been going down a rabbit hole of golden age fics and this is my take on the nightlight design tee hee (I love him with all my heart and soul)
also it’s my personal head canon that nightlight was a past life of Jack’s and can access his star boy powers in life/death situations?? Idk but wouldn’t that make a cool future scene where jack can access past PAST lives’ memories and just see his cool space protector self like
Sometimes I forget that the reason I got into RotG, then RotBTD, then animated movies etc etc was just a McDonald's commercial. Like fr 13 yo me got an instant crush and things escalated quickly
I think a good, full movie or tv show containing the sweet, magical, sprite-like boy x headstrong human girl who is the only one who understands him could cure all of humanity’s problems honestly.

masterlist
Sighing once more. Yknow, Manny, or The Man In The Moon, could've been an interesting character.
You're telling me, this guy, this immortal guy, was completely isolated from anyone talking to him in person for centuries, got to see kids live happy lives on Earth and DIDNT feel envy?
Not once?
Remember that his only friend was ripped from him and tortured by Pitch, who caused his parent's death. Besides his moonbots, moonmice and lunar moths, he had no one.
The rewrite I often go with is a gray character that wants to do good but his own flaws cause the worst outcomes. Like reviving Jack. He would want more than anything to help bring his Guardian, his brother, back but to see it went wrong to the point where Jacks memories are fractured? How could he look him in the eyes? How could he talk to Jack when he'd be stared at like a stranger?
Its selfish of him to ghost Jack, but he would be riddled with guilt over just how much pain he caused that he would go silent for a long time.
Guardianhood would weigh on him heavily as hes granting wishes to kids who will have everything he never could. Some days he might ignore them out of spite, or hes just not emotionally stable to. The weight of judging what is worth granting just grating him down, all while hes completely by himself. A screw would definitely be sliping out of that wall behind that smile.
I just like imagining Manny to yknow, have DEPTH. This is just my take I'll be in the echo chamber
