Operation: Romance Terry, Part 3

The idea for Terry ordering for Korvo was created by @a-crab-called-diz btw !! Please check them out

[avaveevo]

My re-enactment of the Super Goobler scene

@cartoonfanaticmonsterrobotalien

Jesse: STOP CALLING ME JESSICA! MY! NAME! IS! JESSE!!!

Jesse suddenly starts glowing

Terry/Solar Flare: Woah! What's happening???

Jesse/Electra's Transformation Sequence:

After transforming, Jesse uses her electric wrecking ball to explode the White Goobler.

Janiz: Alright! We're free! But...what happened...?

Korvo/The Legendary Super Shlorpian: Unless I'm mistaken, Jesse's anger must have tapped into her powers...

Terry/Solar Flare: WHO CARES?! Her transformation was super cool!

Yumyulack/Psylock: No. It was weird.

Jesse/Electra gives Yumyulack/Psylock a death stare.

Yumyulack/Psylock: Uh, I mean cute.

Jesse/Electra: *giggles* Better.

Sneak Peak to Solar Opposites in Mighty Solars Issue #10: Mighton’s Requiem

artwork not mine As Maximum Belt awakens, she sees Terry with his eyes glowing orange and is now looking at her with blazing fury as the fully enraged green Shlorpian breaths in and out in anger and approaches her.

Maximum Belt: How cute. You pathetic piece of shit is gonna fight me? mocking baby voice You are so lame. So weak. So-

But then, before Maximum Belt could finish her insulting sentence, she is suddenly stopped when Terry grabbed by the head and rips it wide open as a light beam appears from her head as she scream as in pain as the power gets suck out of her as she screams in pain as she turns back into Sarah, now powerless and no longer Blue Belt, or Premium Belt, or worst Maximum Belt.

Sarah: N-no…. collapsed into a concussion as Terry began to feel something in his body as orange sparks surrounded his body

Qausarblast: running up while calling out for Terry Terry! sees Terry Huh?

An orange electric twister appears around Terry as he growls. He then opens his eyes as a mask appears on his face and an orange superhero-like suit appears on his body. As the twister fades away, it shows Terry, now wearing his own super suit, breathing in and out as he looks around the area growling.

Terry/???: ROAR!

Qausarblast: whispering T-Terry?

Terry roars as he takes apart his pole suddenly, because there is no way anyone could do that. Unless…. Terry now has super strength! Terry throws the pole as he bashes it against Sarah as she screams and hits the building while the FBI agents heads over. Korvo is terrified as he sees his own husband has transformed into an out of control supposedly Mighty Solar.

Qausarblast: in his head Oh no! Terry!

Kevin: Whoa, is that a Mighty Solar?

Ms. Perez: I don’t know.

Principal Cooke: He’s like a…. MIGHTON!

Terry, now goes by Mighton, kneels down like a savage animal as he growls at the citizens as they back away slowly. Qausarblast heads up to Mighton as Mighton leaps and escapes while roaring. Qausarblast gasp in horror as he witness his husband ran off like that.

Qausarblast: to the citizens Everyone! It’s gonna be okay! That man is my husband!

Citizens: What?! No way! That new Mighty Solar is Qausarblast’s husband?

Qausarblast: Yes, but look. becomes frustrated as he rubs his head as he groans I’m sorry. I can’t explain! Right now, I have to go help my husband! He needs me.

Qausarblast heads to his scooter and rides to Mighton as Qausarblast looks back at his photo of him with his family, but is still determined to get his beloved Terry back.

Penny for some thoughts about the clusterfuck that is Solar Opposites s2 (Contains spoilers)

Now that I am no longer drunk out of my mind and watched s2 four more times just to be sure I didn’t miss anything while I was crossfaded. it’s time to talk about it

Ep1 was great. It had more lore for shlorpians with a different perspective and i find it interesting that Korvo didn’t even know there were rich shlorpians. They also lived on floating platforms in the sky, like rich people lived in the clouds and working shlorpians lived on the ground, literally separating the two types of classes

The rich shlorpians said they wanted the pupa so they could get back to being rich, which means they don’t know that they will die, either way, they been jebaited

Did not expect shlorpians to be religious... kinda. but i’m not complaining.

