apologies if i'm interpreting wrong, but do you not like the family aspects in gravity falls?

I enjoy the family aspects in gravity falls in terms of surface level enjoyment... but even then I do agree wholeheartedly with the post I reblogged and I think it's definitely applicable to a critical examination of the story, as it would be in Any story. mainly in terms of stan and ford's dynamic.

I've thought before about how stan's tumultuous relationship with ford really comes down to the failings of "the family" and particularly masculinity and the concept of The Family Man as a breadwinner and every time it frustrates me for what it is and intrigues me for what it potentially says as a deconstruction, even if an unintentional one. stan's core values are familial in nature, which to the audience is a purely noble goal. therefore, when stan does the things she (and I'm using she/her as always for stan because I interpret her as a trans woman) does, it's "all for this family", which is a very empathetic goal. but it's also one that snowballs into the devastating rift between her and ford: ford wanting to go to college and remove himself from The Family is implicitly depicted as a betrayal, if not to the audience then at least to stan. and yet it's perfectly understandable Why he does this if you actually examine the stan twins' childhood, which is that of two siblings being forced to compete in a black sheep/golden child dynamic in a poor household, overseen by the abusive patriarch figure that is their father. when ford refers to his dynamic with stan as "suffocating" (expecting dipper to relate), it's simultaneously insight we're meant to read as selfish and anti-family, as well as being perfectly logical. stan and ford depend on one another for survival and recognition as they deal with both the trappings of their home life and peer abuse at school- and, at the same time, are locked into their roles as "potential breadwinner" and "the fuck-up twin". would that not be suffocating? would you really feel secure trying to maintain a close relationship with your twin like that, even if you did love them?

I refer to this as a matter of masculinity because at its core the trappings of the (american, western, whatever you want to call it) family are often patriarchal in nature: everything revolves around the authority of The Father, who is succeeded by The Son. stan's lack of success in terms of bringing money to the family reflect her failures to perform as a man. the only time she begins to succeed in this role is when she's impersonating ford. (and here you can kind of see the foundations of my headcanon for her as a trans woman... but that's off topic) at the end of the day, ford's desires for agency outside of his family are punished by the story: "you care about some dumb mysteries more than your own family? well then-- you can have 'em." and this is only truly rectified when ford relents, admits the true importance of family, and gets on a boat with his twin. even if I think it's elaborated on in ways that lend itself towards a more complex story, even if I think it could work perfectly well as a deconstruction if you were to read it that way, I think this is the type of story they're trying to tell and the one that is most commonly related to by an american audience.

I say that this frustrates me because as much as I wish it were the case, I don't believe gravity falls intends to make a critical commentary on the nature of the family. I think it says a lot about how those dynamics can be strained or muddled by factors such as miscommunication, trauma, abuse, etc- but at the end of the day it's intending to be a very "familial love surpasses all" type of story. does that mean it's unwatchable garbage? not really. I obviously love the show and still enjoy familial dynamics for a lot of reasons and think there's good to come of those kinds of stories. however I also think there is a lot to be said about how dangerous the idea of "family comes first" is, both in terms of justifying violence and absolving or enabling abuse.

*note that my specifications of the structure as "american" or "western" are due purely to a lack of perspective. I'm sure there are examples of these types of trappings across various cultures I just can't confidently elaborate, and in the context of the show we're talking about a story that takes place with american characters. kind of a pointless amendment but just in case.

[aphrodieties]

Hi! Would you mind talking about your success in revising poor academic performance and getting into dream school in more detail? Sorry to bother if you are not willing to.

Thank you!

I don't talk about my success with the Law of Assumption because it's not as exciting as most people would assume it to be and I don't want to disappoint, however, I’ll make an exception and happily go into detail about my academic success. Hopefully, this will help people to learn how to apply the Law of assumption.

Background: I was a terrible student, and I was always bottom-ranked in all of my classes. I never learned to study and I failed to turn in assignments, I was truant, and I couldn't understand half of the shit I learned.

I made it to high school and it was in my senior year that I realized something needed to change, I had a newfound love of learning and I wanted to pursue higher education. In my current state, that wasn't possible—I wasn't even expected to graduate on time much less be admitted to a college with an acceptance rate of 4%.

The Law Of Assumption: When I decided to apply the Law of Assumption, the first thing that I did was admit to myself that, consciousness is the only reality. I was experiencing everything that I was conscious of being and I was conscious of being a terrible student, unintelligent, unmotivated, lazy, truant, and at risk of not graduating.

Consciousness is the only reality and that meant that there was not a singular thing that I could do outside of changing my conception of self to fix my circumstances, I admitted that I couldn't control the world around me and it took some time but eventually, I no longer wanted to control the world around me—I wanted to control Self.

I decided to induce the state akin to sleep and I did, when I did the state akin to sleep, I didn't focus on what I desired but rather on the fulfillment of my desire. The reason that I did this was because I wanted so many things but my desire remained the same—academic success.

I wanted intelligence, study skills, elite education, awards, recognition, perfect attendance, grade revision, and all of that good stuff—but the main thing was academic success and these were all just side quests or aspects of that.

