A simple meme. Post a comment describing a hypothetical meeting between the Save the Earth AU version of your character (IE the one in this game) and the original version (IE the one straight out of the TV show/book/game.) either with a description of their opinions or with an actually written out conversion.

Also, if you like, you can continue by way of tagging other people's posts, and threading out an encounter between your StE AU and their Original Flavor version. Or between your your Original Flavor and their StE AU.

After the initial confusion, New!Marisa finds herself torn between something resembling hero worship for Old!Marisa and her stupendous magical power, and disdain at Old!Marisa's fashion sense. She's also too much of a people person to like the idea of living alone in the Forest of Magic.

Short version Old!Marisa becomes New!Marisa's mentor in magic, but then helps her get a less frilly wardrobe.

New!Dians are instantly repulsed by Old!Isaac and Miria's criminal ways. OH NO CRIME BAD. But they also can't really hate themselves, especially after hearing a few of the reasons, so they find themselves really conflicted about what to do. They'd probably also feel an inexplicable urge to hide them from anyone that stopped by.

Old!Isaac and Miria initially think these "strange duplicates/clones" are evil evil face stealers. It takes a while, but Dians do manage to explain that there's some reincarnation stuff going on. Then Isaac and Miria deem the Dians to be pretty darn cool. Got a house?! Cool knick-knacks! Neato friends! So, they drag New!Dians (and anyone else they like) on a wide variety of adventures and funtimes all around.

Sitcom-esque hijinks, crazy misadvantures, and hilarity ensues.

Old!Danny is a little weirded out by how shy and wimpy new!Danny is, and is constantly asking "was I seriously that much of a dork?" He is also incredibly confused and embarrassed of all of Danny's bizarre conclusions as to what he could possibly be turning into. Obviously you're turning into a half-ghost, you doofus, why would you ever think you're an alien?!

New!Danny is kind of starstruck by how cool and confident Old!Danny is. Also, really confused about why he talks like a 10-year-old who thinks he's cool for saying the ultra-taboo 'poopyhead'. Honestly, "crud" and "shoot"? This isn't kindergarten, man.

Old!Danny ends up as the wise mentor to New!Danny, especially in regards to his powers, because good lord does New!Danny need all the help he can get, he gets into even worse shenanigans than Old!Danny ever did.

What do you think would happen?

Old Reimu would suspect that New Reimu was either an incident or Yukari trolling her again. New Reimu would probably be a little surprised, but mostly annoyed by how much more aggressive the Old Reimu is (not there's that much difference unless Incident Mode is in play), and they'd probably end up arguing due to Old Reimu trying to get the new one to do things the Old one doesn't want to do or something. They're still both about equal in the laziness department. XD;

Also, actually, Old Reimu might also be a little jealous at how normal/quiet New Reimu's life is in comparison to hers, and how much freedom being a normal girl as opposed to the Hakurei Shrine Maiden gives her, with New Reimu being a little bit more appreciative of said normality (even if it is a bit boring sometimes) after she finds out about all the shit Old Reimu has to deal with on a monthly basis. She wouldn't envy New Reimu her dad though. >.>

Cinderella and Rarity get on just like twin sisters separated at birth and brought up under very different circumstances - Cinderella is immediately starstruck if a little jealous by Rarity's unicornian glamor and establishment as a successful and popular member of society (in one for talking ponies!), not to mention the things she's capable of magically and artistically; Rarity insists that no double of hers is going to lead a dreary life in somepony's yard and insists that the two of them go out and about, get Cinderella done up properly and gifted with a custom proper dress or two, and they mostly have a grand ol' ladies' time.

As their figurative levels even out they might pick up a sense of a rivalry with one another but it is, too, sisterly, and all amicable at the end of any possible rises to huffing clashes.

Jovan and Nathan are mutually horrified by each other. While they appreciate each other's senses of humor (or humour, for Nathan), that's about all they see eye to eye on. Nathan is disgusted by how Jovan is pissing away the best years of his life locked away in classrooms studying a ton of boring shit he doesn't even like. Public policy, what the fuck even is that? What a waste, Nathan can hardly believe this guy is supposed to be a reincarnation of him.

