nine characters that i relate to

[kradeelav]

• edna (incredibles) - IRL wise probably the most accurate. Above All Rules as a designer, does not put up with an iota of bullshit and is a 1:1 with actual physical size. Will occasionally respect common sense and a good dash of Design.
• walon vau (republic commando, SW:EU) - sarcastic charming bitch of a motherfucker with a few wires crossed. capricorn in a way that pleases my inner drill sgt of a work ethic. we're both deeply cynical misanthropes behind the mask, with a few other nameless things in common.
• sanaki (fe9/10) - smol but Powerful(tm). has an accidental Thing for ordering around villains naesala, lehran. occasionally a derp but means well.

• violet evergarden (violet evergarden)- not on an ~*aesthetic*~ level that matches the rest of the list, maybe but mannn there was a reason why I bawled over that show. another one of those 'gone through the fire and was kind of not expecting to make it out and trying to Deal With That gracefully' ones.
• toph (avatar) - kind of a 'fuck your rules, imma build my WAR SHIP on the ruins of your empire' tomboy 'tude to everything, maybe totally a little bit of a deliberate overcompensation for people thinking they can shove somebody with a glitchy meatbag into a corner to behave like a good girl. likes awesome fight scenes and metal (as an element).
• luna lovegood (HP) - quintessentially, disarmingly, terrifyingly pisces. 

• alucard (hellsing) - deeply fucked up sassy power bottom that loves guns. natch.
• mcleach (disney) - loves monster trucks (or whatever the fuck he drives), dramatics, and being a dramatic misanthrope. sometimes you have want a pet lizard that eats all of your god damned EAGLE EGGS. all is right with the world. (okay, but like, actually truthfully: he's always had a fun simplicity and self-satisfaction that I 've never been able to put my finger on. I can see him running around happily poaching if the whole plot had never happened, he's not prone to cartoonish levels of self-ruination like the other disney villains which is neat. I suppose I relate myself to that merry flamboyant independence on some level, there's a reason that icon's stayed there.) 
• my heart says yui ikari but my brain says rei ayamani (NGE) - my past, uhhh, experiences are probably most like rei's out of anyone's on this list (plus the whole 'extremely weird relationship with Existing and Death at the Use of others'), but i find an aries sort of soul in Yui behind that mask that she's kept on for so many years. I may not have her focus to bring a plan to fruition so brilliantly, but I see the fire and drive.

What a great array of characters, heheheh. I'm only familiar with a handful, but even with what little I know of you through your posts I was nodding along like "huh, that checks out." I don't know much about astrology but describing characters in that way sounds fun, kind of like how I use the enneagram. LOL

Also feeling you on Violet Evergarden — I binged all of it over two days last week and similarly teared up at least a little every episode. Violet learning how to feel / how to process emotions, discovering her own loneliness and guilt, and burning up because she was hit with everything at once was... oof. Ow. Something I've also gone through. It was wildly enjoyable, though. :'D

Oh that's so cool, that you watched Violet Evergarden recently. :D ! Surprisingly feelsy, right? I was shocked that it was such a ... can I say moeblob bait? sort of anime that had real feeling and nuance behind it - the body language animation alone feels like it did a lot of the heavy lifting there.

(Heheh glad you liked the list of characters too. :D )
