My fave solarbros... putting them in the blender

Old doodle :]

this is just a stupid theory abt earth and luna (and theia)’s relation to each other, there’s three main gods in Hindu mythology- the creator, preserver, and destroyer

I think earth could be the creator (because obviously, he created life). And it makes sense for Luna to be earths counterpart, destroyer, but i feel like he fits the preserver more. Like, his whole ‘job’ is to balance earths axis and protect ( preserve) earths creations from asteroids Idk if Theia could be seen as the destroyer, but… she is associated with destruction?

or maybe im js going insane over them idk

After some video binging and Wikipedia reading, I'd like to add and make adjustments to your theory. Out of all the things I'd hope Solarballs wouldn't make reference to, it would be Hindu mythology. Due to my unfamiliarity with the whole thing and the complexity of Hindu cosmetology. I'm going to go on a little rant, I'm already trying to warp my head around the concept of Yin and Yang. Also, I'm trying to brush off my understanding of the Book of Genesis because of the reference to "two became one". But thankfully, most religions follow a similar concept of creation and the following destruction. If we want to parallel the Hindu Trinity to Solarballs we need to apply the proper roles that suit the characters best.

Let's start with the Sun as Brahma who represents the creation. Apparently, after Brahma created everything, his role was diminished because there was no need to continue creating after everything had been placed. It was expected that everything would find its place eventually. Just like how the Sun stays in the center of the solar system and the rest of the celestial bodies, after accumulating from the Sun's dust, had found a place within it.

This is when preservation comes in. Vishnu represents the concept of preservation and his job was to protect creation and create balance. This is why I believe Jupiter would fit that role best, as he is the protector of the Rockies and he helps balance the solar system. To be frank, I think he's mostly motivated because of the Earthlings.

Now, the last one is the destroyer, or Shiva, which I think Earth fits a little too well in contrast. The god's role was to destroy creation but paved way for new creation. The Earth is in a constant state of change and is currently going through a mass extinction. Moreover, the things he said in his therapy session were interesting. Along the lines of saying he's willing to start over if humanity doesn't get better but admitting he still has hope. To showcase that Earth represents the destroyer then look no further than his own creation and the constant looming presence of crisis he's always in.

To include Theia in the Trinity she might fit Shakti, the counterpart of Shiva. The personification of femininity and the energy of creation. I believe Shiva had split himself in two to mold the universe and needed to make a more feminine aspect of it. Later, after the goddess was done, she was reborn as a mortal to rebuild karma. She eventually found Shiva again, and they became one as husband and wife. Unfortunately, she died, and Shiva got really mad. Then he went on a rampage and cut off someone's head but replaced it with a goat's after cooling down. Shiva would then remain without his other half as he sat in spiritual solitude. Fortunately, Shakti was reincarnated as Parvati, Mother Goddess, Goddess of Power, Nourishment, Devotion, Motherhood, Fertility, and Harmony, according to the wiki. I believe Luna would fit that description because he's the Moon. The Moon has mainly been associated with women. Plus that whole planet Colliding and being created from the ashes like a phoenix makes it seem like Luna is the rebirth of Theia (or Proto).

Anyway, I kinda went a little overboard there. I think it's cool you drew this parallel, and I love to see how wild a theory can be. If you have your own elaboration please share. Also love your Vercury fanart.♥️

This new arc honestly feels like it's trying to replicate the success of the "Earth Alone" arc without understanding what made that arc work

The Earth Alone arc was received well because it was both well written and IN CHARACTER for everybody involved. The characters drove that entire arc and showed their sides, it's why the arc is so beloved.

But it seems like the solarballs team didn't understand why people liked the arc. People liked the character building, but the team thought people only liked it because "sad angsty boy Earth". They're trying to replicate that part, but completely miss out on the delicate character writing, which falls flat because the Earth Alone arc was BUILT on the character writing.

tldr solarballs please understand why people actually liked ur arcs. Earth Alone was not just popular because of mentally ill Earth PLEASEE
