What would your shadow say, Cred Forums?

closeted gay?

>"You're just a terrible fucking person overall."

>Faker? I think you're the fake hedgehog around here. You're comparing yourself to me? Hah, you aren't even good enough to be my fake!

>you're actually a pretty normal dude, complete average in every way possible,you're not original, you don't want to kill yourself and you actually want to be friends with chad
n... NO that's not me

> You're not me!

youtu.be/dpzbr3vCBjw

You're right, I am a piece of shit loser with no job and no girlfriend that kill myself and yes that is the reason as to why I play games

I still want a persona though

>"talented but lazy" is just an excuse for being too scared to go out and do anything

< here's your Persona, user

>Why are you wasting away your Sunday installing Skyrim mods and playing video games when you can be shitposting on Cred Forums?

Something like
>I'm a manlet
And shit yeah I knowe senpai, big deal, where the persona @?

>still playing Skyrim

gr..great, what skills does it ...uh.. have?

does it have the ability to extract my life from this world?

it knows that feel

bend over

"We shall fuck now. Assume the position, my true self."

Mine would probably say that just to mess with me, since I'm pretty open about my flaws.

>I fap to traps

"..."

Is masturbating to lolicon really morally justifiable?

Would a shadow work against a self-loathing faggot like the average Cred Forumsirgin ?

>You can't deny it... you wish you were a trap. You've always felt as if you'd be loved much more. But no, you'll never be loved. Never! Whether a feminine boy or masculine boy, you have no chance with anyone.
>I am a shadow, the true self... If no one wants to love me now... Then nobody ever will!

sure it would

hating yourself because of flaws A, B, and C doesn't imply that there aren't flaws D, E, and F that you haven't accepted yet, and the shadow could still attack those.

>who is Adachi?

Sorry but I didn't play Plebsona 4 ? What happens with Adachi exactly ?

>"You put on an act of being aloof and disinterested to hide how you really feel. You look at the people around you and you see adults. They know what they're doing. They have everything under control. Except you. There must have been a book you were supposed to read, a class you were supposed to take, that would teach you how to be an adult. And now you feel like a child, lost somewhere you aren't supposed to be, surrounded by people who would look at you in pity if they knew how helpless and inept you really are. So she shut them all out, and pretend you're okay, but you're not. It's eating away inside at you, because at your very core, you are terrified of having to grow up. Don't try to deny it. I know it's true. I know, because I'm you."

Or something like that.

Just do it and post boipussy

but then wouldn't the self loathing faggot just go"oh yeah I guess I also have flaws like D E and F "

>"Now neither of us will be virgins!"

It would probably just berate me for being a self-loathing faggot that pretends to be friendly with everyone, and talk shit about how I refuse to act on any of the violent thoughts I have about the people I hate who have fucked me over.

maybe in private, but in front of strangers? not likely, the embarrasment would become overwhelming.

keep in mind that self-loathing =/= wearing your flaws on your sleeve. you can still be too ashamed to admit to others that those parts of yourself exist, even if you acknowledge them in private and hate yourself for them

Then would a shadow work on an autistic person without any self-awareness, like Chris-chan?

...

>You hate everything. Everything! Why can't you just kill yourself if you're so sick of everything? You complain, complain, and complain, but do nothing to fix yourself. You're so whiny! Better yet, you have the audacity to try to act like you've got a better life than other people. Is that a joke?

Chris-Chan's shadow would probably just be Sonichu as an obese, stuttering, autistic mess. Chris views Sonichu as some heroic, alpha figure, and so the Shadow would just be showing Chris Sonichu as the outside world sees Sonichu instead of how he himself sees him

There was a poster on Cred Forums that actually said somethings I'd probably deny.

Before I even clicked the submit button telling him he's wrong, I figured I'd probably be fighting a shadow now.

Can't remember the exact post though.

fallout 4 is actually a good game

YOU LIE

I am a shadow, the true Self

That's actually perfect.

what type of person would have Pepe as their shadow?

>[muffled reach out to the truth]

I would probably just accept my shadow or wouldn't have onhonestly. I already understand and accept I'm a douchebag and a lazy fuck afraid of living and afraid of dying and stuck in the limbo of existential crisis and depression.

