Fander Fic Rec Friday (#6)

(Borrowers and Tinies Edition)

Tiny Tenants by KieraElieson Borrowers AU (Gen, Analogical-ish) Rating: T In a world where borrowers are unfortunately known to the world, Logan slowly earns the trust of first one, and then a growing number of tiny roommates. Notes: One of my comfort re-reads. This was one of the first fics I read in this fandom (before I was even properly in the fandom, really). It was also probably the first fic I ever read with Janus.

Infinitesimal by callboxcat Borrowers AU (Gen) Rating: T Logan and Roman are roommates who happen across a very badly abused (and tiny) Patton one day on the beach. A lot of mistakes are made before understandings are reached. Meanwhile, in the walls of the same building, Virgil lives with his overprotective brother, Emile. Notes: This one is technically a Littles AU, not a Borrowers AU, which I appreciate because I never actually read the borrowers books, but I did watch the Littles cartoons when I was a kid. Also, the tails just make everything better.

Turn Tail and Run by OreoOverlord Borrowers AU (Gen) Rating: G Patton is a kid who rescues a very tiny naga from his cat. Janus is...confused by the behavior of this human who caught him. Note: This one is really cute.

A Little Misunderstanding by Theatersweetheart Borrowers AU (Gen) Rating: G Logan has built a shrink-ray. Unfortunately he has shrunk himself. While he's working out the solution to this problem, he makes the acquaintance of a roommate he didn't realize he had. Meanwhile, Patton is a little concerned about the his missing human, but at least he has another borrower to talk to. Notes: This one is part of a collection. Probably a lot of other very good stories in here, but this is the one I remember. Took a couple hours hunting it down, specifically, because it's fun.

Time from Inside the Clock by Random_Sanders_Sides_Gt Borrower AU/Timeloop AU (Gen) Rating: G Virgil is a borrower who has just had the misfortune of being captured by the human he lives with. Except then he wakes up and it never happened. Given a second chance to avoid being discovered by Roman, Virgil...fails. And he fails again. And again. And again... Notes: This combo of tropes is just really, really interesting.

Sanders Family by KaytiKitty Borrower AU Rating: G Thomas and Dee are brothers (despite living in a world where Dee is legally his pet). They move into a new home that (unknown to them) already hosts a different family. One that doesn't believe that Dee could possibly be safe in the human's care. Notes: The awkward hijinks of trying to rescue someone from a situation they do not need rescuing from.

WIPs

Pay no attention to the sounds in the walls by RocRolWriter Borrowers AU (Gen) Rating: T Janus is injured rescuing the twins from a trap, and winds up falling into Logan's hands in their place. Janus has every intent of keeping Logan from finding out about the younger borrowers and biding his time until he can escape. Roman and Remus have other ideas. Notes: Inspired by Tiny Tenants, but more focused on Janus and the twins. Also, all the borrowers are part animal. The twins are little disaster rats, and it's adorable.

Devil on Your Shoulder by KieraElieson Borrowers AU (Gen) Rating: T Virgil is a neglected foster kid. Janus is a borrower doing what little he can to look out for him. Revealing the existence of borrowers is very much against the rules, though. Good thing Virgil is convinced that Janus is the devil that lives on his shoulder. Notes: I love the reversal of the tiny character being the protective one. Their relationship in this is so sweet.

in sickness and in health by delimeful Borrowers AU (Gen) Rating: T Pretty typical borrowers sickfic of a tiny roommate helping out an ailing human in secret...except for the whole part where borrower!Virgil was raised by a murder cult. Notes: The worldbuilding around the borrower cult is so fucking interesting, even before you get into the drama and misunderstandings that happen because of it.

mere monstrosity by delimeful Borrowers AU (Gen) Rating: T Virgil is a small spider person living in the walls of a home shared by Logan, Janus and Patton. Then two borrower brothers move in and misunderstandings are had. Notes: Probably one of the only fics where borrowers are the ones behaving badly. (Well, Janus is a bit of a menace, but whatever.)

