Gosh, you're all so smart. I love reading these comments and your discussions! You're the best audience. ❤
Thanks Studios!
hi becca!
"1 min ago" (FORTH!!!!)
awww ty 6th
Thank you Ms. Parham! 💙
When she called the Vacant Head Sphere and Intellectual Head Sphere "The Twins," I immediately thought of Dipper and Mabel from Gravity Falls.
I thought she said Bacon Head Sphere
@@BariumCobaltNitrog3n haha, roblox dipper
Lmao,they truly do follow these character spheres.
Side note - They especially fit since Becca mentioned that Vacant Head Spheres aren't less intelligent than Intellectual Head Spheres, which makes sense since Mabel isn't necessarily "dumber" than Dipper.
I think their both vacant spheres, intellectual spheres have more calmer movements and facial expressions, dipper however is constantly moving and expressing.
And she has returned!
She has.

I once saw 2 people do a staring contest for so long their eyes were almost completely red and tears streaming down both of their faces
Did you/sombody elese call 911?😅
The dumbasses in my class everyday lol😂
I once stared at a kid during 6th when I was going to the bathroom, like my eyes were locked in on this guy named Paul. I walked past this kid staring at him passively aggressively(we had gotten into an argument about dogs being omnivores), needless to say I terrified this kid-
Wow, I needed this
Nice
Good
Woow 👍👍
me too
verdade
While it's practically impossible to put a real-life person into strictly one of these spheres, I do see how this can be used to help characterization in theatre. How a character walks and interacts with their environment can tell the audience a lot about them, so this makes sense in terms of acting. Real life however, no :)
I think this whole “stereotyping people based off of a few mannerisms” thing is an example of what I call the tarot card syndrome. The descriptions are so broad or vague that they could apply to everyone to some extent, just like how tarot cards seem accurate because you kind of fit into each category. I dunno, just something I noticed.
I will mostly agree with that. It's good to know how certain types of characters would walk and interact. Even then characters don't usually fit perfectly into one of these. It's better to apply which of the features from these types fit the character. I think I mostly get what you are saying and we seem to have a similar enough opinion on this
I fit perfectly with heart sphere, but when I'm sitting on a sofa, not a chair, I take up the entire sofa.
@@deetycatcat I fit perfectly into the intellectual sphere other than the fact that I do tend to move a tie around a lot when I wear one
@@deetycatcat same…!
I can 100% see the 4 character spheres as a great way to teach body language in a beginner acting class! People are complex, but characters aren't as much, and thinking of them simpler makes acting with your body much easier
I thought I knew myself reasonably well, but then I watched this video, and now I am more lost than ever before :')
e
HEYYYY, YOU WATCHED THE VIDEO BEFORE THE REACTION 😡😡😡😡😡 JKK 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“they have the ability to hold eye contact they just don’t want to”
I love that you pretty much described autism, and eye contact in one sentence
exactly- im either not looking at you to the point your second guessing if im paying attention or staring you down like i wish death apon you.....
@@mistermiss9093 yeah pretty much, there is no in between🤣
I have autism and ADHD so Yeah that fits me
yep
@@callmeaprilroseorisha404 me to but most the time it's eye contact all the way baby WO WO just so you.......I am a boy. 10 though so young including when watching bluey a (mostly) show for 4 year olds and younger.
Edit:I actually have a hard time with eye contact sooo yeah
Something about these "character spheres" actually does strike a chord. I remember learning about leading with the hips/head/chest and how sitting on different parts of a seat have something to do with character in my high school theater classes. I think we called them something different, but for the life of me I couldn't tell you what.
I actually learned something similar to this too. They called leading with your head/chest/stomach/feet. We did a bunch of walking around with this to portray different characters but I wouldn't doubt you could do with sitting too.
I was about to say something about Jungian psychology but that is a thin line to connect.
Our names are similar
Yo 🔥ruclips.net/video/rdJ9bsN7JAw/видео.html,
For real though
"its like humans are complex.. or sumthing.." "obv this is all just 4 the hIEUx" "tommyrotwot" that was the FUNNIESTTTTT part LMFAOOOOO
I think this theory is really good for getting into character or just finding the character. It’s good to give a character one so their body acting is more on point
I swear with every video-

