gonna post a controversial take alright are y’all ready??
…
actually typing out emoticons like XD and :D and :V never should have gone out of fashion and you can pry them out of my cold dead hands okay I know emojis are fun but THEY DON’T CAPTURE THE EMOTION IN THE SAME WAY
There is no emoji that captures what I mean by :P (I do NOT mean “hur hur goofy-ass face!”) and the one for :^/ is not great. And lest we forget, 🤷🏻♀️ is absolutely inadequate compared to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So I’ve got the basis down for one of the remakes…
I feel guilty I didn’t really utilise Anatolia (idk if anyone remembers her because I only posted her once) but I’m hoping I can give her a lil more love this run (especially since she’s the only girl I have coughs)
I also don’t like not having a fun project to work on LMAO
But this doesn’t have any new guys (or gal) mainly just shifted and moved stuff around? I did also switch some attendants around between the two old AUs but this one is mainly a redo of the stained files & typewriters cast (plus like 4 I never got to introduce in CM & SL)
ALSO the reader can be interpreted as whatever anyone wants I just made a place holder design to use for the occasional dumb doodle or two
Summary: With everything that's been happening, Moon is understandably stressed and angry. So Sun suggests something that he used to do with the old Moon as a way to calm him down. It...well, it works, though with MUCH different reactions than the old Moon would've had (obviously).

hello-I come to bring you another tsams tkl fic!! this time with the classic brothers! had this idea for a while after i saw the hcs Sunset sent me hsfjhsf (hi by the way Sunset! :D)
this one's a little shorter than I'm used to, but hope it's still good!
anyways, enjoy!
-------
It was no secret to anyone around him that Moon was stressed. Stressed, irritated, and tired would all be accurate descriptions of him at the current moment.
Stressed due to the paranoia that another villain would come and kidnap one of his family members, irritated that there were still villains around to kidnap his family members, and tired because he had been focusing so much energy on keeping his family safe that he hadn’t had the chance to sleep.
So yeah. Maybe he wasn’t the most pleasant person to be around at the moment. And maybe he was about ready to tear the hat from his head and rip it apart from pure frustration. Buuut then he’d have to ask someone to fix it and he didn’t want to bother Earth (or Solar, since he heard that the sun-based animatronic had recently picked up sewing). Everyone already had too much going on and he didn’t want to cause such a trivial problem.
Moon finally turned off the camera footage that he had been playing on loop in his head for some kind of hint as to how Eclipse did…anything! Everything that surrounded the supposed-to-be-dead villain was shrouded in a mystery that he was slowly losing patience in solving.
He sighed roughly from his place at the plugin area. He had kept himself plugged in while he was searching the footage so he wouldn’t accidentally bring himself down to a dangerously low percentage (he honestly wished Solar did the same sometimes). He then unplugged himself and stepped away from the wall, stumbling a little.
God, he was tired.
Despite the fact that the action was pointless for a robot, Moon yawned and stretched slightly. He blamed that odd quirk he had on the fact that he was originally the nighttime attendant and probably had some weird ‘sleepytime’ programs built into him. Though, if he was reset then wouldn’t that have reset as well? No, then that would mean that he wouldn’t have been able to speak when he ‘woke up’.
Moon groaned loudly and pressed his palms into his eyes. He was definitely spending too much time on analysis. Now he was analyzing the programming he should already have an adept understanding of.
He should probably sleep.
But he had to keep looking.
But he was tiiireddd.
Both his stress and his exhaustion were battling over his choices for a good few seconds before the war ended up brewing even more frustration. And he couldn’t just transfer his work-in-progress to Solar, not since he became more aware of just how much his newly adopted family member had been putting on himself. Besides, it wasn’t like Moon had much ‘progress’ to begin with.
Still, he felt like he had to do something. Even if he also felt like curling up on the floor right then and there and passing out. Even if that also wouldn’t work due to the amount of stress and anxiety and anger brewing up in his chest.
Moon groaned again, loud enough to where it bordered on a scream. He didn’t know what to do.
“Uh-”
Moon quickly turned around to face the entrance of the room.
Sun was there, hands held up with his fingers curled slightly inwards as if to…well, Moon didn’t know what exactly, but it was a motion reminiscent of how one would look when trying to calm a wild animal. And–oh. Right. Moon probably sounded pretty angry there. Which…wasn’t inaccurate, to be fair.
Still, this was his brother. And Sun had already talked to him a couple times on where to direct his anger. And the last person Moon wanted to direct anger at was his twin.
So he just inhaled and exhaled once (simulated, of course), hoping that would release some of the tension in his body. “Hi,” he greeted simply, still sounding tense. So the breathing thing didn’t work. Great.
