Oh, Me Too! It's Been So, So Long BUT IT HAPPENED!!

Oh, me too! It's been so, so long BUT IT HAPPENED!!

(SUN AND MOON SHOW SPOILERS)

HE FINALLY DID IT!! HE FINALLY OPENED UP!!!

I'm freaking choked up but smiling right now. Sun has been holding all of this pain back for MONTHS; for more than half a year.

THIS is how the incident with Bloodmoon's death should have gone rather than Moon only focusing on how HE HIMSELF feels rather than what Sun was feeling and what was motivating him to do drastic things.

But I think Moon absolutely made up for it today, or has at least started to. I only think it's taken this long because of both the myriad of distractions the brothers are dealing with, and, more importantly, I think Moon was waiting for Sun to come to him. I get the feeling that Moon's known that something's up, but either he didn't know how to approach Sun about it, or another thing.

Something I've learned the hard way is that you can't force someone to open up and get help; you have to wait until THEY are ready (as much as they make you want to pull your hair out because of HOW GODDAMN STUBBORN--sorry).

But I'm SO GLAD Moon put his foot down because Sun was already too deep in believing that nobody would care about his suffering. And how Moon took a break WITH Sun, ready to help if Sun's psyche started acting up... I just, I can't. So many happy tears!

Things are far from fixed, but we've, at long last, started down the road.

On a lighter note, it's kind of ironic to me how "Bloodmoon" came in at just the right time; where Moon could finally at least have a bit of insight on Sun's current mental state, when all "he's" been doing is tearing Sun down. I can't believe I'd ever say this, but THANK YOU SUDDEN BLOODMOON HALLUCINATION~! :D

Also, GOD Davis and Reed KILLED IT today! Sun's denial, Moon's persistence, the line "BECAUSE YOU'RE MY BROTHER!", and finally the breakdown... man. I mean, they always do a great job -- all the actors do, on all the channels. Whether you like how they make the characters sound or not, you have to give them credit for the hard work they do. They don't just work on these shows, they have their own channels with FnaF Minecraft roleplays! Also, you know, real life is a thing for everyone.

This might be denial speaking again, but despite all the bad things I pointed out the Computer has also had moments of kindness. Those moments are just more nuanced, if that's the right word.

As far as I've known (I started watching around September-ish), the Computer has done nothing violent nor have they ever shown an actual, genuine interest in causing anyone extreme pain.

When Sun called out Eclipse (PREACH IT, PAST SUN!), they took the situation seriously and, even after giving the twins a treasure trove of information, they sounded really and genuinely sorry for not having all the answers to their questions.

Something like having Moon work "under pressure" when Sun what about to get murdered by a psychotic Lunar is unacceptably selfish, but at the same I can kind of see their viewpoint. Their focus was on Moon; trying to see if he's still capable.

The Computer was kind of iffy with New Moon at first, though, weren't they? Now that I think about it, their, uh... "sense of humor" only started showing itself after Moon lost his memories. Maybe they were coping with the loss by doing that. I mean, if they were designed to behave like original Moon... that Moon didn't really understand how to show care for others or how to handle emotions, or even think selflessly! (Moon: "Why would you lie to me, Sun?" Sun: *mental breakdown intensifies*)

So... maybe the Computer just acts like a jerk partly due to their programming imitating the old Moon mixing in with their own feelings on losing him. Maybe they're taking their own emotions, that nobody ever asks them about, out on Sun because they blame him for the trouble caused by his mistakes.

They aren't innocent. The Computer still puts Sun down WHEN HE DOESN'T NEED THAT and can act pretty mean (like when they rub salt into a mentally ill person's wounds) and needs to be held accountable for that stuff. But still, they must have their own take on the situation and should be listened to.

Maybe this is a little like the situation where people (including me) started to believe Sun was going to turn evil and that notion was seemingly confirmed after Sun pushed Moon into the portal... and the very next episode we learn that the motive was legit just Sun being a brother without any real malicious intent!

Although, if something does happen featuring the Computer I can also easily see them turn because they're sick of how they get treated. I don't think he'd go to Eclipse, but we have plenty more antagonists.

...

... Dang it why do ALL my responses to anything turn into essays!? XD

Exhausted and anxious post-headache rambles, yay~!

So today's episode of The Sun and Moon Show...

The fact that the computer states that "Miku" has been stalking Sun and Moon every single day of the year... this is the one time that I hope the computer is joking and is just withholding the truth unlike before. Call it denial on my part, but the idea of that being true is legitimately horrifying -- especially because this happens in real life all the freaking time!

The Computer has been rude, but they seem to have become particularly mean to Sun and if they lied just to get under his figurative skin, right after what little self-esteem he had left was STOMPED ON, then they've crossed the line even further than before.

Sun has been picked on enough, for god's sake. Bless New Moon and Earth for being so loving and nurturing to him.

Part of me has been wondering why Computer has been acting like this, though. Is it really just the sarcasm mode thing? Are they sick of being looked down on by the boys? Sun and Moon have kind of treated them like a pseudo-servant piece of tech instead of another AI even before Computer started mouthing off.

