But just imagine someone going through all this and finally seeing someone else move during a pause.

“Because I’m not a thief, and it’s not fair to those who were in line in front of me.” The girl took advantage of the guy being on the ground to pin him with the chair, two legs on each side of him. She leaned over the back, peering down at him. “Besides, if I hadn’t waited, I wouldn’t be able to get my revenge.”

The man looked up at her curiously. “Have we met before?”

“No,” she snapped. “I’m just your opposite. Whenever you freeze time, I keep going, just like you.”

He chuckled. “That doesn’t sound too bad. Time to clean, enjoy yourself, read a book…”

“Except I don’t know when you’re going to start it back.” She thought about slumping into the chair she had him pinned under, but then realized that would put her in a compromising position. Instead, she just leaned on the armrest. “You don’t realize how many times I’ve been accused of not caring about a conversation because I lost track of what we were talking about after waiting for someone to say something for what felt like hours, or times I’ve decided to take care of something else for you to restart time and I’m just gone. Also, if I’m in a car or bus, I’m just stuck in traffic until time restarts. Not to mention the fact that I’m still using energy so I’m exhausted before the end of the day, or I wake up when you’ve frozen time in the middle of the night and I can’t go back to sleep.”

As she ranted, the villain became more and more sheepish. “I just assumed whoever was still active with me would be grateful for the time. I hadn’t realized…” He trailed off before looking up at the circles under her eyes. “I thought you’d barely notice.”

“When I’m alone, I don’t always, and it’s not as bad. I’ll get lost in cleaning my apartment or reading a book, doing my work, but that’s sometimes a detriment itself.” She sniffled, wiping her nose on her sweater. “You know I was under investigation for cheating? When I was taking my college admission exam, you froze time right after I received the test and started it back as I finished. I hadn’t even realized time was frozen. I had just continued working, thinking I was taking the standard amount of time. To everyone else, it looked like I’d finished this hundred-plus question exam with an essay in about a minute. When I actually had a full essay and most of my answers were correct, they asked how I’d cheated, if I had an answer sheet hidden in my clothes or had written my essay ahead of time. I tried to explain that sometimes time froze for everyone but me, but no one believed me, or those that did believe time was freezing thought I was doing it on purpose. I… I felt insane.”

He wiggled his way out from under the chair, but instead of running he leaned against the opposite armrest. “Were you able to convince anyone?”

She nodded. “My mom and my roommates. Since I never knew when you were going to freeze time, we just made a plan where the next time you froze time I rearranged furniture, enough that I wouldn’t have had enough time if time weren’t frozen. I can’t prove it to college professors or police, though. They kinda stop believing me when I can’t control it and we’re waiting days for you to freeze time.”

He thought carefully for a moment before going to the bank teller desk, writing a phone number on a post-it note, then bringing the pad and a pencil back. “Here, write your number down.” She gave him an incredulous look. “So I can let you know if I’m about to freeze time. I also wrote down my number so you can let me know if you have something important that you can’t let get interrupted, or if you’re being interrogated and need to prove that you’re not in control.”

She gave a cautious smile. “You just looking for an excuse to get my number?”

“Hah, no. You’re not my type.” The two laughed a moment before he let out a sigh. “Actually, I get it. I also got in trouble over tests in school. It’s why I let myself be tested on to give me powers.”

He fidgeted nervously, playing with the remaining stack of post it notes while the girl wrote her number down. “I have dyslexia, but I couldn’t get accommodations because my teachers thought I wasn’t trying hard enough and my grades were too good. I could figure things out, but I needed time, so homework was fine but I couldn’t take tests with a time limit. The hope was I’d read better, but I somehow ended up with the ability to stop time so I’d have all the time I needed. I’m sorry my powers made test taking harder for you.”

She gave a small smile as she handed him the note with her number. “It’s okay, I think I’m on a government watch list, but it’s fine.”

He snickered, putting the note in his pocket and returning the notes and pencil where they were. “Well, I guess I’d better get going. Think you can stand another five minutes to give me a head start?”

She shrugged. “I’ve got plenty of time.”

Revealing Comic's Cover

Here is the comic cover I made for my assignment. I've finished it and the comic is ready for printing (the deadline is today). So I made this comic with my teammate, I created the stories, sketch and they helped me with coloring. I would tag them if I could but I don't think they own a Tumblr? This cover is fully by me though.