I just really, really like borrowers AUs, but more than that, they're what drew me into Sanders Sides. I'd read a few in another fandom, and it led me into a pretty intense binge. While reading every one I could find in any fandom, I noticed that there were a lot for Sanders Sides. Which isn't always enough to make me curious enough to go check out a new fandom, but the names of the characters (their roles, specifically) were interesting. And then of course there was one of them named Deceit, who seemed to have a recurring theme of snakes popping up across so many of these different AUs... Now that made me curious.

And the rest was history...

Greetings and salutations.

The Remus friend group is completely drawn and I'm just adding info cards, but for now I come to you because my brain seems to be on a Virgil and his little brother being adorable high so if you'll kindly allow me to info dump your way it'd be much appreciated.

Basically, in human AUs for the sides I love giving Virgil siblings, specifically siblings named after other historical poets.

There's Homer, Virgil's older brother, who's basically a slightly more mature version of Emile.

There's Sappho, Virgil's baby sister, who's basically just adorable. She's still at the age where she wants to be a Disney princess most of the time.

And then there's Dante, Virgil's little brother, and the main subject of my heartache of adorableness.

You see, Dante isn't actually related to Virgil by blood. Normally, in a human AU, Homer and Virgil's bio father ends up leaving after a divorce, and then the mother remarries, the second husband being Sappho's bio dad. It's sometimes the case that Dante is the kid of the second husband from a previous relationship, but recently I've been more going for the route of Dante being and orphan that Virgil ends up getting so attached too that they end up adopting him.

How does Virgil end up getting attached? You ask, well lemme tell ya! Virgil's walking through a park or past an orphanage when he spots little Dante on his own crying. Virgil wouldn't normally approach a random kid, but he's clearly upset, and something about him just tugged at Virgil's heart, so he ends up sitting with him and cheering him up. This ends up happening a few more times over a few weeks, and Virgil ends up bonding with him a decent amount, teaching him stuff like skateboarding and parkour and just having fun with the kid until he eventually goes to his mom and says "mother, I know I don't normally ask for much, but you see I have located a small that has particularly indeared himself to me and he has not a family so I ask that we can supply him with one in the form of us, I would be greatly appreciative if you could partake in the acquiring the small as a member of our family. Thank you." And after seeing just how adorable the two are, Virgil's mom caves and they adopt Dante.

Their dynamic as I have it in my head is just the cutest thing. Dante is normally just basically a slightly less anxious mini Virgil, hissing and all, but then when Virgil's around Dante gets distracted by talking about how his big brother is the coolest big brother ever and better than every other big brother in the world. He will straight up call Virgil his favourite brother while Homer is right there, and that is the only thing that has ever ended up going to Virgil's head. Virgil basically acts like Sans with Papyrus when talking to or about Dante, like he'll intentionally brag to anyone about his awesome baby brother when he knows he's around just so Dante know how proud he is of him.

I could go on, but I unfortunately don't have the time. I must go, farewell fellow fander!

Oh I love this! Older brother Virgil always has my whole heart! This is so cute!

FSS3 Episode 13: Brainstorming together

There has always been a missing something in the creative process.

Updates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

What is FFS3 - Introduction - Season 2 finale - previous episode - next episode

AO3 link for this episode

DISCLAIMER: As said in the introductory post, Fanders Sides Season 3 (season 2 finale included) could have triggering themes/scenes. Please keep that in mind before reading.

_______________________________

Thomas is in his living room when he gets a phone call: it’s the production team of the hero’s movie. Thomas’ performance has been very appreciated and they would love to see it again. Would Thomas be available for a callback at the end of the month?

Thomas barely makes them finish the sentence, because his answer is yes. He will definitely be there.

The phone call ends, Thomas turns around: all of his Sides are already there, Roman and Remus can barely contain their enthusiasm.

Thomas tells everyone what happened and that he has a callback. Then, he asks Logan to please remember it. And, this time, no other event will be more important than this.

Logan confirms and, with a wave of his hand, makes a planner appear and writes down the callback. He says it’s wonderful news and Thomas should be very proud of himself.

Only after Logan showed his appreciation, both Roman and Remus show their enthusiasm with loud cheers.

