I'm Billie. This is a solarballs blog. I have nothing much to say about myself.
I like cake
The thought of genuinely being in a romantic relationship make me want to kick the hypothetical situation in the balls
I like Titan. He's cool
The worst arc in Solarballs is Theia's. You can't change my mind. I'm too far gone, cuz there is no level of convincing to make me like the most dragging, agonizing, point of the series.

Summary: they keep breaking or forcing their own rules for plot convenience.
It seems like they keep going "okay, so we've presented this as a problem before but actually we need this to happen so it isn't now" or "Plot twist! This is a problem now because we want to raise the stakes" and then ignoring it when the moment has passed.
Full explanation below:
Back when it was just funny educational videos, they kept breaking the laws of physics and that was okay because the worldbuilding dictated they didn't apply, or at least not all of them (they did say they couldn't get too close to each other or it's a collision and what would happen if the Sun suddenly disappered, among other stuff). The issue came when the show became more plot-driven they started switching what they were able to do or not without solid in-verse justification.
A prime example of that is the speed they can move at. The first time it's brought to attention is during the race against X, when the moons imply that, on their own, their max speed is their orbital speed. Now, however, they are moving faster than light speed. The explanation seems to be "they didn't know and didn't need to, so they didn't try", which seems cheap. Are you really telling me that X broke that in-verse rule (and the laws of physics) because he wanted to leave the SS faster, but he didn't try to when Metis passed him during the race? It would have been a way better explanation saying that it has to do with the Sun's gravity weighing them down or something, but it's never stated or even explored.
Then, there's also Earth's restrictions. What do you mean he had the whole thing with heading to the Sun, but then in the SS trials he seems fine? Sure, it could be a "can stand it for a while but not permanently" kind of thing (which I'm not sure he'd risk without complaining, anyway) or even that he is in his orbit but it looks weird, but then you also have the axis thing. It has been established from the start that he needs someone helping with his axis, but then he just suddenly learns to do it on his own??? Without any effort shown? After billions of years of that "struggle" persisting?
To me, those changes of logic come so out-of-the blue that they break the immersion and make the watcher feel lied to because they present something as a big issue and then move on like it was nothing. Also, it makes it hard to write for this fandom if you want to follow canon.
I find it ridiculously funny whenever i find tuna hate on your page but help why do you hate it so much? (the ship, not the fish)
Genuinely, I hope you do not mean to ask this in a Discourse Way and that you mean it in an actual curious way
*Heavy sigh* Time to finally get publicly executed by the fandom, I guess đđ
I wouldnât say I hate it, I justâŚI have trauma
Uhhh, below the cut so T//na enjoyers arenât condemned to this. PLEASE do not start any shipping wars or discourse. This is a personal explanation for why I prefer keeping T//na as far away from me as I can and why I had to filter out so many tags used for it TvT đ
Well, for one, I donât get it at all. :/ I never once saw anything between them, maybe itâs because Luna is my favorite character and I fucking hated Titan when he was first introduced (I donât hate him anymore, I just love roasting him snksmskaka <3 ) bc it filled me with indescribable rage to see the way he treated Luna! (At the time though, I just thought maybe Iâm too Aroace for this particular ship, which is why I have that one Luna doodle that says âIâm too Aromantic for this shitâ)
I had no idea people shipped them until I started watching Gacha reactions vids and the first one I watched with the moons had them as a ship which made me raise an eyebrow because ?????? Like what??? It also had Luna as a girl and made Luna super soft and out of character which was weird to me but I shrugged and kept watching other vids ONLY TO FIND THAT APPARENTLY EVERYONE WAS SHIPPING THEM??? So again, I heavily sighed and tried not to pay much attention to it, I bit my tongue and tried to at least tolerate it bc itâs a popular ship and literally almost every fic with Luna was shipping them together :/
What annoyed me most was how everyone made them act super out of character that it got on my nerves as a Luna fan. For some bizarre reason a lot of ppl who shipped them also made Luna into a Stereotypical Omega femboy whose only personality is Titan, and then made Titan an alpha male who is overprotective of Luna (I have a whole post listing all the shit Luna has done in this show that counters the claim that he is âSoftâ) But again, I bit my tongue and tried as hard as I could to tolerate it at least
And then, there was an artist (Who shall not be namedâŚThis person is on youtube and tiktok, not here though) who ended up making me now have Horrible Anxiety reactions to the ship. So, this person not only characterized them as stereotypical Omega Luna who only cares about Titan, they also made literally the worst version of Titan ever that has me wanting to hug Canon Titan protectively. This person made Titan beyond Marinette Dupain-Cheng level creepy đľâđŤ Not only that, but she has a lot of drawings of Titan borderline SAing Luna (Luna in these images is actively screaming no and telling Titan to get off him, and constantly has to have Dark side punch him so he stops) Not only that, but for some reason only Earth and Mars have an issue with that! Only Earth is constantly saying he doesnât want Titan near Luna (This ended up changing -_-) and Mars in one of them even asked Venus âShould we make sure Titan isnât doing anything inappropriate to Luna?â And Venus responds with no. (???!??!!!???? WHY???) It still gets worse đ (The planets are portrayed as adults while moons are more mentally like teenagers) She makes Saturn weirdly obsessed with them being a couple and having a baby (And portrays Luna as Saturnâs kid for some reason???) And I remember her saying once how âSaturn likes to send Titan into the locker room while Luna is changing, and then Titanâs friend wakes upâ <-đ¤˘đ¤˘đ¤˘ And then she also later aged them up to being adults so that she could make sexual jokes about them. She also hypersexualizes Earth and makes his only personality being Venus and Marsâ boyfriend
Itâs a shame, her art was really pretty too :â( Now I canât even look at her old stuff without that icky feeling. I canât even tolerate T//na anymore! Even sfw work of them as a ship makes me feel like Iâm gonna have a panic attack đ
So, to sum it up.