>reach out to the truth
>boss theme

Australians and white supremacists.

my shadow would fucking wreck me, i am a mess even though i look like the average normalfag

>YOU'RE A DOODYFACE

Deepshit desu ignore my blogpost

>Cred Forums
>The ps4 is a good console
>I'm just sick of Sony winning all the time.

People know you're not smart, user. There is just nothing else they could possibly think to compliment you on.

>let's 69

THOSE AREN'T MY WORDS

>if only you had friends, we don't need friends senpai, just us

What if Chris-chan accepts the shadow ?
What would his Persona be ?

>I like turtles

Underrated post right here.

It would probably say something along the line of "I'm so fucking gay and i should wear dresses" fucking hell i would never get my persona

Sonichu obviously

>implying that Chris-chan would ever willingly accept his shadow
would you be willing to wade through the horrors of Chris-Chan's dungeon to save him?

>You're waifu isn't real.

It would tell all my buddies that I post on Cred Forums and I would be simply unable to accept that it was a part of me in front of them

that's actually a really sick burn, user

too bad that you're just repeating what others said in another thread because you have 0 talent and can only mooch off others' achievements

>I only use women for pleasure, hahahahahaha!!!
Then all the girls in my party would think I'm an alpha male and I'd get so much pussy

gym teacher pls

...

And even if i did it would be some cross dressing femboy cat furry

>IT enters a person's dungeon to rescue them from the TV
>take one look inside
>walk out and abandon the guy to his fate
>never speak of it again
what did they see?

"You're not an intelligent nigger and never will be! Focus on the simple joys of life instead seeking political power. You'll change lives for the better that way"

but Obama, you're already president!

...

>he summons his persona by squeezing the sonichu medallion in his hand
GO, AND ZAP TO THE EXTREME

>mazionga

is it possible to have a persona that you hate? as in, a persona that you look at and go OH GOD WHY IT'S SO UGLY

Nah, a Persona is the facade you put on for others to see, your Shadow is the ugly part of you that you don't want to see. Your Persona will always be something you find visually appealing.

if that's true, does that imply that Yosuke has the shittiest aesthetic taste in the whole universe?

Yosuke has cheesy taste and wants to come off as a superhero, so yes. If you've seen his room from Arena it's filled with really lame shit.

my shadow would basically be owlman
it doesn't matter

>distant from family and no real emotional connections beyond superficial ones
>Occasionally try to better myself but never finish because I have no motivation
>have no idea where to focus my efforts in life,want to make money but at the same time want to follow my passions and work for myself.

Something nice about me.

That's the only thing it could say that I wouldn't be able to accept.

nothing, I'll put my cock in his mouth the second he opens it.

>humblebragging when asked about your deepest insecurities

what happens when it bites down?

I will scream
and probably cry

Look at you. Always alone and trying to put the tough "I don't need anyone act" You are desperate to prove yourself but you can't get past even your owns lies.

And that is why your entire life is a lie. You couldn't manage one single truth even if you tried. You want to be the good guy in your own story but you don't even have a single party member.

You are broken, perverted, and ugly. Yet you still cling to the fact you are a good person. You can't even make a single friend.

That's the difference between Your own shadow and you. I can admit how shallow I am. You can't even end the lies to realize why you always hurt those around you and then just blame them.

"I love Cred Forums!"

I don't think I would have a shadow. I accepted everything about myself.

what would Bojack Horseman's shadow be?

>You want to fuck all three of your sisters and you get off to femdom and futa

>You're not smart but lazy. You're just lazy.

What's a better method of self-actualization? A shadow who spells everything wrong out for you, or Silent Hill? I feel like either would be worth it to become a better person

Inherently, if you believe in the Jungian and, by proxy, Freudian thought that pervades Personas and shadows, the only reason you think that is because of the multitude of defense mechanisms your unconscious has.

being lazy isn't a very smart thing to do

If you've ever had to study for a test, you're an idiot.

I could have gone to Harvard or Yale, but homework grades always fucked me over.

So a persona could potentially be a monstergirl

Something about being a tranny, though I've already overcome that hurdle in my life and started transitioning well over a year ago.

Maybe. I'd love to believe that there's still something to be found within my mind.

...

post pics you fucking faggot

Thanks.

having determination and a strong work ethic is a component of "smartness"

literal mental illness desu senpai

>You're completely dead inside.
>You also want to be a cute girl.

nothing because i accept i'm trash

/thread

Alt version :
>You're completely a cute girl inside.
>You also want to be dead.

>user, you're actually a decent person you know?

I mean he'd hit:
>How I undermine everything going for me due to fear to make that jump to move forward in life
>How masturbation for me has lost it's touch since I consumed so much it bores me now.
>How I'm a shit friend who not only ignores his friends but rejects making new friends by just not trying to contact them.

...

I like that my brother killed my mother because it means I didn't have to keep fighting him. I also helped kill her that night I didn't respond to the banging, and there will never be anything that will wipe that sin clean.

Oh and probably that I'm asexual. Scary!

>Let's get a job and start treating women with respect.

What a faggot; he would definitely have to die.

>no one likes you
ok
>no really you're a piece of shite that wouldn't be missed by anyone
ok
>fuck

And that's how I got best persona mara

well, my shadow probably would be a murderous lunatic affixated with scat, futanari and loli.

But user I really am superior, I just
Fuck

Here's a (you) attention whore
Now go kill yourself

Yeah but Adachi gets one on his own and fully accepts his faults

Most likely would go like this:
>You are not as good of a person as you think you are.
>You hide all of your fuck-ups, and wrongdoings you made in the past, just so you can convince yourself that you are a good person.
>You hate how bland, and uninteresting your life is, yet you take no steps in order to fix yourself, or lead a more fulfilling life.
>Too much of a coward to stand up for yourself when you are threatened, or mistreated, but then feel like shit afterwards when you couldn't do anything
>It's just an endless cycle of self-pity, and hiding your insecurities, pretending to like yourself, which will just go on until you get old, and even when you finally get over it, your youth will be over, and you will just die, fulfilling nothing in your life.
>You wonder why girls don't like you, but are too much of a socially inept retard to even think about approaching them, and when one comes to you, you are too goddamn stupid to realize it, and just brush her off.
>It's funny how much you try to convince yourself that you will make something out of your life, like you are entitled to it or something, but you will just end up like so many, living a pointless and mundane life, doing nothing of value to yourself, living miserably, and constantly wondering "Why didn't I do something when I had the chance?"
>N-none of that is true...
>"But you do know it's true, for I am you, and you are me."
Or something like that.
Or would it say something different because thats what I think I would hide from myself, and what I really think is totally different? Kinda interesting really.

Good job, user.

Here's your (persona).

Bump so I can post my shadow

>"you know I just don't work hard enough? I don't even bother to live up to my potential, because im such a weak willed little shit!"
>You treat everyone around you like they're not worth your time and put on a mask to hide your insecurity but fail to see that others can accept you for who you are. But you don't want to accept anyone because your a lazy coward who doesn't even know what friendship is!
And honestly it's all true. I'm still trying but it's hard when I can't find anyone who shares my hobbies who I think is a decent person but maybe it's because of me stereotyping most people my age as retarded Liberals like my parents are but far less understanding.

There's a whole mess of things I'd be unable to admit in public.

>Check out this fat fuck highschool dropout who molested his own sister
>You freeloaded off your own cancer-ridden depressed mother for what, how many years?
>You can't make this up, folks. Homosexual tendencies, pedophile fantasies, chronic liar, and you should see some of the fucked up shit in his porn folder.
>Go on, deny it. I dare you.

Being the scum of mankind kinda opens you up to accusations a bit.

Thing is, Persona3/4 is full of the victim. People who haven't really done anything wrong, who just perceive themselves to be different.

You need some fucking skeletons in the closet to get to the stage where you'd willingly give a demon power to deny shit. To be a bad man who has done bad things.

A bunch of shit about being unemployed, wanking to little chinese cartoongirls and escapism in form of videogames no doubt.

Wouldn't even need to fight him since it's all true anyway.

Good shit.

