Energy Update: Solar Eclipse 21° Libra, 10/14/2023

Note: I've talked about eclipses many times before. I am going to make reference to past posts but try not to cross over too much of the same ground again. Please reference this post for more information.

On Saturday 10/14, we will experience a partial solar eclipse at 21° Libra. This is our first solar eclipse since the lunar nodes switched to the Aries-Libra axis during the month of July. In this way, this is a highly significant lunar event that will set the tone for the eclipse seasons to come over the next two and a half years.

The Set Up

October is an "8" month in a "7" year. During the eclipse, the Sun, Moon, and Mercury will be conjunct in Libra, Venus will be in Virgo, Mars in Scorpio, retrograde Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, retrograde Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, and Pluto in Capricorn. The asteroid Chiron is sitting in conjunction with our North Node in the sign of Aries. All of our outer planets will be in retrograde motion except for Pluto who stationed direct the Tuesday beforehand.

There are a number of transits in play during this lunar event:

Stellium: Sun, Moon, Mercury, and the South Node in Libra (5° orb)

Solar eclipse square Pluto in Capricorn (6° orb)

Mercury in Libra opposed to Chiron in Aries (01° orb)

Venus in Virgo opposed retrograde Saturn in Pisces (04° orb, exact Tuesday)

Mars enters Scorpio (Thursday)

Mars in Scorpio trine retrograde Saturn in Pisces (01°, exact Friday)

Pluto stations direct 27° Capricorn (Tuesday)

Retrograde Neptune in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn

Chiron conjunct the North Node in Aries (7° orb)

When determining the significance of transits, one should consider the most exact transits and all transits involving the lunar event to be highly significant. Second to that, we take into account aspects to our personal planets. Outer planet aspects will color the general feel of the day but will, for the most part, not impact our individual lives.

In this way, we should note a strong opposition between the stellium of our Sun, Moon, Mercury, and the South Node in Libra and Chiron and the North Node in Aries. Additionally, both Venus and Mars are in aspect with Saturn, our planet of restriction and boundaries.

The Nitty Gritty

This solar eclipse will have mixed energy as it combines the energy of new beginnings from the new moon with endings due to its conjunction with the South Node. There is a lot of pain close to the surface which may be stopping us from stepping forward into the new beginning that we are looking for (Chiron conjunct the North Node). This is your cosmic reminder that pain isn't always the STOP sign that we think it is, but instead is more of a check engine light.

Pain tells us that there is something that needs attention.

You may be holding on to something too tightly. Both Venus in Virgo and Mars in Scorpio will be in tight aspect with retrograde Saturn all week. Saturn is often known as the planet of restriction, but this is because he is Father Time. Saturn, like the lunar nodes, is closely associated with the concept of fate - but fate very rarely means what you think that it does. Time is relentless, always marching onwards. If the old adage is the only inevitabilities are death and taxes, Saturn controls both. Saturn is the reminder that as time goes on, some of the options that we kept on the back burner slip away.

Every opportunity in your life has a limited half-life. We just can't do everything. Eventually, we need to choose.

That's where the lunar eclipses come in. Everything is a choice; but eventually, if you don't make a choice, the world moves on. There is an element of analysis paralysis at play here (Libra's greatest weakness) - somebody needs to shit or get off of the pot, metaphorically speaking.

Eclipses are the Big Hitter transits of the year - they tend to feel so far beyond us that it can be overwhelming. Sometimes it can feel easiest to run from this energy or to disassociate and hide your head in the sand. That's not an option when Saturn is in play - Saturn demands that you put in the work in your own life.

It won't feel comfortable for anyone, but those who are showing up, who are trying to make changes, who are keeping their eyes wide open and witnessing their own life - those are the people who will shine through this lunation.

This isn't to say that they will be able to control how the eclipses show up in their lives. Eclipses are wild card energy; the best we can do is enjoy the ride. But if you've made right in your life, if you know what you need to let go of and what you need to draw in - you may recognize it when eclipses give you what you need.

The same old eclipse advice is in play here: Stay VERY AWARE of what doors open and close for you during the upcoming eclipses and the two weeks between these lunar events. Eclipses have a way of aligning you toward your life path (astrology is, in essence, a study of who you are and what you were born to experience in this lifetime). This isn't as restrictive an idea as people would like to believe: there is no one way to walk your "life path" - you always have free will and choice. Still, the natal birth chart especially does highlight the parts of life where you will find the most rich and meaningful experiences.

As the eclipse falls on the Aries-Libra axis, we all - collectively and personally - are struggling in some fashion with the conflict between being true to ourselves (Aries) versus being part of the collective (Libra). With Chiron so tightly in play, we can see that pain is close to the surface. You may find yourself questioning some things you were taught as a child by your family, religious group, or culture - especially if you are undergoing a Saturn return, square, or opposition.

Aries teaches us that it is right - even holy - to be our own true selves. The pain of this individualization process is being highlighted by Chiron and the North Node's conjunction in the sign of the Ram. Chiron shows us that it hurts while the North Node reminds us that we should do it anyway. The one person that you always need to be accountable to is yourself. (Libras especially may find that idea triggering)

In a very triggery week, it is worth remembering that triggers can be sacred things too - they show us the parts of ourselves that need attention. If you are in a space where it is safe to do so, try leaning into the pain rather than away from it. There is a lot to uncover in the weeds during this time.

There is no easy this week. Life is just like that sometimes. Practice your very best self-care if you need it. This energy will lift at the end of the month after we go through our eclipsed Scorpio full moon the weekend before Halloween.

I'M BAAAAAACK

Let's continue the missing part from anon's questions.

LET'S GO

Anyway anon. I'm in deeply sorry for late reply. Please don't be mad at me T_T

For me back to my previous rants over that vid of episodes 6. Oboi let himself quite and take a rest a little while to comprehend what he's done while splitting.

Since I thought elementals didn't have an official leader under Oboi, Oboi himself in my headcanon were in sleep paralysis during split. Letting his elementals do the job. So whenever they recombine, I always see Oboi as he just woke up and try to recollect all the dreams he saw.

There's a random hypothesis I came up with while watching movie 2 for the first time: That is Oboi's individual elementals exist and only exist as long as they live in Oboi's.

So when Retak'ka and Tok Kasa pulled them out, the elementals instantly went ... uuuh how you pronounce it? Torpidity? Becoming apparent death as a silent tool to its original owner. Same case when Ki'rana took Halilintar from Oboi via Satriantar's sword(?).

This is proven with how l did mention this before, Oboi is the first one who uses split technique. And the way he handled the elementals is like he treating the elementals like some sort of how people control emotions. This comment I stumbled upon beautifully encapsulates it.

Also I find it quite interesting and almost in a bit shock after Beliung incident and during battle in Gur'latan. The former one is showing how Oboi resigned in lending the Wind power to Lady Kuputeri. Beliung case reminded him a lot of Retak'ka, but I think it reminds him from the first time Angin got his 2nd Tier, Taufan.

(back to my other analysis here. With how huge the wind element that Boboiboy absorbed in Planet Windara, his overwhelming joy unconsciously took over Boboiboy)

Whereas the later is portraying Oboi's actually petrified that Halilintar will got the similar unexpected treatment for the third time!

(The way after he shout then comes a pleading voice right after that. I have a headcanon that the pleading voice was Halilintar's last second slipped in.)

If anything, I see both of them not as Oboi, but the real character of the elementals! | know the spoiler about Halilintar's. But I didn't expect to be this worse. (Now I can see why people went frantic about Halilintar at that issue :3).

It goes back to the picture | found on Pinterest. Please tell me the original link. I can't find it (the font whoever use it was hardly readable for me, I'm sorry ^^`)

This is also goes back to what I've mentioned with Boboiboy movie 1 & 2 review. Everytime he let off his hat. His also let his hidden "weakness" opens up.

But at the same time...

The moments his hat wears off is also to show his proofs as a hero for everyone and his family. Especially for his dad who Oboi's dearly missed. That's why he looked very mature whenever he fight without his hat.

His hat for me is resembles of Monsta's clingingness and guardedness 24/7 to make this series still be kids friendly.

If the season 2 ended with 3rd tier design like that. And movie 3 concept art of him being alone... I don't want any Monsta excuses to not upgrade their age ratings.

No.

You started it. So you face the consequences, Monsta >:(

Ehem.

And the elementals unknowingly helps him to achieve that. If I can make some wild headcanon: No, anon. I don't think the elementals wants to leave Oboi.

Not directly proven but their bondings with Oboi are too strong to divide. If anything, the elementals are unofficially being loyal to him. Movie 2 and galaxy season 2 for is already evident enough. (Also it's how Hang Kasa dreamed of with all elementals being unite to protect the galaxy. He couldn't be more proud when there's a boy did that indirectly. Just like how Gempa purposely being the leader of the elementals :'))

Also.

Linking to what I said about the amnesia problem on previous post. Oddly enough, for comic ver, Monsta didn't dwell further on this problem until Baraju arc. But then again in the same arc, Oboi's mental health hasn't detected any worrisome effects! And he CAN STILL FIGHT normally by using a new fusion not long after recombining??

Like-

bro-What?

Monsta didn't let Oboi fucking rest for the sake of introducing the last fusion, Sopan(Not to make any rudeness for Sopan, mind you. I honestly loves his design and attacks. The most unique design of all fusion if I say so myself). Holy shit both Blaze and lce just did a smash brawl shit and almost unleashed their final smash! If not because of Fang, both the temper duo and Oboi should be dead by now. Period.

#Youtube #bbbg #bbbglxs2 #bbb #boboiboy galaxy #boboiboy #I want to add pictures and rant but I'm having unusual writers block #Innalillahi I'm being too late and I'm having writers block for essay?!?!#Wtf???#menjawab anon

hey, i hope this isnt rude, but i value your thoughts on betty (and simon!) and i think about your various analytical pieces often.

so i hope this isnt too vague, but. ive been thinking about the ways betty and simon might differ from each other, specifically in the way they view...everything. do you think one of them has a 'sees the big picture but misses the small details' view and the other has a 'gets lost in the details, cant see the big picture' view? im not sure if they differ here, or if they are both the 'gets lost in the details' but going opposite ways...?

FINALLY getting around to awnsering this. i got sick so it took me even longer than i thought it would (had to wait until i could retain coherent thoughts)!!