The jokes hit hard and everything was kinda fast. The funniest thing about the season was a wacky plots 

I like how different Terry and Korvo are when dealing with negative emotions 

Terry becomes passive aggressive when dealing with negative emotions. specifically with anger. 

When Korvo basically changes everything about Terry in the Lake House episode, the only thing he doesn’t change is how Terry deals with negative emotions. Imagine not being understood and then becoming a goth because no one understands you, not even your partner, who is essentially the same person as you now. And it’s great.

I love violent goth Terry.

kinda shows how repressed he is to the point of “breaking”

Korvo becomes petty when dealing with negatives emotions too, but instead of anger, it’s sadness or when he’s hurt emotionally

S2ep2 reminds me of s1ep3, they both have something to do with parties and Korvo not being included and because he’s petty af he makes a complicated plan. the plot for the episode was just as mind-fucking as s1.

When Korvo’s sad/hurt, instead of talking about it, he makes a whole ass bill to ban Terry from having to hang out with his human friends because he spends too much time with them and not enough time with him. It isn’t until the shit hits the fan that he finally fesses up, which I find to be perfect. AND it ends with a uwu kiss. 

I find it odd and genius that Terry isn’t how you expect him to be. He looks like he wears his heart on his sleeves, yet he’s the one who shows less emotion than Korvo. Plus he doesn’t know how to express bad emotions and does the whole pretending that everything is fine thing

Could be due to being a laid-back person. By being laid-back, it means not worrying or at least showing it (which btw, if you express emotions, it means you care) 

Maybe someone hurt him enough for him to be passive aggressive OR it could be Shlorp, who the fuck knows

it begs the question, if he represses the bad feelings, what else does he repress?

Korvo LOOKS like he wouldn’t be the type to express emotions, yet he’s the one who is able to show sadness and anger— or a better way to explain, he doesn’t hold back on his emotions. He’s more open of the two adult aliens

AND THEY COME FROM THE SAME PLACE.

When Korvo insults Terry, he gets angry

When Terry insults Korvo, he gets sad and cries.

Korvo and Terry do things to cancel each other out. It’s cute.

Like when Korvo bans dinner parties and Terry still goes to them using sci-fi stuff to do it.

or when korvo goes to live with the other aliens and Terry trashes the house to get rid of his presence. Then mentions that Korvo’s dead

They bond over making fun of humans.

I’d expect this from Korvo, but Terry also makes fun of them too, despite wanting to be liked by them. Dunno, maybe Korvo rubbed off on him.

Korvo and Terry strive to get people to like them.

Korvo with the new aliens

Terry with humans

The way they do it is different. Terry acts like himself with humans, Korvo tries to act like himself but he lies to fit in

The wall, my god, the wall was amazing. The episode that focuses on the wall doesn’t take place inside the wall.

I never thought i’d feel for The Duke, though i expected he and Cherie would have some kind of relationship going on

The music, my god so good

Also the trope with the hero who unknowingly saves the villain.

Forest City, (Wood City?) I don’t remember what they called it

The plot for that was so ridiculous; they lose their car in the forest so they use a device to build a city so they could rent a car to find their car, but they end up getting lost in the city.

The fact that Terry took somewhat studied “pathfinding to prepare for life on dangerous aliens world”

I died when Korvo said he wanted to be a gangster, then he never actually becomes one and keeps getting chased by wolves. In the end, he was just a guy in a business suit

Jesse becomes a bad bitch like I knew she would

I can’t believe all four of the characters lost sight of their goal within a few days probably.

Also yumyulack jr

and the ref to wolf of wall street. Wait, is that why wolves were chasing Korvo because he was attempting to be a gangster? WHAT IS THE RELATION, besides being in a fucking forest?

Prostitute Terry and his tiddies

Korvo and Terry actually like being in each other's company

Red Goobler

My eyes were burned out of my skull, you know what i’m talkin about, the “sleeping through the alarm” scene, which got me second guessing myself that maybe it might be an alarm but it turns out they’re fucking. and there’s a wet condom on the ceiling.

the possibility of Korvo being pregnant? For s3? Impossible but still, it would be funny, then it turns out he’s not pregnant, it’s another red goobler, but he can’t tell if it’s from stress or the fucking

Terry is trying his best

I hope they don’t make terry into an idiot. Like in s1, he was dumb but not an idiot.

also terry admitting he’s too insecure to form his own opinions and Korvo liking the fact that he doesn’t have a firm belief

I am happy for that basic rat chick

Also if Korvo’s a bottom, and assuming Terry is one too, they don’t fuck because they’re both busy being bottoms?

