17 and 12 for the book ask thing!:D

17. did any book surprise you w how good it was:

Fic - Anne Jamison (see prev ask)

12. any books that disappointed you?

A Head Full of Ghosts - Paul Tremblay

I only like about 3 authors out of the little clique currently writing all the popular horror. this was Paul Tremblay’s last chance to stay on my list and he failed it flagrantly. this stupid book COULD have been cool as fuck in many different ways and it just flaccidly farted at every turn

Hi there :). First of all, I'm so happy I've found your blog! All of your asoiaf meta is amazing and super interesting to read. I was just reading through your personality type tag and I was wondering if there are any asoiaf characters you would type as INFJ?

Thanks so much! And, oh, INFJ, that’s a tricky one. You can see the basic type description here:

Beneath the quiet exterior, INFJs hold deep convictions about the weightier matters of life.  Those who are activists – INFJs gravitate toward such a role – are there for the cause, not for personal glory or political power.

INFJs are champions of the oppressed and downtrodden.  They often are found in the wake of an emergency, rescuing those who are in acute distress.  INFJs may fantasize about getting revenge on those who victimize the defenseless.  The concept of ‘poetic justice’ is appealing to the INFJ.

“There’s something rotten in Denmark.”  Accurately suspicious about others’ motives, INFJs are not easily led.  These are the people that you can rarely fool any of the time.  Though affable and sympathetic to most, INFJs are selective about their friends.  Such a friendship is a symbiotic bond that transcends mere words.

INFJs have a knack for fluency in language and facility in communication.  In addition, nonverbal sensitivity enables the INFJ to know and be known by others intimately.

Writing, counseling, public service and even politics are areas where INFJs frequently find their niche.

And you know, that sounds a lot like Dany. The trouble is that some will look at the type description as its parts – Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Judger – and go, “what, Dany’s not introverted!” (But see here for actual meanings of MBTI terms.) Or they’ll look at the primary function of the INFJ, Ni, Introverted Intuition, and say that’s not how Dany primarily interacts with the world. Some will even claim she doesn’t have Ni at all, and that her 4 functions include Si, Introverted Sensing – only doing things because they’ve been done before, based on traditions and history – which is generally a sign they’ve never read the books and only go by the show. (I’m sure the difference between the dreamy insecure Dany of the books and the shouty “where are my dragons” Khaleesi of the show is why you can see her typed in such varying ways as INFP, ESFJ, ENFJ, ENTJ, and others.)

But anyway, back to Ni. It is very important to Dany, and is instrumental in her most character-defining decisions – such as the intuition-spurred ritual that led to the birth of her dragons. But I think the reason why it doesn’t appear obvious to people (besides the fact that Ni is hard for others to see in action) is due to her childhood with Viserys, an unstable abuser who punished her whenever she expressed any thought that didn’t align with his interpretation of what a Targaryen princess should be like. Thus she learned early to rely on her Extraverted Feeling, to predict his emotional state and prevent “waking the dragon” whenever possible. You can also see how she uses Fe frequently in her adaptation to other cultures, like the Dothraki and Qarth and Meereen. (And again the show’s “my way or the highway” Dany is what causes a lot of misreadings here, like with the arguments with the Thirteen and the lack of the “floppy ears” in Meereen etc, so you’ll have people actually claiming she can’t possibly be Fe because she’s not empathetic at all. *rolleyes*)

Anyway. I’m going to stop with the functional analysis for now, because I know it can look extremely incoherent. (I didn’t understand it myself for ages.) Instead I’m just going to provide a ton of links:

Typelogic.com INFJ

Portrait of an INFJ - see also INFJ relationships, INFJ personal growth

Personalityjunkie.com INFJ - also their The Other Side of the INFJ is excellent for Dany

16personalities.com INFJ

and so many more INFJ links here

As for other characters in the books, I honestly can’t think of any offhand. Some have suggested Jon Snow (I say no, he’s much more S than N), some Melisandre (again nope, talk about empathy problems), so you’ll just have to take Dany for now. :) I hope that helps!

6. Korra, Sokka and Katara! :)

Seduce - *is extra trash* …only the Avatar can be hot and the absolute cutiest in equal ridiculous measures

Steal from - have Katara’s waterbending. I’d rather she just be my teacher but if this is the only way to get it!…

Serenade - the Secret Tunnel song @ Sokka, just to spite him. Frustrated!”LOGIC!!”!only-sane-man!Sokka is the best, even though I’d probably feel bad afterwards.

Oh god your colouring is so beautiful

THANK YOU!!<3 i did nothing special though, perhaps the show is just beautiful 

[alwynwitch]

Okay so I've been tagged :)

1. What was the first crush on a fictional you ever had? Remus Lupin, I think. I was fourteen years old.. Book!Remus of course, definitely not Movie!Remus. 

2. If you had the choice to meet one person in the world from the present or past, who would you choose? Lord Alfred Douglas. 

3. Have you ever stayed up for a whole night, if you did, what did you do and why? I think so, namely by sleeping parties when I was much younger and actually had friends. We talked and watched movies and ate lots of candies. 

4. Do you have any weird habits? Perhaps the question should be are some of your habits NOT weird lol. I talk a lot to myself when I'm alone, I also pace up and down in my room when thinking, wring in my hands when excited or nervous, twirl with my pencils in a very weird way. I always feel under my coat if I have actually clothes on and not still my pyjamas when leaving the house. (Not that it ever happened but you never know.) Well, etc. I'm sure there are more weird things. 

5. Would you prefer to get a pair of socks or gloves for Christmas? (this is a very important and essential question) Socks! I already have nice gloves, but socks always keep disapearing for some reason. 

6. What do you usually do if you can’t sleep? Thinking and imagining stories.

7. Would you prefer very beautiful and well cared hands of feet? Hands, they are the most visible.

8. If you could choose for one day to be invisible, or to be able to read minds (also for one day), what would you choose and why? Hmmm, I think being invisible because reading people's minds would be too scary. I don't want to know what other people think because I think I would be disappointed and paranoid for the rest of my life. 

9. Do you rather make a meal yourself or have someone else make it for you? Have someone else make it for me, as long as I like it. But I don't mind making meals for myself, I almost do it everyday.

10. Is there something you are craving for at the moment? Chocolate? Like I have no idea because right now I'm just focused on answering the questions but I always like chocolate so..?

11. A book you would love to see adapted for the screen? Good question.. Hmm I think a novel by Juliet Marillier. Also "Een groene bloem trilogie" by Floortje Zwigtman (dutch book series).

Woah your cat is seriously really handsome!

Thank you! Yes, she is a beautiful creature, especially when she's staring into the distance and not waging war on the furniture. :)

weir-woods replied to your photo: This is it. This is the design for my final exam....

Well the design looks really beautiful! I’m sure everything will work out fine :). Good luck!

Thank you! I hope so. I'm playing it safe, but I really hope so!
