Makemake - Tumblr Posts

Sooooo.... I have made art again >:)

(The last one is a keychan of my sona with Garuru)

I legit spit out my apple juice. Makemake is a polynesian God, and they named a dwarf planet after him, and I just...mind blown.

Also, stop making fun of our Gods and Goddesses names. If you provoke something, that's all on you for making them angry.

people act like Pluto was dealt a bad hand bc they thought it was a planet but later classified it as a dwarf but consider this: there are 4 other dwarf planets in the solar system that most people don’t even know the names of so Think Again before you think Pluto is underrepresented

Solar System Dwarf Planets (Ceres, Haumea, Gonggong, Makemake, Eris, Quaoar, Orcus, Sedna, and Salacia)

While Ceres is in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter, the rear of the Dwarf Planets lie beyond Neptune, beyond Pluto, in the Kuiper Belt.

With the Dwarf Planets, I wanted to add in cultural aspects to their designs as the main planets are named after Greek/Roman mythological figures, the Dwarf Planets are more diverse.

With the exception of Salacia and her moon Actaea, all of these were drawn in November/December of 2023.

Also, why did the scientists have to give Ceres and Sedna their names when they don't have any moons? They're named after fertility goddesses. And Makemake's moon doesn't have a name! 😭😭😭

Eris, Makemake, Haumea, Quaoar, Sedna, Gonggong, Ceres, Salacia, Orcus, and Pluto