After one night of implied sex, Korvo wanted to marry the red goobler. was the implied sex that good?

The apple pencil pro was just weird

Now that the solar opposites are dead, but not really, what now?

Can we talk about how they all went to fulfill each other’s goals more than their own. It’s sweet.

Lets not talk about Terry wanting to eat out Ms. Frankie, but Korvo does it instead, and he keeps going at it

Korvo likes eating out confirmed?

There was a lot of sexual stuff in this show. I dig it.

Also Terry being the first to die in the last episode, I dunno if I could see him killing his family. I mean I know he would but everyone else had some kind of contraption, except Korvo, who used magic instead, which is funny because he’s the most scientific one there, unless he uses science in it then it would make sense.

Mini Korvos look cute but I know they’re all little shits

i kinda wanna know more about Yumyulack’s past as a bounty hunter, like what did they do as a curriculum, was there even a course on bounty hunting? did Yumyulack only say that to sound cool? who knows! I hope s3 has Korvo and Jesse plots because I see them to be the most alike.

Dunno why, but all the solar’s head exploding was aesthetically pleasing and when they all get rebirthed again with their heads popping out of the tree, reminds me of the tree from pocahontas

This season had a bunch of sci-fi stuff and I love it. I hope there’s more sci-fi stuff in the future.

Also Korvo and Terry are both fucking idiots and I live for it.

[according-to-shlorp]

I JUST NOTICED SOMETHING....

TERRY HAS 3 GEM SHAPES!

Teardrop like thing, rectangle, and DIAMONDS! [They’re only on his boots but still.]

Starting to think this is a stylistic choice. Since Terry is the only one to be shown with 3. Maybe this was his way of having some kind of originality back on Shlorp. I’ve heard of people speculating that they gems are relationship indicators. Korvo has a diamond. While I don’t entirely think they’re indicators, maybe they can get a shape [still head canon the idea the colour is assigned/matches an aura. I like that lol] but like, if it’s now official they’re a couple, he wasn’t in a relationship with Korvo back on Shlorp so... how would he get a gem? Unless one was made with their tech or something.

But all the other Shlorpians in the show have matching shapes on their robes and boots. And We all know Terry isn’t a traditional kind of guy. [Which is what’s leading me to the idea of it being a style choice and rebel against the government. Show an ounce of originality.] Maybe the boot ones mean nothing?

Anyone else have thoughts on this?

[sluttyspiderkinnie]

Also because I’ve been talking so much recently about deeper analysis of characters and my begging for more background about pre-mission lives on Shlorp, I’d like to point out that it’s totally fair of Korvo to be frustrated that Terry really doesn’t care about the mission and doesn’t know what he’s talking about when he’s supposed to be an expert on the pupa. But I also speculate/headcanon that Terry cheated and lied his way into even getting a mission because if he didn’t he would’ve been left to die. Either that or something just bad was gonna happen to him. What I’ve been imagining is that when Shlorp blew up, they left a lot of Shlorpians to die if they didn’t think they’d be beneficial to creating a new and even further advanced society for Shlorp 2.0. I just don’t think that Terry would’ve even put in the effort to do all of that unless there was a serious motive to. And I think if he actually disclosed literally any of that to Korvo then he’d be way more understanding and patient w Terry. But also he’d still be like pls help me I get it but this still sucks for me because I feel duped and being lied to abt what I was going into is not fair to me. I am beggingggggg for context about this.

[safekeeperscosm]

I don't have a blog here, but I do want to share my own AU in the backburner, so far I have Terry turning out to be a lost Shlorpian prince- and yes I'm that anon who gushes about Meraliens. (I'm Jules, or Gary, He/They) ⭐

Prince Terry?? lost?? oh my, did he run away? is he keeping his identity a secret or does he not know? we did find out there are privileged shlorpians so.. 👁️👁️ unless this has a more fantasical setting?

it's lovely to have you here Gary (✿^‿^)

[momfriend-of-mortys]

Alright fuck it I'm just gonna be honest and cut straight to how I really feel; I just want them to be able to connect with humans. Just give us ONE canon reoccurring human friend that they actually like.

