The so called "unique duality of type 6 that no other type has" really isn't that special once you actually LTR. Whether a 6 is a Rebel or a Conformist they are fixated on the same thing: Faith. Finding or creating a framework that explains reality, to give them Faith that they are ready to experience reality. Not realizing that the experience is inauthentic when it is done through the lens of a mental framework, and they don't actually need a framework for everything to be alright, they already have the power to experience reality without dying.
Typing someone as a 6 because they are a rebel or a conformist is WRONG! Other types have this same duality between rebel and conformist too. It's called being a human being and facing the dilemma between doing what is right and doing what is easy. It's the dichotomy between growth and stagnancy. Every type has its own version of it. To name one example 7 has a dichotomy between being a dumb consoomer (conformist) and being a disciplined visionary (rebel). I could go on forever.
There must be the primary fixation on Faith and building intellectual belief systems to explain reality, and an intense sense of fear and lostness without this belief system solidly intact. Or else it is not a 6.
Also there's no geometric reason for any type on the enneagram other than 9 to be a unique snowflake so please just stop trying to make snowflake 6 happen. It is never going to happen.
#Read Almaas on 6 it's incredible#So the concept of essence is related to 6#6 is the fear of death#The belief that your essence can be destroyed#So we must take all these precautions to prevent that from happening#That's where Faith comes in#6 loses Faith in its ability to Be because 6 is the birth of the fear of death#Death is fake but the 6 doesn't realize that#This explains why religions (a very 6 phenomena) focus so much on explaining the afterlife and reassuring followers of Eternal Life#The idea that my soul will die when I die is a core fear for 6 which religion puts to sleep#6 becomes scared to live (loss of Holy Faith) because any life could result in death#But they want to live so they develop faulty replacements for the lost Holy Faith#Those faulty replacements are the ideologies and the intellectual belief systems that 6s cling to#They believe these systems will allow them to navigate life without dying#But they always find themselves let down because death is inevitable no matter what you believe in#Death as in change and transition... Not destruction of the essence#6 becomes resistant to change because change evokes their fear of death and topples the systems they have placed faith in

I find it incredibly funny seeing some fans complain that the movie wasn't "lore accurate" as if FNAF has ever been consistent with its lore, like
Wow, the movie changes a lot of stuff and is not accurate to what we thought we knew? *looks at The Silver Eyes trilogy* I can't believe that, how horrible *looks at The Silver Eyes trilogy* Who would've thought they'd change stuff that makes us doubt what we know about the series *looks at the fourth fucking closet*
#five nights at freddy's#fnaf#five nights at freddy's movie#fnaf movie#five nights at freddy's movie spoilers#fnaf movie spoilers#like come on guys we knew this was gonna happen#so what if the characters aren't exactly how they are in the games?#(or how we theorise them to be)#that's classic fnaf storytelling at this point#instead of getting mad that certain points weren't like the game understand the movie like the original books#parallel timeline where things aren't like the games#but some events mirror each other so you can get new details and perspectives to stuff you thought you knew#you need to know the games lore to fully understand the movie#so why wouldn't the movie also have something to offer to the games lore like they've always done?#we just need to figure out what#or not and just enjoy the movie#FNaF is not the kind of media that needs a 100% faithful adaptation#mostly because its impossible with how confusing and convoluted the story is#so just. you know. get your popcorn and have fun#i promise it's a lot better when you have that mindset#soratsu speaks

