Room Rescue: Basics of Roomkeeping*

*As opposed to housekeeping.

I was talking with someone I know about the basic things that make a room feel better for the least amount of know how and effort. I told them I'd do a write up of my advice so they could refer back to it. I hope it's helpful to some others as well.

Who This Is/Isn't For

This isn't for the folks who already have pretty organized and clean spaces - I am not one of you, I can only admire from afar. This isn't for the folks who don't yet have clear walkways to their bed, bathroom, food, and exit. Been there, you have my love.

This is with a bedroom in mind. This works best if you've got 10-20 minutes a day you can work on it. This works best for people who have already done some decluttering done though maybe not quite as much as they need. This works better in smaller spaces than larger spaces. This is for those people who keep piling up stuff and don't know what to do with it.

Zoning

Your room needs zones. I like try to have the zones the CPG Grey talked about in his Spaceship You video:

Couch/Lounge

Bed/Sleep

Work/Creative

Movement/Exercise

In very smell rooms, some of these around going to overlap and that's fine, just so long as you know where each of them is. Movement for many people is going to be an outside zone and that's fine.

Once you've established these zones, only stuff that belongs with that zone's focus can stay in that zone.

You will pretty quickly come across lots of stuff that doesn't fit neatly into your zones yet. Either you don't have the storage for it yet or you're not quite sure if you're going to keep it long term. That's fine. This is where the support zones come in handy.

Trash

Laundry

Staging/Take Out

DOOM (Didn't Organize Only Moved)

It's my personal opinion that trash and laundry should be in containers with lids/bags that zip closed. If that genuinely doesn't work for you don't listen to me. The pro of this is that when it's contained like that it feels like less of a task/there's less visual clutter and it's less stressful to see them.

Staging/Take Out zone is for things you want to take out of the room when you get up. They should wither be close to the door or close to where you put that stuff down anyways.

DOOM (Didn't Organize Only Moved) zone is for all the boxes, bags, random pile of crap that do not currently have a place. The ideal place for this zone is the least visible spot from the door. I recommend this because how you enter the room determines a lot of how you feel about it. Stick anything that doesn't yet have a place here. Use boxes, pile high.

From there, you can dedicate 15-20 minutes a day to tidying first, then using the leftover time to improve the space.

Tidying

I like the Five Things Tidying method from KC Davis. Everything in your room falls into one of five categories:

Trash

Dishes

Laundry

Things that Have a Place

Things that Don't Have a Place

Start at the top and work your way down. Don't get through the whole list in 15-20 minutes? Just get as far as you can and come back tomorrow. Things that don't have a place can go in your DOOM Pile. If all you can manage if 5 minutes, that's great. Do what you can.

If you miss a day, no big. Shoot for more days out of a week than not and your space will steadily get cleaner.

Improving

If you have time leftover after tidying each day, I recommend doing some of the following:

Decluttering your DOOM pile/establishing object homes

Clearing horizontal surfaces

Decorating/hang up mementos

Physical cleaning

You will always have some sort of DOOM or Miscellaneous Pile/Box. I don't know of a single sane person in my life who doesn't. The goal is to get it to something manageable for you. Maybe it's a section of your closet, maybe it's a box under your bed - whatever ultimately strikes that balance between the stuff you want to fit there and the space you want for everything else you do in your room. Which is to say periodically going through DOOM piles is not a sign of failure, it's a normal chore. For decluttering, I highly recommend Dana K. Whites No-Mess Decluttering Method.

Clearing horizontal surfaces is s constant battle in my experience. They love to collect things. The only things that should be on surfaces are things that you have decided go there. Have a lot of items? Group them into bags and boxes so they can be moves more easily. Leave the tops furniture for decor and lighting and, in the case of desks and bedside tables, a well curated selection of favorites. These selections will need updated and rotated through when you're in different seasons of life. It's not shameful, it's a normal chore.

Decorating is a vital part of living in a space. I will die on that hill. You can add as much or as little as you like but some personalization is so key for mental health. Take a little time here and there to put up pictures of loved ones, cards or other ephemera that make you happy. Put up lamps that help you see better and works of art that inspire you. It's also a chore.

Physical cleaning. The main cleaning that needs done in a bedroom is dusting and vacuuming. Honestly if you're starting from scratch, once a month is often plenty to start with. Clean up spills as they happen. Take out trash when it's full. Do your laundry as needed. Refill tissues and such when you run out. Most of cleaning is responding to events and your own needs.

Conclusion

I hope this gives someone some ideas on how to improve their room a little so it's a more pleasant space to be in. This won't result in like a pinterest level room but it strkes that balance between neat and easy to care for in my experience.

Take what's useful and leave the rest!

Eclipse Character Analysis (Sun and Moon Show)

Alternate Title: Why I'm 95% sure Eclipse is a sociopath EDITED TITLE: An Analysis of how Eclipse's ASPD is reflected in his character

A hopefully unnecessary disclaimer: - One, hi, hello I am a sociopath, I do know what I'm talking about. This also means that a lot of what I notice and will describe about Eclipse are similar or the same as my own experiences living life in this mortal realm. What I will touch on in the "redemption" section is heavily based on the kind of intensive treatment I had to get in order to improve my behavior when I was younger, so it's important to note that while Eclipse will never be able to change his personality (like how I can't change mine, and you can't change yours), he can change his thought patterns, mentality, and behavior. The saying that "sociopaths can't change" is specifically talking about how we can't change our personality, which is true for everyone. That doesn't mean we can't learn to function better in civilized society or be taught emotional awareness and morals. - Two, hi, hello this is just what I've noticed and does not mean it's canon unless Reed or Davis themselves come onto my Tumblr and go "Yes, this, this is what is correct", and even then, you're allowed to have your own opinions and views on these characters. I'm just theorizing here EDIT: Reed and Davis confirmed that Eclipse is indeed a sociopath a day after I posted this here, and a week after my initial post in their server that is basically this but slightly messier. - Three, hi, hello I'm also a psychology student so I also know what I'm talking about in that regard too. I've been studying psychology and general medicine for three and a half years now, so I like to think I have some idea of what I'm talking about - Four, I use the terms sociopath, ASPD, sociopathic disorder, and anti-social personality disorder interchangeably since they all describe the same personality disorder - Five, this analysis is long, I cover the basics, an in depth, some potential scenarios, a redemption arc possibility, and some other thoughts I have about him. - Six, I made this disclaimer to address any potential misunderstandings, or harmful stereotypes that I tend to be confronted with any time I talk about ASPD. Now onto the good stuff!

Too Long; Won't Read - Here's a Summary

Attachment and Pride: Eclipse initially cared about Lunar, and his reaction to Lunar leaving suggests a fragile pride. His inability to connect with others is evident in his strained relationships with KC and Bloodmoon.

Masking Emotions: Eclipse keeps his darker thoughts to himself at the beginning, and throughout the show as well. He masks both his emotions, and his intentions throughout the show, and is careful not to show when people have upset or offended him. This behavior stems from a learned experience that letting his guard down leads to resentment.

Manipulation and Brash Communication: Eclipse is straightforward and brash when expressing thoughts, feelings, or opinions. He employs manipulation when needed but is mostly disinterested in others.

Boredom and Stimulation: He seeks reactions from people, often causing chaos for entertainment. Boredom, especially when stuck as an AI, prompts him to instigate situations for amusement.

Lack of Empathy: He also appears to lack empathy, as evidenced by his inability to understand emotions and his focus on getting reactions rather than connecting with others.

Touch Aversion: Eclipse's lack of physical affection aligns with the common aversion to touch seen in individuals with ASPD.

Remorse and Growth: Eclipse shows remorse only in instances where he hurts Lunar in the beginning of the show, indicating a potential area for growth. A redemption arc could explore his struggles without completely erasing his apparent sociopathic nature.

