It is not the prettiest but here is a little chart I made of skin tones.

The idea is to eye-drop anywhere on the chart to get a unique skin tone instead of getting stuck in the loop of “white, tan, dark”.

[ellosescriben3]

“El punto es que no estás, ni estarás; que se ha acabado todo antes de empezar; que tu adiós, inconstante e impreciso, se ha vuelto eterno y fuiste tú quien así lo quiso; que te quiero y te querré, pero eso no bastó para mantenerte en pie; que te extraño más que siempre, aunque nunca te tuve aquí…ya no hay más que hacer, el ciclo es morir y renacer.”

— Malaci (Frida del alma mía)

[unabuenaputajamasseminimiza]

Incluso queriendo ser antipoético, eres poético, querido. Y es que llevas en ti sangre guerrera, pasión infinita que deslumbra a las psiques vagabundas. Tus gestos, amables, se cargan de verso y prosa. Danzan tus ojos al compás de tus sonrisas armoniosas. Mueves el cuerpo, de inestables melodías y pareciera que recitaras una oda a la alegría. Eres y serás, de bondad cubierta de suspicacia humana. Existes para ser y hacer poesía – maravillosamente – mundana.

Malaci ( Al Alma Incendiaria de un Éxtasis Filosófico)

Extroverted vs Introverted Functions

Te vs Ti

What they have in common: Logic.

Extroverted Thinking (Te): I want proof. I strive for self-evident achievement - awards, public recognition, money. I need to show you I’m right in a way everyone can understand. There’s no time for theory; we need a plan of action. What good is it if it doesn’t solve the problem? If hard science can disprove my claim, then I’m wrong. I think logic is more or less universal, therefore right and wrong are very clear.

Introverted Thinking (Ti): I want knowledge. I strive for personal understanding - satisfaction, collecting odd tidbits, feeling like an expert. I only need to know that I’m right, even if I don’t show it. There’s no need for practicality; we need to make sure this is conceptually sound. What good is it if it doesn’t have internal consistency? If you can show me logically that I’m wrong, then I’m wrong. I don’t need proof. I think logic is highly personal, therefore right and wrong are often a matter of opinion.

Fe vs Fi

What they have in common: Morality.

Extroverted Feeling (Fe): I want harmony. I strive for public approval - appreciation, respect, admiration. I need the atmosphere to be pleasant and appropriate for everyone. I’m willing to hide my true opinions if they would upset others; what they think of me is more important than what I want to say. Everyone is more or less the same; it’s easy for me to put myself in someone else’s shoes.

Introverted Feeling (Fi): I want authenticity. I strive for self-approval - knowing I did the right thing, that I was honorable, just, and fair. I need the atmosphere to be pleasant and comfortable for me. I’m willing to displease people if I need to express what I truly believe; what I want to say is more important than what they think of me. Everyone is unique and incomparable; it’s necessary for me to understand where someone is coming from before I can empathize.

Se vs Si

What they have in common: Fact.

Extroverted Sensing (Se): I want stimulation. I strive for things that are pleasing to my senses - food, drink, sports, luxury. I need to be surrounded by a physically appealing atmosphere. I am constantly aware of what is going on around me, whether it is changes in a person’s expression or the passing scenery. I notice all the details. It matters less to me whether something is familiar than whether it is aesthetically pleasing.

Introverted Sensing (Si): I want familiarity. I strive for things that remind me of my past - souvenirs, stories, traditions, our old home. I need to be surrounded by a physically comfortable atmosphere. I am constantly aware of the difference between my current environment and the way it used to be, whether it is the new corner store or my daily routine. I compare all the details to my internal ‘database.’ It matters less to me whether something is aesthetically pleasing than whether it is familiar.

Ne vs Ni

What they have in common: Abstraction.

Extroverted Intuition (Ne): I want novelty. I strive for possibility - ideas, potential, things that sound good in my head. I need to have lots of information to explore. I have a ‘mental playground’ of facts extrapolated from things I have experienced or read. I am constantly aware of what things could be. My thoughts often feel like they lack structure because they branch out in ways that are hard to explain. There are essentially many ways to look at an issue, and many possible solutions.

