Not the MBTI anon, but it's very good to know! I'd pegged ENTJ/INTJ for Aubrey/Jason, but Lysander being an ENFP is quite surprising, I'd find him to be more likely an ESTP/ESFP maybe? Though I wanted to know if you used the extroversion/introversion; sensing/intuition method, or go the cognitive function route? I find that using functions for typing is far more reliable and accurate. If you're interested, there's a helpful guide by mbti-notes here on tumblr.
https://mbti-notes.tumblr.com/theory
And have you thought about their enneagram? Personally, I think Aubrey could be a 1 (wing uncertain)? And Samiel, maybe a 7w8 or 8w7 (could also be a 6, I'll have to do a reread at some point)? Jason has 8 tendencies, I think 🤔
Here's a link for enneagram if you're interested:
https://www.yourenneagramcoach.com/blog/breaking-down-the-enneagram
(I'm a bit obsessed with typology if you couldn't tell 😅 so sorry if it's annoying)
Hello lovely Anon!
Firstly, please don't apologise! I love hearing your thoughts on this, and thanks to you I have learnt new things today! ❤️ I only have a very small idea of mbti and I had never heard of enneagram at all, so thank you for the resources! 🤗 (And on a side note, after falling a little bit down the rabbit hole of researching more on the enneagram, I was excited to discover that some of the basis might come from 4th C Alexandria!)
I will confess, I absolutely went with the extroversion/introversion and sensing/intuition method, largely because it was the model I found on Wikipedia (so my allocations were modelled on a very basic outline of mbti types). Interestingly though, I did debate Lysander, and very much did nearly land on ESTP or ESFP for him! I ultimately discarded ESFP as one of the key characteristics was 'tactful' (which I'm not entirely sure he is). However the more I'm looking at ESTP, the more I'm agreeing with you - I think it suits him better.
And for the enneagram I absolutely agree with you that Aubrey is a 1. It's like a checklist of his personality traits! (Including the vice/passion of anger, and the fear of corruption.)
I also agree with you on Samiel as a 7/8 or 8/7! I had a moment where I considered a 2, (that basic fear and desire around love), but ultimately the rest were too far removed from his traits.
Jay is an 8 through and through, including the temptation to rely solely on himself (which is a lot of the problem with Jay in IB until he starts to realise there are people who are just as competent and want to help).
Lysander is, I think, a 2 (with maybe some 6 tendencies thrown in there). 🤔
Thank you lovely Anon! This was really interesting to think about (and like I said - I've learnt new things today thanks to you, which makes me very happy! ❤️)

Anon wrote: Hello, thank you so much for your blog. You're the only source i trust when it comes to mbti. I don't know my type. I know I'm Fi-Te but not sure if I'm ESFP or ENFP.
I'm very imaginative but i guess is because of wanting life to be more interesting and at the moment I can't be very present oriented because i want my present to change and i can't right now (because of lack of financial independence - I know i need a job a job, I'm searching), so i just make up fake scenarios inside my head usually accompanied with great music.
Also I've realized that getting outside of my head is good for my mental health even if it's just going to the grocery store or watching netflix (I tend to stay at home, i still live with my parents and I don't want to go out alone without friends and my friends are usually unavailable).
So, can ESFPs have their head in the clouds and be imaginative just because they like it? I want to create stories (but writing is always boring so I don't do it) and i love learning history, psychology, philosophy and I like to learn about society but then we have to ask why do i do this things, like you said, and i think the answer is "because i like it and it's fun", so it is that Se-Ni? I don't want to stay in my head forever because I've done it many years already and I had enough, I want to live my life and to explore my freedom but ENFPs also want that so I'm confused.
Also it's strange to think I'm Si inf since it's a function you'll only use well way later in life (I'm 26) and I like to be careful sometimes and I have a lot of life-learned lessons and I would hate to make the same mistakes again because it would lead to more sadness and i had enough of it (i had severe depression for years at the past + self-loathing issues because of bullying at school and emotional neglected parents). I also like some past techniques because they work, if they don't then that's when we should think of something new.
So I might be ESFP even though not a stereotypical one because of childhood and environmental factors.
I tend to do what I like without thinking if it's a good decision of not because I just wanna do it, which includes A LOT of imagination but I'm getting tired of it because I want to go to new places and what's better than creating a great story is living one.
I can live outside of my head when my reality is one that I like but I'm using imagination as long as I can remember since I'm a little kid. I like to talk to people about ideas but I've changed a lot because i grew up and I've realized that not everything in life needs to be changed, you can just appreciate the great things you have now like music, photography, love, friendship, food and i want to do all the things i haven't done yet, like dating, going out at night, sleepovers, etc).
When on grip I tend to think about the stuff that hurted me or get paranoid about people hurting me, i guess my biggest grip episode was me on depression, because who wouldn't suffer in their own misery when everyone around me was horrible to me? I had therapy and i still do and it saved my life.
So what do you think? Am I ENFP or ESFP? I've read a lot of your Theory Guide but the only thing that helper my more was the Function Dynamics part because the Se-Ne and inf Si-Ni is confusing to me because for me it feels like I can be both types and i know there's only one. Ne dom makes a lot of sense but Si inf just doesn't.
I do take objects as how they are but I also like to use it to improve life (eg books are made of paper but books help with making new ideas written on paper which helps people improve their lives/all actions need words and ideas first). However I don't want to just to think in a better future without living in my present because it just seems like I'm running forever to catch a train I never can catch and I don't want to live my whole life wanting to search for something without filling fulfilled and satisfied. I do love physical sensations like food.
I'm also very spiritual, I like the idea I'm guided and loved by an superior source because I didn't have that growing up that much, my parents have a different love language than me but now that I'm older i tend to become more strategic and cold (Te tert kicking in). I forgive them, but i just wanted to tell you this for the reason of loving God and my spiritual journey.
Function stacks:
Ne: loves brainstorming, generate ideas, likes and needs new experiences for mental health/ Fi: learning to cope and deal with my intense feelings, prioritizing my desires, / Te: likes to resolve problems with tasks and values efficiency, knows to make sacrifices for a greater cause / Si: gets bored by mundane tasks or same-old things.
OR
Se: my main priority in life is happiness, pleasure and fun, i like to get the desire/thing now if i don't i get angry (eg finding stuff in my never ending bag) / Fi: learning to cope and deal with my intense feelings, prioritizing my desires, / Te: likes to resolve problems with tasks and values efficiency, knows to make sacrifices for a greater cause / Ni: I do want to have a meaningful life and want to be remembered, I also tend to have intuition moments (eg don't put detergent on same grocery bag as food cuz is dangerous).
Sorry about the silly examples but that's what I got. I hope this is not confusing.
Thank for your time! Happy holidays.
----------------------
First, your understanding of Se isn't very good or deep, which is why you're getting confused. This fact by itself is usually enough to indicate it isn't the dominant function, since people should naturally have a good and deep understanding of the dominant function, especially once they learn about it through function theory. Second, a lot if not all of the major struggles you experience are typical manifestations of N-S imbalance (not S-N imbalance). Therefore, I'd have to conclude that ENFP is by far the much better fit.

The Prince of Egypt MBTI Profiles
Finally done!  From a 2018 draft; notes and MBTI learning from 2016-2020.
Miriam: ENFJ  (Fe-Ni-Se-Ti)
Tumblr media
Judging functional axis: Extraverted Feeling/Introverted Thinking Fe-Ti
Miriam is a warm-hearted advocate; insightful, inspiring, and active.  She wants to effect (and see others effect) positive change in the world.  Forthcoming with her opinions and emotions, at times she can be a bit forceful with them, sometimes rolling over others, or not immediately considering their perspectives or feelings, in an effort to get her point across or get things done (Fe-Ti dynamic; can come across as an “I know best” kind of attitude, which to be fair Miriam pretty much does) — one example of this is the well scene with Moses.
As a function, Fe is focused on the external world and making people-factored decisions and judgments: Fe dominants especially are concerned with what others should and shouldn’t be doing and with promoting cooperation (the higher any function is in someone’s stack, the more natural influence and use — “dominance“ — it has).  At various points in the film, Miriam becomes disapproving and stern with Moses and Aaron, the latter when he’s confronting Moses with his critical outburst (“Aaron. You shame yourself.”).  This is perhaps a demonstration of Fe-Ti taking-a-stand and/or inferior Ti: Miriam swiftly taking Aaron to task for his doubting, disharmonizing words against Moses, overlooking their value/validity and his viewpoint.  With Moses, as shown in both the well and mud pit scenes, she knows what his role is, encouraging and reminding him to act within it, connecting his responsibility to their people, and affirming his tie to them.
Miriam tends to speak in ways that appeal to human connections and welfare, as evinced by the sensitive speech she gives to Moses, in which she expresses the pain of her experience as a slave, and recounts Gd’s presence in his/their lives.  She tends to put others’ needs before her own, at the same time knowing how to defend herself and to trust her judgment, is loving and reassuring, and can rally people together through low and lofty times.
Perceiving functional axis: Introverted Intuition/Extraverted Sensing Ni-Se
When Moses returns to Egypt, Miriam seems to just know why he’s come back (knew he would come back, even), perhaps also from taking in his robes and other aspects of his physical appearance.  It’s comparable to when Moses first shows up in Goshen years before: She sees the broader implications of his homecoming, why he must be here at last.  Her sight is forward-reaching and personally meaningful; a specific goal that she's determined and focused on, grounded by both her faith and observations of the world around her.  She knows how things should/could be, how she wants them to be, and takes actions in the present to make those things a reality.
Miriam believes in others’ — particularly Moses’ — potential (“And you are, Moses. You are the deliverer.”), which is a further reflection of her Ni.  Though able to reconcile and adapt to changes when they occur (Ni-Se being adjacent functions in an ENFJ), it is nonetheless indicative of an Ni-Se dynamic that Miriam becomes stressed during the well scene when current reality and facts — that Moses wasn’t told who he is and hasn’t returned to help them obtain freedom — don’t match up with her beliefs/ideals or the underlying truth.  She understandably protests this unexpected change, and can’t/won’t let go of what she has put her hopes in, and been fortified by, for so long.  She doesn’t actually let go, but I think it does make her want to fight for these hopes more… and, in this scene and others, push Moses to achieve his promise.
Aaron: ISFJ  (Si-Fe-Ti-Ne)
Tumblr media
Perceiving functional axis: Introverted Sensing/Extraverted Intuition Si-Ne
Aaron is practical, reliable, protective of family and others; trusting of personal experience and wary of what is new or uncertain.  Because these two naturally opposing functions, Si and Ne, are also located on opposite ends of an ISFJ’s stack, resolving the tension between them is more difficult, and this is true for Aaron, whose own journey involves overcoming his fear and becoming more open to trust and faith, stepping out of his comfort zone.
Aaron tends to make concrete, habitually self-sacrificing, gestures and actions.  He cares about others and their physical safety; it is Miriam he most clearly looks after, but this includes Tzipporah, Moses, and the Hebrew community (a camel, too).  While Miriam is often the sibling on the front lines, and, after resisting the call at first, Moses eventually comes to accept his position as a leader, Aaron plays a more supportive role, and is the one whom the other two can count on in times of need.
When Moses returns to Egypt, Aaron immediately calls attention to how Moses behaved in the past, believing and perhaps also fearing that his younger brother hasn’t changed.  Si-doms reference meaningful past details to understand the present, noticing consistencies and inconsistencies.  It’s telling that Aaron hasn’t let go of events from years ago, and that he draws a comparison between what happened and what is happening: the way Moses treated Miriam, and that he didn’t care about slaves.
His inferior Ne manifests in his fearful, cautious attitude towards things that seem to him unfamiliar or unrealistic (such as Miriam’s beliefs about Moses), and in his inclination to expect all possible negative outcomes, which are based in his (objectively negative) known, prior experiences.  One example is the well scene, but also the Nile to blood scene where Aaron despairs, rather realistically, that Pharaoh still has the power over their lives.  (I’ve thought about whether he’s in an Ne-grip, or even a Ti-loop, for most of the film.)  However, once he starts to experience with his own senses that freedom is attainable, tangible, he starts to trust these changes, challenging his established security and his courage by walking into the parted waters of the Red Sea.
