[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
