Random Nonsense #23

     I think Tokyo Ghoul is starting to become one of those mainstream anime that newcomers to the Anime universe tend to invoke as their rite of passage. That and Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan, as most Westerners call it). It's as if the phrase "I've watched Tokyo Ghoul/SnK" proves that you are an ardent fan of Anime. Well, it's a bloody insult to someone like me, who has been watching Anime ever since the start of Primary School and been through so many genres that sometimes I can't keep track of what I've finished.

      I've read psychological horror, like Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (When the Cicadas Cry) and Uzumaki (Spiral), that made me sleep with the lights on for 2 whole months. I've read light-hearted and ridiculous childish shows, like Yumeiro Patissiere and all three seasons of Shugo Chara, that made me embarrassed for even being slightly entertained...and having a crush on the Tsundere boy character (INTJs again, I'm sorry). And then there's the Romances, comedic like Ouran High School Host Club (OHSHC), My Little Monster and Kaichou wa Maid-sama, then very touching ones like Angel Beats and Anohana. Of course, what I've watched from the start until now, the long-lasting series like Naruto and Bleach, the former of which I grew up with.

The Psychological Horror Genre (skip this if you have a weak heart)
     I prefer these in manga form, since the colour and bad art can take away from the atmosphere. These pictures still scare the shit out of me, especially since my kind of good memory makes me remember exactly what the scenes are.
a) Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (When Cicadas Cry)

b) Uzumaki (Spiral)

Light-Hearted Childish Anime
     I don't even know why I am entertained by these kinds of Anime. Well, they are perfect for watching after reading a horror manga because all you want to do at that point is to curl up in bed with all the lights on and watch cute stuff. I don't know what it is about Japanese horror. I have become immune to jump scares in that I recover in less than 5 seconds, but the subtle horror of the Japanese variant haunts me for months. Also, I like Tsukiyomi Ikuto from Shugo Chara, though even as a kid I thought it was very freaky how he was way too skinny. Seems like I had an appreciation for muscles even as a kid...how shallow of me.
a) Yumeiro Patissiere

b) Shugo Chara

Comedic Romances
     Like the above, I watch these when I just need something to feel a shallow kind of happiness. I think this is the option I go with when I don't want to feel sheepishly guilty about watching a show way below my age group. Also, it's romance and I'm a girl. As much as I don't behave like one most of the times and have more shared interests with guys than with girls, one shared interest I don't have is that...well...I am undoubtedly straight and I like romance, at times. Also, these kind of gentlemenly guys who are cheeky and kind...and secretly very physically attractive (the unrealistic abs and such), are very unrealistic for me so...it's a kind of fantasy maybe?
a) Ouran High School Host Club
      It's a hard choice for me to pick between Kyouya Ootori and Hikaru Hitachiin. Usually people can't choose between the Hitachiin twins, but for me, I like the older Hikaru more. If you think the two of them are too similar, then you haven't watched the show to its completion. They have quite the contrasting personality. As for Kyouya and Hikaru, it's not that I prefer one over the other. I think I like Kyouya more as an Anime character, that kind of cool and aloof guy who is rather nerdy and smartassed. But if I have to picture them in reality, then I think I prefer Hikaru...he's quite an ENTP.

b) My Little Monster
     I think I've voiced my opinion on Yoshida Haru vs Yoshida Yuuzan before. Usually I like the younger brothers of brother pairs in Anime, but I guess Yuuzan is an exception. I mean take a look at Ao no Exorcist, I like Yukio more than Rin. Look at Naruto, I like Sasuke more than Itachi (here comes the flood of hate). Twins are an exception, as in the previous anime. But I like Yuuzan more...because he is scarily, and suspiciously, optimistic about everything. He also seems to be twisted in his own way and has hidden motives. Makes for a more interesting character, don't you think?

c) Kaichou wa Maid-sama
     Everyone loves Takumi Usui, yes, yes. But have you ever thought about it...how much Igarashi Tora reminds you of Draco flipping Malfoy? Arrogant, check. Rich, check. Prestigious family, check. Blonde, almost platinum-blonde, check. Aristocratic, yet infuriatingly haughty handsome, check. Yeah, Igarashi Tora is Draco Malfoy. And you know what. Draco Malfoy is probably the only fictional character who is:
1. My most hated character personality-wise, but because he is so damn attractive, my shallow side actually wins over and I totally still have my crush intact from like...the first movie, when he was a kid and I was a kid.
2. I actually ship enthusiastically (Draco x Hermione, Dramione for short) with another character, but still won't lay my flipping hands off. Like I ship Cherik, and I like Charles, but I'll abandon him for the ship. I won't do that for Draco Malfoy.
     So I'll come down as the most shallow girls in the history of shallow because we Harry Potter fans all know what a cowardly piece of shit Draco Malfoy is and how over the clouds his arrogance is. But I can't help feeling sympathy for his situation and wanting to believe that he can be a better person. That or he is absolutely charming and looks like a bloody prince. Platinum blonde hair and silver-gray eyes? How the hell do you even get that among these...mudbloods? I cant say that, by the way, I'm like 45% Slytherin...55% Ravenclaw.

Touching Romances
     It's like I love torturing myself. I cry very easily when I am able to feel what the characters feel. But make no mistake, I don't actually approve of certain things and feel disgusted by the way some guys in the anime treat girls like they are fragile...I'll show you fragile when I snap your leg in half. I can just feel the emotion of the character...through the screen.
a) Angel Beats
     Some people would think I like Hideki Hinata from the number of times I cried at the scene where he confessed to Yui. Actually, I cry every single time. It's like age doesn't harden me up or something. But no, I don't like him, at all. Just because he becomes a meaningful character once throughout the show doesn't clear up his name as the main comedic character. Yeah, screw comedic characters, unless they've got a really deep side like the Hitachiin twins. I like Yurippe. Many reasons for that, but yes, a female character. Woohoo.

b) Ano Hana
     These two...Tsuruko and Yukiatsu...they come as a pair. I like them as a pair. I don't care what anyone says. If they disprove of this pairing, or ship Yukiatsu with Menma, I will fight the shit out of that person. I will flay their remains over the world and tear them into pieces. If these two aren't a pair after the amount of shit Tsuruko has to put up with, then I don't know...Tsuruko must be a bloody idiot. Usually, in animes, if a character sticks with another character for that long because she has romantic feelings for him, they will bloody end up together. Look at Naruto and Hinata. She stuck with him for like...I don't know...and they worked out. I would call these two bloody idiots, because no one in reality would even do that unless they have no life and no aspirations, but its an anime.

