January 17, 2024!

It's not an easy feat, packing your entire life in few bags and leaving behind the only home you have known. Especially for someone like me, who have never left home for hostel or anything. But sometimes, leaving is necessary for growth. I need to get out of my comfort zone, then only I can achieve my true potential and know what I am actually capable of.

What a relief it was to finally reach Delhi after about two days of journey!

First the Rajdhani, we were supposed to travel in, got cancelled. Then, we booked tatkal tickets on another train, but it got delayed for 12 hours. When we reached Cuttack station to board that train, we found out the train hadn't even started from Puri, its destination station. We had to wait for another 4 hours before we could actually board the train and start our journey. And after spending about 36 hours on the train, we reached our destination.

But our journey didn't end there, as we had to travel to my sister's house in Panipat. After spending 3 more hours on the bus, we finally reached the warmth of home.

"I want to taste and glory in each day, and never be afraid to experience pain; and never shut myself up in a numb core of non-feeling, or stop questioning and criticising life and take the easy way out. To learn and think; to think and live; to live and learn; this always, with new insight, new understanding, new love."

~ Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath (6th Jan. 1953)

10 years, 10 stories

2024 is my 10th year on ao3. i’ve been writing for a lot longer than that and have had some years where i didn’t write anything at all. in a way ao3 is like a timeline for me or a diary, i can track my adult life with it. i wanted to pull like 10 stories that i’ve written over the course of these past 10 years that i think kinda define me

1. fantasy and fallacy (young justice/dc)

this isn’t my most popular young justice fic but it is my favorite. i wrote it a long long time ago and copied it into ao3 when i first got my account. looking back on it now it’s when i started developing what i think is now my true writing voice, focus on emotions and atmosphere rather than dialogue or plot strictly speaking

2. runner (assassin’s creed)

this is the first thing i wrote that felt experimental, free form before i understood what that really meant. i write like this all the time now and love it, but it felt really novel to me at the time

3. lucky one (avatar/legend of korra)

i’m still proud of this fic, i always remember the feeling i had writing it, how i was exploring something really emotional and strange. it’s about the relationship between siblings, jealousy, maybe even hatred. i have a complicated relationship with my own siblings and this story helped me untangle some of the feelings back when i was in the middle of it

4. heretic (bg3)

this story connects a lot of my favorite things about my writing—religious themes, selfish and power hungry characters, flowing and rhythmic prose, it feels like one of The stories for me tbh

5. self aware (mass effect)

i think this is my most important story because i wrote it after a 6 year writing break, when i had completely given up on ever writing anything again. i had just had my baby, i was fighting for my life with post partum depression, covid etc, it felt like the world was ending. so i wrote this and in some ways it fixed me, it fixed everything

6. butterflies (dragon age)

i’ve written so many dragon age fics but this one is important because it was my first multichap ever! i realize now i like these short multichaps where each chapter has its own theme (usually the chapter title) and now i do this all the time but butterflies was the first

7. real world (stardew valley)

not sure where this one came from lol i have a lot of feelings about being a parent, about the life i chose when i became a parent, how tiring it is, how unprepared i was even though i wanted it, all of that is distilled into this fic that i very much wrote for myself

8. starry-eyed (bg3)

i like to read poetry but haven’t written any before, so i try to infuse my writing with the rhythmic style i like to see in poetry. starry-eyed feels like it hit that rhythm i look for while still holding onto some semblance of plot lol i’m very proud of it

9. the fall (hades)

weird writing, allegory, symbolism, mythology, these are my favorite things to read and it just so happens the bible is full of that lol so i rewrote lucifer’s fall as a short thanzag fic and rereading it now feels so natural, i feel like i was born to write like this

10. glass slipper (classics)

i usually prewrite an entire story before posting it. for this one, i had about half down and a vague outline for the rest and it was an experiment kind of, to post and just go with the flow, and it worked, i didn’t abandon it, i felt connected to it the whole time while people read and liked it, and now i feel like i trust myself more as a writer tbh

↳ the sub-group archetype of the sentinels

ISFJ ⟶ introverted sensing, extroverted feeling, introverted thinking and extroverted intuition.

breaking down the archetype ⬎

♇ the archetype is made up of Si Fe Ti and Ne.

I = introversion.

S = sensing.

F = feeling.

J = judging.

♇ the first two functions that determine the ISFJ TYPE CODE ⬎

Si Fe Ti Ne.

♇ the Si and Fe within the ISFJ function makes up for the two missing letters in the type code: I _ _ J because the two missing letters in the middle are the first two functions!

