100 Disney Things [001]: Disney Astrology
100 Disney Things [001]
Kind of a copout, but my first post for this 100 Things challenge is my Disney astrology set complete with reasonings. And some extra Disney zodiac thoughts here:
• I was also considering Jessie and Atta for this set, but there were already three Pixar characters, so I decided to leave them out. But I considered Cancer for Jessie because she's very much about emotion and her connection with people, and she can be a bit anxious when she feels in danger especially the danger of losing someone. Atta I think is mostly Virgo with some Libra indecisiveness, maybe. She's sort of shy and lacking in confidence, but wants very badly to do everything just right and that causes her to be a little bit of a worrier. I think Elinor is a Virgo too, because she likes to control every little detail, she has an evaluating eye, she's well-mannered and calm, etc. (But I always knew that Merida would be the Brave representative in the set, so I didn't spend too much time thinking about Elinor).
• I also considered putting in Tinker Bell because she's a very iconic Disney character, but I decided against it because there was already Wendy and also because Tinker Bell's personality is just kind of hard to figure out in general. The best I could come up with was Aries because it works with Tinker Bell's impulsiveness and temper and also with her courage and heroic sacrifice. However, aside from that, she has sort of a vain/primping personality and I have no idea where that goes. And that's not even taking into account new!Tinker Bell, although I guess new!Tink might be a more clear-cut Aries.
• Belle, Pocahontas, Mulan, and Snow White gave me the most difficulties. When I came up with a "short list" of what signs they could be, I had six signs listed. :| For Belle, I think it's because there are moments where she's brave and impulsive, others when she's dreamy and distracted, others when she's practical and grounded, etc. It's hard for me to get a handle on her personality. For Pocahontas, it's this contrast between this wild, playful character in the first part of the movie, and this deep-thinking, emotional character in the second half that confuses me. For Mulan, I figured she's probably not a fixed sign, but other than that I was pretty lost. I think Aries, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius, and Pisces all fit aspects of her character. And Snow White is like... I dunno. She's cheerful and hopeful and sweet, but other than that it's like the rest of her character has to be filled in or interpreted.
Whew, that's pretty much it.