Writer's note: A thoughtful portrayal of Eclipse's sociopathy, should my theory touch on the truth, if continued in a storyline, could provide an authentic exploration of mental health challenges and personal growth. Care should be taken to avoid stereotypes (DON'T USE GOOGLE FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THIS I BEG)

Putting Him Under a Microscope - Full Analysis

1. Attachment and Pride:

Eclipse's initial connection with Lunar suggests a potential attachment, a notable aspect in individuals with ASPD who can form (highly) selective bonds. However, Lunar's departure significantly impacts Eclipse's pride. This reaction aligns with the fragile self-esteem often observed in those with ASPD. The departure becomes a perceived personal betrayal, triggering Eclipse's defensive response.

In individuals with ASPD, relationships often serve specific purposes, and Eclipse's attachment to Lunar may have been driven by a combination of genuine connection but also very clearly the utility Lunar provided in fulfilling certain needs or desires. (Which was helping Eclipse get the star of course)

Moreover, Eclipse's struggle with connecting to others, evident in strained relationships with KC and Bloodmoon, is a characteristic of ASPD. Individuals with this disorder often face challenges in forming and maintaining meaningful relationships due to their limited capacity for empathy and understanding of emotional nuances.

2. Masking Emotions:

Eclipse's tendency to keep darker thoughts to himself reflects a common coping mechanism associated with ASPD. Individuals with this disorder often learn to conceal their true emotions early on due to negative experiences when expressing genuine feelings. This learned behavior serves as a protective measure against potential backlash or social rejection.

The fear of vulnerability and subsequent consequences aligns with the interpersonal difficulties faced by those with ASPD. Eclipse's decision to hide his less socially acceptable thoughts is a strategic choice aimed at avoiding conflict and maintaining control over his image.

Professionally, the concealment of darker thoughts is recognized as a defense mechanism in individuals with ASPD. This protective facade, or 'mask,' becomes an integral part of their social interactions, allowing them to navigate social situations with greater ease. However, this constant need to mask one's true feelings can contribute to internal struggles and further isolate individuals with ASPD from genuine emotional connections.

One may ask, what 'darker thoughts' did Eclipse show, or receive backlash for? Well, let's see, when he was stuck in Sun for the beginning of his life, he was first confused, a bit scared, and completely disoriented. He was forgotten, and during the first parts we can see him trying to reconnect with Moon, however, his delivery, as individuals with ASPD tend to do, was brash. It didn't sugar coat what he wanted, and considering his earlier transgressions previously, they weren't taken well in the slightest. Instead of Moon trying to genuinely talk and explain, all he provided Eclipse with was "I changed, and you didn't." and in general was very annoyed and irate with Eclipse. There were several times during the beginning of Eclipse, where there could have been progress made with him, to help him work through his issues, his internalized fear of being forgotten again, and the accidental neglect, that just… didn't happen. Because Sun and Moon saw him as a virus.

Moon because Moon saw himself as a virus, so what else would he think of something that originated in his code, and acted like he used to? Acted like he still sometimes did, parts of himself that he didn't like about himself, living and breathing once again in the mind of his brother. Corrupting him.

And of course, Sun because he was just so tired and hurt and he finally thought he could have something only for this ball of code to make itself known? This peice of his brother that was left behind, that was formed from Moon's killcode? That was constructed from Moon's literal need to lash out, hurt others, and kill. I'm honestly a little horrified that this is never touched on in the show, because people aren't just born to be awful, that's not how this works. There were so many opportunities where toxic and awful behavior could have been stopped if it was handled properly.

Of course, I'm not blaming Sun and Moon. It's hard to help someone who doesn't understand they need help, and as a result the person won't want help either. Plus, they've said it themselves in the episodes where Lunar had returned from the dead. They were never programmed to understand mental health issues, and they have a hard enough time grasping the concepts of their own mental health issues to deal with other peoples. Especially other people who are actively hurting them, it's hard to feel sympathy for someone who causes you harm as far as I'm aware. (I personally wouldn't know)

But back to my main point, there absolutely were times in the beginning where Eclipse was just honest about his wants and desires, and was shown disgust and hatred for it. Which would absolutely make him be prone to masking, which he does a lot in the show from what I can tell.

3. Manipulation and Brash Communication:

Eclipse's communication style, characterized by being brash and straightforward, aligns with the speech patterns and tendencies often associated with ASPD. When he's not trying to pull a fast one over someone, he's very blunt, and he doesn't beat around the bush. Individuals with this disorder may utilize manipulation as a means to achieve personal goals or navigate social situations, but without a reason to sugar coat, they won't. Although sometimes not sugar coating is also employed as a manipulation tactic, which makes it tricky navigating conversation at times with sociopaths. Eclipse's lack of hesitation in employing manipulation reflects the calculated nature of his interactions, as we see him smoothly switch between fronts, acts he puts on to get people to agree with him.

His disinterest in others, apart from exploiting them for personal gain, is consistent with the self-serving behaviors commonly observed in sociopaths. The use of manipulation as a tool for control and amusement is a manifestation of the disorder's impact on interpersonal dynamics. When he contacts Moon for help with Killcode, even then he has his own motives that are only helped by Moon being distracted with Killcode, as well as having KC out of the picture.

Professionally, manipulation is recognized as a prominent feature of ASPD. Individuals with this disorder may lack the ability to form genuine emotional connections and, instead, view relationships as transactional opportunities. Eclipse's interactions, particularly with Sun and Moon, exemplify this transactional approach, where he derives amusement from creating chaos. This last bit (amusment) is important, and I'll cover it next.

Before I pop on over, this is where I'd like to touch on Servant Eclipse. He is very crafty, and very manipulative, but it doesn't fool Lunar, who he clearly cares about to some degree. (Again, will say it as many times as needed, people with ASPD can care about people, it's just a lot of effort at first, doesn't come naturally, and is reserved for a select few). Lunar in this reality probably knows Eclipse inside and out, and isn't fooled by the not very convincing "I'm just a husk now" act Eclipse is playing out with. I suspect that Eclipse also is aware the Lunar isn't fooled, but it amuses him to some degree to keep up the game. I can only imagine serving a "Lord Lunar" is a fairly excitable life, and it's unlikely he's extensively bored. He's also just as brash as the OG Eclipse, and doesn't sugar coat the truth, or tries to ease Gregory into topics.

4. Boredom and Stimulation:

Eclipse's constant quest for stimulation and amusement, even at the expense of creating chaos, reflects a key characteristic of individuals with ASPD. Boredom intolerance is common in this population, leading to a perpetual need for excitement and novel experiences. (Can speak from experience, I spend about 4-6 hours every day bored out of my freaking mind and it's absolutely torture - which is why I draw so much)

The portrayal of Eclipse as being "bored out of his mind" when stuck as an AI in KC's base underscores the challenge individuals with ASPD face in mundane or monotonous situations. The need for stimulation is a driving force behind their impulsive and sometimes risky behaviors. There's a certain kind of restlessness, and impulsivity associated with ASPD, very much an act before you think, get defensive when confronted, and maybe think about it two days later on the very small chance it triggers a sense of morals/remorse. (Then probably forget it happened, cause we are very good at not caring enough to remember half the stuff we do. This isn't a choice, by the way, people with sociopathic disorder just aren't wired to feel strong emotions like guilt and shame.)

Professionally, this behavior aligns with the clinical understanding of ASPD. Individuals with the disorder often engage in sensation-seeking activities to counteract feelings of boredom and emotional emptiness. Eclipse's enjoyment in hacking Moon's computer, causing reactions from Moon and Lunar, serves as an outlet for his need for stimulation and disruption, as well as fulfills other purposes in starting a conversation with Moon about KC.

And of course, now I get to touch on my two favorite things that just drill this in. When OG Eclipse gets the star… what does he do? He torments Sun and Moon instead of wiping everything away, and I'm aware this is mostly because he doens't have mastery over the star. But what does Sun say, when Eclipse shows up to torment them on top of the play structure. Something along the lines of, You're just bored at this point? Is that it?

