@astarshooter
I'm Billie. This is a solarballs blog. I have nothing much to say about myself.
I like cake
The thought of genuinely being in a romantic relationship make me want to kick the hypothetical situation in the balls
I like Titan. He's cool
The worst arc in Solarballs is Theia's. You can't change my mind. I'm too far gone, cuz there is no level of convincing to make me like the most dragging, agonizing, point of the series.
I like potatoes
My favorite color is the taste of brown.
Solarballs ramble: worldbuilding inconsistencies
Summary: they keep breaking or forcing their own rules for plot convenience.
It seems like they keep going "okay, so we've presented this as a problem before but actually we need this to happen so it isn't now" or "Plot twist! This is a problem now because we want to raise the stakes" and then ignoring it when the moment has passed.
Full explanation below:
I find it ridiculously funny whenever i find tuna hate on your page but help why do you hate it so much? (the ship, not the fish)
Genuinely, I hope you do not mean to ask this in a Discourse Way and that you mean it in an actual curious way
*Heavy sigh* Time to finally get publicly executed by the fandom, I guess 😔💔
I wouldn’t say I hate it, I just…I have trauma
Uhhh, below the cut so T//na enjoyers aren’t condemned to this. PLEASE do not start any shipping wars or discourse. This is a personal explanation for why I prefer keeping T//na as far away from me as I can and why I had to filter out so many tags used for it TvT 💔
Titan and SIBO
I wonder how Titan would react to finding out Astrodude left SIBO drifting in space.
Like, for all we know it may be the only life form Titan had and now it may as well be lost forever.
It could be seen as Titan's karma for forcing Astrodude to look for like on him, but still... It's so sad if you think about it.
Hello again! Here are a few crumbs of what I've been working on lately, just so I don't let this account go completely dead. I hope you guys don't think I'm obsessed with this characte
In fact, I have several plans to make.
Just in case anyone asks: some of these drawings were done on different days. I mention this because of the shift in style I'm currently undergoing—for instance, drawings 7, 2, and 3 are a bit older, while the others are recent. That said, I just can't seem to give up the white backgrounds—good grief! I really need to improve in that area.
Warning📢 Ganymede x Titan x Europa
idk this is all I think of when I see earths apology.
TBH I don’t think earth should’ve made that public apology—AND DONT GET ME WRONG. what he said was bad. and if anything he should’ve just went to Titan 1 on 1 instead of doing that whole thing because even after that the whole server jumped him anyways.
Titan got his feelings hurt, then. told Ganymede & Europa who told EVERYBODY. They remind me of those girls in high school who spread rumors faster than they can spell their names
atp they should’ve just added earth to a gc named talking and do everything there PFFT
don’t take this as slander or anything 😭 it was just a thought. and I love all of these guys…even if sometimes they do tomfoolery that makes me wonder 🥹
more titanyropa siren au!!
Breaking down Titan's character in The moons of Uranus :)
On their way to get more recruits for the revolution Titan wasn't looking confident, but Phobos and Deimos didn’t recognize it. Titan was contemplating the revolution he tried to consult with the two, but they confirmed they are followers through and through. Admitting he missed the Earth’s moon probably because he would have challenged his choices. Titan isn't sure if he should be “leading” a revolution against the planets. Following through with the attack even after killing the Earth's moon seemed to be putting a lot on his mind. The Earth's moon didn't want to hurt the Earth, and Titan knew he shouldn't either. Despite what Earth had said it didn't mean people had to die. Though going against Ganymede and Europa did lead to Luna's death, even if it was done unintentionally. Afterwards Titan couldn't stand up to them as he probably felt partially at fault. They were just helping him after all. Trying to get the planets to listen to the moons, and give the moons what they wanted, blood was gonna need to be spilled. The death of Luna was simply a mishap and shouldn't reflect what the revolution is trying to achieve. Right? Who knows what was running around in Titan's mind at the time.
On their way to find more recruits they spotted a moon in the Kuiper belt. However, they were spooked by Uranus and Neptune. Based on the perspective of Uranus and Neptune telling Uranus what he did wrong, the ice giant scared Titan because Uranus was being extremely opposed. In this episode (The moons of Uranus) Neptune is teaching Uranus to understand that his massive size is scary to a moon, and he should be careful with them. However, Uranus wasn't careful and his size and booming voice startled Titan and the moons enough to cause them to flee into the Kuiper belt. Titan was not expecting to be stopped by any planet. Uranus' giant size and loudly asking them to please share the whereabouts of his moons must've triggered the moons’ megalophobia.
