i'm realising i didn't really talk about myself that much in that last response, lol...

i don't know how i originally landed on mage. i think it was like... partly just a light sensitivity thing? as striderian as that is (eugh). i think i took a quiz way back and then poked around the 'net; pretty sure the aforementioned tumblr post with the enneagram assigned mage to INTP. i won't argue with it.

classpects can be very personal but ultimately i'm not built for socializing and have kind of been thrust into it by virtue of the american education system, alongside bearing witness to interpersonal strife more times than i can probably count. i'm also pretty invested in learning about what makes people tick (which made me temporarily consider mind) & i spend more time than i'd like to admit thinking about social structures. so... blood.

i think with mages it's a little imperative to not like your aspect, though. i do often wish i were a breath player, as much as they have their own issues (the obliviousness is really not something i need.) you can also see that with sollux. it's a begrudging acceptance of the thing. if i'm right, it has interesting implications for how meulin feels about herself.
