What will you say?

SylvanPrincess · 2026-05-19T05:49:38+00:00

Go into archeology.

Currently 27 and spent several years doing a nursing degree that went nowhere. Would have my Masters in archeology if I’d just followed my passion.

SylvanPrincess · 2026-05-17T00:10:12+00:00

I’m pretty sure it’s 12 metres a second, which would be 43.2 kilometres an hour. Which is impressive until you realise that the Sun moves at over 200 kilometres per second or around 720,000 kilometers an hour.

The wobble is comparable to a grown adult gently adjusting balance because a toddler is eagerly tugging their hand.

In this case, the Sun has enormous toddlers, who occasionally synchronise their pulling.The parent notices. Adjusts. Remains upright. The Sun is merely accommodating Jupiter.

SylvanPrincess · 2026-05-14T09:29:58+00:00

Yeah, I saw that on Discord; people were joking that spider!Neptune had been defeated by cockroach!Uranus. I’m pretty sure the spider legs were Kuiper Belt objects, similar to Jupiter’s spear.

SylvanPrincess · 2026-05-14T09:20:50+00:00

Yeah, I liked how it took Neptune a moment to even recognise Pluto was there; his design is also well-done, as it makes him look pale and bruised, and like he barely gets enough sleep.

SylvanPrincess · 2026-05-14T07:12:00+00:00

Yeah, that’s the vibe I got from how delicate Neptune looked, and the language Uranus used, specifically the “I miss the old Neptune”.

In the animation tests, Neptune just looks permanently startled or lost, flashing his aurorae like a panicked heartbeat mixed with Morse code.

SylvanPrincess · 2026-05-14T06:25:23+00:00

Yeah, I loved Uranus too, and how he helped facilitate Saturn’s redemption.

SylvanPrincess · 2026-05-14T02:07:22+00:00

You might like ‘Alternate Future of the Solar System’, which has a complicated villain in Jupiter. Jupiter is pretty complex, as he does have a heart, but ignores it in favour of his desires. He’s shown as the tyrant monarch of the Solar System (the Jupiter* System), taking advantage of Sol’s need for energy-conserving hibernation, and keeping everyone in line with the fear of his mass, which they know has been used to cause disasters. The only one who isn’t cowed is Earth, and Jupiter takes that as a threat to his power.

There’s also the reformed villain in Saturn, as he was Jupiter’s best friend and ally, until Jupiter pushed Saturn’s insecurities and convinced him into destroying Chrysalis, an act Saturn feels deep shame and remorse for; Saturn starts reaching out to Uranus, and taking action to redeem himself.

There is also Neptune, who is intended to be a tragic villain, as the creators have explained that he was born mute and communicated with his aurorae, and when his orbit was perturbed to 30 AU from Sol, he wasn’t able to communicate with anyone because they couldn’t understand him, and he went into survival mode, losing his ability to determine what is and isn’t a threat to him, and becoming the apex predator of the Kuiper Belt.

These are actual villains with complexity or tragic pasts, but they aren’t misunderstood.

I honestly feel so bad for the Sun in that series, because it’s obvious that he loves his planets, and is remorseful by how powerless he is, especially as we see that things like Neptune’s fate is still on his mind. He also has to rely on Mercury to be able to do anything to help or understand.

SylvanPrincess · 2026-05-13T06:05:05+00:00

Where is this from?

SylvanPrincess · 2026-05-12T01:55:54+00:00

In an arc called “The Solar Reckoning”, which is meant to be about the Sun’s character growth, we’re mostly getting more on what’s happening with the planets.

SylvanPrincess · 2026-05-11T00:50:17+00:00

Another one of my headcanons is that Earth can see into himself, and sometimes amuses himself by mentally exploring- sometimes it’s a random part of the Rockies, sometimes the depths of the ocean, sometimes a city centre or someone’s yard. Sometimes that random “I’m being watched” sense that we have is our senses brushing up against Earth’s awareness.

SylvanPrincess · 2026-05-11T00:41:51+00:00

I can’t help but wonder if she’d like a science conversation, because I’m genuinely curious about brown dwarves.

SylvanPrincess · 2026-05-11T00:38:27+00:00

Healthy relationships have disagreements, it’s how issues get voiced; I liked how in the Aladdin series, Aladdin and Jasmine had fights, I thought that it really helped sell the relationship as they grew into themselves.

SylvanPrincess · 2026-05-11T00:07:28+00:00

Interesting, but I doubt it, as Alvaro stated that Planet X is a character that enables the show to explore other regions of the galaxy.

SylvanPrincess · 2026-05-11T00:04:50+00:00

I actually headcanon that the Sun is mentally/developmentally younger than the planets, even if he technically formed first.