I find it hard to believe that they've been on Earth for... three years? And still haven't experienced a slight emotional bond with a human.

With Korvo it's forgivable since he's in denial that Earth life can be anywhere close to how Shlorp life was worth. But how is it possible that Terry doesn't have a close Earth buddy that we see more of? This outgoing and social alien? Like there's no human in this version of Earth that would find it cool to smoke weed with an alien? Like there's no one who literally dreams about meeting aliens? Yeah no Im not buying it.

We know for a fact that Shlorpians can feel empathy (on some level), their emotions aren't different from humans at all, and we know that some humans were totally cool and even friendly with the Shlorpians in general (the Tig Ol' Bitties guy, the nice steak dinner guy, the guy that told Korvo about the human concept of death, London taxi/police? guy). So you can't tell me that in THREE YEARS they didn't have a moment of "Woah, you and I aren't so different, and I kinda like to hang out/talk with you!". Also shouldn't they want some kind of human-encyclopedia they trust to have someone to ask when they don't get a human custom?

And you can say that the Shlorpians just don't see humans as people enough to consider their thoughts, but again, they literally had 3 YEARS to figure out human process emotions pretty much the same way as them?? So unless they are mega racist to the point that nothing can change their view of alien lifeforms, I don't see how that's possible.

Solar opposites is great but it fails to address the subjects with the MOST potential.

Like, when Korvo found out he was from a working social class secretly used by a rich non-working social class? His opinion of how utopian his homeworld is could have been SHATTERED by this, but the canon reaction was so... neutral. Or they could at least explore Korvo's state of denial or something.

When they found out that death is final for humans, it could have surprised them. Maybe this whole time they shrugged off the human deaths they caused because they thought it was no biggie. Finding out they actually die forever should be sort of shocking?? But no of course it wasn't.

I was gonna add some more things but I forgot.

Don't get me wrong, I love the show and the premise, the characters, but I feel like the writers are just consciously avoiding things that could make the shlorpians start seeing humans/Earth as more than literal insects. And uh, I just think it's a little... cheap and plot-convenience-y.

[according-to-shlorp]

HERE IT IS! THE POST ABOUT MY OCs, PFIZER, JOHNSON & JOHNSON, MODERNA, AND ASTRAZENECA! :)

Most of it is gathered from my dream, some are things I made up now because I’m starting to expand on them. They’re growing on me, and it makes me happy that people enjoy them, and they’re helping people feel better about the shots. By the way, I decided to make Pfizer a guy. I felt it fit better.

About the unit as a whole:

They were able to leave Shlorp a little earlier than most, and given a prototype Pupa. The Pupa’s weren’t fully developed yet. 5 months early to be exact. It was a trust thing with higher ups. They’re not rich Shlorps. They sadly crash land on Earth. UNFORTUNATELY, there’s a con to leaving early. Though the Pupa looks like the Pupa we all know and love, this being a prototype, it wasn’t perfected and is missing data. It’s unfortunately unable to terraform. [no one is aware of that, including the people who issued the Pupa to them.] Johnson & Johnson later finds it out. Because the Pupa went through all the phases except it turned an unexpected colour after what is to be the final colour instead of it’s true form. [in my dream they didn’t find out yet. But I somehow knew their Pupa is unable to terraform.]

They do their best to live amongst humans. Moderna and AstraZeneca wear Earth clothes most of the time. Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer are supportive of it. Mostly because, they’re not a Shlorp so they’ll let their replicants get away with it while they can. Pfizer isn’t too crazy about it [He’s more traditional and would prefer if the replicants stuck to Shlorpian ways.] but none the less, he doesn’t see it as a big deal. As long as Moderna doesn’t wear it when Shlorp exists again. That’s the only concern he has and the fear that Moderna would grow out of touch with Shlorpian culture. The replicants switch up their style a lot. They didn’t pick a gender but, Moderna sometimes leans towards a girly style. Sometimes, they will dress like a boy. AstraZeneca I couldn’t tell what they lean more towards, I’m still working on it. Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson prefer to wear their robes most of the time. Sometimes, they will wear Earth Clothes depending on the situation or if they feel like it. Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer are a little out of touch when it comes to Earth Trends unlike their replicants. Both of the replicants have a passion for science and are best friends.