Faiza performing the Kagnoma Odo (pretty literally 'lion dance'), a weapons dance and one of the more important ritual duties of Odonii priestesses. A relatively new addition to this traditional dance involves the musket as the primary weapon, which is fired mid-twirl into the ground at the climax of the dance. Faiza is experiencing an 'oh fuck' moment because her shot is more than ideally diagonal, but she’s being so cool with it.
This is a wholly ceremonial performance at the onset of the pilgrimage, performed in full regalia and lion skin (of the small, semi-domesticated strain) but no armor. It’s also distinctly a display of political allegiance between the powerful and beloved Odonii priesthood (and its loyal military) with the increasingly reviled and destabilized imperial family, with Faiza prominently wearing a bracelet of the royal serpent, which was gifted (along with the musket) by the usoma Stavis Amanti himself (Usoma is the Wardi word for king, which has been retained in the context of emperors).
The Kagnoma Odo is the ultimate demonstration of the Odonii as an embodiment of the Lion Face of God and living vessel of military might and sovereignty, demonstrating her fitness and proficiency with weapons and as a spiritual unifier for soldiers. It is accompanied by drumming and occurs in stages, running through the three keymost weapons used in war- the spear, the sword, and the musket. The musket is of the most significance, given the weapon has developed a particular esteem as the ultimate embodiment of might and superiority. Assistants (almost always other priestesses, occasionally high ranking soldiers) load and prime the musket to be fired at the climax of the dance, where it is shot into the ground as the priestess leaps out of range of the shot. The firing signals the end of the dance and the rite itself.
While not the utmost exemplar of trigger discipline, only fully inducted and senior (and therefore very thoroughly trained) Odonii are permitted to perform the dance, and injuries during actual performances are quite rare (though are known to occur during training, more than a few Odonii have burns and wounds on their feet).
The most important renditions of this dance are performed upon declarations of war and before battles (in this case, generally done in full armor along with the lion pelt). It is also done during some trainings (while a dance, it is carefully choreographed to include naturalistic maneuvers of the weapons involved and helps soldiers limber up and learn to move their weapons). It is regarded as an impressive and motivating sight and a morale booster, and, seen at a distance, potentially intimidating to enemies.
A special variant of this dance is performed as means of fully incarnating the Odomache, which is done in full nudity with the body covered in the blood of the freshly sacrificed lion and cloaked in its raw pelt (the lion has become the corpse of Odomache in the moment of death, as part of its recreation of God's sacrifice). Her public, full nude appearance once (and only once) in this act is what allows the Lion Face of God to incarnate within her. Those in attendance see the spiritually vulnerable, naked human body obscured with the sanctified and deified blood and cloaked in the sanctified and deified skin. It is a merger of the contradictions of mortality and divinity, the boundaries between the two indistinct in flickering firelight and the flash of musketfire. She is witnessed by her people, dangling in between humanity and divinity and leading them in dance, and and is thus transformed.
#faiza haidamane#Not really relevant to the core post itself but I don't have anywhere to put this#Faiza is a pretty extreme cultural rarity in that she's something along the lines of agnostic (regardless of her priestesshood)#It's a culturally specific form of agnosticism where the notion that God continues to exist and interact with the world in spirit form is#questioned. She personally gets the distinct vibe that God truly and wholly died in the act of creation and is no longer present#This isn't just a Her Thing it's a concept that comes up in some strains of religious philosophy but it's pretty rare#Orthopraxy is SIGNIFICANTLY more important to the faith of the seven faced god than orthodoxy so her merely thinking this isn't#a fundamental issue as long as she performs all expected rites and behaviors and etc (which she does quite devotedly) but it would#definitely not be socially accepted to openly proclaim (least of all from a senior priestess devoted to maintaining the connection of God's#spirit to Its lands and people) and she keeps it to herself.#She is the only main character who WHOLLY doesn't expect the pilgrimage and rites to end the drought. She doesn't fully DISbelieve#either (kind of like 'well maybe?') but for her this is all a very pragmatic political maneuver to stabilize the crumbling empire and#regain the people's faith in its leadership. It's not fully cynical like it means a lot to her but in a sense of very practically protectin#her beloved empire rather than a more spiritual sentiment.#It's very complicated for her like she takes her role very seriously and cares deeply for her faith while not actually believing#in it in any personal sense. More about what it represents to her than what it's supposed to literally be.#the white calf

