#INTJ confession

[endless-ineffabilities]

Write 1 confession then send this to 10 people for them to do.

not really a confession, but since I haven't shared an iota about myself on my blog (apart from my age range and mbti 🥲)....

hi, my name is ______ , my parents named me after a Norse goddess and I used to despise that fact and wished I had a more popular name like Taylor (can you tell I've always been a Swiftie) or Emma.

But now I'm chuffed about it and I love that my name is F_____ 🙃🖤

Fe equating with empathy and absorbing emotions is not correct, particularly for IFJs / ITPs. Fe- is the "emotional feng shui" set by others.

Bad feng shui messes up their inner peace. It triggers them to do something about it. They can choose to care, blame, or ignore.

These types are not naturally good with emotions. They use logic and reason to better understand and gain a sense of control, in order to avoid these bad feng shui vibes from happening.

Most of them actually hold very strong values and opinions about how the world should behave, therefore need to devise solutions so that everyone, with them included, can get along.

keftxo [kɛ.ˈft’o] adj., intj. unhappy, upset, ‘How sad!’

Anonymous Request: I was wondering if you could do a fic of Neteyam x reader. Nne where kiri hypes the reader up to confess to Neteyam, but when they’re about to reach him, they eavesdrop and hear him tell Lo'ak (or whoever!) that they don’t have feelings for the reader. He only says it so Lo'ak doesn’t make fun of his feelings because he actually likes her, but the reader avoids him out of embarrassment and to lose her feelings.

1,697 words

Kiri shrugged, acting very nonchalant about the whole thing. "Well, I think you should tell him. What's the worst that could happen?"

I hissed through my teeth. "He could hear me."

The two of us were walking back after taking a long ride on our Ikrans together in a rare afternoon spent in leisure. Kiri was trying to convince me, for the 10th time, to tell her brother that I had feelings for him, and I was trying to convince her, for the 100th time, that Neteyam would never be interested in his little sister's best friend.

She threw her head back, laughing. "Listen, I know my brother and I really think it's a good idea for you to tell him."

"Kiri, no. It will be awkward between us and I won't want to be around your family as much, and that would make me sad."

The Sullys had become like a second family over the years. My brothers were always with Lo'ak and Neteyam, and I was almost always with Kiri and Tuk, and anything disrupting that perfect harmony was unacceptable.

Kiri grabbed my arm, stopping us both. "I won't bring this up again, but listen to me. I know it's a good idea. I know it's going to make you, and my brother, very happy, if you do this. Please, just consider it."

I pursed my lips and rolled my eyes, but promised myself I would consider it, for at least a moment.

--

A moment turned into a week, and then two, and finally I decided... to just go for it. If Neteyam didn't like me, we could get past it, right? We were adults now. I wasn't just his best friend's little sister. I was a woman, and I had a right to express my feelings.

Plus, I felt like I was on a timeline now. It seemed like Marek, a childhood friend, was preparing himself to ask me to be his mate. I was worried, if I didn't at least express once to Neteyam how I felt, that I would say yes to Marek and be trapped in a relationship I didn't want.

I was a classic na'vi-pleaser.

So, I plucked up every ounce of courage I had, and made my way to Neteyam's home, where I was hoping he would be.

--

Lo'ak was teasing Neteyam again, and Neteyam was getting tired of his younger brother's incessant torment.

"You know, maybe I'll ask Y/N to be my mate, since you don't mind. I'll have to get in line, though. I hear Marek has eyes on here, and maybe even U'ri. Do you think she'll choose me?"

Neteyam gave his brother a light shove on the shoulder. "I do not care."

Lo'ak rolled his eyes. "You care very much. Why not admit it?"

Neteyam's cheeks heated, but he couldn't explain exactly why he felt shy about admitting his feelings for Y/N. It might have been because they'd known each other since they were little, and until recently, she'd only been his little sister's friend... and now, she was a lot more.

He wasn't the only one noticing, and Lo'ak was right about that. There were many men considering Y/N for their mate, and he was getting nervous about it. Lo'ak's feelings didn't help.

"Lo'ak!" Neteyam exclaimed, "if you want Y/N for your mate, go ask her! Why would I care? She's just a dumb kid, and I'd never want her to as my mate, anyway!"

A small gasp from just outside turns both men's heads at the same time, and they catch a glimpse of Y/N running away.

"Fuck," Neteyam whispers.

--

Kiri found me later that night, sitting on the edge of a shimmering pond with my toes dangling in the water, watching my tears cause ripples in the pool.

"Oh, Y/N," she said softly, sitting down next to me. "What happened?"

I shook my head, and she wrapped her arms around me and put her head on my shoulder.

"Neteyam doesn't like me," I replied after a long pause, the words coming out staccato. It felt like the world was falling down around me, and I felt really dumb for feeling that way in the first place.

"What?" Kiri asked. "He said that?" She sat back up, staring at me with her mouth open.

"He said I'm a dumb kid, and he'd never want me." I wiped my nose, and Kiri pulled me in for a hug.

It helped, but only a little.

--

After that, I had to avoid the Sullys for a while. I hoped it would only be temporary, but any reminder of Neteyam's existence was painful, and made me feel foolish.

What made me think that the eldest son of Taruk Makto would be interested in me? What did I have to offer him? I was no one. I was not the best hunter, or the best weaver on the loom, and I was far from the best fisherman... I was just average. He was right - I was just a dumb kid.

It hurt, not seeing Kiri and Tuk, but it hurt even more to risk seeing Neteyam.

Four nights later, at the evening meal, Marek sat next to me. I was feeling a little lonely, and so welcomed his company. He talked about himself, mostly; his latest kill, his speed and strength, and it was fine to listen to for a while, but eventually, I grew tired and needed to excuse myself to cry again.

I found myself back there, at the same sparkling pool, but this time I decided to dive right in. Taking advantage of the quiet, empty spring, I washed myself from head to toe, scrubbing my scalp for so long that it nearly burned. When I surfaced and re-dressed, I sat next to the water again, letting the warm night dry me off.

When I heard footsteps quietly approaching behind me, I assumed at best it was Kiri, and at worst, it was Marek, come to talk more.

When the visitor settled next to me, it was Neteyam.

My entire body stiffened, and my mouth went dry.

--

Three Days Earlier

Kiri slapped her eldest brother across the head with more force than she ever had before, and in front of the entire family, no less.

"You idiot!" she yelled. Everyone went silent as Neteyam grabbed his sore scalp.

"Kiri, what the hell?" Neteyam exclaimed, standing up in the middle of the family's home.

"You told Y/N she was a dumb kid, and you could never love her?"

Jake winced, and Neytiri hissed. "You said this to her?" Neytiri asked, standing up as well, grabbing her son's arm.

"No!" Neteyam replied, and then realization dawned. "No... but I said it to Lo'ak."

"Is that how you really feel?" Kiri asked. "Because she heard you say it, and now she's devastated."

Neteyam's shoulders slumped forward, and he held his face in his hands. "Fuck," he whispered, and his father shoved him.

"Make it right," Jake said.

