#tsams swift

[storytellingbadger]

Turns out Old Moon and Solar's Sun "Swift" have a lot in common.

Both are back from the dead. Both feel responsible for the devastation and destruction they left behind. Both are a little lost, trying to forge places in a family that went on without them. Both fiercely love their brothers. Both mourn a life that's long behind them.

As it transpires, they also both love numbers and mathematics, and bond over chess and sudoku.

Unexpected besties.

Based on my TSAMS AU Celestial Phenomena over on AO3. Mind the ratings.

I just really really like this little fella,,, puppy dog eyes

Lil guy by @storytellingbadger !!

[glittercatsandtaylorswift]

And I just wanted you to know

✨I’m falling in love again✨

Might as well be drunk in love

[bluemoon1331]

It's really fun thinking about Rosewood and how fast the romance explodes between the princess and Blood Moon.

Like, these are two characters who are obviously going to end up together. They're both very direct, very bold, aren't ones to be swayed easily, and love fighting. Oh, they're a dangerous, violent demon that's killed a lot of people in the past at their own discretion or on the orders of the Lucifer-figure Eclipse? You're a princess about to be queen, and this is a very forbidden romance looked down upon by your allies and the celestial beings above? Well, too damn bad, you aren't gonna let others dictate your lives.

Besides, there are other things unfolding that are going to quickly become everyone's much bigger problem soon.

There's also so much character development throughout the trilogy bro. You both are pretty badass, but you definitely still have a lot to learn.

An unnamed flavor of some vegan ice cream

Squids

Insects

Balloon Boy

Hot water

Sea water

Taylor Swift

Garden gnomes

Sports

Salads

Kids (this was implied) <- (he might've made this implication jokingly, but he did end up saying that he does have a soft spot for them)

Eclipse

The creator

Bloodmoon

Roxanne

Minesweeper

Soda/pop

Pumpkins/pumpkin carving/pumpkin guts

Miscellaneous:

Sun tends to get very competitive with gaming

He’s watched the entirety of Dragon Ball Z

He has an obsession with cleaning and stacking the toy barrels/tumble barrels in the daycare. If they’re not adequately cleaned or stacked in a very specific way, he gets upset

He’s bought stilettos and tried on a dress before, while saying that he’s a pretty princess

He used to have a crush on Roxanne

He’s not good at dancing and really only moves the upper half of his body

Sun is pansexual (check for sources). He's not bisexual, so him being pan is slightly more likely (retconned. Sun is more than likely straight, at this point)

Sun has a car and knows how to drive

He isn’t very good at acting

He has a habit of cheating when playing competitive games

It’s been implied numerous times that Sun occasionally enjoys cross dressing

Old Moon has made a statement before, suggesting that Sun has kleptomania

Sun can read bar codes

He apparently knows the history of gravel and can talk about it for hours

He was programmed to know how to drive

His rays are made of plastic

He plays D&D and his character is a warlock

Sun grooms his rays like they’re his hair, and he uses ray polish to do so

Sun knows the history of Windex

Sun knows how to play Yu-Gi-Oh

Cleaning is one of the things that calms him and helps him focus

Sun panics sometimes when he's not doing anything, because he feels like he's not doing enough. Apparently this was triggered by Eclipse's return

Sun can't calm Moon down whenever Moon gets seriously upset, and Sun finds that "kinda scary" (<- exact wording from the therapy video). This means that on some level, Sun is afraid of Moon's anger, and of Moon acting irrationally when he's upset

Sun is the only janitor in the daycare

Sun's had a bird fly in his face before, and according to him, it's more annoying than scary

Sun's not good at bowling

He's eaten glitter glue at one point as a coping mechanism. He may or may not have also eaten sparkles

Sun knows how to grind coffee beans

He turned his basement into a cat den, and his cats have their own TV

Sun drinks (we don't know how often)

If he could be an animal, Sun would be a stingray

Sun doesn't clean the bottom of the ballpit

Sun received an offer to replace Glamrock Freddy as the face of the pizzaplex, but he refused. A lot of the refusal stems from him not wanting to be on a stage in front of so many people

Sun's never watched any classic Disney princess movies that occurred before Beauty and the Beast and Mulan. This would include ones like Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella, although he's had Cinderella play passively in the background before (knowing Earth though, she'll probably make him watch all the original princess movies eventually)

Sun goes through a lot of existential crises

Sun is very good at finding kids who wander from the group whenever he takes everyone somewhere outside the daycare

Sun knows how to set broken bones

Sun has a fear of heights

Sun buys animal shaped soaps

Sun puts down a lot of sticky notes in different places

In the earlier days of the daycare, Sun once tried to play hide and seek with a blind kid. It did not end well

Sun's watched Death Note 4 times through

Sun has a crush on Yor from Spy x Family (his type seems to be people that could beat him up, but this could change)

Sun has a punching bag

The emotional part of Sun's mind that's positive looks like a sunflower field, while the negative part looks like a dart forest

Sun takes his teeth out like dentures to wash them, instead of brushing them normally

Thus, the great householder Pelgyel2 of the supremely heroic Orshö Orang family requested Zhepai Dorje on behalf of the monks of the Padma Ö Ling retreat center in the sacred place of Nang Ding, which is the aspect of the throat chakra of enjoyment in the great hidden land of Pemakö, for an essential [prayer] that would be suitable for regular use. Accordingly, in the quaint residence of Pema Yangdong Dorje on the virtuous day of the first half of the Monkey month in the Female Water Ox Year (1733) called Incautious,3 the vidyādhara Zhepai Dorje clearly dictated [this prayer] to the scribe Dorje Sangdak.

