#fictional characters zodiacs

[witchthewriter]

Hi! I'm curious to know if there are any fictional characters that have these placements as there big 3 in you're opinion: cancer sun taurus moon Sagittarius rising

Well, this isn't an easy question. It's quite big actually, because I haven't given any character that big 3. So let's do some investigating and break this down.

*Yes I know this can be argued, this is just my opinion.*

𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐧 (Cancer - The Divine Mother, protector, guardian)

Tarot Card: The Chariot

Ruled By: The Moon

Element: Water

Symbol: Crab

Modality: Cardinal

Nurturing, protective of others

Caring & kind

Extremely loyal!

Motherly aura, even if this person doesn't have kids or want them. They just make people, particularly younger people - feel safe

𝐓𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐮𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧 (Taurus - The Divine Feminine, the sustainer)

Tarot Card: The Hierophant

Ruled By: Venus

Element: Earth

Symbol: Bull

Modality: Fixed

Down to earth

Stubborn / Strong Willed

Once they have made a commitment, they’re persevering.

They tend to go out of their way to avoid “messy” or unpredictable situations, crises, and emotional displays.

Moon in Taurus natives are generally very romantic: their affections are strong, deep, and unwavering.

𝐒𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐮𝐬 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 (Sagittarius - The Explorer, the seeker)

Tarot Card: Temperance

Ruled By: Jupiter

Element: Fire

Symbol: Archer

Modality: Mutable

Doesn't like tedious work, outdated ideas or difficult lovers.

Indepedent and loves freedom

One of the most endearing traits of a Sag Rising is their willingness to keep up a sense of humor.

They can be very intimidating

Restless and active

Now, onto the results...

𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬:

Steve Harrington | Stranger Things

Trixie Franklin | Call the Midwife

Buffy Summers | Buffy the Vampire Slayer

With these first three characters, I looked up their mbti and turns out - they all have the same! ESFP!

So that made me look at other characters with ESFP personality and Cancer Sun, Taurus Moon, Sagittarius Rising could be applied to a few more:

Amy March | Little Women

Rachel Green | Friends

Baloo | The Jungle Book

Part 5 of the "I analyze Tumblr Sexymen so normal people can see what others (mostly women & queers) see in them!" @willowthefoxxo wanted me to do Zooble from TADC to see why they're simping over a cheap knockoff Ikea toy so here xey are

I did the best I could for this one, since they have almost no human traits. But that doesn't mean I don't see why people simp over them.

[seraphinitegames]

Hello Seraphinite I love your book series and have read it many times. And each time I learn something new about this world. Thank you for your tremendous work and such a beautiful world. Once again, when I re-read a series of books and tortured my friend with stories about them, a question came to my mind Did you rely on zodiac signs, when you came up with birth dates for boys? Sorry for my terrible English, I'm just learning it

Good question!

I actually decided their birthdays before the zodiac signs, but after learning some of the zodiac signs, a couple of them ended up suiting really well, so that felt a bit like fate, hehe! :D

Thank so much for the incredible message and the ask!

Never apologise for your English! Not only is it amazing, but I thank you for making the effort so we can communicate, and I'm always in awe of people who can learn multiple languages! <3

