#tbh I didn't know that i'd ever bring him back or try to redeem him.

I’m at such a mental tug o war with eclipse rn, because on the one hand, I can understand where he’s coming from and what he’s going through (as I used to be somewhat similar, to a MUCH less severe degree), but on the other, I can’t just FORGIVE what he’s done to Lunar… and I kinda feel bad about it… but eclipse also abused the shit out of him…

anyway just my thoughts on the current situation, I doubt my mind will change on eclipse, but I can appreciate the character development

after all, it is explain, not excuse

//Completely understandable, and completely ok! My goal has been achieved if people feel conflicted! >:3

My goal is to make his situation complicated. You can see and understand why he did the things he did, but none of that excuses any of his actions. It only explains his reasoning. He still could have changed and he had several opportunities to. This is different from Nexus who had the opportunities, was supposedly trying to get better at one point, then threw it all away. Nexus doesn't want to get better anymore. Eclipse does (whether he'll say it out loud or not).

So if you don't like him, that's totally fine! If you're conflicted, that's ok too! And if you sympathize/empathize, also good! He's both hard to love and hard to hate right now :)//
