Moon Dong-eun

I drove back to Semyeong after meeting with Y/N. I had to get some of the things done before I go back to Seoul to tutor her niece. I parked my car in the parking lot where Hyeon-nam, an assistant I hired, was supposed to meet me.

        Months ago, before I met Y/N, I was outside the Semyeong Foundation’s chairman’s house where I was busy rummaging through his garbage to find some disposed documents I needed to get into the Semyeong Elementary School, that’s when I met Hyeon-nam. She told me that she worked for the chairman and that, she threatened me she will report me to him if I didn’t give her those documents back, but soon that idea was dismissed. Instead, we made a deal. In exchange of her helping me with my plans, I am to kill her abusive husband.

        This is where I found the opportunity to make her my assistant. Ever since then, she’s been doing each and every task perfectly without getting caught. We both decided to meet at an empty parking lot at the end of the day, only to not be suspected. She would get inside my car and leave behind some documents and photographs I order her to gather. She is the reason I was able to apply for the homeroom teacher’s job.

        Few weeks after meeting her, I told her to drive to Seoul and get me some info on Y/N. I always had my mind made up to execute my plans alone. No, am not scared of them. But as more number of people I get by my side, the easier it would be for me.

        Since she couldn’t afford a car for herself, I had a black sedan bought under my name and let her borrow it. Before doing so, she took driving lessons for a month. After getting her license, she tracked down the chairman and got me all the information I needed. She is exceptionally good at her job, most probably loyal too.

        “But what about the toll booths? Won’t they charge me?”

        “Don’t worry, this car is under my name. And anyways I have a tag attached to the windscreen, so it will get paid easily and you have nothing to worry about,” I point at the top right corner of the screen.   

        “Alright ma'am.”

        “Make sure you get all the proper information and take necessary pictures. I need to know everything, I mean everything. The place where she lives, the job she works at, whether she lives alone, everything.”

        “Yes ma'am.”

        I had a picture of Y/N from when we both studied at the Sung-han High school. As far as I remember, both of us left the school mid-year. She had the advantage of using her step-father’s money to change schools mid-year, while I had to dropout. Before she encountered those leeches, she had quite many friends, and so did I, but I was closest to Gyeong-ran. We were inseparable, until I became a target to them. Ever since then, she didn’t even bother to take a stand for me, help me, nor even look at me. She behaved as if I didn’t even exist. It was the same for Y/N as well. In fact, no students nor teachers helped us out. Except, we had a school nurse who really looked out for us. She even took pictures of our injuries to use it against the person who was behind this (she didn’t know it was Yeon-jin back then). Unfortunately, she left the school after she found out it was her. On the bright side, I didn’t lose those pictures. I have plans to use these against them in the future.

        Hyeon-nam got back few days after I sent her to Seoul. I told her I would take care of her husband Seok-jae and her daughter Sun-a while she was away with the excuse that the chairman sent her to Seoul for a few days for some work in order to get paid more. They undoubtedly got easily convinced. At first, she was scared that he might abuse her daughter since she would be away for a few days. I managed that as well as I sent quite a lot of money to Seok-jae through Sun-A to get him more occupied with gambling. With that, he didn’t even bother to touch Sun-A. I am still waiting for the right time to get rid of him from their lives forever.

        “I got everything you asked for,” she said as she hands out a transparent file to me. Few of the contents fall onto my lap from the folder. I raise my hand to halt her from collecting them.

        “That’s the apartment she lives in,” she points out to the picture I was holding. “And this is a fast food restaurant where she works,” she hands me out another photo. “I also found that to afford her university funds, she also did a babysitting job few years ago.”

        “Which university did she go to?”

        “The Seoul Womens’ University. She was majoring in Data Science.”

        “Wait, she did a job before working at the fast food restaurant for her college funds? Didn’t her mother send her the money though?”

        “Yes, because her mom thought she was grown up enough to afford her own bills so that’s why, she stopped depositing money into her account.”

        “Also why couldn’t she afford a cell-phone for herself when she was still at school? I mean, her mother didn’t stop sending her the money back then?”

        “Her mother simply said not to buy herself any phones, because if she did, she would stop depositing her any necessary amount Y/N might have needed.”

        “They lived separately yet controlled her life, told her to do what she was told, classic parenting,” I said.