“Hey,” Sun greeted back, hesitant as he usually would be when Moon was angry. “Are you…uh…are you okay?”
Do not be sarcastic. Do NOT be sarcastic. Do not snap. Do not snap. This is SUN. You promised you wouldn’t snap at him again. Moon took another deep ‘breath’. “No. I’m not. I am tired and I am stressed.”
“Yeah…I think we’re all a little…that,” Sun responded, hesitant still. “With everything that’s been going on, it’d be…kind of hard not to be that.”
“Yeah,” Moon replied shortly. He sighed and held a hand to his face. “Did you need something?” He honestly hoped the other didn’t. He didn’t know if he could handle any extended interaction.
“Uh, well…we do kinda have to record a video…” Sun said quietly (or as quietly as he could).
Moon couldn’t stop the loud, aggravated groan that escaped him at that. It wasn’t that he disliked playing games with his brother or anything. He just did not have the patience to record a video while remaining relatively calm. “Can’t we just…put out a pre-recorded one? Or–I don’t know–do one of those compilation videos?” he asked in a strained voice.
“Well, uh…I think we still have the rest of our Help Wanted playthrough? If you’d…rather just give that to our editor…” Sun told him, fidgeting with his hands.
“Please,” Moon practically growled out. “Because I really don’t think I can record today.”
“Yeahhh…I can-I can tell,” Sun commented, sounding more like acknowledgement than anything else. “And uh…what about you?” he asked suddenly.
“What about me?” Moon questioned, blinking slowly.
“Did uh–did you need anything?”
“A nap. And a break. Either one of those would be fucking lovely,” Moon responded honestly.
“Yeah…” Sun agreed. “Uh-” he started as if to say something, then abruptly cut himself off.
“What. What is it?” Moon asked roughly, then made a sound like he was sucking in air through his teeth. “Sorry. What is it?” he repeated a little more softly.
Sun hesitated before seemingly trying to continue what he was originally going to say. “I mean, I’m pretty sure a nap wouldn’t hurt? I-I mean, I know you have…stuff to do, but-uh…” He rubbed the back of his faceplate. He seemed to have more he wanted to say but for the moment, he wasn’t speaking.
So Moon decided to speak, starting with a sigh. “I don’t think I even can take a nap right now. I am stressed, Sun. Really. Fucking. Stressed.”
“I know that!” Sun snapped slightly, holding up his hands again. “I just–okay. I…I have an idea to…I guess help both of us with that? Kinda? Mainly just you…” he mumbled. “I don’t exactly know if it’ll work though…”
“Brother, listen,” Moon said as he walked over to his twin to place both hands on the other’s shoulders. “I am open to anything at this point.” Okay, maybe he really wanted a fucking break. “At this point, I think it would be better anyway if I took a break,” he admitted, even if several other parts of him screamed to get back to work.
“Right…okay,” Sun mumbled, backing away slightly so Moon would remove his hands. “Uh…you wanna do it here or…?” He looked around the dilapidated room.
“Depends on what it is,” Moon responded, letting his arms drop to his sides. “Is it something we need to sit down for?”
“Kinda? Yeah, actually…” Sun told him, folding his hands over each other. “Is uh, is that room still…good?” He pointed at the curtained area that covered the tunnel leading to Moon’s old room.
“I think so. Solar says he sleeps in there. Though–” Moon sighed. “Chances are he’s not in there. It’s not like it’s anyone’s room anymore anyways.” He wasn’t even sure what it looked like anymore. “Whatever. It should be fine.”
“Right. Uh, let’s go in there then. And hope it has a mattress or something.”
“It should.”
With that exchange of words, Moon walked over to the curtain and pulled it back to reveal the tunnel hiding behind it. Then he gestured for his brother to enter, which he did, followed by the former nighttime attendant.
The inside of the room…actually hadn’t changed much. It was surprisingly still considerably lit and the mattress, among other softer items, were still in decent condition.
“Huh. I was…honestly expecting this to be a lot more destroyed,” Sun commented.
“Mhm,” Moon hummed shortly, sitting down on the mattress without much thought. It didn’t even creak. “So…are you gonna do some kind of hypnosis or something? Did Earth teach you anything?”
“Uh, no, not really. You’re the one who has the hypnosis feature anyways…” Sun admitted, following his brother in sitting down.
He did? “I do?” Moon questioned, dropping his annoyed tone for the first time to make way for a genuinely confused one.
“Yeah? You didn’t-did you not know you have that???” Sun asked incredulously, moving his head in a way that suggested he would be emoting utter bafflement if he could.
“No???” Moon responded in a question. “I have a hypnosis feature???”
