are you polyamorous?
yes! though the way it works is that jame dates people, and then i (in rare cases) grow to like them through seeing them interact with jame, and through both of us interacting with jame together. they need to be at least as crazy about jame as i am...jame is an essential component here! we have to be loving jame together! right now max is the one who's gone the furthest down that flowchart (details redacted :)c ), but i'm only formally with jame right now.
i'm not open to dating—or otherwise sexually/romantically interacting with—anyone outside of that context. i have a weird experience with attraction, and very low social energy, so i don't have the inclination or the ability. i've barely even figured out how to dm people online...
also, i respect and admire my friends and mutuals who are in ficto relationships, but i'm not in any myself! i do have sincere past life beliefs that mean i might talk about being with people in the past tense, but those are different and aren't active relationships now—except for the ones who were also jame, and it's not like this is a direct continuation, because we're new people in this life. this paragraph is also the reason i took so long answering this, because i wasn't sure how to put it...if anything's confusing, feel free to ask for further clarification!
are you an intp
depends on how you interpret it! i've usually settled on istp, but i might be overcorrecting based on how a lot of people think they're in--. and once you get into the functions and “the letters actually have a strange and unintuitive connection to the actual mechanics underneath it. you fool” i start wondering if this is even a good metric for human personality.
i do think istp is still most accurate, even accounting for function-stacking and all of that, but i think mbti is best as just one of many interesting lenses to look through, or a fun system to play with.
...anyway! i'm also rcuai (maybe leaning rcoai because i sway wildly between the two poles of conscientiousness) in the big 5.
