It's finally hereeeeee!

In the Eye of the Beholder

And while I can't draw I think that fact would be really fun to incorporate into an Earth design.

Here's the thing that Solarballs gets wrong about Earth: the Sun's solar flares can't hurt Earth. His magnetic field and atmosphere are too strong to let anything harm his life. The plot point in the Planet Revolution about the Sun being afraid to flare the Earth is incorrect - the Sun can't hurt Earth, and he's the only one amongst the Rockies who can protect himself. Even Venus, with his induced magnetosphere (born from his upper atmosphere) experiences significant atmospheric loss to coronal mass ejections.

This is something I'm planning to include in my AU, because it's so contradictory to Earth's typical "super fragile can't be touched" reputation. He is weak to asteroids, but unlike the other Rockies he's not weak to the Sun!

Something something the eyes are the only living tissue you see when looking at a human so when you look at a planet the eyes represent their interiors.

EARTH ANIMATIOONN TIME TO NEVER ANIMATE FOR THE NEXT FOREVA

Most alleged one-shots that supposedly cap out at 5k words are only a couple weeks old or severely malnourished, and once they start receiving proper care and writing sessions, they'll blow up to 25k, 50k, or often even 100k or more. This is perfectly normal and the size they were always meant to be!

But sadly, many writers don't have space in their homes & lives for such a long fic, which is why it's a shame they're often presented as one-shots.

(Finallyyyyyyyyyy)

Procrastinated for a whole month because it just didn't look good enough but whateverrrrr "( – ⌓ – )

It's a little hard to explain, but it started with the concept that the celestials couldn't take human forms until the humans came along. Taking that idea to the extreme, celestials existed as primordial beings but hardly had the capability for anything (no emotions, no senses, hardly any thoughts) until Life started advancing and gaining those capabilities on Earth's surface. The fic is basically Earth very slowly gaining sentience alongside his Life and learning to experience the universe around him - then sharing that evolution with the rest of the solar system!

I'll probably share more snippets as I write (much to my chagrin, writing a fic that's very research-intensive when you're very busy is slow), but here's a clip from the beginning!
