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.

This was really interesting (and I loved your set!)! I don't really know much about the signs and how they play into personality (except that I'm a Libra so I tend to laugh about how most aspects of that sign don't fit for me, lolz)...so I found this really interesting! It was neat to see why you picked the characters you did. XD

Lol yeah, astrology is very hit-or-miss. And when it IS accurate, I have to wonder if it's because people are expecting it to be accurate and say something about them. Anyway, thanks for reading! :D

That challenge seems really fun, I think i might try it someday if I end up coming up with an idea, and I look forward to your posts, also.

I think I would agree with you on Jessie, from what I remember of her. Maybe Tinker Bell also but if not only because I can't see her fitting any other signs. I can see a little bit of Scorpio in her more negative traits but not when it comes to her character overall.

I can see why you had problems with these, now that I think about it, I am not sure what I'd give any of them but maybe Pocahontas. I have always thought she is more like Aries, personally but again, I don't exactly view her the same way in the sequel so it consider her sequel personality since I didn't like how she changed. For Mulan I myself am thinking between Aries and Aquarius? I think I would be leaning a little more towards the latter one as I think Aries might be a little too extreme for her, in a way? Mulan is brave and all but on the other hand, she is more of the calm and introverted type otherwise. Though it's funny you mentioned Belle. When I saw your post, I actually wondered where I would have put Belle and couldn't decide on it. In the end I think I like your final choice the most. In fact I think you're pretty good at categorizing characters into the signs. I, on the other hand,am not so good at it.
One thing I noticed is how little of the main females fit for a Scorpio or Capricorn (or at least taking into the account the ones I thought of/could remember). I am a Scorpio and I think Capricorn fits me a lot also so I was a little disappointed when I thought about it.

Thanks, glad you liked the posts. :)

And yeah, I agree about Tinker Bell and the negative Scorpio traits.

And yeah, I also agree with your analysis of Mulan -- she is brave and warrior-y but also very calm and introverted and also sort of indecisive too. She's not the kind of person that goes "I want to do THIS right now! I made up my mind!" She's more like "Oh, you want me to do that? Okay I'll give it a shot..."

Lol thanks, I'm good at being opinionated I guess. XD

Yeah, I think you're right. I had trouble finding Scorpio and Capricorns -- I guess they're not very ~traditionally princessy~ personalities, you know? Scorpios are too intense and Capricorns are too pragmatic and ambitious. :(