When she said 'strut', I was like 'haha strut-o-sphere'. When she said 'the STRUT-O-SPHERE', I was like 'SHE SAID THE LINE!!!'
It was right there yet it came out of nowhere at the same time and hit me like a brick. .. the execution of that line was flawless.
I fit perfectly in the heart sphere
I’m not sure if I personally like this way of character acting. What I personally do is I go through my script and ask myself what drives my character to do certain things. Posture, sitting, and eye contact all come with these studies because you find out how your character reacts. Sometimes I will start with posture if I’m playing a background character because it helps me find their personality faster.
"They're like Sans, they start off with their strongest attack."

5:51 I literally had to keep myself from going "Now this is a story all about how my life got twisted upside down"
AND LEMME TAKE A MOMENT JUST SIT RIGHT THERE
I actually really appreciate this video. It’s really helpful for making characters :)
The spheres was also taught when I took movement classes in university, but they were called temperaments. Not so much with the thought "everyone is the emphasis of one", but "keep these four charismatics constant when playing a character and the audience won't be confused, even if you're playing multiple characters without costume change".
Kinda like how stage makeup is really exaggerated and over-the-top-looking up-close so that it reads well for the audience. I dig it.
Reminds me of the four humors.
Cracked did an After Hours video on it years ago, looking it up its also referred to as "temperaments", probably why your comment reminded me of it.

“Vacant head spheres can hold eye contact, they just don’t wanna. It’s like their brain is multitasking.”
Ah yes. My ADHD diagnosis is finally good for something.

@@cmdraftbrn The average brain is like a Honda Civic. Easy to steer, can speed up and slow down at will, and overall pleasant.
My brain is a formula one car with the breaks of tricycle, and the only way it stops is if it slams into a wall.
To keep the car analogy going, my autistic brain fells like driving on specialized sand tires. If you're driving through open dunes it's great, but highway driving will wear them out fast.
@@lackingcreativevalue My brain is a Honda Civic, but the steering has gone off the rails and no longer functions.
My ADHD self got called out with the vacant sphere description.
"With their powers combined, they make up a school of magic and constantly flex on each other." Got me laughing
This is the first video of yours that I watch, and I already like the fact that we both play the same games lmao
Sounds like your theater teacher was combining general movement theory with Myers-Briggs for nonverbal behavior and probably thought she was the leading theater genius for the thought when it's really just an extension of physical acting.

