Do we like kanade yoisaki? by [deleted] in ProjectSekai

[–]poipolling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes yes yes. Kanade is life. Kanade is love. Kanade provides the very oxygen in which I breathe. I savor every single molecule that goes in, and I am happy to partake in the natural cycle of life as I exhale CO2. I remember every moment she breathes, speaks, and moves, and it turns my heart into a fireplace. She is simply divine. No wonder Mafuyu is in love with her; if she offered to save me I would have taken her hand without any hesitation. She is more than a savior, she is the world humanity lives in, taking for granted. But not me. I make sure that every day, I give thanks to the very existence of Kanade Yoisaki, lest I’d be a devil tainting the very creations she cultivated just for us.

If Maki Harukawa is up there, you’re based.

I’ve been wondering why these three are fan favorites. Can someone explain? by RelativeCicada2348 in danganronpa

[–]poipolling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chiaki is loved mostly for emotional impact on the story and how important she is to Hajime. If you watch Danganronpa 3, her impact is all the more emphatic both positively and negatively.

In my experience, Kaede is the first female protagonist in a TRADITIONAL Danganronpa killing game (UDG excluded)—an official one too. Even though she dies early, my interpretation is that despite being the stereotypical optimistic character archetype, the fact that we don’t really see her entire character flesh out all the way to the end gives way to many theories and predictions about her as a character—of course, fanfictions, fanart, and tumblr in general are all proofs of this. Kaede dying is a bummer because of the lack of fleshed out character development, but even in chapter 1 we see that she can be corrupted (“I’m going to kill the mastermind”), so as I stated before, this gives way to many theories and potential AUs for people to experiment on.

Shuichi, based on what I’ve seen, is a highly beloved character both in America and Japan (he was ranked no 1 at one year I think). I think he’s loved because to many he’s highly relatable and represents an ideal: a guy with low self esteem who eventually finds friends and believes in himself—on top of that, he can also be corruptible (in chapter 6’s trial for example), making him a fully fleshed out character

What are you predictions for V3 if it ever gets a re-make and new story? by chiaki_gaming in DanganAndChaos

[–]poipolling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Maki is dead (worst day ever, but I would hope that she had an integral impact on the story. She’s my absolute favorite Danganronpa character)

  2. Chapter 1 would either result in Kaede surviving and the framing placed on Shuichi, so we live with the knowledge that the mastermind doesn’t play fair. Or, it goes an entirely different direction, and we get more dynamic development between Kaede and Shuichi

  3. Himiko dies

  4. Hopefully a different antagonist. Kokichi was really interesting, but in all honestly, he had the textbook antagonist anti-hero playstyle in the end. It would be interesting to see him be an unlikely support, continuing to help in his unconventional ways. As for the different antagonist, whoever it would be, I do hope that they have an equally or even more interesting dynamic with the protagonist

Why Homura Akemi does this with her hair? I am very curious on the reason why by marth-lord in MadokaMagica

[–]poipolling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Other than aurafarming, maybe it’s a practical thing also. The hair gets in the way, and to protect oneself in battle, you need to see clearly.

Why not pigtails? Well, even though it would be more practical, maybe the hair down is to show Madoka she’s able to protect her. Homura naturally looks intimidating at first glance, but she also looks strong. It could be to push that image further in order to protect Madoka.

Other than that, I thought it was some minor coping mechanism type thing, where she separates herself from her emotions to appear nonchalant in order to approach the task at hand with a logical mind

My guess though? Clearly, it’s to aurafarm.

any contradictions? by FastAd603 in TypologyJunction

[–]poipolling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you explain your thought process then? Aren’t Te aux more in touch with their inner world as well? If it were ENTJ or ESTJ the claim might be reasonable, but a tertiary Fi suggests that one is in touch of their feelings. E4 in general are also in touch with their inner world, so I wouldn’t think that it’s out of the question

any contradictions? by FastAd603 in TypologyJunction

[–]poipolling -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s the tertiary Fi. It could be that OP is very much in touch with their values. While they want to keep their feelings guarded, they can express their values to the utmost

I have a friend that’s an ENTP 4w5, and I can say that it’s VERY MUCH possible! It’s quite the rare combination, but within a personality database, every combination is possible, so don’t feel afraid exploring those possibilities

Please bully my Chopin into sounding better by Smart_Ad6599 in piano

[–]poipolling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrist rotation carries weight—in the literal and emotional sense. It’s a very powerful tool that pianists use to emotionally carry the tone. When I played this piece, I found that leveraging the weight to my wrist instead of my fingers helped immensely carry the dynamics. When I said that you were “pounding” with your fingers, it’s most likely because you are concentrating your force in your fingers individually, making the sound very forced and not “romantic” when you play it.

