Don't all of you?

Personally, I hope that Haley's imaginary personifications come back at some point, or even better, we get to see somebody else's imaginary personifications! :smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin:

Gee, I wonder if different people's imaginary personifications can see each other? :smallconfused:

They're best where they are -- in the past.

Durkon won't have them, he's much to straight forward a character. All you'd get would be a load of stereotyped dwarves. Sort of had it with Elan (the consciences) and Belkar (conscience again+ Shojo). Roy seems much too sensible for that sort of thing and in a way his father fills that sort of role. Not sure about V, he's had major character development recently so who knows it could happen.

Can you imagine the intellect portion of V's brain?

Although V's "conscience" would be interesting, and her "self-loathing" would have a lot of material by this point.

And just imagine the "romance" portion. How many non-gender-specific pronouns would that manifested personality trait have to use? :smalltongue:

In a way I guess the soul splices brought out all the sorts of emotions shown by the personifications. Or the negative parts at least. Remember the splice doesn't effect alignment so everything we saw was what V wanted to do, even if it was only deep down

Elan probably wouldn't mind meeting "Latent Bisexuality" :smallwink:

I'd have thought the imaginary personifications existed in the first place because Haley couldn't speak to anyone and needed someone to communicate with - whether or not they actually exist. The characters might remain in her mind, but I doubt we'll see anyone else's. At least not in the same way.

All I can imagine for "romance" V is normal V, possibly with different hair. After that my brain shuts down. :smalltongue:

Edit: Oh, and smiling, 'cause normal V hardly ever does that.

Yes, yes I miss them much. I hope to meet them more during the way, but the way she dismissed her self-loathing when the boat left probably means they won't come again, sadly.

Yeah, I'm sort of a similar opinion.

I think that the personifications where a sign that Haley wasn't exactly mentally healthy at the time. I take their disappearance from the strip as a sign that Haley resolved most, if not all, of those problems.

I thought it was quite symbollic that she now looks like "That part of Haleys brain that wants to stop all this emo crap and get back to comedy"

Self-loathing did show up (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0483.html) after she got her speech back, though. It was pretty brief, since she needed to be shut down hard there.

I wouldn't think so. They exist only in the brain of the person imagining them, in the manner of a hallucination. There are recorded instances of group hallucinations, but its unlikely a group of people could perfectly imagine each others thoughts.

And not particularly, Self-loathing was good but I was apathetic to the rest of them.
