Why dose it feel like the Solarballs team changes how a character acts just to push the plot along?

In both of the newest episodes everyone has been acting out of character for them! Like just look at the rocky planets (+Luna)! They were dismissive and down right rude for Earth and for what?? I get there was a lot happening the past few episodes both with the competitions to get Jupiter back and him coming back in general but there was not reason to just shut him down immediately once Earth tried talking to them about Theia and learning more about the past.

His clearly not doing very well at the moment and they don't even seem to care! Not one bit! It makes me wonder if Earth DID try to talk to them about him Earthlings and how much they hurt him only to be dismissed or talked over like in the video, how many times have Earth tired to brooch the topic only to be shut down immediately?

Even Luna wasn't much help! He just deflected when Earth tried asking about Theia and while it did seem like he was trying to distract him, saying that there wasn't a point worrying about, it since both Jupiter and Planet X were gone, he immediately followed it up by saying "It's important day for me" coupled with how he acted after the game was dismantled? Just yelling at Earth without letting him talk?

Don't even get me started with Mercury and the other rock planet! Saying Earth's suicide attempt was a "stunt" like wtf??! Dose that even sound like something Mercury would say? Sure his a bit socially awkward due to being isolated from the rest of the Rockies due to the Sun and Venus but not that much!

I can’t add more than one video apparently but there’s two more that leads right into my point! Or maybe just any seen or earth interacts with other people 

I have so many feelings about this episode and none of them are good!

If you have any thoughts please share<33

Tw: Themes of mental illness. (Also, there's spoilers for the new Solarballs episode and possibly broken English).

I watched the new Solarballs episode and like other people have already mentioned, Uranus is NOT doing well.

He's, in my opinion, mentally unwell in a more discret way than other characters like Neptune, Earth and Jupiter. Characters like them, with their memory and identity problems (Neptune), depressive episodes (Earth) and boderline paranoia (Jupiter) are obvious examples of bad mental health overall, but Uranus is there too with them to be honest. He's insecure asf and clearly has a low self-steem, and the new episode really showcased that.

He has like, no principles at all. He doesn't care that the guy who basically acted as an older brother to everyone is now gone (he doesn't seem conflicted about what Jupiter did, he just... got over it) and he doesn't mind X basically bullying Saturn (even though Saturn became his friend in the searching for Neptune arc). Don't get me wrong, X has all of the right reasons to be mean to those two, but Uranus really doesn't. He doesn't care unlike Neptune because X is going to give him what he wants: recognition, respect, -atention-. That's what he wants.

Because he's just known as the "stinky planet", the "one with the funny name" and probably discount Saturn. His social skills are lackluster, his only friends are the guy who is better than him and his honorary cousin who is gone like 50% of the time. For heavens sake, they don't even have that much in common. And we can't forget that he doesn't even get to say anything about the "big matter at the moment" a majority of the time. He's irrelevant not because he thinks he is, he's irrelevant because he actually is. That's why he acts like an asshole sometimes (wich I'm not justifying, I'm just stating the reasons) just to get validation.

And, personally, I like this direction. Sure, it won't work if Solarballs keeps refusing to give him his own arc or at least make him more relevant overall, but I do think it fits him.

Hello everyone! (Links in the comments, since I want this to reach more people!!)

I recently found out that 6 days ago, between 1 and 63,200,000 works on A03have been stolen to train AI.

These have been used on a site called HuggingFace and later a few others that haven’t been named as of yet.

And while A03 managed to temporarily disable the uses of these works for AI, please be careful when uploading stories online, it is becoming even easier for companies to steal from us, with little to no consequences as the law hasn’t caught up to were it need to be as of now.

If you want to be a bit more careful, some are saying you can set your fics as registered users only, so only people with an account can view it, but I am not sure how well this will work, since it was someone with an account that stole off A03

Anyways please share this if you can! I don’t use Reddit so I was completely in the dark until now and I’m sure others are in the same boat!

You don’t even need to reblog this, just reach out to your mutuals or other fanfic writers to make sure they are aware of what’s happening❤️

If anyone is starved for Nep and triton interactions, I can’t recommend this book enough, it’s so sad, yet nice at the end

(Not my story)

Do you remember how in old Solarballs episodes the rocky planets used Pluto's name as mockery? And a lot of people assumed they were bad friends? Which is honestly valid, because it seemed like they only cared about his status as a planet.