“Yes??? How else do you think you were supposed to get some kids to sleep?” Sun asked him as if that was a normal thing to say.
Moon shook his head slightly. “Wow. Okay. Fazbear really does not like children.”
“I don’t know what you were expecting from a company that puts caffeine into children’s candy,” Sun said blankly.
“No, that’s fair.” Honestly, Moon was wondering why he was even surprised in the first place.
“I’m also surprised you didn’t know about that sooner.”
“Well, if you haven’t noticed, things have been a liiittle hectic lately.” Ah, there was the anger and stress.
“Right…” Sun paused before shaking his head. “Anyway, uh…right. The thing. Um, so…this is something I used to do with…the old you.” Moon could feel both of them get a little more tense from the mention of the previous Moon. “Not that I’m-! I’m not trying to say that this’ll work on you because you’re…Moon, I just-I don’t know. I thought that it could work? Maybe? It helped with…the old Moon when he was stressed…”
Moon could see that his brother was starting to get a little frantic in his ramblings, so he pushed down his annoyance and gently placed his hand on the other’s shoulder. “Sun. Hey.” He waited until his twin looked up at him. “I said I was open to anything and I still am. So. Go ahead. Besides, if it could calm down that prick, then who knows? Maybe it’ll work.” He tried to be lighthearted in his words, but unfortunately, annoyance and lighthearted didn’t go well together. He just hoped Sun understood.
Sun hesitated then sighed and held out a hand. “Alright…okay, uh, can you give me your hand?” he asked suddenly.
Moon decided not to question the strange request too much. He was still gonna question it though. “Okay…wwwhyyy?” He gently placed his hand on his brother’s outstretched one, removing his other hand and letting it sit on the mattress.
Sun then turned over Moon’s hand so his palm was facing upwards. “Well, when my-the-the other Moon was stressed, sometimes he would…uh, he would ask me to trace around on his palms. He said it was calming so…maybe it’ll work for you?”
And Moon…had no idea that was even a thing with the old Moon. He had assumed that not everything was recorded and uploaded to the channel, so he wasn’t expecting to view every little detail. But he would have expected maybe a small implication or mention–actually, never mind. With how closed-off the old Moon was, he probably shouldn’t have expected something this affectionate to have any sort of mention if the old him could help it.
“Uh…y’know what? Sure.” Plus, the confusion was helping a little already. “Go ahead.”
“Alright.”
Then Sun started gently tracing a finger around on Moon’s palm, just as he said, starting in the center and creating a soft, spiraling motion.
It would’ve been nice (and it…well, it was), however, Moon didn’t account for the sudden ticklish sensation he would be experiencing. He gave a full-body flinch, holding back a barrage of raspy giggles that threatened to escape. “I-It t-” he tried to say, only to hold onto his metaphorical breath when Sun smoothly ran his finger around to trace a single line across the center of his palm.
“What?” Sun asked, not pausing in his tracing motions.
Moon tried speaking again, squirming slightly and feeling his fingers twitch as Sun began running his finger back and forth in that same line as if it were an idle motion. “Itststststs-” He held a hand over his smile even though that did absolutely nothing to muffle anything as he let out a sprinkler-like laugh.
Even though Sun had definitely noticed the action was tickling Moon by this point, he still didn’t stop. “What? What is it?” While his tone sounded fairly concerned, it was clear from the way he curled his finger to scritch lightly at the center of Moon’s palm that he knew exactly what he was doing.
“Iihihihit tiHIHIHIckles!” Moon was finally able to get out, turning his head slightly and trying to hide as much of his face as possible with his hand.
“Oh wow. Really? I had no idea!” Sun exclaimed in a show of over-exaggeration and it was like his usual stutter-filled mannerisms had completely vanished.
“Yeheheah yohohohou dihihHIHID!” Moon tried to sound accusatory but the spiked giggles did not help convey that tone for him at all. And then Sun started gently dragging four of his fingers in individual, circular strokes across the whole of his palm. Then it was like Moon couldn’t stop the giggles from leaving his voicebox. “Yohohohou knohohohohow whaHAHAHAt yohohou’re dohohoing!”
“Hm, no, I don’t think I do. Would you mind telling me, dear brother? That should be easy for you,” Sun teased while giving off an air of faux casualness. Though the complete casualness was practically lost as he kept up his tickling motions.
“YohohoHOHOHOU-” Moon tried to say, laughter overtaking the insult he had on his metaphorical tongue. Then he almost ripped his hand away when Sun switched back to scritching at his palm, taking on more of a scribbling technique, keeping his fingers’ range short but rapid in motion. Moon could tell Sun definitely had a bit of experience with this because it tickled like all hell. He even started kicking his feet slightly while the rest of him started squirming more violently. “NAHAHAHAHAHA!! SUHUHUHUN!!” How the FUCK did this tickle so much??? He could feel his face being exposed once more as his body movements became more uncontrolled.
