Why Fiyeraba Are Perfect for Eachother, According to science MBTI

Through their differences, authenticity, sense of what's right, and just overall being well-meaning people, these two are a great example of how you can lift someone up, just by being your most authentic self.

Hello, this is a Fiyeraba analysis no one asked for. It doesn’t contain any spoilers for Wicked: Part 2.

Disclaimer Regarding MBTI: I know many people think MBTI is bullshit and even a bit limiting, when we talk about real life, and the people inhabiting it, but in the case of well-written, consistent fictional characters (which applies to both Elphaba and Fiyero) I think MBTI can be used without worrying about negative effects. That being said, enjoy the analysis of Fiyeraba through this lense!

I.) Context, If You Are Not Familiar with MBTI

When it comes to MBTI, there are two angles of looking at the types. One you are probably familiar with is the four-letter abbreviation (ENFP, INTJ, ESTJ, etc), but there is a deeper layer, where we are looking at those cognitive functions that each type uses. There are 16 variations of the four-letter types, but only 8 functions, that vary in order, and preference in each type. 

We identify four main cognitive functions in each type. Introverted types (their four-letter type stars with an I) are most comfortable using their introverted functions, and extraverted types (their four letters start with an E) are most comfortable with their extraverted functions. However as a person grows up, goes through life and evolves, they learn to harness their initially weaker functions better, and this gives them a more well-rounded personality, and a more healthier way of living in the world and be their authentic selves.

The order of the functions is also important, so whatever is in first place is their strongest function, and whatever is their last is their weakest.

You may be looking at this thinking “I didn’t ask for this”. And you are right, you didn’t, but bear with me.

So, lets sum it up: Each four-letter type has four main functions, and the extraverts are good at extravert stuff, while introverts are good at introvert stuff. Got it!

Now that we have this nailed down, lets look at these beatiful idiots then.

II.) Fiyeraba and Their MBTI Types and Cognitive Functions

Elphaba is an INTJ. INTJs are nicknamed “masterminds” by some people, because they are really good at big picture stuff. Ironically more often than not, if a story requires a villain with a large plan, they do tend to be INTJs. INTJs make for great villains in people’s eyes, with their no-nonsense way of going around in the world, and in a society full of rules and norms, they stand out, no matter what they do. Some people like to see Elphaba as an ISFP, that would mean that her introverted feeling is stronger than her intuition, but I think those people are wrong lol. Just look at the matter of seconds it took for Elphaba to realize that the Wizard is a fake once she was face to face with him, and then making a plan, and running away. Also, the trope of "you see me as a villain, so I will become your villain" is a common INTJ character trope, and applies to Elphaba super well.

Fiyero is an ESFP. ESFPs are nicknamed as “performers” or “entertainers”. They are usually popular, bold, original, and very observant. They are often considered as shallow, and superficial, which they can be, if they don't focus enough on developing their inner world, their intorverted feeling and their intuition. They are often impulsive, seeking newness, but they can easily fall into this superficiality as a routine, if they are not challenged.

Elphaba - INTJ - cognitive functions: Ni-Te-Fi-Se

(Ni) Introverted Intuition: Dominantly seeks deep patterns, long-term vision, and abstract connections for strategic planning. - Elphaba is the only one who intuitively sees Fiyero being unhappy. Later, as soon as her blinders of false hope are lifted after changing the monkeys, she almost immediately puts two and two together.

(Te) Extraverted Thinking: Structures external environments logically, focusing on efficiency and execution. - From information fragments she gathers at Emerald City, with her thinking supported by her intuition, she puts together the Wizard not having any powers, and seeing through his scheme. 

(Fi) Introverted Feeling: Prioritizes internal values and authenticity in decision-making, though less visibly. - She has a strong sense of what's right, and would never chose what is good for her over what she thinks is the morally right thing to do.

(Se) Extraverted Sensing: Engages with sensory experiences and the present moment, though it’s less naturally prominent. - Once she decides she will fly, she does. She is very graceful, knows how to use her environment to her benefit, although she is a bit slow to take action.