"Jason not arguing/compromising in this situation is OOC because his stress response is fight" okay but stress response is context dependent, both environmental context (nature of the threat) and hormonal context (ie amount of cortisol currently in the body at that moment). And also the difference between fawn (aka the response used in negociation) and the other three stress responses (fight flight and freeze) is that fawn is a much higher response that requires higher cognitive function, social cognition etc. (which he has a looot of considering his life story), but also takes more time, so while Jason's immediate bodily reaction could be to gear up for an argument, he also completely has the abilities to evaluate that this is not the best strategy for his goals, especially since, while he is a very emotional character, he does also have impulse control and can be very (very very very) patient with his strategies (that man has some incredible impressive levels of inhibition sometimes, seriously utrh!jason wtf). And also people have the ability to learn, both in terms of complex reasoning, simple pathways and on a biological level, it's also very possible that after being stuck on fight mode for so long and getting hit after hit after hit (being caretaker for his mom and then himself as a little kid in a classist and violent environment, his mom's death, malnutrition, the general stress of being on the streets, M'a gunn, (skipping on Robin because of meta stuff to stick to the things everybody would agree are important stressors), his dad's death, exposed vey closely to sexual violence at 15 (at oldest, not even getting into the csa hc he already has sexual trauma), exposed to direct violent death at 15, being betrayed and sold out (does that count as trafficking?) by his biological mother (whomst he had attached himself to), being beaten + very brutally murdered, digging himself out of his fucking grave, getting hit by a fucking car (talk about overkill) being in the streets catatonic and still fighting, being in the league catatonic and still fighting, waking up to your life having been extraordinarily upheavaled, being told "you remain unavenged" and then pushed off a fucking cliff (even ignoring the brutality of that fucked up kiss because my talia is not a rapist), being sent to teachers and having (from his pov) to kill said teachers, to honestly all of utrh especially the final confrontation ending with a near death experience.... I mean, wouldn't you be tired? Even just cutting it off at utrh, wouldn't you be tired of fight mode? Jason's resilience is incredible, but resilience is neither a personality trait nor an infinity resource, you electrocute a dog often enough and it stops trying to jump out. And do I have to say anything, from a biological pov, psychological pov, from any pov really, about the events of Gotham War and The Man who Stopped Laughing? Because Bruce literally rewrote Jason's dna (which makes no fucking sense but whatever) to modify his stress response, he was quite literally forced on freeze mode, and Joker got him functional by rewriting those extreme amounts of stress as funny. At this point what makes the most sense is for Jason's stress response to be painful, uncontrollable bursts of laughter. I'm sorry if this sounds aggressive, I just really really like talking about psychology applied to character analysis and I'm not trying to be patronizing or anything, I just thought "hey I don't quite agree with that and that's an interesting conversation" and then the brain bees took over

Asian sci-fi

gender studies

giant robot

rebellion

revenge

sci-fi

social commentary

superhero

My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

The unearned demands of the noble class breed a very particular, very familiar stench of greed. Surviving preferential dicta for race, ethnicity, and gender, one encounters a sociopolitical infrastructure whose foundational phobias sting the eyes into blinking. The bigotry, the intolerance, and the chauvinism are ubiquitous, and as such, sweeping efforts of immense chaos are necessary to shake the firmament. IRON WIDOW affirms what is occasionally, truthfully, philosophized: Abrupt revolution is necessary when gradual progress is rendered functionally impossible.

Such are the woeful accuracies framing the corrupt polity of the land of Huaxia, its many provinces, and the army under whose auspices each citizen pays tribute. Forced conscription, unyielding tax burdens, a world under siege from biomechanical alien entities. The glaringly forthright and uncompromisingly distorted culture of violence, scarcity, and sexism of Huaxia gives readers a clear window into the novel's trajectory: Everything is terrible, and one young woman, Wu Zetian, pledges to fight for a new paradigm until it kills her.

Lady Wu, by fashionable accounts, is a mad woman. But readers know better. Readers know she enlists to serve as a concubine, a position of fealty and support during military operations, only to exact revenge upon a pompous fool. Readers know she acquiesces to train with a convicted murderer, only to further her ambitions to end the war on her own terms. Readers know she signs a contract with a sleezy media magnate, with her own blood, only because the manufactured splendor of public adoration is the only mirror that outshines the stratified grandeur of the national army. Many people view Wu Zetian as a bit mad, sure, but everyone in her life has failed her, abused her, or misused her. Zetian cannot unmake the trauma others have wrought, but she can definitely become a nightmare all her own, and terrorize in kind those who deserve it.

IRON WIDOW offers contemporary readers the type of noisy, foul-mouthed, vengeance-seeking young female lead character so many fantasy fiction titles lack. The type of hard-luck woman so many books mimic in earnest but ultimately blink when the blade is swung, when the trigger is pulled, or in the case of IRON WIDOW, when the 40m tall mech transforms and starts ripping people's limbs off. Zetian never knew a good person in her whole life, so why would she ever desire to become one herself?

The novel's setting is a futuristic Asian fantasy realm complete with giant robots, ravaging otherworldly beasts, hover-vehicles, holographic displays, fantastical god-beings, powerful physical manifestations of qì, and sprawling military-industrial complexes. The author clearly loves the mash-up, as readers will find multiple references to ancient Chinese literature and lore alongside sci-fi exploits like transforming mecha that typify the zodiac. The kitsch may not be worth admiring, if the reader isn't in tune with either, but it's plenty enough for those whose interests rightfully intersect.

