#puffy rambles

Mirroring himself in them, he hopes he can fix himself by "saving" them.

But there is no easy fix or solutions. He never find the thing to fix either of them. Using a person as a mirror of yourself, only to realize how little you think of yourself, will only lead to hurting the other.

Until Carmine can fine the truth within himself, rather than desperately clinging to others in search of solutions, he'll only stay stuck in an evil circle.

So when Lamb and Narinder decide to have kids, its bc they both wanted them.

They end up having very different parenting styles. Lamb is somewhat strict, after all, someone needs to teach these kids how the world works. Doesn't mean theyre less loving or that they're mean to them, but they try to include the kids in things that they know they can handle (even if it just watching).

For Narinder, he surprisingly spends a lot of time with them. They sometimes crawl inside his hoodie when they're still small enough to fit in, so it makes it easy for them to stay close. Narinder believes that the kids will learn on their own time, but its not like he'll complain much about it. Lamb has more experience on this realm of living things than he will ever have.

But I also see why that didn't happen and he instead wore a suit.

First of all, Sun in a dress would outshine Terra too much, and that's simply not fair to the bride.

Secondly, it would have been too big a sudden jump back into femininity.

Sun had it bullied out of him, hard, by Old Moon back in the day. Even dressing up as a princess for the kids in the daycare was mocked, and we all know how rough Moon was about the mockery back then. Then came the jokes at Sun's expense of being gay, bi, a femboy, anything to bully him for being soft and unmanly every way possible.

And yes, quite the irony of mocking Sun for not being manly enough, from people that are genderqueer and genderfluid. But Sun simply is an easy target, because he takes it all in and carries it with him.

What is needed is him gradually finding his confidence back in his masculinity. It won't happen overnight, it will take time and small steps.

Letting Dazzle practice makeup on him, is a great start. Although he was clearly uncomfortable with everyone seeing and commenting on it. I'm sure as Dazzle explores more subtle makeovers, in less crowded settings, it'll go easier.

And his mentor, Dalhia, being a male openly presenting female just for comfort, will be a good role model to help Sun along, the more they get to know each other and relax.

Some thoughts on TSAMS after today's episode.

Moon ONCE AGAIN pointing out

This is HIS HOUSE

Not Sun's

Not THEIRS

Everything they have, is MOON'S

The house, the business

And he STILL fails to realize why this is the main issue. Sun has NOTHING.

I want Sun to just.. go about things. Do his job at the pizzeria, but have HIS OWN ACCOUNT for his pay. I want him to build up HIS OWN value. So he can buy his own house, to raise Dazzle in.

Again, all this time, most of the characters tend to gather around Moon because he is the meal ticket.. He is the one bringing in the bacon. He runs the finances. Even illegally, when needed, as we have experienced in past episodes. Sun has to look into the finances to realize when things don't add up.

Again, I argue for Sun to split from Moon. Not as family, but as the main caretaker of EVERYTHING.

Sun never even brought up how Moon INSTALLS things in him in his sleep, to fulfil some greater plan. Because he knows Sun would say no. Something Moon never apologizes for. Sun needs more than to just run away for a few days. He need his own SPACE, to raise his child and not feel the pressure of how EVERYONE is indebted to Moon one wat or another. Why we see the entire family gathering around Moon, acknowledging Sun is left out, even when CLEARLY disagreeing with the things Moon says in those heats of the moment. Because they ALL are dependent on Moon.

Among reasons why Moon assume himself so superior to everyone. Even if subconsciously.

Even when that moment Sun had with Solar, going "I don't think you are weak", doesn't matter because Sun KNOWS Solar agrees with Moon that Sun is dump - We saw that when Sun provided the solution to fix NovaFrost and Moon and Solar BOTH still called him the moron needed to think outside the box.

Is no wonder Sun is not ready to forgive Moon, after EVERYTHING he has been put through. Moon has promised changes SO MANY TIMES only to go back on those promises, time and time again. Sun said as much himself "The only change is that you aren't physically beating me anymore."

Sun brought up himself their view as brothers can be changed, because.. he doesn't feel like family. He feels like a tool.

He needs distance. Why I still argue that he needs to buy his own space not paid for by Moon. To better focus on himself as a person. As a father. Not a tool, not as something that happens to be there when convenient. Sure they caught NovaFrost thanks to to the EMP Moon installed in him without consent when Sun thought he could just go and talk them into coming back, because they would be less scared of Sun than Moon. That's ruined now, for future reference.

Yes, Moon is sorry. He has been sorry before. Yes Moon finally has the help to understand better through Molten, but is fair Sun doesn't trust it. That takes time, to rebuild that long lost trust. Don't forget the amount of times Moon overstepped Sun's boundaries "for the better good", no matter the results.

They need DISTANCE. More than just a few days apart. More than just a few helping voices going "You are brothers", because as robots, them being brothers is a CHOICE. And Sun has taken that up for consideration time and time again, for good reason.

