#but i want to learn how to draw more realistically and less like the sp style

[ronweasleyisourking]

So, I know this quote is usually used in a romantic context but I was talking to someone on Instagram the other day, and trying to explain how I felt George and Fred Weasley were different and they quoted this to me and honestly, it perfectly captures their dynamic (people who ship them, please leave, this post is not for you) and now I’m going to use it and my classification system (which was literally created because of them) to explain the not-so-subtle differences between George and Fred.

Note that a lot of this is based on how I see them and may not line up with your headcanons.

In a post I made earlier this week, I outlined a classifcation system to help sort and build characters (and also learn some interesting things about yourself), and in it, I classified George as Facts Positive - Science Disorganized - Strategical Planning (FP-SD-SP) and Fred as Art Inclusive - Math - Strategical Instinct (AI-M-SI) which naturally confused a couple of people because why would I think that characters so alike have such different personalities?

The short answer is, of course they don’t have the same personality, their personalities would clash too much if they did. Their personalities bounce off each other and that’s why their dynamic works so well. 

Now for the full analysis on why I classified them the way I did.

How They See the World

George sees the world as it is, realistically, with all of it’s strengths and faults, especially the faults, and he wants desperately for it to better (Facts Positive) and Fred sees the world as it could be and wants to be a part in making the world better (Art Inclusive). George wants the world that his brother sees and Fred sees the world that his brother wants and together, they do make the world a little bit better. 

To quote the Half-Blood Prince, “Set against the dull, poster-muffled shop fronts around them, Fred and George’s windows hit the eye like a fireworks display.” This is a little glimpse of the better world that George wants and Fred sees. And by classifying them this way, I in no way mean that George is less creative than Fred, I am simply saying that George wants to know a better world and Fred can already see it.

How They Organize the World

Fred is quicker to judge and sees everything as black and white, good or evil - great idea or terrible idea (Math), while George looks at things through different perspectives and organizes people and things after a lot of thought, though he can’t really explain how he organizes them (Science Disorganized). These classifications are not saying that George is more disorganized than Fred, it's about about how their minds work differently.

How They React to the World

Fred is great at jumping into things (Strategical Instinct), the more fiery of the two, and while George is great when put on the spot too, he’s definitely the more subdued of the two and sometimes needs time to think - to plan (Strategical Planner) and while I have zero canon evidence, I truly believe he actually prefers the time to plan, to not immediately spring to action.

Again, I admit that George is often shown to be just as instinctive as Fred, but I also believe that behind the scenes, George is the one that gets his brother to stop and think every once and while, before they go running into a situation without a plan, and that is why they are able to open a business so quickly. Because they have Fred’s quick instinct and George’s thought out plans. 

Finally, back to the quote. 

George is the one who makes the plans for the world, the one who draws it out, and Fred is the one to color it in - to make it brighter. The reason they work so well together isn’t because they have the same personality, it’s because they don’t. George needs someone who will push him to make his dreams reality and Fred needs someone to add reality to his dreams, and they are able to do that for each other and that is why they have such a perfect dynamic.

Final 31 [2018 Edition] Day 11: Updated Top Oshi List!

I also did this last year but was primarily focused on stage actors (see here). But this time, I’m going to put my ULTIMATE oshi list. So every single one of them! Are you ready?!I also did this last year but was primarily focused on stage actors (see here). But this time, I’m going to put my ULTIMATE oshi list. So every single one of them! Are you ready?!

7. Aramaki Yoshihiko

We all know my history and relationship with this boy. Unfortunately he had knee surgery around March this year and took ‘3 months off’ (which actually ended up being 2 weeks) in order to receive rehabilitation and such. He also promised to do less 2.5 this year and he’s done that by doing a serious movie and he tried two straight plays around September/October of this year. He did really great in Heaven's Record (review here) and I am interested in seeing his serious movie but... because of his recovery time, because he's so damn popular now, and because he is still in crazily popular 2.5 shows, I've hardly had any time or chance to see him. He solo event shows are now held at venues that hold THOUSAND people in one go, his randoms are the most sought after so I have to drop hundreds of dollars to just glimpse at a chance of getting his stuff, it's impossible to hit for any of his 2.5 plays now... it's just all very disheartening and because of that, towards the end of the year, I don't even both doing his stage senkous, watch his Live Streams or use my TokiEnta FC account anymore! So it's been a rough year... I'm hoping my massive stack of still unwatched Maki-chan dvds and going through all my goods over new years break will kick my MakiChan spirit back into full gear or else... he might be gone for good from this list this time next year!

