I don’t get to speak For femme, but only what I personally know of femme from the connections I have in my life. It’s got nothing to do with “femininity” and everything to do with femininity at the same time. In the same way Butch takes the man’s weapon and turns it into a shield, femmes totally rebirth femininity. Something used to confine by one segment of society is used to liberate another. And there’s no single aesthetic quality which ties it together. Every femme I know is different - the hyperfeminine fairy, the punk-goth-alternative crushing a crucifix under her boot heel, the tomboy who wields a rapier, the drawn-on hair made real and earrings that scream love, the dripping in class whilst rocking a mullet. Femme goes beyond femininity to reinvent it.
And each one is golden-hearted, community-minded, thoughtful and invested and always reaching out to hold someone’s hand; for the other’s sake or for their own. It’s powerful, protective, never passive. Femme doesn’t dream of running away to a cottage in the woods, divorcing itself of responsibility, living an isolated fantasy. I see those hands and the seeds they plant and that they’d rather do it in a garden everyone can access. To hell with it if they get dirt under their fingernails.
my darling @godhater is my muse 💘

“Lights Out” Nicky/Joe Timeline
I did this a bit earlier in the fic writing process, but if anyone is curious about the Lights Out “official timeline” of how Nicky and Joe spent their first hundred years as immortals, you can find it below the cut.
- June, 1099 - Nicky and Joe first see each other from the walls of Jerusalem and both are intrigued and drawn to the person they see, hoping they’ll get a chance to encounter the other in battle. 
- July, 1099 - Nicky and Joe meet in battle, remaining outside the walls once the Crusaders break through, fighting each other until nightfall. Eventually, after killing each other 3 times, they realize they can’t get the other to stay dead and that the Crusaders have taken and burned the city of Jerusalem. Nicky urges Joe to run but prevents him from entering the city, as his mercy towards Joe does not extend towards allowing an enemy combatant back into the fray. Joe departs and heads for Ascalon to bring word of the fall of Jerusalem to the Fatimid Caliphate. 
- Late 1099-1105 - Joe and Nicky encounter one another regularly in military conflicts between the Fatimid Caliphate and the newly founded Christian Kingdoms. 
During this time, Nicky realizes that he does not die or age, and learns that his father has had a son with his second wife. He sends word back to Genova that his father’s eldest living son “Nicolo” has died in the Crusades. During this period, Nicky begins to struggle with feelings of guilt and penance over his role in the brutal sacking of Jerusalem. However, the damage is done and there’s no way to undo the conquest, so he sees it as his duty to shepherd the safety of pilgrims and to secure the Christian Kingdoms he fought to establish. 
Joe continues to fight on the losing and often disorganized Fatimid side, constantly frustrated by the loss of territory to both Christians and Seljuks, but mostly because Nicky just keeps finding him, even in unlikely places, like while Joe is spying on the Christian defenses in Jaffa while disguised as a merchant. 
That said, the two can’t forget each other and there is more than just hatred that exists between them, though they kill one another regularly whenever they meet. They have their first romantic encounter (if it can even be called that) outside Ramla while hiding from a storm that scattered both of their forces in the middle of a battle. Torn between killing each other and admitting that they both need shelter, the mood turns heated as frustrations boil over, and they kiss (and then some) for the first time while grappling in their latest fight. Startled by his own passion, Joe flees into the night back to his side. However, the pattern repeats itself over the next decades, when hatred and passion mingle and neither can get the other out of their mind. 
Their second sexual encounter is on another spying mission of Joe’s, this time in Jerusalem. His base of operations was a brothel in the city, where he hid out pretending to be a patron, figuring he’d be safe from the devout Christian knight who seemed to find him everywhere. Of course, Nicky appeared, looking for one of his fellow soldiers who was to be disciplined. 
However, Nicky surprised Joe by paying off the sex worker Joe had hired to shelter him that night, but telling Joe that it was late and as long as he left the city when the sun rose, Nicky could be merciful and allow him the comfort and safety of a bed that night. Significant looks were shared and they enjoyed their second encounter in a much more pleasant setting than their first. 
- 1105-1120 - The fighting continues. Joe and Nicky age into their 40s and 50s, gaining the military skill of experienced generals while still enjoying the fighting prowess of young men. Both see this supernatural ability as obviously a sign that it is their duty to take part in the military conflicts between their people (though the politics of the time are messy and occasionally alliances do exist between both their sides against the Turks. On these occasions they find more excuses than usual to spend their nights together even while spitting curses at each other the next day). 
