#rip winter

Overall for both families the moment moon or killcode shows aggression solstice panics and runs with eclipse/solar in a panicked attempt to protect these bots who look so much like his lost little one. It helps the sea and mirror family in finding him because winter had installed a chip into solstice the first time they tried to escape that electrocutes their mother board and shuts them off to keep them from being able to leave both the daycare and their universe so not like solstice can go far. Because winter had considered solstice his and would tear solstice apart whenever solstice had tried to leave in the past and has left quite a few Endo breaks unhealed to keep solstice slow and loud when moving because of pain to keep them from being able to sneak away.

Jesus fuckin christ. Damn Winter, you're def going to be murdered. Mirror SEA Moon isn't fun to have on your ass because you hurt a solar aligned individual. Neither are a pissy Normal SEA Bloodmoon fun, who'll also tear you apart at the first sign of shady behaviour

Winter is not having a good time. With neither families. Mirror SEA fam might keep him alive in excrutiating pain for some time so he can experience the same treatment he dished out, not because there's some form of justice in that, but simply because they want him to suffer.

And both Suns would absolutely try their bests to calm down Solstice, telling him it's going to be fine, their family won't let anything happen to neither him, nor to Eclipse/Solar. Especially not to Eclipse/Solar.

Eclipse wouldn't appreciate being treated so fragilely, especially when his family is winning, no matter what. He'd probably get the hell out from the tower, because he doesn't want to just sit by and hide when he can work on the portal back home. And maybe repairing this sun model because he's in bad shape. Like Eclipse is in a better condition and thus stronger than Solstice.

Solar only wouldn't do that because of his integrational issues, but if Solstice isn't looking for a second he'd just rush to the balcony, shout down to his dad and be taken down where he can then safely work on the portal home.

I will never forget getting to see you in person. Twice.

Especially the moment you swam two feet in front of me.

Like many others, you had inspired me to push and do my best. I knew that if you could face your challenges, I could, too.

You had helped so many people. Veterans, amputees, children, sooo many people.

You changed the world, too. Now prosthetics are designed to be more comfortable thanks to the research put into you.

You had become a part of me. I wouldn’t have as much knowledge on ocean life if it weren’t for you.

I love you, girl. Fly high 🕊

Rest in peace, Winter.

To the one who paved the way for my dolphin obsession at 6 years old when I first saw Dolphin Tale, thank you. I'll cherish the memories and happy feelings that your life brought me and I'll be forever thankful to my mom who brought me to see you and Hope all those years ago.

I still have the videos of you chirping and singing and bobbing around in the water, and I listen to those now to comfort me now that you've died.

Thank you for existing sweet girl, and thank you for the joy and admiration your life brought to the millions of lives around the world.

I took a video back in 2018 of Winter when I visited her, and I so wish I had taken more now that she's gone. I was about 12 in this, and being able to see the star of one of my favorite movies is still the absolute highlight of the trip.
