Laes really does not stop breaking our hearts, eh?
Earth's words especially struck a cord of me.
Eclipse feels like he's never been in control, because he wasn't.
He was abandoned by old Moon.
In both their heads, he was the problem.
Every single day he had to watch through Sun's eyes, as another him got to live the life he wanted.
And even that wasn't enough for old Moon, considering the star exists.
And once it all got too much, he decided to take control, and even then he felt rejected.
He made himself his own brother, but never actually got close to him, because he was afraid of being abandoned again.
And he was, but this time, the problem was himself.
The only time he really had control was, when he got that damn star, and even then, he couldn't do anything.
He didn't know what he wanted anymore, this grand dream suddenly didn't feel worth it anymore…
And even now he's not in control!
He thought, he could at least rest in death, but not even that is given to him!
My damn heart can't take this…

RIGHT??? RIGHTTTTTT?????? 😭😭😭
ECLIPSE HAS LITERALLY NEVER BEEN IN CONTROL AND IT KILLS MEEEEE.....
From body to body, losing person after person, and now being brought back every time he dies??? It's so insanely sad to me that, even during his most "in control" moments, he isn't really. Like you said, with the star he ended up not knowing what he wanted to do anymore and it started to gnaw at him from the inside out!! During the october takeover, even though he had Lunar under his thumb, the bodies they had weren't theirs!! It's so fucked up!!!!
I wish Eclipse wasn't so terribly emotionally constipated bc holy shit I would have adored to have that touched on more. Even through all his walls and masks and edge, he told Earth that waking up outside his own body was "horrifying" and that just gutted me. And what gutted me even more is that when Earth sympathized with him he just totally backpedaled!!!
He was almost, like, embarrassed at having said anything even remotely honest! Like he opened up the tiniest bit and it wasn't handled in a way he liked so he immediately shut it back down.
He drives me up the WALLS I love him so much. He's like the trauma and issues georg of the show 2 me </3

Jon: Damian, I have a suggestion that you're going to hate, but I need you to bear with me and seriously consider it
Damian: very well
Jon: *takes a deep breath* I think we should go on an adventure with our brothers (Kon and Tim) instead of our dads
Damian: *visibly vibrating with anger* *deep inhale* ...eXpLaIn
Jon: our dads are constantly talking about responsibility and the importance of a well-balanced SuperBat partnership, working together as a single unit and approaching things seriously
Damian: they are respected heroes, above reproach in their conduct and two of the three main founders of the Justice League
Damian: meanwhile our "brothers", as you say, have a public history of being reckless and idiotic when teamed up together and are regularly involved in inane, useless shenanigans
Jon: they would let us ride laser dinosaurs into battle without question
Damian: they-
Damian:
-later-
Damian: father Jon and I are going on an adventure with Drake and his clone boy