My Nostalgic Feels - Popular Shounen Anime
     Ah yes, these anime that I grew up with. I grew up with the Harry Potter characters and at the same time, the Naruto characters. The same love I have for Harry Potter, knowing all the names of the spells, even the different subjects taken at Hogwarts, having my own house (it used to be Slytherin, now I'm in Ravenclaw) and my own wand. That kind of love is also the love I have for the Naruto series and what it has taught me. Naruto and Sasuke in particular. Well...Bleach is nostalgic too, but you don't actually grow up with the characters.
a) Naruto
     Yes, I am a scum. I like Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and now I like the biggest scum in Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke. I've explained why even after the kind of turn his personality took, I still persist in liking him. It's not that his personality changed, per se, he is still the cold Tsundere INTJ Sasuke, it's just the "deepening of an existing problem", which seems to be something I apply to INTJs a lot. Anyway, Sasuke...what can I say? I tried to climb a bloody tree like him, by concentrating chakra on the bottom of my feet. But just like how I'm actually a filthy mudblood, I also have no ninja skills. I fell on my bloody back. I tried to do the Goukakyou no Jutsu, aka Great Fireball Jutsu, and Chidori, but I also failed. Sigh, I wanted to learn Sasuke's jutsus man!

b) Bleach
     Do you not see the pattern here? Draco Malfoy. Igarashi Tora. Uchiha Sasuke. Kuchiki Byakuya. Prestigious family, rich, arrogant, regarded within their shows as good-looking. Yeah, I'm shallow as hell...or I just tend to like INTJs in shows. Anyway, Kuchiki Byakuya, the frigging guy who makes pink look like that manliest colour just by the "I can't find a fuck to give" face he has while using his bankai. And he cuts people into a little pieces as they explode in blood with those pink petals. Yup, very lethal and manly. Also, Byakuya as a kid is bloody adorable. What's with these snobby, arrogant fucks who look like the cutest things when they were kids? Tell me you didn't have a bloody crush on the little arrogant git that was Draco Malfoy back when you were like 7 or 8. I dare you. You had a crush on the little blonde, admit it. On second thought, don't. I go all Yandere when fangirling.

     It's a bloody insult, is what it is, when people watch just one anime and then declare themselves an Anime fan. Also, it doesn't help that half the people who watch Tokyo Ghoul have only watched the Anime, when the Manga is much longer and complicated. The Anime was good, but it lacked a lot of the things the Manga had and...I don't know why they ended it the way they did. I guess I shouldn't be complaining. I was defending the Harry Potter movies and LOTR movies despite having read the books. They weren't exactly loyal to the books...might I remind everyone how they totally condensed a whole chapter of Snape's memories into 30 seconds? And yes, I read almost all the Harry Potter books before the movies came out. I don't even understand why my parents excuse my sister for not being able to read them as a 9-year old when I read them as a 7-year old having come from China.

     Anyway, that's not the point. I'm just rather annoyed, I suppose, that the deeper meaning of certain shows is lost on some people. Tokyo Ghoul is very thought-provoking and does it not make you wonder - what would you have done in Kaneki's situation? Would you have continued to remain "kind", yet naively hurting everyone? Or would you have chosen to harden up and learn to be selfish, with the knowledge that to preserve some, you had to give up others?

     The opening of Tokyo Ghoul, Unravel, is a beautiful song that reflects Kaneki's own doubts. The fact that within the song, he keeps repeating lines that distinctly contradict - "I'm breakable, unbreakable", etc - shows that sort of uncertainty and the entire moral subjectivity of his actions. But I think the lines that appeal to me and I am able to relate to the most is "I've completely changed; I can't change back" followed by a few lines later "Think back on who I was" and "So please just remember me." You know that Kaneki doesn't like what he has to become, in order to protect what is precious to him, and the maturity of it all - that he has decided to pull through and change himself - makes him a rather likeable character.

     Anyway, here is the entire kanji lyrics and translated lyrics, accompanied by the fight between Kaneki and Jason, aka the one who tortured him to the point of change.

Kanji Lyrics:
教えて 教えてよ その仕組みを
僕の中に誰がいるの?
壊れた 壊れたよこの世界で
君が笑う何も見えずに

壊れた僕なんてさ 息を止めて
解けないもう 解けないよ 真実さえ freeze
壊せる 壊せない 狂える  狂えない
あなたを見つけて

揺れた 歪んだ世界にだんだん僕は 透き通って見えなくなって
見つけないで僕のことを 見つめないで
誰かが描いた世界の中で あなたを傷つけたくはないよ
覚えていて僕のことを 鮮やかなまま

無限に広がる孤独がくるまる
無邪気に笑った記憶が刺さって
動けない 解けない
動けない 解けない
動けない 動けないよ
Unravelling the world

変わってしまった 変えられなかった
二つがくるまる 二人が滅びる
壊せる 壊せない 狂える 狂えない
あなたを汚せないよ

揺れた 歪んだ世界にだんだん僕は 透き通って見えなくなって
見つけないで僕のことを 見つめないで
誰かが仕組んだ孤独な罠に 未来が解けてしまう前に
覚え出して僕のことを 鮮やかなまま

忘れないで 忘れないで
忘れないで 忘れないで

変わってしまった ことに paralyse
変えられない ことだらけの paradise
覚えていて僕のことを

教えて 教えて 僕の中に誰がいるの?