I induced the state akin to sleep and immersed myself in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, I woke up the next morning in the state of the wish fulfilled and continued throughout my day as normal.

I went to school and I came home just like every other day.

I wasn't constantly aware of the state that I was entertaining but when I did become aware of that, I would just go back to the wish fulfilled. There was no logic or reminders—I accepted that I was already what I wanted to be and moved on.

The process wasn't perfect and I will admit that there were times when I would falter and spiral, but that didn't matter at all—I was nonchalant about it, kind of like that TikTok song "lalala whatever, lalala doesn't matter, lalala oh well" and the reason I was so nonchalant was because I accepted that I was already what I wanted to be!

I was living in imagination and there was nothing else to it, nothing else mattered to me and nobody but myself could tell me any different.

I went to school and I came home just like every other day.

I wish there was a climax to this story but there isn't, nothing changed—even when the 3D finally conformed. The reason is that it wasn't anything new, I was always a good student, I always had study skills, an elite education, awards, etc., and I had already been accepted to my dream school. It was natural and a regular occurrence for me.

I wish I could say that I felt excitement or ecstasy but that would be a blatant lie, the only time I felt something like that was when I first immersed myself in the feeling of the wish fulfilled but everything after that was just nonchalant.

I can't even tell you how long it took, but I'm at my dream school and I'm having a good time. It wasn't about creating anything out of thin air but becoming aware of what already exists and that's why it was so simple.

Happy manifesting!

[spurgie-cousin]

Hoo boy SpurgieCousin, these anons sitting out the election to protest the war in Gaza or voting 3rd party to teach the democrats a lesson, or whatever their reason is have me stressed! As an elder millennial, I remember Ralph Nader peeling away enough 3rd party votes to give the election to Bush over Gore in 2000. Even though that administration gave us wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, the deaths of my friends, classmates, etc in those wars, the destruction of their futures when they came home with PTSD and missing limbs, lies about weapons of mass destruction, war crimes, Guantanamo bay AND the worst economic recession since the Great Depression- which was a fantastic time to try and enter the job market after college btw- I still think a 2nd Trump term would be worse. The only reason Trump’s first term was only a partial catastrophe was because it was incredibly incompetent and we were able to coast on a lot of momentum of the Obama years. I don’t think a 2nd term would flounder as much. I really really hope (beg)your readers reconsider their choice regarding Joe Biden. It’s not a perfect system and it’s not a perfect candidate-it never is. I appreciate their idealism- I was young once too- but not voting does not absolve them from the consequences of what may happen if this country elects Trump again. You will have complicity in negative things either way you vote, so please please vote in a way that does not make things worse. Ok, thank you for letting this geriatric millennial rant!

Oh I think that's a perfect example tbh. I'm a younger millennial so I was growing up as the Iraq and Afghanistan wars played out, and it was the first thing that ever really ignited a political rage in me. Horrible news for my very republican/George Bush voting family lol.

Unless they're very politically versed, I don't know if Gen Z or even the youngest tier of millennials really get how fucking awful the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan was. Just tons of civilians and American soldiers dead because of Bush's ego, and his ego is nothing compared to Trump's.

I think the only big difference is a lot of third party voters at that time didn't totally understand what Bush was capable of, whereas we know what a Trump presidency will be like..... we know if he promises to make gay marriage illegal and strip back more women's Healthcare rights and and more money to Netanyahu to destroy Gaza, he WILL try to do it. He's already had similar successes.

I have voted third party, I hate to discourage people from doing so because I think a third party candidate that we can rally behind is our only hope out of this 2 party shit show. We don't have anyone like that this election season, far left progressives hate Jill Stein, nobody else has the name recognition at this point to have any chance against with major candidate, and we know the end result will be either the trash can on fire that is our government right now or that trash can on fire with an added layer of dog shit on top, y'know? They're both bad sure but I just highly disagree that one isn't worse for vulnerable Americans and Gazans alike.

[goodboyaudios]

i’m evil like that muahaha~ also!!!!! congratulations on 40k!!!!!!!!!!!! i’m sure you’ll be getting way more recognition in the future:D

since you gave permission:

you said you’re finishing off uni, did you always know what you wanted to study? i’m at the (depressing) stage in life where i’m fully realizing how many curve balls life throws at you:) the path to success usually isn’t linear, so i’m curious about your journey!

it seems like you’re always asking for feedback or addressing issues, etc. do you have any feedback for us (as in, the community)? most people i’ve interacted with are pretty chill, but idk maybe there’s we could improve on?

this one might be a bit personal, so feel free to ignore! do your friends or family know about your channel/work? i’d imagine it’d be nice to have someone you could bounce ideas off of before publishing stuff! if not, how do you manage to hide all that stuff hahah~. you’ve built an entirely different universe, so i refuse to believe a sane man can keep all of that in his head and live a normal life simultaneously:p

if you could befriend any oc of yours, who would it be and why?

i’m not sure how to word this question properly, but are there any endings/plot points that you had initially envisioned differently? like, did you think a story was going one way and changed your mind half ways through?

you don’t have to answer all of these! you did ask for it, but i hope i’m not overwhelming you haha~

Absolutely not. School didn't do anything to prepare me for the world. My college has done less than nothing in preparing me to get a job in my field, YOUTUBE HAS DONE MORE FOR ME THAN COLLEGE AT THIS POINT and if I'm completely honest with you? That's fuckin sad. No, I had no idea what I wanted to do and I wish I was that kind of person who knew right out the gate. (lucky bastards) Okay, I'm done with my rant lol

I didn't know what field I wanted to study in, so I took a chance and jumped into something I knew I had some knowledge in and hoped for the best. Really that's all you can do. I have learned that, when you get out of highschool and you don't know what to do, do everything until something sticks. Trial and error. It's not the most efficient, but it works!

