Still Reading The Odyssey. How Have I Never Seen Anyone Bring Up A Headcanon That Odysseus Becomes Scared

This is probably like 3 years late, but why do y’all think we fight Dain? I personally think he succumbs to the curse of immortality and he goes insane from it.

"People mostly write and read very character driven, specific ship focused fic, because what most people want out of fanfiction is to focus on the romance between characters they're not getting in canon so they can soak in the vibes."

Yes, absolutely. And thank hell for all the authors who write character-driven, ship focused fic for us to soak in the vibes to.

But also…

thank hell for all the authors who write angst, whump, and hurt no comfort, for us to luxuriate in blorbo's hurt and pain and cry or cackle.

thank hell for all the authors who write cheating, love triangles and affairs for us to consume large quantities of popcorn to and yell 'oh no, they didn't'.

thank hell for all the authors who write case fic, mission fic, and intricate, plot-driven stories to replicate the feel of canon, when canon has stopped or gone wrong.

thank hell for all the authors who write 'fix it' fics when canon has betrayed us with bad vibes, plot holes and deaths.

thank hell for all the authors who write poly ships when what we need is just for everyone to get along and screw instead of screw up.

thank hell for all the authors who write gen fic when we're not interested in romance.

thank hell for all the authors in fandom, and all the wonderful, different kinds of fanfiction they write for us.

Creator’s note:

Does this picture look blurry to you? Like even if you click on the image to enlarge it? I don’t know why but I can’t seem to get tumblr to show the full resolution image. I worked hard to make faces that actually look like faces for once but now they’re just blurry blobs 😭. Anybody know how to fix? EDIT: thank you all for the feedback! I’m glad it is not blurry for you!

Know why you want to write

Before you start any writing project, it’s important to consider why you want to write it. Your reasons for writing can drastically change the way your project develops.

Writing for fun allows you absolute freedom, but writing to publish will come with extra considerations like genre, audience, and reader expectations.

Both are valid choices, but being aware of the freedoms and limitations of both approaches before diving in will set you up for a better writing experience.

Basic Cognitive Functions Guide

As an MBTI enthusiast, I like making little guides and notes to help me visualize and process information, so here ya go!

Two Attitudes

Extroverted (E): Functions oriented towards the real world—views things as is without personal alignment and filtering. "Breadth."

Introverted (I): Functions oriented towards the subject's world—views things through personal alignment and filtering. "Depth."

Two Categories

*Judging

Judging Function (Jx): Reason—a cause, explanation, or justification for an action or event—used to judge and decide.

Extraverted Judging (Je): Reasoning based on external effects. Looks at what should be.

Introverted Judging (Ji): Reasoning based on internal alignment. Looks at personalized principles.

*Perceiving

Perceiving Function (Px): Processes used in gathering or filtering information.

Extraverted Perceiving (Pe): Perceiving based on external exploration. Unfiltered gathering of information.

Introverted Perceiving (Pi): Perceiving based on internal narrowing down. Filtering information. 

Four Aspects

*Inter/personal ("emotional"): Human-based matters. *Impersonal ("logical"): Nonhuman-based matters.

Feeling Functions (Fx): Judgment metrics oriented towards people and inter/personal matters. Emotional reasoning.

Thinking Functions (Tx): Judgment metrics oriented towards things and impersonal matters. Logical reasoning.

Intuition Functions (Nx): Perceiving processes oriented towards intangible information. Abstract perception.

Sensing Functions (Sx): Perceiving processes oriented towards tangible information. Concrete perception.

Eight Cognitive Functions (putting it all together)

*Judging Functions:

Extraverted Feeling (Fe): Reasoning based on external inter/personal effects—emotional consequences. "What should be valued."

Extraverted Thinking (Te): Reasoning based on external impersonal effects—logical consequences. "What should work."

Introverted Feeling (Fi): Reasoning based on internal inter/personal alignment—emotional particularities. "What feels right to me."

Introverted Thinking (Ti): Reasoning based on internal impersonal alignment—logical particularities. "What makes sense to me."

*Perceiving Functions

Extraverted Sensing (Se): Perceiving based on external concrete exploration—unfiltered gathering of tangible information. "What is."

Extraverted Intuition (Ne): Perceiving based on external abstract exploration—unfiltered gathering of intangible information. "What if."

Introverted Sensing (Si): Perceiving based on internal concrete narrowing down—filtering tangible information. "What has been."

Introverted Intuition (Ni): Perceiving based on internal abstract narrowing down—filtering intangible information. "What will be."

I made this based on my understanding of Psychological Types by Carl Jung. Click here if you'd like to view the guide in a different format and see the direct quotes i used from Jung's book.
