Greetings, Anonymous. I hope you are faring well, whoever you are. Have a lovely day. Here is a picture of a hedgehog, in case your day was going poorly.
Current progress on TSAMS, LAES, EAPS, and MASM Rambles and spoilers ahead! Click if you dare!
I've had a lot of rambly feelings on the last few eps and need to get my thoughts out into the universe.
For TSAMS: "Sun wants to throw a HALLOWEEN party! in VRChat"
WAAAGH I hope Nexus shows up at the party and is all like "Sorry my invite was lost in the mail" or something like that. EHEHEHE
So far I've been really digging the more slice of life-esque eps? I think it's cute to see what everyone is up to day-to-day. Davis makes an incredibly convincing sick sounding person btw.
Moon and Nexus meeting up again to hash it out was funny, it just felt like Moon was like "The kettle calling the pot black" in a sense? I like that he's acknowledging his mistakes and IS making work to move past it but sometimes it's hard to watch because he rebounds a lot.
He repeats mistakes a lot and he makes it about himself a lot? I know he's growing but those kind of eps do tend to waffle around in my opinion.
I really liked the Nexus vs Taurus confrontation ep. It was just really interesting. From the information provided to us as viewers Taurus is supposed to be one of the strongest Astrals and has a history of planet breaking (due to the NSP infection) but Nexus who's just been experimenting with NSP was able to harm Taurus and even escape him semi easily.
Nexus' voice even dropped, was that like NSP puberty? JK JK unless...?
Just random speculation, so like we know Sun's magic teacher came from a planet that blew up or was destroyed and now I'm wondering if it was an Astral situation? I hope Teacher Atlas doesn't turn out to be some kind of mastermind training Sun in magic that can be used to harm Astrals.
Also, Dark Sun asked Ruin "how long" and Ruin randomly picked "7 days" or a week or something like that...and I'm so curious has that happened in lore yet? Was that 7 days supposed to relate to when Dark Sun finally spoke 1-on-1 with Sun? Are we still waiting out that?
I'm also extremely excited and interested in the entity that entered Sun's mind. We haven't heard hair nor hide of it but I feel like it's still there? Sun's been acting odd in the eps. Does anyone else notice a shift with him?
Also Freddy showing up to ask Sun about advice on how to managed Francine and Francine mentioning she sees Sun's magic is amazing! His magic color is now hues of yellow?!?! It's cool to know Sun radiates all different kinds of energies now.
For LAES: "Rez's Beast ATTACKS LUNAR!!! in VRChat"
OMGEEE
I love this!!! I like the entire lead up to Lunar being like almost an action hero?!? It's cool he's really coming into his role as like...the chosen one. IDK it's a trope that's fun. Lunar has a big destiny and it's cool to see it's starting to unfold more.
Lunar has been getting an essentially unique and completely unprecedented education from other Astrals. They state over and over his entire situation and existence is way too unique.
I think it's so cool how Taurus gave Lunar an ultimatum, what wasn't cool was using Earth as bait to get him to use his powers more lethally.
Taurus hit Lunar with such a good line "If I had brought anyone else, they'd be dead." It's a FAIR assessment. Lunar's biggest struggle is being selfish imo. He has to learn to see past himself. He's getting much better at it! Taurus just wanted to remind Lunar of that.
It's a very action sensei/teacher trope tbh.
Lunar having to deal with Dazzle's old creepy body is insane. The gurgling sounds are so unsettling and just create a crazy set up.
It's interesting to learn how NSP is point to SP but Taurus was able to make Nexus feel sick with his SP before Nexus anger evolved and his NSP made Taurus sick.
Lunar being injured and everyone showing up to pamper him was great. I feel like them hiding the fact Evelyn's old body is now not only reanimated but also on the loose causing violence and killing people is a bad idea and will bite them in the butts later.
I have a theory the body will approach Evelyn/Dazzle without the others know.
Oh I also saw the next ep where Sun takes the kids shopping. Adored that. when Sun spends time with the kids It's so wonderful. The Halloween shopping episode was hilarious. I think it's so funny how Jack also spends a lot of time with Sun despite being more violent towards him then he should be.
I'm also excited for Earth to get more involved! Let's see her kick some ass!
For EAPS: "Eclipse and Puppet GET EXPOSED! in VRChat"
This entire lead up so far has been great. I like the murder mystery even though it was really obvious. Bringing the dynamic of the detective was a nice surprise. I like that he just figured everything out! The eaps dimension hoppers aren't very good at hiding stuff after all.
At this point everyone in the plex knows they're from another dimension.
I also would like to add I feel horribly for Sun and Moon in EAPS because it feels like they just can't win. First, Eclipse is so unreasonably with Sun and then he set up a situation that would make Puppet uncomfortable. He set up Sun to get yelled at by Puppet and Sun + Moon, they were both sharing at the time, both got berated by Puppet over something so inconsequential.
Sun was rambling about stuff like werewolves and sparkles and it's clear anything would have made him leave or just being like "I'm not magic Eclipse lied" but no, instead we got Puppet blowing up on them and cornering them. We also get no apology.
I don't have much speculation on them. I just kind of look and turn my brain off. I hope Monty (does EAP Monty have a particular nickname?) and Ballora date they seem like they'd make a good couple. I like their mean girl dynamic.
Sometimes EAPS feels like this cheesy soap box of a drama because everyone acts like they're in a telenovella. It's this train wreck I can't look away from. XD
For MASM: "We LOST Gregory in MINECRAFT!"
Not much to add here, I think it's different that Sun in a prior ep got his intelligence souped up and turned into a world needs to be remade villain. I'm also interested over how Moon just randomly turned killer in an ep too.
I like that Moon was genuinely worried about missing Gregory. MASM just has interesting vibes. They also seemed to be kidnapped in a color puzzle ep?
I don't have anything to add other then I like the zany antics it's a great breath of fresh air from the heavy plot stuff with the other main shows. Sun feels like a feral gremlin child but I love him all the more for that.
RIP to everyone who’d love for me to make a comprehensive guide to literally any AU I have but it hasn’t happened yet. SONIC TIME with very inconsistent designs oh well.
Sonic and his siblings! So-named Manic and Sonia/Spins- they have different Chaos abilities than Sonic’s superspeed but are also pretty powerful. They show up a bit later, but the three of them become fast companions. Spins is VERY strong.
A loose family lineup of the Needlemouses. Uncle Chuck (note the naturalistic coloration), Spins, Manic, Sonic, and Jules post-roboticisation. However you’d spell that.
Jules Needlemouse and Bernadette Aleena - Sonic’s parents! You’re welcome to try to figure out how the hell Mobian coloration genetics work, but I’ll save you the time. It’s magic bullshit. A good rule of thumb usually is the weirder the coloration, the more likely this person is to have wild superpowers though. Love this Nerd/Sorceress dynamic, too.
Sonic’s design has changed a LOT lately from these ones but you’ll see that in later posts

Kurt really had to stop crushing on straight guys.
When Sam - the barista at his favourite cafe - offered to show him around New York Kurt jumped at the chance to spend more time with him. Even if, as he fell in love with New York, he also started to fall for Sam. Even all of the blind dates in the world couldn't take his mind off of him.
it's been almost 2 months of sitting on this chapter, so like, here it is, idk when chapter 4 will happen.
