#I know he ends up being the main villian but please make him like Luke Castellan and sympathetic.

The absolute Loki slander in The Sword of Summer when he hasnt even done anything (yet) is hilarious to me.

Everyone is absolutely bullying this poor lad and he's just sitting there eating his purple pop tarts and talking to Magnus.

Gunilla: Loki and his spawn are pure evil and want to cause Ragnarok.

Samirah: My father is evil and i hate him.

Odin: Loki is not to be trusted he is pure evil! and manipulative and wants to start Ragnarok!

Meanwhile Loki: *eating poptarts and sitting on odin's throne* I dont wanna start Ragnarok, im having too much fun, you should probably not bring the sword to the place where its fated to start Ragnarok, bud. You should leave it with your uncle who is a Viking nerd and would probably love it. Also fuck the gods, they suck. Also i like you Magnus, youre funny :)

So this:

(From Hammer of Thor) was just uneeded.

(also funfact we dont actually know what Loki is the god of. The fire giant thing was him being mixed up with Logi, a fire giant/god)

The worst thing he does in the first book is hold Rudolph's—Randolph fuck, whatever his name is— family hostage and burn him. But Magnus doesn't know that yet so theres not any reason for him to be hostile, infact Magnus has littarly expressed feeling sorry for Loki when Loki tells him about his punishment.

Also how is Thor the first, and likely only god to say that Loki isn't pure evil

Analyzing the INFP Villian: Kylo Ren/Ben Solo

As an INFP myself, I know how common it is for my type to be stereotyped as naïve, illogical, and always optimistic.

Literally every MBTI video I’ve seen on YouTube shows INFPs as “oh my gosh I love everyone, I love flowers and rainbows, I’m a hopeless romantic, I love staying home and reading books and never talking to people… lolololol”

Which is all either very untrue or very exaggerated

It’s honestly so amazing that we have an INFP villain in a mainstream movie franchise now.

So, why do I think Kylo Ren is an INFP? He exhibits all the INFP cofnitive functions.

INFP’s functions are Fi-Ne-Si-Te

Fi is the primary function, and it represents a moral code(what’s right and wrong, and specifically how they’ve been wronged), personal beliefs(how the world should be), and how the person identifies themselves.

Because Kylo was manipulated and abused by Snoke and his family neglected and thought the worst of him, his Fi is very twisted. Kylo believes that evil is right because Snoke rewarded him with power and praise whenever he did his bidding. Kylo believes good is wrong because his “good” uncle almost killed him and didn’t support him in his darkest moments, and Han and Leia were probably too busy with their smuggling and political affairs to give him the love he needed. He learned quickly that identifying with the dark guaranteed him a place in the world, even though he couldn’t live up to the legacy of Vader.

Ne is the secondary function, and it represents wanting to find meaning, purpose, intentions, and connections.

Kylo’s main quest in his character arc is to find belonging. He wants to connect with others who have similar motives. He couldn’t find that with his family or at Luke’s Jedi academy, he tried to find it with Snoke, and he found it with Rey. When Snoke controlled all his actions, he found purpose in his ability to please him. When Kylo killed Snoke, his connection with Rey became most important and he found meaning in fighting with and relating to her.

Fi and Ne go hand in hand when it comes to beliefs lining up with intentions. When Kylo’s beliefs don’t align with his intentions, he has to change one of them to avoid the cognitive dissonance. In The Force Awakens, Kylo believes he’ll only find peace through killing his father, even though he didn’t originally intend on doing so. He has to change his intentions to align with his beliefs though, so he ends up killing him. But in The Last Jedi, Snoke points out that that decision tore Kylo apart even more, suggesting that his beliefs were now conflicting with the action: he realizes his action didn’t actually bring him peace. Later on, he finds peace with Rey, but he screws it up because he wasn’t sensitive to her intentions to save the Resistance.

Si and Te are Kylo’s tertiary and inferior functions, Si represents the need for details and evidence, and Te represents the need to be right and make judgements about the world. Even for healthy and mentally stable INFPs, these functions aren’t developed nearly as much as Fi and Ne. For someone with as many emotional issues as Kylo Ren, as you can imagine, these functions are even less developed.

Kylo’s focuses on his past experiences as the evidence his Si needs, and he doesn’t explore much else. His Te makes judgements based on this small amount of information and he believes his conclusions are always right.

Exploring the dark side of INFPs: why does he make such a great and complex villain/anti-hero?

I’ve always connected and sympathized with him, I feel his pain more than any other villain I’ve seen on screen.

I feel like my flaws are exaggerated through him, quick to anger(his tantrums), selfishness/being self-absorbed(him expecting everyone to feel the way he feels, and ignoring others’ needs in favor of my own(not caring about the map in favor of the girl, not caring about Hux and Snoke’s opinions, not helping the fleet because he wants Rey to join him)

People assume that INFPs are innocent and couldn’t hurt a fly, but that is so far from the truth. When we feel hurt, we want to make the people who hurt us pay.

I’m not saying I or any other INFP is a villian, or has committed as many atrocities as Kylo Ren, but I am saying than we all could. We all have the capability.