Any feedback to GIVE to the community? Let me think. Honestly, the community has been very wonderful to me. Occasionally something pops up, but it's usually squashed. The discord server is full of wonderful and creative and talented people who have always had my back and support the work I do. I hear all the time about drama in fellow creator servers and toxic behavior in the communities, etc...but my end of things has always been super nice! (that might have something to do with my lack of NSFW content) But yeah! No notes really! Everything good in our little neighborhood!

My family is aware AND so is my extended family lol! They are supportive, but they don't really give me ideas to bounce off. I have other fellow writers and creatives or that! And I do write everything down and go back to it in case I forget something. But typically speaking its all in my head, yep! I just...don't know how to do other things! Like...dress fashionably or...function in a normal society...you know useless stuff like that!

Zed. He needs a friend lol

Only with Bastard Warrior actually! Every story, I envision how I want it to end first, but with Bastard Warrior, I had thoughts of changing it because it was supposed to be enemies to lovers, yet the canon ending isn't Albus getting with Faith. So, I made 3 endings to appease everyone lol

Hope I got all of the them lol!

OK so this gameplay / storyline is based off of the prominent sims family storylines (goths, landgraabs, pleasant, etc etc)

This family in particular (and for now) is based off of the Goth family dynamics / storyline

Meet the Barajas

PEDRO BARAJAS

A charming but deeply lazy man who has coasted through life on family wealth and connections. Despite his failings, he maintains an oddly endearing presence in the town, where people simultaneously mock and envy him. Pedro has mastered the art of failing upward, though his wife's disappearance and the return of his illegitimate daughter has started to crack his carefully maintained facade of carefree privilege.

Fun Facts:

Claims to "work from home" but really spends his days at the country club

Keeps an office at Barajas Industries that he visits mainly to nap

Lives off family trust fund money while claiming to be "between projects"

Maintains superficially good relationships with everyone in town through charm and well-timed donations

Has a secret daughter from a brief affair that haunts him more than he admits

Actually quite terrified of responsibility

Deeply insecure about living in his successful wife's shadow

GRACIE BARAJAS

A privileged, status-obsessed young woman who was handed a high-level position at Barajas Industries despite having no college degree or real qualifications. Her greatest fear isn't losing money - it's losing social status if people discover her "common" half-sister. Views the world entirely through a designer lens and genuinely cannot understand why everyone doesn't just "have money."

Fun Facts :

Constantly planning galas and charity events (mainly for the photo ops)

Actively works to suppress any mention of her illegitimate sister

Uses her father's connections to maintain her socialite status

Shows up to the office mainly to make appearances and post on Instagram

Channels her grief into obsessive control over her image and inheritance

Actually terrified of ending up "common" like her half-sister

BRANDEN BARAJAS

A brilliant but emotionally damaged teen who's coping with his mother's disappearance in an extremely concerning way. His creation of a mother-robot reveals both his technical genius and his deep psychological trauma. Unlike his status-obsessed sister, he sees his newfound half-sister as a chance at having a normal sibling relationship.

Fun Facts:

Actually understands business better than Gracie but has no interest in it

Spends countless hours in his workshop perfecting his "mother" robot

Talks to the robot as if it's really his mother, sharing his daily experiences

Actively tries to connect with his newfound half-sister despite family disapproval

Often clashes with Gracie over her materialistic values and treatment of others

GEMMA (BARAJAS) MOYER

A hardworking young woman who grew up in the working-class part of town with her single mother, Sofia, just a few miles but worlds away from the Barajas mansion. Discovered her true paternity after finding old letters in her mother's belongings. Unlike her half-siblings, she's worked service jobs since she was 16 and put herself through community college, giving her a ground-level view of how the Barajas family's business decisions affect the town.

Fun Facts:

Protective of her mother Alex, who never asked the Barajas for anything

Works two jobs: morning shifts at a local diner and evenings at a bookstore

Lives in a small apartment with her mother who raised her alone

Secretly studies everything about the Barajas family history

Forms a genuine bond with Branden over their shared sense of being outsiders

Conflicted feelings about Pedro, wanting both recognition and revenge

Fighting for recognition more than money, though she'd never admit it

Finding herself actually caring about her half-siblings despite trying not to

Exploring Different Types of Medals and Ribbons: A Comprehensive Guide

Medals and ribbons are often used as a form of recognition and honour. You would see them in annual day events at schools and colleges when students are awarded medals for their academic and extra-curricular achievements. Sometimes these medals are hanging from a ribbon worn around the neck.

