Detectives are generally more reserved and prefer being alone. They are self-sufficient and independent thinkers.

They are very observant and focus on the details of a situation, trusting facts and making decisions based on the here-and-now.

They are also spontaneous and prefer keeping their options open. Detectives are often more adaptable and less aware of time.

Big Three: Capricorn Sun, Aries Moon and Cancer Rising

Capricorn Sun: Capricorn is ruled by authoritative Saturn, which is why they tend to work hard toward advancing themselves in earthly matters. 

Aries Moon: Lunar Aries are known to be emotionally responsive and impulsive at times, as they lead with fiery passions over than logic or reason.

Basic Desire: Their basic desire is to remain in control of their own lives. They also want other people to be free, and are often advocates for those less able.

Nonconformists defend themselves by denying vulnerability. They don’t want to appear weak and therefore avoid situations that may leave them exposed or defenseless.

Wanda's MBTI Type, Big Three, Enneagram Type and Moral Alignment

MBTI Type: INFP [The Mediator]

INFPs value time alone or with very small groups and can often feel exhausted after spending time with large groups of people.

They tend to focus on the big picture and don’t get lost on the smaller details. They have strong intuitions and often follow their gut instincts.

Mediators tend to prioritize emotion and make decisions that feel right. They are very diplomatic and can easily understand others emotions.

They are very flexible in their schedules. INFPs like to keep their options open and tend to be more spontaneous.

Big Three: Cancer Sun, Pisces Moon and Virgo Rising

Cancer Sun: Ruled by the Moon, Cancers are emotionally mature, intuitive, sensitive, and artistic. They are guided by their tender, loving, and protective hearts.

Pisces Moon: Pisces Moons are hyper-attuned to the needs and emotions of others. They're likely to predict what's on your mind before you even say it.

Virgo Rising: Virgo ascendants are the fact-finders and checkers of the zodiac. They are fair-minded and slow to anger.

Enneagram Type: 9w1 [The Negotiator]

Basic Fear: Nines with a one wing are afraid of being separated from the rest of the world and losing what matters to them.

Basic Desire: They desire peace, both internally and externally. Their type one wing encourages them to make their idealized, peaceful world a reality.

Negotiators defend themselves by participating heavily in routine to distract themselves and avoid negative emotions.

Moral Alignment: Lawful Good [The Crusader]

These are characters who believe in truth, honor and order. They always strive to do the right thing, even at a great personal cost.

Jared Howe's MBTI Type, Big Three and Enneagram Type

MBTI Type: ISFJ [The Defender]

ISFJ types need time alone to re-energize. They are self-sufficient and independent thinkers.

They are very observant and prefer to focus on the details of every situation. They listen to and follow past experience and present understandings.

Defenders prioritize the emotional needs of others. They make decisions based on what feels right, rather than what might make most logical sense.

They also prefer structure and organization, tending to follow rules and processes to an end goal. They are responsible and have a strong work ethic.

Big Three: Aries Sun, Capricorn Moon and Sagittarius Rising

Aries Sun: The first sign of the zodiac, Aries is ruled by action planet Mars. When placed as the sun sign, the ram can motivate themselves to face on fears and blow past hesitation.

Capricorn Moon: The Capricorn Moon is reflective and contemplative, working to build a better foundation with those they care about.

Sagittarius Rising:  Sagittarius risings are jovial, optimistic, and full of energy. They sparkle with confidence, and you can't help but sparkle back when you're around them.

Enneagram Type: 6w7 [The Confidant]

Basic Fear: Six wing sevens’ fear losing their support system. This may be expressed through self-deprecating humor, in which they seek affirmation and assurance from other people.

Basic Desire: Their basic desire is to feel safe and supported. They show this by being loving and supportive to others. They honor their commitments and are very loyal to their friends.

Like other sixes, Confidants defend themselves by projecting their feelings, which may lead them to misunderstanding themselves and their relationships.

Ian O'Shea's MBTI Type, Big Three and Enneagram Type

MBTI Type: INFJ [The Advocate]

Introverted INFJs exhaust quickly around people and recharge by spending time by themselves.

They tend to overlook small details and instead focus on the entire perspective. They love to see how everything connects together.

Advocates prioritize their emotions. They tend to base decisions on what they feel is right rather than what might be logically sound, making them very empathetic.

They are also very structured and organized. INFJs like to plan ahead and follow processes and schedules.

Big Three: Taurus Sun, Cancer Moon and Libra Rising

Taurus Sun:  The Bull tends to be drawn to a creative and indulgent lifestyle — and we wouldn’t expect anything less from a Venus ruled sign. They're also thought to have a stubborn, loyal and grounded personality.

Cancer Moon: The emotions of Cancer Moons have no limits, restraints, or depths. This is a cosmic placement that often leads to sweetness, kindness, emotional awareness and responsibility. 

Libra Rising: Finding balance in life is essential for Libra risings, who prefer things to be even-keeled and civil.

