My manga collection (October 2023)

I did a post detailing my manga collection back in 2021, but it's grown a lot since then so I figured I'd make a new post! It was also a good time to do so because we're repainting my room and while there's usually a ton of anime merch in front of the books on my shelves, now it's all been packed up.

first of all: thank you so much for making this!!! i'm a fairly new fan and one of my primary concerns when getting into a new fandom is if it's lgbt-friendly, so it's incredibly heartwarming to see active, positive representation. as for headcanons: yumiko and yukiko are both trans girls! yumiko came out when she was younger and later helped yukiko feel comfortable and safe enough to start transitioning. i hope all the best for this blog, you're wonderful!!! ❤️💝💛💚💙💜

We’re glad to make a new fan feel happy in this fandom! I can definitely understand how it can be a little hard, especially when it comes to how people are going to respond to LGBT headcanons, but luckily you’ve come to the right place!

Trans girls Yumiko and Yukiko is beautiful. They’re already such good friends and it makes perfect sense for Yumiko to help Yukiko and to be supportive of her. Thank you for making our first submitted headcanon such a lovely and inspiring one, Anon!

My Manga Collection (January 2021)

Instinctual Stack :  Self-Preserving,  Social, Intimate

Your Worldview

Core Wiring | Type 6

You want to be safe, secure, fit in, and belong; but most importantly, you want to have certainty, a trusted friend, or a known system to put your faith in. You are the true devil's advocate and can always see both sides of every issue. You may struggle with feelings of fear, doubt, and/or anxiety, and risk undermining or blaming others to protect yourself. You may manage your fear by focusing on what could go wrong and by avoiding perceived hazards. Alternatively, you may face your fears and take calculated risks to prove that you are not afraid. Secretly, you still prepare. You feel that the world is a dangerous place. Most people have hidden agendas, so you must focus on security, loyalty, and trustworthiness. At your best, you are courageous, supportive, engaging, dedicated and loyal.

Tritype Wiring | 6-8-3

You are ambitious, inquisitive and protective. You want to be accomplished, loyal and straight-forward. Verbally adept and a good reader of people and situations, you have the ability to identify unjust authority, rebel against tyranny and verbally spar against it. You want to get along with others but can struggle with being too outspoken.

Instinctual Wiring | Self-preserving

You think about you need to do to feel safe and secure. Most of all, you secretly worry about being unable to make it on your own. You are wary of others that are not friendly and responsive. Yo can be warm, friendly and industrious. You are attentive to those to whom you are attached. You choose your friends carefully and like long-term relationships built on trust that stand the test of time. Secretly,  you run high anxiety and routinely track your resources and supplies.

Inner World of Type 6

Core Fears

Your core fears are of being blamed and punished for something you didn’t do, and being misled or unsafe in a dangerous world. This may be expressed as either fearing authority and becoming passive-aggressive or challenging authority and becoming provocative and aggressive. You may have a fear of being alone, unsupported and/or unprotected. You may also have a fear of fear -- thinking that if you are afraid, you might become paralysed and cowardly- unprepared and unable to defend yourself and others when needed.

Core Desires

To be safe, secure, certain, protected, and supported, as well as to have clear structures and a sense of belonging so you can take calculated risks and contribute to a noble cause.

Core Needs

You need predictability and the security of feeling like you belong. You long for trustworthy guidance to manage your feelings of fear and doubt. You're a "proof junkie" who tests people, ideas, and beliefs numerous times to see if they merit your loyalty. You tend to need reassurance, encouragement, and positive feedback from friends and loved ones.

Core Beliefs

The world is chaotic, unpredictable and easily-angered. It's best to stay alert, be vigilant, and prepare for all worst-case scenarios. I must seek trustworthy friends to make myself a support group to keep my world safe and predictable.

Outer World of Type 6

Strategies

You scan for problems and inconsistencies to prepare for all worst-case scenarios. You doubt and question, seeking reassurance and guidance from trustworthy sources. You are hypervigilant, thinking and analyzing instead of acting.

Impact of Strategies

Having conducted a sweeping analysis of the environment for threats, you feel you have enough confidence, information, support, and trustworthy guidance to feel safe, certain and secure.

What’s Great About You

You are warm, friendly, curious, loyal, dutiful, committed, and dedicated. You are a faithful and dependable friend, co-worker, and family member. When necessary, you are brave and courageous.

Attention goes to…

Your attention goes to feelings of fear, doubt and scanning the environment for danger and hidden motives or agendas. You have a tendency to focus on the worst-case scenario. Your fears and doubts can keep you from taking action and/or trusting yourself and others. You may at times be overly phobic and at other times overly counter-phobic.

Journey to Higher Self

Spiritual Path

Your spiritual path is to reclaim your sense of faith and courage and see unity instead of differences. In your search for security, remember that the only real security lies in cultivating faith and trust in yourself.

Journey of trasformation

Your transformation journey involves:

1. Realizing that overthinking, second-guessing and analyzing what can go wrong doesn't actually change anything and that you must take steady, appropriate action to actually change your situation. 

2. Trusting the natural intelligence of the universe.

3. Recognizing that all the guidance and authority you need is already inside of you.

Mantra

As you learn to relax and trust yourself, fear will often turn to excitement and courage. You need to remember that people are far more alike than they are different. Learn to embrace what is new and unfamiliar as an opportunity. Instead of idealizing those who rescue or protect others, overcome your tendency to hesitate or doubt and take action instead.