When an order of monastic knights was founded known as the Knights Templar, Nicky reinvented himself for the first but not the last time to join their ranks. However, the concerns of the Christian kingdoms grew increasingly secular as time wore on, frustrating him as the politics of Jerusalem grew increasingly distant from the initial promise of the Crusades he signed up to participate in as a protector of pilgrims. 
- 1122 - Nicky and Joe speak for the first time without once drawing their swords. On the banks of a river on the day before a battle between their people, Joe realizes at age 56 that he is feeling ever more distant from the men he serves beside and that Nicky is the only peer he has who was there at Jerusalem. He and Nicky speak for an hour, getting to know each other, which marks the beginning of a tentative friendship. While their duels and mutual murder of one another do continue to take place regularly (as well as moments stolen away in each other’s beds when the occasion allows) their duels lose their initial hatred and become almost playful at times. 
- 1122-1144/1147 - The conflicts between Fatimids and Christians slow somewhat as the Seljuks rise as the more dominant regional Muslim power. Joe and Nicky begin to lose their sense of wonder at their own immortality as they age past their 50s and 60s into their 70s, feeling increasingly alienated from their fellow soldiers as the political landscape shifts and the causes they initially fought for begin to warp beyond recognition as a new generation rises. 
It becomes increasingly difficult for them to feel connected to the urgency of the fight, as the Christian kingdoms adapt to the area and begin to be absorbed politically into the conflicts of the Levant region, no longer an ideological enemy but simply another force. Their sense of isolation is exacerbated by their independent realizations that they need to “die” and reinvent themselves every decade or so to hide from suspicion of their lack of aging, which cuts them off from past companions and family members and often bars them from cities and social circles they’d grown to know and love. They become one another’s only constant. 
Joe watches the rise of Imad al-Din Zengi with consternation and a trace of envy as the Fatimids wain in effectiveness and the Seljuk warlord takes up the mantel of the champion of Islam to drive the Christians from the region. Zengi eventually succeeds in recapturing the now-Christian kingdom of Edessa, prompting the Pope in Europe to call for a Second Crusade. 
Nicky, upon hearing a Second Crusade is to be called and a the cycle of violence will inevitably begin again with a new wave of clueless Europeans charging into a delicate region they don’t understand, inevitably spreading bloodshed and terror, finally gives up on the Templars and the Christian kingdoms now known as Outremer. He came to the Holy Land to protect pilgrims, not to prop up European princes at the expense of the common people. He flees into the wilderness outside Jerusalem to become a hermit, of sorts, protecting pilgrims on the road during these dangerous times, regardless of their faith, as his ultimate act of penance for his role in the brutal sacking of Jerusalem decades before.
Joe around the same time realizes he hasn’t seen Nicky in a while, begins to worry, realizes how much has changed that he does worry. Eventually he tracks Nicky down to his hermit cave and brings him home with him. Their time together as enemies ends officially and their time as friends and lovers begins, never to end.
- 1147- 1171 - While not finding Zengi terribly inspiring, Joe does find his more scholarly son Nur ad-Din a more palatable leader and joins his side as a soldier the next time he needs to “die” and reinvent himself. Nicky, however, abstains from the fighting except as a freelance guard to protect pilgrims. While he has disavowed the politics of the Crusader states, he is not yet at the point of fully turning on them to join the other side. 
- 1171-1193 - Fighting for Nur al-Din brings Joe into contact Salah ad-Din (Saladin) who he and eventually Nicky find to be the sort of inspiring leader they’ve been looking for. Nicky and Joe partake in the Third Crusade and the “Fall of Jerusalem”, this time in Nicky’s case from the other side as he becomes a vassal of Saladin’s alongside Joe. However, the brief spark of Saladin’s leadership is the last gasp of their emotional investment of what feels like an endless conflict in the Holy Land that bears little resemblance to the war they first fought in on opposite sides. (Little do they know, this is only the Third of what will be more than Seven Crusades.) 
After Saladin’s death from illness in 1193, they lose their last connection to the region and are too heartsick to continue the fight. They travel to Genova to make Nicky’s peace with a homeland he hasn’t seen in almost a century, then pass through Al-Andalus and then decide to try to find the women in their dreams who are currently moving west, shadowing a great horde of horse-riding warriors (the Mongol Invasion). Nicky and Joe in the mid 13th century end up in Baghdad, where they eventually encounter Andy and Quynh when the Mongol army arrives there and the city falls. 
