Okay, but what about the others

Alright so everyone is like "I hate the 80th element now" And fair point, very clever but I'm surprised no one is talking about the 92nd element. Also I need more 93 and 94 element content. >;D (Sorry I had to lol :p)

Uranus, what are you thinking? (JIB2) | Analysis pt2

TW: Manipulation Hello! I'm (surprisingly) back with a part two. In the first part I tried to cover the drama around Jupiter returning. Now, I'd like to talk about Uranus trying to change his name to Caelus. I for one can 100% see why he would want to change his name. However, I really don't agree with how he has gone about it or how he has been characterized in general. A good majority of people now despise Uranus with a burning passion, and as a long time Uranus fan I can't say I agree, but even I am starting to dislike him. And the Solarballs team is trying to villainize him, so in that sense they've done a great job. Okay, so one of the big reasons that Uranus has gotten to have a terrible reputation is the way he is going about changing his name. He is being really aggressive with anyone who isn't calling him Caelus. (I'm not calling him Caelus because uhmm... Habit? Gosh my reasons sound like something that Rotsar guy would say ;;) If he wanted to have a respectable name change then, he could CALMLY tell people his preferred name as well as his reasons. Another reason people aren't a fan of Uranus is because he has become hostile to his moons and Neptune in particular as well as, basically, anyone that isn't X. Neptune, having done NOTHING wrong, is being forced into constant arguments about, really, nothing. As a good friend of mine pointed out to me recently, his personality, which used to be very loyal, has done a complete 180. Okay but that's enough for the things that he did wrong. Now, I'd like to try and explain why he might have done these things.

Uranus has obviously never liked his name since literally his creation - Keep in mind in BB2, when he first introduces himself to Neptune we can see he is visibly uncomfortable. Not to mention, in (Uhmm I forgot which episode it was in ;;) Uranus tells Neptune that he wishes he was included in events, even if he didn't partake in them, just the chance to. So, when X comes to Uranus, who has felt uncomfortable with his name, orbit as well as his atmosphere for billions of years, of course he would listen to him. This made it easy for X to manipulate Uranus. X offered to change Uranus's name and orbit which, Uranus believed, would fix all of the problems he had. When Neptune and Uranus fight (T-T), Uranus loses his major support in the Solar System and when X left, he understandably, went a bit mad. So, given all that I can't say I'm overly surprised that Uranus decided to leave the Solar System. He felt that no one cared for him, other then X and that everyone was just making fun of him. He's become very suspicious and unwilling to trust anyone, which is very different from his normal loyal self. I mean, he spent how long looking for Neptune with Saturn? But it seems that X had manipulated Uranus even more then what was shown on screen, in order for him to convince Uranus that everyone was turned against him. So, from this perspective, yes, I can see why his personality has done a complete 180 - he believed that Planet X was the only one who ever cared about him and, because he was desperate for that stability, he left. Okay, well that's enough of my incoherent ramblings about Uranus / Caelus for now. I'd like to get one more part out of this episode, regarding the rocky planets and maybe touching on the Theia subject as well. Anywho, thanks for reading all this random stuff and I hope you have a great rest of your night! (Or day, depending on your time zone lol)

Can show me how u draw a cat in front and back?

Sure! I use Microsoft Paint for all my art, which should come preinstalled on any Windows computer. Also, I'll be using my Earth design here just because I feel that one is most established. First I add in a 'frame' (I don't think that's what it's called but oh well, that what I call it :p ) which really just shows me where to draw the linework. For cats I'll use circles for the head, muzzle, the front part of the body and the back half of the body. For legs I just have an ellipse with a line to show the direction the leg is facing. Then I'll just sketch out a rough shape for the tail and ears.

Next, I do the linework, which is probably the longest part of the process. Very important that I do it on a different layer.

With and without the frame.