At other times, the ribbon alone could serve as a recognition of the special status of the individual who is wearing it. For example, ribbons are used by military personnel on their uniform daily while medals are worn on special occasions. In the corporate world, both medals and ribbons are used to recognise and honour extraordinary achievements.

When it comes to buying cheap medals or ribbons in Australia, where do you go? You may not find many reputable stores where high-quality medals and ribbons can be found at cost-effective prices. However, it’s not that you will not find such stores at all; although very few, they exist nevertheless.

For example, you would like to consider buying medals and ribbons at Olympia Trophies Corporate which provides corporate awards, trophies, medals, plaques, badges, cups, specialist services, and corporate gifts. You can buy medals and other award items online and get them delivered to your doorsteps across Australia.

In this post, we will discuss different types of medals and ribbons used in corporate and other award functions.

A small piece of round metal or some other material such as crystal can symbolize success and achievement. It’s very common to see people awarded with first–, second-, or third-place medals. Here is a brief rundown of different kinds of medals you can find.

Academic Medals

The academic world sees a large number of medals given to students and sometimes even to teachers regularly. Academic medals come in myriad varieties to fit every situation worth recognition and honour. You can expect academic medals for excellence in arts, computers, drama, graduation, music, science, maths, perfect attendance, and more.

General Medals

This kind of medals can be used for any event as they don’t bear the name of any event or the reason for which it is being given, making them suitable for just any event. However, you can find a variety of medals in different materials and sizes. For example, you can expect acrylic medal buttons, 50 mm medals, 70 mm medals, etc.

Sports Medals

Australia is a sports-loving country and corporates love these events as they induce a competitive team spirit among employees and associates. You can find sports medals for virtually all games athletics, basketball, cricket, dance, karate, netball, rugby, soccer, swimming, and more. Medals for team events and tournaments can also be found.

Stained Glass Medals

When you want to go for colourful medals that boast creativity and skilled craftsmanship, stained glass medals are an option. Typically, it will come with a ribbon and be placed in a presentation box. As they are created with care and patience, you can get a name and message engraved. You can find stained glass medals for sporting, academic, and even corporate award functions.

Star Medals

Medals in a star shape or round medals with one or multiple star insignia are very popular. You can find these star medals in different materials including gold, silver, bronze, and acrylic. You can get a name, a logo, an image, or a message engraved or placed on the medal. Star medals in 50 mm size are quite popular. However, you can find other sizes too.

Everything You Wanted to Know about Ribbons

The world of ribbons is no less prolific. You can find a large variety of ribbons to suit any award functions and other events. They bring colours and elegance to the occasion a sense of pride and recognition to the wearer. Ribbons are strips of fabric worn around the neck or attached to a uniform. They can be customized to align with the specific events.

However, ribbons have use cases beyond the winners’ circles. For example, the circular clusters of ribbon loops called Rosettes are used widely to recognise volunteers or community members at an event. Ribbons are often used for tying gift boxes to elevate their beauty. They are also used to embellish garlands, bouquets and floral arrangements. Another use case for ribbons is using them in invitations and stationery items to enhance their appeal and elegance.

Now, let’s have a look at ribbon materials. When it comes to choosing a ribbon material, a wide assortment of options are available, each giving a distinct look and feel. Here is a list of some commonly used ribbon materials.

Satin Ribbons: It offers a luxurious and silky feel that goes well with formal occasions and gift wrapping.

Organza Ribbons: It’s made with silk, polyester or nylon fabric and offers an ethereal touch.

Grosgrain Ribbons: It’s heavy silk or nylon fabric woven using the heavy weft technique and offers a sophisticated look.

Velvet Ribbons: They offer a classic and elegant feel and look rich and luxurious.

Burlap Ribbons: Its fabric is made with vegetable fibres that offer a natural rustic and eco-friendly look.

Now, let’s explore different types of ribbons that you can find in a medals and ribbons shop.

Neck Ribbons

Medals are typically worn with the help of neck ribbons as they proudly occupy the centre of the wearers’ chest. Corporations often choose brand colours to keep uniformity in promotional materials. Using neck ribbons with the same colours as in your brand can give the ribbons added importance.

Here are some common neck ribbon combinations: Black Neck Ribbon, Black/Green Striped Neck Ribbon, Black/Red Striped Neck Ribbon, Black/White Striped Neck Ribbon, Black/Yellow Striped Neck Ribbon, Black/Yellow/Red Striped Neck Ribbon, Blue Neck Ribbon, Blue/White Striped Neck Ribbon, Blue/Yellow Striped Neck Ribbon, Dark Blue/White Striped Neck Ribbon, Green/Blue Striped Neck Ribbon, Green/White Striped Neck Ribbon, etc. You can find many more colours. You can even ask for customized ribbons to match your brand colours.

These are fabric strips that speak about your place or achievement in a contest. For example, you can find Achievement Award Ribbons, Competitor Award Ribbons, Fifth Place Award Ribbons, First Place Award Ribbons, Fourth Place Award Ribbons, Good Performance Award Ribbons, Good Try Award Ribbons, Highly Commended Award Ribbons, Merit Award Ribbons, Participant Award Ribbon, Runner Up Award Ribbon, Second Place Award Ribbon, Sixth Place Award Ribbon, Special Award Ribbon, Third Place Award Ribbon, Top Effort Award Ribbon, etc.