6. Tanaka Hiroki

I love Hiroki so much! I can't describe it but out of all my oshis, I fell the most intimate towards him. Maybe it's because we actually talk after events or stages, maybe it's because he clearly pays attention to me during stuff, maybe it's because we reply to each other on twitter, I don't know but I feel like I have a friendship with him rather than a actor-fan relationship. He's so great and I love watching him on stage, he always plays great characters, he chooses amazing stories to be a part of, the friends he has around him are so funny and great too! He makes me so happy ^_^

5. Domoto Shohei

Seeing Domoto change this much has made me so proud of him! He's definitely gained more acting chances, more chances to do what he likes (photobook, events, singing etc.) and you can see his confidence and his positivity really coming through this year! He's had some amazing acting opportunities! Lucky Stage was a HIT and completely sold out every time! He got to do some ODAC stages and even was lead a few times! He did different but great characters in Bancho Stages. I am so looking forward to what he does next! I am super upset I couldn't go to his birthday event but I was smoothered in a cold and I didn't want to infect anyone or ruin the mood *cries* so I'll have to definitely go the next time!

4. Futaba Yuu

Another who I am just so proud of how far he's come this year! I got so emotional at his live back the beginning of the year and every time he as a live, more and more people keep coming! Also I feel like YuuKun genuinely gets happy to see me and makes it really obvious so it makes me feel special (I am a simple being okay!) I seriously cannot wait to see him two more times before the year ends!! I love his music, the acting chances he's had this year have been great, I am so excited to see what happens in the future!

3. Kim HeeChul

This bitch. This BITCH! << Don't worry, it's my pet name for it, no negativity intended ^_^ this bitch has come in, destroyed my life and I am loving EVERY SECOND of it! I'm so glad I discovered and got to love him BEFORE learning/realising he was a SuJu member! I fell for his personality completely thanks to Knowing Bros; he's funny, he's crazy, he's sweet, he's crazy, he's a total nerd, he's crazy, he's very honest, and crazy, he's realistic, he's crazy, and he just brings me so much joy! Actually, my biggest connection to him is: the more I got to know him, the more I realised just how scarily similar we are! So he's pretty much become my big brother! I swear to god we were separated at birth. We swear we were siblings in a past life. I have never met someone so similar to myself, but he is also different enough for me not to be like 'so similar I hate him' situation. Argh he gives me so much joy and I am so thankful I saw him live this year!

2. Yanagishita Tomo

Ahhh Tomo! You shall never leave my heart. Going on 9 years that this boy has been in my life. 9 years of supporting him. I am always excited for the next thing he does. This year I went a little outside the box and started sending him Shikishis (hard paper with a message and/drawing on it) for his birthday and for big events, so hopefully he appreciates it. He has had some amazing acting chances this year! He did two Romeo and Juliettes this year which were different, yet they were both brilliant! Amazing acting! Amazing stages! Loved them both! Then at the end of this year, he got to achieve his dream of being in a Gekidan Shinkansen stage which made me super happy! So now that he got one of his major dreams achieved, I wonder what's in store for him next!

1. Kamenashi Kazuya

Ahhhh my forever husband! Kamenashi Kazuya... I got to see him up close so many times this year! I went to 4 KAT-TUN concerts and every time I was mere meters away from him at several points during each show! He also gave me and my friend serious fanservice so we DIED on that spot! He has a Drama SP 'Tegami' airing soon and I am so looking forward to seeing him act again even though I'm going to cry my heart out. He did brilliant in Final Cut ealier this year too. I love this boy. He is such a great person and he puts so much effort into his job. I love him. That's all that matters! Me and him are reaching a 10 year anniversary next July too!!! WOOO!
