You and Rose ready your weapons and stick close to Dave as the Shadow laughs and transforms, a giant steel marionette in pointy broken shades, a heart painted on its chest, arms held up by strings, and you swore, if you looked for too long, you could see JPEG artefacts.
i am a shadow the true self
i will be blind to whatever i goddamn please

...Would... would it be possible for a few of the trolls to have their Shadows depicted like this too? If not, it's fine, I just thought I'd ask...

i think my favourite is rose's. the use of we/us made it so chilling to read, it was great. that's why it's great -- everything about it chills. certain lines in particular really pop in that regard, like If we had to murder whatever childhood and sense of fun we had, so be it. and How else would I know how much you blame everything around you for your faults, how you can't bear to be knocked from your pedestal, how scared you are of being hurt, how much you desperately want to be acknowledged and loved and how horribly self-centred and untrusting and vile and -
basically this is so good and i love everything about it <3

Dave is still jittery as they leave for the Land of Frost and Frogs, but he tells you that none of you have the time for any more bullshit. He just practices summoning Hephaestus once to get ready to kick Jade's Shadow's ass, and then you're off again.
You burst in and Jade almost shoves you straight back out.
g-guys! get out of here!!!
awwww no don't be so boring! everybody come in!! the more the merrier, huh?
Shadow Jade pulls her other self away from you, and smirks at you all, tilting her head to one side. She's in the fancy black and green dress she made, and there's something really disconcerting about the mean look on her face.
SHADOW JADE
don't mind her, guys! sit down, listen in, i was just talking about you!!
JADE
no no no shut up!!!
SHADOW JADE
hahahahaha!! oh man, look at you all wound up and embarrassed. i thought they were out best friends. i thought we could tell them anything. a-ny-thi-ng!
You decide Jade's Shadow is definitely the creepiest one.
SHADOW JADE
its no biggie, i was just talking about how tired i am of always running around after you three! sometimes a girl needs a break from your BULLSHIT PROBLEMS!!!
There's a moment of just utter stunned silence. Dave looks like he's just been punched in the stomach, and your expression probably isn't far off.
JADE
that's...that's not it. guys just don't listen to her, please.
SHADOW JADE
SHUT THE FUCK UP.
nobodys ever tried to help us nobodys ever offered to get us into the real world we were just left alone on that island with that fucking doll!! i'm expected to be all nice and sweet and mellow ALL THE FUCKING TIME.
JADE
just shut up, please.
SHADOW JADE
come on, jade. it's not like you're really so FUCKING CHIPPER ALL THE TIME. but if you ever showed them how angry you can get
o-or how sad boohoohoohoo
or how so very utterly lonely...
or how scared, how you sometimes just hide in your room at night when bec's away...
or any of that other pathetic bullshit they would have never ever stayed with you!
JOHN
jade that's not true!
DAVE
we would never have ditched you yo
Rose pinches you both on the arm and gives you both a stern glare.
SHADOW JADE
because the truth of the matter is that you hate yourself
you do and you would hate anybody else knowing
you hate anybody who reminds you of that part of yourself
you just hate hate hate under all of that FUCKING SUGAR.
JADE
shut up!!! you're a goddamn liar.
SHADOW JADE
aww don't be like that
can't deal with actually being more than a sunny little ball of fun?
admitting theres something darker behind that shitty anime cheeriness and those little hearts you sprinkle through your text, is that too hard for you?
JADE
stop it, stop it! this isn't funny!
SHADOW JADE
then again it's always been hard, hasn't it? you don't know how to be a real person. we never learned how to talk to people. So we just copy off our shitty baby tv shows or books we've read and pretend we have the tiniest FUCKING CLUE!
JADE
that's not true!! stop it, just stop it!! i'm not like that, i'm not you.
DAVE
oh here we go
SHADOW JADE
hahahahahahahaha
You get ready as the Shadow transforms, replaced with a long-haired blue lady, tentacles sprouting from her waist and masks in each hand, placing one on her face and cackling.
i am a shadow, the true self!!!
and i will show you every last side of me <3

