#birthday speculation

[florawriting]

Little rant post but Why The Hack does the DCEU Fandom wiki state that Freddy’s birthday falls in December?!

If you go to the wiki now it states that Freddy’s date of birth falls in December 2004. I agree with the 2004 part, it is a simple math equation when you realize that the first movie takes place at the tail end of 2018 and Freddy and Billy are both 14. 2018-14 = 2004.

But to get to the December month you have to jump though too many hoops in my opinion. Quick show of my math. Freddy states that he is a month younger than Billy in FOTG. Mary states that Billy is aging out of the system in 5 months. FOTG takes place in May (We know it takes place after April, but it is still spring, which makes it fall into May. Allegedly we also see that it is May on Freddy’s phone, but I haven’t personally found said evidence yet.).

If Billy ages out of the system in 5 months, and it is currently May, then Billy’s birthday falls in October. Meaning that, if Freddy is a month younger, he would fall in November. Not December.

So ether, they have Billy’s birthday wrong and he is from November (which could make sense if FOTG falls in end May), or Freddy’s birthday is wrong as December is clearly two months away from October. That, or Billy’s birthday is actually at the end of October and Freddy says he is a month younger while it is more so a month and a week so he would fall in begin December, which somehow, I find the least likely one of the three.

But I do kinda get it, the third of December is the international day of the disabled people after all. If he was from November, he might have had his birthday on international toilet day or something.

All of this is to say that I still chose the third of December 2004 as the birthdate of Freddy in my file of Tomodatchi life, living the dream. Even if I think it isn’t true. Yes, even I could not ignore the cruel irony.

Mo Xuanyu's Birthday???

So, I realized just now that there is no confirmed birthday for my precious baby Mo Xuanyu. This is an outrage, how dare the mdzs powers that be.

But, I propose we give him a birthday. Now, stay with me here cause I'm gonna do some Sherlock Holmes-level sleuthing.

Ok, so according to this timeline, Mo Xuanyu was born around the time Wei Wuxian was brought into the Jiang Sect.

Now, if we look at the donghua, we get this scene, where Jiang Fengmian holds out his hand to young Wei Ying and takes him off the streets

(Ignore the words, I got this off google cause it wouldn't give me good pictures for some reason)

Now, this is a screenshot from that scene. Notice anything?

It's snowing.

That means it's most likely winter, though it could also be early spring or late autumn. But for the purposes of this, we will assume it is winter.

So, because Wei Wuxian was taken in during the winter, and Mo Xuanyu was born around the same time, I think it's safe to say Mo Xuanyu is a winter baby.

This, obviously, gives us a lot of dates to choose from, but I've done ✨research✨ 

According to modern data (there are no specific records about snowfall from the Hubei province (where Yilling was) from the rough timeline when mdzs occurs (222 AD-589 AD)), snowfall generally occurs in the Hubei Province in China during January and February.

This... still leaves a lot of dates to choose from, but I suggest January 26.

Why, you ask? Well, Mo Xuanyu was around 26 when he died, and I think this provides a bit of poetic tragedy to his character. He only lived to be the same number as his birthday.

And now I'm sad. Thanks brain.

If you need me, I will be celebrating Mo Xuanyu's birthday on January 26th Goodbye.

(If anyone does know his canon birthday and I apparently wasn't looking hard enough, tell me in the comments so I can get cake and more merch than any human being needs.)
