Okay this is better

Also Cosmica my beloved

greetings current spg fandom i have a poll formed from curiosity

if u are learning this from my post, you vote the "someone else" option.

I am rly curious just bc despite it feeling like extremely obvious and sense making to me the album itself doesn't ever tell you out right the connection is there, or that there's a concret split timeline, just scatters little hints hither and thither

If I had a nickel for every child of Peter A. Walter II who had a giant, blue-matter-affected spouse, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

The Vice Quadrant for Fanart Friday! The teaser video for the Vice Quadrant is so spooky, I love it even though I got into the band well after the album released

This is my 4th painting inspired by Vice Quadrant, with 2 more currently in progress

Acrylic paint

12x16 inch stretched canvas

wip under the cut

the basic sketch based on the teaser trailer

putting down the first colors to block out the shapes

realized I did a very poor job defining where the helmet begins and space ends

finally adding a little red for the racing stripes and blue for his eyes

consulted my original sketch and the screen shot to get a better idea of shadow placement

switched to slightly different brushes and added in some greys

getting there, right before the scary bit of adding glow and the veins

my reference from the teaser trailor

the full painting on my easel

I love you The Astronaut, I love you Jane Prentiss, I love you being consumed by unearthly love to the point of losing your humanity

uhhhhhhhhhh that vice quadrant thingy you mentioned earlier? idk

YAY OK THIS ONWS GONNA BE . LONG

okay i have 2 explain some stuff first . blue matter is something peter walter 1 discovered , it's very important to the spg universe(s) . it's the thing that powers the robots. it has the capability to open rifts in space and time and it has before .

The thing that starts up the whole story is 2 characters from the becile family (which i havent explained yet) basically kidnapping rabbit to experiment on her blue matter core . 2 other characters (guy hottie(thats his actual name) and peter walter 2) break in to try and stop them, but a blue matter explosion fragments space and time , creating 2 universes . universe prime and universe omega . the explosion also sends a beam of blue matter into space .

universe prime

in universe prime , the blue matter beam hits peter walter the 3rd(refered to as IV from now on)'s space ship . he gets hit directly in the chest , the beam turns him into commander cosmo , granting him superhuman abilities (seen in the song Commander Cosmo) . he saves earth multiple times because hes been basically forced into this superhero role . he gets depressed and decides to trap himself in a star until it kills him . he goes into a rift in space (the achilles rift) and is brought to universe omega . his storyline continues in the universe omega section later dont worry about him for right now

a young peter walter 6 (refered to as VI from now on) starts working on the W.I.N.K project , a satellite built to find habitable planets (seen in Steamjunk) .

22 years later , the robots (the spine , rabbit , hatchworth) find W.I.N.K crashed near walter manor . he tells the robots about the green apple planet he found but lost because the space giant took it . they get VI to turn him into a spaceship and they go back into space to find the planet .

they go into space and find the space giant with the planet . the giant turns out to be a spg fan , they play some songs and he challenges them to a guitar duel , during the duel he just kinda shrinks down . into nothing . they get the planet back , W.I.N.K brings them home but decides to go back and live on the planet .

universe omega

before everything about commander cosmo , in this universe the blue matter beam doesn't hit IV's space ship . it barely misses , the crew starts studying the blue matter , and it leads to a domino effect on earth and humans make insane progress in technology , as seen in the song Progress And Technology (see what i did there. hehe) . the blue matter beam instead hits a russian space probe with human dna on it , creating cosmica/the daughter of space . cosmica finds IV's ship , and accidentally destroys it in her curiousity . she rescues IV from it , he's known as just the astronaut from here . they also fall in love btw theres like 5 love songs in the album abt them

back to commander cosmo . he seals himself in a dying star called the necrostar , accidentally bringing it back to life . just under 100 year timeskip , ravaxis starburner (character that hasnt shown up before hes new . hi rav) blows up the necrostar to free commander cosmo .

the astronaut and cosmica have been destroying moon bases and spaceships together . with help from a space militia , commander cosmo kills the astronaut and gets cosmica to realize Hey you cant let your boything kill people . it ends there but it DOESNT later on a fragment of the necrostar finds the astronaut's corpse and merges with it , creating the necronaut . the album then ends there for real this time . :3

So I was rambling about The Vice Quadrant to @impulsivefanwriter last night and I need to talk about this theory/observation that I’m sure I’m late to the party on-

The Necrostar has something against the Walter Robots, and is trying to eliminate them.

This is a long one so theory under the cut-

Alright, so you know how The Vice Quadrant so intercut with songs about the robots just having fun adventures in space, yeah? Upon an initial listen, these seem just like fun side quests to give the listener a break from the main plot. But, the song “Necrostar” reveals to us that these supposed side quests are anything but unrelated.

Look at these lines from Necrostar and The Space Giant:

These lines reveal to us that, for whatever reason, the Necrostar was deliberately going after the Walter Robots, and has already successfully done so in Universe Omega, and is trying to do so in Universe Prime, but why?

I’ll tell you why.

These two verses tell us what we need to know to piece this puzzle together.

It’s their Blue Matter cores.

For whatever reason, The Necrostar (now Necronaut) is after the robots’ Blue Matter power cores. But, again, that begs the question as to why.

For that, I give you two options:

1. We know the Necrostar is able to consume matter of all colors, “And swallow the red in his core” is telling us that it consumed the Pink/Purple-turned-Red Matter inside of The Astronaut. Combine this with the knowledge of Blue Matter being the most stable of the different colors, it could be a significant power boost for The Necronaut.

Or

2. Somehow, some way, the robots’ cores hold the key to The Necronaut’s defeat. I mean, we’ve seen how powerful blasts of Blue Matter can be. Rabbit’s power core explosion created Universe Omega in the first place, and a separate explosion made Commander Cosmo and The Daughter of Space/Cosmica. So, that in mind, it’s not entirely unreasonable to assume that it could be powerful enough to stop The Necronaut for good.

Or, possibly, secret option 3: It’s a combination of 1 and 2, where The Necronaut wants to kill the Universe Prime automatons in order to prevent his own destruction as well as consume the Blue Matter. (Typing this out it actually seems the most likely to me).

But yeah, if you’ve made it to the end of this post, props to you and thanks for listening to my nonsense! Will any of this turn out to be correct? Ehhhhhhhhh- probably not. But we’ll just have to wait for The Seventh and see! Until then, that’s just a theory! An SPG theory!

[brooklynisher]

You know something that's sad about The Astronaut's death is that he had a change of heart or at least an epiphany after he got hit, but he's done so much damage to the point where they didn't give him a chance of redemption. Though, something tells me that he thought his death WAS his redemption which is depressing.
