A Really Stupid Pet Peeve of Mine
One random thing that annoys me sometimes for some reason is when people refer to Patton solely as Thomas’ “moral side.” Like, when someone is introducing all the sides, they say the Logan is logic, Virgil is anxiety, Roman is creativity and passion, and Patton is morality.
The series may have recently been leaning into the moral aspect of Patton more, but he has previously been established to be a lot more broad than that. He preserves all of Thomas’ more nostalgic memories (as shown in Moving On Parts 1 & 2). He encourages Thomas to do the little things that make him happy (Mind vs. Heart and Growing Up show this especially well). He often says that he is Thomas’ emotions, or at least holds them.
Patton is fun and playful and sometimes ignores doing these more “ethics” centric duties in order to just enjoy life. In fact, most of the time, it seems like being Thomas’ moral compass is kind of a side gig rather than his main job.
His sense of morality is also shown to be both firm and loose at the same time. He has his core central values, and definitely has some of the more simplistic stuff down, but most of his more complex moral decisions are pretty in the moment and it feels like those more intense ones are more...shaky? If that’s the right word? His moral compass gets very confused and mixed up quite easily, and while that can happen to us all, it seems odd for a side whose whole thing is morality.
I was thinking about his almost contradictory nature a bit ago, as the title wasn’t adding up to me. How can he be Morality but also be the one in charge of the majority of Thomas’ emotions? That doesn’t make any sense. He seems more like just Thomas’ emotions who strongly affects his morals. So what does he have to do with morality? Then I remembered something that was right in front of my face: they don’t always refer to him as morality. Sometimes, they would call him Thomas’ “heart.”
And that makes so much more sense than him being morality specifically. Him being the heart explains everything about him and his actions. Metaphorically, we say that our feelings are stored in the heart, and that our heart is where some of our more instinctual morals are. The heart is often carefree and sometimes a bit fickle, often changing course in the moment.
It also explains why Patton’s moral dilemmas felt so weird to me. Because he isn’t morality specifically. He is more the instinctual and emotion driven side of morality. You could argue that ethics are always driven by emotion, but ethics also do sometimes have a sense of “logic” to them. Ethics are complicated, which is likely why Patton has such a hard time with his morality. It’s because it’s only a part of his job, and it isn’t his job alone.
So everything made sense. Patton isn’t Morality, he is Heart. He is Thomas’  sadness, happiness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust. He is the most simplistic and yet most complex side. His job is probably one of the hardest, in a way, as he carries many of the most all consuming and overwhelming emotions, like sadness and grief.
Now, there are other sides like Virgil and perhaps the Orange side (if people’s theories are correct) who are in charge of certain emotions. But Patton is in charge of the basic ones specifically. Thomas has a fear of spiders, and therefore Patton has a fear of spiders, whereas Virgil doesn’t. If we are going with the theory that Orange is something like Wrath or Rage, that is still slightly different from anger. And we rarely associate anger with the heart either way, unless it is very deeply rooted. On top of this, Rage and Wrath are much more festering, something that doesn’t seem to fit with what Patton is about.
All in all, this is my probably completely pointless post about why Patton is Thomas’ Heart, not his Morality. This is a really dumb thing to get annoyed over, but I just needed to let it out. It can lead to so many misconceptions about him as a character if we go with the mindset that his entire title is Morality rather than Thomas’ Heart. I’m pretty sure that everyone will read this post and say “well yeah, duh, we already know that. Way to state the obvious and get worked up over nothing.” But in my defense, I am neurodivergent and particular about everything.
So yeah, those are my thoughts on that.

"Why are you so picky when it comes to video games?!"
Well you see, my brother and I grew up extremely poor. We often didn't have internet and couldn't consistently research the games we were buying. We had to work entirely off of rumor and game casing to infer it was going to be a fun buy.
If we agreed on getting a game we knew it was going to one of four new games we got in a span of years. If you have a good game that doesn't matter. There is so much to do in a good game. Even if you finish it, you'll be willing to do it all over again just for the fun of experience.
We got one shitty video game once, and never were the same

got tagged by @tsnbrainrot to list my top five songs on repeat at the moment. One of which is 100% their fault. Here they are.
I'm literally tagging everyone reading this coz i want all of the music recs! Tag me i really do want this!
If you don't pay for spotify, and therefore can't listen to just one song, they are amongst the song on my Right Now playlist here. I promise all the songs are good? Some are on the slow side cos i often listen to it as i go to bed (muse and spice girl songs especially).

there are TWO covers of washing machine heart by mitski that I like.
mitski - washing machine heart (cover) - YouTube
julia dróżdż. very fun unique take on the instrumentals, and her singing really captures the vulnerability of the lyrics I think
washing machine heart | mitski cover - YouTube
clem turner. great voice and absolutely GENIUS repetition of the "I know who you pretend I am" line throughout the rest of the song.
that is all. goodbye

I need a new sketchbook
The one I have left is bigger than my usual books, and it feels weird to "waste" the size for simple 1-2 character drawings

heads up every time a product package changes it means they probably also changed the ingredients!

I always *want* to do this, but can’t stomach/don’t have the patience for certain movies & TV shows.  I’ve watched a good amount of Ralph Fiennes’ material, but not all of it.  Same for Mark Ruffalo.  I’ve watched much of Aidan Turner’s, but refuse to watch some; I’ve tried watching more of Oscar Isaac, but won’t do the St4r W4r5--for anybody, ever.  Now, if that franchise were to cast several of my fantasy boyfriends all in the same movie and make them do stuff naked, I *might* just fast-forward to those scenes.  This is why I frequently prefer gifs and segments posted to youtube.  There’s a lot of time involved in watching every single piece of film someone has put out.  In the case of Oscar Isaac, I tried watching that recentish-one with Jessica Chastain, where they get a divorce, but found it horribly depressing.  And then I watched another one with him where he’s in Vegas, counting cards or something, and I nearly fell asleep on it.  I need to be interested in the story, too.  Otherwise, gifs suffice.