But Neteyam didn't know how.

--

There was a long silence as Neteyam settled in next to Y/N. She didn't look over at him. She didn't even seem to breathe.

He noticed her skin was damp and her hair was wet. He was sitting close enough to smell her - she smelled like fresh berries and spring water.

How could he have been so stupid? How could he have let his pride get in the way, and allowed her to be hurt in the process? He had spent the last four days trying to figure out how to apologize, but he still had nothing.

"I need to tell you something," he said finally. His hands were folded nervously in his lap - and so were Y/N's.

"Okay," she replied, her voice very quiet and thick, as if she were about to cry.

"When you heard me talking to Lo'ak... I said something that hurt you."

She sat up straight, but still didn't look at him. "You said, I'm a dumb kid."

"Yes."

She turned away from him, and he could see her shoulders were shaking, and tears sprang into his eyes, too.

He reached out, grabbing her by the shoulders, and was surprised when she willingly fell into his arms. He held her tightly as she cried, desperately searching for the words to make it better.

"Y/N, what I said wasn't true. I don't think you're dumb, and you're clearly no longer a kid. You're... you're a woman, and not just that. You're the smartest woman I know, the funniest, the bravest, and the most beautiful. Lo'ak was giving me shit, again, about how much I like you, and I got sick of hearing it. I got frustrated and I said something I didn't mean, and I wish you'd never heard it. I'd rather die than hurt you, Y/N. Please, believe me."

He held her as her breathing slowed, and his heart rate stayed high.

After a while, she pulled away, just enough to look up at him. He wondered if he could ever forgive himself for making her look this sad.

"I believe you," she said finally, and the corners of her mouth almost turned up in a smile.

"I'm in love with you, Y/N. I have been for a while, and I'm sorry I didn't tell you before. I will never forgive myself for hurting you."

She reached up, brushing a tear that had escaped off of Neteyam's cheek, and she smiled - really smiled, wide, ear to ear.

"I'm in love with you, too, Neteyam."

His smile grew, wide enough to match hers, and he pulled her tightly into his arms again, smelling the fresh berry scent in her wet hair, putting his hands everywhere on her that he could touch, reveling in how lucky he was to be loved by someone who was everything that she was.

"I'll make it up to you," he whispered, "for the rest of our lives, if you'll let me."

She squeezed his shoulders tightly, and he felt a warm kiss pressed into his shoulder.

"I'll let you," she whispered, and his heart soared.

[i2valeri]

ִֶָ 𓂃⊹ ִֶָ i <3 yang ! for todays shenanigans hani tries to bring valerie to her senses, because she doesn’t ACTUALLY believe a single soul could like her. 蝴蝶 so yang jungwon comes to the rescue.

valerie was definitely anti-social. she really didn’t know how to express her feelings, so it made her feel a tad bit odd in a group of loud introverts or hyper extroverts.

she didn’t force herself into any group hangouts or conversations, but of course her closest co-member, hani, always invited her to stuff without her being able to say no.

“I think val wants to come.”

“val likes those kinds of things.”

“we should invite val.”

valerie always depended on hani as she was 2 years older than her, practically her older sister. she was glad to have someone that could always stay by her side you know? someone that can help her fit in—

“valerie song!” the older girl snapped valerie back to consciousness, they were both sitting on the edge of the bed face to face, “valerie! come on! I can’t always be the one who’s helping you with getting along with your other members!” hani nagged the younger girl, while valerie just sighed.

“easy for you to say. any word that comes out of your mouth, suddenly everyone bursts into laughter.” valerie crossed her arms, kinda disappointed that just this one time, hani wasn’t siding with her.

“it’s not my fault I’m enfp.” hani pouted, valeire was right. the typical extroverted energetic girl who could make anyone laugh with her jokes, someone who was friendly and out going.

in-fact, valerie was the opposite of whatever hani was. valerie was infj, typically described as “INTJs look rather intimidating. INTJs are famous for their death stares.”

exactly what valerie was to almost everyone else.

“most of our members are sociable, val ! trust me ! it’s not hard to get closer with them!” hani held valeries shoulders, shaking her softly. “easy for you to say.”

“what would you do if I’m not there and you guys are together? sit quietly and not even spare a glance…?”

…that was the plan. valerie thought to herself, just giving hani a glance of guilt. “don’t tell me you were thinking it.” she wasn’t ACTUALLY planning to do it.. right?

“…” valerie stayed silent; looking down at the ground like she was taking into consideration, focused on thinking. “fine.” valerie had finally agreed to something, she agreed upon trying to get close to each member one by one.

“oh my god! yes! it will be so worth it when you guys are finally close !!” hani squealed in excitement, “who did you get closest with first? who’s the easiest to get close with?” valerie asked curiously.

“actually. come to think of it, it was jungwon.”

valerie definitely did not expect jungwon to come out of hani’s mouth, jungwon seemed like a quiet introvert, but when she saw him during hangouts and conversations, his personality said otherwise.

but sometimes, jungwon seemed a bit neutral when it came to valerie since she was someone he didn’t know yet personally, “jungwon ?! how am I gonna get close with him ?!” valerie asked in confusion.

“val.. trust me it’s gonna be easy for you—”

“hani. I noticed whenever I passed by jungwon he wouldn’t even spare a glance, when I said hi he would wave slightly and walk away. I swear… that man does not like me!” valerie ranted as hani watched her, waiting for a chance to talk.

“jungwon… doesn’t like you?” hani said in denial, “yes! he obviously doesn’t want to be associated with me.” valerie face planted into her pillow.

“oh my god val! who do you think is the one who’s always asking to bring you into conversations and hangouts? it wasn’t me… it was jungwon who always asked me to bring you into convos!” hani corrected her bestfriend, valerie.

“what?”

“val he wants to be close with you! he is always saying ‘i feel bad for val, i understand she can’t express her feelings. I wish I could talk to her’ yadaydada! that’s what he says val! he wants you to be included!” hani suddenly confessed,

“jungwon was the first person to bring you up in whatever we would do! he’s a caring leader… he loves all of the members! mostly you val… mostly you!” hani nagged the stunned girl.

so it turns out… every time she got invited… it was jungwon who initiated it ?! “wait… so if jungwon never initiated to invite me, would you have not invited me…?”

“of course not! but it was jungwon who always asked me to do it, val he’s shy to talk to you.”

“everyone is! they all like you, but it just seems like you don’t like them.”

“val this might seem straightforward. but they all do love you, they want to be closer with you. they hate the distance, they think your the one distancing from them.”

oh my fucking god! if this is what they think about valerie… what could they be talking about at dance practice right now …. ?!?

⠀

⠀ 🎐 𓂅 我爱你 . . !

⠀

“plan to talk to valerie has now officially started! who wants to start their idea first ?” heeseung stood up on the couch, like they were doing a whole project to finally stop being cowards and talk to valerie.

“what if we invite her to a restaurant and hang out? seems like we could get to know her more like that.” sunghoon smiled softly at the mere thought of overcoming the fear of talking to val.

