Hi there!

I haven't been around for 2 years. I kinda thought no one would notice. But ig it would be rude to be gone without saying a thing!

The page is on permanent hiatus. I think there is nothing bad in things coming to an end. It's just how it goes. The fact that something in our life has come to an end does not make it any less important. Even when something ends up being a phase in our life, it means it was just what we needed during that specific part of our journey. As time passes, we might move on. And that's ok!

Just wanted y'all to know that I'm alive and well :D and thriving!

My art will stay on here and I hope you'll keep enjoying it ✨ I might still pop up every now and then to check for any new messages.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a part of my journey ❤

Hey, do you have any tips for letting go? I often tend to overwork myself. Random question but idk I felt that you may know. ^^'

Hi there anon! This is gonna be disappointing because I'm 100% unprepared to answer this 😅 I'm honestly so bad at letting things go (be it a hobby or some other activity, a job, a person, a relationship) that I either need external reasons to force me out of a situation (e.g. the other person takes the first step to end the relationship), or it just happens naturally. This means I sometimes get stuck in toxic situations and I'm aware of it - but still find it hard to let go, especially if under the delusion that I'm still gaining something positive out of it. Best tip I could give to anyone is try to find something/someone else that genuinely interests you more, so to trigger the process of naturally letting go out of boredom/focus shift. I have absolutely no clue how to willingly cut ties with something you don't WANT to cut ties with.

You mentioned overworking yourself, so I'm not sure this is the response you were expecting but I'm giving it my best shot lol

So as you might have noticed I've been on a hiatus for some time and I'll continue to be, due to multiple ongoing projects and lots of work to do

However I appreciate every single like and reblog and all the cute tags holy sh*t I swear to god I read ALL of them every morning and they always make my day 💖

Friendly reminder that Contrapoints has some not so great takes on non-sex-repulsed asexual folks, non-binary and non-dysphoria trans people, and bisexual people.

In case this needs explanation:

-lots of people who don’t experience sexual attraction to others still enjoy sexual pleasure

-non-binary, two-spirit, non-dysphoric, and other trans people who don’t fit in the typical cookie cutter idea of “transgender” have been around for ages

-bi people in a straight relationship are still bisexual. Pan people in a straight relationship are still Pan. If you’re gay and for some reason you end up in a straight relationship through repression or abuse then you are still gay.

It’s not that hard to respect other people.

Have you ever thought about what Enneagram type Terry is?

Short answer: she's a 3w4 with a strong 1 fix

Long answer: Terry gives very solid evidence of both 1 and 3 motivations and fears. To some extent, a core 1 would be better representative of Terry as a concept - the very reason why she exists in the first place. Terry does desire success, but more as a reward for a job well done than just a thing in itself. Her job is her top priority; she likes being good at her job, respected for it; she wants her peers to acknowledge the importance of her job and her being good at it; and her job is all about making things right. Nothing must ever be off. This "nothing" in the Accountant's mind equals to the Count, that is to say - the Natural Order of Things: in a way, the Accountant herself represents the Natural Order of Things, as she and the Jerries are - canonically - the Universe being self aware. So Terry can be seen as both the Keeper Of The Order (the Accountant) and the Order To Be Kept (the Universe) itself. In this sense, Terry and the Count are one and the same. Terry is the Count, she is not just the one who performs the act of Counting - she is the act of Counting (can count remotely, the giant abacus can be seen as an emanation of her mind, etc.) This sounds like the Platonic idea of a core 1. See also: she can't find anything more insulting for Joe than making him face the fact that he's cheating. The worst thing she can accuse someone of is breaking the rules. She never questions the good of her ways. This sounds pretty 1-ish to me, too.

So - why core 3 and not core 1?

There would be problems pinpointing the wing. The 1w9 is generally soft-spoken, quiet, more introverted, and has the 9 tendency to dissipate in the background to avoid conflict. Which doesn't sound like Terry. Terry will only dissipate in the background to ambush the heck out of fugitive souls. The 1w2 on the other hand tends to be more empathetic, is a skilled listener, enjoys being social, and is always eager to lend a hand. Which also doesn't sound like Terry. Terry displays 0 empathy, 0 desire to serve/help others/make herself useful for the sake of others, and her whole existence revolves around a never ending, repetitive, mechanical, solitary task that she seems to enjoy very much. Compare Terry, a 3w4 ESTJ, with 1w9 ESTJs such as Minerva McGonagall or Spock, and 1w2 ESTJs such as Bunnymund from Rise of the Guardians or Hermione Granger.

Terry is not just the lawful neutral sees-themselves-as-lawful-good core 1 xSTJ stereotype. She also has a very distinct personality, and 3w4 (assuming a 1 fix) fits it pretty well. A 3w4 wants to impress with their unique skills and expertise; the 4 wing gives them a desire to be consistant and true to themselves, so they won't just shapeshift to please others/mantain their image - or at least not as often as other 3s; they prefer to work alone to focus on improving and succeeding; they are overly confident and can come off as arrogant, entitled, self-centered, and/or sore losers. Terry's desire to be admired, rewarded for her peak performances, and respected by her peers (to the point of forcing them to acknowledge her success if they don't provide the positive feedback she knows she deserves!) is indeed the most prominent bit of her personality, which characterizes her as an individual.

I agree with Personality Database typing her 3w4 sp/so 316. Charity from Funky MBTI also typed her 3w4.

queer as in gay but also queer as in unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