i'm sorry but i'm a buffy apologist at heart y'all are wild if you think her reaction as a literal teenager to faith's accidental murder of an innocent was in any way wrong or bad. in what universe.
#btvs#buffy summers#faith lehane#fucking hell#sorry but buffy acted pretty damn reasonably all things considered#like yeah faith could've used the support and i understand where faith was coming from#but honestly that was something the ADULTS in their lives should have been handling#anyways i adore faith and dont think she did anything wrong ever#but i also dont think buffy has ever been in the wrong regarding her reactions to faith#and tbqf angel had no right to pull a 'this is my city' on buffy#after what faith did in the bodyswap#btvs discourse#ish#kinda just a rant lol

Speaking of your new and improved canon: what is the story behind Tony being somewhat chill with Bucky? Is he actually?
started writing LoF when i was being nostalgic for 2012 where the Avengers Tower fics were at its height of writing so in my world there is no divorce arc. I have no idea how to elaborate on that other than Tony having Peter around changed shit up because having a kid changes your world perspective a lot
#in other words#i didn't expect LoF to get this big#and it wasn't going to be posted but really just shared with alighterwood when i first wrote it#so i didn't expect to have to come up with a reason#just like how in the DC world the Bats are in a state where they're not fighting and Bruce isn't written like an asshole#our Marvel buddies got the same treatment#i have avoided going into depth about why the Avengers are still chill with each other because i just wanted to write them being happy#decidedly hard to be happy if i write the civil war arc#maybe one day i'll have an in universe reason but this is the actual one#it's probably a plot hole but it's a harmless one so we just put a slab of wood over it and say “yeehaw brother i reckon that's right”#erinwantstowrite#ao3#ao3 fanfic#leap of faith ao3#thank you for the ask!#leap of faith catch me if you can

Playing KCD 2:
Me as Henry, closely after the falling out with Hans, but because of Tumblr knowing exactly what can happen: "Oh my god, I can't believe I'm going to fuck this prat."
The catchpole: "Wait, you don't have to-"
Me, as Henry: "Oh, no, I will."
#kingdom come deliverance#kingdom come deliverance 2#kcd#kcd 2#henry of skalitz#hans capon#god#why did i search for it#im only 12 hours in#and i haven't even scratched the main quest#i wanted to stay faithful for theresa#and then i go and browse tumblr#and i realise that the girls are not the only competitors for hal's heart#fucking hans Capon#henry will#i can't resist gay historical romance#even though i normally prefer to go for old man yaoi#young men yaoi yay#im still shocked that it actually IS an option though!#i like it yes but I'm shocked nevertheless!#i just thought that hans was like 130% into girls#but I'm weak for stories where lovers shouldn't be together because of social norms but they love each other#too much to be able to resist one another#i am a forbidden love-phile