My acting teacher had something similar to this. The difference was she had us take a test that would determine what we were. I got exactly 25% in each of the 4 categories.
You are in the yes sphere
@@wilh3lmmusic and i wont sphere
so you are the chosen sphere
You are 100 % no, I will not pick. I will be equally all, sphere
The legendary SUS sphere ‘seriously unique spherist’ (sphere-ist)😊
You can feel the density of the anger when she says “this sphere is the only sphere that sits in a chair like a normal person” while describing the heart sphere
yeah,but if you think about it they are not 'normal' cause they are cartoon characters LOL :3
When i make eye contact then it's intellectual sphere, but everybody always has the 3:55 reaction so i just break eye contact immediately because it's too awkward.
i love videos, that i cant last a day with out watching your vids
I feel like the spheres thing is good for writing fictional characters, specifically fantasy / cartoon characters. It adds extra personality to their actions while not being extremely complicated
It feels like something more fitting for visual media though
I could definitely see this working if you wanted to decide how a character your playing would physically act or take up space. Obviously doesn’t work for real people but would work well when deciding how to act as a certain character
agree, same for the myers brigg personality test, it's flawed, but it can make for a good basis for a fictional character.
Yo 🔥ruclips.net/video/rdJ9bsN7JAw/видео.html,
I see this more for animation vs theater. Nonverbal storytelling is HUGE in film and tv and animation and live action. Being able to speak with your body language is important. We do it all the time even if subconsciously. And animation is able to manipulate that in ways live action just isn't able to if that makes sense lol. Feels weird to say since IN LIFE we do a lot of subconscious talking through body language, but animation just amps that up a bit. Yet keeps it subtle too. You could watch a scene in Arcane or Lion King on mute and still get the gist of what's going on emotionally through a characters body language.
Mhm
THE TEACHER ALWAYS COMES BACK
THANK YOU for th fidget necklace tip!!!!!! I didn't know, and this will be life-changing for me. In small, subtle ways, but life-changing nonetheless. Not an exaggeration. I want you to know that I will always credit you and this video for this. Truly and sincerely, thank you.
Actually, splitting personalities into four groups is has a long history. There's the classical temperaments, Keirsey's temperaments, Socionics quadras, etc. Even MBTI could be considered four groups of four. It's a pretty common pattern in personality typing.
Notably, psychologists never seem to like systems like that.
Ninja turtles is my favorite way to explain this phenomenon
After seeing this every trait for me is will sphere lol
Interesting!
Even though Medusa's logic was bogus about this characterisation, I personally feel like it could be useful on either writing or character-creating. Cause I most certainly am going to use it!
Yo 🔥ruclips.net/video/rdJ9bsN7JAw/видео.html,
Eh, as someone who has done some writing and has created a lot of characters for Dungeons & Dragons (tm) (Yes, it's the ampersand and not the word "and"), I prefer create their Core Wound, Want, and Need, and then flesh them out based on that. Makes for much more interesting characters because flawed people are more fun to watch than those who have their shit together. The RUclips channel Film Courage has several excellent videos on the topic.
The idea is that everyone has some sort of Core Wound or flaw that keeps them from being whole and happy. It can be something external (like the loss of a loved one) or internal (like having a phobia or being insecure). The details don't matter as much at this stage, as all of that can be fleshed out after the Wound/Want/Need is established. And they could have been previously a full and happy person.
The next thing is the Want. This is what the person with the Core Wound thinks will heal that wound and make them healthy and whole again. Also, it's THE EXACT OPPOSITE of what will fix the character. Examples of Wants would be taking vengeance upon the person who murdered a love one or spending all of one's wealth to build a crazy house to appeal to the spirits of those who died at the hands of the device which made your family wealthy. (It's a thing, check out the Winchester Mansion.)
The final thing is the Need. This is what really will really help to heal that Core Wound. For instance, if a person's core wound is they were recently dumped or divorced, their Want might be to try to get that person back and have everything go back to the way is was before. The Need will be along the lines of realizing that the relationship was toxic and never going to work out. Wants blind characters to their Needs. In this example, because the character is chasing their old love interest (and making everyone, including themselves, miserable in the process), they're blinded from seeing the person they really should be with. And until they realize their true Need of realizing how bad that relationship was, they'll never see the person they're supposed to be with. (By the way, this is the EXACT PLOT of a lot of RomCom movies, including 500 Days of Summer.)
Once you've identified a character's Coue Wound/Want/Need, then you can start fleshing them out. Start with asking questions like "how did the character acquire the Core Wound", "how does the trauma of the Core Wound manifests itself", and "How did this change the character from before they had the Core Wound?" This will answer so many questions about the character in question, like "Do they have a nervous tick? (Fidgety Hands)" or "Does their posture reflect an aggressive or defensive stance (Posture and Walk)?" This is much better than those four, old Myers-Briggs Type Indicator rip-offs.
Writing more than character. It's a good way to communicate character through word choice.
I agree, I think I it’s actually a good starting off point and then you start to work around those confines, especially if you more attribute things to mood, this character feels more heart sphere right now, and yet she’s an intellectual sphere when she’s at work
I think she confused creative writing for theatre.
We actually need a quiz for this
I love this theory. I've had so much fun determining the spheres of my friends and family lol. I'm half Intellectual (Walking and Eye Contact) and half Heart (Sitting and Gestures)
Although we never used spheres to generalize traites, in my acting courses we always discussed how you can build characters starting with strong body language. How different walks can suggest different archetypes and how just changing what body part you lead with can change a character. The ability to quickly create strong characteristic body language was an especially important skill when I was in improv.