Introverted Intuition (Ni): I want vision. I strive for insight - the universal truth, the goal, the central meaning. I need to have information relevant to my interests to explore. I have an organized mental space wherein I’m highly aware of what I should be doing to reach the next step. My thoughts often feel like they are pointing in one direction, even if I can’t explain this direction. There are essentially a few ways to look at an issue, which can be narrowed down to one solution.

How each of the functions are described vs People I know who uses each functions as their dominant

Perceiving functions

How Se is described: The present. Experiencing the now. Aesthetics.

People I know who uses dominant Se: Can’t sit still when talking without them moving so much. Loves P.E even if some are not good at it. “I fucking dare you!”. The most energetic one in the group. “You know I might have ADHD”. They may not look like it but they know more than you think. It’s boring when they’re not around.

How Ne is described: New ideas. Possibilities. What if.

People I know who uses dominant Ne: Would run up to you only to ask “Okay imagine this. What if [insert something stupid]”. Suddenly laughs when the whole room was quiet. A lot would tell them they need medication. The jokester in the group. Sucks at story telling. Has tons of crushes. Innuendos. Curses a lot. It’s fucking true.

How Si is described: Vivid memory. Concrete facts. Traditional.

People I know who uses dominant Si: Loves telling stories about what they did when they were little. Always suspicious. Everytime I go out with them in some place they would always run into someone they know, made me believe that they have so many friends. Acts like a know it all. They can be very patient when they’re in a good mood.

How Ni is described: The big picture. Future vision. Organize things into one answer.

People I know who uses dominant Ni: Explains things in 100+ paragraphs. Not a lot enjoys watching movies with them. Gets very pissy if things don’t go accordingly to them. Definitely not Jesus. They unintentionally attract a lot of people. Quiet as fuck. Surprisingly always up for challenges. Sarcasm.

Function by Function Typing Summery (WIP) Part One: The Analysts (NTs)

I’ve typed quite a few characters and over time I’ve developed certain “tells” for the different types. In this post I’ll try to summarize how I look for each type’s functions in a character. Hopefully this will turn out to be a comprehensive system (unrealistic INTJ goals) but I don’t plan on doing it alone. If you see something you disagree with, or something to add, speak up. I’m confident in my understanding of some types and functions, but others are a bit harder for me to understand.

INTJ

Introverted Intuitive Dominant

Comprehension and pursuit of abstract concepts and ideals. A focused and future oriented vision. Is most comfortable when they can see several steps ahead of everyone else and usually they can.     

Extroverted thinking Auxiliary 

Practically pursues ideals and future visions set forth by Dom Ni. Focuses on functionality and efficiency generally, but more noticeably in its pursuit of Ni ideals.

Introverted Feeling Tertiary

Strongly held convictions, often based on abstract Ni foundation. Emotionally subtle and private but fiercely loyal to people and causes they cares about.

Extroverted Sensing Inferior

Prefers to work behind the scenes to achieve their Ni goals. Often uncomfortable with physicality and “getting their hands dirty.” Typically has a taste for the finer things in life.

INTP

Introverted Thinking Dominant

Seeks logical consistency and depth. Enjoys systems of logical framework, building their own and appreciating those that others build. Develops and studies complex systems pertaining to their varied and abstract Ne interests. Slow to form definite judgement. Prefers to take the time to make sure that a conclusion is consistent.

Extroverted Intuitive Auxiliary

Openness to alternate possibilities and a thirst for variety. Often Innovative and inventive. Typically curious and creative, specifically when it comes their logical Ti systems. 

Introverted Sensing Tertiary

 Tendency to fall back into the same patterns. Finds comfort in routine and seeks stability to counteract the inconsistent perspective of Ne.   

Extroverted Feeling Inferior

Often uncomfortable with open displays of emotion. Prefers to remain reasonable at all times. Cares more about how other people see them then they would like to admit and often wishes they had more social skills than they currently possess.

