CRITICAL ROLE: BELL'S HELLS (2021–) ENNEAGRAM TYPES ★
Fresh Cut Grass – Type 1(w9): The Optimist
Ones are conscientious and ethical, with a strong sense of right and wrong. They are advocates for change: always striving to improve things, but afraid of making a mistake. They try to maintain high standards, but can slip into being critical and perfectionistic. They typically have problems with impatience. Ones have a sense of mission that leads them to want to improve the world in various ways, using whatever degree of influence they have. They strive to overcome adversity – particularly moral adversity – so that the spirit can shine through and make a difference. They possess an overall desire for other people’s well-being. Enneagram 1w9s are committed to changing the world and whatever is wrong in it, but as they project an ideal world in their minds it can get hard for them to cope with reality as it is. They have to learn to channel their true feelings and face their vulnerabilities. This sensitivity will make them more relaxed with themselves.

Part One || The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Enneagram
Sejanus Plinth
Type One || 1w2 || 146
Tumblr media
Type One:
Sejanus is motivated by his desire for Goodness, in the moral sense. His ethical integrity is at the forefront of his personality, and is the be all and end all of all his decisions and relationships.
Ones are highly principled and decisive when dealing with moral quandaries, and they seek out a sense of purpose
Sejanus resents his father, his classmates, and the Capitol on the whole for decisions that are at odds with his own ideals, and refuses to let that go unnoticed; at all times, the most important thing for him is to stand up for what he believes is right and just.
Type Four:
Fours tend towards melancholia. They can be explosive and sensitive, especially when circumstances challenge their sense of identity.
Sejanus has a habit of self-pity, however justified it might be, and wears his emotions blatantly on his sleeve. He is not precious about being seen as flawed, but is absolute about being authentic and true to himself (and his ideals).
Type Six
Sejanus is committed to both his goals and his friends - right to the bitter end. He will only momentarily stray from his stubbornly held beliefs when cornered by Coriolanus, his closest, and perhaps only, friend.
He desires material and emotional security for himself and his loved ones, and we only see him falter when their safety and his own is compromised - when his actions backfire and he comes face to face with the chaos in his wake.
Thanks for reading! I intend on making more of these as the mood strikes me - particularly Coriolanus and Lucy Gray, and I might try my hand at the main trilogy too (as soon as I finish my reread)!
These posts solely reflect my personal interpretation of these characters based on both the books and the films, if you would type them differently, I’d love to hear your perspective!
I used the Enneagram Institute webpage for type descriptions to make my initial decisions for this post, so for more information on Enneagram types in general, I can recommend their site!

Being diabetic means having a higher cost of living.

Hi guys!! So I won't subject you to the tears that I was shedding on Snapchat (albeit happy tears), but I talked to my Medtronic rep last night about their pump and the financial concerns that I had (I've already checked out Tandem and holy shit it's expensive). He got back to me this morning after running my insurance through, and the total out-of-pocket cost WOULD HAVE BEEN nearly $2,300. But Medtronic also offers financial relief for those who fall under a certain income bracket, and since I am making less than 50k a year, 90% of my out-of-pocket cost is covered. Guys, I will only owe $240. This is such a huge win that I have no words. I've been struggling for so long. I will no longer have to deal with the terrible highs and lows, the morning/afternoon/ evening sickness, the worry of whether I have too little or too much insulin. For the first time in my life, I'm going to be able to live my life without my autoimmune disease calling the shots. For once, I'll be able to feel like a normal human being again -- something that I haven't felt like since the age of eleven.

I'm so proud of my husband! After years of listening to my complaints about a lack of Type 1 diabetic representation, he wrote an amazing middle grade fantasy book with a badass t1d protagonist! I highly recommend it for anyone who loves a good adventure!
I know it is hard to find good representation, so if you want to check it out search Legend of Samantha Torres on amazon!

Continuing...ongoing...life
I have had a lot happen to me this year and now we’re over half way through and I’m hoping to GOD that it’s all going to slow down a bit, medically anyway!
I had surgery on my eye (got a virus/went into my first DKA/triggered blood vessels and issues with my eyes, especially my right) and all went well.
Developed a hemorrhage in my right eye due to excessive coughing from my second round of COVID (sigh) and caused my vision to be blurry/foggy and was signed off work for 7 weeks (SIGH). That same day I was told the holiday which I had been desperate for had to be cancelled because they didn’t want more trauma to the eye to happen...(ARGHHH).
Returned to Southampton and they confirmed that my eye is okay and that it does happen after surgery, had another bleed but this has been contained as I had some injections in my eye (not as scary as it sounds!) and some laser treatment which has helped a lot! Another 2 injections should help. Vision is still slightly wonky but told this is normal, will take time and isn’t a concern - YAY!
The likelihood however is over the next two years I could develop cataracts and will require surgery AGAIN. 
Medically, life has been very challenging but I’m still fighting!

"people show their true colours in life threatening situations" no, they show you what they act like when they're mortally terrified, an emotion notorious for literally turning your entire brain off to the point where people who go into those situations as a profession need to be literally trained on how to not have that happen

Type one diabetes is your friends watching you inject and saying they could never do it. That’s what you thought. But you have to if you want to live. It’s not a choice.
Type one diabetes is knowing that no one else understands.