Sooo.... as you can see, there’s a lot there @_@ some of it is very sketchy and back of the envelope, I steer clear a bit from Joe’s side because the Fatimids are a bit hard to trace in this era (they keep getting conflated with the Seljuks, who were also their enemies, so I’m hesitant to say exactly when and if Joe would develop sympathy for or join the Seljuk side. It was a messy time, politically). I’m interested in doing some sort of 5+1 E-rated fic about some of their first encounters eventually. But in the meantime, this is the timeline I’ve worked out with my VERY amateur scholarship.

SKAM Characters as Myers-Briggs personality types
I have tried to see the characters in Skam as MB personality types. Note: This is just for fun. It`s my own subjective speculations, I might be wrong, and I will be thrilled if you have input.
Thinker (INTP): Isak
I believe that Isak has an INTP personality. Isak seems to be introverted, intuitive, thinking, and perceiving, and a “thinker”. He has a bright and curious mind that is always mulling over possibilities, theories, and what-ifs (like altarnate universes). 
Tumblr media
INTPs like Isak aren’t the most forthcoming individuals where feelings are concerned. Isak may seem somewhat out of reach unless the subject of conversation drifts into a realm in which he has an interest. He can become very passionate about subjects that he find fascinating, and can talk for hours about his ideas on such topics. A person like him is most likely to have a small group of friends. Although he sometimes may appear to be day dreaming, he will pay close attention if he hears details that perk his analytical instincts. 
Isak is a laid back personality that is happy to let things slide. However, he may be roused into a clever and impassioned defense against statements that he feels are wholly incorrect or that he feels strongly about. HIs enthusiasm may also shine when he get the opportunity to work his problem solving skills. Mundane everyday activities make INTPs like Isak bored and unhappy. 
Although INTPs are flexible and relaxed, they often appear shy or reluctant to meet someone new. When a “thinker” like Isak does find someone worth divulging their true self to, he will do so slowly but earnestly. He can be a very straight-forward, honest lover, with a love that is quite pure in its simple, uncomplicated nature. Although they choose to keep things straight-forward in their relationships, this does not mean that the INTP is lacking in depth of feeling or passion. The INTP is very creative person, who has vivid imaginations. They can be very excitable and passionate about their love relationships. Sexually, the INTP usually approaches intimacy with enthusiasm and excitement, but may not express his own feelings often or well. . 
Ideally, this thinkers will be happiest in a relationship that allows them to retain independence. The two most compatible personality types for INTPs are the ENTJ (extraverted, intuitive, thinking, judging), like Vilde (!) and ENFJ (extraverted, intuitive, feeling, judging), like Eva and Even. These extravert personalities seem more capable of sensing their partner’s need for freedom and space. Yeay! Even and Isak are a match! 
Excecutive (ENTJ): Vilde
“Executives” like Vilde often thrive in work environments and are likely to climb the corporate ladder very easily (I am not sure if this type fits Vilde 100 %, but it was the best I could find). Being an extraverted thinker, this kind of individual has no problem discovering what needs to be done and then delegating tasks for others to carry out. To outsiders, ENTJs like Vilde can seem blunt and bossy, but this usually stems from their certainty about a solution and the steps necessary to make it come to fruition. 
Tumblr media
These individuals are extraverts, and are very good about mapping long-term goals for the future. “Executives” take relationships very seriously and are committed, loyal partners. This extravert with an underlying intuitive nature will have no problem sharing ideas, goals, and certain personal aspects in the very early stage of dating.  ENTJs want their home to be beautiful, well-furnished, and efficiently run.
The direct nature of ENTJ can be very refreshing in a relationship, especially for an introverted personality. They don’t want to waste their time with an individual who clearly would be unsuitable for them. ENTJs crave growth and forward movement which is why these two aspects must be present in a long term romantic relationship. The “executive” will always look for ways to redefine the relationship in order to achieve the next stage of relationship evolution. Sexually, the ENTJ is robust, imaginative and enthusiastic. Their natural instinct to lead will be apparent in this arena as well as other areas of life, and they will lead their partner on creative lovemaking adventures, where the focus is on mutual learning and affection sharing.
INTP (introverted, intuitive, thinking, perceiving) personalities , like Isak (!) and INFP (introverted, intuitive, feeling, perceiving) personalities , like Jonas (!) suit the ENTJ very well.
Visionary, debater (ENTP):  Eskild
The ENTP is referred to as the “visionary”, and  has an impulsive nature. The ENTP, like Eskild, is primarily driven by an extraverted intuition which means that they are intrigued by what goes on in their environment and will likely base their opinions and actions on feelings rather than an internal, logical thought process. These individuals tend to excel in academics, politics, and business.