Fiyero - ESFP - cognitive functions: Se-Fi-Te-Ni

(Se) Extraverted Sensing: Focuses on real-time sensory details, enabling adaptability, spontaneity, and a hands-on approach to life. - He's obviously an amazing dancer, and finds joy in the sensory experiences around him. He has no problems balancing on books, jumping off places, dancing, having good old sensory fun.

(Fi) Introverted Feeling: Guides decisions through personal values and emotions, fostering empathy and authenticity. - This function is somewhat dormant in him, although you can see that he cares very deeply for the animals, and feels the need to let Elphaba know that she doesn't have to be "galinda-fied". He appreciates her authenticity and it makes him work more on his own.

(Te) Extraverted Thinking: Organizes actions logically and efficiently to achieve tangible goals. - He is not booksmart, but streetsmart, he recognizes when it is safe to do something, and considers his environment before doing so. 

(Ni) Introverted Intuition: Recognizes patterns and long-term possibilities, offering introspection and strategic insight when developed. - Him calling out Elphaba on her defense mechanism is a very good example of him tapping into his intuitive side, although he doesn't do it very often.

Elphaba and Fiyero have the exact same cognitive functions, but in a completely reverse order: Elphaba: Ni-Te-Fi-Se Fiyero: Se-Fi-Te-Ni I highlighted their strongest functions as seen above.

Now, as I mentioned earlier, whatever function is in first place is the strongest in a person, and whatever is last is the absolute weakest. And while the first and third functions are more easily accessible to everyone (due to them being extraverted functions in an extravert, and introverted functions in an introvert) the very last one, well, it’s difficult to learn to use.

For Elphaba her weakest function is (Se), that Fiyero is amazing at. (Se) can be used to assess your environment on a sensory level, to see and hear what is where, to notice details in how things look. People with well developed (Se) are great at the physical things, like doing your stunts, or dancing, jumping etc.

For Fiyero, his weakest function is (Ni), that Elphaba is just a natural at. (Ni) helps you see patterns in the world around you, and it has been described lovingly by people online as “being able to see the future” (does that ring a bell?) but also by recognizing patterns, seeing a big picture, usually noticing things that other people don’t.

So obviously those are two functions, that one of them learns from the other, right? I mean they just learn how to tap into them. Although they probably don’t as much learn from eachother, but see the other using it, and it makes their own relationship to this under utilized part of themselves change, and improve because of it. But while that is amazing, and will come very helpful to them in act 2/part 2 that is not the aspect that they connect through. What I really want to talk about is…

III.) Connecting Through Authenticity and Values - Introverted Feeling aka (Fi)

Look, you read those two words, you may think, okay, so it’s about people feeling things, like that’s normal, right? Everyone has feelings, so what’s the big deal? No, that’s not what it’s about. (Fi) is about what is _right_. It’s your values, that you hold so deep, that you can’t and won’t cut it out for anything or anyone. It what makes you you, and it is people with (Fi) that usually speak up for marginalized groups, and do the right thing, even if it comes at a personal cost. Introverted feeling is integrity, and it’s authenticity.

And as you can see, Elphaba has this in third place, and Fiyero has it in second. Fiyero should be amazing at this, but his integrity? It’s actually a bit… asleep. Why?

Looping is a phenomena that we call when an introverted person uses only their introverted, or an extraverted person uses only their extraverted functions. It’s a stress response. A defense mechanism. It’s unhealthy, and painful, because yes, your second (and fourth) functions are difficult to develop, but  they are part of who you are, you can’t just shut them out, without cutting pieces out of yourself. Kids live with their first and third functions, and then it is believed that throughout teenagehood, we start to engage our second function more. But when something bad happens to us, we sometimes turn this second function off as adults or as teenagers, reverting back to childish behavior. It’s not for fun, and it never makes us satisfied.

Fiyero is looping, and the mindset he presents in Dancing Through Life is the textbook version of an ESFP in crisis. It is literally a song about that.

