Every day I think about a potential tf2 taunt that lets you make character kiss. The problem with this is 40+ combinations gets complicated, so in my mind I have since simplified it to a Medic taunt, similar to Soldier's choking one, in which the other classes kiss him in thanks for the heals.

Scout: acts grossed out about it, goes on tiptoes and kisses the very edge of Medic's lips and wipes his mouth afterwards (He secretly enjoyed it)

Soldier: recreates that one painting where the soldier swings the girl down to kiss her, then steps back and salutes

Pyro: HEADBUTT

Demo: drunk af, stumbles in, slings his arms around Medic and gives him a massive sloppy one on the lips

Heavy: the one you've probably been waiting for. Picks Medic up clean off his feet, borderline make out session, puts him down politely afterwards

Engineer: has to pull Medic down by his lapels (short) and gives him a chaste enough one on the lips bc his mother raised him right

Medic: synchronised double cheek kisses with the "mwah" sound effect from the heavy is dead

Sniper: KAKEBON, lip kiss, bonus "i reckon ur gonna get real used to lookin up at me" line

Spy: back of hand kiss, double cheek kiss AND slightly hesitant peck on the lips

...I've thought too much about this haven't I

This is why we are striking…

Clearly, major studios are already deploying AI to copy my likeness to make otherwise ho-hum scenes pop off the screen. Can you believe they paid me not a dime for this? (That, or this background actor went in to a plastic surgeon and said, “I don’t care what it costs… Make me look like Misha Collins.”)

If there’s any Ghostbusters fanfiction authors out there looking for requests/suggestions, please consider writing something about the Peoplebusters. They have NO content and I’m dying out here.

Doppelgängers really are terrifying. I read Dostoevsky’s the Double in college and haven’t stopped thinking about it since. The fear of what you’re capable of. The image of what you could’ve been. Seeing a version of you that is maybe more successful and wondering where you fucked up. Seeing a version that’s worse and facing down how easily tenuous your life is. Seeing a version that’s all your worst traits magnified and worrying what that says about you. Seeing a version of you with all your best traits magnified and wondering why you aren’t like that. Anyway this episode of protocols fucked me up.

a mind-bending riddle of delightful doppelgängers and surprising disguises that reveal we're more alike than we may think. You'll never look at the alphabet the same way again!

Black Paradox [Book Review]

🦇Summary Four young people intent on taking their own lives instead open mystical portals to another realm. 📚Themes & Topics: Suicide, Death, Souls, Reincarnation, Humanity ⭐Rating: 🩸🩸🩸🩸 🧠 My thoughts This is a quick read, but a rather good story from my favorite manga master, Junji Ito. Black Paradox hits almost all the right notes, but has some flaws in the plot overall. Four young people…

What is the difference between doppelgangers and changelings

OP, are you sure your friends haven't been replaced by aliens that look just like them?

Appropriate reaction

[rainbowjay20]

So.

I'm not crazy, right?

These two look alike. Like, almost like twins.

I had Partner Track on my to watch list for a while. Great little short series. Sort of left a mild cliffhanger but not a pressing one. Not like the annoying ones. Alphas comes to mind. Doctor Who literally left an episode with the Doctor hanging off a cliff, by an umbrella, IIRC.(Dragonfire-Sylvester McCoy)

But anyway, tangent over, back on track. (pun intended) Partner Track was a Netflix series based on a book. (So you can find the ending if you want.) It is a dramedy. If you like Suits, The Practice, The Lincoln Lawyer, you like this. It's a touch lighter than those shows. More focused on the lives of the lawyers. All Rise, For The People, Raising the Bar, Burden of Truth, and I think you can get the idea. It is short enough that you can binge it in a day or so.

But I had to keep double-checking IMDB because the resemblance is so eerily uncanny.

The guy on the left is Harvey from Suits. Otherwise known as Gabriel Macht.

The guy on the right is Matthew Rauch.

Well, they do say that everyone has at least 6 or 7 dopplegangers. They are even studying dopplegangers for genetic similarities. They think they may be able to get some medical benefit from studying this phenomenon.

You can even sign up on websites to search for your double!

Stellar Beings and Subspace Systems!

by Daniel Wolfert. (Note: Due to formatting this post will be best viewed at Mentagenesis.com). Last week and in several previous posts we explored the concept that everything in the Universe is conscious and is in fact a form of Source Consciousness. Not only is this understanding an ancient one which is found at the heart of many so-called primitive belief systems, but it’s slowly being…
