Healthy/Unhealthy Type 6

Healthy Social 6

Kitty Pryde 6w7 (so/sx)- Kitty's development is all about community and standing up for what she believes. As a super ego type she goes forward in most of her appearances to fight for community and the well being for others.

Clare Deblin (6w5 so/sp)- While very anxious i think she is the most realistic display of an average SO6. Her desire to fit in and be in community with her friends constantly makes her feel comfortable in herself.

Marie Moreau (6w5 so/sp)- in the beginning of the show we see her having trouble to come out of her shell. By the end of the show we see how Maries core desire is for stability and community.

Unhealthy Social 6 

Dvorah (6w5 so/sp)- Constantly using others for her own benefit and doing everything she can to control the hive.

The Deep (6w7 so/sx)- Insecure, dumb and creepy. He is constantly using the community around him to hide his true intentions. As well as his incompetence makes him rely on others constantly to fix his messes.

Greg Hirsh (6w7 so/x)- Similar to the past two characters he uses the system around to move upwards in life eventually landing him In a place he can never move.

Healthy Self Preservation 6

Allison Argent (6w7 sp/sx)- While she has her ups and downs she always kept her desires in check and tried helping as much peoples as possible. Eventually dying to save her friends (the movie didn't happen).

Miles Morales (6w7 sp/so)- He started insecure and worried about whats his place in the world and by the end of movie we see him fully accept the mantle of spider man.

Frank Shang (6w5 sp/so)- He initially had a confidence problem but with patience and friends he managed to out through and become an excellent leader.

Unhealthy Self Preservation 6 

Josie from bottoms (6w5 sp/so)- She started a fight club to get with a girl she liked... While allot of her actions are morally dubious we see her eventually recognize the wrong she did and ask Isabelle a second chance.

Ashley Brown (6w5 sp/so)- Her anxiety makes her jump to conclusions fast and in most choices ends with her throwing others under the buss.

Peter Pettigrew (6w7 sp/so)- He hides behind other due to his vulnerability and incompetence. Eventually leading to his own death.

Healthy Sexual 6

Flame Princess (6w7 sx/so)- When we first meet her we see how sheltered she was due to her fire powers. As the series goes on we see how she struggles with her fear of who's true intentions are and who truly has her best intents for her. In the end of the show we see a fully realized FP who's interrogated to her 9 and found peace and love in community as the fire kingdoms Queen.

Natasha Romanoff (6w5 sx/sp)- Her health levels are completely up for debate however I see Natasha as a 6 who's worked to integrate too her 9.

Sango (6w5 sx/so)- Similar to FP she struggles to understand who to truly trust in the current stage. In her chase for her brother she learns to trust others and be vulnerable. Eventually falling for Miroku.

Unhealthy Sexual 6

Laura Palmer 6w7 (sx/so)- Her struggle to find stability in her life ends with her disintegrating fully to 9. Becoming sad and in need to feel something.

Jacob Black 6w7 (sx/so)-While he started well in the first movie. Once he became a werewolf he was constantly chasing after Bella even when she stated she wasn't interested.

Carla Roson (6w5 sx/so)- Looking for stably and peace in the first place makes her struggle with her relationship with Polo. Once S2 starts we see her trying to seduce Samuel to let his guard down. Eventually falling for him. In S3 we see how she fully disintegrates towards 9 in order to maintain her house hold steady. In the end she leaves las Encinas.

[welllpthisishappening]

Hello! Just dropping in to tell you that I follow your goodreads and you are my go-to for new book recommendations. I also sometimes panic when I come across a book that seems super interesting but you haven't read it and I'm like, "BUT HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW IF IT'S GOOD OR NOT???" Anyway, I read Hart and Mercy (LOVED IT and hope there's a sequel someday) and The Ex Hex (enjoyable but lacking in some areas and also it's totally Emma & Killian). Now reading Kiss Curse! My point: BIG THANK

hello, hi, yes, i love this. listen, i read—a lot. like summer 2020 happened and 1999!era laura rose from the depths of my soul and was like TIME TO READ EVERY BOOK WE POSSIBLY CAN IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN SOME SEMBLANCE OF SANITY.

and now that i'm pretty much watching college basketball non-stop and spending most of my free time on team busses, i'm reading (somehow) even more??? (and reading occasionally trashy books, like, 20 feet away from a bunch of college kids. i know no fear or shame). but the basic gist of this very long intro is that:

I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE ENJOYING THE BOOKS BASED ON WHAT I ENJOY AND MY RIDICULOUS/RAMBLING GOODREADS REVIEWS. IT'S VERY NICE AND HART AND MERCY MADE ME SOB. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF THAT VERY WEIRD, DECIDEDLY LOVELY BOOK.

agreed on the ex hex, but i am willing to overlook a lot of plot 'ish for some good banter and both books in that series have had top tier banter so far.

at this point, i will read...pretty much anything if there is kissing in it. my kindle unlimited algorithm doesn't know what to do with me.

