BUT I WILL HAVE THOUGHTS LIKE I ALWAYS DO
anyways doppelganger laurentina should have a shark tail
i will always mourn how she doesn't have more shark features and she deserves a chonky shark tail with scars and shit
she,,,, well if we go by "even as a doppelganger it's still laurentina" logic, she would 100% be a cage fighter and HATING it. she loves the fight but she hates everything else about it. she's probably super popular but verrryy bad for publicity
she is against everything the cages stand for and is constantly bucking against the bars even as a probably unwilling cage fighter herself
But Also. Horrible thought.
Church of Deep Cult Leader Specter,,,,, an AU of laurentina who never escape and never awakened to her true calling as an abyssal hunter and ended up as a faithful follow of the church of deep and joined SIN City to expand the seaborn's influence
that specter would be a recruiter probably,,,
CAGE FIGHTS CAGE FIGHTS CAGE FIGHTS
Laurentina would HATE the latter doppelganger especially since it's a her if, in her own words, the darkness and corruption of those heretics not only took root but flourished in her
I FORGOT I MAKE A CRACKSHIP OF LAURENTINA X SPECTER
WHAT IF THE DOPPELGANGER GETS MISTAKEN AS SPECTER AKA LAURENTINA'S LOVER HAHAHAHA
sinfluencer laur/cage fighter laur: survival of the fittest laurentina i can see. like a mutual respect thing where that respect follows even as they are trying to kill each other (caged fighting for a better life because that's the only way she knows now vs sinfluencer sympathizing and wanting to put the other out of their misery)
it's like,,, cage fighter laurentina who has forgotten how to sing and dance and sinfluencer laurentina mourning how a version of her has been reduced to a Vermin like the seaborn. a being that knows only how to survive but not how to live
and sinfluencer laurentina knowing full well that this version of her isn't so far off and distant as to be from another universe but is a reality she faces every day even in her own world
sinfluencer laurentina who acts as a mercifully ruthless abyssal hunter putting down a rouge/transformed comrade, singing a song the other can't sing back
oh yeah she would NOT follow the mission to bring back the doppelganger alive or dead
she will handle herself thank you
this is her personal affairs she's tending to. no outsiders allowed <3
meanwhile recruiter specter/sinfluencer laur???? HAHAHA okay
sinfluencer laur/recruiter specter: laur hates her so much. it doesn't help that recruiter specter is running around recruiting people into the VPN/cult and people think she's the elusive specter that she loves so dearly. recruiter specter is No Longer Her Specter, she is distinctly the church of deep's Sister Specter
heck she can even say recruit specter is amaia's specter
and she hates her for making a mockery of the specter, of Her Self that protected laurentina from the pain. of the identity she grew to accept and even love as her own separate existence from her as she awakened fully again
she will have a horribly intimate hateful dynamic towards recruiter specter haha. if laur is going to kill her, which she will more often than not, it's going to be Weird and it's going to be Intimate. HAHAHA
but again,,,, are these ideas feasible while i am Decrepit and on hiatus?
there is also the immensely funny option of laurentina not having a doppelganger because the doppelganger either died before crossing over or even died before coming to SIN City, think of that what you will
and when asked about why she doesn't have a doppelganger laur just answers "i don't know. maybe i'm just built different."
that is also a funny option too hahaha
laur, knowing versions of her out there are more likely to die thanks to the honestly tragic life she's lived: this current me in front of you now is simply built bigger, badder, and stronger, my vulnerable little companions!
can totally see a final exchange between recruiter specter and sinfluencer laur going "... you know, you have a lovely name. specter." "it was given to me by the bishop. names are a blessing, and i was blessed with invisibility. to act unseen and with freedom" "is that what you think? or is that what they told you?"
"specter means a ghost that haunts and lingers. but it is also a name shared by someone i love very dearly. goodbye, sister"
anyways unnormal thoughts as always
pspps what if you come back and I can play au!specter to your Laurentia
>
HAHAHA i trust you to do that but atm for my sanity, i have decided to not give laurentina a doppelganger running around BUT i am giving people free reigns to have whatever CR they want with AU laurentina/specter
i,,, probably need to Pick which one people would be a CR with hold on this should be a question i have to ask dkfjhdf
future Aurelia definitely experimented on future specter
bad evil sexy science things happened in there
absolutely can see that. cage fighter laurentina would hate future aurelia but recruiter specter and future aurelia are very much two peas in a pod which is why i need to ask if i have to pick One Solid Future Self or if i can have different characters have different laurentinas to pick and choose to have in their futures HAHAHA
i am not here to make sense
cage fighter Laurentia who wants revenge... sighing dreamily
exactlyyy i am here to facilitate all flavors of shark for people
me forgetting there’s a merge doppel option in sinfluencers:
also me: “but what if laurentina doesn’t need to merge with her dead doppel to know of the tragic fate she might face at the end of her journey? what if she doesn’t need to make that far of an imaginative leap to sympathize and know where her dystopian future self went?”
me: a h
gajalaka anyways thank you for the opportunity to give laurentina an element of surprise she never even expected from her own future: being protected by those she always thought she would protect ehehehe
miss laurentina out here killing me with The Thonks even while i'm decrepit
me wondering why laur thinks she wouldn't be protected despite the fact the abyssal hunters have always rescued her as their sleepy mermaid
is it because only monsters can protect monsters?
only an abyssal hunter can protect each other? and also kill one another
that would be an awfully cute thought: laur who sees everyone around her regardless of what they actually are as Not Monsters because she herself is always the biggest and strongest monster in the block
she'll be a monster for them. worry not.
if she must be put down later then so be it but until then, she will be a monster to protect
putting a pin in that for future character relationship development
me getting hit with a freight train before work thinking:
oh laur being protected by people other than other abyssal hunters would just make her pause and remember "oh... that's right. before skadi, before my captain, i was protected. by those soft people at rhodes island" and need a moment to process that she doesn't have to be so strong always now that her companions have proven themselves
something something when does a monster stop being a monster, when you love them yada yada
