#Body Double

[infamous-if]

Was thinking about 7 and started to wonder what it would be like romancing them as someone other than MC.

...then i remember your other game 😭

lololol body double is still a thing I’ve just been working on it bit by bit secretly since I’m kind of protective of it! unlike infamous this has plot and fictional lore so I’ve been just chipping away at it

I didn’t know I can make characters that are more emotionally inept than the infamous cast but the body double cast may have them beat pfft

except for seven. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to write a character as emotionally complicated as seven lmao

#inbox #body double #delete later since I want to keep them separate

Dictators body double, part two

As Ivan continued to acclimate to his new physique, the alterations in his appearance grew more profound. The change in his eye color to a darker hue was startling, a stark deviation from the man he used to see in the mirror. His hair loss further accentuated the transformation, bringing him closer to Alexi's appearance. Adjusting to his new center of gravity proved challenging; the significant weight gain and reduced height altered his posture and movement, making even standing a task that required effort and adaptation.Despite these challenges, Ivan marveled at the rapid pace of his recovery, facilitated by the advanced tools, technologies, and machines at his disposal. The physical changes were astonishing, but they also deepened the internal conflict he faced. As he stared at his reflection, the man looking back at him was a stranger. Each day, Ivan grappled with the loss of his former self, mourning the identity that was systematically being erased. Yet, amidst this turmoil, a realization crystallized within him: survival in this new role demanded complete assimilation into Alexi. Resistance, whether internal or external, was not an option if he wished to avoid consequences far graver than the physical pain he endured.The transformation extended beyond his appearance to his very preferences and habits. Ivan noticed a shift in his cravings, now desiring foods he had never been inclined toward before, a testament to the depth of his psychological conditioning.By the fifth month, as Ivan's mobility improved and he began to walk with more confidence, the physical resemblance to Alexi was uncanny. His hair, now thinned considerably, mirrored Alexi's receding hairline closely. However, the transformation was not yet complete. The second phase of operations loomed ahead, focusing on refining details that would perfect his mimicry of the dictator. These surgeries would adjust his ears and vocal cords, among other minor tweaks, enhancing his ability to emulate Alexi's speech patterns and further aligning his physical attributes with those of the dictator. These were the changes that, while subtle to the naked eye, would solidify his deception, ensuring that even those closest to Alexi would be none the wiser.As Ivan prepared for this next series of surgeries, he understood that these adjustments were the final pieces of the puzzle, the last steps in erasing the physical remnants of his former self. The emotional and psychological journey, however, was far from over. With each alteration, Ivan had to reconcile the man he was becoming with the memory of the man he once was. This internal conflict, coupled with the physical transformation, underscored the complexity of his mission. Ivan was not just adopting Alexi's appearance; he was absorbing his identity, a process that challenged the very core of his being. Ivan had to morn his own death.

