I Am Perfectly Normal About This. This Will Not Make Me Go Insane. I Am Completely Normal About This

As promised... Here is my RWBY Enneagram chat !

Here are close-ups for the text (can be hard to read on tumblr)

If you're not an avid typologist you might ask... What IS Enneagram ? And it is my duty to at least quickly introduce you to the concept & not just dump this chart on you :D

For an extensive reading of each type, you can check out this link

And for a quick overview : Enneagram is a typology system (like MBTI or Socionics). It can be a pretty helpful tool, because its focus lies on WHY you act the way you do : discussing the coping mechanism that built themselves out of your childhood struggles/traumas (big & small).

Enneagram is about your core fears, motivations, and how you relate to 3 main emotions (fear, anger & shame). There are 9 types, divided in 3 groups for each emotion & distinguishing 3 main ways to react to them.

Head types deal with Fear

Heart types deal with Shame

Gut types deal with Anger

And the three main ways Enneagram describes to deal with these emotions are : Embrace, Dissociate and Deny.

If I use the Gut types as an example :

Type 1 DISSOCIATE and detach themselves from their anger. They're aware that they're frustrated & angry, but resist this emotion because they want to rationalize it, and only share anger when they feel it is deserved. Their frustration eventually leaks out, and 1s become overly critical. By keeping their emotions and expressions on such a tight leash, 1s grow frustrated and appear as controlled & rigid individuals.

Type 9 DENY and avoid their anger. They numb it until they can barely recognize that they're angry at all. They dumb down or run away from pain & confrontation, in search for simple and painless solutions. Anger has never done anything for them, so they don't feel as though it is worth losing so much energy over. Since they tend to avoid conflict, 9s appear complacent and agreeable.

Type 8 EMBRACE and control their anger. They accept it as part of who they are, and don't care to tone it down for the sake of others. Infused with their anger, they become tough & assertive, chasing away vulnerability and those who would try to control them. Anger protects them, and they use it as a tool. Because they refuse to show weakness and see no reason to bend for others, 8s appear agressive and confrontational.

The same gymnastic happens for the Head or Heart types, but with their respective emotions. Technically, as the 3 groups each deal with different emotions; anyone trying to use enneagram to analyze their own behaviour should also be able to find 3 types (one in each group) they're able to relate to ! Together they make up your tritype :)

There is of course a lot more to enneagram that I woud love to delve into (such as the triads, which are another way to look at the types repartition and what aspects they have in common) but this is the gist of it ! If you're interested or have any questions, you can check out more links at the end (and the Amino community I'm in) oooor just ask me questions !! I'll always be happy to help or answer

Tests do exist like for any personnality theory BUT I happen to know & think they suck; because no one knows & understands you as well as yourself. You can check out answer in an online test, but you can't tell him WHY you chose that answer, and the why is what matters most in Enneagram. So... If that's your kind of thing, just slowly gets to know the theory and yourself. There is NEVER any rush.

Good evening to you all ! *bows*

Enneagram - Rule of Three Enneagram - Healthy or not ? Integration & Disintegration Enneagram - The Triads

I can't even fanthom the sheer CONFIDENCE with which these people qualify RG shippers as gross 30 yo when this ship is just two wholesome children trying their best. There is nothing sexual about it, there's no power imbalance between Oscar & Ruby, they respect each other, they just finger-gun each other or blush a bit. How do they even make that jump to "ew gross" I genuinely CAN'T understand

Also you know they're not even worth it when they outright say "if you see me attack people who are just existing & liking a sweet ship between 2 teenagers, don't call me out." Someone really missed the "having differing likes and preferences doesn't allow you to attack a person" classes uh

Rosegarden Antis: "Why are you always shoving rg in our faces??? You're disgusting and it's inappropriate and you're all toxic!"

Also Rosegarden Antis:

One: *confused 20-year-old noises*

Two: You're telling people to mind their business as you harass and attack rosegarden shippers who are *looks at scribbles on hand* minding their business?

Three: When people call you out on your bullshit, you claim that they "proved your point" and that they're the bad guys for... defending themselves?

Four: This person ALSO did a post asking what people's unpopular RWBY opinions were and added, "No HTDM!" as if they weren't part of it.

Hey what are your mbti and enneagram typings for Salem and OG Ozma? I see Salem as an INTJ. She’s maybe an unhealthy 4w3? Taking from his first two incarnations (bc he basically overrided his first reincarnation), I feel like OG Ozma was an IxFJ? He seems like a Fe user. And maybe a 9. I’m not too stuck to those conclusions though. What are your thoughts?

Hello again !

I'll be honest, I had not tried to type these two (mainly bc they don't have a lot of screentime) but I can try to give it a go !

SALEM

Ennea

I think 4w3 makes some sort of sense for Salem 🤔 Considering her issues with grief and not getting what she wants, I think ît's highly likely she has at least one type from the Frustration triad. 4 fits that bill, I don't really see a 7, 1 would work too. Inherently, Salem is dissatisfied with the world she lives in, she's frustrated and feels that she doesn't have what she wants.

HEART. 4 : she want(ed) someone who understood & accepted her. she's unabashedly herself and even when she found Ozma again, she didn't care one bit to pretend or hide who she was (doesn't fit 2/3). she's pretty confident but also doesn't really seem to need the wins for it (doesn't fit 3). she fumes in her negative emotions & experiences, and is currently using them to define herself.

Positive Outlook (2) doesn't fit her at all. Attachment (3) doesn't fit her much either. 2 & 3 are out. Conclusion : 4w3

GUT. 1 : she wants the world around her to fit her standards, very critical of others, some competency thrown in the mix. she seems like she could be a 8 too but she feels much more controlled; and in any case she would be a weird 1 fix since she's quite literally corrupted by the pool of Grimm and thus won't abide by the usual "i need integrity" core fear.

Positive Outlook + Attachment (9) ? No way. 8 could work too but leaning toward 1 for now. Conclusion : 1w9

HEAD. Unsure of her head fix, would need more data.

Conclusion : 6 or 5 ?

MBTI

As for her cf, I never really thought about it... But I could see the Fi-Ni or Ni-Fi I think ? I agree on Ni-Se axis in any case.

IVs

Soc blind

INTJ 4w3 1w9 ? sx/sp

. . .

Ozma

Ennea

This man is a himbo your honor and I stand by these words. This gonna be harder to say because we have like... 1 ep at most to make any conclusions.

I agree Ozma mostly overrid his first reincarnation, but the guy was still *here* in some shape or forms; so it's hard to be certain that Ozma's character wasn't influenced in some way. Considering that he's probably stayed mostly the same...

GUT. 9 or 1 : i feel like the very first Ozma, before his death, might have fitted 1 better. we talk of a man who fought "only for righteousness", and who afterwards still held onto his mission tightly despite his missteps along the way. he wants integrity, to do things right & correctly ("things" being uniting humanity in this case). at the same time, Ozma 2.0 seemed to have a very hard time asserting himself in Salem's vicinity & often ended up swaying to her ideas which seems pretty 9-ish. we could wonder how much of that is due to Salem's manipulation though : no need to be a 9 to fall for people's lies. it still stands that Ozma lacks a bit the rigidity and overly critical side of 1s, as well as the frustration. overall i'm tempted to say that maybe OG Ozma had a 1; and Ozma 2.0 leaned more toward 9; even if it might seem like a cope-out.

Reactive + Reject (8) ? Nah. Frustration + Competency (1) ? 🤔 Not that much either from what we've seen. Conclusion : 9 with a strong w1.

HEART. Not enough data. Not really seeing the 4. Could be either 2 or 3; I'd need interactions outside of his interactions with Salem to know honestly. A couple isn't the most neutral setting, and they were kinda codependant on top of that.

Conclusion : 2 or 3 ?

HEAD. 6 ? : not sure at all, but i guess he was pretty upfront about his fears with Salem (something that came to bite him in the ass afterwards). sure he took a long time before speaking up (9, remember) but he DID confront & speak his doubts into the open : embracing & reacting to the fear. he also readily took to Salem's plans when faced with the enormity of his mission to unite humanity. Ozma doesn't really runs away from his responsabilities, nor does he derive any stress or frustration from the idea of missing out (doesn't fit 7). he didn't seem to feel the need to disengage from the world and from his emotions to be objective & prepare for his task (doesn't fit 5). he leans readily into proposed solutions and what he considers a trusted ally (not couterphobic)

Frustration (7) ? Not really ? Reject + Competency (5) ? Not seeing it either. Conclusion : 6w7

MBTI

I have even less on an opinion on his MBTI than Salem; but I'd actually say that he strikes me as the Fi-est Oz out of the main three. I'd entertain the idea of something else than Fe. ... Fe stills works though, he WAS pretty open-minded about Salem's methods for "uniting humanity" at first.

No clue on axis. Maybe some Si ?

9w1 6w7 ?

. . . . .

That's all the thoughts I can bring into the open ! Sorry for the major focus on ennea, hope you can still find something interesting in the answer xD

I know I only posted RWBY stuff so far and I don't have a lot of followers anyway skqjfqk but I was wondering if anyone would be interest about D&D rambles ? 😶

I play in an ongoing campaign, I have several D&D OCs that I really love to rant about, I'm just... a big DnD fan overall - (and very lucky to have an artist bestfriend as a DM, so lots of amazing art)

So yea, would that tickle anyone curiosity or just be a bore on your feed ? I'll keep posting RWBY stuff in any case dw I have a loooot of ideas

I want Mercury redemption and another big brother for Oscar too

Also I'm willing ponytail Oscar into being *chants* ponytail Oscar, ponytail Oscar, ponytail Oscar, ponytail Oscar -

Looking forward to Oscar converting the other Cinder lackey. His conversational skills need work, though. Mercury Emerald and Oscar would be such a fun trio.

What can I do for you, Collector?

I LOVE THEM TOO okay let's review, i'm gonna make this a thing

Blake & Pyrrha very on point yes, unsure how to react (+ awkward because Pyrrha probably often got that actually ??)

WHITLEY HAS PROBABLY NEVER SEEN ANYONE WINKING AT HIM EISGSKUGSH I want that image, I wanna see him seeing a flirty wink for the first time. His brain is gonna "???". Maybe he's gonna be a tomato since he's so pale. And pretend to be all huffy about it.

Rosegarden mutual blush go go.

All of these adults would absolutely wink back. And Qrow, like the disaster that he is, would actually get flustered over a loving smile & a soft look instead. WAIT actually the last time someone winked at him he just kinda stood there like o. but there was the whole semblance thing so imma give it a pass

i love how Yang, Nora and Penny, Tyrian are all in the same case but for very different reason. Yang & Nora are just chaotic & over the top as usual. While Penny is just : is this a human custom ? is that how you do it ? *holds one eye close for a whole minute* did I do it right Tyrian is threatening you while laughing maniacally

Jaune is confused or doesn't notice indeed. Winter is more than confused, she doesn't even understand what she's confused about. she must have seen wrong

Ironwood & Emerald being sandwiched between confusion ??? and IMMEDIATE SUSPICION is so on point I can already see it. (well i can't because i can't visualize to save my life but you get the point)

And again Weiss' suspicion would be different from IW & Emerald because the latter two are just like : ?? what do you want from me ?? meanwhile Weiss is just being her usual responsible representative looking at the winker like "what are you doing ?"

Ozpin is squinting like : i... i am literally your headmaster what are you doing. then he probably just jiggles his mug a bit, smiles & tries to... forget. totally will forget. yeaa. well depends who's winking tbh

Jaune & Ruby are good in the oblivious corner too, but Ren is the true king & reigns supreme in that category. which i absolutely relate to. ren is an ace icon, i mean have you SEEN THAT COOKING APRON ?

here have another XD

How can Ruby both be flustered AND oblivious, you ask? She's just that powerful.

Everyone needs to not get upset or aggressive over Akito. The whole point of her story, as expressed in Another, is that it’s okay to forgive people who hurt you, and it’s okay not to as well.

It also teaches us that your redemption or change isn’t reliant on forgiveness. Sometimes you have to accept some people can’t forgive you, and to show you’re getting better is by respecting that. You have to want to be good for no one other than yourself, because some people might only ever see you as an antagonist, that doesn’t mean you act like one.

The way everyone is split it showcasing that perfectly. Read Fruits Basket Another and I think there will be some catharsis for everybody.
