WHAT'S THAT PUPPET BOY?
This goes out to poppy playtime pianosaurus enjoyers
I feel like I should mention that I am not a Ruin defender or apologist because a lot of my thoughts recently have been picking Ruin apart and if you weren’t me you could say I was woobifying him. I like to think of myself as a Ruin understander? I try to understand him as best I can with the means I am familiar with—which just so happens to be speculation.
Ruin is one of those Morally Ambiguous™️ characters that lands on a spectrum in the extremes. The worse a character’s crime, the more dire a reason or event(s) that pushed them to do it. The worse a character’s crime, the more they will try to cope with whatever they did, or they don’t cope at all. (Nevermind additional factors like environment.) That is what I like to think about. Crimes are not excusable no matter the reason; what makes a character like this interesting is how they think they were justified in what they did. It makes them varying degrees of sympathetic, but not correct. This goes for a good handful of the cast!
That being said, the fact a character committed a crime is not always a justifiable reason for other characters to commit crimes against them. In the case of Nexus’ treatment of Ruin, you could argue that it was a little bit justified in the beginning, Ruin killed Solar, but as that went on it was overkill and no longer about Ruin. In the case of Dark Sun’s treatment of Ruin, you can’t tell me that was done out of solely righteous intent. In the case of Molten, that was a direct consequence of the dimensional collapse, and Ruin had that one coming.
“Ruin kinda deserved how he was treated post Dimension collapse” and “It’s kinda messed up what happened to Ruin post Dimension collapse” are two statements that can (and should) coexist. Furthermore, there is no one correct interpretation of a character! But that’s just me
