Hiii Space!!
I love love love your planet personifications and I was wondering what the lore surrounding moons and other celestial objects (asteroids, comets, etc) is in your Milky Way fandom?? And also also are you comfortable with people making fan characters/oc’s for your Milky Way fandom creation?? (These two questions do actually go hand in hand, I promise haha!!)

howdy!
i've actually designed a lot of other objects, include moons, stars, nebulas, etc. i thinnnnk the current count is around 55 characters.
now moons are pretty diverse. the main thing that classifies them as "moons" is just the fact that they orbit a planet (or a dwarf planet or even an asteroid). bc of this, my moon characters as just as diverse. all of the major ones are humanoids (titan, luna, ganymede, europa, etc.) while most of the smaller ones are personified as animals that the planet associates with (mars has two dogs, jupiter has birds, saturn has reptiles, uranus has rodents/bunnies, neptune has fish/amphibians, and pluto has cats). there are a few exceptions tho (like jupiter's inner 4 moons are very small in size, but are personified as little girls). don't have too many good drawings of them, but here's titan, luna, and ganymede!
the relationship a moon will have with their planet also varies. for jupiter moons, its more familial. for earth and luna, they're very close friends. for saturn moons, the relationship is a little more professional. etc. etc.
as for asteroids, they kinda follow similar rules to moons on if they're a humanoid, and smaller asteroids will be animals or monsters. they kinda just vibe in the solar system lmao. the asteroid belt is led by ceres, the "queen of the asteroid belt". she has a big rivalry with jupiter, who tends to bully her asteroids lmao.
comets are similar again. however i kinda always picture them as shitty lil dardevils who swing by the sun just to hurl insults at him hheheheh. living life on the edge.
god i realized ive written so much and i havent even gotten to stars or nebulas yet adghjgasdh uhhhhhhhh
stars are very fun. they all kinda look like sol but with different colors depending on what kind of light they give off (more red, more blue, etc). theyre kinda the "main" population in the universe and are all weird lil guys. in contrast to planets, the follow pretty strict life cycles, turning into red giants when they get old and exploding, with their corpse then turning into a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole. i tend to picture planets as the most "human" of the personifications, so stars can be kinda weird and a lil more eldritch.
i'll leave nebulas for later lmao, but thats the basic stuff with my little space ocs!
if you do want to make ocs in my little world (been thinking of naming it something like "geocentric" since earth is the main character lmao), go ahead, have fun! just make sure to link back to me. but of course, the milky way fandom is fairly big with a lot of folks making their own interpretations of the planets, so if ya instead wanna make your own thing outside of my oc world, go nuts!
