Wednesday DE: Something something Shakespeare psychology corporate

[angry_friendship_wolf]

So, last week, another mun introduced me to this amazingly weird corporate assessment that helps you learn your 'actor archetype', which starts off a little strange but okay and then slowly descends into corporate buzzword hell.

So let's fill it out for our characters!

Bonus question: How far would your character get through it before laughing out loud.

This other mun sounds AWFUL. Why would you inflict that on another human?????

[death_gone_mad]

Amascut couldn't answer the first question honestly. The next three were a heap of lies before she lost interest. Pity she didn't get to the death and rebirth question... that would have gotten a reaction out of her and might have inspired to finish the test out of spite.

Fairy Fixit is used to corporate goobledegook, but answered every question earnestly with "somewhat like me", making her most like a storyteller who thinks too fast for most people to follow but least like an explorer, which makes her narrow-minded? Which... ok, she gets visits from adventurer types often enough to accept that it's not the life for her.

I don't know about my characters, but I burst out laughing on question three.

[childofrebellion]

These are so weird, its like a personality test crossed with cliches and motivational posters.

[for_everyone]

well I got through it for Hera and got 'Renegade' as the most one or whatever and 'Lover' as the least one, so... yeah, sorry Kanan

[inlovewithwords]

I side-eyed question 2 and gave up at 3 with laughter. All of my characters agree with this.

[oldmancreed]

I only did this for Tess because I didn’t feel like taking it two more times.

She didn’t laugh at all, but there were several eye rolls. Her leading Actor is the Warrior and her least actor is Nurturer.

Sounds about right.

Zuko is


Most used: Warrior
Least used: Lover


Sadly, he would have taken this with utmost seriousness, though he would have made a face when "Radiance" came up in the buzzwords.

Ahsoka got Warrior/Storyteller :D

[angry_friendship_wolf]

they are so terrible. they stabbed me once.

[inlovewithwords]

Couldn't manage to get through it with a character or myself. Did a commentary-read instead.

Finally doing this, as work was nutty and internet was meh. Here we go!

Cecil: A) does not appreciate the corporate-ness of this, not at all, what the hell actually is this, take it away. B) Is a storyteller, is ANYONE surprised, and his 'most off-stage actor' is 'strategist', which... yep. Cecil, I love you, but holy crap you were left out of the planning for multiple rebellions for a reason, my dear. You work best as bait.

Jon: A) Also does not appreciate the corporate-ness of this, but more because did you see the employee handbook he had to read? Ugh. B) Jon is a Strategist, which... yep, that tracks, this thing is kinda eerie, and his 'most off-stage actor' is.... 'lover'. Which. On one hand... my dudes, he's Ace, so... on the other, he's biromantic and his love story is one of the central themes of the whole dang thing soooooooooooooooooooooooo... hmm. So I mean, if 'lover' is defined as 'Casanova' then yeah, that's... that's not what's going to happen here, not any time soon, Tim get your brain out of the gutter, but if 'lover' can be defined as 'romantic partner', then BAD sorter, no cookie for you. Or maybe it's going off of me answering as season 1 Jon and not season 5 Jon because there has been character growth aplenty so... idk. Conditional cookies, I guess.

Klaus: A) Finds this whole corporate thing hilarious. B) Klaus is... you'll never guess... a Lover! Shock! and he's definitely not a Strategist. This one I can get behind entirely. Also just realized that they define these terms on a 'next page' that I neglected up until now. Whoopsie-doodle.

Oh my God, Eric, they sound like the WORST. How do you cope?

Completed this for Molly; the second text was "The purpose of my life is to dissolve boundaries".

Molly... fully cracked up. LITERALLY TRUE!