Since they are all hyped up, Thomas invites his Sides to do a little brainstorming session. All together, no obligations. Just for the sake of having fun.

Remus is immediately on board, but Roman hesitates a bit. He says that maybe there is something else Thomas should do, maybe he has other plans and that’s not what everyone wants… but as soon as Logan says it’s okay, it will be a nice exercise, then Roman agrees as well - and so does everyone else.

Remus starts throwing suggestions, concepts and thoughts. When he mentions marine creatures, Logan reminds him some animals live only in ultra-deep waters, so Remus switches from a killer whale to an ultra-deep marine predator. When he mentions a serial killer escaping from prison, Logan asks which prison is he thinking about, so Remus replies “Alcatraz!” and changes the escaping plan to include a boat to cross the sea. When he suggests a man dealing with his past lovers, Logan asks why, so Remus says that the man went on a rampage and killed them all.

Every time Logan asks a question, Remus’ eyes shine, he looks happier and more excited. He’s clearly enjoying this back-and-forth and every question, instead of discouraging him, makes him even more creative.

Roman, who was pondering Remus’ ideas, says that the one about the man and his past lovers is interesting. But maybe they need a different approach… maybe the man isn’t just a murderous killer… maybe he’s just thinking about his past relationships.

Is he questioning why they ended?, Logan asks.

Maybe, Roman replies. And maybe he realizes that it has always been his fault. He has never been a good enough partner.

Logan thinks about it. Okay, then what happens? What does it lead to?

Murder!, Remus says.

Anxiety?, Roman says.

Virgil jolts: he looks surprised and confused. Remus immediately jumps on the idea. Yes, that’s interesting! Virgil can help them!

Logan agrees: an accurate representation of anxiety coming from the embodiment of anxiety himself would only be beneficial for their little story.

Virgil fiddles with the hem of his hoodie and avoids everyone’s gaze, but he still nods and tries very hard to list as many symptoms of anxiety as possible: feeling nervous and tense, sweating, trembling, feeling weak and tired, trouble sleeping and so on. Even though he doesn’t look at them, sometimes Virgil’s eyes wander toward Logan: when he notices Logan listening carefully, he keeps going.

Roman, who is carefully listening as well, asks Virgil if all these symptoms can lead to something even worse than sweating or trouble sleeping. Something they could use.

Virgil stiffens. He lowers his eyes and keeps fidgeting. He takes longer to talk but, in the end, he admits it: a very heightened anxiety can lead to phobias, mutism, panic and - in the worst cases, paranoia.

As soon as he mentions this, Patton blurts out that maybe the man isn’t anxious at all.

Logan and Roman both look at him, surprised by the sudden intervention. Before Patton can add anything, Janus intervenes: maybe, he says, what Patton meant is that when the man looks back at his past relationships, he tries to understand what went wrong, knowing full well he did his best to be happy with his past lovers.

What went wrong, then?, Logan asks.

He did things the wrong way, Roman replies, looking down. He forced his lovers to do what he wanted to do. He thought they all shared the same passions. He never thought they would love something different. That’s what led to him feeling sad and realizing he wasn’t a good partner.

Roman lifts his head again. He keeps going, by saying that everything changes when the man realizes his mistake: he wasn’t thinking logically. He wasn’t using his brain. He let his emotions overcome him. And with that new understanding, he can finally leave his past behind and move on with his life.

Logan blinks, taken aback by the sudden resolution. So… that’s it? All the man had to do was “use his brain”? And the problem is now solved?

Sure?, Roman replies. The man thought about it and found the solution. This is the best thing to do, after all: It makes no sense to be overly emotional and dramatic when everything can be solved with the help of a little logic.

Logan looks at Roman and his nervousness, at how he tries to sound convincing even though he clearly doesn’t believe his own words. He looks at Virgil, who is still fidgeting, trying to ease the nervousness to be useful. He looks at Janus and Patton, both stiff and still, their mouths shut closed.

He exchanges a glance with Anger: unlike the others, he’s more relaxed and he has no issues holding Logan’s gaze. He even lifts both eyebrows, as if to say: “You can see it by yourself”.