Ok So, a lot of this is extrapolating (esp for betty) and goes very into more of a headcanons and Personal Interpretations area than a, like, canon analysis. in part bc the show dosen’t give us a ton of content of these characters (i mean, there’s plenty of simon content as ice king but im talking about pre and post ice king simon here). but yea im just gonna ramble. dont take this super seriously btw guys. again a lot of this is just personal Interpretation yknow

SO i think simon is definitely a “gets lost in the details guy”. at least like, overall. that man overanalyzes things until he goes into a state of paralysis and then he just passes out. in some ways he might better about this post being-freed-from-the-curse, on the basis of "had to survive the apocalypse by thinking on his feet", but also worse about it bc of the lasting impacts of having been ice king. because one of the Big Things about ice king is that he almost never thought anything through and just did things as soon as he thought of them. i think simon probably really wants to be Not Like Ice King and so might be scared of making choices too fast or acting too impulsive. i imagine he’s very worried about behaving like ice king and thats something thats in the back of his mind most of the time, impacting his confidence in his own choices & actions. but also f&c sorta shows that he has that issue of trauma responses causing him to have emotional outbursts and make quick decisions. so thats something to keep in mind.

i think he's, like stuck in a state of being scared to do things without thinking really hard abt them but then sometimes he does that and then he usually regrets it and feels really awful afterwards. not always guilty-awful even. f&c seems to show him feeling angry a lot. to me simon deals not just with guilt over being ice king or recovering from being ice king or Having strong reactions to things or making choices he regrets… but also with Anger At The Situation - a lot of feeling confused and not sure what to do and overwhelmed, i think . (i like that they let him be angry and frustrated, not just sad and depressed. i think this is very realistic to trauma related emotional responses)

the other thing abt simon is he tends to follow other people's lead on a lot of things. i think he just likes not having to deal with the pressure of making decisions. he seems more inclined to lead around f&c than around, like, finn, though. and betty. but i think that’s in part because he was taking on a protector role w them. but yeah. he does a lot of crazy shit in f&c but very noticeably does not really act as a lead decision maker. until they get to the vampire world and they get attacked for a second that man is yelling orders and breaking a chair over his knee and pulling out a pocket knife to carve it into a stake lighting fast. which i loved that. i loved that he gained so much confidence from being in Panic Mode when confronted w vampires Because those where something he had to deal with in the apocalypse when raising marcy. he had to know what to do for marcys sake. other than that tho he's usually making suggestions at most. and agreeing to do scary crazy shit lmao . EXCEPT he decides on his own in secret to try and contact golb . hehe (motivated by wants to see his wife)

(it also seems like when he feels more confident in something he's much more capable of making choices. (makes sense) he wasnt paralyzed by anxiety when going on that research expedition with betty, probably because he was literally getting a phd (or had a phd, the show was so weird abt that) in that subject. makes sense he knows what he's doing. and also is interesting bc in ep2 of fionna and cake when he goes on an Adventure with finn he's very scared and nervous, but then talks about how he "used to be quite the adventurer in [his] day", which fits into the theme f&c had w his character where he feels out of place and less confident bc his whole ass profession isn't really relevant anymore, and everything is so different from how it used to be. so yeah. current simon has even less self confidence and confidence in his own decision making than Back In The Day simon bc of that)

id like to say that…. i think that the fact that it took betty only a few years to summon and eldritch god to free simon from his curse meanwhile it took simon 12 years to get to the point where he kidnapped a guy to use in a summoning ritual to talk to betty is interesting. bc i really do think they both love each other, and are both obsessive and co dependent. but betty went off the deep end so fast, meanwhile simon took a lot longer to do something comparatively Less Evil for betty. i think that a lot of this is because simon is just less confident in his choices, more nervous about making decisions, and *slower* at making decisions. in part because of a obsessive focus on details (i also think a buncha other stuff contributed to the difference in how long it took betty vs simon to do differing levels of fucked up shit for eachother but Yeah that’s the relevant part.)

i wouldn't say betty is a "think about the big picture, ignore the details" person though, necessarily. maybe compared to simon she is, but she's still a huge fucking nerd. she's an academic! to me she's someone who takes issues and situations that are more subjective and translates them into concretely structured language in order to guide herself through what actions she should take (my friend responded to this with “so what youre saying is betty took a philosophy class and was like ‘aw yes! Math!’” and yeah that is exactly what im saying)

i feel like canon sort of implies this, and definitely doesn't Not Imply It, but i also think canon didn't flesh out her character very well, so in a lot of ways im making my own assertions. but i think she's the type of person who likes to view things in ways that are ....not necessarily less complicated, but more concrete? like she can handle an uber complicated math problem with ease, but the way a math problem is complicated is entirely different from the way a social interaction is complicated, you know. and she's way better equipped for the first one.

so, basically, i think betty would be like: Dosent see the bigger picture.... but in a different way from simon, where instead of getting caught up on and overwhelmed by all the little details, she picks a specific angle to view the situation and then focuses on That, often to the detriment of viewing things from a wider, more complex and nuanced perspective. so better at seeing the bigger picture than simon, but still can miss a Lot…

i also feel like she leans towards viewing things as "identify a problem/issue, then find away to eliminate it" and "identify a goal, and find a way to reach it" . like i feel like she'd tackle social and personal situations in this way. it's not like she can't do things for fun or anything, but like, if she upset simon she'd go into Solving A Problem Mode and be like: “The issue is Simon Is Upset. The goal is Make Simon Not Upset. First i have to identify Why simon is Upset, and then how to make him Not Upset. This is The Current Goal I Must Complete.” like, not in an abstract sense. like shes literally narrating that to herself. i think she likes to focus in on "what's wrong here and how do i fix it" as opposed to dwelling on emotions and exploring nuance. (which may be a contributor to how she ended up in that “there’s so little me left anymore” state by temple of mars: she was so focused on Fixing the Problem that she didn’t allow herself to really process her feelings too deeply and that took a toll on her mental health.)

simon is maybe more aware of nuance, which could be part of why he gets caught up on details because he's like "this CANT be properly categorized into something more straightforward, there's actually a billion TRILLION little details and that is stressful". like simon desperately wishes things could be simplified down more but is usually like "actually no, a million things are happening actually". he's like me he would get upset if asked to rate his pain or feelings on a number scale at the doctor (i can’t do that shit for the life of me. Those things are far too complicated to put on a number scale in my eyes). meanwhile betty just will force things into concrete categories and steps and factors that Make Sense To Her with intense fervor and if she starts to have a "this is too complicated to address" moment she feels threatened and then tries very hard to reprocess things in a way that is easier, or just does her best to ignore the things that make stuff too complicated to address

i think betty tends to view things in medium-sized chunks that incorporate some but Not All details in a situation, and that she cares about small details and being thorough but feels like accomplishing the goal is the most important thing, so is willing and able to make a quick decision if she feels it's the only choice. like. she had a limited time before the portal closed, and she chose to jump through it, because she thought "the problem is that im not with simon. simon is on the other side of the portal. ill go there" it's not that she doesn't like to think things through. she loves to think things through! its just that OVERALL she is a Doer who wants to solve the problem and thinks taking action and doing something is way better than sitting there and missing an opportunity. betty will think through the details if she has time, but if she doesnt, she just breaks things down into whatever is most easy to digest and process, and then takes the option that seems.like it will get the most desired outcome based on the available info. and also shes just very confident and headstrong. and THATS. why she punched bella noche

In my eyes betty likes having rules and defined, structured processes about what to do or how to deal with stuff. and she dosen’t really like changing those. she's very autistic. she hates change i think. so does simon. but i think that simon would be more likely to be like: the change in situation is so upsetting that it's making it harder to think and process things, so he just gets overwhelmed and has an even harder time addressing whatever is happening or comprehending it. meanwhile betty is quick to try and find the easiest way to rerout her thinking to fit the new change, she's just really fucking pissed off and stressed out about it (part of this to me is she hates feeling powerless & hates feeling like she might fail). she copes with changes in her surroundings by finding a way to connect the changed situation as well and as fast as possible with her pre existing methods of tackling situations. i think bettys also worse at handling changes in people than changes in situation. to quote my friend when we where texting about this “Situations dont have feelings”.

Like. Betty has so many skills. so much knowledge. but isn’t great with people. And she gets to know people and figures out how to understand them and then THEY CHANGE??? ILLEGAL. and so… like…this is literally her whole thing with simon!! elements seems to imply that betty originally views things as "simon is cursed, i have to fix the curse". but when she makes an attempt to meet simon where he’s at and try to interact with him as ice king, she is unable to handle it. she is upset that he is different, so much so that she concludes the only way to view things is to see them as separate people, even though it was implied that she wasn't doing that before! she was approaching it like he was Simon With Memory Loss…..but then she does her villain betrayal scene and now she's all "things will be back to just me and simon, and you won't exist" . meaning before she directly started interacting with him, she was able to view him as simon, but when she did interact with him for an extended period of time and found out how different he had become, she felt so threatened by this that the only way she could handle it was by switching her view in order to not have to confront the idea that simon could have changed that much. it also meant switching her view to a place where she would be okay hurting simon. but when he starts to protest, get upset, ask what's wrong, and worst of all, insist that he's worthy of respect, that starts to stress her out and she has to talk out loud to herself to reassure herself that she's doing the right thing

and in that scene simon goes "i don't know who this simon guy is, im ice king", which i think is a Big line - he's responded to simon in the past, but doesnt always. Like. he's inconsistent in whether or not he's aware that's a way of referring to him, which makes sense bc he seems to have memory lapses where he remembers things fine one minute and forgets them the next, them remembers about them way later. anyway having him say that simultaneously provides a Confirmation of bettys new perspective, but it also… isn’t meant to. i feel like, to the audience, its saying that "simon has changed so much, he's entirely different now. and this is the way things are, and betty should accept this, but she cant" . to betty its telling her she’s right, but that kind of sucks, because she’s not totally sure how much she wants to be right (she dosen’t want this to be simon, but she also dosen’t want simon to be gone)

(i think the idea of betty Swapping her perspective abt simon during elements as a coping strategy to deal w the panic of What If Simon Is Different + the moral dilemma of potentially hurting him fits nicely into the "betty has bpd" interpretation . my girl is splitting)

(also ik many people interpret simon and ice king as Literally being entirely different people but tbh i think that is way less interesting and doesn't make a lot of sense with the canon. but also ik this is partially because what people consider to be "different people" is subjective. like it depends somewhat on ur perception of identity and stuff. also having different interpretations is valid and fair and all that - and adventure time is often very loose in its text and there’s lots of ways to interpret it. but whatever man im just saying my feelings and That is and Always Will Be the Same guy to me and i think that perspective is waay more interesting to explore than simon getting possessed by an alternate personality or whatever. so im just going under that interpretation….. i think some ppl would perceive the "im ice king" line as being a conformation of them as separate people but to me it's a more abstract representation of the idea that a Drastic Change has taken place that Cannot be reversed!!.... which. Ok eventually it is but tbh i doubt they even knew how they'd end the show by this point and i still think in the context of elements it still works very well as a way driving home both how betty is Not Handling the Situation Well while also making you empathize with her bc u also know how hard that must have been for her to hear)

i think betty is very person-oriented in a unique way!!she's codependent while also being low empathy, introverted, and in many ways socially inept, which is an interesting combo! i really get the vibe that she has always struggled socially and had trouble fitting in, so attaches really heavily to people who she does feel a connection to, and works really, really hard to maintain the relationships she has. i like to think she’s scared of rejection…

i think simon is much more empathetic, emotion-driven, and in tune with others than betty, but i also think he can be Very bad at actually understanding other people on many levels - like with his obliviousness to betty being interested in him romantically until she spelled it out for him, or to the impact of bettys earlier sacrifices. simon also, with the mission to get the crown in f&c, despite his empathetic nature and love for his friends, does not seem to consider that putting the crown on would upset his friends. This shows a "focusing on one thing and missing something else" scenario, and perhaps more of a "thinking abt the big picture" (saving f&c's world) over the details (friends would be sad) thing. so that's interesting. (although i think part of this example in particular stems from his self hatred preventing him from really thinking that his friends would be upset if he did that. but in a sense it is focusing on big picture over details). So theres some nuance there i think

