Birthdays!
So this is one of those little trivial, sort of nitpicky kinds of things I've been thinking a lot about since I started this. I kind of have a thing for birthdays, I don't even really know why, but I love knowing when fictional characters' birthdays are. I guess it makes them a little more real? In any case, I hope you guys enjoy this little bit of trivia XD
Alex - January 13, 2022 (Capricorn)
Sam - February 12, 2000 (Aquarius)
Emily - February 28, 2007 (Pisces)
Nathan - March 12, 2006 (Pisces)
Lily - April 10, 2034 (Aries)
April - April 24, 2030 (Taurus)
Penny - July 31, 2031 (Leo)
Whitman - September 3, 2022 (Virgo)
bb!Sam - October 18, 2062 (Libra)
Simon - November 18, 2028 (Scorpio)
Evan - December 1, 2031 (Sagittarius)
Harrison - December 22, 2011 (Capricorn)
As you can see, technically speaking, a few of these characters exist among us right now XD Sam is 10, Nathan is 4, and Emily is 3. I kind of want to squish their wee selves XD
April's birthday was the very first one I came up with, and has been in my head the longest. (It may or may not also be the day after mine... >_> XD) Knowing what we know about April's parents, I always imagined that her mother wasn't quite creative enough to come up with an original name for April, so she just named her after the month in which she was born.
Sam and Nathan's birthdays are sort of an in-joke. Alan and Gary's birthdays are a month apart, February 21 and March 21, so I thought it would be fun to do the same with Sam and Nathan, and just transpose the numbers.
We thought it would be fitting for Harrison's birthday to basically be the day the world ended, which kind of sucked at the time, but then again he was only a year old, so it's not like he really remembers it. We just thought it seemed appropriate for the man who's trying to save the world to have a birthday on the day it basically ended.
As for the rest of the characters, they all just sort of came to me, so there really isn't a special meaning behind theirs XD
And if you've noticed, today (November 18) is Simon's birthday, even though he doesn't technically exist yet, but no matter. Happy birthday, Simon XD
