Nicknames

  • Changeling Shapeshifter

  • The Glass Slipper

  • Pod Squad

  • Counter-Fit Check

  • Clubhouse

  • Mirror Mask

  • Mall of America

the vibe

  • they can be whatever you want, baby

  • pliable, moldable, adaptable - if it’s trendy they’re on it (whether that’s mainstream or a niche subculture)

  • the “american dream,” or at least part of the fabric of a shared, aspirational cultural hallucination

  • clubhouse vibes - they’ve created a hive, they have a gang of besties, they’re stronger together - don’t fvck with their thang or you’ll be thrown shade + excluded

  • we’re on the same page, but have different fonts, colours, playlists, fav books

🤖 structurally 🤖

  • triple “attachment” or “adaptable” = a type with a shapeshifter, fluid quality that can become what’s necessary to survive, maintain connections, woo, impress, fit in or blend in (even if they don’t feel that way inside)

  • “reactive” head center = a need for “truth” (which is subjective, in many ways) with triple attachment that means there is a greater desire for “consensus” within their close network

  • “assertive” heart center = wanting to be viewed as valuable, bringing it, being the best (3 core), or the “best” without ruffling feathers (9, 6)

  • “withdrawn” gut center = can be prone to losing themselves in others, feeling overwhelmed with others needs or obligations which leads to pulling accidental disappearing acts or passive aggression

  • structurally, they’re keyed into others emotions, thoughts, identities, boundaries and this manifests as auto-compromising, meeting others where theyr’e at, and then expecting others to also meet their needs (spoken or unspoken) in return - which is why they can clash with types with a lot of hexad in their archetype (1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8). this type can feel erased, ignored or used by others when they’re not met in this way.

more than ANY other type combination this one externally has the most variety because it adapts to its environment like a chameleon. they’re shapeshifters, they mold to the oven they’re cooked in - their culture, religion, family values, friend group, coworkers/job, ethnicity, sexuality - it all becomes a label, a badge, an unconscious and conscious signifier of where they belong or fit into the map of the reality and this signals to other members of their “tribe” (or people who are in the opposite “tribe”) their beliefs/values. even social last 369's will still be hooked into the external grid and playing this game, whether they’re aware of it or not. they’re just serving up a more dangerous/sexy, vaguely off-putting version.

because everything i described is the personality type (the pattern a person gets stuck in, a coping strategy to be “safe”) it doesn’t necessarily mean they align with these environments internally. they often learn who they are from these experiences, interests, relationships - but then can feel afraid to fully embody that identity, to change, evolve or re-invent themselves. they’ve done what they’re told, the career/school they were told they should do, the family business, staying small to keep their friend group, over-adapting to stay relevant or desired, losing themselves to keep a partner or job – and then this culminates in a massive crash-out when they realize that’s not even what they WANT or WHO they are deep down. the cost of adapting reaches a crisis point.

Nicknames

  • Faun Star

  • Hustler Baby

  • Party Monster

  • Vagaboned

  • Dime Bag

  • Pipe Dream

  • Party Ghoul

  • Serf’s Up

the vibe

  • hedonistic seeker / escape artist

  • like to keep things posi-vibes, man

  • a surfboard with a bag of shrooms and a copy of Siddhartha

  • spiritual “self improvement”

  • part philosopher part bro/girlboss

  • buddha bowl (grass and grass)

  • barefoot ankle bracelet puka shell couture

  • palatable “conspiracy theories” - alienz are vibez, guyz - i met a reptilian and gave him a fly it was fine

  • they know where the parties, girls and best tacos are

  • make love not war

  • hippie but the kind that smells good (usually)

🤖 structurally 🤖

  • double “positive” (7, 9) = reframing situations, silver lining, keeping things high vibes (or shallow), escapist, channeling light codes

  • double “assertive” (3, 7) = doing before thinking too hard, getting after it

  • double “attachment” (3, 9) = adaptable, can shapeshift to serve desires or fit in enough to charm their way into getting what they want

  • “hexad” head center (7) = more independent or visionary thinking, impulsivity, scatteredness

  • “assertive” heart center = shining, winning, impressing, showing off

  • this combination with a “competent” or robot heart center (3), with a self-aggrandizing head center (7), and numbing/dissociative gut center (9) can make for a charming, sometimes outwardly shallow person who can move on from things with little care or concern in the name of keeping vibes high, chasing dreams and skipping out of emotional lows as quickly as possible

  • this type is the most assertive 9, the most flexible 7, the most likeable 3

this is the archetype you want to have at a party to make sure you have at least one fun person (although be careful you might catch them making out with your honey - but don’t worry, it won’t mean anything and it’ll be no big deal). you can count on this type to take you out for a good time, have an assortment of stimulants or stimulating experiences up their sleeve. they’re probably hot. look younger than they are. you might want to eff them just a little. they’re ok with that.

pitfalls for this type can be getting into cycles of doing, escaping / running away, chasing the next wave / high / hottie /opportunity and not checking in with themselves until they’re middle-aged and gambled away all their money, they’re too raggedy to score with their preferred demographic and their favourite hangout has been replaced by a plaza and all their friends are married with annoying kids and dear god here comes the devastation i’ve been running away from since i was 9 years old...

378 archetype.jpg

Nicknames

  • Mister Universe / Miss World

  • Glampire

  • Nero Worship

  • Fan Favorite

  • Apex Shredator

  • Hollywood Babylon

  • Charm Offensive

the vibe

  • fan favorite (as in, a fan of themselves)

  • hedonist libertarian (spiritually, anyway)

  • this type is a shiny steamroller, getting after it and lapping up the delights of the world with a limitless tongue

  • ultra confidence, ultra magnificence

  • conqueror but make it fashion

  • magpie with mega wingspan and razor-sharp manicured claws

  • materialism, greed, luxury, empire, stardom

  • energetically a rockstar, performer, emperor, queen, slay emoji, “don’t you know who i am!”

🤖 structurally 🤖

  • triple narcissism (self-aggrandizement)

  • triple assertive (triple go-getter)

  • triple apex predator (see, want, take)

  • triple expansion and conquest (move, b*tch)

  • triple invincible = the fantasy, vision and possibilities of 7, gut force invulnerability of 8 to make it happen yesterday and the polish, narcissism and endless motor for self-optimization + improvement of 3

  • triple provocative = especially with 3w4, 7w8, 8w7 in the tritype

  • double strategic (3, 8) = machiavellian

  • double chaos (7, 8) = risk-taking, unpredictable, pleasure seeking

  • attachment, competency in the image center (3) = self-worth in what’s impressive and valuable, what they’re skilled at

  • positive + frustration in the head center (7) = getting high off their own supply, ideas, dreams, idealistic visions and possibilities

  • reactive + rejection in the gut center = territoriality +  paranoia around patrolling what’s “theirs” (via their dominant instinct) and maintaining control and dominance

this combo is a “big me” archetype. they’re big energetically, personality-wise, they have big dreams, and big self-importance and charm. they aren’t likely to take sh*t from anyone or allow themselves to be in a subservient position (even if being a top dog hasn’t been earned yet). this combination is the epitome of ‘fake it til you make it’ - but in their mind they’re not being fake. they’re natural-born icons. they were meant to be worshipped, famous, successful and live a fabulous life (in however that manifests for them).  originality, finesse and flair on tap.