Judging functional axis: Extraverted Feeling/Introverted Thinking Fe-Ti
While more reserved and even-tempered than Miriam, Aaron in general does not withhold how he feels, expressing his opinions, fears, anger, affection, joy.  He is mindful of his and his people’s position within Egyptian-dominated society (certainly dominant Si-related too), to the point of affirming his, Miriam’s, and Moses’ roles when Moses appears in Goshen — an attempt to mitigate their very tense interaction with perhaps a bit too accommodating desire for group harmony.  Aaron makes decisions based on values and how people relate to one another.  For example, during the same scene his plea to Moses is an emotional one; as in, Aaron is calling to Moses’ mercy, trying to reach with Miriam’s appearance of illness some compassionate part of this threatening prince.
Aaron makes a similar, albeit angrier, appeal to Moses during the mud pit scene, this time rousing, whether he knows it or not, Moses’ sense of guilt and morality, and asking when Moses started caring about slaves.  (I’ve always felt like there’s a resemblance between Aaron’s and Miriam’s scolding/“shaming” styles.)  While still speaking to concerns that affect people, Aaron is able to form analytical conclusions, checking logic and what “makes sense” (other illustrations: “In fact, Moses, when did you start caring about slaves?”, and, “But, Moses, didn’t you see what happened? …”).  He uses his Fe-Ti to assert himself during the mud pit scene, a kind of “sounding off” that shows that he’s reached the point where he won’t be silent any longer (it doesn’t help that he’s had to sit on these emotions for years).
Moses: ISFP  (Fi-Se-Ni-Te)
Tumblr media
Judging functional axis: Introverted Feeling/Extraverted Thinking Fi-Te
Sensitive and just, impulsive and good-natured, Moses typically acts and reflects upon a deep and personal(ized) sense of values, of “right and wrong.”  He defends Rameses by taking responsibility for their mischief; he knows to feel remorse after he’s mistreated Tzipporah at the banquet.  When Moses finds out the truth about his origins, he is appalled by Seti’s use of infanticide.  With Tuya he asks, “Is this where you found me?”, again calling attention to the wrongness he feels.  And of course, he takes a stand against oppression.  Like Miriam and Aaron, Moses factors how people relate to one another into his decisions (all three siblings are Feelers, though Miriam and Aaron use Fe, not Fi).
Furthermore, Moses tends to share his strong feelings more privately; his one-to-one interactions with Rameses suggest this.  Not only does “All I Ever Wanted” act as a mustering of personal conviction, “this is who/what I am,” it’s also Moses’ inner monologue wherein and whereafter he sits and processes his emotions on his own.
Moses is quick to internalize blame when things go wrong, which of course anyone can do, but in Moses’ case this points to (especially dominant) Fi’s concern with upholding its integrity.  Part of his running away from Egypt is spurred on by these blows to his sense of self/self-worth and morality.  (He’s troubled by his own ignorance and identity upheaval.)  Under the guidance of Jethro and his people, Moses rediscovers and redefines his values, learning to see himself objectively — “Through Heaven’s Eyes” — as well as the dignity of every life.  His encounter with Gd and conversations with Tzipporah and Rameses allow him to reckon with the fact that he truly must “learn to join the dance” and cannot remove himself from the world nor neglect doing what he knows is right.  It’s in his later confrontations with Rameses that he’s able to step up and express his values and wishes in a firm, organized way.
Perceiving functional axis: Extraverted Sensing/Introverted Intuition Se-Ni
As a teenager, Moses is a reckless seeker of sensory experiences, pursuing enjoyment in the here-and-now and competition alongside Rameses (“Oh, come on. Where’s your sense of fun?”).  He follows Tzipporah out of intrigue — as well as a desire to make amends.  His humiliating Tzipporah can be seen as not thinking about the impact of his whims.  Even so, a healthier auxiliary Se shows in how he’s able to see the facts about himself and admit mistakes, in his adaptability, and, with maturity, in his unimpetuous playfulness.  As an adult, Moses remains someone who doesn’t much hesitate when he encounters something new: For example, he isn’t entirely cautious when he catches the flickering light of the burning bush, though one can argue that he’s also drawn there spiritually.  Another instance: He’s happy to be hands-on in Midian, minus the dancing at first.
Although Moses’ tertiary Ni surfaces in his ability to grasp the potentials that people and situations hold (“I know [Rameses] will live up to your expectations. He only needs the opportunity.”), Moses’ sense of direction and of greater purpose are shaken after he becomes unsure of what good/worth he can contribute to the world.  He “loses” himself in the present, to a free and joyful life in Midian.  However, he regains his drive and sight of the larger picture, with the help of all the figures in his life — Jethro and Tzipporah, Gd, Miriam and Aaron, and Rameses — committing to the task given to him.

🦜Astrology Observations Pt.4🦜
Collaboration with @venusfun 🌈
Huge thanks to my wonderful bestie @venusfun for sharing an amount of observations in this astro notes and helping me with the overall view of this post. Also please check her out if you don't know her yet, she creates a lot of spectacular astrology posts and you can learn a lot about asteroids from her blog❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Tumblr media
Part 1. Asteroids
🌈According to research, asteroid Angel(11911) was first discovered when it was still under the sign of Sagittarius
🌈Having your asteroid DNA(55555) in an earth sign can indicate that your children may see you as someone who is grounded, hard working, practical, and very stubborn. They might look up to you because you are capable enough of giving them the best life you could give and they would understand that your hard-work is a way to support the family
🌈Asteroid Psyche(16) in Pisces/Libra craves romance that is fanstasy-like, something out of this world or something magical that just came out of a romantic story. These folks are the types of people who might be actively looking for true love
🌈Vesta in the 7th house might prefer to not get married
🌈People with Psyche(16) conjunct mercury think on the “soul” level (with heart)
🌈Prominent Ceres can indicate being a very loving and supportive mother but if Ceres have many challenging aspects then it can be obsessing
🌈Diana(78) in an aspect with MC(midheaven) can indicate work with animals
🌈Sirene(1009) in 2nd house indicates beautiful voice
Part 2. MBTI & Astrology
Sidenote: There's no correlation between MBTI and Astrology and we are using this only for personality observations
🌈Cancer/Moon dominants fit with the stereotypes of ISFJ. Both are maternal, nurturing, supportive, sympathetic, selfless, always protects their loved ones, and are sick of dealing your shit lmao. Also they tend to be the Mom/Dad of their friend group and the ones who always brings food 😋😋
🌈 I noticed most Sagittarius placements tend be ENFPs or INFPs base on MBTI. Maybe because both are idealistic, goofy, huge procrastinators, creative, and free-spirited. This can also apply to Jupiter/Pisces dominants (For Pisces it's more on INFP)
🌈While Virgo placements are more fitting with ISTJ because they are dutiful, loyal, traditional, organized, reliable, practical, and fact-minded. And with ISTJs dominant cognitive function which is Si(introverted sensing) they can use the past as a guide and lesson to be used in the present which explains them relying on the tried and true methods in dealing things
🌈In my own opinion, Scorpio/Pluto dominant just gives me INTJ vibes. Maybe because of their analytical and reserved nature
🌈Since the earth signs are known for being observant and detail-oriented, they are more of a sensing type because sensors can notice every single detail of a certain thing such as noticing that you change your hairstyle or you changed your signature perfume and they can sometimes miss the bigger picture. Also sensing types are more focused on the present(Extraverted sensing) or in the past(Introverted sensing) rather than the future which fits the earth signs who are more focused on experiencing the physical world
Part 3. Composites
🌈Uranus in the 1st can indicate that people might perceive you two as best friends
🌈Neptune in the 1st can indicate that people might see the partners as very spiritual and "usually not seen around" relationship
🌈Pluto in the 1st can indicate that people might project you two as very intense and "deep" relationship
🌈Sagittarius ascendant in the composite chart will indicate that other people see the relationship as very fun and adventurous. It has a philosophical vibe
🌈Earth Ascendant in a composite chart can indicate the relationship as stable or grounded and loyalty is established
🌈Uranus in the 3rd can show that two of you may have some odd ways of conversing with each other or have an unusual way of expressing things that only the two of you can understand
Part 4. Degrees
🌈People with 8th degree on a personal planet (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Venus) can find success easily, especially when it comes to business. But if a person has at least three 8th degrees, then the individual can be very materialistic and is only “money-oriented"
🌈Having a good amount of Pisces degree(12°, 24°) in your chart can indicate that you are good or capable enough in balancing your fixation between reality and fantasy but having a lot of it can indicate of you having tendencies of escaping reality and isolating yourself from everyone
🌈Even if your placements are full of feminine/introverted signs(earth/water), if you have a lot of fire/air degrees in your chart especially in personal planets or in your ascendant, you may be more sociable and outgoing. This goes vice versa as well
🌈People with a lot of 5 degrees (at least 3) are actually passionate about going to the gym. A lot of athletes have this degree
🌈Having a Virgo/Scorpio degree(6°, 8°, 18°, 20°)in your personal planet can indicate someone who tends to question anything especially out of either curiosity or suspicion, these people need to be sure that you are trustworthy(they might find ways to trick you or manipulate the conversation to see if what you are saying is true)
Part 5. Random
🌈The house where Leo is in is where you are mostly loved for:
Example:
10H Leo = admired by your ambition and your organizational skills,
11H Leo = admired by how you make friends easily and your networking skills
5H Leo = admired by your passion towards your interests or hobby,
3H Leo = admired by your communication or verbal skills,
2H Leo = admired by your voice and how you handle your finances
🌈Water/Moon/Venus dominant 🤝 Can easily connect to music and would be dancing in their own room till someone enters in
🌈Fixed Moon/Venus/Rising are the types of people who when they find a good music, they would replay it endlessly till they are good enough to stop and feel contented already from listening to it
🌈October Scorpios tend to be more outgoing, sociable, and hot-tempered than November Scorpios but this doesn't change the fact both can be mysteriously alluring and are really intense individuals
🌈Pisces with a mix of Scorpio placements tend to have this dreamlike presence and looks. It's like their physical appearance are just oozing a dreamy yet mysterious vibes
Example: Jungwoo from NCT Pisces Sun + Scorpio Moon
Tumblr media
🌈Since the 9th house is the house that associates with religion, it also symbolizes the church and God
🌈The last 4 astrological signs in the zodiac wheel(♐︎ ♑︎ ♒︎ ♓︎)are known as the universal signs, these signs are mainly focused on the outer perspectives of life and are less focused with the self and their relationships. Sagittarius is focused on other cultures, religion, and their own opinion towards things, Capricorn is focused on the understanding of our physical self and the underlying achievements of one's hard work, Aquarius is focused on principles and humanity, and Pisces is focused on the spiritual aspects of life and the connection with the infinite universe
🌈Neptune in 1H/5H/9H/12H/Neptune dominant gives me a feeling like they belong during the renaissance era where philosophy and arts was at its highest peak, these folks tend to be abstract, artistic, and philosophical
🌈Mars in Cancer/Taurus/Libra are mostly seen as people who are very laid-back and many underestimate them base on their energy due to Mars being in detriment/fall with these specific signs
🌈Many people agrees that Geminis are great storytellers but no one talks about Virgos being good at story-telling as well. Both are ruled by mercury and they tend to have great ideas or stories that they can share and express with
🌈Pisces/Aquarius/Sagittarius Rising are the types of people who would wander around the mall(or a public place in general) and accidentally separates from their friends or family and gets lost
Damn, this was a long ass ride 😅😅 hope you guys enjoyed this astrology observations made by me, @leolo404 and @venusfun ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Id like to submit a Yuta drabble request 🥺 I don't have a prompt but I have some general ideas. Like office au where you and Yuta are coworkers and he's your junior or being in a newish relationship with Yuta and you tell him you want to know everything about him and you guys open up to each other or holding hands with Yuta. My mbti is intp and yeah!
Author’s Note: Thank you for sending in this request! I tried my best to combine these all into one drabble so I hope you enjoy it :)
Tumblr media
Pairing(s): Yuta x Female Reader
Genre(s): Fluff, Office!AU, friends to lovers
Warning(s): None
Word Count: 1k
Tumblr media
“So this is how you load all the papers in to scan,” you demonstrated for Yuta, the new hire in your division. “You just slide the papers in and let the machine do the work for you. Got it?” He nodded his head, making some of his blonde hair fall into his face.
He was quite handsome and it made you wonder what someone like him could be doing, working in a boring office from the typical 9 to 5 instead of doing something more…entertaining. Like modeling, acting, those kinds of things. But regardless, just because he was attractive didn’t mean you had to immediately tell him all of your hard-earned ins and outs of all the menial tasks you were told to guide him through.
