Ah yes. Make that shit melt.

He is a Lunar.

He's got family issues.

He is getting a character getting emotionally tormented for the sake of plot.

Hi flight tumblr. How we feelin.

Well, so, I went absolutely crazy during the last stream. I really wanna see what happens next aaaaaaaaaa. I was thinking of a few scenes and just had to make this a series. Graecie is in her Snow White arc and Legs might be making more bad decisions. Doom, doom all around. But good, I like doom.

I went straight into the first two illustrations with absolutely no sketch, just vibes. I did all of them in grayscale, then played around with some values for gradient maps. Might do it again, might not. I worked really well for the second illustration, but was kinda annoying in the last. Alltogether It took me eee about 10 hours.

Your local fanartist is doing illustrations instead of finishing their thesis, due today btw

I think that Lunar owes Dazzle an apology and also that Earth and Mars owe Lunar an apology.

Lunar is grieving and is really stressed right now, but that's no excuse for him to just start lashing out and yelling at people. Also even if Dazzle is a spy for President Earth, she's still just a child and she didn't deserve to get yelled at.

And I just rewatched the buildup to yesterday's episode to make sure, Lunar didn't even say anything too bad. He was a bit blunt about Comedy Bot and implied that Dazzle put something on the plushies, but the things he said about Comedy Bot, while harsh, are technically true. The closest thing to even "Lashing out" he did was when he yelled at Dazzle. At worst, his comments in that episode were rude and a little bit backhanded. Mostly Lunar just seems not like his usual self. He's more subdued. He's not cracking jokes, just making snarky comments. Earth and Mars probably should've checked in with him and asked him why he's acting like this and if he's doing okay. But instead, Mars just kind of... lashed out at him. Lunar's behavior needed to be checked, but I think the way Mars did it was a bit too harsh at best and just isolating Lunar further at worst.

And I'm sorry, I love Earth, I really do. But she was kind of a doormat in that episode. It feels like she was just sitting on the fence the whole time and then towards the end, starting to slowly lean towards Mars' side in this thing. "You're kind of pushing everybody away right now." And you think telling him to leave everybody else alone if he's not acting like his regular self is going to improve that? Wow, good job Earth. Really being there for your best friend there. Lunar's pushing everybody away, so you're telling him to leave so he doesn't have to! Cause if he thinks you don't care about him, then he'll definitely come to you for help! Like girl, did you lose your backbone in the laundry or something?

And then they both have the audacity to be surprised when Lunar just walks away after that because what else do you do when your best friend agrees with her brother telling you to leave everyone else alone because you're greiving?

"I don't know how to help with this situation either." Fucking clearly. I think a cinderblock would've handled this situation better than you did, Mars. Lunar is clearly grieving and not his usual self and instead of just pulling him aside and talking to him and asking him what's wrong and how you can help, you talk down to him like he's a child throwing a tantrum and basically told him to fuck off.

Lunar's not completely in the right and he owes an apology to Dazzle and maybe also Comedy Bot(I say Maybe because Comedy Bot doesn't seem too bothered by the cracks Lunar takes at him until Comedy Bot says the your mom joke). But I think Earth and Mars, especially Mars, owe him an apology for how they talked down to him and told him to go away. They could've handled that so much better and in a way that didn't talk down to Lunar or push him away.