There in the Kuiper belt, Titan and the two remaining Rocky planets’ moons go after one of Uranus' moons. She tries to tell them to leave her alone, and it leads to a chase. Probably recognizing she was scared, Titan tried to explain he wanted to help moons like her. Chasing her wasn't the best way to show he's not a threat. He is then suddenly stopped by Umbriel, who came to look for Ariel. He was confused by Umbriel's silence till Ariel told him she's mute and needed to judge him. So, he waited for Umbriel’s judgement before he could continue. After she approved him, Titan gave his name and asked them if they could take them to their leader. It's as if seeing how big planets are, like Uranus, it rebooted his mindset. Then when he saw Ariel in distress, he forgot his doubts. He just picked up his role as the stoic and brave leader of the Moon revolution. Seemingly forgetting someone died.
As soon as Titan sees Titania, it's hinted he was instantly infatuated. Titania is firm, cautious, and demanded who sent him. Although it was Ganymede who assigned Titan and the Martian moons to look for the Uranian moons, Titan states he sent himself. Somehow Titan remembered he was supposed to be in charge of an entire operation. When Titan formally introduced himself as the leader of the moon revolution, Titania laughed at him. However, Titan instead asked why they were hiding from their planet. Possibly not trying to insinuate the worst as he questioned if they were just playing a game. Titania had explained that Uranus said he was going to crush his moons to make bigger rings, so they fled to the Kuiper belt. She does say she wasn't sure if it was a joke, but they didn't want to risk it. Titan reassures her that she's not wrong for her actions, as a planet shouldn't play with their moon's safety. Telling her that Uranus, the Earth and Saturn use their size to bully the moons. He wanted to change their situation with the revolution. To make the planets listen and respect all Moons. Guess the Uranian moons’ situation hits close to home for Titan. Bringing up Earth and Saturn as being bullies and all.
The Uranus situation could be relatable to Titan’s situation. After all, Titan felt obliged to forgive Saturn for presumably killing his moons that made his rings. When things didn’t work out with Earth he took things into his own hands. Found out he has the possibility for life, and he'd set up a base in the Asteroid belt to hide from the planets. The circumstance here is that he is aware that this is not an ideal situation, but it’s preferable to run and hide unless they have the upper hand.
There is a possibility Titan is afraid of the size of the planets. Coinciding with the B plot of the episode, as Uranus is taught that his size and status can be intimidating to his moons. The lack of delicacy resulted in the fear the Uranian moons felt. That is why they hid from their planet. Titan can relate with them given his own experience. Calling his planet a bully because he is bigger could confirm that Titan has tuxiphobia. Despite his efforts to see size as not important, he still views Saturn's overwhelming size as threatening. Saturn’s size may be more intimidating with the notion of what his rings are made of. It's easy to understand why he thinks Earth is a bully. The Earth had basically admitted to believing moons were beneath him. And Saturn is a bully because he’s neglectful to his moons and excused it with being too big. The planets made him feel small, helpless, and meaningless. He is the biggest moon of Saturn but there’s no significant merit to that title. He’d stay in a neighborhood that has been said to be dangerous rather than return to Saturn. He wanted to be as important and commemorable he thinks Earth is. But he was denied recognition. He felt like he couldn't go home till something changed. He didn't want to face them till he could be sure he felt as big and powerful as he thought they were.
In my opinion I just think Titan is a coward and a scared kid. His pride was hurt and he didn’t know how to impose himself on those he loved and held with high regards. Slinking around in the dark, getting his hands a bit dirty, till he figured out how to get what he wanted. He decided a conversation wasn't worth having because he felt perturbed based on the size and status. Titan had jumped the gun before he had a genuine conversation with his planet. He doesn’t have the grounds to insert his opinion to those moons who are genuinely scared of getting killed.
Titan projected his problems on those moons and he wanted to help them. He told them that he planned to rise up against the planets. No longer would moons be threatened and belittled by authority. They were going to fight the planets so they would finally listen and respect moons. Titania on the other hand isn't endangering her moons for a war that she believes would likely fail. She was hiding from possible death, she wouldn’t have been keen on facing the planets in a fight. Unlike Titan, their pride wasn’t hurt, their safety wasn’t taken seriously.