“Yes? That’s my name, dear brother,” Sun responded simply. If he could smile any wider, Moon was positive that smile would’ve taken up his brother’s whole face. “Hmmm, you still haven’t told me what I’m doing. You’ve only said my name and nothing else!”
“ThahahaHAHAHAT’S BECAHAHAHAUSE YOHOHOHOU’RE TIHIHIHIHICKLING ME!! AND YOHOHOU KNOHOHOHOW IHIHIHIT!!” Moon finally forced out before his laughter could completely take over his vocabulary. Even though he wasn’t embarrassed by the concept itself, it was still flustering to say the action out loud. So once again, he turned his body and head away as much as he could while holding a hand over his face.
“Oh! Wow! That must’ve been why you said you were being tickled! It was me all along!” Sun exclaimed as though a big revelation had been placed upon him. And while he did, he changed tactics once more to lightly tracing the outer area of Moon’s palm with a single finger, which somehow tickled more.
“YEHEHEHEHES! Of cohohohohourse ihihIHIHIT WAS YOHOHOHOU!” Moon responded, the volume of his laughter going up and down depending on what part of his palm Sun was tickling. Giggles spilled out from his voice box when Sun neared the center of his palm and louder laughs were earned when the gentle, tracing motions traveled to the ‘outer rim’ of his hand. “Dohohohon’t plahahahay duhuhuhuHUHUMB!!”
Sun gasped like he had been personally insulted. “Well! How was I supposed to know I was tickling you when you weren’t telling me? Sounds like a you problem, brother of mine.”
“Dohohon’t puhuhuhut the blahahahame on mEHEHEHE!! Thihihis wahahahahas yohohohour ideheHEHEHEhea!” Moon accused–or tried to. Again, the constant shift of giggles to louder laughter made it very hard to convey any other tone besides playfulness or flusteredness. It also didn’t help that Sun had realized this little fact of him having more ticklish parts of his palm and began making squiggly lines all around his palm, getting both the milder and more ticklish spots all at once.
“Well, yes. Yes, it was. Buuut I also don’t hear you telling me to stop, sooo-” Sun made a cocky lip-smacking sound. “Y’know, I guess I have to continue,” he continued to sass his brother. “Since you seem to like this so much.”
“I dihihihihihidn’t sahahahahay thAHAHAHAT!” Moon protested immediately, squirming just a little too much to make it comfortable for anyone to hold onto such a small part of him. It was then that he felt his brother shift to hold his arm under his own, leaving it at the mercy of Sun’s continuous tickling. “Waihehehehehehe-”
“Whaaat? You were moving around too much!” Sun defended, somehow sounding even more smug. “I had to get this part of you to sit still somehow.”
Moon felt the squiggly motions continue and he felt like his body was copying the actions his hand was being subject to. How was it that such a small part of him could tickle so much and seem so easy to pull away but make him feel so unable to do anything??? “Ihehehehehe-nahaHAHAHAHA!!”
“I must say, brother, I quite like this little volume-adjusting spot you have! Look, I can just-” Sun stopped the indecisive squiggles and started swirling a cyclone in the middle of his brother’s palm.
“YOHOhohohou lihihihihittle-hehehehahahaha…!” Just like that, the louder laughs that Moon had been producing were reduced to giggling. He didn’t even know what he was saying at that point.
“And you get muuuch quieter! And then if I can’t hear you, I can just do this!” Sun continued as if he wasn’t reducing his twin to a wiggly string of laughter. As he spoke the last few words, he smoothly transitioned his finger to tracing a larger circle around the outside of Moon’s palm.
“NeheheHAHAHAHA!! SUHUHUHUHUN!!” Despite the gentler tickling, Moon felt his giggling spike back up to more frantic peals of laughter, kicking his legs out from the sides of his brother and messing up the blanket that had been laid out on the mattress.
“See! Prrret-ty cool little feature,” Sun commented casually. “I honestly wasn’t expecting you to react like this, so I’d say this is a pleasant surprise.”
Moon couldn’t say he expected this either. But he didn’t have anything left to offer but more laughter, quieting down as Sun returned to tickling the center of his palm. “Mmkekekekekehehehe…” He felt something more akin to a snicker interrupt his giggling, which just amused him and added an extra kick to his laughter.
“Did you just unironically do the ‘kekeke’ thing???” Sun questioned, sounding both flabbergasted and amused at the same time, letting out a small wheeze as he spoke.