But in the last arc, we had seen Pluto with the gas giants and all of them semingly cool with Pluto and act very happy to see him as an old friend. Which is pretty contrasting compared to the rocky planet.

And now that I thought about it, Pluto and the rocky planets most likely weren't friends to begin with. We know Sun doesn't like when the planets leave their orbits. And Pluto's orbit is billions of kilometers away. In planets ordered by size arc Mars says that the rocky planets and Ice giants tend to forget about each other because of their distance. Pluto is even further away for the most time. Taking this into fact, the only time he would really be able to interact with the rockies was if the Sun had gather all planets for some reason. And I doubt it was a everyday occurrence. For the rocky planets Pluto probably was just some very very distant planet that barely crossed their minds until his demotion

But as Giants are much further away, interacting with them would be far easier. I'm even going to say he had a huge advantage in being small here, because it's harder to notice him move out of his orbit if he ever did. And with this, Pluto could have much closer relationship with them.

Hey. What if Neptune was the one who found Planet X instead of the moons?

This idea randomly popped into my head and I cant get rid of it please help i am already working on TWO fanfics 😭

I saw this ask and my two (2) remaining neurons collided and decided to give me the biggest brainblast I’ve ever had. I have thoughts about this idea.

First of all, I can’t see anything major changing; just little (albeit important) changes. X still wouldn’t come back to the solar system before Ganymede and Europa find him. He wanted someone to represent him and help him plea his case to the Sun. It’s very unlikely that he’d settle for Neptune to do that job, especially since he’s been waiting for 4.6 billion years.

Technically, depending on when they actually meet, Neptune may not even remember X by the time he comes back. For this we’ll assume that Neptune does remember him/they met “recently” (sometime during/directly before or after the Moon Revolution).

X would already know a lot about Neptune because of all of his stalking (lol), so I don’t think his attitude towards him would change that much. He’d still view Neptune as an incompetent idiot. Maybe he’d use him to gain more information on the other planets (not that Neptune would know much about anyone other than Uranus).

It would definitely change a lot for Neptune, though. He’d probably try to befriend X immediately, and I can imagine X playing along with the whole “friendship” thing. Neptune leaves his orbit pretty frequently to check up on X and while he does find it a bit annoying, it’s also a little endearing, especially after not talking to anyone for billions of years.

X would tell him about how he was thrown out of the solar system by Jupiter and Saturn and that, one day, he’s planning to return. Neptune would encourage him to, saying that he’s sure all the others would love to meet him. X, of course, conveniently leaves out the fact that he wants to get Jupiter exiled and take his place.

I think it would be funny if Neptune mentions X to Uranus and Uranus is just like “Oh God, now he has two imaginary friends.” Imagine his face when he finds out that X is real lol

When X comes back with the moons, everyone is shocked and/or terrified, while Neptune is just like “omg hi neighbor!!!” Then, Jupiter is kicked out and Neptune is upset, but he gives X the benefit of the doubt. He reasons that he probably didn’t mean for Jupiter to get exiled and if anything it was Sun’s decision in the end.

Then, the Caelus situation happens. X is less confrontational with Neptune than in canon, but he still tries to keep Neptune and Uranus separated. He knows that Uranus is far easier to manipulate, but also doesn’t want to cause any unnecessary conflict with Neptune. Neptune feels like something is up, but he doesn’t actively fight with X or Uranus. He’s not actually against X, not yet, but he’s not nearly as fanboyish as Uranus.

Then, the moons challenge X and Neptune finally goes against X. He confronts him about not really wanting what’s best for the solar system, that he’s only after revenge. It’s actually pretty similar to Neptune conversation with Uranus in canon, except Neptune would be a lot less understanding and more angry because he thought they were friends and X lied.

X is distraught but continues with the challenges against the moons. From there, everything continues on as canon. Proteus confronts X (I’d have Proteus’ words mirror Neptune’s during their argument, for that extra sprinkle of ✨angst✨), he flees, has a conversation with Jupiter, and leaves the solar system.

This would probably affect the next arc more than anything (especially bc I believe that it’ll probably focus on Uranus/Caelus), but since that’s not out yet… yeah. That’s my take on this idea!!
