Kaki King and the urge to merge
I really want to like Kaki King but I’m decidedly ‘meh’ about her. However, why did I never notice that she is identical to Emy? This creeps me out. Especially since Sara and Kaki dated and according to Christel, there’s rumours that she cheated on Emy (bad Sara, bad!!) with Kaki. That makes no sense. It’s like cheating on a Quin with the other one. And Emy and Sara kind of look alike anyway. They’re all basically merged. Freaks.
Sara makes a cameo appearance in Kaki’s Pull Me Out Alive. I like the light effects in the video and it has an interesting style, but that’s about all. It sounds like way more work went into creating the video than the end product reflects.

Yeah, if Sara, Emy and Hilary Swank all had a baby, it would look like Kaki King.
This has gotten me thinking about the psychology behind the urge to merge. I’d blame narcissism except that it seems to usually happen after a couple gets together, they slowly (or swiftly) blend into each other. It doesn’t generally start off like that, from what I can tell. I wonder if that’s a correct assumption.
It makes me wonder. Are we attracted to people like us? It makes sense, we like things and would like them on others. For example, while I have no discernable ‘type’, I’m usually attracted to the tomboy look. Which is also how I dress myself. However, I don’t think I’d find myself attracted to me. I like my personality, but I think someone with the same neuroses and quirks probably wouldn’t mesh that well with me. The closest I might get to on that is body type. I’ve dated girls of every height and weight and I’m most comfortable with one similar to my own. But that’s because skinny chicks are no fun to cuddle and a girl too short or tall is hard to get around. I’m not visually attracted to it, I’m just saying I know it’s nicer in a relationship.
Of course we pick up habits from each other and end up passing our interests to our partners, but that doesn’t explain why two people’s looks will suddenly start reflecting each other. Aside from a sweatshirt here or there, I’ve never found myself wanting to emulate my partner just because I was attracted to them. Is that what it comes down to? Seeing the hotness in your other half and unconsciously recreating that on yourself to try to be as hot as them?
I dunno. I should probably get some sleep.