Tumblr media
Although generally laid-back in nature, easy to talk to, and often possessed of a great sense of humor, ENTP characters can also come off as argumentative. Some ENTPs will have several plans and ideas going on at once and although the plans may be sound, this kind of person will often lack the determination to put their ideas into action. One such individual may be wonderful at creating concepts and might even get started on implementing a project, but will eventually lose interest in the “work” before it is complete. 
For all of Eskild`s ability to quickly absorb information from his surroundings, he may inadvertently hurt others’ feelings, fail to truly listen to others, and may come across as aggressive in some situations.
The “visionary” is a learner and an idea-driven individual who is always looking for ways to improve a relationship. This doesn’t necessarily mean that all ENTPs are going to be looking for crazy ways to spice things up, but they are going to be looking for new experiences to share with their companion. 
The ENTP character has the potential to get along with several personalities, such as the ESFJ (extraverted, sensing, feeling, judging), ENFJ (extraverted, intuitive, feeling, judging), like Eva and Even, and ISFJ (introverted, sensing, feeling, judging); but the most compatible personalities for the ENTP are INTJ (introverted, intuitive, thinking, judging) and INFJ (introverted, intuitive, feeling, judging). 
Protector (INFJ): Sana 
INFJ is a rare but intriguing personality to come across. The nickname for this type of disposition is “The Protector.” Being an observant and compassionate soul, individuals with this kind of persona will go to great lengths to avoid hurting or upsetting others and are very protective of those they care about. 
Tumblr media
Sana is sensitive, perceptive, and highly likely to stick with a gut instinct about a person or situation; and their instincts are usually right. She will be less likely to offer up her own feelings and may be accused of “holding back” in her relationships, primarily romantic ones.
An INFJ is so used to relying on his or her own instincts (using the “I’m always right” justification) that they may have a tendency to dismiss others’ opinions, sometimes even before they have a chance to listen to the other party. Example: Biology class, yeah?! A “protector” like Sana can be controlling in that he or she takes to planning and organizing well in advance and will often make decisions single-handedly. This stubborn character will frequently reassess the priorities in their life to ensure that they live up to their full potential, though rarely will they feel as though they have achieved this high goal. 
There are four personalities that seem to get along best in INFJ relationships. One such personality is the ENFP (extravert, intuitive, feeling, and perceiving), like Magnus. ENTP (extravert, intuitive, thinking, perceiving), like Eskild, is another personality type that gets along well with the INFJ for the same reasons. INTJ (introvert, intuitive, thinking, judging) displays many of the primary personality traits as the INFJ and will likely be more understanding and accepting of an INFJ’s “ways.” By the same logic, the fourth most suitable personality type is another INFJ. 
Idealist (INFP): Jonas
The INFP, or “Idealist,” like Jonas, is a character that has a very active imagination. They tend to not only see the best in the people around them, but they may also be led to imagining characteristics and motives in others that simply aren’t there. Much like the INFJ, INFPs really dislike conflict and will go to great lengths to avoid an argument and see that everyone is happy.
Tumblr media
"Idealists” can be very laid-back and intuitive of those around them. Generally thoughtful and considerate, INFPs are good listeners and put people at ease. Although they may be reserved in expressing emotion, they have a very deep well of caring and are genuinely interested in understanding people. This sincerity is sensed by others, making the INFP a valued friend and confidante. 
INFPs do not like conflict, and go to great lengths to avoid it. This trait sometimes makes them appear irrational and illogical in conflict situations. On the other hand, INFPs make very good mediators, and are typically good at solving other people's conflicts, because they intuitively understand people's perspectives and feelings, and genuinely want to help them.
INFPs have very high standards and are perfectionists. Consequently, they are usually hard on themselves, and don't give themselves enough credit. In a relationship, this persona will be looking for inspiration, stimulation, and passion. Sexually, the INFP is likely to be initially slow to open up to their mates. Once their trust has been earned, the INFP will view sexual intimacy as an opportunity for expressing their deep-seated love and affection. More than the actual sexual act, they will value giving and receiving love and sweet words. With their tendency to enjoy serving others, they may value their mates satisfaction above their own.
The “idealist” will be most happy in a relationship that always has something new and intriguing popping up. INFPs tend to get along best with other intuitive personalities such as ENFJ (extraverted, intuitive, feeling, judging), like Eva and Even, and ENTJ (extraverted, intuitive, thinking, judging), like Vilde (!). 
