I think green should get possessed in their little three episode series so they don’t feel left out anymore :(

Evil Forms

inspired by a conversation with @thecatghost111

Okay - so when influencer arc first came out, we all ended up noticing that everyone had an "evil" doppelganger/possessed form. Red and Herobrine Red, Yellow and Lucky Block Yellow, Green and Greenscreen, Second and Superpowered Second, Blue and Witch Blue.

In the AvA community, Ghost and @aannonn made some observations about how Greenscreen was the ultimate personification of Green's mistakes, flaws, and imperfections. (post in question)

Which got me thinking - all of them have some sort of connection with their evil form, don't they?

SPOILERS AHEAD

💖 ANALYSIS 💖

So for Green - Greenscreen represents the side of Green that the light of day won't see. Everything he thought we wouldn't like - everything he thought was too crappy to ever be witnessed in public - all coalesced together to create the chromatic aberration. That is what Green's battle against him signifies; the battle against himself and the battle against the imperfect parts of himself.

And this is why the ending is so fitting - him hugging Greenscreen. Him embracing his past mistakes, and deciding to upload them anyway. (as you can probably tell I'm pretty unwell about influencer arc as a whole but yeah.)

Next, Blue - Blue's doppelganger, Witch Blue, is the result of him giving into his temptation. As in, him going to get netherwart, and everything that followed. While we don't know the witch's true motivations with the whole ordeal, we do know that witch Blue is the consequence of Blue's fatal flaw - doing things without thinking, generally speaking.

Yellow - for Yellow, his possessed form was ALSO a result of him giving into his temptations - and his own fatal flaw, his curiosity, which can sometimes be a danger to him. He chose to take apart the lucky block, and to investigate it, simply because he was curious. As the saying goes, "Curiosity kills the cat".

For Second (his form isn't evil at all btw), his powers aren't really his fault. It's more c!Alan's, for giving him his name in the first place and therefore giving him his powers. However, that is also a connection established between the two forms. Second is a creator, and his powers bring life back. Second is a selfless titular character who watched his friends die twice, and his powers reflect that also.

And Red - I, honestly, don't have anything to say for him (I would love ideas though!). Herobrine's motivations for possessing Red are not explained so far, and Red really didn't do anything to warrant it in the first place. The whole thing seemed more like an accident, and I hope future content might explain why.

But, I mean, Ghost put it really well XD:
