Shadow: this is my little brother, Silver. And this is my BABY BROTHER, Eclipse

Eclipse: D:<

Don't call them babies

[snowe-zolynn-rogers]

Kill Code Moon: Son?

Eclipse, holding baby Solar Flare: Yeah?

Kill Code Moon: What do you have?

Eclipse: Oh, a coffee. Monty got it for me.

Kill Code Moon: …No the fucking baby, you dolt!

[brightsstar]

I don't want to keep these to myself.

Based on a roleplay i'm in on the security breach show server.

Explanation: Eclipse being a father figure to Sun, Moon, and Ruin because Creator tampered with them to turn them into kids as a distraction, and I just.. *holds gently*

I really want to make an au out of it-

[brightstar2000]

I'm officially gonna admit it. EAPS is now my favorite tsbs show. SAMS is now second favorite.

Dadclipse has my heart. I am so happy that's canon now.

Still not gonna let myself fall behind on SAMS. I just get more excited for EAPS episodes now than SAMS episodes. I watch LAES when i feel like it.

[snowe-zolynn-rogers]

Make it three. Eclipse from my Baby Solar Flare AU would adopt them so instantly. Just kinda snatch them up and carry them like a baby. He shows up to the daycare with both baby Solar Flare and Broken New BM in his arms like ‘y’all I got a new baby. This one is actually twins!’

Madcat unveils a new Bloodmoon variant and said Bloodmoon immediately gets adopted by two different universes

OK SO. who want more thoughts of “heehoo i import sun and moon into my oc world :]”

i have Comics and Pictures in my brain that i cannot draw out so the next best thing is giant text post under the cut

lot of explanations and context incoming! i did not fucking realize that importing sun and moon into the world would actually be beneficial as all hell

they have inadvertently helped me worldbuild on the lore with all the gods and stuff and im actually happy with how it came out! i had god lore before with a bunch of pieces that i knew would happen but it was all janky, disconnected, and i just did not like it

pro tip that apparently works, at least for me: imagine what if blorbos exist in your oc world. you just gain free worldbuilding apparently

OK OK NOW ONTO THE SUN MOON PART. there’s still missing parts and i’m not done with them yet but here’s what i’ve got so far

sun’s name is gold and moon’s name is silver, and eclipse is their father (because i just like dadclipse for reasons that are unknown to me) and eclipse’s name is most likely saturn. shit does saturn even exist in this oc world. ANYWAYS i just straight up ripped the 7 planetary metals, i saw the associations that the several metals had with the sun/moon/planets and went oooh cool. this part may be scrapped or reworked later, it’s a bit shaky. it is really shaky actually

BACKSTORY: reincarnation is a thing in the oc world, maintained by the god of rebirth, whose role i originally created to stand in for the y/n character but now they’re an actual oc. oops. the god of rebirth is canon in the lore now. no more y/n character my bad

they are the one god that has no true name! assuming you know every god’s true name and everything, you hold the least power over the god of rebirth. the closest to a true name you can get is ouroboros, which is a title equal to god of rebirth anyways

to the other gods, ouroboros is known for being MIA, and very hard to track that it’s usually not worth the effort. the reason for that is because they’re usually off living their next life as Some Animal and keeps going to their next life. however, recent events means that it’s actually possible to track down ouroboros, now that they’ve stopped bouncing off to live their next life and are actually staying down as a god for this while

why? the world is Mega Fucked. gods are concepts given form, and some guy killed a majority of the pantheon. as you can imagine, this has some Extreme Consequences

the most relevant god to ouroboros (and some other gods) that got killed is the god of death. life, death, and rebirth are a trio of gods, and now death is missing, so life and rebirth have to step up. life is doing his best to pull people’s lifespans out and cut them shorter, which doesn’t work that well

rebirth has to keep a lot of things from coming back and living their next life, which makes them incredibly ill to essentially go against themself. the navigator, an entirely separate god that used to have nothing to do with all of this, is also stepping in to fill death’s role as best as he can by tracking down the wayward souls, and forcibly cutting people’s lives short if he finds them living past what should’ve killed them

everything is just not dying :V this includes disease too, so flu season is Hell On Earth

rebirth is still letting a few souls through, but keeping a lot of them behind what is basically a gate. 2 of the souls that rebirth lets through is sun and moon :]

WHAT WAS SUN AND MOON’S PREVIOUS LIFE BEFORE THEY WERE REBORN AS HUMANS? I’M GLAD YOU ASKED

THEY WERE GIANT FUCKING MACHINES FUUUUCK YEAH

the machine lore isn’t all that well built yet but before The Apocalypse, humans were just building giant machines and vibing with them. like i am imagining shadows of the colossus here (mainly the bird honestly) but they look a lot more mechanical

yes, the machines are alive. rebirth is also surprised, they thought they’d have to keep back the billions of microbes that made up the machine (like rain world!) from going to their next life, which, yeah, they did have to do that, but the machines themselves each counted as One Guy too which made rebirth go ! (exclamation mark)

rebirth is very excited about this and takes the opportunity to introduce themself to the boys when the 2 of them made a crooked little shrine in their backyard

eventually into adulthood, i have some possible events that might happen

1) moon nearly dies (he was like👌this close to dying and was in a lot of pain) when a Mysterious Person shows up, asks if he “accepts the consequences of their help” (he agreed), and then gets better!

the other living fears, if they ever meet him, call him Nyctophobia (they don’t even ask for his name) (why is spellcheck trying to get me to rewrite Nyctophobia into Arachnophobia). turns out the Mysterious Person was a living fear that turned him into one of their kin

except, Uh Oh, that sure had consequences! he and his family watches day by day as he becomes less human and become more of a living shadowy wisp. he becomes more hungry the more along the transformation is, until he figures out what his new form feeds on: the fear others have of the night and of the dark.

-side note: i say fear but it’s pretty flexible. fear, doubt, etc, as long as it’s a Thing the person embodies, they feed off of it. moon’s Person was Imposter Syndrome, who at one point, took the imposter part of it pretty literally

EDIT: i feel like i should describe moon’s meeting with this guy further. moon definitely knew something was up even before they opened their mouth, given that he was talking to his doppleganger

2) i’m not too sure what to do with sun. i’ve been juggling the idea of him becoming the emissary of a god! he gains powers, and in return, helps them with their duties and whatever tasks they assign him. i’ve been bouncing him as emissary of the moon or as emissary of the hunt

if he’s the emissary of the moon, he actually performs duties more related to the sun inside. the god of the sun is dead (which is why there’s a Big Fucking Ice Age and why a majority of humans live underground now), and the only person who can take over is the god of the moon, who’s doing a shit job at it since the sun is not under his domain and control

sun is going to struggle taking over the god of the moon’s solar duties though, since the powers he gets from this is related to the moon, not the sun

if sun instead becomes an emissary of the hunt (a position i thought of giving to moon a few times), then he hunts people down! it’s not limited to humans, anything that’s alive is free game. at some point, the god of the hunt joins the cycle trio (life, death, rebirth), filling in death’s missing role alongside the navigator (who guides people to rebirth)

[snowe-zolynn-rogers]

Kill Code Moon: Eclipse? Are you alright? You haven’t come out all day.

Eclipse, hasn’t slept and is in tears: I can’t get him to sleep.

Kill Code Moon: Here, let me try? *takes baby Solar Flare*

Baby Solar Flare: *falls asleep against KC immediately*

Eclipse: So I’m just a shit mother, that’s what it is!

Kill Code Moon: Son, you’re beyond stressed, you need rest. Flare can tell that, he was upset you were trying to take care of him while you neglected yourself. You’re a wonderful mother, you just need to let people help you. You can’t always do everything when you’re neglecting your own needs. Come here.

Eclipse: *lets KC pull him in and falls asleep against him immediately as well*

[snowe-zolynn-rogers]

Eclipse: What are you doing?

Sun: Holding your baby at a distance because he chewed on my wires last time.

Eclipse: God, you’re a wimp. C’mere baby. *takes baby Solar Flare from Sun*

Baby Solar Flare: *settles down and falls asleep against Eclipse’s shoulder*

Sun: You’re just magic.

Eclipse: It’s called hold him right and he loves his mom!

Eclipse the darkling had been alive for over a hundred years, in that time he raised a lot of kids. All of them orphans, all of them brought back to his village. He had seen a lot in that time, children who had seen their parents or sibling die, kids who had been so upset they didn't start talking for weeks. It was part of the world they lived in.

He had never thought he would deal with his much younger self, especially seeing his trauma on full display.

This Eclipse was still a hatchling, his scales were bright and shiny red that indicated that. He still had his baby teeth. When he was scared, he would hold onto his tail or his favorite toy for comfort. He was just a child.

And yet, he had gone through so much pain, he had been cut off from the hivemind. He was mentally alone. A terrible condition for someone who had hatched among noise and surrounded by others.

He wasn't physically alone. This human was taking care of him, along with the hedgehogs that also lived here. And the man did seem like he cared, was making an effort.

But he wasn't Black Arms, he didn't know what it meant for a hatchling to be completely abandoned and left for dead. Or how much this child was silently suffering.

Eclipse could barely remember being that age himself, barely remembered what it was like to be so young and full of bad ideas and impulses, but he did remember being proud and stubborn, digging in his heels and insisting getting his own way over mundane things.

It was another to actually see that in front of him.

This young Clippy looked at him stubbornly, already full of spitfire. "I'm fine."

"You can be honest with me," Eclipse told him. He could feel the heavy waves of emotions coming off him, the weight of carrying all this pain. "I'm you, no one else will know."

He thought it would take longer but then he had a sobbing hatchling in his arms.

And it all came out. How hard it was, how much he missed the hivemind and being around others, that he was having a difficult time adjusting to this new planet and being part of a family, how alone his mind was and overall, how much he was struggling. And the hardest part of all, what if his choice to be here instead of crawling back to Black Doom had been the wrong choice.

It made Eclipse's heart shatter for him. No one else would be able to understand this kid's pain like himself. Here alone might have the power to get through to him.

"You made the right choice and you are not alone," he insisted. "But there's something you need to know."

Eclipse gently titled his younger self's face upwards, seeing those bright gold eyes full of years and pain and suffering. Poor child. "It will get better," he said, speaking quiet but intensely. "But you have to ask for help."

"They can't help me."

"They can," Eclipse said. "You are not alone and people care about you. Shadow does and so does Wade. They want to help you, they want to make it better, but first you need to let them know you need it and be able to accept it.

His younger self's voice broke, smeared with tears and pain as he gazed upward, "are you sure? It will get better?"

"It will," Eclipse insisted, holding him close as the younger Eclipse sobbed into his chest plate, all the stress and pain leaking out of him.

He hoped this boy would listen, that hearing his older self tell him that there was hope, but he had to start reaching out, that he had to let go of some of his pride.

Gently, he stroked the boy's back and thought about what else he could do to help him.

no

fuck you

i dont care about them

what do you mean

leave me alone

There was something so visceral about seeing one's younger self. Especially for Eclipse and when it was himself was in so much pain.

He had never been the most stable of people. Black Doom had seen to that, especially after they had been destroyed. For a long time, he thought Shadow had wanted him dead, so he had thought to protect the Dark arms, he would need kill Shadow first.

The two of them had fought for a long time, gone at each other over and over. It had taken a long time, but they had finally made up. And then grown closer together, learning how to be brothers, how to truly care for each other.

It had taken lots of years, but Eclipse and Shadow were finally at a good point. They knew how to protect each other, how to tease without hurting the others. Most importantly, they were friends as well as close brothers.

But their younger selves were not. They still quarreled, still didn't know how to act like good brothers.

It was difficult for Eclipse to see, because he knew part of the reason was Clippy and his attitude.

The younger Eclipse, Clippy was young and brash. He said whatever popped into his mind, he didn't know boundaries or limits yet. He would push and poke at others around him, not realizing when he was going to far.

And then suffered the consequences when he did.

Such after hours of annoying Silver and Silver told him that he wished he was gone. That had hurt Clippy a lot, first sending him into a rage. If Eclipse hadn't been there, he might have hurt someone.

And then ending in tears. So many tears.

Eclipse remembered what it was like, trying to adjust to a new role in life. Feeling intense amounts of self loathing. Eclipse had always been his own self-serving prophecy. Drive others away before they could tell you to leave.

He wanted to be loved, he wanted it so badly. But he also was full of bad habits that got in his own way. Sometimes it was almost amusing how much Eclipse's own worst enemy was always himself.

Almost.

It was practically a part of who he was at this. For the longest time, Eclipse had worried that people, especially his brother secretly hated him and wanted him to leave. It took years of reassurance until those fears had left.

Clippy had not had that, he was young and literal and afraid of losing the fragile life he had.

Eclipse had spent years unlearning those habits. And now, he was being forced to look at them once again. Life was funny that way. Just when he thought he was over something, it was time to watch his much younger self wrestle with the same lessons he had dealt with.

Most importantly, Eclipse was a dad, it was almost impossible for him not to jump back into parent mode to try and help. Especially when it came to his younger self and how much this child was hurting. Life had dealt him some hard cards.

He would help, the best he could. But in the end, this was the lesson that Clippy had to learn all on his own. No one else could do it for him.

And more importantly, Clippy would have to decide if he would take the lesson to heart or not. Eclipse had always been quite stubborn, sometimes he had to wrestle with a painful lesson a few times before it stuck.

Eclipse just clutched the crying child to his chest and rocked him. There would be a lot of conflict resolution in both his and Silver's future about this.

AMES

AMES PLEASE

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY

LET THE BOIS BE HAPPY

Monty: *working on Gator Golf*

Baby Solar Flare, hugging his leg: Mommy?

Monty: Ecliiiipse, your kid called me ‘Mommy’!

Eclipse, picking baby Solar Flare up: I’m so sorry. He’s still learning how to say names. He’s still calling Moon ‘Moo’ and Sun ‘Thumb’.

Monty, taking baby Solar Flare from him: Back off, I’m his mom now.

[ayyy-imma-ninja]

DADCLIPSE!!!!!!

Anyway! Here have some doodles form today and yesterday! We gots more Dadclipse and his babies backups! With Killcode, likely barged some doors to hold the grandchildren. And Lunars! Just Lunar's don't worry about it.

PokeAu with Minior Lunar and Lycanroc Bloodmoon. don't know what happened there HMNN, some mafia boys! Some colored drawings, Sun!Lunar and Servant!Eclipse, i like how eclipses came out

[snowe-zolynn-rogers]

Baby Solar Flare: *crying*

Sun: What do we do?

Moon: I don’t know.

Lunar: Please stop crying?

Monty: Little man, it’s okay.

Blood Moon: Child do not cry.

Eclipse: *picks baby Solar Flare up*

Baby Solar Flare: *stops crying*

Eclipse: Four of the five of you are daycare attendants, how did you not know he just wanted me?

[brightsstar]

Dad Eclipse au is making me think of the possibility of “Uncle Lunar” and now I’m curious if Lunar is in that AU and how he’d likely be as an uncle if he is

Possibly. In the roleplay, Lunar is also a child, so he has four to look after. If i decide to adapt it tho, Uncle Lunar could become possible for sure

[brightsstar]

The Dadclipse stuff now makes me wonder how the RE Fam would likely react if they discovered that dimension lol

I’m just imagining the utter bafflement the Fam would have over an Eclipse being a single dad of three

Actually it's four now, in the roleplay at least. One was a newer addition that was added after i made the doodles lol

Eclipse would probably have high respect for Dadclipse for managing that and not losing his temper. On top of those four, he has to run the daycare too, so even more respect to him lol