You did enjoy the fact that you were the one who had been given orders to help Yuta though since once he truly started in his position, he would often come to you for help or advice. He was just the slightest bit intimidating at first due to how angry he looked when he was asking for help, but you learned that was just his thinking face. He always spoke to you kindly and tried his best to use his words efficiently but also politely.
Yuta had established himself as a hard-working junior in your mind and you were the first person to encourage him to join the monthly company dinner so he could meet a few of the other people you both worked with. It wasn’t a ‘company’ dinner per se since it was only for those that were on your floor, but it still would be a good way for Yuta to get acquainted with his coworkers. You wanted him to branch out and be able to ask them for help since you weren’t always the best resource to use for certain tasks.
He sat directly across from you at the table and despite being the more talkative out of the two of you, you ended up introducing him to your coworkers and leading those conversations for him. Of course, you let him respond to questions that were directly related to him and his hobbies or other outside interests, and from that, you learned that he’s a huge anime fan. You were a bit surprised since that did not seem to match his exterior but you figured that everyone can have their own interests, no matter how strange.
Gradually, his smile appeared more often throughout the night and you would sometimes catch him making funny faces at you from across the table when your eyes met. You felt proud of him for opening up and giving a seemingly good first impression to your colleagues.
When the event ended, you were going to take the subway home just as you normally did, but Yuta graciously offered to drive you home instead. It was late and you felt that he had only pure intentions so you accepted and gave him the address to your apartment. He even walked you to the door of the lobby, wanting to make sure you got in safely. “Thank you for helping me out tonight, I know it must have been a burden to take care of me for so long.”
“No, not at all,” you refused, “it’s a pleasure to work with you.”
“I’m glad we both feel the same way.” He hesitated for a second before continuing on. “Actually, there’s something I want to ask you.”
“Go ahead,” you encouraged.
“Recently, I feel like I’ve developed a crush on you, so I was wondering if maybe you’d be interested in being my girlfriend?” You were a little flustered and didn’t respond immediately. “I know it may be a bit soon so it’s totally fine if you don’t want to,” he blurted out upon seeing your reluctance.
“No, no, it’s okay. I would actually like that a lot.” Your life had been a little boring recently, you figured there could be no harm in something like this.
Over time, your relationship with Yuta progresses and the two of you grow from sharing awkward hugs that made him blush, to sitting in his bed together while watching shows and movies late into the night. “What do you want to watch?” he asked.
“Hmm, I don’t know. Surprise me.” You wanted to give him the liberty to share his interests with you.
He picked out a movie called ‘The Tale of Princess Kaguya’ and from the stills and the description alone, you were surprised that he would go for this kind of thing. Though it was released in 2013, it had an older art style that reminded you of drawings in Asian scrolls. Similar to how you were slightly taken aback when he admitted to being an anime fan, you were curious as to how he would have come across this.
“You know, I feel like there’s still so much that I don’t know about you. I knew you were interested in anime but I didn’t know it included things like this,” you told him as the film’s introductory credits began to play.
“Well, maybe now is a better time than ever,” he straightened up and turned to face you, grabbing your hands to hold in earnest. “My name is Yuta and I’m a 26-year-old who was born and raised in Osaka, Japan. I like soccer, journaling, and being outside in sunny weather. My hobbies include binge-watching anime and listening to J-rock. How’s that?”
He had already told you over half of those things, leaving you unsatisfied. “That was nice, but I want to know everything about you.”
“Okay, and I want to know everything about you too,” he laughed, “but maybe later because the movie is starting.”

This isn’t really an ask, and you might not even see this, but I just wanted to say thanks again for providing me with a link to find the MBTI test - for some reason I only found informative articles online or tests that I had to pay for. Also, result’s in: ENFJ…which is fair enough, I guess🤣
It’s fairly accurate, but I believe people change, grow and evolve their entire lives and I still do think there are more than just 16 personality types given there are nearly 8 billion people in the world, but it was an entertaining and interesting way of assessing myself. I just think that there’s no way we can only fit into 16 personality types and that’s it - and I know that’s not the point and it might get confusing to provide more. At the end of the day, it was a fun little experiment. Didn’t match with anyone, but - even though it’s not a big deal - JM did get the same result when the members took the test in 2017 and 2021. I’m still taking it all with a grain of salt, but it was fun😊
I also just wanted to tell you that I love your blog so much and wanted to tip my hat to how well you’ve put it together. I’ve only been ARMY since late June of last year (I missed Muster by, like, a week😭) and blogs like yours have really helped to educate me on all things Bangtan. It’s been specially helpful given that this is my first ‘comeback’ - which, is it usual to be this emotional about it? I haven’t been part of the BTS-ARMY family for a whole year and yet they have truly touched me, they have helped me through a really difficult time in my life, and I’m so happy for them and so proud of them and I’m thrilled to be part of this family that is ARMY. The impact they’ve had on me in such a short amount of time is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before as a fan of all things music and art. I can’t begin tell you how excited I am for Festa, for Muster and for the release of ’Proof’. Both Tumblr and Twitter have, surprisingly, offered pretty helpful tips and guides on all things related to comebacks. Generally though, Tumblr has been more helpful when it comes to the connection between the members - which, to me, is one of the most special and unique things about BTS apart from their art and their love for ARMY. Pretty early on, I noticed how JM and JK were with each other (I hadn’t even joined the BTS side of social media yet since this happened around July or maybe August of last year and so I hadn’t joined Weverse or really used Twitter - the content that I had seen was mostly on YouTube and it was footage from V LIVE/BV/ITS and Bangtan Bombs) and they really caught my eye. Their dynamic and their interactions just felt really special and intimate. It wasn’t until, I think, October or November that I really started to find these blogs which, it’s strange to say, but Tumblr, overall, really is my safe haven when it comes to the relationships between the members, because Twitter is a mess in that aspect. I love Twitter, and for the most part I have fun there. My typical day to day on Twitter is pretty chill, but it can be so toxic and vile when it comes the members’ interactions, specifically JM & JK’s and V & JK’s, with each other and the way that JM is treated by many on that site, so I tend to jump ship from Twitter and come here when that happens. I really am not giving any antis, obsessive shippers or fake OT7 accounts any excuses here, because some of them are truly miserable human beings, but I do believe that they’re all envious of JM. They’re bitter that they’re never gonna be as wonderful as he is - as talented, or hard-working or beloved as he is. Because, at the end of the day, that’s the reality - JM is so loved around the world, but specially at home and particularly by his 6 members. For that reason, and more, your blog is definitely one of my favourites and one of my go-tos so, thank you. Thank you for creating a space that is safe and fun and warm. A space where there isn’t full of malicious speculation or baseless assumptions; where we can just love all the members, but especially, enjoy and support the beautiful connection that JM and JK have. I also want you to know that I so respect how you handle all the haters and antis on here and how you stand up for yourself and others. You rock. Thank you for everything. Lots of love💕😊
This made me cry. Thank you so much for all your kind words. I have had an insanely emotional afternoon/evening. I've been crying on and off all day and this just really hit me for some reason right now. Thank you sincerely. I'm okay, I promise. Just a lot stuff being talked about and happening in my personal life.
Tumblr media
And thank you so much too for sharing your story with us! Your first comeback is always so special and its amazing that yours is such an incredible anthology album like Proof! I'm thrilled for you! 💜💜 and I'm happy I could help with finding that link for you!
Thanks again. I hope you have an amazing rest of your day 💜💜💜

Hi, I noticed you did the MBTI types of the ORV characters, and I was wondering what you think the MBTI types are for the Revue Starlight gals :D
Anon, I want you to know that this google doc is 14 pages single-spaced, and I'm still not done.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'm so glad you asked!! I'll be breaking this up into four parts so we don't have to scroll through one massive wall of text. The other schools will take a bit more time to publish as I'm still working on a couple from each (I think I have four girls left!).
But without further ado:
Starira MBTI Part 1 - Seisho
Siegfeld
Frontier
Rinmeikan
I had a lot of help with all of this reading @HalfACape’s wonderful character analyses of so many of the girls on twitter, as well as consulting the Personality Database page for the characters I was less sure about (though there were a few I disagreed with on there - none in Seisho, we'll be discussing the others later). But everyone feel free to discuss if you disagree with anything!
Karen Aijo: ENFP
ENFPs’ dominant function is Ne (extroverted intuition) (that running gag Karen has in the game where she mishears words, spouting off suggestions even if they make absolutely zero sense to the situation at hand - “telescope? telephone? telenovella?” - is such stereotypical Ne). Ne is always running towards any possibility, no matter how unlikely it seems, and I don’t need to spell out for you how much of that we saw from Karen in the anime. Ne-Fi feed each other to create a rebel/free-spirit type of personality (Ne seeks all possibilities, Fi holds strong inner values and selfish desires - what do I want, what do I need? How does this make me feel?). Her Te isn’t too developed yet, which is fine because it’s tertiary and she’s still so young. That tertiary, undeveloped Te shows up in her scatterbrained, lackadaisical, go-with-the-flow attitude (but when dominant Fi gets fired up by something - like an old childhood friend coming home - it kicks Te into high gear). Inferior introverted Sensing shows no respect towards rules or regulations - see her revue with Junna (Si-dominant) and the anger she draws out of Maya for (a child of the system and traditionally hard worker) in their Revue of Pride. Karen is the natural rebel, the forever optimist, the sunshine girl - textbook ENFP.
Mahiru Tsuyuzaki: INFP
If you want to see what leading with an introverted function looks like compared to an extroverted function, compare Mahiru to Karen! They share the exact same functions, just flipped on the I/E axis. So Mahiru is Fi, Ne, Si, Te. Karen is Ne, Fi, Te, Si. And Mahiru is a very clear example of an INFP - such a warm, brilliant, awe-inspiring person, but can also be her own worst enemy and others tend to underestimate her. And it’s hard, I don’t blame her! Leading with Fi and not having that physical/in the moment Se to support it (like ISFPs do, just compare her to Kaoruko--yes--they’re only one letter off from each other) means that it’s extremely hard for INFPs to naturally advocate for themselves...so instead, they retreat into their own imaginations where it’s safer (Ne). BUT THEY’RE SO INCREDIBLE!! THERE’S SO MUCH THERE TO RESPECT AND ADMIRE!! *shakes her like maracas* IF YOU WOULD JUST SHOW US!!!!!!! (and this is her whole arc in the anime i don’t need to tell her lol). It’s actually so interesting how she and Karen’s Fi and Ne escapism manifests in their respective introverted/extroverted personalities. These two really are more similar than most of us think!
I love INFPs so, so much because they’re like sleeping giants. Once they get a hold of and develop that inferior extroverted Thinking it’s over - nobody else can compare. They’re like the characters in video games that start off super weak, and then you blink and suddenly they’ve become the most powerful units near the end of the game.
Kagura Hikari: INTJ
ENFP’s stereotypical partner (I swear every other reserved person A/sunshine person B couple in fiction is this type pairing) and while it’s tropey it works because these two types play off each other so well. I actually originally had her pegged as an ISTJ, but I think that her bullheadedness earlier in the anime is more indicative of Ni being stubborn. Hikari is cagey, reserved (tert Fi/inferior Se), and an incredibly high-achieving individual (dominant Ni sets specific goals, auxiliary Te implements). Her tertiary Fi (which INTJs LOVE to keep locked up, right here, forever, until they die) is so obvious as you slowly learn just how much of a sap/romantic she is. It’s her weaker Fi that holds that sentimentality towards Starlight after all these years, her Fi that struggles to hold on to that childhood promise, her Fi that has her following Karen (and eventually Mahiru as well) around like a duckling (though we initially get the impression that the dynamic is the other way around). She grows to care deeply for all the other girls around her and that’s all her tertiary introverted Feeling getting stronger as the story progresses! Like so many people in the fandom have realized, she isn’t a mean person, she’s just socially awkward. Not too much to say on her inferior Se, that mostly manifests in how she’s a homelier person who would rather stay in than go out, and doesn’t actively try to seek new experiences (this was what had me thinking ISTJ at first).
Junna Hoshimi: ISTJ
Karen’s polar opposite - they actually share the exact same functions, just in reverse! So Junna leads with introverted Sensing where it’s Karen’s weakest, and Karen leads with extroverted Intuition where it’s Junna’s weakest. And we see this play out in their revue!
