small update on the sun/moon dakis >:3c
Is there a particular reason why the Daycare Attendant tends to go for the arms first when enacting violence? Like... that one assistant got their arm snapped, Y/N had their arm/wrist bruised, and Monty got his torn off... Is it just that it's an easier target or something? Or that it makes the victim less able to fight back? Or is it just a coincidence?
Monty had the arm that hurt Y/N torn off, specifically.
Also, you might be confused on the other one. There wasn't an assistant that had their arm snapped, that was a parent, a father, when he reached to wake up his son. From Chapter 6:
And back when Y/N and Moon first met, it was because Y/N was running to go turn on the lights. From Chapter 3:
All of injuries were the result of consiquences that the DCA did not like or want: Waking up a sleeping child, Turning on the lights, Hurting Y/N.....ect.
These are not deadly injuries, but they do prevent further action to do the thing that the DCA doesn't like. Essentially the phrase: point your middle finger and they'll break it off. Arms aren't really their 'specific thing', but punishment is.
But keep pushing and it'll upgrade from arms, fingers, and wrists to snapped necks and crushed spines, like a poor, poor Daycare Assistant got to experience when he tazed Moon.
But yeah, the Daycare Attendant doesn't just 'go for arms', they go for whatever stops you first....or whatever punishments fits.
God bless Eclipse snatched waist
What a diva, amiright? Lmao
Edit:I’m an idiot i coloured the hands wrong smh 😂😂
Ooo I got a question, have/would cryptid sun/moon ever possess(ed) a living host? Would there ever be a reason for them to? Would they ever consider doing it to the hunter? Even if it was to save their life? :3c
Yes, they have possessed a living host before, but that is rare and far between instances. Sun/Moon find it distasteful. It's a very harsh process for the person and they prefer vessels that won't scream and try to run away every time they emerge to eat. The only reasons they've had to in the past were because they needed to conceal themselves and were in desperate need of a vessel, so they took a human as a little ferry toward a more suitable, inorganic host.
As for considering possession of Y/N: absolutely not. That is the last thing Sun/Moon would ever want to do even in the direst of circumstances, except—and only for this—if it meant the difference between life and death for their little hunter. They would only then, but it would not be Fun™.
sorry in advance if this is obvious to people who are not me, but i decided to reread solar lunacy and i noticed a couple of funky lil details that point to sun absolutely also having murdery-virus thoughts like moon towards y/n. he’s just better at hiding/controlling them ig. anyway, this is the little set of lines (near the end of chapter 7) that got me thonkin.
‘restraint isn’t effortless’ oh really? mr. sun sir, are you implying that you, not just moon, also are a bit murdery? now, you could interpret this as ‘sun is speaking on moon’s behalf’, and ye that makes since, & that’s how i read this scene at first too. buuuuuuuuut, maybe sun is a bit murdery. so i decided to look around a bit and oh hey look at this (chapter 9 crumb)
‘Fingers curl in and out like a habit’ hmmmmmm, i’m sure that sun is thinking about stress balls or something, nothing to worry about
(from bamsara, the og post was reblogged, should be right before this one)
man’s really out here pretending to choke y/n huh. how rude. but also, another note here, it says he’s doing it ‘like a habit’, which probably means he’s done this multiple times. now, those two are definitely the most concrete bits i found, but i had another (relatively baseless) thought. so, if flexing robot hands is definitely dangerous, maybe fidgeting robot hands is also alarming. It could be that any repetitive hand motion is the dca’s way of dealing with intrusive violent virus thoughts. And lemme tell you, sun’s hands do an awful lot of fidgeting when he angy. examples include, this middle of chapter 8 bit (Sticker scratching)
this chapter 6 bit (Fingers clacking against each other)
Also, wanna call out the ‘maybe it’s not just the requirement to be quiet that’s making him jitter’ line, which, i dunno about you, but to me seems to imply that maybe it’s the funky sneky murder virus causing the hand fidgets Anyway, another fidgety bit from chapter 6 (Spinning the pen)
this bit from chapter 5, where sun is definitely thinking violent thoughts, but towards monty (Tapping his mask)
conclusion: hand fidgets in general from dca are their way of dealing with murder virus. sun, while seeming like safer side of the dca, also has violent murder virus thoughts and is dangerous. we just haven’t seen him do the dangerous things yet
