I think a lot of Earth’s issues stems from the fact that she just defends and befriends bad people and faces like no push back from it. I think the biggest case of that was definitely The Creator which I don’t actually have a problem with it other than how it was handled. I like Earth being a spy willingly or not and giving The Creator updates about what Sun n Moon were doing especially with how much their personalities contrast. Like The Creator is one of the worst people ever, just wants to use his creations for his own benefit despite how that impacts their own lives, and how Earth is a very sweet and caring person. I liked the added conflict of Earth coming out of nowhere in a very stressful and impactful time of Moon resetting and Eclipse getting the star since she was a breath of fresh air that was actually on Sun and Moon’s side, or appeared to be.

I think the biggest change I would have is completely getting rid of Forgor. I thought about this a lot and instead of Earth just forgetting about all the horrible things The Creator did, she knew but would make excuses and defend him anyway, not in a “oh she defends terrible people bc she’s a terrible person too” but in a “Earth is extremely sheltered and was literally built by The Creator, the only person she knew for the first year of her life (if I’m remembering that correctly), so she defends him bc she doesn’t want to think of her father as a bad person” type of way. I want Earth to genuinely be a good person with good intentions that still hurts the people she cares about.

Earth wouldn’t just forgetting about the things The Creator does and instead tries to down play it to Moon and Sun by saying how he didn’t mean it like that or that he just has a temper. Like The Creator could threaten Sun n Moon straight to their faces right in front of her and Earth would still go “aww he must have had a pretty bad day today let’s not take that to heart :)” and Sun and Moon would be like wtf.

Of course Earth would eventually understand that The Creator isn’t a good person and hurting people, but it be a slow process mixed with a lot of other things going on.

Another big change would just be her personality in general. I actually really like Earth’s personality around when she gets her new body. It kinda removed her from being the female character who had to act all motherly to the male characters. I actually think you could have a sort of twist on this archetype by setting Earth to be that type of character but through her actions and words, show that’s she not like that at all in is much more complex.

I would still have her be very sweet and bubbly but still way too forgiving, even to characters who don’t really deserve it. She would also have a very idealistic view of how the world works. I think her also being isolated with The Creator would have a big impact of how she interacts with others.

I actually don’t think The Creator could properly make a ‘nice character’. Earth would be his attempt but she would fall flat in a lot of ways. We know Earth took care of him before being released to the daycare and how that program was so she could take care of children, but what if that was the only way she could interact with the others? Her ‘motherly attitude’ isn’t her just checking up on the other characters but how she can infantilize them. She deals with arguments and problems the same way she would with 2 toddlers fighting in the daycare. Her solutions don’t really work in the more serious issues the face. Talking to her can sometimes become frustrating since she doesn’t see problems in a nuanced light.

I definitely think she would overuse therapy-speak in a non malicious way. I never like that they tried to make Earth therapist. I thought it was stupid. I much more like the others going to Earth to vent about their problems because Earth gives the illusion that she’s good with emotions and helping others handle theirs. She tries her best and genuinely wants to help but she just doesn’t have the experience. I think she would have a problem processing her own emotions. Like with The Creator she would get very upset and defensive if people tried to bad talk him, or when Lunar called her out for being friends with Eclipse she just accused Lunar of not letting Eclipse grow as a person, or when Monty kept doing the shit they were doing she just let them make excuses for it and never actually held them to any standard, or when New Moon got upset at her and rightfully called her out, she just blows up back at him bc she doesn’t know how to handle those emotions.

I just think she wouldn’t be able to handle confrontation well since it would go against her world view of everything being happy and rainbows and would actually reveal a lot of problems in the people she cares about. Unfortunately having The Creator as her father made it so she’s much more tolerant of bad behavior and let her go on to defend other bad people like Monty and Eclipse. Sure, they became better later on but at the expense of hurting other people.

I just see Earth as someone is who genuinely cares a lot about others and wants to do good but is extremely bias, close minded, and stubborn in her own ideals and is only able to change though all the shit she went though.

Another thing I would change is kinda her relationship to Bloodmoon.

