INFP: Listen! All I'm Asking Is To Travel To A Fantasy World Of My Choosing, Become The MC (for Plot

INFP: Listen! All I'm asking is to travel to a fantasy world of my choosing, become the MC (for plot armor reasons, I don't want to die so soon), have a cottage in the woods, commune with the highly lethal mythical creatures of the forest, meanwhile have a potions and sweets shop. Then save enough money and journey to a magical college so I can study ancient cultures and make crazy experiments.

Saw yet another bullshit take that everything is about love and love is what makes us human and I will again remind you of the following

1. Reducing humanity to a single emotion will always exclude some people who choose to avoid that emotion, have a complicated relationship with it, or cannot identify/feel it.

2. Not all humans have experienced love in a way that was healthy or safe and assuming that love is a default "good" emotion is potentially hurtful and/or triggering.

And

3. Humans are capable of experiencing dozens of emotions love is just one of these emotions and should not be upheld as more important or worthy than any other emotion.

As if this family doesn’t have enough problems I’ve decided to create some more! Based on that one bit of trivia that Pepa was worried bc Antonio was too quiet

And because I got it bad here’s some headcanons I had drawing this

He's pretty blunt, and only gonna get more blunt from here on cause animals, wild animals at that, don’t care about being polite or civil. He will be very well-versed in 2 things due to all the animal wrangling: spotting if someone's hiding their hurts, and processing death and loss. Skills that, if Mirabel hasn't reached her boiling point, will prepare him for dealing with the trauma once he's old enough to notice it (now that's an AU concept...). He's the magic's contingency plan in getting this family therapy.

Antonio and Bruno are/were both Weird Kids, but different types. Antonio’s type is Build Different (autism) while Bruno’s is “life already sucks might as well”

This one's drawing from personal experience but: Bruno, on account of being 1. childless 2. ND as fuck 3. a pretty unhappy person most of the time, is extremely unconcerned ab kids being weird and not sunshine-and-laughter 24/7. Wanna go bury a rat? Sure. He does intervene if the kid starts sounding a little too much like him

Superstitions aside, he was the steadiest of the triplets, in the resigned way of someone who had to stare down his lot in life and continue to live with it since 5. Was, cause Julieta (2nd place) took his place by gaining more emotional support in the form of Agustín

And now, fun facts:

And now, fun facts:

5yo is pretty hit and miss when it comes to grasping the concept of death and grieving. Antonio gets what it is, but he hasn’t quite get that everyone and everything dies all the time

I did look up popular playing card games in Colombia, but Uno’s funnier

Brunitico (a diminutive of a diminutive, -ico and not -ito bc Colombian) Pepa’s just absolutely lording her elder child status and height over him. The wedding hurricane was extreme but normally they do exercise every last shred of Cain instinct they have at each other

Me: I want a friend, I'm so alone... ;-;

Also me: I don't want any friends, what if they just befriended me out of empathy? What if I did something which would make them hate me? I'd rather be alone in my own universe with my para friends.

A few things people with maladaptive daydreaming really wished you knew but we just can't tell you:

(Some of these are just from my experience and may not apply to everyone)

Don't be offended if we zone out during a conversation. Lots of things trigger us and sometimes in even the most interesting conversations we can't help but imagine what our paras are doing right now, or what we'll daydream about next.

DO👏NOT👏INTERRUPT👏US👏WHEN👏WE'RE 👏IN👏THE👏MIDDLE👏OF👏A👏DAYDREAM👏 long story short, the feeling of anger and absolute rage is so intense we literally want to snap your spine. The only reason we don't is because then that would mean we'd have to wait even longer to return to the daydream.

Certain songs may make us feel a certain way. We use songs to trigger certain daydreams, so certain music will touch us more than the average person. For example if someone played the song our para died too, we would almost feel like it's happening again. It's a bit like someone playing a song that was at a loved ones funeral, but worse.

Dating is hard for us. It's common for madders to have para lovers and so when it comes to dating we may feel like we're betraying our para.

Our daydreams are as complicated and intense as Harry Potter. We come up with some pretty dramatic stuff, which helps us cope with real life trauma. This is also why we're so creative.

Time flies for us. We get so immersed in our daydreams that sometimes up to 5 or 6 hours can pass and we don't notice. It's common for us to stop daydreaming and realise we've gone a whole day without eating, drinking, going to the toilet, or that our feet are almost bleeding from pacing so much.

We can't just stop. It may seem that simple, but the truth is, It's an addiction and a coming mechanism. When traumatic events happen in the real world, we use our daydreams to deal with it. Events such as our loved ones passing away may cause familiar events to happen in our paracosms. Even I've noticed that during 2020 my daydreams have become more traumatic (for example more paras have been getting hurt or even killed, and the relationships between my paras are more complicated).

8. Writing this was hard because I kept falling into a daydream.