Junna is one of my favorite characters in the series for a reason and it’s because it’s SO rare to see the ISTJ in a rebellious role. Si is all about following and respecting order, and Junna breaks all of that to create her own! We see that dominant Si show up in literally every other facet of her life, though - from her by-the-book attitude to her stringency with deadlines and tardiness to her respect for the creatives of old - Shakespeare, Nietschze, etc. She’s an incredibly bright and successful student as well (any type can be of course but the “kind of student” she is is very much Te supporting Si - super studious and placing heavy weight on studying and getting straight A’s). And her Fi is SO GOOD. SO SO SO SO GOOD AND SO APPARENT - MUCH stronger than IxTJ’s sibling Hikari’s at the start of the anime. That’s where the rebellious part of her spirit comes from - her values, her strong sense of self and desire for autonomy (EXTREMELY Fi thing - Fi is all about the self, how I feel about something, what I want out of this, not feeling trapped by others’ expectations, etc.). Inferior Ne manifests in how she struggles with improvisation, ends up tunnel visioning (see her revue with Karen), and can sometimes struggle to accept new ideas or ways of doing things (Junna works so hard, but it’s evident in the anime and a lot of her starira bond stories that she can end up getting stuck in her old ways if someone else doesn’t come in to offer a new perspective -- see her Jekyll bond story dialogue with Maya!). Another example we see is when her extroverted xSTJ sibling Akira, who has Ne a step higher than her but understands where she’s coming from with their shared functions, guides her towards using it in the High Priestess bond story!
Nana Daiba: ESFJ
Textbook ESFJ!! Caring, motherly, affable; Fe doms are always looking to appeal to the group and make sure that everybody feels comfortable (and, likewise, are very keen on suppressing their own insecurities/emotions/discomforts). Nana is not ambitious for ambition’s sake, and in fact suppresses her own talents to appeal to the group. As for that Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :) Si aux… :)
Unhealthy Si can manifest as an extreme fixation on past experiences and a fear of moving on (we’re going to see this later with Si-dom Fumi too). Her poor tertiary Ne had gotten absolutely quashed by her stronger auxiliary Si in the anime - it doesn’t want to change anything! Claudine and Maya can be the leads again. We don’t need to modify the script. The first one was already perfect, why are we risking failure by changing things?! Also, holding herself back for the sake of everyones’ happiness is so Fe dom it hurts. If you want to see the difference between ESFJ and ENFJ (the two Fe-doms of MBTI), compare her to Michiru, who also suppresses her talents -- yes to cultivate the other girls’ (specifically Akira’s) brilliance but also for the sake of her ulterior motives to one day create her own troupe (aux Ni at work vs. Nana’s aux Si). Nana’s is more deferrant, but still just as ferocious - she’ll defeat Maya 60 times over to get what she wants. And the craziest thing is that all of this comes out of love and fear - she’s scared, and all of that is coming from her unhealthy Si aux. Junna is a very good example for her to follow for healthier Si.
Claudine Saijo: ENTJ
“DON’T IGNORE MY LINES!!!” ENTJs LOVE being at the top - the leaders of the pride, the people in charge, the ones you have to answer to (AND she’s a Leo too. Jfc girl pick a struggle LMAOOOOO). You get the picture - except Claudine isn’t in that position. Maya is. Claudine doesn’t even get a revue or her own song, because she’s Maya’s eternal second. This is a really, really uncomfortable spot for an ENTJ to be in, and it’s evident in how hard she pushes herself - and how antsy she gets whenever Maya is around. But Claudine never blames an outside system or factors like Karen (inferior Si) does for her situation - she just gets angry and more driven to succeed, bulldozing her way to the finish line (dominant Te-tertiary Se interacting). The tragedy of her character is that she will never surpass Maya, so we see her Ni begin to reframe achieving the very top to becoming the only star in Maya’s eye (little does she know that she’s already succeeded). That ripping off of her cloak at the end of the revue duet - “the only loser here is me” - is her inferior Fi poking its head out. At the end of the day, Claudine is an interesting character because she’s a walking contradiction. She’s a star denied a spotlight, but she isn’t a failure either, so she’s forced to grapple with this ambiguous, there-but-not-quite-there middle ground. It’s one big identity crisis in the making, and it’s clear to see why so many people relate to her and love her as a character - a lot of us can empathize with never quite being satisfied, and looking up towards heights that can appear insurmountable.
Maya Tendo: INFJ
She seems so normal and established and then you look closer and realize there’s something seriously wrong with her and oh my god where did this massive god complex come from. Typical Ni dom
From her detached, more “mature” personality to her altruistic and often surprisingly keen insight towards people, she has so many key makings of an INFJ. That dominant Ni is strong in Maya - everything is poured into theatre. Everything. From her hobbies to her interests to her personality, everything Maya does in her life is deliberate and all of it is for the sake of theatre. Ni bitches LOVE to fixate on just one thing, and for Maya, that is the stage. “I have no need for those who lack willpower...Come climb up here if you have the resolve...A single step forward is a step closer to my dream” is just...yeah I’m being redundant. Dominant introverted intuition. Ni Ni Ni Ni. This girl embodies it - while Hikari is also a Ni-dom, Maya shows a TON more of it than her (can’t say I blame the writers - Ni is probably the most difficult function to write because it requires thinking so many steps ahead for your character). We can see a marked difference between INFJs and INTJs here in how Maya and Hikari practice solitude - Hikari purposely isolates herself from Karen to avoid hurting her, while Maya purposely isolates and crafts herself into an untouchable God to serve as an inspiration to others (auxiliary extroverted Feeling). Want to see how this looks with the INFJ’s extroverted sibling, the ENFJ? Look at how Michiru crafts Akira’s public image. That’s Ni and Fe at work, just in different priority slots (Maya is Ni dominant, Michiru is Fe dominant - they share the same functions, just flipped on the I/E axis). That tertiary Ti is very prevalent too - Maya mostly keeps her thoughts to herself, and loves to mull over things. She definitely isn’t the first one to shout out an answer, she prefers to think things over.
One interesting comment that really stood out to me on her personality database page was how she’s an INFJ with an INTP persona in the anime, and I think I agree (INFJs and INTPs tend to present similarly and can be easily confused with each other anyway)! But I want to add on to that - I think that INTP presentation is her auxiliary Fe at play crafting a persona that better coincides with Claudine’s, as ENTJ/INTP matchups are extremely compatible (not saying Maya was thinking about MBTI LOL but rather she brought out and exemplified aspects of her personality that would better complement Claudine’s - their partnership is not a one-way street at all! Maya does so much for her!!). Just compare anime Maya to stageplay Maya, where she gives no headway and is absolutely brutal to Claudine.
Futaba Isurigi: ISTP
Futaba is such a great example of what a healthy ISTP can look like! Dominant Ti shows up in how she communicates with others - she's honest, direct, and to the point, but it's never utilized in a way that’s mean-spirited (contrary to how her girlfriend often can be) - it’s just how she communicates. Claudine (a Te dom which works SO well with Ti) actually points out in Starira that this is why they get along so well. Aux Se shows up in her physicality - her love and strength is in stage fights, she's into mechanics with her motorcycle and does all the maintenance herself, etc. Funnily enough, I think that tert Ni, while a slot above Fe, is actually Futaba’s least developed trait (or, at least, the one she's most guarded about) - she went into Seisho to follow Kaoruko, and her aux Se dominates that tert slot and gives her a … little bit of a lackadaisical attitude? Obviously not as much as someone like Karen, but in many senses she doesn't outwardly display a strong fear or anxiety towards the future like the other girls (completely understandably) do - and it’s that tert Ni getting angry when she feels as if Kaoruko is stagnating in her plans. There’s some inklings of her own plan for the future, but Futaba’s own individual plans are mostly kept to herself, so we don’t know how much or little she’s done about them. (I have more to add but will not continue as I’m venturing into movie spoilers territory, but for those that have watched/read them, try to draw your own conclusions based on what I’ve said!). I think that having such a close relationship with Kaoruko is what pushed her to develop that inferior Fe so early to support her girlfriend's dominant Fi. I actually originally had her typed as ESTP for how strong her Fe was (ESTPs have it a slot higher than their introverted siblings), but she really doesn’t strike me as an extrovert, and ISTPs with developed Fe can be very warm, affable people too!
Kaoruko Hanayagi: ISFP
“Kaoruko Hanayagi’s dream is world domination.”
Kaoruko is such a great example of what an unhealthy ISFP can look like! LMAOOO but no, I’m dead serious - if you want to know what unhealthy introverted Feeling looks like, look to Kaoruko. Everything is me me me me me me me, to hell with what anyone else wants (if you want to compare unhealthy Fe to unhealthy Fi, compare Nana and Kaoruko). Tertiary Ni shows up to support Fi in how surprisingly sharp she is towards other people - what makes them tick, exactly where to hurt, their inner thoughts and feelings (see her bathtub conversation with Mahiru).
BUT THAT DOMINANT Fi IS ALSO SUCH A POWERFUL THING. That “me me me me me me” is going to turn into “my vision, and what I want to create, and what I’m going to do” (once that inferior Te finally develops - which Kaoruko is going to be forced to put work into eventually). This is why, like Mahiru, I think that Kaoruko is seriously going to blossom later on in life - ISFPs and INFPs, the Pisces of the MBTI, have this weird penchant for going under the rader and then becoming insanely fucking successful OUT OF NOWHERE??? Like, they aren’t super motivated and driven with a specific plan like Ni-strong xNxJs, or disciplined and hardworking like Te-strong xSTJs, but???? You blink and suddenly they’re millionaires with four creative projects going on simultaneously (but if they get bored with any of them they’ll drop them instantly - you could not pay me all the money in the world to be an IxFP’s manager it must be an absolute nightmare <3). Just...legends out of nowhere? Rihanna is an ISFP Pisces so I have real world evidence to back this up.

[🌄 @armin-ocean-eyes​ requested one (1) regular Ouran High School Host Club matchup. I have just the ingredients for that! Sit tight while I get to work.🌌]
Taurus INTJ-t here 😗✌️So,,,,hi I guess! Also, since you are two (2) inches shorter than me, I am legally obligated to adopt and protect you. I apologize if I use gender neutral pronouns for you. That’s just my default!
Anyways, I have just the guy for you:
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
🌓Kaoru Hitachiin🌓
Tumblr media
(Please tell me this is Kaoru, gifs are stupid 😭😭😭)
🌱Humble Beginnings🌱
You are the daughter of the C.E.O. of a successful publishing agency
You were no stranger to the wealthy lifestyle. But, your parents made it a point to not let you become vain, lazy, or unsympathetic to the human condition
I’m not too sure if there’s an actual term for this, but a thing I like to call “right-brained intellectualism" was emphasized in your household. Basically, the ability to classify complex human emotions and not only understand them. But, view them through the lenses of objectivity and abstract concepts (Hence, the “right-brained” part)
The goal was to instill curiosity in you to explore how different personalities act in different situations and why. This could ultimately help you guide your social interactions in the future
(Forgive me if I'm speaking over your head! This information serves a purpose I promise!)
So, essentially super-charged EQ
But, here's where it comes in handy:
Due to your reserved tendencies, you weren't that high on Ouran's social ladder. Especially in middle school. You tried your best not to pay that fact any mind, reminding yourself to always pack an extra novel in case you finished your current one during the day
But, the (sort of) benefit to having so much time on your own, was that you had plenty of time to observe the students around you. Their actions, quirks, and relationships
Two particular oddballs caught your eye
Brothers. Identical twins that seemed to want no company than that of each other
You knew they had names. You knew what they were. But, not being able to pin a name to an identical face made that fact lose meaning
They didn't have any friends (Which wasn't a hyperbole). But, neither of them seemed shy, like you were
Rather, they were the asocial types. And you saw secondhand that they went out of their way to keep their little world for only them
You had accidentally seen one day what they did to girls that dared to confess their feelings for one twin. And that only reaffirmed that trying to figure out why the Hitachiins acted the way they did was too much pressure for your meek little heart
But...still.
There weren't any surface level answers to reach for that could calm your curiosities (Other than just passing the Hitachiins off as jerks and moving on). You could tell their reasoning was much more complex
And that. Frustrated you
To ease your mind, you wanted to start off small: Learn which is Hikaru, and which is Kaoru
One day, just before the lunch period started, you had finished your current novel. But, when you reached for the extra book in your bag, it had ✨vanished✨
You panicked a bit. You knew you packed the book. You re-checked earlier in the day!
