Hi there! I'm still around! :D
My favorite character is Earth! He's my planet and I love him dearly. I truly think he has the best character development in the entire series and I adore what Solarballs is doing with Proto and Theia because I also love reincarnation tropes (that's how I theorize it's going). He's just such a neat and interesting character plus his platonic brotherly relationship with Luna is adorable!
I also love Proto and Theia! I know people don't like their love story and yeah I do agree it's rushed, but I adore how the two fell in love with each other because they both have the urge and want to obtain life and they both cheer for each other and- ah! I get why people don't like their love story but I do and I love them! They both died, but they get what they want in the end and succeeded.
Hiii 🌟 Anon :D!!!! It's been a while!!!
And now..... The Earth!!!! I think he is one of the most constructed characters in the series, both because he is an OG and both because he is a fan favourite!!! His lore started before SB started to feel rushed.
He is such a cool character!! He has an amazing character development!! I just think that he needs a break... I also would like to see more of the relationship he has with his earthlings and the other celestial bodies! Some chill eps would be nice, with fun facts about our planet(like those 3 min ep from the beggining)!! That could also give more space to other planets have their own arc with Earth in the background.
I also would love to know where exactly his need to be special came from. We know that Theia didn't want 'The Darkness to win', but that doesn't exactly put into perspective why he needs the earthlings to feel special. To feel wanted. Probably it's just a way to cope with the way the earthlings treat him, but... I don't think that is the whole thing.
I think it's another case of set expectations. Everyone kept pushing so much about how life is amazing, special, and everything that at some point, complaining about it would feel bitter in his mouth, like he is selfish for doing so, when so many would with to have it. So he doubled down on being proud of it until it boiled down at the Moon Rev.
About Theia and Proto. I love the reincarnation trope, too!! But I can't exactly see them as a couple...? I think their dynamic works more as best friends than them getting together, but I don't really care much about ships in general, so I don't mind!
