#deceit and remus are like

[lycheeleeches]

*Grabby hands* baby sides?? Little sides??? Pllleasssse

haha I tried

I absolutely need more practice on drawing babies/ little kids

[let-roman-bite-someone]

there’s something to be said about the fact that janus is the most professional out of all the sides. i genuinely think that he’s the only side playing his part because it’s his job, and not because he has any personal feelings attached.

virgil showed signs of genuinely wanting to be accepted and loved by thomas and the other sides. logan definitely values thomas’s validation a lot and becomes sad when he doesn’t get that validation. remus.. might actually be the second most professional side. but since he seems to work under janus (janus sending him over to thomas and telling him what to do), i guess a lot of that professionalism comes from janus himself. remus isn’t as stupid as he seems obviously, but he doesn’t have a clear-cut agenda like janus does.

i just think it’s interesting to see a side who is only concerned with thomas’s well-being because it’s their job and they want to do a good job. even janus’s frustration at thomas not taking his advice and later his excitement about thomas acknowledging his points came off to me as someone dealing with their kinda shitty boss (no offense to c!thomas, i just imagine that’s how janus views him lol). of course, janus has some fun at his job but i mean, i would too if no one ever listened to me and i’m automatically labelled as the bad guy.

all of this is slowly beginning to change since janus seems to be getting closer to patton but i guess we’ll have to wait and see if they actually become friends or if they’re more like coworkers on friendly terms.

Hey-o! Haven't posted any of my art in a while so here is a mini Sanders Sides art dump!

Bonus unfinished piece:

[sandersontheside]

thinking about a 10 Things I Hate About You AU….Roman Prince is the most popular boy at Padua High. His brother Remus? Is something else entirely. The only thing they have in common is one simple rule:

“You can date when he does.” “But he’s a mutant! What if he never dates?”

Virgil is Cameron, awkwardly crushing on an oblivious Roman. Patton is Michael, his loyal friend who helps him concoct the scheme to get Remus to date so Roman can. Janus is Patrick, paid to ask out Remus and falling for him in the process when he finds someone who sees pst his false reputation. Remy is Joey, Roman’s crush who turns out to be self centered and jerky. Logan is Mandela, the nerdy girl Michael ends up with.

Idea - Sanders Sides "Psych" (2006) AU

Janus - Lassiter

Juliet - Patton

Vick - Virgil

Woody - Remus

Now, I know you're wondering who would be Shawn and Gus, as they are the main characters. I say to you, the roles are shared by Logan and Roman. I'll use a version of the first episode as an example:

Logan and Roman are hanging out, talking, when Logan makes a quick call to the police station with an anonymous tip. Janus, who is on the other end, realizes that this number has called in a suspicious amount of anonymous tips, and requests for the caller to come to the station. Logan, confused, goes, and Roman comes with him.

When they get there, Janus accuses Logan of being a criminal, and Roman quickly covers for him by saying he's psychic. The two of them have a typically comical argument about this when Janus goes to get his partner, as Logan doesn't believe in psychics and resents being associated with them; Roman resents Logan apparently preferring to be arrested.

When Janus comes back with Patton, Logan is resigned to keeping up the charade until they can be released. Patton, of course, is incredibly excited about meeting a "real psychic", and his support bolsters Roman to start making more and more claims about Logan's "prodigious abilities", until Patton exclaims that maybe the psychic can help them with a case they're stuck on. Roman (enthusiastically) and Logan (hesitantly) agree, and as they work on the case, Virgil shows up, asking why there are civilians on their investigation.

Janus starts in on how he didn't want them and still thinks they should arrest them, but he is drowned out by Roman and Patton explaining that the psychic and his "assistant" are being consulted on the case. Virgil is about to order them off (and possibly to be detained) when Logan, who was not paying any attention to the argument, interrupts with the most promising lead thus far, so Virgil relents, but parts by saying they are still being held under suspicion.

The episode continues, and Logan and Roman solve the case (with Logan providing the near-photographic memory and precision, as well as most of the worry over continually lying to the police, while Roman provides the classic Shawn charisma, easily imagined half-truths, and cavalier attitude toward the rules). After a bit, they meet Remus, the extremely weird but somehow eerily competent coroner!

Janus continues to not believe a word the dynamic duo say, but infuriatingly can't hold on to a shred of evidence, while Patton seems to trust them implicitly. Virgil lets the two pseudo-detectives become regular consultants (especially after Roman sets them up a mostly legitimate business), but is still delightfully snarky and skeptical (whether he actually believes all that "psychic" racket is yet to be seen).

