Here’s a quote from a LocalScriptMan video that summarizes why the “Annabel is a Type Six because she seeks out allies” argument is simply not it for me:

“You can tell Six leaders apart from non-Six leaders because Six leaders believe their own propaganda. When they say ‘we have to destroy the whatever’, they mean that shit. They believe in that cause. With an Eight leader or a Three leader, you never know if it’s a psyop, but Sixes? They believe in the thing 100%.” —Writing with the Enneagram: Type Six, LocalScriptMan

It’s a psyop. It’s literally a psyop. She does not believe in her group’s cause and is literally lying to all of them💀

The Case for Annabel Lee as a Vain Type Three

I’m making this as a response to the outrageous fact that users on Personality Database have typed Annabel Lee as an Enneagram Type Six, which ????

I am a Type Six. Annabel Lee is absolutely not.

This is copied from the comment I just posted on there, so don’t worry: I am only plagiarizing myself.

Annabel Lee is a Type Three, likely with a dominant social instinct. Here’s why I think so:

In a situation that is, effectively, a social game, the first consequential decision that Annabel Lee makes is in Episode 9. After Ada has offered herself, as well as a handpicked group of other students, as an ally willing to follow Annabel’s leadership, Ada must clarify one thing before their alliance is solidified—that Annabel Lee is exactly who Ada wants and expects her to be.

Ada is banking on this; within the first two days, she’s gone the mile of sucking up to Annabel Lee, making enemies with Lenore and her friends to “[sort] the wheat from the chaff”, and gathering allies for Annabel’s approval. This is because Ada has clocked Annabel as a social magnet, someone who carries the mark of a leader, and someone with power (because of her class demonstration as the ‘Lady in White’)—hell, she compares Annabel to a queen in their first conversation.

So, when Ada asks Annabel, “[that odd girl Lenore] seems to think that she’s your…friend. Is she?” It is a test to confirm that her expectations are correct: that an elegant, socially powerful young woman like Annabel would not associate herself with losers or ‘class clowns’, so to speak, and, as such, is capable of carrying Ada to the finish line of the game they’ve been forced to play.

Annabel Lee has two options: she can break Ada’s expectations or she can conform to them. Ultimately, Annabel Lee chooses to defend herself by relying on the E3’s particular defense mechanism, which is identification. We see Annabel walk through the academy halls observing and responding to a social environment that seems to favor and admire her, with Ada talking in her ear about how “posh” she is, or how much she’s like a queen, and that she and Ada are “the same sort of person.”

It’s clear, to Annabel, what people want from her, and because she is not like Lenore, who would almost certainly reject any kind of unwanted conformity, and because Annabel has learned that survival means living on the expectations of others, she does exactly that: “…Mn. No. The poor darling. I don’t know what I did to give her that impression.”

A quote from ‘The Complete Enneagram’ by Beatrice Chestnut, which explains identification:

“Naranjo explains that ‘central to type Three is identification with an ideal self-image built as a response to the expectation of others,’ which often starts with the defensive effort to match ideal characteristics their parents valued. Threes defensively transform themselves into what important others—people in their environment whom they want to impress—admire and appreciate. By noticing and adopting characteristics that others regard as valuable, Threes seek to match an external model to assure approval.” — The Complete Enneagram, Beatrice Chestnut

And Annabel commits to this. She does it over and over again, to the point of gaining ire from Lenore herself, on many occasions. Annabel’s reliance on this defense mechanism, and the manipulations and cruelty that result from attempting to maintain a particular image and “win” the social game, is at the CRUX of their relationship conflict.

It is extremely Type Three-coded, which is why I’m baffled that anyone would ever call her a Type Six, as a Type Six myself.

…and that’s all folks. Maybe next week I’ll talk about the outrageous typing of Will as a Type Two when he is a TYPE NINE. Come ON people, what are we doing here

my favorite trope is when the elegant, emotionally distant character who doesn’t allow themself to be vulnerable around others just melts to bits and pieces for the blunt, rough-around-the-edges character who challenges them at every turn

some of my favorite fanfics thus far in no particular order:

self-insert oc fic where a med student is summoned into Naruto by way of blood sacrifice ritual conducted by infamous Jashin worshipper Hidan and must improv herself out of getting immediately slaughtered for literally the rest of the story

beastars x avatar au where legoshi is the avatar and has to hide it from everyone, but haru and louis find out and help him train his air and fire bending and also louis and legoshi fall in love

oc fic where a borderline suicidal office worker has the power to die and then come back to life and ends up getting saved by Batman who tries really hard to keep her from casually ending her life all the time and also falls in love with her

solo leveling x game of thrones crossover au where jinwoo accidentally finds a dungeon that brings him to westeros and he also accidentally gets engaged to tywin lannister (i have literally never seen got in my life but this premise was too good lmao)

self-insert oc fic where a mouthy communist is reborn into naruto and propagandizes about the gospel of Marx to a captive audience of shinobi (...who live in villages that are fiscally and governmentally dependent on and determined by their military btw...)

I'm catching up on When The Third Wheel Strikes Back mamhwa while at work and I didn't realize we were getting a marriage arc /silly /j

[taxominn]

we’re so spoiled about sung hyunje i dont think we can meet another virgin manwhore who looks so red flag but is actually so green flag bc while he wouldnt mind taking things that are useful to him he actually understands what it means to love someone. He doesn’t hurt them. He really cares for them. It might have been so hard for him to love. The concept might have been impossible for him bc of how his existence was prebuilt. But when it came to him, he understood the message. He is actually such a selfless lover, which. I think contrasts hyoojin in the sense that loving others for hyoojin is his selfish need of filling his own lack of self-love, his feelings of inadequacy being filled by others needing him…

(Of course Yoojin’s case is more complex than that. I call him selfish but it’s more complicated than that obviously! He is a complex lil guy)

Aguefort: Remember, Kristen. The greatest magic of all. Do you remember?

Kristen: ...is friendship?

Aguefort: What the fuck is wrong with you? Friendship? Are you about friendship? Friends die all the time! All this 'Love is the greatest magic of all'; so, in a war, when a mother and her children get fucking iced in an alleyway outside of their home, was the problem that they didn't love each other enough? That's crazy, Kristen! Love is not magic! Magic is magic; love is love!

Kristen: Okay, what's the answer, cokehead!?

Aguefort: Chronomacy! As I said on your first day--the greatest magic of all is chronomancy!

stories about time travel are about two things. number one is inevitable tragedy. number two is seeing that inevitable tragedy and saying oh god I will make this right please even if I can't fix it I will try to make this right. also I lied they're about three things and third is obviously love
