#attaching myself to fictional characters 'cause they aren't real and to real people who achieved their dreams

[tarraxahum]

One thing that unintentionally and personally (as in, just in relation to myself) annoys me about the "do it scared" and other such true motivating sayings is that. Do WHAT. What's "it". I would fucking do it if I knew what "it" was. I would go out of my alleged comfort zone if I knew where to go. I would fucking live authentically if I knew what that fucking meant for me. It's been almost 30 years and I am not doing fucking anything with my life not because I'm scared to take a leap, but because I still don't fucking know where I want to be leaping. As a child I got asked "what do you want to be when you grow up" and I would say "I don't know" and now I did grow up and I still don't fucking know. Something that's not this. But WHAT.

One fear is that one day I'll be dying of old age and still not knowing. Just knowing that it wasn't whatever I ended up living.

AUGUST THE LEO! ♌️

Okay. This will be long. So buckle up! But this is TOO good for you to miss!!!

So last night, it got a bit out of hands, when @swedishyr and I talked about the birthdays of the character, and whether or not Lisa has considered them, and if we will see some - and of course their zodiacs.

Some of you probably are aware of my opinion about Simon and Wille's zodiac, but I actually haven't dived into a full display and analysis of it. It's mostly based on my basic zodiac knowledge and meme pages - but before we get to Simon and Wilhelm. AUGUST!

It was actually August that fully convinced me, that Lisa has considered this, and has considered zodiac traits when she made her characters. Because August is called August. He is of course born in August - every month named child always is. So August is a Leo. And what a Leo he is!! What I'm gonna tell you now, I did not make up myself. This is from an actual zodiac website, and it's a fucking August prototype!! 😨

Disclaimer: I know and love Leos. You guys are not evil Augusts. The thing about fictional Characters is, that you can mold them as you want - you, as a real person, is of course a nuanced human with good and bad sides! (and because it's fictional, you don't have to actually believe in zodiacs to buy this theory of Lisa molding them after zodiac traits)

Let's start with the basic traits.

We obviously don't see every side of August, but I underlined those who popped the most for me. Especially the last 'dislike'... I mean!! come on guys!

Okay, next on. The description of a Leo. It's a bit long, but it's worth it! You can't tell me, Lisa didn't base August on this exact description. Colored the most mind-blowing parts (if you don't bother reading all of it).

"People born under the sign of Leo are natural born leaders. They are dramatic, creative, self-confident, dominant and extremely difficult to resist, able to achieve anything they want to in any area of life they commit to. There is a specific strength to a Leo and their "king of the jungle" status. Leo often has many friends for they are generous and loyal. Self-confident and attractive, this is a Sun sign capable of uniting different groups of people and leading them as one towards a shared cause, and their healthy sense of humor makes collaboration with other people even easier."

No doubt August is the leader of the group. He is the king of his world, and should be treated as such. He view himself as top of he hierarchy and always has a plan figured out.

"They are in search for self-awareness and in constant growth of ego. Aware of their desires and personality, they can easily ask for everything they need, but could just as easily unconsciously neglect the needs of other people in their chase for personal gain or status."

This is August treatment of Simon 101! All about his personal gain and status; not caring about Simon, his financial situation or anything that doesn't affects himself.

"When a Leo representative becomes too fond and attached to their achievements and the way other people see them, they become an easy target, ready to be taken down."

Again, a precise description of what happened between him and Wilhelm, when he outed his financial issues.

"They will take the role of a leader in any relationship, and strongly rely on their need for independency and initiative. This can be tiring for their partner at times, especially if they start imposing their will and organizing things that aren't theirs to organize in the first place. Each Leo needs a partner who is self-aware, reasonable and on the same intellectual level as them.

August being a super control freak, and managing as much as posible! We also see it when he constantly wants to plan things out for Wilhelm.

Sex life of each Leo is an adventure, fun and very energetic. This is someone who has a clear understanding of boundaries between sex and love, but might fail to see how important intimacy and emotional connection is to the quality of their sex life.

August in no need of an emotional bond to Felice to be with her.

Family matters won't be the first thing Leo will think about when they wake up in the morning or lie to bed at night. Turned to themselves for the most part, they tend to become independent as soon as possible. Still, a Leo will do anything to protect their loved ones, proud of their ancestry and roots in good and bad times.

Biggest of them all. His family status is everything to August and above everything else. The worlds perceptions of him is his no. 1 priority.

Leos love to be surrounded by modern and trendy things, and although money comes easy to them, they spend it less responsibly than some other signs of the zodiac. Extremely generous, they could provide many friends with financial help, supporting them through bad times. Although this doesn't always prove to be wise, it always makes them feel good.

A Leo man wants to be treated like a king in their intimate relationship and this is not their narcissistic characteristic, but a true inner need that all people with deep self-respect have to feel. Plans with him are always big and dramatic, and showering with admiration, devotion and attention come really natural both ways. This is a man who gives many gifts when they are in love, often expensive and posing as a statement of his effort. Any partner that wants to stay with him has to prove that they are worthy of royal treatment and ready to give enough of it back. A Leo man will love compliments, and although he appears confident, he needs a lot of praise to start feeling safe around their loved one too.

His way to Felice is the biggest Leo move. He sees his total over the top invite to a fancy restaurant abroad as the biggest move of romance.

However romantic and passionate, this man will rarely choose a woman that doesn't "go well" with his appearance, or doesn't make him look good in the eyes of specific groups in the outer world. He is known to easily take the roll of an eternal bachelor, always on the hunt and celebrating love and life. He will put himself in the center of attention, and his partner could compete with a number of admirers, but their relationship is not in danger for as long as he is adored the way he loves to be. When treated right, he will stick around forever.

The foundation of his love for Felice lies in her status! He is all about status and how they could be seen as a power couple.

If you made it this far, I applaud you! It was an emotional rollercoaster for me reading how accurate this is to August. Are you convinced yet?

Just wait to you hear about Simon and Wilhelm. You will actually cry!