Other than this, who knows!

Is Thomas Shawn's dad?

How does Juliet's brother figure into this?

Mr. Yang? (And, come to think of that, Mary Lightly?)

Despereaux?

I surely don't have a clue. It's your problem now.

Discoveries

Prompt: “We can work this out, okay? Just come back here, it’s not safe there. You know that too.” (Credit to @me-writes-prompts for this prompt!!)

Ship: romantic Prinxiety

CW/TW: slight self harm, panic attacks, swearing, unsympathetic Virgil, unsympathetic Janus

Summary: Finally deciding to leave the “Dark Sides” Virgil leaves Janus after a heated argument, leaving him begging for him to come back.

__________________________________________

Virgils glare burned a hole into Janus’ irises, face hot and wet with incessant tears, voice hoarse and unbearably scratchy from the yelling that echoed off of the walls of Janus and his room.

Janus looked back, expression tender and begging, sincere. He stepped closer to him. “Virgil, please. I know we have our differences but I think if we just talked it out we could—“

Virgil’s shoulders were up to his neck, his entire body felt like it was burning from the unforgiving rage boiling inside of him. “Save the shit Deceit, I don’t wanna hear it.”

Janus’ expression changed in the blink of an eye, going from pleading to stone cold anger. “Yknow what? Maybe Thomas was right about not wanting you around, after all, Paranoia isn’t very healthy…” he said, seething pain and irritation dripping off his tongue.

Virgil wrapped his arms around himself tightly, knowing from past experience that the grip would leave bruises, but the pain grounded him enough to help him leave his expression the same, not letting Janus have the satisfaction of knowing he got to him.

“You’re nothing but a manipulative sack of shit. I can’t believe I trusted you.” Virgil growled. The statement was only half true; Of course Janus had his moments—all of them did, inevitably, although some more than others.—but he and Remus were the first to accept him with open arms, although recent events said otherwise.

Janus scoffed at the statement, not saying anything else in response.

Virgil let go of himself, summoning a bag and shoving whatever that was nearest to him into it; A blanket, headphones, his phone, his poetry collection that consisted of Sylvia Plath, Edgar Allen Poe, and Emily Dickinson.

Janus watched silently as Virgil sunk out, not bothering to give him a second glance.

———————————————————————

Virgil walked through the border between the light and dark mind palace, feeling his emotions shift from completely enraged with no ending in sight to mildly irritated. His body relaxed, the released tension leaving him fatigued. His jaw unclenched and his nails found their way out of his palms.

He sighed before twisting the knob and letting himself into a world of new possibilities. He stepped one foot into the common area and all noise was stripped from the room. He found Logan on the couch, Patton asleep next to him. He heard Roman singing Hamilton from his bedroom. Logan was the first to notice his presence.

“Anxiety? It’s odd seeing you here, is there an issue?” Logan looked at him the way he looked at every other side, an impassive expression all over his face.

Virgil sat on the floor facing the couch where Logan was sitting, flipping through a “History Of NASA” magazine.

He shook his head. “I might need to stay here a while..I don’t know.” He said faintly, taking his headphones and phone out of his bag, not wanting to make eye contact.

“For what reason in particular?” Logan responded, bookmarking the page he was on and setting it down next to him.

“Deceit. He..” his voice trailed off as he stared at his phone, searching through multiple different playlists for a certain song to match his mood.

“He what?” Logan prompted, confusion in his voice.

Virgil looked up, “We got into an argument, an extremely heated one, that’s it. I don’t want to be there anymore. Can we please drop this?”

Logan nodded “Yes, Of course. I suppose I should let the others know you’re here then?” He asked.

Virgil blinked in surprise at the compliance with dropping the subject before slowly nodding a “yes”.

Logan disappeared for a minute into the hallway, leaving Virgil to his music, letting the words sink in and calm his nerves.

He reappeared once again, Virgil taking out his headphones, noticing Roman had stopped singing.

“I have let him know. I am sure that Patton is fine with you being here, so no need to worry.” Logan said.

Virgil nodded, getting up and sitting on the couch next to Logan.

———————————————————————

Hours passed before Roman finally left his room, coming into the common area where Patton and Virgil were watching Lion King.

“Hiya, Kiddo! Wanna join us?, we’re binge watching Disney movies” Patton said giddily, the TV illuminating his a multitude of different colors.