“I cahahahahan’t cohohohohontrol thahahahahat…shUHUHUHUT UHUHUP!!” Moon suddenly burst out as the gentle tickling slowly traveled to the more sensitive parts of his hand. But also, his brother was laughing at him now! “StahahaHAHAHAP LAHAHAHAUGHING!”
“I dohohon’t think you’re in any position to tell me that, brother,” Sun responded, his own laughter peeking through slightly.
“Oh, shuhuhuhuhut aHAHAHAP!” Moon retorted, not that it had much effect. He felt his body start shaking a little more violently as it was over taken with frantic laughter and loss of control. He was practically curled up at this point with the squirming energy that had overcome his body now transferring solely to his kicking legs.
Eventually, Moon just…dropped the hand covering his face and bonked his head on his brother’s back. But he felt like he had to do something with his extra hand so without thinking, he just wrapped his free arm over his brother’s stomach region. Then he was just giggling into Sun’s back where his shoulder blades would be, shaking from laughter.
Then gradually, he felt Sun’s finger slow on his hand until it was completely still. “...uh, Moon?” he suddenly asked, sounding much less teasy than before.
“Whahahahat…?” Moon giggled out, still feeling the ghost tickles dancing over his palm.
“...do you need me to stop?” Sun questioned, slowly rubbing his own palm over his brother’s, perhaps to alleviate the remaining ticklish feeling.
Moon felt the shaking gradually cease alongside his giggles until he just had his face calmly shoved into Sun’s back while he tried to think up a response. He felt…tired, but a much better tired than he was feeling before. And…he felt…calmer. A lot calmer, actually.
…okay, maybe the palm thing had helped. Quite a bit.
But even so…
Moon grumbled into his twin’s back. “...can you keep going?” he asked, almost wanting to deafen his auditory units just so he couldn’t hear the response. He wasn’t sure what that would do, but he just knew he wanted to hide in general.
…he also realized that he was still hugging his brother, who wasn’t the biggest ball of affection, to be clear. So he straightened his back and lifted his head, unwrapping his arm from around Sun’s stomach and letting it lie by his side. “Sorry…”
Sun scooted forward a little, letting go of the former nighttime attendant’s hand momentarily to turn himself around. “It’s fine. But…you wanted me to keep going?” he asked again, holding his brother’s hand and positioning his own hand over it in a claw-like manner, teetering on the edge of being playful once again.
Moon grumbled again, pulling his nightcap over his face then wondering why he didn’t do that in the first place. It covered a lot more. “...yeah,” he confirmed. “But-!” His brother stopped his hand from ascending on the lunar-themed animatronic’s still-senstitive palm. “Somewhere else…? And not for too long. ‘M tired…” God, this was flustering.
“Gotcha,” Sun responded, releasing his twin’s hand and putting a hand to his chin as if he were inspecting a ware in a store. “Hmmm, now where-oh-where would my dearest brother like to be tickled next?...”
Moon groaned and used both hands to pull his nightcap completely over his face. “Oh, don’t say it like that, you little-”
“You asked for this!” Sun protested.
“After you suggested it!” Moon responded, lifting his cap to glare at his brother, though with no heat whatsoever.
“And you’re the one who wanted me to continue!”
And…Moon had no response to that, crossing his arms and grumpily looking away. He wished he could pout, but alas.
“Now. Hmmm…” Sun hummed, then raised his hand to his twin’s face. “I think I know the perfect spot! You said you were tired, after all…”
Oh. Wait. “Suhuhuhuhun-mehehehehehe…” Moon felt fingers gently drag along his crescent, wiggling slightly and swirling at random intervals. “Whihihihihy-ehehehe-” he giggled out, lowering his head and attempting to scrunch up his nonexistence shoulders. Neither of which helped alleviate the sensation.
“You said you were tired! And we both know this helps,” Sun replied simply, stopping his tickling for a moment so he could move to Moon’s side. Then he went right back to it, tapping his fingers lightly against his brother’s chin and adding some scribbling into the mix to restart the giggles.
“Thahahahat dohohohoesn’t mahahakehehehe-” Moon stopped to lightly shake his head, tightening his crossed arms and curling up slightly. “-ihihihit any lehehehess embahahaharassihihing…”
“Oh, I know that,” Sun replied immediately, sounding every bit smug about embarrassing his brother.
“Fuhuhuhuck yohohohou…” Moon tried to instinctually move his head away, but his twin’s fingers continued to follow him, so that was pointless.
Sun didn’t pause once in his motions, but Moon flinched when he felt his brother’s other hand graze over his back. “GeheheHEHE-Suhuhuhun nohohoho…”
“Y’know, I could be incredibly mean to you right now, but I’m not going to. Aren’t I a great brother, Moon?” Oh, Moon could hear the smug grin in Sun’s voice.
