>>35819859The thing is, there's thousands of different possible "patterns" the human mind can trick itself into seeing. It'd be weird for the starters not to resemble at least one of them. The fact that they don't exactly fit the zodiac is just more proof that it's one of those accidental patterns. If GF wanted to do a zodiac theme, why pick mons that clearly don't fit? If you resort to "well, they're in the same family, so it counts" then you're not trying to fit the pattern to the mons anymore, you're just trying to move the goalposts so the pattern still fits. It's a very human thing to do. We like patterns, so we'd rather pretend that there are patterns all around us. Because patterns are safe and predictable. And because they give you something to argue over on a Weebanese quidditch enthusiast forum.
