Today I have for you a typing that is particularly special to me. Not only is Marble Hornets my very favorite webseries ever, but it is in fact one of my favorite things to watch ever. I have to say right now, I’ve never liked horror before in my life. Why is Marble Hornets different? It’s all about personality.

“You know when I was a kid,
I would have given anything to be exactly like everybody else.”
Disney’s Hercules
“Hercules Syndrome” is the classic INFJ weakness of feeling like they’re strange and don’t belong *because* of the very thing that makes them special. INFJs with Hercules Syndrome feel like there is a universe of potential and principles just at their fingertips… and everyone else is down on the ground saying “how dare you fly.” Floating around in the aether, wishing they could come down to the ground and not be so alone, but not willing to give up what they’ve seen up there, the INFJ may believe that they can never be liked and enjoyed for who they really are and what they can offer, but at best must be merely tolerated for the “eccentric” they are.
Hercules Syndrome can be a factor whether or not the INFJ has learned how to use their strength correctly. If they have not yet, you can expect awkward moments and embarrassment about said strength. If they have developed their strengths, it’s usually through years of training, but without their Hercules Syndrome in check, the INFJ is likely to feel guilty for having their strength at all, even though they’ve had to double their effort to develop it *in spite* of guilt all that time.
Examples:
Hiccup, How to Train Your Dragon
Avatar Aang, Avatar: The Last Airbender
Rapunzel, Tangled
and so many more…

Androids, computers, robots; call them what you will, they’re all A.I., artificial intelligence. Though the messages their stories tell may vary, throughout the years bots have won our hearts, made us laugh, made us think and freaked the crap out of us. Their quest to be a little more human represents humanity’s quest to be even more than that. This is a salute to both A.I. and humanity in all its varied hues.

Who are we deep inside? Well, there are several answers to this question, some that delve far deeper than others. I’m not going to share some of the deeper answers I know, for experience has enhanced my natural talent for individual cynicism. If you’d like to know more about *those* answers, inquire within.
But as far as what each of us has within in regards to our personality types; is all of us what lies on the surface? If you Google your own four letters and see posters with limericks and characters mistyped by stereotype, is that all there is to know about you? Who comes out in the times that you’re angry, sad or with your best friend? Who is there to know that the world doesn’t see?

INFJ
The Paladin
“A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship…but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!!”
Aragorn, The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King Film
The INFJ Paladin is heroic to the core. They have an incredible sense of scope and justice and desire above all to show others through example how to be heroic themselves (as quite aptly put here). They go on their own unique quests through life, hoping to inspire others to do the same. They long to be heroic, but usually don’t believe that they’re anything special, so they believe and preach that anyone can be heroic.

Let me introduce to you the most archetypal tale that has been played throughout the ages; a sweeping epic with sixteen protagonists; sixteen larger-than-life heroes that are each unique in purpose, style, thought and action and, like old friends, we would feel incomplete without any one. Each has their own treacherous journey to travail as they endeavor to stay true to themselves and not be overcome by the choices and obstacles that get in their way.

INFJ
“I have often dreamed of a far off place,
where a great warm welcome will be waiting for me
and the crowds will cheer when they see my face and the voice keeps saying,
‘This is where I’m meant to be.'”
“I want to become a hero, a true hero.”
