future scene in space au,, Eclipse kills a man by hitting him with another man, bc his comfort tiny has been Hurt and this has triggered the Murder Instinct only well-designed murderbots can achieve <3
So I started hyperfixating on some of @bones-of-a-rabbit's au's again, but most specifically their space ai one-
Anddd I knew I had to draw at least one of them- so here be my favorite design of the au
It be Eclipse!! Omg I love how simple yet magical he looks (the lines kind of remind me of AL_AN from Subnautica BZ- who is another favorite of mine). It's simple and may not be completely accurate- but I love him.
Also I used this pic of their's as a ref
This one's so pretty-
I also really wanted to draw Sun and Moon but I couldn't find one showing their body colors- maybe I just missed it.
Also am currently thinking of a small oneshot for this au- have too many ideas.
pls go check out @bones-of-a-rabbit art and books, even as someone who is both not attracted to the daycare attendents and is usually not a big fan of xreaders, I absoulutely love all the stuff they make.
in case anyone was wondering, yes, Eclipse does make an appearance in the space au. And yes, he IS incredibly lonely and in need of a hug (good news pilot reader is dumb enough that they’d hug a giant menacing four armed robot with like -2 seconds of thought)
(Info abt when in the story they find Eclipse below):
(pls forgive how cronched this is) a lil doodle of the Space AI Trio i did in a recent magma! where i played a lil bit w one of the themes of the Space AI Trio's dynamics/motifs (abandonment/being replaced)
(what i mean by that under the cut:)
Eclipse was the rough, morally sketchier prototype of what Sun and Moon came to be a few generations later. When Eclipse's project went awry, his ship (Starcluster Seeking Discovery Cruiser, often shortened to SSDC, iteration 404) was evacuated and all evidence of it purged, leaving it to be lost to drift through the vast nothingness of the unfound spaces, waiting for a relief crew that was never coming and no one to remember it even existed to begin with. Sun and Moon's ship started development years later, Eclipse's existence far from anyone's minds: easily replaced when no one recalls that you once filled that void.
When Sun and Moon have their Big Drama Moment with Pilot-Reader, Reader is quick to bond with Eclipse and goof off , joke around, and simply spend time with said android, instead of spending as much time with Sun and Moon as they had BEFORE the Big Drama happened. Sun and Moon are, of course, quite upset that Reader was using this older-brother-they-never-knew-they-had as a rebound someone to confide in, almost as though they've been,, replaced. (Play stupid games win stupid prizes, boys, ya played urselves)
(basically Sun and Moon replaced Eclipse's ship/purpose, and later Eclipse 'replaces' Sun and Moon in their relationship with Reader lol)
Reader and Eclipse: bonding, figuring out how to communicate, dancing, perhaps kissing on one or two occasions, just bestie things
Sun and Moon:
