When you meet the right person, you just can’t stay away. Your heart races, your atmosphere shudders, all your little inhabitants begin to die off under the constant earthquakes and strange changes in weather, and you feel like you can’t do a thing with your hair.

It’s not enough just to share a synchronized orbit. It’s not enough to share long, wistful, secret looks during the occasional eclipse. When you’re with them, you want to be with them, long term consequences be damned.

What can you do? One day your two orbits will decay and you’ll wind up in a passionate embrace while the other planets look on and say they always knew. And as your point of impact cools and your civilizations struggle to rebuild, you’ll tell each other that you’ll be together forever.

Until you remember why you broke up in the first place. That’s just astronomy, baby. Leave the key.

This shirt was designed by: sekiyoku, who thinks there was once a continent made entirely of molten green cheese. It’s true, we asked her.

Wear this shirt: to remind yourself that sometimes saying goodbye is best for everyone.

Don’t wear this shirt: around your friend Jupiter. He won’t understand. He’s got moons just lining up for a chance to orbit him. He once talked two moons into orbiting each other just to see if he could. What a life, huh? And he’s in Vegas every other weekend. Real player.

This shirt tells the world: “They are your ex for a reason, you know.”

We call this color: That Black Hearted Lunar Object Did Me Wrong