And the opposite goes as well, Kylo Ren has the capability and opportunity to redeem himself and reach his full potential as a human being. Hope is never lost, even when everything about you appears to be out of control.

Thank you for reading! Comments, conversation, and feedback are always appreciated, I’m always looking to learn more about MBTI and how I can be better at explaining it!

"Please, Belle," Belle could not help but stop though Gaston had no firm hold on her, his calloused hands were hardly touching her at all. No, it was his voice and his eyes, both of them were quiet and soft and there was a silent pleading. "Some of us have changed." His voice was low as if he dare not raise his voice in the quiet corner of the village for fear she would pull away comepletely. Belle did not know what to say, words dying on her lips as she stared up at Gaston's worried expression. Was it possible for someone to change so much? Something I probably won't finish. I used another photo (not of Emma or Luke, though there were lots of references used) as a base to start this, judge me all you will. Oh GEEZE. Disney! C'mon. Don't do this to me, UGH! 2017 Beauty and the Beast: I didn't have high hopes for this film, and while I don't hate it or love it, I am just SADDENED by it for 2 reasons. 1. The costumes for Belle. 2. The script/director. The movie itself had so much potential, oh my word, this could have been REALLY good. Like, good, ya know? But this movie suffers from one big flaw- they sat in the middle. They could have done the movie as a complete frame by frame recreation of the 1991 movie and okay, that would have been alright. Or they could have made their own story, added new elements and turns, and that would have been memorable. The biggest problem? They took both ideas and mushed it together and it tears this movie to pieces. I look at this and I just feel SAD for all that could have been! There was a lot of effort put into this and it's always sad to see that someones vision was hindered. The main cast (I feel) was casted correctly, the reason some of their performances seem awkward of bland seems to be due to the checklist of things that this movie was trying to check off. Belle needs to stand out- make her look like a cosplay character. Which, okay, fine! Do that, BUT DO THAT WITH ALL THE CHARACTERS- Emma would have seemed even more spunky and brave if they had MADE HER LOOK like she actually BELONGED in the world, not the VILLAGE, THE WORLD, I get that she is an outcast but not even giving her some sort of head covering when EVERY OTHER WOMAN/CHILD has something is just...dumb! Like, if you hate it so much she could have lost it halfway through with that wolf scuffle or something, which by losing that it would have also removed another barrier between her and Beast like he can finally -see- her differently instead of a peasant girl, and that it is also showing her "shedding" her connection to the village and being more herself. BAM! And okay, fine, don't give her a hat at all but AT THE END OF THE MOVIE she is now ROYALTY and EVERYONE is wearing a WIG- Adam too! But her? OH, NOPE. GAAAAAAAH! The Beast was meh, like...there isn't to much you can do with him? I feel like they should have had more moments of connections with him and Belle- And I don't mean that whole 'Paris' 'Magic Book' stuff or whatnot, I mean like SHOW them having actual dialog that FITS with that era. His character checklist consisted of two things; 1. He's mean 2. He's well animated! ...Whoopdee do. I like Maurice. I like Belle's interactions with him. I don't get why the mom thing was a big deal, my sister and I were just like...but why? Why have this? What does this further? Belle and her dad already have a really good relationship, we see that probably better than any other in the movie. This isn't something the Beast and Belle even need to bond over, they like each other because they realize they underestimated the other and yadda yadda. And how do they show that Belle is SMART? She makes a washing machine? Like? What? Why? That's not...she could have made small things like her dad. She is NEVER seen MAKING anything other then that ONE TIME with that HUGE INVENTION because how else will kids know that she's SMART? Ugh. Make her make small things, and do it consistently, you don't have to spotlight one BIG thing to make your point. How do they show Belle is independant? She argues with the Beast! The arguing is fine but the fact that she has NO fear? Like...girl are you human? I don't feel like this was Emma's acting (maybe?) I feel like it was because, you know how all these re-do Disney movies are, girl power and yadda yadda. Being able to stand up to someone WHILE YOU ARE PETRIFIED is BRAVERY, being un-afraid in a situation that would scare everyone out of there wits is just stupid! It teaches people that if you are afraid when confronting people that you're weak. Gaston, GASTON! Nobody makes me SAD like Gaston~! WHY?! Why Disney, oh WHY?! Why would you develope this man into an ACTUAL PERSON that I feel deserves all the help he can get and then KILL him in the same way like I'm supposed to be HAPPY that he died? NO. N-O. This is HANS ALL OVER AGAIN, why does their HAVE to be a villian? You could have had him scramble away from Beast and just...live. Why does he have to die? I get that he's stubborn but that stupid gun could have very well fell into an abyss and he'd have no choice but to give up. URGH!!! This is due to that whole issue where this movie feels like two scripts torn up and thrown together. They wanted to do new things but because they're Disney they have to make Belle's choice in a guy easier by making one over the top evil! AND HE'S NOT EVEN EVIL! Gosh DANGIT. This man has PTSD! He was TRYING so HARD to keep that part of himself away but he was pushed (Maurice and Belle) and pushed (the sudden introduction of MAGIC into his world and a scary monster who could probably kill all of the villagers and probably enchanted Belle as well, heck, MAGIC EXISTS ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE NOW) so he snapped back into War Gaston mode and there was nothing there to snap him back- he saw inanimate objects come alive and beat the crap out of people! He probably thought he was back IN the war. So, obviously, who gets the short end of the stick through this whole movie? Gaston. Look. He was no angel, I'm not saying he was. All I'm saying is, if you want to have a character that has mental scars like this...let that effect your others characters as well. If you want me to treat him like a villian then why did you turn him into this? You spent more time building up Gaston's character that BEAST'S! Like, UGH! DISNEY! C'MON! What if Gaston's mom or sibling worked at the castle or something and they have NO ONE to greet when the villagers finally remember them? Everyone else has a happy ending, seriously. Everyone else may have suffered for a little bit but in the end? Gaston. Gaston gets nothing just because there was not proper care for him. ANYWAYS! TL;DR, I LIKED movie Gaston, I feel like given time Belle would have seen that he (JUST LIKE BEAST IN THE MOVIE) had another side to him and that they probably could have got along just fine. Heck, this Gaston would probably READ to her if asked, look at him in the movie, he's smitten with the woman! *sigh* This is just me, you have your own opinions. Maybe I have Boromir glasses on, or even just sweet Bard glasses, I can't help it. Sorry for the huge rant.

