- seem popular when you first look at them, probably attractive (it’s that pouty lip lifestyle)
- then you realize that they don’t talk to people
- then you realize that when they do talk, they talk really loudly
- then you realize, when they talk to their close friends, they won’t shut up
- except for when they’re silent for three months at a time
- then you get slapped w/ the fact that they’re A NERD (and proud of it)
- OR you never find out they’re a nerd and think everyone else is delusional for treating them like they’re the most intelligent person on the planet when clearly, this person is a big dumbass
- probably waiting for someone to do or say something interesting
- might be surrounded by people but always on the outside of the circle or latched onto one person
- EYE CONTACT. Hands down, the easiest way to know assuming they have already acknowledged your existence. I personally don’t know what to do with my eyes during a conversation so I don’t really look away. Only look at you if they’re interested.
- “No, oh wait, maybe…” is their go-to response (a conversation btwn INTPs is like so: “no, for this reason-” “no, you’re wrong because-” “no, because-” “no, I’m correct”)
- often really bored by whatever is happening outside of their head so they either won’t engage or will try to start a game or something
- always known as the funny friend
- easily annoyed, famous for glares, sometimes it’s meant as a joke
- in class, they wait for someone else to answer the teacher’s questions first before deciding they’ll take initiative when no one else does — > applies to most things
- cuddly but in a particular way, likely want to be the one to initiate all forms of bodily contact once they’re close to you
- might not even like cats but 100% of people will read them as a cat-person
- intelligent but forgets a lot of shit because they just don’t care enough or haven’t had to remember that piece of knowledge in 3 yrs.
- when they’re passionate, they’re all in, the edge of the multiverse is the limit / when they’re not, they’re gonna sleep for the next 100 yrs. and will growl at you if you wake them
- may wake up early but won’t do anything until 7:00PM-4:00 AM because it’s peak performance hour
- great at finding other people’s stuff, great at losing their own
- respond to your questions like a CIA agent, you’re on a need to know basis
- but also will randomly spill all their secrets at 3 AM
- when someone says they’re friends w/ them they respond either like 1) “we’re friends?” *confusion* or 2) “we’ve been in love since we met”
- their good friends know who their crush is before they know
- text you immediately but often forget you exist if you don’t constantly remind them (it’s okay, they forget they exist)
- love you lots but are also trying not to be too attached
- kinda nice but also analyzing your every move and storing it in their mental bank
- they will remember really specific things about you and will either use this to tell when you’re lying or to get you great birthday presents
- don’t trust you but supposedly they should give people the benefit of the doubt
- if you insult them, they will look at you blankly because they’re trying to figure out if you meant that as an insult, if they care about you, and if they care at all
- competitive but unmotivated at the same time
- play hard, play hard some more, continue to play, work non-stop for 22 hrs. until something is perfect, never work again
Do you think INFPs are the type to get offended the most? Or generally that it's an Fi thing?
I think FPs are more honest and open about being offended. When the other types are offended (truly offended– not annoyed) they tend to react in distinctly different ways that aren’t inherently obvious to the naked eye, trends generally include:
High Fi (INFP, ISFP, ENFP, ESFP): Expression
Offended high Fi tends to be outspoken because they know where they stand on issues, they know what they believe is right or wrong, and they know how they feel about people who cross that line.
High Fe (ENFJ, ESFJ, INFJ, ISFJ): Exclusion
Offended high Fe resorts to social exclusion a la Mean Girls. If someone is grossly inappropriate they tend to scold and then minimize exposure to that person by doing things like disinviting them to events, ignoring them when in direct contact, or just plain avoiding them altogether. High Fe also tries to stop the offensive person in question from infiltrating their social circles and influencing their friends.
Low Fi (ENTJ, ESTJ, INTJ, ISTJ): Aggression
Offended low Fi will bury you in facts and counterarguments, possibly toss in personal insults, and then promptly dismiss you as an idiot whose intelligence can’t be salvaged with prolonged conversation by shutting you down and shutting you out.