“you guys are gonna make it awkward of how you don’t even notice her when were are all sitting together in the dining room.” jungwon said from across the room, arms crossed but not that far.

“so in simple terms… we go to her?” jay asked, his hand on his chin, head resting on his hand. “no shit sherlock, how could she go to us ?!” jake playfully hit jay on the shoulder.

“what if we go to her, we could watch a movie. her favorite movie! what’s her favorite movie?” sunoo said, while riki was finishing his sentences. “wait what’s her favorite movie?” riki asked.

“oh that’s hard…” jake thought hard, he thought ‘valerie’ but the sheer thought of val made him giggle and chuckle like a little kid. “I got nothing.” he sighed softly.

“heeseung, do you know?” the zoned out hamster who has still standing on the couch suddenly snapped out of it and turned to jake, “I don’t remember… if she probably ever told us, I was just looking at her most probably.” heeseung scratched his nape in guilt.

“jay? sunghoon? got anything?”

“nope.”

it was decided, the boys knew absolutely… nothing about what valerie liked or what she didn’t liked.. except for one. “guys. it’s dead poets society; she told us !! how can you not remember?”

“ohhhhh yeah” they said in unison, “i guess jungwon has one point score in val’s heart.” sunoo said sarcastic, but the boys obviously didn’t take it as a joke.

“so are we gonna talk to her?” ni-ki asked, the boy was clearly nervous. “what am i gonna do? dress up as a dead poets society character and suddenly we are two peas in a pod?” ni-ki joked around, but he was really in-fact scared to even make eye contact with the girl.

heeseung tapped on his hard notebook, making everyone turn to him. “plan initiated.. operation talk to valerie has now started.”

“if I talk to val I might shit my pants and pass out.. I can’t even look at her!” jake was going CRAZY. and so was everyone else, just by thinking that they were gonna finally talk to val.

thinking of @valerieace ?!

okay I loved this chapter. nd I hope you did too 🫶 if you read this first chapter THIS FAR I love you sososooso much. okay that’s it 🙏

pairing: aaron hotchner x ofc

summary: francesca sainz knows her interests. she likes the dark, crime, profiling, medicine, military, guns, and suits. imagine her surprise when these things come as a person... granted, a "fourty-something unit chief" person, but a person nonetheless.

series masterlist

iii. three: a song to sing

with the week almost ending, francesca sat on reid's desk, lounging and disturbing him in any way that she can. he was busy finishing up his paperworks, which usually don't take him long so she presumed that something was wrong—utterly wrong for the boy wonder to be staring blankly at his monitor for ten minutes now while tuning her ramblings out.

"spence, hands down the tenth and eleventh doctors are the best."

he sighed at that, tapping his fingers together as he explained, "they are great, no doubt—"

"i'd let them run wild on me." she interjected calmly while checking her nails, nodding as if the idea's typical.

he fully looked at her, opening his mouth to speak only to close it and gather his thoughts, "i... how are we exactly judging them? because i think there might be a miscommunication here."

franz feigned ignorance as she turned her head to him and tried to look as innocent as she could muster. spencer is once curious man, and he'll stop at nothing to understand a concept he did not.

luckily, garcia arrived with emily to save her. the girls are already passionately exchanging points when they reached the two, their beloved tech girl throwing a question to the boy.

"what's your mbti?"

"infp, yours?"

penelope squeeled at that, gushing to reid at being only a letter different from him, "enfp!"

emily smiled at her excitement, nodding to the genius, "i'm surprised you even took the test."

"myers-briggs personality test is almost accurate. it was officially researched and the results are valid." he turned to emily with a smug grin in his his tone, "you're enfj."

prentiss rolled her eyes with a smile, hinting everyone that reid was indeed correct. garcia looked at the young trainee, "yours, franz?"

"me? intj," she answered casually, leaning her arm on the desk divider.

the pink-loving woman narrowed her eyes at her, pulling her head back as her voice came out pitchy in disbelief, "no, you're not."

"all that flirting and confessions and you're a t?" emily backed her, brows crossing but with a humorly scoff.

franz pressed her lips together in a thin smile, nodding slowly in reassurance, "73 percent."

"that's high." she grinned at their bemusement, amazed herself how they could not believe her mbti.

reid narrowed his eyes in analysis of the girl's previous behaviors, "if you really think about it, she has a tendency to rule by thinking rather than feeling."

the dark-haired woman chuckled mockingly as she shook her head, "oh, i don't think there's much thinking involved when she throws herself at the boss-man."

sainz could do nothing but laugh at her reasoning, which in all honesty, she could not say it was entirely untrue.

"how come you're introverted as well?" garcia grimaced in annoyance that the girl's mbti seems to be exactly the opposite of what hers should be.

"oh, you don't know me, penelope." she grinned teasingly with pride in her voice.

prentiss nodded upwards as she crossed her arms. the rest followed her line of sight, "what about him? what do you all think his mbti is?"

francesca smugly grinned in certainty, "he's an i and t for sure."

pen squinted to their boss, pursing her lips on thinking, "istp?"

"is that gideon?"

reid stated with disbelief as he saw the familiar man walk in the bullpen. the others turned at once by that, eyes widening as the man looked at them with his usual tight smile.

"oh my god, that's gideon." emily breathed out, their eyes following the man as he climbed up the stairs.

seeing the man arriving from his office blinds, hotch stood up and walked to his door, opening it slightly as he peeked out to call for her.

"sainz, in my office."

 · • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

after exchaning their pleasantries, gideon had no chance to even blink before he saw the utter look of besottedness from the girl to her chief. he stared between the two inquisitively as he leaned back on the small shelf on the right side of the desk. franz took a seat across hotch, smiling too cheerfully for the men's liking.

hotch cleared his voice as he turned to jason before settling to the trainee in front of him, "as you know, it is mandatory for you to undergo a psychological evaluation after what had transpired."

she kept her eyes on him, listening intently—not to his words though but to his voice. he already knew the girl was barely conscious, her mind focusing on other matters and he had to roll his eyes inwardly in humor at that.

"obviously, i asked strauss to let me handle it. later on, i realized how biased my evaluations would be." he leaned back to his office chair, gesturing with his right hand to his former chief, "so, here we are. i brought gideon in to conduct the evaluations."

she grinned, turning to the older man with her eyes shining with its usual glint of mischief. franz shook her head lightly as she spoke self-assuredly, "he can't do the evaluations, sir, because he likes me."

hotch shut his eyes resignedly at her quip. the prestigious former chief, however, was less than amused, yet brows raising slightly in intrigue—a contrast to his monotone voice, "i can see that."

gideon stood up from his leaning and clasped his hand, putting her sarcasm at the back of his mind, "let's start."

he rounded the table as hotch stood up, the other taking his seat. her current unit chief moves to sit at the back of his office, silently waiting for them to start as he opted to observe.

"aaron," jason said suggestively as he puts on his glasses and opens the folder, scanning her files.

the man called did not move, his eyes narrowing at the sound of his name and refusing to acknowledge the other's gesture. with that, the older man raised his head from the paperworks to him. as he sees the all-so-familiar look from his former superior, hotch closed his eyes and sighed, standing up at once.