Some explanation :

So the title of the comic is "Brain Cog" since you know Brain Fog + Cognitive Functions

The story tries to make Cognitive Functions more accessible to the public eye by using Inside Out method, giving it an actual person / body to do things with. This person hasn't had a name yet but I call them "user" from the MBTI's POV. I may talk about them more later

This was a very fun and insane experience because imagine having to explain what cognitive functions are to my lecturer and professional comic editors for midterm

The comic is fully colored so GOODNESS does this take a long time to make

Did some tweaking in the function's design, like how Ni has a much more singular hue

✨ Fullmetal Alchemist Starter Pack ✨

Someone on BiliBili requested for strike hawk. And I did just that. I had such a great time doing these! + and hard time putting them together as one image, so I decided to post them separate.

Letting the past go.

"If I was who you think your mark is, I would call the police. If I was a better person, I’d incapacitate you, then try and get you help.

"I am not who you think your mark is. I am not a better person. I am, in fact, a far worse person.

"So let me make this clear. The shadows that surround you are not yours. They are mine. You cannot escape a shadow anymore than you can escape your body–and I have no intention of letting you out of yours.

Shit.

I scrambled for my phone and dug through my contents to find my boss. “Pleassse pick up,” I muttered to myself. My tongue flicked out and I hissed the s, which made me stop. That wasn’t a stupid cartoon thing, that was real?! On a more positive note, I did learn it was true that snakes could taste air. As my tongue flicked out I could sense a million little things about my environment, things I never picked up on before. Like the colony of mice living in my apartment walls. My stomach growled.

No no no! I was not going to hunt for mice! “Get yourssself together!” I told myself.

My boss finally picked up. “Oh no, what is it?” He asked.

“I have to call in sssick today,” I said, hoping the hiss would be enough to tell him what was wrong. It did, but he didn’t react the way I wanted him too.

He sighed. “Great, it’s happened to you too. Well, I’m sorry, the project deadline is next week and we have nothing to show for it! You need to come in and just try to work around your… current state.”

“My ‘current ssstate!?!’” I nearly shouted. I was about to say some things that would have probably gotten me fired, but my boss just hung up on me. The stupid audacity of that man!!! I muttered my profane rant under my breath as I got ready for work. At least if I came in for work I could work on a cure.

To make my commute I had to nearly mummify myself to hide my new features. I put on a hoodie over a t-shirt, baggy jeans that I stuffed my tail into, sunglasses, and a mask around my nose and mouth. Hopefully it would also muffle my hissing. I boarded the subway just like everyone else, but I was ridiculously overdressed. While everyone else wore t-shirts and shorts, I was suffering in the scorching 91 degree August weather. A few people gave me weird looks, but most just ignored me.

One kid, however, kept staring at me in the slackjawed brain dead way kids did. I was not in the mood to get stared at, so I made sure no one was watching, pulled my sunglasses down, and lowly hissed at him. His expression changed into one of complete horror and he started crying. Normally I would have felt bad but instead I just smirked as his mother consoled him.

When I made it to the building I was pleased to see that I wasn’t the only person pissed about this. The lobby was packed with my coworkers, most of which showed some sort of animal trait. The crowd was filled with fur, scales, feathers, claws, fangs, horns, and tails. I took off my hoodie, sunglasses, and mask so everyone could see that I was affected too. In the center of the crowd was my boss, who was also effected. Black feathers stuck out of his hair and pressed black suit. He wasn’t wearing shoes because there was no way his new bird talons were going to fit into his normal dress shoes. He was trying to comfort the crowd, but I couldn’t hear him over the angry roar of the crowd.

“Alright alright ALRIGHT!!!” He shouted, somewhat quieting the crowd. “Look I know you’re mad, okay! I’m affected too! But we have a project due next week and nothing to show for it!”

“Nothing to show for it!?!” A man shrieked. We all turned and saw that his head was almost entirely shark. He was over by the fish tank in the lobby and had his gills underwater so he could breathe. He pulled his head out to talk. “We have plenty to show for it! Look at us! I bet if we took a group picture and sent it to the big boss he’d see we’ve been PLENTY busy!!!”

“Well, yeah… but the project wasn’t to turn us all into animals! This was an accident that we can easily work around and have something to show at the end of the week. We all just have to work together–”

“Fuck the project and fuck you!!!” I shouted. “We all are going to cure ourssselves, and if you want a CHANCCCE of getting a dossse you better shut up and let usss work!!!”