Giver (ENFJ): Eva, Even
ENFJs, like Eva and Even, are very tuned in to what others are feeling and they genuinely want those they care about to be happy. “Givers” have a genuine need to entertain and indulge others because they enjoy the sense of acceptance that comes from their actions. “Givers” have a highly sensitive ability to pick up on what another individual is feeling and can usually get a person to open up with ease. This need to be loved and accepted by others can go so deeply that an ENFJ may even drift into chameleon mode where he or she senses the moods and motives of others and imitates them.   
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This type of personality is more likely to overlook whether social actions are right or wrong because they become so consumed with social normalcies and expectations and are driven by the desire to be accepted by others. This fits Eva, but not reallly Even. On the other hand, ENFJs may become so desperate for approval from others that they may behave oddly or outside of the realm of social regularity. This may be portrayed as saying or doing something in public or around strangers that most people would consider inappropriate.
ENFJ individuals are outgoing and will never cease to inspire and entertain a partner. They're totally dedicated to the relationship, and to their partner, and have a special skill for warmth and affirmation which brings out the best in their mates. They take their commitments seriously, and are likely to put forth a lot of effort into making a relationship work once they have commited themselves to it.  Sexually, the ENFJ looks forward to intimacy as an opportunity to express love and caring. The ENFJ is generally very interested in the happiness and satisfaction of their partner. Because they achieve much of their personal satisfaction from making others happy, they're likely to be skilled lovers.
As this type of personality thrives in a social atmosphere, “givers” are happiest with individuals who are comfortable having a large social circle. The “giver’s” need to make others happy and to “do what’s best” can kick into overdrive and become smothering. A companion would need to be bold and speak up when their ENFJ partner becomes overprotective or oppressive. The personalities that seem most compatible with the ENFJ are the INFP (introverted, intuitive, feeling, perceiving) and INTP (introverted, intuitive, thinking, perceiving). 
Inspirer (ENFP):  Magnus
I`m a bit uncertain if Even rather is an ENFP than an ENFJ. But I`m quite sure that Magnus is an ENFP. ENFP individuals are considered to be one of the most varied and adaptable types of characters and are typically referred to as “inspirers.” An ENFP is open-minded and enthusiastic yet the intuitive portion of the personality allows the individual to be thoughtful and insightful.  “Inspirers” are multi-talented and, to outsiders, seem to be good at everything. This is likely due to this character’s passionate and enthusiastic nature which can be contagious to those around them.
Tumblr media
ENFPs have a strong need to be liked by others and can sometimes act corny in an effort to be liked. This type of individual may have an excellent sense of humor which, as an extravert, will only encourage others to like them even more. This extravert is an excellent talker and has a knack for getting others to open up. Boredom can drive this persona to act more impulsive than usual which could land him or her into trouble. Many individuals with this personality are not happy with the bog-standard life of a routine job and uneventful home life. In order for this sort of individual to really excel at a task, they have to have an interest in what they are doing; in which case they can perform very well with little or no supervision. 
This personality truly loves life and treats each day as a gift to be treasured. Such an outlook can be both helpful and detrimental in a relationship. Some ENFPs may have a problem leaving bad relationships. ENFP relationships must have excitement, newness, and even some surprises in order to prevent the “inspirer” from becoming bored. They may be in the habit of constantly asking their partner how they're doing, what they're feeling, etc. This behavior may be a bit smothering, but it also supports a strong awareness of the health (or illness) of the relationship.
Sexually, The ENFP is creative, perfectionistic, playful and affectionate. Their rich fantasy world makes them fun and creative lovers, who usually have new ideas up their sleeves. They whole-heartedly embrace the opportunity for closeness with their mates, believing sexual intimacy to be a positive, fun way to express how much you love each other.
The most compatible partners tend to be INFJs (introverted, intuitive, feeling, judging) and INTJs (introverted, intuitive, thinking, perceiving).
Duty Fulfiller (ISTJ): Noora
The ISTJ is often viewed as a serious and reserved individual. Although not exactly shy, this kind of individual may certainly appear so around strangers. “Duty fulfillers” like Noora are peace-loving individuals and will go to great lengths to avoid confrontation. These individuals crave security and are always looking for ways to make their lives more dependable and solid. These types of people are also great organizers and often succeed at any task that they set out to tackle.
Tumblr media
"Duty Fulllfillers” suffers from the classic struggle of recognizing their own feelings and will find even more difficulty conveying their feelings to others. That being said, ISTJs can “relax” a bit more around those that they really care about and can learn to overcome habitual obstacles in order to have a healthy and successful relationship.