Take Away

Medals are ribbons are widely used in corporate and academic award functions. Medals mostly represent success and achievement while ribbons are used to add colour and vivacity to such events.

Pressure..pressure..pressure.. (in the professional sense)

I feel there is a lot of pressure on us since childhood. In our childhood, the pressure was to study and get good marks instead of wasting your time in playing, according to our parents. From nursery to 10th class the pressure is all about, "GETTING GOOD MARKS IN THE 10TH BOARDS." With just a break of 2 months called the summer holidays we are again pressurized to choose a stream and in 2 years, "GET GOOD MARKS IN 12TH BOARDS, IF IT'S CBSE OR IN INTER EXAMS, IF IT'S STATE SYLLABUS."

After inter obviously you are not getting any job in a good company so you have to have a degree (graduation) of a minimum of 3 years. You have to struggle with the pressure of college with it's internals, lab records, practicals, syllabus, research works, assignments and inbetween all this you even have to give campus placement exams and interviews after preparing yourself for it, your communication skills, your marks, your CV...etc and after you get your graduation certificate in hand, you try and in a lot of pressure of earning a good life, you get a job, get experience of the corporate world, get stressedevery moment, follow one routine, getting up early....etc.

After a few years you have to undergo a post graduation course with your job on the other side to develop in this competitive world and earn more in your job through promotion after your have your post graduation certificate is in your hands.

At the end, when your too aged to work, your pressure of all these years gets paid off when you have a big house, savings to spend on your needs and a hospital bed to die on because of the pressure.

On the other hand, if you choose any other path in life, like an artist (painter, actor writer, dancer, singer, designer...etc) you obviously have your own pressure there too, of getting successful, getting fame, name, money, recognition....etc etc.

At the end, in all the professions there is a pressure to survive, adjust and live there. #hang in there!

It’s a fantastic fit and I love it. You get a good harmonica player in with a bluegrass band taking breaks, and I have a good time! It works well with the fact that bluegrass just started as one of infinite variations of American string band music, where harmonica (and many other instruments) were participants.

One large problem was context. We say bluegrass was born in 1945, but it wasn’t conceived of as its own genre until the late 1950s or early 1960s. In the 50s, many bands with sounds we’d call “like bluegrass” today just thought of themselves as one of the infinite variations of American string band music. You might hear piano, electric guitar, harmonica, steel guitar, or other instruments. No one cared ‘cause it was just all country.

As the 1950s progressed, country music fell into dire circumstances: audiences flocked after emerging rock-and-roll instead. Country musicians struggled to make ends meet. Therefore, Nashville solved the problem by “taking country to the city.” The Nashville Sound of the 1960s shoved scratchy fiddles and twangy banjos aside in favor of pop-esque accompaniments with soft background choirs and lush strings. Now country sounded like pop... and while various string bands remained, this large-scale change distinguished bluegrass from the crowd.

It was the late 1950s and early 1960s that people started identifying bluegrass as “its own thing.” And bluegrass gained a second generation of adherents and surge in recognition due to the Folk Revival. Young college students were chasing out American roots and gravitating to artists like Pete Seeger, the Kingston Trio, etc. They categorized bluegrass as a type of “folk music,” and ergo bluegrass became cool again.

It also created the issue between experimental types and the purist traditionalists who wanted everything Like It Was in the 1950s. If you see bluegrass as old folk music and admire that about it, you’re not going to be as open to change. One reason the harmonica didn’t get accepted.

Flatt & Scruggs tried to ride the waves of the Folk Revival for commercial success. But as the Folk Revival morphed and major stars like Bob Dylan went new places (ex: electric), Flatt & Scruggs was more and more strained to stick along. They increasingly sounded out of their element, trying to keep to the trend.

They added dobro in 1955 when they were still a fully acoustic band sounding like their own country identity. When they popped a harmonica into their music in the mid-1960s, however, it came across as them “selling out” and losing their identity and sound. It didn’t help that their long-standing tenor vocalist left in 1962 and there was a hole in their sound thereafter. It didn’t help that Flatt & Scruggs were adding tons of studio musicians to their recording sessions, making for bloated instrumentation that didn’t mesh. Plus, there are fans who really hate the particular harmonica player that Flatt & Scruggs used in their recordings. This also came at the cost of heavily reducing key players like fiddle in their music - one of their staples.

I like the harmonica and I’ve heard it go over successfully in bluegrass concerts. I like the harmonica in the Flatt & Scruggs music (the microcosm I started this post from). But all those old frustrations of Flatt & Scruggs declining, all those tensions of traditionalism versus experimentation... none of that has faded.

“I didn’t have time to write you a short letter so I wrote you a long one” XD XD XD Hope it wasn’t too much

One of the funniest ways to start a war would be to go to bluegrassers and tell them harmonica is the forgotten bluegrass instrument

In which Bella regrets becoming a vampire:

For the first several years, it’s everything she hoped it would be. She has Edward. She has strength and beauty and immortality. She doesn’t have to try in order to succeed. As much as she pretended that beauty didn’t matter- the confidence that comes with it is intoxicating. She has Renesmee, the child she didn’t know she needed. All in all, being a vampire is everything she wanted.