Translated Lyrics:
Tell me, tell me, how it works
Just who lies within me?
I'm broken, broken in the midst of this world
But you're smiling, blind to it all

I'm broken anyway, so I halt my breath
Not even the truth can unravel, no not even the truth. Even reality freezes.
I'm breakable, unbreakable; going insane, unable to lose my mind
I've found you

I'm standing here in a twisted, shaking world. I'm empty and cannot be seen.
Please don't find me...don't look at me.
In this world that someone else imagined, I just don't want to hurt you.
So please remember me - my full, vivid self.

Entangled in the loneliness that fans out endlessly
Strung by the memory of smiling so innocently
I can't move, I can't unravel
I can't move, I can't unravel
I can't move, I can't move
Unravelling the world

I've completely changed; I can't change back
The two entwine; the couple disintegrates
I'm breakable, unbreakable; going insane, unable to lose my mind
I won't defile you

I'm standing here in a twisted, shaking world. I'm empty and cannot be seen.
Please don't find me...don't look at me
Before the future comes completely undone, caught in a pit of solitude set for me
Think back on who I was - my full, vivid self

Don't forget me. Don't forget me.
Don't forget me. Don't forget me.

The change has made me paralysed
In an immutable object paradise
So please just remember me

Tell me, tell me, is there someone inside of me?


     I know this is the worst segue ever, but now for some MBTI...as I scroll through Tumblr...on my phone.

5 Stages of INFJ Stress Levels
Level 1: Ruffled
    I lose my train of though. My words come out huffy and bumbled. I get a little hot and mad that I'm sounding semi-incoherent. My face may flush.

Level 2: Frazzled
     My desk is messy. Or maybe it's my car. Or, my closet. Some place in my bedroom. My bed is unmade. I have this nagging feeling that something is undone or unchecked. I'm slightly less patient than normal and slightly sharper with my words. My hair is somewhat out of place. I'm hurrying a little bit more than usual.

Level 3: Stressed
     I'm behind on my chores. Behind on my paperwork. Behind on everything. I've got headaches, or back pain. My stress is internalised and it's manifesting physically. I'm tired. There's no hiding my shortness of temper now. I'm cross and it shows.

Level 4: Really Stressed
     I'm exhausted. I'm in bed. I'm overtly and overly sensitive. I'm either not talking to you, crying and immobile or I'm tearing you to shreds with my unguarded, obviously angry words. I'm putting off everything I need to do, in denial of the impending due date. In exchange, I'm neat-freak-cleaning at 2am, organising shoes and doing all the little things I've been putting off for months. I'm in super "DON'T TOUCH THAT" mode. Don't touch that. Don't touch me. Don't look at me. Don't breathe too loudly. Why are you breathing the same air as I am? GO. A.WAY.

Level 5: My Whole World is Ending
     Total internal/external destruction. My guard is down. My hair is down. My altruistic nature has calloused and my heart is seared. My intensity has become my propensity and my once empathetic spirit has ceased to exist. At this point, I honestly couldn't care less. I'm indulging in every immoral pleasure that this world has to offer, consequences be damned and it makes me sick to my stomach. This INFJ will combust in 5...4...3...2...And the world is worse off for it.

MBTI Conversation Starter Pack
ISFJ: "How was your day?"
*Frowns* *Irritated glare* "Okay, I guess. And I suppose I should ask "How's yours?""*Rolls eyes*

ISTP: "Sup. Good."
*Smirks* "Good. Sup." I like this person. Cool, laid-back, not pretentiously polite.

INFJ: "How are you?" *stares into your soul as they already know the answer*
Yeah, I suppose I rarely ask such questions while expecting an answer. I do so for a reaction, or to keep to social norms.

ENFJ: "I saw you earlier but i was on my way to the Women's Advocate lunch. Omigosh there was this person...People say they're feminist but then they do X, it's so disgustingly hypocritical! ...How have you been!"
*Weird stare* Did I ask this bloody bloke to narrate his day to me? Do I look like I care? ...Hypocritical...everyone is hypocritical e.g. you saying that someone else is hypocritical. *Forced smile* "I'm great."

ESFJ: *To an introvert* "Come on! You have to talk to me! How's school going?!"
"Tch...can you not be so loud and excited? It's okay." *Sideways stare as I walk away*

ESFP: "Hi! *starts singing badly and loudly to Taylor Swift* *runs into a wall for comedic effect*
*Pretends that I didn't notice ESFP's presence and walks away as fast as possible*

ISTJ: *to ESFP* "What are you doing?"
"Good question. I have no idea." *Nods and walks away*

ENFP: "Hey! *executes secret handshake with completely stranger*"
*Resists the urge to smirk in amusement* Loud, but rather adorable in that weird way...rather like an overly excited dog.

INTJ: *Is getting odd looks from doing ENFP's handshake so well* "What...?"
"Nobody expects us to be friends with an ENFP is "what", except I think mine is more believable." *Shrugs* "See you around, bro."

ISFP: *Is oblivious to the awkwardness* "Hey, we should have a secret handshake! Ready?"
*Hisses* "Hey, drop it. Don't patronise INTJ anymore. He's already being judged!"

ESTJ: "Hi! Did you get that job you applied for?"
"Yes. Obviously."

ENTJ: "Yes, but I turned it down because I got an interview for presidency."
*Snorts* "Show off." *Secretly very impressed*

INTP: "Lol. There was this Obama thing on the internet..."
*Stops in interest* ....... "Oh, you mean ___. I saw that already." *Loses interest and leaves*

INFP: "Would you like to hear this poem about ___?"
"......Hello to you too. Sure, if you want to." Just because I don't want to deal with your depressed expression if I don't.

ENTP: "No, but..." *Going into another heated argument* *ISFJ leaves, crying*
Sighhh... "Dude, did you have to? By the way, if we follow the thinking that ____, you are actually wrong." *Glares* "Hmph, admit it, I win."

ESTP: *turns to ENTP* *Everyone else leaves, crying*
*Stares in amusement* The brainless jock vs the cheeky ass who won't stop arguing? Hmmmm~

MBTI and Knowledge for It's Own Sake
ESTP: Does it relate to what I'm currently doing? Is it about people or events?
Power is knowledge, my friend. It may not be related now, but it could be important in the future.