"wow, i've never seen him get kicked out of his own office so easily." franz chuckled lightly, her eyes still at ths sight of her boss descending the stairs. her laughter, however, dried when she turned back to gideon, only to see him looking at her pointedly.

"i've read the case report. i understand the need to take the shot."

they began the test, asking and answering questions back-and-forth, both related to the case and not. a good thirty minutes passed by with the man only using a single sheet to put down any observations. if it was a good thing or a bad thing, she had no idea.

gideon moved to more direct questions, frankly pertaining to the previous case now.

"i do not feel bad at all. is that a problem, sir?" she looked at her nails on her lap before leaning back on the chair and raising her head to him.

"it might be." gideon plainly said in observation.

"you know, i had to be prepared for this evaluation. get my facts right." he began, leaning on his back as well and removing his glasses, letting it dangle on his chest, "and so, i obviously looked at your records."

he paused for a good number of seconds, focusing at the papers in front of them in thinking of his following words before looking at her directly in the eyes, voice full of calmness and inquiry, "tell me, why did you intentionally fail your firearms proficiency?"

"how did you know?" she could not help the look of small surprise on her face as the man saw the pattern in her proficiency results.

he simply smiles at that, the gesture reminding the girl of who he is, "a trade secret."

franz chuckled inwardly at his secrecy. she pursed her lips, already knowing that her reasoning won't be enough for him, "i rather not carry a weapon, sir."

"why?" he was purely intrigued by that. a choice to not carry any firearm in this field of work... it was rare—and utterly foolish.

a playful smile slowly made its way on her lips, seeing the opening, "a trade secret."

"sainz," gideon smirked at her immediate wittiness, leaning forward with crossed fingers on the table, "do you play chess?"

 · • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

after they finished, the two vacated the office, gideon nearing rossi right away. the two went to the coffee maker, probably staying there to chat lightheartedly. there was something so endearing about their small reunion, the rest of the team smiling at the sight of the two grandfathers of the bau.

"gideon's awesome—not like manly cool, but more of a grandma cool." reid stated with raised brows, the same way he shares random facts, his admiration for the man as clear as day.

a memory resurfaced in derek's mind, the old man screaming suddenly in a room facing the window as they were observing the victim's home. he shrugged at that but smiled nonetheless, "he's a bit questionable at times but he was a great chief."

francesca nodded with a soft smile as they recall their moments with their former chief, who unfortunately, she did not get the chance to work with officially. she could see it though—their description of him.

"If you could only see the look of disappointment on his face when i suck at chess." she chuckled as she shared to them her poor excuse of plays. she knew how to play, but strategizing was never her strong suit. sainz was a girl who preferred to be head-on.

she twirled around her office chair, listening to both men when jj rounded up the corner with the widest smile.

"look who's visiting!"

"why do we suddenly have a lot of visitors today?" franz questioned as she stood up from her seat, looking at her arrival. jj's grin was something the girl has dubbed as her mom grin. she removed her hands from the insides of her pocket at the realization, "jj... no."

"we thought this week must have been so stressing for you." jj began cheerily, the sounds of kids nearing them, "now, i don't know what makes you happy aside from hotch, but i do know that these kids can make everyone's day better."

her eyes widened as she finally see two boys around the same age and immediately turned back at once, as if mouthing to reid.

"spence, i do not like—"

"henry!"

she was cut off by the cheer in the voice of the boy genius, him crouching down to jj's kid. derek only laughed at her expression. awkwardness was a rare sight on the girl, moreso that it's as simple as children that causes it.

"hey... guys." franz made a pathetic attempt of a wave, her voice void of any comfort.

jack, hotch's kid, fist-bumped with morgan as little henry turned to her, "mom says you're stressed. this makes the stress go away."

she stood awkwardly as the kid hugged her, patting his back unsurely, "yeah... thanks, buddy."

sainz looked at his mother and whisper-yelled, "jj, stop making excuses to bring kids here."

"it's december!" the mother exclaimed with a chuckle, "they always visit during december."

penelope exclaimed at the sight of the kids too, showing familiarity as she ushered them forwards, "let's go, boys. your legos and other toys are still in my office."

both boys grinned at that, starting to follow garcia but turned back to the new face as they took hold of her hands.

"wha—no, no," she protested, finding it futile as they finally reached the doors just by the kids dragging her.

it's going to be a long day.

 · • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

"how did it go?" hotch asked with curiosity dripping from his tone as he entered his office again, closing the blinds for some privacy.

"great," gideon stood up from the seat, his eyes lingering on her name on the folder. he tapped his fingers on it before looking back to aaron, "she has a lot of potential. where did you find her?"

"from a lecture," he replied simply, crossing his arms on his chest, "feedback?"

his former chief's brows narrowed a bit at his short and vague answer. he mentally noted that before divulging his observations, "i do not think the case and the encounter affected her much. she has a strong personality, high loyalty and confidence, and understands the job and its demands. she is not easily affected."

hotch nodded at that, seemingly relieved, "that's good. she's fit for field duty then?"

"give this report to strauss."

he moved forward and took the folder from the other man's hand, his eyes landing on another sheet of paper with scribbled notes that he can only presume as something that should not be disclosed.

"she will be an excellent agent and profiler," gideon sighed as he kept his eyes to the man, observing even the slightest change in his expression, "good thing we got her first."

"jason, what does this mean?" hotch finally looked back at him as he gestured on the paper, confusion apparent on his features.

"she's very turbulent." he pursed his lips as he explained his analysis of her actions and disposition, "so far, manipulation and lack of empathy and remorse are the only apparent signs."

"still, i stand by what i said first, and those qualities are what exactly makes her just a potential one." he walked from the desk to the windows, maintaining his gaze outside as he continued, "francesca's incredibly self-aware, aaron. i think she might even already know she's all i'm explaining right now."

jason could not help but compare her to a bird. what kind? he doesn't know yet. perhaps, the reason is because the girl has not fully hatched yet.

what she will be? the world is yet to know.

"for what it's worth, she likes you," he breaks the silence and the tension from the newfound information as he turned back to look at hotch's expression. he could see his eyes reading the page over and over again, yet stopping at once by the mention, "genuinely."

he neared him again, asking with genuine interest. hotch was sharp. he was not someone who gets side-tracked easily, "did you really not know?"

aaron clicked his tongue lightly at that, putting down the file, "that she's bordering on aspd? of course, not."

