Carme being afraid of the circus makes sense considering the fact circuses are infamous for abusing animals, and animatronics are viewed as more tools rather than alive by humans within the multiverse. And it’s even more implied with the fact Carme suggested to harm Sprinkles as discipline. Which could’ve been learnt from experience.

So yes your honor Carme is likely a victim of abuse.

I find it really ironic that the "evil" versions of the Celestial family have better communication skills than their good counter parts tbh-

This might be the first time where I actually don't like the angst like it's hitting a little close to home here...

Im so glad the Celestial family is noticing how bad Cosmo's mental state has been it's been like 2 or 3 years of self hatred and inner depression for Cosmo and honestly if Cosmo was willing to drown himself to stop hearing voices back durning the whole Kerian mark thing I'm very concerned about what he might do when that bottle reaches full capacity and he can't keep the lid closed anymore

Also with the Titan and Cosmo interaction at the end it's giving

"Aw look Heather's going to whine whine whine all night-"

Shine a light reprise

Anyways is it just me or does any else both love and hate the Titan arc? More so I hate/love how well written the arc is i genuinely can't believe im watching this masterpiece for free!

Tbh what makes the arc so interesting is how real they make Cosmo feel and how distant Titan feels

Titan feels fictional or like a mist or fog that feels out of this world

To better explain it, Titan constantly feels like he's acting or wearing a mask

It feels like he's put up this persona that faded into his actual true self, he's no longer someone with real emotions or expressions but something hard or plastic like a doll

Titan's entertaining,funny, chaotic and that gives him a charm but at the same time he's hollow

To an extent he actually does remind of old Cosmo a little though not in the way I just described

Titan acts like a child

He's powerful and fearful one moment but as soon as he's tested, as soon as someone pushes his buttons or doesn't give him what he wants or provide him with the satisfaction he expects to gain from his view of entertainment

He throws a fit, he throws a tantrum like a child and to me it shows that he's somewhat thinks the world revolves around him

He expects everyone to bend to his will and give him whatever he wants solely because he's powerful

To quote a line that i think sums up what im saying atleast somewhat

"The world is orange, everybody owns a piece of the orange, nobody owns the whole orange and those who think they do are fools"

Or atleast this my interpretation of the line but I digress

Titan goes around acting like he can do whatever he whats and I think this is so because he believes he owns the entire world or atleast the world owes him

he's the embodiment of Cosmo's old greed,selfishness and self perseverance

He's the Cosmo that never grew up or matured

I honestly find Titan calling Cosmo 'pathetic' really funny because of this

I mean putting all of this in perspective, Titan is the one whose truly pathetic

On the other hand, Cosmo doesn't wear a mask or hide behind a persona

Yeah Cosmo bottles up his feelings but it's better than Titan who doesn't really have those feelings

Yeah Cosmo is probably going through a identity crisis but if you think about it, Titan feels like he's disconnected from his identity

Cosmo has strength in all the aspects Titan doesn't

Cosmo doesn't have the superiority complex Titan obviously does and that makes him someone who feels more grounded in reality

Titan and Cosmo are truly opposites in a way that i personally haven't seen yet with other 'evil' counterparts and it all boils down to-

Titan is too high up in the sky and has his head stuck in a cloud while Cosmo is too far down in the Earth and he's stuck in the dirt

Ones living a fantasy and the other is in reality

Titan and Cosmo's dynamic and balance is one of the things that make this arc so intriguing

Honestly I think this is what the VAs were implying when they said that Cosmo was going to learn to be strong in other ways but what do I know?

Anyways byeeee

I heard there was an Aspen mention in today's episode so I caved and watched it (while I was doing dishes so I wasn't really looking at the screen.) Honestly, it wasn't bad for what it was and the ending was really interesting. I'm still doing exasperated eyerolls at their determined insistence that Solar only started becoming more temperamental and angry after he came back from dying but at this rate retcon's are going to retcon.

I'm glad he's self-aware and realizes that he's too snappish with Jack, and hopefully he'll think into finding some interdimensional licensed therapist who will help him and coach him with anger management. Maybe he could even take a few baby steps on his own, starting a journal to vent his frustrations or getting a stress toy?

I don't know, I'm definitely not an expert in healthy ways to relieve anger, all I know is that expressing my thoughts helps at least a little. And regarding Solar, trying something and learning what does or doesn't work would be better than doing nothing and just letting everything continue to fester. He really did try the right thing in reaching out, just sucks he reached out to the wrong person.

Now, circling back to the earlier parts of the episode, cheezits RICE that saleswoman was a BITCH. "Our apparel is clearly out of your tax bracket-" GEEZE. 😦 And I so badly wish someone had been there to question her when she said, "Walked in off the street," like, "What, as opposed to walking in off the roof?? Where tf were we supposed to walk in from?" bc that was dumb asf for someone operating within a MALL SHOP. Is it even allowed for people within mall shops to ban unoffending customers from accessing their shops??

Carmine trying to talk to her and get her to "open up" was honestly a bit ridiculous in that situation, too. Like, I see where he's coming from with what he told Solar in the burger shop, the sort of "everyone is fighting a battle you don't even know about, be kind" mindset which isn't a terrible perspective to see from.

It does make sense that he sees things this way considering that during his fight Aspen, he said there must be something going on with the Haven Moons who were bullying them and that he talked to them to try and get to the root of the problem. It tracks that he prioritizes trying to help someone antagonizing him and/or his companion, though the way he explained his overall perspective felt... Unexpectedly naive of him? I don't know, Carme tends to act as a mature voice of wisdom so him viewing things from such an innocent lens is strange to me.