Now about them separately [undercut cause it’s long]:

Pfizer:

Team captain.

Back on Shlorp he was a scientist and inventor.

He had a reputation for getting things done quickly but, he didn’t always check his work.

Pfizer might be traditional but he‘s willing to try Earth things. Except for changing up his look. He’s all about the‘robe life’ except those rare moments.

He knew Korvo. Korvo secretly thought there was always something ‘strange’ about Pfizer but, he could never place why. They weren’t close. Korvo thought Pfizer was a spy or dead because he just ‘disappeared’ one day. Really, Pfizer didn’t disappear, he was out on the mission with his unit early.

Despite being smart, most of the time he lacks common sense and gets himself into wacky situations.

He will act on impulse, and not take a moment to stop and re think things. If he believes it, it’s hard to convince him otherwise. Johnson & Johnson tries to help him rethink things. But, when Pfizer does these things it’s out of good intentions. Or if Pfizer wants to do something, it’s hard to get his mind off it and think of the risks. Sometimes Johnson & Johnson can get through to him but, it’s rare. One time, Pfizer went bungee jumping off of Niagara Falls while also attempting to do break dance moves because he thought it would be fun and wanted to show Moderna he can be cool. Another time, he climbed the Empire State Building to ‘prove a point.’ A point he never explained.

Don’t ask him for advice. It’s not that he won’t give it to you, he’ll gladly give someone advice, no matter what species they are [including humans] if asked, but it’s never the best [though he means well.]. He doesn’t always think about what’s legal. For Example: He leaves looking up Earth laws to Johnson & Johnson because ‘there are too many that he doesn’t have time for it.’

He’s not good with setting limits or knowing what a good one to set would be for the Replicants unless it deals with Shlorp. Moderna and AstraZeneca try to use that to their advantage. Johnson and Johnson will interfere if he has a concern and Pfizer is 100% ok with that.

He thinks Johnson & Johnson spoils the Pupa.

Pfizer and Moderna have a healthy relationship. Even if Moderna thinks he’s ‘weird’ or ‘lame’ at times. They’re not too close, and he wasn’t crazy about becoming ‘a father’ but he genuinely cares about Moderna, and Moderna cares too.

Thoughts on humans:

Pfizer, is a little skeptical of humans but unlike Korvo, they don’t hate them. The only time he ends up truly disliking them is when he heard ‘the claims’ about ‘him and his unit’ [which of course end up not being about them.]. At first he was really confused, then his mind automatically jumped to suing Earth. He actually gets along with humans, he doesn’t go out of his way to develop some strong relationship with them. [he finds it pointless because they’ll ‘leave Earth‘.] They don’t bother him.

Johnson & Johnson:

The Pupa specialist/ Data Analyst.

He was a biologist back on Shlorp. And temporarily a dermatologist. But he could also be qualified to be a physician [he had a stronger passion for biology which is why he wasn’t a doctor long]

Everyone on Shlorp except for AstraZeneca addressed him by his full name, Johnson & Johnson. He now goes by nicknames. They include ‘j’ [AstraZeneca started that and he didn’t care.] ‘John,’ mostly humans call him that [sometimes Pfizer will call him that too.] Double J [Pfizer and Moderna only.] and ‘Johnson.’ Pfizer tends to alternate between all 4 nicknames. His other nickname is ‘Dad’ only AstraZeneca calls him that, and it’s rare. [that was one of the happiest days of his life. It happened on Earth. Not Shlorp.]

He knew Terry. He doesn’t have anything against Terry but, he got annoyed when Terry would poke fun at his ridiculously long name. But, he didn’t hold a grudge. [that came from the dream by the way.]

His relationship with AstraZeneca is good. He tries his best to be a good father figure to them and loves his replicant dearly.

He tends to over analyze, and deeply study things. Especially things he finds interesting. The first time he saw a firefly. He spent the whole entire summer studying them because he thought they were beautiful bugs. It drove Pfizer and AstraZeneca nuts constantly hearing facts about them.

