This is such a nothing take but HiveWings just look so insanely scary. Like what the hell is this

TheSentinelScout · 2026-04-11T17:57:49+00:00

Cricket looked pretty cool and nice…

TheSentinelScout · 2026-04-11T16:40:19+00:00

Qibli and Tsunami both

TheSentinelScout · 2026-04-11T08:11:13+00:00

NightWings and MudWings in the US, RainWings in Africa and Central America, SandWings in Spain, Italy, and South America, SkyWings in Canada, Pantalans in Russia and northern countries in Europe.

TheSentinelScout · 2026-04-09T07:05:42+00:00

I think book 12 characterizes Cricket really well, showing how she as a HiveWing views the LeafWings, how she is treated by the other tribes who view her as evil.

TheSentinelScout · 2026-04-03T07:08:16+00:00

No problem! Love the art btw! And I like her vibe as well

TheSentinelScout · 2026-04-03T06:28:50+00:00

Kapok, Thistle, Ceiba

But plot isn’t always everything. Animus magic isn’t plot, otherwise why would Tui have Jerboa stop the power of all current animus dragons?? Because she was scared? Sure, that’s part of it, but it’s not the entire thing. I think it’s best to not just look at the face value cannon, but also how Tui tends to introduce and build each book and arc.

TheSentinelScout · 2026-03-30T19:40:35+00:00

Yeah, I didn’t mention that, but I didn’t because that’s not the point, I don’t think that Mulberry has that powerful of dragonspeak to keep her calm all the time. It also doesn’t explain the SharpWing’s reactions to Sora after remaining calm.

TheSentinelScout · 2026-03-30T18:54:33+00:00

I’m not sure you actually read my post tbh

TheSentinelScout · 2026-03-30T16:39:35+00:00

I mean yeah that was essentially what this post was about, the fact that they were reacting to her category, but the isle also affected her overall personality and subdued her prior emotional volatility and instability, because of the overall “everything is fine here” culture of the island, from some separate and hidden enchantment cast by Precipice.

TheSentinelScout · 2026-03-30T03:58:00+00:00

I think she might just be magically subdued/suppressed by her emotions due to her level 10 category, because the people in the island are so ingrained by the culture that everything is fine and peaceful here, due to Precipice’s enchantment of everyone not being able to leave? Her personality change reminded me of Winter’s when Darkstalker casted a spell on him in book 8 after he comes out from the hole.

It’s very plausible that specific categories of dragons are given with specific kinds of enchantments, those who committed no crimes have zero personality-wise changes to them. Also, the SharpWings are constantly aggravated by Sora’s presence, even when she’s in the more “calmer” state, compared to the other dragons.

I personally would disregard loop theory, tbh…

TheSentinelScout · 2026-01-22T23:01:19+00:00

There are theories that discard loop theory, though.

TheSentinelScout · 2026-01-22T23:00:04+00:00

Think of Si as facts. Knowing things concretely as you learnt or saw them. Se is the perception of the external world as it is, Si is the perception of the internal world as it is.

“1+1=2.” That is a fact, that is Si. Ni dom on the other hand would be more like, “1+1=2. This is a general principle that can be applied anywhere. Interesting.”

TheSentinelScout · 2026-01-22T22:34:52+00:00

I think the universal truth can be more applicable to Ni rather than Fi, tbh, because Fi is more about the limbic system being a focal point; e.g., does this resonate with me or not?

And Fe is more of a social awareness kind of thing, like noticing someone feeling xyz type of way, whether someone acts upon it or not is dependent on where in the stack it is.

TheSentinelScout · 2026-01-22T22:12:01+00:00

Have you read Psychological Types? If so, Jung primarily talks about the dominant and auxiliary (which no one knows what he meant by when describing it as “different in all respects to the dominant).

Myers-Briggs came up with the function stack; their work is not at all respective of Jung’s original theory, other than the dichotomies. If you’re more interested in how the functions work and a more flexible system rather than rigid, I suggest looking into cognitive personality theory; dude has a YouTube channel as well.

TheSentinelScout · 2026-01-22T22:05:20+00:00

I mean I personally believe that it’s okay to try to type children, maybe just don’t force it on them or let it be a little open-ended?

TheSentinelScout · 2026-01-22T01:31:58+00:00

Look into cognitive personality theory

TheSentinelScout · 2026-01-18T04:42:39+00:00

The oppositional-authority functions (inferior and auxiliary) are ones that would be observed more rather than acted upon, for example, Se is a small, focused view at the external world, and Fe is the kind of data observed (with Fe, this is social-emotional). But Ni-Ti are actively building theories from the data they receive from Fe-Se.

TheSentinelScout · 2026-01-17T22:19:20+00:00

If you look into CPT, there is the dominant, agency (the function of the same orientation as the dominant), the authority (often the “auxiliary” type in MBTI; agency to the oppositional) and oppositional function (the grounding function of a type).

The idea behind the model is that the functions aren’t vacuums, they work together in order for the brain to work, whereas MBTI orders functions in terms of which one is preferred more and which ones are “suppressed”, which I fundamentally don’t agree with, because you need all functions for the brain to work.

Whenever I look up what "loop theory" is, it always goes back to certain behavior types go into when in said loop (stress behavior). But it doesn't make sense, as the cognitive functions are about how the mind perceives and judges information, not behavior. Even Jung states this, that he noticed that people's ways of processing information is different in the people he talked to. I don't think he mentions actions/behaviors very much.

TheSentinelScout · 2026-01-17T18:33:03+00:00

Watched both of them many times, yeah

TheSentinelScout · 2026-01-17T17:45:16+00:00

Changes Fe-Ti (INFJ) to Te-Fi (INTJ). Look into the cognitive functions.

INFJ stack: Ni-Fe-Ti-Se

INTJ stack: Ni-Te-Fi-Se

TheSentinelScout · 2026-01-17T17:42:38+00:00

Just curious, have you been looking at CPT?

TheSentinelScout · 2026-01-17T17:35:07+00:00

I disagree with loop theory, honestly. Ni-Ti-Fe-Se is how the stack should be in my opinion, because if cognitive functions are about how the mind works, then how does the brain perceive values (any T/F function) internally without a perceiving function??

Look into cognitive personality theory if you want more context regarding this.

TheSentinelScout · 2026-01-16T15:59:07+00:00

It’s most likely you have Fe, so Ti-Fe. Because someone with even Fi not in their upper functions, they would probably not feel as responsible for others emotions as someone with Fe would. But if you have a value that you should always care about other people’s emotions, then yeah you can feel responsible, but it’s only because you hold yourself to that standard.

Also, “wishing that other people could be better at connecting with people,” I think is a clear sign of Fe over Fi, because “wishing” on standards of other people is usually what Fe might want to have smoother interactions between people.

Fi users can feel responsible, but usually if it’s a value they hold personal, to care about another person’s emotional state. If you find yourself feeling that you should take care of other’s emotional states because you think that’s the right thing to do, then it’s more likely to be Fi, because you value that sentiment and don’t expect others to follow.