[storytellingbadger]

Busted out very old oil pastels for a spin on Swift in his wisteria grove. Boy’s smiling though, that’s improvement!

Solar’s Sun “Swift” as he appears in my TSAMS AU Celestial Phenomena on AO3. Mind the tags.

[storytellingbadger]

Badgerpoll again

Back on the drawing buzz. I just posted the blue sky twins from my TSAMS AU Celestial Phenomena (from A Place Where It NEVER HAPPENED!!! in VRChat).

Want to draw something else - but what?

Pick who you want to see. Leaving a comment with your 'why' plus any other ideas/nuances is encouraged! Bearing in mind complicated backgrounds will NOT feature, I'm deathly allergic to them.

Thank you all - have a good one!

[storytellingbadger]

Proud of my artfight refs so posting here! Plus they're brand new, shiny updated refs, so... useful gubbins.

Solar's Sun "Swift" in all his pollen-yellow glory. His colour palette is my favourite out of the Celestial Phenomena cast (mind the ratings). Not enough green-themed suns!

[storytellingbadger]

Ho-ly-SHIT

This is spectacular. Thank you so, so much! It’s him! It’s Swift! He’s so bright and shiny and AAAA the DETAILING you’ve nailed here… he has no moon emblem on his shoes, the cane’s design is bang on, the almost too-muted embroidery on his pantaloons (true to the ref, this is NOT a complaint) representing how dim and faded he feels in real life, the freckles, the reverse-tone cheeks, the wide-eyed worry fading as he finally sees his baby brother Solar.

Fun fact - Swift’s colour palette is my favourite in the cast line-up I’ve drawn. Blue Moon is a close second, but the green and vivid pollen-yellow combo here just scratches my brain. And his green buttons are like talismans or something, I adore them.

He’s gorgeous. I’m blown over. Thank you so much!

(For context, this is Solar’s Sun, who re-styles himself as Swift in my Impact Event story on AO3.)

I just really really like this little fella,,, puppy dog eyes

Lil guy by @storytellingbadger !!

[storytellingbadger]

Coming soon...

(Sneak peek of "Fleet" - the latest chapter in Observations in Gravitation over on AO3. Mind the ratings.)

The words came from Swift unbidden. “Tell me what happened before I woke up.”

The gossamer softness in Solar’s face fractured. “I can’t do that.”

“Why not?”

“Because…” Solar tailed off, staring hard at the ceiling before meeting Swift’s gaze again, “You were there, then you were gone. I can’t just dump years of shit on you, that’s not fair.”

“You’re not dumping anything,” said Swift gently, “But I want to know.”

“You don’t—”

“I do,” said Swift firmly, “I want to know who I’m mourning.”

I want to know what he did to you so I can hate myself even more for missing him.

The eclipse-model’s face crumpled, and Swift hated himself a little more. “I’m not ready, Swift. M’sorry.”

Circuits twisting with shame, Swift stepped close to rest their foreheads together, tapping his rays soothingly against Solar’s smoky ones. “You don’t have anything to be sorry for, brother.”

“Yes, I do,” mumbled Solar, “If I was smarter, I’d have figured what he was capable of and taken us away from there. I… I wish it had been me.”

Squeezing his optics shut to hide the anguish he knew was blazing there, Swift pressed a little harder.

And I’m glad it was me. Because if he’d killed you, I never would’ve known. Either I let Styx kill you, or I left you behind to let him hurt you. I doomed you just by knowing you, and I’ll never be sorry enough for that. 

Instead, Swift murmured, “Well. Makes two of us who should’ve been smarter.”

[storytellingbadger]

im crashing out over styx, i want to hold him gently but then smash him on a wall. does that make sense? like his ill despair tugged on my heartstrings but at the same time GOD is he an unhinged asshole. ive read celestial phenomena about 3 times now and i jumped so happily over noticing the continuation recently. giggls..

anyway. im probably #1 (and most likely the only) styx love-hater.

Hello and thank you for the ask!

Makes absolute sense. Styx was a monster shaped by his own selfishness and darkest impulses, but he loved Sunny with his entire being. Losing him broke him irreparably. It takes a certain kind of devotion to do the things he did.

The next chapter of Observations in Gravitation “Fleet” focuses on Swift (Solar’s Sun for anyone who hasn’t read the series) and will be duly emotional, touching on how Styx used to be back before it all went wrong. He wasn’t like a lot of moons - he didn’t belittle and bully Sunny. He was kind, and Swift misses him desperately. Grieving a monster in silence is a lonely endeavour.

Hopefully out very soon!

Thank you again.

[storytellingbadger]

I’ve been busy, but I’m back - a bit - and I want to draw!

I’ve got a sketch for a TSAMS Moon and Sun combo. They’re just chilling together. Need to add details, colour and mood, and can’t decide on the final duo. So… who do you want to see?

(References below poll.)

Option #5 with the OG twins will look most like canon Security Breach of the lot, if that’s your thing.

Mentioned designs and profiles from my TSAMS AU Celestial Phenomena over on AO3 (mind the ratings) … the Suns | the Moons

If you have time to comment/reblog and tell me why you chose an option, I’d love to hear it!
