i could, ~im a sagittarius~ this
re: pollyanna but im gonna be even more annoying for a sec
and say ~as an enfp~
as in, to be inner child led over a lifetime
is to be on the receiving end of a lot of people chastising, forcing, parentifying in response
because it has been totally normalized to abuse children
philosophically speaking, an incredible amount of the western canon is built on this premise
someone is ✨whimsical✨
and it comes across as unserious
or clearly has never been burdened by capital R Adult Reality
cos beyond the limits of imagination
a good example of this is Jessica Day (Zooey Deschanel) from New Girl
archetypal enfp
treated as a comical mess
instead of an adult leading with extroversion, intuitive, feeling, and perceiving tools

here is the question:
how would jessica day (the character on the show: new girl) have to perform as something other than herself to be taken seriously as a subject matter expert on elementary school education (her job, if im remembering correctly)
who would she have to impersonate to counteract how unseriously people would perceive her if she was simply herself
her way of being does not inspire confidence or respect at the townhall meeting, at the car mechanic shop, in the conference room, why
what would it take? reading the entire binder on all the town zoning laws? demonstrating to the mechanic everything she knows with her hands until his mind believes it cos his eyes saw it? a conference room? that's probably gonna take someone else vouching in the hallway prior
i chose that clip cos especially what is treated as a joke
"i went up to heaven, saw my grandparents, thought it was weird i saw my grandparents"
what a joke ya know? really sacred shit during sex
ha ha funny he thinks my name is katie what a predicament
oh jess so typical
how quirky
what a big imagination
like a dumb little kid
would it have been more acceptable if she had embodied Cate Blanchett's Galadriel? exact same dialogue just entirely different tone
would nick and schmidt have been like: 😮😮
instead of: 🤣🤣