"then you were right to call me." gideon stated suggestively, watching as hotch's jaw hardened ever so slightly, "maybe, your judgement is indeed biased."

he apologizes if he was having a hard time believing it—that the girl who's laughing and playing with his son and henry just meters away from him has those qualities. francesca is a young adult—a very rocky, confusing, and unstable age.

and so, he continues to tell himself that as he descends the stairs from his office.

the previous unit chief caught up with the others for a bit as sainz turned and immediately grinned to him as always.

she narrowed her eyes at him in mock-thinking, her fingers resting on her chin as she hummed, "sir, let me guess your mbti. you're istj, aren't you?"

this girl could not possibly have psychopathic tendencies. his mind scanned through each and every interaction they had, and he came up with nothing. for some reason, he could not help the the feeling of protectiveness over her. perhaps, gideon was wrong.

perhaps, gideon just doesn't know her.

and so, he allowed a small smile grace his lips as she maintained her sight on him, grinning so widely with pride as if knowing she was right.

before he could even answer, the boys dragged her away to play again. franz groaned at them stealing her time with the boss, yet a genuine smile appeared on her features as she tickled jack upon catching him.

this girl in front of him is not what gideon says.

but perhaps, like gideon, he doesn't know her as well.

𝑺𝑭𝑾🌿

𝐉𝐚𝐤𝐞

🌿ISTP 🍁Gryffindor 📜Chaotic Good 🔮Gemini Sun, Sagittarius Moon, Leo Rising

・Someone that will stick by him no matter what. Loyal to the very end. But also a person who pushes themselves. A person who will leave their comfort zone and work on themselves 

・I think Jake likes a romantic partner who can show him new things. Not just a new environment, but new ways of thinking and perceiving. He can get stuck in his ways, so these new opinions would be a fresh of breath air for Jake

・He would also be entranced by someone who thinks ahead. A person who can forward think and counteract their opponent’s actions. As an air sign himself, Jake would be completely blown away by someone who:

1. has an open mind, 2. Is able to have witty banter, 3. knows how to throw a punch 

・The character tropes with his s/o would be:

Snarky Power Couple That Can, And Probably Will, Destroy You

Emotionally Unstable (You) x Also Emotionally Unstable But Tries To Hide It (Jake)

Constant Banter

・The zodiac signs that would work best are: Scorpio, Aquarius & Sagittarius

・In MBTI terms, someone with; INTJ, INTP or ESTJ

𝐓𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐲𝐚

🌿ESFJ 🍁Hufflepuff 📜Chaotic Good 🔮Cancer Sun, Virgo Moon, Aquarius Rising

・Someone who makes her feel safe, but also seen

・A person who wants to break social norms and live as they wish to

・Tsireya would be smitten with someone who makes her feel important and recognised. She’s been underestimated and has done what was expected of her, but now she wants to take control of her life and make her own decisions 

・She needs someone who will encourage her to take the reins. 

・The character tropes with her s/o would be:

When Two Of The Sweetest people In The Room Are In Love

You Confessed Your Love When Thinking She Was Unconscious 

Moral/Emotional Support

・The zodiac signs that would work best are: Aquarius, Cancer and Pisces

・In MBTI terms, someone with; ENTP, ENFJ or INFJ 

𝐍𝐞𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐢

🌿 ISFP 🍁Ravenclaw 📜Chaotic Neutral  🔮Sagittarius Sun, Gemini Moon, Pisces Rising

・Someone who is just as wild and adventurous as she is. She would grow bored with someone who’d want to stay home all the time 

・She’d work really well with someone who can read others - who can pick up on social subtleties

・She would fall in love with a person who shows respect to Eywa - it would be even better if they have faith in the goddess

・Neytiri would be grateful to have someone who understands her; not just the words she says, but what she doesn’t say.

・She would also match well with someone who is a defender - who will have her back no matter what. Who will defend her even when she isn’t there.

・The character tropes with her s/o would be:

Childhood Friends to Lovers

Would Die For Each Other

Touch My Her/Him And I Will End You (goes both ways)

・The zodiac signs that would work best are: Aries, Taurus and Gemini

・ In MBTI terms, someone with; ISTP, INFJ or ISFJ

𝐀𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐧𝐠

🌿ESFP 🍁Hufflepuff 📜Chaotic Good 🔮Scorpio Sun, Leo Moon, Gemini Rising

・Someone he can laugh with, but can put him straight. A person who holds him accountable for his actions but stands by him

・A partner that doesn’t make him ashamed of his actions. He wants to fit in so badly and his actions with the Sullys’ was because he felt threatened - but that doesn’t excuse his behaviour 

・You aren’t his conscience - that’s not your job. But by being around you, he wants to do better, be better 

・He would do well with another Hufflepuff, or even a Gryffindor. Someone who is loyal, who is upfront about their feelings 

・Aonung would be a man for you. 

・The character tropes with his s/o would be:

“Shut Up” x “Make Me”

Dumbass (Him) x Oh God I Guess That’s My Dumbass (You)

Troublemaker (Him) x WHY DO YOU KEEP GETTING IN TROUBLE!? (You)

・The zodiac signs that would work best are: Libra, Taurus and Sagittarius 

・ In MBTI terms, someone with; ENFP, ESFP, ESTP

𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐲𝐚𝐦

🌿ISFJ 🍁Gryffindor 📜Lawful Good 🔮Leo Sun, Pisces Moon, Libra Rising

・A healer, a poet, someone with a soft heart who sees the good in people

・Who is emotive and straightforward - even someone who is emotional and sensitive - would be better for him that someone too stoic

・He wouldn’t be able to handle someone who lets their fear rule them. He’d need someone who speaks, even if their voice shakes 

・Neteyam would work with someone who is soft-hearted but can do what needs to be done. He’d do well with another person who is the eldest sibling (that’s a whole other trope that affects a person greatly) 

・The character tropes with his s/o would be:

Looks Like A Jerk But Has A Heart Of Gold (Neteyam) x Looks Like A Cinnamon Roll But Is Also A Badass (You)

Sun (Him) x Moon (You)

Both Wary of Love & Don’t Think This Can Be Real

・The zodiac signs that would work best are: Cancer, Libra and Aries

・ In MBTI terms, someone with; INFJ, INFP or ISTP

𝐑𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥

🌿ESTJ 🍁Hufflepuff 📜Lawful Good 🔮Taurus Sun, Aries Moon, Cancer Rising

・Her perfect partner would be someone who is a mix of dominance, strength (emotional and physical) and care. 

・Ronal is a woman who can’t be told what to do or be contained

・She has a dominant personality, one where she thinks she knows what is right. 

・Her best-suited partner would be a person who helps her see a different point of view but ultimately has her back. Loyalty is something that she believes in wholeheartedly. If you can’t be by her side, then she wouldn’t want you 

・Keeping her family and clan safe is her top priority. That includes the beings that live in the water - they’re apart of her tribe

・So she needs someone who respects the tulkans

・The character tropes with her s/o would be:

They probably hate me (You) x Deeply, passionately in love … is terrible at showing it (Ronal)

Rivals to Acquaintances to Friends to Lovers/Married

Always Bringing Them Rocks They Think They Would Like (You) x Keeps The Rocks (Ronal)

・The zodiac signs that would work best are: Capricorn, Virgo and Leo

・In MBTI terms, someone with; ENFJ, ENTJ or ISFJ

𝐋𝐨'𝐚𝐤

🌿ENTP 🍁Ravenclaw 📜Chaotic Good 🔮Pisces Sun, Aquarius Moon, Aries Rising

・A dreamer; a person who has ideas and a big imagination. They can perceive so many possibilities, and they hate being contained

・He needs someone he can have deep conversations with. Someone that will encourage him, rather than wave away his ideas and opinions 

・He would be blown away by someone who is creative. Either with art, or making clothes, sculptures etc 

・Someone who is supportive, loyal and kind. Who has a gentle heart and doesn’t have any harsh judgements. 