(also: everyone please come tell me what you're reading. let's talk about books. and kissing in books. it's my favorite thing. aside from maybe my basketball team winning today. or the rangers winning tonight. top-3, at least.)

Fraser Island Tour: 18.11.22 (Tag 1)

Bus, Sand, Meer, Dingos

Am morgen checke ich aus und versuche den Treffpunkt für die Tour zu finden. Nach 10 Minuten Verspätung und einer nicht vergebenen Telefonnummer bin ich mir fast sicher, abgezogen worden zu sein, als der Bus dann doch um die Ecke biegt. Puh, zum Glück...

Der Busfahrer meinte, es dauere ca. 1,5 h bis wir am ersten Spot ankommen also beschließe ich keine Reisetablette zu nehmen und nutze die Zeit um meinen Apfelmuffin fertig zu essen. Auf der Fähre werden wir das erste Mal während des tripps belehrt, dass wir keinesfalls ins Meer dürfen. Hier seien die tödlichsten Quallen und viele Haie. Wenn man im Meer, Fische aus dem Wasser springen sieht heißt das vermutlich dass hier ein Hai unterwegs ist... Beruhigend nicht wahr? Wir kommen an einem See an und die Gäste die über Nacht bleiben müssen den Bus wechseln und bekommen gesagt wie lange die Pause andauert... 1 h Zeit... Blöd nur, dass sich ein Histaminschub ankündigt... Nach einem Apfelmuffin. Was zur Hölle? Darf ich überhaupt noch irgendwas essen? Ich bin genervt und versuche mich mit Atmung und positiven Affirmationen zu beruhigen. Ich verbringe 15 Minuten auf dem Klo und bin kurz vor einem Heulkrampf, der sich dann doch verhindern lässt.😅 Ein paar Iberogast tropfen und ganz viel Liebe für meinen Bauch später ist der (zum Glück) kleine Schub überstanden. Zurück im Bus geht es wieder an der Küste entlang in den Wald zu einem Bach für einen kleinen Walk. (Vorletztes Bild) Das Wasser ist komplett klar, auch wenn es schlammig aussieht, das liegt daran, dass das Flussbett (wie alles auf der Insel) komplett aus Sand besteht. Echt beeindruckend.

Fraser Island ist echt interessant. Straßen gibt es nicht. Die Autos und Busse fahren alle (mit einem Affen- tempo) am Strand entlang. Die größte Sandinsel der Welt mit einer unglaublichen Flora und Fauna. Kein Wunder, dass der andere Bus (indem wir am morgen noch saßen) zweimal auf der Strecke liegen bleibt. Zum Lunch geht es ins Resort um danach eine Wanderung durch den Wald zu einem anderen See zu unternehmen. Wirklich tolle Umgebung, nur muss man ständig auf den Boden schauen beim Laufen.😅

Am See gibt es kleine Fische, die an deinen Füßen und Beinen herumknabbern, was sich ekelig anhört, fühlt sich in Wahrheit echt gut an. So sitze ich da und genieße einfach das sein, bevor es wieder zurück zum Bus geht und wir auf dem Weg einen wilden Dingo begegnen. Wow. wie cool... 😍 Um ehrlich zu sein, hätte mir jemand gesagt, das sei sein Hund, hätte ich das wohl auch geglaubt.😅 Kaum zu glauben, dass diese so süßen Tiere tatsächlich so gefährlich sein sollen... Überall auf der Insel befinden sich Warnschilder und (Bild drei) manchmal sogar Käfige. Nein, nicht um die Dingos einzufangen, sondern um dein Essen vor ihnen zu schützen...😅 Kein Scherz...

Nun heißt es einchecken, duschen und warten bis wir uns zum Abendessen treffen.