I don't normally post about having type 1 diabetes, because it's already something so prevalent in my life and something that I'm reminded I have every single day. It's tiring. If I had to describe what it's like having it, it would be like... bringing someone new back to your place, and your t1d is that roommate who is just kinda there all the time. And your new person is like, "Who is that?" And you say, "Oh, it's just my type 1 diabetes. Just pretend they aren't here." But like, you've already seen them, and it's kinda hard to pretend they aren't there when they're just... constantly looming around. So having spaces like this, where I have a choice on whether to reveal if I have it or not, makes me feel a little more normal. But things are changing a bit, and I've been struggling.
Ever since I've gotten off my parents insurance (five years ago, almost six), I haven't been using an insulin pump. I used to use Animas, which I loved. But they went out of business, and I was no longer able to get supplies through them. A new insulin pump, even with my insurance, was too expensive, and it still is very expensive. But... trying to do daily injections for food, plus my long acting insulin, plus trying to deal with blood sugar fluctuations and finger pricks all day, is becoming exhausting. I'm tired of waking up feeling sick. I'm tired of worrying whether I'm going to have highs or lows. I don't want to worry about diabetic neuropathy, or going blind, or facing many other debilitating conditions. And it isn't for lack of trying. It's just that the old way doesn't work anymore. Not having an insulin pump is... miserable. Exhausting. My A1C has been consistently floating in the 9s. I wake up almost every day feeling shitty. I'm fatigued. I sleep a lot. My stomach is always in knots. I just... can't.
I went to my doctor last week and completely broke down in her office. She handed me a box of tissues and told me she knew that it wasn't my fault, and that it wasn't for lack of trying. She even told me that if she herself had to deal with what I deal with on a daily basis, she wouldn't know if she'd be strong enough to handle it. And she told me that an insulin pump was necessary at this point, for my health and livelihood. Most of her patients have insulin pumps now, and she said that most of their complications are non-existent anymore. So, even if doing monthly payments to pay off the out-of-pocket cost might hurt a bit, in the long run, it's going to be the best option.
I talked to a Tandem insulin pump representative today. She updated my file and told me she'd get back to me with the estimated cost, and she also told me that I would only have to do $50 payments every month. Unfortunately, last time I looked into the pump, it was $1700 USD out-of-pocket, so it would take two and a half years to pay it off. However, I'd reach my deductible for the entire year, and I would avoid paying even more money for possible complications in the future by getting this pump and the supplies.
It is so, so, so incredibly difficult to deal with a pre-existing condition, especially in the USA. It's difficult to deal with a chronic illness, where every little thing affects you. What you eat, how much you do or don't eat, how much sleep you get, how much stress you go through, how much or how little you exercise, how many times you get sick and for how long you're sick for. Every facet of my life... I feel like my diabetes dictates. And I hate it. I hate having it. Sometimes it makes me wanna break down and cry. Sometimes I wanna put my fist through a wall. Sometimes I get so embarrassed having it, because I feel like everyone is looking at me. And even when I did have a pump, I always felt like it was a constant reminder that my pancreas didn't work. But... at the end of the day, I swallow it all, because I don't have a choice. I just have to deal with it, and that's really all I can do. It's do or die, and I would rather do.
It's easy to run a filtered, perfect, happy life online. It's easy to see all of the good things people post; all of the clean, pretty, prestine things. It's harder to talk about things like this -- things people don't always see. And I want people to see that, whatever they're struggling with, they aren't alone.
I'm hoping that this new journey is going to help me out. I'm hoping that it will help with a healthier mindset, and a healthier body. I hope it will help me forgive myself for all of the things I've already put my body through. I'm hoping it'll give me a brighter outlook on my future. And I hope that, even on the difficult days, that it'll make it just a little bit easier to get through than before.
P.S. my endocrinologist is a rockstar. Sometimes I get so anxious about going to my doctor appointments that I just... don't go. And I end up rescheduling. And it's because I know things aren't going well. And this last time around, she told me, "Just... show up. Even if you have nothing to report. Even if you don't end up doing things that we talked about you doing. Your only job is to show up. My job is to figure out how to help you as best as I can. It is so hard to know what's going on with you when you don't come in. So let me worry about how best to help you. Let me figure out what I need to do as a doctor to make things easier or better for you. That is what I'm paid to do. Just. Show. Up." So understanding. So loving. So gentle and caring. I almost started crying as I typed this. I am so, so lucky to have such a great doctor.

Simon Riley who gets your initials tattooed over his heart, but not in the conventional way.
The idea of getting your full name spooks him, cause what if he gets captured and some enemy agent sees? It's just too much of a risk for him. But initials are safer. Twice as much if they're hidden behind roman numerals.
So he reveals his new ink one day, during a quiet moment a few weeks after he gets it once it's healed up. He explains what the roman numerals are (they correspond to letters of the alphabet: A would be I, B is II, and so on) and what they mean, and you spend so long marveling at Simon's dedication that it takes you a minute to notice something... strange.
"There's no number for my last name."
He takes your hand, puts it over the numbers, and puts his forehead on yours.
"That's cause I'm hopin' you'll let me put the number 18 there, love."