And Logan does. So, he sighs.

He says that he understands what they’re trying to do: they want to make him feel important. And that’s very nice coming from them, he’s very thankful for their concern. But it’s not necessary, not like this. He’s good now: he and Thomas had a long conversation and things are better.

Are they?, Patton asks and he both looks and sounds extremely worried. He doesn’t want Logan to feel alone ever again. He doesn’t want to force his own thoughts and ideas or steal Logan’s voice again. Logan has every right to say what he thinks and Patton is more than happy to stay on the sidelines and let him do whatever…

Logan stops him. It’s okay, he confirms. Sure, his ideas might be more similar to the ones the Instinctual Sides share, but that doesn’t mean Patton isn’t his friend anymore. They are still friends. His emotional morals are as important as cold, logical thinking. They are both useful.

No, they are all useful, he says, looking at each of them. He always knew. And he should’ve said it long ago.

Logan takes a long breath. Thomas made a mistake in the past by hiding some Sides and that led to a one-way vision of the world. That stifled his Creativity, heightened his Anxiety, radicalized his Morality. And forced Logan to become more logical and less spontaneous, to “fill the void” left by a missing, more cynical mentality.

(Logan turns towards the Instinctual Sides)

But now they are all there, he says. They are together, all seven in the same room. And Thomas knows about the existence and role of every single one of them. There is no need to take up the role of someone else. They can make their contributions by being themselves. And thanks to them, to all of them, Thomas can learn more about the world around him.

Thomas looks at him with a soft smile and says he really, really missed his logical thinking. Logan smiles in turn and gives him a little bow of the head, a silent “My pleasure”.

For a moment, everyone is silent, just accepting Logan’s words and the reality of being all seven together.

Then, Janus breaks the silence and asks: why should the man think he is not enough, when he can think his lovers are not enough?

Maybe he made some mistakes in the past, Patton replies and his voice looks a lot more lively and relaxed now. Maybe he did wrong and he’s now reflecting upon his mistakes and trying to do better.

Virgil joins the brainstorming and he looks much more relaxed too. Maybe, he adds, first the man is angry at his lovers, then he gets angry at himself. And in the end, he realizes they were both at fault.

And a murder sentence in Florida results in life in prison without parole, so he has a lot of time to think about it, Remus adds. (He too looks brighter, happier and more excited.)

And maybe all this time in jail helps him, Logan adds. If this story takes place in another state, he can serve a few years and get out of prison. But all the time he spent thinking about his life in jail, will turn him into a better man. Once he will be free again, he will be another person. He will know his worth and his flaws.

And he will embrace them both, Roman continues. He will be ready to face everything, even without a new lover waiting for him.

Logan nods: this looks like a much more fitting conclusion. Both he and Roman look at each other and smile.

And then, Roman has a little jolt: oh. This. This is what he was missing!

Logan looks confused, as well as Thomas. Roman explains: during Thomas’ birthday (ref. episode 8), he told them there was something he couldn’t understand that was missing. This is what he was missing! This! A voice of reason, someone who would question his work, analyze it, find the weak parts, and help him improve. The best possible judge.

Roman extends a hand to Logan. Would he like to do that? To help him and Remus improve the creative process?

Logan looks at both Roman and Remus. He asks if they’re truly sure about it.

It wouldn’t be worse than dealing with my brother, Roman jokes.

I already told you that you play a role in the creative process, Remus says. (ref. to end card episode 2)

Logan accepts Roman’s hand. He will gladly offer them all the help they need.

So let’s do something even better!, Roman suggests, turning to Thomas. Thomas already got him and picks up his laptop: what should they do, to turn all of this into a story?

_______________________________

END CARD

It’s late in the evening, Thomas is still on the couch. Logan is the only Side still with him, he’s helping Thomas list the last points of their story.

Thomas closes the laptop with a satisfied smile and thanks Logan for his help: he couldn’t have done it all by himself.

Logan says it’s not a problem, he’s happy to help. Then, his smile fades into a worried expression. Thomas notices and immediately asks what’s wrong.