You've been ignoring every message you've got, ever since you saw her kissing him. You've poured everything inside you into the game instead, drowning out those feelings in your work.
You stand before the Denizen's door, brace yourself for whatever may lie beyond it, and enter.
Hello There Dear
Pardon
You stare at the mirror image standing there, wearing a long, brightly coloured ballgown and a tiara in her hair.
SHADOW KANAYA
I Said Hello There Kanaya
Please Attempt To Clear The Wax From Your Ears And Listen More Attentively
Listening And Comforting Is Your Speciality After All
And I Have Oh So Much To Get Off My Chest
KANAYA
What Sort Of Trial Or Trick Is This
Nobody Mentioned Anything This Peculiar Happening In Their Encounters With Their Denizens
SHADOW KANAYA
Of Course They Didnt Dear
Of Course They FUCKING Didnt
She takes a step closer, and you stumble back, almost dropping your lipstick in the process.
SHADOW KANAYA
Nobody Quite Ever Tells You Anything Do They
Nothing Desirable At The Very Least Nothing That You Wish To Hear
Only Their Troubles And Woes Only The Things You Wish Desperately To Understand And Care About
But You Cannot
Can You Dear
KANAYA
This Discourse Is Quickly Heading Into An Area I Am Not Sure I Fully Comprehend However I Find It Is Making Me Distinctly Uncomfortable And Causing Me Much Internal Distress And As Such I Would Appreciate It If You Would -
SHADOW KANAYA
You Are Rambling Dear
Hiding Behind Those Pretty Little Words Again I See
Building Yourself A Castle Of Those Pathetic Little Synonyms And Polite Little Phrases To Hide In And Get Lost In Forever And Ever
KANAYA
I Am Doing Nothing Of The Sort
Quite Frankly I Am Struggling To Understand Your Nonsense In The Slightest
SHADOW KANAYA
You Understand Dear Please Do Not Lie
After All We Have Always Been Dreadful At Lying To Anybody Other Than Ourselves
KANAYA
I
SHADOW KANAYA
Telling Ourselves We Are Special
That We Are Like Our Beloved Rainbow Drinkers Or Heroines From Our Favourite Novels
Bold And Pretty And Loved Ladies Of The Sunlight
Much Better Than To Admit That You Are Just A Complete FUCKING FREAK
KANAYA
Stop This
SHADOW KANAYA
Princess Kanaya Of Prospit
Queen Kanaya Of The Sun And Desert
We Live A Blessed Light Under Our Sun Do We Not
KANAYA
This Is Absurd A Fantasy At Most A Mere Fabrication In An Attempt To Frighten Or Intimidate Me
SHADOW KANAYA
Living In Our Little Palace Of Coloured Cloth Reading Our Novels And Painting Our Lips For Nobody To See
Making Clothes Nobody Will Ever Wear And Poetry Nobody Will Ever Read
Fantasising About Loves We Can Never Have And Stories We Will Never Be A Part Of
KANAYA
Stop It Stop It Stop It
SHADOW KANAYA
You Are A FREAK
You Are Lonely And Unloved
Nobody Cares About Poor Little Kanaya Nobody Is Riding In To Save Poor Little Kanaya Nobody Even Thinks Twice About Poor Little Kanaya
Even Our Moiraillegiance With Her Has Been Dead In The Fucking Water For Sweeps
KANAYA
STOP IT
SHADOW KANAYA
But We Held On And Held On Too Frightened And Cowardly To Tell Her Why We Clung So Desperately To This Faded Shredded Rag Of A Moiraillegience
And It All Came To Naught As Usual
Because She Never Loved Us To Begin With
Because Nobody Can Care About Me Quite As Much As I Can Care About Them
We Are Pathetic And Lonely And Useless And So So Bitter And Angry And You Know It You Know It You Know It So Much It Hurts
KANAYA
SHUT UP! It Has Never Been As You Have Described It
I Am Not Like You
I Am Not You
She laughs and grins, baring fangs as macabre glow takes over her body. In a snap, she is replaced by the figure of a glowing woman curled up around herself and wrapped in bright, glittering rags, surrounded by a swirling shield of torn books.
I Am A Shadow The True Self
And I Do Not Deserve Anything I Desire