He’ll look at the pros and cons of everything.

Johnson & Johnson is the most rational one in the group and the calmest one. Always trying to get everyone to think logically and be careful. Especially Pfizer and Moderna [Moderna might not be his replicant but Johnson cares about them like they’re his own.] He worries and cares about everyone. He often worries that Pfizer will get himself killed one day due to some of his actions. He tends to Pfizer’s wounds a lot. [Pfizer gets hurt the most.]

He believes in peace amongst planets and inter species friendships. [though he never mentioned this on Shlorp. He was good at conforming.] Cares about all lifeforms. Johnson hopes they are able to get off Earth before the Pupa terraforms because he doesn’t believe that the humans should lose their planet. They did nothing wrong.

Thoughts on Humans:

He finds them interesting and observed them from a distance for some time before interacting. He can tell that they mean no harm [the ones their team ran into]. Made friends with a few. He might be open to humans but he’s hesitant to try Earth things. He didn’t really want to sue Earth because the whole thing didn’t make sense to him. Why would the humans all of a sudden spread things about them? But he ends up going along with it to make Pfizer happy because there was no reasoning with him.

Moderna:

Pfizer’s replicant.

AstraZeneca is their best friend.

Has the nickname ‘Momo’ [Pfizer calls them that] and ‘Mo’ [ AstraZeneca calls them that.]

Didn’t pick a gender. Despite not identifying with a specific gender, they lean a little more towards a ‘girlish’ style.

Likes wearing Earth Clothes. Switches up styles all the time. Guy trends, girl trends, doesn’t matter. They’ll wear whatever appeals to them. Could be guy one day, next a girl. They don’t follow any gender norms.

Being Pfizer’s replicant, they also lack common sense. They too, will act on impulse but, it’s mostly when they think something is ‘cool’ they’ll do it. But unlike Pfizer, they are a little more careful and actually will listen to Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca to rethink things if ever asked.

Being ‘cool’ is important to them. For example, When the idea of suing Earth came up, they could careless because a celebrity aka Dolly Parton ‘likes them.’ [Note: once again, they thought it was about them not the shot. One day, the actual Dolly Parton actually followed Moderna[shlorpian] on their twitter because she found it interesting.]. They also have an account on every social media possible. They got popular on Tiktok, however most of their content are videos they filmed of Pfizer when he’s in some strange hilarious predicament due to his actions, all filmed without his knowledge.

AstraZeneca:

Moderna’s best friend.

Johnson & Johnson’s replicant.

Has the nicknames ‘Astra’, ‘Astro’, ‘Ash’, ‘Zen.’, ‘AZ’, and ‘Zeneca.’ Moderna mostly addresses them as ‘Ash’ and ‘Zen’

Calls Johnson & Johnson ‘J.’ They will call them ’Dad’ every once in a while.

As stated before, like Moderna, AstraZeneca didn’t pick a gender ether. They will just wear whatever feels right, and won’t follow gender norms ether.

Despite being Johnson & Johnson’s replicant, they aren’t much alike. [Unlike Pfizer and Moderna.] The only things J&J and Astra have in common are a love of science, and will try to get others to think things over if it sounds impulsive. [AZ does this mainly with Moderna to try to prevent them from getting into a crazy situation. Moderna tries to get AZ to crazy things with them. Even though, AZ has some wild antics of their own.] They often find J&J to be ‘boring’, but they still love them. After all, he’s their ‘father.’

They’re rebellious, and sneaky. They’re not afraid to mess with Humans [Which Johnson & Johnson isn’t fond of them doing when he finds out and gently tries to encourage them not to do that ] but they never hurt them. They just like to mess with their heads. For Example: they managed to convince people they were the head and true founder of ‘AstraZeneca’, because they thought it would be funny and people didn’t question it. They gave employees silly tasks. They didn’t care too much about suing Earth but they have nothing against doing it.

They go to Pfizer a lot if they want to do something that might require permission because, though they love J&J, they don’t want to sit through a long lecture about how they should think things through or go through with doing it with Johnson & Johnson. And Pfizer lets them get away with more things.