Seven months into the transformation process, Ivan had reached a stage where the boundary between himself and Alexi had not just blurred—it had all but disappeared. The second phase of surgeries had further alienated him from the man he used to be, with his physical appearance now drastically altered. Waking up heavier, shorter, and with significantly less hair, Ivan found himself in a state of shock each time he caught his reflection. The face staring back at him was Alexi's, a testament to the precision and effectiveness of the surgeries and conditioning he had undergone.The moment of truth arrived a week after the surgeries, when Ivan spoke for the first time. The voice that emerged was raspy, a byproduct of the recent adjustments to his vocal cords, but unmistakably Alexi's. This development, while still in its healing phase, was more comforting than alarming, a sign of how deeply the psychological conditioning had taken root. Ivan's identity, once firmly his own, had been systematically dismantled and reconstructed in the image of the dictator.The realization that he was no longer acting, that barking orders at the staff felt as natural as breathing, was a profound one. Ivan had embodied the role of Alexi so completely that the distinction between performance and reality had vanished. This was not mimicry; it was a total assumption of identity, facilitated by an intricate blend of medical, psychological, and technological interventions.Seven months into the process, the transformation was on track, aligning perfectly with the timeline laid out by those orchestrating this unprecedented mission. Ivan had become a living testament to the lengths to which the regime was willing to go to protect its leader, sacrificing one man's identity to create a perfect shield for another.As Ivan continued to recover and adapt to his new voice and appearance, the preparations for his public debut as Alexi's double intensified. Every detail of his behavior, speech, and interactions was scrutinized and fine-tuned, ensuring that when the time came, Ivan would be indistinguishable from the dictator he was impersonating.This period of recovery and adjustment was not just about healing from the surgeries; it was about solidifying Ivan's transformation, both internally and externally. The man who had entered this program, driven by duty and perhaps a sense of patriotism, had been systematically deconstructed and rebuilt as a tool of the regime, a doppelgänger poised to step into the spotlight and assume the most dangerous role of his life: that of Alexi, a dictator feared and reviled in equal measure.The journey had taken a toll on Ivan, not just physically but emotionally and psychologically. Yet, as he stood on the brink of completing his transformation, Ivan understood that there was no going back. He was Alexi now, in every way that mattered, ready to fulfill his mission and protect the regime at the cost of his own identity.

Throughout the intensive and transformative process, the distinction between Ivan and Alexi dissolved to the point where Ivan—now referred to solely as Alexi—accepted and even embraced his new identity. The regimen designed to accelerate his weight gain continued, pushing him to consume more, and the habits once foreign to him, smoking cigars and drinking vodka, had become parts of his daily routine. The demands he started making, such as requesting high-quality custom suits, were not just imitations of Alexi's preferences but had become his own. The blurring of identities was complete; Ivan had ceased to exist in any meaningful way, replaced by the persona of Alexi, a testament to the depth of his transformation.When the real Alexi met with his body double a few weeks after the surgery, the dictator was visibly pleased with the outcome. Despite the lingering swelling, the resemblance was uncanny. A few minor adjustments remained—such as darkening the hair to match Alexi's shade more closely—but it was clear that the mission was nearing a successful completion. The dictator's approval was a significant milestone, an affirmation that the painstaking efforts to craft a perfect double had paid off.As the ninth month approached, the ultimate test loomed on the horizon. The newly transformed Alexi would be put through a series of public appearances and interactions designed to test the effectiveness of the transformation in real-world scenarios. This would not only assess the physical resemblance but also the ability to replicate Alexi's demeanor, speech patterns, and overall presence. The stakes were incredibly high, as any mistake could potentially expose the operation and put both the real Alexi and his double in grave danger.The anticipation of this test weighed heavily on the new Alexi. While he had fully embraced his role, the reality of stepping into the public eye as the dictator carried with it an immense pressure. The psychological conditioning and physical transformation had prepared him for this moment, but the true test would be how he handled the unpredictable nature of real-world interactions. Success would mean the culmination of months of grueling transformation and the ultimate validation of the regime's ambitious project. Failure was not an option, neither for the new Alexi nor for the powers orchestrating this elaborate deception.As the ninth month arrived, the tension was palpable. The new Alexi, ready to be unveiled to the world, was a masterpiece of modern science and psychological engineering, a creation designed to protect and perpetuate the rule of one of the most feared dictators of the time. The upcoming public appearances were not just a test of one man's ability to impersonate another; they were a testament to the lengths to which a regime would go to maintain power and control, using technology, medicine, and sheer will to create an indistinguishable double of its leader. The world was about to witness the unveiling of a new Alexi, a man who had ceased to exist as himself and had been reborn as the embodiment of another's tyranny.

[reflections-in-a-critical-eye]

top ten first watches of 2023?

I assume you mean films, right? Anyway, top 10 in no particular order.

Crash was a long time coming, but it took a podcast I used to listen to weekly to finally get to this Cronenberg classic. Bodily modifications? Violent eroticism? Body as a machine? Death & eroticism? It has it all and much more.

