It’s honestly weird how accurately typology can describe your reactions (INFP 9w8 954)

​

I’ve known I was an INFP for years, and no matter how many times I took tests over the years, I always got the same result. Recently, I decided to dive a bit deeper into the Enneagram and tritypes, and found out I’m an INFP 9w8 954.

Tbh, I’m kinda shocked by how accurately it describes me. I actually decided to test this with AI. I gave it different hypothetical situations and asked it how an INFP 9w8 954 would most likely react, without telling it that I was describing myself. Then I compared its answers to how I thought I would actually react.

And honestly, the results were weirdly accurate. A lot of the time, the reaction it came up with was either exactly what I would do or really close to it. What got me even more was that sometimes its explanation for the reaction was also really close to the reasoning I would have for doing it. Obviously it wasn’t right every single time, but there were enough surprisingly specific matches that I started wondering how much my type actually influences the way I react to things.

That’s probably what I find so interesting about typology. I expected the descriptions to be relatable, but I didn’t expect INFP + 9w8 + 954 to line up with so many little things about how I react to situations. It’s also made me look at some of my own reactions differently, which I didn’t really expect.

I’m still not sure how much of this is actually the type and how much is just typology being good at describing common patterns, but I’d be really interested to hear if anyone else has had a similar experience with their own type.

I really like Majora's Mask, but I don't think I can enjoy it

​

I've been playing Majora's Mask for the first time, and I think I might stop playing it, which honestly sucks because I really like the game itself.

I love Termina, the atmosphere, the characters, the masks, the side stories, and the way the world is designed. I also generally prefer the older Zelda formula. Link's Awakening is actually my favorite Zelda because I love that feeling of having a fairly linear progression while still being able to wander around and discover things on my own.

I know this is probably the most obvious thing to complain about in Majora's Mask, but the time limit really is the main issue I'm having with the game. I just realized that this particular mechanic really doesn't work for the way I like to play.

It's not just that I dislike having a timer. The problem is that the timer makes every little mistake or inconvenience much more frustrating. The N64-era controls and camera can be a bit awkward sometimes, so things happen like accidentally Z-targeting when I wanted to center the camera, attacking the air, getting turned around by the camera, missing something and having to redo part of the route, etc.

Normally, none of that would bother me. I'd just laugh, correct it and keep playing.

But when there's a clock constantly counting down, I feel like every mistake costs me something. Instead of exploring because I'm curious, I start thinking about whether I have enough time to do something before I have to reset the cycle.

And that's the part I don't enjoy. I want to be able to play a Zelda game at my own pace. If I want to spend 30 minutes wandering around and looking at things, I want to be able to do that without feeling like I'm wasting part of a limited resource.

I've considered slowing down the clock or modifying the game, but honestly, if I have to change such a fundamental mechanic to enjoy the game, maybe Majora's Mask just isn't for me.

What's interesting is that I actually think I'd love Majora's Mask without the time pressure. I like almost everything else about it.

I know this is probably the most basic Majora's Mask complaint ever, and I'm sure some people will roll their eyes reading this. But I've been feeling this way while playing and I honestly felt the need to share it anyway.

Edit: I know I can play the Song of Time backwards, but I appreciate the suggestion! I still stand by my point, though. I think part of the issue is that even when I slow down time, I still feel like I'm progressing further into the cycle, so when I eventually reset it feels like I've lost more. It might just be because I not used to how the game works yet.

Looking for feedback on my Hunger Games fanfic

Hi! I’m writing a Hunger Games fanfic called THG: A Name in the Ballot, set during the First Quarter Quell, 25 years after the Dark Days.

The story will have two perspectives. One follows a Capitol stylist who is involved in the preparations for the Quell, including a tour through the districts before the voting takes place. The other follows the tribute they eventually become connected to, from the events in their district through the Games.

So far, I’ve written the opening and the first chapters, which cover the announcement of the Quarter Quell and the meeting where the Capitol’s stylists are told about the tour and how they will be assigned to the districts.