Low Fe (INTP, ISTP, ENTP, ESTP): Passive Aggression
Offended low Fe likes to troll (harass) which is a form of passive aggression because it’s an indirect form of hostility. They’ll come back again and again until the other person is worn out. The point of this reaction is that low Fe doesn’t want to reveal they’re actually offended but they want to inflict on the offending person the same hostility they received.
As an INTP I don’t apologise I just point out how they were illogical
ESFP: “Uh… schwa!”
ESTJ: *pause* (in Russian accent) “Oh, your handwriting is very bad!”
ENTP: “You’ll notice that I walk across the grass rather than the sidewalk as I go to class, because sidewalks are a social construct, and I don’t want to be tangled in that.”
ENFJ: “I’m teaching so many classes this semester, I don’t know what we’re supposed to be talking about.”
ISTJ: “Take it up with administration, I don’t have time.”
INTJ: “Students keep asking me all these questions, and I get to the point where I just want to yell, ‘It’s in the syllabus!’.”
INFJ: “First of all, calculators are like cheating.”
INFP: “The bastards at MLA keep changing the rules on me, so keep in mind that I, also, am now learning how to cite sources.”
ISFP: “If you think it’s art, then it’s art, and all art is valid. Welcome to the humanities department!”
ISTP: “That was…. That was genius! Why didn’t I think of that?”
ISFJ: “So basically, just be nice to each other!”
ENFP: “I don’t use the podium because it’s easy to fall on.”
ESTP: “Confidence is sexy, it’s how I met my wife.”
ESFJ: “I’ll tell you where to find super cheap textbooks, but the dean can never know.”
ENTJ: “Stop paraphrasing the textbook, I’m getting bored.”
INTP: *wanders through hallway banging random auto parts together* “Wow, the acoustics in here are amazing! Listen to that!”
ENTP: Loki, because the ENTP is about to screw the universe up using what they know
ENTJ: Morrígan, because you’d better shut up and listen to the ENTJ
INTJ: Hades, because the INTJ gets to sit in the dark and judge souls
INTP: Astraea, because the INTP got tired of your crap and left
Everyone’s dumb but me. What if... This reminds me of... Aw Oh yeah that’s me. (The aw is cut short tho, cause inferior Fe :))
Ni: Told you so
Fe: Awwwww
Se: ooh shiny
Ti: Everyone’s dumb but me
Ne: what if…
Fi: I know what’s important
Si: this reminds me of…
Te: Just Do as I say, bitch
Lmaoo yes. I was so aware of how it was all so ridiculous from their PoV, which is hilarious.
But from the humans’ POV it was epic. I knew Hadrian would win, there’s no way he wouldn’t, he’s our insurmountable Teshlor knight, buut it still gave me such an adrenaline rush reading those sequences man.
This is super spoilery for the Riyria books which is a pretty decent fantasy series - so don’t read this if you don’t want parts of the very end of the series ruined.
I was re-reading it, and I found myself picturing the end of the novel from the point of view of the elves - they must have been mortified.
This thing that should have been a sacred tradition had a banished murderer on one side and a bunch of humans on the other - none of which could seem to decide who the heir was. The combatants changed literally four times, with a healer butting in occasionally and the loser getting unexpectedly shanked by some random bystander.
Seriously, Yakety Sax should have been playing.
You just know that afterwards the humans were like, “oh man that was epic, I’m going to tell everyone I know!” And the elves are all, “let us never speak of this again”.
Ughh I know right. These two are the sweetest
so apparently there are folks who don’t like hadrista but how anyone can not want Arista “so convinced I’m unworthy of love I start crying when I discover my feelings are reciprocated” Essendon and Hadrian “clueless about feelings to the point of thinking the woman who very obviously loves him will hate him if he confesses his feelings to her” Blackwater to find happiness and security together is beyond me.
I mean... he IS the one who gives all the warm hugs, so that’s not even a question!
Headcannon: Hadrian Blackwater gives the best hugs.
Week two of Riyira Revelations Inktober is done!
Week one is over here!