For those of you in your 20s and 30s (or even older) who feel alienated in the urban landscape, surrounded by crowds whilst feeling lonely and yearning for any type of human connection, this film is for you.

It's no secret that Brian de Palma wanted to be Hitchcock since he was a baby (I assume, but it sure does look so). You can see it in so many movies of his and Body Double is a perfect example. It even has the misogyny down to a T. But it's also really good and I'm a fan of voyeurism in cinema (from a critical position mostly). This is like Rear Window and Vertigo mashed together, but with 80s hair.

Now this was probably the highlight for me this year. Editor by day, sex worker by night, Kathleen Turner is a force in this film, alongside Anthony Perkins, the perverted priest. But if that is not enough to do the trick, the cinematography and that anal sex scene might do the trick 😉

Who knew Joan Crawford had such a big issue with wire hangers? Not me, but I sure found out in that crazy scene that has one of the most memorable meltdowns in cinema. Every shot of Faye Dunaway screams "I want that Oscar, god damn it!"

Fedora is the late 70s version of Sunset Boulevard and it has the same director. Not as good as that classic, but my god, the clothes! I'd watch it again just for the clothes, particularly that white suit Fedora is wearing in the garden of her villa when she receives that honorary Oscar.

I don't think there's any Paul Schrader film that I didn't like. It wouldn't make sense to call him underrated, but he's better than others from that 1970s gang (cough *de Palma* cough). In Hardcore, a father finds out his daughter went to Los Angeles and started acting in porn. He gets the confirmation when he actually sees her in one film in some shady movie theater. It's a weird and very uncomfortable scene and by comparison, not much, knowing how it will unfold later.

Of course Madonna is always in control of her image and what she allows to be seen or how she comes across. But that doesn't mean there's nothing genuine there, on the contrary. And the camera captures that. The backstage, the everyday conversations, the relationship with the dancers. Real people with real emotions and the more darker parts are allowed to slip in through the cracks. On top of that, it has footage from her tour in 90-91, a reminder of how Madonna is one of the best performers out there, making me wish there'd be a time machine so I can see her live during that time.

For anyone who is a fan of Sex and The City, how about a late 1930s version? Fast pace dialogue, outfits to die for and a cast made almost entirely of women.

The second Cronenberg on the 2023 list. I watched M. Butterfly after seeing Madame Butterfly at the opera. The film is slightly different and it deals with some of my favorite themes in fiction and media lately: gender identities, criticism of colonialism, orientalist fantasies that obscure realities and so much more.

you know i have this tougth that what if giorno and haruno are twins

and for all of part 5 giorno leaves whith the bucci gang without leaving and note haruno starts poking around and from what he gathers asumes giorno was lidnaped by the mafia

..........okay so

this is likely not at all in the direction you meant for it to do in but

what if. What if Haruno accidentally created Giorno with Gold Experience-

like. Haruno was experimenting with what exactly he could and couldn't do with Gold, thought "hey can I make people?" and then the next thing he knows he's looking at Him But Blonde and can't bring it in himself to turn him back into the small pile of rocks he started as

given the fact he was made by a Stand, Giorno can see Stands but doesn't have one of his own. However, he does still have a bit of ingrained loyalty to Haruno and the damage reflection :)

Haruno's bio mom and stepdad has no fucking idea where this Honestly Terrifying Identical Blonde Kid came from, but there's some freaky magic shit going on with him and the last time the stepdad tried hitting him it resulted in a black eye and the kid being untouched so they give the pair a wide berth

they honestly think Giorno's some kind of weird fae thing that attached itself to Haruno. The bio mom's aware of the existence of vampires since Dio, so she just assumes other magic things could be real and that Giorno is one of them (which...... she's not fully wrong but not quite correct either). However, on paper Giorno is Haruno's twin