Mein eigenes Zimmer... Seit ca.3 Wochen, ich bin soooo Happy über dieses riesen Zimmer und beschließe somit nicht all zu lange mit den anderen in der Bar zu sitzen. Außerdem sind das überwiegend Engländer und Iren und ich verstehe sie furchtbar schlecht.😅 Hinzu kommt dass mich Laura überzeugt hat mit ihr den Sonnenaufgang um 4:15 anzuschauen.😳 Also... Gute Nacht.

[sonneundmondreisen]

Laura aus Valle de Anton, 26.12.22

Seit dem letzten Eintrag sind nun fast 3 Wochen vergangen. Wir sind mittlerweile seit einer Woche in Panama. Nach unserer wunderschönen Zeit in Uvita sind wir ins Landesinnere gefahren um in La Fortuna die Gegend rund um den Vulkan Arenal zu erkunden.

Dieser ist zuletzt 1968 ausgebrochen und darf nicht bestiegen werden, da er weiterhin aktiv ist. La Fortuna ist ein kleiner, aber sehr touristischer Ort, der sich als Ausgangspunkt für Unternehmungen zu verschiedenen Nationalparks und Wasserfällen anbietet. Wir verstehen uns sehr gut mit der Familie, der unser AirBnB gehört. Besonders die Gastgeberin ist unheimlich herzlich. Sie näht uns kostenlos die Löcher in unserer Kleidung und schenkt uns Zuckerkringel. Phúc versteht sich gut mit ihrem älteren Sohn Nacho, der auch gerne wandert und uns anbietet, uns zu einem Wasserfall mit Badestelle zu führen, den nur die Ticos (Costa Ricaner*innen) kennen. Um dort hin zu gelangen, kriechen wir zuerst durch ein Loch im Zaun, wandern einige hundert Meter, durchqueren einen Fluss und erreichen schließlich den malerischen Wasserfall von La Fortuna. Wir schwimmen den halben Tag im türkisblauen Wasser, das aus den umliegenden Bergen kommt und sehen Nacho zu, wie er Saltos von den Felsen macht. Im Nationalpark Mistico laufen wir über Hängebrücken, wobei ich mal wieder dem Impuls widerstehen muss, von der Brücke zu hüpfen. Wir treffen sehr viele Nasenbären, diese sind überraschend zutraulich und (neu)gierig und entdecken auch einige Affen in den Baumwipfeln.

Von La Fortuna fahren wir mit einem Zwischenstopp in San José weiter in den Südosten des Landes nach Puerto Viejo. Puerto Viejo liegt an der Karibikküste nahe der panamaischen Grenze. Die Karibikseite Costa Ricas unterscheidet sich sehr vom (weißen) Rest des Landes. Die Provinz Limon hat starke afro-karibische Einflüsse, insbesondere jamaikanische „Gastarbeiter*innen“ haben die Kultur der Ostküste geprägt. Diese litten lange Zeit unter staatlicher Segregation und durften den Bereich Limon nicht verlassen. Heutzutage lebt die dritte Generation afro-karibischer Ticos in Limon. Nirgends ist Pura Vida so sehr zu spüren wie in Puerto Viejo. Anders als im Rest des Landes hat das Tico Essen endlich mal eine intensive Würze. Reis wird hier über Nacht in Kokosmilch eingelegt und Saucen werden mit Kokos, Chili und Ananas verfeinert. Puerto Viejo ist ein kleines entspanntes Städtchen mit Hippie Flair. Unser AirBnB liegt nur wenige Meter vom Strand entfernt. Endlich kann Phúc wieder Beachvolleyball spielen!! Währenddessen gehe ich zwischen den Palmen spazieren oder lerne über die Tiere in einer Wildtier-Auffangstation. Im Cahuita Nationalpark kann man gegen Spende kilometerweit durch den Regenwald laufen. Dort entdecken wir eine Schlange, eine Waschbärfamilie und viele Krabben.

Mit dem Bus wären es nur einige Stunden Fahrtzeit rüber nach Panama, doch wir haben leider bereits einen Flug gebucht, da wir davon ausgingen, unsere Weiterreise bei der Einreise nachweisen zu müssen. Letztendlich wurde diese von den costa-ricanischen Grenzpolizisten nicht kontrolliert und wir blieben auf den Flugtickets sitzen. Von San José geht es weiter nach Panama City. Dort bleiben wir nur eine Nacht und nehmen anschließend einen Bus nach Valle de Anton. Anders als im touristischen Costa Rica ist die Infrastruktur in Panama vergleichsweise schwach ausgebaut, zumindest was Reiserouten betrifft. Auch auf langen Strecken fahren ausschließlich Chicken Busse, die an jedem Klohaus halten, mit offener Tür fahren und die meisten Passagiere stehend transportieren.