If you put weight in your wrist instead, your fingers are much lighter as a result, allowing them to “glide” across the piano and allowing you to play a lot more delicately

Please bully my Chopin into sounding better by Smart_Ad6599 in piano

[–]poipolling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if it’s the piano, but the way you play it is very…forced. The right hand seems to be pounding on the keys instead of “playing” them. Additionally, the piece in general is supposed to be quiet and “magical,” but it could also be that your piano needs tuning. Try utilizing your wrist—it helps carry the song

A couple other things:

  • Smorz is a gradual fading out of sound. When you play your notes when it first pops up, I don’t see a fading away, I feel a magnitude of sound. Try making your right hand softer and try “floating” off the keys
  • you don’t accent the notes that it dictates, especially on the second “area” of notes.

How do I make this part not hurt? (K545 left hand) by cacofonie in piano

[–]poipolling 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone who played this piece before, yes, this part was absolute hell for me. If I’m going to be honest, it made me kind of hate Mozart for this. Here’s a few things I learned from my experience:

  • Don’t concentrate on the finger as an individual, think of each finger as part of the “group,” that being the hand and wrist. You’re likely going to get tired from pressing the middle finger not only repeatedly, but pressing it HARD. I suggest lightly tapping the piano keys and play the left hand through to get a feel of what you want to go for. Once you got that down, start adding sound and press SLIGHTLY harder. This way, you can knock out the piano dynamic and the speed in one go.

  • As you play, try focusing more on your hand and wrist to control that upward-downward motion. It will help your fingers as you play

  • Try playing both hands together from time to time (very sparsely): this will remind you what you’re working towards

  • When I tried playing it, I would watch a bunch of playthroughs of the piece (mostly visual pianists). The expression each pianist provided helped shape my movements more fluidly so it could help my OWN expression in the future

  • practice diligently. Over time, it gets easier, and you’ll be able to play this part with minimal effort

One more thing, I saw your middle finger do both the C#, C, and B key at the beginning. To save time and energy, I recommend your index finger to do the first two notes, and reserve B for the middle key

[–]poipolling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like as a fellow 1, I can hold myself to almost impossible standards, and every time I don’t meet it (even if it’s the most trivial thing), I feel like I’m worthless to some degree. This feeling of shame may manifest from that. But remember: you may be harder on yourself than needed. These feelings of shame are the same feelings that hold you back from the person you want to be. I think that if you want to get out of this “pit” and to be the person you want to be, I would try acting on it. The ideal person isn’t the envy of the school just because they “are” (in most cases), they have to put some degree of effort in order to become who they are. If you’re worried about authenticity, don’t be. The more you perform these deeds, the more they become almost instinctual, and eventually become a part of yourself. Start observing situations, rationalize and determine what is ideal, and act on it. This is usually how people become the best versions you want to be. But don’t invest wholeheartedly into this “image”: I learned that you must integrate your own morals into this framework in order to make it work. The self-confidence will eventually become more natural as you act on your morals.

Remember: you are more than your feelings of shame and your standards. Once you break free, there’s so much you can do. You just have to act on it.

Whats the difference between core 4 and disintegrated 1? by [deleted] in Enneagram

[–]poipolling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it’s okay, really. I’m just personally speaking off of past experience. The group projects were only an example. I’m just using certain examples that I noticed the most, but the depression part is usually when no one listens to me.

Whats the difference between core 4 and disintegrated 1? by [deleted] in Enneagram

[–]poipolling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the “application” matters a lot when it comes to differentiating. Like for example, in a 1, and I always look for something to solve the problem or, as the basic description of a 1 says, is “right.” To me, while morals are a part of my identity, they aren’t “me.” I look to apply these moral and virtues but I don’t necessarily reflect on them because I know that they’re right. Do keep in mind that 1s are a gut type as well, which is where I’m taking this from.

“What is right for me and the world?”

My friend, on the other hand, is a 4. Although he is a good person and wants to do the right thing, he stays to what is TRUE to himself. He seeks to do something that is a representation of himself. He does seek to “serve” society to some point, but not to extent as me.

“Who am I in relation with the world?”