Giorno is also....... Really Weird. While he definitely has the mentality of a child, there's also Some Other Stuff going on in that head of his which comes from his Weird Creation. He's also stuck in a weird in between of being VERY protective of Haruno and looking out for him vs being a little brother and looking to Haruno for guidance. This feeling is also reciprocated by Haruno, and the two honestly flip back and forth pretty often on who's the "older sibling" of the day

and ofc, things are absolutely INSANE with the Bucci Gang. He probably explains away the damage reflection as his Stand Ability, but Haruno not being there with Gold is going to get things interesting

maybe at one point after the whole Betrayal Thing Giorno all but demands they go back to Naples immediately because like hell he's leaving Haruno alone and at risk like this

Dictator’s body double part one

In a realm shadowed by the tyranny of a dictator named Alexi, a critical issue weighed heavily on the minds of his closest advisers. Alexi, distinguished by his unique height and authoritative demeanor, had survived several assassination attempts. The solution was as clear as it was difficult to achieve: they needed a body double. Yet, the challenge extended beyond merely matching Alexi's rare physical stature; it required emulating his distinct aura of control, a task that appeared insurmountable until they heard whispers of a secretive technology.This technology, a crown jewel of espionage, belonged to the Central Intelligence Agency. Far from being a simple exercise in disguise or superficial changes, this was a comprehensive, transformative process that fused psychology, physical transformation, and technology to allow someone to completely take on another's identity, capturing their mannerisms and, potentially, their way of thinking. It was designed for the most extreme missions, allowing agents to blend into their covers so seamlessly that even those who knew the impersonated individual would be none the wiser.Through daring operations that would later become the stuff of legend within the corridors of power, Alexi's regime acquired this technology. The hunt for a double was reinvigorated with newfound vigor. Many were evaluated, but only one was selected: Ivan, a soldier whose bravery and dedication was unmatched.

Ivan had known missions that tested the limits of his endurance and skill, but nothing could have prepared him for the moment when his commanding officer summoned him into a stark, dimly lit room. The air was heavy with a tension that made Ivan’s instincts flare with unease. His officer, a man of few words and even fewer expressions, didn't waste time on pleasantries."Ivan, you have been chosen for a mission of paramount importance," he began, his voice a monotone that belied the gravity of his words. "From this point forward, your old life ceases to exist. You are to become Alexi."Ivan's mind raced. Become Alexi? The very notion was absurd. Alexi was a figure of fear, a tyrant whose name whispered in the shadows incited dread. How could he, Ivan, a man whose physical attributes were diametrically opposite to those of Alexi, assume his identity? Ivan was tall, yes, but slender and muscular, with light hair that was starkly different from Alexi's darker, imposing presence."Sir, with all due respect, how is this possible? Alexi and I... we're nothing alike. The physical differences alone—"His officer cut him off with a sharp gesture. "Everything will be explained to you. The technology we've acquired makes the impossible possible. You will undergo a series of operations and psychological conditioning. When we're done, even Alexi's closest confidants won't be able to tell you apart."The mention of technology sparked a flicker of understanding, yet the full scope of the transformation that was being proposed seemed beyond the bounds of reality. Ivan's objections lingered on the tip of his tongue, but the look in his officer's eyes—a blend of unwavering conviction and an unspoken warning—silenced him."Your first task is to meet with Alexi. He has personally requested to see you before the procedure begins."The thought of coming face-to-face with the dictator was enough to unsettle even Ivan’s steeled nerves. Alexi, whose rule was ironclad, whose whims were law, and whose cruelty was legendary, wanted to meet him? The implications were chilling.As Ivan was escorted to the meeting, his thoughts were a tumult of anxiety and disbelief. The corridors seemed to stretch on interminably, each step taking him closer to the man who embodied terror for so many. When at last he was ushered into Alexi's presence, the dictator's cold, assessing gaze felt like a weight. Alexi circled him, a predator sizing up prey, before finally speaking."You will become me," Alexi stated, his voice devoid of warmth. "This is not a request; it is your new reality. Your commitment must be absolute. There is no room for failure."The weight of Alexi's words, the sheer impossibility of what was being asked of him, settled over Ivan like a shroud. Yet, in the face of Alexi's unwavering expectation, refusal was unthinkable. This was more than a mission; it was a total erasure of his former self, a plunge into the unknown with no promise of return.As Ivan left the meeting, the magnitude of his commitment loomed large. He was no longer just a soldier; he was to become the shadow of a tyrant, embarking on a journey that would test the very limits of his identity and resolve. The path forward was fraught with uncertainty, but Ivan knew that turning back was not an option.

