hey. what's your shadow like?

trust me i get why nobody wants to talk about this whole thing. neither do i. but it kinda seems like we ought to compare notes and we can do it anonymous. or you can just use this to vent about how your shadow's an asshole idc

mostly i just keep seeing people say stupid shit and claim it was their shadow and i can't tell if this is just a case of your_experiences_are_not_universal.jpeg (sorry. obviously i don't have the meme on me) or if i'm going crazy. bcuz mine is so quiet i can't even tell it's there usually. so what's the deal???

(before you say i must be a good person who doesn't have much of a dark side: lol. but i'm not some evil psychopath who already acts on their worst impulses either)

and has anyone had any luck getting theirs to fuck off?

(thanks emma for the horoscope knowledge from magazines)

damn ok drama queen

[appeale]

yeah yeah i'm a big crybaby

so are you going to keep dodging the question

[invinciblemikey]

ok

1. i think its bullshit to blame your shadow for shit your shadow is still you at the end of the day its just your bullshit encarnate but you nonetheless so it is you and your responsibility
2. its a thing tho its like someone gave your shitty self a megaphone and a youtube channel
3. nope you cant tell yourself to fuck off u gotta live with urself

[appeale]

wow. that's pretty mature of you.

does yours like... talk to you directly or what? does it have a personality??? or do you just feel an impulse to be a dick sometimes

[invinciblemikey]

i think it might be different for me, for reasons i am not saying on the internet

might get better luck asking the others

but yeah it do talk

[appeale]

weird. i don't think mine has ever said anything.

now i'm paranoid it's doing things and i just haven't noticed

[invinciblemikey]

meh. consequences come knocking

you'll know eventually

if you ain't notice that isn't gonna change anytime soon

[appeale]

thanks that's so reassuring

i would really rather avoid consequences. that's kind of why i wanted to hear about the things everyone else's shadows do so i could be prepared for it

[invinciblemikey]

get a soulmate. they help.

[appeale]

i know that's what people around here say but do they actually? how much does it help?? what does "help" even mean in this situation, is the shadow just not as annoying anymore

[invinciblemikey]

in my opinion they do

it feels like it soothes it. comes up less often

[appeale]

i'm still not sure i want to do the soulmate thing, but that is actually good to know. thanks.

how invasive are the side effects? sharing feelings and all that.

[invinciblemikey]

you can control it, i'm trying my hardest. on the receiving end, my mind is half mine and half bursts of hope, big grumbles, endless cat gifs, pissed off noises, and 'how do i spell maintenance'

[appeale]

no offence to you and your soulmate but that sounds like hell

[invinciblemikey]

its fine its entertaining sometimes

and you can talk that way, too.

[appeale]

no thank you! telepathy is 100% not worth having somebody in my head
