Ok. Yeah. Yeah let's just do that yeah

ok so i watched the new solarballs during the premiere and i certainly have some comments to make (spoilers below)

1. EARTH WAS SPITTING FACTS.

someone had to tell sol to his face eventually and i'm so glad it actually happened lmao.

"I sometimes wonder how my Earthlings feel about me. If I am being responsible with their needs. You know when I know i'm doing a good job? When they don't even think about it. When they live their lives completely unaware of how delicate the balance of the universe is. That's when I know i'm up to the task; when they don't even thank me."

"You lost yourself in your power, Sun. We may not be a literal family, but you're the closest thing we have to a father. I know you were trying to do a good job, but ignoring what we tell you, losing your patience, yelling, threatening us all for the sake of keeping us safe, it just made us fear you."

THIS. THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING TO HEAR FOR SO LONG. THANK YOU EARTH.

2. Astrodude isn't dead. yet

i knew he wasn't lmao. they're probably just gonna take him back to earth's orbit and TRY and revive the dude. poor guy

3. what do the rogues mean exactly when they say they "want the earth??"

they talk a lot about the idea of recruiting earth to the army but then they say it as if it's something malicious. what other intentions do they have with him other than seeing if OTS can host a planet with life (which the other planets already know about?) what motivations could make them talk about it in such a way? maybe i'm missing something, or i'm not and we'll find out next episode? the dwarfs (and proteus) seem to have figured it out, but we just don't know anything ourselves yet.

4. WTF ARE THEY GONNA DO TO THE DWARF PLANETS.

where did wise take them. what is going to happen. how are they gonna fix things. are they gonna locate the centauri system after being stranded in space? is that why they've been shown in the shadows of promotional art before?? i know they're going to play a prominent role in the future just based off speculation, but i feel that this arc just might be their moment

5. WDYM SEPARATE EVERYONE??? AND FIND A MILLION PLANETS EACH???

ok, so that's just overkill AND not smart considering some planets have severe memory issues and went INSANE from being alone for so long. yes this is about neptune. he's not even gonna have his damn MOONS this time he's just gonna be totally alone?

and they can only come back after [pt: after] they've recruited a million? how would that even work? you can't just bring that on them without allowing them to discuss it further.

"oh, yeah, so your goal is to recruit a million planets EACH. and you can only come back to us after you're done. don't worry about anything like getting lost and never finding your way back or any dangers like that. no big deal. oh also we aren't going to tell you why we need so many! goodbye." ITS SO STUPID DUDE

ok yeah uhm can't wait for more!!

[atseptic]

SO! Solarballs is out. Little fun fact for you: my Patreon free trial ends TOMORROW so i've already seen the next episode! You should look forward to it, some development happens that I think you'll really want to see.

Well, that being said, now I can finally share my first impressions of the episode! Spoilers below 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

1. Poor Ogle man 💔

THE HELIX NEBULA. REALLY. Dude was going anywhere except the solar system lmao. At least he got there in the end. Maybe something will happen that we don't expect, because I doubt it would be that easy to just... get Earth and Luna to come with.

2. AWWW AWWW AWWW

THEM. JUST THEM. I could not get over their little smiles for the whole week and I STILL CANT. THEYRE SO CUTEEEE IVE BEEN WAITING FOR MOMENTS LIKE THIS FROM THESE GUYS FOR AGES 😭😭😭😭😭😭 when i tell you i was replaying that scene CONSTANTLY up until today i am not even exaggerating. that is exactly what ive been doing

but i don't ship them ew icky yuck ew i just love seeing a favourite duo/trio of mine get screentime

i wish luna was more involved in that little bit i might have just died in a good way

I'm so glad Luna and Earth are talking sense into Sol now. He's making so much progress and i'm so proud of him dude 🥲 accepting every criticism, learning from Earth, realisations from Luna, it's all working out okay! Obviously we can't really control if Sunny has any mood swings or intense episodes, but he can change his overall attitude towards everyone.

Now X's plan for Ogle needs to go well too.

(Also, it was very refreshing to see an educational sequence. Thanks, Earth.)

3. YESSSSSSS ASTRODUDE IS OKAYYYYY

YEYYSYSYSY I knew he wasn't going to die obviously since he's the main Earthling, but HES ALIVE AND HES GOOD AND ALSO FREAKED OUT BECAUSE I WOULD BE TOO IF THE ROBOTS I WAS MEANT TO BE ON BAD TERMS WITH DECIDED TO BE MY DOCTOR LIKE. And then Earth thinks he's EXCITED like no my dear planet he is NOT

4. WISE YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND

Words can barely express how happy I am about that. He could've gone to Simp and told her, he could have gone against X, yet he didn't. I can tell he's gonna have a conflict about this in the future and I am SO hyped about it. I actually love him now lmao there goes my mixed feelings

Unfortunately now marks the moment I must end my Patreon free trial. That sucks. I'm gonna rewatch some of next week's episode beforehand just for the fun of it, so yeah that's my review on stuff that happened this episode 💕

[atseptic]

GUESS WHO HAS SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT THE NEW EPISODEEEEEEEE

spoilers below! i'm not gonna say as much as i want to since im in the car right now so i want to focus on the road as much as possible ugh

1. WISE. PLEASE.

He has SOOOO MUCH POTENTIAL TO JOIN THE GOOD SIDE. He does not need to tell Simp what happened, he can side with X, he can do ANYTHING BUT TELL HER. It's all down to him at this point and i'm so scared 💔

I'm glad X stood up for himself and the other planets rather than giving up immediately. I love the guy to bits so seeing him be on the right side (and even kind of leading it) is really nice! It's also sweet to see him kind of become the other rocky planets' "Jupiter" and giving them advice on what to do 🥹

2. ASTRODUDE IS OKAY!!!

HELL YEAH! I really don't know who Earth and Luna recruited to help him out, but hey, that's pretty cool. Hope he wakes up soon.

