You know I’m starting to fixate on something where I actually care enough about it to ramble something something- so let’s give it up for NSR! *tiny applause of me doing whatever the hell i want to do on this blog*

An odd thing for me though is that I’m specifically doing a whole character ramble and practically ONLY a character ramble so no biology stuff here (only slight astronomy). Please welcome to the stage, my scrimblo bimblo: DJ Subatomic Supernova!

As I once again shove aside my not only in-progress work but the ‘actually read to post’ work too, I’m here to spew words about my favourite egotistical space orb and not only am I going to do that, but also compare them to someone else of a unique mind. Because of both of their particular quirks about identity, self-importance, and ultimately expression of art, I like to think DJSS may share some grounds with Eve, perhaps enough to decently get along with each other if not even form a friendship.

If you’re one of my typical followers interested enough in reading this to get to here - the second paragraph UNDER the readmore - I will give a summary of the DJ and the Diva. DJ Subatomic Supernova, a space themed NSRtist with an ego so dense it can cause a singularity (which may or may not be an actual literal thing that has or did happen) and underappreciated ex-professor of university grade astronomy, strives to preserve their name and music to extend not only beyond their own time but for the future beyond humanity’s own existence in order to stave away fading into obscurity and truly becoming everlasting. In this battle of existential dread and their entire ‘Avatar of Earth’ schtick, we have a character who’s ego comes with a twist of not being selfish even though it is significantly self-centered, their motivations though using the medium of themselves being to create a legacy for humanity that will spread to the furthest reaches of the galaxy and back.

Eve meanwhile - real name Nadia - views the world in ways that seems only she can, seeing herself as the only one to understand the way she thinks and feeling so incredibly lonely in that fact - a realm of existentialism in of itself - especially since the one person that had begun the attempt had ended up losing thanks to his hair being set on fire. Expressing herself not only through her psy-dub music, Eve is an artist of multiple mediums from sound to visual, of sculpture, fashion, and paintings, many themes of her work centering on her personal experiences and insecurities, of eyes staring at her peculiarities and of turning those eyes against the viewer.

And what do you get when you cross an egotistical existentialist with a suffering surrealist? Maybe you get a little common ground to stand on. Perhaps not enough to satiate Eve’s personal desire to find like-minded brothers and sisters, perhaps not enough to bring Nova back down to Earth to appreciate the present for what it is. But perhaps enough that at least among coworkers, there’s even remotely enough broken ice to hold a conversation, perhaps enough that if in friendship, Eve may look towards the stars and Nova may look at the self of another.

Of course, this is not simply a character analysis based solely on canonical information, as it is now that I will elaborate (at least from the perspective of DJSS) with some headcanons of my own.

I’ve always been particularly an NSR lurker, not really doing much of actual engagement with the fandom but certainly sitting by the wayside and looking in. A thing that I have seen for folk’s take on a younger Nova is that they weren’t always a supernova one Bunkbed Junction away from going singularity- instead, they were a star. It’s always been one of the larger blue stars, but here I’d like to just go out and make it an O-Class main sequence star and be essentially a miniaturised equivalent; and when I say equivalent, I mean EQUIVALENT!

If you were an object head of maybe a G-Class main sequence star (the star itself significantly smaller than what it would actually be), you’d have on your head a miniature sun that would be a little portable and ultimately dimmer version of our very own Sol (or specifically if you had a G2-Class star which is more accurately our own sun). But if you had the misfortune of having an O-Class (O2-Class in this case for reference) star, with 800000 times the luminosity of the sun you’ve got a very VERY significant issue about just existing if you don’t wear something for the protection of literally anyone and anyTHING with eyes or cameras.