Like, again, it's not a terrible perspective and it's a very kind mindset, but also, not everyone who's unkind has some internal turmoil they're fighting against. Some people are just assholes, unfortunately. And maybe it's just the exhausted, temperamental pettiness in me but I'm kinda with Solar, if someone's going to be a bitch I think it's fair to pay back that exact energy. Obviously there are exceptions but just in general, people shouldn't get to be assholes and go unchecked.

"Aspen would agree with you..." - Sooo Aspen x Solar anyone?? /hj No? Just me?...

I once again lament the fact that they pulled the cheating card with Aspen to justify Carme's breakup because this is really cementing how much story potential there was in simply making Carmine and Aspen's relationship troubles founded in their fundamentally different mindsets and approaches to confrontation. But regardless, I'm taking this crumb for myself, thank you TSAMS for fueling my headcanons and validating my decision to make Aspen confrontational/combative. uwu

And it's interesting how quickly Carmine accepted Solar's mindset, too. I was taken aback by him taking off the kind face toward the bartender and embodying the "he asked for no pickles!!" energy. You'd think someone who tried to talk his partner's bullies through their assumed woes would need more time to adjust to the sentiment. ewé

Aside from that, I actually like Carme's thing of liking to hang out and watch his companions eat/drink? Him not being able to do either but still enjoying creation and making food/drinks for others reminds me of my KC headcanons. ☺️ Not that Carme will ever be him. It also reminded me of how cartoon Catnap was said to like watching his friends sleep in his wiki. It's creepy and odd but a fun little character quirk.

Dude super duper got Solar drunk to make him spill though, I am fully convinced of that. He was sat there LOCKED IN when Solar started venting and crying. Enjoying the tea. I mean, I was too a lil' bit so I can't judge. And I did feel bad for him when he started crying, honestly, he needs and wants help but it's not really accessible to him at the moment.

He'sss gonna wake up with a helluva hangover, too. ewe

I don't think we've seen the last of Titan...

.

Pretty much what it says right there. As much as it looks like the little gremlin was finally put out of his misery, got to remember y'all that there's something else in the Void other than the universe munching worm.

Something that latched onto Nexus's soul and brought him back as a Witherstorm... Whatever that was is still out there. And Nexus wasn't physically in the Void and that thing got him, Titan is actually in there.

One of my main reason for thinking about this, was Ruin. By the time Titan killed him, he had already figured out how to kill him and had passed that information to Moon in some form. Something which we still don't know what it was...

My secondary reason is Charlie. She was essentially made to kill someone she cared about. This kid is obviously still very upset and has gone through a lot... She deserves to get a few punches in on Titan before he dies for good.

Minor reasons are that the fact that Titan is very popular and even got himself a marketable plushy. He's popular enough to earn some form of return... Possibly even more deranged than before.

Just my thoughts. Titans arc was quite enjoyable and I'd like to see the lil jerk come back in some future episodes. I'm eagerly waiting for Tyrant, that's shaping up to be one fire of an arc. The buildup has been done very well and I love that we're back in a Pizzaplex, returning to the roots.

I'm just having a good time theorizing things and enjoying the show : D

[nightixx]

i don't think we can really say that solar "snapped" but more like he just made a friendly reminder that he's also an eclipse, and even tho he changed his name, he's absolutely not "less dangerous" than the eclipse we know.

I love how solar (out of all characters..) isn't having an existential crisis about what he is or isn't, he knows he's an eclipse and assumes it

I hope they won't make a solar going feral and doing things like nexus or lunar did— (let the man be badass please)

[tsams-th1ngs]

trigger warning mentions of suicide??

Sooo.. I’ve seen theories about the overseer convincing the family to turn on solar and I agree that that is definitely possible.

But then well I was just scrolling I had the thought.. plot twist ‘the overseer actually convinces solar that he is a danger to his family and the world , so solar then just kinda lets himself die to protect them

I mean the overseer definitely seems to think he’s dangerous somehow.

btw this is not really Sirius I don’t actually think this would happen In the show, fun au though

Idk why my brain came up with this ( probably cause I like solar angst

[lunar-solarsystem]

okay so

so Nexus, right

Nexus

when he told Moon to “split” and nothing happened, like

if

if he

if he said that to Ruin, would his code split into Sun and Moon again??? or

(similar thought to an au concept i saw (and loved) on here a month ago or so)

[the-chaos137]

Chat this is wild.

After today’s episode I think the theory of Dark Sun prepping Nexus’s brain and body for Sun to absorb might just be canon, or smt similar to it.

“The reason I’ve been doing every single thing, is for Sun.”

He is using Nexus as a way to help Sun, he has seen all this horrible stuff happen to countless other Suns at the expense of a Moon, it’s always a Moon that causes everything, every Sun’s suffering. Dark Sun knows this and uses it to fuel all his plans and ideals. He hates Nexus. He hates him, but he must play along so his plan goes the way he wants.

I think the reason he’s more ‘causal’ with Ruin is because they’re half Sun. Sure their half Moon as well- that’s why Dark Sun doesn’t really like them or have an opinion on them, but he treats them better then Nexus does.

He is doing something with Nexus, i know it. The person he said is going to die? It’s going to be Nexus. Why wouldn’t it? Dark Sun hates Moons. He planned for Nexus to go crazy. He’s been planning and manipulating everything for who knows how long to go in his (and most likely Sun’s) favour. He has everyone right where he wants them.

It’s only a matter of time now.