Jovan, on the other hand, is appalled by how vulgar Nathan is in person, and the fact that he is straight up a criminal with no prospects in life, and that he has no plans for the future beyond "party hardy until I can't party no more." (Although he does secretly want to do that, just for a little.)

Their first meeting starts out friendly enough, the both of them civilly talking to each other. It quickly becomes very explosive and very loud, though, and they leave on sour terms with each other. Nathan does not even explain any of the weird superpower shit before he fucks on off outta there.

How a meeting between the past and present Anthonys would go is wholly dependent on whether or not Old Anthony would be run into before or after he's had his skull bashed in my Paul.

Assuming New Anthony meets Old Anthony before, if Old Anthony has the lucidity for it, it's very possible it'll throw them both into a tizzy, and if not, particular reaction's a one-way street and New Anthony would be rather horrified.

Assuming after Paul 'twill contrastingly go essentially well - if not exactly cheerily; the ghostly Old Anthony wonders how his refreshed self managed to grow up so passive to a point that he's perplexingly not-quite-secondhandedly a little discontented over it but isn't put off and on the whole, to keep it short, they'll find quite a load to find to share and discuss with each other.

Angela would be rather alarmed by Angua. She could see herself in her preincarnation, and assuming she could figure out what Angua is, she could also see how she would end up like that having lived that life. Angua, on the other hand, would be almost relieved by how NORMAL Angela is. It shows that if you separated the wolf from the human, the human isn't a killer.

Angua wouldn't be able to bring herself to tell Angela too much about what's in store for her, and would just give guarded and leading comments. End result: Angua conflicted and disappointed, Angela confused and frustrated.

Ahahahaha~

Basically, Sho will find Shou's life of ease to be both a big huge 'WTF' as well as 'kid, you have no f** clue what real life is like'. He'll be disappointed in Shou having all these opportunities to do something and all he does is party and hang around and does nothing. All that talent, the connections, the skills and he is just wastes it.

Shou will see Sho as a big scary guy because he can be. And then he'll wish he had never joked about vampires.

Eren thinks Alan is a cowardly, spineless idiot who needs to stop whining about how much his life sucks and get to killing all them aliens already. Alan thinks Eren is crazy, obsessive, and straight-up monstrous. They yell and fight a lot.

After they get past that and calm down enough to talk to each other in a somewhat civil fashion, they might get around to actually defending each other's points of view. Eren still finds Alan's preoccupation with art stupid, but is kind of glad that his reincarnation got to live a peaceful life with an alive mother. Meanwhile when Alan gets a better picture of the kind of life Eren has led, he ends up feeling bad for his preincarnation because wow that sucks. Alan casually mentions that yeah in this world we can just get on a plane and go wherever. They go see the ocean together and it's actually kind of weirdly adorable.

Tavia's initial reaction to Vriska is intense confusion. Because she's been assuming her preincarnation was Spinneret Mindfang, ruthless pirate badass (who was not actually a fairy. Or Jesus)! And Vriska is just a thirteen-year old dead girl. Oops.

While Octavia's confusion gives way to massive disappointment, Vriska will be sort of jealous and angry. Tavia has had a cushy life as a weaky-weak soft little Earth human, has been through none of the hardships Vriska did, but people still don't like her and she's still making similar mistakes to her predecessor!

Since they both see their flaws reflected in the other, things would be extremely uncomfortable at best and escalate to screaming hairpulling fights at worst. Both of them would be unable to make excuses for why they are the way they are any more ("I wouldn't be a bitch if I never had to feed Spidermom" and "my life would be so much better if I were a cool hero with amazing powers" no longer fly), and neither would deal with that very well at all.

Ellie is shocked to find that in comparison to Annie, she's a perfectly sociable and normal human being. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN EVEN WHAT IS THIS WHY IS THIS CHILD SO PRICKLY. All Ellie's weird qualities - cageyness, connecting to people best through violence, bluntness, etc etc - are all so much more pronounced in Annie that it's almost distressing for her to see. Especially since Annie is just sixteen, and when Ellie was sixteen she was a much happier person.

Annie, on the other hand, gets a brief pang of jealousy before her lack of imagination catches up with her and she can't actually accurately picture what it would be like to grow up in a world with no child soldier bullshit. She proceeds to Annieface at Ellie's careful probing and attempts to be "nice" (haha) until Ellie asks to see the Female Titan. Annie obliges - YAAAY SHOWING OFF YAAAYYY - and later they fight each other for funsies. Annie wins.