The teacher unfortunately noticed you looking around like a lost puppy, asking what was wrong
"Mm?? Oh- uh...I just lost my book. It's, y'know, it's fine! I'll just...look for it later..."
The teacher didn't pick up on how embarrassed you were, asking the class if someone wanted to help you look
You were surprised when someone actually raised their hand
And just your luck, it was one of the twins, who turned to his brother and reassured him that they'd see each other at lunch
You (lowkey paralyzed by fear) followed the Hitachiin's lead, waiting until the rest of the class had left the room to begin your search
But, as you started to sift through the shelves in the back, you felt the boy tap your shoulder
And there it was in his hand, the first edition book on botany you had gotten for your birthday not too long ago
"You...you found it already??"
He rubbed the back of his neck, more bashful than you would've pegged him for
"Kind of…? I took it during class. I thought your reaction would be funny, but it was sort of just hard to look at. It would've just been cruel to embarrass you more in front of everyone."
"Oh...well, thanks for telling me at least."
The boy raised an eyebrow, your reactions catching him off guard once more
"You're not mad?"
"Not really. You realized your mistake and that's more than some can say. So, I can forgive that."
"Hm...well, I should get going. I can't keep him waiting!"
Before he left, you called out to him, asking for his name
"Hm? Kaoru."
🌳Flourishing Love🌳
The start of you and Kaoru's romantic relationship actually began in high school
The (in)famously idealistic Tamaki Suoh had approached you, Hikaru, and Kaoru to be a part of his new "host club". The twins as a part of the service, you as the manager (To garner male financial support, of course :D)
Since you weren't involved in a club anyway, you agreed to join next semester for your first year of high school
Once Haruhi came into the picture, you became fast friends. Seeing as you were both practical souls, if not intellectual
Through your friendship with Haruhi, you got closer to the twins you were so afraid of all that time ago
Especially Kaoru, the twin you had spoken to first
Both of your crushes formed rather fast as you got to know each other personally (And since Hikaru was already starting to take interest in Haruhi)
Kaoru had fallen for the way you never made face-value judgements of people. Like how you were so understanding about his dumb prank on you just last year
He learned to love the bright rays of passion that shone through your timid exterior. The way you talked about the things you loved like they were the greatest things in the world. You always made your case with such conviction, and Kaoru couldn't help but believe you all the way
You, Haruhi, Hikaru, and Kaoru were hanging out in the courtyard one day, and Kaoru had managed to get you to talk about the flora and fauna in the area (Which quickly segwayed into how you loved gardening and caring for animals)
All the while, Kaoru intently listened, staring at you like you were the only person in the world
During a pause in your avid canine classification spree, Kaoru picked up a few cornflowers that had fallen from a bush, putting them in your hair and behind your ear
While you were blushing up a storm, Kaoru bluntly, but sweetly, confessed
Hikaru and Haruhi looked on, endeared that the two sweetest souls in their little group had finally gotten together
In your relationship, you manage to draw out the more relaxed and mature side of Kaoru's personality
(Though, you always get a good laugh out of his more cunning and mischievous side)
You always affirm to him that he can enjoy both sides of being a twin, and being his own unique person. He doesn't necessarily have to choose
Kaoru definitely takes advantage of your height difference, using you as an armrest at the most inopportune times
He loves to kiss each and every one of your freckles (At least, on your face and neck). No matter what you think of them, he sees them as little targets to go for when he wants to shower you with love
But, like a respectful boy, he always lets you take off your glasses first if you need to
You guys went ice skating for your first date! Since it was your hobby, you paid for skating, and Kaoru paid for food afterwards. Kaoru knew how to skate, but pretended not to so he could have an excuse to hold your hands
Kaoru found out about your violin training later in the relationship, immediately teasing you about playing for one of the host club's sessions at some point
He has undoubtedly picked up a disturbing amount of animal facts from you and the documentaries you watch. He shares them with the host club to get disgusted reactions from them, and flattered smiles from you 😊
Y'all are just so freaking cute together, I need to chug salt to get the sweetness out of my mouth ❤️
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
[🌌 There you go bud! That’s one matchup for the road. Hopefully it lasts for a while, but if it doesn’t, feel free to come back! I’d be thrilled to see you again.🌄] —Reagan

hi! i was wondering if you could help me out with figuring out my mbti type, if you don't mind. i've self identified as an enfp 4w3 for the longest time, but as i've grown up and saw other enfps around me, i couldn't help but wonder if that is really my type as well.
- i am pretty expressionistic, i'd say. my fashion sense is very important to me and i love dressing extravagantly. of course, at times when i don't feel well, i throw everything into the wind and look so disheveled (but that's moreso on rare occasions)
- i only have a few close friends, but find that i'm a polarizing person who gets very strong reactions out of people, as I've been told i come across as fake and intimidating. although i just try to make other people feel comfortable around me and/or have my guard up when i don't trust someone around me, so i kind of get where they're coming from lmao
- it's hard to motivate myself to study for uni, but as soon as someone else needs to study with me or the same topic, i become so efficient, i surprise myself with it. i write guides, compile video lists etc it's just so boring and tedious to get through, but my own ego and knowing other people rely on me, really helps me out
- i've been told i seem very ne dom-ish, but i feel like that's mostly from people who don't knoe me as much and people I'm currently trying to win over and befriend. but i can see their reasoning, i am interested in a lot of topics (from literature to music to film to human rights to politics etc) and i can go on tangents sometimes lmao
I don't know, maybe i'm just fooling myself and i really am an enfp, but i'd love to hear your opinion!
Hi anon,
I cannot tell your type from this - ENFP (and 4w3) is certainly very possible and more likely than a lot of other types, but there's not enough to definitively confirm it.
Usually if someone thinks they're an extrovert, they are (the inverse is not true due to introversion bias) and a lot of this seems extremely people-oriented and very aware of others' reactions to you, so I do think that's appropriate. I also think you are correct in that you're a feeler given what you say about being motivated by others relying on you but this could be Fe or Fi and I lean a little more towards high Fe.
The part about seeming fake and intimidating initially with people you don't know could come from 4w3; it also fits Fe-dom extremely well. The same goes for dressing expressively (which anyone can do, but I associate it more with a handful of types/traits including high Se, extroversion, being a feeler, and enneagrams 3 and 4).
I think it's very normal to be interested in lots of topics, especially in college/university, and so I wouldn't take that as specific evidence, but the fact that you think people who don't know you as well tend to argue for Ne dom is interesting.
I would give ESFJ, maybe with 3w4 (but also, maybe with 4w3 which is much rarer with ESFJ but not impossible), a good hard look. I think it's very possible as a couple of things you mention sound a little more like Fe than Fi to me, and if you are a typical age for a university student you'd be in the middle of tert Ne development which would explain some of the seemingly high presence of Ne.

Typing the Turtles (ROTTMNT) Part 1 - Raphael
This started out as an investigation into the turtles’ insecurities, because one thing the show does so well is demonstrate that they are still teenagers. And being a teenager is a confusing experience - there’s angst, drama, exploring one’s identity, a lot of growth, and overall figuring out who you are. That’s a messy process, too! And we see this mess in our turtles: they mess up, they’re learning, they self-doubt, they have fears and insecurities, but they’re also discovering their strengths and how to overcome their inner obstacles.
So after thinking about all this way too long, here’s my psychological breakdown of each turtle (I’ll be referencing MBTI and the Enneagram, but will include links for more general information on those if you don’t know what I’m talking about).
Raph: ISFJ, 6w5
The Defender, The Loyalist, The Big Brother, did I mention The Defender?
Raph is always helping out the little guy, whether that little guy is Mikey, Donnie, Leo, April or someone else. In the first episode, Mystic Mayhem, Raph is the one who notices poor Mayhem alone and scared, and suggests they should help him. He just met the little furball, and even after Mayhem attacks his face he’s still ready to fight some dog-jogger Yokai to protect him. He’s there when April’s school is attacked by Hypno (Hypno! Part Deux) and when she just needs her fan fixed (Repairin’ the Baron). He’s also there for a myriad of underdogs, such as Guy Flambe (Pizza Puffs). Interestingly enough, that episode also indicates that Raph has taken to moonlighting as the hero Red Angel of Preventing Harm.
Tumblr media
Raph at his Worst: What is Raph afraid of? Beyond Mrs. Cuddles. Raph is afraid of being alone. But he also feels strongly empathetic when others are alone: Mikey on a solo mission in Hot Soup: The Game, Mayhem in the pilot, Frankenfoot when he runs away.  But why? 
If we look through the lens of the Enneagram, Raph wants security and support. The system/structure he is most committed to is their inner circle of family/friends. So nothing must happen to those he loves!
Raph has also demonstrated Worst-Case Scenario thinking when he’s stressed. Alone for 5 minutes in Man vs Sewer? Expect the worst. In Nothing but Truffles, Mikey even flashes back to a Raph lecture about what to do in the event of a: shark attack, vampire attack, werewolf attack, and puppy attack.
That said, when someone does hurt someone he loves, or sufficiently threatens/scares him and/or his support system, all his disaster-planning goes out the window in an effort to SMASH IT LIKE A BOSS! (Counterphobic 6).
Tumblr media
He puts a lot of pressure on himself, but it’s not really about failing in big moments (as Leo describes it in Mystic Mayhem and Down with the Sickness, but that says more about Leo than Raph), but more about letting the others down. He needs to open the gateway to the Mystic City or else they’ll lose April forever. He needs to think of something to ask for in the Must Say Yes stage that will please all his brothers and not leave anyone out. And, in Insane in the Mama Train, Raph is the one most affected when Splinter says he’s disappointed. The others were willing to brush it off and apologize, but Raph is aware that they let Splinter down. It’s something worse, and he feels that hurt, deeply.
Raph is also sensitive enough that he sometimes takes things too personally. When Mikey and Donnie have a good idea in One Man’s Junk, he internalizes it as ‘Raph never has a good idea’. Mikey sorts that out the best: “We’re not saying you don’t have good ideas, Raph. We’re just saying we do, too.” It seems to snap him out of self-deprecating funk.
Average Raph: Raph wants to protect those he loves from physical threats, but also emotional ones. That’s why he’s so bad at handling interpersonal conflict. He can’t yell at Donnie in Donnie’s Gifts. He can’t yell at (Mike? Lou? Tony?) in the Pizza Pit because “it’ll destroy him”. He’s super conflict-averse when it comes to those he cares about. He doesn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings (ISFJ). Mostly this is a kind, caring, compassionate trait, but sometimes the situation needs Dr. Delicate Touch.
Tumblr media
He’s the supportive friend and brother. He’s always ready to help out, whether it’s fixing April’s fan (Repairin’ the Baron), rescuing Guy Flambe from Meatsweats (Pizza Puffs) or saving Mayhem from the mirror. He’s encouraging… but sometimes to the point of enabling. In Pizza Puffs he recognizes this the most and literally wrestles with himself over trying to let his brothers fix problems on their own without him there to protect them. Sometimes he can’t help but support his friends even when he doesn’t want to: when he’s volun-told by Mikey to help warm Draxum up to humans, he doesn’t ditch, and when April invokes the Birthday Card to help Warren Stone he honors it. He can be dedicated and loyal to a fault.
He can be a little short-sighted, at times. His team-building exercise in Stuck On You was meant to be a positive, brotherly, bonding experience, but suffered from serious drawbacks. His tenacity in smashing foes is admirable, but doesn’t always get the best results, something Donnie tries to get him to see and think through. But they’re also what makes him a force to be reckoned with. You do NOT mess with Raph’s inner circle and expect NOT to get smashed, hoss! And the fact that his brothers know that he has their backs like this is probably its own form of support and security.
Raph at his Best: He believes in the Mad Dogs the most, that they can be and are heroes. “We’re do-gooders! And what do do-gooders do? They do good! And they do good well.” (The Mutant Menace) His compassion and commitment to protecting the underdog keep the others on track and in line with their goals. He is the rock in the middle of the chaos.