He hesitated and rubbed his face. “F-fine. But this isn’t an excuse to delay the project! I still want a report on my desk on time!”

The crowd grumbled, but we all realized that this was the best we were going to get and dispersed. I punched in my time clock, followed by one of my coworkers who now had cat ears, whiskers, and a tail.

“I hope HR comesss down hard on his assss,” I grumbled.

“You didn’t hear? HR caught the virus too. From the way she sounded, our boss isn’t going to have a job tomorrow,” he said.

I’ve never seen anyone do this???

Just so you know I threw the functions wherever I saw them fit, so not all houses will have two

Gryffindor: Se

Hufflepuff: Fe, Si, Fi

Ravenclaw: Ti, Ni

Slytherin: Te, Ne

(Though, if I had to say, Gryffindor feels like Sensing, Hufflepuff like Feeling, Ravenclaw like Thinking, and Slytherin like iNtuition, but I thought the above was better.

An attempt to explain cognitive functions and the actions they may produce without conflating character.

Te V Ti

Te

Te is a judging function that is conscious and external. For a Tj to make a judgement they have to have to conclude that this is the most simple solution. This means Te can lack nuance and depth, favouring functionality over detail. Contrary to the stereotype, a Tj can have many contradicting beliefs, because they don't naturally consider things in an internally logical manner. This desire for quick functionality can make Tjs brash and impulsive. They may overshare or accidentally start conflicts by not thinking through their words. Tjs do a lot of their deeper thinking by speaking with someone else, and may change their mind during the course of the debate.

Te respects skill, so Tjs can easily defer to those more qualified than them UNLESS that person is inefficient or immoral. If Te disagrees with someone, it is still capable of respecting them for their passion, dedication, and efficiency. Te wants things to work properly, so Tjs can be passionate about changing the system so that it's more efficient and fair. Te aims to reach peak efficiency and is idealistic in its desire to always improve.

When te feels threatened, Tjs may retaliate forcefully. They may say things they don't mean, or things that don't even make sense. Worse, Tjs may retreat into Fi and withdraw. They may become convinced no one loves them and everyone is persecuting them. They may invent very strange proofs for this, and push everyone away.

Te enjoys talking through ideas, but it doesn't enjoy debating. A Tj's true convictions come from low Fi, so they hold their beliefs passionately, and can be easily offended by disagreement. If the other person doesn't agree, they can reflexively judge them as immoral. In a personal argument, Tjs can become defensive and oversensitive, so it's best to address things as clearly as you can. Any suggestion that they've upset you or caused problems will upset them, and can distract them from the fixable issue. Te enjoys talking with everybody and wants to be liked and respected, but low Fi can make Tjs uncomfortable developing deeper relationships. Thanks to the high te/low Fi pairing they are passionate, idealistic, romantic, brash, and sensitive people, and superficial relationships can be easier for them to manage.

Tjs are stereotyped as being cold and uncaring, but their low Fi means they care very deeply about those they love. They can easily feel threatened by other people, and take great care to handle other's feelings delicately (even if they don't always admit it. But there's no way they want to risk making someone cry and having to deal with THAT). Talking through feelings is something they're very good at (because they're good at talking), but they may struggle to separate their own feelings from the other person's. This can mean they feel terrible if they're not able to cheer the other person up, since low Fi will absorb the negative feelings. They want to show love as efficiently as possible, and aren't afraid to just SAY it. However, they believe actions speak much louder than words, and are more likely to give tangible support when you need it (giving up time, money, etc without a second thought. Because OF COURSE they'll provide for you!). Thanks to te, they want you to be the best you you can be. They're happy to make suggestions if you're not really sure what that means, and will encourage you to pursue your dreams if you do. May also make suggestions as to how to do that.

PSA: these guys want to be scary, but they aren't. They're much more scared of you than you are of them 😂 I've also noticed they have a tendency to ignore their own passions for something that works and sounds good, so pls - encourage your Tjs to follow their dreams (low Fi in their case). Especially since they'll probably be encouraging and enabling you to follow yours.

Ti

Ti is a judging fiction that is conscious and internal. For a tp to make a judgement they have to consciously sort things through in a way that makes sense to them. This does NOT mean tps ignore or hate people. It simply means they have to trust their judgement before another person's.