BUT Anyway, i think this issue probably is mainly with him struggling to read people, or fully understand others perspectives, despite caring deeply about people and feeling Upset when he can tell other people are Upset. he cares and he feels very emotionally connected to people, especially people he cares about…. he just isn't that great at picking up on things sometimes. (also. Worth noting, i think its def shown that while simon may be very caring towards his friends and is a generally nice and approachable, well meaning person who wants whats best for other people. He still is very capable of Hating People and Doing Bad Things On Purpose. Don’t want to ignore that. also hes very desensitized to bad things happening in many respects lmao. So its not like hes just always super nice and caring and amazing. He still murdered choose goose to death and That is via the power of choose goose being annoying and Simon Loving Betty)

Betty also struggles to understand other people but instead of being downright oblivious to certain things or being unsure and nervous she finds relating to people and understanding their actions and emotions to be actively difficult and makes an active effort to understand people in a bit of a scientist-looking-at-a-subject way. Which can be helpful sometimes and less helpful other times. like. it's good that she has a way to navigate social interactions . but also that way of addressing things isn't always conductive to a healthy relationship, especially when she doesn't really let simon in on the fact that she's making these sort of analyses where she's like "what will maximize Simon Being Happy and how do i accomplish this" sometimes to her own detriment. simon is just like "wow betty is so confident and good at knowing what she wants" meanwhile betty is like "i will make the best choice For Simon" betty i think is better than simon at reading people but not good at Empathizing With Others Emotions or really Understanding or relating to the emotions behind their actions .

she also is shown to, despite caring So much about simon, not be very considerate or caring towards others (not the same as being low empathy & etc dw im not equating them. Its just on the topic of How She Views Others!!!). To be fair, we don’t see nearly enough of her interacting with people besides simon, but i like to think that she just sorta struggles to really care about and have compassion for Random People but deeply cares about those she is Really close too (but as far as we know, thats just simon)

OVERALLi think they see the world very similarly in some ways and very differently in others and it's an interesting balance. also they are both Autistic. In cconclusion !!

betty

likes to break things down into concrete concepts because she struggles to comprehend more subjective and nuanced experiences, especially in social situations + Feels more comfortable approaching things from a “scientific” perspective because it is familiar and easy for her to navigate; threatened by uncertainty and comforted by things that are more straightforward and well-defined

doesn't dwell on things a ton (esp not as much as simon) because she's very goal-oriented and focused on the Now. she wants to get to the next step. that often then means ignoring Her Own Feelings Or Needs if she deems Other Things to be more relevant or important than them (not good for your mental health) + this also means she’s better at making quick decisions! she cares about details and prefers to have All The Relevant Info but is willing and able to cut things down to a “wider-picture” that helps her make whatever choices will help her achieve her goal - that wider picture just may not always be the Full Actual wider picture.

struggles to put herself in other people's shoes - finds it easier to view herself as an outside party with the goal of achieving the ideal outcome in a social situation. In general has low empathy and struggles to understand/relate to others feelings, which impacts her perspective on things and how she handles/views situations.

(not really mentioned earlier but idk where else to put it:) i also think she has that Autism Trait where you focus in on a specific goal you want to achieve and struggle to focus on anything else until it's accomplished (and that that sort of thinking pattern happened with curing simons curse). where you put off doing anything, even things you could do, until something that you Need to happen (according to your brain, not the real world) happens. Betty put off being person until simon was saved. she put Everything on hold until she accomplished her mission. and this is in a way a form of not seeing the bigger picture, because its overly focusing on a specific thing at the expense of others

(bettys better at balancing seeing the details & the big picture in a sense, but more like. she picks a medium sized chunk of what is going on and focuses on that and acknowledges details when able to but is willing and able to make split second decisions based on little info and is confident in doing so. but whereas i think simon might have more of a "sees the whole big picture but then gets caught up on the details" thing going on, i think betty just straight up focuses on One Portion of something, of varying sizes, which could or could not he considered a "detail", but then almost completely ignores everything else, viewing things as individual challenges or events that need to be addressed before anything else can be)

simon

is someone who really likes to think things through, and can easily get hung up on details and can easily get overwhelmed by those details and sent into a state of anxiety-fueled-spiraling or decision making paralysis

this is worse probably for Current simon because he’s also Trying To DIstance Himself from his identity as ice king, and as ice king he had no impulse control and thought things through very little. so simon likely puts even more pressure on himself to think things through! unfortunately hes also Going Through A Lot Emotionally and sometimes that’s too much and he Dosen’t think things through and just acts on how he’s feeling. And that makes him feel Worse about himself and just Everything in general

he is more confident with his decision making skills if he feels more prepared/knowledgeable on the subject at hand or is taking on a caretaker role (like with marcy, or f&c). but currently he dosen’t have a lot of that going on so that kinda sucks for his self confidence.

simon is better at empathizing with people than betty & at creating connections with others & is more caring towards people he dosen’t know that well - and so may consider Other People more in his perspectives on things. But on the other hand hes not always the best at reading people or understanding their perspectives, even if he feels emotional connections and cares about people, so he can easily overlook other people’s struggles or perspectives within an issue - even if he cares deeply about their wellbeing (very relevant to his relationship with betty)

he’s generally more emotion driven than betty, and dwells on & ruminates about his feelings, sometimes to the point of obscuring his understanding of a situation or his ability to engage with it. On The Other Hand this means he at least acknowledges how he’s feeling meanwhile betty is like “im classifying that as irrelevant information until further notice” lmao.

he’s better at understanding nuance & subjectivity than betty but this contributes to his habit of getting-overwhelmed by everything & Overthinking

(simon focuses on details over the big picture overall. he easily gets caught up in details and panics. he traps himself in cycles of worrying about details that can paralyze him when making decisions, and so prefers to not have to make choices. BUT simons "paralyzed with fear of making decisions" state can often be overturned by the power of Having Strong Emotions and his decisions may be Less Good because of the power of not being great and understanding other people. he's very emotion-driven and currently suffering from a billion mental health issues so sometimes all that gets in the way of his natural over-thinking. hes got a better understanding of nuance than betty & is better at Empathizing with others and more considerate but not all too great at reading them or recognizing others Feelings or Behaviors)

I THINK I REPEATED A LOT IN THIS. AGAIN, KIND OF JUST RAMBLING. HOPEFULLY IT WAS SOMEWHAT COHERENT

I was just wondering if you still had the same thoughts on my type from this new questionnaire:

I still see ISFJ, but you could be 9w1 instead of 6w5. Some of this seems very sp/so 9w1.

•I have been struggling for six years to figure out my mbti type. I end up just stuck in analysis paralysis and I need constant input and proof but I’m not finding it. <- 9s and 6s struggle the most to land on their type, in part because 9s have to fight through an inner 'haze' to determine they are 9s, not realizing that inner confusion and reluctance to commit or land IS 9-ness.

• I want to look perfect. <- 1 wing, possible 3 fix

I work out all the time. <- sp

I crave to experience the moment but I have no idea how. I’m trapped in my own head and analysis and imagination. <- introvert without Se, possible Ti, 9-ness disassociation

I feel sad Out in public because it feels like I’m missing out on life. I can’t get over this lonely existential feeling <- 9 to the hilt.

•I don’t express emotions well and I remain quiet. <- more 9?

I don’t know how to get close to people <- weak social skills

•I have a hard time making decisions. Whenever I’m with company I struggle because I don’t want to pick an option they don’t like. <- attachment core, very 9 because it seems like avoidance of conflict or letting people down vs 6 insecurities about feeling threatened, could also be Fe-ish

•despite the fact that I don’t know how to make decisions like I should, I’m amazing with deadlines, responsibility, and studying. I’m always prepared for school. I study non stop and I want to be perfect <- strong J type and super-ego/1, again probably a 3 fix

•I love to focus on my same daydreams but I feel like In the real world I do the same things over and over. I don’t do new things and I used to escape through things like drinking. <- sensor/ strong Si, also more 9-ness in terms of inertia / not taking initiative to get what you want or try new things

•I make decisions for my parents. <- Fe thinking (our lives connect, what I do affects them, I need to make decisions with them in mind)

I don’t date or party because I know they don’t approve and I want them to think of my future career and approve. <- Fe again

• I’m focused on my future and want some things without a doubt: like to be a dad is my number one goal <- Si goal, tbh. It's concrete, it's doable, it's expected/encouraged within society. Anyone can want to be a parent, but SJs feel the most benefit from it, because they see it in terms of that's how you leave a legacy, continue on the family tree, build a life, this is what's desired and normal and stable.

• mostly I’m just academic focused, imaginative, in my head, wanting to explore my environment but I don’t know how <- lack of Se, more 9 ness, playing the role of an observer, withdrawn type

• I see myself as always being alone and it’s why I throw myself into my career <- again, 9. You've given up (prematurely), because going for what you want would be disruptive to your inner peace / comfort zone. Don't do this. If you want to be a dad, get out of your comfort zone and pursue relationships.

•I am afraid of new environments and tend to do the same things <- Si

You don't have to sit on the sidelines. Decide what you want and go get it.

If you’re still doing the OC ask game, can you do 2 for Avery, 6 for Luna, and 16 for Riza?

2. What are your OC’s food preferences (flavors/textures/spiciness/calories/ when and how they eat) and how did they get that way?

Avery is a really easy person to feed because he’s not picky at all. Having grown up on Perpetua, he’s been exposed to and found an appreciation for a lot of different cultural dishes thanks to how the members come from all sorts of backgrounds. That, combined with being raised with Minerva's ‘everything in moderation’ + ‘try anything at least once’ approach to food, it's hard to find stuff he absolutely will not eat.

Flavour generally matters more to him than texture, and he doesn’t think too much about calories unless something looks/sounds insanely calorically dense.

