#you don't know if they're based off of the myths or astrology personalities as they do a bit of both kinda not really

[astrit-e]

I love the fact Leo is the leader in the zodiacs. I can hear Aries's jealousy from a far. Also, he reminds me of Loke from Fairy Tail who is also the leader of the Zodiacs.

But Leo is more interesting than Loke

It's funny because Leo was always going to be one of the main two characters and it's mostly because he was inspired by my grandmother, who is a Leo. She's very family oriented and the head of the family. However, it wasn't until I watched fairy tail that it dawned on me that I never considered the fact that there should be a leader for the zodiacs as it's a team. Since Leo was already one of the main two characters I made him the leader + of what happens in the story that fit better.

Initially, however, before I made this choice Aries was the leader but due to me doing more research and realizing how erratic Aries's personality was it didn't seem like a good idea to have him as a leader also the fact that Zeus would do everything in his power to get him to not be the leader of the zodiac, most for personal reasons.

So, in that aspect, his position was inspired by Loke, but they are completely different character-wise and even personality-wise.

Aries and Leo while they are best friends they are complete opposites, but this is like any relationship really, in the beginning, you guys can be similar but over time can change because lives can be different, but that doesn't mean you stop being their friend. However, that also doesn't mean resentment or other feelings cant grow as well.

Aries is more prone to being hot-headed and angry, nor does he actually think stuff through, impulsive. Aries enjoy killing and fighting, for Leo it's more of an instinctual thing as he is technically a Lion and those deep-rooted animalistic behaviors show. He can also be silly, exaggerate things, and be dimwitted. He basically has two brain cells and they're fighting each other. Leo on the other hand if it has nothing to do with Herakles he's very tactical, organized, and can read the room. He's a lot more patient than Aries but when he does get angry it's much harder to calm him down than Aries. Leo is very much the fatherly figure type while Aries is along the lines of a dad who tries to be your friend. All in all, they're a giant gap of maturity between the two Leo was quicker at making the gap bigger. Aries's jealousy isn't necessarily due to Leo himself bec he also has feelings of jealousy toward his sister, Athena. He's constantly told she's better than him. Well, if I were in his shoes I would also be jealous or angry, being compared to others constantly isn't a good feeling.

#(P.S: I don't like fairy tail mostly bec there is a lot of writing tropes within the story that I absolutely hate and on top of that they ne #they're just kinda there. It's the “idea of them” rather than anything more #you don't know if they're based off of the myths or astrology personalities as they do a bit of both kinda not really #or if they are just like any other character with the title of the zodiac but then at that point what's the point??? #idk big ich. it's the same with any other zodiac-themed anime they're just “there” and never expand on them and it drives me nuts) #astrite #original comic #zodiac #original character #zodiac signs #anime #original #ask me stuff #asks open #ask box #doodle #comic #leo #aries

HeadCanons for DogDay x CatNap,

NOW‼️‼️‼️‼️🫵🫵🫵🫵

OKAY OKAY OKAY-

HOLY MOLY YA'LL APPEARING OUT OF THE THIN AIR IN NUMBERS

No seriously- PLEASE have mercy on me there are SO MANY COMMISSIONS-

☀️🧡🌙💜☀️🧡🌙💜☀️🧡🌙💜☀️🧡🌙💜☀️🧡🌙💜☀️🧡

I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. SUN CHARACTER X MOON CHARACTER>>>>>>>>>

I absolutely adore the Sleepyday ship name.

I think we can all agree on why the fandom took this ship by storm. I mean, come on, it's literally opposites attract. I may not personally like or even come as close to agreeing to the in-game Dogday and Catnap (since it's either fucked up or even more fucked up in every sense) BUT THE CARTOON VERSIONS? OH MY GOSH. CUTIES. ABSOLUTE CUTIES.

Literally extrovert x introvert.

LISTEN I ONCE FOUND ABOUT THIS ONE MASTERPIECE WHERE THEY HAD MATCHING NECKLACES THAT- LIKE- IF YOU PRESS ON IT IT KINDA VIBRATES AND YOU ONLY TOUCH ON IT WHENEVER YOU FEEL LIKE YOU MISS THEM. AND IT WAS SUCH A CUTE CONCEPT AAAAAAA.

Their date GOTTA BE watching the solar eclipse. ONE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY- WHY HAVE I NOT SEEN ART OF THAT? I DON'T KNOW. BUT I KNOW THAT IF IT DOESN'T POP UP SOON I'LL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

They are like gay without knowing what gay means. They just think that whenever someone brings it up they mean "happy". As in "happy friends".

Call me crazy but I LOVE my headcanon of Catnap knowing ASL either just because of knowledge OR because this man is so quiet people think he is a mute, which for him is good, and saves him a bunch of time. And besides, why talk when you happy go-happy Dogday to come along and talk for you?