Bloodmoon is one of the most repulsive characters in the TSAMS universe. The massacred hundreds without remorse and went out of their way despite being given multiple chances at redemption. I love Bloodmoon as a character and I would love for them to be a sort of challenge to Earth’s world view. Idk I just found their interactions very fun.

Earth would of course try to get the Bloodmoon twins to redeem themselves but they would fight back at every stop. I think I would add more moments of Bloodmoon going to the pizzeria to harass the Celestial Family and Earth just trying to talk the out of it and the Bloodmoon twins being genuinely confused. They just wouldn’t know how to handle someone actually trying to talk them out of killing with such sincerity that it would just cause them to developed a pure hatred for her. Like them almost killing her was just love for the game they just wanted her gone. But Earth would still try to redeem themselves until the whole 3 parter where Ruin and Bloodmoon kidnap her and almost killing Monty. I would like that to be where her nativity kinda dies bc before that was her fight with New Moon which I would make 100x worse, her finally seeing her dad in a negative light, then the 1 person she repeatedly gave chances to spitting in her face and making clear they didn’t want to become better an were going to continue hurting people, even the people she loved and cared for, would make that last thread of hope in that anyone could be a good person snap and she just decides to murk Bloodmoon right then and there.

I would have her chasing Bloodmoon through the tunnels so much more intense, like she would literally be breaking through walls and shit just to beat that little blood freak into the floor. The second she gets her hands on them Ruin has to rush to immobilize her before she actually kills the twins. Idk I just want it to be really violent to combat Earth’s usually very docile personality.

But it would basically just be the death to Earth’s remaining innocence I guess. I would like her character arc to be her slowly getting out of her sheltered world view and come to understand that not everyone is a good person and can be redeemed.

Uhhh I would also just have her and Monty break for a while. I actually don’t mind Earth and Monty ending up so quickly if you have it to where Earth has literally never been around other animatronics and hasn’t dated and Monty is the first person to have interest so she just decides to go along with it. Monty would still keep a lot of their personality and the events that happens in MGAFS (though I would still had a lot of major changes)

People would still bring up Monty’s behavior to her in which she just brushes off or in the rare chance she talks to Monty about it, they just do the whole “but I’m trying to change 🥺🥺🥺” bit and she easily forgives and defends him. I’d also probably have bigger moments with her and Foxy since she does enable Monty a lot, someone who repeatedly hurts Foxy.

At one point, maybe when she really starts to question her dad and all the things he’s done, is when she will really start getting on Monty about what they’ve done. She would stop letting things go under the carpet and want answers since she feels as if maybe all the people she loves could be bad people. Of course this would all be because of how this impacts her and Foxy would call her out on it but it would just be a step for Earth to really see how people are effected by the things she does and I think she could really develop a good relationship with Foxy that would later get Monty to actually admit they were wrong in a lot of ways. (Though a lot of this is just how she would play into what’s going on in MGAFS since she pissed me off a lot there lol)

Earth, after her own spiraling, would probably get advice from Sun and Moon about what she should do with Monty, and since I don’t think Sun or New Moon even really like Monty would just tell her to take a break since it’s all really messing with her. I want this to be a major moment of her somewhat holding someone accountable and not just letting them continue on their bullshit. Like it would lead into her fully cutting off The Creator and getting some of her own agency back. Idk I just want it to show Earth taking the steps to not being as enabling and setting clear boundaries.

They could get back together but as like 2 people who actually went through their own developments and can actually have a healthy relationship. Idk I think they could balance each other out

Hell, I could go on n on about the whole Nexus deal but that can be put in my Nexus rewrite posts. (When I eventually get to that)

But to summarize, Earth starts out as an extremely sheltered person built by one of the terriblest man in the TSAMS universe to be a daycare attendant to spy on her brothers and it went as well as you expected. Her nativity and close mindedness would refuse to let her see different perspectives about how people she cares about can be bad people and suffering in ways that can’t be easily fixed. She would have good intentions but doesn’t handle them in the best ways and ends up just hurting people more. She forgives to easily and is often an enabler until it negatively impacts her. Unfortunately, the lesson she learns doesn’t come easy and after a lot of heartbreak, but she eventually is able to see the world in a much more nuanced light and can actually grow.