“Yohohou suhuhuhuck…” Despite the threat of one of his worst spots being targeted, Moon still decided to be sassy in return. He knew Sun was just bluffing anyway.
Moon felt Sun continue lightly tickling his crescent, relaxing him further. Then a loud guffaw of laughter left him when he felt fingers quickly scribble at his back, then leave a moment later. “SUHUHUN!!”
“Like I said, I could be mean, Moon,” Sun reiterated his statement. “...but! I’m not going to. Because I’m nice.”
“Agahehehein, fuhuhuhuck yohohou…” Moon repeated boldly, giggling increasing directly after when Sun began rapidly scribbling at his chin, making him throw his head around to try and escape the feeling.
“Screw you too.”
Then it was like the leak in Moon’s bag of energy enlarged and was now draining even quicker, because it wasn’t long until he felt his arms slowly uncross and his whole body start metaphorically melting. Then he fell backwards onto the mattress, so quickly that Sun didn’t have time to follow with his tickle attack.
“...Moon?” Sun asked, leaning over his brother and looking at his face.
Moon was still giggling slightly, but now his eyes were closed and it looked like he was veering closer and closer to the sleep he had so desperately craved earlier. It wasn’t long until the giggles peetered off into snoring.
Sun blinked. Well. That was fast.
Even though he was sure that Moon would not be waking up anytime soon, Sun slowly started moving to leave the room and let his brother sleep.
Then stopped when he felt something on his arm. Or rather, something around his arm.
He looked down at his arm to see his brother had…basically hugged it to his face and was using it as a fucking teddy bear.
Sun groaned as quietly as he could. Then paused and sighed, laying down next to his brother, turning his arm so the other could still hug it.
He was…most likely not going to go to sleep as quickly as Moon.
My piece for the mini bang! The Gilded Face of a Gentleman is a fic featuring dca x fem reader with a sorta steam punk-regency vibe! People should go read it :3
Tsams Au/How do you heal a Broken Sun?: Security mode
Sooooo, You guys know about my dragon sun design, well like i mentioned in the fic, It's a security mode for sun, Though what i DIDN'T mention was that it had had a safe mode to it. whiich is what i've drawn on the left.
Both are deadly in their own way, the dragon Form's more for slicing and tearing at enemies, whilst being darker in colouring. The bird-like one's alot brighter in colour and used more for Speed.
Sun likes the safe mode more, just so he could have the zoomies and run around, and have fun, just look at how happy he looks! XD That's pure joy on his face. (Also quick note, those eyes of his are just what they look like when he's excited about something, He still has the slit snake eyes like the dragon mode does :3)
Here she iiiss!!!! (I still think adjustments are needed but 😭 Still!!), Venus is here!!! 🥰 In all of her smug ass glory!
I have the lil mask bit drawn too though 😅 Nothing changed much.
Nowww, for a small surprise~
I GOT SATURN FINISHED TOO!!
Nowww, onto a small few tidbits for this lovely lady~
Sooo under that Visor of hers, her eyes are kinda screwy due to Light sensitivity. If that visor's off, Wellp 😅 it'd be like a flashbang to the face and feel like she was burning, I won't say it was cuz of a family issue, orrr a mission, Thoughhh someone caused that to happen.(✨Trauma folks~ Trauma✨)
I kept her outfit Mooostly similar?? though i maay or may not have added tiiny hints to these two (The art belongs to the Lovely Kainabunny )
Nowww for the hairr! i went with a sort of half-up style (Coughcough Inspired by her mom). Aanndd well, She has a Hair clip/Clamp bit at the back. I borrowed the lil saturn bit on it from one of her old concept designs actually!
That one to be exact, i just, well, Switched it to a more pinky colour so it'd look good against her hair.
i'mma add on, as a behind-the-scenes thing, I played this song on repeat 🤣 I love fire emblemmm!!!! God help me if i had the patience to play the games but The characters look so goood!!! 😍 (Plus, I'mma say it, Claude's hot, though DAAMNN Dimitri, depression did him good in the timeskip 🤤)
Thoughh..My first exposure to this series was Fire Emblem Fates, Via Azura's song "Lost in Thoughts All Alone" , THOUGH HER NOHR DANCE SCENE WAS JUST SO GOOD! like LOOK AT THIS!! 😍 (I did find a no Garon clip so, heads up 😅)
Loose sketches of a Makara Astralis Eclipse, inspired by the stream a few weeks back.