“Mindless” and “brainless” are not there to reflect on his lack of intellect, but the fact that he is not integrating these important parts of himself that he should to assess what is right, and he choses not to think about the world around him. He is skipping over that (Fi) as if it was another hurdle in his way, because probably, at some point he realized that his integrity and authenticity doesn’t really matter to the world around him. His values nobody cares about, despite him having everything handed over on a silver platter. 

Escaping the Loop. When Elphaba steps into his life, and he sees her standing up for the animals, that’s the moment, she jump-starts this part inside him. He’s been literally sleepwalking through life up to that point. It is on the levels of authenticity that these two characters are allowed to truly connect, and it is this authenticity and integrity that allows them to see past everything else. (“It’s not lying! It’s looking at things another way.” IYKYK)

IV.) Growing While Lifting Eachother Up

For Elphaba, her personal journey is a strange one. She literally grew up in another bubble, but her integrity has developed. She is well in touch with her cognitive functions, but she is living in a lie, so her bubble is a lie. The fact that she could go through life for so long, not realizing that something was broken in the world, apart from how she was personally treated, goes to show you, what a good job the Wizard did with his manipulation.

Once she really first sees the problems in Oz is with the lion cub in the classroom. You can see her trying to fight for it, raise her voice, ask others to join in, to help and nobody responds, only Fiyero engages with her, asking “I’m sorry, we?” See how Fiyero immediately takes it upon himself, although he was not addressed directly by name, or in any other way. She looked in the general direction of her friends, and he was the only one who responded at all.

Elphaba, tries to solve the situation with her tried and true and tested intuition, integrity, thinking, but she lacks something. She bursts out emotionally, putting the class to sleep, safe for one Fiyero. She needs someone to show her how to take action in that situation, and Fiyero steps in. By that time, Elphaba helped Fiyero engage his values again, so he jumps in to help, and almost literally drags her with himself, moving her out of her comfort zone and out of class.

Up to this point Elphaba was told by Morrible to harness those emotions, but she also put a limitation on Elphaba with those classes. She thinks acting on those feelings is not always right, but these are not just emotions, these are beliefs and values and things that are actually important to her, so keeping them quiet is not the right path. But these two characters complement eachother, and bring out the best in the other, without pushing down anything in each other.  They make eachother stronger and more capable. In the class, Fiyero pulls her out of the limiting mindset she put on herself, and other put on her, and they actually save a life together, and after this neither of them are the same again.

Fiyero starts thinking about what’s right. About the day with the lion cub, and the person he shared it with. He spends more time "inwards" and gives less care about the physical world, and what he thought was important before.

Elphaba leaves to Emerald City with Glinda, not realizing she will be tested, in more ways than she can imagine. And when, at the end of the day she faces a situation, where she needs to take action against the biggest odds she has ever faced, and with Morrible on the loudspeakers disparaging her, she doesn't listen. She doesn't allow those limitations back onto her, she just closes her eyes and leaps.

And when she does, Fiyero jumps on his horse, as the entire world is starting to close in around Elphaba, and goes to look for her.

I guess you could say that together they are actually unlimited.

Can you make some HC of what Ran would be like as a father? like if he would be the playful type or a little serious, worried or calm... maybe it's a weird request but I have a soft spot for dad Ran and your HC's are always cute so I think you would be the right person for me to ask this 🤣

Merry Christmas ❤️🎄

Dad Ran is super cute to think about, here are my hc's for him!

He insists the baby will have his good looks

Poor guy is so confused when the baby starts crying instead of sleeping, he doesn't understand why anyone would choose not to sleep.

Is an expert at doing his kids hair

He personalises the nappy bag and buggy

Insists he's an expert at pinatas at every birthday party they have

He smiles a lot at them, even when he doesn't realise it. Just seeing his kids brightens his day

Says he's a "cool dad"

Ran cut his hair in the future because of his kids (them as babies pulling on his hair)

When Ran first finds out he's going to be a dad he laughs, he thinks it's a joke.

He wants only the best for his baby, will buy expensive clothes and essentials.

Despises changing nappies and has gagged before but still does it.

Wants more then one child, he thinks siblings are important.