Enneagram Type: 9w1 [The Negotiator]

Basic Fear: Nines with a one wing are afraid of being separated from the rest of the world and losing what matters to them.

Basic Desire: They desire peace, both internally and externally. Their type one wing encourages them to make their idealized, peaceful world a reality.

Negotiators defend themselves by participating heavily in routine to distract themselves and avoid negative emotions.

‘til we die, it’s just you and I

until the end of time we will be together

‘Til We Die - Juniper Vale and Vian Izak 

[justheretopetyourdog]

Wanda: You stabbed him?!

Mel: In my defense, you didn't hear what he said.

Wanda: What did he say?

Mel: "What are you going to do? Stab me?"

Jared: I'm with Mel on this. That's practically an invitation.

[cosmic-theory]

“Eight full lives,” I whispered against his jaw, my voice breaking.

“Eight full lives and I never found anyone I would stay on a planet for, anyone I would follow when they left. I never found a partner. Why now? Why you? You're not of my species. How can you be my partner?” “It's a strange universe,” he murmured. “It's not fair,” I complained, echoing Sunny's words. It wasn't fair. How could I find this, find love–now, in this eleventh hour–and have to leave it? Was it fair that my soul and body couldn't reconcile? Was it fair that I had to love Melanie, too? Was it fair that Ian would suffer? He deserved happiness if anyone did. It wasn't fair or right or even…sane. How could I do this to him? “I love you,” I whispered. “Don't say that like you're saying goodbye.” But I had to. “I, the soul called Wanderer, love you, human Ian. And that will never change, no matter what I might become.” I worded it carefully, so that there would be no lie in my voice. “If I were a Dolphin or a Bear or a Flower, it wouldn't matter. I would always love you, always remember you. You will be my only partner.”

i saw someone call figs wanda childa bit troubling and dishonest bc shes messing with ruben and manipulating him and they deleted the post but like girl. where is your whimsy.

opinion time but emily is constantly one of the funniest people on set. some people just cant handle a girl getting a bit silly with it

The Wanda Childa bit is hands down one of my favorite Fig bits this season and as long as she’s not kissing adult doctors I’m so down for her playing with Rueben’s head. He openly has it out for Fig and would probably do the same thing tbh. She’s like 16 and fucking with this emo dork that says he’s getting mobbed for autographs is really funny and people forget that this is mostly a comedy show

Emily makes me die laughing like the “keep my name out of your mouth” thing had me screaming!! 👏 Every season fans just pick a woman at the table to scrutinize and hate and this season it’s Emily again. It’s so annoying bc she’s such a great player and so fcking hilarious and absolutely nothing has changed in the way that she plays fig, the goofs have just gotten bigger.

The fandom really is just a completely different landscape from what it was when FH first aired, I’m glad it grew but I miss when everyone was just vibing and enjoying the show. Not everyone will think EVERY joke is funny but taking it seriously like Rueben is a real person that will get hurt by being deceived is bonkers when you can see just how delighted Brennan and Emily are to play with the Wanda/Rueben dynamic

its 2024 and i like a smeyer book. 2014 me would be aghast because she'd think it's twilight

[manonbeakblack]

a host playlist in 3 parts (inc. the obviously much-anticipated vinyl release. Isn't that so nice and a normal thing to do??)

🎧 apple music

thx to @whydoistilllikethehost for sourcing the screenshots so I didn't have to

[sweetbee0108]

being in a dead fandom is so sad all i want is ian x wanda smut but noOoOo smeyer's best book came after the twilight series so either everyone was hooked on or bashing that with no time to read a book about a love square during an alien invasion

the movie is great imo but the book is infinitely better

Bringing an old post back - In the Host, as the human resistance increases in number, do you think Wanda can escape her fate of being an immortal advisor for the group if she finds a replacement?

I talk about that in this post.

Depends, this generation? Probably not.

The thing about Wanda is that they trust her (well, to an extent). They've had months with her, she was in the body of someone they knew and had a connection with, they've spoken with her, and she has traits American humans find admirable (Wanda notes that the gang's a little biased in the souls they meet in thus far they've met personalities many standard deviations away from the norm, where souls are typically incredibly timid and very easily frightened).

They're not going to want to trade her out for some soul they don't know, if they get any other one than Burns at all (and Burns, we didn't see too much of, but I imagine the gang's leery and doesn't want him hanging around too much).

After all, trusting the wrong person will get all of them killed.

More, Wanda has institutional knowledge which is vital to their survival. Why would they get rid of the person who knows everyone and knows how everything works?

Now, in time, if everyone's dead and Wanderer's looking at getting a second body, maybe they'll say "alright, yeah, you can go" but they may also be terrified of the idea of how to survive without her.

(Also, when and how would Wanda find a replacement? Not just any soul will do, they have to be both loyal and useful. Sorry, Sunny, you're loyal but from the little we've seen of you not useful.)