Or is it something else? I don't want Computer to become a villain! I mean, if they aren't already doing something like playing a double agent for Eclipse! But at the same time... oftentimes I just get this weird vibe from them. I really hope that this is just a lack-of-communication issue between they and the brothers, or that I'm just imagining things.

(Plus Davis's voice for Computer is just so lovely to listen do and I don't want to lose that. XD)

As for "Miku" herself? Well, I hold a special hope for her.

That hope is this: if she dares to show her face again then she should be ready for her enormous serving of her just desserts.

She's been watching our boys? Then we will be watching for her.

We will all be watching...

I'm glad that this is the only place I go to in order to discuss the show. I can deeply relate to Sun; I've felt useless, helpless, stupid, hated and more. The biggest difference is that I was lucky enough to not be put down so harshly when I was already in the depths.

I'm concerned about Sun every episode, and I'm bracing myself for all of his pain to be unleashed one of these days. The wait has been excruciating; wondering what will finally trigger it. He's so close to the edge, I've been scared that his own mind will convince him to end it each time the next VR episode comes out.

Although, I do have a bit of a rebuttal about Moon's response to Sun's problems. But... I can't talk about it tonight; it's too much right now.

Am I exaggerating whenever I say that Sun will "off" himself?

I see so many signs that the show's plot is going in this direction.. and yet I feel like I'm in minority...

Most people tend to focus more on Eclipse and his issues... Yeah, he needs therapy.. but no one can force him to change. He have to want that even if no one would forgive him or no one would like him. It might be harder to want to change but.. it's important to remember that we should always change for ourselves, for our own mental health etc. Eclipse shouldn't take things for granted because this is where the issue lays...

Anyway.. I didn't want to talk about Eclipse. It irks me that people tend to babify Eclipse and vilify Sun at the same time. I guess someone has to be a villain?/s But it frustrates me that people saw that Eclipse is su*c*dal and didn't see that with Sun! They saw it only when it was explicitely pointed out!

I know people probably like Eclipse more than Sun. If not.. Sun's fans are probably hidden somewhere..?

Anyway.. that's not what I wanted to talk about either.

I wanted to point out some of the signs that show really is going with Sun will "off" himself plot:

despite the obvious fact that Sun truly believes that he made everything worse there are also things like:

Earth's comment about Sun's cat liking her so much - Sun may feel like even his cat doesn't love him;

Earth's comment about her anxiety and lower self-esteem due to feeling unsure if she's helpful enough etc. - Sun may feel the need to support her more and shove away his own problems which will result with him not wanting to open up to Earth to not burden her further;

Moon's obliviousness to Sun's struggles - Sun may feel like no one really cares about him;

Moon's quick dismiss of Sun's idea about what to do with Eclipse - Sun may feel like he's efforts are nothing which alongside with

Moon doing most of the tough, important things - reinforces Sun's feelings of being useless and stupid;

Moon obliviousness to the whole situation with that "fangirl" - Sun may feel like Moon doesn't care about him or that his struggles are completely invisible;

Existence of "fans" like that "fangirl" - Sun said "so you're this type of fan" - did he met more fans like her? I'm assuming that yes, he did. - Sun may feel like fans not only doesn't like him but they hate him and either they want him gone or like seeing him suffer which he knows from comments on YT and Discord;

Being left alone with computer often time because Earth is in her room and Moon is going to do most of things needed to help with Eclipse's and creator's situations - computer's attitude towards Sun may worsen his mental state.

All of those things are so little and so easy to go unnoticed but it doesn't mean that they don't hurt Sun. And it's even worse in Earth's and Moon's cases because Sun knows that they care! How much easier it would be if they didn't... How much easier it would be to let go... But they care! They care.. and yet.. they seem so oblivious to Sun's struggles and suffering. Which only fuels su*c*dal thoughts and feeling of unbearable pain..!

I really wish that Sun won't kill himself.. or even try to... But the signs are there.. and they're painfully obvious... And yet not many people seem to notice that.. or maybe they don't care... ; ;

People only seem to care about other characters. "Where is Lunar?" "Oh no, Moon will sacrifice himself again!" "Eclipse is su*c*dal..." "I want Bloodmoon back!" And also the fact some of the fans left or were saying that show is badly written when show started focusing more on Sun's issues.. doesn't help to shaken off the feeling that people don't like Sun that much...

I know that people can like whoever they want.. but the lack of understanding of Sun's issues is unnerving... I still see that people only focus on Sun's "anger issues" even if it's the least concerning issue of all! It's tiring.. it's just tiring...

Hi,

It’s you friendly neighbor fanfic author here. In the light of this apparent new trend of people feeding unfinished fics to AI to get an “ending,” and some people even talking about “blanket permissions,” let me just say this:

I EXPLICITLY FORBID ANYONE TO FEED MY FICS TO AI. DUDE, THAT IS ABOUT THE LEAST RESPECTFUL THING YOU CAN DO. IF YOU DO IT, SHALL YOU BE EXCOMMUNICATED FROM YOUR FANDOM AND WALK ON LEGOS BAREFOOT TILL THE END OF DAYS.

That is my anti-permission.

Thank you for your attention.

At least they respected rule no 1.