And what does Eclipse do? He leaves. Because Sun is absolutely right, and it probably stings his ego to have someone he so fully has convinced himself of hating to be right about him. Even before he gets the star… just how much effort did he really put into getting the star? Sure, he had this big plan, but I think he was aware that the 'perfect world' would never make him happy to start with; he just felt the need to be something larger than life, so of course you must set the largest goals to achieve in order to be that. He could have gotten the star so much faster lets be honest. I fully believe he was just having too much fun messing with Sun and Moon, because it gave a reaction, and the reactions to his actions were exciting, breaking his boredom. He was bored a lot, stuck in Sun's head, stuck in Sun's body and pretending to be Sun, stuck as an AI, stuck with Solar Flare's AI fighting him, stuck being unable to use the star…….. seeing a pattern yet?

And of course, my second favorite thing. Lord Eclipse. Moon full out calls him out on how bored Eclipse is, and Eclipse first tries to deny it, then sees no tactical advantage to denying it, and admits that yeah, he is bored. He's been bored for ages and Moon is the first exciting thing in what feels like forever. He's not happy in his perfect world, but he isn't going to change is because that would cut his pride for Sun and Moon to be right about what he wants and needs after so many years. So many years of his Moon being dead. Of having Sun as an obedient servant, bound to his beck and call. He's bored, and it shows, and he knows that it shows.

5. Lack of Empathy:

Eclipse's consistent inability to understand and empathize with the emotions of others aligns with a central feature of Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD). Individuals with ASPD often struggle with recognizing and comprehending the feelings of those around them.

His focus on getting reactions rather than forming genuine connections reflects the hallmark trait of lacking empathy. Eclipse's interactions with Sun, Moon, and Lunar highlight his detached and indifferent approach, as he manipulates situations purely for personal amusement without regard for the emotional impact on others.

Professionally, the deficit in empathy is a well-documented aspect of ASPD. Those with the disorder may comprehend others' situations on a cognitive level but struggle to grasp the emotional nuances involved. Eclipse's inability to understand why Lunar is upset and his constant pursuit of reactions underscore the emotional disconnect inherent in individuals with ASPD.

Eclipse's interactions with Lunar provide a poignant illustration of his consistent lack of empathy. Despite a seemingly genuine attachment to Lunar in the beginning, Eclipse's emotional disconnect becomes evident as Lunar leaves. The impact of Lunar's departure on Eclipse's pride and subsequent defensive reaction highlights the absence of genuine understanding of Lunar's emotions. Eclipse struggles to comprehend the significance of Lunar's departure beyond a perceived personal betrayal, showcasing a lack of empathy toward Lunar's perspective.

Moreover, Eclipse's manipulation and attempts to provoke reactions from Lunar, even after Lunar has left, underscore his disregard for the emotional toll on Lunar. This behavior aligns with the typical patterns seen in individuals with ASPD, where the pursuit of personal amusement takes precedence over the emotional well-being of others.

Eclipse's inability to process and acknowledge his own damaged ego resulting from Lunar's departure further emphasizes his lack of emothional understanding. He doesn't want to admit that Lunar hurt him, so instead he just continues to shut it down, bottle it up, and let it churn into hatred instead of looking at what he did wrong. His resentment and refusal to acknowledge the emotional impact on Lunar highlight the emotional blindness inherent in individuals with ASPD, especially in the context of complex interpersonal relationships.

6. Touch Aversion:

Eclipse's noticeable lack of physical affection, as both seen throughout the show, and mentioned when Lunar clings to Sun and states that Eclipse never showed him physical affection, aligns with a common trait among individuals with ASPD. Touch aversion is a characteristic feature, as those with the disorder often lack the intrinsic desire for physical closeness or intimacy.

Eclipse's minimal physical interaction, even in what could be perceived as emotionally charged moments, is consistent with the general pattern observed in individuals with ASPD. The absence of hugging or comforting gestures suggests a limited appreciation for the emotional needs of others.

Professionally, touch aversion is recognized as part of the interpersonal challenges associated with ASPD. Individuals with this disorder may not instinctively seek physical connection unless it serves a specific purpose, such as manipulation or personal gain. Eclipse's avoidance of physical affection adds a layer to his character, illustrating how his interpersonal behaviors align with the clinical understanding of ASPD.

This aspect of Eclipse's character contributes to a nuanced portrayal of the disorder, showcasing how the lack of tactile expression can impact the dynamics of his relationships, particularly in situations where emotional support is expected. (Like seriously, even Sun and Moon hug when one of them are having an awful day, but Eclipse? He literally doesn't seem to understand why Lunar craves positive physical touch so bad, because he just… doesn't feel the need himself. You can never fully understand something you experience, and it's not like people were explaining these basic needs and wants to Eclipse… ever.)

7. Remorse and Growth:

Eclipse's occasional display of remorse, particularly in instances where he has harmed Lunar, offers a glimpse into a facet of his character that deviates from the (BAD DOWNRIGHT AWFUL) stereotypical image associated with ASPD. While individuals with ASPD are often poorly and harmfully characterized/stereotyped by a complete lack of guilt or remorse, Eclipse's moments of internal conflict suggest a degree of emotional complexity.

Professionally, the intermittent remorse aligns with the recognition that individuals with ASPD may experience moments of internal conflict, especially in relationships that hold personal significance. Eclipse's struggle with whether to apologize after hitting Lunar reveals a brief internal debate, questioning the severity of his actions against Lunar's emotional response.

However, Eclipse's ultimate decision not to apologize, driven by his failure to perceive the significance of Lunar's distress, reinforces the inherent challenges in navigating emotional landscapes for those with ASPD. This internal conflict and eventual dismissal of remorse contribute to a more realistic portrayal of the disorder, highlighting the ongoing tension between impulsive actions and moments of potential introspection.

Should Eclipse undergo a redemption arc, these moments of internal conflict could serve as a foundation for growth, illustrating that while individuals with ASPD may grapple with moments of remorse, their ability to sustain lasting change remains a complex and challenging journey. Of course, I'm going to cover this as well.

Redemption and Recovery

Eclipse's potential redemption could be approached with an understanding that a complete overhaul of his personality is near impossible, because as psychology has shown, you don't just change your personality. However, nuanced growth and positive change within the framework of his behaviors and thought patterns can be explored.

Increased Self-Awareness: Eclipse could undergo a process of heightened self-awareness, acknowledging the impact of his actions on others. This could involve introspection into the motivations behind his behaviors and the consequences they entail. This won't be something he does on his own, he's going to need someone behind him, pushing him to be better. Preferably someone who has no majorly poor history with him for the best results.

Therapeutic Support: In a realistic redemption arc, Eclipse might engage in therapy tailored to individuals with ASPD. This could involve developing coping mechanisms, enhancing emotional intelligence, and learning healthier ways to navigate interpersonal relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a very affective type of therapy for people with personality disorders, or collections of disorders that combined provide the complications of a personality disorder.

Recognizing the Value of Relationships: Eclipse could gradually come to recognize the value of genuine connections beyond their utility. This may involve acknowledging the significance of relationships for emotional support and personal growth. This is going to be a process, and he will mess up. He will forget. It's something he will have to choose to work with in order for it to work, and even then he will make mistakes. It will be important to have patience with him, and instead of lashing out (cause that can cause a spiral back into poor behavior), working on these slip ups with him, and helping him relearn the significance of correcting it when he messes up.

Empathy Development: A full restoration of empathy is be unrealistic, Eclipse could work on developing cognitive empathy—understanding others' perspectives intellectually, even if not emotionally. This could improve his ability to navigate social situations more effectively. (This is what I do! <:happy_stim:867544047735275521>)

Establishing Boundaries: He should learn to set healthy boundaries in his relationships, understanding that manipulating and exploiting others for personal gain may provide short-term satisfaction but is detrimental in the long run.

Contributing Positively: As part of his redemption, he could find avenues to contribute positively to others' lives. This could involve utilizing his unique skills for constructive purposes, fostering a sense of accomplishment outside of manipulative endeavors.