@@loturzelrestaurant Listen, dude: Go ask on a subreddit or something. What you’ve just said has nothing to do with the subject at hand and it’s quite rude to interrupt like this.
@@loturzelrestaurant I’m reporting you for spam.
That’s pretty cool, I like that.
My teacher had a similar thing she taught us but I don't think it was called a sphere? It was something to do with what part of your body you lead from and how it described your personality, although the chest was for confidence and the stomach was the more happy/lovable teddy bear type person and the hips were for the more flirtatious bunch
My traits change, for example, sometimes I don't feel like holding eye contact, but other times, I can be the most intent or empathetic person you'll ever meet
7:43 No that description is spot on
The Twins just described my life and my bro
So, from what I’m being taught.
Vacant head spheres have ADHD.
Intellectual head spheres are teachers pets.
Heart spheres are our aunts when they come for a visit.
And will spheres are basically ninth graders.
I would love to see a show with all these head spears together.
I was looking for a comment to mention the yellow one having ADHD
im sorry to be that guy but you spelt it spear like the weapon instead of sphere
@@aidanwilliams1046don’t worry, problem solved.
Lol Autism in my case for Empty Head
oh, then that means im a vacant head sphere
A little late but I just wanted to say that vacant head spheres sound exactly like most people I've met with ADHD (myself included) they can be smart but there will always be this kind of "Idk why I'm doing it but it feels like I have to," and a zone off when talking.
see i said autistic people (because yeah im probably autistic and almost all my friends are autistic and we r ALL like that) because ummmm yeah . maybe it’s just neurodivergent ppl we r holding hands in the vacant sphere ^_^
Me w/ adhd considering myself a vacant head sphere:
How- How did you know?
Boy that is so accurate I have ADHD and I will have no clue why I'm doing what I'm doing. I'll just do it anyway cuz I feel like it needs to be done then just sitting around
I fit with vacant (besides the bounce walk) and i have ADHD soooo i agree with this.
Yeah I was gonna say 😂 that just sounds like me
I definitely don't perfectly fit into any of these: I have the vacant head spheres need to walk even though I have nowhere to be, when someone is talking to me i stop and I'm doing to focus on what someones saying like the intellectual head sphere and I touch my chest a lot, I sit in the middle of the chair and i don't take up the whole couch I sit in my wittle bubble like the heart sphere. And I haven't noticed how I walk but it's so interesting to learn this part of myself! 🎉
This video was great I love it
I’ve never heard this exact theory, but one of my directors had a similar one based entirely in what body part you lead with when you walk. The categories were: Head (intelligent Spock type), Chest (bravado Gryffindor type), Stomach (chill pothead type), and Crotch (swaggering high school bully type). It doesn’t make much sense for real people, but it’s a decent exercise to build up your character.
Our director was very nice, btw. He wasn’t like Medusa at all
ok
" it hasn't gone anywhere probably never will the apocalypse could happen and all will be left is a bunch of cockroaches and a 10-person acting troop performing cats to said cockroaches" my absolute favorite part

Can you do like some popular or well know character traits and how you would describe them? Or something like a short video of different character personalities and how they interact. I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to keep a character in character without losing who they are in the story
I am a mix of a vacant head sphere and a heart to fear like the hand gestures in the high contact from a vacant head sphere is literally me but then everything else from the heart sphere is me also