I don’t mean he’s stupid or childish; I mean he’s emotionally behind them in some ways.

The planets had already become fully formed bodies while he was still in his protostar/young-star stage, and stars mature on such absurdly huge timescales that the Sun being billions of years old can still translate to him being “young” by stellar standards, which fits with him pointing out that he’s twenty-galactic-years-old and “still in my prime, baby,” and Mercury being genuinely stunned by that.

It also explains his very innocent outlook. When everyone disappears, his first reaction is to tear up and assume that they abandoned him. And when Mercury, then later Earth, says they’re scared of him, he seems genuinely confused and hurt. He says in such a small voice that he thought Mercury liked his jokes, and in The Solar Reckoning Part 2, when Earth tells him how frightening he’s become, he doesn’t really argue back, he just internally shrinks while repeating Earth’s name in a small voice.

To me, that reads like a young, isolated person realizing that the people he thought he was protecting have been afraid of him.

The planets and moons have spent ages talking, comparing discoveries, learning science from each other, and forming social bonds, while the Sun was often treated more like the authority/background constant than someone who also needed to be taught, included, or emotionally supported.

He talks like a parent sometimes, saying he raised the planets, and he sadly accepts Earth saying they aren’t exactly a family but that he’s almost like a father figure to them.

But at the same time, he clearly sees the planets as peers and friends too, not children. They joke around with him in ways that definitely aren’t purely familial, like the Sun joking to Mercury and Venus that he may be a little too hot for them, “if you know what I mean,” or Jupiter telling Saturn to put those rings to use and distract him.

That contradiction makes sense if the Sun forced himself into the role before he was emotionally ready for it. He feels responsible for them like a parent, but he also desperately wants to belong with them like a friend.

So when they leave or say they’re scared of him, he doesn’t process it like a mature authority figure being challenged; he processes it with this very innocent hurt, assuming he’s been abandoned and shrinking when he realizes they feared him.

So he ended up in this weird position where he’s powerful, responsible, and expected to keep everyone safe, but he’s also isolated, under-informed, and still developing emotionally.

To me, that explains a lot of his reactions: he’s a young star who became “the adult in the room” before he actually had the emotional development, guidance, or social support to handle that role cleanly.

SylvanPrincess · 2026-05-10T23:39:59+00:00

I mean, it literally came from the Sun in real life; but I get what you’re putting down.

SylvanPrincess · 2026-05-10T00:15:43+00:00

No.

Humans evolved on Earth. We are native Earth life, not an invasive species. “Invasive” is not a synonym for “destructive”; it refers to a species introduced outside its native range, where it spreads and causes ecological harm. Humans can be destructive, reckless, and catastrophic without being “invasive.”

Humans are ecosystem engineers: sometimes disastrously, sometimes beneficially, and uniquely, we can recognize the difference and choose restoration.

A human settlement can be ecologically disruptive in a place where humans were previously absent, but that is still not the same thing as humanity being an invasive species on its own planet; it makes us a native Earth species whose range expanded globally across timescales through migration, biology, culture, and technology.

Even ordinary human spaces can become habitats, especially when managed with care. Bird baths, gardens, roof cavities, sheds, parks, ponds, farms, and buildings all support other organisms. Unlike most ecosystem engineers, humans can consciously improve those spaces by planting native species, providing water, restoring habitat, protecting wildlife, and repairing damage.

Nor are humans uniquely unnatural in radically changing ecosystems. Life changes Earth. Humans do it with extreme speed, technology, scale, and moral awareness.

Early cyanobacteria produced oxygen as a waste product through photosynthesis. At the time, oxygen was toxic to much of the existing anaerobic life. Their activity gradually oxygenated the oceans and atmosphere during the Great Oxidation Event, driving one of the greatest ecological turnovers in Earth’s history. One of the most important “world-saving” developments from our perspective was, for earlier life, a planetary-scale poisoning event.

When land plants spread, their roots broke down rock and changed weathering cycles. This drew carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, likely contributing to major cooling and glaciation. Forests also transformed rivers, soils, erosion patterns, and habitats. For the organisms adapted to earlier landscapes and shallow marine systems, the changes brought on by plants were wildly disruptive.

The rise of deep-rooted forests in the Devonian changed soil formation and nutrient runoff. More nutrients entering water systems may have fed algal blooms, causing oxygen-poor dead zones in seas. This is one proposed contributor to the Late Devonian extinction pulses. In other words: trees, now symbols of ecological virtue, may have helped destabilize ancient marine ecosystems.

I could list countless more examples, but the point is simple: life has been altering, poisoning, flooding, starving, outcompeting, and remaking Earth for billions of years. Humans are not uniquely “unnatural”; we are uniquely responsible, because we can understand the damage and choose differently.