・He’d be a good match with someone who bends and breaks the rules. Sometimes in rebellion, but mostly because they’re outdated

・A person with an open-mind would suit him very well. But also someone who seeks adventure

・The character tropes with his s/o would be:

Chaotic Dumbass (You) x Enthusiastic Dumbass (Lo’ak)

Teases Them (You) x About To End Them (Lo’ak)

Pair of walking disasters who cannot function without the other 

・The zodiac signs that would work best are: Pisces, Virgo and Aquarius

・ In MBTI terms, someone with; ESFJ, ISTP or INFP

𝐓𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐢

🌿ENFJ 🍁Gryffindor 📜Lawful Good 🔮Aries Sun, Taurus Moon, Scorpio Rising

・The best person would be someone who is strong in their beliefs and morals. Who stands their ground and doesn’t falter in arguments or discussions

・Although he seems like an alpha male himself, he would love being put in his place at times

・I also think Tonowari needs someone who respects the world they live in, someone who respects the earth in a spiritual sense as well as a physical one

・He needs an equal partner, someone he can trust with difficult choices 

・Basically, a person who can shoulder the weight of responsibility and leadership, but also has some sensitivity about issues, the environment, the way of life etc 

・He’d do well with someone who sees rules to be obeyed and respected. That they’re there to keep everyone safe and in line.

・The character tropes with his s/o would be:

Tough on the Outside, Soft on the Inside  x The Top

"You wear the pants in this relationship" (You, saying this to Tonowari) x "oh I wish, I cannot control you at all" (His response)

Married Couple Who Make Their Kids Cringe

・The zodiac signs that would work best are: Taurus, Leo, and Pisces

・In MBTI terms, someone with; ESTJ, ENTJ or ISTJ

💌 and 💄<33

💌: who confessed first and how did it happen?

He did actually, it was very unusual of him considering that he's an introvert with no desire for making human connections because he thinks it's a waste of time and that feelings ruin the ability to make rational decisions (classic intj bs)

It was a few months after we met, in the start of 2021, I had finally managed to break the shell he had around him and get close but he had to move, so before leaving he left me a letter that I was supposed to open on my birthday, and I did and to summarise it, it basically said that he'd come back for me because he loved me.

(I'll answer the second one later!)

The ask game!

[the-fandom-is-now-my-life]

Dont tease me, great sage

The rise of a new gear sage was a once in a lifetime occurrence that was filled with joy and promises of prosperity for the akademia but for al-haitham it was the beginning of another headache.

Wc: 3k

Notes: honestly i started out really liking the idea and starting with fluff in mind, then it turned to hurt confort then to angst and somewhere along there I just wanted to finish and gave it an open ending hahaha

Other than that it's just al-haitham acting as an intj and reader trying to flirt but failing

As if the stars combined themselves just right to bother him, al-haitham was given the 'honor' to lead a translation team because the guy that was chosen not too long ago became a father. And if that was little the newest great sage seemed more interested in playing 'love island' around his section than working. He sighs only thinking about you and your bothersome behavior

To the meetings where he would explain the findings of his team as the leader

" Well, this book is… this book represents the, the early beliefs of-" it seemed that even with the prior knowledge of the meeting he wasn't able to complete everything for the exposition without pulling several all nighters in a row and his brain still was foggy from sleep regardless of how many cups of coffee he gulped down

He was grateful enough that none of the sages had commented or noticed his behavior until he felt a cryo slime slide down his spine and a evil laugh leave you, the newest sage and the person he was looking at when he was presenting the findings

He swears he saw an evil grin split your face and darkness crowd your face "Aww, you’re stuttering so much, are you going to explain the book or confess to me?"

Al-haitham was taken aback, and was half a step away from entering a crisis until you laughed out

" Hahahaha, don't be so nervous, I'm just pulling your leg~!" You lean back in the chair and look towards the other three grand sages that joined the meeting " how about we give him 30 minutes to sleep or something before we resume, in the meantime we can go to that cafe your assistant told me about"

" Oh! I think he didn't mean it as a recommendation but that is a wise idea, right now there is little people "

" I heard they brought mondstrat juice yesterday, we could go" the oldest sage answers, scratching his beard " well, of course, only if the scribe agrees to this little break

Al-haitham is dubious about the scenario he was in right now, he has heard of teachers offering the choice to their students but failing them or kicking them out of the study program of they took it

" If that is what the sages want i can't prohibit you" opting for a neutral choice he sips his almost empty coffee mug as if he didn't care

Putting on the coat that was resting on the chair's back you sit up "well~ he said he doesn't mind, and it isn't as if there were more expositions left today, we can take as much as we want~" you stretch your back and head to the door slowly to leave time for the other two to refuse your offer

The oldest of the bunch searchs inside his bag and grabs a leather wallet, already sighing " I guess as the oldest amongst us I have to pay fifty percent of the bill, again?"

The two of them walk out of the room, leaving him and you alone " well, you earned yourself 30 or so minutes so make the best out of them" for one second al-haitham is purely relieved to be able to sleep even if only a few minutes but the little smile you have annoys him already

" Well, see you soon, handsome" you say as you leave the room. Al-haitham can already feel his eye twitching at the same rhythm of your laughs. He isn't very sure whether you are laughing at him, about calling him handsome or about this being of your recurrent 'jokes' that left some scholars blushing and close to passing out

Sitting down on one if the wooden chair and lifting his feet on another chair

Soon after he hears the quick drag of clothes and sandals inside the room and he closes his eyes to fake being asleep "sir al-haitham?" He recognizes that voice, it's the young assistant that the oldest sage took in soon ago. He remembers hearing something about an affair with a desert woman and a love child but he didn't care about it that much " do you know where sir Namkuzu and sage YN went?"

He only grunted some loose words like cafe, juice and Mondstrat to which he heard a small gasp followed by a light pitter patter against the floor

" Oh, I forgot to say thank-" Gitlam, the secretary, pops his head inside but finds him asleep so he soon leaves to join you three in the cafe

Or how annoying you are talking about things he doesn't care or have the slightest interest in

It's now 6 pm and his team takes another break to have a light snack and some coffee, he stays behind a bit, sorting some papers and some admissions requests but after a good 30 minutes he heads to the room that was filled with his team members

" Oh! Al-Haitham is here, someone pour him a cup of coffee!" Someone quickly yells from the tables of behind to which someone sits up and head to the table only to lift an empty pot

" There is nothing left"

He sighs tiredly " I will go ask if there is any coffee in the back, all of you return to work" quickly getting away the researchers returned to their stations and started reviewing material

" Oh?" The dreaded voice came from the door " is there no coffee?" To which Al-haitham nodded " why don't you try this" you press a tea bag In front of his face the slightly floral scent tickling his nose

" I don't drink thing if dubious source"

"Ah!" You grasp your chest, as if his words had somehow physically broken it in two pieces " you hurt me deeply! I just want to share my beloved tea but you must be so mean towards me. I'm going to cry for real!"