        “You’re saying that she majored in data science. We have quite many reputable companies in South Korea that hire students who major in this. Then how come she began working in a fast food restaurant?”

        “Well, the university she graduated from isn’t very well known. And that’s why, companies rarely recruit anyone from there.”

        “I see,” I nod my head in agreement.

        “Also there’s nothing really comfy about the apartment she lives in, nor the job she works at,” I said after I handed over the pictures to her. “Did you get to know anything about the school Min-hee attends?”

        “Nothing much, it’s just that it’s very cheap,” she hands out an advertisement pamphlet of that school. “It’s a nursery school after all, so I couldn’t find much about it.”

        “Okay,” I place the pamphlet on the dashboard.

        I released the seatbelt and it slid up behind me. I looked out at the mist outside as it made the whole parking lot partially visible. The streetlights lip up the mist like a halo as if some smoke passed through it. Far out beyond the highways, I could see the glowing blue Jaepyeong Construction logo at the top of the building.

        “Alright then, you’ve done enough as for now. Make a few copies and give them to me the next time we meet.”

        “Why can’t I mail these to you-“

        “No. Someone might find out about us. So just do as I say.”

        “Alright. Good night ma'am.”

        “Drive off before I leave.”

        I got out of her car to step outside and close the door behind me as I walk towards my car. As I get in, Hyeon-nam turns off the light inside and drives off. I turn the key in my ignition and the headlights turn on to make a bright glow on the wall opposite to my car.

        I steer my car towards the exit and enter the highway. Am not going home yet. I will visit Y/N after a few days. I have another job to do for now. I drive to the place where elders play a board game called Go. Quite an interesting game. One of my acquaintances taught me how to play it while I was still enrolled in Euicheon. It’s a game of who occupies the largest territory, wins the game.

        The place where the elders gather to play Go is where Ha Do-Yeong goes to after finishing his work. Go seems like a favorite game of his. That’s where am going to. My plan is to intrigue him through my Go skills and make him fall right into my trap. He’s the key who will lead me to Yeon-jin, his beloved wife, a monster.

*throws the entire canon jimmy mouthwashing lore for you to read then leaves*

Here's what the actual jimbus nimbus the III did

IMPLIED ABUSE. (Can be interpreted as SA or Phisical Abuse)

.

.

.

.

(Oh my god Jimenez Lore drop? 👀)

Hi! Im the OP once more, and here's a little secret about me, more than an artist, im a medical student with the focus of becoming a psychiatrist and a psychoanalist. anyway here is a little something: Mentions of Abuse, under the cut and a little personal rant if you dont want to read you dont have to.

A lot that the Psychoanalists of Freud and Jung talk about is the co-relation of the bad parenting to ones trauma in development, if you were Abused as a child theres a higher possibility of you growing to be an Abuser as an adult, if you have been thought that your values as a person is defined by a certain something as a child there's a higher possibility of you believing that to your adulthood and that's what im going here about.

For the ones who dont know, i have a comic strip that works for Canon Jimmy and the tulpar crew, where the topics of Mental Health will also be aborded. more info about it on @analgesic-comic

Now a bit of a Personal talk, i know some people are getting mad that jimmy on this au hast done anything big assholish to anyone yet and that he hadnt r**ed anya and that its "out of character". But i will be honest, i made this for me to draw some silly goofy stuff, while i take breaks from my comic, my comic has a lot of heavy writing envolved and doesn't give much space for jokes, there's funny stuff here and there but still all of it is pretty heavy because its based of a psychological horror. So i made this Ask blog that aint even in the future. It's in the present to be able to draw the characters and get my mind out of some stuff.

I love drawing jimmy because i love his design, and i love drawing all the characters, but if every drawing i made of them was strictly related to canon i would never bring myself to draw any stupid stuff because my autistic brain would ran me on the "Oh no they wouldn't do that because jimmy is there, jimmy and curly are the only ones you can draw together because curly is the only one who turns a blind eye to jimmys actions"

On the ask blog, Jimmy keeps his personality, but he is getting MENTAL TREATMENT that is making him a little less insuferable, of all the answers most of them there's scenes of him trying to gaslight curly or being mean to someone so i think i madd quite clear he is not healed, i just made him not be a criminal.

