Hello!

I made a playlist for The Sun Riders.

Are there any songs you associate with them?

Please, let me know! I'd love to update it, because they were an actual real show, I'd watch them! :>

I'll also probably make an original art for the cover later.

You can also like the playlist or follow my account “paX”. I made more SRMTHFG playlists (still updating and editing tho). ^^

Hmmm do you have any Sun Riders headcanons? Out of curiosity O3O

!! tbh i really love the Sun Riders, so! i do have a few, though some may be contradictory---i’ve never been able to commit to just one lmao :)

thank you for asking!

okay so, this is less a headcanon and more an OC plug. but, @youareshauni and i came up with an OC named Asteria Ashton. like Clayton, Asteria came from a wealthy family. also like Clayton, Asteria moonlighted as a super hero: the Sunrider. she came from a family of heroes with solar powers. hers were flame-related, I believe?, and she also had a really cool bike.

Aurora Six is her granddaughter/great granddaughter, but... the powers skipped her. & she’s a little bitter about it? but she really admires heroes in general! but that’s part of why she took Skeleton King up on his offer. she started working on the show because it was made in homage to her grandmother; the three of them meant to be the next generation of heroes!

okay! now for headcanons :D let’s start with some broad ones—

i think they met on the Sun Rider’s set / rehearsal. i don’t think they quite hit it off at first but i also don’t think there was any deep animosity? but by the end of the first season or so, they were really close!

all of them got their big break with the Sun Riders show! prior to that most of them had been no-name actors!

all of them felt some kind of connection with the show. they really vibed with parts of it—maybe the message or the homage to superheroes. they put a lot of heart into it.

the Sun Rider’s show dominated their lives. definitely a case of actors being overworked. none of them minded / tried to strike that work-life balance because they loved their job/the show so much.

the show was cancelled suddenly (because i’m unable to resist real life parallels) & though they campaigned to finish it… they couldn’t. it was devastating.

they tried to move on to other things but couldn’t let go of the bitterness of having their show cancelled. they also didn’t feel like anything felt as “important” or “fulfilling” as the SR. which of course made them susceptible to SK’s machinations.

after the Sun riders were evicted from Shuggazoom (to put it mildly) they kind of... drifted for a bit before crashlanding on the colony.

the people there were kind to them despite their own hardships, and when the Formless began attacking, the Sun Riders saw their chance to be heroes---for real this time. they worked with the colonists to protect the town & learned lots of important life lessons about what it means to be heroes.

i think they do still visit that colony often, but i think once it was safe, they continued being heroes on other colonies/planets, aiding the team in stopping Skeleton King’s / the Dark One’s forces.

& then for some character specific ones—

Johnny Sunspot was a child star, but he never really played in anything well known. he wasn’t in the spotlight from around 11 to 17, until he decided to try out for the Sun Riders. when he meets the team he’s in his mid-to-early twenties.

JS was rather spoiled, and grew up in relative comfort. he was pretty used to getting his way which occasionally caused friction with his teammates / co-stars.

despite his character being a genius, JS is. not quite as smart. however, he’s still very intelligent!

Aurora Six had been auditioning for a lot of things, but mostly got background roles. she did do some modeling on the side, but it wasn’t really her ‘thing.’

she learned from an early age that she could use her looks to get what she wanted, and she did. however, she does harbor some bitterness over that because she does have other talents.

i like to think she’s a very creative sort, and a decent writer herself! perhaps also an artist? idk, i just had the random thought of her being really into comics / making comics and i love that now.

Super Quasar used to be like... a bodybuilder. he was really into the fitness scene. i also think he did a lot of like... plays? and one day decided to go for acting jobs.

SQ, i headcanon, is a really good cook! however, he likes to make sure his meals are always balanced to give the best nutrition!

he’s also very much an early riser, i think. & maybe a stress cleaner??

[ let’s talk headcanons! send me yours, or ask me for mine! ]
