Theory! Capsules=Zodiac?

[sonic3535]

So far we have four special-type capsules:
- Heart Capsule
- Note Capsule
- Keyhole Capsule
- Star Capsule

We also have twelve zodiac symbols:


Notice any similarities? Begin speculating!

:OOO

Oh my gosh.Maybe a...
Sun capsule for the Moon?

[LoganAura]

Admittedly, I do notice that there's <3 capsule and Star capsule, there's a more indirect connection to keyhole and note.

[arcaneScribbler]

Moon is 'Tides'. Might just be a Moon Capsule...

...Indirect? How is that indirect? The picture on the Door Card is a key. Also Note = Music Note = SONG. ^_^;

Heart Capsule =
Note Capsule =
Keyhole Capsule =
Star Capsule =

...Huh... HUH. This is iiinteresting. Also would mean that having the Star Zodiac might be somehow special.

[LoganAura]

Exactly.
Heart capsule, and a heart.
Star capsule, and a star.
BUT
Note capsule, and Song
and Keyhole capsule and Door.

While Heart and Star have the same name as the zodiac sign, the others are more tangentially connected to them than anything.

[CrimsonMage]

It would be kind of weird having a capsule shaped like a door. That would kind of just look like a rectangle. The keyhole is more distinguishable. Same with song, how do you create the shape of a song? Note is as close as you can get.

[LoganAura]

Good call

I've talked with tB about capsules to some extent, and while I didn't really learn anything new about the ones we have (sorry, Star Capsule is still a mystery), what I did learn is that there aren't as many different kinds of capsules you can have as humors or Zodiacs. With personality being determined by humor and 'destiny' being determined by Zodiac, there's not much left for the capsule to fill. There's probably one or two more types of capsules we've yet to encounter, but I seriously doubt there's one for each zodiac symbol.

[sonic3535]

Maybe so, but that doesn't prevent there being a significance about the capsules and their types. Maybe matching a capsule with its zodiac in a character will do something spectacular! Or maybe they'd dull each other, I dunno. I just feel like there's gotta be something there!

[truebug]

I didn't design the capsules with the zodiac signs in mind at all. :I

There is an undiscovered bonus to some of them, but it doesn't involve the zodiac!

[sonic3535]

Well there's always the opportunity of pre-retconning to make the connection.

I suppose any story will have accidental connections and symbolism. Homestuck's plot numbers make awesome symbols on accident all the time!

[Dreamscythes231]

So..........................mushroom capsule?

[arcaneScribbler]

...I snickered SO evilly at that, Dreamscythe, it isn't even funny. ^_^;

[Zylo]

My Fan character has a Coin capsule, but I added that before we even knew what Capsules were. (crosses fingers for canonization)

[Dreamscythes231]

Exactly what does coin do to the humor it contains?

[LoganAura]

Maybe it makes the person value the traits inside it?

[Zylo]

Maybe it makes the person value the traits inside it?

That would make sense. Is there a fan Capsule thread? If not there needs to be.

[LoganAura]

I was going to make one, but the thing is that'd be extremely fan-only. With a warning lable that says "Do not use any of these capsules in your characters unless you simply have a edited Standard."
