Here is what Spica would look like if she completely lost control of her rage+and her braid suddenly came undone. Yes, she is colossal in size here, too

I even gave her a name: Azure Fire Dragon

The things that Cosmos says to refute Lunar are LITERALLY what friends/family of abusers will tell the victims when they try and seek help.

“He wouldn’t do that! You’re misremembering! You’re lying! It wasn’t that bad! What did you do to deserve it? That’s just how he’s supposed to act!”

SO many abuse survivors have been told this, including me! Abusers don’t just abuse everyone around them, they will often pick one person and abuse them in secret or in a setting where people won’t care about it. That’s like, one of the most common fucking things abusers do.

Especially since we know that Moon DOES act like that!!! He’s threatened multiple times to shut down the shamrocks! He DOES yell for no reason! As the audience, we KNOW he does these things!

If this isn’t meant to show that Cosmos is being a horrible person, I genuinely hope that an abuse survivor never has to confide in the writers for anything. Genuinely, can someone tell me what the hell they were thinking? Do they seriously think Cosmos is doing the right thing here?

And don’t even try to “it’s just a show it’s not that deep” me. I understand that characters often DO have negative traits, and the idea that Cosmos might be in denial about the extent of Moon’s abuse, and therefore denies Lunar being abused, would be an interesting idea to explore. In a more subtlety written show, I’d absolutely give them the benefit of the doubt. But, having watched this show for as long as it’s ran: They do NOT deal with complex character motivations like that. They do not write with subtlety. If a character wants or feels something, they will often outright state it. So either they’ve suddenly changed their entire writing style, or they SOMEHOW thought that “family member denies other family member’s abuse against their employee” was a good thing.
