[Ramble/Rant post]
This episode really reminded me why I sometimes feel weird about how the family treats Cosmo. (Spoilers for the newest ep)

- Let me start by saying this: what Cosmo said was wrong. I’m not defending his words, I just wanted to point some annoying things out that happened in this ep.

For example, are we seriously not going to acknowledge how Solar was clearly provoking him beforehand? The little mumbled comments, the jabs. They clearly wasn’t subtle. But when Cosmo reacted, suddenly only his response is called out by the family? I’m sorry, what? That just doesn’t sit right with me.

I get that Solar is going through a rough time. I really do. But that doesn’t give him a free pass to be a jerk to Cosmo without any consequences. Again, I’m not saying Cosmo was in the right, but it’s frustrating to see the family ignore what led up to his outburst. They completely overlooked the buildup and only focused on the explosion between the two. And MAINLY focused on Cosmo!
----------------------------------------
- And then there’s Sun- Oh boy....The way he spoke to Cosmo honestly rubbed me the wrong way. It felt cold and dismissive, like he didn’t care about Cosmo’s side at all. He just told him get out after the outburst, no acknowledgment of what Cosmo might’ve been feeling or how Solar’s comments could’ve pushed him there. It’s great that he showed care for Terra and Dazzle, but when it came to Cosmo? I didn't really see it. Even when Cosmo apologized and tried to explain himself, it felt like sun wasn't really listening.

(And can I just say JACK. why the heck was the CHILD the most reasonable one there? The CHILD! You know you've gone wrong if a child has better awareness and understanding than ADULTS)
----------------------------------------
- And before anyone goes at me. I like Solar, this isn't a hate rant. He’s one of my favorite characters (check my description if you don’t believe me lmao). But liking a character doesn’t mean I’m going to ignore when they mess up. I get where Solar’s coming from emotionally, but that doesn’t excuse his behaviour at ALL.

What REALLY annoyed me, was how Solar basically told Cosmo that he was the reason Molten died and the family said nothing. Not a single word. But then when Cosmo snapped and implied that it was him being alive was the cause of all the stuff going that’s when everyone jumped in to shut him down? I’m sorry, but both of those statements were equally awful. Why is Cosmo the only one being "called out"?
----------------------------------------
- It’s this kind of treatment that really frustrates me. Cosmo constantly feels like an outsider in his OWN family. They barely reach out to him unless they need something, even though he has a high-risk job and maybe one day he might not even return back home one day. And yet, he’s kept in the dark about basic things, like Ruin and Tiger Rock moving in next door to Sun and Moon? That seems like the kind of info you’d share with a sibling. So yeah, I was glad Monty pointed it out and I hope they improve on the communication.

Speaking from experience actually, I’ve an older sibling away at university. And I still make sure they know what's going on with the family. Not every little detail, but the important stuff? Yeah I do. So the fact that Cosmo is left out of even that kind of communication is just… weird and honestly a little sad.
----------------------------------------
I know this probably sounds like a "stupid rant", but it’s just hard to watch the way Cosmo gets sidelined or scolded without anyone actually listening to him unless it's "important". Yeah his finally does SOMETIMES listen to him.

It's really a shame what Solar and cosmos dynamic has changed to, I used to love their dynamic in the past. It was so sweet and silly

Tbh Solar provoking and jabbing at Cosmo kinda reminded me BIT of Eclipse past behaviour ngl and it made me sad. Since it was Solar who came to check on Cosmo and calm him down after Eclipse provoked Cosmo and made him get himself killed. And now he basically provoked him and made him loose it (tho not get himself killed, just argued back)

Sometimes i wonder, what would happen if cosmos just... Didn't talk to them??? Like kinda just went silent? Like didn't respond to anyone. Didn't visit them or anything.The only person i feel as if treats him like a person is moon. Yet i also think they all treat him like a god, who can do anything for them. Like a slave. Wich yes, he has powers, but sometimes they forget he can't just use them whenever he or they want. I didn't watch the full thing so i wasn't sure what he said. But my point still stands, cosmos is treated like a free,unpaid bodyguard. I honestly feel REALLY bad for him. If i had to be really honest, i hope he finds better family witin the astrals. I love him, but i would rather know hes of screen with loving family and freinds. Than with this mess of a group. Sometimes i refuse to call them a family, because they're not a family anymore, they're just a bunch of animatronics who live in the same house calling themselves siblings.

Honestly, now that you mentioned it, yea, they are throwing Cosmos under the bus here :(((( Tho ngl, I saw the difference in Sun's voice as him just being tired of the fighting and serious

"How can i ever hate you.."-past solar. Sometimes.. i wish they can just revert the wrong and make it right. Im not agreeing with cosmos nor solar, and i understand your rant a lot. But sometimes, i just wish they can go back to the good days when it was all fun and giggles.. but we alllll know thats not gonna happen (Making this clear, i am NOT hating on the timeline of the shows, nor hating on the people who write the timeline for the shows, im just stating my thought process, once again i am NOT hating at all.)

I genuinely hate the dynamic between all these characters so much. It is SOOO frustrating. They are terrible at communicating with each other, they constantly fight over things that could very easily be resolved if they communicated properly, and they don’t treat each other equally at all at times. I honestly feel like Cosmos had every right to be mad at Solar here, like you said, he basically blamed him for Molten being gone, and nobody did or said anything about that, and then they all went after Cosmos for being rightfully mad. (Not defending what Cosmos said, I just think his anger was justified here). Solar is obviously losing himself and acting very scary, and that is nobody’s fault or responsibility, especially not Cosmos’.

I do feel like sun was mad at both of them and did show that he was angry at both of them He just didn’t try to talk to solar cause I think he’s given up on him or at least talking sense into him Because he’s tried that and it hasn’t worked he knows he’s not as close to solar as most people so he’s kind of given up on that

To me the overseer character isn't making any sense. Isn't an overseer supposed to just watch and not act? There are other characters that would be anomalies. Dazzle and Eclipse's kids, before his death Afton that was in eaps. All puppet characters. All Charlie characters and magic in general. Pretty sure the list could go on but don't want to continue.
