THE EVIL DOPPLEGANGER MEME

[melplayspersonal]

 

Double your pleasure, double your fun – in this meme, you get to explore all the ways evil twins, clones, lookalikes and dopplegangers happen to your character! Be it by magic, science, or dreams, can friends and loved ones tell which is good, which is bad, or keep them all?

 

CLONE CRAZINESS

You’re seeing double – there’s two of you! They’re like you in every single way, so how do you tell who was the original? Maybe you can use them to pull off a scheme that requires you to be in two places at once – but what happens when the creation wants to take the creator’s place? And maybe whatever created them is out of control – five, ten, fifteen, how many of you can you handle?

 

GOOD VERSUS EVIL

You’ve been split in two – one all good, and one all bad! Or maybe the best traits and the worst? Spread it around and give each part of your personality a life! Will Bad Twin go around to cause chaos and whatever they’ve been holding back? Will Good Twin be way too honest with their feelings and start blabbing secrets? Or were Good and Bad reversed all along, you can’t tell and you’ve gone cross-eyed?

 

SNEAKY SHADOWS

I am the Shadow, the true self – although given their glowy eyes or shadowy body, that might be in question. Can you or your friends defeat this version of you that gives you the creeps? Or do accept that this is still you, warts and all? Expand and explore a “mindscape” that reveals everything about you, even the stuff you didn’t know you were hiding.

 

PERFECT PLURALS

Perhaps as a trap or a sweet dream, you’re confronted with the perfect version of your friend/partner! They’re saying and doing everything you’ve ever wanted to hear and see. I’ve always loved you! You were right all along! You’re way better than me! Do you fall for the trick and wish it could never end? Or do you fight through and want your partner with all their imperfections? Boy, it sure would be awkward if the real version happened to see all this…

 

REPLACEMENT REVERSAL

You’ve been created to take over another’s life, or perhaps ruin their life and reputation. It should be a simple plan, but what happens when you enjoy the assignment too much? Do you reveal the truth to those you trust, or stick to the lie so you can have everything you want? And what happens when the original is fighting back to take what’s rightfully theirs? Maybe others prefer the replacement too!

 

ALTERNATE ATROCITY

Who doesn’t love a good AU? This is what happens when worlds collide, and you meet yourself or someone familiar from another dimension! Will they insist on staying around, or do they want to get home ASAP? How wildly different can the same person be, and what does it say about how your life could have gone?

 

BLAST FROM THE PAST/FUTURE FRIGHTS

We’ve got to get back, Marty! You’ve stumbled into your embarrassing past, but is there a way to fix it so your present is better? Hopefully whoever is with you doesn’t see how mortifying you were before. Or let’s do the time warp again and see how much your future self has been warped! Are you horrified of what you’ve turned into, and literally become your own worst enemy?
