@ethryndal Ha, I got emailed this time 😉

Heeeeyy… that’s pretty good! I might be able to do something with that! I now remember a little story I read about animals at the beginning of the world, and the world was all in darkness, so the different animals travelled to get the light. It was also like one of those stories that explains why some…[Read more]

@Perfectfifths (notice I got the f in there 🙂 ) Alas, I haven’t any suggestions, though I may yet so don’t write me off as completely unhelpful. 😉

Though here is something kind of abstract: Light as more of a physical thing than just sun derived. Light as something you can touch and hold, kind of like the memories in Inside Out. Something you…[Read more]

@Daeus um… not sure. I’ll have to check.

@kate-flournoy Ok, maybe I’ll look it up myself. Btw, did you take the enneagram test with instinctual variant? I found that more interesting than the normal test actually.

@Daeus it’s an MBTI thing. Eh dear… how to explain it. I’m still working on it myself, but as far as I’ve been able to tell so far it’s the functions resulting from the combination of the other functions— the four dominant functions reacting against each other together create shadow functions. I’ll get back to you when I understand it better. 😛

@kate-flournoy What are the shadow functions? Does that have anything to do with type 2?

@winter-rose @daeus @kate-flournoy @ethryndal @aella I’m writing for the usual amount of time, for anyone who wants to join.

@Graciegirl *flings cape out with a dramatic swoosh* Never say never. I’m determined to master them if it’s the last thing I do. 😀

@Graciegirl I’m still working on the shadow functions, but I definitely agree. MBTI is amazingly thorough.

By the way, I took the Enneagram test and am indeed Type 4, the Individualist.

Oh, and it also said my mental health was ‘above average’ which was frankly a bit of a surprise and a relief all at once. :’D

By the way, I took the Enneagram test and am indeed Type 4, the Individualist.

@Daeus yes it does. It explains the very core of you if you study it correctly, and the combinations of your different functions explain how you act when you’re stressed and why. It’s just something you have to deduce by yourself. 😉
Which, personally, I think is a plus… XD

I do believe MBTI explains how you act when stressed as well.

@Aratrea well, I maintain the superior coolness of MBTI (it’s not a system, it’s a concept) *haughty sniff* but I have to admit that is pretty cool. 😉

@ethryndal No worries there; I saw your comment 🙂

As for what my story’s going to be about, I’m not sure at this point. I started with a small idea about a candle and the different meanings lighting one could have, but I wasn’t feeling. I do have a half-written piece about how and why light and darkness are representatives of good and evil,…[Read more]

It’s probably what sold me the most on the Enneagram system since I know I tend to act fairly differently depending on my mood.

@Aratrea COOL!

@kate-flournoy @daeus @graciegirl One other thing to add to this discussion on Enneagram theory is that one of the coolest parts of the system (at least for me) is the theory that when you are stressed or relaxed, you actually act like a different character type (hence the connecting lines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enneagram_of_Personality).…[Read more]

@anna-brie Authority sounds good.