I originally write in Spanish, so I’ve translated what I have so far into English with AI assistance. The Spanish version is the original, but I’d like to get some feedback from different people who know The Hunger Games and can tell me what they think of the story so far.

I’m mainly looking for general feedback on the writing, the premise, the characters, and whether the opening is interesting enough to make you want to keep reading.

Here’s the doc:

Spanish version -https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U5u6ge08HbdJF2G8s8io3x41pbhDk0_VuucKtqnUe5g/edit?usp=sharing

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read it!

What actually happened in the 1st Quarter Quell? Could Tigris have rigged it?

​

I’ve been thinking about what the 1st Quarter Quell (the 25th Hunger Games, where tributes were chosen by vote) might have been like, and I’ve built a headcanon that I wanted to share here.

Based on what we already know, the announcement, which was a couple months before the games, musthave completely transformed the atmosphere across Panem. In my mind (maybe it’s been mentioned in the books, but i can't remember since i havent read them recently) each district reacted very differently:

• In the rich districts (1, 2, and 4): Since the careers trained for this and going to the arena was an honor, they probably ran full political campaigns to elect who were going to the games.

• In the middle-tier districts: Pure corruption, blackmail, and vote-buying took over. Voting became the ultimate weapon to settle old grudges or ruin a rival’s life.

• In the poorest districts (like 12): The impact was devastating because it shattered solidarity. The sense of community fell apart under total fear; people were terrified to speak, act, or even go outside, knowing any wrong move could lead to them or their kids being voted in.

In my headcanon, I like to think that the victor of this Quell was someone nobody expected to win someone sent to the arena basically to die. And this happened because of someone we already know, Tigris Snow.

Being Snow’s cousin, as she was a stylist on early games, he gave her a privilege no other stylist had: being allowed to visit the districts one by one to choose whicch district she was gonna dress. This way she would have witnessd the situation in each district firsthand.

She could have also seen the chaos and political fallout in the Capitol after the announcement, maybe at first the news wasn't well recived there because some thought that the districts could start a rebellion and, because of that, Tigris felt an overwhelming urge to do something and saw the perfect opportunity to rebel against her cousin, because, as we've seen in TBOSAS at first she didnt like the hunger games.

But to achieve her aim she needed a tribute who could cooperate with her:

During her trip, she met someone who could help her, maybe they're linked to her past (a descendant of Sejanus in District 2, or a descendant of a former Covey member who stayed behind in another district before the borders closed, building a life away from the group while keeping certain traditions alive). And she became a morally complex character. She was deeply against the Games, but to execute her private rebellion, she needed this person to go to the arena. So she manipulated things (spreading rumors or getting the tribute to agree to a plan) to guarantee they became the most voted person in their district. She effectively sent someone to the slaughterhouse hoping to challenge the system.

Back then, tributes didn’t wear standardized arena uniforms yet; at first they wore the clothes they used for the reaping, but maybe, when the stylists started being part of the games the arena uniforms were designed by them. Because of that, being Snow’s cousin, Tigris managed to know many details about the arena layout and designed a suit packed with subtle advantages, survival features or hidden weapons imperceptible both before and after use. And having seen what happened to Snow when he got caught helping Lucy Gray, she made sure to leave zero trace for her not to be punished

Thanks to those hidden advantages anda bit of luck, the tribute unexpectedly won the Games. But the aftermath was completely tragic:

• The victor returned unexpectedly to a home where they knew for a fact that their own neighbors, friends, and community consciously voted to send them to their death.

• Coriolanus, even if he wasn't sure about what happened, suspected or confronted Tigris over what she did. This could be the point when Tigris started acting more against her cousin and that's why she ended up on the rebels side in mockingjay. Maybe this was also the start of Tigris’ extreme body modifications, either as a form of forced isolation imposed by Snow to push her away, or as her own self-inflicted punishment driven by guilt or depression for sending someone to the arena only to achieve her goal.

This could also explain why the Capitol later introduced standardized arena uniforms for every tribute, to prevent stylists from pulling off a trick like this ever again.

TL;DR: Tigris Snow might be the reason the Capitol standardized arena uniforms. Here's my theory on how a journey through the districts led her to secretly help a tribute during the 1st Quarter Quell, ultimately causing her fallout with Coriolanus and perhaps even explaining her later body modifications.

I don't think we talk about Tigris Snow enough

​

Honestly, the more I reread the series and think about Tigris, the more I realize how insanely tragic and underrated she is.

She survived the Dark Days, sacrificing her own well-being so Coriolanus could have a better chance at a future. She knew him before he became President Snow, before power and ambition completely consumed him. She met Lucy Gray, witnessed the 10th Hunger Games, and unknowingly stood at the beginning of one of the most important turning points in Panem's history.

She then became a stylist, spending decades preparing tributes for the arena. She must have met countelss children knowing that most of them would never come home. She witnessed the Hunger Games evolve year after year, lived through the First, Second and even Third Quarter Quells, and saw generations of victors become celebrities on the outside while many of them were being broken behind the scenes. At the same time, she watched Snow rise to absolute power and had a front-row seat to the cruelty of his regime. It's also said that she herself was a victim of Snow, there are a lot of theories saying that he made her all those body modifications or that she made them for Snow not to be over her.

I also can't help but wonder how much guiilt she carried. Did she ever ask herself if she could have stopped Snow before he became the man we know? Did she blame herself for standing by for too long?

I think Tigris could represent something we rarely talk about in Panem: the consequences of complacency. Not everyone in the Capitol was cruel, but many people watched terrible things happen and convinced themselves there was nothing they could do. I wonder if Tigris ever struggled with the weight of that.

What gets me the most is everything we don't know. What was the final straw that made her turn against Snow? Was it one defining moment, or years of watching innocent people suffer? Did she know what Snow was doing to victors like Haymitch, Finnick, Johanna and so many others? How heartbreaking must it have been to watch the cousin she sacrificed so much for become the very thing she hated?

By the time we meet her in Mockingjay, she almost unrecognizable from the girl who cooked scraps to keep Coriolanus alive during the Dark Days. Decades of trauma and Capitol life left their mark, both emotionally and physically through her extreme surgical alterations. Somewhere along the line, the unbreakable bond between the cousins shattered, and Tigris was cast aside from Snow's inner circle.

​But despite everything she lived, her humanity never died. She wasnt an active rebel or a strategist, but when Katniss and the others asked for refuge in her shop, Tigris didn't hesitate. She fed them, hid them, and protected them, choosing compassion and quiet defiance over loyalty to a tyrant who had long since discarded her.

​That choice says everything about who she became. She couldn't stop Snow's rise to power, but in the end, she played a quiet, crucial part in his downfall.

For someone with relatively little page time, Tigris has one of the richest, most tragic, and most important implied stories in theentire series. Every time I reread the books, I appreciate her character more. She deserves so much more appreciation from the fandom.

Am I the only one who wants a completely different kind of 25th Hunger Games book?

I was thinking about the First Quarter Quell again, and honestly I don't think I'd want a book that's mostly about the arena.

I'd absolutely read it, but I feel like the most interesting part of those Games wouldn't be what happened once they started. What would make these Games so horrifying isn't how the tributes died, but everything that had to happen before they even got there. The Capitol forced entire communities to choose which two children would be sent to die. That's such a disturbing idea that I almost feel like telling the story from one tribute's POV would miss what actually made this Quell unique.

I'd much rather see a book that spends most of its time exploring what every district was like after the Quarter Queel card was read. The atmosphere, the fear, how different communities reacted, how people slowly started distrusting each other... I think that's where the real story is.

These are the points that I'd love most to read:

How each district reacted

Every district would probably react completely differently, and that's what makes me want this so bad.

