Day 31: Jang Gye-hyang!
Jang Gye-hyang was born into a noble Korean family during the Joseon Dynasty. Her father, a prominent Neo-Confucian scholar, allowed his young daughter to sit in while he was teaching students; soon, she was sneaking into his study to read philosophy texts, and became a gifted poet as well.
Her parents arranged a marriage for Gye-hyang to a widowed family acquaintance; he and Gye-hyang would have seven children, and she was also a devoted stepmother to his two elder children. They settled into a small estate in the mountains. She was noted for her compassion - housing refugees during the 1636 Qing invasion, and planting orchards to feed the poor.
As she aged, Gye-hyang compiled favorite recipes into a cookbook - possibly the first cookbook ever written in Korea's Hangul script. Chinese characters were still the script of choice for academic works in Korea, but Hangul, developed in the 1400s and then banned by several succeeding kings, was undergoing a renaissance. Gye-hyang was a skilled Hangul calligrapher, and the script was the obvious choice for a book meant to be handed down in her family.
Gye-hyang died in 1680, a respected matriarch. Centuries later, her book, the Eumsik Dimibang, was rediscovered. Its recipes, including not only ingredients but detailed cooking instructions, proved a valuable insight into the history of Korean food - and an opportunity for twentieth and twenty-first century cooks to enjoy Joseon cuisine.

R.L. Stine never included divorce, drug use, or child abuse in his Goosebumps books because he wanted to make sure that kids understood they were reading a fantasy that could never happen in real life.

Hi Charity, do you have an example of what narcissism looks like for each of the enneagram types?
I started talking about this with a friend who loves to study this kind of thing, and then we got to talking about other things, so I hope you appreciate how much scrolling I had to do in a tiny chat box to find what she had to say about it. ;)
"There are different types of narcissism, but I'll list the four main ones: overt, covert, somatic and cerebral. I think each of the nine types can fit into one (or more) of these categories.
The overt/somatic narcissists (basically the extroverted and focused on superficial attributes like beauty and wealth) are mainly 3s, 7s or 8s. But I believe you will find a lot of covert (basically the introverted and "woe is me" type who is intensely envious and generally appears as pitiable) and cerebral narcs amongst 4s and 5s, perhaps 1s as well. A cerebral narcissist means someone who finds pleasure in imagining themselves mentally superior to others. There is a sub-category of this that focuses more on moral superiority than raw intellectual ability, and they're usually some type of ideologue who wants everyone to know just how selfless, generous and "pure" they are."
She did not bring up 2s, 6s, or 9s, but I assume the 2 might fit into somatic (vanity, pride, attention-grabbing through their body as an image type), the 9 would be either somatic (body-emphasis) or cerebral (if focused on the mental nature of 9), and the 6 would fall into cerebral (attempting to impress you with their intellect).
Character-wise, we agreed that Frollo in Hunchback is a 1 narcissist, and the Cardinal in The Musketeers (BBC) is a 3 narcissist. The main character in Amadeus might be a covert narcissist (I think he's a 4?). Sherlock might be a good candidate for the 5 narcissist. I'm not sure about the rest; I'd have to think about and discuss it more.

“leave. i’ll tell everyone you died in the woods” and kinn’s ex, being alive, despite the fact that everyone else thinks he’s dead … the implications
porsche feeling like a replacement. like the only reason kinn is keeping him around is because he reminds him of his ‘dead’ ex … the angst potential

i think it's so funny how much some of the characters overestimate themselves.
kim thinks he is subtle and cool as hell with his investigating and his detective board behind a painting, while essentially the first thing he says to porchay is "SO YOUR BROTHER THEN", though the poor boy has never even mentioned him before, which makes even porchay think the whole conversation is a bit weird, despite being starstruck.
vegas thinks he is so smooth and manipulative, when he casually (not) drops the info about kinn shooting his ex, while he is laying all the shit he says about kinn so thick even an idiot with absolutely no context could see what's really going on.
korn thinks he is the most galaxy-brained boss slash father in the world with the way he forces kinn to fulfill his duty, while anyone with an ounce of foresight can see that forbidding kinn from having anything (or anyone) he loves and enjoys in his life is the fastest, shortest, and easiest road to make him abandon that duty for good.
they really think they are the smartest motherfuckers on earth, and it will be hilarious to see that leading to them tripping and falling on their faces.
