HAPPY ONE YEAR GLADIATOR AU ANNIVERSARY!!

Sappy speech under the cut QwQ

Wow. Wow. Just wow. One year. One year of this beautiful, incredible au. One year since the gladiator au was created.

I still remember it started because of a completely unrelated ask about Jack of all people. Lazy and I then came up with the idea, and Dei joined in soon after.

We’ve been planning, drawing, world building, and writing this au for one year. Three hundred and sixty five days. Time flies so fast, I genuinely can’t believe it. Remember when we still called this the tournament au?

Thank you, all of you, who have been here for the journey of this story. Thank you for your comments, your asks, your fanart, your edits, your fanfictions, we treasure and obsess over every single little one. You are all so incredibly talented and beautiful, and I cannot express in words how much we appreciate every single one of you.

To @deirunn and @alasylunatic, two of my best friends. You’ve made my day brighter and brighter every single time I talk to you guys. I don’t know what I would do without the two of you. You’re both so talented and amazing people. I love you guys, thank you for being here this entire year with me.

Thank you Lazy, for your ideas and your writing. I’ve watched you grow, from two paragraphs to nearly twenty pages in your writing. I have never seen a progression nearly that incredible. And your designs are fantastic. I cannot tell you how obsessed I am with your Cetus design, I could draw him all day. You’ve contributed so much to this story. I’m so grateful to be friends with such a talented person.

Thank you Dei, for your absolutely jaw dropping art, and your ideas. I cannot express to you in words how beautiful your art and designs are. They have so many details, and you can see the love put into every single line. Your ideas are awesome, and I love how much of yourself you put into characters like Rez. Once again, I’m so incredibly grateful to be friends with such a talented person.

Thank you both of you, for the laughs, love, and story we’ve created, and will continue to work on.

Anyways, I’m gonna go goon to Gemini/silly

Gladiator au by myself, @deirunn and @alasylunatic. I love you guys <3

"I miss Lumini/Lustor/Lullox(?)!!!" so I have this cursed swap au that came in my mind like a few days ago....

(**I MEANT "Pollux as SUN" BUT MY TIRED SELF TYPED HER NAME TWICE IM SO SORRY.)

Yk, technically Sun (and Eclipse and Solar) are bald here because its their brighter-than-the-sun-itself halo that acts as their rays, so when its gone its just—theyre just bald.

Oh OG,SAMSMoon would not stop teasing OG,SAMSSun about this if he ever finds this universe lol

(more swap characters under cut)

Lunar is still Lunar since well Lunar ╮(─▽─)╭

Im also deciding on who Nexus should be swapped with (now that Im already deep into this swap rabbit hole). Im thinking Cetus or one of the other Dark Star Entities (Rez or Kerian), but idk if any of them would work.

But like (some of) the Astrals are now technically animatronics while the Celestial family, except Lunar, is an astral or literal celestial bodies now.

Also: I am a multishipper as I enjoy both SolNebula and SolRuin! I think both ships are adorable :). Its completely alright and understandable if you dont like one or both, but please do respect my opinion just as much as I respect yours! Thank you :)!! –Yours truly, Nobody

Being the Judge is harder than Libra's easygoing attitude makes it seem.

rebellion probably doesn't help though...

[llamaisllama777]

Gemini was being so dramatic about Taurus he didn't do any of the things that they said he would do he was actually really chill like a tired dad

He does give off that vibe. I may dislike how Taurus conducts himself sometimes but he is just tired. This is a man who has lived for eons, lost friends, gained family, destroyed countless planets and lives sadly in order to stop the spread of negative star power and the reign of Cetus.

He sort of reminds me of a tired Optimus Prime or maybe Bay-verse Optimus (A tired soldier who just wants the war to end)

I kind of wish we got an Astral spin-off show after LAES ended where we see more of the Astrals, who they are, their morality, and their fight against Cetus and his army, plus I wanna see Cosmos interact with more Astrals than just Gemini, Libra, Taurus, and Nebula.

I wish we got that spin-off, but sadly according to the actors the Astrals were never the most popular part of TSBS which is sad cause I do think they are really cool.

Thanks for the ask @glitterweirdo

I do find the Astrals interesting. Feel free to keep asking questions if you want.

[hazard-c-horror]

looks at u with my big autistic eyes

hello horror man. you explained what hazard and modrolith feel towards the members of the celestial family, but what about some of the Other fellas (mostly the villains/antags jkhsds) like Dark Sun, the Bm twins, Nexus, any of the astrals, ect? :3?

Ye okay!

Part1

Hazard ————

Dark Sun - doesn’t really care about him. But he brings drama to the show and that’s always fun to watch

Bloodmoon - loves the two in one thing they have going on. Doesn’t really care much for the atrocities but understands their bad. And there wasn’t really any that can redeem them

Nexus - a bit conflicted. They like him. He’s fine. But they don’t fully know what to think of his actions

Eclipse - like a lot. A villain turning good, is always a nice thing to see. Like’s his sarcastic humor

Ruin - he’s fine, no really major opinions. He’s fun to listen and watch tho. British boy

Gemini - the little watcher and wind are interesting, once again likening the two in one dynamic. But other then that they don’t care

Taurus - no really particularly opinion on him. He’s fine.

Libra - she’s interesting. But her power slight confuses them. But other then that also no particular opinion

Modrolith ————

Dark Sun - doesn’t care too much about him. But is wary, and distrust him.

Bloodmoon - He dislikes them a lot. Family is important to them. He hates that they’ve destroyed so many. But is also slightly conflicted with knowing their past. Just slightly

Nexus - dislikes what he’s done. But unfortunately can’t judge him.

Eclipse - has respect for Eclipse redeeming himself and getting farther in life. He’s proud

Ruin - unsure what to entirely think about him. But he’s fine in Mo’s regard

All astrals - hate. Absolutely hate. They hurt Hazard. Practically attacked off of fear, when they could’ve just talked, unacceptable!

He tolerates a few just because he knows they can’t do much harm. But Taurus and Leo he hates with a burning passion (literally lol)

These toxic hets have reclaimed their territory in my brain

[notokbutthriving]

People when the astrals aren't perfect paragons of the earthly ideal of "good" and actually act like people with a disconnect to emotions after literally being born into a war that is nothing but a stall for time to make the universe last just a little longer so more people like yall can actually have a chance to live and literally work on a scale we can barely conceive of so obviously they'll not always act in ways we consider "fair" and that doesn't mean they're evil:
