• when I started shipping it if I did: literally like as soon as they ended up wandering the plain together whoops. I have a huge thing for idealistic nerds/hotheaded wounded badasses. and the gender role swap here was intriguing too. also I am a sucker for “trapped on a roadtrip/in a small space alone together—sexual tension ensues”. and belligerent bantering that actually means sexual tension. It was an obvious choice
• my thoughts: UGLY CRYING. I will never stop. I just…he could have had a much better life but he chose her…and she never really had a chance but goddamn she tried really hard and they actually have a very dysfunctional relationship but it’s beautiful and interesting and it has a lot of bright spots. and they bring out the best and the worst in each other and they BELIEVE IN EACH OTHER REALLY HARD and she’s not beautiful (but he thinks she is) and he’s not a hero (but she thinks he is even if she hates him for it sometimes) and they’re not going to live happily ever after but they’ll be alright (they weren’t)
  
• What makes me happy about them: they created Wren who is awesomeness incarnate. also incredible amounts of love and striving to be better than themselves
  
• What makes me sad about them: LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE
  
• things done in fanfic that annoys me: THERE’S NO FANFIC
  
• things I look for in fanfic: I’M STILL LOOKING
  
• Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: I think Tom and Freya might have worked out so shoot me. Heartbreakingly, he would probably have been better off with someone else. honestly I don’t see her having a happy ending with anyone. Maybe her and Shrike traveling the world—the Tin Man and his kid :)
  
• My happily ever after for them: *WEEPING* I actually found the book ending incredibly poignant and realistic for them, and again I can’t really imagine things better. Maybe Tom as a single dad to Wren and Hester with Shrike as forementioned, and they always carry a torch for each other.
  
• who is the big spoon/little spoon: She’s the big spoon because maybe if she holds on really tight he’ll never leave her and no one will ever hurt him
  
• what is their favorite non-sexual activity: ignoring fundamental aspects of each other’s personalities wandering the woods together. she sets traps for squirrels and he examines interesting rock formations.

Fe and Te are not the same thing, and NFPs are not like NFJs. The only thing they share is a general interest in people and their personal development.

NFPs are more centered in themselves and they know what they want for their life based on their personal interests, their feelings are subjective and not easy to predict; there are hot spots in all of them, where lines exist you cannot cross. They are weirdly sentimental in a few areas and can be reluctant to fully embrace “change.” They want expansion and many possibilities and grow “outward” instead of narrowing things down.

NFJs are more centered in philosophical musings and broad ideas, they build their life tactics around their influence over others and how they affect the world around them; they are able to feel what others feel and sometimes can’t tell where others end and they begin (esp. if 9s). They are not sentimental in a Si sense, but aesthetically picky and sometimes more impulsive or reckless than NFPs. They want things to go in one specific direction and “narrow down.”

Hmm.

Fe-dom: [stereotype] “unselfish.” While EFJs usually care about their larger impact and reputation, they are not nicer to people or less selfish than any other type – they can be selfish and want their way. It varies between EFJs. You will meet a lovely one who is so sweet and words things so carefully to avoid hurting your feelings and lets you “be,” and then meet an EFJ who pushes their values off on you, and thinks that they can say whatever they want and it’s all “okay” even if it’s hurtful to you.

Fi-dom: [stereotype] “selfish.” Yes, Fi-dom is self-centered, as in, their sense of everything is centered in their inner lens, but this does not make all of them exhibit what society calls “selfish behavior.” The stereotypes about IFPs not being considerate of others are erroneous and cause many IFPs to mistype; IFPs can spend a lot of time and effort being a “safe space” for other people, and trying not to hurt their feelings (because they wouldn’t want their own feelings hurt). As with the above, you may meet an IFP who is highly considerate of you and your feelings, or you may meet one who says what they think, without concern for whether it will offend you or not.

Te-dom: [stereotype] “workaholic.” Yes, ETJs love to get things done, they are highly organized and motivated individuals, but the workaholic trope comes from very specific Enneagram combinations rather than is standard for all ETJs. Many of them know when to go out with friends, go home, etc. Another stereotype is not caring about people – they care a lot, it’s just that their brand of helping their loved ones tends to center around how to find solutions, as opposed to just crying with someone. As with the above examples, you will find an ETJ who cares a lot about their employees and does not want to fire anyone, and finds workarounds to keep them on staff even though it is costing their bottom line, or you will find one who only cares about the bottom line.

Ti-dom: [stereotype] “obnoxious, argumentative, hair-splitting.” Not every Ti-dom is “Sherlock.” Many of them just want to do their own thing, and for things to make sense. And not all of them are inventors or mechanics, either. Some of them are artists, actors, or writers. They can and do understand how things ‘work’ and want to make sense of them in their own mind, but not all of them are gifted in innovation or technology or in building an airplane from scratch. Some of them will be obnoxious and hammer people for their bad logic, but others don’t see the point in trying to change your mind.

Se-dom: [stereotype] “party animal, shopaholic, unfaithful.” Yes, they are energetic and outgoing and can do a lot in a day, but not all of them enjoy excess socializing, care about their wardrobe, or can’t keep a relationship going due to a roving eye. Se is about hands-on learning and opportunism, seeing a good thing and going after it, rather than a certain set of expected behaviors. Some ESPs will work at things (including relationships) and others will “skip out.”

Si-dom: [stereotype] “remembers everything.” No, they only recall what is of specific interest to them, such as their favorite author’s books or hairstyles from the 1950s. They don’t have better memories than anyone else for generic facts and daily remembrances. Another stereotype is having no interest in trying new things – wrong, some of them hate new things and some of them want as many experiences as possible to build their collection of memories or internal experiences.

Ne-dom: [stereotype] “can theorize about anything on the spot.” Yes, if it interests them, but if it doesn’t, they won’t generate any ideas related to it. They are not automatic idea-machines, they need something to bounce off of and inspire their creativity. If they deprive themselves of those things (books, movies, music, etc), then their creativity can get stifled. They also don’t have a thousand ideas in their mind all the time; rather, once they start working on and thinking about something, ideas “occur to them” along the way. Some ENPs have way more of a busy mind than others (7s).

Ni-dom: [stereotype] “mastermind.” Not all Ni-doms have a life plan or know what they want ten years down the road, but all of them have a future focus, tend to get strong impressions and/or instincts about where life (theirs or yours) is headed, and they trust their insights. But they are not all evil masterminds who plan things down to the smallest detail; their mind is more impressionistic than that. And yet, there will be occasional “genius” INJs who do just that.