The process to transform Ivan into Alexi's double was as meticulous as it was grueling. It began with a battery of tests—medical, psychological, and physical—to ensure Ivan could withstand the radical changes required. The timeline was daunting: nine months to a year of constant, invasive transformation and recovery. Ivan was put on a stringent new diet designed to significantly increase his body mass; he had to gain nearly 200 pounds to match Alexi's more imposing physique.Beyond the physical transformation, Ivan embarked on a rigorous regime to internalize Alexi's essence. He began to shadow the dictator, observing him in meetings, noting the subtleties of his speech, the nuances of his gestures, and the way he carried himself—everything that made Alexi, Alexi. This shadowing was not merely about imitation; it was about understanding Alexi's thought processes, predicting his reactions, and adopting his worldview.In the evenings, Ivan's transformation continued in a different, yet equally demanding, form. He was hooked up to advanced machines that facilitated the transfer of memories. These sessions were designed to imbue him with Alexi's experiences, or at least, a version of them, to ensure that Ivan could replicate not just the dictator's mannerisms but also his reactions to specific references or triggers. This technology, blending the cutting edge of neuroscience and psychology, aimed to merge Ivan's consciousness with aspects of Alexi's, blurring the lines between the individual and the persona he was to adopt.The process was disorienting, often leaving Ivan in a state of identity flux, where the boundaries between himself and the role he was assuming became increasingly indistinct. Every day, he found pieces of Ivan fading away, replaced by the characteristics, memories, and even thought patterns of Alexi. It was a transformation that demanded not just physical resilience but an unparalleled strength of mind.Throughout this exhaustive process, Ivan's commitment was put to the test. The physical changes, while challenging, were straightforward compared to the psychological and emotional toll of taking on another's identity so completely. The machines that worked to integrate Alexi's memories with his own left Ivan in a limbo between selves, a space where Ivan's past and Alexi's experiences intertwined and sometimes clashed.Despite the hardships, the promise of becoming Alexi's perfect double drove Ivan forward. With each passing day, the soldier who had entered the program receded further into the background, giving way to the emerging figure of the dictator. This transformation, once unthinkable in its depth and breadth, slowly became Ivan's new reality, a testament to the lengths to which he—and those orchestrating the change—were willing to go to protect Alexi and preserve their grip on power. The journey was far from over, but Ivan was no longer the man he had been. He was becoming Alexi, for better or for worse.

Three months into the transformation, Ivan's life as he knew it had been officially erased. His family mourned him as a hero lost in battle, unaware of the surreal journey he was undergoing. The physical changes were becoming apparent: Ivan had put on about 25 pounds, a testament to the new diet and the efforts to physically match Alexi. But the transformation went deeper than the skin.The memories transferred from Alexi started to take root in Ivan's psyche, intertwining with his own thoughts and experiences. With these memories came unexpected cravings—for power, wealth, the rush of domination, and surprisingly, for cigars and vodka, substances Ivan had previously abstained from. The daily regimen of pills and injections was relentless, altering his body chemistry to accelerate his transformation into Alexi's double, not just in appearance but in essence.Spending his days with Alexi, Ivan was subjected to the dictator's habits, including drinking and smoking cigars—habits that were initially repulsive to him. Yet, as the days passed, Ivan found himself not just tolerating these vices but slowly starting to relish them, a sign of how deeply the transformation was affecting him. The physical changes continued: his skin began to adopt a slightly different pigment, his hair darkened, and began to thin, aligning more closely with Alexi's appearance, and his skin showed signs of aging to mirror Alexi's age, which was about 15 years his senior.This physical and psychological metamorphosis was disorienting. Ivan could feel the essence of who he had been slipping away, replaced by the burgeoning identity of the man he was to become. The once-clear demarcation between Ivan and Alexi blurred with each passing day, challenging Ivan's sense of self. He found himself caught in a complex web of identity, power, and transformation, embodying a role that demanded the sacrifice of his former self for the sake of a mission that had consumed his existence.The forced adoption of Alexi's habits and the assimilation of his memories and desires marked a significant milestone in the transformation process. Ivan was no longer merely imitating Alexi; he was becoming indistinguishable from the dictator, embodying his characteristics, desires, and even his vices. This deep integration signaled a point of no return in Ivan's journey, a testament to the extraordinary lengths to which the regime was willing to go to protect their leader and maintain their grip on power, at the expense of Ivan's identity and the truth.