It’s been a week since their conversation, Logan says. And the first days, everything was quite good. So, considering how quickly things were improving, Logan thought he would’ve improved quickly too.

However, after one week, he still feels uneasy. He still can’t fully accept to loosen up and let his curiosity flow. Even though he was having fun planning with the others (and even if he offered his help to Creativity in the creative process), in the back of his mind Logan still felt he was wasting time. For the entire day, he kept thinking that, instead of doing all of this, Thomas should’ve worked or cleaned his house.

And it’s not fair to think that. They need this too, they need to be curious and creative. He needs it.

Thomas reassures him: that’s okay, it takes time to loosen up after years of being too rigid. But if these thoughts are so pressing, he and Logan can plan a schedule together. So when Thomas has some free time, Logan wouldn’t feel like they are lazing around. Could this help?

Logan confirms that yes, it would be very helpful indeed. He would relax a lot more and, maybe, he would improve faster as well.

Thomas repeats that it’s okay, he can take all the time he needs. No need to hurry.

But Logan feels like he should: the other Sides are trying so hard to cheer him up, to be nicer, to make him feel better. And he doesn’t want them to feel guilty forever or to try so hard to please him. He doesn’t want them to look at him as if he’s a weak, frail Side. He should improve faster, so he can show them everything’s fine.

There’s no need to show that, Thomas replies. Everyone knows how strong Logan is and they know things will get better. They got better after Roman’s breakdown, they will get better after this too.

We went through a lot of shit, Thomas says. We can get up together. You and me.

Logan nods. You and me, he repeats and smiles.

_______________________________

AUTHOR’S NOTE

Before Logan’s breakdown, he refused to even think he played a role in the creative process. See the end card of episode 2: Remus literally told him “You play a role in this” and Logan refused to acknowledge it.

Hence why his breakdown was necessary: because only after admitting his love for art and reaching out for his own curiosity, Logan can finally play a role in the creative process as he should. Only after opening up a little, he can accept that yes, he doesn’t have to be just logical, but he can work along with Creativity too.

However, I also wanted to point out how Logan’s breakdown is a long process. Just like it was for Virgil and Roman, Logan isn’t a new Side already. It will take time for him to become the Side he was always supposed to be, both logical and curious. And this is also why I focused on Thomas reassuring Logan. Logan needs his support more than anyone else’s.

But still, I also wanted to show how all the other Sides are doing their best to support him. Even if the conversation leads to something they do not want to talk about (Virgil), even if they do not feel they should put the attention on themselves (Roman), even just by keeping their mouth as close as possible to not force their ideas (Patton and Janus). Just think about five episodes ago: they were ready to jump at each other’s throats. But things are changing, the alliances they made are finally paying off. The Sides are coming together.

(and the little story has a bit of each of them and their growth because… that’s how a creative process works? You put a little bit of every part of yourself and tie everything with the help of a little logic)

Also, for the first time I introduced an “official” name for the Others. By now, they’ve been called “Dark Sides” by Roman/Thomas and “Others” by Virgil. Since neither of these names truly represents what they are like “Core Sides” does for Roman, Logan and Patton, I chose the name “Instinctual Sides”, because that’s a better representation of who they are. I hope you will like it too <3

for the fandom asks, maybe 8 or 16?

excited to see what you would say for either!

Ooh ok these are good ones!

For 8, I kind of hope people will come to appreciate the more light hearted episodes. Don't get me wrong, I am climbing the walls in my wait for the finale just as much as any other fander, but the asides have given us all so much in the way of character details and subtle references that I love overanalysing. Plus these episodes are usually shorter, so when I don't have alot of time to kill I can still watch one or two uninterrupted, and he's been making these videos specifically to hold us over until the finale and they're all so wildly entertaining in their own way!

With 16, I guess I want people to appreciate how much effort thomas puts into the sanders sides episodes. Every time I rewatch SVS parts 1 +2, WTIT, FWSA, or ATHD I am always blown away by the production value and how good everything looks. From the new locations and freedom of movement to the 8bit graphics and animatic medium, it all turns out so impressive and I don't see enough people talking about it tbh.

