Re: Zodiac Theories?

by **Todd Ingram** Wed Apr 17, 2013 12:46 pm

Thanks! I've written a lot of poetry for English classes I've taken, and to hear stuff like that means a lot.

Also..

The Burden of Leaf is to wander and roam
To be at your best, even far, far from home
Let the wind fill your sails as you look for a perch
So what do you do?

Settle or Search?

Because you asked~

Gosh darnit your wonderful little stanzas are tempting me to switch Punelipi's zodiac from Leaf to Bond (then again, just because she has Leaf markings doesn't mean it has to be her sign~) because it suits my current ideas for her and Jabbers so well. This is equally wonderful~-- whoops it's almost time for class. Will probably be idle for the next hour. (also I think this post just made me Rank Up.)

Congratulations on the Rank Up! (cue Pokemon Ranger Music)

Gestalt seems to have most of them figured out/written already, but hey, poems are fun!

Indeed they are! Very Happy

So so far we have

Light: Descend or Disperse
Wall: Defend or Blockade
Star: Devote or Defy
Song: Despair or Have Hope
Flower: Open or Close
Mystery: Reveal or Hide
Bond: Connect or Conserve
Leaf: Settle or Search
Tide: Ebb or Flow

What about the other Zodiac? I'm thinking of...

The burden of Tide is to ebb and to flow
To travel the land and to go on with the show.
But like water on gravel, the ocean does tax.
So what do you do?
Wane or Wax

I kinda feel like "ebb or flow" would work better as the Choice Pair than wane or wax... Because waxing and waning is all up to the moon; the tides are controlled by that rather than vice versa...

I thank Wax or Wane works better.

So:

The Burden of Tide is to rise and to fall.
To respond to the Moon's sweet siren call,
But which way, and how quick do you go?
So what do you do?
Ebb or Flow

Wow, these are both wonderful! Very Happy

I can't decide which I like better...

by Eversor Wed Apr 17, 2013 2:42 pm

I sorta agree with arcane...Waning and Waxing is a moon-reference, ebb and flow is much more fitting.

by LoganAura Wed Apr 17, 2013 3:07 pm

Eh, I prefer the ebb and flow myself. *Goes to add it*

by Dreamscythes231 Wed Apr 17, 2013 3:13 pm

Suddenly a challenger appears.

The burden of Heart is filled with indecision
To follow a path without any precision
But follow your Head or indulge in the Heart
So what do you do?
Stay or Part?

The burden of Life is to give without receiving
Give way too much and you might end up grieving
But how can you just not share Life's simple joy.
So what do you do?
Create or Destroy

(Not really sure about this one...)

The burden of Door is to hide lock and key
To be kept many secrets no mortal can see
But knowing too much you might end up in a knot
So what do you do?
Unfold or Shut

by Captain Combusken Wed Apr 17, 2013 5:00 pm

I'm not particularly good at this, but is there one for being a hero? Like, being a saviour of the world?

by CrimsonMage Wed Apr 17, 2013 6:32 pm

I want to do my own Door theory.

The burden of Door is the open the path.
To show others the way while creating no wrath.
One must be careful to not follow the norm.
So what do you do?
Compel or Conform?

Hah, I wrote that one 8D

Glad you like it!

by Shailsnic Wed Apr 17, 2013 11:52 pm

"Like it" is an understatement trueBug.

In any case, I think I'll try my hand at one of these later tomorrow. I'm pretty good at poetry so I think I could come up with something. Not right now though considering it's kinda late and my focusing time is anytime before 3:00

by Dreamscythes231 Thu Apr 18, 2013 1:19 am

Wait, try again for Life.

The burden of Life is to grow and to grow
to rise up above where they have been sowed
But the times always change like the unforeseen weather
So what do you do?
Escape or Fetter

by poizaz Thu Apr 18, 2013 2:20 am

I really like all this poetry. I'm not a poet, however, so I can't contribute.

by **Todd Ingram** Thu Apr 18, 2013 9:58 am

The burden of Love is to search for the one
That one who's the moon to your brilliant sun
It's hard to determine when you've found your catch
So what do you do?

Devote or Detach?

by Shailsnic Thu Apr 18, 2013 10:40 am

The burden of Song is to set the scene
To play a tune, one that's ever so clean
Even a song can't always give color to gray
So what do you do?

Listen or Play?

(I can't make it look better than this with the device I'm using.)

by LoganAura Thu Apr 18, 2013 10:42 am

I like how the theories have turned into just writing possible poems. Not that I'm complaining XD

but stepping away from the quill and scrolls for a moment, what exactly denotes the sign someone was given? Is it the time of year, or what?

by Shailsnic Thu Apr 18, 2013 10:45 am

Well the signs are based off of Constellations I'm pretty sure, so probably the time of the year.

I think there are specifics somewhere on gS's DA, if I wasn't at school and/or DA wasn't blocked where I am I could easily check.

Then again, things are bound to change, so the information there is probably wrong since it's outdated.

by LoganAura Thu Apr 18, 2013 10:49 am

Yeah, he even says it in the description of the picture that it is.
Life (Mushroom) Love (Heart) Light (Shine) Joy (Flower) - Solar Signs
Wall (Koopa Shell) Disovery (Message Block) Unseen (Cloud) Venture (Coin)- Lunar Signs
Star (Star) Journey (Mountains) Bond (Egg) Secret (Treasure Chest)- Stellar Signs.

So it's EXTREELY outdated.

by Shailsnic Thu Apr 18, 2013 10:51 am

Figured as much.