When the moons were discovered by Uranus (canned laughter plays) they high tailed it to the moon base in the asteroid belt. Right in the middle of Uranus’ apology letter, Titania didn’t want them to stay long enough for Uranus to look up from his note (canned laughter plays). All of the moons were fearful of their planets and Titan led him to them. Immediately Titan recognized the distress they were in and his mistake. Titania had only agreed to go with Titan because he said they could hide at the base. She didn’t agree on fighting any battles, she just wanted a safe place for her moons. Later on, Ariel said that she even knew he wrote them an apology letter, yet she still escaped with the others. The trust the moons have for Uranus is off. The dynamic between the Uranian moons and their planet can be explored another time. Not by me, so don’t expect shit from me. Titan led the moons away from Uranus (canned laughter plays) because he didn't trust the planet, because the Uranian moons didn't trust their planet. He wanted them safe and ended up recruiting them for a revolution. Guess since the moons would throw asteroids at Earth then they silently agreed to fight for their cause in return for shelter, despite Titania being against it.
The next sode with Titan and the Moons of Uranus
After they escaped Uranus, Titan and Titania cutely flew close together on the way over to the Asteroid belt. They began to make small talk. Small talk then led Titania to ask about their plan to deal with the planets. Titan would go on to repeat what he pitched back in the Kuiper belt, but what Titania really wanted to know was how. He took a breath and confessed their plan to attack the Earth. It seemed like he didn't want to admit that the plan was to kill all life. He could've still felt guilt and was unsure if it was something he wanted to go through with. Upon hearing the plan, Titania interjected that they should talk to the planets before doing something rash, but Titan said to her to trust him that it wasn't going to work that way. Saying if there was a chance to resolve this through talking, he would do it. This is amusing because he denied the Saturnian moons from discussing the rings' situation with their planet. When he met Earth, he didn't confront him after the “Moon should know their place" comment. Didn't tell Astrodude what favor he wanted him to do before he agreed first. He couldn't express his feelings about the plan to attack Earth or explain how it would be a good idea. Then he led the Uranian moons away from Uranus as he was trying to amend for his wrongdoing. Again, Titan’s problem of talking to his planet is that the other moons aren't spoken to. Saturn would later go on to say he loves talking to Titan and says he respects his opinions, while his other moons are neglected. Titan isn't able to open up to Saturn about revolving matters. He is afraid to try talking about his coils with the planets, and communication in general. He has displayed enough times he’d rather avoid the hard conversation and make impulsive decisions instead. He is running away from his problem and so is Titania, but they weren’t exactly on the same page.
Titan is alone and he accidently causes more isolation. He tries to find a balance with the moons and his planet. In practice, Titan tends to cater to the planets and shields the moons. He is favored by Saturn, but he is possibly guilty about the attention he has received. There's an underlying nihilism about his perception of moons and fear of his planet that internally prevents him from speaking up about their neglect. Maybe it's mostly because the overwhelming size of his planet and Saturn’s forgetfulness that makes conversations feel pointless. However, because Titan doesn't communicate with Saturn about those issues, not only does Saturn continue to primarily dote on him, but the other moons are also envious about being left out. That envy probably has been festering in Titan's umbra for who knows how long. From their perspective, Titan is gravitating all of Saturn's attention in the orbit. They may also believe Titan has enough merit to directly address problems they have with Saturn dearest. Unfortunately, Titan had displayed to them he is more on Saturn's side than theirs. Proving that by forgiving Saturn about the rings and denying confrontation on the topic. The moons don't like that Titan is favored and that he'd defend Saturn over them. He is a barrier for the moons from properly connecting with Saturn, and as a result, leaving Titan more of an obstacle than a peer. Although Titan wants the planets to see him and the moons as a true equal, but due to the failure to convey those thoughts, he instead bore Saturn's patronizing adoration. He let the moons that are itching for genuine connection with Saturn not speak for themselves. He boxed himself in on both social ends, isolating Saturn, the Saturnian moons, and himself from communication. Titan doesn't think that moons are treated fairly but he hasn’t been fair to them as well.
He feels as if the sword of Damocles is above his pretty moon head. If he felt like he couldn't speak up to his planet, so he’d speak down to those he viewed closer to his level to keep a low profile. From Titans perspective, Saturn is a big gas planet, and the moons are too small to confront him. Settling for the cycle of belittlement and fear because the planets are bigger. Under these conditions, Titan had fabricated they would need something extraordinary to put them on par with the planets, like life. The logic being, if moons like him can exist then moons should be treated with integrity and basic respect, not pets or insignificant rocks. Proving they have potential grander than their size. The strike Titan had initially planned; it was his way to get the planet's attention about their potential. Ganymede and Europa then changed the direction of his plan to the extreme. To take out the competition would be more effective to make the planets listen, so they say. I can only presume the painful unawareness and huge size of Saturn made it hard for Titan to talk to him. Earth, Titan’s former idol, had crushed his core and he had to face the fact that Earth didn't respect moons. Somewhere within Titan, he just wanted to hurt Earth for how he made him feel worse about being a moon than he already did, and he was exhibiting intrusive tendencies. Of course, he’d think they wouldn’t be capable of a productive conversation. Unfortunately, probability isn’t the same as doing the work to get the results. Titan told Titania that there's no other way to get their attention other than through violence, but his intuition was kinda skewed. What he did was perpetuate the cycle of lack of communication.