That being said, if asked to pick from a menu, his choices would be a little boring. He might take the spicy option (now that he has a ‘resistance’ to a capsaicin, he WILL reap the benefits because it’s more fun that way).

But he’s also equally likely to pick the ‘default’ or ‘classic’ option because he’s not picky to the point where he doesn’t have strong preferences for almost anything (unless, say, he’s going for some kind of ‘vibe’). He’s also liable to order things with the expectation that someone else might want to sample from him.

6. What would STOP your OC from Doing the Right Thing in a tense situation?

The boring answer is ‘nerves’ or ‘he suffers from analysis paralysis when trying to figure out the best outcome’.

In an ideal world, Captain Luna is a perfect moral paragon and nothing would stop him from doing the Right Thing except the gods themselves. He always strives to do the Right Thing, and sometimes he can’t for whatever reason, be it nerves, or stretching himself too thin when trying to figure out the best outcome. Maybe the cost is too high, or he has to focus on the big picture rather than personal impact, the needs of the many vs those of the few. Even if the Right Thing is not achieved, what matters is that he tried and that he retains his personal innocence.

But of course, the world is not ideal, because the man is more than capable of holding a grudge. Even if the grudge is justified (see: that with the Wither King), he’s not immune to the catharsis of watching a bastard go down in cruel and sometimes unusual ways. He tries to hold off on it, because he recognises that a hard punishment that doesn’t really do anything to address the issue is just an excuse to torture someone, but dang, does it feel good, especially if he already hates them.

It's unlikely that anyone would ever find themself in this situation, considering that Luna finds forgiveness to be more beneficial for all parties involved, but god help you if you manage to seriously cross him.

16. How strong or weak is your OC’s Impulse control? What’s the worst thing that happened because of their Impulsivity or inability to be so?

Riza's impulse control isn’t great, and she’s prone to doing things on a whim if she has the energy. Usually it’s mundane, little things, like deciding stay up late to watch a slasher film, painting her nails a different colour, cropping her shirts, scaring people with her invisibility powers, nabbing stuff from stores because she thinks it’s funny (technically shoplifting, but ‘everything on Perpetua is an art piece so it doesn’t really matter’). Y’know, little things.

Though despite all of this, she doesn’t come across as particularly impulsive (not like Icarus or how some other members more obviously are) because she generally tends towards laziness. She doesn’t usually go around pocketing random things, but it’s less due to an absence of an urge to do so, rather than thinking about it and subsequently deciding not to.

Riza's impulsivity hasn't really gotten her into major trouble yet (maybe just Alice being disappointed in her + making her work more), but that just might be because Alice doesn't let her in any important control rooms with levers and big red buttons.

#globeland perpetua #asks #thank you!! sorry this took a while ive been a bit held up with life rn (and it takes a while to come up with answers im happy with LOL)

4x23 always

Liveblog

ooh <3 always, great title!

I can't believe it has been a whole season since the shot! Good recap sequence!

Ok lmao both my father & I have fallen down mountains before. You cannot catch yourself like that, & if you do then you are probably able to swing yourself to the side to land on that balcony there. Like you can see, she pulls herself to get a better grip there!

But once one arm falls, you need to pull it back up & grab a different (non-sweaty) part of the ledge. & while yes your fingers are strong, you would do better to Bring Up Your Other Hand

Ok def sounded like castle not "man" as the captions said, then it sounded like "someone" pretending to be castle, then it sounded somewhat like castle again. (first "beckett" might have been SD told to speak like castle, could have been a different person told so. Then it was def not castle, then it was someone pretending to be castle & then the "hang on" was castle again.)

Still tho, I don't much like the unrealistic hanging scene. Actually no I really did like it & I can find reasonable excuses for the stuff I find unreasonable. It's cool.

3 days earlier

no caps. I love it.

Alexis <3 <3 <3

oh lmao she is valedictorian. I sometimes relate castle & alexis to me & my mom, but in this situation mum is alexis (smart val) & I'm castle (barely passed).

or TWILIGHT! *blinks*

RC: You know, the most worthwhile things in life are often the most difficult. For example…

*phone rings from beckett*

RC: Wow, that really is a smart phone.

btw love the golden light

KB, with a bomb cute jacket: you're probably the guy who had nothing on but boxers underneath his gown.

Me: *ran away from my graduation & climbed my way on top of a giant dumpster/storage pod*

RC: That is so insulting. If you must know, I was naked underneath.

THEY ARE GOING ON A DATE A DATE A DATE

KB: You coming, Castle?

SDFHSKJDHF I LOVE IT

Hm, two shots...

Love a shoe thing

Ooh lockpicks. Nice. I finally picked one of my locks the other day. I was using my rake tho, not my feeling peg so I would not be easily able to recreate it. I want one of those clear locks that you can see through.

Cazadores, love it when they tap the r.

Ryan is not super pretty rn

lmao poor guy down on his luck broke af, goes into the military? Sounds about right. Screw the military, this poor kid.

Captions were missing the accent on the N

Marisol? parasol? paraplui? paranormal? paralysis? analysis? synthesis? Synthwave? Literally my little brother & I went down a thought path like this. we both have adhd btw. I can't remember what thoughts came after that but we got all the way to fruit-by-the-foot.

How old is she?

I believe her.

F yeah girl. They keep blaming him & you just want to get the one who killed him.

They are so wrecking the crime scene lol.

Love how he smells the gun to see if it was fired recently ugh so good.

MONTGOMERY'S HOUSE???

Love how beckett & espt know his address but ryan looks shocked & castle (who was friends, or at least acquainted with montgomery before the show) did not know.

That was ryan not esposito who said that. This time I could tell.

Doesn't he have three kids? These pics are so weird. Roy, his wife, an older daughter, some boy... oh maybe it is a boyfriend. The baby boy would be what like 5 by now?

Girl I hope it is Not Loaded. In canada you need to have your gun locked up, though on the farm we would only lock up the bullets not the gun.

Love her.

So he knew when they were out of the house.

Btw I love espt's scar on his forehead & beckett's mole on her cheek, both give a little bit of Character to them.

Well obv this is going to be a plot heavy episode, but now is about the time I'd say it has to do with beckett not just roy & his files.

It has been like a year, or almost a year, why would you still have his old work files? nvm a year is a really short period of time

Her handwriting right now...

also I like her turtleneck.

I mean it COULD be a coincidence & it could be just for their own personal gain like maybe some rando roy put in jail & it is not actually related to johanna (in fact it makes things harder for The Big Bad Guy bc now Rando has the files)

Castle is still here, he did not leave after all <3.

She is stirring her coffee so smoothly.

KB: Say something reassuring.

RC: There are thousands of break-ins in New York City every year.

He's right: "Montgomery worked hundreds of cases. Just because this guy was after files doesn't mean he was after your mom's case."

Castle now might be the time to tell her

Green intro. Remind me to take a pic of that

Martha <3

Ooh transition! Murderboard to murderboard!

Yeah no she looks tired af.

Holding hands & they are not quite together yet but aaaah

Esposito looks nice & ryan looks incredible. Must pic this.

They blamed gangs for johanna's murder too

A MONTH after mongt was killed!?

That door really WENT. they BLEW IT UP.

Finally! They are wearing helmets!

Esposito *gets file* *face goes*

Ryan *what???? what is it?* *takes file* *face also goes*

RC: Well at least that's something. What was the crime scene?

JE: It was a shooting.

Me: ...!

their faces upon telling her, you can see how much they love her

Ryan's hands dangling there like that.

You can see ryan feeling conflicted abt this.

RC: Maybe you should be off this case.

Me: So true bestie

He brings out the first name. He loves her so much & wants her to be safe. In fact, castle has confided in him, like that time he asked ryan to keep an eye out for stuff related to johanna's murder but didn't tell becks nor espt.

(that was a weird way of pronouncing "why")

Esposito is right tho in the sense that nothing will stop her. (Except maybe castle telling her that someone forced him into a deal for her life.)

(also ryan's hair & the way he avoids eye contact)

I think I remember seeing something in the s5 bloopers but this is s4... hmm weird. I'll clip it for u tho.

No the heck you do not hold all the cards...

Who is "they"?

tbh smith is kind of unhelpful with that. I mean the rest of it was good but... idk man.

also like, they just killed another person. a thief. How many more people are they going to kill if they don't get taken down? Beckett would SO be willing to put her life in (temporary) danger to take down this ring that not only wants to kill her but also other ppl sometimes. Is her one life worth more than the lives of so many others who die because of this? They are turning a blind eye on so many things to let her live...

Interesting lighting. like the scene with alexis.

Girl he is more afraid of Them than of you.

Oh or not or he's telling her stuff

"make him whole" interesting words

Same "they"?

He KNEW he would come back to the gang & he accepted that price? Even tho he literally said he just wanted the loan? & the wife said he would not get into that?

Vincente Delgado, being poetic: Caught a glimpse before the night swallowed him whole.

KB: Yeah, but how did they know [he was desperate for money]? How do they know his background?

Me: bc they can tap into police files?

JE: Because they knew him from the military. He was hired by somebody he knew.

Me: or that

RC, trying to keep everyone safe: But whoever's gotten close to that secret is dead. I think it's clear we're in over our heads here.

JE: Speak for yourself, bro.

of course she is. If you get a mysterious $10k & don't question it & then your husband ends up dead you too would run.

Oh no the poor son!

WHAT is going ON with the lighting?

Also this room needs to be brighter than the observation room.

GIRL NO. WE ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH NATIVE KIDS IN THE FOSTER SYSTEM

Captions come on, I want to read what she said! I'm hard of hearing but I am NOT monolingual! If hearing people can understand the spanish, I WANT TO SEE THE SPANISH.

Someone military.

Getting files from the dead cop's house.

Montgomery would DEF have duplicate files hidden somewhere of the important files at least.

I love a good church. We have a native church where I live & it serves as the base church for other ethnic churches. The huge & popular italian church got its start here, the eritrean church is still in here just getting started... Plenty of good programs. It is a great church. It is one of the few churches I feel comfy going to, as a queer fnmi christowitch.

They just happen to sit near the back of the church?

& he just happens to show his face?

You can just go through the files manually.

What does cid stand for btw?

KR: How are we supposed to investigate if we can’t investigate?

My little bro while I had it paused: "I work in homicide." 'YOU KILL PEOPLE?'

Nice zoom there, love it, going into her window murderboard.

Wow a lot of shots from the past there, love it.

Oh & now we see castle doing castle investigation at home!

& we also see esposito doing investigation at night in the precinct, which kind of sucks for him, he hasn't gone home yet. (Also they haven't made his apartment set yet lol)

What is that, a pair of pliars? A razorblade?

& we don't get to see ryan investigating?

Wow he shows up at her house & esposito called her & he was ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THAT IT WAS A KEYCHAIN?

But at least it's a haystack.

He's going to tell her!

& he is not talking about mental health.