I hope these answers make sense, I just got a little carried away with my love for this series lol.

My Caard, Commissions, and introduction :)

let me introduce myself! hi! my name is Nicodemus, but all of my chums call me Nikki. im a queer aspiring comic artist and animator from Toronto! i use They/it/ze/cat pronouns :3

im a long time fander (6 years and going strong) a homestuck, a furry, and a general fan of fiction podcasts!

im also very into Internet history / archiving and examining our fandoms by how we consume fan fiction. (if you ever have any fandom lore youd like to share or a notorious fic from your fandom you'd like me to read PLEASEEE send me an ask!!)

@beepmeowiskarkat is my art blog!

im also matesprites with @levnixattorney <3

my moirail isn't on tumblr but I've gotta bully him to make an acc lol

also here is a direct link to my commission form! :3

im not in a desperate spot atm but definitely not doing well financially. all commissions are very appreciated! :D

[transfemlogan]

if i had proof/evidence i would’ve shared it literal years ago. i’m just trying to prevent anyone else from getting hurt by him. and after how everyone has handled this, i really don’t think opening my heart up and bleeding out for an angry mob who has been nothing but violent is in any way safe, especially since i’m not lucky enough to be able to “prove” it. they’ve made it clear they’ll never listen anyway. why bother…

the death threats concerns is because i was sent countless death threats and kms’s for literally nothing at all by fanders even when i was still with thomas. it kinda ruined fandom for me altogether and i can’t even engage much in any fandom anymore (not even for my special interests :( )because of it. i was anticipating that happening again. and i wasn’t exactly wrong.

i wont be coming back here so if you say anything to me i won’t see it. i don’t know how much more my damn heart can take. i just wanted to protect you all from him so he couldn’t ever hurt anyone else ever again. it hurts that everyone’s response is so cruel. just let me help you…

thanks for the donation btw. i’ll post proof on twitter of using it for necessities once i get everything i currently have going on sorted out. it’ll help, i do appreciate it. thanks

(sorry you were abused and disbelieved. sending solidarity. NO ONE should need to provide proof/evidence or share every gory detail or be able to perform the perfect victim or whatever to be believed. let’s build a world where it’s as simple as saying “this individual abused me” so no one ever goes through this again, shall we?)

hi, atlas. i know you said you won't see this if I reply, but that's alright.

i will be taking what you say in good faith. i know most people aren't, for obvious reasons, but any feelings I have on this ask or you I will not state.

I'm sorry for whatever happened to you. and it sucks not being able to prove yourself to others. Attempting to speak out, only to get ridiculed and attacked is one of the most scary things about trying to speak. Again, I can 100% relate as someone who grew up in an abusive household and was in an abusive relationship. I hope you can find the help that you need & I hope my donation helped at all.

I will say, however, creating a world where someone can just say something and have it be believed no matter what is not a world I want to live in. Which I know is hard for a lot of people to understand, because S/A & abuse is one of the worse things someone can do and whoever does it deserves a neverending punishment, but people are liars. And while people who lie abt S/A & abuse are a very small amount of people, it still happens.

And there's a different set of "rules" when it comes to certain situations. I expect my friends and family to believe me about my abuse, but I don't expect strangers to about another stranger without any proof. If my abuser somehow became super famous, I do not expect them to believe me immediately without any evidence, bexause anyone can just say anything.

(Plus, I'd argue not every situation is black and white— yes, my ex emotionally abused me and caused trauma that I still deal with today after 5 fucking years, but I do not view her as an abuser. We were both children and it was her first relationship. She was just a very insecure person and we were surrounded by the wrong group of friends. That's my specific situation, obviously, but me-a-year after it happened and me-5-years-later both have very differing views on the situation.)

I hope you can heal through whatever this is.

[nico-the-overlord]

Would appreciate reblogs to get a bigger sample size of this

[uhhh-hi-there-i-am-nervous]

Felt as though I had to do art for Virgil's birthday so I made some pixel art of a present (from Roman) and a Birthday hat. I also wrote a pixelated note (is it from Patton, Roman, or the fanders?).