- Districts 1, 2 and 4: I could imagine the careers basically campaigning to be chosen. Giving speeches, showing off their training, trying to convince everyone they're the strongest option and that voting for them is the safest choice for everyone else's children. It would almost feel like an elextion.

- Intermediate districts: This is where corruption would truly show its face. Voting would instantly turn into a dark market of leverage, blackmail, and political favor. Influential families, factory supervisors, and local officials would use their position to divert votes away from their own children. Neighbors would manipulate the system and use the ballots to settle old grudges, turning local envy into a death sentence for the most vulnerable.

- Poorer districts like 11 or 12: I imagine the atmosphere would be absolutely suffocating. People would barely speak to each other. Even drawing attentionto yourself would feel dangerous. Nobody would dare organize a secret plan, make alliances, or openly suggest voting for someone, because even that could make everyone suspicious. Every conversation would feel tense, every ballot would feel like personally signing someone else's death warrant, and the trust holding those communities together would slowly disappear.

○ The Capitol's perspective

I also think it would be really interesting to see how the Capitol reacted when this Quell was first announced from the inside. I could imagine them feeling genuine concern at first that forcing the districts to vote might push people too far or even be the start of a revolution.

Then we'd watch the propaganda do what it always does: slowly rebrand it as an act of "civic responsibility" and convince Capitol citizens that the districts are simply choosing their own representatives.

We could also follow the interviews, get to know each tribute's personality, see their relationship with their mentor, and gradually start forming opinions about who we're rooting for before the Games even begin.

○ The Games (not the focus of the book)

Personally, instead of watching the games from a single tribute's pov, I think it could be way more interesting to watch the games from the outside: through broadcasts, gamemakers, mentors, capitol viewers, or even reactions back in the districts. It would make every death feel strangely impersonal, almost like we were viewers from the capitol.

Of course, another option would be jumping between all 24 tributes, but I honestly think that would be exhaustign to write and probably even harder to follow as a reader.

○ Returning home as a victor

This is honestly the part I'd be most interested in.

Most victors return home to people who cried for them.

The victor of the 25th Hunger Games would return home knowing that their own neighbors, friends, or maybe even relatives deliberately chose them to die.

How do you even rebuild your life after that? How do you look people in the eye knowing they voted for you? And how do they look at you, knowing they were part of it?

Even if someone voted out of fear, or because they thought someone else had a better chance of surviving, that wouldn't make it any less painful. The damage would already be done.

Thats what makes this Quell so different from every otherone. The Capitol didn't just kill children, it made entire communities share the guilt. The arena would eventually end, but that feeling would stay with the district (even more on the victor) for years.

○ One last thing: cameos

This period of Panem is almost completely unexplored. I'd much rather meet entirely new characters than have another prequel where familiar faces keep showing up just because we know them from the original series. Small references are fine, but Panem should feel like a huge country, not a tiny town where everyone somehow knows everyone else.

I genuinely think that Tigris Snow is the key to finishing THG saga

​

My biggest wish for the future of the Hunger Games series is actually a Tigris Snow book or even a duology.

I know most people want a Finnick, Johanna or Plutarch book, but I think Tigris is the perfect character to connect every era of Panem.

Her story could start before the Dark Days, showing what life was like before Panem became what we know. Then it could cover the Dark Days, the creation of the Hunger Games, and eventually the 10th Games from Tigris' perspective. We'd see Coriolanus mentoring Lucy Gray, but more importantly, we'd witness Tigris slowly realizing that her cousin is changing into someone she barely recognizes. It could also show a few other important Games throughout the years, including the First Quarter Quell, while following Tigris' career as a stylist.

After, it could bridge TBOSAS or SOTR with the original trilogy. We'd see Panem gradually become the world we meet from Katniss' perspective with the main trilogy, meet more victors, witness the second Quarter Quell and Snow's reaction to Haymitch's defiance, and watch Tigris slowly distance herself from him and turning against the capitol from the inside, maybe she even met Plutarch and Collins could link her story with plutarch's. It could also include Finnick's and Johanna's Games and maybe how Finnick ended up knowing about Snow's secrets, which the fandom has wanted to see for years, but most importantly, it could finally show what happened behind the scenes in the Capitol: how Snow manipulated, blackmailed and punished victors, how he turned them into tools of the regime, and how Tigris witnessed all of it while becoming increasingly horrified by the man her cousin had become.

