Having art block rn 😭

so, Ima do an oc challenge thingy with Nova. first one was different stages of her life, so I picked teenager years.

since Nova was created a little while after the first humans appeared and he's immortal, nova ages differently, he'd would've been a teenager during ancient Greece. I like to think Nova would have kept her hair in its natural form (a water ombre I guess) up until humans started accusing each other of being a witch (so like 1300ish), because he just didn't want to deal with the trouble of being accused of a witch (but that didn't help much).

But yea anyway here's Nova as a teen during Ancient Greece.

(also she had a tongue before and during ancient Greece)

This fanart is one of my absolute favourites of the Renegades trilogy. Thank you for this fun and stunning work, truly! It's a piece that makes me wanna watch it as if this were an animated show. And I hadn't read the books, I would be curious to binge read them just from seeing this. Honestly, I am already, even though I know their stories by heart.

What Space Patrol Luluco meant to me, as an aeromantic middle schooler

H hhiii everybody, this is an essay I wanted to write. I know this is an art account, but the last time I wrote a half assed paper about Osomatsu’s 24th season two episode you guys like it? So maybe, just maybe, you guys would be ok with reading another, this time something more personal, about what I beleive is a completely underrated show and how it changed my life! :D

WARNING!! THERE ARE HEAVY SPOILERS IN THIS ARTICLE FOR SPACE PATROL LULUCO

Space Patrol Luluco is a 13 episode shit post about a 13 year old girl name Luluco (fuckadoodle doo) who take her father’s place in the Okikubo division of the Space Patrol after he’s turned into a frozen brain splinter by her Space Pirate Mother. (more on that later)

What the series is most known for is being one huge fucking inside joke for fans of Studio Trigger. The 13 episodes are divided into 5 mini seasons, each ending on the third episode so that that there’s never a fourth episode, since Trigger is known for their infamously bad fourth episodes. The show even confirms that all Trigger properties belong in the same universe just on different planets, Luluco even meets some notable characters from other shows. It’s a really neat show for fans of the studio.

But for me, I’ve always seen the show as something much more personal than that, especially as an aeromantic middle schooler.

The show throughout seasons 1-3 carries this subplot of Luluco’s crush on this apathetic good looking boy name Nova; and to be honest when I was first watching it I found this subplot cringey and unappealing.

As a bit of a disclaimer, my aeromanticism was a coping mechanism due to some bad experiences involving being stalked and manipulated by a boy I knew for seven years. (i’m not joking, fourth grade to tenth grade) For most people aeromanticism isn’t a phase, and I’m not trying to imply in anyway that that’s what it is, but for me, it was a phase. Romance made me incredibly uncomfortable, because I was convinced that all love is shallow especially premature teen age love. I believed the standard of love we had created for ourselves was impossible to actually achieve. Especially impossible, and pointless, for middle school love.

And that’s how I felt about Luluco’s crush for Nova. It wasn’t special, it wasn’t deep, it wasn’t love. But it all changed in the series's climax, because my outlook on Luluco’s crush was the exact intention of the writer’s. The audience was meant to view her love as insignificant, because that was the exact view of the series's main antagonist too.

Another thing I’ve always loved about all of Trigger’s properties are their insane plot twists. (or at least the ones I've seen have plot twists) In episode one of season four of Space Patrol Luluco it’s revealed that the commanding chief of the entire space patrol force is a Blackholien, an alien species that only finds joy from stealing everything the universe has to offer; but because he’s so bored of stealing things of value, he sets about trying to steal the most worthless object in the entire universe- a middle school crush. Nova, the boy Luluco loves, is revealed to be a Nothingling, a being incapable of having a personality or feelings. The Blackholien humiliates Luluco by showing everyone that she only loves Nova for his looks, because that’s all he is. Then, Nova steals Luluco’s love from her body and the shock of this kills her.

Now, watching this for the first time, this really got my attention. In the next fucking episode, Luluco isn’t even in the opening anymore, because she’s dead. She spends the whole episode in hell, until she realizes something. It doesn’t matter to her that her love seems immature and shallow, because to her, it’s real.

Pulling back from the show for a moment, I’d like to say that we live in a society where we hate little girls. We do. If something is fucking stupid but is geared toward boys we withstand it. But if something is fucking stupid and geared toward little girls we hate on it, relentlessly. I felt that pressure alot as a child. Until I reached high school I was a tomboy, because I didn’t want to be seen as feminine. Subconsciously, I saw it as weak and something to outgrow. But it wasn’t until freshmen year that I realized that I’m ok with being girly. I can be feminine and powerful at the same time.

I got a little off topic there but what I’m trying to say is that these themes are very present all through out the show Space Patrol Luluco, except it focuses less on gender expression and more on age but still it’s kind of the same. There are arc words within the series, such as how instead of stealing people only use the term “shoplift.” And how the Blackholien at every chance he gets calls Luluco a worthless middleschooler, belittling her for her age and her optimism.