Raph actually has good practical skills: he has the mission calendar that only he seems to consistently stick to, and clearly enough self-discipline to responsibly and reliably sleep with his retainer on every night (Flushed, But Not Forgotten)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He also has the most grounded sense of duty. When they’re watching the skateboarding livestream in Gilbert’s Department store in The Longest Fight, Raph is the one who first investigates what sounds like a robbery, and is the one who cajoles his brothers into fighting the Foot. It’s a ‘look, guys, we have to do the right thing here and prevent them from stealing!’ moment. Pizza Puffs: look, guys, you’re going to have to learn to solve problems without me, it’s for your own good! (He knows that’s what needs to happen, even though he’s at war inside over it).
Raph says: what’s the responsible thing to do? And he’s trying to get his brothers to understand this as well (Pizza Puffs).
Raph Relationships:
Donnie: despite the lack of a full Donnie & Raph episode, they have a few surprising things in common. They each have an episode where they want their brothers to learn something. Donnie, in Mind Meld, wants his brothers to be smarter and plan ahead. Raph, in Pizza Puffs, wants his brothers to use some common sense and be a little more responsible. They both like finding solutions to problems, just one focuses on technical and one focuses on interpersonal problems. Mostly (for right now, though) Raph can be blunt with Donnie. He’ll slap the genius in the face with reality. “Donnie! The mech is REAL!” (The Purple Game). “Donnie, I know you know how to say it. We’re all on to you.” (Air Turtle). This is one turtle with whom he can put his foot down and say ‘hey! Back to Earth, now!’ (I can also see them collectively sharing facepalm moments in the future).
Tumblr media
Leo: there are times when Leo’s need to be the best and stand-out attitude clash with Raph’s focus on teamwork (Air Turtle, for example “take your win-at-all-costs attitude somewhere else, Leo, we need to work as a team!”) but they do get to a point where both of their strengths in the group strengthen each other, like how iron sharpens iron. Raph wants everyone to work together as a team, but Leo sees their individual strengths. Without that, we get Raph’s glueball disaster in Stuck On You, but together, we have their greatest moment in Many Unhappy Returns. Leo points out the parts each member have to play, and Raph puts it all together in one big plan to defeat the Shredder. “Trust me, bro.” “I do.” (I’m really excited to see where the show goes with this).
Tumblr media
Mikey: the main Mikey & Raph episode right now actually seems to be Repairin’ the Baron, and there’s an interesting clash going on here. Raph believes and supports his system, his family. Draxum has been the mortal enemy of the Mad Dogs and deserves to be smashed. However, Mikey is adopting him into the family. Raph is not immediately okay with this, he has a hard time trying to change his inner world. But he cares about Mikey. As he tells Draxum “I’m still trying to get used to this, but Mikey thinks you’re part of the family. And the number rule of the Mad Dogs is: you always take care of family!” They’re actually very complementary, as Mikey can step in in emotionally charged situations where Raph can’t, and how his adaptability gets through Raph’s need for stability. (It will be interesting to see what Raph does as Mikey grows up).
Tumblr media
Ultimately, I’m excited to see Raph grow as he figures out the best way to guide this team and save the world. Home is where the heart is, and he’s got a big enough heart to be the home for a lot of people.
So that’s my (unbelievably cut-down) analysis of Rottmnt Raph! I’m going to save the relationships with April and Splinter for later, since this is already too long. Here are the links to learn more about the ISFJ and counterphobic 6w5 if you’re interested:

Wahhh your prompt matchups are such a cute idea! May I please request one for Ikevamp, with the prompts 5 (this sounds so interesting! Can I perhaps get Cinderella—balls make me soft) and 8 (i don’t drink, so my suitor would be the drunk one)? Take your time with this please, and take care!
Pronouns, MBTI, and Hogwarts House: I go by she/her, and I’m an ENTP-T Gryffindor (if I had the choice, I’d choose Slytherin tho).
Hobbies & Passion: I love English Literature (and general history), and I’m working to gain a PhD in the field as I’d love to talk with likeminded people about literary works. I also enjoy various sports, especially dancing, and baking, and writing... it’s hard to narrow down since I get distracted by other activities easily (Entp tingz)
Likes/Dislikes: I value honesty in relationships, even if the statements might be negative. Also, I like people that won’t disregard my physical boundaries—it takes me some time to accept physical affection from someone, but once I do open up, I can be vvv snuggly (if the other person is comfortable with it ofc). Beyond that, I believe you can work around lots of traits in a relationship if they aren’t too earth-shattering.
Attitude towards other people: Towards my loved ones, I’m very playful and loud, and I enjoy teasing the shit out of someone. While I’m blunt, I try to be softer around the people I love. I care a lot, so I can easily appear overbearing and annoying, I’m sure.
Towards strangers/acquaintances, however, I’m extremely critical, stubborn (except when someone actually brings a good argument), and argumentative (and it depends on my respect for them how harsh I will be). Mostly quiet, serious, and quick-witted. If my friends are around me tho, strangers will catch a glimpse of how loud and playful I can be.
Thank you so much for this in advance 💜💜💜
I match you with
Sebastian!
Tumblr media
 Thank you so much for requesting! I’m sorry it took so long! I got a little carried away with the prompts, but I hope you like them. If I ever write a cinderella AU for Sebby, we will all know the origin story.  I based the second prompt off of the first one, which has a meet cute vibe to it. I know you didn’t request that, but it sort of happened as I was writing 😅. Anyways, thanks again, I really hope you enjoy this!❤❤❤
To be honest, after reading your ask, the beautiful token human butler was my only option. While many of the residents could probably match your wit, Sebby is the one who would actively challenge you.
When you first met, you two wouldn’t stop bickering. Comte considered splitting the housework so you two would have to work together as little as possible, but neither of you are about to give up on your daily arguments. There are still points to be made.
Despite how your relationship looks like from an outsider’s perspective, you both do enjoy each other’s company, even if you have convinced the rest of the mansion of the opposite. Sebastian enjoys having someone around who will question him, helping him improve in the process, even if he won’t admit to that.
It doesn’t take long for you to come across his obsession love of history. You may come across a certain notebook, but neither of you shall ever speak of that again.
After that fateful day your conversations shift towards the topic of history. After living in a mansion full of geniuses for so long, with only a notebook to share his fangirling admiration with, he is very excited to have someone to share his discoveries with. You two can often be heard comparing historical figures, trying to conclude who was more impactful in the long run, while somehow managing to cook for the entire mansion in the process.
When you two grow closer, you get more comfortable, allowing him to witness another side to you. And so the teasing begins. You can’t help yourself. Despite how put together he looks, he is not immune to you. His reaction is especially picture worthy when you flick him for the first time. His eyes wide with shock, gloved hand rubbing his forehead. It’s impossible not to laugh. Even Comte, who happens to be present, can be heard chuckling/
 Prompt 5: Fairytale AU:
When you entered the ballroom, all eyes turned to look at you. You hoped the eye catching dress would work in your favor later. You sighed before descending down the stairs, eyes scanning the room for the prince. This was the chance you had been waiting for. The chance to get away from your stepmother. All you needed to do was convince the prince you were special, special enough to consider marrying. Being an option would be enough to earn you a fresh start.
When your eyes fell on the young man, you discreetly made your way towards him, waiting for the right moment to strike conversation. When the music started playing, you saw him looking around for a partner. You moved swiftly, before more ambitious women noticed.
“Care to dance?” you looked him in the eye, determined to achieve your goal. He smiled before putting his hands around your waist, guiding you to the dance floor. Everyone’s attention was on you. You were worried one of your step sisters would notice you, despite you best attempts to disguise yourself. You needed to get him away quickly.
“I was surprised to see a prince look so lonely in a room full of people.” He didn’t seem to hear you, his gaze seemingly somewhere far away.
“Um, sir?” he didn’t reply. When the song changed he pulled away, head dipping once before walking away in a hurry. You stood there, alone, discarded by a prince himself. He hadn’t even batted an eyelash.  Frustration welled up inside you as you watched him walk away. So much time built up to this. Another loss.
“Would you mind giving me this dance?” a young man appeared in front of you, his hair a mixed shade between black and grey, depending on the angle you looked at it from. He seemed anxious.
“Sure.” You couldn’t hide the disappointment from your voice as he took your hand, the two of you falling back in line with the rest of the pairs.
“I am sorry I’m not the partner you hoped for. The prince is… not motivated to find a partner tonight.” His words were meant to be comforting, but in that moment you didn’t care about what the prince wanted. He was your ticket out and he had barely even looked at you.
“He could try to be more considerate. Some of us aren’t so privileged we can play hard to get.” You knew it was probably reckless to speak of the future king that way, but you didn’t care. It was over now.
“He is… complicated. But he did care enough to send me lighten your mood. Not sure how much of an apology that is.” The man almost sounded sad. You looked him over for the first time that night. He wasn’t dressed like the other nobles. Something about his face was familiar.
“Aren’t you the prince’s assistant?” when the realization hit you, you wanted to kick yourself in the foot.
“Yes. You don’t have to look so worried. I can’t blame you for your frustration.”  You couldn’t let yourself relax, knowing you had just insulted the prince in front of his right hand man.
“I apologize for my disrespect. I just…” your voice trailed off.
“Just?” you hesitated, unsure of whether or not you could trust him. That was when the song ended. You expected the man to walk away, but he led you to a less crowded corner of the room, not speaking up until you had some privacy.
“His majesty never agreed with this ball. It was his father who insisted. The pressure of an heir weighs heavy on his shoulders.” You had figured that much. A ball that gets organized with the purpose of finding a wife isn’t the most romantic start to a love story.
“We all have to make sacrifices. Marriage is more often than not, based on interest, not love.”
“So I can presume you didn’t come here today because of your feelings for the prince?” you nodded, knowing there wasn’t much you could do after all you heard.
“I needed an escape. The prince could have given it to me.” You were both silent for a few minutes. You almost thought the conversation was over until he spoke up again.
“Can I show you something?” he was offering you his hand. This was the first time you were meeting this man, you weren’t sure if you could trust him, but something about the way he looked at you compelled you to put your hand on his, allowing him to lead you away from the crowded room.
You ended up on a balcony, the entire city laid down before you. The noise of the party was completely drowned out, only your breathing interrupting the silence.
“It’s beautiful” in that moment you forgot about your step mother, the prince, the party. It was only you and the world before you.
“It’s a vast world out there. You don’t need the prince to show you your way.” Everything felt so simple. The stars were bright that night, lighting the city bellow, stretching for miles, as far as the eye could see. You felt you opened your eyes after a long time.
“What’s your name?’
“Sebastian.”
 Prompt 8: Drunk
It had been a few months since you met Sebastian. After that first encounter the two of you grew closer, arranging outings when you were free. But today was the first time you were meeting after you managed to leave your step mother, your own house and work finally secured.
“This would have happened way sooner if you had let me help you know.” He had offered his help countless time, but you refused to take an easy way out.
“Absolute show-off. You know, offering so much help to someone usually looks a certain way, especially to an outsider.” You leaned closer to him, batting your eyelashes to get the full effect. His face quickly turned beet red. You couldn’t help but laugh as he coughed, trying to regain his composure.
“You are the one making it look that way you know.” He took a gulp of his drink, avoiding looking you in the eye.
After some time filled with similar interactions, Sebastian was slowly getting considerably drunker.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen you drink so much.” You looked back on the time you’ve known him, realizing you had never actually seen him drink before.
“I-It’s a celebration. T-That’s what pe-ople do.” His words were interrupted by a heavy amount of hiccupping.
“I think that’s enough alcohol for you.” You pulled the cup from his hand with ease, considering his limbs were practically jelly. “I wouldn’t have been offended if you didn’t empty the entire bottle.” You laughed watching him struggle to look you in the eye.
“I- I got it specifically f-or this occasion. It would be r-ude to let it g-o to waste.” You burst out laughing, unable to contain yourself as he fumbled with his words. Even drunk he was a gentleman.
“You should go to bed. Come one, up you go.” You tried to pull him to his feet, but his weight was just a little too much for you. “Come on, you can stay here for the night, but I’m not letting you sleep out on the balcony.” You looked at the view in front of you, feeling once again grateful you had found a house with one. It reminded you of your first meeting with him.
“Come on Sebby, don’t make me drag you there.” At the sound of the nickname, his body shot up.
“I’ve said not to call me that, it makes me feel like a child.” It didn’t shock you that this was the only thing he had said without completely losing to flow of his speech.