ISTJ relationships often start out very conservative. “Duty fulfillers” aren’t big fans of grand or mushy displays of affection and can sometimes be uncomfortable with public displays of affection, especially in the early stage of a relationship. Once they have made a commitment to a relationship, they will stick with it until the end. Sexually, the ISTJ is likely to approach intimacy from a physical perspective, rather than as a means of expressing love and affection. They usually have a problem expressing their deepest feelings, even though they may be very strongly felt.
Two personalities that can complement the ISTJ persona are the ESTP (extraverted, sensing, thinking, perceiving), like Chris and Chris (!), and ESFP (extraverted, sensing, feeling, perceiving), like Nicolai and Emma (???!!!). These extravert personalities will have more skill at gently getting under the many folds within the “duty fulfiller’s” personality. 
Mechanic (ISTP): William
At first I thought that William was extrovert, but it didn`t seem to fit. The ISTP character, like William, has a keen interest in learning how and why things work the way that they do. As a result, this personality has been nicknamed the “mechanic.” 
Tumblr media
Although the ISTP will likely seem quiet on the outside, this person may actually be a thrill-seeker at heart. Many “mechanics” are enthralled by action and will be drawn to adrenaline-pumping activities such as bungee jumping or sky diving. When a situation becomes particularly stressful or if the individual has been subjected to high stress levels for a prolonged period of time, he or she may erupt in an angry or otherwise emotional outburst. ISTPs  can also produce positive “emotional attacks” in which they become exceptionally sweet, romantic, or generous to those close to them.
“Mechanics” typically don’t go off in search of their soul mate or life-long partner. This concept entails far too much emotional investment and future-planning. Contrary to how cold this character may seem on the outside, they often do feel very intense emotions for those that they care about. ISTP can certainly succumb internally to feelings of passion and consuming love for the right companion. Unfortunately, their difficulty in showing and explaining these feelings can be a disadvantage in a relationship. Sexually, the ISTP approaches intimacy as a physical act rather than an expression of love and affection. They are earthy and sensual beings who enthusiastically experience sex with all five senses. They bring spontaneity, creativity, and enthusiasm into the bedroom, and enjoy new experiences.
A suitable mate would need to be willing to put forth their own efforts to keep the relationship fun and engaging and be open to new experiences suggested by ISTP. The most compatible personality types for ISTP are typically ESFJ (extraverted, sensing, feeling, judging) and ESTJ (extraverted, sensing, thinking, judging).
Entrepeneur (ESTP): Chris (Schistad), Chris (Berg)
It`s funny how the two “name twins” seems to have similar personalities! “Doers” like Chris and Chris primarily focus their energy on the environment around them. They use their basic senses to pull information from their surroundings and then process the data internally via a logical, objective system. This natural “people person” gets along well with others and is probably the first to strike up a conversation with a stranger.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ESTP is prone to making impulsive decisions. They often feel that the best answer is to jump in and get it over with. ESTP is definitely the type of individual who could easily fall into money trouble, especially if they have the opportunity to gamble. Spending large amounts of money (or spending money that they don’t have) can be a serious side effect of their impulsive nature. A “doer” tends to have a wonderful storyteller-like aura that can lure others into a conversation. They often have a very expressive face and may use hand gestures to help convey a description or gain a person’s attention. 
An ESTP relationship, even that which does not work out, is never boring. This personality has a great sense of humor and is virtually fearless when it comes to approaching people. Metaphorically speaking, they could charm the birds from the trees, and this gift is a wonderful tool to use in the dating field.
When part of a mutually satisfying relationship, ESTP can be very loving. A “doer” may not express his or her feelings verbally, but instead may use gift-giving as a way to express their love or affection. ISTJ (introverted, sensing, thinking, judging) and ISFJ (introverted, sensing, feeling, judging) personalities seem to get along best with a “doer.”
Other characters
Finally, here are some of the other Myers Briggs personalities, and some of the characters that I`m uncertain of. If you have some idea, or input, I will be so happy. It would be fun to have a complete list over possible personality types and matches on the Skam characters.
Entertainer (ESFP):  Nicolai, Emma
Nurturer (ISFJ): Kasper???
Consul/ caregiver (ESFJ):  Mahdi? Iben?
Guardian (ESTJ): Ingrid? 
Scientist (INTJ):  
Adventurer (ISFP):
Linn???   She`s introvert, but what else?