When she started talking about Open Vacancy and Big Brain I immediately realized that I share traits of both. People always tell me to correct my posture (I’m constantly cracking my spine), I sit at the edge of my seat, I tend to walk with a bounce and hum, I tend to know a lot about things that interest me (just ask me about 40k Ork lore) but in my free time my brain is on autopilot, I can go from barely maintaining eye contact to zeroing on a pimple on someone’s forehead and l talk using my hands or I play with a pen while talking.
I only fit into the Vacant Head Sphere and the Intellectual Head Sphere.
And I have subscribed, I've been watching your channel for a while now and I thought I was subed
If you think about it, though, it kind of makes sense to explain character acting highschoolers in this way. Because highschoolers and people in their teams, they like to break things into categories they can understand. So when you’re breaking up, how to behave for certain characters, putting those characters into a category of the following the things in those categories, actually make a lot of sense. But I would not use this for professional acting were acting beyond high school because as Rebecca pointed out everybody is a little bit of everything.
Yeah that’s pretty smart! It might be helpful for high schoolers to use one of the spheres as a foundation, then add more character-specific mannerisms on top, or change a few things as needed, or something like that
*Teens
This is exactly what I was thinking
Like, if you're teaching people who have no prior education or experience, then yes, this is a very good way of introducing the concept body language as a part of characterization. It's not perfect, but it gives the idea of how body language can tell you what a person is like before they even say a word.
Kanajjammanahuauwnnwsnhsua got it
So its the Hogwarts house method if it made any sort of sense? Suiting them into a category lets them really get into character.
I have a feeling that these spheres are also heavily influenced on the Italian Commedia Del'Arte, which mixes personality types with body language. The heart sphere, for instance, is very similar to the role of Columbina, the rational, empathetic character who leads with her chest.
Huh, that makes sense!
Oh certainly, though I highly doubt that they would take this extreme of only four personalities can have these body language
This is exactly what i was thinking, i did alot on it school and it seems as though the 'head spheres' is just a simplified version of commedia del'arte
I think i'm a mix of all of them cuz i sit normally (sometimes) i walk with my head first and i move my hands when i talk idk why
The heart and cowboy one both fit me perfectly
The vacant sphere almost completely matches me - I walk with a “purpose” (my former teacher described it as 50% a power walk and 50% “I’m gonna kill someone” walk), I (sorta?) maintain eye contact but my mind likes to think about other thing at the same time, and I occasionally use hand gestures (I like to move a lot). The only thing lacking is sitting on the edge of my chair, because chairs are meant to be sat in normally.
Are you really a theatre kid if you don't sit in your chair abnormally? I will sit on the ledge of the counters and on the small floor spaces.
Wait this is exactly like me-
I totally match the vacant sphere lmao, but sometimes I'll adopt other traits, like the heart sphere's "empathetic" eyes or the intellectual sphere's intimidating, bored stare
I Match this 75%
honestly same
I was actually taught something similar in my acting class. My teacher taught us how to walk with one of three body parts leading: head, heart, and hips.
I remember that I was taught that as well in theater in high school.
I never tought idd fit perfectly into one category but vacant head sphere. there you go. simple plain straight
I take up a entire couch and also sit on the very edge
Honestly this may not be good for categorizing real people but it sure would be handy for teaching a teenager what body language to use when portraying a character
I'm probably gonna use it in my writing
its GREAT for animation
PERFECT ACTUALLY :)
this one character i like drawing is definitely an intellactual character :)
I'm studying this for animation, and boy there's so much potential!!!!!!
As a writer this actually intrigues me, because this is an interesting way to describe someone without any interactions! This could allow for some really iteresting descriptions of a particular environment or just specific people!
Granted you can't catagorize people like this (similarly to the hogwarts houses), but body language is a critical descriptive idea for not just real life people, but also characters.
As a street actor you actually learn to observe this about someone to know if they want to play along with a skit or if they're in a hurry to get somewhere!
I can totally see the validity of this school of thought. I'll be it not for ever situation, but it's still an interesting thing to keep in mind with creating a character!!!