Roman looked to the TV, watching as Scar let go of Mufasa, and nodded. “That sounds delightful Pat, sure.” He seemed a little hesitant before sitting down beside Patton.

“Logan’s working on some big project in his room so if you’re wondering where he is that’s where” Patton clarified, hoping to ease his confusion a bit; luckily, it worked, and Roman settled into the sofa. “He also doesn’t like Disney movies” he added, giggling a bit.

Virgil stayed silent, staring at the TV; trying to make it seem as if he was focused on the movie when in reality his mind was elsewhere. Guilt coursed through his bloodstream, leaving him feeling hollow. His phone buzzed and he picked it up, the screen practically blinding him due to the darkness of the room.

It was a message from Janus. He hadn’t even been gone a day and Janus was already begging for him to come back.

“We can work this out, okay? Just come back here, it’s not safe there. You know that too.” He had written.

Virgil tried ignoring him, acting as if he’d never seen the message, god how he tried, but within seconds he found the lack of response too anxiety inducing to ignore.

He stood up, walking into the nearest room absentmindedly, and closing the door, calling Janus.

He listened to the phone ring and ring and ring until it went to voicemail. He texted Janus back, fingers flying over the screen.

“It’s a lot safer here, actually. You were wrong Janus, you have to let it go. I’m not coming back, and I don’t want to work anything out, give it up already.”

The message was a lot nicer than intended, but he sent it anyway.

Janus left him on read.

He was about to leave the room before he was struck with the sight in front of him. Silky red curtains, star decals everywhere, Disney characters plastered on the door— shit. He was in Romans room.

He would’ve laughed at the decor of the room had he not been so tense.

A knock at the door made him jump, and he opened it quickly, coming face to face with Roman.

“Do you wanna explain why you’re in my room?” He said, confusion and Irritation apparent with every word.

Suddenly, the room was spinning and nausea hit him like a truck. Too many things were happening at once. The control once ever so present in his life was slowly crumbling like sand in his hands.

Roman caught him before he fell, holding up all of his weight with ease. “Woah, hey.” he said, taken off guard. Virgil didn’t respond, couldn’t respond.

“Breathe, take deep breaths, can you do that?” Roman said

Virgil took a breath and exhaled a shuddery one, leaning against Roman, the knowledge that Princey was seeing him like this only made it worse.

“Good, that’s good. Can you do a couple more for me?” Roman cooed

Virgil repeated the cycle a few times before the room became less and less blurry and the nausea subsided slightly.

Roman led him to his bed, both of them sitting down next to eachother.

“What is going on? You just…showed up here suddenly” Roman looked away from the side next to him, his eyes fixated on the floor. He was hesitant to speak; apart from his usual cockiness, truth be told he was really afraid to say the wrong thing.

“Ja— Deceit…I left the others.”

“You..oh okay..” he said softly

“So does this mean…”

“That I’m one of you?” Virgil finished the sentence for him.

Roman nodded, looking up at him.

“I doubt you guys would want me to be.” Virgil mumbled, messing with the loose seams of his jacket.

“Hey, no. You do a great deal for us and Thomas. You mean a lot, Anxiety.” Roman responded sweetly.

“Virgil.” Virgil corrected.

“Virgil..?” Roman parroted, eyes widening a bit.

“My name, it’s Virgil.” He repeated.

While he was still weary about trusting the Others, he didn’t see the pain in telling atleast one of them his name; if he made fun of it, then so be it.

“I think that’s wonderful.” Roman said, slowly taking the other sides hand in his.

Virgil’s face heat up with surprise and happiness and he immediately hid it with his hoodie sleeve “thanks, I guess” came the muffled reply.

“You’re one of us, I’ve deemed you so, right here, right now, and if anyone has a problem with it they can talk to me” Roman said confidently, taking Virgil’s hand away from his face and kissing it.

Virgil couldn’t stop smiling and Roman loved it.

“You have a beautiful smile, Virge” Roman said, hoping to egg on the side infront of him.

Virgil practically fell apart, pulling Roman close and kissing him, smiling into it.

Roman returned the passion, holding Virgil gently as their teeth accidentally knocked together from the uncontrollable smiles.

Roman pulled them apart, forehead pressed against Virgils.

“You can stay here for as long as you need, alright?” Roman whispered.

“I could stay here forever.” Virgil responded.

‘and I will’ he thought to himself.