" If i drink it will you stop bothering"

" As soon as you finish drinking i won't bother you no more"

Al-haitham unpacks the tea bag and pours hot water over. He grabs the mug and sets himself in the table facing the window, hopeful that he might be able to catch up on some reading but his natural light source suddenly went dark, only to lift his eyes and see you smiling

" Did you know those leaves are special? These are so hard to come by because the leaves are picked while they are still young and supple" al-haitham looks straight intro your eyes, trying to find if you were planning on stopping

" Those flowers are quite good themselves, they are qingxing in full bloom, quite hard to collect" looking at the water slowly infusing with the tea al-haitham doesn't wait one second and chugs the barely brewed tea

"Ah!" You yelp when you see him, eyes wide with surprise

" Thanks for showing your kindness, great sage" he cleans his mouth, and leaving the break room "I will return to work in mediately" he sees the other way and finds the sage Namkuzu and Gitlam talking towards him, or the room he was standing in front of, specially

Slowly walking towards the wing his team was in and in the distance he hears a muffled 'oh? What is this tea?'

Or how bothersome you were when you came to his desk every day to leave a cup of coffee

" Good morning ~" a singsong voice says from above him and al-haitham doesn't look up

" Don't be rude! When someone speaks with you at least reject them face to face"

His green eyes focus on your own " leave." Before returning to his work

"Tsk! And here I was, giving you a coffee as a nice gesture!"

" You have been coming here to bring me coffee for the last three weeks. It has gotten old at this point"

" If you keep this up you are going to die alone, ya know?"

" Cut it" a smile rises to your mouth as you start poking his arm

"Oooh~, do I annoy you?"

"As much as usual."

"Oooh, aren't you the cutest? This time you didn't tell me to eat a wither zone core~"

He directly ignores you " whatever I'm leaving, i have to finish some paperwork".

"Wow. You work? I haven't seen you grab one pen in at least a good three months "

"Quit it! Your smart mouth is going to get you in problems at some point"

He only musters a light smile " whatever you say"

" I should tell gizzal to fire you and hire someone nicer!"

" As if you would" he pinches your arm " we both know you would get bored"

Or that time you were almost begging on your knees because you forgot your coat and it was raining

" Al-haitham!" You say animatedly and louder than usual to try and be heard above the noise of the rain hitting the windows "you know you are my favorite scribe, right?~"

your smile was tight against your face, he already knows that face from the students trying to ask him to accept their request even when they forgot to fill the paperwork. Bracing himself for the whatever you were going to ask

"can you-?"

"No"

" Can you at least let me finish talking?!"

" Fine. What do you want?"

" Can you lend me your jacket? It's raining and I need to run an errand really quick and-"

"No"

" You have a vision! you can better withstand the environment! Plus it's just for 40-! No 30 minutes, pleasee!"

"And? I don't care. I also want to leave in five minutes at worst"

Al-haitham notices namkuzu and Gitlam walking down the hallway and the sage sending his assistant before he starts walking again

Gitlam quickly ran towards where you two were. Al-haitham couldn't help but be reminded of a child running because they are late to school and their hat flopping up and down

As soon as he snaps out of that image he finds him beside you, worried face plastered " sage YN did something happen? I can help!"

Your eyes widens, be it because you were surprised or taken aback from his eagerness to help al-haitham wasn't totally sure

" Oh how sweet~ I was just asking this grumpy old man" your thumb pointing al-haitham " if he would lend me his coat because a member of my team need help but they are at the port so I would have to walk down the rain a good 200 meters" you sigh dramatically

In response Gitlam starts stripping down his coat and handling it to you " you can take it! Either way it was a bit too big for me and we have to get another one done" he starts sputtering excuses, trying to make it seem like it wasn't much

"Oh? Are you sure? Won't you be cold? Even inside here it's quite chilly"

" I mean if you don't mind we could go together, sir Namkuzu asked me to get some reports about the strength of the waves from the port so we could walk together, obviously if you dont mind i would never force you but I would enjoy it very much but-" quickly you put your hand in his shoulder and, as a pause button, Gitlam stopped talking almost instantly

" I would really enjoy getting some company, just let me grab my bag. If you want as a reward I will gift you a coffee" you turn just as he looks toward the window, seemingly the sea being the most interesting thing right no

Al-haitham, who watched all this just sipped his coffee " kids these days and getting crushes on their superiors"

Why couldn't he just focus on his duties while in the clock and then find a cute girl or boy from literally anywhere else? The newest scholars don't have good work ethic, and as funny it's that he is flirting with a sage to try and get a better job you should also not encourage him and cut it from the bud

Also, why would he go for you, no offense but young boys who just finished their thesis should go and play around with cards and get blackout drunk. It's even a bit weird age wise, well thinking that though it wasn't, Gitlam was only around 3 or 4 years younger but either way, he remembers the gossiping bunch in the break room talking about preferring older, more sophisticated and well read men rather than just graduated boys. Gitlam graduated from the academia a year ago at the young age of 21 or 22? He knows basically nothing and makes so many mistakes… you truly lack taste, there are so many good bachelors, ushar, zua, temen, himself. he laments silently

He gets annoyed thinking about you, or so he swears but his teammates noticed how down cast he looked when your team left to mondstrat

He wants to swear that he is only feeling like that because if he went he would be mostly idle in the most lax nation in teyvat but he feels slightly disappointed? Betrayed? That you chose to bring Gitlam but didn't even stoped to think about him.

And he swears you told him you would pick him 'Oh~ with such a cute face i may just add you to my team to Mondstrat even just to see you' textually you said

The four months the research team was supposed to take felt like they were dragging and taking years, the days were up and you, your team and that boy arrived to the gates in the early hours of the morning and he swears something isn't quite the same, maybe it's the way you joked less with your coworkers, how less touchy you were with them, your almost hour long hugs now being strictly polite 10 seconds long, or how you stopped coming by his desk everyday

The hour is 6:03 just about time he took his break, before pulling another all nighter. He stands up and walks around, stretching his sides. It's odd for you to not come already, you would be here already by 5:50 or 6:00 the latest but maybe you were too busy working and forgot he could bring you a cup, for a change maybe.

Pouring a warm cup of coffee he leaves to your office, usually you stay inside there all day, unless you stopped by to bother him.

Softly pushing the door he looks inside, there are some pens and pages still thrown around, so you surely were close but he didn't see your bag anywhere. Softly sighting he leaves the cup on one corner and hopes that you will get it while it's still warm

" And so I told him he was looking wrong! And he had the guts to be mad!" Your voice sounds from behind the door as you open it " oh? Al-haitham? Why are you here? Do you need help with anything?"

He was about to answer when he sees Gitlam behind you " nothing. I just came to drop something by but you weren't here. Where were you?"

