How would they react to meeting another version of themself from an alternate universe?
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT QUESTIONS. // @chibitantei
For the entertainment of it, I'm picturing an interaction between modern farm Butch and OG Butch and,,, it's fucking hilarious.
Considering the fact that farm Butch takes on many traits of his fathers after having stayed on the farm and spending his whole life around him rather than running off with Darlene, main verse Butch would despise him. I think he would be horrified in fact at how much this version of himself actually looks like his father. On top of that, Farm Butch is repressed, defensive, and sheltered in many ways--in ways I think main Butch would find annoying. Not only that but farm Butch is far from the sharpest tool in the shed. Mad himbo energy.
He has the tendency to be a bit misogynistic at times as well (despite knowing any woman could probably kick his ass at the drop of a hat) courtesy of hearing his fathers shit opinions growing up and can be a bit...ignorant when it comes to lgbtq+ matters if only because he was raised by a man who enforced that he repress those parts of himself. Main Butch would find this behaviour (especially from himself) ridiculous and cowardly rather than comedic in any way. The hypocrisy would make him cringe and he would be thanking the heavens that he got trapped in that book for over a hundred years instead of turning out like that.