The best thing about this book is how thoroughly committed the author, and by extension, the protagonist is to seeing this story through to the end. Zetian, for example, isn't bitter and pessimistic about death because she has no options, she's merely giving as much violence as she takes ("Too bad. I am exactly the kind of ice-blooded, rotten-hearted girl he fears I am. And I am fine with that. May he stay unsettled," page 114). Some characters match Zetian's grit; others push back. Another female mech pilot, Dugu Qieluo, for example, is aggressively unlikable. Lady Dugu doesn't hesitate to throw a punch (at a supposed ally) and defends her personhood with vigor ("Never appease. No one's ever been respected for appeasing. The only thing you did was let them know there are no consequences to treating you like trash," page 295).

Fighting massive bug creatures in the wilds beyond the Great Wall occupy the official duties of these and other characters. But piloting giant robots to save humanity feels comically miniscule in importance when juxtaposed with the gravity of avoiding sexual assault, navigating corrupt officials, sniffing out traitors, and spitting in the eye of any supposed fate.

For example, Zetian allies with a wealthy young man, Yizhi, a possible paramour from her days as an impoverished girl in the mountains. Yizhi is a sympathetic man with a gift for big words. His kindness and his wealth seem limitless. But, "How far does the darkness in him go?" (page 183), she asks, knowing full well the corruption that girds her country doubtlessly lines the young man's pockets as well. A soft rich boy doesn't survive as one of dozens of sons what for being only a soft rich boy. He may be an animal, but evidently, Yizhi hides his teeth. A durable contrast to Li Shimin, a 19-year-old man convicted of patricide. Shimin is Zetian's co-pilot, and fittingly, the man is all rough edges, beset with the tired eyes and ruined liver of an alcoholic. Shimin doesn't hide his teeth, and his protective alliance with Zetian, a pledge to bark, tear, and destroy anything in their path, wavers on the border between keenly obligatory and affectionately benevolent. It's a love triangle appropriate for a novel layered with dead bodies.

IRON WIDOW is a thrill. It's difficult to find a fantasy book with female lead characters whose uncompromising disregard for state discrimination and fervent rebuke of institutionalized sexual violence manifest so clearly and cleanly. The first half of the book doesn't waver. Vengeance is on the table from the very first chapter. The action is pointed and the character dynamics are definitive. The violence only recedes when, in the second half of the novel, the story shifts into a rather strategic atmosphere, as Zetian maneuvers her successes and failures into greater grabs for political power.

Nevertheless, the book commits to characters-with-issues and unbuckles their ambitions with glee. It's a riotous adventure whose characters always know the stakes, and whose characters are just smart enough to know the pain of giving in to the greed of others is often greater than the suffering required survive on one's own terms. Buttressing these themes, compelling B-stories fill in the gaps, involving filial piety, bisexuality, the myth of popular karma, the quest to rid the world of entitled pricks, and the sad, disquieting inevitability of death ("Dread hollows through me. We spend so much effort living these lives, yet every trace of their substance and meaning can be erased so quickly. So easily," page 338).

Since I've been posting a little about zodiac signs, I thought I'd look up a few that are related to opera characters.

For example, both of the two famous operas set in Paris with a consumptive heroine, La Traviata and La Bohéme, which are both based on French books that were based in real life, with the author modeling the young male lover after himself.

Alexandre Dumas fils was a Leo. Henri Murger was an Aries. Do those signs seem right for La Traviata's Alfredo Germont and La Bohéme's Rodolfo, respectively?

Since Moulin Rouge! is basically La Traviata meets La Bohéme, and Christian is a cross between Alfredo and Rodolfo as a character, I wonder which of those signs might be his, if either? I'll guess Aries, because in general he's more like Rodolfo than Alfredo (Satine is obviously more Violetta than Mimí, though), and because Ewan McGregor is an Aries too.

Marie Duplessis, the real-life "Violetta," was a Capricorn. Does that seem fitting for Violetta?

(Meanwhile, staying in the realm of French authors who modeled young male lovers after themselves, I think we can safely say that Marius Pontmercy in Les Misérables is a Pisces, since Victor Hugo was one. Meanwhile, he subtly hints that Cosette was born on the day of the Battle of Waterloo, which would make her a Gemini. And if I remember correctly, Éponine also implies that her birthday is in June at one point, so she's probably a Gemini too, reinforcing that she and Cosette are "two sides of the same coin.")

What fictional character do you think embodies Pisces?
