FLASH CHARACTER CREATION.

Unabashedly stolen from https://cadewrites.tumblr.com/post/615807807587024896/flash-character-creation

Send in an ask with a class, species, one (or more) prompt words, and a setting/genre. Then I’ll come up with a name, personality, character profile, a bit of character background, and a short writing piece. A day after answering the ask, I’ll provide a character moodboard.

If you want to remain on anon, that’s fine. I’ll mark each one with a distinct emoji.

Have fun! :)

When it comes to creating the meaning in our own lives, what happens when it all starts to feel fabricated? By that I mean, sometimes the meaning I've ascribed to events in my life, or even objects, becomes hollow or even feels like a lie I'm telling myself just to quell my fears or to make me feel like I have a greater purpose. It just doesn't feel real, and I end up yearning for the "real" meaning to come. (INFP)

[another anon: I’m an nfj. I don’t know what my purpose in life is and it feels like I’m just drifting. Everything is going well but I feel like I’m missing something. Can you guide me in the right direction to find meaning in life.]

Finding meaning is important for its own sake, so it should not be used merely as a “tool to quell fears”. Doing this basically amounts to using “meaning” as a defense mechanism, very similar to rationalization where you just interpret a situation in whatever angle suits your ego - it is self-deception (see the section on defense mechanisms).

The search for meaning is a difficult lifelong quest. You are under no moral obligation to undertake this quest unless you believe it is a good way to spend your time, but it is the process through which a person comes to know the truth of who they really are in the world. If you are not getting closer to this truth, then you’re doing something else that leads you into inauthentic living, which would be counterproductive to personal growth.

“Meaning” won’t just drop into your lap as you sit there yearning. As an introvert, meaning involves utilizing your extraverted functions; as an extravert, meaning involves utilizing your introverted functions, then you can reconcile the two halves of yourself into a whole. The search for meaning is done by oneself for oneself, nobody can define it for you, nobody can walk the path for you, nobody can hand you meaning like handing a lost traveler a map. To feel impatient means that you care more about the result than the process, failing to understand that the journey is more important than the destination. When you don’t value the process, you are not mindful of your current surroundings/situation, and how then would you reach the right destination? This seems counterintuitive to a lot of people because they want to treat type development like following a map that someone else has already drawn up for them, but actually type development is about drawing your own map in life. The Type Development guide only gives you a rough outline of what to do because the rest is up to you. It can only tell you that you need to find more meaning in your life in order to fulfill your potential, but it cannot give you step-by-step instructions about how to do it, because that would defeat the point as it would prevent you from learning how to draw your own map (introverting) for navigating the world successfully (extraverting).  

You search for meaning in life because you love yourself and want to enrich your life, to be the best you can be and live the best life you can live. You shouldn’t search for meaning because you fear being nothing, you fear being inadequate, you fear criticism, you fear wasting time, you fear emptiness, etc. In other words, doing things out of fear is not a good idea. When you only value “meaning” because you imagine it will lead you to some perfect result that eliminates what you fear/dislike (e.g. a state/place where you never have to feel bad about anything anymore), then you won’t be searching for the right thing because you’re living in fantasy and stepping farther away from the full truth of who you are in this world. The full truth of you includes things that you like and dislike.

Everyone is an individual, so each person finds a different way, though your way can resemble others of your type even as the details differ. For example, NFJs often find meaning in life by being of service to others or helping to improve society, and there are a million ways to do it; NFPs often find meaning in life by creating something special that enriches life for themselves and the people around them. Your way is for you to discover. Sometimes you make decisions that lead you in the wrong direction, which is good because you discover something about who you aren’t meant to be. Sometimes you make decisions that lead you in the right direction, which is good because you discover something about who you are meant to be. Both paths are equally important for growth.

this is 100% me

Could you also do the crush thing for INFP, please? :)

Fi makes it easy for INFPs to know if they really like someone, but inferior Te makes it hard for them to decide upon the right course of action. Through Ne, INFPs may enjoy a crush internally for quite a long period of time, imagining all sorts of scenarios, before they feel ready to actually pursue a person. This can turn out to be counterproductive if they end up seeing the person unrealistically or idealizing them in some way. Because of Fi, INFPs are generally interested in knowing people very intimately, so they may try whatever means they can think of to learn as much about someone as possible, usually from afar or through people adjacent to the crush. Since INFPs are prone to low self-esteem/confidence, it can be hard for them to work up enough courage to take action, so they may begin by befriending the person first. They will gently wriggle their way into the crush’s life, and then their warm, accepting, and gently charming nature can quickly deepen the bond and help them build some confidence.

From the other person’s perspective: Fi makes it difficult for INFPs to deceive others, so they usually find it hard to hide their feelings, which may be why they first keep some distance and go through the “imagining” stage. Emotions need to be expressed, however, so sometimes you can tell what’s on the mind of INFPs by looking at their creative output, assuming you have the chance to see it. If an INFP has strong feelings for you but wants to hide them for whatever reason, they will probably end up acting awkward or erratic when face to face with you, because they feel overexcited and have no place to release the energy in the moment; look for (uncharacteristically) nervous laughter, strange giddiness, stumbling over words, mixed signals, etc. Trust can be a big issue for some INFPs and some feel a high need to protect their emotions, so if they reveal a lot to you and take a strong interest in your life by assertively getting to know you, it is usually a good sign. However, INFPs are naturally curious about people and like to share with others, so you need to look at their behaviors in a relative way by comparing how they approach you versus how they treat others. The intensity of their curiosity and energy for interacting should be stronger with you. Although, it is important to note that shy or more withdrawn INFPs may behave oppositely, trying to avoid you for fear of you discovering their feelings (their Ne will probably paralyze them with doubts). If the INFP is of the timid variety, it is probably better to start off with a close friendship, and then make the first move yourself in order to bypass any shyness, doubt, or indecisiveness on their part.

I feel the deepest sadness Of the most grievous hurt. Nothing now my heart can fire But regret and desire. He who was my dearest Already is my plight. The day that shone the clearest For me is darkest night.

 Ode to Francis II, Mary Stuart (Queen of Scots)

We literally are on week 2 of the new year… y'all don’t have to get your shit together right now as we speak … slow and steady wins the race.

You just need to try, even if you fail over and over. Keep trying until you get it right and stay focused on your goal.

top 50 ships of all time (as voted by my followers) #30. francis & mary (reign) “My dearest Mary, if you are reading this, then you are leaving France to reclaim your Scottish throne. I always knew this day would come and I wish I could be at your side as you set sail to take back what is yours. In the darkest of times, you were my conscience. Your heart was a light, Mary, and it burned so very bright for France. No matter how far you go, that light will burn forever. I have left you a gift, something i made for you to fight for what is yours and for what you know in your heart is right. I love you, Mary Stuart. Forever.”

“I wanted to tell the book thief many things, about beauty and brutality. But what could I tell her about those things that she didn’t already know? I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race-that rarely do I ever simply estimate it. I wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant.”

“If you stay, I’ll do whatever you want. I’ll quit the band, go with you to New York. But if you need me to go away, I’ll do that, too. I was talking to Liz and she said maybe coming back to your old life would be too painful, that maybe it’d be easier for you to erase us. And that would suck, but I’d do it. I can lose you like that if I don’t lose you today. I’ll let you go. If you stay.”
