My Major Arcana card for the RTC Tarot collab!

Count Dogulous and the King of Zolar himself, Bowie Galaxycat (who hasn't even been in the comics yet O_O)

I am also taking this as an opportunity to dump my own Zolarian headcanons and lore because I'm insane.

My Zolarians are all very 80s glamrock/synthwave inspired with a touch of Lisa Frank stickers and plenty of cheesy sci-fi vibes. They average between 7 to 9 feet tall and come in all colours and patterns you can imagine. They also have tails like lions with the little poof at the end cause that's adorable. Ricky gives them all either a first or last name from a famous scientist, politician, musician, or something else spacy and neat and whatever their other name is is usually a reference to a movie/song or sounds like a Warrior cat (he reads Warriors and you can't convince me otherwise)

Now, the war LOREEEEE (this is long I apologize)

Kae Nyne (not how it's spelled in the script but it sounds more like a planet spelled like that) is a planet in the Zolarian Star Cluster, in other words it's in the Galaxy that has been space colonized by Zolar. Zolar didn't do any crazy genocide crap or anything, but they've established their own sort of supreme governing body that oversees all their occupied territories. As this is how it's been for a very long time, Zolar feels entitled to these planets and would like to keep them under their thumb.

Insert Damon Dunaway Dogulous. His father was the Count of Kae Nyne before him, but his untimely death made Damon the new Count at a young age. He's much younger than any other governing body in the Star Cluster at 150 years old (equivalent to being late teens by his kind).

Dogulous thinks it's ridiculous that he has to ask permission from creatures with lifespans a third as long as his that are three solar systems away before he can make any decisions for the planet he governs. He tried to bring up the idea of Kae Nyne's independence with the King of Zolar, Bowie Galaxycat, but he basically laughed in the Count's face and told him that even if he was willing to lose territory that Zolar has overseen for millenia, Dogulous is too young of a Kae Nynian to be trusted with a planet.

Dogulous of course didn't take well to that and, being ambitious, impulsive, and insulted that a cat younger than him basically called him a stupid child, declared that Kae Nyne was independent whether the King liked it or not. If they had a problem, they could take it up with his army.

So, Zolar did.

Dogulous tried to stick to just defense. He only wanted to tire out the Zolarian forces so they could be independent, but it wasn't enough. Plus, Zolar has started looking for a 'chosen one' who has the power to stop the war. Afraid for the lives of his people and frustrated with his inability to stop Zolar, he's finally preparing a full scale invasion attempt on Zolar.

There's more but I'm making a comic about it so I can't spoil EVERYTHING.

Maybe this is more Ricky adjacent than a Ricky specific question, but any headcanons for the Zolarians? I grew up on Doctor Who and my alien loving heart has gone far too deep into my own version of the Zolarian lore, I need to know other people's takes

Ricky is. . . .. . much more imaginative than myself so I don't have a lot but I can tell you what I have pictured in my head

Ricky is definitely influenced a lot by Star Trek and I envision them wearing colorful clothing with 80s/90s aesthetics like we see in TNG and DS9 and such

They come in all different shapes, sizes, colors and fur textures like actual cats but their eyes are like. Bright, saturated jewel tone colors. The characters in the stories he writes are inspired by his actual cats

I gotta step up my game lmaoooooo I've not really thought of very much but his story within the story is very important, one of these days I'll sit down and let my imagination run wild and let y'all know what I come up with lol

Ride the Cyclober Day 21 - Psychological horror

What if Noel, Ricky and Ezra made a movie together?

I would lowkey watch it

@ride-the-cyclober

[get-them-out-of-my-skull-0914]

Ride The Cyclone but it’s things my religion teacher has said (I go to a catholic school lol)

In the 2016 pro shot I think Ricky says “the holy daughters” instead of “the naughty daughters” so yeah

And also the second one is more obvious if you’ve listened to Play To Win (Ocean’s og song)

More to come probably, this teacher says a lot of interesting things

[deerdoeb]

Life would be better if I was a sexy cat woman from Zolar fr fr

[average-emo-enigma]

Me explaining rtc to someone who’s never seen it: Yeah we don’t need to talk about the sexy cat women from Zolar —

[ari-the-silly]

I JUST THOUGHT FO THIS BUT WHAT IF RICKY USES ZOLAR IN LIKE SAYINGS YK?

Like... "Thank Zolar I passed that test" (instead of Thank God)

"For zolar's sake" (instead of For God's sake)

"Zolar!" (instead of Jesus)

[yaakata]

i feel like ricky is like lanky as shit but secretly actually pretty strong, cause aint no way are gonna be using crutches and/or a wheelchair basically your entire life, carrying all your weight, and not building up something.

like, by something i mean ultra sleeper build, maybe not regular athletic teenager strong but DEFF stronger than anyone would ever think.

RTC October Day 4 - Zolarian

If y'all have read any of Legend of the Space Age Bachelor Man (found under #zolar comic on my blog, shameless self-plug), you know I was excited for this prompt.

Click for better quality, of course.

It was hard to pick which of my Zolarians to do, but I figured the cat boy leading in abducting Ricky was a solid choice.

Just an friendly reminder that Ricky and Constance used to have a dance battle

ZOLAR AU IN 2024?????

More likely than you think.

In any other fandom, creating an au where they're all from a catboy planet would be insanity but RTC is built different so I presend to you, Zolar au.

There's PLENTY of lore to it, made up by myself and @Kurts_lament (on instagram) so idk if anyone wants more deets, I am happy to oblige.

[rtc-confessions]

i genuinely like zolar lore like i WANT to know more about it i dont like it i LOVE IT invest in zolar lore
