Disintigration

Two pieces I really enjoyed making, my thoughts on the different stages of Eclipse's life - or at least the multiple versions of himself, up until his death at the hands of Lunar and his star power.

I think I'd like to do a post villain arc Eclipse as well, though I should probably find a way to catch up to the shows XD

@pbmonstaa made a comment about wanting to put Eclipse in their pocket, I had to draw how that would go down xD

and @icetigerkitten gave me OODLES of inspo for magically shrunken down Eclipse and the many bugs he'd befriend while trying to return to full size, so below is a bunch of art for that 🤣 icetigerkitten, if you post your doodles of Eclipse/Leaf/pebble shenanigans I will happily reblog it!!!!!!!

I rewatched some videos. It's sad that Nexus didn't believe he could've told Sun, or anyobe else how he felt. Mourning their relationship cause in the end of the day Nexus is Sun's baby brother. It's sad that they all kinda just gave up on Nexus and didn't try harder (except for Sun cause Sun tried HARD). Sun doesn’t even know to THIS DAY that Monty shocked Nexus to get in his head to talk to Moon. I hated how Puppet forced Sun into making a decision like it was nothing. Sun didn't wanted Nexus to turn out like Moon but unknowingly pushed him into that role.

This episode made me so angry.

What the actual heck Sun? Locking away Nexus even though Moon did the same thing to you?

He’s right about Terra too. She isn’t a therapist. She doesn’t have the years of experience but you can’t accept that she can be wrong.

Also if Nexus can’t kill Bloodmoon then neither can Monty. Especially since Nexus decided not to revive Solar with Bloodmoon’s code. He just wants hep Molten kill Ruin and kill Bloodmoon too. It’s not a bad thing to want 2 murderers dead especially if one of them is the reason that Solar is dead.

Heck Nexus was prepared to have Solar no longer speak to him if he ever revived him.

Sun was making me so angry. He did say he was going to let Nexus free but then he said he didn’t want to see him again. Even though he hadn’t done anything wrong except tell Terra the truth.

And telling the computer to shock Nexus into unconsciousness is absolutely disgusting. That’s your brother. Idc if you say he isn’t.

He has done so much for you all but he says hurtful things and you decide to abandon him? Even though he gave up his plan of reviving Solar with Bloodmoon’s code and just wants 2 murderers dead?

I mean first of all, literally.

He’s gonna have to surgically detach his rays from that slide.

And then we have his living space, the Superstar daycare. Big at first but when it’s the only place you can seem to access while others get free roam of half the building or even get to go outside of it? TINY. The outside world is unfathomably HUGE in comparison. And everyone he comes into contact with has basically seen so much more of it than he has. And that must feel so impressive to him but at the same time so strange and …maybe somewhat limiting? Like no matter how hard he tries to relate or understand from his little corner, others have experienced things firsthand that he probably never has. Things he’s read to kids in storybooks and sang songs about but never seen up close.

And we know that in some sense he likes things to be just so. The barrels are aligned. The lights stay on. That’s the only way he feels safe. So I imagine his own limited perspective when he comes face to face with people from the outside world feels kind of scary to him in a way.

And despite the daycare being his domain, people encroach upon his space without warning, and he plays along. All of a sudden there are people and he must deal with them accordingly and he must act in a certain way no matter how he feels about it and how much stress he’s put under (for example, continuing on with playtime despite the whole situation with Moon, perhaps because he has to, or he wants to, or he has nothing else - maybe all of the above).

^ Look at his little room! It makes me sad. I don’t know if Moon ripped up all the bots that are scattered over the floor or if Sun did or if someone else did but the fact is the place looks so depressing compared to most of the Glamrocks’ rooms it’s painful. Here we have two of the most neglected robots in the pizzaplex and they carry on like that doesn’t matter, but we know Sun knows that something is very wrong so even if this is the norm for him and even if he’s used to it, the more broken bits and pieces he encounters the more it must be killing him because every day when he’s done entertaining the kids or pretending someone’s going to show up that day (depending on if the daycare is closed or not) he goes back to a permanent reminder of just how messed up things have become.

And he seems SO HAPPY to see a stranger from outside of that little room. No matter how you look at that, it’s pretty sad. Is he faking his enthusiasm? What a frustrating and stressful situation that must be to be at the beck and call of someone you don’t genuinely want to be around and act like you’re their new best friend. Is he actually excited? What a stressful situation that must be too, only for any semblance of control you had to be abruptly torn from you as you’re forced to switch when the lights go out, clearly horrified by what’s going to happen all the while because you know it won’t be good for anyone.

Does it hurt when he switches? I’m fascinated by Sun’s relationship with Moon. It’s played in so many interesting ways by the fandom. Are they two separate people? Are they like roommates who share a body? Are they two aspects of the same AI? They’re so versatile and I love it. I love all the takes there are on their personalities. Sun? Silly, goofy, playful, ray of sunshine, bundle of nerves, parental, fiery, bossy, strict, the embodiment of anxiety, and so on. Moon? Prankster, gremlin, sleepy, calm, collected, grumpy, silly, catlike, etc. I love it when they get along and I love it when they don’t. I have so many feelings about them both and it’s less that I want to know the truth about them (if there is such a thing) and more I just like exploring every avenue because they’re just really fun and fascinating characters.

And THAT SYMBOLISM. Wow. The sun and moon themes give you so much to play around with. So many metaphors and so many things you can plaster the surfaces of your house or the background of your phone with that make you think of them. The moon’s phases. The way the sun sets earlier in the winter. Would Sun get tired more easily in the winter? Does Moon have a blue moon phase that makes him feel down at the drop of a hat? Because same, guys, same.

I made this several months ago for an Villains AU event on TSBS discord. I haven't shared it on here until now because I always wanted the first image to be a proper video showing Sun's descent into insanity, buuuut I don't have the time or the motivation for that, so that's never gonna happen rip