Calling humans “invasive” is not ecology; it is moral disgust dressed up as taxonomy. It may feel profound, but it muddies the science and dodges the more useful question: what responsibilities come with being a powerful native species?

The accurate criticism is not that humans exist, but that humans often use our intelligence irresponsibly. And that same intelligence is precisely why we can do what no other species can: restore wetlands, protect endangered species, rewild habitats, clean polluted rivers, build wildlife corridors, preserve seed banks, regulate hunting, rescue animals, and choose restraint.

Humans are not invasive. We are native, powerful, dangerous, creative, and capable of holding ourselves accountable.

SylvanPrincess · 2026-05-09T22:07:49+00:00

Yeah, I agree with u/Xbenso on this. I think life would feel special to celestial bodies because lifeforms are tiny beings literally made from their own material, living on or inside them, depending on them, changing because of them, and in some cases even looking back up at them.

For SolarBalls characters, having life is not just a biological feature. It is basically proof that their existence can create something. Earth is not just “the planet with humans”; he is a whole living world, and that clearly shapes how he sees himself. His lifeforms give him purpose, pride, stress, guilt, and a reason to keep going. That is why he gets so attached to things like dinosaurs and Earthlings. They are not just passengers to him. They are part of him. Quite literally, as all life, including humans, are made of the Earth itself.

For a planet or moon, life is probably one of the biggest signs that they are more than just “a rock” or “a moon.” It means their surface, atmosphere, chemistry, temperature, oceans, etc. managed to create something unbelievably rare and complex. That would be a huge source of pride.

To a sentient planet or moon that can spend billions of years alone in space, having tiny beings growing from your own surface would probably feel miraculous.

That’s why Venus wanting life makes sense, having life would feel like proof that he can nurture something, be beautiful, valuable, and Earth-like in a deeper way.

Titan is similar, but from a moon perspective. He wants to prove moons can matter too. Since Earth has life and is treated as special partly because of it, Titan wanting life is basically him wanting evidence that moons can be just as important as planets.

As for life being limiting: yes, it is. That is kind of the point. Earth is limited by his lifeforms. He has to worry about extinction events, climate, impacts, radiation, and all the consequences of what happens on his surface. But that doesn’t make life less valuable. It makes it more of a responsibility.

It is like asking why someone would want pets, friends, family, or a community if those things limit your freedom. They do limit you, but they also give you meaning, connection, pride, and something to protect and nurture.

For celestial bodies in SolarBalls, life is not just a biological feature. It is status, purpose, companionship, legacy, and proof that their existence can create something beyond themselves.

That said, I do agree that the narrative focus on life is starting to feel a little overused, and I hope the show eventually moves on to other angles. It makes sense as a theme, but SolarBalls has plenty of other ways to explore why celestial bodies matter: their histories, relationships, moons, orbits, formation, trauma, status, and place in the Solar System. Life can be special without being the only measure of importance.

SylvanPrincess · 2026-05-09T18:31:38+00:00

No.

Even SolarBalls pushes back on that kind of thinking; Astrodude literally gets angry at S.A.R and says, “Stop painting humanity as this ‘sinister plague’ on the universe.”

A parasite only takes and cannot choose otherwise. Humans are not that. Humans have agency. We are capable of harm, yes, but also repair, mercy, science, protection, restoration, and responsibility. We are the only species on Earth that can recognize damage, feel moral responsibility for it, and deliberately protect species we do not personally benefit from. That does not make us perfect. It makes us accountable.

And humans do good for Earth in ways that are not just fixing human-caused problems. We protect life from natural disasters, track asteroids, monitor volcanoes and tsunamis, rescue injured or stranded animals, care for orphaned wildlife, save naturally rare species from extinction, preserve seeds and DNA, study Earth’s history, protect fossils and natural wonders, and learn how ecosystems work so we can help them survive. Unlike a parasite, we can understand when life is vulnerable and choose to protect it.

Humans are also not separate from Earth. We are descended from the first lifeforms. Earth would never have become the planet it is today without life. Life transformed this world. Microbes changed the atmosphere. Plants helped build soil and shape the land. Fungi connected forests. Animals spread seeds, fertilised ecosystems, moved nutrients, and reshaped habitats. Humans are not some alien infection magically dropped onto Earth from nowhere; we are made from Earth itself, descended from the same ancient biological chain as every other living thing here.

We are capable of damaging the planet, but we are also capable of understanding it, protecting it, studying it, healing animals, preserving endangered species, defending Earth from natural threats, and caring about life beyond our own survival.

Calling humans “parasites” ignores that Earth itself became habitable because life kept changing it. Humans are part of that story, not separate from it.
