CRITICAL ROLE: BELL'S HELLS (2021–) ENNEAGRAM TYPES ★

Ashton Greymoore – Type 4(w3): The Enthusiast

Fours are self-aware and sensitive. They are creative, honest, and personal, but can also be moody and self-conscious. They can withhold themselves from others due to feeling defective and vulnerable; they can also feel disdainful and exempt from ordinary ways of living. They typically have problems with self-indulgence and self-pity.  Fours maintain their identity by seeing themselves as fundamentally different from others. They often see themselves as uniquely talented, possessing special, one-of-a-kind gifts, but also as uniquely disadvantaged and flawed. Enneagram 4w3s want a strong and well-defined sense of identity. They fear being or feeling insignificant. And while they often feel different from others, they don’t want to be alone: they may feel self-conscious or socially awkward, but they deeply wish to connect with people who understand them and their feelings (if such validation remains out of reach, fours begin to build their identity around how unlike everyone else they are).

Sejanus Plinth

Type One || 1w2 || 146

Type One:

Sejanus is motivated by his desire for Goodness, in the moral sense. His ethical integrity is at the forefront of his personality, and is the be all and end all of all his decisions and relationships.

Ones are highly principled and decisive when dealing with moral quandaries, and they seek out a sense of purpose

Sejanus resents his father, his classmates, and the Capitol on the whole for decisions that are at odds with his own ideals, and refuses to let that go unnoticed; at all times, the most important thing for him is to stand up for what he believes is right and just.

Type Four:

Fours tend towards melancholia. They can be explosive and sensitive, especially when circumstances challenge their sense of identity.

Sejanus has a habit of self-pity, however justified it might be, and wears his emotions blatantly on his sleeve. He is not precious about being seen as flawed, but is absolute about being authentic and true to himself (and his ideals).

Type Six

Sejanus is committed to both his goals and his friends - right to the bitter end. He will only momentarily stray from his stubbornly held beliefs when cornered by Coriolanus, his closest, and perhaps only, friend.

He desires material and emotional security for himself and his loved ones, and we only see him falter when their safety and his own is compromised - when his actions backfire and he comes face to face with the chaos in his wake.

Thanks for reading! I intend on making more of these as the mood strikes me - particularly Coriolanus and Lucy Gray, and I might try my hand at the main trilogy too (as soon as I finish my reread)!

These posts solely reflect my personal interpretation of these characters based on both the books and the films, if you would type them differently, I’d love to hear your perspective!

To the Artist Within,

           Sketched in intellectual artistry, I see a person whose strength lies in staying true to themselves. I see the person standing in front of me offering up who they are and hoping so intensely that others will just take them as they come. You, like the finest canvas, stretch your arms out and reach for identity. This unique ability to carve yourself out of nothingness leaves you met with awe as those around you try so desperately to match your authenticity.

           Prone to isolation and melancholy, others may see you as a brooding poet, though I know that your depth can only be compared to the ocean, or, more dramatically, perhaps, to that of an unbelievably large stage. But don’t let others tell you that your sensitivity is too much. You are never “too much.”

           In your quest to master the difficult, you must remember that not everyone else will want to do the same, and that that’s OK. This challenge to yourself then becomes yet another way that you stand out among the crowd.

           Fashioned from buttons and thread, you hold your creations to the sky and demand that others recognize your efforts. You do not require that they like it because you know that their taste is not yours, but it’s alright to be upset from time-to-time when you find out that you’re not always for others.

           You follow your interests and your passions because you know that they will lead you where you need to go. And it is admirable, my little pan pastel, that you never want to stop achieving, but there will come a point where you are going to want to learn to be happy where you are.

           Painted in the balance between logic and emotion, you drip honesty from your lash-line like teardrops. Like a good rubbing, you’ve made more of an impact in me than you know, and I, for one, cannot wait to continue watching you grow.

Love, your biggest fan,

r.h.

P.S. Believe in what you need to create, and don’t let other people influence that creativity because they will always want to impose their thoughts onto yours. But don’t make those thoughts yours.

Song: Four by Sleeping at Last

who we've been dying to become

In certain light, I can plainly see

a reflection of magnificence

hidden in you

maybe even in me”

Type 4: The Individualist (The Artist)

Type One, the Reformer: ”For truth was to me

A breath, a wind,

A shadow, a phantom,

And never had I touched

The hem of its garment.” --Stephen Crane, “’Truth’, said a traveler”
