Sun messed up a lot with Nexus but no him hearing that his brother got reset with no memories and deciding to treat him as his twin brother with amnesia instead of saying "no you don't remember anything so you can't have that name and I won't consider you my twin anymore" is not one of them dfcgvhb
To be clear since I keep seeing a lot of people say the line "they thought Nexus was OM with amnesia" like it was wrong. It's not even that, he was Moon with amnesia, but that naturally means he is going to end up as a different Person in the end. If you took away 3/4ths of Sun's memories the same thing would happen and he would become a wildly different Person than modern Sun, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't still call him Sun or their brother even if he only remembers Moon by default. It just means they shouldn't expect or force him to be like the Sun he used to be.
It wasn't incorrect to call him Moon, and in cases like it I don't think the solution is automatically he should get a new name/face/etc. I can absolutely imagine Nexus under better circumstances being happy as Moon, while understanding and holding the separation that he's not that exact version of (Old) Moon and shouldn't be responsible for him. The important thing is just letting the person decide for themselves and giving them the room to do that. We can even see the other side of the coin of this with V4, who has the memories but not the same exact code to connect him to V1, still accepting the identity of Eclipse anyway, and it is Lunar who chooses to separate them to make himself feel better against Eclipse's wishes if I remember that bit right.

do you ever find something that is so funny and you want to share it with everyone but it also requires 18 layers of context spanning things like. 90s anime. aviation history. europop. canada. in order to even remotely understand why it is so funny
in the late 90s there was an anime called initial d which was all about street racing and drifting. naturally every single drift was played for great drama and excitement.
in 1999, an italian named giancarlo pasquini released a europop song under the alias dave rogers called Deja Vu. this song was picked up as the theme song for the above anime. it in turn became a meme, a shorthand for drifting and Cool Moves as a concept.
in 1983, air canada flight 143, a full sized 767, ran out of fuel halfway to edmonton, alberta. this is not something you want to have happen to a huge airplane. the flight chose to try and make an emergency landing at a nearby decomissioned airforce base (as they were falling fast and could not make it to a proper airport), where they ran into a second problem: they were falling out of the sky at 500 feet per mile, but reached gimli (the base in question) while still too high to safely land. normally a plane would just do a big loop-de-loop to lose altitude, but they had maybe three minutes of airtime left before they hit the ground: not enough time to make any kind of circle. the pilot, therefore, decided to execute a side slip to lose speed and altitude. this is Not a move you want to do with a massive 767, because airplanes are not built for that and if you screw it up that plane is hitting the ground at a high speed at a weird angle and breaking into a million pieces. nevertheless, the captain tried it... and succeeded. the plane landed perfectly, and there were no major injuries! (a couple of people did get minor injuries when evacuating the plane after.) he did it so well, in fact, that the plane was refueled, flown out of gimli a couple days later, and continued to fly for another 20 years with the nickname "Gimli Glider."
what is a side-slip, you ask?
it's drifting.
the guy goddamn drifted his 767.
in 2008, the tv show Mayday: Air Disaster featured the gimli glider with full reenactments as an episode on season five of their show.
and so, in conclusion, the thing i have been giggling to myself about all weekend:
Body Horror: Things that cannot happen in real life.
EX: The Thing, stomach mouths, eyes on hands, etc
Gore: Fresh injuries, often severe.
EX: Severed leg, gutspill, deep gashes, etc
NEITHER: Healed injuries and burns, congenital differences, missing appendages, etc. If I could theoretically go to the store and see that character browsing the isles- It isn't body horror or gore. That's just a person.
*AND the amount of people that tag, not just fictional characters, but real human beings as body horror is staggering. Its not solely a fandom issue, ableism and bigotry against anyone that looks sufficiently "different" is prevalent in real life and has devastating consequences.
Tumblr being the "piss on the poor" reading comprehension site makes sense when you realize that 79% of adults in the US are functionally illiterate. Same goes for Twitter and TikTok.
that's a real high number, sport. where'd you get it?

