Fun lil art piece with all my current Lunar designs for my AUs. Abyss stands out a lil as he's only part Lunar,,, but it still deserves a spot! Funky little thing!
Alos technically my first time sharing Wonderland Lunar!
leans politely into ur inbox. yap about ur aus and lunars? 👀
Xero,,, Xero my savior /silly
OK! Heads up guys!! gonna be a big ol yap sesh! I kinda just wanna cover my aus, its sums and neat things that went into them! I should also state that most, if not all my AUs have been made in collaboration with @radio-atlas !! And most these AUs have been fleshed out alongside aem through hours of VC yapping and RPs!! So if you'd like to know more indepth stuff about these AUs Eclipse's! I'd say you ask aem! (I'm the Lunar expert/writer!)
And obvi if anyone has any specific questions on any specific AU feel free to ask
On that note! Let's begin!
= "Wonderland" AU =
aka, My evil Lunar AU! Despite it's title, it has nothing to do with the story of Alice in Wonderland! Rather i've just drawn a lot of inspiration from the animated movie for Designs and Setting! It also is more inspired by canon evil lunar/lunara! Granted it has since spiralled off from it! Here are some important things to note!
Eclipse, instead of leaving the room in "Eclipse and Lunar MANHUNT for Monty Gator in VRCHAT" to grab a weapon, attacks Lunar. This obviously plants a large seed of doubt for xem,, aswell as a small resentment for Monty
Lunar teams up alongside Monty and Moon to get rid of Eclipse, while also using Monty to get Bloodmoon a body!
Bloodmoon and Lunar dynamic! They're brothers and they have eachothers back! They also probably encourage the worst parts of one another!
Lunar plays the long game when it comes to the star! Taking the time to bond with the celestial family and wiggle his way into it! It's not hard as there is that shared ground of hating Eclipse, and overall Eclipse's treatment of Lunar! Though in the end, Lunar has some pretty severe trust and attachment issues, leaving Bloodmoon as the only people Lunar truly cares about
Post obtaining the star, Lunar and Bloodmoon sort of warp the world to their our destructive and whimsical image! Constant Blood, gore and fun! It doesn't last very long though. Especially when the ones running it are three unstable and bloodthirsty animatronics
Post star is where most the theming draws from Alice in Wonderland! The world around them shaping into that of a wonderland!
Overall, Lunar ends up the last remaining being of his world/dimension, eventually ending up hopping into another dimension, which ties to another Au (That i'm not sure i'll mention)
Wonderland Lunar so far is the only one to have a design at this given moment!:
(Granted the art is kind of old!)
and even though i'm not covering the AU for post-dimension hop here, I slide over the concept of him after "domestication", as Atlas and I have been referring to his redemption
I'mma be honest, Wonderland Lunar is probably one of my favorites of my little collection! Stinky little bastard that became the person he hated most.
= Wolf in Sheep's Clothing AU =
Biiig TW for abuse, torture and unhealthy dynamics! Definitely one of Atlas and I's darker AUs!
In sum, the cast take on much more animalistic traits and behaviourisms! I've covered the exacts in This post from a bit ago!
Most stays pretty similar to canon up until "Eclipse and Lunar REUNITE in VRCHAT", to which, Lunar is tortured to death opposed to being blown up.
Unfortunately the worst part about this AU is that Eclipse does care about Lunar, and deals out this cruelty as a form of "leveling the playing field", almost like a sick lesson on Lunar's betrayal.
After this Lunar is brought to the space station to be rebuilt/brought back after extensive damage done, to where Lunar still obtains this star power.
Admittedly this AU has no happier endings. For awhile Lunar gets some peace after his return but it doesn't last long and overall ends with Eclipse taking Lunar and manipulating him to be his personal weapon. But moving along!
It's also interesting to note that Eclipse wears Lunar's horns, from his death, in his collar!
And as the design notes state on Lamb Lunar's ref, Earth sews the ears into his hood! It's originally to match spigot! (ending on a less aawful note!)
As for designs! My lamb Lunar might be one of my more known, outside my moth Lunar!,,
Eclipse also has a design which can be found here! The rest are in conceptual phases!
= Team Dark AU =
The brothers trauma bond!! This is the best sum of this AU! The main concept is Lunar, Eclipse and Bloodmoon are all forced to play KC's idea of house in the bunker. And while I love dadcode! I also love when KC is evil and a not so great father! So the Eclipse brothers all have the lovely opportunity to set aside differences and previous greviances to work together and escape!
Bloodmoon, Lunar and Eclipse are all quite protective of eachother in this AU. The brothers initially having a distrust towards everyone around them after their escape!
