#I will not kill the doppleganger.

[thats-a-lot-of-cortisol]

I've been chewing on what fears the bg3 characters would be because I do that with almost every piece of media I like now.

Gale is the Beholding (hubris, pursuit of knowledge above all else, his ex can literally see everything he does in/with the Weave). You could make an argument for Desolation b/c of the orb but I think that's secondary. Wyll is the Hunt imo, but the Desolation works for him too- I think his situation is similar to that Hunter we meet whose name I'm forgetting, whose inciting incident has to do with the Dark. I thought the same thing about Karlach but I think she's Desolation instead of Hunt, both aesthetically and because she was actively betrayed and is, you know, dying. Shadowheart is the Dark. Halsin could honestly be the Lonely: he's pretty isolated from the people around him emotionally. An island unto himself etc etc. Lae'zel is the End imo. You'd think she'd be Hunt but End fits into Vlaakith's whole deal (victim of the End, avatar of the Hunt?). Astarion could be either the Buried (since that covers abuse as well, he was literally kept underground/out of the sunlight, etc etc) or the Hunt. I'm a bit undecided there. I don't know enough about Minthara to make a call on her and I don't want to just say Web because of Lolth. Slaughter, maybe? Since that fear covers war. Jaheira and Minsc are Hunt too, I think (there's a lot of Hunt but that comes with the territory when you're adventuring).

Gortash is Web and you cannot convince me otherwise. I think Orin is Slaughter but, honestly, Durge seems more associated with the Extinction to me because of Bhaal's end goal. The Desolation and the Lonely tag-teamed Ketheric's ass but he's an avatar of the End. Dame Aylin is an avatar of the Hunt, victim of the Dark, and Isobel is an avatar of the End a la the main End avatar we see (Oliver? I really need to re-listen...)

There's obviously a lot of overlap and bleed because there always is. I've been wanting to make art based off of this but it's not happening anytime soon so I figured I'd shout about it into the void a bit lol

#as far as tavs go: #dora is probably hunt? unclear #peri's stranger #corentin specifically is slaughter even though i know i said durge was extinction #candor is web tbh but a victim of the vast #io is...none? honestly? they were just a Normal Person before pre-tadpole #luka's end obviously #undecided about solace. theyre a victim of/marked by slaughter & desolation even though theyre a tempest cleric #buried? perhaps? im chewing on beholding for them too b/c of reasons i cant quite articulate rn #anyway #my post #jay rambles #bg3 #bg3 companions #bg3 characters #the magnus archives #tma #i dont think orins stranger despite being a changeling because that just enhances her killing #like. nicola's pretty damn murderous too but that's just bc she is #while orin uses her shapeshifting as a tool to kill *better* #idk if that makes sense #dribbles is stranger though (the real one AND the doppleganger. dont trust clowns kids)

I love any interpretation of Aleksander where he is just balls to the wall paranoid about the most batshit fairytale things that literally nobody else thinks about. Like you can’t make me believe Aleksander - son of Baghra ‘never tell anybody your true name always keep it tattooed on your heart’ Morozova - who lived over 400 years ago during the time of saints, doesn’t have some absolutely insane superstitions.

#i think about this whenever i work on my au where mal and alina teleport to another timeline #and alt universe!aleksander spends the whole time trying to fucking assassinate mal and alina from the other world #because he's terrified they're gonna kill his mal and alina to take their places and steal their lives #like old folklore dopplegangers #alksjdfls #aleksander morozova #the darkling #shadow and bone #sab #grishaverse #myramblings

I know I already made the "the Raving Rabbids DS games predicted Rayman's role in Captain Laserhawk" joke but I just booted up TV Party and now I'm just a little suspicious...

#I guess they didn't use the wheel of death on Bullfrog because they're easier to escape #the Rayman doppleganger/clone gets killed and Eden has to use a Rabbid in a wig for propaganda #Rayman #captain laserhawk #rayman raving rabbids #Rabbids #Rabbid

don't be codependent with the doppleganger of your dead best friend challenge (INSTANTLY FAILED)

#gmgp au #hail true body au #jingling sasha and mark around in my brain sooo violently #anne tries to shake hands with whoever loses an arm in htb but it's a little difficult because. yeah lmao #and then sasha and dave just walk DIRECTLY into each other and both faceplant. poor guys #sending cesar off to the ''traumatized dopplegangers with identity crises'' group therapy club with darcy #mark walks on stage right to see sasha desecrating a grave. she drops the shovel and SPRINTS outta there stage left #marcy and human!cesar are in the nonexistent afterlife listening to queen. don't ask how that works #adam and darcy make prolonged eye contact .neither blinks for over an hour #jonah and anne are just vibing out I think they'd get along pretty well #sarah and sasha get in a shouting match. don't ask who started it #mark ''I wish my parents were still alive'' heathcliff #and sasha ''I thiiink I might've accidentally had my parents killed and replaced w/ nicer ones'' waybright

I think that if I met myself I would probably try to kill me on sight

#this isnt in like a self hatred way #i am just genuinely so afraid of dopplegangers #and she would definitely try to kill me too #so its ok #that or we'd just talk idk #probably not talk

[thermesiini]

if i found out i was a robot it would just make sense. if i found out i was a clone i’d have a mental breakdown ship of theseus style and kill myself

#literally i would be the evil doppleganger who has to kill the original

There's a few mild, vague jumpscare elements in Alan Wake (mostly sudden, brief flashbacks Alan's having rather than an actual monster lunging at you) I would say but it's not heavy handed with them and it's a very atmospheric, low-gore horror vibe. He is so sopping wet and abnormal your type of man for sure. There is also an affably evil chaotic doppleganger. Many selling points. The combat gets a little boring in the first game but each game gets better and the story is so good.

