top 5 sortings you'd settle down with
LMAOO! I never actually thought about it until you asked now. Guess I should first get rid of all the Lion secondaries because I need someone more...erm socially savvy than me LOL. Then I also need to get rid of all the Badger secondaries because 1. my own model is more than enough and 2. I know some find the caretaking aspect very romantic, but for me it gets on my nerves. No Badger primaries either because the idea of a Loyalist being more devoted to a community/strangers than me will make me go green with envy. Funny enough I don't have this problem with Idealists, maybe because I understand their reasoning better? Badger Bird might have been here because, like you, I would love to take advantage of their good reputations, but other sortings edged them out.
1. Lion Bird - What can I say, Bird is the only secondary I can't model so I think a Bird secondary will ~complement me well. In fact you will see a lot of these on the list. As for why Lion, mostly because I think Snake primary devotion could annoy me sometimes -probably if I am not as devoted to then as they are to me- while External Primaries are too...external LMAO. But there is something nice about being with someone who has a very clear a goal and a plan to accomplish it. It can make my erratic Snake Lion be calm and feel like I am on solid ground even when things go wrong.
2. Snake Bird - Yes my #1 sexiest is my #2 here. What can I say, I don't settle. See all my reasoning for Bird sec from above. And while sharing a primary may sometimes be...granting, I think it could also be helpful when it comes to understanding the other. Not to mention, when push comes to shove, I want someone who's unashamedly selfish AND is good at finding solutions to our problems :DD.
3. Bird Snake - Like you, this is the Snake sec sorting I would feel safest with :DD. And I want the playfulness of this secondary, the fun that comes with an Improvisional secondary. And as a burned Improvisional myself, I admire those who are unburned and the things they can pull off. The Bird primary would probably make it even better as most of these guys tend to have an artistic side -not always in the traditional sense- and I would enjoy spending time with them. It's also interesting to note that I model both Bird primary and Snake secondary and I enjoy these models a lot. Hence this being my #3.
4. Double Snake - Again, selfish people make good life partners (as long as they are devoted to me and I to them) xDD. Also see above my reasoning for Snake secondaries. I do think this sorting can easily get scary, but like, I want someone scary by my side. I want someone that I can understand but who's different enough from me in order to work together well.
5. Lion Snake - It was between this and Double Bird, but Lion Snake won by virtue of being the reverse of my sorting which means we should make a good team. And as I said above, I want someone scary next to me, and I think these guys can be super scary. I have met only 1 Lion Snake irl and they weren't a romantic option, but I found that we make good friends/partners. So yeah, they edge Double Bird but it was a close call.