Maintaining Accountability: Eclipse's growth would involve a commitment to being accountable for his actions. This includes acknowledging mistakes, making amends where possible, and actively working towards minimizing harm to others.

Embracing Personal Growth: Eclipse's redemption arc could focus on embracing personal growth within the constraints of his personality. It's about acknowledging that while he may not fundamentally change, he can adapt and evolve to lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Potential Future Scenario: Eclipse Apologizes

Brought to you by someone saying that Lunar would refuse Eclipse trying to apologize, but I respectfully disagree, and here's why.

I think that if Eclipse ever does apologize to Lunar, Lunar would have literally no choice but to accept, because we’ve seen early on that he does not apologize

To genuinely apologize and acknowledge his wrongdoing would be major character development that would take a lot of time and struggle to get to that point, based on my theories/analysis about him

So by the time he can actually, truthfully apologize, there would be evidence to prove his struggle with his own twisted nature, and probably how he failed at times during the journey, and had set backs and road bumps. The others would have most likely seen the effects and effort it takes to learn to change for him, and would most likely acknowledge that he’s being truthful.

If Lunar doesn’t accept at that point, if it ever got to that point, Lunar would be acting irrationally due to emotional complications, would probably just hurt Eclipse when he’s trying to be better for his brother, and would most likely set him back. There’s a very destructive pattern of thought when it comes to personality stuff (which is what I think Eclipse struggles with, a specific personality disorder I’m writing a comic thingy about), because you can’t change your personality. You can’t will yourself to be a certain way, and so it’s very easy to destroy progress people make on self improvement. So lunar refusing the apology would most likely not only hurt Eclipse’s pride (like it was hurt when Lunar left his side the first time) but would also further his belief of “why bother if they won’t accept the fact I’m trying for them” that he’d probably struggle with throughout a period of character growth.

Lunar’s smart, and pretty emotionally aware. He can be petty, but if Eclipse were to get to that point, I don’t think Lunar would refuse it because he would have already seen the struggle and effort Eclipse had put through just to get to that point

Logically, Solar would be the best person to help Eclipse, not Earth

This is partly copied/pasted from some conversations and does analyze Solar a bit as well

I really honestly doubt that Earth is going to be able to help him, if he comes back, and I’m suspecting that Solar would do a better job because he’s the only who can understand, properly, the absolute hell that was waking up inside of Sun’s mind with no idea what’s going on and how he got there. Earth can be sympathetic and show him pity, but that’s not going to help him very much at the end of the day. He doesn’t want sympathy, he doesn’t want pity because he has associated that with being weak and out of control. He needs some one who will understand him, and who will fully understand how one small thing changed so much due to the snow ball effect. Which Solar would understand. He’s “nice eclipse” after all, aka just an Eclipse without such bad formative trauma. So he never spiraled, but he’s just as blunt and analytical as Eclipse tends to be, and would be able to actually communicate with Eclipse about his issues since it’s a situation he could have easily been in had things gone slightly different

Solar is probably the only one who can understand, and I mean properly understand, Eclipse’s trauma and bottled up emotions. And I think that if they’re going to give Eclipse someone who will support him, they should do Solar. He’s got all boxes checked

The ability to fully understand Eclipse

No bad history with Eclipse that would really affect how Eclipse treats him (It’s not like Eclipse knows he built the satellite)

Similar base personality, his just wanted warped and twisted in the start, but if you strip away Eclipse’s issues, they’re practically the same person… for obvious reasons

The willingness to say what needs to be said, and not try to sugar coat. Earth would try to let Eclipse down easy about stuff, ease him into it, and he’s gonna see that as her being manipulative because that’s how he manipulates people. He needs someone who is just going to lay things out on the table

And of course, Solar most likely wouldn’t think Eclipse is too far gone to change. Because how do you think that of yourself? And they are the same person, just from different perspectives. It’s a similar dilemma I have to just writing off Eclipse, when I take him apart and see myself staring back at me. But I was able to improve, it just took work, and it took a situation dire enough to get me to realize that if I didn’t want to ruin the few things I cared about, I needed to get my crap together. And that’s probably what he’s gonna need to, something that threatens what he cares about to the point he realizes that this can’t go on. (And I’m suspecting that something will be control over his own life, just like it was for me.) We saw at the end of his life, that he was starting to self reflect and realize that he needs to change somehow, and this was because his control over his own life was being threatened I suspect.

Extra, Smaller Analysis on Solar and Eclipse

It is important to note that Solar doesn't have this issue (ASPD), and I believe it's because he didn't suffer the same beginning that Eclipse did. They resolved the Solar issue when he popped into existance very quickly from what we can tell, and so he wasn't left in the dark for months on end, left to stew in his own agony and emotions. Personality issues are caused by trauma, and specifically ASPD is directly tied to neglect during the most crucial formative stages in development. Sun and Moon had no idea Eclipse was there, and didn't mean to abandon him, because they didn't know he existed. But this complete, and utter abandoment, what is probably internalized as a personal betrayal because I can imagine Eclipse being destroyed by the idea that Moon left him behind on purpose. Which is just… not a good thought for my man to have, because that leads to feelings of worthlessness, and self-hatred for not being 'good enough' to keep/take care of/help. Which then just snowballs into other negative emotions, that gets him all worked up, and then he's fuming at the fact that they left him. That they decided he wasn't worth keeping around, and how dare they make that decision about him for him?!

You can see how it gets out of hand quickly, as he realizes the neglect he's suffering from, the abandonment he's facing, and the fact that he's now trapped. That Moon got to escape, but he can't and it's not fair. This is the perfect breeding ground for that funny little disorder called sociopathy, and boy, there's almost nothing at this point that can convince me that he doesn't have it because it's all just a little too perfect. And the worst part?

I really really doubt it was done on purpose, but holy heck it would be so cool if it was. Not just because of how beautifully crafted it is in his character, how it's so consistent and real, but also because if it was done on purpose, it would show that the writers took the time to do real research about a disorder that is so often done so poorly, and is commonly confused with a completely different issue (psychopathic disorder). Even knowing that it probably wasn't done on purpose, I'm still gonna just cling to him because I love him and I want him to get the happy ending he deserves. And I mean that genuinely, people who are suffering and lashing out because they're drowing in hate due to unfortunate circumstances that were really out of their control deserve to be given the tools to improve themselves and their lives, and it would be wonderful to see this sentiment reflected in the show.

Wrap-Up Ramble/Writer's Notes

This is, of course, my own personal observations, and it is definitely a lot to read. I had a lot of fun constructing this thread, because it is so rare to find a character that I feel I can properly connect to. I've struggled with a lot of the patterns Eclipse has shown in the show that I've called out, and I've had to go through the steps in the 'redemption arc' section myself. It's not an easy process, and as I mentioned, him realistically improving is going to be a process that is going to be draining on himself, and the people around him. He will have to wake up and choose to go against the walls he's thrown up around himself every single day if he's going to have a realistic redemption, and it's going to be exhausting. But I do genuinely believe that he can change, and improve, because I was able to change and improve as a person. It took time, years of intensive self examination and cognitive based therapy, and it required a strong support system. Which hopefully, if he comes back to the show, he can obtain, because otherwise he will continue to drown in his own bitter stew of resentment for others and himself. And that's no fun, that's just depressing.

A lot of people look at Eclipse and think the villain, but I just can't. His actions make him a bad person, but taking apart the psychology behind him, and seeing how glaringly similar a character is to you that is supposed to be the 'bad guy'… I want him to be able, if he comes back, to get the proper 'recovery arc' that he deserves, and I really hope that if they do try to save him from his own demons, they do it properly, instead of giving him a complete 180. Because you can't change your personality, and Davis and Reed seem to be aware of that with Moon. Even when old Moon tried to be better, he was still an awful person. And the 'new' Moon is still eerily similar to the old one, and as the time goes on, he just becomes more and more like the old one. Because it's the same AI, he just lost his memories. He didn't do a whole personality change because he got his memory card wiped, because he's the same person where it counts. He just has the benefit of not having all of the pain his past self was carrying. He's free of the hurt, and trauma, and self hatred old Moon carried, but he's still Moon.