The ‘not yet named Nova’ Nova had to grow up early on wearing a super shaded helmet for the entire time they were star - already a thing one might be self-conscious about - up to and including the very moment they went supernova, another thing I must touch on. Depending on the size and general energy output of a particular celestial object - such as; a star - the point in time in which it collapses in on itself and, in the sake of stars, supernovas changes. And this particular case, let’s change a rather heard of saying for the sake of elaboration; the bigger you are, the faster you fall-

Not only was most of Nova’s early life spent hiding their star for the sake of other’s, anyone from astronomers themselves to any old star object head would say it was simply an inevitability that their star would collapse in on itself and become someone completely different, not a matter of if but when... and most certainly ‘young’ while it’s at it. Insecurities from being beheld a wonder to being seen as weird to even having adults already mourning their existence as a star, Nova may in fact turn to the stars above and retreat from the stars below in order to even begin to attempt to cope with their inevitable demise, embracing the existentialism and relying on their inherent knowledge of the astral sea to pursue a career in education. To teach people not to fear the end, the whatever theorised death of the universe, the collapsing of stars. To say that they shouldn’t be feared and shouldn’t be mourned just because they will change - and they will - and that the supernova that has been the subject of so much misplaced misery is in fact a dispersal of resources that can build to something much greater than the some of its parts.

And they are left unheard in the vast emptiness of space, of the classroom, of the home.

The inevitable happens, sparked early (far too early even for an O-Class) by a numeral amount of factors that would cause their world to spin, the light to bend, and an insurmountable level of stress and pain and misery and insecurity influenced supernova.

Too many lights and sounds and senses, DJ Subatomic Supernova particularly hates the design of Akusuka and Metro Division. Cast Tech, the district they hold Charter to, is low lit for a reason. Natura does not induce the swirling of senses, but DJSS has no particular interest in the gardens, for all the worth they put into Earth as a whole. And Dream Fever, something about the eyes that stare and the oddities that twist and turn.

Perhaps it is not their first choice to take in the work of Eve - of Nadia; the artist behind it all - it is not a reflection of their own story, nor does it reflect where they stand now. But there is meaning, meaning they can take in, take pieces of and relate them back to the past. The past that no longer exists, not if they have anything to say about it, not that they had any say in the first place. The artist Nadia, the diva Eve, the balance of the insecure and the expression. Reveling in the dual tones a much younger Nadia tried to hide (concealer rubbing off to reveal a hot pinkish red), the criticism of the viewer, to make the audience feel what had been felt constantly not entirely that long ago. A desperate plea to find someone that will listen, someone that will understand, someone that will hold their memory and share their story ad nauseam.

Perhaps there is something to share solace in, knowing that back on Earth there was another like Nova themselves seeking to engage to the world beyond them.

Though for different reasons, perhaps the two find even a slight solidarity with each other, whether friends or simple coworkers.

#djss #dj subatomic supernova #eve #nsr eve #no straight roads #nsr #character analysis #headcanon #to my tf ben 10 and td fans lmao oops nsr kicked down the dorr #i might not have the most amount of nsr folk here but hey listen i got some djss and eve solidarity here #i have been constantly thinking about nova for a few days now and only today did the comparison to eve come up #it's not that it's unheard of to have eve nova friendship in fact i've seen a few of those already #but i've also seen completely isolated (self-imposed or otherwise) nova that really does not deal with the other artists outside of meetings #i like both and i like each separately but i thought about how a dj diva friendship could happen #and because i really like to think about object heads in relation to everyone else in nsr #(i have seen others think about people like yinu's mama so if i happen to think of trees and plant stuff there's a jumping off point)#i really like to think how it must've been to grow up as specifically nova #in short: insecurities both from the outgroup AND the ingroup #probably why the fucker has a privilege pass to talk to them- folk would talk to them like something to mourn or just weird #they'd rather get money out of the schmuck ballsy enough to talk smack about the space dj #or if anything go 'so NOW you want to talk to me with respect? pay me for damages'#you know- full of spite #besides- out of the 4 other districts that nova has the physical ability to visit #dream fever (and natura) are the least visually and audibly intensive to deal with #natura may be a wonderful place (other than cast tech) to take a breather and a silent moment within the city #but it's not as if nova would have much interaction (in natura outside of meetings) with yinu or her mum #eve would be the one they'd likely run into- especially at a gallery and especially especially at a showing #also- djss is the only fucker to have not only light up clothes but a straight up gif #if anyone would pay attention enough to notice and intrigued enough to learn it would be eve the fashionista (among many other things)

What would a AACe VS Bunk Bed Junction Boss fight look like?

I've been gradually developing Kliff Breakdowns and descriptions of collectibles for Ano and his "shadow behind the scenes," so! I have a bit of an idea how this would go.

Overall, the battle area would depend heavily on the lighting! Ano's concerts are usually "blackouts," meaning that the light is strictly controlled to dramatize his performances.

♡

AACE: "Huh...? Heeeyyy-heeyy!~ That's not where you're supposed to be, you two! I know it's hard having to stay so far away from me, but maybe you can tell me every little thing your heart desires once we meet after the show, okay...?~"

ZUKE: "What? Meet after the show?"

MAYDAY: "We're not here for whatever fan meet'n'greet set up you have going on, buddy! We're here to show all of you megastars the power of rock!"

AACE: "... Oooohhhhhhh! I get it!~"

MAYDAY: "Finally!"

AACE: "---You're out of area because you want the positively polarizing opportunity to play with your one true love!"

MAYDAY: "What!?"

AACE: "I'm not supposed to do this, but I can break the rules a little bit for my number one fans!

Okay! I'll make this my best show yet! If you can outplay me, maybe you'll even win my heart!~ So, make sure to do your best!

One! Two---"

MAYDAY: "Huh!? WE! ARE! NOT! YOUR! FANS! Are you even listening!?"

AACE: "Lights out!~"

ও

FIRST PHASE: Phase is initiated by AACE Idol talking with Bunkbed Junction as if they're just his fans. In the beginning of the fight, he stays where he is on stage, and goes through his normal routine. B2J has to parry or dodge through the lights and lyrics that are usually a part of his show to get close, then make contact.

The player tries to attack AACE directly, but one of the lights or lyrics block the hit, and that transitions into the second phase.

♡

AACE: "Hey-! That's playing a bit too rough! You have to be gentle with me, or else you'll break my heart!

But... that look! Is that what you want!?

Don't you love me!?

Is it something I'm doing wrong?

Or... Do you love me so much you want to hurt me!?

That's it! That's it, that's it!

I'll do better this time!

I'll make sure to make you love me!"

ও

SECOND PHASE: Now, the battle takes place on AACE's stage. AACE floats up high, making the player unable to attack him directly. The lyrics from before track and target the player, and actively try to do damage. Parrying beams of light would give music notes, which allows you to take out his spotlights, then try to attack AACE himself.

Hitting AACE directly triggers the third phase.

♡

AACE is seen covering his face, and when he lowers his hands, part of his face plating is cracking and chipping off.

"What...? That's not-!

Why...? I don't know what I'm doing wrong!

I don't know! I don't know, I don't know, I don't know!

... MOYA!"

When AACE yells, all the lights go out, and the entire venue is plunged into darkness. May and Zuke question what's going on, and one of the blacklights flicker back on. Suddenly, there's someone standing on the stage directly under AACE: his "shadow" and creator, Moya. He completely disappears in the darkness, except when the flickering UV light passes over him. The only parts of him visible are his eyes and trails of light passing over his body.

"I already know, Ano. I'll make these pests wish they had enough common sense to leave you alone and leave in one piece, then you can wind down and relax for the night.

How does that sound, insects?"

ও

THIRD PHASE: Moya joins the battle from the stage, directly chasing and attacking the player in bursts based on the lighting. He only attacks when he can't be seen, and your warning is a surge in the music paired with the lights on his body making him visible right before he attacks. Every hit you get off of Moya gives you more ammo to use to hit AACE, who's still high above the stage.

The same mechanics from before apply, as well as Moya attacking, giving the player very few moments to breathe. Lots of health items thrown on stage from the crowd counteract barely having enough time to heal.

AACE taking enough damage that he's hit out the air triggers the final phase.

♡

MOYA: "What!? No!

NO, NO, NO!"

Moya rushes back to center stage, catching AACE before he hits the ground. He checks to see if there's any damage, and reveals that half of his facial plating is gone; it looks as if his head cracked open and shattered into pieces.

MOYA: "Hey! Hey, hey! One, two? Two, one? I need something, Ano, give me anything!"

AACE's lights start to flicker. He mumbles back "Two, one," before his lights dim entirely.

Moya stands, still holding AACE.

