Doodles from @daycarefriendpickup's week 3 weekend magmas! Sea slug Sun and friends are going on adventures, where will they end up next?

There's also a little guy on the Jacko train, a collab started by @bloo-the-dragon, my addition to a mini baking collab and a mushmoon! (He was inspired by another mushmoon that was also on the board, adding this design towards the mushmoon patch!)

Ruin!Eclipse x Tiny!Reader

It was only a matter of time before I wrote for the true and canon Eclipse hahaha, lmao he’s not evil- bitch y’all thought- y’all really thought he’d be evil …to be fair so did I

Anyways- yeah here y'all go- this story is finally finished, next up the jekyll and hyders can rejoice bc im finally making the second and final chapter to that story- i've let guilt plague me for too long with it and im done- im writing it so i can be free

You were standing there, in what remains of The Mega Pizzaplex, you stood, looking at all the rubble and decay, the place… Was in ruins, the place had been a complete wreck, and well you had been here for it unfortunately, you had seen it all go down in flames and honestly given your tiny stature you had no idea how you even survived it, but somehow you did, and yet so many things were ruined.

-------------------------------------------

So many animatronics were damaged or torn apart or even forced to shut down because of the overwhelming heat, everything was a disaster and even thinking about it now brought tears to your eyes, especially when your mind drifted off to the two jesters in particular, Sun and Moon… You felt your heart nearly break upon thinking of those two.

--------------------------------------------

Sun and Moon both, you had grown so fond of, you had been with them for as long as you can remember, it started on that one fateful night when you had suddenly woken up shrank down, trying to find shelter from the rain that was pouring down, threatening to drown you, and that’s when you found The Mega Pizzaplex itself, more so, when you found the Superstar Daycare and them.

-------------------------------------------------------

You had first met Sun, after having tried to navigate out of the Daycare, you had saw a strange giant shadow looming over you, the rays from Sun’s faceplate sticking out and giving you an indicator, and at first you had been absolutely terrified of the animatronic but then he had proven himself to be not an enemy but an actual friend, he took care of you, made sure you stayed out of sight of the other animatronics, Vanessa, and the children.

--------------------------------------------------------

…And then… You met Moon, now at first you might’ve thought that Sun was terrifying to meet but oh, he didn’t hold a candle to Moon, that was one of the most terrifying experiences of your tiny life, Moon had practically toyed with you, treated you like prey, he feigned playing hide n seek knowing where you were the whole time via his sensors.

-------------------------------------------------------

And then when Moondrop had got you, he threatened to break your bones, drop you, tear you apart, etc… He had even injured you a slight bit with a claw that poked into your chin, and well if it hadn’t been for you having a full blown panic attack, he probably would’ve, after you had that panic attack it seemed to snap him out of whatever was controlling him which you knew what it was now…

---------------------------------------------------------

…You shuddered, not wanting to think about h e r, about t h e m… Either way, after Moon had snapped out of it, he had tried to calm you down but you had just been too terrified, and then the lights came back on, and then out came Sundrop once more and he had managed to calm you down from there, he had also been communicating with Moon again more properly, the REAL Moon, not that virus-riddled one.

------------------------------------------------------

And after a bit of calming down, despite there still being some tension between well… Sun and Moon themselves and even you, you had wanted Moon to come back out so you could get to know him, and well he hesitantly agreed but he had stayed close to the lightswitch just in case something might go wrong… Moon had apologized and he seemed to beat himself up immensely for what had happened, but either way the two of you had patched things up in the long run.

--------------------------------------------------------------

In fact, you, Sun, and Moon, all of you had… Really grown close, Sun and Moon grew close to each other again and they also grew close and attached to you as well, all went well even despite them not ever being able to help you find anything out about how you suddenly shrank down, they were never able to help with that but at the same time you didn’t mind it all that much after a while, sure you did miss some things you used to be able to do but it wasn’t all THAT bad.

-------------------------------------------------------------

After all, at the very least, Sun and Moon made it more bearable, you had grown very attached to the animatronics and they did to you as well, so they made being this small so much more bearable than what it would’ve been had you still been all by your lonesome… As you had walked around, just looking at the remains of the Superstar Daycare, as of right now, Sun wanted you to stay away from them.

----------------------------------------------------

The reason? Because of how damaged they had gotten, and well, even with no virus within Moon as of right now, apparently all that damage, pain, and stress they were under had been causing Moon and even Sun himself to glitch, you remembered Sun’s words very clearly, the way he sounded like he was in agony and distressed “N-No no no NO! It-It’s not safe yet, don’t… Come near us, (Y/N)!”

----------------------------------------------------------

Sun had kept repeating over and over about the generators being on and then it’d be safe and fine as he stumbled around the remains of the Daycare, stumbling over rubble and into things, and then of course Moon would also speak sometimes, talking about how he wanted there to be no more Sun, no more light and he was acting completely feral right now, his eye was back to its red color like the first time you had met him except it glowed and dimmed, in and out.

----------------------------------------------------------

Moon would topple some stuff here and there, he had almost caused rubble to topple over on top of them in his rampaging, it pained you, it hurt to see your boys like this, in such a state of hysteria and pain… You wished you could do something, you WANTED to do something to help them but coming near them just seemed to cause that much more distress and so you had decided to stay out of their way that was until now…

----------------------------------------------------------

You weren’t just standing there on the ground or in any random place, no, a little girl had came into the Daycare just now, a VERY unsafe place for a kid like her but she had found you, albeit by accident and well you and her had talked when she promised not to hurt you, she wanted to question why you were tiny but you had told her there was no time for that now, you begged her to help Sun and Moon, you explained the situation to her and the kid seemed very sympathetic, she had agreed immediately to help you all out.

----------------------------------------------------------

“I’m very grateful you’ve decided to help, Cassie… I just want Sunny and Moonie back to normal” That was the kid’s name, she was a nice girl, polite as could be, you stood there on her shoulder as she carefully navigated through the ruined Daycare, Cassie then spoke up “You seem… Very attached to them, I get it though, my favorite animatronic is Roxy, I wouldn’t want to see her… Like that…” You nodded at her words.

--------------------------------------------------------------

And then you both yelped when suddenly, as Cassie was going through the play structures, Moon had suddenly appeared and grabbed Cassie’s arm through the bars, Moon’s voice was raspy, scratchy, he had mentioned about the kid being naughty and that it was time for her nap, you were about to get thrown off her shoulder before Cassie’s flashlight suddenly hit Moon directly in the face, there was a mixture of a scream between Moon and Sun in that moment, a hiss from Moon as he screeched “No light! No light!”

--------------------------------------------------------------

Both yours and Cassie’s heart was pounding after that, Cassie had looked back to you “(Y/N)? A-Are you… Okay?” You nodded your head, your breathing a little shaky along with your body “I-I’m fine …L-Let’s… Keep going…” Cassie nodded her head and then began to make her way further through the play structures, or well what remained of them anyways, you had apologized to her for Moon doing such a thing, explaining to Cassie that the Moon you knew wouldn’t do that.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Cassie then spoke up “I-I understand, (Y/N)... It’s not your fault, nor Sun’s, nor even Moon’s… From what you told me it sounds like they’re both genuinely in a lot of pain, I… I’m not sure how, but I’ll try to help you all out as best I can” You smiled at the kid, and thanked her for that and then you saw her pull out a mask and your eyes widened when you saw what that mask was, an all too familiar sight and memory coming back to haunt you almost “...I-I… C-Cassie… Where… Did you get that…?!”

--------------------------------------------------------

Cassie looked confused “I just… Found it, this mask has been helping me navigate through the pizzaplex, it's… Hard to explain how it works” and then Cassie noticed the nervous, almost scared look on your face and she blinked “...(Y/N)? Is… Is there something wrong? You look… Really scared all of a sudden” And then you shook your head “N-No, no… It’s… It’s fine, let’s just… Keep going…”

----------------------------------------------------------

You didn’t want to think about t h e m… You didn’t want to think about Vanny nor even William, not right now, you wanted to save Sun and Moon, that was your main goal right now and so Cassie just shrugged but nodded at that, she put the mask on and even though you couldn’t see what she sees, Cassie then looked over at her shoulder to see if you were still there with the mask on but you weren’t on her shoulder anymore…

------------------------------------------------------

In fact, you were a regular sized person in the AR World, you were standing beside Cassie and you had looked at her confused by her sudden shock “...What’s up, Cassie?” The little girl then spoke up “...You… You’re not… Tiny in the AR World… When I have the mask on your… Normal sized…” She admitted, and well you didn’t want to question things right now, so you just nodded at that “...Well, uh, I… I used to be regular sized, believe it or not…”

------------------------------------------------------------

You then sighed a bit sadly “...I never figured it out, Sunny and Moony weren’t able to figure it out either, but eventually… I grew to accept it, because with Sun and Moon around, they made being this small not as bad” Cassie seemed to nod her head at that “...I see… I’m sorry you never figured out what happened …But, at least you got someone like Sun and Moon…” You smiled and thanked her for that and then finally, Cassie stepped through the objects blocking her path.