So I'm really hoping that they continue to accurately display psychology in their characters if they bring Eclipse back, because it is such an immersive show due to the fact that it makes sense. These things make sense psychology wise, their behaviors, actions, patterns of thinking and speech. And I really am looking forward to seeing if they bring Eclipse back because he's such a beautifully constructed character.

You Made It

This is the end of my massive post. Congratulations if you made it this far. If you did, uh, the password is Dorito. Leave it in the comments/reblogs to let me know you made it, haha.

I'd love to see people's thoughts on this and on him, so feel free to leave your thoughts as well in comments/reblogs. I'll try to reply to every single one I see. Again, I love his character so much, it's so well crafted, and it was so fun to take this apart.

Edit: I have been asked about where to find the thread/join in on the convo, etc a few times: I have a thread in the SAMS server here if you want to join the conversation

[theallianceofcelestials]

Hi there!

I saw that you are/were friends with the creators of Stellar Remnants and as someone who knows one of them irl and has heard their non-stop yapping about your stuff I took it upon myself to ask what that little rat is too scared to ask!

What would the SEA Family’s reaction be to the relationships developed within Stellar Remnants?

Also, to give some relationship breakdowns that I actually do surprisingly have permission to share from CoastxlWater’s themself:

You don’t see much of the celestials in the main fic, but from my friend’s rambles about the what-ifs and oneshots series the Remnant Family do infact think about the celestials a good bit to where there are technically relationships

Eclipse hates moon basically, but a good chunk of that hate stems from fear and the knowledge of knowing Moon won’t give up. Since as we know, Eclipse was infact once Moon and so he knows how the bot would act.

Solar Flare would infact do the same thing it did to KC to Moon if it ever gets its claws on him, you don’t mess with Flare and especially not its father.

Bloodmoon wants to basically harass everyone in the celestial family. But due to Eclipse’s creative threats and tracker planted in them they haven’t tried anything yet, or atleast that is what Coastxl has told me about the upcoming prompts.

No one in the Remnants family hate Sun so to say, but no one exactly likes him. Eclipse and Bloodmoon with their distrust of the sunny animatronic and Solar Flare carries its own opinions on Sun.

Eclipse still cares about Lunar, and Bloodmoon does as well but neither would say they like Lunar, because they don’t. Surprisingly it’s Flare to have the major problem here, because from what Coastxl has told me Flare doesn’t appreciate the kids actions. Flare apparently has strong opinions on why Lunar was wrong to turn on Eclipse, especially because Moon’s own treatment of Sun. So Flare is the one who mainly dislikes Lunar.

Surprisingly no one in the family have strong opinions on Solar, and apparently one line Coastxl does have planned for a future chapter is, “Solar? I don’t care for Moon’s little lap dog, I mean yeah he helps Moon and all but they are family who usually treat each other right so it’s understandable, though Solar is a pushover. People pleaser, even.” - Eclipse

Same as Solar no one has strong opinions on Earth, they all kind of just ignore the cheerful ‘sister’ and only plan for Moon, Sun, Solar, and Lunar ever finding where they are. Or really Eclipse is the only one planning and worrying, Bloodmoon and Flare are just trying to get Eclipse to stop worrying.

One thing they all have in common though is a hatred for Monty, and yes that does include Bloodmoon. No one really likes Monty.

I think their relationships with KC are shown well enough in the making fic, Coastxl said they might try developing the hatred and fear more through more night terrors and maybe even a few complete group hallucinations, so they do have a deep fear of KC is all I’m saying.

And before you ask, “how do u know u have permission to say this if they don’t know about you having all of their socials and links to the stuff they like?” Well, they said and I quote: “hm? Oh yeah you can spoil it if you want it’s not like it’s some huge surprise or anything- oh your asking this for possible future blackmail huh? Well fuck you I could give less of a fuck about you spoiling this, HAH”

I dunno if we're on friend levels yet, though tbf I don't really do any of these online friendship things often thanks to crippling anxiety 👍

Also they didn't shut up about my stuff? :0 Somehow I'm still surprised people seem to like my stuff, haha

Also, if anyone tries murdering me in my sleep because of this post, I'm throwing you under the bus <3 /silly

Weeeeeeeell, SEA and SR are pretty different relationshipwise, which would be a surprise to the SEA family.

Solar Flare and Eclipse wouldn't be able to imagine a father-son relationship between themselves, though Solar Flare would understand Flare's attachement to Eclipse, because it's also pretty attached to its own. Even if differently.

Killcode would be greatly saddened there's such a shitty version of himself, and he'd be torn between trying to fix their opinion of him and staying away, if only because he knows more now about trauma and those sorts of things. He too wouldn't want to see the people who caged him and his family in, so he can understand why the Remnants family would want to stay away. Doesn't mean he wouldn't be very tempted to change their opinion tho

Bloodmoon would find how Flare is so much younger an amusing difference they'd use to tease their own brothers. It's too good an opportunity to waste. They just have to do it.

Lunar would be freaked by the dislike of that Solar Flare, used to his brother being reliant, protective, quietly loving and most importantly, patient and always there. He wouldn't know what to do with a version of them that's more hostile with him.

Moon would once again be surprised while also not about just how much he sucks. He wouldn't blame the family though, because he knows he's awful. He would feel more comfortable staying away.

Sun would take one look at it and shrug. He can't do anything, it's none of his business, if those people want something they'll approach each other and work out their issues. He's more than aware family can be complicated and there can be lots of resentment and hostility and dislike, especially with everything that's going on. He also wouldn't be offended by someone looking down on him, because he's aware at first glance he really does appear pathetic.

Over all, the SEA family is surprised, sad and disappointed by the state of the Stellar Remnants dimension, but not like they can do much about it. They have to decide to change their relationships if they want to be something different. Although they'd prefer if these people didn't try murdering each other

(Also, SEA Eclipse thinks the four arms are cool and wishes he was built like that too. Everyone else is just glad the sleep-deprieved fuck doesn't have another pair of hands to overwork himself with)

In March 2024 we went to a local kawaii art market.

I know the lighting is ass but that JSK is sax. If you can't tell I was very uninspired and my coords were all basics for months.

The market was packed! Lots of very cute stuff to blow your money on though. We went for pho afterwards.

JSK, KC: Baby, the stars shine bright Socks, Blouse: Metamorphose Shoes: Transfer Student

[comiccare]

What's your reimagined Eve, considering you don't villainize/demonize her like other people do which i personality kinda appreciate (I know she KC self insert and not everyone got attached to the character like me, but the thing sly is based off)

Follow up question but only if your comfortable answering, is your reimagined going to cover stuff like insest and csa/sa (just without romanticizing it) or is it not going a thing in it, ether chose would be fine

I have been thinking about this ask for a while because it’s very tricky!! Originally I wasn’t going to add it because I feel like I’m not equipped to talk about it, incest means nothing to me, I’ve never experienced it!

However the update where sly seems to have intrusive thoughts/ocd symptoms made me EXTREMELY MAD!! My gf has relationship ocd, and gets uncomfortable intrusive thoughts THAT SHE CANT CONTROL!! Even though she can’t control her thoughts, she absolutely wouldn’t indulge in them like sly does with his fetish

It’s disgusting that kittycorn would use ocd as a clutch for something that is completely in his control when there are real people with ocd that actually struggle!! It’s stops being intrusive when you become willing! Freakycare is extremely harmful to victims of ocd, it makes them seem like monsters. My gf is going to help me write it since I don’t have ocd myself

SO BASICALLY YES!! It’ll be implied that sly has horrible intrusive thoughts about eve, but he will actively seek help for it and will get therapy. It will NOT be pro-incest at ALL

And as for the eve thing just hang on a sec! I have another long winded reply lmao

[knife-moth-mc]

a non-comprehensive but pretty long list of specific things about the baby is you that i think are good or make it good art in some way

The specificity of “what the fuck are you doing on the ground writhing in pain”. I feel like a more normal thing to say would be something like “Are you okay???” It’s very This Gun That I Have In My Right Hand Is Loaded

The layered voices when dave denies being pregnant

The fact that john’s immediate next question after “who’s the father?’ is “who’s the baby?” as if that’s in any way a question that makes sense

Woooooo….. police sirens police sirens…… wooooooo……

John meowing fully unprompted

The extremely Homestuck-specific euphemisms throughout

“I’m not even born yet, that’s not fair!”