Yes yes same
Yo 🔥ruclips.net/video/rdJ9bsN7JAw/видео.html,
I could imagine that those 4 spheres would be a good jumping-off point for trying to teach physicality of character in a middle or high school theatre class. Trying to get a young actor to do more than just stand there and say lines can be like pulling teeth, so giving some specific physical traits to certain characters can help. But as the young actor grows, they do need better tools for embodying a character -- physical choices that are a reflection of a strong character analysis and knowing what is their objective in a scene.
Your videos are always such a delight!! Thank you for sharing your experiences and fun, theatre-nerdy personality.
I wasn't expecting the undertake thing
Thank you for reminding us that these personality type categories can’t perfectly encapsulate people, because I was just slightly PANICKING about the fact that I could see myself in all four spheres and couldn’t find one that I completely fit in.
Don't panic over stuff like that. It's okay not to "fit in" - at the end of the day, no one truly does, especially when talking about personalities.

Rebecca: intellectual head Spears often stare
Me: that sounds like Jaden animation
I fit perfectly with the vacant head sphere 😂
No it’s real. I learned it in my class too. My teacher asked some of us to walk around the room like how we normally walk. He chose an extrovert and another extrovert that was more insecure, the extro walked normally and the insecure walk with hands in pockets and her head down. We didn’t call it “the 4 spheres” we didn’t even have a name for it, we were just talking about different character archetypes that I don’t remember the name of, but it’s been around since the beginning of theater. I know one of them was called the lovers.
There’s a chance you went to the same school if you don’t remember who your teacher was. It’s a very very very slim chance but… maybe?

@@boomgirlbucko I see, whoops!
It just sounds like they are trying to teach a simplified version of the 4 humours.
My initial reaction was to think this was going to basically be a great "How to make or play a one-dimensional character," but I think they are wide enough that you can have a more complex character that really falls into one category pretty completely. That being said, focusing on one but pulling some traits from the others seems like a good way to make a character feel more complex.
I’ve never played Cuphead, but Cuphead is my regain I watch videos about it, play, despite our flower things, and other things like like the devil
Literally I'm a mix of the Vacant Head sphere and the Will Sphere.
I can see using these spheres as quick ways to identify characters in a theater setting. Posture is a key role in making a believable character.
I honestly thunk your teacher simply didn't explain it in that way even though it sounds like that's what she was going for.
The vacant head sphere looking in every direction while listening perfectly to the discussion made me feel targeted.
I actually feel like I listen better when I'm looking almost sideways at them. (Maybe aiming my ears at them helps, I dunno.)

Is it just me or is looking at eyes awkward? And often kinda distracting? Like when you listen accessing the world around you should be a given cause you listen with your ears not your eyes. The idea of staring directly at someone when they’re talking feels more rude than giving minimal eye contact. However, this could be a cultural difference since I’m pretty sure the uk is more focused on eye contact then your average person from America. Another thing to add would be neurology, certain neurologies focus on the eyes more than other neurologies like- say- that of someone who has adhd like me. And I will say that having adhd plays a huge part in not being able to keep eye contact. One time I actually got in trouble for something I didn’t do because I couldn’t keep eye contact and the teacher thought I was lying, I have since forgotten what I got in trouble for but I’m still a little upset by that. To be honest I didn’t actually realize that eye contact when talking was really such a normal trait since I always feel like it’s awkward as hell, just sitting there while someone is talking like 👁👄👁 I see into your soul, I know every sin you have committed, your address is 123 Sesame Street 45678, I get no enjoyment out of having a conversation with you and only talk with you to collect information about your life into our database to create more positive experiences in your life, I am in fact a robot and your eye color is #7f9fa1, “sorry, what were you saying? I zoned out”
@@ThatOneKatt I think the only time I keep a completely focused eye-contact is when I'm mad at someone and I want them to know it. As she said, it's more of an intimidation tactic.
@@ThatOneKatt yeahhh neurotypical eye contact standards suck
@@SunroseStudios yes it does. I will vaguely stare at someone's eyes but not really so I trick them into thinking that I look in their eyes. In reality I might stare at their forehead instead, way more comfortable then the eyes. When talking to other neurodivergent people I just don't make eye contact.
I went to film school in LA as well, and never once heard of this.
I do actually try to incorporate these ideas into my ensemble roles in the musicals I do
When Becca explained Vacant head spaces I shouted out loud: “That’s my brain! That’s my brain in a nutshell!” I can’t hold eye contact for too long and my brain strays but I’m still listening
Same here. Well for me it's because of my ADHD.