Ok so now Tell Her!

RC: Before Montgomery went into that hangar, he sent a package to someone, someone…he trusted. It contained information damaging to the person behind all this. Montgomery was trying to protect you. But the package didn’t arrive until after you’d been shot. Montgomery’s friend…struck a deal with them. If they left you alone, the package and the information inside would never see the light of day. But they made one condition—you had to back off. And that’s the reason you’re alive, Kate, because you stopped.

He's crying he loves her he really does.

Ok chill! Also he was not the one striking the deal! He was a pawn!

Yeah I thought he was behind the murder too but he could not have been bc why would he SAVE kate? maybe he is NOT saving her but he is preventing her from looking into it.

Yeah bro now is not the time to bring it up

(but I always love a "because I love you" & it is always SO good)

RC: How are you s—? Because of everything we’ve been through together! Four years I’ve been right here. Four years just waiting for you to just open your eyes, and see that I’m right here…and that I’m more than a partner. Every morning, I—I bring you a cup of coffee just so I could see a smile on your face, ((AAA <3 <3 <3)) because I think you are the most…remarkable…maddening…challenging…frustrating person I have ever met. And I love you, Kate, and if…that means anything to you, if you care about me at all, just don’t do this.

KATE NO HE WAS NOT THE ONE WHO CUT THE DEAL LIKE YOU WERE A CHILD. MONTGOMERY DID BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU LIKE HE IS YOUR FATHER. AAAAAAAGH

Actually yk what? He should have told her ages ago that someone struck a deal & she would have to back off. Except she would not have listened, just like this conversation now.

KB: Let them come. They sent Coonan, and he is dead. They sent Lockwood, and he is dead. And I am still here, Castle! And I am ready!

Ugh I had to stop my watch (which was the plan in the first place anyway) but I had the opportunity to try on my computer, I wanted to finish watching the ep & maybe post some photos that I could more easily get, but the issue is the library DVDs we have are blue ray. My computer won't play them. So yeah that's fun. I ended up doing some recording for the audiobook which I have not worked on in over a year. (About since I've been on T.)

Ok good morning I have work at 16.00 (so I need to leave before 14.45) & it is only 10 right now so I have plenty of time. But ofc I am working until midnight so that sucks pine sap. Tho I will be let off 15 minutes early so I can get home w/o breaking the law.

sdfjkfdhdsjkhhdffdkash aaaaaaah hdskjhfdska;euvn

& alexis is graduating... I cannot believe it is 2012. I mean half of 09 (s1 was short), all of 10, all of 11, & "all" of 12 (tho it has kind of only been 6m of 2012 bc she is graduating now in june)

I put my graduation tassle on my bike helmet. I rode my back to school during the warm months & I had an extra year of high school after graduating so I got to bike to school boasting that I graduated.

AC: I have watched or read every graduation address ever written and compiled all the best advice into one speech,

Me: Good idea, you overachiever

AC: and then I read it out loud. And guess what I sounded like? A pompous ass.

Me: Yeah

AC: I’m eighteen years old. What the hell do I know?

Me: You are correct, you are missing a lot more life experience than you will end up with, but you have a lot of experience now & your current speech will be relevant to the people who are here in this situation.

That's one of the reasons I stayed in high school for an extra year, I did not feel ready. I mean I also was not ready in the sense that I needed to upgrade courses but other than that I also did not feel ready on a psychological level. As an adhder my brain develops more slowly so at 18 I had the executive functions of like a 12 year old. That last year was great. I was legally an adult, I had mstured since g10, I knew the people & teachers, I was willing to accept help but I had also grown more independent, & I had gained the respect of people/staff. I was not some baby googoo gagaa, they were not robot overlords, we were people. Equals as people, though they had authority over me.

Oof fidgeting with the ring hhh

The lighting again.

They don't know what happened last night to get castle off the team & they are thinking "he would NEVER abandon beckett like that" so they know smth bad happened.

Cole Maddox.

But they looked him up so don't They know they're coming for him now?

I like how ryan is watching beckett this entire time through here, he is not looking at the driver's license he is watching beckett

Also since the tiger don't they need to tell ppl where they are going?

(also ryan's sweater is great)

Becks used to be the goody two shoes & now ryan is arguing her to go the pro way

The ether?

Wow it has been 13 years!?

First names

IDK IF YOU DO GOT THIS

"or the entire graduation" I mean like it is fine lmao

WHO from the 12th?

RYANNNN

beckett SAID he was off the team but ryan didn't believe her, he knew castle would help, like that time beckett got montgomery to kick him out & then monty still got castle back to pick her up & take her away from the hangar.

But now ryan probably thinks castle truly is NOT on the team anymore

Y'all at least wearing vests?

"get out of the way" lmao

Girl grab it & go OR un-ass the place

Oof those sexy Xs on the place

I thought they said this place was clear

Wow that was way too easy. he just Took Down both of them.

So he comes in from the front door I think. Maybe the door to the kitchen actually bc becks falls in the living room it looks like. He grabs her & smacks her against the wall, then she falls the other direction & drops her gun, which slides over to where the doorman is lying too; then esposito comes up trying to attack the guy near the door again, arms out probably trying to take a gun or maybe maddox is the one who had the gun, Madx twisted espt to the side, then looks like he maybe kneed him in the gut & threw him down to the floor too. esposito is left reeling, doesn't look unconscious.

My little bro: Savais! ("know" in french) Javier!

back to the fight scene: becks then pushes herself on the floor to grab her gun. Madx is already running away. She gets up & runs after him, then he is already running up the stairs when she shoots at him.

You can tell they had multiple sets to film this here bc suddenly they are on a roof. Lighting is fun. I'd like to hear this episode commentary by the lighting one. (Sorry, I don't watch the credits most of the time.) Well, it is also plot heavy so I'd like to hear the writer & director but shush, I want Every episode with commentary, & I want some of my fave episodes commented on by several groups. I want to hear the actors, I want to hear the writer producer & director, I want to hear the DP & lighting one & the set designer & costume designer...

Also her gun. When did she cock it & turn the safety off? I would not feel confident running like that with a loaded cocked gun like that.

She could stop for a second & shoot him... I'm sure she could make the shot.

Oh wait she does.

Look up. He probably climbed it & is going to jump you from the top.

& he probably does climb it bc he managed to get behind u.

Why does he pick her up like that? If I were him I'd use my Cool Military Training to karate chop her shoulder & knock her out.

Ooh now that was a great scene, he flips her over his shoulder & she rolls & we see it from a bird's-eye angle of destiny long shot thing? So good.

There we go he finally kicks the gun away from her, but why kick with your foot? Kicks are not useful so high, they should always be low. Chi geuk or whatever.

She is really wailing on him & he is just Fine.

Kick him in the balls hun.

lol I slowed down the video & that kick was... well. Again, don't kick the face, kick the nuts. I cannot tell if he dodges it or if he gets kicked & doesn't flinch.

Also what happened there? She goes to attack him but the camera pans down & his hand is just kind of Out & she falls?

Solar plexus? Winded her?

XD the way he just picks her up

For a sec I thought they were going to kiss

Grab her gun & shoot her? Bro come on.

The people on the street was a good choice in filming this.

(why is he just waiting there?)

(I said that out loud & lil bro said "because he's Powafull!!")

btw where is eposito? Was he knocked out there? He didn't seem unconscious. If Becks got up & came out here, surely espt (even if he was unconscious for a few seconds) could be coming up to help... UNLESS MADDOX HAS ACCOMPLICES THAT ARE KIDNAPPING OR KILLING ESPOSITO RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK

KB: Just tell me who’s behind this.

As if there is One person, which doubtless there is not

CM: You’re wasting your time, Detective. You have no idea what you’re up against.

KB, hot af: Neither do you.

*tries a sort of double takedown which really just fails*

& now is the start of the episode. Why doesn't he kill her tho? Long live the king mufasa style?

Oh I see. She DOES catch herself for a moment on the big ledge, making her slow enough in falling to catch herself a second time.

Like you can see she readjusts her hand! She should start side-bar-ing to the balcony to her right.

Your fingers are surprisingly strong. She is doing all this flailing & readjusting & gripping that she should totally inch her way to the right

Ooh the music

Ooh a pushzoom

Maybe growing up with parents who rock climb made me too smart.

Losing one hand might make you swing which can be dangerous but girl Bring Your Hand Back Up. Hold on with TWO hands. Unless catching absolutely ruined your tendons so you can hold on as long as it is up there but as soon as your arm fell you can't pick it up again.

She is yelling for castle not esposito who is Actually There

I already went over the voices, but this time I went over them with my little bro. Whose voice did they use when? Was it Dever trying to sound like castle?

The wedding ring!

Also y'all, if someone is falling, you do NOT have the weight to keep them up. You need to anchor yourself.

See the only reason ryan did not also fall was bc ppl were holding HIM.

Again good music

(also upon slowing it down you can see the uh.. consistency in grabbing someone falling. Have you ever done that bar trick where you get someone to catch a bill? They cannot do it. In fact, we did a similar thing in biology class. They cut & zoom in a little bit. They make ryan's sleeve into beckett's sleeve somehow.)

Castle is not here babe. It sounded like castle bc you were on the brink of death.

& gates there. She looks mad, not concerned that becks almost fell off a building

At least someone else's hand comes in there too to help her up.

& NOW beckett reaches up her other hand.

See? they have ryan & the other one down low holding up beckett & then there are also (at least) two others who are holding THEM up.

The thing is, ryan would probably be too low to pull her up, he was just holding her up. The other one helped by taking off some of the weight & pulling so that ryan could reposition himself & use his weight to pull her up.

You can see tho that she stops *there* once her elbows are on the ledge. It is hard to lift someone up. They would need to lift her up enough that she can do a pullup & get her elbows on the ledge. Then they probably grip her shoulders/upper arms to help her up while she pushes up with her arms & gets friction with her feet. Then she would roll onto the ground. & THEN she would stand up & they would be face-to-face. I would honestly like to try out smth like this (in a safe environment) to see how it works for myself rather than my logic limited experience. I want more exp.

Ryannnnnn!

(again with the lighting)

I mean yeah communication is important babes. I'm surprised she doesn't fire them.

Also esposito looks so saddddd.

VG: Don’t you “sir” me!

XD idk why I find that so funny

they don't even wear uniforms tho lol.

Girl don't resign. Don't do this you're emotional.

btw esposito in the t-shirt is great.

She looked at the badge so fondly there before resigning.

Ooooof alexis' speech over this ending? immaculate.

Wow I really feel that.

oof she looks back at the chair castle sits in hhhh

(btw they took esposito's gun but not the extra magazines he has on his belt.)

*Esposito walks angrily past Ryan and grabs his coat.*

KR, sitting on his desk after watching beckett leave & now watching esposito get going too: Javi… I had to.

