83 is a good number, cuz it looks like a combination of :3 and 8D and it's also prime. What better way to express the epitome of being nerdy and silly and cool at the same time? I don't know if I am any of those things, but if I'm anything, I'm an advocate for 83. Well, if I am just a single thing, I'm a person, but more specifically, I'm a person with messy emotions and stuff like that, and I'm intensely neurodivergent: AuDHD and BPD, but I try to rise above my struggles and love people well in the process...

Hi, I'm UMO, and this is my updated introduction 😃

I like ponies, furries, fractals, math, typology, image/graphics processing, audio processing, microtonality/xenharmony, games in the platformer genre, memes, deltarune lore (kinda sorta), TADC, cats, I can go on...

My blog does not have any focus whatsoever. I reblog and talk about the things that are important to me, that's about it. Sometimes I'll spurt a random thought, usually I think it's funny and I'm hoping other people will find it too. Other times I have deeper thoughts about stuff, sometimes concept and/or fandom specific, and sometimes just about life in general, so if you like text walls, you've come to the right place.

Shameless plug: I do have YouTube and Bandcamp if you're interested. Obviously I make music, which you'll see on both sites. My music is pretty electronic in nature, but I like to prioritize the way my music makes me feel (and hopefully it makes you guys feel things too) over the raw experimentation of digital composition and sound design. Also, I use microtones (aka xenharmony) to make people feel weird things, but sometimes I overthink the theory involved instead of playing with something until I come up with something that moves me. On the YouTube side, I would also like to make vids on other interests, so I guess wish me luck with regards to exploring that avenue...

My brain does weird things sometimes. One way I like to explain this is with personality typology frameworks like MBTI, so I can talk about how being an INFJ with Ni/Fe/Ti/Se as my cognitive functions might explain why I'm eluding you, or something like that.

Take that as you will. If you don't care, more power to you, at least that means you're not likely to constantly analyze my interactions with you to see if it fits your perception of my type label or not. (Some people don't think I'm an INFJ, and that's fair, but that still bothers me sometimes, as I explain below)

If you do care (and especially if you like to determine other people's types in MBTI, Socionics, Enneagram, etc...), please be aware of my paranoia around people judging my understanding (especially of myself) as inaccurate or even unsound.

ive never in my whole life had a good interaction with an infj 4w5. never. theyre annoying, pretentious and just generally hard to talk to.

i wish i could just talk to one of them without them turning the whole conversation about themselves because i literally dont care. i can say its cold outside and they would start talking about how the coldness of the outside world perfectly describes their heart and feelings, like bro please shut up. you didnt invent depression or any other mental illness but always act like you did. and youre not a cold-hearted monster mastermind youre just a human. (watch them say they dont feel human)

most of the time they dont even listen to my arguments, they dont even STOP TALKING, but theyre the same people to say theyre introverted and quiet and dont talk to anyone.

in theory they seem so dreamy and nice but god damn. please for the love of god i just want to have an infj 4w5 friend without wanting to die

WHY DOES EVERYONE ACT LIKE INTJ DGAF ABOUT PEOPLE!!!

LIKE THIS GOES FOR INTP TOO BUT FOR THEM IT'S LESS WRONG!

Like seriously though, why? I mean look at the functions... Ni-*TE*-Fi-Se. They also are in the organize/control chaos family (IXXJ).

Fundamentally, it doesn’t seem that profound or even meaningful. It doesn’t answer any of the questions that the people interested in the theory seek to find answers to. 

In the community, we are cautioned against stereotyping and focusing too much on behaviours, or what certain types tend to believe in. This is because functions are mere cognitive filters that do not determine the content of your thought (therefore having pretty much no say in your actual personality traits). 

But then we still treat this whole theory as personality theory??? Where “personality” implies a collection of traits, beliefs, aptitudes, skills, etc.? But this kind of goes against what MBTI permits (or more so, what Jungian cognitive functions permit). 

So what exactly do cognitive functions aim to elucidate? Oh hey, I prefer to gather abstract (instead of factual & tangible) information about the world - great - but so what? 

So what? Well, I am probably ~more intelligent~ than the average person due to my reliance on intuitive function, therefore I am naturally ~better~ than someone who lacks such preferences. 