i've seen a fair bit of... pessimism about dorym lately, esp with the ep107, for example wondering if dorian's opposing views on the gods making orym fall out of love, and i have to say. i very highly doubt it, ur fr talking about the man who has held on to will for so long, holding onto will's family and affectionately calling this *his* family too because that didn't stop when will died. i dont think falling out of love is an option or even a thought to orym.
that said, we know that orym has contingencies for if anyone in bells hells crosses the line into being a version of themselves they would despise, for anyone who jeopardizes their mission. his mission. i think, for the first time since knowing dorian, orym finally has a contingency for him. the longer dorian is back, the more orym sees how scarred he is by what's happened (understandable so) and knows that dorian is with bells hells all the way. but if he isn't...
#lynx speaks#critical role spoilers#cr spoilers#dorym#dorian x orym#i'll be so fr i hardly interact with the cr fandom at large bc soooooo many people are deeply pessimistic#i want to have fun!!!!! i AM having fun#and then i come here and see the most bad faith takes in all of the world ever and its disheartening!#where's ur fucken JOY where's ur fucken WHIMSY#bells hells is one of the wackiest groups with crazy dynamics between them all and its enjoyable!#ur Allowed to enjoy the things u watch i prommy#and to that point! people keep complaining that bells hells r indecisive and there r too many opposing views muddying things etc etc#1. ofc there r a lot of views. the real world is like that too. opposing views is one of the best story elements to enrich ur made up world#2. whenever there is a Big Decisive moment many instantly go 'noooooo not like that!!! that's not what *i*wanted' (ex: the shard.)#the cast receiving backlash from fans every time they r decisive and do something objectively fucken cool and interesting#means that any time they Think about doing a Big Thing... it gets a little harder bc what if the fans hate it. again. should i even do this#separating fandom from cast is a bit more difficult for this form of media and the inherent close proximity or creators to audience#so. just. maybe some of us could chill and cool off just a little. and maybe examine why This Thing is so terrible to u. and remember.#it may be terrible to *u* but thats where it stops. the specific bad feelings u have r not always indicative of media being Bad.#sometimes it's just not ur cup of tea and i PROMMY that its okay if its not

Something interesting I've noticed about conversion stories is many people seem to have both a rebellious streak and a deep-seated, insatiable desire to learn everything.
One of my shul's well-respected members (who runs the hebrew/judaism class that will start soon) talked about how, when he lived in my town, he would sneak out of the house just to go to shul. That's what I'm doing now, and it's funny (I'm not sneaking out per se, but I am also not telling anybody I'm going to shul). There's an aspect of free-spiritedness that I notice in many converts, and it's fascinating to hear each of their stories. And you know the funniest part? They sound like my story.
#jumblr#jew by choice#jewish conversion#personal thoughts tag#sorry i'm posting so much 💀#but i have been noticing this A Lot#and i don't think its essential to be converting/converted but i think there's a reason that converts tend to have similar feelings/thought#i think the unifying trait is the desire to leave one thing and come home to another#i think for that to happen you tend to have a lot of free spirits and a lot of faith and trust#for me it's hard but i also have that in-born need to fly away - to go home and never look back#i don't say rebellious to mean bad but more like... you aren't 'adhering' to the life you were brought up in#i had rebelled against xtianity before finally accepting that i will never and cen never force myself to believe in it#and i think that's where some peoples' rebellious streak starts#again sorry i'm posting every tiny miniscule thought but B''H for guiding the story of our lives#it was SO cool and welcoming to hear that [member] grew up in my town and we go to the same shul

#obligatory jonasposting#i don’t know if i got the vibe i wanted to capture?? i feel like watching jonas race this year has ultimately been about hope#like the entire thing at its core feels like a leap of faith- of course visma was obsessively running numbers behind the scenes and#trying to prepare him as well as possible#but in the end he still hadn’t raced since april. he still had less than half the preparation and a massive question mark was following#them to the startline#but he still came. and he still believed. and everyone around him believed beyond everything else-#staff. commentators. fans. everyone was holding their breath because they don’t know where to place their bets#so it all comes down to crossing your fingers every time he gets a mechanical. saying a prayer under your breath when he loses 30 seconds.#and then stage 11 comes along! the tension is suddenly resolved and it’s like seeing the sun again!#but then things start to go downhill- but everyone still keeps hoping. the commentators i was watching were still saying “if” instead of#“when” about his podium in stage 21 because despite everything people still had hope! they don’t want to lay down the hammer#and even when he still finished second#the grief still mingled with the wonderful and beautiful fact that he still did it!#you take a step back and against all odds jonas vingegaard came back from the brink of death and podiumed the fucking tour de france!#and that heartbreak and wonder can coexist. you didn’t hope for nothing. the sky is still blue. the sun still shines. he made it.#sorry long tag rant i’m a yapper at heart y’all#me reading or listening to anything ever rn: omg this is so jonas coded!!!#jonas vingegaard#jv#tadej pogacar#remco evenepoel#wout van aert#wva#matteo jorgenson#tdf#tdf 2024#tour de france 2024#tour de france#cycling

