#shlorp

So this summer i really got into Solar Opposites (and now that i've finished it i can confidently say it's one of the BEST cartoons i've ever watched lol) and convinced my bestie @damascus-blade to make shlorpsonas with me. So here's us taking a day off from the mission!!

I'm the one in the black dress (my replicant is going thru their emo phase, just like i did as a teen hahaha) this was sooo much fun to draw and i found the art style super comfy, sooo... who knows, maybe expect more Solar Opposites art in the future? I mean... I do love Tervo so... Go check out my bff's piece too! And give her some love, she's genuinely one of the most talented artists i've ever seen

Like, why was he here at all ? Every other team we saw only had four members. He said he was here to keep balance, which leads me to believe that the Shlorpian government knew that Terry and Korvo (and their replicants) were not fitted for the task, unlike all the other ships.

From what we’ve seen of Shlorp, which isn’t much at all, Terry and Korvo did not fit in their home planet from the beginning. For Terry, obviously we saw him unbutton his robe, come late in class, really just caring about having a good time, not being conform, etc. For Korvo, he was most definitely a work alcoholic in a way that wasn’t really suitable for Shlorp. Speculating here, as we didn’t literally see it in the show, but I think Korvo’s colleagues worked hard and well while also taking breaks, whereas Korvo probably worked all the time (breaks would mean talking with colleagues, and lord knows he sucks at socializing)

As for Jesse and Yumyulack, they were liabilities from the start. Needing someone else to grow properly. Seeing as one of the shlorpians didn’t understand why it was happening, something like this happening was a first - for this specific version of Shlorp anyway.

Which makes me think that the "Elders" put them all together, all of the worst shlorpians, and added their most competent and diligent general/commander to make sure they get the job done. Someone that would remind them every second of every day that they are shlorpians and have a mission. That they’re not here to explore a new planet and discover themselves and each other, but to follow their sole and unique purpose and expand their species.