---------------------------------------------------------------

And then suddenly, Sun jumped down in front of her “N-New friend? N-New friend! I-I-I am trapped in a nap!” Sun’s voice was frantic, panicked even but even then, he still ever so gently took a hold of Cassie’s hand and brought it up to gesture toward the faz-wrench “Reboot! Reboot! We NEED to be whole…!” Cassie then looked at her faz-wrench “You want me to reboot you? With this…?” And then the sounds of clicking as Sun’s head turned caught Cassie’s attention.

-----------------------------------------------------------

And now it was Moon speaking, getting dangerously close to her face “Naughty! Naughty!” His voice was raspy, ear grating, and then Sun had forced himself back in control and stumbled back from Cassie, he was grabbing at his face while making some sounds that made it sound like he was in a struggle which he probably was, his voice was frantic as he spoke “Lights on! Lights on! Turn generators on…!” And then suddenly, he, well it looked like the Daycare Attendant had just up and flown away but surely it was just some kind of wire.

---------------------------------------------------------

Cassie had taken off the mask after that, just to… Ensure that weird rabbit thing wouldn’t come after her so soon, and then she looked back to you who was now sitting on her shoulder again and of course tiny once more, Cassie told you what she had planned to do in full detail and you nodded at her, and then of course, the two of you set off, finally… Sun and Moon would hopefully be fixed and you could be reunited with the two.

----------------------------------------------------------

. . . It took… A LOT of trial and error, and you meant a LOT of it. During all this, hearing Sun and Moon struggle against one another like that broke your heart, it reminded you of old times… Before Moon had gotten saved from that virus, it’s like the two were just tormenting one another now, but either way eventually Cassie got the second generator on and Moon was now paralyzed in place which you hated to see but it was for his own good now.

---------------------------------------------------------

Cassie then quickly made her way over, as she walked, she glanced over to you “Alright (Y/N), this is it …I hope for your and their sake, this works…” You nodded at the girl’s words “...I hope so too, Cassie, I really do…” Well there was only one way to find out, apparently Sun seemed to think it would help, and so Cassie climbed up to where the ruined Daycare Attendant stood, frozen, paralyzed in place by the light now shining down on top of him.

---------------------------------------------------------

You watched on as Cassie approached closer, and then looked down at her faz-wrench, she then went around to the back of Sun’s head, being extra careful of the wires on the back and then she placed the wrench into the two little holes on the back, twisting it once, and that seemed to reboot them as Sun said it would, they made some sounds, twitching a little before just slumping down a bit.

-----------------------------------------------------------

…For a moment, you and Cassie were worried it didn’t work, but then suddenly… Sun’s head shot up, or well you had thought it was Sun, the rays had come back out and well he looked so much more lively, but the voice was… Different… “Happy Birthday!” The voice spoke, sure, it still looked like Sun and well Moon, but the voice, the mannerisms, it was all different… And then Cassie had gently scooped you into her hands when the animatronic had gently grabbed her “Warning! Warning! Child in Danger! Safety Mode Active…!”

---------------------------------------------------------------

And then the animatronic floated through the air, well, again, presumably the wire that went onto the back of Sun and Moon’s body “Little girl… You can’t be in here, it's dangerous…! I need to clean up before we can open in the morning, oh, this place will be flooded with kids…” And finally, the animatronic had landed onto the ground, carrying Cassie to the exit and gently placing her outside “Come back soon and have a faz-errific day!” And as the animatronic was about to close the doors, Cassie quickly called out “W-Wait!”

-----------------------------------------------------------

The animatronic paused immediately before tilting their head, it still had Moon’s cap on, the rays were sorta bobbing in and out, the red and yellow eyes staring at Cassie “Yes little one, what is it?” Cassie then held you up for the animatronic to see, it looked confused for a moment before they seemed to smile even bigger, which was now visibly thanks to the moving teeth underneath “Ah, yes, how silly of me…!” The animatronic gently took hold of you with one hand, they were extremely mindful, careful not to cut or stab into you with those claws.

----------------------------------------------------------------

They thanked Cassie before closing the doors with one hand now, and then well, Cassie could hear bells jingling, and then Sun’s voice rang out in such a relieved manner “Thank youuu~” …And now, you and… Sun…? Moon…? This animatronic in general were alone, and they looked down at you with affection, sure it would’ve been hard to tell if it had been anyone else but you could see it and so you called out “S-Sun…? …Is… Th-That you…?” The animatronic shook their head.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

“Oh my little starshine… No no… My name is… Eclipse” …The animatronic, er… Eclipse as they deemed themselves now introduced and that made you blink in confusion for a moment, but then you decided to chime up with some questions “W-Wait… …E-Eclipse…? Th-Then… Where are S-Sunny, and Moony? Are- Are they-” Eclipse seemed to sense your distress and so they gently shushed you “Calm down (Y/N), we’re all here…” And then to prove it so it’d ease your worries that this reboot had gotten rid of Sun and Moon both or their memories.

--------------------------------------------------------

Suddenly, Sun’s voice spoke up “You’re still our little Sunbeam!” And then Moon’s raspy voice spoke “Our little starlight…” The two of them sounded like they were finally at peace, finally no longer in pain, and then Eclipse had spoken up, their voice was like a mixture of the two, not too loud or energetic but also not super calm, mostly just… In the middle “Our little starshine…!” They did sound a bit strained after Sun and Moon took control like that though, either way... You smiled, some tears pricking your eyes as you hugged onto Eclipse’s finger gently, you were mindful since the endoskeleton was showing.

----------------------------------------------------------

Eclipse was smiling warmly down at you as they held you close to their chest now, still being mindful of themselves “Shh… It’s okay, little starshine… It’s going to be alright now…”

----------------------------------------------------

You couldn’t help but sniffle and cry a little into Eclipse’s chest, after all, it had been a long time now since you last saw Sun and Moon not in any pain, ever since the fire that had destroyed this place, they had been going haywire, the both of them… So, you were, really relieved, really happy that things could start going back to normal at least.

---------------------------------------------------------

Eclipse shushed you gently, they were careful with their fingers which were pretty much sharp claws, they gently patted your back “It’s alright (Y/N)... We’re all here for you, we’re all going to take care of you” They reassured, and well after just hugging into them as best you could given your tiny size, and just crying and letting everything out, once you had calmed yourself down with Eclipse’s help of course.

------------------------------------------------------

You then looked up at them “S-So… …Yo… You’re Eclipse now…? Or, wait, are you… A new AI entirely?” Eclipse paused at this, they lifted their hand and poked at their chin, seemingly in thought, it took them a few moments before speaking up “...I am, myself, I am Eclipse… …I… Think I count as my own self, after all, I can still hear Sun and Moon’s voices in my own head but… I have my own thoughts, my own feelings” Eclipse admitted.

-------------------------------------------------------

You then nodded at this “...Well uh, I guess… It’s… Nice to meet you, Eclipse…” Eclipse’s rays couldn’t spin considering how broken they were but they seemed to beam at that “It is wonderful to meet you too, (Y/N)...!” You smiled at them, this was… Going to be a new change but at the very least, it was clear you could still talk to Sun, Moon, and now… Eclipse.

--------------------------------------------------

“I should clean up, this place is an absolute nightm-” And then Eclipse went stiff as their eyes scanned around the Daycare, or well, what remained, and their rays somewhat retracted, it made a pretty bad sound before they returned to their original position “...Nightmare… O-Oh dear, oh no no no…! Oh no what a mess!” Eclipse sounded a little distressed here, they kept talking about needing to clean up because of the… …Kids…

------------------------------------------------------

You felt a pang in your chest, and your expression dropped slightly, you knew, as well as Sun and Moon did, all three of you knew that there would be no more kids, but Eclipse… They were technically just ‘created’ supposedly and while you didn’t want to tell them the truth, you also couldn’t lie to them either, there was no way you’d ever lie to them, and then Eclipse spoke up “C-Clean up! Clean up! A-And not only for the kids, but oh (Y/N), it’s so dangerous for you in here right now”

--------------------------------------------------------

You then spoke up, your voice a little shaky “E-Eclipse… …Th-There’s something I need to tell you…” Eclipse tilted their head, blinking in confusion “Oh? What is it, my little starshine?” You hesitated, swallowing thickly, you really didn’t want to upset Eclipse but they needed to know, they DESERVED to know the truth “...E-Eclipse…” You began, your voice soft as you looked up into their yellow and red glowing eyes “...Th… The kids… They… …They aren’t… Coming back…”

----------------------------------------------------------

There was a long pause, Eclipse tilted their head in confusion even further, they looked down at you “...I… …Wh-What do you… Mean…? No more… Kids…?” Eclipse’s voice was shaky.