♇ the Si is the _ S _ _ because it is about introverted sensing.

♇ the Fe is the _ _ F _ because it is about extroverted feeling.

but what makes up the first letter in the code?

♇ what makes up for the first letter in the code is the second letter to the strongest function for the archetype. and the strongest function for ISFJ is Si and evidently the second letter is “I” which causes the function to now become from _ S F _ to I S F _ .

♇ but what makes up the last letter in the code?

♇ you’ll have to look back at the first extroverted function in the entire code. and for ISFJ it is ⟶ Si Fe Ti Ne. the first extroverted function in the type is Fe, which is extroverted feeling.

♇ Fe belongs to the judging function which displays the fact that the last letter to I S F _ will be I S F J.

explaining the archetype ⬎

♇ those who belong to the ISFJ archetype are people who could be deemed to be compassionate, loyal and devoted people. beings who are responsible and display themselves to be down-to-earth.

♇ though they could have a trait of wanting to feel like they're needed by others. a good trait of an ISFJ archetype is that they are people who have good memory and are people who like to learn new things. and when they're learning new things they like it when the information they take in is clear and thorough.

♇ ISFJ's are conservative/modest people, they like to do things the classic way and they like to be hard-working. the people can be supportive, sympathetic and have a trait of being perceptive and tactful. they are protective over the people they care about and people who are around ISFJ's believe they can usually count on them, since they are people who know how to handle tasks.

♇ though when it comes to expressing their feelings, they can be people who hold in their thoughts, they could have a dislike with sharing their feelings with other people, but even though on the outside they might appear as people who dont feel much. internally, ISFJ's feel very intensely.

♇ they are people who might find it easy to relate to people, even if they might not be the most emotionally expressive person, they have logic and common sense, and can easily sympathise with others.

♇ ISFJ's are practical people and have practical values, they are natural at handling details and they are people who appreciate the lessons life has to give. these people are prudent and dutiful but can be too dependent and reliant on other people.

♇ on the other hand, they can have the "negative" traits of being people who can be adamant and can view the world as black and white. though ISFJ's who are healthy can be experts with following through directions and plans.

ISFJ'S AUXILIARY ⟶ FE. [AUXILIARY HELPS GROWTH/HEALTHY OR DEVELOPED ISFJ'S] ⬎

♇ healthy ISFJ's are people who are caring and compassionate, being individuals others can trust and others can think of them to be people who are noble and very giving.

♇ healthy ISFJ's respect the space and boundaries of other people, and they can easily adapt to social situations/atmospheres. they can be people who can easily read through other people, the type to understand body language easily as they are individuals who have understanding of life and people.

IMMATURE AUXILIARY ⟶ FE. ⬎

♇ unhealthy ISFJ's can be people who care about what others think about too much, which leads them into having a fear of being judged by other people.

♇ underdeveloped ISFJ's are people who lack emotional boundaries, and are people who change themselves to fit people's standards, they can be a big people pleaser. and even though they're people who fear of judgement, they judge other people quickly.

WHEN ISFJ'S BEHAVE INHIBITED ⬎

⟶ TERTIARY TI LOOP

♇ they're people who can be perceived as naive, when they behave out of character, they can become people who dont realise unhealthy routines lead to a bad circumstance. they think they are self-aware, but they're not, especially when it comes to their own emotions, they over-think, but wont trust the guide and judgement of other people but only their own.

♇ though, they might blame other people aside from looking within, they are the type to not look at their own accountability.

♇ underdeveloped ISFJ's are the type to claim they are being true to themselves, but when it comes to peer pressure, they're easily moved by it. and when other people try to give them good critique, they would project their feelings onto other people. they can also become very combative and use smart words to make themselves feel superior, or to make other feel like they're dumb, it's like a performative intelligence.

♇ the type to give to complain about others without any proper reason.

INFERIOR NE GRIP ⬎

♇ they can become people who are very paranoid and on edge, and due to this, they become restless and even somewhat obsessive. bringing out a side to them that is insecure and troubled.

♇ they can be people who are irresponsible, and can be considered as unique with how unpredictable and erratic they can be. and when unhealthy, ISFJ's can be perceived as people who say and do damaging things.

♇ as i have implied before, they are over-thinkers, and this could lead to them thinking of hypothetical situations, which then leads them onto being unsure people and as a person who is anxious about their future.

♇ this inferior ne grip can give them the traits of being someone who has their spirits easily crushed. though, when they don't have their spirits crushed, they are people who have really good ideas, but they might not know how to execute them properly.
