Update #5 - 26/08/12

Now that all the Jungian types are finally over with, I have a bit of trouble seeing where to continue. This was, initially, a tumblr meant to just contain all of my character development material - since the last place I used got deleted by a fucking twat. But now I have dumped all of my known material onto this tumblr, and I’m left with little else. Two things I’m going to do;

ONE. The next ground I’m going to cover will be directly out of cognitive behavioural therapy, namely, schema therapy. It tagged the link in the sidebar chronologically, since there’s an introductory post I need to make for anyone who doesn’t understand precisely what schema therapy is.

TWO. Any suggestions, or things you would like to know more about when it comes to character development, or maybe help regarding the previous, feel free to send messages. I will do everything within my power to make this as wholesome a source as I can.

Update #4 - 21/08/12

Been a very long while since I last posted, and I still have to finish the Jungian theory types, but you know what? I just haven’t felt like posting. That happens to people now and again. However, since it’s well due, I’ll finish it this month, but I’ve decided not to write the functions bit on my own, since I just don’t feel like doing that.

Additionally, I’ve decided to maybe add an advertisement side to this blog, since there isn’t a good enough blog that makes for a good masterlist of tumblr RPs. Maybe. If this is what followers want, that is. If so, please go ahead and like this post.

Update #3 - 06/07/12

So I’ve not been very forthcoming with posts, and I’m sure many of you are waiting for the Jung typology posts… Which will come, I promise. But I’m a person as any other, and I have, unfortunately, fallen to the vices of PVP gaming in the form of All-Points Bulletin.

NEXT UP (meaning, this weekend or next week, lol…)

  • The NT temperament types
  • The SP temperament types
  • The NF temperament types
  • The SJ temperament types
  • Individual cognitive function explanation (you’re going to hate me, trust me)

Update #2 - 26/06/12

In less than a week, this tumblr has gained as much as 273 followers, from then until right now. That makes me happy, because it means there are at least 273 people seeking to further develop their characters - and maybe even themselves. Do you have friends in the roleplay community? Or maybe even a writer, especially one that is just beginning? Show them this tumblr, it’ll help all of us out in the end.

I will be posting most of my things through queue, so as not to spam your dashboards, but also because it’s easier for me. I’m available for all things involving psychology - not just the things you find on here - so if you need help, even outside this tumblr (maybe you need some personal advice or insights) don’t hesitate to bother me.

In three hours, I’m going to add the Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Heavenly Virtues to the queue - the queue will post ten posts between 12AM and 12AM - with a quick note before hand. When that is done, I will finally focus myself on posting everything Jung-related as soon as I can.

Update #1 - 21/06/12

The next few things I will post will be templates you can use on your RP’s development page. I will make an extra link for this in the sidebar, but either way, expect that, either today or after this weekend - I won’t be around this weekend to post anything, as I will be in London.

These templates will pertain to basic information, a results display template for the keys2cognition test, and a display template for the enneagram, however that’s as good as done - you can easily reblog the type post and delete what doesn’t pertain to you.

After that, I will start on the personality disorders, then psychopathy, and schizophrenia - I don’t know whether anyone would be very interested in reading about how to properly portray psychosis, however, but if you do, please send me a message saying that you do want to know about it, and I will take my time writing a post about it.

Last, I will do something with Jungian functions and the MBTI types - I still need to figure out a proper way to go about this, to make it concise but while not leaving out anything important.

Any question or suggestion, feel free to put it in the ask box, as well as any requests.