*Esposito leaves without looking at Ryan.*

(& then beckett takes the elevator but not esposito??)

*Ryan throws a book across the bullpen.*

(which like...??? we often see emotion here but he yote a book. What did it hit? Where did it go?)

Ugh the rain & Her SwingsSet! I looove the swingset location in this show. I read a fic after this scene recently & it was p good. ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/3122723 )

What song is this btw?

Self is a construct. You are a person made of all the people you surround yourself with. When mum & I make the exact same noise of sympathy at the exact same time, you know she raised me. When I adopt a new word into my vocabulary from a character on a show. When I make my tea the way a past friend taught me. When my brother gets a new fidget or display of physicality...

She ends it with always instead of putting the always first shfaskjdfhsdjkfhsjhf this episode aaaaaaahhh

"in our hearts that will be with us,, always."

See? Adults are meant to play too. xbox is not just for preteen to teenaged boys.

Eeeee he puts the tassle On His Lamp!!

Don't delete it don't delete it don't delete it at least send it to her before deleting it or smth hsdjhskjdh

(at least he still has the recycling bin lol)

Knocking on the door, it has been like one minute since she called. She was probably calling to say "tell your doorman to let me in"

(fun fact, according to that set design bonus feature in new york, caskett live a 5-10min walk from one another.)

YOU

FINALLY THEY ARE KISSING WHY DID IT TAKE FOUR WHOLE SEASONS.

Sorry for what?

YOU DIDN'T CARE?

yes YES this is GREAT

& the MUSIC

& the lightning+thunder & the closing the door

& HER SCAR (but no surgery stars from when they cut her open to fix her heart lol)

Oohhhhhh it is not the end!!

Wow man looks way younger

NOOO MADDOX IS HERE IN SMITH'S PLACE AAAAH ON NO

Why is there an obsession over kate beckett? She is surely not the only enemy of Them.

& that's the end of the season!

Ok I started at 10, it is quarter to noon, it took me two hours to watch like 15 minutes of show. Holy moly.

I need to get all the clips & bonus features I want & then I'm good to send this back to the library.

Anon wrote: Follow-up to post 698121661234446336. Thank you for responding. I realise my mistake in not providing a complete stack for analysis, which I apologise for. I’ll attempt to provide as much relevant information as possible here. I want to start from reviewing dominant Ni, since you mentioned the possibility of an Ni-Ti loop being at play. Additionally, since my comparisons of dominant Si/Ti/Fi didn’t convince you either, this would provide the last of the introverted dominant cognitive functions.

Looking at the questions you’ve detailed previously in ‘The Principles of Cognitive Function Theory:’

Do you feel at your best when you possess a strong sense of purpose to guide you forward? Flip side: Do you easily feel uneasy or adrift when you have no idea how to proceed in life or have nothing significant to strive for?

I’ve always struggled with the running concept of ‘purpose’ when describing Ni-dominant types. My (most likely flawed) understanding of this comes from the stereotypical image of a child playing Doctor, and aspiring to become one with the mindset of ‘to help others.’ I personally feel like I have nothing inherently unique to contribute, so this idea has always missed the mark for me. I do, however, almost entirely derive my ‘drive’ from within (“I’ll live as long as I can because that’s what I’m supposed to do,” or “I’ll pursue to be happy because that’s what makes the most sense to me right now”).

I guess feeling adrift is a normal symptom of adolescence, so I tend to dismiss those thoughts, but I would describe myself as being constantly in a state of “comfortable unease” since I don’t feel like I have the tools to provide myself with any meaningful solutions currently.

However, examining a real-life incidence probably leans into this idea more than I’m aware of: as a student in a foreign country, I’ve been trying to encourage myself and my peers to learn a foreign language to increase our job prospects upon graduation. My view on it has been, “the sooner you start the better! You’ll be stuck in anglophone countries if you’re never willing to explore the alternatives,” etc. People would often respond with, “why are you worrying about this now? Don’t you have more important things to do, like study for your finals?”

Is it very important that you understand the grand scheme of things? Do you naturally synthesize information to discover overarching ideas, underlying essence, or future implications? Do you have difficulty making decisions without a guiding principle/philosophy of life?

This is another thing I’ve struggled with understanding. In my mind, when a ‘grand scheme’ is described I typically think, “there’s probably an even grander scheme beyond that, so what’s the point?” I feel like the knowledge I utilise on a day-to-day basis is muddled up in my brain into some homogenous idea, which is why I feel like I achieve solutions or ‘eureka’ moments out of thin air. For example, a seemingly irrelevant one-off experience I had a year ago had its relevance today when someone asked me for directions to a certain department. Even though I spoke with an air of certainty about it, I had no idea if it was actually the same destination the person was going to until someone else validated it.

I have difficulty making decisions almost entirely. I feel like this has already been stated in my previous ask, so I’m not going to reiterate that too much. I will say that the ‘coin flip’ principle I’ve adopted recently has spurred me to action, and has made a net improvement overall in terms of solving decision paralysis.

Are you often visualizing what would be the “ideal” state/situation? Do you think it is important to delay gratification to achieve an idealistic goal? Are you prone to perfectionism or controlling tendencies in pursuit of an ideal? Is the quality of your life determined by aspirations and/or symbolic markers of progress?

I oftentimes get confused between what is an active visualisation process, and what is ‘daydreaming.’ As a kid, I was often chided by teachers and the like for being too unfocused/distracted, and somewhat ditzy. I viewed those moments as me fantasising/daydreaming to escape a boring lecture, or to simply pass time, but it’s hard for me to delve deeper into it without knowing what I was thinking about. I like to think about ‘ideals’ when it comes to situations, but they’re often tainted by pessimism or desperation (dreaming about having a loving relationship for example, only to think about all of the worst ways it could end).

I tend to place my ideals on the back-burner, and typically don’t display controlling behaviour or perfectionism unless I’m reprimanding myself, only to fall into those same patterns or behaviours.

I would agree with the sentiment that the quality of my life is proportional to the aspirations I have—I feel like being totally devoid of anything further to live for would be a miserable life to lead.

When feeling low, do you find yourself judging things in life as being shallow, superficial, trivial, insignificant, meaningless, or pointless? Do you suffer when your future seems uncertain, opaque, negative, or coming in below your envisioned expectations?

I feel like I do this constantly (judge things as shallow, superficial, etc.), so the question I should be asking myself is whether this behaviour is intrinsically part of who I am, or whether I have been low for a very long time in my life.

And yes, while I feel like there is excitement to come from an air of uncertainty, having a murky or negatively-tinged view on what the future could hold would cause me to suffer immensely.

An example of this from my day-to-day life would be dismissing ‘meaningful’ conversations about topics that internally interest me, but I am externally uninterested in expressing. The other week, my friends were having a heated debate about what should be considered ‘art’ and what shouldn’t. It was infuriating in a way, since the arguments made felt so two-dimensional: one argued that a minimalist modern art exhibition they saw was lazy and uninspired, and didn’t deserve to be called art; the other argued that anything and everything can be art, and that they didn’t understand the concept of what defines art. In my head, I’m thinking, “well, neither of them are fully right either, since a work requires context for it to be art,” but I decided to mostly stay quiet until the end of the conversation since I hoped the discussion would move onto something else.

Do you have a pattern of disliking people who seem: self-limiting, narrow-minded, shallow, short-sighted, brash, fickle?

Yes, but I think it’s important to recognise that I also view myself in all of those ways, so my perception of things may be skewed. I also very rarely find that I actually dislike someone, unless they’ve done something I perceive as reprehensible. I more tend to dislike people who give sudden sweeping judgements of others all-of-a-sudden without further probing.

Have you gotten recurring feedback about being (and/or feel sensitive to being labeled as): presumptuous, pompous, pretentious, demanding, hard to please, distant, hard to know, mysterious/mystifying, vague, unrealistic, (too) intense, extreme, overserious, overthinking, unfun, humorless?

Mostly yes, but I definitely dial down myself to such an extreme that nobody actually knows who I am. Moreover, at times it feels like at the flick of a switch my personality can shift from being overly-empathetic, comedic and accommodating, to distant, humourless and overly-serious. This doesn’t happen too often, but more happens when I feel intensely insecure about something. For example, becoming extremely distant in a group of people if I feel as though my presence is unwarranted or not impactful.

I want to pursue the dominant-Ni types INFJ and INTJ here, since I’ve been typed as both of these during online self-assessments, and also since having an Ni-Ti loop is entirely possible (as mentioned in your reply). So, I’ll provide some responses to the prompts from the auxiliary Te and Fe sections.

Resisting Te:

I don’t exactly know if this falls under Te, but one situation where I completely forwent any sense of rational, logic-based decision-making was staying with an abusive ex-boyfriend. Now, obviously, this doesn’t fall under typical type development, and probably doesn’t fall under Te either, but I wanted to mention it since I feel like it would provide some insight.

The ex-in-question was someone I had formed an emotional attachment to over the years, and had felt like the only person who understood/knew me inside-out. However, this same person also was incredibly manipulative, and financially drained me to fuel their vices. Even though quite literally every person I talked to about this situation said that I should completely forgo contact, I still ignored almost any sane voice within me to maintain my connection with this person. And the issue was that, by that point, we had already ended our relationship. This wasn’t somebody I was bound to out of will, and I had the option to simply never speak to him again. It wasn’t until half a year later, after things had ended, where he reached out pleadingly for a chance to reconnect. I think me agreeing was out of a sense of nostalgia and attachment to him more than anything. Nevertheless! Everything proceeded to get worse when he would ask me for financial support, amongst other things. It eventually reached a point where I cut off ties with him, about a year ago, which was the last time I spoke to him. I found out that he unfortunately passed away a month later. To avoid the risk of turning this into an agony aunt submission, I will cut this short here.

Another (possible) instance of me resisting Te is, again, to do with relationships, albeit a more recent one. Unfortunately, this person was also (in my opinion) awful, and I had been warned by multiple other people of. I convinced myself at the time that they only knew of him through what I told them, and that their judgements weren’t accurate and that I should trust my reasoning behind keeping in contact with him. This lead to a very miserable relationship which I refused to acknowledge as horrible for my own well-being until he ended it. This ‘after-the-fact’ realisation only happened when I allowed myself to critically look back on my mistakes within it. In addition, I had a horrible time communicating my needs and spent most of the time trying to placate theirs instead.

Overindulging Te:

I feel like I fall into this often with the ‘black/white judgement’ that’s been described here, alongside becoming ‘humourless.’ For example, I’m a medical student who often goes to see patients as part of my education. We are instructed to perform history-taking, as well as a physical examination, however we can only achieve this in groups during our allotted times due to understaffing of our departments. My group was left to its devices to examine a particular patient, but spent far too long on time-wasting questions that had no relevance to the clinical case. In addition, their physical examinations seemed to discomfort the patient and take far too long, leading me to become irritated and overly controlling with what the group needed to do.