-----------------------------------------------------------

You felt your heart shatter at this, it broke your heart to hear Eclipse’s shaky voice, especially the fact they sounded… Upset already but you took a deep breath and just gestured for them to bring you closer to their face, they did so, and you then hugged their faceplate as best you could, just hugging and patting it, being mindful of their teeth that can now move “...I-I’m sorry, Eclipse… …But, it… It’s true… The- The kids won't be coming back… …Sun and Moon, should tell you what happened at the very least…”

-------------------------------------------------------

There was silence on Eclipse’s part, they looked as if they were beginning to go into thought, in fact, Eclipse could hear Sun’s voice chime up in their mind [ Eclipse… What (Y/N) is saying, about the kids, is unfortunately true, you see… ] And then of course Moon’s voice spoke up [ . . . There was a fire, and that fire… It… It… ] And then well, both Sun and Moon had spoken up, their voices radiated sadness [ …It destroyed everything, and shut us down… ]

---------------------------------------------------------

Eclipse’s rays shrank a bit, their eyes going wide at those words as the realization finally struck them, and it struck them hard… You could even see it in their eyes, their expression as you just continued to hug their faceplate close, you could feel their hand trembling beneath you but they were quick to steady it, not wanting anything to befall you as Eclipse then looked down and sad “...I-I… I see… …I… Understand…”

------------------------------------------------------------

Eclipse looked pretty upset but you could also imagine Sun and Moon were pretty sad about it as well, there was a long moment of silence as you just continued to comfort Eclipse, just hugging their faceplate and patting it gently, the silence was broken by them sighing and standing up straight, well, as straight as they could since their foot was missing and leg was pretty destroyed “...I-If there are… No kids, coming back here …Ever… Then…” Eclipse paused, they looked around at the destroyed remains of the Daycare.

--------------------------------------------------------

Eclipse knew deep down they couldn’t clean this mess, not this one, things were far too damaged, too gone, and they seemed to be thinking about something for a moment before looking back down at you “...Then I… I don’t really have any reason to stay here, there’s no way I can clean up THIS mess and even then, it is still not safe for you, (Y/N)... This place does not have anything that’s safe to consume”

--------------------------------------------------------

You were shocked by this, Sun had always been EXTREMELY adamant on never leaving the Daycare, Moon didn’t mind nor care that much as he was technically security, patrolling around at night, you can imagine Sun yelling in their head right now at this notion, which would’ve made you giggle had this not been the situation it was “E-Eclipse… Are… Are you sure? I-I know how much the Daycare… Means to you…To Sunny, to Moony… And besides, yo-you won’t have any way of charging out there, we can… Make this work, here…”

--------------------------------------------------------

Eclipse shook their head “(Y/N), look at this place, it is FAR too dangerous for you… There are so many jagged, sharp, and deadly areas, not to mention how tiny you are, you could get SEVERELY injured here or… Or… …W o r s e…” Eclipse shuddered upon saying that, shaking their head, not wanting to even think about it, but you sighed and just hugged one of their fingers close to you “...I-I know, its… It’s dangerous, but hey, it… It still was before all this…”

-------------------------------------------------------------

You then cleared your throat before continuing “I mean there were STILL areas I could’ve been hurt or kil-” Eclipse cut you off, not wanting to hear that word, and you immediately rephrased, not wanting to upset them any more than they already were “...Worse, or worse… The other animatronics were even after me” You then thought about it because you could see Eclipse about to argue with you and then you spoke back up.

--------------------------------------------------------

“And besides… This place… It isn’t how you all think it is anymore… Sun, Moon, Eclipse… …There’s… Something you need to see…” Eclipse tilted their head in confusion and well deep down you were sure Sun and Moon were confused too, and so you sighed “...Just… Go outside and you’ll all see, I, I know a way out, one you can fit through of course” You chuckled a bit and then Eclipse perked up, seemingly curious.

---------------------------------------------------

And so, off they set, with you in their hand guiding them outside, it took you all a while, as you had obstacles and even some remnants of the other animatronics to deal with, luckily Eclipse made it past them with the slightest of ease, and then eventually you pointed at a big enough hole in the wall “There, you should be able to fit through there…” Now, you knew Sun had never seen outside the Daycare as he was never allowed to leave, Moon had, but Eclipse hadn’t seen anything until now.

---------------------------------------------

But there was one thing not any of them had seen yet… And that was… The world outside The Mega Pizzaplex… Eclipse seemed nervous, they hesitated as they approached the hole in the wall, but after a bit of encouragement from you, Eclipse smiled and nodded and finally they crouched and stepped through, the glow in their eyes fading as they were greeted with lush plants, damn near a forest which they were extremely shocked about, because even though none of them had ever been OUTSIDE like this, they figured it was like a big parking lot or something.

-----------------------------------------------------------

The next thing they were greeted with was… Warmth… Light… And then Eclipse glanced up and looked past the trees and their eyes widened a bit in shock, in fact you could imagine all of them being shocked, and sure enough, suddenly Sun’s voice broke through “...I-Is… Is that… The real sun…?! I’ve… Never seen the real sun before!” He spoke with excitement and then Moon’s raspy voice chimed in “...I wonder… If we’ll get to see the real moon” He hummed, seeming amused and then finally Eclipse spoke back up “Oh…! Maybe we’ll even get to see a REAL eclipse…! Solar or Lunar is fine by me…!”

-------------------------------------------------------

They beamed, before looking back down at you in their hands “...Safely, of course, after all, I wouldn’t want you looking up at a Solar Eclipse, (Y/N)...” You chuckled and nodded “Don’t worry bud, I’ll keep my eyes to the ground and closed so you won’t worry” Eclipse nodded and smiled and then looked around before spotting a berry bush, they beamed and walked over, they first scanned the berries, squinting their eyes, not wanting to take a big risk.

---------------------------------------------------------

“Ah, perfect, (Y/N), these are blueberries, so they won’t be harmful to consume” Eclipse spoke, and then set you down onto the ground finally, there were plenty you could reach and well sure, you enjoyed the animatronic helping you every once in awhile…

---------------------------------------------------------

You had also made it clear to, well, Sun more so, but even Eclipse knew probably at this point, they didn’t want you to think they thought of you as helpless because they didn’t, either way, you quickly got to work on chowing down on some of the blueberries you could reach meanwhile Eclipse had walked over to a clearing in the forest that was now surrounding the ruins of The Mega Pizzaplex and they held out their hand, holding it in the sunlight.

-------------------------------------------------------

Eclipse smiled, a happy smile, just feeling the warmth of the sunlight and looking at all there was to the outside world, when you had glanced over at them you noticed they looked so happy, so content and it made you smile happily, you were so glad to see, well Sun and Moon at peace, but you supposed now you had a new friend to get used to, after all, Eclipse was clearly their own being, they had their own thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

---------------------------------------------------------

But considering how things were going, you could definitely already feel yourself growing attached to them and they seemed attached to you as well all on their own, which made you happy, as you continued chowing down on the blueberries until you were full, Eclipse had just been enjoying the outside world and having a blast, skipping around and just inspecting the plant life.

--------------------------------------------------

You smiled as you watched them, despite the state they were in along with The Mega Pizzaplex, they didn’t seem to feel too bad about it, you wished faintly you could repair them, but even if you had the smarts to repair them, your size gave you too much of a disadvantage here, there was no way you could safely repair them, you faintly wished you had one of your friends here to help.

---------------------------------------------------------

…And then suddenly, you were grabbed, not too tightly but more so just scooped up, you gasped and your eyes widened, you flailed around, trying to get out of whoever’s hands had just snatched you up. You were about to scream before a voice that was familiar to you called out, one that you haven’t heard in oh so long… “Woah, woah…! Take it easy, just chill…!” You blinked in surprise, as you turned to look up and face them and your eyes were wide with disbelief and shock.

----------------------------------------------------------

“(F-F/N)?!” You called out in shock, and they grinned down at you “Well, I’m surprised you still remember me, (Y/N), it’s been AGES! And you… You’re um, small now, a LOT smaller…” You punched their fist “You scared me half to death, you fucker! Don’t EVER do that again…!” And they laughed a little “O-Okay! Okay! I’m sorry…! I’m sorry…! Yeesh, you’re still the same as ever, you haven’t changed a bit~” They apologized and held you in their hands in a careful manner, a grin on their face which caused you to huff a bit but you couldn’t hide the smile on your face as you sighed.

--------------------------------------------------------------

“...What are you even doing here, (F/N)? I… I… I thought I’d never see you again” And then your old friend smiled “I thought the same, you’ve been missing for ages, although I guess now I can understand why, heh… …I just… I really missed you, a lot” You sighed and nodded, hugging one of their fingers since that’s all you could do “...I missed you too…” And before either of you could say anything more.

---------------------------------------------

Eclipse’s voice chimed up, and you heard footsteps, sure they were limping but it sounded like they were running back over “(Y/N)! Are you alright?! I sensed you suddenly became distressed, did a wild animal get after-” And they cut themselves off as they slowly came to a stop when they saw you in someone else’s hands, in fact you and your friend’s eyes widened, and your friend immediately chimed in, holding you a bit protectively “W-Woah! Wh-What the heck is that…?!”

-------------------------------------------------

You could see Eclipse staring in a distrustful manner and well your friend looked like they had seen a ghost and so to keep this situation from escalating you quickly spoke up, clapping your hands together to get the animatronic and your friend’s attention “Stop! Stop! It’s alright, it’s alright…! Both of you…!” You looked toward Eclipse and smiled happily before looking back up at your friend, you quickly introduced the two of them, Eclipse to your friend and then your friend to Eclipse, the two still stared at each other a bit mistrustingly but you sighed.