He likes giving his kids pet names, calling them precious or his darlings

Ran is both excited and terrified when he watches them grow up, he never thought he would miss the baby days

Both Ran and his kid hates spiders, they'll both run away screaming

He's a drama queen when it comes to illnesses, his kid coughs once and he panics, taking them to hospital.

Accidentally forgot his baby after getting his hair done once, he just walked out after paying. Came back 10 minutes later in a panic then bribed the baby with a new toy to not tell anyone ever (the baby could not yet speak) 

He makes so many dad jokes!

He's very good at not swearing in front of the kids and substituting words. He accidentally starts using them on Rindou too though, which just confuses Rindou.

Would wear matching sunglasses with his kids and make dramatic entrances with them

[gallium-spoon]

I have a couple additional thoughts:

Light rail/ trains remain more popular and important for travel in this universe. Cars are still common but they had difficulty becoming the default mode of transportation as they needed to be larger, have more seats, and have special belts/harnesses/other safety features for daemons which made them more expensive and took longer to modernize

The first floor of public buildings is required to be large and spacious enough, and with a big enough entrance, to accommodate large daemons

Hospitals, apartments, and hotels are all required to have a couple of large rooms to accommodate those with very large daemons (as with ADA compliance in our world, how well these requirements are met varies)

A common public accessibility tool are large wagons that can be used by people with large but slow moving daemons such as big tortoises. Your tortoise daemon goes in the wagon, and now you can pull the wagon and keep up with your friends. Wheeled fish tanks for aquatic daemons are also available (I'd like there to be a handless design, like something that attaches to a belt so you can pull your daemon around and use both your hands but I'm having trouble envisioning a design that isn't super cumbersome or a fall hazard)

And a couple in-universe personal thoughts on the above:

Avec has bad weather booties for his feet. He does not like them. But also does not like stepping on icy or boiling sidewalks so sacrifices must be made. He also wears a satchel to help me carry my stuff (very convenient)

Avec does NOT have his own bed. We can share just fine. My parents offered to get him his own bed when he settled and we refused

More little logistical conveniences in a world with corporeal daemons:

Bathrooms usually have a bed and/or a perch to give daemons a comfortable place to rest while their human bathes or showers other than the bath mat. Some daemons are happy to join their human in the bath/shower, but many don’t like getting wet or have forms that would make it difficult / possibly dangerous (e.g. a lot of rodents), and even for those that like water soaked fur can take a long time to fully dry so bathing isn’t usually an everyday thing.

Daemons don’t normally wear clothing, but there are times when it’s necessary or at least much more comfortable - for the same reasons animals sometimes wear clothing in our world. Not all fur and feathers are created equal, and a fennec fox, or a chihuahua, or a serval, or a parrot wouldn’t have a good time in cold climates. Children’s daemons can just turn into arctic animals and/or crawl into their human’s clothing (as shown in The Golden Compass), but daemons with warm-weather settled forms are out of luck, and often wear sweaters, hoodies, and/or earwarmers. Superheated pavement in warm climates, and road salt in cold ones, can also hurt a daemon’s feet just like a real animal’s, so many wear protective paw booties.

Human clothing made to accommodate daemons is also common. The most obvious is arm and shoulder pads which allow large birds - especially birds of prey - to land and ride on their humans’ arms or shoulders without injuring them. People don’t really wear falconry gauntlets because it’s not like they’re just putting them on for a hunting or training session with a bird, it’s daily life including times when you need to use both your hands for something else. Clothing may also have special pockets for very small daemons to ride in, sometimes incorporating clear plastic windows. Daemons that are too big for a pocket but small enough that walking around in crowded places is awkward - e.g. rats, ferrets, rabbits - most commonly ride on their humans’ shoulders, but sometimes being carried in a sling is easier, more comfortable, and warmer.

Doors with round handles are rare. Daemons don’t go far from their humans so it’s not incredibly limiting or dangerous to not be able to open a door, but it can be annoying and inconvenient to not be able to, especially when the human’s arms are both full of dishes or grocery bags or something. You’ll sometimes see ladders or rough surfaces attached to doors so small-ish forms can climb them, although this is probably seen as tacky.