SNIF. OK THANK YOU ANON FOR MY LIFE

#asks #why did it have to be dopplegangers . #<- story time #after watching us by jordan peele in school one day #i came home and went about my usual routine #until i was drawing at my desk and it was nighttime #n for some reason #i got really fucking convinced that my doppleganger was outside waiting for me #and if i moved theyd come in n kill me #i was there for an hour until my dad got home :o(

Broke: Evil Doppleganger says something mean to Friend and creates mistrust between the Real One and the Friend Woke: Evil Doppleganger says something mean to Friend and is immediately taken out because the Friend knew they were a fake and "-they would never say that" Bespoke: Evil Doppelganger says something mean to Friend, and is immediately taken out, because Friend thought it was the Real One. And Real One should know not to say such mean things

#Real one off to the side helplessly watching: heh heh. That's right hit me in the face!!! I know I'm mean sometimes but that's too far #And deserves a good punch to the face #Friend to (unknown) clone: we may be friends but that's no way to speak to each other !!! *DECKS them in the face* #Just #Somethign something about evil clones being almost too good at saying what the real one would say #But gets to the point where it's taken too far. And the friend just decks them out of anger . Cause that's RUDE!!! #Bonus points if the punch/hit actually completely takes out the clone #And friend thinks they straight up killed them and feels so guilty for letting their emotions control them #(Not knowing that the clone was significantly weaker than the real one) #And the real one has to take several minutes to convince them that they're really alive and fine and - #'If I ever say something like that to you. I fully expect you to hit me in the face' and they're dead serious about it #Anyway uuuhhh #Tropes #Evil Doppleganger trope #Evil clones #Memes

If you make ME2 deeper than they likely intended, you can read Morinth and Samara as two sides as of the same person, and killing one will always kill the other in some way.

#OOC / HOLLY. #MOBILE. #smth smth Morinth as all the freedom and hedonism Samara once reveled in #smth smth Morinth as all her cleverness and tenacity and strength #but also her capacity for violence and debauchery and flightiness #smth smth the fight between out worst impulses and selfishness vs the ethics and social norms that keep them in check #smth smth that quote from Stoker as having children so we can wipe the slate clean #but also smth smth generational trauma #smth smth Samara and Morinth being identical in appearance and Morinth being able to minic her exactly. to assume her identity #smth smth Justicars and Ardat-Yakshi as two ends of an extreme #both killers who can topple states singlehandedly #one bound by a brutal Code. one unbound and simply brutal #smth smth Justicars embodying justice and the norms of asari nature #Ardat-Yakshi representing destruction and chaos and the antithesis of those norms #I should sleep I get up early #but it’s JUST !! they are two ends of an extreme in every way #in a sense two ends of a whole person #killing one is always killing the other. the surviving one doesn’t survive for long / can never be truly complete #but they’re irreconcilable they can never come together #all those TOS eps where Kirk met his evil doppleganger only to learn the darkness is an essential part of himself but must be restrained by #his morals and compassion. then they merge and he’s whole and functional again #smth smth Samara giving birth to all her weaknesses all her mistakes everything she wanted to leave behind #but you can’t just lock that away #spend 430 years hunting literally your personal demons personified who si your daughter that you birthed and raised #I’m not making sense anymore I’m just half asleep and a lil unhinged about these two

#if ever I need the the tag “buzzcut” it's because I've been killed and replaced by a doppleganger thank you tho #~k

Did I ever tell you guys about the time I was playing DnD and one of the party members died on a boat, but theplayer didn't want to let go of his character so he built a new character who was exactly the same except with wings who just showed up out of nowhere like "I'm that guy's half-brother who he never mentioned, I was part of the boat crew until now but I think I should travel with you guys, don't ask any questions don't worry about it" and we (who were working against a trickster god at the time) just went "oh, some kind of evil doppleganger" and immediately killed him

[koifishing]

huh.

love story is not what I would of went with for a silent hill movie, but uh, ok? I guess?

not sure I like the direction they're heading in for this movie. :|

sorry for being such a downer and a hater on this movie, but damn, I don't know, this just doesn't seem like a movie that'll be good. But who knows!? Maybe it'll be...ok? Like if it wasn't a silent hill 2 movie it would be fine. But idk.

#return to silent hill #silent hill 2 #huh #ok #um #i'm really trying here #i dont want to be a hater #but #this just doesn't feel right #sorry #this doesn't make sense #why a love story for a silent hill 2 movie? #james loved his wife #but he also like KILLED HER #silent hill 2 is about facing your sins and like atonement and shit #not mmm james loves his wife's doppleganger #man im being such a hater #im sorry #geez #tag hell
