Demo account. Horror first, horror last. Will defend The Thing to the death, which is the point.

The Provocateur
Suspicious of comfort. With a streak of The Genre Devotee.
12% of Buds. Today's reading; it moves as they rate.

Work that unsettles: bleak, open, demanding. They trust discomfort more than reassurance and rate the thing that made they argue.

Where it goes wrong: Difficulty is not depth. Sometimes the cold thing is just cold, and you rated it up for the chill.

More about the Provocateur
Avoids
Comfort, closure, and being told how to feel. Warmth on its own reads as a sales pitch.
How they rate
Your five stars go to the difficult. Your one star goes to the smooth. The middle is where you are bored.
Good company
The Formalist respects you, the Ironist enjoys you, and the Comfort Seeker is your most productive opposite.
Against the crowd
You are the reliable spicy take: harsher than the crowd on beloved warmth, kinder to the punishing and the strange.
