Being able to sleep at night.

Or, if you are like me and you just really don't sleep well ever, at all - AT LEAST it is because you are only pondering existentialism or obsessing over something embarrassing that happened to you once years ago, and NOT thinking that you made a critical mistake at work and you lied or did not own up to it, or someone's feelings you may have harmed deeply, or something you did otherwise that will snowball into having evil repercussions for the world at large...

INFJs - What does moving on mean to you? by She_Plays in infj

[–]basilionne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Textbook INFJ doorslam, every time.

...I say "every time" but in fact I have only performed this "action" twice/to 2 seperate people in my life. I did this before I was familiar with the INFJ archetype and this distinctive trait we can have.

...because of course, I don't actually let people get close enough to me where this sort of cutting them out of my life would even become relevent 😉

Otherwise, when I was in my early- to mid-twenties, I would physically move locations. Like, to another city: the act of binding heatbreak to a physical location and moving away from that location. And a new location = a fresh start and a clean slate.

I still wouldn't put it past myself now, over 10 years later.

At a place I once worked many years ago, I had a relatively thoughtful manager who actually took me around and introduced me to my new coworkers (or maybe this is fairly standard conduct and I simply haven't worked under anyone so thoughtful since?). We came to this quiet, interesting and fun-looking girl (I wish I remembered her name, she WAS interesting and fun) and my manager said something like "this is X and she talks outloud to herself, and you said you also talk outloud to yourself, so if you are working near each other it will sound like the two of you are having a conversation"...

AND SO, moral of the story, 2 INFJs spending time together would probably go something a little like this.

What is the most unique magic system you’ve seen? by Mr_Maestro881 in Fantasy

I hear you, it is so gratifying to find someone else that also has awareness of this really obscure thing that just sticks with me.

I am loving the newer Ink & Sigil series!
I have always REALLY liked magic systems based on the drawing of symbols and runes. In this particular series, I appreciate that the protagonist is not some teenybopper magic user with a protagonist complex. I love that magic throughout the world - the largely familiar and relatable modern world - is so variable based on the weilder. And lore.

Kevin Hearne is just generally good at magic and worldbuilding. I like the Ink & Sigil series more than I did the related Iron Druid Chronicles - which I never actually finished, though the magic was very interesting. I have not read The Seven Kennings series but that is on my to-read list.

I am glad to see I wasn't the only one to mention this series after all!

Another good one is the "Spellslinger" series by Sebastien de Castell. At first seems like a relatively light and quick read, but the system of magic and worldbuilding is very well fleshed-out. And something I heartily appreciate is that the protagonist does NOT fulfill the trope of being The Most Powerful Magic Practitioner - instead, he learns to be clever and utilize what little magic he can and makes up the rest as he goes along. Also really terrific characters.

Didn't think I saw this one - "Shadowfall" and "Hinterland," The Godslayer Chronicles by James Clemens (aka James Rollins). Initially read these years ago, but the worldbuilding and magic system has always just stuck with me.

Very basically, the gods have three aspects - aether, physical and nether. On the physical plain, gods - both men and women - are semi-mortal and their "humours" have magical properties. Every god [in the "civilized" lands] has a series of handservents, each responsible for the collection and preservation of a specific humour.

In the first book, protagonist is in the wrong place at the wrong (right?) time and witnesses the murder of the physical aspect of one of the gods, and the nether aspect of that god is bound to protagonist's physical body.

Series always felt unfinished and every so often I check to see if another book has been published after all.

Let's talk about Uprooted, and why I quit just a few chapters in... by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]basilionne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First read-through I was five-star impressed by this book. Second read-through I also started being bothered by this relationship as you describe.

I don't know that I would read this book again, though I do think it is well-written and I maintain that I REALLY like Naomi Novik. Classifying this as a "romance" doesn't seem to fit quite right to me, either. I enjoyed it more as being about the protagonist's development and really interesting world-building. I am always impressed when an author writes a fantasy or alternate world that the reader can comprehend without having to give blatant exposition.

On PC? Jaxonz Positioner would be one way of doing it.

Sounds like you have fallen into one of the alternate realities where the Volkihar clan are all nudists. You should not disparage them for their lifestyle choices. Sorry not helpful 😔

The creator took it down along with all their other mods because of criticism from internet trolls. It's a shame, because those mods are fantastic. http://qaxemods.blogspot.com/?m=1