I tried to keep an open mind about the ship for about a year or two despite not enjoying it, I got traumatized horribly which led to me developing my first ever Notp, every now and then I accidentally catch a glimpse of that ship and have to prevent an Anxiety Attack from starting, I canât tolerate seeing it anymore even though I want to
Iâve tried using exposure therapy for it, but I think that made it worse :|
Sooo, for my own mental health, I try my best to avoid it without making it anyone elseâs problem. Thatâs why I usually avoid using maintags for my rants and turn off reblogs (Learned that the hard way, some jackass reblogged those posts even though I said not to and didnât take them down after I politely asked to delete it, so I had to delete it myself but I think ppl can still see it đ)

Hello again! Here are a few crumbs of what I've been working on lately, just so I don't let this account go completely dead. I hope you guys don't think I'm obsessed with this characte
In fact, I have several plans to make.
Just in case anyone asks: some of these drawings were done on different days. I mention this because of the shift in style I'm currently undergoingâfor instance, drawings 7, 2, and 3 are a bit older, while the others are recent. That said, I just can't seem to give up the white backgroundsâgood grief! I really need to improve in that area.
idk this is all I think of when I see earths apology.
TBH I donât think earth shouldâve made that public apologyâAND DONT GET ME WRONG. what he said was bad. and if anything he shouldâve just went to Titan 1 on 1 instead of doing that whole thing because even after that the whole server jumped him anyways.
Titan got his feelings hurt, then. told Ganymede & Europa who told EVERYBODY. They remind me of those girls in high school who spread rumors faster than they can spell their names
atp they shouldâve just added earth to a gc named talking and do everything there PFFT
donât take this as slander or anything đ it was just a thought. and I love all of these guysâŚeven if sometimes they do tomfoolery that makes me wonder đĽš
Great catch there pal. Venus's design is based off of the underfell Sans 100%. His choker is also based off the widely depicted color for Warrior Cats Scourge's collar. Two edgy characters I like. I really wanted this Venus to give Vietnam flash backs to old fandom dwellers

Titan's admiration for Earth must come from the fact he can sustain life. That can be supported on how he responded to Luna when he asked if he were interested in Earth in âThe Moon Meets Titanâ. Earth's sustainability for life is the driving ideal for the moon's belief that if they could have life as well, they should be treated equally to the planets. I think I understand why life is important to the moon's perception of what makes a celestial body important. It's because the gas giants play favorites and the moons know their favorite is Earth. The moons must think the reason the planets adore Earth is due to his liveable conditions. I already heavily expect that Saturn's favoritism for Titan is because he's the most like Earth. Titan may resemble the Earth, but somewhat recently Titan found out that he has the possibility for life. All he knows right now is that he has the possibility of life, he doesnât have the definitive truth. However, the possible revelation is so grand to them, they felt driven enough to start something like the Moon revolution. The ability to sustain life is important to them because they believe they could receive a sense of respect and adoration, like they believe the Earth has.