I rewatched the series recently, and seeing it from a different perspective, with a romantic partner in my life, I’ve really come to understand Nova and Luluco’s relationship. Back in season one, after spending sometime with Nova Luluco experiences this big bang, and it’s meant to be this metaphor for the emotions blooming within her. Later, after Luluco comes back to life and confesses her feelings to Nova he experiences a big bang too, and for the first time ever he can feel emotions, and he falls in love with Luluco, and to me, that is the most romantic beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

As someone who has personally experienced what it’s like to feel incapable of love to finding my soulmate, it’s incredibly empowering. And that’s the real purpose of Space Patrol Luluco. Good art shows people different perspectives of the world, and years ago that’s exactly what it did for me. And I don’t care if love is stupid anymore I just know what it is I feel, and that’s what Luluco is for. To teach little girls like me that it’s ok to have dumb middle school crushes.

The thiccest oc I’ve ever made : NOVA

Locker Room Talk Pt.15

The Ultimate After Workout Locker Room Talk

Amara walks into the locker rooms first in a bra and white short with after an amazing gym session. Her face is slightly pink and her skin is dripping with sweat.

Amara: That was a good session everyone

Aurora and Ranza walk in side beside in white bra's and red shorts, matching. While Ranza's hair is up in a ponytail, towel around her shoulders, Rory's hair is down and her towel it slung over her shoulder. Both of them have bandages around their hands.

Aurora: I need a cold shower- The fuck-

Ranza: I agree with both Amara and Aurora.

Helena's hair is in a high bun and her bandages are still tied around her hands. She is just as sweaty. Instead of shorts like the rest of them, she's wearing light grey sweatpants.

Helena: I have to agree it was a satisfying session.

Nora groaned walking in, holding the towel around her neck. Her hair was messy and she was POURING sweat from training with Helena. The bandage still on her hands. She sits against her locker, pouring water down her body as she talked...Almost everyone staring at her.

Nora: You say that because you won every time!

Helena: I'm skilled at what I do. But you'll get there.

Jessa bumped Lorelei's shoulder, smiling. They're almost matching. Jessa's wearing Lorelei's baggy sweatpants and a dark blue bra. Lorelei is just wearing white bra and brown shorts. Both of them are raining sweat, Lorelei's hair's a mess but Jessa still wants another round.

Jessa: I need a redo!

Lorelei: Starlight...you lost five times...

Jessa: So?! Gorgeous, I deserve to win a round.

Mackenzie and Revi are the next couple to enter the locker room. Mac is sweating a river while Revi is as energetic as always. Mac is wearing a white bra and green shorts.

Mac: I'll let you run with me under the full moon tonight...I promise it's amazing.

Revi: I bet it is.

Mac: But a cold shower does sound good right about now.

Revi: Agreed.

After losing to Nova repeatedly Madison's skin is sleek with sweat. Nova is sweating as well, but not as hard as Madison. Nova wears her regular black bra and shorts and Madison is wearing a dark magenta bra and black tight sweatpants.

Nova: You did good today.

Madison: You did even better. Taking me down time after time.

Nova: It's nothing compared to how you lasted longer than anyone else I've dueled.

Madison: I'm free after a meeting...Want to get some extra training in?

Nova: Of course ^^

Ruelle and Vinca walk in, side by side. Ruelle yawns and scratches her bare stomach. Vinca rolls her eyes.

Vinca: You cheated.

Ruelle: Not cheating if I'm using my resources.

Vinca: Who told you that.

Ruelle: Mistress Xenia.

Vinca: She...surprisingly isn't wrong.

Zhora walks in last and heads straight to the showers. Her skin extremely damp and her hair uncomfortably messed up.

After That Aftermath

Nova: It is breaking and entering if you really think about it.

Juliette: A chonky dude with a white beard breaks into your house.

Andi: Like-

Juliette: Let me say it.

Andi: Go ahead...make me proud.

Juliette: Similar to Lebron James breaking you front door down saying "Want a sprite cranberry."

Andi: :loud wheezing:

Juliette: Or like the kool-aid man screaming "OH YEAHHHHHHH"

Locker Room Talk Pt.9

Nova approaches Nora while she's getting dressed for her next training lesson.

Nova: Nora *whispering*

Nora: Yes?

Nova: Why is everyone staring at me?

Nora: Hm?

Nova: The whole locker room...They are staring at me.

Nora: You are very beautiful, who wouldn't?

Nova: No...I mean...they keep staring at my pants.

Nora: Why do they keep staring at you pan-

Nora glances down at Nova's pants and her eyes widen.

Nova: What?

Nora: You...you don't feel that?

Nova: Feel what?

Nora: The...the...

Nora breaks into giggling.

Nova: Why are you laughing at me? This isn't funny.

Nora: No...it's how you're wearing your pants...you might as well just be in your boxer shorts.

Nova: Please explain...

Nora silently takes Nova's hand and drags her to the nearest shower mirror.

Nora: Look.

While Nora is laughing to the point of tears, Nova figures out what it is.

Nova: Oh...

Nora: Yeah...*loud wheezing* Mhm...

Nova: Please breathe..

Sofia: Thank you, amor.

Jessa: Shit...you two would be a cute couple

Sofia and Freddie: No.

Jessa: Why? If you don't mind me asking.

*Sofia gestures between her and Freddie*

Sofia: We are polar opposites

Nova: Opposites attract

Zhora: She isn't wrong.

Sofia and Freddie: You all get on my goddamn nerves.
