So, I was reading a Roman one-shot book- and I fell in love with the Insecurity!Roman version they have. I'll tag them, but yeah, if you know the book and spot any parallels-

Tw; Mentions of Dissociative Identity Disorder, Remus, blood, self harm, suicide, toxic thoughts, Roman is kinda a mental illness in this, encouraging self harm and suicide.


Romulus walked through the mind palace in a mental battle. Again.

"Romulus!" Morality called to him, "What kind of cookies do you want?"

Romulus froze as his mind said two different answers. It was like two different voices were arguing in his head, but he couldn't make it stop.

"Uhhhhhhh.........chocolate maggots-," he cringed at the fusion response.

Morality stared at him, "Y- what..?"

"I mean- Chocolate chip. Sorry, M."

"It's alright, Kiddo!"

"Thank you."

And he walked off.

Maggots? Dude, that's gross. 

I mean...it's not that bad...?

Romulus!

Did I really just refer to myself in third person?

Maybe I'm going crazy!

Romulus froze. Is he going crazy...? 

That sounds fun! Would we be the crying type or the screaming type?

Wait- 'we'?

His mind went silent.

Y'know...that makes more sense than going insane

Awww, but that sounds fun!

Hm...well, if we're multiple people, you two need different names.

Their mind went thoughtful again as they thought.

What if we went based off of the Roman myth?

What myth?

Y'know- there's two twins, Romulus and Remus, and they were raised by the she-wolf, Lupa. Eventually they grew up and left. I don't remember all of it...something about a wall and Remus jumping over it, and a war...

I call being Remus!

Fine...

Well...I'm already Romulus...so who are you going to be?

Hm...well, I'm not gonna be Lupa

Remus snickered

Icarus? The unnamed voice suggested 

Let's stick with Rs? Romulus suggested

Do I have to pick a name?

It would make things easier, bro

We're Creativity, why is this so hard?

Hm...Reaper?

Definitely, not

Okay okay...we're looking at Roman mythology, right?

Yeah...that's it!

What?