ENTJ

Extroverted thinking Dominant

Practically pursues order in their environment. Prone to leadership and tends to be strategic minded in co-coordinating others. Focuses on functionality and efficiency and does not mince words when they believe something needs to be said.

Introverted Intuitive Auxiliary

Comprehension and pursuit of abstract concepts and ideals. A focused and future oriented vision. Future visions and ideals often are built upon Te foundation, seeking to build a better future in which they are independent and powerful enough to pursue their personal goals of protecting and providing for themselves and those they care about.    

Extroverted Sensing Tertiary

Energized by their environment, but often impulsive. Doesn’t hesitate in pursuit of their goals, but instead jumps straight in and tries to change the situation to their advantage.

Introverted Feeling Inferior

Has strongly held convictions, but is often emotionally volatile. Emotionally subtle and private but fiercely loyal to people and causes they cares about. Can be self conscious and insecure, unsure of how to take care of themselves emotionally.

ENTP

Extroverted Intuitive Dominant

Openness to alternate possibilities and a thirst for variety. Often Innovative and inventive. Typically curious and creative, taking on many different hobbies and pursuits. Energetic and inspired when it comes to ideas and concepts that interest them

Introverted Thinking Auxiliary

Seeks logical consistency and depth. Enjoys systems of logical framework, building their own and appreciating those that others build. Develops and studies complex systems pertaining to their varied and abstract Ne interests.

Extroverted Feeling Tertiary

Prefers to remain reasonable at all times, but also has a sense of the emotional environment Cares more about how other people see them then they would like to admit, and often tries very hard to be liked and affirmed. Uses the creativity and insight of their Ne to manipulate the emotional environment, either to put people at ease, or to push their buttons 

Introverted Sensing Inferior

Tends to be uncomfortable with tradition, but also sees the past as being very significant. Often has a “running forwards while looking over their shoulder” approach to life. Can be forgetful when it comes to details, preferring to make general statements.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING

[nightjarring]

It’s a baby Jacana. They use those ridiculous stick-figur toes to evenly distribute their weight as  they walk around on waterlillies and stuff. Like snowshoes, but for swamps.

Here’s an adult:

Another really interesting thing about Jacanas is that it’s the dad who does all the child rearing while mom goes off to lay more eggs. Amd their really good dads too! Plus look at how they Cary their babies around!:

All aboard the dadbus

The bisexual stereotype is true. I am bi and I can’t decide anything. I have never made a decision in my life.

BEING AN INTJ: Expectation vs Reality

(Like usual, does not apply to all INTJs)

EXPECTATION:

Evil mastermind.

Good at absolutely everything.

284826 IQ.

Cold and impersonal.

“What are feelings? Never head of them.”

Lone wolf.

REALITY:

Being so lost in thought that the world fades into the background.

Having emotions, but not really knowing how to express them without it feeling silly.

Either feeling like you can solve ALL THE MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVERSE or not do anything at all.

Having HUGE epiphanies at the absolute RANDOMEST moments.

Wanting to talk about something you’re passionate about SO BAD but not having anyone who to talk about it with.

Showers/baths = undisturbed thinking time.

Not being able to sleep because your brain never shuts down.

When someone calls you without warning first and you have that a huge mental debate between picking up the call or letting it ring (and usually deciding to let it ring.)

Being so disconnected to your surroundings sometimes that you forget who you are, where you are, and why you’re there.

When you just know something. You don’t know how or why you know it, but you just do.

Sometimes your intuition tells you that someone is sketchy, but no one else sees it.

When someone says something SO stupid and SO ignorant you don’t know what to do other than stare at them, speechless.

Speaking fluent sarcasm.

Finding a weird comfort in following a schedule.

Looking at someone who is of an xxFx type and wondering, “How do they let their emotions control them so much?”

When there’s a thing that needs to be done, but people keep trying to interrupt you.

And, lastly:

Sitting alone somewhere comfortable, drinking tea/coffee, reading a book, and just feeling at peace.
