i was wonder if you had any thoughts on type 1s vs type 5s? because i recently starting delving into enneagram stuff and when i took the test i got type 1 with type 5 following closely behind. do you have any advice as to how to figure out which one i am? thank you ^_^

One vs. Five In a fight? A One could take me out easily, I wouldn’t stand a chance /j

This page has some good info about the difference between the two types, which might help break the tie. (Here’s a shorter one too.) Type One is still kind of a blindspot for me in the sense that I get it but I feel like the way I get it is too shallow to be able to speak on it well. There’s a lot of quirks to it that exist outside of the ‘perfectionist’ stereotype, and I haven’t been able to get a good read on what the mechanics are that underly them. I’ve also known some Fives to have a perfectionist edge to them so the question ‘are you a perfectionist’ won’t cut it.

Another thing to keep an eye on is the Growth / Disintegration arrows—Five goes to Seven under stress and Eight when integrating, while One goes to Four under stress and Seven while integrating. That sounds like a whole lot of nothing to most people, but a different way to put it is One moving to unplanned positive stimulus-seeking is a good time and a sign of growth, for Fives it can be a bit of a nervous impulse and a sign that something is going out of control. (It’s not that enjoying things is bad for Fives, Eight integration can give a lot of focused or spontaneous passion, it’s embodying the frantic escapism of the Seven where things get sketchy.) Basically being more like a Seven is positive in the case of Ones but a red flag in Fives.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

(Miniature) couch restoration

I found this couch ( with a bunch of other things I didn't care about) for 2$ at a second hand store

Finding dollhouse miniatures is kind of rare around here so I grabbed it, I thought at worst it would be a cheap MDF off of AliExpress or something and I could repaint it, but once I scraped a bit of the paint off I was pleasantly surprised to find a nice wood finish!

There was at least 3 to 4 layers of paint through (⁠‘⁠◉⁠⌓⁠◉⁠’⁠) (white, gray, maybe white again and finally pink)

Out of curiosity I pried up the fabric which was obviously not the original, to find another unoriginal fabric and pried that up too and that was still not the original 🤣 matroshka doll of upholstery

After huffing 99% alcohol and paint brush cleaner for probably 5 or so hours I ended up with this

I left the back and seat of the couch rough as it would be covered in fabric anyway, it looks like that maybe at some point this got sanded in a few spots? I fixed it up by finally using my furniture repair markers as intended (mostly I don't think they had mini furniture in mind)

You can see on the left half where I tried different colours to see what would match best

Now new upholstery! I only had the original couch cushion seat so I decided to just redo the whole thing in silk of corse (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧

I wanted it to look a little worn so I picked this really textured blueish green/cream dupini silk

From barbie would be embarrassed to have this in her house to Victorian centerpiece! Or well I would like to think so ;;;
