Lestat is an ESFP. I do not know where the idea of him being an ESTP or ENTP comes from. Is it because he makes plans? Or is it because of the weirdass stigma attached to Fi?
Feeling types also make plans. It’s just that our plans aren’t the most logical. For example: I (an Fi-dom) had the goal of making more than $14/hour consistently for the first time in my life. My plan: get a master’s degree in teaching. Signs my Fi made the decision: it felt true to myself because I could help disabled kids like I was. Signs my Te had nothing to do with it: teaching is one of the most stressful jobs out there, and I have an autoimmune condition that’s badly triggered by stress.
For another example: Lestat has the goal of outing himself to the world and starting a war between vampires and humans because he is sick of being phony (which alone should let you know it’s his Fi setting this goal). He’s also trying to find and protect Louis.
What a Ti-user (ESTP and ENTP) might come up with: start sending messages on the Vampire Telepathy Blogosphere, use his copious amounts of money to find out who wrote the IWTV book, actually do some kind of investigating, laying groundwork by releasing a series of smaller revelations to build up to the big revelation about vampires being real. ESTP would probably struggle with this more, but ultimately, Ti is what separates them from an ESFP.
What an Fi-user with inferior Ni would come up with: hijack a hair metal band and play an epic rock concert.
When we do see Lestat using his thinking function to make decisions, it’s some of the most Te shit you will ever see. Like when he starts chopping off Rhoshamandes’ body parts until the latter agrees to release his kids.
And no, he is not an intuitive type either. If he was, he’d be able to visualize the potential outcomes of his own actions. The only time he really does this--and can't stop doing it, and freezes up--is under great stress, which is a sign of inferior Ni.

Do you think Tori did that thing where whenever he runs out of actual arguments with Tsukasa he says "You're only like that because you're an only child if you'd grown up with siblings I bet you would've been wayyyyyyyy less weird" and then he watches gleefully as Tsukasa has to try to talk himself back into a position where Tori won't just play the Only Children are Strange card (it's impossible. Once he brings out that one there is no coming back you just have to accept that it's impossible to defend yourself from the fact that you don't have any siblings and maybe you could bring up that both of your families are rich as hell so it doesn't matter but then again it kind of does because that's an entirely different set of stuff happening so in the end you just concede and try to say something about it being surprising how big that ego of his seems to seem considering he's shorter than a twelve year old and hope that will just do the trick of getting you back onto the high ground by virtue of him being so aggravated he completely forgets about the fact your don't have any siblings)
SFDDGHJHKHGJGKS he 100% would oh my god. esp because part of the reason tsukasa is often weird about kohaku is because he wants a little brother to pamper soooooo bad tori would tease him so much over it dlfjdmfjdmfm "tori-kun said im weird because im an only child so ill show him just how good of an older sibling i can be!" "bon, ya kidnapped me once" (tori isn't even paying attention or anywhere near them)

A testament to Samantha LaRusso's heart (1/?)
Cobra Kai - S05E08 and S05E09
This moment starts with a distressed Samantha LaRusso, who just saw her chance of rekindling her relationship with her boyfriend destroyed. It is in this emotionally charged headspace that Tory approaches the girl she had harassed for a very long time.
It is important to be highlighted that Tory had no ill intention anymore, we as the audience know it, but Sam does not. Sam had seen nothing to support that, except the quick moment of concern during the end of the All Valley. To Sam, in this second, Tory is still someone who wants to hurt her and part of the group [Cobra Kai] who had been hurting her friends and family.
Naturally, her reaction upon seeing this girl is a clear answer to trauma. Because she immediately rises her fists.
Sam's fear is palpable, she staggers and gets ready to fight because that's what Tory's attitude towards her had taught her to do. To be on her toes. To be ready to defend herself because an attack was coming.
Sam wasn't being bitchy or evil for assuming that stance, she was being instinctive and reacting to pain.
In that moment of turmoil, heartbroken, and mind reeling because her main Cobra Kai enemy showed up unannounced. Tory reveals that the thing that had fueled the pain her family and friends have been suffering was a lie all along.
Cobra Kai's rise in power was based on a lie. Silver's dominium was based on a lie. Her father's assault was supported by a lie. Her parent's marriage crisis was based on a lie. It wasn't Tory's lie, but once again Tory had been complacent in it. To Sam, this is too much to accept, too much to forgive.
Tory had not chosen complacency out of the evilness of her heart, but again, only the audience knows that. Sam could not have reacted any other way. She had no reason to.
But it doesn't take long for it to change.
Miguel gives Sam a push to use her virtuousness to see past her own suffering and her own anger. Sam is capable of doing that rather quickly, proving her natural goodwill when presented in a proper context. For the first time, Sam has a little bit of information that we the audience already had for seasons.
It only took a small thing for her to choose to give the image of her nightmares the chance to come clean. Her heart was soft enough to allow it.
It takes undeniable inner strength and courage from this character to come to this point. We didn't get to see Samantha debating with herself over what Miguel said. We didn't get to see how she justified all of that to herself. But we got proof that it happened because she showed up. Miguel's words triggered her heart, it permitted her to challenge the very strong concepts she had about Tory -- and even with all that proof that Tory was unworthy of trust, Sam saw beyond herself. Tory had been evil to her, but Tory was much more than just her villain. Samantha couldn't have made the choice to listen to her if she also didn't detach that image from the blonde, and changed the point of view to a more mature approach.
I find it cheap and uninteresting -- even unfair --, that we are not being shown the step-by-step process of healing from these two. All we have are proof that these steps are happening. And I wanted to bring some light to Samantha LaRusso's good heart because the signs of it are always ignored by most of the audience.
Sam had not even a quarter of what the audience had to change her heart about Tory, but even with way less than us, and a history of trauma, she still made the noble choice.

what are some ways you show your love to eichi?
RAAAAGH UM okay well im going to be honest im super super clingy but i keep that in the caverns i try to hide how excited i get just from being around him but i'll still stand so close Sorry eichi im invading your personal space all the time. i really like to just be touching him somehow but if my feelings start to overwhelm me i'll just exist by him. fidgeting and staring at him admiring him.
also for some reason saying my affections to him in a romantic light feels so difficult even though i did it so much when we were just friends i'd tell him over and over that i love and adore him and he's the coolest ever etc etc AND I STILL THINK IT it just gets multiplied x5000 in my brain and i get red in the face when i just think about him. the most i can get out sometimes is just a quiet You're the best and then i feel so stupid and shut up forever. so a lot of the time to make up for that i'll get us matching stuff just cuz its funny and also i!!!! just wanna be a pair with him :] i like being associated with him i like him so much but alas my clinging clinger tendencies overwhelm me and i have to hiss at him and hide under the bed every 3 business days so i can be normal