I took my little brother (autistic, mostly non verbal) out and he was using his voice keyboard to tell me something, and this little boy (maybe 4 or 5?) heard him and asked me "Is he a robot??" I tried to explain to him that no, he isn't a robot, he just communicates differently, but my darling brother was in the background max volume "I am robot I am robot I am robot I am robot"
My little brother insisted if I was going to post about him, he wanted a cut of the "profits". When I explained to him that Tumblr isn't monetized, and is pretty pointless, he and my older brother pointed out that he'd still be bringing me "fame and notoriety" if the post got "big". So we agreed, if the post hit 10k notes, which seemed extremely farfetched and silly at the time, I'd take my little brother out for sushi (his favorite food) and let him eat as much as he wants.
I guess God wanted the little robot to enjoy some sushi 🍣 🥲
There's an awful trend in reading that's this CinemaSins kind of rejection of abstract concepts and suspension of disbelief, that makes people say it's bad writing when authors use descriptions that aren't immediately one to one with physical reality.
Like it's bad when a "tattoo is undulating" (as opposed to... "drawn in a wave like pattern on the skin"?), or when hair is "wet wheat from a late Summer field" (as opposed to "sort of brownish light yellow that dries lighter, but is not actual wheat stalks growing on someone's head but kind of reminiscent of the color and texture"?), or when when ice cream tastes like midnight at the fair" (as opposed to "ice cream flavour bringing back memories of undefined ice cream flavours that are individually popular but always tied to a memory of late evening at the fair ground and probably smelling vaguely like popcorn and sugar"?).
Please. We have to get back to understanding abstract descriptions that evoke feelings and memories and mental images or things we haven't experienced yet. This hyper utilitarian way of reading and judging text is killing fiction. it's robbing you of experiencing things you haven't actually personally experienced.
TSAMS AU (or do these count more as OCs at this point?), Captain Zenith (Eclipse) and Captain Aphelion (Sun). This started as a "What if Moon accidentally hit Sun a little too hard?" thought experiment and spiraled out of control before I knew what was happening. Idk where the pirate thing came from but we ball. Info about the AU under the cut (I wrote all the lore in one go and I'm too tired to proof read, ignore any typos).
TLDR; Interdimensional pirates that sail in between dimensions on the fabric of reality, who kidnap people from different dimensions and demand ransom money. They're co-dependent ruffians and probably have some kind of PTSD, but they'd rather drunkenly sing sea shanties together and go gambling than think about that too hard.
AU divergence from the original story starts really early, during those few first few fights between Sun and Moon, down in that little bunker while hiding from the government. When Moon hits Sun, he accidentally swings a little too hard and shatters part of Sun's faceplate. Moon immediately feels horrible guilt and lets Sun leave without much fuss, wanting to give him space. He doesn't know that'd be the last he'd ever see of his brother.
Sun, instead of going to Golden Freddy, heads back to the daycare to steal Moon's dimensional gun (assume he has one at this point) and uses it to intentionally get himself lost within dimensions, both to screw over Eclipse and not have to ever see his brother again. But, once the anger dies down and it fully settles in what he'd just done... Sun gives up. He gives Eclipse full reigns of his body. He'd just permanently rid himself of his brother and his daycare job that he adored so much, and he no longer saw a point in fighting it anymore.
Eclipse, although initially furious, quickly discovers that Sun just gave him the opportunity to be an interdimensional criminal with basically 0 consequences. He can commit armed robbery at a bank and steal weaponry from the government, and what are they gonna do about it? Arrest him when he's already 15 dimensions away?