So Titan, in some capacity, must think his planet's favoritism is influenced by his similarities to Earth. Not because of any of Titan's own unique features or even personality. In that case Titan could be under the impression Saturn mainly sees him as being artificial to Earth. So Titan probably thought that Earth was someone he needed to be for Saturn to see as his own person, contradictory as it may sound. It just doesn't make sense for Titan to find Earth appealing. Especially since the planet is widely known as a spoiled brat and disrespectful to his own moon. It contradicts Titan's ideal that moons should be treated equal and planets should respect their moons, because supposedly Titan also wanted to be like Earth. I can reasonably infer that perhaps his admiration stems from envy for the lively planet and his obsession blinded his morality. Drawn to a fantasy that the planets could adore the moons just like they adore the Earth. He might've wished to be genuinely cherished and regarded with respect unconditionally. But, the closest he probably felt that way is when compared to the assumed favorite of the planets.
There are implications that suggest Titan is happy he has life, but likely doesnât fully understand the responsibility and stress to sustain creatures so small. Titan wanted to be the Earth not just because he has life though. By that I mean, when he learned he possibly has life he moves around as if he doesnât need to be careful. Thereâs no way heâs completely oblivious of the fragility of life when he knew a few asteroids were capable of mass extinction. Though these characters' stupidity do sometimes surprise me, and it might come to bite me in the ass later to believe in his intelligence. I do think Titanâs real interest for life was more about getting everyone to notice the moonsâ potential. Life as something to cherish and care for as its sole supporter didnât seem to be Titanâs priority when he found out he had life. An oversight the moons mightâve failed to put together was, possibly, one of the reasons Earth was pampered. One of those reasons could have been due to his practical inability to do anything the other planets could do without it being catastrophic. Earth needs a lot of help because sustaining life is hard, but Titan probably saw it as Earth can get away with almost anything because the planets think life is cool so he gets a pass.
He may have saw Earth probably receive all that praise from the planets with little competition, regardless of his ill-mannered behavior to everyone around him because he can sustain life. Titan probably feels insecure about being viewed as an earth-like doll and was desperate to prove his legitimacy. So, he used life as a stepping stone for approval; so moons could be treated as equals. Titan saw life as a path for the planets to finally respect him as his own independent individual. However, it's ironic that Titan wanted to be like Earth. He might've believed him to be this free and respected individual when in truth, Earth is the most dependant character, and he's probably three individuals sharing one vessel. Luna is two people in one body; a reminder that Earth and Luna are weird. Anyways, Titan yearned for the planets to care about the moons like the Earth, instead of objects they could flaunt to others only to be forgotten because they aren't noticeable. hypocritically, Titan had planned to use life as an accessory, but that idea was buried with a ploy to seek revenge. He opted that moons didn't need to build themselves up but tear the presumed favorite planet down. Doing so by destroying Earthâs life. He would further insult life's existence by discarding it once it no longer had relevance to (the plot) induce the planetsâ attention. On a smaller scale Titan is doing what he felt like the planets were doing to them. Ultimately, life is forgotten once other alternatives for approval are brought up. Titan had belittled and objectified life, and assumed life is an asset that builds up the sustainer's social rank. Similar to how the planets objectified the moons and bragged about having them, but they often forget their moons' existence because they barely affected them. Titan probably doesn't understand the balance and sacrifice that life needs to stay alive. Instead his actions are similar to that who he accused of neglect and disrespect.
Titan's aspirations for life is simplistic. He overlooked some major agency for why it's highly regarded. Viewing life as a beneficiary so their planet would pay attention to them.
I'm gonna say this because I'm tired. What did they do with Titan in SolarBalls? They introduced him, gave him a couple minutes of glory, hinted that he had potential... and then they erased him from the map. His development was so poor I can't even call it development. It was more like a sketch, an idea they never finished.
The character needs an episode where he actually evolves. Where we see him face his fears, make decisions, change. No more pointless cameos. No more "oh yeah Titan exists" every 20 episodes.
And I see no one talks about this: okay, Titan treated other characters badly. He kidnapped Astrodude, he was in the Lunar Revolution, etc. But that's exactly why they could give him a redemption episode where he learns from his mistakes again... if he even learned anything, because honestly you can't tell. But no. He's just there in the background or has few lines.
And what makes me even more angry? I suspect they keep him like that on purpose so "Titan haters don't get frustrated". Like they care. Instead of giving him a well-written arc where he redeems himself, they'd rather keep him frozen. No purpose. Just to not upset a group of fans. That's lazy and cowardly.
But whatever. He ended up being a background character. A decoration. And you can tell they're not even trying anymore. If you don't care about the character, just say it. But no. They'd rather leave him there doing nothing while others take all the spotlight.
It's frustrating because Titan could give so much more. He needs a redemption episode where he faces his mistakes and truly learns.
What do you guys think? Do you think Titan needs a redemption arc or is it over for him?