Cafe Extravaganza

Summary: Remy finally takes Virgil, Remus and Janus on the date he mentioned upon learning he was dating them all.

Part of the Vampiceit AU @lostcephalopods/@loveceit and I have tried my best to remember and not contradict anything written before

/\/\

It had once formed in a dream. That was how most of the places Remy claimed as his came about: Thomas saw something or had an idea that Remy decided to play with for a dream or two and the imagination formed them, nearly always within Roman's claimed area of the imagination.

Now Remy wasn't one for claiming spirit animals, star signs, or patronuses, whatever was appropriate for a white guy to claim he has, but he was definitely someone who could appreciate cute animals that curled up warm and cosy to sleep. That described Red Panda's perfectly from how he and Thomas understood them. They were cuddly goofy little creatures that just loved finding somewhere to curl up.

And the cafe that formed one dream reflected that.

Roman had initially assumed it was a cat cafe when he discovered it, only for Remy to laugh, sipping his drink and point through the plant life to a curl of orange in the trees. “Try again, Princey.” He'd said, letting Roman look around more before deciding to ask for the cafe to remain forever.

Now Remy had dates. He had people he wanted to take on dates and he was going to bring them all here. Hopefully between the three they could keep Remus from harming any of his red pandas.

/\/\

“How the hell have you got a jungle growing through a building?” Virgil was staring around them, occasionally pushing at the logs that made the cafe walls as if checking their stability.

“Don't ask me about the reasoning of the imagination, Babes, that's not my area.” Remy crooned, wrapping an arm over his shoulder.

He turned at the cheerful cackle behind them. “Nope, that's mine and I say it just decides things. Especially when making from dreams, Logan is not consulted. Or Roman battles him if he tries to be. I love watching those, sometimes even help the unimaginative one, just cause Logic has no place here.” Remus agreed, climbing over one section of wall.

“Answering no questions as usual.” Remy snarked, before blinking into a frown. “What are you trying to feed Reeses?”

“Algae gloop.” Remus helpfully replied, hoping down and holding it to the pair as if inviting them to eat it now.

Janus sighed behind them where they'd been looking up at a few sleeping red pandas. “We'd prefer not to have Remy refuse to ever bring us here again. How about you don't give potentially poisonous snacks to his pets.”

“I'll just make it so things can't poison them. Red pandas who can eat anything they like.” Remus insisted without a seconds thought.

Remy's frown didn't budge, just turned more thoughtful. “How come Roman never suggested that? He knows how I love my cuddlebears.”

“Caaaauuuuuusssse He's Boooorrrrrringggg.” Remus droned out. “Always wants things to either be a fairytale or as close to Thomas's real world as possible to make the daydreams seem achievable.”

“It's true. Makes my job harder to caution Thomas about things when he's also imagining the plants needing watering, or the bills being too high.” Virgil agreed. “Why give Thomas anxiety about his actual bills, or killing the plants he already has, when Roman wants me to give him it over imaginary stuff that's stuck in daydreams for the future?”

Remy would have replied except the panda closest to them had decided to treat him as one of the trees and climb along his arm onto Virgil. “Why, Cuties, are we all talking about your jobs in the brain when we could be enjoying the fluffy beauty that's here? Plus the coffee cake is murderously good.”

“Murder? I've got to try that!” Remus immediately ran off to find the cakes and counter of the cafe. “And do you mean murders are involved in making it, or that people would murder each other to try it?”

“If I say the latter are you planning to run off and find someone to murder before letting us get drinks and cakes?” Remy threw back with a smirk, pushing his sunglasses to his forehead now.

“Good Plan! I'll go find Roman!” Remus was darting past them to the entrance when Virgil and Janus both stretched an arm out to catch and stop him.

Virgil just snickered while Janus smirked again.

“How about instead of that you find a table to start figuring out how a murder could be consistently included in a cake recipe without it being cannibalism.” They suggested instead.

“Like, Honey Badger, there are tables just past those vines. You sit there, get to work on letting my pandas eat anything without getting poisoned, but better keep a preference for the actual food they'd normally eat. I'll get the cake for you and coffee for me. What're my Babes and my Dear drinking today?” Remy clicked his fingers while pointing, already heading in a slightly different direction, Virgil and red panda in tow.

“Blood. I assume you can make them serve that so I'm not biting one of you at our table.” Janus drawled, ignoring the arm Remus flung into the air as if volunteering.