It doesn't take long for the emptiness and deep loneliness to settle in. Seeing as he never made Lunar, he instead turns to Sun, goading him into joining. It takes a while, but Sun-- lonely, miserable, vulnerable, and deeply missing his brother that he loves hates-- gives in... And so begins his complete dissociation from who he used to be. He's not Sun anymore, he's not the happy-go-lucky daycare attendant anymore, he's Aphelion the heartless criminal! Stop- stop acknowledging that he still goes out of his way to avoid harming kids at all costs. He's a heartless criminal! (Eclipse renames himself to Zenith to match with Aphelion renaming himself)
Things change with time. 1.5 years in has Zenith and Aphelion sharing a rocky, unsteady truce. It's not like they have anyone else who's remotely on their side. They're running across dimensions, stealing what they need and making enemies all over. But who cares? Neither of them can trust or rely on anyone; not even each other, outside of their truce. 4 years in and they've adopted each other as twins, having (mostly) let go of their past grievances altogether. It's not like they have anyone else. They've started to gain a reputation among fellow interdimensional travelers as a dangerous person(s) to avoid. 8 years in and they're being chased down by the people they've crossed in other dimensions. A version of Monty grabs Aphelion by the leg and snaps off the lower half of it. It's the first time Aphelion didn't feel very bad when Zenith kills someone. They get a peg leg instead of a full replacement, because they're paranoid of being hunted down and are working with what they have. 11 years in and Zenith discovers how to travel the fabric of reality in between dimensions, they just need to stay in the tiny boat he designed for it. That makes it very, very hard for anyone to track them down.
22 years in and they now have a full fledged pirate ship. Aphelion insists they start dressing and talking like pirates, because if they have the ship then they've gotta play the part! Zenith thinks it's lame until he helps style an outfit he thinks actually looks really cool... He doesn't bother with the accent though.
25 years in and they steal Moon's daycare security AI. Well, no, Zenith steals it (Aphelion felt anxious even being moderately adjacent to any version of the daycare again). Zenith straight up opens a portal behind the arcade machine and steals it, then reprograms it to be loyal to them. The AI earns the new name and title of First Mate when it evaporates someone and saves their lives a few months after being sto- ahem, "recruited." First Mate is immediately integrated very closely into the ship's security systems, and Sun practices magic to put protective barriers around it in addition to all the firewalls Eclipse programmed in.
26 years in and they have a version of Lunar follow them onto their ship, demanding they return whatever it was they stole. Zenith ties Lunar up and threatens their family to pay ransom, unless they want Lunar to walk the plank (who knows what'll happen if you fall in the space between dimensions?). Aphelion ignores the guilt of playing along, and Zenith tries to shake off the feeling that he hurt someone who should've been important to him. Oh well.
30 years in and kidnapping people from random dimensions and threatening their family to pay ransom has become quite normal for them both. Aphelion has grown highly proficient with his sword, and Zenith loves the power trip of pointing his gun in people's faces when they start mouthing off (that's no normal flintlock pistol-- it's custom made by him and it can blow a hole straight through titanium). They've used the money to upgrade their ship and equipment significantly. Aphelion's an even worse alcoholic than Zenith is, and they sing sea shanties together when they're not busy kidnapping people (First Mate disables the wheel controls whenever they start drinking so that they don't go drunk driving their ship). They're both so, so deeply lonely despite how co-dependent they are at this point. They'd rather drink and steal more things than look directly at the festering feelings in their head.
31 years in and it's their first time kidnapping that weird "Tara" (or sometimes "Earth") girl they've had pay up ransom a handful of times. She's so... So nice to them. It shakes something in Aphelion that he thought he'd already drowned out completely, and Zenith doesn't know how to handle it. They decide to put her back in her dimension before her family has a chance to pay up the ransom. They never kidnap another version of her again, and they might be a little more willing to forgive a payment that falls a little short of what they demanded if it's a version of Tara talking to them. (She also tried to give them therapy and they're scared of therapy)
... Which brings us to now. It's been 32 years since Aphelion first left his own dimension and they're better than ever! Just ignore the raging alcoholism... And Zenith getting their insides coated in ash from smoking all the time... And them temporarily kidnapping people on a whim, without demanding ransom, just because of how desperate they are for any kind of company outside themselves (First Mate isn't very sociable, unfortunately)... And them freezing up at the slightest hint of physical contact, because it's been literal decades since they've gotten so much as hand holding... And the extreme paranoia... And the trust issues... And the co-dependence... Ahem. Anyways.
I don't know if I'll do anything else with these guys. This idea's been plaguing me all throughout finals and I just wanted to get it out there.

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.
Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?