I think that Eclipse could actually be adapted pretty easily into the society of the Maraka Astralis, considering how at the end of the day, he's a jester and Saturn is a princess! They'd probably still meet in a dimension where they were born as the same species, which is cute. I designed him as a court jester, but Eclipse is a tad to nice to serve as one I fear (as their whole job was essentially just to make fun of/critique the people in power), which is why I think he would likely work alongside Sun and Moon as a trio. (Eclipse and Moon have a sort of good-cop bad-cop dynamic going on, meanwhile Sun is just pure comedic relief)
I also have an alternate version of the design where he's a more traditional Makara Astralis in line with the soldiers we've seen. However, I still imagine him taking on a more civilian role, so he's just a caretaker of the younger members of the clan who are too young to start training.
I tried to make his halo pretty simple since I remember the show implied there was a difference between royal halos and the ones civilians have, but if this one is still too complex maybe he could get it after marrying Saturn.
Notes below:
I don't think we know a lot of details about the Makara Astralis as a species, but I do vaguely remember at one point it being stated that there are a variety of skin colours they can have, though I don't remember it being stated what that range is (like, is it just shades of blue, a range of cool tones, or actually just the whole the whole kit and caboodle of colours like Novakids or Florans in Starbound?) This is why Eclipse has a more indigo tinted skin-tone.
(Cause Pluto's introduction just makes me more interested about how Makara Astralis genetics work. His hair became red (on stream they speculated its dyed by blood, but thats a whole 'nother bag of worms)? And was initially orange? I thought Venus' hair was dyed orange. And between the Grand Celestial and the siblings' mom, they only have blue tones in their hair -- Venus' purple hair, both Venus and Neptune's black sclara, AND Neptune's darker skin was already very different, and now we've got a whole new recessive gene going on. Are the recessive genes just REALLY strong? Or do Makara Astralis genetics work differently altogether? Do all Makara Astralis families look so different from each other? Many questions,,)
Sun sat pacing at the door, waiting for a guest. Dahlia was coming to pick him up soon for more training, and he couldn't help but feel nervous. He wasn't used to different elements and how they feel, but that was part of the lesson. It still felt weird…
Soon a knock came at the door and Sun almost immediately answered it, having been only a little bit impatient. "Good evening, Sun," Dahlia greeted with a polite wave. "Ready to go?"
"As ready as I can be," Sun nervously laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. "What element are we working with today?"
"You'll see soon," Dahlia nods, teleporting them out of the house.
"Ookay-" Sun balances himself as they land on a cloud. "Oh dear go- are we in the sky?!"
"You sound just as surprised as when we were in my oasis. Is it really that shocking?" They ask, tilting his head in curiosity.
"I mean- No- It's just- How??"
"Anything is possible, this shouldn't be any different. Anyway, today we're dealing with more air magic."
"I see… So why in the clouds?"
"Because you're going to learn how to move them to make the weather cloudy, fair, and clear. But first, you need to meditate."
"Okay, uhm… I guess anywhere works huh?"
"We are in the clouds, Sun… Not much else to go," Dahlia said, holding his hands together patiently.
"Yeah, f-fair…" Sun trailed off, sitting down and closing his eyes to focus on the energy around him. Though he couldn't help but stifle a giggle as he squirmed slightly.
"Are you okay, Sun? You seem… uncomfortable."
"N-no- It's no-nohothing- Just… The magic- ti-tihickles?" Sun tried to hold back his giggles.
"It… tickles? That's a new one, though I suppose it makes sense being that the clouds are fluffy… Like a… Oh I see~" Dahlia smiles. "I did not know you could be ticklish. Especially to feathers," Dahlia can't help but chuckle.
Something about the blunt statement to the situation made the flood gates open. Sun fell back onto his elbow, using the other arm to try and swat the nonexistent tickling away, giggling fully. "Oho- oho gahad D- Dahahalia I cahahan't focus liheheke this-!"
"You have to push though it, Sun. Here, I'll help," Dahlia grins, and goes up behind Sun to sit him up. "Now try to focus on the magic, not the feeling. I want you to try and push the clouds."
"Ohokay-" Sun clears his throat "Okay-" he nods, closing his eyes again to focus.
Dahlia watches for a few moments before deciding to be mischievous. Summoning their other arms, he places his hands on Sun's sides and ribs. They felt Sun physically tense and squeak, but did his best to keep his composure.
"You're doing good, Sun, keep it up," Dahlia encouraged, letting his fingers flex.
Sun squeaked once more, feeling more giggles bubble up as the feeling of the magic returned. "Nononono Dahahalia-!"
"Yes, Sun?"
"Dohohohon't!"
"Don't what? I am not doing anything. I am simply just sitting here."
