looking through the lens of character strengths

Coming back the idea about looking at GG's and DD's personalities through the lens of character strengths, I am thinking that both of them have many character strengths highly developed, in comparison to the people we are more accustomed to encounter. If I look at both of them, indeed, it feels like all 24 character strengths are present to a high degree; some more prominent in one, and some in the other, and many in both.

Signature strengths are those without which a person would not be themselves. So I will make an educated guess about which strengths are signature strengths for each of them. I don't think, of course, that I know them well enough, so this is more like an evaluation/analysis of my perception/ projection, than of real people.

I think they learn a lot from each other, and each of them eventually develops the strengths that are more prominent in the other.

DD:

zest/ vitality/ embodied spirit of adventure;

self-regulation/ self-control;

honesty/ integrity;

appreciation of beauty and mastery;

kindness;

curiosity;

courage;

hope/ optimism;

teamwork;

persistence;

humility;

love;

love of learning;

critical thinking;

forgiveness;

fairness/ justice

GG:

social intelligence;

curiosity;

appreciation of beauty and mastery;

prudence;

leadership;

kindness;

creativity;

love;

persistence;

hope/optimism;

love of learning;

wisdom;

critical thinking;

sense of humour/ playfulness;

teamwork;

spirituality

Usually a person has 3-7 signature strengths, and here I had to force myself to stop at 16, and maybe I shouldn't have, maybe all 24 strengths should be listed for each of them as signature strengths.

I will just. Riku being VISIBLY and AUDIBLY soft for sora is what dragged me into this fandom and it's what'll keep me here

Just the way riku looks at sora when they reunite in kh1, the way riku talks to namine in re:com, the way he says sora's name in ddd, everything— just his AFFECTION for sora constantly being reinforced , it GETS to me

It's like he's baring his heart without realizing and it GETS to me

He's killing me, actually

#soriku #soriku spam #u know sometimes i just get like this #i am once again in my soriku feels #like he's so soft but he's so loud about it #it HURTS me actually #it's so EARNEST #his love for sora is so EARNEST #GUH #champion the ones you love #do itttt #he's so steadfast in his emotions #it's fucking inspiring #awe inspiring #guh #im fuckin ded #ded ded #fucking riku man #the soriku brain rot is real

A duck walked up to a lemonade stand And he said to the man runnin' the stand "Hey! [(bam bam bam)] Got any grapes?" The man said: "No, we just sell lemonade But it's cold, and it's fresh, and it's all home-made! Can I get you a glass?" The duck said, "I'll pass." Then he waddled away - waddle waddle 'Til the very next day "Bom bom bom bom bom babom" When the duck walked up to the lemonade stand And he said to the man runnin' the stand Hey!

Throwback to that time a very dear friend begun watching Star Trek The Original Series for the first time. They immediately fell for Kirk and Spock.

Spoiler alert: They’re a Trekkie now.

Another one bites the dust.

(Also nobody can love Kirk and Spock more than Kirk and Spock. Right guys?)

(Right.)

It’s sort of weird….

Having a documentary you desperately want to share with others…

And have to be so careful of the “spoilers” when you try to hype it.

I mean. Spoilers. In a documentary.

But the raw effect of the latest Defunctland doc on the Disney Channel “theme” - four notes, not even played consistently…

Like, that Act 3 drop is just….

You can’t deny people the blind experience.

Just. Wow.

What a world.

Spoilers for a documentary.

I love it.

witnessing resonance, part 3: holding on to what's important

what do I mean when I call myself a witness of resonance? continuing from here and here

and the third layer of meaning of witnessing, the last one for me (so far?)

here I am going to dare to go out on a limb and give words to some experiences that in the modern world often seem to be much more taboo for discussion than the experiences of kinky sexuality (but I don’t have data, so maybe I am wrong :))

I am going to talk about witnessing something precious as a

personal non-religious spiritual practice in a secular world

I need to make a disclaimer that I do not assume that participating in any fandom or in this particular fandom may have such meaning for other participants, I am talking only about myself, using writing to make sense of my own experience

because not talking about it is subjecting myself to silencing as a form of self-oppression, and for the sake of what? I would need a valid reason to self-silence

anyway, back to definitions

I would call “spiritual” any practice of maintaining connection with the important values and principles that are not obvious and not very common in the everyday world

say, I want to believe in love that goes beyond distance, or in going strong against the current when it would be so much easier, in a certain practical sense, to give up and just drift along, or in justice and nobility, in human decency, mercy and empathy, — and, say, I don’t see many examples of these in my everyday surroundings, especially when I read the news

I would need special practices to keep re-connecting with these values that are so important to me

I consider the situation when people lose hope, perspective, sense of direction, persistence, and strength to go on, to be a spiritual crisis. “the dark night of the soul”

this can be also accompanied by a feeling of profound isolation

the practices of re-connecting with hope, perspective, sense of direction, persistence and strength to go on I will be calling spiritual practices. they are also recreating a sense of connection and belonging

as Casper ter Kuile says in “The Power of Ritual”, anything can be a spiritual practice if it is done with intention, attention and repetition

everybody is capable of feeling awe, the emotion that accompanies meeting with something vast and mysterious, unconceivable in ordinary circumstances (“…how are you even real, sir?..”)

when I come to the turtledom for my daily dose of beauty, inspiration and awe, I experience some sort of a boost that helps me reconnect to the values that are important to me, and I become more capable of continuing to do what I consider important in circumstances that, from a rational perspective, do not look too promising

…if they can, I can, right?.. albeit, of course, I possess less resources, but neither do I aim that high nor are the demands on me that intense.

so, now to the Quakers. when George Fox formulated their mission in the 1600s, it sounded like this: “Walking through the world cheerfully, responding to that of God in every person in such a way that the person will feel blessed and you will feel the blessings”.

One of the central values (they call them testimonies) of the Quakers is honesty/ integrity: you have the right / and sometimes the duty to speak about what is true in your experience. If you met God personally in your experience, you speak of it, if you didn’t, you don’t. Easy :) Thus one can be a Quaker, but not a Christian (albeit here can be different opinions, but we’ll set them aside).

but “that of God in every person” is something that we respond to with awe; amazing talent, giftedness, moral beauty in all its forms: courage, kindness, mercy, steadfastness etc.

when I say that as a turtle I am witnessing something precious, it means that I also speak of what I see that is for me “that of God”, without implying any religious connotations

what touches and inspires me today? how can I witness/ testify about it in such a way that it might also touch and inspire others and give them hope and strength to persevere? and in such a way that I would feel (the energy of) the blessings?

bringing together all three layers of meaning, what touches me most in what I experience when I follow yizhan’s expressions of their preferred identities, is what I interpret as something intangible and related to maintaining hope and persistence when the road ahead is long, and the outcome uncertain; the feeling of purity and “dirt doesn’t stick to the pure ones”; something that makes me think of magic, mysticism and out-of-the-ordinary-world quality of the connection.

I am aware that it is my personal need for this that focuses my attention in this manner

but I am very grateful that at this moment in my life I found something that feeds and supports me in such a way

Got to swim in the ocean for the first time in my life, off of the coast of Delaware.

The waves, the hot sand, the white crest breaking against the shore.

It was inspiring. Magnificent.

I never really understood the truly awesome power of the ocean, but now I have even more respect for Mother Nature and the people who brave those seas.