--------------------------------------------------------

You then quickly explained the situation as best you could to your friend, and they seemed to nod and listen and finally, they relaxed a little bit, taking a deep breath and sighing “...Okay, so, this… Erm, Eclipse… And uh, Sun and Moon, they are… I know Sun and Moon were The Daycare Attendants before this place caught fire and went down… …So I guess uh, Eclipse is the new one then, and you say that… They’ve been taking care of you all this time?” You nodded at your friend’s words “Yep, that’s pretty much the gist of it anyways, the basics”

----------------------------------------------------

Your friend took a moment before sighing “...You know, this seems crazy but considering I’m holding you in my hands right now and you're tiny, I can’t really say that’s too far-fetched…” Your friend then walked over to Eclipse and carefully handed you over. Eclipse was looking at them still a bit untrusting but your friend held out a hand “Well, we already know each other’s names, but uh, I… Don’t wanna get on your bad side, Eclipse, I’m sorry for uh, startling you and (Y/N), but I’m not a threat, just chillax”

---------------------------------------------------------

Eclipse took their hand, carefully, and shook it and well, they seemed to scan them, as best they could, sure their scanner wasn’t the best but they could at least register your friend as to not forget them before hey perked up a bit more and smiled in a friendly manner “Well, it’s nice to… Meet you… But, how did you find this place? Or, more importantly, (Y/N)...?” Eclipse questioned, now seeming more curious rather than distrusting of your friend which you were relieved about of course.

----------------------------------------------------

Your friend looked at Eclipse and shrugged “Honestly, I was just coming here to uh see the forest and such, I find it peaceful out here, helps me draw and heh, I might’ve found my inspiration with you two…” They then looked back to you and smiled “...I really am glad to see you again, (Y/N)... It’s been so long, too damn long” You sighed and nodded at that “...Yeah, it really has, I missed you too…” Your friend smiled happily at that.

--------------------------------------------------------

And then they turned their attention back to Eclipse, looking them up and down before chiming in “...Although… Eclipse here is looking a little… …Okay, a lot damaged, if you both want…” They slowly began.

------------------------------------------------

“And this is totally not just an excuse to stick around and hang out and catch up with you, (Y/N) but… I’m sure you remembered I studied robotics way back, and I STILL know a good amount about ‘em, animatronics included, if Eclipse even wants, I could repair them…” And then before you could speak up, Eclipse perked up instantly and got a bit TOO close to your friend for their comfort there “R-Really…?! You can actually repair us…?!”

------------------------------------------------------

You and your friend both couldn’t help but smile at Eclipse’s enthusiasm, and your friend chimed in happily “Of course…! I don’t mean to brag but I’m pretty skilled when it comes to repairing robots and such, I can have you fixed up in no time!” They exclaimed, and this seemed to excite Eclipse, they held you with one hand and used their free hand to stim, just flailing it and even jumping in place practically “Oh thank you thank you thank you new friend…! This will be just wonderful…!”

-------------------------------------------------

You were smiling and looked to your friend who then spoke “I’ll need to go get some supplies though, which might take a while, and I’m sure even with the remains of The Mega Pizzaplex, I’m sure there’s still some stuff in there that isn’t damaged that can help” Your friend then said they’d be back in a little bit and waved to both you and Eclipse before quickly heading off to gather up some supplies and materials.

-------------------------------------------------------

You looked up toward Eclipse and smiled “I guess you’re excited to get fixed up, huh?” Eclipse nodded enthusiastically “Yep! I hope your friend is able to repair me at least well enough to where I won’t limp when I walk and I don’t have as many jagged edges, after all, I don’t wanna accidentally hurt you, starshine”

--------------------------------------------------------

You smiled and gently patted their hand “Yeah, it’ll be okay, we can wait for ‘em here, I don’t mind eating blueberries for the time being if I wind up getting hungry again” Eclipse nodded and then decided to wait in that spot for your friend as they set you down, you two would talk, and since Eclipse was still fairly new to you, you two talked and got to know each other better, sometimes Sun and Moon would be allowed to pop out briefly to talk to you but it seems like they couldn’t fully stay in control for too long before Eclipse would come back.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Which then prompted Eclipse to ask, tapping his fingers nervously together “...Hey… (Y/N)? …You… Aren’t upset at me because Sun and Moon can’t fully be present right now, right? I… I know I’m new to you, and I already know how much you value and care for Sun and Moon, so… I’m not… In the way, right?” Eclipse could hear Sun and Moon in their head, just saying his name in a saddened manner and…

------------------------------------------------------------

Your heart broke a little at hearing that and you quickly stood up from your spot, you might’ve been tiny but you were NOT having that “Eclipse…! Don’t you dare even think that way!” Eclipse got startled by your yelling even if it wasn’t the loudest, they looked down at you surprised.

----------------------------------------------------------

“You’re not in the way at all, and you won’t EVER be in the way! I… I know we’ve only known each other for a short while but, I care about you all the same too, I care for you the same way I care for Sun and Moon, and maybe… My friend can find a way where you can all co-exist, like, you can take over sometimes without it being so straining, Sun can, and then Moon can so we can all equally spend time together” Eclipse smiled slightly at that, they reached down to gently pat your head.

------------------------------------------------------

“...Thank you, starshine… …I’m… Glad you feel that way, I care about you as well, the same way Sun and Moon do, you’re my little starshine…!” Eclipse beamed as they picked you up again, nuzzling their faceplate albeit EXTREMELY carefully against your face “...We love you, all three of us do” Sun, Moon’s, and Eclipse’s voice seemed to layer over one another when they said they loved you, and you smiled happily, blushing slightly “...I love all of you too…” You hugged Eclipse’s faceplate as best you could given your tiny size.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

And then finally your friend came back and called out “Hey guys, I found some spare parts and some stuff still functioning, just barely but it’s enough to repair Eclipse” And then you smiled over at your friend and so did Eclipse who happily approached, limping of course due to their leg “Really? You think whatever’s still functioning in the Pizzaplex will work long enough?”

------------------------------------------------------

Your friend had nodded “Yeah it should but we better hurry and get started just in case” And then you chimed up “Hey, (F/N)? Do you think you can like… Make it to where Sun, Moon, and Eclipse can be in control? Like, where they can take control whenever one of them wants to?”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Eclipse then spoke up “Sort of like how Sun and Moon did, whenever the lights were on, Sun was out, when they went out then Moon could come out …B-But um, maybe let’s… NOT make it as forced as that, please” And your friend seemed to think about it momentarily before speaking up with a grin “I’ll see what I can do, c’mon, let’s go” They gestured and so, Eclipse with you in their hands, followed your friend back into The Mega Pizzaplex, and you watched as they led Eclipse to one of those weird looking computers and had them sit down, there were various parts for rebuilding him scattered around.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Your friend got to work right away while Eclipse set you down, in a place where they could keep an eye on you of course, your friend had said this might take a few hours and so you nodded, you decided to take a nap in the meantime and Eclipse seemed to sense this and so they tried to activate their music box …It… Didn’t sound well at all, the music was distorted and would glitch out, so Eclipse just shut it off, dejected, your friend then spoke up “Hey, don’t worry about it bud, I’ll fix you up a new music box in no time, I’ll even add more songs then what your current one probably has”

-------------------------------------------------------------- You could see a mischievous glint in your friend’s eye as you laid down, you called up to them “Don’t put anything vulgar in their music box…!” And your friend scoffed, looking down at your tiny form “Oh c’monnn (Y/N)...” And then Eclipse spoke up “U-Um, yes please, don’t… Put anything vulgar or nasty in my music box” And then your friend had sighed and stuck out their tongue playfully “...Hmph… You two are NO fun, such party poopers”

--------------------------------------------------------------

And Eclipse gasped in mock offense at that “How dare you, I am NO party pooper…! You know, I may not be Sun or Moon but I can STILL put you in timeout” And this caused your friend to chuckle “If you put me in timeout though… You won’t have anyone to fix youuu~” They teased.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Eclipse opened their mouth with a finger pointed out, but then they thought about it before huffing “...Touché” And then that was the end of that, as you slowly closed your eyes, listening to the sounds of animatronic noises, whirring, clicking, and rather broken sounds along with the occasional tinkering of your friend fixing Eclipse, you slowly but surely fell asleep for awhile…

-----------------------------------------------------------------

…Some hours passed, and eventually, you felt something nudging you gently, you grumbled “...Mm, five more minutes…” …You felt yourself getting nudged again and you grumbled, swatting at whatever it was, still in your half-asleep daze “Gimme an hourrr…” You complained, and then suddenly, something snatched you, you yelped and your eyes shot open at the sudden loud voice “RISE AND SHINE, MY LITTLE SUNBEAM~!”