Sara's just like "This explains a lot actually."

Annie and Akane exchange high fives and recipes.

[part_time_overlord]

A PROPER demon lord would have Sam killed off immediately before he gains too much power. Maou would probably shoot the shit and be jealous that Sam has a bigger apartment (Since he doesn't live in Japan). He might EVENTUALLY get around to trying to deal with the competition, but it's not a high priority.

Sam, on the other hand, would be quietly freaking out in confusion. This guy is a demon lord!? But he ALSO works at McDonalds?

[ex_elude798]

New!Suzaku would hate Old!Suzaku for his failure to save everyone. Because that's such a reasonable goal.

Oldzaku would agree. And probably tell Newzaku to look out for pink princesses and prettyboy princes with fabulous hand gestures. Maybe pass on some genre savvy that was rather hard-earned.

So Newzaku might have an eventual, grudging appreciation for his other version. But he'd never want to turn out the same way. Ever. He will save everyone damnit.

Short version: he didn't really change at all.

[ Yeah I hope Eren doesn't mind getting gawked at for a bit. Because that's exactly what Tavia is doing. SO MUCH GAWKAGE, WITH A HINT OF LEER. A++.

At least she's not twerking, okay. She is on her best behaviour. And also maybe kind of wary because WOW SHE HAS ONLY HEARD BAD THINGS ]

Soooooooo.

How bout them titans.

[ BEST CONVERSATIONALIST EVERYONE ELSE GO HOME ]

[wirsinddiejager]

[GOOD JOB, TAVIA. HAVE A TROPHY.

Or just a confused and suspicious look. He knows future him is involved with you and that makes no sense to him.]

...What about them.

[shortspoken]

[ OH LOOK MORE GAWKING. Less "I am leering at you. Hello Not-Alan's butt, you are a very fine butt indeed" and more "YOU'RE A TITAN WOW WANNA SEE THAT TITAN" in Ellie's case, though.

She's. Not entirely sure if she should approach or not. Because, you know. That whole "I ate this guy, no seriously, I literally ate him" thing. So she's just going to. Skulk nearby. Quietly. Which isn't Annie-esque at ALL amirite wow ]

[drama8om8]

[ IS IT A PIZZA TROPHY I mean ]

They're. They sure are, uh.

[ FINGERGUNS TIME. Slightly nervous fingerguns covered up with a wobbly toothy grin! ]

Hotties.

 

 

Right? Because like. Warm? And.

Stuff.

[wirsinddiejager]

[Well, she's getting gawked right back. IT'S ANNIE ONLY NOT??? HOW IS HE SUPPOSED TO DEAL WITH THIS.

He keeps opening his mouth and closing it again, trying to think of something to say to her and failing. IT'S SUPER AWKWARD.]

[wirsinddiejager]

[EREN DOESN'T KNOW WHAT A PIZZA IS.



also she's just getting the flattest, least amused stare ever. JOKE DENIED.]

[shortspoken]

[ OKAY NO THIS IS EASIER TO DEAL WITH. Awkwards are Ellie's territory. This is a situation that she can kick in the face and take control of. Hell yes. ]

What?

[ She's doing That One Thing She Does. Where she's shorter than the person she's trying to snot at, so she leans back and looks down her magnificent nose at them that way. ]

You going to spit it out?

[wirsinddiejager]

[Oh, there's a familiar look. Not that that's going to make this any easier.]

This is just... really weird.

[wirsinddiejager]

[OH WOW THAT SURE IS A WEIRD ALIEN VERSION OF TAVIA

STAAAAAAAAARE]

[drama8om8]

Wow. Tough crowd. Do you have jokes where you come from? Like...

[ Okay okay jokes

Jokes Not-Alans would get

Jokes ]

Waity wait, got one! A soldier and a titan walk into a bar. "What can I get you?" says the barman.

"I'll have a beer," says the soldier. "And my titan friend here will haveAAAAAAAARGHGHHGHHGHRRHGH OH GOD I'M BEING DEVOUREDHSGHRHRHHHHGHRH."

 

 

 

The joke is that. You don't get titans in bars? And they like. Eat dudes.