Eventually, they have to move. Bella visits Charlie, of course, but it’s still hard. She goes on to get her English degree. She aces every class, even math. It’s a little distracting being around humans, but she doesn’t slip up or have accidents. She eventually wants to become a professor, but it’s a little difficult since she can barely pass for twenty. That’s something she hadn’t anticipated. Older people don’t always take her seriously on that level- even with her looks. Beauty can’t hide the fact that she still looks nineteen. Edward consoles her, and she brushes it off. It doesn’t matter really. She has everything she wanted. A career isn’t that important in the grand scheme of things (she tells herself).

She watches Renesmee grow up into a beautiful teenage-woman-hybrid-whatever. Eventually, Renesmee and Jacob fall madly in love. Their “love” rivals Edward and Bella’s, and eventually they run off together to have adventures of their own. Renesmee goes off to college/Jacob opens his own shop etc.  At some point they leave the nest, and this leaves Bella feeling predictably…. empty. She knew it was coming; eventually Renesmee would want independence. It’s fine.

She has Edward and immortality. It’s everything she ever wanted. Years pass. Eventually modern technology catches up to them. The Cullen’s public “lives” start to become complicated. One day Carlisle comes home and announces he will have to leave his job indefinitely. With facial recognition and a host of identity-verifying hoops to jump through, it’s just too much of a risk. Carlisle is somewhat depressed, but it is what it is. It bothers Bella deeply, and she can’t really place why. In truth, their public “lives” had become important to her. She won’t admit it, but she likes when fellow classmates look at her with awe and envy. With the way things are shaping up, though, they will have to take more precautions so as not to attract the Volturi’s attention.  Endlessly going to high school and college are no longer an option.

More years pass. The Cullens end up having to live as recluses, essentially. They can still go out, but mostly at night. They still live in a mansion, but it’s in the middle of nowhere where no humans could ever stumble upon it. They can’t risk ending up on the internet and with smart phones it’s a serious possibility.

Years pass and all the beauty and talent that comes with being a vampire becomes normal. Bella is slipping back into her pre-vampire depression by this point. She can never, ever admit it though. She’s happy. She has everything she ever wanted, and there’s nothing else to be said. She takes up hobby after hobby to pass the time. And that’s all there is now- endless amounts of time. Even sex with Edward has lost its early appeal. She still loves him, of course, but there’s something deep inside her that’s left wanting. It terrifies her. She goes off on her own a lot to deal with the feelings, so Edward won’t notice. She can never tell him that a small but significant part of her feels a growing glimmer of regret. She refuses to name that feeling, even in her own head. Edward can never know. If he knew the truth it would be the thing that broke them.  After everything he did to convince her and all the arguments, he can never know how she actually wishes things were different. In truth, she has everything she thought she needed to be happy and successful- beauty, talent, confidence. But she can never achieve anything because of her eternal youth. Growth, a career, the respect that comes with age and experience. She will never have these things, and she knows it. So, she buries the regret under a steel wall of “happiness” and makes sure she never slips up. She has to control her emotions the way the rest of them control their bloodlust. In a way she’s reminded of those three days of her transformation, holding herself still, so Edward would never know the pain she was in. She holds her emotions in check now for the same reason, but underneath it all, she’s screaming and wishing for an end. More years pass, and Bella feels isolated because of this. In the end, though, she’s not alone. She sees Jacob, bound to her daughter in eternal happiness brought on by the imprint. Jacob, who left his entire life behind for Renesmee. She looks into his eyes and realizes that underneath all that eternal “bliss”, he’s screaming too.

Anon wrote: (700026129933860864) Thank you so much for your thorough response. I believe I am INFP, just in a grip, but am open to the possibility that I am mistyped.

Background info, brief due to limited space: my mother is ISFJ (I could not get her to take the test because she thinks of MBTI as horoscopes and personality types as destiny), but the people and society she has lived with have a very strong preference for Te. She unknowingly tries to find harmony (Fe) with people (e.g. my father) by strongly and again unknowingly trying hard to talk the Te talk. So I (& my siblings; I am the only one with Te in my stack - I have always played the "parent" role in my family) was raised with emphasis on Te (raised to be in a grip?), even envy because no one actually used Te "well". Mixed in are Confucian values (being Chinese) - repeatedly told that deviation from my mother's values = not filial, = betraying her by not working towards "rich and successful" to avenge on my father for mistreating her.

At school and work - can't claim I did this very often, but whenever I did mention I like to write or show my little poems or drawings, etc., I was laughed at or just told "you have no talent". (Thinking back, what can one expect in an AP math class or a cut-throat Manhattan office?) I learned to hide my (N to a certain extent) FP and act out my best rendition of (S)TJ - the better I could build a financial model, organize a project or analyze in a transactional manner a business decision, the more external recognition I got, the more career progression I got, and the more I hid my (N)FP. All done with a price of mental distress - your guides describe what I experienced very accurately.