OH TALKING ABOUT THAT LAST HEADCANON. WOULDN'T IT BE SO CUTE THAT DOGDAY ONLY UNDERSTOOD "I love you" IN ASL JUST BECAUSE CATNAP SAID IT SO MUCH ARGSDJFNSKLJDBFMSJKBASJDBFKJASBDFKJASDBFKSAJBD

They're so boyfriends I LOVE THEM! I'm pretty sure they'd be completely confused if they ever got to hear the myth that "cats and dogs hate each other"

PDA?... EEeeeh.. depends, on whether Catnap is awake at the moment?

I heavily am basing myself off from AO3 fanfic I read and absolutely adore, but CATNAP AS A NOCTORNAL GUY IS THE BEST HEADCANON EVER!!!

THEY ARE SHARING THE SAME BLANKET AAA

They outta have a picnic date someday where Catnap is trying out vanilla cupcakes and Dogday lavender tea.

I'd say that Catnap, on rare occasions, of course, likes to show very subtle and rather gentle affections like holding hands, intertwining fingers, locking arms or wrapping a tail around Dogday's leg. Meanwhile, Dogday is just: "❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️😭❤️😭❤️😭❤️😭❤️😭😭😭" on the inside.

BRING THESE TWO. TO KARAOKE NIGHT. THEY ARE SINGING ALL NIGHT LONG!!! Well, if Catnap approves of course.

Dogday when asked if he likes Catnap: "W-what? OOOoooh! OH! Uh-.. that! Heheh, well it DEPENDS you know? I mean... As in, like like or like liking like? BECAUSE- don't get me wrong! I LIKE Catnap! I like ALL of you! But I kind of.. like... like... like-" and that just goes on and on for hours.

Catnap when asked if he likes Dogday: "I love him. Why do you wanna know?" ever so casually. No hesitation.

Ngl the way I worded that last headcanon now sounds like that one line of Jessica Rabbit saying "he makes me laugh" LMAO.

OH MY GOSH. HEAR ME OUT YA'LL. HEAR ME OUT ON THIS ONE. WOULDN'T CATNAP LOOK ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS IN A DRESS? Okay. Yeah, no, I changed my mind, he would be all sassy throughout it. Yup... but at least Dogday is content.

They adore astrology, wanna know why? Because that's the one thing they commonly love. While everyone else has no idea what they're talking about.

THEY'RE CUDDLE BUDDIES!!!

I'm so normal for them. BUT SERIOUSLY I LOVE THEM AH-

#poppy playtime #poppy playtime chapter 3 #poppy playtime 3 #smiling critters #dogday #catnap #my headcanons #headcanon #catnap x dogday #dogday x catnap #sleepyday #THEY'RE SO CUTEEEEE #OTP #LIL BEBES IN LOVE

[spacedykez]

yknow what i feel like talking about my personal worldview. so why not. disclaimer this may include the following: negative views of religion, anti-religious sentiment, general negativity towards all belief systems (particularly Christianity), very scientific discussions of life/the human body, existentialism, bleak outlooks, death, morbidity, and the like. read at your own risk.

look. okay. i'm just gonna start this off by sayin: i respect your right to believe what you believe. and i don't have a problem with people practicing religion. i am also probably harsh and unfair towards religion as an idea. i Am sorry for that.

however. i simply Do Not Understand most religion. now okay right away: do Not bother trying to advertise your religion/beliefs to me. its not gonna work.

mythology, as concept, can be explained as people finding supernatural explanations for natural phenomenons. the greek story hades and persephone explains why the seasons happen. the greek god zues explains why we have thunderstorms. ra the Egyptian sun god explains why the sun rises and sets. the greeks have Apollo as an explanation for the same phenomenon.

religion, to me, follows similar patterns of belief. it is explaining why the world is what it is. and a lot of religious stories can be explained by natural phenomenon. i LOVE reading about the eruption of santorini, a volcano in the mediterranean sea, and how the fall of the minoan civilization, the story of the seven plagues in Egypt, the tale of Atlantis and a variety of other mythological/religious stories can be attributed to it.

but the issue is, it makes me skeptical. if so much of religion and mythology can be disproven and attributed to real events and phenomena, why believe these stories? science can explain most of what mythology can. and do you know what science has? proof. evidence. i trust what science has taught me, because it makes sense. it works together, and it can be proven.

so to me, religion? is a myth. a belief. it's not true. i respect that you are allowed to believe what you want. yeah. but i don't. these myths, these stories? yeah, jesus was a real person. was he the son of god? no, i don't believe that. did the seven plagues really happen? kind of. they are exaggerations, based on a real story that can be explained by Science.