--------------------------------------------------------------------

You cringed at the loud voice, your tiny ears ringing, you knew that was Sun and when you opened your eyes you gasped, the animatronic was still dressed like earlier, with Moon’s cap on, some rays sticking out, and then the combination of Sun and Moon’s pants but their faceplate no longer damaged, their leg completely fixed up, they looked brand new.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Your eyes practically sparkled and you hugged Sun’s finger oh so tightly “S-Sunny!” You were excited as Sun was fully in control for a moment and the animatronic gently hugged you to himself “Yep! It’s me, my little sunbeam! And hey hey hey! That’s not all, watch this!” Sun’s head suddenly spun around, and then before you knew it, Moon’s quiet and calm voice spoke, which made you wish he had been the one to wake you up so you hadn’t had that mini heart attack but still “Hello my little starlight…”

-----------------------------------------------------

You smiled happily up at him, still hugging onto his finger “Moony…” He smiled down at you, his teeth razor sharp but he didn’t scare you obviously, and then finally, Moon’s head spun around this time, a few more times then what Sun’s had done, and then you could hear the combination, the mixture… Eclipse “My little starshine…! We’re all fixed up…! And we can take control whenever we want to! No day or night cycles, we’re all in control” You smiled happily at that “That’s good, I’m glad you don’t have to be forced to change whether the lights go out or not…”

--------------------------------------------------------

And then your friend piped up “And lest we not forget the person who fixed them up by the way” They chuckled, crossing their arms, you turned over to them and smiled happily up at them, and before you could react, Eclipse pulled your friend into a nearly bone crushing hug “Thank you thank you thank you…!” They kept repeating, your friend was coughing and wheezing a bit “I-It’s nice th-that you’re so happy but… E-Eclipse, your… crushing… me…” Eclipse gasped and let up on their hold “Oh dear, so sorry new friend…!” The three of you stood there, well, since you were so tiny, you sat in the palm of Eclipse’s hand and your friend just held their hand near you.

------------------------------------------------------------

…It was a bit awkward but it was the only way given your small stature, and then your friend smirked mischievously “Oh and, by the way… Eclipse… Don’t you have something you wanna say to (Y/N)~?” They spoke teasingly, and Eclipse’s rays didn’t spin like Sun’s but rather, they retracted in and out like pistons and you could hear the whirring sounds of the animatronic’s fans as they suddenly seemed incredibly flustered “I-I…! H-Hey now, you-you-you… Shush…!” Your friend was about to open their mouth again and tease some more but Eclipse quickly slapped a hand over their mouth “Shshsh! Sh! …Shush…! Shoosh-”

------------------------------------------------------------------

You blinked in confusion as you looked toward Eclipse “...Eclipse…? What are they talking about exactly?” Eclipse stuttered some before shaking their head “Nothing, my little starshine…!” You squinted your eyes “Eclipse…” The animatronic shook their head, and then they could feel their head forcibly trying to spin and Eclipse shook their head again “No…! Stop…! Sun, Moon…! You are all conspiring against me, rrgh…!” You were completely confused at this point.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Your friend kept trying to pry Eclipse’s hand from their mouth, much to no avail as the animatronic was a lot stronger than any human, however, Eclipse also had Sun and Moon even working against him, and you finally spoke up “...Eclipse? C’mon, what is it…? What do you want to tell me?” Eclipse knew neither Sun nor Moon nor even your friend would leave this alone and so they sigh, deciding to try and gather up the courage, they released your friend’s mouth and turned away, they were clearly flustered or embarrassed or both even.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Eclipse had also grabbed something that you couldn’t see at first, and as the animatronic gathered up their courage for a few moments, probably being cheered on by Sun and Moon and even your friend got serious, telling them they had this, and then finally you watched as Eclipse stood up straight and turned around, holding their hands behind their back as they stepped closer to you “Okay…! (Y/N)...! I-I have something I-I need to… To… Tell you…”

-------------------------------------------------------------

You nodded, gesturing for Eclipse to go on and they still seemed incredibly flustered as their fans whirred loudly.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I-I… M-Much like Sun and Moon has done… I-I wish to… U-Um…” Eclipse was beginning to lose their nerve and you gently reached out and patted their hand “It’s okay, Eclipse… Whatever you need to tell me, I’m listening” Eclipse then sighed “...M-Much like… Sun and Moon has done… I-I would um, uh, like, I would really like to… Take you out o-on a… A date…”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Your face turned red immediately as Eclipse held out a tiny paper bouquet and you could hear Eclipse’s fans whirring loudly, they seemed incredibly flustered “I-It’s alright if y-you don’t want to yet! I-I can wait, and e-even if you never want-”

------------------------------------------------------------------------

You smiled happily up at them, and you gently took the paper bouquet, admiring the cute paper-craft flowers in your hands before answering so Eclipse didn’t spiral “...Y-Yes… I-I’d like that a lot actually…” And then Eclipse looked like they were going to explode with excitement, they hugged you close, almost too tightly by accident “Oh thank you thank you thank you! This makes me so happy…! I-I know we haven’t got much left here in the ruins of The Mega Pizzaplex but… I-I’ve set something up for us…!” And then Eclipse began to carry you somewhere.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Eclipse also held a hand over your eyes when you asked what they set up, they smiled “It’s a surprise, silly~! You’ll just need to wait, my little starshine” And so you did, you waited in Eclipse’s hands and eventually the animatronic stopped and you were impatiently excited “C’moooon Eclipse, lemme see already” They giggled a little at you and huffed playfully “Gosh, so impatient…! You know patience is a virtue” And then you scoffed playfully back “Eclipse…” You playfully warned and they laughed “Alright, alright, my little starshine”

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Eclipse then finally lifted their hand from your eyes and you gasped, while the room and pretty much everything was still dilapidated and ruined obviously, Eclipse had set up a table with a clean cloth thankfully, probably something your friend had gotten, and there was even some food, well, food for you anyways as Eclipse couldn’t eat anything being a robot and all.

----------------------------------------------------------

It was even cut up enough to accommodate your tiny size, there was candles that dimly lit the area and there was also some fake flowers that wouldn’t wilt thankfully in a vase, Eclipse brought you over to the table and set you down “I-I hope it’s to your liking, (Y/N)” They seemed nervous.

-----------------------------------------------------

You smiled happily and had a few tears in your eyes at what all they did for you “...It’s… Really nice, Eclipse, thank you…” And then Eclipse sat down, in one of the chairs and watched as you began to eat, they then spoke “Your friend had brought the food by the way, since um, well… You know, the food wouldn’t be safe for human consumption from the ruins of The Mega Pizzaplex”

-------------------------------------------------------

Eclipse explained, and you were thankful for that, and for a few moments, it fell silent, Eclipse seemingly trying to keep their courage on this little date with you.

---------------------------------------------------------

You smiled as you ate “The food’s really good honestly” Eclipse nods, seeming relieved that you enjoyed it, they honestly didn’t have… Any idea how a date worked, aside from the typical dinner thing and talking to get to know each other, which Eclipse decided to start off with first, getting to know you better.

---------------------------------------------------

Since they WERE their own being, they didn’t have Sun nor Moon’s thoughts or memories, they had their own, you also got to know them in return, it was interesting that despite being in the same body, they were all different, their own thoughts, feelings, sentience.

------------------------------------------------------------------

You listened to Eclipse as they talked about what they liked doing which was taking care of children and arts and crafts and you laughed “Well, you might all be different, but your hobbies are still the same” Eclipse laughs a little and nods “Well, yeah, that’s just in all of our programming, after all, we ARE The Daycare Attendants, but, I um, actually really do like art, I like to draw, not just uh, silly looking pictures” You perked up at that and smiled warmly “...Ya know, I’d love to see your drawings then one day, if you don’t mind”

--------------------------------------------------------------

Eclipse smiles now, seeming happy about that, their rays somewhat pushing in and out, then they nod “...I’ll show you someday then, (Y/N)” And then you finally finished eating, you sighed, and leaned back, you were definitely full now, you commented about how good the food was and then Eclipse’s rays spin happily “I’m so glad you enjoyed the food, my little starshine…! But, that’s not all”

-----------------------------------------------

And then they stood up, approaching your tiny form slowly, before gently reaching down and scooping you up into their hands, their hands were no longer damaged so they didn’t have to worry about accidentally scratching you anymore.

---------------------------------------------------

You were confused and yet curious “Oh? What’s next then?” Eclipse grins happily “You’ll see…~!” They beam, as they begin walking off, as they were walking, your friend caught both of your attention first “Yo, I gotta head home for a bit…! I gotta go set some stuff up… But, I’ll be back later sometime, you two enjoy your date!” You smiled and waved your friend goodbye, as did Eclipse, and with that your friend headed off meanwhile Eclipse continued on, continuing to carry you to another section of The Mega Pizzaplex, what remained of it anyways.

--------------------------------------------------------------

You knew deep down that you, Eclipse, Sun, and Moon couldn’t stay here forever, but for now, you wanted to enjoy the place you all so fondly remember, or at least care about to some extent, sure, there were also some scary memories here but for the most part, the good ones far outweighed the bad.

-------------------------------------------------

And then Eclipse led you to a quiet, completely secluded place of The Mega Pizzaplex, no worry, no threat of any potential roaming animatronics that were still functioning, it was also the most tidy section so you figured Eclipse and your friend had tidied this part up.

----------------------------------------------------

And then, you saw that, inside the room, there was a blanket fort of clean pillows and well, blankets, there was a buncha plushies around as well, string lights in the shape of stars, and then a monitor of sorts was set up inside and it looked so cozy, you looked up at Eclipse who looked down at you with a warm smile “...I um, got this set up, with the help of your friend, I figured we could sit up late and watch some movies together…! They downloaded some onto the computer there”

--------------------------------------------------

You smiled happily up at Eclipse “...It looks… Really cozy, although hey… How did you convince Moon to let us ‘sit up late’?” Eclipse then pauses, they look a bit sheepish now.

---------------------------------------------------------------

And well, Moon takes over to answer for them “...Rrr… As much as I want you to get your sleep, starlight… …JUST this once… …I’m allowing it, but NO later than past twelve am… And I’ll know if Eclipse breaks that rule” And then Eclipse is back in control and they gasp in offense “Moon…! How dare you, you-you-you even INSINUATE that I am a rule breaker…!”

