some ideas for ways to rp with a duplicate of the same muse - which aren’t twin aus! because twins are different people and one person will have to compromise their muse.
stream of consciousness— a paranoid or otherwise mentally troubled character (muse a) has an internal argument with themselves, whether that be a hallucinatory reflection (e.g. black swan) or the voice of their conscience (muse b). alternatively, a repressed character faces their inner demons or an embodiment of their worst self.
time travel— older version of a character (muse a) meets their younger self (muse b). could be physically travelling back in time and encountering themselves while attempting to change the past, or a more metaphorical journey like addressing trauma or a bad past self they want to grow away from and accept change. ( ‘what would you say to the ten-year-old you?’ )
judgement day— the day muse a dies, before they pass to the afterlife (or next destination of your choosing) they’re taken on a journey through the entirety of their life by a governing force, god of death, river styx boatman, or otherwise (muse b) which takes the form of muse a in an eerie, otherworldly, perfect way. together they trawl flashbacks of muse a’s life, muse a reflecting on them and muse b assessing, judging and questioning them in limbo.
codex— instead of interacting with one another, make a thread of diary entries, letters, texts, tweets, memoirs, documentations left behind of and by your shared muse. if your character is from a game, you could also do excerpts like codex entries - a conversation from two local girls about your muse, a pink slip from their last boss if they’re badly behaved, etc. flesh out your muse together through scraps.
npc— perhaps your muse’s parents/family, a deceased lover, or other people who made an impact on their life aren’t expanded on much in canon. develop your muse together, with one partner playing the npcs too small to make a blog for - their parents that you have detailed headcanons for but never get to write about, or strangers they had interesting conversations with on a train, or a one night stand.
synchronise— rather than writing a back and forth, collaborate on a drabble or fanfic, both writing the same character. get to know your partner’s writing style and portrayal and write together to bring to life a plot, scenario or otherwise you both have envisioned for a point or incident in your muse’s life. alternatively, write a scene / vignette each, building up a body of moments in your same muse’s life, rather than follow a linear plot.
