The enterprising Eclipses of of Celestial Phenomena, my TSAMS AU over on AO3. Mind the ratings. Spoilers (and alternative shirtless Solar, which bizarrely looks slightly suggestive even though most of the cast are perpetually shirtless anyway) for the characters below.

Left: Eclipse, the OG threat of the Daycare, still alive and kicking and causing problems. Spiteful, wickedly clever and lethal. Complicated relationship with Sunrise.

Right: Solar, the main protagonist of the series (most of it's from his POV). Industrious to a fault and dead set on proving himself useful, no matter what. Modded his own construction to sacrifice speed for power, so he's bigger than the standard model. In love with Sunrise.

They loathe each other with every fibre of their being. Every line of code and filament of wires is dedicated to mutual animosity and venom. They do not get along.

Shirtless Solar behold...

Hypno- Hermit A Day May

howdy!! I have to say, hypno isn't a hermit I'm very familiar with, but i had lots of fun writing him!!

also hypno and wels were roommates their freshman year of college and have continued to live together since then <3 they're best friends <3

---

Hypno gives a quick apologetic smile to the landlord he’s meeting with. “I know you wanted both of us to be here, but Wels had some…family things to deal with.” Read: taking a vacation in Alola, and leaving him to navigate renting an apartment for the year. 

The landlord sighs. “Of course. Can you get him on the phone?”

“I’ll do my best.” He pulls out his phone and opens his texts with Wels.

are you busy

No? Why?

landlord wants to talk to you

????

His phone rings a second later and Hypno answers with a satisfied smile. “Hey.”

“What do you mean the landlord wants to talk to me?”

“I think it’s pretty obvious. Do I really need to clarify?”

Wels makes a frustrated sound on the other end. “Just put me on speaker.”

“Aye aye.” He pulls the phone away from his ear and smiles at the landlord—Charles? Chester?? “I can put him on speaker.”

“Good.”

“Okay, you’re on  speaker.” “Great. Hi, Mr. Adler. I’m so sorry I can’t be there in person. My family needed some help, and I couldn’t say no, of course.”

Mr. Adler (thank you Wels, for being good with names!) looks mollified. “I understand. I just needed to talk to both of you before agreeing to lease to you.”

“Of course,” Hypno agrees. “What did you need to know?”

Mr. Adler walks them through the questions he has, and Hypno lets Wels take the lead on most of them. The apartment they’re trying to rent isn’t the best, but it’s better than their current one, at least. Not that the bar is that high—anything worse would require a shovel so they could crawl under the bar. 

The meeting doesn’t take long, and Mr. Adler shakes his hand. “Have a wonderful day, son.”

“Thank you. You too.” He switches Wels off of speaker after he says a cheerful goodbye, and walks out with the phone pressed to his ear. “That went well.”

“Yeah. He was pretty nice.”

“No idea how you pull that off every time. Pretty sure he’s giving us a deal.”

“Hell yeah. Ah, Mom wants to leave soon. Gem is getting her starter pokemon today.”

“You doing okay with that?”

Wels hums a little. “Mostly. I’m just tired. Ready to come back to Kalos.”

“Only a couple more days, right?”

“Yeah. I fly back on Tuesday.” 

“Just four days.”

“Yep. Well, Mom is getting impatient and I’m sure you have some things to do.”

“Not really. Want to play a game later?”

“Sure. I’ll kick your ass.”

“You can try.” 

“Sure sounds a lot like I’ll succeed.”

“Ha. Better make sure you can back that up. I hope the ceremony goes well.”

Wels sighs. “Me too. I’ll let you know how it goes. See you.”

“Bye.” He hangs up and sits in his car. He can’t help but worry. Wels can handle himself but…well. He doesn’t really talk about why he quit his journey, except for something “big” happening. Hypno starts his car and backs out of his parking spot, unable to shake the worry that clings to him like a fine mist.

But he’ll talk to Wels later, and Wels won’t lie to him about what’s happening. And if he lets him win a few times, he’ll feel better. Hopefully.

arcana 🤝 walnut the crane (may her memory be a blessing): humans are the sexiest birds out there

I took Arcana and Eclipse to my friends' place, with Indie, for the year. Arcana and Eclipse look VERY similar if you don't know what you're looking for. Blackshoulder hens all look almost identical, they're ALL white with brown and black speckles.... you have to look at the tail feather color and overall shade of the speckles to tell color. But they're both purple BS pied, the only difference is that Eclipse is also white eye, but thankfully that means HER tail is white and Arcana's in brown. One of them, I think Arcana, was wearing a legband, idk where Eclipse's went.