3. Earth and Sun, it's about time 🥹

They're finally gonna have a conversation! A real one! I'M SO HAPPY

They both looked so happy about what's coming so i'm looking forward to seeing them talk next episode. I don't blame Earth for having his doubts about it, though - I would too. Sunny's face when he said he was sure about it was also so like. oddly heartwarming. He seems to have made up his mind about something so YAYYYYYYYYY

+ seeing Sol and Earth smile at each other (and in general) after so long was rather refreshing

4. Sedna is SO RIGHT

They will fall. They're guaranteed to.

What is it with this girlie and always saying everything right?? She's so full of good ideas and strategies it's so wonderful

gh sorry for the very small amount of comments lik i said i dont have a lot of time to say it

[atseptic]

Soooo, Solarballs episode dropped and I WAS there for the premiere.

Again, I sure do have some thoughts!

Spoilers below 🤫

1. Oh stars.

So... our planets are absolutely fried and cooked. At least they actually bothered to discuss things this time rather than just immediately saying yes or no. I can tell that they're definitely growing suspicious about the army, ESPECIALLY Neptune. He literally says himself: "Also, just my opinion... it's SUPER sketchy that she wants us gone." THIS. LITERALLY THIS. FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS IT. I knew he'd have the right idea about this since the moment I watched them join like HELL YES GO NEPTUNE THANK YOU MY KING

And Venus as well??? He's asking all the right questions and making all the right assumptions. Plus him being sad about missing Astrodude made me so happy 🥲 YOU WILL SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN I PROMISEEE

I honestly feel so bad for Jupiter. He's so blinded by everything that's happened recently and by his own guilt that he barely hesitated to say yes to the mission despite the fact they'd be gone for almost 3000 years without seeing each other at all. Like... are you kidding? 1 MILLION planets each? He must be thinking about a lot right now.

Huge W to Uranus here by the way for looking out for Neptune and expressing his concerns with him being alone for so long. It's rare now that anyone says outright how worried they are about his mental state, so it's refreshing to see it actually happen.

Mercury as well omg. Mercury knows Sol better than any of the planets, it's only natural he'd know how he felt at that moment. If there is to be a future rebellion against the rogue planets, he would be one of the first to team up with the Sun again. I'm glad he's thinking of him.

2. Speaking of Sol...

So he is indeed hallucinating again.

He misses his babies so much ohhhh no. He will literally do ANYTHING to get them back at this point, even if it's as simple as a sorry and a conversation.

"You want me to say sorry, huh?! Will that make you all happy...?! Will that make you all come back?!"

"...Talk to me. Come on, you wanted to talk, right? You wanted to... communicate, and all that!"

It broke me seeing him cry, no joke. His flashback sequence and him realising just how bad and unapproachable and overbearing he's been? Dude, he literally looked scared of himself. [p.t: himself]

"Why aren't you back...? Why did you choose the darkness of space...? Please, someone, just... say something!" With tears in his eyes. He full on YEARNS for things to be back to normal and I just know he's on the verge of a full mental breakdown... that is if he hasn't reached his limit already.

In all honesty here, I would not be surprised if this implies at some point in the future he, Luna, and Earth will leave the solar system to find the others. Unless another star (or other stars plural) will be there in Sol's place to maintain the stability of the remaining orbiting objects whilst he's gone, I am not entirely sure how well that would go. I look forward to seeing what he decides to do.

3. HELL YES GOOD THINKING DWARF PLANETS

This is 100% the right move to make. Even with everything Sol has done, going back to him is worth it because he WILL cooperate. I'm just curious, though, how ARE they going to relocate the solar system? It makes me wonder: would they encounter any different ones along the way, like the Centauri system? If you couldn't tell I really want to see the Centauri system again like oh my goodness they have so much potential to be useful in this arc I WANT THEM TO APPEAR SO BAD UHHWHAHHAHSM

Sedna is an absolute girlboss btw. Her being the leader of the little dwarf planet army was the right move and I love her so much.

Thanks, Wise. You just gave them the opportunity of the century by banishing them lmao.

4. X YOU WONDERFUL MASTERMIND I KNEW YOU WERE ONE OF THE GOOD ONES

Look, we still don't know what exactly the rogues are planning with Earth or anyone else, but X sure does and we can only guess how bad it is.

They were NOT kidding when they said that what X did was brave. Who knows what the larger consequences of going against the rogue planets are, and since Wise knows that X sent Ogle away to the solar system, I am rather concerned for what's going to happen to him. Maybe he'll be banished? Taken into the empty void of space? Imprisoned, or even crushed? No matter what happens, he has a plan. We know how smart he is, therefore, I have reason to believe it will be successful, no matter how dangerous.

Well, that's my comments done with! I'm going to go watch the 30 second preview of the next episode.