Karkat showing up out of absolutely nowhere

Karkat voice “I must be the…. mmmmmidwife.”

Karkat immediately interrupting the unfolding baby situation to sing a little song about his hatecrush on john

Rose’s VA’s ooc lines just kind of thrown in there at what initially seems like random but if you pay attention it makes a certain kind of rhythmic sense

The reveal that rose is pregnant being followed by a betrayed “Rose!” said by both dave and rose

“Suck that bitch’s dick!” “I’m going to—That’s not what I’m doing! That’s the opposite of what I’m doing!”

Hearts. And minds. And souls. And hearts.

The genuinely catchy sung section of the rose rap

The slant rhyme of serengeti with spaghetti

Dave basically turning to the camera to say “incest is bad” before immediately proposing to his sister

The pathos of rose’s confession that she lied about being pregnant, followed by dave’s extremely flat, emotionless reassurance

“Being pregnant might be against the rules of the MSPA forum but shipping us together is not, for some reason”

Bro showing up to provide a new conflict now that all the rose stuff is resolved

The conflict being specifically that he wants to eat babies

“He’s never tried to eat my babies before” implying that there were previous babies

Bro’s forbidden technique being just “words that rhyme with themselves” and then him almost instantly fucking it up

“Actually, a fight sequence was entirely unnecessary, so it was deleted, and what happens is that in the end, it turns out Bro was a robot, I mean… it was just complex, given the fact that this is a normally simple story about, you know, like a thirteen year old boy giving birth to his bre—best friend. It didn’t fit the archetypes, so I’m going to move on to the next song, and you can just… chillax a little bit.”

KC Green (the guy who made This Is Fine and I Guess and a bunch of other well-known images used as memes) being there completely unexplained to lead a sing-along. Like it makes sense historically but in the album itself it just kinda happens

Andrew hussie being directly addressed by name just to really drill in the fact that this is pointed commentary

The very confident implication that babies are a different species entirely

compiled because @420technoblazeit doesn't know how to appreciate this masterpiece

[daddysboydean]

don’t know if you’re still doing the wip game but if so, wax!!!

hiiiiiiii! this is kind of a weird one. i was so in love with acid by @goshen-applecrumbledore after i first read it, and that bit about dean wanting to wax sam's chest made me absolutely feral. plus, goshen's dialogue is insanely good and that's an area i really struggle with, so i started writing a...fic of a fic? to practice dialogue. i kept meaning to go back and flesh it out but it never happened. disclaimer that it reads like a script, has weird gaps, and is truly the wip-iest of wips! ✿✿✿

“I wanna wax your chest,” Dean says. 

“What?” 

“Let me wax your chest.” 

“Why would I let you do that?” 

“Because it’ll be hot. C’mon. Don’t be a pussy.” 

“I'm not being a pussy! Would you let me wax your chest?” 

“I don't have chest hair so it’s a moot point. I'm like a Greek statue.”  

“More like a prepubescent boy.” 

“You’re just jealous, Sasquatch. C’mon. I got a kit and everything. I’ll even go to that God’s Tart movie with you in KC. The French thing.”  

“You mean Godard?”

“Yeah, that guy.”

“...Really?”

“Yeah, really. We got a deal?”

“But you hate foreign movies. The subtitles give you a headache.”

“I thought about it and decided they don’t.” 

[Sam looks skeptical, no nearer to agreeing.] 

“Why do you want this so bad?” Sam asks.

“I dunno! I just do!”

“Is it because you don’t like my chest hair?” 

“What? No, idiot. I just…I wanna wax it. I don't know why.” 

“Is it because—” 

“I dunno, Sam! Quit asking. Sometimes you just wanna do stuff because you feel like it and it isn’t any deeper than that. Like fucking. Or eating. Do we have a deal or not?” 

“Well, actually those things are biological imperatives, so—” 

“Ugh! Do you ever stop!” 

“It’s just that you’ve obviously put a lot of thought into this. You bought the kit already, before you even asked me. You’re negotiating a deal. Tell me why you wanna do it, and I'll do it. [contemplative pause, Sam’s eyebrows doing the twisty thing. Most people get a couple little lines when they do that but Sam gets this u-shaped whorl that Dean wants to press his finger into, hard.] Is it because you like the idea of hurting me?” 

“Are you serious right now? What’s your deal, man? My number one priority since the day you were born has been to keep you safe. Why would I wanna hurt you?” 

“Maybe that’s why. You’ve spent your whole life protecting me, no matter what. That's gotta be exhausting.” 

[Dean can tell where this is heading. Sam is just getting his roll going.] 

“Sam,” Dean sighs, trying to stop this train before it derails completely.  

“I mean, think of all the shit you could’ve done if you hadn’t basically raised me, you know? You could’ve been a kid. You could’ve gone on more hunts if you hadn’t had to stay back and babysit me. You could’ve gotten laid, like, way more often. Doesn’t that make you a little resentful?” 

“Sam,” Dean tries again, firmer this time, but it’s no use.  

“So now you wanna see me get hurt in a controlled environment, with you at the wheel, because it lets you take out your anger on me in a way that feels safe to you. It's like a release. You even said you think it’d be hot — it’s like a, a pain kink.”   

“Sam!”

“What?” 

“You’re doing it again.”

“Doing what?”

“Analyzing me! You know, you’re just as obsessed with me as I am with you. You get off on how Dahmery I am about you. You fuckin’ love it. [pause] Let me wax your chest.” 

“I just think it’s interesting, is all. That you want this so bad.” 

“You know what? You were right. I hate your chest hair, it makes you look like one of those skeazy porno guys from the 70s. All that’s missing is the old mutton chops. Maybe we should bring them back. [pause] Please let me wax it.” 

[Sam, never one to let it go, barrels onward.]

“Do you think you’re a sadist?” Sam asks. 

“A what?” 

“It’s the ‘s’ in BDSM. Never mind. Admit it. Admit that you wanna hurt me.” 

“Look, dude. It was a $15 impulse buy at Walgreens. It's pink with little white flowers on it and I'm pretty sure the strips are pink, too. You’re reading into this way too much, bud.” 

“And—” Sam continues, not giving a shit about any of Dean’s excuses. Dean turns and bangs his head softly against the wall. “You’ve wanted to do this for a while.”

“How would you know?” Dean asks the wall.  

“Because you mentioned it that night, when I asked you what you wanted. You said you wanted to make me throw up and wax my chest. [pause] Just say it. Say you wanna hurt me. Say you’ll get off on it.” 

[Dean interiority] 

“Fine! I wanna hurt you. Thinking about it makes me all hot and bothered in my bad place. Are you happy? Can we do this now?”

[Sam smiles, self-satisfied and cocky that he was right]

[scene change into the bathroom, Dean is straddling Sam, who’s lying prone on the floor. They’re both shirtless but in jeans. The wax warmer is plugged in next to them] 

“You’re like a human rug.” 

“I am not.” 

“It’s like you’re part lemur.”

“I am not! It’s not like I’m covered. It’s…tasteful.” 

“Tasteful.” 

“A tasteful smattering.” 

“A tasteful smattering. Right. Okay, Alf.”

[narrative + interiority, Dean does the first strip] 

“Quit squirming.” 

“It hurts!” 

“It’s gonna hurt a helluva lot more if I accidentally rip the wrong way because you won���t stop moving.” 

[Sam stops moving, Dean rolls back onto him and Sam is hard] 

“You like pain, Sammy? I know you do. What's the big word for that, huh?” Dean does another strip.