ESTJ: I know many extremely practical things.
Oh, would you like me to hire you then? *Smirks* Practical knowledge is better used for application.

ESFP: I like (or am bored) that *you* know these things.
And I suppose that's because you are dumb as hell and have never thought about it? Yeah, though so.

ESFJ: Can I use it?
Again...why does practicality matter so much to Sensing types? I know it is what defines them, but see the link between theory and practice, for goodness sake!

ENTP: I am a sponge and I think deeply about everything I soak up.
And that is incredibly attractive in a person, I must admit. Someone who is able to converse with wit and intelligence about everything, with his own opinion. Again, I don't want to be given a link to a document...I know Google too, thanks.

ENTJ: I have to learn everything for my plan.
Then I'll learn everything to ruin it...if I don't already know.

ENFP: Learning, yay!
*Raises an eyebrow* Hmmm...you are interested? So, did you know that penicillin is made from fungi and that you can treat fungal infections with fungi antibiotics? And did you know about the Marshmallow Test? *Continues to no end*

ENFJ: Mad respect.
*Huffs* Of course.

ISTP: Educating yourself is good self-improvement.
I agree, but you don't seem to like some of my more theoretical knowledge though.

ISTJ: More things I know, more there is to know.
That's what's beautiful about knowledge. You continue growing infinitely.

ISFP: Knowledge and theory translated into artistic expression.
That's impressive. I respect people who can focus knowledge into one area of passion and develop a niche. I just tend to know a whole bunch of random stuff.

ISFJ: I value smarts in people, but I'd rather be practical.
But have you thought about how ___, maybe it's because ___ but that I read that ___ *Completely aware that the ISFJ is lost/does not care, but continues anyway*

INTP: The world fills me with wonder.
Me too, INTP, me too.

INTJ: I have a theory and an experiment to prove it.
Oh? Please tell. I would like to refine it by argument before you test it out.

INFP: Cool! i like absorbing new information, but I'm not devoted to uncovering it myself.
Really? Are you not curious about why ___ is ___? I read __, __ and __ about it, but I think it's more a combination of all that and it's really ___ but I can't exactly prove it.

INFJ: I have to learn a lot to back up the intuitive leaps I make.
And that is why I love my type. Intuitive with no logical backup pushes my curiosity to search for rationality.

NFs/NTs in the MBTI Community
ENFJ: On a therapeutic mission, answers EVERYTHING patiently.
You know what's wrong with even the most typical of ENFJs? They are too BORING. Patient? I love pushing people's limits and teasing them. These people will take my verbal beating, take it to heart and then not even give me a funny reaction. Fucking annoying.

INFJ: Cutest klutz with the weirdest posts. Learns code.
I do know HTML coding, from doing blogging. Also, define "weird". "weird" is something you don't understand, and thus it is knowledge. Bitch, I win.

ENFP: Ne-ing all over the place, multi-fandom expert
My go-to blogs for finding fan pictures then. Love you guys.

INFP: Klutzier than the INFJs, but in pastel colours, also: best replies
Klutzier than INFJs? That's like walking-into-walls-every-second kind of klutzy!

ENTJ: Types everything and everyone, has a clean template
*Raises hand guiltily* I tend to type people too, easier to get a vague understanding first.

INTJ: Trying to figure out the cognitive functions (surprise!)
*Fist bump* We should be best friends then! Did I mention I really do like the company of INTJs, the stereotypical ones?

ENTP: Random conversations with fellow ENTPs and ENFPs.
Awww...these people won't talk to us, sigh. I guess they rather instigate an argument in real life then. It's better since I'll get to see the look of defeat when I inevitably win.

INTP: Has no particular objective, but casually gathers tons of useless meme knowledge.
Memes are cool!

MBTI and Language
Prefers to know a lot of languages in a medium level: ESFJ, ENTP, ESFP, ISFP
That's really cool! I'm impressed by people who know a lot of languages, but it's not very practical to know a lot at a medium level, is it?

Prefers to know a few languages in a high level: ISFJ, INFP, ESTJ, INFJ, ENTJ
Yup! I would like to pick up German or something after As. Would really be cool, useful and fascinating to learn.

Prefers body language: ENFP, ESTP, ENFJ
....Back to the stone-age you go then...*sneers* ...uneducated cavemen.

Prefers communicating in binary system: INTP, ISTP, ISTJ, INTJ
That's pretty cool! I don't know anything about binary...maybe I should try a little.

Weekday Rants #16

     Did I not say that there will be Pure Math in Paper 2 and some bitch-asses told me that it's purely Statistics? No matter, the final paper for Prelims is over and it's the final lap, of exactly 5 weeks, towards A levels. I'll probably be revising the subjects in order of the A levels schedule, 1 week each. Of course, GP doesn't required more than 2 days and Literature, at most 4 days. History makes up for it though, for taking up 2 whole weeks because it's a subject that you can't combine Paper 1 and 2 together to revise. Both Papers are insanely content heavy too, I think even worse than Biology in some ways.

     But I'll be taking a break tonight, and starting revision again tomorrow. I know a lot of people are planning to take breaks after the Prelims, but really, we can all take a break after A levels. I'd rather not regret this since I don't have a "I'll study for the next one" excuse anymore. There is no "next" exam, at least for this period of my life. I can't wait though, to be done with formal school years, and actually explore the world with its hardships and challenges. I mean, even the most torturing moments will prove to be much more rewarding and impactful than the dullness and safety of school. I was never one to like fixed and rigid structures anyway.

      Anyway, I really fell in love with FamilyJules7X's music on Youtube. It's fantastic. Listen to this Golden Sun Isaac Battle Theme cover.

     Here's the original:


     And here's FamilyJules7X's cover:


      Today will be MBTI stuff since I really don't want to use my brain much today. I'm quite tired and I need to recharge for the 5-week marathon ahead. I'm so eager for the future to arrive and wash away the mistakes of the past, as well as the boredom of the present. "And today is a gift, that's why it's called the present"? Nah, Master Wu Gui, I think the future is the gift for mankind. After all, it is the knowledge that we can continue to progress and the desire to be better than we were before that propels humankind towards greater heights.

