much in the same way your proportions are overwhelmed with the eleven pairs of pink, fleshy appendages protruding from your terrifying face, the other eleven zodiac animals are similarly overwhelmed with envy of your mad skills, star-nosed mole.
you have the unique ability to make others feel uncomfortable with just a brief glance at both 1) what looks eerily like a bouquet of misshapen sexual organs protruding from your face and 2) your oversized, naily claws designed to move all other earth-dwelling creatures and dirt out of your way at record speed.
