And It's Wonderful To See This Show Tap Into This Subject Respectfully And Fairly - Tumblr Posts
Oh, he is absolutely suffering! Even if things seem fine from his POV we only get a few minutes a day to see through his eyes in the lore videos. The remainder of the time is behind closed doors, and no one can see his what's happening in Sun's mind except for Sun himself.
So, fictional character or not, people have no right to judge how he's doing -- ESPECIALLY since he can't really be talked to. Saying Sun is "fine" makes me think of someone denouncing somebody else's depression, a mental condition, as being self-pitying. THAT'S NOT HOW THAT WORKS.
The only people with the right to say what's definitely going on is, in this case, the writers.
And OH MY GOSH I HADN'T EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT SUN NOT GRIEVING LUNAR. Oh geez, that's... I don't even know!
Why no one is taking Sun's mental issues seriously?!
Sun changed but at what cost?!
Sun most definitely had psychotic episode during his "going solo after Eclipse" arc.
And people have audacity to say that Sun's "mental state is fine" and showrunners forgot about Bloodmoon's hallucination etc. etc. When in fact it doesn't work like that!
Sun is still suffering. He's still mentally not okay.
And I'll add this here. It doesn't matter that Sun knows that Lunar may be alive when he didn't properly grieve after Lunar's death. Because all those repressed emotions will come back. No matter Lunar being dead or alive! Heck, Lunar could even come back to the Daycare and Sun still will experience the aftermath of repressed grief.
I'll say this once again. I really appreciate the work Davis and Reed are putting into depiction of various mental issues in the show! Sun's mental issues are portrayed pretty much accurately imo. So thank you guys for treating various mental issues with respect. I love this show!
