Okay we are a week out from Can*Con and something finally clicked in my brain that it's happening and so I'm finally getting excited about it lmao

Apparently it was Apollo 13 but the more fun answer is that Batman Forever was #3 and that seems way more indicative of who I am as a person tbh

Sure I'm an Apollo 13 Sun but a Casper Moon and a Batman Forever Rising

i think we should just do horoscopes based on what the number one movie at the box office was the day we were born, it seems more scientifically rigorous

I specifically enjoy her music for when I'm writing characters who are dramatic in ways that I cannot personally relate to, it sets the mood very well lol

Right?? It was just such a shock of “oh this is not ME” that I think I had been able to dodge by dressing like myself most of the time 😅