Why would you so these things user? And I thought I was the fucked one. (Though having weird porn isn't something bad, unless it's illegal shit)

Something like this.

So what if I have acknowledged every undesirable part of myself and even though am not at peace with it, am too lazy to change and am content to live with said parts?

My shadow would be probably the same as Kanji's but in drag and with a full beard

Crippling depression has already led me to accept and be pretty honest and open about the worst parts of myself, I just also happen to be a giant faggot who wants to be cute and helpful for someone despite being a 6'3" skelly with dense body hair and a sweat/BO complex even though I don't really smell like anything most of the time

>You know that way too many people are dumbasses who don't consider the world from anyone's perspective but their own while reflecting on everyone else's behavior through their own lens. However, this is a way to compensate for the fact that you have no perspective on life beyond the metaphorical cage that your batshit insane mother held you in.
>If it weren't for your bitterness about your mistreatment as a child, you'd probably just become a complete monster instead of just being "altruistic" as a replacement for revenge on your parents, "revenge" by "showing them how to treat people" while having no capacity nor impetus to save anyone but yourself. I remember all the times you got angry and wished you could nuke the whole world. If you weren't a beaten dog, you'd be a monstrosity instead. You know and accept that you'll never be "normal", which is fine in many cases, but in yours it's submission to reality. Instead of facing your demons, you're going to curl up and die.

>I can't believe you just ate a whole box of fucking Mallowmars

>You are pathetic, you are literally gonna thorw your life away just because you are a lazy son of a bitch who doesn't want to make something out of life, you a following the easy path, instead of fight you have already given up, but you are hopping for a miracle to happen, to finally leave all behind, well keep thinking that but it will not happen, you think you have friends but you are alone, and you know it too well. Sad thing about you is that you sorta accept all these things, but go on believing the lies just to not hurt yourself.
You are a piece of shit who does not deserves the family you got

I guess I'm that kind of special snowflake that doesn't have a shadow.

I genuinely cant think of what they'd say because I've pretty much accepted all the shitty parts of me. I'm very self-aware

If anything, the negative aspects of my personality stem from me being TOO aware of my downfalls
Thinking I dont deserve happiness because Im not perfect.

But then, I'm aware of that, Im working on it

So I guess I wouldn't have a shadow at all. Thats fucking boring

>tfw ADHD is underdiagnosed and attributed to malice instead of addressed because the public perception of it is an absurd stereotype that only applies to half of children who have it and manifests itself completely differently regardless, leading innocent people to self-hatred and depression

Something about me giving up on life and not taking any risks or steps to better myself. Also some stuff about how I can't accept my situation in life so I drown out with vidya.

Probably something about my omorashi fetish and delusions of grandeur. Idk

Are there any good places to find Persona fanfics. The best I could find on my own was this fic but you can only read it so many times
archiveofourown.org/works/342591/chapters/555592#main

>Deleting your post only to add a shitty thumbnail image
But why?

I don't know, is my shadow supposed to be the bad me or the natural me?

So people would actually answer my question. If I attach a picture it makes the post much less likely to be dust in the wind.

It's sorta supposed to be the part of you that you don't want to admit, be it to either yourself, or other people. Usually it's about the bad parts, but I guess it could also be good too, depending on the person.

>It's sorta supposed to be the part of you that you don't want to admit

That's what I thought, the problem is I kinda admit everything bad/shameful that I can be, I just don't pursue that road because I think following morals will do better for me and I'll get more rewards out of it (kinda like karma). But my mind is so fucked up my "morals" reach retarded levels of obtuse.

Would be a cool experience talking to my shadow anyway.

>You say you're accepting. You say you don't like telling people how to live their lives. You say you want peace, but really you have strong opinions, don't you? The only reason you say such things is because in your uncompromising, idealistic nature you've gone with the only thing that can reconcile and make peace with these qualities; a polar opposite devil-may-care attitude that has given up on the world.
>And what if the people around were to find out? About the things you dislike, the things you HATE? If they really knew you, they'd tear you apart for the things they should be hating about you. But they will never know, because you've shut yourself off from trying to be open about your point of view and what you want. You sicko. Pervert. Hypocrite.