Arcane season 2 rewrite part two : Jayce (version 1 with the wild runes)

(other parts here)

Again, we can start with the classic LoL lore and add Arcane elements.

Jayce is horrified by the lengths Viktor is willing to go to in the name of progress. He refuses that hextech and shimmer be used on unwilling patients (even with the goal to save them), but he still thinks he can bring Viktor back to reason. In his mind, Viktor betrayed him, betrayed them both, their hextech dream and what they both believed in, but he can still make him see the errors of his ways. He feels terrible about the trial Viktor had to go through (especially since he was in his place a few years ago, and if Viktor had not supported him through this ordeal, he would have ended his own life) but to him it was the best, most peaceful solution to stop his partner. And now he is haunted by Viktor's expression as he voted to cut him out of Hextech and to banish him.

Therefore, after the fallout, in an attempt to explain himself, he tracks Viktor and Singed in Zaun and ends up finding them : upon realizing what Viktor has begun to do to his own body, Jayce flies off the handle and the two of them have a terrible fight.

Fast forward to a few years later.

The war between Piltover and Zaun rages on, with shimmer as its main fuel.

Jayce has become egotistical and prideful. His arrogance is fueled both by the adoration he's lavished in (although he cannot discern the difference between genuine admiration and sycophants wanting to use him for their own interests), and by the fact that in the lab, no one can keep up with him since Viktor left. No lab partner can ever equal Viktor, his brilliant mind, his sharp remarks, his dry humor. The void left by Viktor cannot be filled.

It doesn't help that now he has trouble sleeping unless he has emptied the liquor shelf. It doesn't help that he has to fight everyday to extinguish the voice of his conscience as he's making new weapons (it's to protect Piltover, it's because the Zaunites started it, the fights in broad daylight, it's because Viktor is supplying them with super soldiers, it's because the Council and the whole city is counting on him, who is he if he cannot be the Defender of the city, it's because-)

He refuses that any "Man of Progress" posters be installed in his own house.

The situation has been particularly unbearable this year, as the epidemic of shimmer has now taken to the steets of Piltover. Piltover citizens are getting addicted to the substance too. The councilors are conniving to put the blame on Jayce, blackmailing him with the fact that he tried to negociate peace with Zaun, only for Zaun to lauch a missile on the Council. Shimmer is no longer a pretense to keep Zaun in check, it it a real problem in both cities.

And then the wild runes appear.

Understanding that the wild runes must be stopped and that this urgency is beyond the current war, Jayce tries to get back in contact with Viktor. Unfortunately his efforts are fruitless.

And that's where he ends up touching a wild rune which sends him to the future in which Piltover is destroyed (it's a vision of the future, not an alternative universe. This distinction is important). I would keep most of Jayce's adventure in the wild rune the same as Arcane, because I really liked this idea (also the poetic imagery of him having to metaphorically tread the same path as Viktor, etc. And yes he still hallucinates Viktor in this^^)

Once Jayce is out, he embarks on his redemption path and apologises to Heimerdinger and Mel for the pain and troubles he has caused them (I need to work out the details, but in this AU their relationship has soured, because the war has put them all face to face with their contradictions and they cannot go on any longer.) With Heimerdinger's help (after he has explained to him the danger of the wild runes and Heimerdinger refrains very politely from saying "I told you so"), he finally locates Viktor. He has heard the rumors, about death and shimmer traffic, but also about saved lives and new filters and prosthetics, and he doesn't know what to think. Has Viktor changed as much as himself ? Is his partner still present, under the Herald ?

The realisation that he has deluded himself for so long hits him hard. He needs Viktor, needs him as a partner in the lab, in his life, needs his help to put an end to the madness that is the current war.

They finally meet (although Viktor has trouble believing Jayce wants anything other than to kill him), and finally begin to unravel the years of anger and resentment and lack of understanding that brought them to this point. They are both haunted men now, with their own demons, but a spark of reconciliation and hope has been lit...