Laura Branigan - Self Control

Hello! I am soooo behind (I'm basically uploading 3 songs every 3 weeks, so that every time I can work on this shiz is a shitton of work, oh well) (second edit: I have to work on 5 songs today. Bye bye free Sunday)

Laura Branigan is our second featured artist on this 80s month, with the song 'Self Control'. Such an amazing track, which showcases Laura's beautiful voice. What is there to know about her and her music?

About the artist

Laura Branigan was a singer, songwriter and actress from New York (US). As it seems to be normal for most of the US population, Laura had to start supporting herself right after becoming an adult (which at least was a bit more manageable in the 60s and 70s) and while doing so waiting tables, studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

You must be tired of hearing this, but again, I won't transcribe the whole wiki article on my blog. You can read it where it's linked, not before I say, and I must do so, that Laura deserved way more recognition than she had, and as it turns out with a lot of other artists, here most famous song may not actually be the best one, but that is just an opinion.

Even if I just said that, I was happy to read that there is an award at Byram Hills High School in Armonk, New York (where she grew up), called the 'Laura Branigan Memorial Scholarship' and it is given annually to a senior for excellence in the performing arts.

Pretty cool that they support people with a scholarship, so financially, and even cooler that it is related to art, unlike most others that are only given to students successful in sports, maths or sciences.

Laura released 7 studio albums, according to the wiki. One of them, and the one that contains 'Self Control' as its second track, is her second LP also titled 'Self Control', released on 1984.

About the song

It came as a surprise to me that 'Self Control' is not an original song, but a cover from the Italian singer Raf. However, it was all in good terms, taking in count that for example, Giancarlo Bigazzi, the same writer for this song, also co-wrote 'Gloria', another Laura's song, her most famous one actually.

Any meaning?

Yes, and this time it is not only my take (though it was pretty similar to what I found), but actually Bryan Buss' from allmusic.com (which the Wiki cited, so)

(It is) about finding sex in the seamy side of town, (and) sparked a bit of a controversy, but ended up being her second biggest hit. The song itself works, but Branigan was never a sex bomb, so the fact that she pulls it off is indicative of her power as a performer.

I mean, do I have to say anything else? RIP Laura, you'll always be remembered with love ♥

hi! new critter & perc'ahlia shipper here. is vex officially a woc now? and if yes, has laura addressed that as the (white) one playing/voicing her? just curious. thanks!

hi!

it really depends on which point in the show's run you're looking at. in the official art by kit buss for campaign one, vex has always been drawn as white:

she was also drawn as white in the comics, where campaign 1's pre-stream adventures are told, in vox machina origins series I and II:

(series II began publication in 2019, the same time as the dalen's closet one-shot pictured above, which means any pre-production aspects of it were decided probably no later than the end of 2018.)

she was also pretty light in the legend of vox machina's kickstarter trailer released early 2019 (so character designs were probably finalized in mid-2018):

but around late 2019/early 2020, the cast and crew seem to have realized that vox machina had, up to that point, been...rather pale, generally. because once series III began in early 2021, all of the characters received redesigns, and while scanlan and pike were already a bit darker in series II, they were even more so in series III, while vex and vax were also given darker skin:

and of course in the legend of vox machina, which began pre-production in 2019 (so things like character designs would have been finalized probably by the end of that year), these particular changes were kept, albeit with slightly different undertones:

basically, the entire cast was originally white until recent supplementary materials and the cartoon. it's not inaccurate, necessarily, to draw vex and vax as white, but the change to their skin tone seems to be the new status quo, and as far as i know fandom has embraced the change.

to my knowledge, none of the cast has remarked on it, laura included. (they may have said something in one of the behind-the-scenes videos on the development of tlovm, but i've not seen them all, so i couldn't tell you.) more than likely they probably won't comment on it, if for no other reason than that they don't want to look like they're using racial diversity as a gimmick or a promotional tool. i think for the most part they try to be careful about portraying non-white characters as white actors, but it's a different scenario when the characters have their races changed retroactively—especially in a context like this where physical appearances are relatively malleable.

i hope this answered your question; welcome to the fandom!