—

That’s all I got. I’m going to refine this and develop the replicants a little more. Most of this post was from dreams. I hope you enjoyed this.

Will draw out these guys later.

[according-to-shlorp]

A similarity got you into solar opposites? What do you mean?

Basically, Solar Opposites and my comic had some similarities. I found out about Solar Opposites half on my own and half through a friend in the industry who i also told my comic idea about and they knew of it for years, told me to ‘keep an eye on it.’ [Even if I do keep an eye on this show and this was ripped off. nothing can be done.] Similar in some ways. This friend thought maybe the Adult Swim person sold off my idea. It happens in the industry. At first, somewhat believable [though I never had that thought in my head. I went into watching SO with an open mind.] that they could’ve met Justin and Mike and said ’here's an idea.’ And maybe they’re getting some kick back. [Mike and Justin don‘t strike me as ‘idea buyers’ though.] Especially since my contact with that person got weird at a point. And they knew of this from 2015. Wasn’t till 2016 they were all ‘You gotta pitch this thing.’ In the end, extensive research on Solar Opposites and I can tell from watching the thing, these are different shows. I don’t see a singlemoment in Solar Opposites that screams ‘there was influence.’ I respect the show and team working on it. A strange coincidence.

The similarities are:

4 main characters, though I’d say Solar Opposites has 5, when you count the Pupa. My show would be 6 but I’m not counting 2 characters because one is a pet that’s literary a green dog [It’s a ‘Space Dog’]. The other complicated but not much of a presence. However, I did have an idea later on this character would be more.

A family. 2 adult , 2 teenaged children. *Difference: The adults are a husband and wife space alien team and their kids are adopted. A MAJOR TWIST WITH WHAT THE KIDS ARE.

Main characters on Earth but, unlike the Shlorpians we know and love, these 4 are purposely on Earth. The kids are ones who aren’t crazy about Earth, parents? Like it and know quite a bit about it. They blend in fine.

One of the aliens, wife is blue.  To be honest a character the same colour doesn’t set off anything for me but to my friend it did for some reason. But, the wife’s design I got inspiration from the Diva, a character in the movie The Fifth Element.  [One of my favourite movies by the way, i’ve made reference to it in this comic. Her and Korvo look nothing alike. Looking back at her design however, she reminds me a tiny bit of Keara from Rick and Morty. Just not in a Rick and Morty style lol. I’m close to tweaking her desig.]

I’m being vague. I don’t want to give too much away, unless i post it, for certain reasons. But like I said, these really are different shows. Trust me here. And I’m glad Solar Opposites exist. Honestly, it does so much. More than I could’ve got away with. Gives me a new escape. After watching first episode I literally fell in love with this.

If anything my situation is like You Animal vs BoJack Horseman. Similar ideas just happened.

[sluttyspiderkinnie]

Also! I feel like there was serious corporal punishment and/or imprisonment or even execution on Shlorp if you refused to conform, since that’s the biggest emphasis we’ve seen on what’s an extremely important Shlorpian value. So the other theory I’d be willing to accept is that Terry did this because he was assigned to since there’s still no sense of free will without awful painful or lethal punishment. There’s just absolutely nothing canonically provided to convince me that he would’ve gone along with this unless he was going to be hurt or killed.

Also because I’ve been talking so much recently about deeper analysis of characters and my begging for more background about pre-mission lives on Shlorp, I’d like to point out that it’s totally fair of Korvo to be frustrated that Terry really doesn’t care about the mission and doesn’t know what he’s talking about when he’s supposed to be an expert on the pupa. But I also speculate/headcanon that Terry cheated and lied his way into even getting a mission because if he didn’t he would’ve been left to die. Either that or something just bad was gonna happen to him. What I’ve been imagining is that when Shlorp blew up, they left a lot of Shlorpians to die if they didn’t think they’d be beneficial to creating a new and even further advanced society for Shlorp 2.0. I just don’t think that Terry would’ve even put in the effort to do all of that unless there was a serious motive to. And I think if he actually disclosed literally any of that to Korvo then he’d be way more understanding and patient w Terry. But also he’d still be like pls help me I get it but this still sucks for me because I feel duped and being lied to abt what I was going into is not fair to me. I am beggingggggg for context about this.