But this type of extrapolation immediately exits the realm of MBTI and instead enters the realm of cognitive aptitude measurement and its value in society. What we actually seem to care about is what MBTI type implies about us, but it’s at best a mere guide at suggesting what we might be good at. However, once you begin to reason about what you might be good at because your MBTI type suggests it, you’re no longer doing MBTI.

I don’t even know where I am going with this. 

Basically, I don’t see how MBTI can tell you anything real and tangible about who you are - say, the actuality of the probability that your MBTI type suggests. It cannot tell me what my actual intellectual aptitudes are, despite the correlation between Intuition and higher IQ (according to what exactly?). And yet these aptitudes (realities of “who I am”) are what actually interests us.

This is an answer to a question I read on Quora and nothing has ever hit this close to home.

No.

But it is very likely that you marry late and stay true to your significant other for the rest of your lives. INTJ is one of those types whom “till death us do part” is true verbatim.

INTJs tend to be extremely intelligent, meaning they mature very late. Brains of very smart kids mature later and you are likely to be a Late Bloomer. Teenage can be sheer hell to INTJs - trust me, it was to me. All my best friends were boys, and while we had nothing sexual between us - just similar interests, like science fiction, fantasy fiction, astronomy, gaming, sports, playing guitar - I got branded as a slut. The truth was I abhorred human touch, and kept my virginity very late. This tends to be a common trait of INTJs.

It gets better once you are past 20. We INTJs need human company just as much as anyone else - all you need is to find your own tribe. I found mine at sea and in the air: my two loves are sailing and skydiving. Yours can be something else.

Being introverted, we are more interested in things and ideas than people, but it means we weren’t human after all. What we need is need for solitary time to reflect and recharge, and we thrive better in small but integre groups than crowds. Three to twelve is optimal to us.

Yes, you are likely to date. You are likely to marry. You are likely to have children. But on the r/K selection, INTJs are pretty much the ultimate K (‘kwality’). So don’t give up the hope even if you are 30 and still single. The chances are you have not yet reached your full maturity - and once you have, only sky is the limit.

All right, kids.  Repeat after me.

YOU.  HAVE.  AN.  INTROVERTED.  AUXILIARY.  FUNCTION.  IF.  YOU.  ARE.  AN.  EXTROVERT.

I know, I know.  It’s crazy.  Take a deep breath and repeat after me again.

YOU.  HAVE.  INTROVERTED.  TENDENCIES.  THAT YOU USE ALMOST CONSTANTLY.  YOU.  HAVE.  AN INTERNAL VOICE.  LIKE AN INTROVERT.  YOU.  HAVE.  THE NEED TO RECHARGE.  LIKE AN INTROVERT.  JUST BECAUSE.  YOU.  ARE.  AN.  EXTROVERT.  DOES NOT MEAN YOU GO AT 100% ALL OF THE TIME AND SCREAM ON THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS (unless if you’re ranting about mbti lol).  EXTROVERSION.  IS SIMPLY.  THE MARKER.  OF WHETHER YOUR FUNCTION.  IS FOCUSED.  ON AN EXTERNAL WORLD.  OR AN INTERNAL ONE.

...all right?

well... i didnt know rants would get so many notes. guess people like it. i like it too. so here goes. im an ENTP. here’s the rant.

a few of my closest friends and my dear mother are ESTJs, and well... ye

1) natural state: what state. ESTJs would hand you a tissue in case you sneeze later, than suddenly scold the person sitting next to them because they’re wasting too many tissues. literally. wat.

2) it’s easy to get them extremely riled up. if they had a danger label on them, they would be “highly flammable”. once anger possessed them, there’s no turning back... until they suddenly stop and handed you another tissue or something.

3) they are some organized shit. mini plans were made 2 months before, but they’re very pre-adaptable, always thinking of “what if” and “in case”, and have plan B, C, D, etc. that makes them very scary to Ti people like me. they would pick at nag at you to make you fit in to their (tight) schedule.

4) they would hold grudges forever. their memory is a mine that goes on through the centre of the earth, and back out the other end, in america or something. if you dont trigger them, they would march on like soldiers on a mission. once you’ve hit the “detonate” button, though. they would dig everything up and bury you under it. prepare for deep shit.

5) they are the “mom” friend or “dad” friend. maybe because im asian. so the “asian mom” friend. they have everything at the ready, and they would give anything to help someone. i love all of them. like.