to me? why would i believe that religion is anything more than another story? and why do we place so much importance on making political decisions based on it, when it's a lie?

and in all honesty? i don't like christians. i don't like christianity. block me, attack me, i don't care. as people? yeah. christians can be my friends, they can be good people. but their religion?

fuck it, man.

this is probably going to get me attacked, so just let me explain. i hate christianity because it pushes itself onto other people. i hate it because it's used as an excuse to justify stripping rights from other people. i hate it because it believes that i am drowning, that i am lost, that i am lesser, because i don't believe in it.

you know what i can respect? i can respect people believing in things that i don't believe in or understand that just want to be respected. that just want to live their lives. admittedly. i do Not know a Lot about the beliefs of anyone besides christians. maybe other religions are different in this way. maybe they're the same.

but i hate christianity with a burning passion. because it tells me that i am lesser if i don't buy into, in my eyes, their myth.

okay, religion rant over. i just wanna say on a similar note: i don't believe in the supernatural. i don't believe in ghosts, soulmates, reincarnation. i don't understand it. i don't buy it. spiritual stuff? astrology? nah. but i don't hate them. mostly. believe whatever lies you want as long as you don't try to force me to believe in them.

so if i don't believe in anything supernatural? what do i believe, then?

i believe- know? in my eyes, this is fact. this is what science tells me, and science can provide proof. i know that we are made of cells. i know that we are a complicated collection of electric and chemical signals that work together to create our world.

i don't think there's anything supernatural about the world. yeah its a bit bleak. but it's how the world is, really. it's mundane, and it's often far more random and physical than we think.

we are all matter, moving around on this planet. i like to think we are made of stardust. no, it's not true. but it's not inaccurate. on a base level, we are made of the same 92 elements that stars are made of. and it brings a little smile to my face to think that we are stardust, even if i know it's just a twisting of the truth for the sake of poetry and comfort.

and what is death? death is terrifyingly mundane. death is not supernatural, or magical. there is no after death. one day your brain will stop working in the mysterious ways it does, stop sending signals through your neurons, and that will be it. all that is You will be gone. and there are no souls, no reincarnation, nothing to bring you back again. you are gone.

yes. that's as scary to think of as it sounds. i don't like thinking of death. i don't like how easy it is to break the delicate balance of cells inside a human and kill them. but humans are, when it comes down to it, nothing special. we are simply cells, communicating. and yeah. its impressive to think about how humans work, in a more scientific way. maybe we're not magic, but it sure seems magical, how cells work, doesn't it? how millions of atoms come together, assemble, to make you the human that you are?

to end this on a happier note, i don't believe in magic. i don't believe in religion. but i do find meaning in life. it's about the little things, about the million different things that we consider mundane, that are really astonishing.

it's about the little weed that grows through the cracks in the pavement against all odds, trampled by rough feet and still growing despite that. it's about the casual intimacies of human life; the kind strangers you meet and the way that people are so beautifully human. about how we, as a species, want to create, and share, and be happy and make others happy, and love and be loved. i think that's a beautiful thing, really.

it's about the beauty and intimacy of nature; of the rivers and streams that flow consistently, year after year, about the mountains that are pushed up by the earth and the gentle waters of the ocean lapping against the shore. water is powerful and powerless; it erodes rock and destroys homes and yet we need it for life. and i think that the world contains a million intimacies that have a meaning far beyond than the lies we make up to explain them.

Neil Abraham Josten‘s Birth Chart Analysis

Neil is a never endingly entertaining character, to read about and analysis. As a self proclaimed astrologer I've taken up the task of reading some of Neil's birth charts to better understand our beautiful Junkie. This might seem like a waste of time to most people, including myself, but I have no life and I need divination intuition practice. 

*Note: the information we were given about Neil’s birthday is he was born January 19, 1988 in either Alexandria, Virginia or Baltimore, Maryland. We do not know his time of birth so I can’t tell you his rising (If I had to guess: Aries?) or houses. I just go over his big 6 in this post. Nora if you see this… what time was Neil born?  

Sun: Capricorn

Your sun sign is considered your core self, that’s why everyone knows their sun sign (and because it’s the easiest to calculate). Fundamentally Capricorn suns are defined by their need for structure. They are people who are very skilled and ambitious and focused on this material plain. For Neil this manifests as his fixation on Exy. When Capricorns want to be good at something they will stop at nothing to achieve this goal to the point of self destruction. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, planet of fortune, which basically means Capricorns are almost destined to go through some sort of great misfortune, normally involving money in some way. Neil's money problems are deadlier than most but it's classic with this sign. Similar to how your Moon sign represents your relationship with your mother, your sun represents your father. Fun fact about the deity Saturn or Kronos: He ate his children. Need I say more? Capricorn and daddy issues are basically synonyms. Capricorn's aren't necessarily social, mostly because their trauma leads them to avoiding people to protect themselves. They put their goals ahead of all else, including love and connection. Neil rather talks about Exy then sexuality. Some say this make’s capricorns boring but these people clearly have never met a capricorn. Capricorns might be rough around the edges, but in my experience they are great friends, even if they don’t realize it. 

