People you've been before that you don't want around anymore

Soujirou Katsuki 9/24 near Tisse

Okay so... something came to light earlier this month, and I've been thinking a lot about it. I'm still so confused about it though, so I thought I'd ask everyone else here (^^ゞ If you found out that you were someone super famous like... idk George Washington or smth in the memories you're getting... what would you do about it? Haha I know this sounds super silly. I mean, it sounds like a ploy for attention or something, I guess? (´～｀ヾ) But I'm actually kind of freaked out about it... Like, would you all want to find out "spoilers" about what your memories are probably going to be like? Or would you avoid it? If it's awful... I don't think I want to know more... …φ(。。*)

dude ur famous? can u get me into the vip section?

[spes_phthisica]

if I did, I'd probably just sound like that weird aunt who insists that they were Cleopatra in a previous life? |▽//)ゝ
I also don't think that works if you're not a famous person right now haha

[me_matey]

then say u they cousin.

it might work!

[imaginex]

From what everyone's told me, there's no dodging the memories... so maybe reading up on your past self would give you a way to brace for them?

... Though I admit I just ignore everything until it blows up in my face, so. Easier said than done, I'm sure.

[spes_phthisica]

that would probably be the sensible thing to do yeah -_-''
but I'm kind of like you like that, I guess...
I'm going to have to remember the awful things anyway, so I don't want to have to think about them until there's no choice, I guess.

[Since he already knows what this is about and has Nothing Of Value to add, t least not over the network:]

found a new crepe place i think you might like
want me to bring you one later today?

[spes_phthisica]

yes please
nutella and fruit and cream and chocolate and caramel please
you probably think that's gross but you're just wrong

[wordcarvings]

It doesn't sound that silly.

I think that the other me was a poet, or something. I'm not convinced but it seems like it. Though probably by another name. I don't know what to think about it yet and nobody can tell how you're supposed to feel, either. Maybe it'll get better in a while, or at least feel less..weird.. eventually.

[spes_phthisica]

the other me was a warrior, so... yeah, I'm getting a lot of memories that I don't want to think too much about.
it scares me to think that maybe there are worse things to come, you know?
and now I could easily find out and for some reason that's just even more upsetting...

[commandertoolbelt]

well i don't know if i was famous or anything but some of the stuff in my memories is pretty well known
so i guess i'd look up spoilers? idk
it was the past right?
it doesn't make much of a difference now

[spes_phthisica]

so you remember distinct historical events?
isn't it a bit scary to think about knowing beforehand what memories you might get next?
I mean even if it's in the past we still have to remember it

[matchbreaker]

Honestly, I'd be researching it. That said, I didn't think people could be historical sorts like that, wasn't everyone from weird fantasy worlds or something?

[spes_phthisica]

I don't remember anything like that, though.
no monsters, no strange super powers, nothing. just old-timey clothes and buildings and fighting with swords, things like that.
and... I remembered a name. and when my friend googled it, he was a real person and it all fits together with the memories I already got （´・｀）

[admiringly]

soujirou?
i think it depends if you think you really want to become that person or not
because you should still be the you you are here but you don't have to be 100% the person you are in your memories
but if you feel scared i don't feel like you should push yourself until you're calm and ready for it

[spes_phthisica]

I definitely don't want to become that person.
I mean, I think I understand why he was the way he was, but... I don't actually want to be some kind of warrior, you know?
I'm not sure if I'm hoping that I'll get more used to these memories with time, or if that's what I'm really afraid of. I mean, it's not the kind of thing anyone should be used to.

[ladytakamaki]

Wow...were you some kind of celebrity in your past life?
But like Chiyo said, you don't have to be that person. You just need to be who you want to be. Your memories don't make you who you are today.

[spes_phthisica]

apparently? I don't actually know that much Japanese history haha (^▽^;) but it seems like he was kind of a big deal.
thank you... it's hard to tell the difference sometimes, you know? the new memories feel just as real as my old ones.

[chessking]

are you talking more like. pop culture celebrities type of famous or are you leaning more towards the historical figure type?

i mean it also depends on the kind of history that you're looking at, right? Britannia exists in my memories but not in current incarnations of world history, so I suppose the famous people would also be different.

[spes_phthisica]

definitely more historical figure. I didn't even know he was important until I had a friend google the name... I just knew that he was some kind of samurai.

so what you remember is like an alternate universe to this one? weird (⊙_☉)

[evidentiary]

I would do as much research as possible on that person.

[spes_phthisica]

what would you use that research for?
all I can come up with is predicting what I'm going to remember next at some point.

[sotenbori]

could end up being bad news

[ since they talked about how he was a samurai, before. those stories were badass but didnt usually end with "and then they grew old and lived happily ever after" ]

[spes_phthisica]

yeah that's what I'm worried about
like... is there really a point to sitting around going "so I guess that awful thing is going to be up next at some point"?
also maybe it's a bit silly, but I'm a bit afraid to find out that previous me really turned out to be an awful person or somehting

[lastcomfort]

Then I'd have a wig for my wig and a brain for my heart!

I haven't seen any of these visions yet, but does this mean you've seen something to make you wonder if you were George Washington?

[spes_phthisica]

I'm not sure how I'd feel about kicking people apart though （≧ｙ≦＊）
and I'd save all the children

but not actually Washington, no. he just seems to have been about as famous in Japan? idk, I'm terrible at Japanese history.
