Repost from tiktok, because I think it fits tumblr better

Couldn't fit the rest in one post💔

[shouldtheydivorce]

Reason:

Cairngorm deserves better. And I think it would’ve been an interesting plot point if they divorced for whatever reason.

houseki no kuni spoilers ahead

aechmea and eyes:

he replaced one of phos’ eyes with a pearly lunarian one

he removed the quartz from cairngorm’s eyes

aechmea told phos the eye would let him see what they see and keep track of them. that eye of phos is their lunarian part (spirit), much like their agate legs being their admiriablis part (flesh), and then of course their original gem body (bone). aechmea has been watching phos for hundreds of years, orchestrating their entire descent and forcing them to turn into a new prayer machine.

i believe the quartz in cairngorm’s eyes wasn’t meant to be removed. cairngorm and ghost quartz genuinely cared for phos, but as they descended further and further, so did cairngorm’s grief and fear. watching the person you care about the most slowly lose themself would mentally fuck anyone, which was something aechmea took advantage of. the moon warps the psyche of them (see: phos, yellow diamond, alexandrite), making them weak and open to manipulation. aechmea literally removed cairngorm’s love for phos as well has his cool-headed personality and intelligence. aechmea always plays the long game and he specifically ordered the destruction of ghost quartz so cairngorm would be available to him. he even kept ghost’s body preserved on the moon. aechmea targeted cairngorm just as he targeted phos, and exerted the same control over them with their eyes.

aechmea controls the 2 most important gems to his plans through their eyes (phos as a tool and cairngorm as an object of affection)

also rip yellow diamond i’m sorry the moon gave you a mental breakdown you’ll never recover from

People who like Houseki no Kuni / Land of the Lustrous, answer this post with what you like the most about the manga + one criticism you have about it!

[marisramblings]

I don’t think Phos manipulated anyone

(Here me out) whole manga spoilers

I am (probably) autistic and the way I think is often different than the average person. There are many social norms I miss, and attempts at manipulation fail to work on me because I am easily confused. Mind you, I mean manipulation like a lazy customer wanting me to do work that isn’t my job. I just reread Phos trying to get the gems to go to the moon and I still don’t see manipulation. The characters call it manipulation, Phos even calls it manipulation, but I don’t think it was.

I am contrarian and I will argue for perspectives I disagree with, but I genuinely don’t know why Phos’ behavior is seen as manipulative.

Phos doesn’t lie beside claiming total amnesia when they first return and the dusting of their comrades. That is as much manipulation as I can give to the story. They tell Rutile about the artificial gems on the moon that could help papda. Dia just outright says she wants to go and Benito is genuinely curious. Phos tells Cinnabar the full truth.

Euc claims that the manipulation is Phos taking no stance for or against the moon but letting others draw their own conclusions. That..is…it’s more fair than Phos should be. She could’ve lied and made the moon seem amazing, but they didn’t.

I’m not saying Phos is a paragon of good or something- I disagreed with her negative view of sensei and I absolutely understand why the gems shattered her on their second to last return from the moon—but she was honest. He could’ve told everyone the same info at once but he also didn’t have to? Bort’s already pig-headed, Euc errs too much on the side of caution…it’s understandable to try and win over a few people first.

Phos asks adamant if he is a tool for the humans and he confirms it. To phos, sensei is just a broken machine that endangers their lives. The gems’ enemy wants to die. Phos doesn’t trust the lunarians but seeks to use them to save her people.

Sure, phos could’ve mentioned going back to the moon, but I can see their concern over being stopped. I wish Euc had talked to Phos at some point, so much could’ve been different if they had spoken..but I digress.

This isn’t me going on the Phos defense, I love my baby and all their fuck ups, I just truly don’t see the manipulation here. Kind of shady? Sure? The worst thing was lying about what happened to their comrades. While they are suspicious of the lunarians, Phos is still too willing to confirm their biases, hence why assmunch can manipulate her.

Finally, Phos was right to take Padparadscha. Rutile, wtf???

[mieowkoid09]

Do what you will with this parallel

I can now tell why Phos was so jealous of Welegato and Aechmea's relationship. Adamant couldnt even tell Phos that he was worried about them