     I think I've said something along these lines before, but here are the exact quotes:

     And at this point, I'm very tempted to use a rival school's motto. I don't even know why the guys in my school are so childish when it comes to competition with that school...maybe because most girls in my school find the guys in that school to be more desirable. I mean, they may have lower grades, but they are more intelligent when it comes to things besides studying. They are also more like gentlemen and the guys in my school are all boys. I know it's mostly a pretence, but I think even if you made the guy in our school pretend to be mature, they can't do it. So, instead of ranting, let's just move on to MBTI stuff...I've missed some on Tumblr surprisingly.

1. MBTI Types as Oscar Wilde Quotes
ESTJ: "No man is rich enough to buy back his past."

ISTJ: "If I am occasionally a little overdressed, I make up for it by being always immensely over-educated."

ESFJ: "The nicest feeling in the world is to do a good deed anonymously-and have somebody find out."

ISFJ: "There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up."

ENTJ: "There is no sin except stupidity."

INTJ: "A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it."

ENFJ: "You don't love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear."

INFJ: "Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic."

ESTP: "I can resist anything but temptation."

ISTP: "One should always be a little improbable."

ESFP: "Some things are more precious because they don't last long."

ISFP: "Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter."

ENTP: "I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying."

INTP: "Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much."

ENFP: "Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary."

INFP: "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."

2. MBTI Liar Squads
White lies: ESFP, ESFJ, ISFJ, ENFJ
     How very dull. Most of the time, white lies are very easily seen through and just because I don't try to unravel it doesn't mean I'm not aware of it. The INFJ part of me feels bad for tearing apart a person's "kindness", but the more cynical part of me, resembling an INTJ, just wants to see how long the lie can last until it breaks and I get to laugh at it.

To get something: ESTJ, ISFP, ENFP, INTJ
     This is actually more interesting, because I can tell that these people are lying...but I don't know why they are doing so. So it's not so much that the lie itself is intriguing; it's that I want to find out what it is that they want and so I play along.

To hide what embarrasses them: ISTP, ISTJ, INFP, INFJ
     Hmmm...this is rather vague so I can't exactly vouch for it. If it's something about myself that I am willing to acknowledge and/or is extremely difficult to hide, then I won't even try. I don't "lie" to be exactly, I give "half-truths". I'll only give you half of the story, or half of the perspective. After all, there's no reason in giving information I don't think a person is worthy of knowing. 

To troll people: ENTP, ESTP, ENTJ, INTP
     Once again proving why I am so attracted to ENTPs. Trolling is an art. An art that requires wit, a sort of intellectual agility that a lot of people do not seem to possess. I like it when I can take a jab at a person and they can retaliate in a witty way. No, don't just take it on your chin - do you have no balls? Is your masculinity at 0? No, I don't want to hear you defend it, all flustered - that's just pathetic. Take a shot back, a difficult-to-dodge one and you will have my eternal respect.

3. MBTI as the Five Senses
Sight: ISFP, ESFP, ISTJ, INTJ
     I think this may be my weakest, since it is very much linked to Se, my inferior function. I tend not to notice things. You may raise an eyebrow at that, because I seem to be aware of little details. But that kind of knowledge doesn't come from sight. I seem like I'm watching people, but I'm just trying to sense things with intuition. For example, if I'm watching 2 people interact, it's because I sensed something from them first. That's also why I tend to trip over things easily.

Hearing: ENTP, INTP, INFP
     Totally not me. I can never seem to hear what people are saying to me, but when it comes to eavesdropping, I seem to develop oversensitive hearing - I hear what I don't even want to hear. But dear lord, you try to say something to me and more often than not, I will be like "What? Sorry, can you say that again?"

Taste: ISFJ, ENTJ, INFJ
     I do have talent in this area, but I'm not too sure. I am very sensitive towards things that taste "off" and I can tell exactly what is wrong about it. Also, from the moment I started consuming wine, I could differentiate its contents with taste, same for chocolates. It's quite impressive, actually.

Smell: ISTP, ESFJ, ESTJ
     I was expecting myself to be under this because my nose is really sensitive, despite where I've grown up. I cannot take smoke, it makes my stomach turn. I can smell and distinguish food from a mile away and I used to think that if reincarnation was really a thing, I may have been a bloodhound before - the best tracking dog breed.

Touch: ENFP, ENFJ, ESTP
      Like seriously bro, don't touch me. I'm that kind of person who, if you just touch me somewhere i find to be uncomfortable without me anticipating it, I'll flip my shit. I will retaliate by "touching" you too, i.e. beating the crap out of you before I even realise what is going on. My automatic response to people touching me without permission is to DEFEND through ATTACKING. I'm like a Rottweiler or something.

4. MBTI as Quotes from Real People of the Types

5. MBTI Habits
xSTP: I can do this! Don't try me! No, I can! WATCH!
     My mom, every single time I tell her "don't do it" or "you can't do that". She immediately goes all childish and me and does EXACTLY what I told her she can't do.

xSTJ: I'm never wrong, I know when I'm wrong and it's never.
     OH. Do you want me to prove you wrong? I'm eager to do so.

xSFP: Okay, I know they SEEM mean but you don't really know!
     ...Yes, yes I do really know. It's pretty damn obvious you brick-head.

xSFJ: I promise you __ is bad, watch and see. I swear, why does NO ONE ever listen to me? I TOLD YOU SO.
     *Sheepish grin* Nothing to say for this one, because it's pretty much true. I can't hear the "Bitch, did I not warn you?" and "I told you so!" in my head right now.

xNFP: I'm so deep OMFG, you don't even know. Look at that hole. I'm deeper, no, not literally.
     Please, please be that deep literally. Oh, and also, don't come out of that hole.

xNFJ: Your sins are my sins. Your life is my life. Your face is my face. Your dog is my dog.
     What. That went weird real fast. I mean it's cool if your dog is my dog, that's totally awesome. I do not do things like that, probably because I'm an INFJ who has learnt her lesson about being too involved with people. This is pretty hilarious though.

xNTP: Of course i named all my technology, don't you? WTF, WHY NOT?
     I'm starting to think that this is more for INTPs because ENTPs aren't as obsessed over technology.

xNTJ: I DO NOT LIKE THAT. I'm not into that. I would never. Why do you think I'm into BDSM.
     Really? So why is it that ENTJs strike me as the most likely to be interested in BDSM, particular of the Sadist role?

