Question of the Day: Clones

[community profile] questionoftheday asks: How do you think you would get along with clones of yourself? Would your clones be able to get along with each other?

My answer: I have thought about this way too much! Like, I have an unrevised novel draft about, well, not clones technically, but alternate universe versions of a person all stuck together because reasons.

In my case, we would probably fight ceaselessly, because I am really bad about despising other people when they share my flaws. My self-hatred runs so deep, it comes out as hatred of others. Charming!

That being said, I suspect we would all hit the point of saying to each other: look, can we all just shut up and cuddle? We are all dying of skin hunger, so let's just...deal with that for a while, yeah? But seriously, no talking right now. After that, we might have a chance in hell of having a real and useful conversation and making efforts to take care of each other. Because who else is going to?
