question.. is it okay to be friends with 2 people that ID as the same character? i know 2 people that both id as papyrus and i love them both but i don’t want to offend either of them or have them get mad at me. i have a feeling they’ll cross paths and get very angry with me.
That’s a hard question, anon. My immediate ‘gut instinct’ answer is that of course you can be friends with both of them.
However, the real answer is that it depends on you and your friends, and their feelings. Its entirely possible that one or both of them might feel uncomfortable with you being friends with another Papyrus. (I can’t personally envision Papyrus being mad about that, but I certainly don’t know every Papyrus there is).
You have two options, anon.
Option 1) Keep them completely separate and don’t mention that you know the other.
Option 2) Communicate with your friends and find out their feelings, and respect their wishes, whatever they may be.
And also keep in mind that it’s very unhealthy for friends to shame you over your other friends. Controlling who you talk to and interact with is a sign of an abusive friendship, or damn near it. It’s not normal. You should not be made to feel guilty or pressured over your choice of friends. Being uncomfortable with doubles isn’t an excuse for it either, so don’t forget that.
Honestly. If someone asks you not to talk to them about another one of your friends that’s one thing but if they tell you you’ve got to choose between them they’re being unreasonable.