Weekday Rants #15

     So I was going to take a break today, but I ended up doing about 2 sets of statistics paper... What a huge divergence from the patterns I used to go through before - "Oh no, I was going to study, but ended up playing all day." It's not like I don't play anymore. I still watch Markiplier's videos, because I find a lot of motivation to be productive from him. I'll spare everyone of my massive fangirling, so I'll stop right here about him, but let's just say that I don't think my admiration of him is wholly exaggerated. There is some truth to him being a very inspiring person.

     But I've decided to start taking a break now...at least until tomorrow morning, because hell, I screwed up my Math Paper 1, so I need to at least make up for it with Paper 2 now that I have 4 whole days to prepare for it. Not to mention that it is a statistics paper, which, in my opinion, was my weakness only because I completely did not revise for it the last time. In fact, any statistic topic requires clear theoretical understanding only and the solving part is up to the Graphic Calculator. And unlike a topic like Complex Numbers, which for the life of me, I still can't figure out the real-life application of it, Statistics is very real and should be much more logical.

     I think that after the A levels, I may abandon this blog. I mean, the entire existence of this blog represents something of the past and there is a desire in me to leave. I'm not deleting it; I find no reason to. I can always come back to it in the future, whether to see how much I have grown, or as a reminder of what kind of behaviour I should be avoiding. I'd probably start up another blog for more productive stuff, like my opinion on certain academic topics, or even fanfictions - although that one should be saved for fanfiction websites. No, I do not write smut because I find no pleasure in writing down certain fantasies I may have of popular figures. Instead, my fanfictions, which were quite popular before I abandoned writing them, revolve around an original character in a fixed fantasy universe, e.g. Elder Scrolls. It requires an extensive understanding of the lore, including things like the timeline and the development of separate races, but I find it quite a joy to be writing things like that.

     Well, the point is that, this may be a countdown to the last few posts I'll ever put on here. This blog has outlived its purpose, if its purpose was a well-founded one in the first place. I've also observed the pattern of views on my posts and the channel which they discover my blog through, so I think I'd be able to start and grow a better blog. After A levels, though. There's only 5 weeks left until the start of As and a little more than 2 months left before the end. If I can't even pull myself through that, then I should really not be getting into any job that require minimum commitment.

     Anyway, I'm going through a list of my favourite anime openings, for the older animes. No, not Tokyo Ghoul's Unravel. It was good, until everyone started getting on-board the "this song is amazing" train and completely undermining the value and meaning of the song with their absolute poor appreciation of the depth behind it. Unravel is a great song, and it reflects how disoriented and lost Kaneki feels and the kind of change he goes through. People who pay attention solely to the tune disgusts me...but that's because of how meaningful the song actually is. It is an insult, really.

     Here are the top 5 songs, in any case, in no particular order. I'll probably do some MBTI stuff after if there's still time before I go to bed. I'm going to start work at 8.30am everyday from now on after all.

1. FMA Brotherhood - Opening 3: Golden Time Lover

Translated English Lyrics:
I can't seem to concentrate, my body is still wandering
If I keep trembling, I'll lose my control and go slack
Neither the sun nor my luck are looking this way but
I whisper to myself that I just have to keep on going

The situation is bad but if i just run away it means I'm a coward
There's really no prospect, but I'll just have to clear it with guts
Find my target blindly while I restrain my impulses
What I need is excellent sake to bask in my pride of victory
Or maybe it's the troubled face after a defeat
But either way, the two together make a destiny I'd love to manipulate

A brilliant golden time, I'll grab it with these hands
A forced poker face and I'm ready to begin
Drag me into that world of illusion

A pressure game with no limits, I just slip through it
In order to jump over that halogen border line
How many? What's the price I need to pay?
Which is it that you'd rather not sacrifice?

2. FMA Brotherhood - Opening 5: Rain

Translated English Lyrics:
Time intrudes on the new morning
I finally found
The direction I face is not the future
I kept chasing after the past

Endless ringing
The merciless memories seem to have no intention of forgiving me
"It's about time"
Fumbling, my troubles spill down my tired cheeks

Will the rain ever stop, I wonder?
For a pretty long time now, it's been cold.
Why does the rain choose me?
I wonder if it's ok to let it cover me.

The rain keeps falling today
As well knowing no end.
While we quietly nestle together
Under the umbrella I hold.

3. Bleach - Opening 11: Anima Rossa (I like this only because Byakuya...)
Translated English Lyrics:
If I could only fly like the swallows in the sky
Shooting straight towards the blue ocean
My pride wouldn't have left me lost on this path
But still, I can't sprout wings from my back

My legs will have to stumble down a long, long road
But I'm a man, I've gotta keep pressing onward
I only know where I'm going because I've got you by my side
Like a light shining on my feet, serving as my guide

Is this love? Is that what I feel when we're together?
All I know is my body, my heart, suddenly can't bear to leave you
I'll be up in the sky
Until the end


4. Bleach - Opening 13: Ranbu no Melody (Melody of Wild Dance) (This one for the GinRan pairing)

Translated English Lyrics:
Quietly, quietly, cut the curtains down
Blue flames are born on the dawn awakening

We walked and hugged, embracing a weakness that knows of no defeat
Let's carve an era with fangs

Quiet, quiet, cut the curtains down
Blue flames are born on the dawn of awakening

Until that day when I met you, the one I want to protect
I'd rather take down my enemies immediately than go for a long fight

So loved, so loved, that I don't need anything else
I watched everything from here, I'll finish it all and lead you there

