Greetings from your favorite agent of chaos, the maker of the Incest Sister Rage tape, and the Official Yates Bull Dog! Yes, it’s me, Mia. And while your muses are frolicking around Tuscany, smelling of marinara sauce and sweet wine, I’ve got a task for you! Drum roll....... psychoanalysis! Yes, you heard me right. All you astrology sluts and MBTI aficionados, this one’s for you! I invite you to delve into the fucked up depths of your character’s mind and tell us all about how they think. You can use as many indicators of personality as you want: MBTI, astrology, enneagram, archetype, Hogwarts house, whatever you want! You can even compare them to other muses/fictional characters/real life people. Get creative, I know you can! For reference here is Selene’s. As always, make sure to use the tag YATESTASK005. Have fun my little psychoanalysts!