Pretty sure thats an autism trait.

@@dudeeee2015 I can agree to that too. Many autism people like me spend alot of time in their head, because they have a way bigger remembering ability, and also tend to just find the world boring to say it in a dumb way they focus on one thing they find the most interesting.
While autism does not bring a lack of attention alone, that's an ADHD thing. I've got both.
This is actually a really interesting theory and honestly it makes a lot of sense. It may not work very well for actual people, but still good for characters and acting. I fit mostly in the intellectual and will spheres and don't really have any traits in the other two spheres.

Actually, stuff like this can work for analyzing people. Like how you can match certain personalities to say, the likelihood of someone having anxiety, or being an older or younger sibling, how their home life is, and so on. Body language is a huge part of that, and yes, these are based on generalized personality traits, but the thing is, they’re usually pretty accurate. They’re like the outline of a person, and while there are always details you can only see when you get to know them better, these traits 9/10 times stay the same.
HELP i fit perfectly in that will sphere category
The strata fear! Got me so cracked up
My teacher had something pretty similar. She divided people into elements (Fire, Water, Earth, Air). It wasn't as emphasized, but she would occasionally go: "Now, what element would Belle from Beauty and the Beast be?"
Well now im curious, what element was belle from beauty and the beast
Sounds like she watched a lot of Avatar.
The four elements lived in harmony until the Fire Nation attacked
@@Perdix64only the avatar, master of all four elements could stop them😂

I'm a librarian, and after watching this and considering my coworkers and myself, I'd say we're all a blend of vacant, heart and will - loud, cheerful, friendly, gesticulate to a ridiculous degree. None of us are subtle enough to fit into the intellectual sphere, funnily enough! XD
😅🥰 Relatable!!!!
I personally fit into some of the spheres like according to my sister I usually stare hard when I'm listening and I talk with my hands A LOT though when walking i dont particularly fit into any of them so yeah

Honestly, a lot of these traits seem to just be things autistic and ADHD-having people do a lot. The lack of eye contact because of a "multi tasking brain" is a big one for me.
Same! As a persone who ahd adhd I notice that too ^^
Yeah, I was definitely thinking about that with the vacant head sphere XD
Yeah as soon as the first guy was introduced, I was all "wait a second.... Isn't this just autism/ADHD??"
Yeah she was describing vacant sphere and I was like, mate these are all adhd symptoms snsbdbdb
Dude I was thinking the same thing Lmaö…
Petition to make these silly little character spheres a fandom
I sign the petition! :D 📜🖊️
I'm not really sure which spheres I am TvT I may be heart sphere cuz I'm empathetic I think
@@liv_thegachatuber I think I'm a will spere
I sign bc I wanna make a fanfic :D 📜🖋
Pretty sure im an intellectual sphere now we just need a vacant one to sign the petition to get the whole gang lol
Honestly, I nearly perfectly matched with vacant head sphere except for the walk where I matched with the twin
i fit perfectly with the will sphere you know i take that couch🤣
Honestly, I can see why someone would create a system like this. If you are trying to teach a bunch of high-schoolers how to theater act, having a handful of basic archetypes for them to mimic seems like helpful tool. It gets them thinking about the details behind any actions they take as the character.
