A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF A SCENE + ANALYSIS + THEORY

[EPISODE: RUIN’S PLAN TO SAVE MONTY / MAY 6TH 2024]

Something I’ve always managed to do throughout watching TSAMS…TEAPS..TSBS… I know when Eclipse is acting off. He seemed…a little off in today’s episode. Though…it’s iffy. It’s not “off” because he still seems in-character for the most part. But he’s a little less logical than normal? He’s jumping to the gun to fire first which…is and isn’t odd. (Basically, this is me shooting in the dark.)

Eclipse was VERY adamant on killing Ruin’s Monty. That Montgomery’s goal is to spread the Ruin Virus and wreak havoc upon the TEAPS universe. We know that Eclipse is…not SPITEFUL towards Ruin in any way. He’s not choosing this path out of anger against Ruin. He favors him, if anything. We even saw it when Ruin was KIDNAPPED. Eclipse was the first to try to hold him back and warn him. Along with that, Ruin has just always been patient with Eclipse and at his side in moments needed.

So, what does that mean?

It means Eclipse has an ulterior motive. No, not a “hahaha I’m a bad guy” motive, it means he has a motivation to kill Monty that is more important to him than Ruin’s motive to save him.

He also seemed more aggressive in this video. Almost like he’s relapsing to V1.

[Side claim, I refer to Eclipse as V1-4 due to personality changes and growth in character. He has always been the same eclipse. I have argued this for a LOOONG time.]

[7:11] “I give you a chance to prove yourself and you turn your back on me?!” [Eclipse]

Along with yelling at everyone, insulting them, etc.

YES, this is “typical Eclipse behavior”, but it is so subtly more emphasized than it used to be. It’s just more relevant than normal - that it feels uncanny.

[3:40] “The virus…makes you…angry! It makes you aggressive, it makes you violent.” [Ruin]

Interesting description.

NOW, NOW. I MIGHT BE GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF. I STILL HAVE THE CHANCE TO TRIP AND EAT SHIT.

However.

This scene is what intrigued me most.

==============================

🔅= ECLIPSE DIALOGUE

🦊🍼= FC DIALOGUE

FC approaches the counter Eclipse stands behind as everyone else leaves to calm down.

🔅: “Am I really getting a lecture from you?”

Eclipse has stuck with his idea to kill Ruin’s Montgomery no matter the cost - to prevent disaster asap. But the team to save Monty is bigger.

🦊🍼: “you. suck.”

🔅: “Really? Is that your big comeback?”

🦊🍼: “Yep. That’s all. Goodbye.”

FC leaves the room,

🔅: “Oh, ffffuck off.”

Eclipse is left by himself at the counter, pondering to himself.

He’s “sighing” to himself. A mix between groans, or a struggle to recollect his breath.

🔅: “Sometimes I imagine—” He trails off, it’s incoherent.

. . .

🔅: “I maybe have two months before all this starts to…spiral out of control.”

🔅: “By then…I don’t even know if I’ll be here.”

🔅: “Or maybe I’ll lose my mind quicker.”

HE SEEMS FULLY AWARE HE’S INFECTED IF I AM RIGHT. EVERYTHING ELSE I TALKED ABOUT? LITTLE DETAILS…LITTLE HINTS.

He’s angry at everyone for whatever their option is.

He’s getting aggressive by yelling at them.

He’s getting violent and focusing that energy onto Ruin’s Monty…to KILL HIM.

BUT ECLIPSE IS ANRGY, AGGRESSIVE, AND VIOLENT.

If I’m WRONG, I’m WRONG.

If I’m RIGHT…DAVIS IS MAKING ECLIPSE BE THE FIRST TO GO BECAUSE HE WILL BE THE HARDEST TO FIGURE OUT UNTIL IT’S TOO LATE! THERE’S WOOL BEING PULLED OVER OUR EYES AND IT’S PURPLE AND LAGGY.

THEY’VE TAKEN OUT RUIN. ONE OF THE SMARTEST PEOPLE THERE.

Of COURSE THEY WOULD TAKE ECLIPSE NEXT. This is what the MIMIC DID. WHICH. HEY! STILL AROUND.

THEY’RE PLAYING US FOR FOOLS!

BUT I. AND I ALONE. SEE THROUGH IT.

SEE THROUGH MY EYES AND REVEAL THE TRUTH TO YOURSELF.