"Tihihickle meeehehehe-"
"Well since you asked so nicely~"
"Waiteaitwait THAT'S NOT NAHAHA!" Sun squealed as Dahlia srtarted tickling both sides of his ribs and hips at the same time.
Of course the magic in the air didn't help either, it almost felt like it was targeting him too. He could feel what felt like feathers sawing in-between his toes, and he wondered if he was doing it to himself. It wouldn't be the first time, nor would it be the last… Not wanting to disturb anybody during his lee moods was a bad habit of his. Though, sometimes casting the spell was purely accidental. Now seemed to be one of those times.
"Well, I see someone likes the attention~" Dahlia teases, looking at the orange feathers surrounding the poor sun model in front of him. "Quite the spell that you know~ But I need you to focus on the clouds, Sun. Tsk tsk tsk…"
"IHEHEHE-! IHE AHAHAM TRYIIIHIHIHIHING!!"
"What was that? I can't hear you over your screaming~" Dahlia laughs along, switching up his placements and tactics, squeezing his sides and tracing his rays.
Sun flails his arms, trying to regain the upper hand on his magic, trying to focus and move a cloud, but the other feathers take advantage of his exposed underarms as they dive and swipe along the wires, making Sun fall into Dahlia's chest cackling and squealing.
"Ihehe- EEEEE!!" Sun suddenly squeal-screams as he arches his back.
"Sun?!" Dahlia stops his attack, pulling all his hands away and second arms disappearing. He observed Sun, who was now scream laughing and clawing the ground, kicking his legs. A feather had made his way to tickle around and inside the loop on his back.
"DAHAHALIA- HEHEHELP!!"
"Sun, disperse your magic! I can't help you with this!" Dahlia states, trying to Sun to stop writhing.
Almost as if on cue, the feathers float away, not fully disappearing. Dahlia observed them curiously… Did the feathers know its owner's limits? If so, that was a powerful control over one's own magic. "Sun… This isn't your first time with this spell is it?"
Sun panted limply on the floor, and looked at Dahlia with one of guilt. "N.. nohoho…"
"Oh Sun… May I ask why?" Dahlia wonders, helping Sun to sit up, and summoned a cupped handfull of water to help Sun drink.
Sun drank the water graciously. "Ihe… I uhm… I feel like a disturbance when I get into… my moods. So I learned to t-tickle myself," He said sadly, waving off the feathers to dispell them.
"Sun, you're not a disturbance… I think it's cute that you like it."
Sun felt hot in the face, covering it. "I UHM- …Thank you, I suppose…" he peeked at Dahlia through his fingers. They wore a polite smile, but Sun could tell they were still concerned. "But I'm fine, Dahlia…"
"Are you still in a lee mood now?" Dahlia asks, tilting his head. "I can tickle you again if so."
"I uhhh…" Sun's face got more red as he basically buffered. "Yeah… just… be gentle, I'm reaching my limit before I'm overstimulated."
"As you wish, Sun," Dahlia nodded, and sat down again to pull Sun back into their lap.
They didn't even pull out the second arms as he started tracing shapes into Sun's stomach. Said man started frantically giggling as he wiggled around. "Tihihickles…"
"It's supposed too, is it not~?"
"Yeahaha…"
"Then I'm doing my job well, it seems."
Dahlia chuckles, switching to wiggling his fingers along Sun's rays again. Sun fell into a series of squeaky giggles, trying to scrunch his shoulders to the beat of his ability, wiggling his rays to avoid Dahlia's dancing fingers, but to no avail. All he could do was get lost in the sensation as the feeling of the tickly atmosphere made his stomach fill with butterflies.
"Aww~ So helplessly ticklish…~ Ticky, ticky, ticky~"
"EEEEheheheee not thaaaahahahat!" Sun squealed, hiding his blushing face.
"But why not, dear Sun? I think it is quite effective~" Dahlia purrs close to Sun, switching to tracing his ribs and the dent on his tummy.
Sun doesn't say anything, just kicks his legs with another squeal, letting his arms flail about. Cackling as he wiggles and writhes. Dahlia watches carefully before pulling his hands away and letting Sun go limp in his lap.
"Whaha…? Whyheheh'd you stahahap?" Sun slurred his words, asking as he dizzily looked up at Dahlia.
Dahlia chuckled, and rubbed away the ghost tickles. "I feel you've reached your limit, and I will let you rest for a bit."
"But… sss'felt nice…"
"And we can continue when you rest up, Sun."
"Ohhhkaaay," Sun sleepily giggles as he curls up in Dahlia's lap.
Dahlia smiles warmly, and teleports them back home, placing Sun in bed. They then went downstairs to wait. Once Sun woke up, he could have some tea…