...until Jayce asks Viktor to help him rid Piltover and Zaun of shimmer, and Viktor explains exactly how his body works.

This is the one thing Jayce has no right to ask.

He has condemned Viktor when he implanted the hexcore to save his life.

ELBORATE ON THIS!!! ADD ON TO THIS!!! SPECIFY THIS!!! PLEAAAAASSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEE??? 🥹🥹🥹

AHH I just meant that while rivelia is a popular specialist/specialist ship (maybe the most popular one actually?), it's often liked from a very... fanon perspective. People really enjoy the Angry Red Character and Calm Pacifist Blue Character trope (i do too!) but in canon rivelia just isn't really like that? At least, not to the extent that people usually think of them in fanon.

People often focus on that dynamic of angry/calm for rivelia when there's a lot there that can be really interesting! Like Riven's dislike and distrust of Helia at first actually being residual feelings of dislike of Sky (and assuming that Helia would be another Sky). Or how Helia never disliked Riven, even when he was being a little bitch to him! Or how Riven understands Helia's more negative feelings in ways that even Flora sometimes doesn't. Or Helia being able to express annoyance with Riven without Riven considering it a personal attack or challenge like he still does with some of the others. Or Riven still getting really worried when Helia does dangerous shit on missions (in a way that he really doesn't get with the other guys). Or Helia always being a quiet comfort for Riven and being there when he wants to vent.

There's just... a lot that goes into their friendship that people often miss because they end up focusing a lot more on the angry/calm or fighter/pacifist dynamics. And like,,, there's nothing inherently wrong with that don't get me wrong, but I wish there was more rivelia content that was based on their canon relationship! I think riven/nabu (rivbu? naven... ??) also gets that fanon treatment of angry/calm when again, so much more goes into their friendship! But for rivelia specifically, they just have a lot of potential as a pairing (platonically and romantically) but so much of it gets missed out on :(

ok i'm kinda amused that my shitty photos of the stan comic is circling around like noooo you can find proper scans of those images and not be stuck using something i took in like 5 seconds with a super bad quality camera

[cruelsister-moved2]

after i did my dissertation and realised how much women's kindness is taken advantage of + often just without individual men even intending to exploit them but because We Live In A Society if you give something away as a woman chances are the person who takes it will be a man, i started feeling like i needed to reduce my desire to help people and keep things for myself otherwise im contributing to that. but more recently i realised this is also exactly what the patriarchy wants from us because women are so helpless if we dont have each other. and on a broader level i dont want to participate in a society where we have to choose between a binary of either paranoid hoarding or being stolen from! so now i decided to go back to my roots which is i would do absolutely anything for a woman. every time im helpful to a man i will help a woman 10x more. problem solved<33

today. i have experienced the HORRORS (opened laptop for morning meeting while seated between boss and coworker; was greeted with ao3 page i forgot to close last night)

[kingtankgirl]

so i work in the produce department of a food co-op n its a pretty huge co-op (u probably know exactly which one i work at if u know literally anything abt me cuz its pretty famous n successful) in the central valley of california so like. we get SO MUCH FRUIT. SO MUCH. cuz we are partnered with dozens of local farmers and because its stone fruit season like, theres always new shit to try. so a big part of my job is spent standing in the back with my coworkers n slicing up peaches n plums n melons n sharing them with each other. n one of my coworkers was like man food always tastes better when im trying it at work, like when i take it home to eat its never as good. and i was like yknow its probably because youre standing here, taking a break from work, and sharing it with people u rly like (another blessing is that our dept is very tight knit) n everyone was like man that's so true ive never realized that. n im moving in a few months and i gotta say i really will always appreciate how much of my job was just. slicing up fruit and handing it to people i care about with a smile. ill miss that. n even just providing locally grown organic food (some of which is certified regenerative which is rly cool n i love talking to ppl abt how regenerative organic farming is sooo important for climate change) to the people who live in the valley ive spent my whole life in. i wldve enjoyed making a career at this co-op but unfortunately im too disabled + the moving thing but yeah. meditating on the good things abt my job cuz im abt to go clock in LMAO