Analogy: though left-handed, I was told since young that only right hand is "good"; the more I got rewarded, the better I got at using it. But I had to expend a lot of extra energy using my right hand, and actually, subconsciously don't believe it and even hate myself for it. Unaware of this until ~10 years ago, I have been struggling with "shedding the baggage" (habits, reward, self-esteem, etc.) associated with using my right hand while also realizing my left hand has gotten rusty due to lack of practice. Socially, I have close to no support or understanding for “coming out” as FP because my family's culture hasn't changed, and the “identity” I have with my "friends" (almost all from work) has been constructed from the TJ they have known me as (or they don't want to hear about FP "soft feeling" stuff). I.e. I feel highly not integrated.

As you wrote: I have "immense difficulty staying true to myself." I have attempted to remove obstacles as your wrote, but keep faltering: left my formal business positions a few years ago, but keep interviewing when jobs are proposed to me and doing freelance business projects but not enjoying them; entered a formal creative writing program but constantly fighting in my head (how do I get published, what kind of competitions or social media presence could help me gain recognition, vs. writing isn't about this, I need to learn to enjoy the act of writing, etc.) and also disappointed that many of my classmates aren't that "pure and passionate" with their pursuit of writing. (These are generalizations and probably made a bit extreme to convey the points with little space.) I haven't lived with my mother since college, but every so often would stay with her for a few months to take care of her.

Follow-up questions: I agree with your 2 & 3 about my inability to distinguish values, traits, introspect/interrogate, etc. I understand their definitions, and can even explain to others. But when I read your sentence, I felt a visceral reaction, a small panic in my stomach that flashed "oh, I have absolutely no idea how to define each of these for myself."

Do you understand that you're essentially saying you don't have dominant Fi at all? While chronic inferior grip does happen, it is rare, and not what you think it looks like. Te grip does NOT accurately encapsulate your problems. It seems you are operating on some misconceptions or gaps in knowledge. I don't consider it my job to convince people about their type because it's none of my business. Purely as a courtesy, I say something whenever I believe people may be mistyped, but it's up to them to sort it out for themselves. Unless you decide to submit a thorough type assessment by carefully following the instructions on the contact page, I won't discuss tips for function development. Some people get deeply convinced of the wrong type and it does them no good in the long run. Time and time again, I've seen such individuals lock themselves into the wrong self-image and it actively prevents them from gaining the self-awareness they require for personal growth. I strongly suspect you are one of these individuals.

(I often tend to run my analytical mind on turbo on whatever problem I encounter - I have been practicing mindfulness with my therapist, to get to my feelings and body sensations before my analytical side jumps out and "takes over".)

You are correct to identify this as a significant obstacle. However, this is NOT an INFP problem and even helps rule out INFP. If you believe it is easy for INFPs to block out feelings, lose touch with body sensation, and find comfort in intellectualization, then you don't know what it means to be INFP. This problem more likely indicates that T is your tertiary function (not the inferior function). You use "analysis" as an unconscious defense mechanism against uncomfortable feelings and emotions, indicating that F is the auxiliary function that is poorly developed (not the dominant function). If you are indeed N, then logic dictates that there are only two possibilities: ENFP and INFJ. If you are perhaps not N, then you'd have to consider ESFP and ISFJ as well. Given the scattered evidence I've processed, IMO, any of these four types would fit you better than INFP at this point.

So, what can I do to start learning how to distinguish them? I couldn’t find a better way of asking this question as they all sound simplistic, rhetorical, or too close/open-ended. E.g. I know it’s not reading books that describe these concepts, so I can’t say “could you suggest a reading list.” It's also not “get CBT as opposed to general talk therapy” or “do meditation” as it’s not a simple prescription that will help me.

For your 4 - I have indeed tried to visualize my positive potential but just could not - as you said, the obstacles have not been removed yet. As mentioned, I have tried to remove what I know as obstacles, but I discovered they leave holes that I don't know with what/how to fill. E.g. Leaving my business career means I don't get the adrenaline from all the action daily and the external recognition to (unhealthily) hold up self-esteem. But without the adrenalin and movement, I feel I have lost all triggers/forces and momentum to take actions on a daily basis (depressive tendencies), only feel inertia, and also have not learned to give value to self-recognition. How do I create a break/what does one look like to overcome what seems like a chicken-and-egg relationship between removing obstacles and positive visualization, to get out of the vicious and enter a virtuous cycle?

These are problems to work on with your therapist. There's not much more I can say without your true type. The advantage of knowing your type is that it provides a roadmap to guide you. Without that roadmap, it is much more difficult to reach down to the root causes of your problems. Getting in touch with your feelings and emotions is a very important thing to do because they are generally an important source of self-knowledge (especially in cases where it would aid auxiliary F development). You should keep working on it. The deeper problem seems to be that you really don't know yourself because you basically have no identity of your own. Whatever identity you possess has been cobbled together through the process of internalizing the judgments of everyone around you. Over and over, you've chosen to give in to social pressures to put on flimsy masks or false ideals and be someone you're not. You are, in a sense, very addicted to social validation in many forms. According to what I've observed in people with this problem, they can't kick the addiction because they're unable/unwilling to face up to very deep-seated fears about what their life would look like without it - perhaps that's a place to start. In other words, they benefit too much from denying who they are to ever want to stop. You keep saying you're in pain/distress, but perhaps it's not yet painful/distressful enough for you to grasp the full cost of self-denial and finally see the benefits of stopping.

