my take on the moon and sun trope
the moon and the sun once loved each other.
their love was a forbidden one. it was too dangerous, what love could do to a person. they were willing to bring down the stars in order to see each other clearer. they were willing to break the laws of the universe to catch a glimpse of each other. they were willing to chase after each other for eternity, if it meant that once every hundred years they could meet.
some say that the sun and moon knew it was best to separate, to take care of the people, to help lead them home. others thought that the sun was too much for the moon to handle, and that her blazing light burnt the moon, or that the moon was jealous of how much she depended on the sun to shine.
but even so, the moon still chased after the sun, day after day. night after night. and even so, the sun watched the moon and show the world just how beautiful she truly is, even if she is too shy to admit it herself.
i choose to believe that the sun and the moon separated to put us before each other. to them, it was the right thing to do, even if it sacrificed their wants and needs.
the moon and the sun once loved each other. they still do.