-------------------------------------------------------

And you laughed at their shenanigans before shaking your head “Alright, alright, no need to fight… No later than midnight, got it” And well this must’ve pleased Moon enough to let it be, and then Eclipse carries your tiny form into the blanket fort, closing the little blanket behind you both to keep it comfortable and warm.

------------------------------------------------------

Eclipse then sets you down on one of the comfortable pillows, walking over to the computer and pulling up the selection of movies, they then looked back at you “I’ll let you choose the movie, (Y/N) we got a lotta genres to choose from” You nod and look up at the screen in front of you, thinking on your decision, before a movie or two caught your eye, and you pointed “Emm, the Lion King sounds good, can… We watch both, one and two?”

-----------------------------------------------------

Eclipse smiles and nods “Of course my little starshine” And they boot up the movie and they walk back over and lay down next to you, getting comfortable, you also get comfortable inside the blanket fort.

----------------------------------------------------------

And as the movie begins you two sit lay there, surrounded by the warmth of the blanket fort and surroundings pillows, Eclipse had thankfully been considerate of your small stature since well, a normal sized pillow, you’d wind up sinking into it so they had prepared this place accordingly, the peaceful color of the lights made you feel relaxed, and as Eclipse gazed over at you, their fans began to whirr slightly, their rays popping in and out quietly as they saw the peaceful and happy expression on your face, seeing the way your skin glows in the lighting.

----------------------------------------------------------------

They can’t help it as they say what they're thinking out loud  “...You look… Wonderful, (Y/N)” Eclipse compliments, before realizing they had said that out loud just now, they look away almost immediately, incredibly flustered “I-I MEAN…!” They suddenly stumble out, flustered.

-----------------------------------------------------------

You looked over at them, a blush on your face at Eclipse’s sudden words but a genuine and gentle smile graces your lips “...Thank you, Eclipse, I… I’m glad you think so” You giggle softly, amused by their flustered nature so suddenly, you sigh and look back at the screen, watching the scenes play out, you had fallen silent for a moment before speaking up “...I’m really glad… We got to meet” Eclipse looks back over at you, nodding slowly.

---------------------------------------------------------------

“...Yeah, even though it hasn’t been long, I’m glad as well” And then you smirked a little bit, speaking up teasingly “Yeah, you must be pretty glad considering that well, we’ve just met for like a day now, and your already taking me on a date”

---------------------------------------------------------

Eclipse looks incredibly flustered as they pull the nightcap down, hiding their face at that “Ghh! W-Well, oh… Oh, you hush…” They speak, clearly too flustered to respond to that, they tell you to just continue watching the movie, grumbling softly, and you laugh at that, finding their reaction to your words sweet, charming even.

--------------------------------------------------

Before you relent and then turn back to watch the movie playing on TV, and that’s what the two of you did, you watched the first movie, occasionally chatting and conversing but not too much as to not interrupt it, and then you both moved onto the second movie.

------------------------------------------------------

You were having a fun time with Eclipse, so far, the night passed on, and slowly but surely, you could feel yourself beginning to grow tired, you yawned slightly, luckily for you it was near the end of the movie by the time you were getting tired, you turn toward Eclipse, and you smile warmly up at them “...You know… I had… A really fun time today Eclipse, in the short amount of time we’ve spent together, I won’t deny… …I feel the same way toward you as I do Sun and Moon” Eclipse perks up at that, they’re rays popping in and out and they seemed flustered but genuinely appreciative.

----------------------------------------------

“...Thank you… …I’ve had a really great time with you as well, I… I really do love you, my little starshine” And this made you blush, your cheeks felt warm, and not only that but you felt butterflies in your stomach, you sit up and gesture for them to pick you up bring you toward their faceplate, they reach down and gently grasp your tiny form in the palm of their hands, holding you with the utmost care and gentleness.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

They lift you up to their faceplate and then without hesitation, you give them a kiss, Eclipse’s rays jut out suddenly and you can hear their fans and motorized parts going crazy which causes you to laugh.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Eclipse then gently nudges you with they’re faceplate, making a little kiss sound back and your blush darkens at that, you two share a few minutes of silence together, just gazing into one another’s eyes affectionately, the two of you could tell that this was the start of something wonderful, and well you could already feel it, much like you did with Sun and Moon, you were falling in love with Eclipse too, after the movie had ended.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Eclipse turns the computer off, letting the glow of the star string lights just illuminate the comfortable blanket fort, and then they gently lay you down on the comfortable spot, on the soft pillow, letting you get comfortable.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Before Eclipse grabs a blanket that’s your size, they gently put it over you and tuck your tiny form in, they smile down at you “...Alright, it’s time to get some sleep… After all… Moon is going to be v e r y angry if I keep you up past your bedtime” You chuckled a little at that and nodded.

---------------------------------------------------------------

You sigh, cozy and comfortable with Eclipse sitting beside you, you look up to the giant animatronic, and you can see them push some sort of button on their body, and then, soft and gentle music begins to play, it sounds like a music box of some sort, and then, Sun finally takes over, taking the nightcap off momentarily “Goodnight our little sunbeam”

-----------------------------------------------------------

And then he puts it back on, and you can see Moon come out, those familiar eyes casting a soft blue glow on your body “Goodnight our little starlight… Get your rest”

----------------------------------------------------------

And then of course, finally Eclipse comes back “...Goodnight, our little starshine…” You smile happily and yawn, slowly beginning to close your eyes as you tell Eclipse and the others goodnight “...I love you all…” You mumble before falling into a deep and peaceful sleep for the night.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(holy shit this took so long to do gjkfdjfkd i've been HELLA procrastinating- ...okay that and also technically playing viddy games ...and drawing)

BTW- uh this is the third and final bit to the Sun n Moon x Tiny Reader I did! both are on my A03 for easier access and this one will be on my a03 as well- the link to that is in my pinned post

I really don't understand what Eclipse thinks he's going to get out of threatening/grilling Ruin for answers. Every time Eclipse has confronted Ruin, he gets the same exact answers every time. At this point, I'm fairly certain Ruin is at least 90% innocent.

I feel like pinning the blame on Ruin gives Eclipse something to look for in an otherwise dead end search. If Ruin had something to hide, I'm sure he would have slipped up a little by now. As of now, Eclipse is just repeating his actions over and over again and expecting a different result, which isn't happening. If he were to get an answer out of Ruin, it would have been when he was kidnapped and there was a threat on his life.

Ah…

… I had blissfully forgotten about Nozomi.

Got blood drawn today, thus these ideas

They're all the SAME ANIMATRONIC-

[themyscirah]

Okay so basically the United States MINT of all people is going to be working with DC to make a line of coins! These coins sadly won't be in circulation (the things I would do to live in a world where I could get Batman coins from the supermarket) as they're collectors coins, but will be releasing over the course of the next 3 years, 2025-2027.

Designs haven't been released yet (the same is true for all 2025 designs) but we know there will be 9 coins in total (3 each year) with the first year featuring (of course!!!) Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

Although we know the first three heroes to be featured, the remaining six have yet to be decided, and it turns out the Mint is putting out a survey on their site to gauge which of a group of culturally significant heroes people want to see most! (link to the form is mentioned in the article above)

The considered group includes: Supergirl, the Flash, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Captain Marvel, John Stewart GL, Aquaman, Hawkman, Jamie Reyes BB, Robin (Damian?), Cyborg, and Batgirl, of which 6 will be selected.

As someone who does a bit of coin collecting myself (mainly circulation coins like the quarters sets, but I also have a couple proof and collectors coins) I think this is a really cool and interesting idea that showcases the history of the comics medium and these characters and their influence on American culture. Really excited to wait and see what the designs look like for the coins already announced!

Having so much fun with sb ruin, we haven't run into ANY major glitches never mind game breaking ones, and we've just done the new daycare section. Spoilers if you haven't got that far and want to play it, but I had some thoughts about Eclipse.

Now eclipse is something that's been in the fandom for a while, I think before even the balloon boy game was found, but it's never really been canon? I don't think the name ever appeared in game, but previously the only depiction of some secret third personality in the daycare attendant was the strange purple glitch in the minigame that revealed a red black glowing sun face with red eyes. It was all very threatening and spooky, and you are in a horror game after all (supposedly), so of course people imagined eclipse to be some ultra terrifying final line of defence for the daycare or the pizzaplex as a whole. Tall. Aggressive. Clever. Comes with a whole colour change to match, the way sun and moon do.

But ruin showed a completely different Eclipse! He (they? It?) was clear of mind (mostly, he was convinced the plex was running as normal), kind, and safe! He even gently dropped cassie off outside the play area! Even sun in sb physically threw us out in fury lmao. His eyes glowed different colours, his ARMS glowed different colours (that would have been so cool in sb), he had the rays and cap at the same time!

But why? What reason was eclipse programmed? In the daycare, there wouldn't have been any reason for him.

Well, there's the theory that sun and moon weren't originally created for the daycare, at least not solely. Instead, it's highly possible that they were made for the theatre next door.