With Eclipse stuck within the lab, and being watched more thoroughly on what he did and created, he taught Lunar mechanics and technology to assist! So Lunar gets a few nifty skills to which leads to an interest in creating weaponry for himself and his brothers.
We have a "Bad end" to this AU in which Lunar dies. In this "Bad end" is where Wonderland!Lunar dimension hops to.
Post-escape, the four reside under the theatre within the daycare and basically travel as a pack of sorts. As time carries on the brothers become less codependent,,, but they still don't enjoy being apart extended periods of time.
Shifting back to weaponry! Lunar crafts himself a bazooka! Putting himself in a much longer range, and something to hit heavy. Lunar however cannot take a hit! Making him somewhat of a glass canon!
Bloodmoon gets a scythe, I know, very original. Though I find it makes their kills more personal and up close! The weapon really only working as an extension of themselves!
Eclipse gets a revolver! I haven't pried too much on why with Atlas, and if i have, I admit i've just got shitty memory but it feels very distant and less personal. Also cowboy vibes!
I'll admit that a majority of the AU is brotherly shenanigans with angst! And that I do not have any designs or art to share of the AU! Although the concepts are sat neatly in my medibang waiting for a chance of life!
= "Back-up Lunar" AU =
Last one!!! Eclipse and Lunar end up in the awful situation of sharing a body after their respective deaths! Which, starts off as well as one would think with Lunar and Eclipse inhabiting a body. Though after an incident with the two fighting to front t onec, their AI temporarily merges to create an awful amalgam of the two. After this, the two seem to come to an accepting tolerance to further explore the incident, also leaving room for the two to work through some shit together!
Abyss initially is more akin to a feral and hurt beast, A mass of hatred between the brothers that is unstable. As Lunar and Eclipse form Abyss more it stablizes itself
Because Lunar still blows up in this, he has star power! Which naturally carries to Eclipse and Abyss! I'm also keeping his nanites cause I love shapeshifting and it makes giving Eclipse a design easier!
Main plot follows a failed separation from Moon that does more harm to Lunar than good, causing a strain on the two
Moon gets more desparate to get rid of Eclipse that it becomes almost obsessive. This spirals to Lunar leaving and betrayal
It's also important to note that through most this AU, Abyss is formed and acts almost as a protector of the two. Abyss also develops more to be it's own person, similar to, in lack of a better comparison, fusion from steven universe
Eclipse and Lunar can't 100% remember everything that happens when they're Abyss, it's fuzzier and almost detached from them individually. Which is where the joke comes in that Abyss enjoys theatre and sewing, While Eclipse and Lunar do not
Momentarily! Abyss teams with Ruin and Bloodmoon! Who also gets a redemption alongside the amalgam!
Another AU that has more Sillies with angst!
And I'm sure most have seen me post my baby a couple of times! But Atlas and I's precious Abyss!! :
As for Lunar and Eclipse? Lunar just has my default Lunar design which you can see here and I'm not 100% on Eclipse's just yet!
-----------------------------
Now obviously! These aren't all the Aus i've created or the whole stories but the main building blocks! Alot of these get worked on, added onto and played out overtime with Atlas! Though i'd honestly love more questions about any of em! and even the other characters of the AU if anyone is interested! It can be a bit hard to yap without a direction but!! AU DUMP!!!
Some of this is also written at like 2am and the rest after work and a nap, so i'm apologizing if this makes no sense or isn't as organized as I thought! ^^
I am here to sit and encourage you to info dump about lamb Lunar and your aus
I will eat up any info you wanna share >:)
OH SO GLAD YOU ASKED ABOUT MY FUCKED UP GUY.
Info dump time babyyy!
• Lunar still dies and comes back with star power! He's also a lot more skittish and flighty!
• Lunar's horns can grow bigger if he is feeling threatened or scared! He's also generally got a bigger form I've dubbed "Ram Lunar" that is still in some early concepting aswell as more connected to his star power!
• Earth and Lunar so far are really the only characters we've based on prey animals. Cause this they've got a stronger bond! They'll bonk their horns together as a sign of affection.
• Lunar's lamb like behaviors and traits are purposeful on Eclipse's behalf as he'd hoped Lunar to be more obedient and willing to follow.
• Overall Lunar's design for this AU wasn't fully planned at first! Nor were the lamb features and behaviors. It was sparked after I think some conversations with atlas and terms like "Sacrificial lamb" when referring to Lunar's death and the house scene.
Wish I had sketches and art to accompany my rambles! Unfortunately I'm out running errands atm, but I'll probs post some Lamb Lunar sketches later.
Also,, All of Eclipse's writing is done by @radio-atlas and this entire AU has been a collaborative!!
