baby shark CANNOT be this good

the more i think about solarballs' writing the more i understand why some people tend to like just the characters rather than the show itself because dear god it is abysmal in a lot of areas lmfao

One thing that tends to peeve me about some people in this fandom is how some of us are so quick to jump and defend what Sol did to the solar system.

Look, I understand that he had his reasons and those reasons stem from positive intentions, but that does not mean they were good. He wanted everyone to be safe, sure, but...

• Locking everyone in place far away from their friends knowing they are all sentient and could suffer immensely from social deprivation (and Neptune already doing so even with their cartoonishly close orbits because he was scared of leaving due to what the Sun is capable of)

• Toying around with planet orbits in a roulette format - including Earth's when we know very well he has intelligent life that all have specific requirements to be able to survive

• Threatening to cause and actually causing harm to the other celestials on multiple occasions, even if accidental

...do not sound particularly like "good" actions to me.

I love Sol, I really do, I think he is a very interesting character and he resonates with parts of me a lot, but that doesn't mean i'm gonna jump to defend everything he's done. Even if Sol is going through a lot mentally due to past traumas, that doesn't justify the actions he's committed, it's just an explanation for why they happened. An important lesson a lot of us need to learn is "explanations for why a character does something ≠ an immediate justification." What we'd prefer Sol to have here is not forgiveness from anyone, rather a second chance to prove he can do better (but even that isn't a mandatory thing! Second chances aren't always deserved or given.)

The amount of times i've seen people say things like "The Sun did nothing wrong!!" "I am his number 1 defender!!" kills me inside. He has done bad things. He's done awful things. You should not defend him against anyone. He was, overall, a bad guy and we should not take this behaviour with a grain of salt. It is very important that we understand the difference between a justification and an explanation for experiences that may even happen to you in real life. This is exactly why Sol's character arc exists.

Just a small rant I needed to get out there now that it's half 5 in the morning and I can't sleep.