Why? Well, for one, their design. Sun and moon are dressed like jesters, with bright colours and stripes, baggy trousers, curled toe slippers, and bells and ribbons on every limb. They bob and move in a way designed to jingle, with very long and articulate joints, even their head has a huge range of motion compared to the other animatronics. In fact, pretty much everything BUT their face is very expressive. It's as if they were designed to be seen at a distance. Exposed wires on the back of their head too, something none of the other animatronics have (being grabbed and hugged and climbed by kids all day, that's dangerous! To both them and the animatronics!)

The theatre, too, is designed and fitted for live performances. Though it is mostly a movie theatre now with a giant screen, there was still that badly programmed staff bot comedian (both in the game setting and its actual coding lmao) and the entire backstage area with dressing rooms, abandoned set pieces and undressed endos. The sun and moon faces are the theatre masks of joy and sorrow at its entrance. It's very likely sun and moon were originally intended to be the main actors, playing both villain and hero roles and saving the company a LOT of money in the long run, not paying for lead actors every day.

So what does this have to do with eclipse?

In the daycare, his presence makes little sense, but as a theatre performer, it would have been invaluable. Instead of making the character unbalanced in one direction, eclipse could have served as narrator, ringmaster, ambassador, he would have been the one bowing after a show, the one talking to parents, handing out flyers and merch, all the stuff you need to front that kind of show.

For one, it puts sun and moon on equal levels as all their marketing does, rather than sun being pretty much the sole worker. It allows them to act and be seen as two parts of a whole, rather than sun (and his evil counterpart). Eclipse is unbothered by changes in light, moving from the bright spotlights that crippled moon into total darkness that overrode dun in sb. From a production standpoint, eclipse is ideal to work with, the best parts of sun and moon.

But why sell one lot of merch when you could sell two? Make it a set?

And when they were repurposed to the daycare attendant, there wasn't much use for a third personality at all. Maybe behind the curtains, down in parts and services, maybe some niche situations. But without merch, without need, with the animatronic still in use, common knowledge of the eclipse program dissipated like mist.

All except for sun and moon and one broken arcade machine.

Went on a camping trip down to south Florida, starting in the everglades

We were looking for snakes and American crocodiles, but we did find this day moth and tree snail

Plus a couple nocturnal critters settling down for a nice days sleep

Lots of high quality birds in the swamp

Saw frigate birds in the Dry Tortugas, but they mostly hung motionless and effortlessly high in the air like low poly videogame background birds

Had to flee back north early ahead of Nikole. Managed to catch a glimpse of this bark anole when we stopped for breakfast, but all the iguanas were hiding.

Tons of introduced rock agamas calling this gas station home, and a nearby rooster hung out with a flock of grackles. Was hoping to see more exotic reptiles around Miami, but perhaps another time.

C’mon Moon and Solar, you wanted this. Wear your King Douche crowns with pride!

Moon, you wanted to be the over-paranoid asshole and blame Ruin just because he’s the outlier of the family. And Solar, you went right along with Moon’s stupid ass idea to blame Ruin and not just look for the obvious answer of Ruin does not have magic for Eclipse’s magic to be tied to.

Now you get live with your choices and any and all lost trust you receive from Ruin! Isn’t it fun to ruin your trust with others for absolutely no reason?

STEEL WOOLS I FUCKING LOVE YOU

[inkyucu]

So... You know that whole thing where I talked about how I easily could make a comic but I'm not? Well... I decided to favorite all of the pictures just to give me a perspective on how many there were and uh....

Considering most of these are the drawings for this specific idea, I think I'm in too deep.

(Said post I was talking about)

i will hold on to you for as long as you let me — megumi fushiguro x mom!reader, satoru gojo x reader

a/n: sorryyy the fushiguro-gojo family dynamic was rotting my brain and i needed this out of my system. LOTS of projection of my fear of growing up in this one soz. this was fully meant to be a drabble and it just kept going idk wc: 3.1k angst/fluff. mom!reader has a lot of bittersweet thoughts about megumi growing up and satoru is there to comfort <3 lots of parentheses and lots of repetition

you put on a brave face all day. all week, even. despite the burn in your chest that engulfed your lungs and squeezed unrelentingly. despite the tears that burned the corners of your eyes delicately balancing on the your waterline, one blink away from breaking the surface density and opening the floodgates to pour down your cheeks. despite the non-stop ache of your stomach, churning what you ate every day but still holding the same emptiness as anxiety consumed you.

megumi didn’t pack much, he never held on to many things to begin with. (you always prayed for that to change, for his comfort your home. you prayed he would see it as his own, as well). he neatly folded his clothes into his suitcases and stacked his hangers on top. he purchased a new sheet set for his bed in the dormitory because the one he was used to was much bigger, much softer. 

he packed most of his books, carefully picking out the ones that tugged at the nostalgic parts of him, frayed along the edges after many years of re-reading, as well the ones that still had vibrant covers and stiff spines he hoped to finish. you noticed the leather journal he kept tied together– the ink-blotted pages bursting at the seams –sitting on the shelf before he tucked it into his box of personal belongings. it was his third one since living with you, all filled to every last page and used beyond ruin. the rest were hidden between his headboard and the wall. you pretended not to know, after stumbling upon them while changing his sheets.

closing the door to your home felt eerily empty. it looked the same as every day. the couch was cleaned and the floors swept. dishes rinsed and promptly put away. but with your lingering gaze your mind fixated on the dining table set for four, two adult pairs of shoes at the door, one pink backpack slumped on the hook of the closet door with an empty space below. your chest twisted at the lack of clutter, though it’d been like that for some time, with tsumiki and megumi growing older and cleaning up after themselves properly like you taught them. like you wanted. the pride you initially felt with those memories of parenting were becoming eclipsed with resentment and despair.

the ride to school was quick and familiar, megumi knew well what he was getting into after visiting there to train. satoru liked to call them little getaways from megumi’s civilian life, claiming he wasted too much time around non-sorcerers when he could be on missions with his ever-loving benefactor instead.

satoru, who was whining while he laid himself across the three seats in the back of your car. you’d banished him there for such a special occasion, and he threatened to transport himself to the school alone. an empty threat, at best. he didn’t want to miss this. 

megumi had sparred with the older students and found himself thrown around the field many times already. he knew his way to the infirmary by heart, he knew where gojo tucked away his most powerful curse-imbued weapons (that were supposed to be under the surveillance of higher ups), and knew what letter-number combination granted him the ginger chips nobody else seemed to like. 

you were glad he was comfortable. you were glad he would fall into routine easily after the repeated trips to jujutsu high and developing a rapport with his upperclassmen. you’d waited for the day that he’d truly be part of the jujutsu world and welcomed into a better suited environment for people like him. and you knew he would be great, he already possessed an incredible technique and wielded it like he’d been fine-tuning it since birth. far ahead from most kids his age, you were proud.

still, your gut was sinking, sinking, sinking into the floor with each passing second.

megumi picked his room in one of the far-away corners of the boys dormitory, leaving inumaki and panda heartbroken (panda said he would find a way to organize sleepover. megumi said he would drop out before that happened. inumaki cried– no, wailed at the rejection). yuuta fell into step with you, slipping one of the boxes out of your hands and insisting on helping instead. it was sweet, if it didn’t feel like he was ripping precious time away from you.

but you smiled, and granted his wish. megumi wasn’t complaining, he liked yuuta more than the others. it was a good chance for them to talk more. all of this, a chance, a new chapter, the rest of his life. the thoughts weighed on your shoulders with a disgusting strain traveling to your fingertips.

you were painfully aware you were in your own head, doing this all to yourself. he wasn’t going away, you would still be seeing him, more than you used to when he went to his other schools. he would always be here.

satoru found you in your classroom, while you were organizing the stationary with an unnaturally stiff composure. your arms were tense, he could see the muscles constantly flexing with each of your movements.

your jaw was clenching and unclenching again. you made a point not to look outside, where the second-years were training brashly after successfully moving their things back into their dorms. you made a point not to meet satoru’s dangerous stare as he shut the door to your classroom, as if it granted any privacy with the seven large windows running along the wall that showcased the hallway. 

“what are you doing all by yourself, beautiful?” his tone was soft and inviting, begging you to open up and let yourself fall against the cushion of his words. 

“um,” you exhaled, voice shaky. you scrunched your face to break apart the tension that had hardened your expression. “i figured i would get a few things ready for tomorrow.”

it took satoru’s long legs two-and-a-half strides to meet you at your desk, where you gently shut the drawer. there were a handful of dated photographs in there, signed with his name and the chicken scratch of two children. 

“it’s all ready, baby. we did that last week.”

(correction: you did it. he tagged along for the shopping trip).

“there’s just… a few things...” you mumbled, not finding the strength to finish your own sentence. 

satoru gently placed his hand on your shoulder, emitting inhuman warmth that spread across your skin. you leaned into him as he dragged his hand down your arm and intertwined your fingers with the care of handling fine china. his presence brought you solace, effortlessly bringing the walls down that you desperately wanted to wait until you got home to break.

he kissed the back of your hand and rubbed the skin. “you know you’re going to see him every day, right?”

it was embarrassing how well satoru knew you, knew your thought process like it was an extension of his own. he knew your doubts and insecurities, your fears and desires. he could predict the words before they came from your mouth, more in tune with the way you spoke than his mother tongue.

“mhm.”

“you know we’re going to be the ones chaperoning his missions, right?”

you closed your eyes and looked away. “i know.”