“You kind of remind of a child right now. So I think Sebby is quite fitting.” He looked at you for a good minute before the words registered. You watched as he pushed himself up on unsteady feet, his hand reaching up to catch your cheek. Despite his drunken state, his gaze was almost focused as he looked into your eyes. You couldn’t help but stare back, getting momentarily lost in the grey.
“I remind you of a child?” in that moment you thought of him as everything but a child, but you weren’t about to admit it.
“I think it’s time we both go to bed.” You tried to ignore the beating of your heart as you helped him inside, towards the sofa. You tried to let him down as gently as possible, helping him get a little more comfortable before draping a blanket over him. His eyes closed quickly, the alcohol finally getting the best of him.
“Goodnight, Sebastian.”

Anon wrote: Hello! I am an INFJ (26) whose closely followed your blog and continuously use it as a main resource. I’ve started typing people and you have helped me learn so much in such a short time. (Enjoyed MBTI for 7 years or so) I’ve become a typist with an ISFJ and we do it for free and always link you as reference. The information here is stellar!
Fanboying out the way, curious how I could more understand the ESTJ I am getting to know. I’ve been going over foundations for a potential future together and trying to be open and honest as possible. (I’ve learned over the years that keeping things to yourself for the benefit of someone else and that my attachment disorder plays into me not feeling I can ever connect with someone truly.) It’s going extremely well, but I suppose the difference between how we think is apparent. I feel despite our differences, all our values line up and what we want with our future. He’s the most consistent person I’ve ran into but he has some flaws, as we all do. Don’t want to quickly idealize either. I guess the problem is that it is long distance. You have any suggestions on LDR or for our types in this situation?
I also wanted to know if you had more you could provide on Tertiary functions in general. I guess that’s a tad vague, but I noticed there wasn’t too much for SeTe loop. I tried searching through your tags and couldn’t find ESFP specific example. I only came across ENFP. I have huge interest in learning about those who feel opposite to me and meeting someone who happened to be ESTJ. I think that’s exciting since I know challenges can provide growth, which is my goal.
I’m tired of feeling stagnated and I want to change. Dating isn’t my priority, but unexpected things seem to happen. By the way, you’re right. Any type can work if they’re both mature. Not just romantically either. If you ignore this ask, won’t hurt my feelings! Just needed to know you’ve help us, help tons of others introspect and grow. This blog is the best in consistency, information wise. Thank you and hope you continue growing.
-------------------------
Thank you for your appreciative words. I'm glad to know that my blog has been a useful and positive resource for you. As you know, my blog is mainly devoted to self-improvement - the key word being "self". I am careful about the info I provide and how I provide it, because I do not want people to use it for manipulation or to meddle in the lives of others. The Function Theory Guide is meant to be used from the first person perspective. The lack of concrete examples (what you call "vague") is quite intentional because the guide is used for type assessment and my method of assessment requires people to come up with their own concrete examples to prove the type.
With regard to tertiary loop: Te loop is about misusing Te, so the core characteristics of Te loop should be common to both types. The only significant difference between Se-Te and Ne-Te loop is that Se is more likely to choose concrete and/or physical behaviors through which to express the loop. For instance, aggression is a common characteristic of Te loop. Aggression in ENFPs might manifest as socially manipulative tendencies, whereas it might manifest as attempts to exert physical power/domination in ESFPs.
The same cognitive pattern, e.g. aggression, can manifest in a wide variety of possible behaviors, e.g. manipulation, competitiveness, physical violence, ruthless ambition, destructiveness, judgmentalness, etc. Therefore, it isn't practical to try to list ALL of the possible behavioral manifestations. It is better to focus on the core cognitive pattern of aggression.
Yes, there are indeed more questions on my blog from ENFPs than ESFPs. This is because I am N myself, which means my approach to everything is naturally abstract, as I try to strip things down to their essence. This naturally appeals more to Ns than Ss. If you're looking for a different, more concrete approach, then you'll have to find someone else to learn from. There are plenty of personality type forums out there. All you have to do is talk to the ESFPs there about their firsthand experiences.
This brings me to the main point I want to make: The best way to learn about someone is to learn directly from THEM. You being INFJ, it's important that you always ground your knowledge of people in reality. Avoid going too far with generalizations. Everyone is a unique example of their type. While each type has its core cognitive motivations, how a person chooses to express them is dependent on their own unique circumstances. Therefore, knowing someone's type will only help you in relationships up to a certain point. Once you hit that hard ceiling, you have to respect the person's individuality and understand all the things that make them unique.
I don't really have much advice for LDRs. For any relationship to thrive, you have to spend enough quality time together to maintain 1) the feeling of intimacy and 2) the sense of committed investment in each other's lives. What counts as "quality" time differs from couple to couple. It could be as simple as chatting every day and keeping the lines of communication open and flowing. ESTJs love to plan, so it shouldn't be too difficult to schedule quality time together in whatever form you both agree counts as "quality".

Hello! Could I please get a bsd male matchup? I’m an infj, type 2, scorpio. I’m a 5’2 straight female, with long dark brown hair. I’m pretty quiet and reserved around most people but I tend to speak more with fam/friends. Although I’m quiet, if someone hurts me or my fam/friends, I will stand up for them. I’ve been called stubborn and sarcastic haha. I enjoy reading, coffee, yoga, and hanging around the people I love. I’m a very affectionate and cuddly person once I open up. Thanks in advance :)
Tumblr media
Hello there! I know just the person for you!
I'm gonna have to pair you with: Chuuya Nakahara !
Chuuya, at first, would think you were pretty unassuming because you're quiet, but if he sees that you're stubborn and will stand up for yourself and/or your friends/family I think he'd be pretty charmed by you. Also you're shorter than him!!! So that's a win in his book. Might only be by an inch, but it sure does make him happy.
He also would like that you're sarcastic and can relate to being stubborn. Once you get him to actually open up he would definitely love the affection (psst play with his hair, he'll love it).
Now, we know that Chuuya is a Taurus, which when paired with your Scorpio makes actually a very very excellent match despite the signs being opposite in every way. Both Taurus and Scorpio are very physical signs so you two will tend to balance each other out. Both signs value love and life highly and in a way that none of the other signs of the Zodiac tend to understand. The core values of the Taurus and Scorpio are the same even when perspectives differ, so this can bind the two signs together very deeply. With Venus as a ruling planet (which is the planet of love) plus the intensity of the Scorpio's water element, these signs become the very image of immortal, undying, and intense love.
Yes, Taurus and Scorpio are complete opposites. Scorpio is a sign of change, while Taurus prefers to be stuck in their roots as most Earth signs are. But, opposites compliment each other perfectly and both signs can learn very deeply from one another. Scorpio can go very indepth about things that Taurus seems like they wouldn't care about, but they would be surprised to find how kind and tender Taurus's nature actually is. On the flip side, Scorpio would show Taurus how they value life, and Taurus will be amazed at how a sign like Scorpio that's associated with evil, death, and destruction can truly understand and feel the depth and value life and emotions have better than any other sign in the Zodiac.
Enough about Zodiac signs though! (Though I do love talking about them) As a type 2, I think you would get along pretty well with Chuuya. Type 2's basic fears are being unwanted or being unworthy of love and their basic desire is they just want to be loved and take care of. With Chuuya, while he can be busy and work absorbed, he would make sure you never felt unworthy or unwanted. He is naturally a very very caring person. This is evident by him taking care of The Sheep, taking care of Kyuusaku/Q and Elise, as well as pretty much mothering Akutagawa as we've heard in the Port Mafia Onsen CD. He has a very motherly nature and wants to take care of others. I definitely think he would make a great father.
Chuuya on the other hand is a type 6 with a wing of 7. His basic fear is losing his support system. This is why he tends to not get close to people, as he's been subject to his fear multiple times, Dazai betraying the Mafia, The Sheep betraying him, Ango betraying the Mafia, having to watch his men and friends die as a result of The Guild via Kyuusaku's power or because of Shibusawa. Chuuya has been through the wringer, dude. However, 6w7 types desire is to feel safe and supported, which generally comes off as them being loving and supportive to other people, as I have described above. They honor their commitments, like Chuuya did with Ango in Dead Apple, and are very loyal to their friends as we see with how Chuuya interacts with the Mafia members. Above all, Chuuya is gonna value trust and reliability in his relationships.
As for your MBTI, Chuuya is definitely an ESTP, with you being an INFJ, this again, makes you complete opposites. But as I said with Zodiac signs, opposites are truly good in a relationship because the two individuals learn from each other and they build off of their differences. Chuuya can show you how to be more loud and proud while you can show him how to kind of mellow out. As an NF you're going to want to connect to people on a deeper level, while an SP like Chuuya is going to want to live in the moment. INFJs are very sensitive and keep their heads in the clouds and their hearts on their sleeves. ESTP live in the now, going from one thing to another, and get things done. They're also realists and will help to ground you. They have higher energy levels than you and are very spontaneous, which will bring you out of your comfort zone. All in all, very good relationship.
For your interests, Chuuya TOTALLY does yoga, like how would he stay that flexible otherwise? You guys will totally do yoga together. He can show you some more advanced mores and help guide you into them as well! Overall, I think you would help Chuuya learn how to stop and smell the roses and enjoy life for what it is, because not every day is a matter of life and death. There's definitely going to be some challenges in the relationship as you're pretty much polar opposites with only a key few similarities, but I truly think you two would learn from each other and build a very healthy and happy, lasting relationship.

Hi! Can I request for a matchup please? 💕
Appearance: 5’1, chubby girl with long dark brown hair and dark brown eyes with glasses
Personality: ISFP, Aries, 2w1 (enneagram), people describe me as a kind, honest and smart person. I’m also chill, sensitive, a lil’ outgoing, responsible and I also consider myself as a mom friend though I can be chaotic when I want to be. I’m pretty shy and aloof to people I don’t know, but once I get to know you, you’ll be seeing a very chatty girl that doesn’t mind saying what’s on her mind. I also tend to hide how I really feel so that I don’t worry other (I’m trying my best to be more open). Even though I’m a little outgoing, I still need my alone time and privacy.
Interests: I really have a interest for the arts, I just love seeing it since it inspires me when it comes drawing and make me want to become an interior designer when I grow up. I also have an interest for Astrology and MBTI since it helps me find out more about myself.
Hobbies: I love drawing, playing video games, listening to music and I currently want to try to learn a new language. I also have a dream journal where I write down my dreams as well as it also helps me practice my writing skills and handwriting. I also love exploring and discovering new things everday.
What I desire from a person: Someone who can help me speak up for myself since I got bullied in the past, someone who I can just enjoy with in silence whether it be relaxing and doing nothing or doing a fun activity, someone who loves cuddles and affection, someone who won’t judge me since I’m insecure about my appearance, someone who isn’t strict, and someone who is loyal (I have a fear of being abandoned and unwanted)
What do I give: I give kindness, honesty, hugs, love, affection, loyalty, space if they want to be alone and a shoulder to cry on.
And this is optional my favorites are Belphie and Satan. Thank you! 💕
----------
Hello love!! 💕
Thank you for sending in a request!! 
oh it’s nice that you mention that you like Satan a lot because he was the one who came to my mind first! (then I was thinking a bit about Simeon) 
So i decided to match you with Satan! 
Here is why: 
Okay so Satan values personality much more than appearance so he would definitely help you come to terms with your insecurities. Like why care so much about your looks when you fall in love with personality. beauty is fleeting anyway. 
Also he is the avatar of wrath, if you want vengeance he is your man
I think out of the bunch he is the most focused on personality and spiritualism, self, etc., his reasons for that are his circumstances of birth. That is something he is rather insecure about, so having someone who can understand him and guide him a bit is appreciated! (you also mention that you are smart and honest so thats why)
I think you being a responsible mom friend is something he would like a lot, I mean he can be rather messy at times! Sure you don’t have to worry about him being responsible, but sometimes he can be a bit stuck in his own world, you know? The fact that you are chaotic sometimes isn’t bad at all, I mean he gets along really well with Asmo and sometimes we forget how chaotic he is. So your chaotic tendencies go well with Satan! 
In addition to all this, Satan is the best when it comes to reading people so he would quickly understand that your aloof facade is not your only side. He would be very curious to get to know your more chatty side, and as I said that would balance out the relationship well! He gossips a lot with Asmo, so you’d be able to join their conversations! 