Last I add color and that's about it. Sometimes I'll do shading, though I'm normally too lazy to. :p

The new episode is crazy (JIB2) | Analysis

Guys, we need to talk about the new Solarballs episode. I don't even mean any theories I'm just flabbergasted. Okay, so lets just start with the Jupiter drama. (Also this is going to be multiple parts lol) I think that the other planets have been way too harsh with him. What happened was obviously a mistake on Jupiter and Saturn's part - If Astrodude's story is correct, which, in and of itself is a whole different topic. Not to mention, it happened billions of years ago. However, I am a longtime Jupiter fan, so I'll try to see it from the other perspective. Rocky Planets From any of the inner planets' perspectives, they've always looked up to Jupiter, so obviously hearing the he killed object just like them would break that trust. Especially Mars, and I think that Solarballs actually did a rather good job of showing this. Mars wanted to trust that Jupiter wouldn't 'betray' them like that, but after Jupiter returns, and he has confirmed Mars's fears, Mars refuses to talk with him. Mars himself has stated that he, being closest to Jupiter's orbit, has always felt the strongest connection with him out of all the Rockies' so of course he would be in a state of shock and denial. Okey I'ma move on to the Ice Giants before I ramble any more. Ice Giants:

Neptune really doesn't have much of a stake in it. I do like to think that he likes having Jupiter around but the only times (off the top of my head) I can think of the two interacting directly is in that episode with the hypothetical black hole question and the SSOBS arc. So really not all that much to say. Uranus/Caelus, on the other hand well... I don't think he likes anyone right now other then X... But, I'ma just say that's a topic for another day :p Saturn: They defiantly got this one right I'd say. Saturn was Jupiter's accomplice in all this and not to mention his best friend for billions of years. The Moons: For Jupiter's moons I honestly think that they're just grateful to have their planet back. While we only heard from the Galilean moons, I think that they speak for all of them, especially given that Europa has close connections with the little ones. We really didn't hear any other moons' opinions as far as the Jupiter matter goes. Sun: MAD >:0 Okey, well that's all for now. I do apologize for my bad spelling / grammar. (Can I blame it on the fact its midnight? Oh wait nope, I just always have bad grammar ;;) I'll make other parts regarding this topic, but until then, I hope you have a great rest of your day!

What’s your opinion on JIB arc so far personally I don’t mind it :3

I really like the plot, but some of the characters are making me go crazzzzzzzy ;; I'm doing a farther analysis of the JIBs arc soon, but in a nutshell: Ura/Cae is going crazy and honestly I think it was a bit of a 180 on his personality, but I do see why they did it. Jup should be let in but I defiantly see why Sun won't want him back, (Even though I do believe he'll be back - same for Ura/Cae) Earth - I think everyone is exited for Theia, but I mean can we give the poor guy a break. Like I said I'll be going into far more detail soon and I apologize for my poor grammar and spelling here.

Abbreviations (So far)

So, I'm going to put a lil' analysis here of the latest Solarballs episode, and I tend to use a ton of abbreviations so here is the list as of 8/2/25 (Sourced from the official Solarballs Discord server) TTA - The Titan Arc SV - Surviving Venus TM - Terraforming Mars EA - Earth Alone BOTP - Battle of the Planets MR - Moon Revolution SSOBS - Solar System Ordered By Size TMAPTISS - The Most Alien Place in the Solar System (Are Aliens Among Us?) DITKB - Disturbance in the Kuiper Belt MC - Moon Club MIHTTE - Moon is Heading Towards the Earth (What if the Moon Approached the Earth) TSST / SST - The Solar System Trials SFPX - Search for Planet X TBB / BB - The Big Bang PXR - Planet X Returns SSWJ and/or WIWRJ - Solar System without Jupiter / What if we Replace Jupiter? BOPX - Battle of Planet X SDSM / STDSOTM - Surviving the Dark Side of the Moon JIB - Jupiter is Back Also when referring to the dark side of the moon I'll use the abbreviation DSOTM. I'll also occasionally use character abbreviations for non - formal (Alright lets be honest nothing around here is formal, but I think you get what I mean.) posts. Here's a list of what I use Mercury: Merc Jupiter: Jup Saturn: Sat Uranus / Caelus: Ura / Cae Planet X: X Probably more I'm not thinking of - Just use context to try and figure it out :p