But when asked how to tell the difference between them, instead of citing the leg band or the tail feathers, I said, Oh, you'll know. Arcana will be the one propositioning you every day, tripping you by squatting in front of you and generally being a nuisance. Eclipse will be on the far side of the pen going "if you so much as perceive me I will throw myself into this wall to get away from you."

After Eclipse's redemption, how long is it before Eclipse and Shadow start to grow close as brothers, when they're not fighting all the time, and can actually enjoy each other's company? (at least until a certain platypus decides to wreck everything)

I REALLY hope I can word this well bc for some reason the brain isn't braining trying to word this response

I don't have a specific span of time in my head yet, but definitely not a short time. Of course not. These two are very stubborn, after all. Even now they still fight a lot (like siblings do.) But I think it takes a lot of them needing to gain each others trust in multiple aspects, even after Clips been redeemed. Eclipse is still part of the Black Arms, and Shadow is still the killer of the Black Arms. Even after redemption, there's still that little bit of skepticism from the both of them, deep inside.

In my head, I'd like to put them in situations where they need to work together to get things done. Very Sonic comic style. Compare these events to the standard comic arc, if you will. Its difficult for them (especially when all they can do is bicker with each other and usually have VERY different opinions on how things should go,) but EVENTUALLY, even if they still don't get along all the time, trust slowly builds between them. Maybe a little longer, with the addition of them just being around each other, doing other stuff (like their training together, for example,) and maybe...things start to get somewhat better.

Eclipse finally has the brotherly relationship with Shadow he wanted from the start, and while albeit not how he first imagined it, this is pretty nice too. Shadow couldn't have EVER seen himself purposely being around this alien. After a while of really knowing him, maybe he isn't the generalization of the Black Arms Shadow had had in his mind for so long (for the most part...he still has their habits.) Eclipse isn't Black Doom. Both of them are like yeah he's annoying, but having him around isn't the WORST thing in the world I guess...

Its their way of saying "I care about him" without having to actually say it (they never would)

“When you hear Chopin,” Father Damien asserted, “you find yourself traveling into your childhood, then past that, into a time before you were born, when you were nothing, when the only truths you knew were sounds.” “Ayiih! Tell me, does this Chopin know love songs? I have a few I don’t sing unless I mean for sure to capture my woman.” “This Chopin makes songs so beautiful your knees shake. Dogs cry. The trees moan. Your thoughts fly up nowhere. You can’t think. You become flooded in the heart.” “Powerful. Powerful. This Chopin,” asked Nanapush, “does he have a drum?” “No,” said Damien, “he uses a piano.” “That great box in your church,” said Nanapush. “How is this thing made?” Father Damien opened his mouth to say it was constructed of wood, precious woods, but in his mind there formed the image of Agnes’s Caramacchione settled in the bed of the river, unmoved by the rush of water over its keys, and instead he said, “Time.” As soon as he said it, he knew that it was true. “Time. Chopin’s piano was made of time. What is time in Ojibwemowin?” asked Damien. “We see the seasons pass, the moons fatten and go dark, infants grow to old men, but this is not time. We see the water strike against the shore and with each wave we say a moment has passed, but this is not time. Inside, we feel our strength go from a baby’s weakness to a youth’s strength to a man’s endurance to the weakness of a baby again, but this is not time, either, nor are your whiteman’s clocks and bells, nor the sun rising and the sun going down. These things are not time.” “What is it then?” said Father Damien. “I want to know, myself.” “Time is a fish,” said Nanapush slowly, “and all of us are living on the rib of its fin.” Damien stared at him in quizzical fascination and asked what type of fish. “A moving fish that never stops. Sometimes in swimming through the weeds one or another of us will be shaken off time’s fin.” “Into the water?” asked Damien. “No,” said Nanapush, “into something else called not time.” The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse by Louise Erdrich

@theinfamousdoctorf thats what Eclipse Meets His Match does to me all the time

Favourite genres of media include ‘makes me want to lie on the floor’ and ‘have to stop and stare into space about it for a while’ and sometimes both of those as well as ‘has rewired my brain so completely I will think about it every day forever’