I guess it's with good reason they been told Sun and Moon in the multiverse considering each other brothers is a rarity. At least in the long run.

When it becomes something that hurts this much.

Sun needs more distance, just to realize himself as a person, without Moon hanging over his every choice.

But that's just my thoughts on the this issue, as a lover of the show

All while the Celestials are busy focusing on the latest arcs on TSAMS.

I just find this very cruel and careless. Yes she betrayed them, but the one manipulating and controlling her is now dead. There are better things they could do than leave her stored away like a broken tool until something comes up making it worth remembering she exists.

Some thoughts I've had on the Makara Astralis, aka Saturn's species on TEASS.

So they origin for one world, we have yet to be given a proper name for it. All we know, according to their own history, "the Mineral" that also origins from their world caused a near extinction event of the dominant species - forcing them to flee their homeworld and rebuild. Rebuilding by going from world to world, conquering and enslaving, to gather resources for themselves.

Meanwhile Owlbert the Owlbear claims this mineral was in fact a power source for the Makara Astralis, where only 20% of the population had a sort of allergic reaction to it that could be lethal.

I assume the armies under the royals, Saturn's siblings, are all fellow Maraka Astralis, but of a lower cast. Obedient soldiers towards those of royal blood under the Grand Celestial. While Saturn's army is a mixture of aliens using technology to look uniform in shape and size - since she's Moonfallen, aka banished, she can't have any contact to her own kind. Gotta recruit outsiders.

We know these conquers have a very low view of other lifeforms. Understandable, when your entire existence is all about enslaving and taking resources from anything that is not your kin.

We've had comments more than once, that they view other intelligent species so lowly, they would in fact eat them if considered as "delicacies". Only time any of them shown any negative reaction to this kind of talk, was when Venus questioned if Pluto had eaten people, during his years away in training and forced survival by himself - Most likely we can assume he trained alongside other of their kind, and cannibalism of their own species is frowned upon. I believed he admitted to only eating local wild life. If fellow students he simply killed, in show of dominance. Which is more common, as I believe we were told once how it's expected to "graduate" by killing your teachers.

Anything to gain resources for their people to undo the event that cost their numbers, by growing as strong and forceful as possible. Continuing on their quest obsessively, for the supposed survival of their own kind.

Including finding any sources of this supposed deadly mineral for destruction, while Owlbert once again points out it's mother of a gathering of this mineral, rather than destruction. If Owlbert is right, the Grand Celestial might be stockpiling this mineral for his own power.

Something definitely happened to cause them to lose their homeworld, something that excused the conquest through galaxies and dimensions. Blindly obeying the Grand Celestial in power, and learning one version of history that one ancient owlbear claims to be a fabrication.

Enough generations have passed for the current state being blind acceptance of what they are taught and what the current Grand Celestia in power says.

Yet here we have the majority of siblings showing the effect of surviving using the mineral to boost themselves. With Neptune revealing he remember as a kid having seen their mother's hair glow in same manner. A strong evidence to Owlbert's claims that things ain't all the way the Grand Celestial claims.

Just my thoughts so far, that I wanted gathered in one place for now. We got a lot of tidbits here and there about Makara Astralis culture and traditions. Like how young their start training to become warriors and soldiers, a near religious brainwashing to be obedient and never question WHY they conquer so blindly.

When introduced as "Nice Eclipse" he was very soft spoken and kind. He also lived under a very violent Moon who blamed him personally for Sun's coma. Always on the edge and doing his best to fill out Sun's shoes as a caretaker as Moon gave no time to keep the daycare going.

Once "Nice Eclipse" escaped that dimension, running for his life as his Moon was ready to kill him in a crazed quest to try bring back his Sun, this Eclipse was given more freedom.

Renaming himself Solar to distance himself from the name Eclipse and what that name made people remember and think of.

Today he is much more blunt and aggressive. A result of not having to keep trying to copy the Sun he knew, and not constantly fearing being scrapped for displeasing anyone around him.

Eclipses tend to be aggressive, a mix between Sun and Moon. He finally gets to just be himself, to be Solar. He is allowed to react angrily at things that annoys him. He's openly Autistic, angry at changes and things outside his set schedule. He loves Jack very much, but Jack's chaotic nature does set off his dislike of changes and surprises. Yet he doesn't have to fear being decommissioned and used for scraps, but reacting naturally.

I already found it too sus that Prez would let her personality chip be returned to the LAES crew just like that. But Dazzle's behaviour in today's episode only confirmed to me it gotta be another phase in Prez' plans and agendas.

Already blaming Lunar for getting in the way of her molding Earth into her perfect protege - but can't just be rid of him. Earth's too attached, killing him would just ruin things.

What's the next best thing? Break him. What's the best tool for that? Guilt.

That's just another Dazzle produced for a purpose, a face and voice that can easily be trusted and get under Lunar's metaphorical skin.

As Monty commented on, that chip was in perfect condition. Pristine like new.

And with how closely Prez is watching Earth and her friends, no way anything be falling through the cracks on her watch.
