i've been trying to reply to your post about Oiks being a cancer, but tumblr is being dumb right now so here's a message! not that i have a ton to say but: i'm a cancer too and i was also thrilled to find out that he was! i'm so happy he's a cancer bro with cancer traits that are so relatable. i can't think of any other cancer characters off the top of my head...
aahhh yeah :D the only one I can think of is the other one I mentioned in that post, Adam from The Raven Cycle. I tend not to pay attention to characters’ signs though, so it’s possible there are other cancers in my fandoms and I’ve just never realized it?
Anyway though, yeah when I started thinking about cancer traits they actually DO fit Oikawa. He can be very moody, he has an outer shell that you have to get past before you can get to know his soft gooey center, and his intuition for people, while it comes from analyzing people rather than what i usually think of as ‘intuition,’ is super solid.
But also like, cancers are never described as being able to stand up for themselves, or even having the capability to be mean or cutting or competitive or vicious, so it’s great that he gets to be all those things, too! Oikawa Tooru: legit contains multitudes.