By the fourth month of Ivan's transformation into Alexi, the process had reached a critical and irreversible stage. Ivan had already begun to embody Alexi's persona, mastering his mannerisms, adopting his style of speech, and even altering his voice to mirror the dictator's distinctive timbre. His walk had taken on the characteristic stride of Alexi, and through the ongoing memory transfer, Ivan found himself understanding—and in some unsettling ways, even empathizing with—Alexi's perspectives and motivations.The first surgery marked a significant escalation in the transformation process. It was not just another step but a leap into solidifying Ivan's commitment to becoming Alexi. The operation was daunting: to physically reduce Ivan's height to closely match that of Alexi, requiring the shortening of his legs. This surgery, combined with the injections that had already begun the process of shrinking him, was aimed at reducing his stature by a total of 12 inches.Waking up from the long and arduous surgery, Ivan found himself in a haze of pain and disorientation. The realization that he was now significantly shorter, only a few inches taller than Alexi, was jarring. His face, swathed in bandages from the extensive facial reconstruction, was a tangible symbol of the transformation's severity. The surgery had not just altered his height but had begun the process of reshaping his face to mirror Alexi's visage closely.This physical alteration was more than a change in appearance; it was a profound alteration of identity. Ivan, once a distinguished soldier with a unique identity, was now being meticulously sculpted into a living, breathing double of the most feared man in the country. The pain from the surgery, both physical and psychological, was a constant reminder of the sacrifice Ivan was making. His body was no longer his own; it was becoming a vessel for the persona of Alexi, molded and shaped through science, technology, and a deep psychological reconditioning that blurred the lines between two distinctly different men.As Ivan recovered from the surgery, he had to confront the reality of his new existence. The sight of himself in the mirror, once a familiar comfort, had become a source of estrangement. Each glimpse of his bandaged face and altered physique served as a stark reminder of the path he had chosen—or rather, the path that had chosen him. The transformation was not just about adopting Alexi's external appearance; it was about subsuming his identity into that of the dictator, a process that was as much about losing himself as it was about becoming someone else.This first surgery was a pivotal moment in Ivan's journey, marking a point of no return. The physical changes were irreversible, locking him into his mission with a permanence that went beyond mere commitment. Ivan was not just playing the role of Alexi; he was being physically remade in his image, a testament to the lengths to which the regime would go to protect its leader. As Ivan faced the long road of recovery and further transformations, he did so with the knowledge that there was no turning back, only forward into the uncertain future of his new identity.

The top photo is a photo of the MANY Adolf Hitler look-alikes, that were in Germany during the reign of the Third Reich. These are Camp Rebecca prisoners. Adolf Hitlers popularity in Germany up to 1945 was immense. A lot of German middle-aged men adopted his mustache and a small beer belly was common. Hitler had many body doubles, when he wasn't able to be in certain places.

The blow picture is a photo of the body that the Russians found in the Spring of 1945, that was presumed to be Hitler... turns out, it was actually one of his body-doubles... Gustav Weber. Joseph Stalin and Roosevelt, and even Truman didn't believe Hitler died in the bunker, and began investigations to find him. Til this day, there's very little proof that Hitler died at all...
