normally i try to always give these clever titles. i have absolutely no idea why i named this “popping bottlecaps”
knights over compensate for their self perceived lack of aspect by getting balls deep into their aspect, surrounding themself in their aspect. they do that, but not enough that it would raise any red flags to anyone who they didnt let in, who they didnt trust enough to say “hey what do you think about how i do this? am i bad, good, okay? even half decent at it?” the kicker is, they dont trust anyone like that for a long LONG time.
Those bound to the aspect of Life are the universe’s healers. They are concerned with the betterment of themselves and those around them, as well as the onward march of positive progress. Deeply empathetic, they have an intuitive understanding of other’s suffering and the best way of righting those wrongs. If you’re poisoned, chances are the Life-bound have something for what ails ya. This applies to both physical and mental suffering, though it might not be a cure you’ll like. They also have the tendency to put other’s needs before their own, which never ends well for anyone, because the Life-bound can grow bitter if they feel their own self-care has had to be shunted aside. At their best, they are great listeners, caretakers, and nurturers. At their worst, the Life-bound are passive aggressive, and pushy-they’re certain they know best.
a knight of life is a go getter with charisma. if they were a dnd character, they would have minimum a +4 mod on charisma. people automatically like their attitude and energy. if someone were to look at this knight, theyd be like “yeah, this guy seems like they know what theyre doing in almost any social situation.” but in reality, this motherfucker got crippling social anxiety that they hide behind a very WELL put together front. after a big party where they were the shining star, they hide in the bathroom and cry. i mean ugly cry. motherfucker got snot dripping down their face while their head is in their hands and maybe a little bit of rocking back and forth while they over analyze every little thing they did. no one knows about their freak out, though. they did it behind closed doors after everyone at the party left. they didnt tell anyone a word of this meltdown. what happens in the locked bathroom at 2:27 am stays in that locked bathroom. this knight is a perfectionist. they could be getting so many pats on the back about this big project they made. say they have jut finished an animation project. everyone is telling them how wonderful it is, how fluid and beautiful the art is. but they remember the several panels that were rushed and look sketchy as fuck. yeah, its during the biggest motion in the whole project. but if someone were to pause at 32.3 seconds and started walking the animation frame by frame, they would see the shaky lines, the wobbly circles, the weird pen pressure thing when their pen was fucking up. and someone seeing those mistakes would be their undoing.