Just don't let go, this melody of the wild dance
It will never stop echoing

5. Naruto Shippuden - Opening 5: Hotaru no Hikari (Light of Fireflies)

Translated English Lyrics:
Sha la la, someday, I'll hold it in my hands
The evanescent light gently burns in my heart

I have the urge to see you
So naive, I want to cry
A firefly that jumps in the summer fire
Never makes it out

Without a word
You leave me with a kiss
You nodded even though you were hurt
My life was so unsettled, it makes me sad

Sha la la, someday, I'll hold it in my hands
The evanescent light gently burns in my heart

Sha la la, my love, you can see it too
A radiant moon gently shines upon tomorrow
Dazzling brightly, brightly

(Now, I must apologise for Sasuke fangirling. I can't help it. I've liked him ever since I started watching Naruto 10-11 years ago. The fanbase for Sasuke has shrunk considerably as he becomes madder and madder, but really, Sasuke will always be Sasuke to me. Thus, a compilation of Sasuke from his youth to the end of the series [excluding future arc and movie].)


     Sigh, Byakuya from Bleach, Sasuke from Naruto, Hibari from KHR, Arthur (England) from Hetalia, Near and Light from Death Note, Levi from SnK, etc etc, I seem to have the habit of liking the INTJ guy from every generic Shounen. They all have the cool, detached and aloof attitude, and are presented as prodigies no matter the anime. Sasuke, though, has his INTJ personality examined the furthest since his power-madness can be attributed to the stress function of Se...which is a shared inferior function with INFJs. I mean, hell, it's even clearer ever since my shift to liking Suzaku more than Lelouch. Suzaku's an INFJ and Lelouch is an INTJ. ...Hmmm...


     Anyway, that makes a great segue into the MBTI section.

1. Stoned MBTI Types
ISFJ: Walking quickly from one side to another without speaking or looking at anyone.
     *Steps in front of her* Hey...are you sure you're okay? *Knocks her out and brings her home*

ISFP: Thinks that world is even more beautiful than usual.
     "The light is so pretty...so round and brilliant!!!" .....that's the moon.

ISTJ: Feels that he/she is loosing control and really hates losing control so he/she just stays angry at a corner.
     Good, don't be a burden, thank you.

ISTP: He/she is probably so used to it that you couldn't even notice that he/she is stoned.
     Wow, nice~

INFP: Thinking about how strange life is and their own existence.
     Just don't...you know...do anything crazy?

INFJ: So busy thinking about how he/she is feeling.
     Ain't nobody got time for that!

INTJ: Drugs don't affect INTJs.
     OH. IS THAT SO? Let me try then!

INTP: Conspiracy theories.
     Fascinating. Please, tell me more.

ESFJ: Gets paranoid and thinks that everybody hates him/her.
     YES, YES. WE ALL LOVE YOU. NOW WOULD YOU SHUT UP?

ESFP: Laughs about everything, even about things that he/she doesn't understand.
     ...Oh. That's perfectly normal for ESFPs, isn't it? They are pretty damn stupid.

ESTJ: Feels that he/she is losing control and really hates losing control so he/she protest angrily to their friends.
     May I suggest joining your introverted cousins in the corner so you don't get in the way?

ESTP: Laughing and making jokes.
      Nice. The life of the party, I suppose, which is great fun.

ENFJ: Laughing at other's reactions.
     Okay. Literally nothing to say to that.

ENFP: Even more silly, crazy and spontaneous than usual.
     Definitely the person to go to to spice your day up even further.

ENTJ: Telling everyone else that he/she is the least stoned one.
     *Narrows eyes* Are you sure? 

ENTP: Speaking about crazy theories and laughing to their own jokes.
     *Puppy face* Can I join you? I realised that I do like ENTPs a lot. They are smart and are very witty...not too serious, not too dumb.

2. MBTI Types and Book Quotes
ISFP: No matter where you are, you're always a bit on your own, always an outsider.

ESFP: Life is a performance, I thought. Perhaps the word "illusion" would have meant more or less the same thing, but to me "performance" seemed closer to the truth.

ISTP: "Is it...dead?" asked Tom, his voice quivery with fright. "A town just ran over him", said Hester. "I shouldn't think he's very well..."

ESTP: My name is Celaena Sardothien. But is makes no difference if my name's Celarna or Lillian or bitch, because I'd still beat you, no matter what you call me.

ISTJ: In an age of rust, she comes up stainless steel.

ESTJ: What is they were allowed to choose their own mate? And chose wrong?

ISFJ: If you were to be lost in the river, Jonas, your memories would not be lost with you. Memories are forever.

ESFJ: People who are going to get along really well know it almost as soon as they meet. You spend a little while talking and everyone starts to feel this conviction, you're all equally sure you're at the beginning of something good. That's how it is when you meet people you're going to be with for a long time.

INTJ: No, I can survive well enough on my own - if given the proper reading material.

ENTJ: We gained control of many things. But we had to let go of others.

INFJ: They were satisfied with their lives which had none of the vibrance his own was taking on. And he was angry at himself, that he could not change that for them.

ENFJ: You can't save people from the world. There's nowhere else to take them.

INFP: Every time I look into his eyes, I just want to take the ice cream or whatever I've got in my hand and rub it into his face. That's how much I like him.

ENFP: Melanie thinks: when your dreams come true, your true has moved.

INTP: Libraries were dull of ideas - perhaps the most dangerous and powerful of all weapons.

ENTP: I'm not married, he said softly, because I can't stomach the idea of marrying a woman inferior to me in mind and spirit. It would mean the death of my soul.

3. MBTI as Virtues and Vices
INFJ: Caring but overly sensitive
INFP: Creative but uncertain
ISFP: Free but unstructured

INTP: Theoretical but indecisive
ISFJ: Altruistic but unassertive
INTJ: Clever but insensitive

ENTP: Bright but brutally honest
ENFP: Charming but overly idealistic
ENFJ: Imaginative but unrealistic

MBTI Stuff #14: Animal Edition!