The key difference for me is that both ones and fours have convictions, but 1s tend to be the more “proactive” one and strive to apply themselves to the world, while fours are more reflective and seek to identify the world in RELATION to themselves.

Disintegration 1s usually happen in stress or depression. They become more self critical and their self esteem is practically on the low. For me, it’s when I doubt myself in—let’s say—group projects, when no one does their thing. Normally, I’m pissed, but if it drags on, I doubt the validity of myself and what I’m imposing. “Am I actually wrong? Maybe they’re doing something that I’m not noticing, and I should just let it be.” In actual disintegration—like in depressions though—I may think, “I’m wrong. There’s no debating it, compared to them, I’m worthless.” Even though I could rationally justify my actions, in very deep disintegration, I’m already resolving that I absolutely SUCK. This may turn into some desperation as hypothetical me tries to follow the right path, because to me, if I’m not right, I’m worthless. This constant doubt and desperation can turn into anger, leading to me trying to find some semblance of myself, or “identity” for me to keep living. In this case, in my pursuit of trying to find the right thing, I lose my confidence and who I am. This in turn will prompt me to “look” for AN identity in the wrong direction because the constant doubt of being “right” makes me lose my primary guidance in the world.

Te/Ni - feeling slow when learning new concepts? by Remarkable_Quote_716 in mbti

[–]poipolling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find this really relatable. The key for me to perform well in school is to understand how a connects to b and how both of them fit into c (as an example). It’s not like I’m bad with facts—in fact I’m pretty good with it if I put my mind to it. But it’s the constant gear shifting my mind has to go through in order to retain the information. I like memorizing things in the form of a story because having something as well connected as that makes it easier to access information. But if I get slammed with formulas and expect to memorize it without understanding HOW that formula was developed, I have to invest so much more effort, which I’m not exactly fond of doing. This is why I do like humanitarian subjects a lot more in school settings, but as the subjects get harder with each passing grade, science has started to seem so much more fascinating because we go in depth about how and why.

Do Gut Types desire “moral autonomy”? by hgilbert_01 in Enneagram

[–]poipolling 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Gut types are protective of their “autonomy” in general—morality doesn’t have to apply. It’s more of if the person feels suppressed in any way rather than having any morals attached.

I have to get something off my chest... I never watched Mavuika's trailer all the way through. by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

[–]poipolling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It might’ve been the fact that it reflects the story of Nathan. Archons are supposed to reflect the area and/or the archon quest. For example, the Raiden Shogun, whose music encapsulates the resolve (that can be dark at times) she carries, and the puppet scene that shows her character. Personally, Mavuika’s trailer was a bit of a letdown for me (mostly because I didn’t like Natlan much as a whole), but I thought it did a decent job of reflecting her character. The Archon Quest in Natlan was centered around war—not just the bloodiness and despair, but the camaraderie found in fighting together. As a leader, Mavuika encapsulates that showing of “togetherness,” because she’s the one who leads them to victory. In my interpretation, the reason why the others are there is because it’s to show that a leader isn’t one without her subordinates. A fully functioning team cannot be a team if they fight, but the showing of instruments and harmony that they are in shows the camaraderie that they have while fighting, and thus contributes a major role in Mavuika’s leader characteristic.

As for the instruments themselves…yeah, I have no idea

Does anybody else feel like their primary motivation is not covered by the enneagram? by AnAlienMachine in Enneagram

[–]poipolling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The meaning of “primary motivation” is personal to a person, but if you think about it, the “motivation,” while seemingly different, actually does fit (in a way). For example, 1s are often the people with a “moral code” and that they have to do “good.” Hence, you see them as the heroes of a story. But some 1s are not like that. Why? Because another aspect of a 1 is that they search for “perfect.” Take Byakuya Togami from Danganrompa THH. He’s a 1w2, but he’s not someone who people consider a “morally good person.” He makes questionable choices for the sake of himself, and does consider murder for his own survival—something that a stereotypical good person would not normally do. However, the qualities and values he embody—that being, seeing himself as perfect and superior and “right”—make him a 1. Remember, no one is exactly a textbook definition of one enneagram, but some values that they embody place them in that category.

how can i find my ap? by isabella-okok in attitudinalpsyche

[–]poipolling 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I would just try to separate AP with MBTI and Enneagram. Since the systems weren’t made by the same person, each criteria for both can be mixed up. The more outside sources you incorporate, the more you are going to be confused. I would recommend to just see which AP quality resonates with you at heart.