Healthy Te:

One recent example of healthy auxiliary Te expression in my life has been my work in a microbiology laboratory. I like experiments, and working with my hands, and so doing so in a team environment hasn’t proved to be too difficult. I do enjoy the manual aspect of it, but I also enjoy the aspects where it is focused around relevant information that I’ve taken the time to understand. When I feel competent in such an environment, I feel more empowered and confident to disseminate tasks and provide (hopefully) useful insight onto the project at hand.

Another example of healthy auxiliary Te (I think) has been my ability to act as a grounding force for other people. For example, I had to remind a friend recently that the hunch of someone cheating on you/doing something inappropriate is not substantial enough to pursue without real-world, demonstrable actions that you can refer to. It’s much harder to confront someone about something they haven’t actually done, or about something where they can hide behind a veil of ignorance if you’re unable to be precise enough.

Resisting Fe:

Ever since my most recent relationships, I have withdrawn from the world of dating/seeking intimacy out of a fear of events repeating. I feel like this is pretty self-explanatory for Fe resistance. I have also additionally been unable to open up to almost anybody about how I feel about the things that have happened to me recently, aside from divulging in the surface-level details. I’m currently more restrained in expressing anything emotionally, as I feel like conversations around the topic are frustrating and irrelevant. Oftentimes people would approach conclusions that seem so far-removed from how I actually feel, that it feels demoralising/dispiriting to open up about anything.

I am, and have always been, extremely sensitive towards any form of criticism. Either I have extremely poor Fe development, and/or I internalise the notions of others far too easily. A recent example of this would be how my brother pointed out and openly mocked my overly-sympathetic nature when talking to people in customer service. “You sound so fake,” he says, even though I’m not intentionally trying to deceive anybody. That hurt a little, I guess, and also made me reevaluate whether I came across as actually sympathetic or as someone with an ulterior motive/some kind of condescension towards others.

Overindulging Fe:

It’s a little hard for me to come up with specific, empirical examples of these traits of Fe overindulgence, since I feel like I experience each one of these very often. I would say a recent example of Fe overindulgence has been, alongside my previous relationships (minimising own issues to bring focus to the issues of others, bending self-image to form the perfect counterpart of someone else) my withdrawal from anything related to social media, and obsessive thinking about how I was perceived by other people. A sort of thought process going like, “I like this thing! I’ll share it with everyone else. Oh no, what if everyone else thinks I’m weird for liking this thing? Never mind, I should delete it. What if someone hates me for liking this thing? I won’t post anything like that again,” unless I receive some kind of direct positive feedback which will ease my insecurities.

Another insecure/heinous attitude of my overindulgence with Fe would be a current excessive fear of online dating, given my experiences with it in the past. I feel rejection incredibly easily, and that in combination with being up-and-front on a dating app feels humiliating. I try not to come across as too needy or forthcoming, but there’s always someone more disengaged and more disinterested. In the past, that has lead me to ‘match’ with certain people and then proceed to not take any further action, in order to avoid being rejected. A sort of, “only I’m allowed to do this to myself, nobody else.”

Healthy Fe:

A healthy example of Fe in recent times has been my ability to provide an emotional anchor to someone in turmoil. I often play the role of therapist for my friends, so this isn’t exactly a new thing. For example, a friend of mine is still emotionally reeling over the breakup of her ex-boyfriend, which happened about a year ago. Along with giving the usual platitudes you give to someone who is miserable, I also like to provide a little optimism (“we’re all in this together,” kind of way) and to remind her of the obvious facts (“if you’re unlovable, why am I still here,” sort of thing).

Another example of healthy Fe, I think, is my role as a group leader for my class’s subgroup (not exactly by choice, more that nobody else wanted to take up the role). I like to believe I’m helpful and do my job well, and from the feedback I’m getting from people in my group I believe that’s the case. Currently, I’m coordinating with the group on organising the time for our hospital visitations happening tomorrow, allowing people to choose the times they want to appear in the clinic before I hand the allocated slots over to the department.

Next, I’ll quickly go over my take on the tertiary Ti and Fi functions.

Tertiary Ti:

can’t see that emotional dysfunction causes poor state of personal life

This is pretty much exactly how I’ve been the last couple of years, with my tumultuous relationships and whatnot. And I agree, they’re almost exclusively self-inflicted given the lack of reflection I actively chose not to undertake. I have been undergoing treatment for depression for over 4 years now, however, so this might not be entirely applicable since I have some awareness as to the cause.

believes oneself self-aware yet can’t be fully honest about feelings

This was exactly the case in my most recent relationship, where I willingly subjected myself to a bad situation with somebody but refused to be fully honest as to how I actually felt about the situation. It had been much easier to pretend that the issues were entirely on my end in order to maintain the illusion of having a stable/functional relationship.

overthinks; full of contradictions yet only trusts own judgment

Example: in my most recent relationship, I had discussed with numerous people about whether I should reciprocate and pursue the relationship with this person—the answers given were all a resounding ‘no’—but in the end chose to dismiss their feelings along with my own to overthink and eventually come to the conclusion of “you’ll never know until you try!” And now I do. And now I feel very stupid.

uses blame, control, or faulty beliefs to disown emotional insecurities

This falls a little flat on me, possibly due to mental illness and/or immature development.

claims to be “true to self” yet motivated by reactions to social pressures

Example: I enjoy collecting perfume, but I feel like I should stop buying so many. A friend says I spend too much money, but another friend says that the hobby is interesting and admirable. The positive feedback sends me into a tailspin and pushes me further.

projects shame/guilt into pointless criticism and disapproval

I don’t think I have any examples to give of this, but that’s because I don’t really see that behaviour in myself.

emphasizes “reason” yet can’t explain oneself/solve problems/accept criticism

Example: when listening to my brother express his difficulties with our parents, I try to emphasise that blind anger/hatred towards them is unreasonable and unproductive of any solutions. When challenged on this, I feel as though it is impossible to produce any further reasoning beyond the fact that it is ‘correct’ in my mind, and feel unable to provide any tangible solutions to the situation.

obstinate, combative, uses performative intelligence to prove self-worth

I do not believe I do this anymore, but I remember a year or so ago when I would, in an attempt to validate whatever point I was trying to make, say “it’s just basic [xyz]! Don’t you know that?” For example, talking about some current affair happening in our university to a colleague and following it up by saying, “it’s basic psychology!” How very annoying. I also remember feeling more infuriated when I got challenged on my performative-ness.

Tertiary Fi:

can’t see that black/white approach creates or worsens problems

Example: I sometimes fall back into this kind of thinking when fuelled by resentment towards someone, and painting general situations over with broad strokes: “all of our classmates are like that. Honestly, they’re all awful. Everyone here seems so selfish,” and so on. Meanwhile, convincing yourself that your peers are self-absorbed and uninterested in cooperation will most likely only make me want to avoid them more. Funny how that works out.

easily frustrated by challenges; takes results too personally

Example: I used to play classical guitar (semi-decently) and felt incompetent at points when I was unable to sight-read musical pieces correctly. Also became extremely frustrated at being told to not play at the tempo I wanted to play at, and as a result only managed to make more and more mistakes. Was told by my instructor to not take a graded examination one year, and as a result felt incredibly demoralised (despite not seriously attempting to put in any sizeable amount of time into the work, due to feeling frustrated constantly when playing).

refuses to accept negative results, thus, doesn’t learn from mistakes

Initially felt like my previous awful relationships weren’t actually awful. Proceeded to make those same mistakes over and over again. Failed many, many different exams in high school, and proceeded to fail more instead of adjusting my approach.

knows the right way but continues with the wrong way anyway

I feel like my descriptions of my previous relationships already answer this question, but another here’s another example: performing a medical examination a certain way (to no detriment to the patient) instead of how the school wants us to perform the exam. My own ways come more naturally to me than other methods (that I’ve tried!).

uses trite moral justifications to harden faulty beliefs/approach

A main justification for staying in a previous (abusive) relationship: “everyone deserves to be loved and understood! There are no bad people, there are only people who don’t want to understand,” which is a very naive view of things. Do I believe in people, or do I just not want to be wrong?

treats moral judgments as factual truth despite no evidence/poor results

Similarly, such a moral justification has always been a guiding point in my life. It’s riddled with holes and makes no sense, and there has been more trusted empirical data that indicates otherwise (external perspectives, external accounts of similar situations, anything that hasn’t been an internally synthesised point of view).

shoots down good advice as being too hard or too complicated

Not directly, but I almost always in my head go: “that would be such good advice if it actually applied to my situation exactly. It’s too hard to achieve otherwise.” For example, when someone tells me to find someone to date, I think in my head: “well, I’m a queer person being told by a heterosexual person what I should do, but I know there will never be the same kind of understanding I have since they are most likely unable to empathise,” or “well, it would be that simple if you hadn’t been through a series of horrible relationships in the past.”

irrational fear about “compromising” oneself or one’s integrity

Maybe I am blind to this within myself, but I typically view my sense of self as distorted and easily changeable. I don’t feel like I have a true sense of integrity.

Finally, I’ll go over the inferior Se statements/abstractions from the inferior Se section of ‘The Principles of Cognitive Function Theory:’

Dominant Ni extremes:

prefers living in inner world and, cannot be present

I feel like this has already been mentioned above, but my daydreaming tendencies (which extend as far back as middle school) have still persisted to this day. I often find myself preferring to lay in bed and pretend/imagine a scenario happening, rather than actually going into the scenario myself (a date, for example, or an argument with someone). When transiting to a destination I’ll often go into ‘autopilot’ and go into some dreamlike state.

misses good opportunities

Staying at home in lieu of enjoying college life, quietly minimising social interactions to stay within an internal daydream of a world. Irrationally fearing that I’ll see an ex/someone at a certain place and avoiding such places entirely. Quietly resigning to doing the bare minimum in activities out of exhaustion.

only sees lack or negative outcomes

Why date when it’s all been so bad? Won’t the next person be equally as awful? Why tell someone about how I’m actually feeling? Won’t they just minimise my feelings? Why think of any outcome at all, when you could simply just not? They don’t exist anyways, don’t they?

When I was struggling with my sexuality as a gay man, it felt incredibly hard to talk to my peers about it in any way. In my mind, being closeted was the best outcome since there was none at all, better than divulging such information and being completely rejected. When my housemate found out, I proceeded to withdraw and avoid talking to him in an attempt to avoid conflict. It’s all good now though!

unrealistic expectations

“This relationship will validate me and free me from my insecurities,” or “this subject will be the most interesting thing in the world and drive me to action,” or “this perfume will be the best thing I’ve ever smelled so I’ll buy it.” Similarly, “why can’t this person get over their relationship already,” or “why can’t this person stop being addicted to their vices,” or “how can they not understand that I’m not willing to emotionally open up?”

