I've come to a realization, and decided, to ramble again!
Fair warning, it might get a little out of focus?
I have a lot to say, but I'm trying to make it understandable-
So:
Lunar is in the belief, that they are still on Eclipse's strings.
And the tragic truth is, they are right.
Just not in the way they thought.
Looking back on Eclipse's death, knowing everything we do, Lunar, logically, was in control of the situation.
They have the powers, and Eclipse has nothing.
Even though he thought, he might "rip the stars out", he was fully aware, that he was weak.
He had to rely on the control he already held over Lunar's head.
And in a way, it worked.
The control Eclipse has is the reaction.
Eclipse makes Lunar react.
It is something that I've noticed from the beginning, even before Lunar's death.
Eclipse bites, sinking sharp teeth into people's throats with his words.
But Lunar and him aren't so different.
Because Lunar bites back.
Eclipse has the natural ability to make them aggressive.
Everytime he wrongs them, everytime he bites and claws, Lunar will bite back.
He has the ability to make them snap.
Lunar's reaction to Eclipse is to counter, to growl, to fight back.
Something that they might have gotten from Eclipse himself, or maybe old Moon, and even Bloodmoon.
The only difference?
Before, they would know their limit.
Before, there was a limit.
But now they have powers, now they have the ability to fight them physically, no longer held back.
So they don't hold back.
On my first few watch throughs, Eclipse seemed to have complete control of the situation, even though, logically, it was Lunar.
But the reason is Lunar.
We see it through their perspective.
Lunar didn't feel in control, because Eclipse knew exactly which buttons to push.
Making them feel smaller,
calling them old names, making fun of them, making them feel unheard by checking his nails when they were talking.
He made them react, made them use their powers.
Of course, it wasn't quite planned like this, but to be honest?
I think Eclipse got exactly what he wanted.
Because he didn't seem upset, not even fearful!
He was cackling and out of breath, sounding amused, maybe even delighted.
Maybe it's the realization that he's still in control.
Maybe it's the realization, that Lunar still feels so strongly about him.
Or maybe he's finding satisfaction in knowing, that they are not so different after all.
That he still managed to mold Lunar into an image similar to him.
And even though Lunar felt relief, they only spun themselves deeper into their puppet strings by doing so.
Because their teeth are dull.
Eclipse's are sharp, because of how much Lunar truly cares.
A part of the reason for their anger was the realization, that Eclipse didnt change.
He didn't feel remorse.
He acted the exact same.
Lunar, deep within, hoped for him to care, to love them, even if he never showed it.
And their reunion proved them wrong, showed them that Eclipse truly doesn't care about them.
To him, they have always been a tool, and they are even now.
They wanted their brother to love them.
It's all they ever wanted, from the moment they gained consciousness.
And so their affection turns into a familiar anger.
The anger, that tries to get a reaction out of him.
Something to prove, that there is something more inside of him.
They want to hurt him, just like how he hurt them.
But their teeth are dull.
Because Eclipse doesn't care enough, doesn't value them.
Their words leave him unaffected, for he doesn't care what they have to say, what pain he caused them.
So anger turns into rage, which turns into hatred, as that little spark of hope dies out, focusing on familiar rage instead.
It is easier than the mess in their mind anyways.
Interestingly enough, this whole time, Earth is completely ignored.
She's present, but neither of the brothers acknowledge her.
Lunar is tunnel-visioning onto Eclipse, reinforcing once more, how much control he holds over them.
It is, in all senses, a tragedy.
-Stardust
NOOOOOOOOO OH MY GHOD STOP YOU'RE LITERALLY RIGHT FUCK EVERYTHING FOREVERRRRRR
HE WILL ALWAYS HAVE CONTROL OVER LUNAR AS LONG AS THEY LET THEIR RAGE ABOUT HIM CONSUME THEM WHOLE. THEY CANNOT PIERCE SKIN THAT DOES NOT CARE FOR THEIR BITE AAUAGAHGHGHHHH!!!!!!!!!