Again, he is good at reading you after you spend a bit of time with him, so your hidden feelings wouldn’t go unnoticed. I think he is a very good candidate when it comes to open communication, so expect him to talk with you about your troubles. You can’t really avoid that from happening as he catches on early on the slightest changes in your behaviour. 
He is not too outgoing either and just like you he likes a partner who can do their independent thing while he does the same too. For example while he is reading or studying you write. 
Okay so I think he needs an interior designer in his life asap. Please find ways for him to keep his books because it’s a mess.
He is also an intellectual person so daates would include going to art galeries! bookshops! stargazing! He is proud of his knowledge on many things, so he would be able to tell you something new every day! 
I think he would encourge your writing a lot! 
He is not really known to be the most affectionate, but i’m sure he appreciates all the attention you give him!

backstory.
leopold  james  sinclair  ii ,  named  after  his  grandfather ,  is  the  youngest  of  the  sinclair  children ,  and  to  say  he  was  born  with  a  silver  spoon  in  his  mouth  would  be  an  understatement .  from  day  one ,  leo  had  everything  he  could  possibly  want  handed  to  him ;  but  maybe  not  everything  he  needed .
the  boy  was  only  two  months  old  when  the  sinclair  mother  abandoned  the  family .  leo  has  no  recollection  of  the  woman  but  her  actions  caused  him  to  grow  up  expecting  people  to  leave  and  needing  constant  reassurance  from  those  he  cares  about .  though  he  wouldn’t  admit  to  any  of  that . 
from  a  young  age  it  became  clear  that  leo  wasn’t  like  the  rest ,  learning  things  much  faster  than  the  rest  of  his  classmates .  one  test  and  it  was  proven  what  his  teachers  already  knew :  a  genius  iq .  the  decision  was  made  not  to  have  him  skip  grade  and  instead  his  school  worked  on  activities  to  fit  his  needs .
as  a  restless  and  active  young  boy ,  he  needed  constant  stimulus  both  mentally  and  physically  to  avoid  boredom  and  the  trouble  that  always  come  with  that .  and  even  with  a  full  day  of  tinkering  with  computers ,  playing  sports  and  being  out  with  his  friends ,  leo  still  constantly  got  himself  into  mischief . 
he  skipped  8th  grade  and  went  straight  to  high  school  and  took  his  place  with  the  popular  crowd .  he  was  in  the  football  team  ( quarterback ) ,  the  basketball  team  (  shooting  guard ) ,  and  the  baseball  team  ( pitcher ) ,  and  his  weekends  were  spent  getting  drunk  or  high  or  both  at  some  party  with  his  friends .
leo  graduated  top  of  his  classes  and  out  of  a  pile  of  college  acceptance  letters  he  decided  to  stay  in  hillston .  he’s  currently  in  his  second  year  there  pursuing  a  double  major ,  studying  mechanical  engineering  and  electrical  engineering  &  computer  science .  he  is  also  the  quarterback  for  powell  university’s  football  team .  his  weekends  are  still  spent  just  like  he  did  in  high  school . 
one  of  those  nights  ended  with  leo  waking  up  next  to  his  best  friend ,  scarlet  rhodes .  a  couple  months  later  she  came  with  the  news  that  she  was  pregnant .  it ,  of  course ,  shock  and  terrified him .  their  daughter ,  natalia ,  is  now  three  months  old  and  without  a  doubt  the  most  important  person  in  his  life .  
that ,  of  course ,  wasn’t  the  only  night  where  his  usual  recklessness  resulted  in  something  unexpected .  a  few  months  ago ,  while  on  his  way  home  from  a  party  and  heavily  intoxicated ,  he  was  involved  in  an  accident  and  instead  of  sticking  around  to  see  what  had  happened  he  simply  kept  driving . 
it  turns  out ,  the  person  in  the  other  car  was  injured ,  but  leo  never  had  to  worry  about  it  because ,  like  it  happens  every  time  he  gets  himself  into  real  trouble ,  money  and  power  made  it  all  disappear .  he  has  wondered  about  it  a  few  times  but  mostly  prefers  to  pretend  it  never  happened .
right  now ,  leo  is  simply  living  his  life  the  way  he  wants .  he  works  hard  when  he’s  in  school  and  parties  even  harder  when  he’s  not  there .  and ,  of  course ,  he’s  still  trying  to  get  the  hang  of  this  fatherhood  thing .
personality.
leo  is  an  extrovert .  he  likes  being  around  people  and  thrives  when  the  attention is  on  him .  and  when  it  isn’t  on  him  he  will  do  his  best  to  make  sure  that  changes  as  fast  as  possible .  he  has  a  magnetic  personality  that  draws  people  in  and  a  love  for  life  and  fun  that  makes  them  stick  around .
he  exudes  confidence .  he  is  rich ,  good  looking  and  brilliant ;  he  knows  it  and  acts  accordingly .  but  deep  within  he  holds  some  self - esteem  issues  that  stem  from  thinking  he’s  the  reason  his  mother  left .  and  with  that  comes  an  undying  need  to  always  be  the  best  at  everything  he  does .  to  prove  his  worth . 
he  is  very  spoiled  and  used  to  getting  things  his  way .  materialistic  and  incredibly  self - indulgent .  he  doesn’t  think  twice  before  dropping  thousands  of  dollars  in  a  night  out  with  his  friends  or  buying  a  new  five  figure  watch .  he  has  never  in  his  life  had  to  worry  about  number  in  a  price  tag .
extremely  reckless ,  it’s  very  rare  that  he  will  think  before  doing  something .  he’s  guided  by  his  desires  and  has  an  hedonistic  approach  to  life .  he  will  do  just  about  anything  for  he  thrill  and  for  fun .  regrets  happen ,  but  they  don’t  stop  him  from  doing  something  stupid  again  and  be  unapologetic  about  it .
for  as  outgoing  as  he  is ,  leo  keeps  a  lot  to  himself .  when  it  comes  to  his  deepest  fears  and  doubts  he  would  never  voice  them  up .  he  likes  the  idea  of  people  thinking  that  he  has  a  perfect  life  and  that  nothing  bothers  him ,  and  he  lets  himself  buy  into  that  idea  too ,  ignoring  and  bottling  things  up .
he  also  has  a  problem  with  emotional  intimacy .  he  doesn’t  like  the  idea  of  people  getting  too  close  and  knowing  him  well  enough  to  see  it  through  his  lies  and  insincere  smiles .  and ,  of  course ,  he’s  also  constantly afraid  that  he’ll  let  people  in  and  get  attached  only  for  them  to  leave  him .
that  has  also  made  it  impossible  for  any  of  his  past  relationships  to  last  for  very  long  or  mean  too much  for  him .  he’s  slept  with  more  people  than  he  could  probably  remember  and  the  idea  of  commitment  is  enough  to  send  him  running .  not  the  kind  of  guy  to  call  the  next  day  unless  he  wants  seconds .
he  is  an  amazing  friend  to  those  that  have  managed  to  get  close  and  break  his  walls ,  though .  ready  to  help  with  whatever  and  whenever  and  protective  too .  his  family  is  extremely  important  for  him  and  he  doesn’t  take  well  to  people  saying  anything  bad  about  any  of  them . 
wanted connections.
for  full  wanted  connections  go  HERE  !
squad :  rich  kids  doing  terrible  things  together .
brotp : someone  who  knows  the  ins  and  outs  of  leo .
teammates : he  is  the  quarterback  of  powell  university’s  football  team .
good  influence :  an  angel  on  his  shoulder  when  he’s  being  his  little  shit  self .
yin  and  young :  someone  who  is  completely  different  and  they  balance  each  other .
friend  turned  enemy :  they  used  to  be  close  friends ,  but  that  changed  when  the  two  got  into  a  fight  over  something  we  can  plot .
mutual  annoyance :  these  two  just  can’t  stand  each  other ,  and  it  has  been  like  that  for  as  long  as  they  can  remember .

*   WEBSITES  FOR  CHARACTER  PERSONALITY  BUILDING  :  A  HELPFUL  MASTERLIST  .
if  you’re  a  sucker  for  deeply  developing  and  building  a  character’s personality ,  and  in  need  of  websites  that  help  you  to  do  just  that , then you’ve  come  to  the  right  post .  after  an  anon  suggested  i  do  a  masterlist  of  character  building  websites  , i  couldn’t  help  but  list  a  few that  i’ve  gathered  over  the  years  which  usually  help  me  get  a  better  grip on  my  muse :  from  general  personality  trait  help  to  further  things  like  astrology  signs ,  lateralisation  tests , and  fun  things  like  house  sorting . give  a  like  or  a  reblog  if  this  helped  you  in  any  way ,  or  if  you somehow  use  it  in  your  own  character  building  .  happy  writing  !
Tumblr media
ZODIAC SIGN .     if you’re into astrology like me and think it plays a key part in your character’s development , then this website is my to - go - to . it not only gives you personality traits that are commonly associated with each sign , but deeply explains the positives and negatives for each too , further including planetary alignment narration which can often confuse people without explanation as to what they are . this website also delves into native american  , celtic zodiac signs and chinese zodiac / animal types too if that’s of any help to you  . 
MYERS-BRIGGS PERSONALITY TEST  .     pretty much the most well known character building quiz loved by rpc and locals alike , but i couldn’t leave it out , because a lot of the time i’m always confused by whether my characters are introverted or extroverted  .  the thing that helps me the most is how it gives a handy list of traits sectioned off by personality type ,  however , perhaps the most useful thing they include is explaining how certain personality types interact with family and friends , take to work situations or a romantic endeavour , which sets a good foundation for any roleplay setting wherein you’ll be making such connections with others .
FOUR TEMPERAMENTS  .     the  og  mbti  test  .  the four temperaments trace  back  to  ancient greek pyscian aelius galenus  who  defined  personality  traits  by observing  illness’  taking  a  tole  on  the  body  and noting  how  his  patients  reacted  .  sanguine , choleric , melancholic and phlegmatic are the four outcomes , though the mbti type test does go into a more thorough explanation , the four temperaments is more straight forward quiz , definitely showing the core beliefs of a character that can help you with displaying the true colours shown if a more vulnerable side of them was disclosed .
HOGWARTS HOUSE  .     most people can tell from the outset what house a character would be sorted into , but i love doing this just because it’s fun . of course the most  , but who actually wants to make multiple pottermore accounts for each oc ? ? not me . this website is the closest thing to an actual decent sorting quiz which mirrors that of pottermore’s own sorting , and also includes patronus and wand quizzes if you’re that way inclined . the explanations of them are pretty interesting if you read through them  !
BRAIN LATERALIZATION TEST  .     again  ,  another test that might only appeal to you if you’re stuck on distinguishing a certain oc’s characteristics . personally this helps me to get into the thoughts and actions that might separate an analytical , logical person from a creative , intuitive person  , which  might  be  useful  since  generally  we  are  all  one  or  the  other. 
SOUL TYPE  .     a more relaxed approach to personality tests , this time based on spirituality and a life’s purpose . usually ties in with a person’s occupation , according to the website , something they’re on a certain path just destined to be doing . similar to this quiz , which is pretty much the same sort of concept , just in a tl;dr version .  
ALIGNMENT  .     the meme originator  !  personally a favourite of mine , because unlike most websites ,  it helps me personally to make my characters multi - faceted , and shows how people who are ‘good’ can also have flaws that in turn make them just as bad as the ‘evil’ alignments .  each of the said alignments can represent a broad range personal philosophies, so two characters of the same alignment can still be quite different from each other .
DARK TRIAD  .     a quiz that sorts a muse into three main personality traits (  machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy  )  all of which have a malevolent connotation . not to be interpreted literally if your muse isn’t inherently evil , but is definitely interesting to note since i used to find myself shying away from giving characters negative flaws . obviously can be utilised more literally to an every day personality guide if you’re playing a villain or a flaming -dumpster - trash - esque character . 
LIFE PATH NUMBER  .     a numerology test that believes it can show a person’s skills  and the best chosen occupation based off of the month , day and year you were born . mostly gives me ideas for hobbies and potential occupations for a muse , but can help me to decide sometimes if my character’s said birth month is accurate . 9 times out of 10 it is eerily accurate for almost all of my muses  !
ROSENBERG SELF ESTEEM SCALE .     this handy test is designed to evaluate a person’s general level of self-esteem , perception of their self image , both internally and externally . again it’s helpful for making a muse a little more vulnerable ,  or to show how inflated their ego may be .
