I have this pet hazbin hotel theory that Charlie and Emily are sisters/half-sisters and maybe there’s some kind of parent trap thing going on (which might explain Lilith’s disappearance?)

I know my brain turned into soup about 8 to 9 years ago but I’d like it to become functional again and unlock the knowledge stuck in it please

Character match! Griffindor, Taurus, blue, vanilla, my friends and family (can’t pick favs), “because it is there” Edmund Hillary’s answer when asked why he wanted to climb Everest, the secret life of Walter Mitty. Xoxo thank you!

ESTP Day: Started from the Top now we here OR another post in which I probably just talk about myself and how I think SPs are cool but I’m really not good at pretending to be one

I will openly admit to extreme gerrymandering here.

Here’s the deal: I was in New York visiting friends a little more than a year ago - shortly before I got my acceptance letter to my current program, in fact. I was walking with one of them who mentioned her coworkers had walked the perimeter of Manhattan once, and I thought that sounded cool, and when I moved here in August, I decided I’d do the same. Then I researched it and realized it would take forever, so I edited it to walking the length of Manhattan down Broadway. We set a date, which was pushed back twice due to weather, and I similarly pushed back the ESTP day because this would allow me to do a kind of ESTP thing, but planned.

All that said, it was a lot of fun, and I think it took some of the pressure off pretending to be an ESTP which gave me more room to be spontaneous and interested in my surroundings.

The basics of the day: Woke up, got ready (athletic clothes w/layers, sneakers, a small bag with water, sunscreen, etc), and met my friend at a cafe near my apartment. We took a little longer to sit and eat our bagels than originally planned, and I actually didn’t care because we’d budgeted a lot of time. We took the train up to Marble Hill, which is technically not on Manhattan Island but is part of Manhattan borough, crossed the bridge to the island, and began.

One of the hardest parts of type for a day for me is talking to people as a different version of yourself. The great thing about taking a 13 mile walk with one other person is you can’t really get into your head about talking, or you’d go insane (maybe you can do this, but I can’t). Which again meant that everything was much less structured and more open. Plus, you need to draw inspiration for conversation topics somewhere, and while my inspiration would be a little more Si than Se (hey, I remember this street) it required me to focus much more on what was around me. And again, the basic structure of the day and the combination of the familiar (I do live in Manhattan and spend time on parts of Broadway) and unfamiliar (I’ve never been to Inwood before and I rarely go so far south as the Financial District, and I’ve never deliberately walked through the Times Square part of Broadway for the full length) meant that I was more focused on taking in all the new things.

Some really non-ESTP things: we ended up going to a restaurant for brunch that both of us knew pretty well instead of seeing where the walk took us; I feel I still perceived things with Si, unsurprisingly (eg: oh, there’s a cool bar I’d like to check out in the future). And when we finished and parted ways I went home and was done for the rest of the night (read: ordered a ton of food, watched Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) though I did hang out with my roommate for a while instead of running (slowly shuffling) to my room.

I think I’ll sum this up with the text exchange between INTP friend and me after.

INTP: How tired are you

Me: Physically pretty tired why

INTP: Oh just lol’ing at what you do for fun

Me: Also impatiently waiting for a late-ass train and low key eating the girl scout cookies we bought [along the walk]

Me: So you never do fun shit that makes you physically tired?

INTP: I do not hike or urban hike

Me: I think urban hiking is just walking

INTP: Hiking is pointless walking

Me: I mean dancing is pointless flailing

INTP: True but more fun to me

Me: You’ve done a 10k, it’s like that but twice and you get to stop in the middle for brunch

Me: And slower

INTP: Yeah that sounds horrible
