Moonward - Part 4

[ariadne-mouse]

So naturally I'm incredibly hype about Dark Sonia (?) BUT it would actually be very reasonable AND funny if this effect is not unique to Dark Sonia and she is not present - we did see Mother Trauma succumb to red eyes and despair in Moonward before his death, after all - and that it could simply be if you are a lone Mother saturated in the dark miasma of negative human emotions from all of time... as it progresses you also cannot resist the urge to rhyme

Uh oh..

Dark Sonia apeared on my Canvas....

At this point, we should ALL know the answer to this. But I promised I'd make the poll, so I shall deliver.

Will Dark Sonia appear in Unend Season 3?

Yes (mentioned and appears in-person)

Maybe (mentioned only)

No

[alyxwithoutthe-e]

The encroaching red storm, the hunger, the accelerated sense of conflict Cleo sensed, the red eyes, the rhyming, AND the Moonward leitmotif???? It’s gotta be our girl Dark Sonia YEAAAAAA

Theory:

Dark Sonia is the embodiment of all that is malevolent within the Fold, a former Grandmother, and, as she said herself:

"I am the wound you've always carried - you belong to me."

Dark Sonia makes actual monsters of the people under her influence - she is that awful self-loathing stream of consciousness throughout one's head.

Is this what fucked up Moc Weepe so bad?

Hear me out.

Moc Weepe - formerly Willy Swinzy - was a Dark Baron. We know how he came to his downfall, and likely the horrific crimes he committed during his time in power. How much of that, however, was under Sonia's possession? We saw her take control of Baxford Wanion, another Dark Baron, as well as his entire crew - there's no way she didn't manage that with Swinzy.

And even if Swinzy was also just a cruel bastard in his own time outside of Sonia's influence (which I fully believe), was it her voice the one telling him, convincing him, that he was a monster fated to hurt anyone unfortunate enough to cross paths with him? And even once he was Moc Weepe, was it still Sonia's voice he heard as his self-loathing, even though her influence was no longer within reach of him (presumably) on Midst and in the Highest Light?

Another factor: did Moc Weepe distrust the Mothers before his treatment under Trauma's care? And, if so, was it due to Dark Sonia's former status as Grandmother of the Mothers Merciful?

When I say my thoughts are on FIRE after the Moonward finale-
