#Janus and Patton are philosophy majors and of course Virgil is a psychology major

Hiiii I saw you say you have Notes on your Remus and Janus designs 👀👀?

Could we see/hear some tidbits?

FOR SURE !! Here's what the original doodles for their designs look like, first off, (I know you didn't ask for Virgil but I did these three at the same time)

When I drew this I had just finished an exam and had to wait another hour until I could leave the classroom, so I wrote down enough notes that I had to flip the page instead:

Virgil:

- Virgil has light brown hair that he dyes black (badly). It is essential that the dye job look like shit. It looks artificial, his roots are showing, there's patches where the color didn't take, etc etc.

- He also has blue eyes, which I decided on mostly because it makes it even more clear that his hair isn't naturally black.

- He wears earrings, but his ears aren't actually pierced — they're fake little little clip-on things.

- He wears black nail polish at all times, but it's always chipped because he gets the cheapest stuff he can get his hands on.

- His hair (especially his bangs) get very long at times because he gets too socially anxious to go to the hairdresser. Back in middle school, he used to have Janus cut them for him (Remus could have done a better job but trusting him with scissors would have been a mistake). Now he mostly cuts it off by himself — it looks about as good as his dye job.

- Virgil's purple hoodie is a leftover from Remus' fashion design endeavors that Remus thought didn't look weird enough.

Janus:

- He has naturally strawberry blonde hair. The length is very important to him — he started growing it towards the end of middle school. (He allows Remus to experiment with hairdos sometimes as long as he doesn't cut anything off. I need to draw that sometime)

- I'm not entirely settled on his eye color. I know at least one of his eyes is a very pretty brown, but I have half a mind to give him a yellow glass eye for his left side — I'm not sure it'd make any logistic sense for his situation, though

- He got his ears actually pierced when he was 16.

- He also may or may not have a forked tongue. Not sure how I'd ever be able to show that off — but if he does have one, then Remus definitely was the one to encourage him to do it.

- His fashion style was definitely influenced by being around Remus (who may have used him as a mannequin/dummy because he's small.) so much. Remus also attempted to make clothes for him, but Janus is very fancy and picky, so he doesn't wear those clothes very often (though he might accessorize with stuff Remus made for him occasionally).

Remus:

- He has naturally very dark hair. He uses temporary/surface level dyes a lot, but if he's using permanent or semi-permanent dyes, he's usually limiting himself to the grey streak — it's kind of a sample strand, since it's already bleached. He 100% copied his hairstyle from Roman's.

- He (and Roman, of course) has greenish blue eyes.

- Janus paid for him to get his ears (and eyebrows) professionally pierced because otherwise he was just going to do it himself with a sewing needle.

- He has a lot of very shitty stick-and-poke tattoos he made/makes on himself. They're almost always hidden by his outfits.

- Speaking of which, Remus makes most of his outfits costumes himself. The quality of the work may vary, but they are always way too over-the-top for casual wear, because he stands out anyway, so... in for a penny, right. (As I said in the tags of a post: he is very creative and has no shame or social anxiety at all, so he had his whole aesthetic ("overdramatic green") figured out by the time he was 13)

- He also has SH scars, but, again — they're hidden by his outfits 99% of the time. He's a slut who never shows an inch of skin

hi, Nova! so

i think Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment results are misconstrued in the same way that the message of the book The Lord of the Flies is. like? this is not an accurate representation of humankind as a whole - only straight middle to upper class white men/boys. opinions?

also do you have any loceit headcanons? i know they’re kind of a rare pair ship, so if you have any on just the individual characters themselves I’d love to hear those too :)

- a mutual who’s procrastinating studying for finals

Hi, anon! I, too am procrastinating studying for my finals, and I'd be happy to give you some opinions and headcanons!

I don't know too much about lord of the flies or Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment as i haven't studied them, but from what I've read about them, I agree. Of course, being in a prison or confined to an island with only a limited number of people around you and resources tends to cause severe psychological damage to anyone, privileged or not, however, the specific "going berserk" response that happened to majority of the privileged subjects isn't likely to happen to less privileged people because they're more used to hardships and things in their life they can't control than privileged people are, resulting in them being able to cope with the isolation trauma better. Of course, this doesn't necessarily apply to everyone, as some conditions or factors may vary in cases, but a less privileged upbringing would be a factor for sure.

Loceit headcanons you say?

Well, here we go:

Logan and Janus often read and talk about philosophy when they're looking for company but not too energetic company (as patton, roman, or remus can be a little too loud sometimes)

When I say that ^ you think oh nice, mutual intellectuals (intemutuals, if you will) but no it's more like:

"I like Kant" "*spits out tea* Logan I thought you were gay" "yes, what does that have to do with it?"

Or:

"A SOCIETY CANNOT FUNCTION LIKE THAT, JANUS" "WELL MAYBE IT SHOULD STOP FUNCTIONING THEN, LOGAN" "Janus you cannot just push people down a flight of stairs to make them do what you want, that's morally frowned upon" "Well, what do philosophers know anyway? Have a crisis, eat hot chip, and lie (down on the floor), that's what!" A distant "Hey!" can be heard from virgil lying on the floor having a crisis and eating hot chip in the next room

They absolutely cuddle and gossip at night. "Logan, darling, you will not believe what Remus did in the fire pit today-" "*rifles through notecards* spill the tea sis" "-pfft, *sigh* you're adorable" "😳"

Logan has studied Janus' scales very closely, and often compliments them and talks about the functions and interesting facts about scales of snakes when he sees Janus looking in the mirror and frowning at his scales

One time, Logan studied how to do makeup for a whole week before pride month to help janus turn his scales rainbow. He even studied what chemicals were safe for human and snake skin, etc, to make sure he did it right. He read through the chemicals in every single product to make sure he picked the safest one.

Janus was so touched that logan worked so hard on learning makeup (which is an art form and therefore something logan is very much not naturally good at) that he was like :) thank you in front of him then sunk out to his room, hugged his plushie, and cried happily.

They watch history films together and mock the inaccuracies. One time Thomas had to take a history course and Logan and Janus bonded over "This whole thing is ridiculous" together for the first time. It's been a staple in their hangouts ever since.

They also bond over Talking About Their Feelings by Not Talking Directly About Their Feelings
