-cracks knuckles- ALRIGHT. TIME TO HYPER-ANALYZE THE RUIN DCA IN THE NEW POSTER AND GARNER INFORMATION THAT IS COMPLETELY FALSE PROBABLY
so. many things of note here.
THE DESIGN CHANGED. CRACK DOWN BELOW THE EYE THAT WAS NOT THERE BEFORE, MOON'S COLORATION ON FACE RATHER THAN SUNS (ALTHOUGH THIS MAY JUST BE LIGHTING?)
YOU CANNOT SEE MOON'S SIDE OF THE FACE. ONLY MOON'S EYE IS LIT. THIS IMPLIES MOON HAS A HIGHER DEGREE OF CONTROL THAN SUN DOES- IN FACT, A LOT OF THIS IMPLIES MOON HAS MORE CONTROL THAN SUN??
the hands i could go on for years about the hands the way they're posed his fingers are tucked he's in such a non-aggressive stance please let him be friend shaped please steel wool come o
THEIR LEGS ARE BENT A LIL, LIKE HE'S TRYING TO BALANCE DESPITE THE LACK OF A FOOT ON ONE LEG (how is he MOVING how is he doing that i wanna see that animated so bad)
WE WERE RIGHT, HALF OF THEIR TORSO DOES APPEAR TO BE MISSING!! THEIR LOWER TORSO IS NOT USUALLY THAT THIN, ITS USUALLY SOMEWHAT EQUAL TO THEIR CHEST
CRINOLINE IN THE PANTS!!! YOU CAN SEE IT NEAR THE BOTTOM
OTHER LEG APPEARS FINE??? SO THERE'S THAT AT THE LEAST
WE STILL HAVE NOT SEEN THE REST OF MOON'S HAT THOUGH THE DCA IS NOW LACKING IN BELLS FROM THE LOOKS OF IT
LEG ENDOSKELETON IS CONSIDERABLY THICK IN WIDTH? NOT SURE WHY BUT THAT IS AN INTERESTING TIDBIT CONSIDERING ITS WIDER THAN THEIR FOREARM
I AM LOSING MY MIND. /pos
SO. SO HYPE FOR JULY 25TH IT CANNOT COME FAST ENOUGH. THE BOYS HAVE RETURNED
ok, i've seen a lot of debate on this and i just want to put in my two cents real quick!
explaining my reasoning for why i think sun is seeing us as a child and not an adult in help wanted 2
(aka. world's most incoherent sun analysis)
to preface; no hate at all to people that want to think of this differently! everyone will have different perceptions of help wanted 2 and that is fine!! i understand the upset about the changes to suns character and i hold no grudge against people that dislike the ruder portrayals of sun!
this is just my personal beliefs and analysis i've made!
hello hello! i apologize if this is incoherent, this was originally written on discord and i'm just pasting it in and formatting it for tumblr!
i am open to discussion on this, but PLEASE be nice (and use tone tags!!)
"Bad kid, bad kid! I'm putting you in timeout!"
"You stay in timeout until your parents arrive!" - sun, help wanted 2
these two lines. are INCREDIBLY significant to this and why i think there is just literally no way he's seeing us as an adult at all!
why on EARTH would sun pull the time-out line if we're an adult? why in the world would he refer to 'your parents', why would he call us 'bad kid'?
sun has the capability and sense to recognize an adult when he sees one, and honestly i feel like sun would be more polite to staff than this! not out of genuine respect, no- out of genuine fear.
a common argument i see is 'maybe he's being mean because it's a training thing with a staff member playing the role of a child', but this circles right back to the point that sun would not be a bitch in front of staff.
he is smarter than that, that is a fast track to a whole world of hell for him and i DOUBT he'd want that. keep in mind sun is an actor, he knows how to throw on a little show and pretend for the eyes of someone he'd need to pretend for
i think what we see in help wanted 2 isn't a VR version of sun, it's not him being a bitch to staff- i don't think sun ever had the balls to be rude to staff, knowing his life is in their hands- i think this is just. who he REALLY is. like that is sun, at his core, before it all went horribly HORRIBLY wrong.
keep in mind the first time we saw sun was at his worst. his worst point mentally, the most scared he's been in his life (barring RUIN, he was also pretty fucking scared in that- but in some way he had hope. he knew how to fix this, he just needed someone to help him. there was NO hope for him in SB, he was totally at moon's mercy), paranoid out of his mind and desperately fighting against moon.
we CANNOT take that as a representation of who sun is, who he REALLY is when he's not out of his mind scared.
sun in HW2 is casual, he is calm- only a little afraid, when nap time draws near, but not 'standing on the desk losing his fucking mind clawing his face yelling about lights on and why would we, a small child, do that' afraid which is a significant difference! he even THREATENS us with nap time, showing that he's clearly a lot calmer and in his right mind- he is lax and well.
i think this is, again, evidence that this is just who sun really is
i understand why people don't want that to be true!!
i understand why people want to believe that maybe sun isn't as rude as this- and honestly, i don't think he always is that rude!!
i think we're still missing vital pieces to who sun really is beyond the mortal terror, we have not seen him in his theatre days still
but help wanted 2 is the first time we have EVER seen sun calm and not acting like the world will explode if moon exists for even a second. and that is so incredibly significant in the portrayal and discussion of his character and personality
and with the context that sun is an actor and designed for theatre- there's also reasonable proof to theorize that maybe his daycare persona, the way he acts in security breach before you go behind the counter, is a performance. he overblows it and goes WAY over the top.
y'know.
like a stage persona.
i think part of it is being conditioned to act that way by his environment, yes!! but i also think that a lot of it is acting.
note how he starts on what resembles a stage in SB, making a grand entrance as if walking out as a performer. note his dialogue in help wanted 2 (and listen closely!! pay attention to what he says, the circumstances of it all!!). note his mental state in security breach and parallel that to HW2.
note the details.
you might notice something new about our beloved jesters!
tldr; sun isn't being an ass because we're an adult, that's just how he is, even WITH the kids!! HW2 is the truest, closest representation to who sun is that we have ever had and we cannot use SB or RUIN as a representation of sun's genuine personality due to the circumstances he's in at the time and his behavior likely being incited by paranoia and it may potentially be a performance sun is putting on.
i don't think sun is a sweet sunshine boy (i do not have any issues with people that do want to see him this way though! love everyone's interpretations!!), i think sun is a multi-faceted and flawed person, and that is so incredibly interesting!