Moon: Aquarius

OH THE MOMMY ISSUES!!! So your moon represents your emotional self and your relationship with your mother... and Aquarius is ruled by Uranus or Ouranos in Greek myth. You thought Saturn/Kronos eating his kids was bad? URANUS SHOVED HIS CHILDREN BACK INTO HIS WIFES WOMB!!! I see this play out in how mother was highly disattached from him, leading him to respond to emotional situations in a disattached and uninteresting way. This is shown in how he grieves for Seth. Contrary to popular belief, Aquarius is an air sign, meaning they have the characteristic Air sign aversion to feeling feelings. They prefer to logic their way through situations and to use their coping mechanism to deal. Yes they have emotions but they don’t like to share them (‘iM FiNe”). In contrast with Neil's Capricorn sun Aquarius moon needs to be able to communicate. Not about feelings but about what they do like talking about what they enjoy. This leads to a personality that craves human connection but doesn't know how to ask for it. Aquarius moon people also don't really give a shit about labels. It's all semantics for them. Now here is my unpopular opinion: Aquarius placements are sarcastic and temperamental. I know I said they don’t really like to share their emotions, but I feel Anger in aquarius is a natural consequence of not sharing their emotions. TL;DR Aqaurius placements we know you use sarcasm to mask your feelings. Talk about it. 

Mercury: Aquarius

So your Mercury is how you communicate with the world and your logical mind. again Aquarius is a logical air sign. These people are natural intelligence. Yes this does explain why Neil is good at math. He doesn't necessarily have to study to understand things as much as he can just get things from intuition. This explains his playstyle being largely intuitive and hard to explain how he knows things. Mercury in Aquarius people are active protagonists in their lives and do things to change the things in their lives (see him bringing together the team) as the humanitarians of the zodiac it comes naturally. Also going back to his capricorn sun mixed with his Aquarius in mercury means he physically cannot not talk about Exy and opening up about feeling’s is actually painful. 

Venus: Pisces

BOTTOM!!! No but seriously, Your Venus is how you relate to people, the things you value, and your romantic endeavors. Pisces is something else really. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac giving them a spiritual, almost not their quality.  They don't like large groups typically prefer smaller social gatherings. When a Venus in Pisces love you they don't have boundary (you literally can't make this shit up it's literally the astrological embodiment of "It's always yes with you") they love you wholeheartedly and when it's just the two of you it's just two souls alone in an endless universe. If this sounds like an Andriel kiss scene then good because that's the vibe Pisces energy just gives off when they're MAKING YOUR DAMN HEART MELT WHAT THE HELL!!! So like most water signs THE SAVIOR COMPLEX IS REAL WITH THIS ONE!!! Neil values sacrifice and he rather be hurt then let someone else get hurt (*cough* running away to Evermore for Andrew *cough*). Pieces  will see you as your best self and likes to imagine you as your best self (Kevin and Neil both want Andrew to achieve his full potential in Exy). Venus really likes it in Pisces so pisces people are wholehearted in how they love. Basically they will love you with their entire soul and it will feel like a real life pipe dream. The only thing that can shatter this is when the other person tries to sabotage themself and their highest potential. Pisces wants the best for everyone and it hurts them to see other people not reach their fullest self. This is why that scene in TKM where Neil felt really hurt after Andrew didn't want to celebrate after winning the game and belittled Exy ment to much. More mushy gushy stuff, they believe in true love. They don't need to talk in order to feel that love. They rather just feel your souls connect on a higher level.

Mars: Sagittarius

So your Mars is akin to your Id. It's base animalistic desires. The things that make you tick. Sagittarius being the mutable fire sign is more mellow than your leos or aries. Sagittarius likes experiences. They tend to travel a lot and enjoy travel and experiencing new things. This sign is known for having commitment issues (being ruled by Jupiter) and likes to run from shit. This placement hates people who don't practice what they preach and hates to feel like they're being talked down to. They really want to try new things with you, be it traveling to new places or trying stuff out in the bedroom. Speaking of which… I mean they will try anything once. Definitely adrenaline junkies. The sign most likely to be down for a threesome. Also associated with the hips and thighs so definitely an ass man 

Damn that's really where i'm ending it. Here's his chart if you're curious...K bye
