I truly find the MBTI to be inaccurate and unreliable. I also find them to be harmful.

I'm sure this is an uncontroversial opinion on this particular corner of the internet but I seriously think transitioning bc you think it'll make your life easier (incel transmaxxing, ftm for... higher pay?, whatever) is fucking awesome and more people should do it. and honestly more valid than people who are like "Ummm I don't really like being a guy so I guess I'm a cute catgirl now :3?" idk to me it feels far more reasonable to transition for "profit" than out of like hugboxed r/egg_irl pressure or w/e
maybe the difference is not making it into your actual identity -> easier to stop if you decide it's not for you, but if you are actually trans than awesome glad it worked out. whereas jumping in on a whim and making it your whole persona -> harder to step away if you change your mind, and if you are actually trans you end up annoying about it LMAO

All the rage over the MH reboot character designs reminds me of when some Transformers fans threw a hissy fit because Bayverse Bumblebee’s alt mode was a Camaro instead of a Volkswagen, lmao. It’s so ridiculous. New MH was never going to be exactly the same as Old MH (because toylines have to reinvent themselves every now and then if they want to keep selling toys, especially fashion dolls), but the differences aren’t even that extreme? Yeah, okay, so Clawdeen wears glasses now and Draculaura has split tone hair and a different body type, so fucking what, those are minor changes, they’re still recognizable as those characters, it’s still recognizably Monster High. It’s not like MLP where the entire look of the toys changed SO drastically every generation that if you put a G4 or G5 pony next to a G1 pony it’s hard to believe they’re the same kind of toy. MH got off easy compared to some other toy reboots.

Nico and Percy's dynamic through the series is eternally funny to me, because it's just. like.
Percy's having a constant mental struggle between his fatal flaw of loyalty with a promise he made to Bianca to protect Nico, versus his Big 3 kid desire to maim other Big 3 kids / Poseidon descendant urge to totally maim Nico specifically. He hates Nico so so much. He thinks Nico's annoying and weird at best, and creepy/sketchy when he's older. The only positive thoughts Percy has towards Nico are "He's Bianca's brother and Bianca was my friend and I owe her/He's Hazel's brother and Hazel is my friend and would kill me if I was mean to him," "He's a powerful asset and useful ally (if questionable)," and "He's kinda pathetic and I feel maybe a little bad about it." Percy has multiple occasions throughout the series where he strongly considers - and on one occasionally actually goes through with - throttling Nico.
Meanwhile, Nico is following around Percy like a lost puppy. He explicitly can never bring himself to even dislike anything about Percy no matter how hard he tries. He has a whole bit in BoO where he's mentally going "UGH he's so stupid BUT IT'S ENDEARING HOW DARE HE." He's totally smitten. He's making deals with his dad for Percy. He's making convoluted plans to help Percy stand a chance against Kronos. During the entirety of BoTL it's like he's playing tsundere - "I'm helping NOT PERCY SPECIFICALLY with this quest! Me helping Percy would be SILLY because I DEFINITELY HATE HIM." Then he proceeds to show up to Percy's birthday party to basically ask him on a weird date and spend the entire next book scrambling around trying to help him or protect him or impress him. And Percy could not give less of a shit.
Just. That dynamic is so funny to me. Percy is the founder of the Nico Protection Club in that he's the one they're all protecting Nico from and meanwhile Nico is throwing himself at Percy to the point where the literal god of gay love calls him out on it.
