“I kill where I wish and none dare resist. Then I was but young and tender. Now I am old and strong, strong, strong, Thief in the Shadows!” he gloated. “My armour is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!” —The Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolkien

OOPS IM WATCHING FELLOWSHIP OF THE RINGS AGAIN also got me thinking about my s/i. So since I'm self shipping with not just Aragorn but Arwen too now.. basically I'm revamping my si ....welcome Kaden you stealth elf archer/theif...sonofabi---
*we'll be right back screen and loud beeeeeep*
ANYWAYS
It seems like whenever I make a polyship it's always me being like "I love you both and I don't know what to do" but THIS TIME I'm making that person be Aragorn. He falls for both Arwen and Kaden and for awhile he struggles to voice his dilemma in fear of both of them walking out of his life.
Also Kaden is 1000% already from the get go openly states that they like Arwen as more than a friend.
Which is pretty funny because Kaden gets the balls to walk up to her father and just go "Not to sound blunt but, I love your daughter."
He smiles and says "who doesn't she is most stunning." In a joking manner and Kaden is basically like
"No you don't get it... I'm IN love with Arwen"
And he has a wtf moment later because he wasn't listening fully. Ever since then whenever Kaden comes around Elrond is always like
"Arwen. Your.........person is here"
Both Elrond and Kaden never actually TELL Arwen that Kaden is in love with her lol
then it becomes a huge big kerfuffle when Kaden sees Aragorn with Arwen in a somewhat loving embrace and Kaden is all like
"well duh she wouldn't go for someone like me..."
And they get all sad and depressed and that's when they finally officially meet Aragorn and he noticed how down they were. He manages to cheer them up and ever since they've become close friends to the point where Aragorn starts to feel a little more than friendship towards them and Kaden feels the same BUT Kaden also remembered that time they saw him with Arwen so they don't say anything right away because they think he has Arwen, confessing would only end badly, which this leaves Aragorn feeling conflicted.
Arwen is pretty upset as well, after Kaden saw Aragorn and Arwen together they stopped coming around, only when absolutely necessary and it broke Arwen's heart a bit because she really does enjoy Kaden's company and missed their laugh, their smile, and the way they'd always be so funny and goofy in front of her. (Kaden never really told Arwen that hey seen Aragorn and her together as it would be weird to do so) Arwen did humor the idea of these feelings possibly be relating to love for them, more than friendship kinds of love. She just wasn't sure until she could have a proper visit with them again.
So Kaden is like AUUGGHHHH ARWEN LOVES ARAGORN and Aragorn is like WTF DO I DOI HAVE FALLEN FOR 2 ELVES and Arwen is like I LOVE ARAGORN BUT WHAT IS THIS OTHER FEELING FOR KADEN!?
It's Messy :)

"The INFP Archetypes"
What makes INFPs different from each other? Well there are many factors. Obviously not all INFPs are the same, and other parts of typology like enneagram, ivs, and socionics do affect this. Some INFPs are also more in tune with their weaker functions (Si and Te) than others. Like the other types, INFPs also have different "archetypes" that are often seen as "general representations" of them. Obviously because mbti is so nuanced and complex, don't fret if you don't identify with any of these! They're very simplified, so not relating doesn’t mean you're not an INFP!
So now let's get into some of the most notable archetypes
1. The Dreamer
The most notable INFP archetype, one could call it "the INFP poster child." The dreamer is a pure, innocent, curious, sensitive, and idealistic INFP. The dreamer looks at the world with wide, starry-eyes, and wears their heart on their sleeve. Usually the dreamer is also very romantic poetic, and/or artistic, and they have a wild imagination. The dreamer sees the good in everyone and might often merge with/be present in tropes like the manic pixie dream girl, or the soft boy. They have a tendency to be portrayed as mysterious or misunderstood.
Examples of the dreamer: Belle (Beauty & the Beast), Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Amelie, Juliet (Romeo & Juliet), Anne Shirley (Anne of Green Gables), and Celine (Before Trilogy)
2. The Mediator
The mediator shares the same traits as the dreamer (pure, sensitive, kind-hearted, etc.) but plays a different role in the story. Typically the dreamers are protagonists, while mediators usually have secondary roles. The mediator often acts as a voice of reason, to keep the protagonist in touch with their humanity or to just listen whenever someone needs to let it all out. The mediator is typically very quirky and non-conformist. The mediator is empathetic and usually soften-spoken, but they're not afraid to stand up for others or what they believe in.
Examples of the mediator: Silvermist (Tinkerbell), Mantis (MCU), Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter), Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury (Sailor Moon), and Lucy Pevensie (Narnia)
3. The Seeker
The seeker, once again, shares the same traits as the other two but has an emphasis on curiosity and imagination. The seeker is not afraid to ponder life's deeper, more complex questions.
As said by @dragonflymage, the seeker often asks themselves questions like
Why do I exist?
Who am I really inside?
How do I fit?
Where do I belong?
They also go on to add this explanation: "A seeker, continuously looking for answers that we never may find, but that we must keep searching for anyway. "
(If you wanna read more from her post I've reblogged it on my page) While they search for these answers, the seeker oftentimes will go on a "hero's journey" in hopes of finding the answer along their quest
Examples of the seeker: Merlin (BBC), Newt Scamander (Fantastic Beasts/HP), Luke Skywalker (Star Wars), Edward Scissorhands, and Frodo (LOTR)
4. The Emotional Villain
As you can see this one is a complete 180 compared to the other three lol. This pattern doesn't exactly have a name, so I just made one up.
Pretty much all INFP villains I've seen are driven by their emotions. Afterall, Fi is our dominant function. The emotional villain is driven by personal reasons and experiences, they're not just evil for the sake of being evil. Typically the emotional villain is very moody, disturbed, and/or unstable. They are usually the direct opposite of their other INFP counterparts: they are selfish, ruthless, and blood-hungry.
Examples of the emotional villain: Wanda Maximoff (MCU), Joker (2019 ver), and Kylo Ren (Star Wars).
5. The Angsty Teen
Another really common portrayal of INFPs in media is the angsty teen. This archetype is pretty self explanatory, an angsty hormonal teenager. The angsty teen often struggles with social anxiety, and/other another mental illness. They also might have trust issues, be really moody, or hurting from unrequited love or some other trauma. The angsty teen often copes through artistic means, like poetry or painting.
I feel the feelings on this archetype are very divided. While a lot of people don't like having that image as a representation of their type, some argue that it's a realistic portrayal of the darker side of being an INFP. I personally feel like the angsty teen represents my inner conflicts, while the dreamer, mediator, and seeker represent my outward behavior most of the time. What are your thoughts?
Examples of the angsty teen: Shinji Ikari (Evangelion), Will Byers (Stranger Things), Cassie Ainsworth (Skins), Kou Mabuchi (Blue Spring Ride), Violet Parr (The Incredibles), Nico di Angelo (Percy Jackson), Charlie Kelmeckis (The Perks of Being a Wallflower), Elio Perlman (Call Me By Your Name), Todd Anderson (Dead Poets Society), Fischl (Genshin Impact), Lydia Deetz (Beetlejuice) and Cry Baby (K-12)
There's plenty more archetypes but I thought I'd just focus on these 5. Also remember that these archetypes don't represent all INFPs as a whole, they’re just like "INFPs in a nutshell."
What are your thoughts? Which archetypes do you relate to? Which one's your favorite? Which one's your least favorite?