Remy nodded, now smiling over at Virgil. “You got it, Dear.”

“A chocolate milkshake and some lemon drizzle cake. I know you've got more than coffee cake here, do not lie.” Virgil requested, eyes narrowing as soon as Remy's smirk turned teasing and he started to shake his head.

“Coming right up, Babes. This place is cool, right?” He asked, looking for approval of the place. Remy had always been sure it would be a good date location but now he was here, and had partners he'd barely allowed himself to imagine dating when helping Virgil join Remus and Janus, it felt like he needed validation over his choice of location.

Virgil smirked as if realising that too. “Course it is, Rems. Definitely a relaxing way to experience the jungle. Even if I've become a red panda's bed.”

“They know you're cuddly, just like we do.” Remy teased, turning to the counter where someone clearly made to be a citizen by Roman was waiting.

They'd found love, and as mad as it seemed, it felt perfect.

So I've been getting back into Sanders Sides recently after about 2-ish years

Uh...

Don't worry, I'll probably finish the sketch later

(no I won't..)

[ID] A sketch of Edward Nigma, The Riddler, and Janus Sanders standing next to each other. Nigma is wearing Janus's outfit, while Janus is wearing Nigma's costume. Janus is saying "E. Nigma, was it? /Totally/ not pointing out the obvious, /especially/ not with how eccentric. The suit is." The Riddler is responding with "Riddle me this: Whose name is more obvious? Me, or the guy literally named Deceit?" [End ID]

I don't know a lot about The Riddler this just popped into my head

[unhinged-jaw]

I rewatched SVSredux and it has been plaguing my thoughts so. Rambles.

Watching Logan vs Deceit Pretending To Be Logan is So fascinating. This is no drag against Logan, but he allows himself to be talked over. Most of his 'Logan Lowdowns' are him making the soft pixel talking sounds. True to his earlier statement he acts detached to the debate, merely adding information (that is largely ignored). He only audibly gets involved when Patton asks for his input, clearly assuming Logan was going to help make his point clearer. Especially since Patton spends the whole episode struggling to convey his point! But that's another topic for another day.

Conversely, Janus As Logan (who I will be referring to as Dlogan for rn) is Very confrontational. First of all, the entire time Dlogan is on screen he is *speaking*. He sort of manhandles the conversation into his hands. Its very important to me though that how Dlogan does it is *different* than how Logan has taken control of the conversation in the past. Dlogan proceeds to *shred* into Patton's logic. Like, genuinely, he is tearing that poor man apart. He points out when Patton is lying and fumbling. He points out the inconsistencies. *He* is the reason Patton ends up freaking the hell out! Patton and his extreme opinion on the whole thing is put directly into the light and it shows every single inconsistency.

The difference between Logan and Dlogan is *genuinely* fascinating. Dlogan is very persistent that he will not be ignored. He shoves himself to the forefront and is very aggressive. But! If you weren't paying attention you really wouldn't notice! You would just think (in Remus words) that he "reached his listening to others limit". But he didn't! Janus has the wheel here!

ALSO there is a moment where Roman goes "I thought you didn't care about this stuff Logan" (Paraphrased) and Dlogan sort of brushes that off. But it is noticed by the other sides that Logan suddenly seems to care more about the debate. Fun call back!

Bonus also, Logan goes from "giving relevant information" to Dlogan pushing the topic of Self Preservation and whether or not Thomas *should* go to those extremes to be morally good.

Genuinely fascinating and fun all around.

[part-time-zombie]

I know that the general consensus with snake janus headcanons is that he's some form of venomous snake. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea too. The concept of c!thomas perceiving Deceit's every word as laced with poison to the point that it manifested as venom is just amazing fic potential, not to mention it being a very literal take on the term "toxic", but please consider:

Constrictor snake janus.

He's more than capable of handling remus by simply trapping him in a secure hold until he just wears himself out, and that would also mean that janus is secretly very strong and flexible.

Also, he may refuse to hug anyone for a while and every one first thinks it's because he just doesn't like them (partially true...) but it's also because he's half worried his strength and instincts will get the better of him and he'll suffocate whoever he's holding.

Someone somehow ends up sharing a bed/snoozing on the couch with him for whatever reason and janus has a bad dream, which results in him holding the other side so tightly he nearly breaks one of their ribs on reflex. It takes them scratching and kicking him until he finally wakes up and lets go.

I dunno, just thinking of constrictor snake janus headcanons rn...