Hi Katrina, my name is Liv, and I am a college student on the east coast who is new to Tumblr. I am looking to run a successful blog and gain a fun little online community. Do you have any tips about how to run a successful Tumblr account that you could share? Also, I hope you are well - your blog is very beautiful and well-organized! Thanks, Liv

hi liv! welcome to tumblr :) i’m doing alright! thank you so much for visiting my blog~ i'm glad you like it!

everyone's definition of “successful” is different, but here are some tips (from my experience) that can help guide you:

1. what is your blog about? think about what kind of content you want to share with others. this could be a hobby, a tv series, a person, a particular subject, or any of your interests. perhaps you have multiple interests that you want to share. that's okay, too! personally, i have 3 blogs and each one has different content -- this one (studyblr), my main blog (personal/multifandom with a pale/pastel/black and white aesthetic), and my aesthetic blog (pretty photos with warm colors).

2. who is your audience? think about who you want to share your blog content with, or who you think your blog is best suited for. perhaps it’s a particular age group, or it may be a larger and more general audience. for example, most studyblrs aim to share their content with students around the world, including high schoolers, college (university) students, and graduate students.

3. be active! you don’t need to be on tumblr 24/7, but i would still suggest being here when you can. if you’re here every day, that’s great! if not, that’s okay. while you’re here, you don’t have to post original content unless you want to. you can simply like/reblog other posts and interact with others. if you need to take a break, go ahead! you may let your followers know that you’re going on hiatus and tell them (approximately) when you’ll be back. you can also set up a queue (read more about queued posts here) so that your blog stays active while you’re gone.

4. if you decide to post original content, post it consistently. this is one of the best ways to gain recognition in the tumblr community. when you decide to post is entirely up to you. this may be once a week, once every other week, twice a month, etc. if, at some point, you end up posting inconsistently or not at all, that’s okay. we understand that you may have other priorities and commitments outside of tumblr. additionally, you can pin your most recent original post to the top of your blog so that it can get more attention, and it becomes the first post that people will see when they visit your blog (read more about pinned posts here). most importantly, DO NOT REPOST OTHER PEOPLE’S CONTENT WITHOUT PERMISSION AND WITHOUT CREDIT, AND DO NOT CLAIM IT AS YOUR OWN!! this is a serious problem (not only on tumblr, but also on other platforms) and we’re tired of seeing it happen over and over again. you will most likely be caught and reported if you do so. you have been warned.

5. use tags wisely. when i say tags, i mean hashtags, not @’s. you can put up to 30 tags on a post, but for original posts, tumblr indexes only the first 20 tags that you use. after that, your original post will NOT show up in tumblr’s search for the rest of your tags (please refer to this post). i recommend the first 5 tags to be the most relevant to what your post is about. the remaining 15 tags can also be related to your post. you can also tag “big” blogs (again, related to your post and similar to your blog) that track a tag so that they can see your post and like/reblog it to share with their followers! for example, i track #gloomstudy, and other studyblrs can tag their original posts with this tag so that i’ll be able to see them and reblog their posts to help them gain exposure.

6. quality over quantity. you’re welcome to post original content and reblog other content as often as you like, but in my experience, most people want to see good quality content. in other words, put care and effort into your blog (and your original content, if you post any)! make it look nice and easy to navigate! you can find several free custom blog themes/pages and tutorials for how to install them right here on tumblr.

7. support, follow, and interact with other blogs and your followers. this includes liking and reblogging other posts, commenting on/replying to posts that interest you, replying to messages that you receive, etc. PLEASE SUPPORT OTHER CONTENT CREATORS BY REBLOGGING THEIR ORIGINAL POSTS!! i cannot stress this enough. we appreciate the likes that we receive, but we’re also tired of seeing the number of reblogs being significantly less than the number of likes, which leads to less exposure and, for many of us, less motivation to create and post new original content. most importantly, PLEASE BE KIND AND RESPECTFUL!! constructive criticism/feedback is okay if someone asks for it, but other than that, please be nice! you never know what someone is going through, and one of the best things you can do is to offer your kindness and respect.

8. be yourself and have fun! most of us are here to share similar interests, support each other, and have a good time. it’s okay if your blog doesn’t become “successful” right away. try not to worry too much about the numbers, and please don’t be discouraged if the success of your blog is moving slowly. remember, everyone here has started at zero. you’re not alone!

✨ BONUS TIP!! ✨ for an improved tumblr experience overall, i highly recommend installing xkit! it’s an extension that provides a lot of options for customizing your dashboard and posting more efficiently. here are links for new xkit and xkit rewritten. be sure to install the correct one for the browser that you’re using! i use both of them simultaneously (although i find that xkit rewritten is better for tumblr’s current web interface; you can use one or the other, or both), and they really help me a lot!

ultimately, your blog belongs to you, and it’s up to you to decide how you want to run it. i can’t tell you exactly how to run a blog because that would be unreasonable, but i hope you find these tips helpful! again, please keep in mind that this is from my experience, which may be different from others. if anyone else has more tips, please feel free to reblog/reply to this post! ^_^
