YES!! This Was Absotutely Done On Purpose And Explains His Character In A Neat Kind Of Way, Like How

YES!! This was absotutely done on purpose and explains his character in a neat kind of way, like how he's inherently by your side from the very beggining + it's really telling of how summoner was always intended to be polaris in some way

There's also some other cool little astronomy connections which I find cute like how the arcturus star is known for it's orange hue bc of it's temperature (hence an orange boi <3)

^^as well as this maybe being a stretch but maybe explaining his actions on the 12th floor yk 🤔

For sirius I also found out why he's so sparkly and 🌈💅✨️

^^^LIKE IS THIS NOT ADORABLE????

There's also pollux and his twin castor . just look at their constellation it's literally two stick figures holding hands it's great 😭

AND

FOR THE VEGA FANS LOOK I LITERALLY FIND THIS SO INTERESTING !!!!

As a hadestown fan™ I made this connection a while ago but I didn't how much his story line was inspired until I found this

....The connection that vega has to the summoner through their past as childhood friends was inspired by the greek mythological story of Orpheus and Eurydice

(((In lots of other iterations of this story, orpheus turns around not because of a simple misunderstanding but more for his inherit axiety in leaving behind his loved one! Example below!)))

12th floor spoiler? vv

Since we know now that the summoner had turned around as a reaction to Vega's hand slipping (and therfore vega staying back at Boundry) THIS POOR MAN IS BERIEVED WITH GUILT AND CONFUSSION!! HIS FEELINGS OF BEING ABANDONED ARE BACKFIRING ON HIM SOMEONE GIVE HIM A HUG!!

Ok and just one more thing .

VEGA TRAILS AROUND POLARIS

DO YOU HEAR ME

THE SYMBOLISM

HIS SUBTLE CLINGY CHARACTERIZATION

DO YOU HEAR ME‼️‼️

Ok I'm done and anyways I need to do a reread because I've realized how much I've forgoten lore if anyone has any other cool astronomy connections I'm all ears 😊

Arcturus, α Boötis // Ivan Kuznetcov

The name Arcturus comes from the Greek word Arktouros, meaning "guardian of the bear," an origin its constellation, Boötes, also shares.
