Sometimes I think about my old manager at work who, in order to prove that the organisation was safe for trans people, told me about a fellow trans employee—a woman who was passing! who wasn’t out to me or to anyone else!—and about how chill everyone in management had been about her needing to take time off TO GET VAGINOPLASTY. He was not her manager! He was not her friend! He did not work in HR! There was no way he could have come into this PRIVATE MEDICAL INFORMATION without being told by another manager who had gossiped. And even if there had been, why the fuck was it any of my business!

Likewise, a friend of mine was just told by a school principal about how a prospective school was safe for trans kids… because a trans girl whose parents don’t affirm her at home is able to be affirmed at school. This information about this child’s gender and home environment was relayed along with her FUCKING GRADE LEVEL. This incredibly vulnerable kid was wheeled out as a selling point by the school with way more than enough information to figure out who she was.

In order to make the argument that a place is safe for trans people, cis people are wayyyy too happy to give out private information about trans people. With allies like these, who needs enemies!!!

The request I've been waiting for /dra /hj

/mostly serious I'm going to be fr

OK I'D BE HAPPY TO, might take a hot second though to get it all typed out, I'll @ you when I post it 👀

Time to rant about enneagrams once again, and IT'S TOBI'S TURN THIS TIME AROUND

(This post is a countinuation from this)

I want to go more into detail about Fenn too cause I didn't mention his tri-center last time, and that's also an important aspect about enneagram, so I might mention him at some point.

(Just to be clear, I still have a lot to learn about enneagram, so some things I say might not be completely accurate to theory)

I'll start by giving a quick (spoiler: it wasn't that quick) definition of what a tri-center is, just so you don't have to look it up. To keep it simple, the nine different enneagram types divide in 3 centers of intelligence: the heart/feeling triad (2, 3 and 4), the gut/instinctive triad (8, 9 and 1) , and the head/thinking triad (5, 6 and 7). We all have a primary center that belongs to one of these triads, but since we humans aren't all gut, all heart or all mind, we also have a center from the other two triads. These don't tend to be as predominant as the primary, but they're still there and they define the way our other ways of processing the world apart from our main work. Each center is also tied to certain emotions: anger and rage for gut, guilt and shame for heart, and fear and anxiety for head.

Actually, to put Fenn as an example: he'a a type 1, a gut type. His wing is a 2, so he shares many things with heart types as well (this actually fits his character pretty well). His tri-center would be 1-2-6 (he's likely a 6, but he could possibly be a 5 too).

Now, going back to Tobi.

He's definitely been a lot more complicated to define than Fenn. I'm pretty sure he's a type two, but I don't know whether he's w3 or w1, which leads me to think he might have balanced wings (shares equal amount of qualities from both), or that I'm just misstyping him.

Twos are loving, compassionate, adapting, generous, supportive, and tuned in to how people feel. Their core desire is to feel loved and wanted for who they are, while their fear is being unloved or unneded, and when they're unhealthy they can become people pleasers, (and here's where I feel like we start drifting away from Tobi a little->) manipulative, martyr-like and intrusive.

The thing is, type two and nine very often get misstyped for the other because they're very similar, and I'm actually still unsure about which one Tobi is. But assuming his core is two, his tri-center would still be 2-9-6 (heart, gut, head in that order), so the nine is still present there. Another thing to add is when a type is in stress or unhealthy, it tends to start behaving like a different one. In 2s case it would be 8, but I believe Tobi might have 9 tendencies when stressed (stressed 9s tend to neglect serious issues, repress negative emotions, become people pleasers and act passive-agressive). Either that, or he's just actually a 9 type, and then his tri-center would be 9-2-6.

WOW OK THIS GOT LONGER THAN I WAS EXPECTING. I was gonna talk about the wings next, but I think I might leave that to another post so this doesn't become an essay lmao

[codthefishgod]

I'd be happy to yap about it with you, tbh I've spent so many hours analysing Fenn & Tobi's personalities in Discord DMs with my best friend that having some nice shiny official titles to the theories would be lovely lol. I LOVE ANALYSING CHARACTERS 🎉🔥

YAY MORE ENNEAGRAM STUFF 🎉🎉🎉

I will say I have mixed feeling about this one, Fenn's felt so accurate that it was like someone was specifically writing about his character, and this one, while accurate in some parts, feels...detached. It's probably because, at least to me, Tobias is much harder to understand than Fenn off the bat. Fenn is very straightforward and is almost incapable of really hiding how he's feeling emotionally, so we understand who he is and why he does things much better. Tobias in a way is largely up to interpretation and I think opinions on his character within the fandom are much more varied from person to person.

I will say I do think Tobias is led by his heart, so I think that's accurate (if you analyse his actions and why he does things, they tend to be or appear to be founded in emotion, I could actually write an analysis on this- if I do I'll go on for forever though lmao)

Bernard. Because I was about to say Bernard Shepherd until Bernard showed up

oh, so you like dogs? name one dog

this is the dog, you can name them :)

One of my favorite yuri related things is actually this Japanese article I found once that was like. Directed at younger himejoshi. So I put it through google translate because I was curious and it had a bunch of tips like "if you have a friend who is also a yuri fan... maybe you can go see a movie about girls together! But REMEMBER. Be sure to let her know in advance if you want to be 😳 more than friends 😳" and I genuinely thought it was so funny and cute that it was like "WARNING: we know manga likes to string things along but you cannot do that in real life you need to make your intentions known" LMAO

The aforementioned "stuff I wanted to print out today" lol. I feel slightly lamer sharing these than the first ones, but I really love symbolism and how the governments and countries in Faroff have been fleshed out so far, so info cards on their national symbols!

And the poem is something I've shared on here before, I found it forever ago and it just SCREAMS Faroff to me so that too :)))))

Just wanted to mention I made this gif soon after the faroff x specter crossover thing cause I haven't stopped thinking about it tbh

[codthefishgod]

[codthefishgod]

YES I WAS WONDERING WHO MY FELLOW FENN CHOOSER WAS, I KNEW I COULD COUNT ON YOU SUN 🎉🎉🎉

I'm curious, who's your favourite Faroff character?

I don't actually expect anyone to pick anyone other than our main trio so get hit with the "other" option

edit: UGH I FORGOT TO CLOSE THE PARENTHESIS THAT'S GONNA BOTHER ME

[codthefishgod]

Okay guys look I always knew I'd be in the minority for having Fenn as my favourite. I knew the people would flock to Tobias. But I did not expect to be outnumbered THIS HARD.

Printers are NOT taken advantage of enough I stg, I have more Faroff stuff I want to print out today 👁

Abled Person: Hey man, can you hold this wad of $2,000 and this one penny for me while I open my wallet?

Disabled Person: YOU COMPLETE AND UTTER FOOL!

The United States Government:

Oskar IS an excellent choice, he's showed up so little but I feel like this entire fandom is in love with him lmao

Oddly enough the same reasons why you chose Tobias are the same reasons why I choose Fenn personally (can't believe I'm being squished so far into the minority, I voted on my own poll to even things out a bit and to see how it was going and DAMN are you all a bunch of Tobias lovers), I'm a sucker for the disillusionment arc and I love me a protagonist who still has a lot to learn about the world and what the truth is and isn't. I should probably write up an analysis on why exactly Fenn's my favourite character actually (I will say it's in no small part because I relate to him in a lot of ways though)

Btw Fenn's enneagram is 1w2. No one can prove me otherwise
