Welp, the doppelganger fic has earned a mood board, or I guess a collage of sorts. Enjoy you shameless encouragers. (I love you all!) Previous snippet and original idea can be found here.
Who is who? Hen: Attorney with a husband (there will be a joke about her bagging hot spouses), Buck: British traveling photographer, Eddie: Street dancer (his name will be Sean!), Ravi: Ivy league college student. Chimney: Supreme court judge, Maddie: Masseuse who gives 'extra' and apparently see's ghost, Bobby: alcoholic announcer for an NHL team, Athena: African royalty in LA to escort the body of her deceased husband home
And I'm even including a very very short snippet:
Chimney and Hen watch the judge that carries Chim's face pick up his brief case, dust if off, and give a still wide eyed Buck a short nod, "Thank you for the concern, but I'm sure the first aide kit in my office will suffice. Besides I'm due in court very soon."
He starts to walk away, then pauses and looks back, meeting each of the teams stares. When his eyes reach Chimney, there's the slightest tilt of his head and an almost wonder-like expression flashes across his face, "Hm." The doppelganger murmers, his eyes lingering on the paramedic. A quick moment passes before the judge is shaking his head with the smallest of smiles, "Father would sorely disapprove." He murmurs then strides away.
Chimney catches his otherworldly twin's statement and scoffs, "You have no idea man."
outta all the gifs that dontcallmebymyusername cruelly subjected everyone to yesterday this is the one i like best, and it's not even for the mouth-to-mouth action, it's for his amused eye contact and the happy lil smile on his face just before she swoops in and sits on his lap
(i am hardcore ignoring that the lady is not phryne but it is no leap of the imagination to substitute her in here :> :>)
Theory : Is Wally Darling with a Doppelgänger?__________
I saw that there would be an update, in Welcome Home, which will be released in March, and I had a little theory that I thought of!
My little theory is this? And if Wally Darling has a problem with his Doppelgänger, we have only seen that Wally is not doing well, there is a split personality problem and where would there be two Wallys, if it was Wally's Doppelgänger problem! ?
For those who don't know what a Doppelgänger is, the Doppelgänger is a "sosie" or "double of a living person". It is present in fiction, folklore, or even in Germanic mythology and Nordic mythology. It designates the ghostly double of a living person, most often an evil twin. The appearance of a double is a bad omen, announcing misfortune or the death of the individual meeting his double.
Doppelgänger are ultra dangerous, they try to replace you and kill you, they always have an ultra strong smiling face and dark eyes!
The problem too, and perhaps impossible, is that all of Wally's friends and himself are puppets, puppets do not have a Doppelgänger, they are not alive, but for Wally apparently, it is he who really has a conscience and who may be alive, so he may be a doppelganger and who has a problem with his doppelganger!
This is just my little theory, I don't think so, but we'll see in the next Welcome Home update!
i need to get less ashamed of talking about my interests on my 0 follower tumblr blog because if i don't point out that despite having one of the most interesting concepts ever presented in a genshin event, shadows amidst snowstorms was not actually well written, and was in fact pretty Poorly written, then who else will. Who else will.
@naffeclipse I finished my reread today and then skimmed it all again for lines and also your entire cryptid sightings tag. If anyone asks I'm in my conspiracy chamber working on my board, it's coming along so nicely <3

Yesterday my brain threw up this idea for a possible bottle episode and then at last minute dropped the random thought of it being a wip I should write. Then you all shamelessly encouraged me...sigh. Notes were made, words were written, and a new wip was born. So I give to you, my doppelganger fic.
Doppelgänger. A German word that literally means double-walker. A phenomenon often regaled in science fiction or supernatural tales. Seen as otherworldly beings that represent bad luck or outright evil. Because each person that comes into the world is supposed to be unique in their own way physically (outside of identical twins). The face you see in the mirror is yours and yours only, so seeing it on another, well it must mean something? Right?
It’s a contemplation that a group of firefighters from the 118 face just after the annular California solar eclipse, a time when strange phenomena truly occur.
October 14th, 2023, the day after the solar eclipse and the beginning of a truly unique 48-hour shift. The team hears about the shift from the 13th from the previous crew. How the solar eclipse brought out the conspiracist, doom sayers, and extra wackos. Chimney thanks his lucky stars that he was not stuck on that shift and can’t help but chuckle when Buck goes on a tangent about the ‘effects’ of the eclipse sun. His chuckle deepens when he spots Eddie rolling his eyes behind his best friend’s back, keeping his opinions and disbelief to himself, for now.
“You know, there’s a theory that the eclipse is actually a portal to another dimension or world.” Buck states as he pulls on a standard LAFD shirt, finally covering his bare chest. Chimney clocks the mild disappointment that flashes across Eddie’s face and Chimney internally gags. Next to him, Ravi snorts and shakes his head, “They are so blind and stupid.” He mutters under his breath and Chim gives a slight nod of agreement. Too bad the eclipse didn’t use its supernatural prowess to finally end the sexually charged and love sickening dance that has been going on between those two firefighters for way too long.
Eddie’s disappointment last only seconds and by the time Buck turns around, a cheeky smile has replaced the frown, “A portal huh? Does it take anyone then? Or just dump another Mothman into the hills?”
LOOK WHAT YA'LL MADE ME DO! I have so many other wips, including NFL Buck and 4+1 Cockblock that I am trying to get done, but nooooo my random thought is now being shamelessly encouraged. Happy?!?!?! (Seriously, actually giddy about this! Its a fun fic with some serious undertones.) Forshame!
