This is my husband Kilian​ - and some quotes about his archetypal energy - which ended up in my first book! I met Kilian on a typology forum, personalitycafe, where we connected because we both found some modern trends in enneagram to be misleading. Now we're also into cognitive type (related to mbti, socionics, jung etc) -- as well as archetypes in general. This passion led us to dream up the archetype system that is pictured on the cover of Book 1 of my series, Night Gem. (Cover by the amazing @kittrose .) We mixed our sense of typology and archetypes with the mythology that I've developed for years with my brilliant co-author, Elliott Lash. Kilian, Elliott, and Claudia (the artist) are among my greatest muses - along with @saraschmara  (who inspired a character that will be prominent in later books) and @surahyusuf (whose aesthetic inspired an important city in book two). There are more, and you know who you are. I couldn't possibly be more grateful for the muses that have inspired me over the years. As Prince Ruby Valentine says, "Without a muse, music is just math."

Unhealthy 6w5

Unhealthy persons of this subtype become increasingly paranoid and obsessed with maintaining their security, and may go to great lengths to protect their position. They are extremely needy, and may abuse alcohol or other drugs as a way of dealing with anxiety and paranoid delusions, as well as bolstering their inferiority feelings. The Five-wing adds elements of cynicism and nihilism to the fearful mentality of the unhealthy Six, resulting in growing isolation, desperation, and a capacity for sociopathic actions. Intense stress will likely lead to outbreaks of rage and extremely destructive behavior accompanies by breaks with reality. Self-sabotaging, self-destructive actions bring about humiliation and punishment to atone for guilt, although the extent and nature of their self-destructiveness will be hidden from others because of their reclusive nature. There may be strong propensity for violence as well as sadomasochistic tendencies in sexual expression. Murder and suicide are both real possibilities.