Titania stays speculative about the plan but goes along with the idea. Hoping that if there's a chance to talk then they should. Demonstrating that she's pretty sane, confer with the other moons that convince him that mass extinction wasn’t a bad idea. I think Titan had appreciated that about her. After the death of Luna (rip his soul), it must've been a relief that someone isn't giving him full faith and is opting for civil solutions.
Your Venus reminds me a lot of fell Sans lol /pos
Great catch there pal. Venus's design is based off of the underfell Sans 100%. His choker is also based off the widely depicted color for Warrior Cats Scourge's collar. Two edgy characters I like. I really wanted this Venus to give Vietnam flash backs to old fandom dwellers
Titan wants life because...?
Titan's admiration for Earth must come from the fact he can sustain life. That can be supported on how he responded to Luna when he asked if he were interested in Earth in “The Moon Meets Titan”. Earth's sustainability for life is the driving ideal for the moon's belief that if they could have life as well, they should be treated equally to the planets. I think I understand why life is important to the moon's perception of what makes a celestial body important. It's because the gas giants play favorites and the moons know their favorite is Earth. The moons must think the reason the planets adore Earth is due to his liveable conditions. I already heavily expect that Saturn's favoritism for Titan is because he's the most like Earth. Titan may resemble the Earth, but somewhat recently Titan found out that he has the possibility for life. All he knows right now is that he has the possibility of life, he doesn’t have the definitive truth. However, the possible revelation is so grand to them, they felt driven enough to start something like the Moon revolution. The ability to sustain life is important to them because they believe they could receive a sense of respect and adoration, like they believe the Earth has.
So Titan, in some capacity, must think his planet's favoritism is influenced by his similarities to Earth. Not because of any of Titan's own unique features or even personality. In that case Titan could be under the impression Saturn mainly sees him as being artificial to Earth. So Titan probably thought that Earth was someone he needed to be for Saturn to see as his own person, contradictory as it may sound. It just doesn't make sense for Titan to find Earth appealing. Especially since the planet is widely known as a spoiled brat and disrespectful to his own moon. It contradicts Titan's ideal that moons should be treated equal and planets should respect their moons, because supposedly Titan also wanted to be like Earth. I can reasonably infer that perhaps his admiration stems from envy for the lively planet and his obsession blinded his morality. Drawn to a fantasy that the planets could adore the moons just like they adore the Earth. He might've wished to be genuinely cherished and regarded with respect unconditionally. But, the closest he probably felt that way is when compared to the assumed favorite of the planets.
There are implications that suggest Titan is happy he has life, but likely doesn’t fully understand the responsibility and stress to sustain creatures so small. Titan wanted to be the Earth not just because he has life though. By that I mean, when he learned he possibly has life he moves around as if he doesn’t need to be careful. There’s no way he’s completely oblivious of the fragility of life when he knew a few asteroids were capable of mass extinction. Though these characters' stupidity do sometimes surprise me, and it might come to bite me in the ass later to believe in his intelligence. I do think Titan’s real interest for life was more about getting everyone to notice the moons’ potential. Life as something to cherish and care for as its sole supporter didn’t seem to be Titan’s priority when he found out he had life. An oversight the moons might’ve failed to put together was, possibly, one of the reasons Earth was pampered. One of those reasons could have been due to his practical inability to do anything the other planets could do without it being catastrophic. Earth needs a lot of help because sustaining life is hard, but Titan probably saw it as Earth can get away with almost anything because the planets think life is cool so he gets a pass.