" Oh, we just went to have dinner, Gitlam got an special offer to study in his field and we went out to celebrate. Why do you ask?"

If looks could kill Gitlam would have already had his throat sliced and be ten feet below " nothing"

Or how distant you seemed with him

"oh, it started to rain" was all you said as you looked at the window, raindrops racing to see who teaches the bottom faster

Al-haitham only looks to the side " mhm, it seems like that" quickly glancing towards the clock he notices that you often leave around this hour " you are leaving in a bit right? Do you want my jacket and you can return it to me tomorrow"

"Oh, thanks but Gitlam brought a coat for me when he saw the weather report so i won't need it"

"Oh, ok …" now he stopped writing only looking at the paper as if it had cussed at him " you and him seem to be really close…" but when he said that you already left to look for that dumb secretary and his dumb coat.

I mean, at the end if the day he was only a secretary and he was a scribe and former acting grand sage who you stopped by to speak with every so often, sure you didn't stop by everyday, not brought him coffee but you always came to notify him of the progress in your project and such, sure maybe it's mostly formal but it's because he got annoyed at you for getting so chatty about your cat and the tea you just bought

But after a while he started getting snappier, you only came by to greet him whenever you had to speak with gizzal which could be once a week or once a month.

And the worst part was that he knew you weren't busy, he saw you chatting with Gitlam every afternoon all day. He is sure gizzal sent him to give archives at that hour because he knew you two would be grossly cuddly with each other

One day he just snaps, hearing you laugh at the brainless joke your supposed admirer made. Why did you laugh at that kindergarten joke about dendron slimes and boogers but you didn't even mister a smile with his joke about the thermodynamics pressure of the gas. Surely it's that brat's fault. In a fit he grabs your arm and drags you out of your office and outside the akademia

" Can I ask what the hell is wrong with you or are you going to act as if THAT was normal?"

"Do you dislike me so much that you don't even want to see me?" Had you not known better you could have sworn his eyes were a bit foggy

" What?"

" You said you would bring me to the expedition even if just to look at me, but you didn't. Do you dislike me?"

" Al-haitham" you start to rub circles in your temple, as if trying to erase a headache "I was obviously joking, my expedition was about fossils and archeology. Tell me, how much would a scribe help exactly?

" But you brought Gitlam"

" Yes, because he wants to study archeology and Namkuzu asked me to bring him with me"

" Then why did you stop visiting me every day… why is that boy now the object of your affections but I barely get looked at?" His voice got raspier

"So you knew i like you but ignored it anyway." You cross your arms Infront of your chest, offended "You just want me to pin your you to get your ego up, you don't want to date me and that is fine but you can't refuse me my own feelings!" Al-haitham tries to run away from your gaze but you don't plan on letting him off the hook so easily

"But then how come someone like him gets your attention but I don't. I'M worthier of your love!"

"So you just think my love is a trophy of how is worthier? Al-haitham, do you truly like me or you just want me to never move one?!"

I’m working on a lil mini doodle comic,… I liked the way INTJ came out soooo I colored him.

Dude ok so I ADORE confessions/emotional confrontations in the rain, like that shit KILLS ME. The comic thing is an out of context argument between enfp and intj where intj gets angry and accidentally confesses. Then the two get all cute and sappy bc they realize they both secretly liked each other. Badda bing badda boom I give you cliche romance tropes. I’m only human man let me have this. This man has my whole heart uwu

[mbti-enemies]

im an intj girl and i’m falling for my enfp friend, he is clueless about it and i want him to know without confessing and shit. anyway i wanna to do something about it

intj here with totally subjective answer here but here goes: (also @infj feel free to add )

honestly I'd try and make them feel special - like if you are someone who is is usually hesitant to start a conversation , try and start a convo with him. Differentiate the way you are with him versus the way you are with everyone else - and if you rlly are falling for him it shouldn't be smth you have to conciously make an effort to do anyway? Oh also show them that they are on your mind more than any of your other friends ...like get them a turtle keychain cause they said their favourite animal was a turtle or send them the view of the sunrise cause they said they always wanted to see the sunset but could never be bothered to wake up early for it ( but dont say smth like "saw this and thought of you xx" cause then u might as well confess)

and maybe do little things like get them take-away coffee in the morning along with your own or surprise them with their fav pastry randomly? tbh it kinda depends on the person you are and how you choose to express liking someone but if you're falling for them just go with your gut and don't overthink things to much.

side note but intj x enfp - 10/10 pairing approved here

== Twisted Wonderland ==>

I match you up with…

Idia Shroud

Pre-relationship:

Idia doesn’t truly get along with anyone well at first, let’s be honest. He’s reclusive, and although you’ve got a lot of shared interests, he can’t get over his fears of others, even if he does find you interesting.

I like the imagine in this case that you’d be sorted into Ignihyde, given your knowledge of technology. Maybe you’d even become the vice housewarden with your talent for staying calm and realistic. 

Either way, I think your mature attitude would mean he ends up relying on you quite a bit, and so he comes to trust you, although it’s a VERY long road to true friendship. 

When you do become better friends, he comes to appreciate your maturity, passion for knowledge, and your unique hobbies and interests. I think it would be cute to buy him some dark royalty clothes, and watch him flush when he changes into them for you. 

He challenges you in terms of intelligence and technology. He has fun coding challenges and creating problems for you both to solve. 

I think he falls for you long before he admits it, both to you and to himself. Your maturity, intelligence, and the ways which you both complement and yet contradict one another. 

What can I say, opposites attract!

Confession: 

He’s definitely confessing to you in person, even if he feels like he can’t do it. He knows that he needs to face his fears to be with you, and he knows that you bring out the best in him. 

He stutters and blushes his way through it, but he is earnest and speaks words of absolute adoration about you. 

Relationship:

I think you and Idia spend a lot of time alone together. You may sit in the same room and cuddle up close while playing separate games, but he’ll absolutely be placing sporadic kisses on you. 

If you ask, he’ll shower you with all his knowledge and trivia on anything. He’ll learn all of that for you! If you’re interested in something, he’ll go out of his way to learn about it so that you two can chat. 

He’ll want to spend every second of his waking hours with you, and all the sleeping ones dreaming of you.

Daysworn lore pt I Don’t Even Know (7878)

(tw: death, murder, implied child abuse)

The brunette in the photos above is Frida Holmes, Adrianas best friend/lover. They met when Adriana was 13 & Frida was 14. The pair would be together constantly, however, the two began developing feelings for each other about six months into their friendship. Eventually, Adriana confessed her love to Frida and they began dating. However, about three years into the relationship, Adriana was going through some tough times at home, and to cope, she confided in Frida, she suggested that the two run away together, start a new life with each other. Their plan, however, was a failure, and Judas (adrianas father) threatened “If i see you with that little lover of yours again, she will not live another day” Adriana didn’t believe that he had three guts to go through with it, so she continued seeing her, however, on one cold Thursday afternoon, when Adriana went out to meet with Frida, she found her corpse, laying atop the very bench that they had their first kiss on.