     Just a relatively short rant before I start on the MBTI stuff.

     I think it's hilarious that as this year is coming to an end and we are going to graduate soon, the contradictions within the INFJ personality and the rather "Tsundere" personality of the INTJ are starting to shine through. Apparently, it is very common for INFJs to "ditch" their friends once they deem that a particular period of their life is coming to an end - mostly because we think our job is done and we aren't needed anymore. Also, the inner softness yet extremely hard exterior of the INTJ also chooses this time to create evidence of their "Tsundere" personality.

     I'm actually very calm and quite welcoming to the change that is about to happen. Conversely, the INTJ who I know is desperately trying to harden and deepen the relationship he has, or intends to have, for the future. It's quite entertaining to watch him act completely out of his element and attempt to adopt the kind of emotions needed for deep friendships. It disgusts me, to some extent, because I admire INTJs for their superior intelligence and coldness, yet this one is rejecting these qualities. Meanwhile, as a type with Feeling as one of its stronger functions, I am ironically unshaken by the upcoming circumstances. If people want me to stay, they'll make it clear to me. If they don't want me to stay, they won't come and find me and I can just leave. If nobody wants me to stay, then I'll just have to find others now that I have more freedom to widen my social connections.

     It's bizarre that this INTJ is so desperately trying to make the best out of these last few months. I think if you are so dependent and clingy (the word "needy" is used for ENFJs, so that works too), unable to just let your friends choose their own way and play along, you should really have established that since the beginning. I'm opposed to such behaviour, since I think being a friend isn't just "being there when they need you", but also "giving them space when they don't need you". Well, this is what happens when an INTJ tries to do things like an ENFJ. In the first place, I detest badly developed ENFJs, because whilst well-developed ENFJs are one of the most desirable types, a badly developed one is on the other end of the spectrum - they scream to me "Stay away or trouble will come." So really, if this INTJ wanted to have these connections in the first place, then you should have made these friendships since last year.

     It is probably something to do with their tertiary function of Fi. INFJs have these moments of extremely cold, hard and rational logic-application, thanks to our tertiary Ti. I suppose it isn't surprising that INTJs will have their moments of intense emotional self-awareness with Fi. The problem is that they aren't naturally emotional types, so it is rather disorienting, for them and for others. But I think it's fair to say that if one type can understand an INTJ, it would either be another INTJ or INFJ. In fact, I was the only one that was close to being right regarding his circumstances. Nothing major has happened. It's just his sudden jolt of Fi. Like I've hypothesised, "No new problem has arisen. It's just increased sensitivity towards issues, making them seem like legitimate problems."

ESTJ: "You will obey me." (It's like that cat from Cats and Dogs)

4. MBTI as Cats Part II
ESFP: "The Hedonist"
The social cat.
Wallows in petting. Lies in the sun on the driveway.
Promiscuously affectionate, even with cat-haters.

ESTP: "The Tomcat"
Comes back after three days with scabs on his nose and ears.
Fathered too many kittens to count.
Will enjoy you while he's there, but not loyal.
With other cats, doesn't know when to stop "playing".

ISFP: "The Snuggler"
Inside lap kitty. Has a favourite lap, a favourite windowsill.
Spreads her favours around nonetheless.
Warm and loving, but don't try to make her do anything.
Purrs a lot.

ISTP: "The Problem-Solver"
This is the cat that will figure out how to get the giblets
Out of the bottom of the garbage can
Without knocking anything over.
Appreciates his pleasures but not a glutton.
Stand-offish, but will put up with an occasional petting session.

ESTJ: "Bossycat"
A cat with an attitude.
He'll hiss at a German Shepherd
And the dog will back down.
Knows his territory.
Catches birds to show he cares, but won't be openly affectionate.

ESFJ: "Mommycat"
Even if kittenless or male, adopts everything
Including her "owners"
Grooms you until you've got a rash.
Grooms other cats until they get snapped at.

ISTJ: "Mr Fastidious"
Won't eat unless the kitchen floor is newly waxed.
Will glare at you until you clean his litterbox.
Likes to scratch - and it's the same place over and over,
So you'd better get a scratching post right away
If you want to keep your furniture.

ISTJ: "Spoiled cat"
Only the best will do. This is the cat in the "Sheba" ads.
Will sink into depression if you forget to trim her claws,
Or if her coat is marked.
Strategic meowing - not for conversation,
But to get what she wants.

ENTP: "The Great White Hunter"
King of imaginary bug-chasing.
He talks a lot - maybe to you,
Maybe to something only he can see.
Likes to be petted, but only for short periods of time;
He's off as soon as the next synapse fires in his brain.

ENTJ: "The Little General"
Assumes control of the family and house.
He'll kick you out of his chair and demand half the bed.
Doesn't purr, but glares while being petted
As if you're only doing your duty.
Yowl rather than meows.

INTP: "The Flake"
Will play with toys, but bored quickly.
If you give in, you'll quickly have a closet full of cat toys
He won't touch anymore.
He'll sit, apparently doing nothing, then be off on a tear.
Will suddenly sit down and groom.

INTJ: "The Limit-Setter"
If you have to be around, fine, but he'd prefer that you just show up once a week with food.
If you stay home sick, he'll glare at you
Since after all it's his scheduled day
To have the house to himself.

ENFP: "The Happy Slob"
Playful cat that will leave food smeared all over the kitchen floor
And track litter granules onto the carpet.
Favourite game is peek-a-boo.
Likes to be petter, but won't sit still for long.

ENFJ: "The Ringleader"
Will organise the other cats into games.
When you get home to find the dining room chandelier swinging back and forth
And all the cats are sitting in the living room.
It was this cat's idea.

INFP: "The Little Angel"
Will look at you sweetly two seconds after she's shredded the new curtains.
Can't resist the kitchen counter.
Likes some lap time,
But only on her terms.

INFJ: "Skitty Kitty"
Wants to be affectionate, but never quite overcomes nervousness.
"Intrepid" is NOT her middle name.
Likes to watch the proceedings from a safe spot,
Such as the top of the staircase.