Finally, it could retell the original trilogy from the Capitol's perspective, showing Tigris secretly helping the rebellion before Katniss reaches her shop in Mockingjay, and ending with the aftermath of Snow's fall.

To me, Tigris is the only character whose story naturally ties together every major period of the saga. She knows Snow before he becomes President, survives to meet Katniss, and is present at the fall of the regime. Through her eyes, Suzanne Collins could explore nearly 70 years of Panem's history without making it feel like a collection of disconnected stories.

I genuinely think these two books would be the perfect way to close the Hunger Games saga. Does anyone else think Tigris has the most untapped potential in the entire series?

I think Season 7 has the perfect setup for Miraculous' darkest storyline yet

I've been thinking about the season 6 finale, where someone is supposedly going to betray Ladybug. If that's true, I genuinely think the most impactful choice would be Adrien/Cat Noir... but not because he chooses to.

Hear me out.

Adrien is a sentimonster, and Tomoe knows that. If she got hold of his ring with Chrysalis' help, she could control him and imagine them discovering that Adrien is Cat Noir through this and forcing him to betray Ladybug against his own will.

To me, that's far more tragic than a normal betrayal.

Instead of making Adrien "evil", next seasons could explore the horror of losing control over your own actions. He would have no idea why everyone suddenly distrusts him, why he keeps hurting the people he cares about, or why things keep happening around him that he can't explain because he is not aware that he is a sentibeing, watching him slowly realize that he isn't in control anymore could be genuinely unsettling.

At the same time, Ladybug would be forced to face the impossible task of fighting Cat Noir while questioning whether he's really acting of his own free will. The other heroes could become divided over whether he has truly betrayed them or if something else is going on, creating a much more psychological conflict than a simple "hero turns evil" story.

Chrysalis could also use this as a way to hurt Marinette and the season could explore even more her thoughts.

What makes this even sadder is that Adrien still has no idea about some of the biggest truths surrounding his own life. Before he even gets the chance to process any of them, he could end up being used as a weapon against the people he cares about.

I also think it would fit the direction Miraculous has been taking. The series has gradually become more mature, exploring manipulation, grief, identity, and controlling parents. A darker, more psychological season aimed could be incredible if written well.

Could Chrysalis or Tomoe use Kagami to break Marinette?

Kagami knows the truth about herself because of Felix, and they both revealed it to Marinette. Despite the fact that Tomoe was allied with Gabriel/Monarch, Marinette never exposed the truth about them because she didn't want Kagami to live without a mother. So, what would happen if the Kingdom or Chrysalis used this for their own benefit?

Imagine if Chrysalis and Tomoe, who both know about the creation of Kagami and Felix, used it against Marinette. Maybe Lila threatens to destroy Kagami's ring, or Tomoe herself allows it to happen. Or maybe they steal the peacock miraculous to make Kagami disappear if they don't find the ring that contains the amok.

I think this would completely break Marinette.

Not because she didn't know the truth, but because she chose not to reveal it. She tried to protect Kagami from losing her mother, and in doing so, she may have allowed the person who controlled her existence to remain in power.

The cruel irony is that Marinette's compassion and desire to spare Kagami from pain could end up being the reason she loses her forever.

I honestly think this would be the one thing that could make Marinette stop treating Chrysalis or others like Tomoe as just another enemy and become absolutely determined to bring them down. Not only because she would blame herself for what happened, but also because she would be completely enraged, Kagami has become one of her most trusted friend and realising that she may have gone forever or feeling that her enemies can decide whether Kagami lives or not is on their own.

Could this be Marinette's true breaking point, alongside the truth she's been covering up all season?
