THE 'TRUE SELF' MEME
(inspired by Persona 4)



"In Jungian psychology, the shadow or "shadow aspect" is a part of the unconscious mind consisting of repressed weaknesses, shortcomings, and instincts."

Everyone has another side to them that they keep hidden away, feelings they bottle up to save face or avoid conflict. But what if those feelings take a life of their own...?

Perhaps it's your best friend, a close family member, a hated enemy, or maybe it's just a complete stranger. No matter who it is, they are different now, possessing creepy yellow eyes, a distorted voice, and a disconcerting aura. Take care in what you say to them, though, because there are three little words that will set them off into an unstoppable rage...

How to:
Step 1: Post as your character with their name and canon
Step 2: Others respond stumbling onto your character
Step 3: WHOOPS. Character A has been replaced by their Shadow or Other Self!
Step 4: Play out the encounter! Will you start an epic boss fight? Have a pleasant chat? Or maybe just flat out ignore them? Run wild!

[He sees Narukami walking ahead and jogs to catch up. When he reaches the other boy, Sakuma gives him a light pat on the back.]

Deasta, there you are!

[Have one (1) worried Colette running over, only pausing to catch her breath once she's gotten over to the Devil.] I got really worried when we got split up. Are you okay?

[Just forgive a lack of proper icons OTL]

[He's not even going to say anything when he finally finds her - just going to grab onto Colette's hand and start to drag her away, something the normal Colette is probably used to.]

Stop wandering off on your own like that.

[Seeing duplicates of themselves in the dream bubbles is hardly a unique occurrence. There were plenty of trolls from various doomed timelines - some different in seemingly mundane ways, some quite varied. Seeing Karkat as a fully realized Knight of Blood was strange enough, and she'd certainly seen her share of deceased iterations of Dave Strider floating about, unanimously agreeing with each other about how much of a cooler place the afterlife was with all of them there.

For one reason or another though, this was the first time she'd seen herself.

She just watches the other Lalonde for a few moments. Initially, she's not sure what to do. But she quickly realizes, if this Rose is from a doomed timeline herself, despite all of her attempts to stop such a thing from happening, she may have information that will prove vital. The awkwardness of speaking to yourself kind of pales in comparison to that.

She floats down closer, the other Rose's back to her at the moment.] I can only imagine how difficult finding a relatively peaceful area in this place must have been.