MOYA: "... I've had enough of you two. I thought I could reason with insects, and you proved me wrong. You're termites that just can't help but break everything they touch.

This ends with your extermination.

Right. Now."

FOURTH PHASE: Moya attacks much faster, but not hitting as many times, as he's primarily concerned with keeping AACE safe. He takes the damage himself over letting AACE get hurt.

Essentially a total barrage of Moya's wrath.

The phase ends with the showstopper; during which, Moya still tries to cover AACE.

♡

The final scene would leave Moya trying to put together the pieces of AACE's shattered face plate, as well as any other places he's cracked. May eventually tries to hand Moya one of the pieces as a peace offering, at which he yells at her to get out.

Might go on from there if I fully fleshed out the scene, but for now, have that concept in mind.

Camp WonderDream: Rock On!! Epilogue

Later that day...

Balan had done a throughout check to see if anyone else had been transformed into stone, and luckily, he was relieved to see everyone stone free. He had then visited Vinyl City and picked up a week's worth of Mayday and Zuke's favorite burgers, as a reward for helping them. Mayday ate at least 3 while Zuke calmly ate his. "Thank you again for helping us you two!" NiGHTS said, hovering in front of them

Mayday waved her off "It was nothing! Sure we were internally panicking, but we did it!" She said. Zuke raised his eyebrows "May, if I remember correctly, you were yelling about 'Roasted Mayday on a spit'." He said, causing the guitarist to blush. "Well, it was Still a very big favor of you to ask and you still helped us...I may need to up your privileges, Maybe let you Visit Vinyl Citu from time to time?" Balan said, casing Mayday to look at him with awe "YOU'D LET US DO THAT?!" She asked. Balan nodded and the two rockers got excited

Hakim suddenly appeared beside them "You two do deserve it! You saved us with the power of love! This is even more passionate than the poetry journal!" He said. The other Counselors looked at him "What poetry journal?" Lance asked. Hakim stared at them like they had lost their minds "The one that Mayday and Zuke were carrying around. I had found it and looked through it." He said. Pulling out a journal that read"Mayday And Zuke's AWESOME Song Idea Notebook! For Bunkbed Junction's Eyes Only!!"

Zuke's jaw dropped, and Mayday's eye twitched. "Hakim...did you have the book this whole time?" Zuke asked calmly. Hakim nodded. "And did you look through it?" Zuke asked Hakim nodded again "Yes! And I must say you are both very poetic." He said. Mayday took a deep breath. "Hakim. I'm going to give you to the count of 3, and you BETTER. Run. 3!!" She yelled, swinging her guitar at him. The love counselor quickly vanished, prompting the two of them to run after him "COME BACK HERE HAKIM!!" Mayday yelled, dragging Zuke with her.

NiGHTS, Saltbaker and Balan chuckled at his misfortune. "I'll be right back. Lance said, snapping his fingers and vanishing from them

Meanwhile, In Vinyl City...

Kliff chuckled sinisterly as he walked through Dream Fever, a bucket of red paint in his hand. Eve was currently at a press conference outside, and he was planning on dumping it on her head. "Let's see what Vinyl City thinks of you now you 'Bloody' musical faker." He sneered. "Now that your precious boyfriend and his guitarist dog are turned to stone, you really will be alone in this world. "He said as he positioned himself over her. Kliff poured the bucket, and was waiting to hear the press scream. But to his shock, there were gasps of Wonder. He looked down, and his red paint had transformed into a pile of beautiful flowers that had formed a gorgeous gown and flower crown for Eve.

The rock maniac stuttered, wondering how this could have happened, when he felt something snatch his legs and lift him upside down. He was the. Face to face with a tentacled being, a deep frown on its face, and a angry glare in it's eyes "Are you Kliff? It asked...

Meanwhile, Back at Camp...

Lance quickly returned and saw Hakim standing in a tree with Mayday threatening to chop it down. "There you are! Where have you been?" Moondrop asked. "Oh nowhere, just had to take care of something..." Lance said. Balan got curious, but knowing Lance, he felt that it was probably better not to ask...

This is a story inspired by @julili 's VERY adorable camp pic! I hope you enjoy AND go check out her work!
