Tsbs Eclipse - Tumblr Posts
EEEEE!!!
I love it!
I hope Nexus gets a good ending too he's just a baby (not meant to be derogatory he's literally just little). I really hope it turns out he's being corrupted or manipulated by a virus in some way because everyone (mostly the enemies in tsams so I don't trust them) paints this picture that every Moon is destined to go insane and hurt their family but like Nexus/New Moon literally didn't seem to have a single mean bone in his body.
It's not the same case with OM where we see aggression and violence is his immediate go to.
When he first woke up he was just excited to be here. Excited to meet Sun and Earth. He actually was curious about Eclipse when he showed up but when Eclipse just started laying into Sun he defended him!
I think actions speak so much louder than words. Nexus himself hasn't taken any real villainous actions. Yes he's tortured OM (haven't seen it yet but very excited for the angst) but that's the extent of his intended harm.
I'm going to be honest, he has a lot of reasons to hate OM.
Then when you weigh in the fact the only harm he caused outside of his OM hatred was accidentally burning earth. I still think that was entirely an accident. I think Nexus was trying to bluff and act big and scary. He fired the star power but up until then we never were given evidence, the characters and us the audience, that star power can cause radiation burns.
I still fully believe when Puppet showed up and intervened, her blocking the star power is what actually caused the star power to spread and burn Earth.
Other than that, I got nothing. Nexus you can't die until I'm caught up.
Actually I do have one think to add.
So I remember a trend where people compared Eclipse to Sun, saying how similar they can be. But honestly, I see a lot more shared behavior between V1 & V2 Eclipse with Nexus.
While angry and hurt by OM they both lash out in a way that sort of recreates the torture that Sun through. I don't know if it's intentional but it's definitely interesting.
Eclipse V1 trapped OM in a way where when Lunar moved it caused him the exact same pain he put Sun through for 5 years. He unironically made Moon see more things from Sun's perspective.
Nexus recently mentally tortured OM with mental stuff and Sun is also similarly being tortured in his sleep mentally and for most of his life he was tortured by the deaths of kids he failed to protect. Nexus basically has OM take a taste of the Sun sauce.
Eclipse V2 had the star and all the power at his fingertips but basically wasted away until he found a purpose for himself until it was too late and he died. (Solar flare please come back).
Nexus also now has all this evil power at his fingertips and we haven't seen him do anything with it except flaunt it around. He too could bend reality or do major harm and so far he's just been this overly dramatic kid larping what he thinks is a villain. Similarly to v2 Eclipse who basically just acted like a villain because he thought he had to be due to him being a clone.
Hopefully Nexus isn't just like Eclipse V2... But it would be extremely poetic irony if the first ever threat he dealt with and defeated is the final destination of his own story.
It's now almost midnight good night and rest well!
I'm sorry but "MY BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS WITH A DISORDER<3" really made my day and I needed you to know
🤣🤣🤣
I can't believe Nexus is bullying peepaw war criminal.
Do you think Nexus is going to be stopped by big bro Sun or do you think the lil guy is going beyond the point of no return?
(Please talk about baby cringe Lord Nexus, I want to hear about your blorbo 🙏)
That's because Nexus IS my beautiful princess with a disorder, I'll have you know <3 they're diseased but it's okay I can give them their tetanus and flu shots and it'll all be better I GOT THIS
But. ahem, okay, blorbo yapping time. I'm not even gonna say "I'll try to keep this short" because I know it wont end up that way HAHAHAHAHA
"Do you think Nexus is going to be stopped by big bro Sun or do you think the lil guy is going beyond the point of no return?"
I... have absolutely no idea!!!1! (and also it took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to realize peepaw war criminal was Ruin KJDFHSDF)
The most frustrating thing about canon Nexus is how his morals, motivations, and goals seem to see-saw back and forth all the time. at first, he became how he is now due to Solar's death. he spiraled in his grief, identity-issues, and abandonment. but... now his motivation is to become an all powerful god??? while it's most likely that NSP is at play and affecting his thought process, it's... well, it's really hard to take him seriously as a villain because of it, lol. for an audience to enjoy, and even sympathize in some cases, with a villain, their goals and motivations have to be concrete. they have to be relatable, or at least understandable, but Nexus' whole thing is... not, Imho. and I know I'm not the only person who feels this way!!!
I see a lot of people calling Nexus "cringe", and the thing is, when it comes to canon Nexus, they're not really... wrong??? The worst thing Nexus has done so far is make Old Moon see his past victims, which is fucked up of him to do, but.. so far, that's kind of it??? other than that, his "villainy" consists of saying empty threats and cheesy evil one-liners. hell, he was supposed to kidnap Sun yesterday but instead spent the whole episode yapping and venting to him, chasing Sun around in the worlds darkest game of tag before getting some lead right in the face dkfjhsdfsd
Also, notice how he's only targeted Old Moon when it comes to actual physical violence? not Lunar, Earth, Solar, or Sun, but Old Moon? yeah, I did too. we already know that Nexus does everything because he's lashing out, but as of rn the only target he's gotten his hands on physically being O.M...? well. I think it says a lot. cause' yeah, he sure as shit scared the life out of the other Celestials, but he's never put his hands on them!! the only other one of them he harmed physically was Earth- and not only was he not aiming for her, she was just in the way- he felt immediate regret for his actions once in space, and has yet to even see Earth ever since that day.
So, I really have no idea if he's going to be "redeemed" or not. one second he's showing signs he might be, and the next he's falling further down the "pretty badly written villain" rabbit-hole. if he does get something akin to a redemption arc, he'll prolly mostly be accepted in the eyes of the viewers, considering a lot of peeps sympathize or at least understand where he's coming from, but I seriously doubt the other Celestials would take him back. the only one's who might see him as family/a close friend again are Sun and Solar, but even then, nothing would ever be the same.
I hope he gets redeemed, or at least freed from the hold Dark Sun has on him and he's able to live his own life, I really do. at his core, Nexus is a good person. a good person who was crushed under the weight of the shadow of the man he was born under. and we know this because he used to be New Moon. sweet, dorky New Moon.
New Moon, who made inventions like sentient knives and whoopee cushions. New Moon, who had matching My Little Pony stickers with his best friend. New Moon, who bought a whole ass island-luxury-house for Sun because he wanted to make him feel better and give him the proper space to heal. and New Moon- the poor freshly-baked A.I who gave his all to make sure he could do everything that Old Moon could, but it just wasn't enough. he tried and tried and tried, but it wasn't enough.
So yeah, idk if he's getting one in canon, but to me, he more than deserves a good ending, for the life he was given. let him be at peace.