I'm not your brother, neither that woman is my mother, now I'm the son of another guy, and I rule over all of you, losers. Also, I'm not demon-blood creature, but an Angel itself, almost. I can activate my runes without stupid wand, you fucking bitches, I have GPS and I cure cancer. I'm fucking God!!!. Me: WHAT? Shadowhunter season 2: And my sister now works like a warlock. She can portal us. Me: WHAT!? Shadowhunter season 2: Greater demon. Magnus loses his body. And soon, will lose his life. Me: WHAAAT? Wait, slow down.

The HANDS!, looks the hands!!! It's magnus! Obviously!!!. I'm disappointed of you, Alec. Shadowhunter season 2: Chips and DNA for all down-world creatures.  Simon says this looks like nazism.

Much better. Shadowhunter season 2: torture consequences over Magnus' mind. Mom-drama. Amber-cat eyes. Roasting step-dad. me: Wow. This character is the whole thing in this show. You can't stop comparing how plain are the rest with this one, simply because 400 years old is something hard to compete, ofc. Shadowhunter season 2: Valentine captured by Sebastian. Sebastian in general. More paki-incest drama. I was never loved, I want someone to love me. My fucked twisted daddy won't love me, so I try to be loved by my sister in ... any ways. Me: AAAAAAHHHHHH STOP THE SUBTLE INCEST DRAMA! Shadowhunter season 2: Parabatai drama. Me: sigh. Shadowhunter season 2: Alec's father, the same one who said Magnus was a Lothario, cheats on his wife. Me: Look who is the lothario. The flamboyant bi man clearly not. Shadowhunter season 2:  “You of all people, Alec, would understand what means to fall in love” says daddy. Me:  what an asshole! Magnus is not a fuckign affair, you fucker Shadowhunter season 2:  “magnus is not an affair, dad” Me:  There.  Alec will never do that to Magnus. He is too virgin and busy for that... lol. Besides... hell, Magnus is always there for him and has magic of all fucking types, he is intelligent and wise, always in a good mood, joking all the time, trustworthy as fuck. You have to be a shit to lie to him.... Shadowhunter season 2: Alec lies to Magnus while talking about Trust (TM). Me: Are.... are you.....*grabbing my chest painfully * Are you fuckign kidding me?.  Alec! You are not my fave, but hell.... you piece of shit. Shadowhunter season 2:  Magnus says “You lied to me, Alec. It seems that it runs in the family” Me:  Wow. Touché. Destroy his dark shadowhunter heart!!!!! Shadowhunter season 2: Magnus goes to ask for help to the Fairy Queen. Me: …. well.... that was excessive, no?. Magnus, you are old enough to know... this is not useful at all... c'mon, stupid asshole, you are just hurt because the fucker of your boyfriend lied to you. Bump him but don't fuck up all your people! Shadowhunter season 2: Magnus remember time with Alec. Scene of acceptance when he shows his cat eyes. “They are beautiful”. Me: Hell, this hits me 100 levels of my soul. Stupid scene. Stupid beautiful amber eyes. Shadowhunter season 2: Paki drama. I killed dad, and my no-bro/fuckbuddy is dead, and I will return him alive. Parabatai drama. Me:  Ugh, this can't be ok. Returning dead is proved to be a bad decision. Always. ALWAYS. The crow turned aggressive when he came back from death!. Shadowhunter season 2:  Ends Me: Yeah, Ok, season 2 was much better than 1. I liked the gayness here, but... no lesbians, fuck. Where is my healthy cute relationship of lesbians in a main char? I don't want lesbian in the background. Well, so far, I have Magnus. Healthy Magnus is so good. Shadowhunter season 3:  *dead people coming back from death + daylight vampire + angelic blood* in stand-by Me: uh... I can't decide who will be the villian: Jace or the fucking Queen.
