so today’s episode huh- *starts sobbing*
fr what are your thoughts?
Carmine deserves love and his favorite things after all that!
MHM and I do have a lot to say regarding Carme and Moon🗣️
I've already shared my thoughts on Rigel (+him and Carme’s relationship), and most of them haven’t changed. Waiting till we get to see more of the bastard.

Overall, I'm enjoying Carme’s portrayal. I so badly want to know what he went through. The emotional response to seeing Rigel hit me hard. The kind of distress he was representing of becoming fully irrational and basically lashing out on anyone that tried to reason with him 10/10. And even after he told Moon to shut up, you can faintly hear him say “I did it again.” — Proving more to my theory of Carme being conditioned to the person he’s become, due to the trauma he’s experienced. Mostly what I've suspected about Carme's emotional state is accurate, and I fully expected this reaction from him. —probrably not to this extreme extent.
Obviously my biggest issue is Moon. Moon WAS trying to help — albeit very poorly. Carme refusing help does not give Moon alot of options. Moon is not equipped to handle these emotionally tense situations, but he has proven many times in the past he is capable if he understands the context. Moon is someone who gets continuously aggravated if not given all the details. What I’ve said before about Moon almost putting Carme on a pedestal comes into play here. He’s never seen this side of Carme and has an already set impression of him. Arguably, he doesn’t know Carme well enough. Carme lashing out at him turns into Moon basically creating an emotional distance. He is seeing the similarities they have between each other as moons and it’s effecting his judgement. Rather than acting on what would be best for Carme, he’s acting based on his own experiences.
Of course, none of it is an excuse and I don’t like it. To me it doesn’t feel like our current Moon, more of him reverting back to previous behavior patterns. Moon has grown a lot as a character from who he was at the start of the show, and even as he’s still working on himself and at times repeating his old ways, its disheartening to see that effect his relationship with Carme. But I will never expect him to be perfect.
I’m sure there will be a turning point in this for the both of them. They’ll find their way back to each other, because in the end this friendship has been a huge focus from the start. Even if Moon took the right steps, the scene still would’ve ended the same. It’s Carme who has to be willing to let people help him, but we have to understand he is a victim of abuse with still very fresh wounds. These two could do so much for each other if they would just push for that connection. They are a basic Yin and Yang, two sides of the same coin.
I only now worry about Carme😭😭
‼️(smaller thoughts on this because as much as i enjoy doing analysis, it can can be overwhelming doing them so often when i just wanna enjoy watching the show and post art. i’ll try and post them from time to time because i love sharing my takes, but im giving myself a breather JUST KNOW IM LURKING.)
