More Theory Time - Tumblr Posts
I also still think it's crazy that Eclipse V4 used Sun pushing a button / getting SCANNED was the key to him building Solar with half of a soul. (not at that point in the show but saw spoilers on tumblr LMAO)
Not me reading too much into how Eclipse's actual souls are tied to Suns in a special way. Lunar and Moon are connected just like Eclipse and Sun are connected. Like, I feel like tons of evidence is just right there.
I just finished Eclipse's nightmare ep, Sun and Moon first communication, and Sun and Moon meeting Frank in EAPS timeline and yeah.... Eclipse is actually being kind of decent/nice to everyone but Sun. And now we kind of know why, after seeing his nightmare. I think he's ironically afraid of Sun/Suns. Eclipse probably all share a small fear of Sun (not Solar tho) because Sun was every Eclipse's origin and prison.
Eclipse V4's biggest fear is waking up one day not being heard or seen being trapped right back in Sun's body. It's really interesting actually because I never realized that was something he was genuinely afraid of still.
I think EAPs is definitely a slowburn kind of story....but it's sometimes so hard to watch because it's not only slowburn but just written to be so...caustic? Everyone in the series, in my opinion, dog on EAPs Sun the most. Telling him to instantly get over his fear and share with Moon. But it just doesn't work like that and none of them seem to get it. I also get so baffled by the youtube comments siding with the adult characters of EAPS essentially harassing what is a much younger/clearly infantile AI that is still learning to know better.
I think a major reason for Sun's immaturity and rash behaviors in EAPs is Moon was created to be the smart one etc etc, Sun probably has an extremely lacking intelligence chip. He's got so much more to learn then the rest of the cast even realize. Only EAPs Moon understands the extend of how much education and help his Sun needs.
I would also like to once again say EAPs Moon is the sweetest pookie in the world and I love him!!! Sun couldn't even operate a phone to call for help when he was scared. He's got a lot to learn.
At least I can look forward to Solar and Sun interacting more! They're so adorbs! I love them! I also still hold out hope Eclipse will one day understand more about himself and grow as a character and eventually apologize to Sun and Lunar for the harm he caused but it's going to be a long time coming. He would be a lot happier in life if he let go of his negativity but part of that is facing it so-
I'm also biased in my delusions and just want Sun to collect Eclipse's because I think that'd be neat.
It is some very sad fact that if Sun didn't exist in the show, Eclipse would be my favourite. (*꒪ヮ꒪*)
