I rewatched Dealing with Intrusive Thoughts today, while keeping in mind one of my favorite moments from Working Through Intrusive Thoughts

I really, really think that Remus is working very closely with Janus to bring to light several issues Thomas is actively ignoring and to intentionally bring forward the Orange Side.

Thomas wants to learn about himself and grow as person? Well, he can't do that without knowing all parts of himself. Which brings me to

This interaction. Yes, I did cut out a small bit from the middle with Remus using Dahmer as an example, the main point of this is Remus’s body language and reaction. Particularly his reaction to Logan's "It didn't do him any good."

Remus was using a gruesome example, but really this moment is where we see him revealing his intentions of trying to help Thomas while maintaining his role as Forbidden Creativity. He's not trying to get Thomas to actually think about or consider murder. He's trying to draw attention to the fact that his approach of using repression isn't going to work and it isn't going to help.

Remus is trying to get Thomas to acknowledge the things that are going on that he's ignoring within the confines of his role.

We've seen the Sides grow into pretty 3 dimensional characters, but they are still not individuals. So Remus and Logan and everyone else are bound by their roles that Thomas has given them.

Logan is approaching this conversation as a debate, trying to be the one to fix things for Thomas, arguably still trying to chase the opportunity to help Thomas all on his own and prove his value as a Side to Thomas that he lost in season one, meanwhile Remus is agreeing with him on this scene. Because as far as Remus is concerned, they have the same goal. Get Thomas to stop using repression as a coping mechanism.

From the very get go Remus is trying to help Thomas and Logan is treating him like the antagonistic. Which is understandable. But I really think this moment is what lays the foundation for Working Through Intrusive Thoughts.

Who’s the stinkiest rat of a character in sanders sides? Remus. What does he represent? The dark side of creativity aka intrusive thoughts

Most LITWTC bits are just intrusive thoughts that they yes anded

i think a solid fourth of the views on dwit might be mine

No because I've rewatched dealing with intrusive thoughts and svs and the Hogwarts episode recently like I think less than a month ago but I was trying to draw yesterday and put on the Hogwarts episode and I'll legitimately could not focus on just drawing I was just sitting there watching sanders sides quoting it like quoting almost the entire episode and I can't tell if it's because Sanders sides is just that quotable or if it's because I've watched specifically those episodes a lot like a lot of times I feel like the second option is more likely and also more concerning

I just realized/remembered that I kinda predicted Remus. Basically a year or so before Remus’s first appearance I had decided to make my own sides, and I was like ok obviously they’re going to be different than Thomas’s because we’re different people. so I had logic, intelligence, creativity, a few others I don’t remember, and one that was my mental illness/intrusive thoughts. who was messy, and chaotic, and silly. anyway this was before I figured out I was trans and her name was Barbra and she wore badly but on lipstick and a hoodie.

So

My mind wanders as one does—

And I have this theory that what it means for Roman and Remus to be separate creativities, and why Remus could knock Roman out, is that only one can be in the driver’s seat at a time—

(This is barring any of the asides videos where they’re interacting together and/or the main issue storyline isn’t important)

Since Thomas has this black & white view on his own thoughts, be they intrusive or not, when one Creativity is working, the other is taking a backseat. Thomas would imagine the ‘evil’ one smashing in the head of the good one and it having an effect. He’s so tired in DWIT that he let that side of himself take over until he could calm himself down enough with logic.

With the Duke in the driver’s seat, Virgil and Patton kept reacting to him, making Thomas afraid and feeling like a bad person. The only one unaffected was Logan, because he said that anything Remus did or said was unfounded and didn’t matter.

Only the reactions to his ideas mattered. Therefore, the throwing star to Logan’s head, and any other damage he afflicted had no effect because it meant nothing but to scare Thomas.

And Remus wouldn’t try to hurt Patton or Virgil because he needs them doing their job, keeping Thomas afraid. Roman would be the only one affected by the attack because Thomas’ creativities can’t both work at the same time unless something is done about it by Thomas. It was the same for WTIT, Roman was nowhere to be found until Remus left.

I really wonder if this issue between them will continue or be addressed in the finale. Since the asides have had so much time with Remus, it will be hard to NOT see him, even though him being counteractive the rest (supposedly, for now) is paramount to the storyline…

Can Lying Be Good actually has to be the Number 1 Cuntiest SaSi Episode because no other episode has these scenes, so they actually can’t be

[where-are-the-spooky-gays-2]

Tbh i think the reason some Remus angst doesn’t stick right with me is the fact they sometimes make Remus act out of character. But we all really want Remus to have some emotional depth to him so what lol?. I think the reality we have to face is the fact that…Remus doesn’t have emotional depth ha. I think “accepting Remus” would be Thomas just having to accept Remus is here to stay and there’s just…nothing he can do lol.

No TSS character is safe from A N G S T /light hearted

[dead-eyes-roll]

also Virgil is turned around/looking away

Can I show you guys one of my favorite stills from the episode?

Look on the right at the figurines of the sides.

Remus is around

And Roman is knocked over (again).

(I love the little call backs to dwit here.)

(edit I forgot one of my screens was mirrored sorry guys for when I said "left")

[smelly-welly69420]

The sanders sides fandom is slowly but surely dragging me back in I'm afraid 😔 prepare for me being more cringe than usual.