“M-masochist.” 

“That the ‘m’?” 

“Yeah.” 

[something here...] [Dean presses his hands lightly into Sam’s hot, red, freshly waxed skin.]

“What’re you doing that for?” Sam asks. 

“The internet said to apply a little pressure to help the pain.” 

“Oh.” 

“Is it?” 

“A little. Your hands are cold, feels nice.”

“Can I do your asshole?” 

“No!” 

“Pretty please?” 

“Dean, no. Stay away from my asshole.”

“You don’t mean that.” 

“Like hell I do! Chest was bad enough, no way am I letting you near my ass with your fuckin’ flowery pink kit of pain.” 

“C’mon. I’ll make you feel real good after, promise. You’ll like it. Think about it.” 

[Dean can see on Sam’s face that he’s thinking about it] 

“Fine.” 

[Dean claps his hands and rubs them together] 

“That’s my boy! Pants off, on all fours. I've seen this done in movies.” 

[Sam, unbuttoning his pants, pauses] “You mean porn? You’ve seen it in porn. They aren’t the same thing, Dean. Porn isn’t, like, instructional. You’re not supposed to mimic what you see porn stars doing. This isn’t exactly inspiring a lot of confidence in me.” 

[Dean doesn’t pay any attention to this.] 

“Pants off, on all fours. Andale, muchacho. The wax isn’t gonna stay warm forever.” 

✿✿✿  

apologies for the length. i'm never going to do anything with this so i figured i'd just post the whole thing. if anyone read all of it know i love you <3 and read acid if you haven't already!!! oh my god what are you doing if you haven't read acid!!!

who the hell is ni-ki ?! - riki's pr team

; SYNOPSIS - school sucks. especially when everyone's avoiding you like the plague - all because you're the principal's daughter. so it comes as a surprise when a strip of paper falls out of your locker one day, with a corny pick up line written on it. now you only have one question on your mind: who the hell is nishimura riki?

➼ NI-KI ! he's done a lot of unhinged things. from riding a motorcycle through the halls to fighting heeseung with a sword, it's a miracle he's still in school (or that he's evaded legal consequences). people often think of him as the 'problem student', and aren't surprised when they hear that he's got another trick up his sleeve.

➼ HEESEUNG ! a second year university student who's regretting his major choice, but is too far in to get out. despite their rough start, riki looks up to heeseung, and likes to update him about his life (read: what fun thing he's planning next)

➼ JAY ! part-time university student, full-time care-taker for riki. all jokes aside, he's decided to get a part-time job at hybe high school to help with his student fees (and to keep an eye on the boy).

➼ JAKE ! unlike the older two, he's flourishing in college. he does well in his studies and he has fun at parties (he sits in the corner and plays subway surfers on his phone). him and riki are like brothers, and is basically him - minus the crazy stuff.

➼ SUNGHOON ! just like jay, he's a a university student who works at hybe high when he's free. he and jay act as riki's parents, but he's more relaxed and unbothered than the older.

➼ SUNOO ! he's currently taking a gap year, thinking it would be a calm and relaxing year - free of school stress. to his surprise, college applications are just as stressful as going to school, and he wonders if he'll ever really escape it all. he and riki have the most siblingest non-sibling relationship ever.

➼ JUNGWON ! student council president of hybe high, he's got a lot on his own plate. he often turns a blind eye to riki's shenanigans, because it's quite funny. at the end of the day, all he wants is a djungelskog, please buy him a djungelskog, specifically the big bear. please. please buy him one.

How to Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis basically tells you where to start and what order to take things when stuff is just positively "depression nest" levels

Mari Kondo is for giving you a starting point on choosing what to keep out of your things that aren't the depression nest

and Organizing Solutions for People With ADHD by Susan C Pinsky is for how to make your home work with your dumbass adhd brain once Mari Kondo has helped you figure out what you're keeping (they all have organizing solutions but I think this last book is crucial if you are in fact working with adhd)

I recommend reading all three (I like the konmari manga) and then taking notes to keep what works for you and what you're already in the habit of doing and discarding the rest

but one of the things they don't give as advice is, imo, actually step one

and that's "find a good workout playlist that you like"

Solar Flare

Realized something profound while talking to @thedenofravenpuff that I want to share. But first for context- Since I'm not usually a person who posts fan theories. It's established that Ruin's copy of Eclipse was so perfect that V4 basically is identical to him. I think that the copy he made of Solar Flare was equally perfect and may have become a vessel for the spirit of the original. [Hence why he hints at Kc guiding his actions too.] And in turn; I think the reason why V2 Eclipse was able to have that direct salt talk with V4 is because he's haunting Solar Flare's body. They did share a frame after all. He might also be a digital ghost. Remaining code scraps that got copied along with Solar Flare's stuff. Since Eclipse was made from Kc, who had the ability to rebuild himself after being torn away from his host. But if V2 is just there watching it would explain why Solar Flare seems sassier now too. He's got all his prior experiences plus his own peanut gallery observing from behind his eyes and commenting. It was established that V2 couldn't move on to the afterlife and was reliving shit in some kind of halfway space while Solar Flare watched over his spirit. Remaking their body would be awfully tempting for a restless ghost. And personally, since there can't be two Eclipse's with the same code [Solar being revived from the dead] I feel like V4 IS V2's code and Solar is V1's code since he was also a first generation Eclipse. And that would cause the least personality changes. Also when Ruin built V3; it would have been fruitful to use V2's memories/personality mostly just because he was around for longer and got to actually have a body and some agency. ANYWAY. The thought that made me emotional- In his own way, Solar Flare was the best of Eclipse's AI creations. Because while he did betray his maker - [Just as Lunar and Bloodmoon before him.] He also didn't leave Eclipse to go to his death alone. And then faithfully, Patiently. Waited near him. Until it was finally time to move on.

Soooo, who's Micah and what's going on with them? Like I know about Lydia and Luce, but I personally wanna hear more about Micah's whole thing if that's okay?

Micah talk!

omggg hiii hello!!! yes !!!!! you can hear about Micah >w<

Micah is my little "i want to be him please let me be him" type of guys, some basic information that i put on discord about that man

his killer chat lore!

Micah is a 24 year old dude from Tennessee, he works as a tattoo artist in Uptown now, his dream had always been to be a rock star, he also worked in his parents' record store (they sold mostly rock and more alternative music genres) He's not really a killer, more of a partner in crime, digs out information and sells it to other killers, mostly vigilante groups though. He bleached his hair blonde because he lost a bet to one of his friends and somehow rocks the style 💔

He is my oc for Misaki, I have a ship chart and a lil interaction thingy for them <3 but before we will dolve into relationships I will show you the man, then his relationships and there more stuff about him that I remember

Face claim:

Sketch done by @sincerelyyourslilly and his KC MC look

Okay so for his relationship with Misaki, first the interaction thing!

"Yeah, yeah." He looked at them. "What got you so excited."

"Well! Remember when you told me about that concert you'll have soon?"

"Yeah the one in Stanfford Park, what's up with it?" He raised his eyebrow.

"I'll be there!" *They exclaimed."

"Wait, what?"

"Okay, it's a long story, but to get to the point! I've saved enough to get a plane ticket!"

Misaki looked at them in shock and then chuckled. "Well then, can't wait to see ya there, superstar."

My silly ship name for them is Shooting Rock but I will change it most likely, he's a black cat and Misaki is his orange cat that's pretty much the tldr of their relationship

now who is he outside of killer chat??

well... my canon-ish oc for Luce! Listen my golden retriever princess and a black cat rockstar/tattoo artist is my dream!

as for who is he, then just scrap out the serial killer informative an being friends with Ronin and we have Micah teehee, Micah also has a younger sister named Nina, he's protective of her and threatened guys who bullied her in middle school, Nina moved out from TN with Micah to Suli Sands ( a fictional city located somewhere in the warmest part of the USA ) where Micah started working as a tattoo artist and sometimes played concerts in smaller bars

LuceMicah interaction (first meeting kind of) and chart !