“do you remember when he said he’d like to go home some weekends, and have dinner?”

“he said that to be nice.”

“when has he ever been nice?”

you opened your eyes to glare at him, though he was right. megumi was not nice. he was polite. he was too self-aware for his own good, too perceptive of others and their emotions. in all the time that you’d known him, raised him, he made himself smaller for the convenience of others. he walked on his tiptoes for a year and a half so no one else would wake up because of him. he made his own breakfast and bit back his tears when he burned himself. he didn’t ask for things or food and didn’t offer his input unless asked directly. for some time, he was a ghost in his own home. 

it seemed as soon as the bits of his shell started to break off, he was being swept away from you by the jujutsu world, leaving you with looming fears that consumed your mind and disrupted your sleep for weeks.

satoru smiled, though it was weighed down with your sadness. “hey, he’s not going anywhere, you know that. just because you’re not driving him home everyday doesn’t mean he’s gone.”

it’s funny, it’s nearly the same speech he gave you when tsumiki started middle school. and when megumi followed those same steps.

tsumiki didn’t make it this far, though.

the thought makes your lip wobble again, and you bite it back pathetically.

“i know. i know that. it’s just that…” your voice cracked, and you shoved your head in your hands. your palms squeezed your eyes in a desperate attempt to stop the already-flowing tears. “he’s not my little boy anymore.”

satoru’s soothing hands pull you into a tight hug, and you don’t have it in you yet to move your hands from your face. his embrace makes you sob harder, louder as all your emotions from the last week begin to pour out at once. his chest rumbled with your cries, and he tucked you further under his arms as if to shield you from what was making you hurt so much. it was all you.

“baby…” he chuckled, without a hint mirth or mockery. he squeezed you with compassion and adoration. “you know that’s not true. he’s still pretty short, he’s got another growth spurt coming.”

a small laugh slipped through, but was quickly drowned out by your cries.

“he’ll be okay. he’s still here.”

he was so, so warm. he gently began to rock back and forth with you, the heels of your shoes gently clicking on the tile floor. a small hiccup erupted from you as you found the strength to wrap your arms around him, burying your face into his chest. the familiar thrum of his heartbeat welcomed you.

“i know, i’m sorry. i know he’s not leaving, or anything… i just… i thought i was ready.” you blubbered into his button-up. surely, there’d be two wet spots where your eyes were when you pulled away.

he swayed side to side with you, staring at the blackboard ahead of him. he nestled his chin on the top of your head, wondering if you could hear the cracks tearing through his heart. “it’s okay if you’re not ready. but you’re treating this like it's goodbye.”

“but what if we don’t get a goodbye?”

“okay, you really are overthinking this,” he pulled away from your embrace, your fingers still digging into the material of his shirt. he brushed away the hair covering your eyes, stuck to your skin by the wetness of your cheeks. streaks ran through your foundation and the corners of your eyes were smudged. “there you are. so pretty.”

it was silly how he believed he could make things better like that. it was silly that he was a little bit right.

“don’t think for a second i’ll let megumi be sent on a mission he can’t handle. he’s going to be fine.”

satoru’s love ran deep. for you, for megumi, for all his students. he fought curses everyday for you, rotted himself with his technique and stitched himself back up in a moment’s notice to fight for you. to come home to you. all of humanity be damned, those closest to him were the ones he fought for, and he would do everything in his power to preserve their lives.

he already towed the line with the higher-ups and their conservative rules and regulations, but he would tear them down if you asked. for megumi, he’d fight tooth and nail to see that he wasn’t being sent off on a mission ill-prepared. under his watch, things would be different for his students. 

you nodded meekly, wiping away your tears with one hand. “i hate when you’re right, toru. it’s really annoying.”

he smoothed down your hair and grinned. “i know, just let me have this one, though.”

his sweet murmurs filled your ears, along with the gentle shuffling of your clothes as you made yourself presentable again. you balled up your sleeves and patted the corners of your eyes gently, and he straightened out the hem of your shirt. it was wrinkled, a reminder of how harshly you clung to him.

you smiled at the water stains on his shirt now, and he claimed it was in need of dry cleaning anyway.

neither of you noticed the eyes of megumi and yuuta, both stuck in place at the very corner of the windows leading to the hallway. they had training staffs with them, megumi’s grip becoming tighter as he watched you wipe your eyes and knock your head into satoru’s chest lazily. your shoulders low, clearly drained from the amount you cried. 

yuuta was frozen, eyes flickering from you to megumi repeatedly. he found his courage in placing a hand on his shoulder, a feather-light grip. “hey, let’s go through the east wing. i’m pretty sure it’s faster that way.”

it wasn’t. but megumi nodded anyway, begrudgingly tearing his gaze from you and turning around with yuuta. 

you stared down the red light of the intersection with a blank face, blank mind. letting it all out of your system had successfully flushed out your emotions, taking the rest of your energy along with it. the car was painfully quiet, but no part of you wanted to listen to anything.

satoru was whisked away by yaga, being delivered another mission he swore would take less than a day. ‘less than twelve hours’, he promised to be back for megumi’s first day. he would make it.

it was dark, and you milked all the time you could on school grounds. speaking with yaga and shoko, running through the still-developing information of missions to be sent on. cleaning the classrooms. the lockers. stocking the teachers lounge. dusting the armory. before you knew it the curfew ushered the students into their dorms.

a ringtone broke through your thoughts, making you jump. though the tune was soft, the sudden intrusion made it much more shrill. you fumbled with your phone in the passenger seat, seeing megumi’s contact on the screen.

“hello?”

“hey, mom?”

it took everything you had left not to gawk. he said it before, sparingly in desperation for comfort. his voice was quiet, a near-whisper despite the fact he was alone in his dorm. like he was nervous.

“yes, megumi?”

“um… are you home?”

you wondered if he forgot something. “no, i’m still driving. are you okay?”

“i’m fine, i just… can’t sleep, i guess…” he trailed off, hoping for you to fill in the gap.

“oh. okay. did you take–“

“do you think you could pick me up?” he interrupted. “and i just stay home tonight? you could drive me in the morning.”

you were quick to dissolve into a smile, pointed at the streetlamp on the sidewalk. sadness struck your eyes but you were too occupied by the warmth of his question to feel it.

“yeah. i can be back there in a few minutes, just let me turn around.”

“thanks.”

he didn’t hang up. neither did you. the silence lived on for a few seconds.

“mom?”

“yeah?”

“… gojo’s on a mission, right?”

you laughed, your hand sliding across the steering wheel as you reouted back to the school. “yeah, megs, he’ll be gone tonight.”

“he’s back tomorrow?”

“yeah, we can leave before he gets home.”

“thanks.”

bonus:

satoru tiptoed through the entrance of your home, brushing his blindfold over his hair and peeling it off his head. he hung it up with his keys, lax arms nearly missing the hook on the closet door meant for him. it was beyond late, and he was tired, but he was home like he said he would be.

he bent down to tie his shoes, buffering momentarily as he caught a glance of well-worn sneakers at the front door. they were as clean as they could be, though scuffed rubber turning gray and the laces becoming frayed where they were tightened most.

satoru made a grunt in acknowledgement to no one but himself, as he tossed his shoes down. he glanced around the living space, cautiously bringing himself to each room with a curious itch to scratch. a third pair of shoes. both backpacks on the door. dishes for two placed on the drying rack. 

he was expertly quiet by nature, but found himself avoiding the squeaky floorboards on the stairs and all the way to the hallway. he was greeted with a blue sign, corners covered with dog stickers. the frilly handwriting of tsumiki warding off unwanted visitors with the phrase: “megumi’s room. keep out!!”

the door opened quietly, satoru pushing it open to the limit and stopping before it would let out an ungodly squeak. he insisted on never getting it fixed, knowing it bothered megumi.

megumi had his face shoved in his pillow, a desperate attempt to block out any light creeping through the crack of his bedroom door or the streetlamp just outside the window. he was always a light sleeper, always on edge, sleeping with his back to the wall so if something barged in the night he was ready. it was horrible he thought that way, you always said. 

his duvet covers were black and white plaid, per his request three years ago when he begged to be free of the puppy sheets. still, he seemed small, curled up in a ball. his face was released of the usual tension and his light breathing filled the room. for a moment, he was little again.

satoru smiled, taking a step back and closing the door gently.

Baby fish

So having talked with some friends about the Sun and Moon from eaps (or peas as we like to call it hence 'Sunpea' and 'Moonpea') i decided for fun to throw them into the mer au as twin pups who Eclipse finds all tangled up in a rockpool. The babies would have lost their parent(s) to a predator so Ruin and Eclipse take them in and now the roommates are gay uncles!

So about the peas - While they were stuck in the netting, Moonpea had more swimming freedom but Sunpea was the one tangled up the worst and was hurt by the movement. Moonpea would try to swim slowly, but Sunpea would still struggle from the pain and lash out clawing up Moonpeas arms resulting in the scars.

After rescue Sunpea would be terrified to swim in the ocean again for a while as well as be physically weakened from having been stuck in a restrictive and painful state prior, hence the learning to swim again. Moonpea also would need to learn how to swim properly again as while he isn't as physically weakened, he developed bad movement patterns from being trapped but he's not as nervous about it as Sunpea is.