Loss of normal and healthy dominant Ni functioning:

I feel as though my mind is murky and opaque.

All the time. I think I’ve referenced this before a number of times, but ‘eureka’ answers that feel like I am pulling out random pieces of information from an amorphous blob of information. Example: I zone out into a daydream-like state, and someone asks me what I’m thinking about. I genuinely don’t know. I can’t tell them, because even I’m not sure.

I cannot find meaningful direction or purpose.

This is also how I feel, I believe I’ve mentioned this as well, although I’m not fully convinced that someone needs a ‘purpose’ beyond simply living to live. Does that make sense? It makes sense to me, somehow. Example: I live every day on the bare minimum, satisfying basic needs and daydreaming of something better.

Every day feels empty but I don’t know what to do.

…See, I thought this was a symptom of me starting my antidepressant regimen, but yes. Every day feels empty, yet confined. There are a million possibilities and absolutely none at the same time. I wake up and waste my day absorbing sensory indulgences to pass the time. I don’t know what to do, isn’t every day supposed to be like this? Come tomorrow morning, I’ll be at the clinic doing something. Example: I woke up today and achieved nothing, I will go to sleep most likely knowing that tomorrow will be the same.

Out of character Se extremes:

I am easily thwarted, provoked, disturbed (so I avoid).

I think I’ve also mentioned this. Something seemingly inconsequential can flip a switch in my brain and sap any joy I’d been feeling. Example: political discussions often provoke/disturb me, so when such a discussion happens I tend to physically remove myself from the room. Horror/gore bothers me to such an extent that I am often covering my eyes and ears when something gruesome happens in a film.

I can’t help feeling impatient, implacable, or nonexistent.

Impatience I have learnt to deal with, however I feel constantly dissatisfied and unmoored with most things. Daydreaming helps ease these feelings, but the anhedonia is still ever-present. Example: it doesn’t matter what I’m doing, everything is somehow unfulfilling and exhausting all at once. I will sometimes attempt to indulge in sensory experiences (music, videos, games) in order to lessen these feelings.

I am more unfocused, clumsy, accident/error prone.

I have always been unfocused, however my clumsiness has increased in recent years. I used to have much better dexterity (playing the guitar, maybe a sport or something) but now I am blunted and sloppy. Example: I’m unable to play the guitar at the level I used to be able to. I can’t type as fast anymore, I can’t handwrite well either. I have a shaky hand and a poor sense of balance.

I am quite bothered by sensory/aesthetic “imperfections” or changes.

I spent a good few hours earlier this week downloading wallpapers and painstakingly adjusting them on my phone. Even now, looking at it the wallpaper feels asymmetrical or slightly off-balance.

I exert physical forms of control (e.g. clean, organize, exercise, etc).

This is something I feel like I don’t do. My sense of control is to sleep, or to stay immobile and absorbed in music.

I restlessly seek “facts” to justify my impulsive/extreme behavior.

Example: I impulsively buy items at times and then justify those purchases by either looking at reviews of those certain items, or convincing myself that the item is unique and I need it. I do this often with perfumes (this scent I have is green, but this scent is woody and citrus-like, so it’s a welcome addition).

I seek out excitement but always end up apathetic/dissatisfied.

Yes, I have anhedonia when it comes to most things. I don’t typically pursue excitement anymore, however.

I overdo unhealthy sensory pleasures and activities.

Fast food, online shopping, sleeping, more sleeping, there’s a lot here. I probably do this on a daily basis. I don’t have any substance vices (alcohol, cigarettes, drugs), however.

I often regret wasting too much time (obsessing) on trivial things.

I have been obsessing over cognitive functions for far too long. Trivial to most people, which is why I’m mentioning it here (but not to downplay the work you do, it’s great!). Mindlessly watching YouTube summaries of fragrances, or reviews of them on forums. My friends sometimes make fun of me about how I have “fixations of the month”. This has been a recurring theme throughout most of my life.

I’m honestly really sorry for how much this is, but I feel like this should provide some information for a more thorough type assessment (if you’re still willing to do so). Some questions have been a little brief in their responses, but that is mainly due to me struggling to come up with any recent real-world examples for you. I am currently investigating the Ni-Ti loop, and this has been helpful to go through as part of my investigation. I hope what I’ve provided for you is effective enough for some kind of insight. Thank you again.

---------------------

You've basically covered all the introverted types and the INFJ stack is the best fit. One important theme that recurs is "lack of integrity" and I've highlighted some examples. Lack of integrity basically arises from poor decision making. Specifically, the person is not making decisions that align well with their overall health, well-being, and growth. In some cases, this may rise to the level of self-sabotage, to the point of directing the majority of one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to actively work against oneself.

Lack of integrity is a problem anyone can suffer, but different types suffer it for different underlying reasons, and the symptoms manifest somewhat differently depending on the functions involved. The symptoms often go hand-in-hand with poor auxiliary development that eventually drags down dominant functioning. If this goes on long enough, it leads to loop and grip problems as well. See the Type Dev Guide for more detail.

For INFJs, function development often get stunted by deeper emotional problems related to unresolved: pain, fear, anxiety, insecurity, guilt, and/or shame. This leads them to misuse the functions in ways that hold back function development and growth:

Ni: needs but lacks clear goals and meaningful aspirations (due to ongoing auxiliary dysfunction)

Fe: suppression/denial/sacrifice of personal needs and desires as a means to avoid dealing with deeper emotional problems (and then turns around and wonders why low self-awareness and lack of motivation have become serious issues)

Ti: chronic confusion due to overcomplicating matters and/or misattributing causes, thus unable to solve problems or even making them worse

Se: resorts to pointless distractions and/or unhealthy detachment in futile attempts to silence deeper emotional problems

The immature INFJ functional stack provides the most adequate explanations for the characteristics, behaviors, and problems you've described. If you are indeed INFJ, to get back on the right type development path requires you to confront and resolve the deeper emotional problems that have been festering.

Thanks for the tag @mrsbsmooth and @banirareiko! I’m including the characters I wrote recently. I really loved this exercise and retaking the test and seeing if there were any changes (nope, I’m still a Mediator, as always).

Myers Personality Types

Will:

Oof, I really struggled with pinpointing his personality type. At first I thought Campaigner (ENFP-A/T), but ultimately I went with:

Overview: tend to have open minds, go-with-the-flow vibes, creative free spirits who like to live in the moment. Even if they enjoy being in the company of other people, they actually are introverted and need their alone time to recharge and get a sense of their own identity - Will’s very specific ideas of what quality time means comes to mind. He’s very observant and sensitive even if he puts himself out as aloof, airy and flighty.

Strengths: charming, sensitive to others, imaginative, passionate, curious and artistic.

Weaknesses: fiercely independent, unpredictable, easily stressed, overly competitive and fluctuating self-esteem.

Noah:

Overview: puzzlers who love wondering the mysteries of the world, their minds are always buzzing with ideas. Can be seen as pensive, detached and reserved. When they connect with someone who matches their mental energy they absolutely light up. Tend to overthink the smallest of decisions and suffer from “analysis paralysis” - and if that’s not the definition of Noah’s arc when we’re doing his route then I don’t know what is!

Strengths: analytical, original, open-minded, curious, objective.

Weaknesses: disconnected, insensitive, dissatisfied, impatient, perfectionistic.

Hazeem:

Overview: attentive, people-focused, tend to feel a sense of duty to those around them, generous and reliable, supportive and outgoing, they love to bring people together and build relationships that last.

Strengths: strong practical skills, strong sense of duty, very loyal, sensitive and warm, good at connecting with others.

Weaknesses: worried about their social status, inflexible, reluctant to innovate or improvise, vulnerable to criticism, often too needy and too selfless.

Of my OCs, I think Tammy from Meet Me in the Afterglow is the only really fleshed out and she’s basically me, so…

Tammy:

Overview: quiet, open-minded and imaginative, idealistic and empathetic, love to uplift others. Their ideal relationship is when people are comfortable sharing not only their wildest hopes and dreams, but also secret fears and vulnerabilities.

Strengths: empathetic, generous, open-minded, creative, passionate, idealistic.

Weaknesses: unrealistic, self-isolating, emotionally vulnerable, desperate to please, self-critical.

(I always read the profile for Mediator and think, God that makes me sound like a Disney Princess, which is soooo far from the truth, I can be such a mean bitch - and afterwards promptly feel bad about it)

my initials are KS and the emoji is 🎀! thank you. <3

Personality: 7 of Wands, 4 of Pentacles, Page of Cups

Your future spouse is someone with a very masculine energy. They are someone who is capable of facing any adversities thrown their way making them especially resilient and dependable. With that being said, your spouse is someone who is never lacking in courage or stamina, always choosing to be on the defense when it comes to defending and looking out for someone they love. I’m seeing that your future spouse is someone who stays to themselves for the most part. They may be an introvert or an ambivert. Either way they give the impression of not wanting to reveal all of their cards to just anybody. They seem to have very strong boundaries as well and a strong desire for security and stability.

For an emotional component, your future spouse is someone who has still managed to retain some of that innocent youthfulness. They could come across as childish when you get to know them, but they truly seem to have a childlike zest for life deep down past their masculine persona. Your spouse could also be yonder than you, or at the very least a little less mature than you. They could be a Cancer or a Capricorn, with some Leo thrown in there as well.

Career: Ace of Pentacles, 5 of Wands

I'm seeing that your spouse works in a career that involves serving someone in some way shape or form. They could work in a business professional setting, or any profession where they are providing someone with a service like healthcare and property management like real estate for example. Whatever career oath they are in, will be one that is quite competitive or fast paced with the 5 of Wands here. So something like law enforcement is coming in strong for me.

Appearance: Queen of Pentacles, The Fool

Your spouse has a very youthful or childlike appearance. Round facial features that may look a little feminine or could be considered feminine (clear skin, long eyelashes, etc), wide smile, short hair, likely on the lighter side, their build could be on the thinner side, but broad and sturdy.

How You Will Meet: Ace of Cups, 8 of Swords

When you meet this person it could be a case of love at first sight or attraction at first sight with the Ace of Cups here. You may, or this person may intend to start a new relationship with you upon first meeting. You could meet this person at a party of some sorts or a celebration of some type. The Ace of Cups also represents fertility and pregnancy, you could meet this person at a baby shower, or a wedding. However, with the 8 of Swords i'm not seeing you getting into a relationship with this person right away. The 8 of Swords represents analysis paralysis where you are backed into a corner feeling paralyzed by fear or anxiety, and thinking of everything that could go wrong even if there is nothing wrong. It represents delusions created by our mind out of fear. So upon first meeting with thai person there could be an air of fear, nervousness, or anxiety that could prevent you two from immediately forming a relationship, and rather waiting a few weeks or months.