He sees the florist walk around her shop, picking up the boxes that seemed heavy and carrying them inside. He threw the cloth on the table and left his tattoo studio.

"Needin' a helping hand, m'lady?" He asked, a playful smirk on his face when he noticed that he startled the woman.

"Wha- Ah! Oh… There's no need…"

He raised an eyebrow. "You're here alone, aren't'cha?"

"Well… yes, but-"

"I'll help ya, lady. Can't have you work yourself too hard." He knew that she would be able to do it alone, he heard the town's folk call her slurs, but he didn't care. To him she was a woman like any other and he was raised to help women.

Flower Cassettes is their ship name btw

They make me sick I need to write something about them soon....

Micah's playlist, pin board and the man's style sorta (more in his pinboard tho)

Micah generally is a black cat energy type of guy, he has a pack of cigs on himself all the time tho smokes rarely so he doesn't influence his sister badly.

He writes music about his lovers, when he dates Luce after like a few years he gets a sunflower and daises tattoo on his forearm.

I love this lil guy >w< I will give more of his lore if more questions about him are asked and he, Luce and Lydia are up for x reader/oc/character requests!

xoxo

This has been.. a lot to process, but well:

I'm just gonna say this.

What is going on regarding Sparklecare... hate to say it, but it was like inevitable, y'know? Even though our system enjoyed Sparklecare, but to realise that especially cometcare had thinly (as in, extremely thin) veiled incestuous themes is.... quite frankly just 🤮. Though tbf, the writing was on the wall, so to speak, when the age rating got upped 18+, despite it being 16+ when we starting reading it around mid-2023 (and from the sounds of it, longer than that).

KC, you had minors and vulnerable folks reading your stuff, not knowing of you doing this behind the scenes.

And kittycorn doesn't bother taking accountability for kits own actions. Let me use an analogy here:

All of kc's life choices are a minefield, with every single landmine being a possible consequence of her actions. Kit can only keep dodging those landmines for so long, but luck is eventually going to run out, she's gonna roll a nat 1, and step on a mine, forcing her to face the consequence of kits own actions. That is basically what has just happened. Kit stepped on that landmine and now has to face the consequences of buns own actions. Like, her current deflections are literally kit basically stepping on that landmine and going "This is fine".

No, it's not fine. Kittycorn, I mean this in the nicest way that I can muster: get some actual help. Take accountability for your own actions. Recognise that you fucked up royally, and maybe try and learn and hopefully change for the better.

Your own traumas are not an excuse. One would've hoped that you would be better than the demons birthed from those traumas. But instead, you fed and fueled them by surrounding people who also fed and fueled them.

Get actual help, find healthier ways of coping, you betrayed not just the former zcp, but us outsiders who enjoyed and even related to your comic.

Fuck you kittycorn (not in the fun way). Fuck the zcp (again, not in the fun way) at this point.

I've said what I said.

Edit to add: Our system really won't be posting anything Sparklecare related after this.

But there was only one good thing from our time enjoying Sparklecare: kc's art style had an (now negligible) influence on our art style. An influence that has increasingly negligible. So there's that, I suppose.

Truly sorry about the wall of text.

Some eye bleach in the form of our cats below the cut.

Slides over my Swap Eclipse next to SEA family

(It's Eclipse on the role place of Earth. Basically all the Earth story but put Eclipse on her place instead. The daddy issues thing, being a younger sibling for Sun and Moon, being now on the wheelchair sometimes when needed and such. Tho the only difference is that Eclipse in this universe doesn't date Monty how Earth does it in the original. They have more of the queerplatonic relationships-)

I like to image S!Eclipse will quickly get along with everyone! Well- maybe expect Bloodmoon simply cuz of killing him, hurting Lunar and almost killing Monty:_)

But still i think he will get along with KC over baking and will probably spent planty of times talking with Sun or Eclipse ggrrrrrr

Oh yeah, I saw that cutie patootie

Being an Eclipse with an Earth's temperament would be a win for him honestly. He'd win over the SEA family much easier

But yeah, KC, Sun and S!Eclipse would just be vibin while baking together. If it's after the whole being hit with NSP then they'd be careful with his needs and make sure he rests plenty. They can finish whatever they were making together later, it's not the end of the world if the cookies take an extra hour or so.

SEA Eclipse would be a bit weirded out tho by someone who has the same name being so vastly different, but then he'd remember the five hundred thousand Bonnies and five bagillion Freddys and shrug. And well, weirder things have happened to him before, so

Bloodmoon would be sad though. They're aware they're something of an... aquired taste, but still, they're not too bad! And they're not maniacs who want to murder everyone and everything! They can behave!

Solar Flare would probably vibe with him also, and it'd appreciate reading with him and stuff like that. It likes quiet. Though it wouldn't mind the potential screaming during gaming

Also, I just remembered Earth knits, so doea that mean Sun has a knitting!sewing buddy in him?

Also, would he be catuious with Lunar if he's in the chronic pain era? Like would he be worried about being attacked?

[d4izukeiz0nl1ne]

From what I saw what's happened in the kittycorn/kneeby situation now

I'm so shocked abt it and I'm disgusted of what KC had done...

she basically made a comic of sly and eve having incestuous relationship,which made me fucking disgusted,like is so fucking gross and romanticized,kit shouldn't romanticize your trauma it's very unhealthy,not only it will hurt her but also it will hurt others too who went through same as kc went and the majority of who reads her comics and likes her content was victims of incest and romanticizing this shit it just will harm them and makes them very uncomfortable,and they feels betrayed bc of this

It will worse what sparklecare is a incest fetish comic also do with cometcare,kit hid the fetish ON HER COMIC especially on the rat twins (doom mood and mood doom) also IT HAD MINORS DRAWING THESE CHARACTERS WITHOUT KNOWING IS A FETISH CONTENT,and it got worse what it had minors was working on this comic,i feel disgusted this is a fucking fetish mining I just can't believe I was liking a literal fetish comic in all this time

not only sparklecare BUT ALSO COMETCARE,and it made me to gross out honestly I never read cometcare in my life I just saw the site of it bc im curious of the AU,I want to read it and know more the lore,but I don't want it anymore it make me pretty uncomfortable abt it and disgusted,also it had incest dogwhistles on the comics is very gross

also she befriended and supported literal pedophiles and groomers (like chimera and woofles) which is rlly fucked up and disgusting as fuck,supporting and being friends with predators/groomers is very gross and horrible,these people literally hurted some ppl and affected their lives and kc supports them? gross,also she attempted to slience the victims it makes it more fucked up

her response don't help nothing she just used trauma as excuse for making these shit also she never mentioned of befriending predators it makes her response shitty

also she assumed what sleeve (sly x eve) is canon and made a post saying "oh sly x eve forever!!!!!! >_<" it made me to get mad and gets more disappointed with her

I just need to say this

I DON'T SUPPORT KITTYCORN/KNEEBY IN ANY FORM

IF YOU DO SUPPORT I WANT YOU DO LEAVE I don't want ppl who supports a creep on my blog

and please I don't want to be associated with cometcare and don't talk abt it plz,I am very uncomfortable abt it

abt sparklecare,I don't know if I can separate the art from artist in this case I just still love the characters but the comic is an incest fetish content,I just idk if I can separate or not...

I need to say this for who is fictive,fictionkin and etc of kneeby's content

Im very sorry of this,you guys don't deserves that creep you guys are not like that gross person

Also I'm very sorry what your favorite webcomic revealed out to be disgusting incest fetish content,mainly the ones who found comfort and safety of this comic,is pretty horrible and upsetting

anyways this shit was fucked up I just hope KC leaves internet for a while (like a LONG time) and gets better as person,this stuff is disgusting and upsetting

and also I hope the victims can get recover From kc's bullshit...they don't deserve it

And also plz stay safe to you y'all 💜

Important:DON'T HARASS OR DOXX EVERYONE INVOLVED HERE,ITS VERY FUCKED TO DO