He may have saw Earth probably receive all that praise from the planets with little competition, regardless of his ill-mannered behavior to everyone around him because he can sustain life. Titan probably feels insecure about being viewed as an earth-like doll and was desperate to prove his legitimacy. So, he used life as a stepping stone for approval; so moons could be treated as equals. Titan saw life as a path for the planets to finally respect him as his own independent individual. However, it's ironic that Titan wanted to be like Earth. He might've believed him to be this free and respected individual when in truth, Earth is the most dependant character, and he's probably three individuals sharing one vessel. Luna is two people in one body; a reminder that Earth and Luna are weird. Anyways, Titan yearned for the planets to care about the moons like the Earth, instead of objects they could flaunt to others only to be forgotten because they aren't noticeable. hypocritically, Titan had planned to use life as an accessory, but that idea was buried with a ploy to seek revenge. He opted that moons didn't need to build themselves up but tear the presumed favorite planet down. Doing so by destroying Earth’s life. He would further insult life's existence by discarding it once it no longer had relevance to (the plot) induce the planets’ attention. On a smaller scale Titan is doing what he felt like the planets were doing to them. Ultimately, life is forgotten once other alternatives for approval are brought up. Titan had belittled and objectified life, and assumed life is an asset that builds up the sustainer's social rank. Similar to how the planets objectified the moons and bragged about having them, but they often forget their moons' existence because they barely affected them. Titan probably doesn't understand the balance and sacrifice that life needs to stay alive. Instead his actions are similar to that who he accused of neglect and disrespect.
Titan's aspirations for life is simplistic. He overlooked some major agency for why it's highly regarded. Viewing life as a beneficiary so their planet would pay attention to them.
Random drawings that I made of Luna and Venus.
I'm gonna say this because I'm tired. What did they do with Titan in SolarBalls? They introduced him, gave him a couple minutes of glory, hinted that he had potential... and then they erased him from the map. His development was so poor I can't even call it development. It was more like a sketch, an idea they never finished.
The character needs an episode where he actually evolves. Where we see him face his fears, make decisions, change. No more pointless cameos. No more "oh yeah Titan exists" every 20 episodes.
And I see no one talks about this: okay, Titan treated other characters badly. He kidnapped Astrodude, he was in the Lunar Revolution, etc. But that's exactly why they could give him a redemption episode where he learns from his mistakes again... if he even learned anything, because honestly you can't tell. But no. He's just there in the background or has few lines.
And what makes me even more angry? I suspect they keep him like that on purpose so "Titan haters don't get frustrated". Like they care. Instead of giving him a well-written arc where he redeems himself, they'd rather keep him frozen. No purpose. Just to not upset a group of fans. That's lazy and cowardly.
But whatever. He ended up being a background character. A decoration. And you can tell they're not even trying anymore. If you don't care about the character, just say it. But no. They'd rather leave him there doing nothing while others take all the spotlight.
It's frustrating because Titan could give so much more. He needs a redemption episode where he faces his mistakes and truly learns.
What do you guys think? Do you think Titan needs a redemption arc or is it over for him?
Not my Titan's design but this is Titan
@muggoski Io's design
No guys, I don’t hate Titan, I swear!
I just really enjoy making him get roasted all the time by everybody bc he’s literally the Uranus of the Moons, they have a lot in common even though Uranus also doesn’t really like him—
What are the thoughts you ever have thought about Titan (from solarballs)? Tell me what you think about him pretty please
ah titan, been a while since I've fully thought about his character honestly
I think the way the show handled his character was a bit messy during the moon revolution arc, am currently a bit exhausted plus my memory needs a bit of a rewatch of the moon revolution arc to fully dive into my issues with the writing
besides that stuff
his backstory, relationship with saturn, his role in the moon revolution, his relationship with luna (I ship them honestly), and his american southen accent really pulls me into his character and personality in the show
his backstory of him being saturns favorite and all the other moons of saturn hating him for being the golden child really does peak my interest, saturns special attention to titan causes this big issue in titans relationship with other moons to be either very unpleasant or non-existent, titan does not seem to hate saturn for being the reason many others have shut him out but its more then likely he deeply resents the ringed planet for being the main thing that has kept titans relationships with other moons to be like that
being called 'middle earth' is certainly a crazy title given to such a moon
I like titan a lot and I think he is an interesting character to sink my teeth in whenever I feel like it
I ship titan with luna as they have similarity's and to me seem to find a lot of connection with their shared experiences of being isolated (in their own situations ofc)
luna is isolated from other moons as they have to stay with earth often to keep him on his axis, regulate the oceans, and overall be there for the earth to keep him and the earthlings safe from asteroids
lunas job is so important not just for himself and his big brother but also the many many many many earthlings that count on him, the sun wanting lifeforms to spread all over the universe, and just a lot of people counting on him to do his job, even if he is treated unfairly or rudely
I ship luna and titan heavily if you cant tell, I even have an au thats story has a lot of focus on the two, as their relationship when put into a romantic lens is incredibly interesting, cute, and tragic to me
hopefully my words satisfy you :3