Do you ever wonder if deep down, in Luffy's heart, he doesn't let himself worry about Zoro because he genuinely can't? Because the alternative is simply too horrifying to contemplate for even a second?
Think about how awful it was for Luffy when he lost someone very dear to him at Marineford. This person had even promised — promised! — Luffy that he would never die. That he would never leave him alone. Yet this person who was supposed to be Luffy's constant was ripped away from him, and Luffy was powerless to stop it.
"Devastated" doesn't even come close to describing the abject despair Luffy felt at that moment. He completely shut down and went catatonic.
#We talk about Zoro's devotion toward Luffy#but we don't really talk about Luffy's borderline irrational faith in Zoro#Especially pre-timeskip#when it seems like Zoro was horribly injured more often than not#and there are times where Luffy comes across as insensitive at best and uncaring at worst *COUGH* thriller bark *COUGH*#Not saying Luffy doesn't care. He obviously does; and he shows it in his own way!#But I've also seen criticism of Luffy's apparent obliviousness after Thriller Bark#and imo it's not entirely unwarranted.#There's unwavering faith yes; and I don't doubt Luffy's faith in Zoro is heartfelt and genuine#AT THE SAME TIME#there's whatever tf was going on when Luffy was genuinely shocked that Zoro was running on fumes by Sabaody#as if it never even occurred to him for a second that Zoro might not get back up after getting hit by that pacifista#and maybe it genuinely didn't occur to him...because he refuses to conceive of a world without Zoro in it#because he promised Luffy — promised him! — he would would never die#text post#my meta#one piece#monkey d. luffy#roronoa zoro#zolu#luzo#meta

#galarian slowpoke#picture this. this was the first pokémon revealed from the new DLCs for pokémon sword and shield. the pokémon company#up until this point‚ has never done DLC for a pokémon game before. you‚ having been jaded by shitty DLCs for other games in the past#now have a distaste for the phrase‚ and imagine this can't be good. then‚ in their teaser for the new DLC‚ they add a little event#into the game where they reveal one of the new pokémon that is going to be added in the DLC#and it is a galarian form. that is identical to the original pokémon. but with a yellow head#are you imagining it. now how fucking disappointed are you. how little faith do you have in that DLC that it's going to be as good as it wa#for the most part‚ the pokémon company has demonstrated that they do absolutely excellent DLCs. proper expansions#basically an entire other game on top of the game you already have. and they typically take up the release cycle of a full game#scarlet/violet's especially. WONDERFUL dlc. i never really properly finished the crown tundra just because i was so late to the party#because i avoided buying the dlc for so long because of this experience that i've just described to you#that by the time i bought it and played it‚ it was just because SV had been announced and i wanted more pokémon to tide me over#and i never finished it. one of these days‚ i'd like to go back and finish it‚ but i'm playing through pokémon xd gale of darkness right no#and i prefer to play. one game at a time. and i don't know when i'll ever really get back to it#or if i'll ever get back to it! 'cause without resetting my save file all the way i'll just have to Remember what it is that already happen#which i'm. notoriously bad at when it comes to coming back to games that i haven't played in a while#plus i know sv is like shitty performance or whatever but the movement in that game is so much better#it feels so much more freeing than going back to gen 8 where you can still just. run. and that's it#i know nobody likes scarlet/violet but i still. like it. performance aside. like yes the performance is terrible but i still had a great#time with it. i just praised its DLC for fuck's sake! its DLC was fuckin wonderful! it has kieran in it so it like can't be bad

