They lead with Feeling, often describing their emotional reactions to media as “psychic damage” or expressing “abominable amounts of joy” when interacting with others' reading updates. Finally, their Perceiving nature shows in a self-described “indecisive” personality and a chaotic approach to organization, frequently joking about having numerous “half done” projects and a struggle to follow through on reading threads.
Some pickup lines for you
- I promise I’m more reliable than your heating—come over and we can ‘method watch’ The Terror without actually getting frostbite.
- Are you James Fitzjames? Because I’ve been reading your reviews and I’m ready to give you five stars and a heartbreakingly romantic subplot.
- Forget the North West Passage—I’ve been searching for a reason to visit Edinburgh and I think I just found her.
- If we were in The Terror, I’d be the John Rae to your expedition: I’d walk 90 minutes across the ice just because you said you were ‘walkable’.
- You can keep the potato peeler away, but I’d definitely let you scran an orange with me anytime—no scurvy, just vibes.
Your 5 Emojis

Your signature cocktail
The Scurvy Dog (Fitzjames Style)
This drink is served ice-cold to honor a user who spent January “fucking method watching the terror” in a flat without heating. The Navy Strength Gin nods to their obsession with Black Sails and the Franklin Expedition, while the blood orange is “pure scranning this orange this one’s for you fitzjames” to fight off “scurvy public enemy number one”. The bitter notes reflect the heartbreak of their reading list, yet the overall vibe remains chaotic and high-energy—much like a person who wants to edit the doomed crew of the HMS Erebus to a “nickelback rockstar sea shanty.”
Your Hogwarts House
Ravenclaw
Marla’s digital footprint is defined by a profound love of learning and an almost academic obsession with niche historical and literary subjects. They demonstrate the typical Ravenclaw pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, currently spiraling into the history of the Franklin expedition by “eyeing the polar exploration nonfiction books in my flat knowing I can’t read another till I finish the fucking terror”. Beyond simple consumption, Marla displays analytical wit and creative output, frequently using their skills to “edit the terror with inappropriate songs” or obsessing over specific literary genres, as seen when they threaten to explain “why gothic epistolary novels are the best a book can be” to strangers. Their identity is anchored in intellectual curiosity, from visiting the “polar exploration exhibit in the maritime museum” to tracking a high volume of reads via Goodreads and StoryGraph.
Your movie
Your song
Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees
This track perfectly captures the user’s ironic sense of humor while hyper-fixating on the doomed Franklin expedition, where they repeatedly joke about how “let’s go die in the arctic with papa” is the ultimate vibe. The song’s upbeat tempo contrasts with the grim reality of The Terror, much like the user’s desire to edit the show to “inappropriate songs” or a “nickelback rockstar sea shanty”. Between surviving a flat with “broken heating” and joking that “depression can’t hit a moving target”, Marla embodies a chaotic, resilient energy. Ultimately, the song suits someone who finds “abominable amounts of joy” in the darkest narratives while maintaining a witty, modern perspective on survival.