I think the one who pushed her is Jung Won Bin. He was the one that suggested taking a photo and he was trying to always stand on the back. While she is pushed Park Do Jae seems to be trying to keep the other people from invading Sa Eon's space. And when the other person from Sa Eon's team is saying somebody fell, he was next to the railing. His jacket also has black on the sleeves.

I do think Park Do Jae knows more than he lets on, but I don't think he is on the kidnapper&co's side.

[sniffanimal]

Shallan and her stand 『PATTERN』 for my JJBA!SA au ;3; Tag for this on my blog here | tip jar/requests here Design notes below!

First, Pattern, a canon design so baller we spun it off Unchanged! Forreal though, his suit is designed after a wool runway suit I saw, I just made it look folded from paper instead. Also the model was in tights but I spared you from looking at Pattern's salad fingers-ass feet and legs. I don't really think the spinning pattern cryptic head is 100% fitting in JJBA's character design styles, but I think there's precedent for shapeshifting so why not!

Shallan, being Lighteyed, gets a far more modern/pop-y/cute design than Kaladin did (his being more utilitarian). I was thinking about how Jolyne, Foo Fighters, and some of the other jojo women look, notably things like exposed midriff, painted lips, and overalls. I know Early Canon shallan is a lot more modest and reserved, So maybe in TWOK-era she has her straps up and her sleeves pulled down over her fingertips on her safehand ok, but maybe during WOR and onwards she slips a bit lol. She's got big clunky boots on under the pant legs but the pant legs are big floor dragging bell bottoms. I LOVE the Y2K-ish lightweaver symbol I put on her shirt (it looks like a heart or a butterfly so. added heart and butterfly), and echoed it on the pants. The model I was looking at just had buttons on the shirt, but I switched it to frog clasps to look a little more Vorin fashion-y. For her body itself, I always draw shallan with twin buns and still a lot of hair left to go, thinking kinda along the lines of Disney's Merida or something with copious amounts of hair, though less curly. I also decided to give it some color depth to it and go more auburn to ginger versus scarlet or full ginger. Lastly I based her general appearance off the Korean model Jung Ho Yeon, who has also modeled with red hair sometimes! Very Shallan to me!

I'm thinking the setting is going to fall on a Roshar that's in a vaguely turn of the millennium (on earth) situation. Most of the tech is still fabrial based, but it's all kinda like what you'd see in the late 90s or something. Maybe closer to the 70s/80s actually since I don't think they quite have computers as commonplace. Navani gets one. Shallan does have a Mobile Spanreed, which is kind of like an ipad but with a magnadoodle-type board (or boogie board) for a screen and a ring with up to 10 paired other Mobile Spanreeds that you can communicate with. It's very modern and very convenient. No need for paper! And you can have them paired with many other boards! Shallan likes to draw on hers when she's not actively communicating with people, of course.

I'm getting ahead of myself. Shallan is struck by part of the Arrow by Kabsal, who was planning on recruiting her into his organization before he died. He tells them as much on his deathbed. She manifests Pattern as part of that, and identifying her as a Stand User, Jasnah and Ivory take her under their tutelage, not knowing that Shallan was actually able to use Pattern since she was a child.

Posting this here for the sole reason for maybe someone will write this au before I am forced to by sheer peer pressure alone.

Anyway so idol au for hunters gonna lay low time. (Someone please write this I'm already too swamped in aus)

(will probably write this au anyway but as one shots of different scenes but I DIGRESS-)

So anyway idol au right? Cej debuted as an idol and his stage name was J, he was so popular because he always wore a mask as an idol which added this mysteriousness to him that everyone fucked with hard. This led to a trend of idols debuting with masks. He just wanted privacy.

So then flash forward three years after debut, his aunt gets sick, dies, he maybe gets injured, maybe gets sick, went to military service for a few years, had a midlife crisis, anything to fill in eight years, the aunt totally did die tho.

So like during those eight years he didn't keep up with idol culture and he was kept signed to his company without dissolving the contract (totally not legal btw, we ignore these things) in that time a new number one pop idol has come about, Lee Sa Young.

He comes to know of Lee Sa Young because when he first visited the hangover soup restaurant (yes that STAYS dammit) a new segment covering the tribute show lsy performed for J was playing.

Anyway so in this au lsy was a child dying from cancer that cej visited as J for idol promotion stuff but when he learned lsy didn't have any close relatives or anyone visiting, he would visit and even have a portion of his income to pay for lsy treatments. So then lsy gets better, debuts under the pado agency and he's the idol that gets them on the map. lsy is a solo idol with bww as his manager. BWW ONLY manages lsy. That's how much of a pr nightmare he is everyday.

Well anyway without j who was their only big star, his company went under and got bought by pado agency. But the paperwork for j kinda got lost so technically j is a pado idol, no one knows who he is tho.

Some other details: hangover soup restaurant is right next to all the idol agencies, a lot of the staff go there for lunch, rarely does an idol come, but you can sometimes see them.

Jung bin was a rising actor when cej was active, but after eight years he's only known for the infomercials his agency keeps having him do. You can often see his face advertising a juice juice brand or a flavor of water.

J has a very distinct style of dance. No one else has been able to replicate this. Lsy recognizes cej as j after seeing him dance when cej thought he was alone in the hangover soup restaurant.

OH ALSO the artisan dude is a highly sought after producer who doesn't care to work with most idols because he thinks their styles are boring. He can sometimes tolerate producing for lsy but even that gets boring. This all changes after he finds a video of some guy singing in his show with a really low quality mic but the voice is absolutely angelic and is the closest thing to J they've had in years.

(meanwhile cej had heard posting covers on YouTube could sometimes get you extra cash and he had an old video that his aunt took when he was practicing his part for an unreleased song back when he was active and figured that would be alright and not stand out too much but should gain some traction. He immediately freaked out when it somehow just suddenly went viral and deleted it.)

𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐄𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄

↳ ❝heeseung the flower boy❞

Y/N was not the first to the practice room, it seemed. It took half an hour even getting there, neither of the front desk attendees seeming to want to help her find the dance practice rooms. After 20 minutes attempting to read the Hybe Directory, she gave up, going to the front desk and asking for assistance. The ladies seemingly looked at her as if she was stupid. They wrote down instructions for her, snickering as she walked away.

There were three girls in the room already. One had brown hair to her lower neck, and a really cool flower on the back of her left hand. She sat on the floor in black sweats and a matching black long sleeved top, stretching out her legs and arms as she reach over to her left foot, holding onto it as she leaned her body in the same direction. The second girl has shorter black hair, with the cutest outfit on, a pink jacket bedazzled jacket with a matching pair of comfy looking pants, the butt having the word ‘BRATZ’ bedazzled on it. She leaned against the far wall of the practice room, looking down at her phone. The last girl was warming up it seemed, shaking off her nerves as her two braids bounced with her, the ribbons she had tied around the edges vibration almost. She had on a black sweater with tights, pushing her glasses off her face. Y/N set her bag in the corner with the rest of them, going to stretch not far from the long haired girl. She peeled off her jacket, beginning to stretch. For a good while, an awkward silence filled the room. Y/N and the girl with the flower tattoo had both finished stretching, and now all four girls were sitting in a semicircle, sitting quietly. Then, the door pushed open again. Two girls, one with brown hair, a nose ring and black and metal glasses frames, all tied together with a wide smile, accompanied by a girl with short black hair, cut in the same style as LE SSERAFIM’s Chaewon, and dark sunglasses entered the room. They paused, looking at the group of girls.

“Uh,” The girl with the nose ring said nervously, “Are we in the right place?”

“Are you guys trainees?” Asked the girl with pigtail braids. Both of the girls in the doorway shook their heads. “Then assuming you’re here as a backup dancer for ENHYPEN’s upcoming comeback, then yes.” Both of the looked relieved, dropping their bags with the rest and joining the other girls. “I’m Caelin by the way. We’re all under Voyance, no?”

“I think so. I’m Keina Saed by the way.” The girl in pink piped up, playing with the zipper of her jacket.

“I’m Annalesa, and this is Mickey.” The girl with the nose ring said before gesturing to the girl in the sunglasses.

“I’m Mai Hoa, Mai is just fine. I think me and you are under the same company, Keina Saed.” The girl with the flower tattoo added in.

“I’m Y/N, by the way.” The awkwardness was melting away, slowly but surely. “Actually, Mickey, i think we’ve met before.” The girl pulled off her sunglasses to reveal soft eyes that squinted at her suspiciously, before widening and grinning.

“We’re mutuals on Twitter! I left that comment under your cover if Shooting Star. You’re absolutely stunning in real life, for your information.” Y/N grinned, thanking the girl.

“Wait, is this everyone? Aren’t there supposed to be more?” Mai asked, looking around.

“The email said there were gonna be six other dancers not including me, so i think there’s one more.” Annalesa chirped. Just as she said that, the door pushed open once more, a girl dark black hair entered the dance practice room. She seemed partially surprised to see she was the last there, a blush forming on her cheeks as she bowed slightly, and dropping her bag as they all reciprocated the gesture.

“Hi, I'm Jung Sora. This is where we’re all supposed to be?” She questioned, and all the girls nodded in unison. As she approached the group, Keina Saed stood up, stretching her arms out.

“We should probably get re-warmed.” She suggested, bouncing on the balls of her feet. Everyone mumbled out an agreement, standing and stretching. Just like that, the awkward air was back, and everything felt stiff. Y/N couldn’t tell if it was because of the late arrival of Sora, or just the general atmosphere of the situation. But it was painful, and they would have to find a way to get through it; It was no secret that Engenes were…very special when it came to “their boys” even just interacting with women. Especially K-Engenes. And the boys were either clueless to it or couldn’t and wouldn’t do anything about it, nor the company. They had nobody but each other, at least until the end of the promotion period. They would have to make the most of it, together.

SYNOPSIS. L/N Y/N knows that beyond all else, she must stay professional. She knew that her job and dreams of being a main choreographer for a company was more important then any silly little feelings that seemed to be rather persistent in her brain. She was almost relieved to find out Dark Blood promotions were finished, until she was emailed a contract, along with the notice that she, as well as the other dancers, would be appearing alongside ENHYPEN during their second world tour. Fantastic.

This is for @going-to-ikea-for-the-fries and anyone else who wants to read my theoretical framework of Johnny MacTavish's personality lol. I just copied and pasted the paper so sorry if the format is awkward.

Abstract

This paper discusses and analyzes the personality of Sergeant Johnny “Soap” Mactavish from the Call of Duty video game franchise. His personality is looked at through the lenses of Alfred Adler’s theory of Fictional Finalism and Carl Jung’s theory of Extraversion. For Alfred Adler’s theory of Fictional Finalism, themes such as the feeling of inferiority and the desire to be superior in childhood are discussed and applied to the analysis of Johnny MacTavish’s personality and his behavior in the military as an adult. For Carl Jung’s theory of Extraversion, themes relating to what makes an Extravert and how they function in society and with the people and atmosphere around them are also taken into account to analyze the personality of Johnny MacTavish.

Keywords: Johnny “Soap” MacTavish, personality, theory, analyze, Alfred Adler, Fictional Finalism, Carl Jung, Extraversion

-

Johnny Mactavish is one of the most beloved and iconic characters from the video game Call of Duty. Specifically the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 reboot, which was released in 2022. The charming Scotsman has stolen the hearts of many players across the world due to his light hearted banter with his team members on Task Force 141, his passion, and his provision of comic relief. He is more commonly known as “Soap”, his callsign, due to his impeccable speed and accuracy in room clearance, as they refer to it in the military, which is checking if a room is clear of threats (Contributors to Call of Duty Wiki).

Johnny is very spirited. His personality is interesting because it contrasts the personality of the other soldiers on the Task Force. The other soldiers, although they are also very loveable characters, tend to be more stoic and tame than Johnny. He is quite literally their sun and they cannot help but get caught within his beams. Although not much about Johnny’s childhood, age, or backstory is mentioned throughout the game other than his origin from Scotland, it is mentioned, however, that he has taken an interest in the military ever since he was a child due to his older cousin bringing him around base to experience a day in the life as a soldier (Contributors to Call of Duty Wiki). Ever since then, Johnny has made it his ultimate goal to serve and protect the world from threats, as being so in awe of the world his older cousin exposed him to. Johnny has so much life in him which contrasts the darkness of his job as a Sergeant where he witnesses atrocities daily. He makes friends with nearly everyone he is put on missions with and is extremely witty. Many could say that he has the personality a teenage boy might due to his impulsivity and harmless mischief to the point where his behavior and remarks may be viewed as immature or inappropriate for the time being. He is always searching for a thrill and possesses a confidence that does not go unnoticed. However, Johnny knows when to be serious. He is a trained sniper and demolitions expert and the youngest person to ever pass the SAS (Special Air Forces Selection), despite constantly lying about his age at 16 and getting caught every time. He is extremely intelligent and knows when to demonstrate and use it when it is needed, putting his playful nature aside, thus showing responsibility. He is a natural born leader. Because of Johnny’s competence and proficiency, he eventually gained the position and title as Captain MacTavish (Contributors to Call of Duty Wiki).

One reason why I believe Johnny MacTavish is so cheery and outgoing, is because he has to be. Meaning, he deals with so much pain, death, and evil in his everyday life that he refuses to let it get to him. He remembers the oath he made to himself as a child when he first stepped foot onto a military base to become an even better soldier than his older cousin and to create better lives for people, and he intends to keep it. And to him, being the light in the darkness to his teammates and every soul he meets, other than the Task Force’s enemies of course, is a contribution to making the world a better place. As aforementioned, very little is known about Johnny’s childhood and home life aside from his older cousin, so I assume that his personality has developed from his interactions with his team, as he joined the military very young when he was still a teenager (Contributors to Call of Duty Wiki). So, Johnny maturing within a strict military setting, he didn’t get to experience the typical teenage life, so holding onto his boyish charm is a way to make up for a childhood that he may have missed out on. He became extremely close with the Task Force and he found a family other than his blood (Contributors to Call of Duty Wiki).

To analyze Johnny MacTavish’s personality further, it can be viewed through both Alfred Adler’s theory of Fictional Finalism and Carl Jung’s theory of Extraversion. These two theories apply to the personality of Johnny MacTavish because Alfred Adler’s Fictional Finalism theory discusses one’s desire to meet a future goal, and Carl Jung’s theory of Extraversion suggests how extraversion influences how one interacts with others. Johnny’s goal is to help cleanse the world from evil and be the best soldier he can be, and his extraversion plays a part in his qualifications for leadership and how easy it is for him to connect with other people.

Starting with Adler’s theory of Fictional Finalism, an article from Libretexts discusses how Fictional Finalism is rooted in the belief that one feels inferior during childhood. They strive to be superior to their parents or other authorities in their lives. They fictionalize and imagine what they want their goal in life to be and are motivated to get themselves there (Kelland, 2022). The article goes on to discuss how feelings of superiority and inferiority affect one’s goals and how they go about their life and how it connects to Fictional Finalism. It also discusses other concepts such as Fictive Superiority, where one falsely believes that they are actually superior to everyone, and how it can get confused with Fictional Finalism due to the influence of the desire to be superior (Kelland, 2022). Johnny MacTavish demonstrates Fictional Finalism in his childhood when his older cousin introduced him to the military. Ever since then, Johnny strived to be a better soldier than his older cousin and to make the world a better place. Even in adulthood Johnny demonstrates Fictional Finalism with the same goal. He also gained other goals that seemed out of reach for him such as becoming Captain, which he eventually achieved (Contributors to Call of Duty Wiki). Another way Johnny shows the characteristics of Fictional Finalism is when he is talking to his Lieutenant and best friend Simon “Ghost” Riley. Jokingly, Johnny tells Lieutenant Riley, “I want to be like you when I grow up L.T.” to which Lieutenant Riley responds “You want to be better than me Johnny.” Johnny then ends the conversation by saying “I will be” (Brian Bloom et al., 2022).

Another article by PressBooks discusses Adler’s belief that the power of one’s individual self influences their Fictional Finalism. He believed that each person is born with a sense of inferiority as an infant and as they grow older, they develop a goal that is unique to themselves based on their personal life experiences. This became known as Individual Psychology (The American Women's College Psychology Department & McGrath, n/a). The article goes on to explain Adler’s belief that people’s outlook on life and what they deem their self worth to be has all to do with the meaning of their life and their life goals. This goes for Johnny MacTavish as well because his goal of being a good soldier and doing all he can to make the world less malicious is individualized to how dear he holds his job and his military influence from his older cousin at such a young age.

Another personality theory that can be used to analyze Johnny MacTavish’s personality is Carl Jung’s theory of Extraversion. According to an article from the website Carl Jung Depth Psychology, Carl Jung’s personality theory of Extraversion described Extraversion as one’s energy being drawn to the outer world. An Extravert is normally talkative and social. They are the life of the party. An Extravert is driven by outside factors which influences how they perceive life (Purrington et al., 2020). The article also discusses how Carl Jung believed that everyone had Introverted and Extraverted tendencies, with one being more dominant over the other. It also discusses the dangers of Extraversion such as getting to caught up with being out in the world and giving too much of oneself away to where you end up losing yourself (Purrington et al., 2020). Johnny MacTavish can be characterized as an Extravert for the way he socializes with those around him, even if he doesn’t know them. He is loud, welcoming, jolly, and unapologetically himself. His assertiveness and shamelessness of who he is and how he interacts with his teammates on the Task Force and other soldiers such as making jokes and treating them like life long friends clearly labels him as an Extravert. Johnny is rarely alone and his energy is very drawn to the outside world, as his goal to make the world as peaceful as possible is an external goal in and of itself.

A separate article written by Kendra Cherry discusses Extraversion’s effect on human behavior. The article discusses how Extraverts thrive from social interaction and the difference between Extraversion and Introversion. Introversion is a lack of Extraversion, and is often misinterpreted as shyness (Kendra Cherry, 2023). Introverts tend to enjoy time alone more than being in social gatherings and keep to themselves more than Extraverts do by choice, as they do not need social interaction to enjoy themselves (Kendra Cherry, 2023). The article also lists Extraversion traits such as enjoying attention, talkativeness, friendliness, engaging in the atmosphere around them, etc. These traits all describe Johnny MacTavish. As previously mentioned, Johnny is the life of the party and the comedic relief when things get rough on the battlefield, and the other soldiers admire his positivity, wit, encouragement, and energy even during the toughest of times. Extraversion also tends to be associated with leadership (Kendra Cherry, 2023). Johnny’s ability to communicate with others well, confidence, inspiration, and heightened spirit allows him to be a strong leader as well as his precision with leading and planning missions. The Captain of Task Force 141, Captain John Price, noticed this in Johnny and took a special liking to him (Contributors to Call of Duty Wiki). Lacking certain Extraverted traits may cause one to be a weaker leader than another, but that is not to say Introverts cannot be leaders themselves, as Introverts also have skills that allow them to be organized and intelligent (Kendra Cherry, 2023).

One more interesting way of viewing Extraversion is through the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. This is another way of analyzing personality. Johnny MacTavish can be classified as an ESFP type personality, also known as the “Entertainer” or the “Performer” (Kendra Cherry, 2022) . The ESFP personality type is one that is very closely related to Extraversion, as they have pretty much the same traits such as enjoying socialization and going with the flow of things (Kendra Cherry, 2022). An ESFP personality also thrives off of spontaneity, which can also be their weakness, as they may not think about the consequences of their actions and how they can negatively affect the outcome (Kendra Cherry, 2022). This describes Johnny MacTavish to a tee as his impulsive actions can sometimes get him and others into trouble since he sometimes doesn’t think before acting. An example of this can be seen in one scene from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 when the Task Force captured their enemy Vladimir Makarov and they were transporting him in a helicopter. However, Makarov wanted to get caught to distract the team so he could blow up an airport without the Task Force catching him before, which would interrupt his plan. Johnny was furious and started beating Makarov and held him at gunpoint, threatening to kill him. The Task Force Captain, Captain John Price, had to hold Johnny back and convince him to put the gun down, because if he killed Makarov, they would be committing a war crime. Johnny eventually listened to Price and released Makarov. Unfortunately, at the end of the game’s campaign, Makarov killed Johnny MacTavish with a shot to the temple (Halon et al., 2023).

With everything said, Johnny MacTavish is a passionate, bubbly, and lively character who thrives so much from his interactions with the world around him thus inspiring him to fight to make it as safe and wonderful as he can so it can be seen by others the way he sees it. He is spontaneous and quite literally the Task Force’s ray of sunshine in their darkness due to the contrast of his personality compared to his teammates. Both Adler’s theory of Fictional Finalism and Carl Jung’s theory of Extraversion apply to Johnny’s personality because of his determination to be the good in the world and his extremely friendly social nature. He possesses traits that allow him to always find the good in things and to be a natural born leader even in the roughest and darkest of times, which his teammates admire (Contributors to Call of Duty Wiki). The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator of the ESFP personality type can also be applied to Johnny’s personality since he is very impulsive and thrives off of social interaction. Traits of the ESFP personality type can also be very closely related, and even included in the definition of Extraversion, and vice versa (Kendra Cherry, 2022). Because of all the personality traits he shows, his charm, and his unique way of acting despite the counter personalities of his teammates, Johnny MacTavish is a video game character that will be remembered as an icon for generations to come, despite no longer being alive in the Call of Duty world.

Somehow has normal, alive parents: Lee Jun-ho (Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Has no backstory at all. We only meet his older sister and hear nothing about his childhood.) Shin Ha-ri (Business Proposal, her family is refreshingly normal, right down to her brother being sent out to find her when she's drunk) Oh Han-byeol (Sh**ting Stars, Again, we know almost nothing about her family, only that she has twin sisters. But she doesn't appear to have childhood trauma.) Park Yeon-woo (The Story of Park's Marriage Contract, her mom being annoyed at her for something that is a crime doesn't count as bad parenting) Lee Young-joon/Sung-hyun (What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, his trauma comes from a kidnapper, his parents faced a pretty impossible situation and did their best. They clearly love their kids) Baek Hyun-woo (Queen of Tears, nothing wrong with them out of the ordinary and they are in the drama a significant amount.) Ha Eun-gyeol (Twinkling Watermelon, very loving parents and the deafness and their reliance on him is not anyone's fault)

*Counting her as an orphan even though she gets her parents back after 20 years, she spent her childhood orphaned. ***This character is tricky because I understand why her mother wanted nothing to do with her, but her trying to manipulate the dad and also saying he didn't raise her properly made me so angry. ****This character is tricky because he was explicitly raised as an orphan by his grandma, his father didn't sign his birth certificate (Korean equivalent of this), and he's registered as the child of his grandmother, not his actual mom. His grandma is dead by the beginning of the series and he is living alone without family, so I think he counts as an orphan.

Stranezza.

Questa notte ho avuto ... non saprei come descriverlo, la mia compagna mi ha detto che sono come caduto dal letto, boh, forse ero solo stanco? Chissà cosa è successo, sto diventando sonnambulo? Comunque, ieri mi hanno dato il contratto, era tanto che non vedevo un papello cartaceo da firmare, gli ultimi 3 erano digitali e neanche li ho firmati. Arrivato a casa ho chiesto a lei se me lo traduceva, perché interamente in estone, di tutto l'ambaradam ho notato solo che scade il 31 Dicembre del 2025, non so perché chiederò, e il fatto che non vengono menzionate le ferie, allora penso che sia più importante di una possibile fine, infatti stamane chiedo all'headchef e mi dice che è a discrezione dello chef del team e che sono pagate, ma perché non metterlo in contratto visto che ci sono clausole assurde, va bè l'importante è avere il quadro chiaro. Parlando con Spock mi ha detto che anche il suo contratto scade lo stesso giorno, strano, cosa succederà l'ultimo dell'anno prossimo? Le coincidenze non esistono diceva Jung, quindi cosa ci aspetta per un futuro prossimo? Per non saper ne leggere e ne scrivere, si dice così dalle mie parti, io inizio a pensare a qualcosa da fare in quel futuro così non tanto lontano, ma non mi viene in mente niente che non abbia già in lista; sarà, nel frattempo la sauna è pronta e mi sa che vado così giusto per fare qualcosa di simpatico.

Vi lascio una composizione un pò enigmatica 😁​

DANSEIJI IV vs SPILHAUS-ADAMS

Danseiji IV Miscellaneous Compromise

Created by Justin Kunimune in 2019. Instead of simple equations, the Danseiji projections use a different construction method where a mesh is imagined on a sphere, and then optimised to some constraints by changing the elastic properties and letting it settle. For the Danseiji IV, the aim was to reduce distortion everywhere and introduce a bunch of interruptions in the ocean to handle it, this gives a layout similar to the Dymaxion or the Peirce Quincuncial and could be used in the same ways as them.

Spilhaus-Adams Polyhedral Conformal

Created by Athelstan F Spilhaus in 1979 as an oblique aspect of the Adams World in a Square II, while the Spilhaus-Adams projection looks weird at a first glance, it has a very specific aim: to show all the oceans without interruptions. This goal means that it doesn't care about area distortions on land (resulting in massive distortions in South America and East Asia).

NOTE: because of its unique goals it is usually presented with most of the land round the edge removed, and a couple of repetitions to preserve the gulf of Mexico fully, I would recommend checking below the cut for this before voting.