ok but fr I hope none of the letter writers feel personally responsible for this just because Wayne didn’t just say “I took being told I did a racist thing as being accused of being Racist and had a knee jerk reaction to that, sorry” and then also acknowledging that taking the pizza tower sponsorship in the first place was bad and they are sorry. Don’t try to explain why you did it, don’t try to backtrack it, just say “we realize now that this was a bad thing and we will do better in the future” and then actually fucking do it.
im sorry that some loud and vitriolic bigots have given you grief and given them big heads.
I hope they’re undergoing a lot of reflection while writing that statement. and maybe deciding they shouldn’t be allowed to respond to fan messages of concern in the discord until you’ve had a proper moment to digest everything and think that you may be wrong this time and not everybody is a parasocial pseudofan out to get you. It ain’t 2021 anymore my dudes
Also “this isn’t us” okay whatever. Maybe the appropriate thing to say would be “this has been us and it’s not okay and it’s reached a boiling point and things are going to change from now on”
#rtvs#rtvs has been so intense about avoiding parasocial relationships#granted they boomed in popularity right next to the dream smp which was just about the worst of the worst in that regard#but it means that a lot of them seem they’re somehow above controversy without realizing#they’re VERY popular. they’re public figures and they have a duty to act as such#and they’re at the point where they can still talk to fans in their own discord great#but that just means that when a well meaning fan comes to them with concern they need to be open to that rather than brushing it off becaus#‘I can’t be racist I did this and this and this’#but you are a group of predominantly white people in America and Canada and that comes with#an entire society built off of racism and discrimination#and we are all unlearning it but when mistakes are made#even if it’s with a company like fan gamer that you’ve worked with in good faith before#you need to be willing to understand when you’ve made a mistake#and the way rtvs handles their fanbase right now has them thinking they are above all criticism

Gang, I can't lie, I think I'm going insane over Edward Norton
Every single time I'm in hyperfixation limbo and try going back to an old interest, my brain finds a random man to just jingle jangle in front of me like a bunch of keys...
Death to Smoochy has been one of my fave movies for months now (I need to draw stuff so bad and post them, you do not even understand how deeply in love with Sheldon Mopes I am !!! I already have a goofy crossover fanfic I'm writing but that's for me only bc no one knows the other movie), but that was because of Robin Williams hyperfixation, now I've watched other movies Norton has been in and aourhghghh............ Maybe I'll finally watch Fight Club, I finally have a reason............ heavy sigh.............. save me
#WHY DID I GET THE MAN AUTISM#LIKE GENUINELY WHY CAN'T I GO INSANE OVER COOL TOPICS THIS OFTEN#WHY DO YOU KEEP GIVING ME RANDOM MEN.#WHERE DID HE EVEN COME FROM#what watching Keeping the Faith does to a mfer#whatever he's pretty and i'm gay#edward norton#death to smoochy#sheldon mopes#fight club

I tuned into the earnings call and they didn't mention DAV much at all ? except to say this reaffirms their commitment to choose multiplayer projects over single-player ones 😭
#publishers arent a charity but at the same time studios shouldnt have to fight for resources idk#or inject online features where they dont belong#if youre faithful to your audience and execute your ideas well the money will come naturally its not THAT risky mister wilsonnn

wait guys... i just thought about smth...
specifically thinking about LoF, not just in general. I might do smth for when I it 4000 followers on here (like a DTIYS or smth else if anyone has any ideas? maybe start the LoF drabble/oneshots/etc fic with the POV of whoever wins this poll)
#LoF popularity poll#i'm actually curious#because it might be different from having a fav canon character ig?#erinwantstowrite#ao3#ao3 fanfic#leap of faith ao3#leap of faith catch me if you can#leap of faith#peter parker in gotham#I KNOW TONY ISN'T HERE#I RAN OUT OF SPACE#tumblr nuked me again y'all#i know steph and duke and cass haven't had as much time with peter yet#but they DO get their own arc with him#where the others get busy/have to do shit#and peter gets more time with those three#duke for the most part#because they're super powered buddies#i need to come up with a name for them#like a team name
