Nothing like a little encouragement from your friends to get you out of a funk! Or ‘discouragement’ from Holden, in this case…

It definitely gives you a lot to think about, especially considering who it might be that put that idea in her head… (cough cough, perhaps a certain flower princess— though she’ll learn her lessons one of these days)

As for Davin’s, Siona only knows vague details of why exactly they left. It’s not something that’s ever come up, though it’s always been a “I’ll tell her/they’ll tell me when I’m/they’re ready situation.” For as much as Davin trusts Siona, it’s a particularly sensitive subject they don’t tend to go into.

What’s the darkest secret of each of the main six characters? I have a hunch that they individually may be sad or frightening or ridiculous. Or some combination.

Lumi: Has a crack on their outer shell. Is afraid of the dark.

Siona: Was raised by her older sister a la Lilo and Stitch. Is afraid Davin will leave her.

Davin: Lost their father and left their family to do some soul searching after a particularly bad argument. Their beanie belonged to him.

Mika: Fears Felicity will abandon him. Perms his feathers.

Felicity: Fears that her entire friend group will leave her. Uses lash extensions.

Holden: Left his previous galaxy alongside his mom to escape a terrible home situation.

LATGBG - Love Goes Down with the Ship

As Holden demonstrates why you shouldn't let a physical embodiment of chaos be at the wheel, poor Davin decides that now is a good time to let it all out...a pity the only ones listening are those who won't let him hear the end of it.

I swear, this comic came to me in a dream almost immediately after the last one (hence why I was able to complete it so soon). I look at this adorable tall lizard boi and I say to myself "listen, I love you, and I would put my life on the line to protect you, but putting you in these situations is too darn hilarious to pass up". So, here you have a case of peak meets peak (Next to HTTYD and KFP, the Madagascar trilogy is the best three-story pack Dreamworks has given us on account of it being the funniest).

And yes, I think you've probably figured out by this point that I have a major ship headcanon already. This show might as well have dangled a candy bar over my head when it provided a close-knit pair of polar opposite childhood friends with a reptile involved. Yes, I'm aware that they're just friends...but what if somewhere down the line that changes? It's adorable to think about! Now what do I call It? Siovin? Davona? Eh, you decide. Either way, let's not forget that all headcanons are valid here (or at least, they should be).

Also, I get a real kick imagining how Holden and Mika could be disaster "friends" in canon. It's order vs. mayhem all the way.

As always, enjoy!

They’d have a fun time exploring Beach City!

Their relationship is very inspired by Wander and Sylvia from Wander Over Yonder in a lot of ways. A lot of balancing between the two, and bringing out the best in each other! 💖

First off, many thanks for the feedback on my comic! Secondly, out of sheer curiosity, I'd like to ask (unless this info is under lock and key at the moment, that is), exactly how did Siona and Davin meet in the first place? A bond like that must have interesting beginnings (at least, that's what I think).

You’re very welcome! It’s always such an honor to be a subject of fanart, comics especially, and yours was much adored. Thank you again!

As for Davin and Siona’s first meeting, they met at a festival Davin and their family were selling produce for (after Siona accidentally crashed into their crates). It wasn’t long after helping clean up, the two quickly became friends, and Siona told Davin about her nomadic lifestyle— traveling the galaxy to uncover the universe’s mysteries.

Davin was enamored and intrigued by this, wanting to break free and try something new after spending a good chunk of their life selling produce to different spots across the galaxy. They wanted to truly explore, and Siona’s lifestyle seemed like it was exactly what they were looking for!

Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be, as during that time they were heavily stacked due to the influx of aliens wanting to buy, sell, and trade during such a hectic time. Siona and Davin went their respective ways, and for a time life continued as usual until Davin’s father passed away. Despite pleas for them to stay together during this time, after a rough argument they left their family to travel the galaxy alone until they met Siona— with their bond now being one that’s hard to break.

#lumi and the great big galaxy #latgbg #zzthekaiju #although needing each other would be fairly accurate too! #they understand each other like no other— similar to Mika and Felicity!

LATGBG - Mess With One and You Mess With Them All

A word to the wise, it doesn't matter how chill a guy may be. They could be the chillest, kindest, most shirt-off-their-back kind of person, but like anyone else, they have a limit. And there are few things more terrifying than when that person finally hits that limit.

Especially if they're a mellow space dinosaur and they caught wind of you slandering their slug BFF/Confidant/It's Complicated. You might as well go shopping for a coffin before they and their tagalong lizard-monkey-gremlin figure out where you live.

So...one post ago, I brought up a great upcoming indie project known as @latgbg (btw, you outta support it to when the time comes), and how I was going to do a fanart of it very soon. Well, a promise is a promise.

Seriously though, I can't emphasize enough how adorable Siona and Davin are when @starteas draws them together. A "sensitive and spunky" pair where one half is a good-natured reptile AND the sensitive one? Sign me the heck up!

As always, enjoy and let me know what you think! And here’s the link to the sign-up to the show’s Backerkit for those interested: https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/c83f9df0-a826-4a9c-9430-1360b99dbb2d/landing

Can I pretty please get 3 fun facts about Siona?

Of course!

1. Despite having an adoration for everything spooky, Siona has a fear of cavaticas (a centipede like bug with large pinchers!)

2. Siona is deathly ticklish just about everywhere— though her worst spot is her stomach!

3. Her favorite snack is dried Globala rings!

Holden a spaceship engineerer, huh? He must be watching a lot of animated mecha/ space sci-fi action shows. He would've loved Gurren Lagann.

He’d especially love collecting little spaceship figurines.

#lumi and the great big galaxy #latgbg #latgbg answers

What does the cast wanna become when they grow up?

Siona: Paranormal Investigator/Astronomer

Davin: Ancient history curator/museum curator

Felicity: Queen (or a fashion model)

Mika: Modeling agent (or librarian)

Holden: Spaceship engineer/pilot

Are there lycanthropian species in Lumiverse?

Nope!

#lumi and the great big galaxy #latgbg #latgbg answers #but there could be if you’re in a forest on a dark and spooky night #but who knows really ;)

[latgbg]

What are some of the main characters' favorite jokes?

Lumi: Unsure

Siona: Knock-knock jokes

Davin: Puns

Felicity: Physical comedy

Mika: Riddles

Holden: Practical jokes

#lumi and the great big galaxy #latgbg #latgbg answers #anonymous

[latgbg]

What are the main cast's main abilities/powers? And is there at least one of the character without them?

A lot of the main cast’s abilities boils down to their respective species, though the only true character with any sort of powers is Lumi!

• Lumi: can glow and grant wishes as well as create light trails to increase their speed.

• Siona can stretch her antennae and use them to hear better than the average alien.

• Davin can use their hood to not only protect their skin from intense heat, but also use it as a shield in case of danger!

• Felicity can sprout vines from the ground and use them to transport herself around or protect herself. She can also sprout thorns if she gets angry enough.

• Mika can turn his head 360 degrees and puff himself up to be more intimidating.

• Holden has intense strength and can easily lift up to x5 his weight. He can also use his tail as a third arm, or use it to kick or balance on. Davin’s species can do this, as well!

Robots exist in Lumiverse, yeah? Are humongous mechas a thing there too?

Yes! The people of planet Robobot can turn into a giant mecha if they combine themselves together.

[latgbg]

Is the rest of the cast outside of Sionia and Mika also disabled/neurodivergent in some ways?

Holden is autistic and has ADHD, like Siona, but the rest of the cast (aside from Mika) aren’t. Headcanons are encouraged, however, so please don’t let our response stop you from coming up with your own interpretations! :)