A tp will be able to defer to someone else if they believe that person to be more skilled in a certain area. They will be able to follow rules if they believe those rules to be fair and important. They aren't actually INCAPABLE of following rules.

While it's true this function doesn't naturally trust others easily, this does not lead to cold, robotic outcomes. Ti is able to see the logic behind relationships, and the need for some give and take. Relationally, Ti can struggle to know how to connect with a person, since it's very internal. Tps will feel connected with a person if they respect another person's thought process. They will be willing to share their ideas and debate them. I haven't found Tps who enjoy debating with just anyone, but I do agree that they can be argumentative with their friends and family. And they may be discouraged to find debating isn't a great way to show most people you like them and want to be friends. Ti can learn to essentially copy people, and tps can become very socially adept.

People expect love from a tp to be robotic, but since Fe is so low in their stack, they can be very empathetic, good listeners. Essentially, they don't really know what to do when people are upset, so they just try to absorb as much information as possible to make a judgement. A tp will ultimately prefer to help in a concrete way, by making you tea, hugging you, or doing a chore for you, but they definitely want to take the time to understand how you feel. Tps aren't comfortable handling people's feelings and want to avoid real conflict where possible, so it's only logical that they emotionally check in with you if your behaviour is a little off. If a tp is unable to help you feel better they can become quiet and withdrawn, feeling the upset very personally, since low Fe feels responsible for others. A tp will do their best to keep you safe, and may try to protect you in very odd ways.

weird, as in the most unstereotypical, yet stereotypical INTJ eva.

DEAD quiet in crowds (weren’t expecting that, were you?)

SUPER LOUD around family. i’m not even kidding. he talks more than me. a LOT more. and it’s a weird kind of talk too. he’ll just randomly spout some observation he makes at the weirdest of times and then not care that nobody’s listening. (but i’m always listening, not sure if he knows that…)

✨ a n x i e t y ✨

typical INXJ death stare. his eyes will dig holes into your soul.

very pretty brown eyes btw. they’re like milk chocolate :)

hates himself and is low key proud of it, i think

serious all the timmmmeee (it’s so annoyingggggg)

would rather chop off his hand than leave a typo in text messages and emails

has one (1) flannel shirt he wears all the time and that’s it (clean and wrinkle-free of course)

fiercely committed to my books and reads each chapter the moment i publish one. leaves a sweet comment on each, but only adds a star if he really likes it.

aWkWard

only ever looks for the negative in situations, doesn’t know what the bright side even means. it bothers the heck out of me and we have fought about it several times. sun vs. clouds kinda deal i guess

talks in a british accent 50% of the time. wut?

isn’t afraid to tell me i’m wrong. he’s always right of course. never wrong about anything at all. absolutely faultless thinking. cuz he’s always right. 

proud of his weirdness

EMOTIONS! more emotional than all of my INFP’s combined  ._. 

loves hugs. doesn’t know how to give them

also doesn’t know how to receive them

sensitive boi

complains really loudly i don’t even know

told me he respects only two people-me and our (INTP) uncle. he explained that he only respects people who actually understand him somewhat, and accept him for who he is. also cuz he thinks we are smarter than him and i can’t convince him otherwise.

130 pounds of trust issues

sings and hums. constantly. (only with fam though obviously)

very sensitive

clinically depressed, but wouldn’t touch a therapist with a nine-foot pole

thinks everybody hates him but i guess that’s cuz he only listens to himself and not me. clouds vs. sun?

way too sensitive

immature

any advice on how I can help him? he’s kinda suicidal.

sorry INTJs I have no idea what a healthy one is actually like. help?

I took the Mistype Indicator test, which is supposed to tell you your "real" type based on harder, more in-depth questions.

As you can see from my results, I'm still 100% Asshole.

You can take the test here:

It had been two-and-a-half months since the heroes swept through and defeated the lich responsible for the plague that’d devastated the country for over a year. Two-and-a-half months since the oppressive magic lifted and healing magic worked again. And just over a month since the Sol Clerics finished the massive undertaking of healing the afflicted.

And that was that.

At least… that’s what the heroes and clerics and royal councils believed. Stars and salt, even most commoners believed it too. But no one remembered, or wanted to remember, that just because the disease was purified didn’t mean all of its effects were reversed.
