sun and moon ahh siblings... doomed ahh siblings... haunted by the narrative and their own loneliness siblings....
does anybody else care about this duo. please wolf/godblings are everything to me... ask me about them...
more under the cut
when i say I am INsane about them i am Not Kidding
I have so many little details in their design im just so. i dont even really see them as sun and moon per say but they embody those very well. joel was initially supposed to be smirking/half smile, but the frown kept pulling at me. he is just so angry at the world. pearl is amused at his antics, as a sister would, she doesn't take his anger very seriously. the real emotion underneath is hurt
I really really like how i wrote them in SWU... Pearl leaving because she doesn't think Joel needs her and is fine on his own, while Joel was always the problem child and felt he needed Pearl and was no one without her. This building into resentment and hatred on his part, while Pearl became almost aloof and detached from their past, her own emotions and Boatwright. Lost in the clouds and lost in the dust.
they're twins but they couldn't be more different, yet they still retain aspects of each other... Joel's face is soft and feminine in an almost hidden way like he's trying to hide the part of him that resembles Pearl. Pearl's hair is straightened but still curls stubbornly like the past that keeps catching up to her. Joel's messy and uneven, vibrant brown hair and Pearl's long flowy and muted brown hair.
the background with the moon in front of the sun and Pearl in front of Joel in the same way, how she seems to be more adjusted than him but her shine is muted,..,.,
does anybody care about them. why am I 3 out of the 5 fics under the Joel and Pearl are Siblings Tag (WHICH IS NOW CANON HOLY SHIT IVE BEEN BEGGING FOR IT FOR 2 YEARS?!?!)
Particularly Pearl and Joel’s dynamic, like it’s one of my favourite duos and dynamics 😭😭
Like Joel is sunshine grump and then Pearl is just sunshine and then they just have the wildest interactions and stuff, it’s such an underrated duo that people are only realising now because HC10!!
But like, even in Empires S1, whenever they interact it was just the funniest thing, like their dynamic is that of XB and Keralis, I dunno why, it just gives those vibes in a completely different way and I love it!
