Honestly I Hope He Can Have A Redemption Arc - Tumblr Posts
it breaks my heart how everyone in this fandom is so happy to forgive and forget terrible things old moon, eclipse, bloodmoon, ruin, puppet, monty, literally everyone else has done, but nexus is where they draw the line at the possibility of being 'redeemed'.
like, bloodmoon killin people? meh, whatever. ruin destroying 5000+ dimensions? he was doing it for the greater good, he can still be redeemed! eclipse terrorizing and trying to kill sun and moon over and over? well he's making an effort now and the way he was treated was bad, so it's all okay. old moon treating sun the way he did for so long? he's had time to think and is doing better now, he's a good guy!
but nexus- nope. almost killed earth as collateral damage (like he wasn't even aiming for her at all) so he is just an evil guy now and can't ever be helped.
like, dude was so happy in the beginning until all the expectations of being like old moon but better were shoved onto him. he did so much to make sure everyone was happy and safe, even tried to forgive and forget with ruin, only for ruin to have been lying the whole time. then he looses solar, tries everything to get him back, finds out the one way to do that but can't, goes into his head to talk to old moon who basically tells him to die for his family to keep them happy, goes back to trying to get solar back by killing blood moon who has done pretty much nothing but cause problems, but then everyone is like, 'yknow, the best thing do do right now would be to just lock him up!'. then sun comes along and tells the computer to just fuckin shock him if he uses star power, monty come by too and says he's gonna talk to old moon, nexus is like 'no, i refuse' and monty actually shocks him into unconsciousness anyways to do it. puppet and monty want to bring old moon back, which would basically get rid of nexus, but i guess they think when they kill its 'justified enough' (but nexus trying to bring back solar isn't justified to them for some reason). then nexus finally snaps and goes to get bloodmoon, puppet gets him first, and then they send nexus to space. he joins dark sun who acually treats him like his own person, starts using negative starpower which is very very harmful to him, and he has a new look now to show that he is in fact not just a different version of the old moon and is his own person.
but yes, he's' just going through a stupid emo phase hahaha.
