Freudian Trio/Web Original
Examples of Freudian Trios in Web Original include:
- Himei / Sailor Nothing: Superego (The Quiet One)
- Shin / Sailor Truth: Id (stubborn, obnoxious, in-your-face Plucky Girl)
- Aki / Sailor Beauty: Ego (relatively normal -- emphasis on relatively)
The Escapist recently[when?] started a new column, Extra Consideration. The three contributors are Yahtzee (Id), Moviebob (Ego) and James (Superego)
There are three Homestuck "skewer" bloggers on tumblr who for some reason match this pattern:
- The "Homestuck Fan Voices" blog is apparently the id, due to frequently lacing perfectly good criticism with personal attacks.
- The "Bad Homestuck RP" blog seems to be the superego, for an emerging habit of actually trying to be helpful and above-board despite being, as with the other two bloggers, completely anonymous.
- The "Slum Troller" blog thus must be the ego, for representing the middle ground between the other two blogs and trying to laugh at everything that comes his way.
- Tom: The Leader (Id)
- Zack: Butt Monkey (Ego)
- Dana: The Middlewoman (Superego)
- Simon: Resident pyromaniac; willing to do much more in the name of fun (Id)
- Lewis: More careful but more willing to get railroaded (Superego)
- Any NPC travelling/playing with them: Forces the plot along, but goes along with whatever the other two do (Ego)
The three members of the TGS Podcast could be considered this.
- Jesse Cox bases his opinions on his gut feelings or emotions. Often to the frustration of his co-hosts and viewers. (Id)
- Total Biscuit goes into a rage now and again, and has a few pet hates that get to him, but is usually rational. (Superego)
- Dodger seems almost as insane as Jesse most of the time, but when the podcast moves to a serious discussion she often proves to be the most calm and objective of the three. (Ego)
