First time drawing Ikarus and Starhopper again, and it's Starhopper falling in love with a certain lanky pink femme, while Ikarus tries to do damage control.

Grian, Scar, and Pearl as my little alien species

G and Scar are scrappers, and planet hop to find junk and scrap to sell back home. They’re also wanted criminals.

Pearl doesn’t have a job yet, but I’ll add more to this au if I make more of it

@strangler-fish thank u for encouraging me to post this i'm still nervous but here he is anyway

Cringetober Day 24 is MLP. I'm sure it means Gen 4, but honestly, bronies completely ruined that for me, and nearly took the whole thing down with it. I've been collecting these since I was 3, so I drew Starhopper, one of my beloveds, in some glittery paint pen.

I don't feel like scanning, sorry

The most adorable of little bug boys from @strangler-fish's starhopper au! they are the cutest of criminals lol. I was about 2000 words into my fanfic when my writing brain shut down and the art parts took over :D

I headcannon Grian as a former spy for the watchers, which are called the imperial eyes in my story. There are some others, not just the dolls, and watchers are one of them, like primordial gods. Scar busts through his bedroom wall trying to steal an ancient artifact, and Grian, really sick of his line of work, takes Scar up on his offer and travels with him. The watchers are pissed, as Grian is perceived as knowing to many secrets to ever leave them, and both now have bounties on their head. Scar was a fugitive the whole time tho, nothing new there lol

none of this is cannon, just the insane rambles of an insane person :)

MY BELOVED STARHOPPER!!

BUGS!!! (not as many bugs...but still ^^)

3 pictures turned into 1;

(Chez is an angsty little boy, he used to always have somebody to talk to, mostly his siblings but still, now...well...he has friends sure but he still had to spend time alone. Spend time with his own thought...the thoughts he tried so hard to ignore. All this whilst seeing people experience the one thing he had lost so long ago...love) (that's probably atleast kinda cringe but atp I don't really care)

Fern, Orchid and Daisy (Chez's youngest sister) plotting crime

Who's bugs are these????

It's Artfight season again!

I was originally going to just do three of these guys but this whole group has completely derailed my life over the past few months so I ended up making sheets for everyone.

Starhopper Daycare!

Ayo? Food??

(I don't know what I'm doing)

Ao3!!!

[strangler-fish]

Today’s designs: Jimmy, Lizzie, Martyn and Ren :)

I changed my mind from Renwood to Dogwarts- I felt like it fit better with what I had planned

Side note: Jimmy’s extra arm was made by Tango! He’s not naturally very strong, so it helps a lot with any heavy lifting

[i-am-just-a-skeleton]

sooo i very much like @strangler-fish's little Starhopper aliens and, well. you all know me, of course i had to draw little alien versions of Queen

i love these little guys they're so fun to draw

[spyglassrealms]

Well, that's the final nail: all published material for Starhopper Radio is officially inaccurate to Astra Planeta canon. I moved some last things around to make the puzzle pieces fit better and now every place and date mentioned in the four extant episodes of SR (except the Apollo 11 moon landing) are incorrect.

I figured this would happen eventually, which is why I stopped producing episodes. I'll get back to it one day when canon is stable.

Starhopper Cub!

he works as a mechanic for a Torrin he hates. When he isnt busy with his job, he does scientific experiments. He's part of a groop called the Star Stringers, who work to make starhoppers live better lives and become more respected in society. He wants to open his own lab one day and work to discover better fuel sources for space travel. He used to work with Scar, but cut it off right before making himself a new identity to begin his studies so he didn't have a criminal record while going into science. He and Scar ended on good terms though :D

[rozeliyawashereyall]

Yeah, just yeah. This would definitely happen.

Oh, Korey you stupid fucking idiot, I love you.

I might draw this, actually

Calix, hinting: Y'know...if I was to date any of the people here it would definitely be you

Korey, completely oblivious: Awww! I would totally date you too Cal!

Calix: Oh! Well Korey, would yo-

Korey: Love talking to you Cal but I gotta go, no time to talk about hypotheticals when there's real work to be done!

Calix, pretty sure he just got rejected: Oh, alright talk later

•-Later-•

Korey, working with another Bug: Wait...WAS HE GONNA ASK ME OUT???

Bug:...Korey, you're an amazing person but you're kinda stupid-

Korey - @rozeliyawashereyall

Calix - @pinkcocopuff-aqualoid

I was thinking about Bell and Farzala being friends, because they should be, but that line of thought got me wondering about the concept of the Star Hopper Padawan vessel, since it seems like a fair few Padawans were on it (Lula, Farzala, Qort, plus a few recurring background characters - I think between 5-10 Padawans in total?), plus all of their Masters and other Jedi Knight/Master volunteers (Torban, Yoda). This doesn't, by any means, seem like a fringe experience, but also isn't something we hear a lot about with other characters we hear talking about their Padawan experiences (Bell, Reath, Keeve, Vernestra, etc.).

It makes me wonder if there are multiple schools of thought on how to train a Padawan and expose them to the galaxy—it sounds like the Star Hopper missions were very low-stakes until the Nihil forced their hand, since Lula says as much in her monologue. Notably, the Padawans in question seemed to be very well-prepared to deal with their circumstances.

However, Bell and Keeve's points of view tell a different story, with Bell's story in ToLaL going into a mission where Loden (from Bell's point of view) left them without comms on a hostile world for months, where citizens had intent to kill them. This did not seem like an infrequent thing with Bell and Loden, based on their dynamic in LotJ. Similarly, though we don't know how many practical missions Keeve and Sskeer went on, Keeve reminisces that she'd been on missions before she was a Knight (except that her first as a Knight is different given her level of responsibility). At least one of her and Sskeer's training missions had some level of danger, though it was helping with a natural disaster, and not leveled against a particular enemy.

Reath is different than all of the above, as he was mostly sequestered in the Temple until the events of Into the Dark, neither going on missions until that point, or doing so in an environment like the Star Hopper Padawans.

The fact that the Padawan training vessel method seems common, but not universal, makes me wonder if it's a point of contention among Jedi Masters, who prefer their Padawan's experience to be one-on-one, or if some Masters (like Sskeer and Loden) are off in the galaxy enough to not necessitate going on missions in a more "structured" environment like the Star Hopper, and that's there to make sure that Padawans with less previous experience in the galaxy are equipped to become Knights (it worked for Qort and Farzala!)
