I hope everyone with paras that are twins has a great day

My sasi animatics are usually just recaps of episodes but I had an idea that I aggroed on LOL so (ill explain the idea more vvv because im insane)

I don’t think that Logan would ever duck out as a result of the lack of acknowledgement he receives. I don’t think he would ever take HIMSELF out of the picture… but I don’t know… him taking the others out is an interesting idea. tehehehee..

I really liked the idea of Logan cutting all contact between Thomas and the others via restricting everyone to their rooms (even if I don’t really rhink something like this would canonically happen, still an interesting thought). And Virgil wants to help him, or stop him, or do anything about this, but seeing someone you are possibly the closest with being corrupted by someone you’ve distanced yourself from for so long kind of muddles what the right way to go about that would be.

So Thomas can feel himself falling into the steadfast work prioritization. And Remus, well Remus is no stranger to being hidden away from Thomas, so he wont let himself mourn the prematurely fleeting liberation. Roman, not used to being trapped in the confines of his own room, is quickly holed into an unbreakable maladaptive daydreaming state. Janus knows well and good what’s happening, it was inevitable, he just never expected such a direct approach from Logan. And Patton,, we know how Patton gets when stuck in his room too long :///

But with that all out of the way Logan and Thomas can finally start a new day and get working. yaayyy..!

I hope someday there's a Sanders Sides about Maladaptive Daydreaming and we see Roman's room in it

I promised, promised myself that I wouldn’t read the Roman König x Fee fic until it was completed because I knew i would get absolutely drawn in, wrapped up in your exquisite prose, then get addicted and suffer from withdrawals. Unneeded to say I broke said promise and welp here I am 🤡

Thing that surprised me was how quickly he endeared himself to me? A cock swinging village massacring brute that I was FULLY prepared to hate had me sighing by then end of chapter 3 with the “you care about my head?” ✋😩 YES I worry for your stupid head you adorable monster.

It’s uncanny how similarly Fee and I felt as the plot progressed. I know this is a self insert and though I made an OC for fee, you were able to capture the feeling of hate to curiousity to distrust to budding emotions on the readers side so beautifully and in only three chapters?? What sorcery is this?? I could go on and on about how I’m just… in awe of your writing skills.

It’s the small things too. The effort he went through to understand Fee, learning her language like he desperately wants to be a part of her. It’s just his delight in the simple things like having a woman and buying her pretty things. I AM GOING TO GNAW OFF MY ARM THIS IS SO GOOD!! I don’t know if you’ve watched HBOs Rome, but they remind me of Pullo and Eirene so much! Like you can’t tell me König doesn’t fit that goofy brawdy soldier who’s only hobbies are drinking and fucking and fighting to a T!

Then it got me thinking…. If König is Pullo then Simon is Vorenus. He has that straight laced, no bs aura about him. Now I’m imagining them both in this universe and please excuse me while I melt in a puddle 🫠

This is perhaps the best piece of fiction I’ve read in a while. I can’t wait for part 4, I have no doubt it will be wonderful as usual. Please accept my maladaptive daydream interpretation of Fee (first she was supposed to be a wood nymph, then the earth goddess then a fairy queen?? I’m not sure anymore. There was so much great imagery couldn’t settle on one. Your honor, we lost the plot.)

Oh my goodness OH MY GOODNESS ❤️❤️❤️

You shower me with praise and I’m over here like aaahh... for me? 🥺❤️

And yes I’ve watched Rome like four times at least! Every time I watch it just gets better, the producers and crew really outdid themselves with all the details in that series. I consider it one of the best TV shows ever made and excuse me but you opened a Pandora’s box here, I'm just so pleased you brought this up...

It took so much time for Pullo to grow on me, I was so frustrated with his character but when he killed Eirene’s man because he was so in love with her and was just like: “Oh there's something in the way of our love? Oh well. *there*, solved.” Gosh I was IN LOVE. I’m sorry, I’m a horrible person, but I fell in love with Pullo right that second. And yeah König is kinda like Pullo in that sense! Eirene wails at the corpse of her ex-lover and Pullo is just like “Um, yeah nasty business but… why are you crying? Oh, oh yeah, oops. But hey, we could be together? Oh, you don’t want me? Damn. How come?” I wanted to shake and kiss him for being so dumb and adorable.

And Ghost is Vorenus YES, you get it 100 %! And the tragic love story of Vorenus & Niobe, oh god, took me about a month to get over it. And Vorenus being under the protection of Mars first and then literally becoming Pluto, the Lord of the Underworld… The mythology nerd in me is swooning over here. The only thing about Vorenus that's slightly König coded to me was when Pullo had to explain to him what a clitoris is, and Vorenus is like “How do you know this about my wife?!?!” and almost kills him :D That’s so so Roman!König.

But AHHH let me squeal about your maladaptive daydream adaption next: she’s the most gorgeous Fee ever, so lovely and feminine and yet, strong and possessing that earthly power in her. I love the color of her dress too!! There’s a lot of earth & water elements linked to Fee so that color (green to turquoise?) is the most perfect combination of earth and sea, while König is more like fire & air, coming from the mountains and slow to anger but when the fire rises, no one is safe...

This was so lovely, thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the rest of the story 🩷💋

Out of curiosity. When you’re world building for a new story…

What’s a bit of that process like?

I think you did an incredible job with the LOTBB! So I’m excited to see with this story!

Well recently in the past 3 years it’s started with me having an idea. Whenever I get an idea or spark of inspiration I start looking for any sort of media in the subject matter of what I’m writing about. So i’ll usually compile a movie/show list. Sometimes watching movies also spark ideas for me as well. It helps to be a bit of a maladaptive daydreamer too.

Next, I’ll start running the ideas through my head and usually parts of the story comes to me through visions of particular scenes. I’ll create a music playlist that relates to what I want to create and I will compile about 100+ songs and play it while I’m writing out specific scenes. The music usually helps me push the words into a document. In between writing specific scenes I’ll start to outline the plot. I try to catch the ideas as they come to me rather than pushing them down and pulling them out in chronological order. If it comes to me I write it immediately. While outlining the plot I start to get down to the basics of each character and what the point of all of it is. This starts by asking myself questions and typing them. For example:

“What does Dracula look like? Where does he come from? What is his demeanor ?”

After, I usually will spend months at a time in that head space. I’ll move onto the first chapter and then write the remaining chapters as they come to me. I prefer to have a few chapters already in the chamber before I start posting. I’ll also compile photos for mood boards as well as search for similar art on my tumblr. If you scroll through my tumblr you’ll usually get hints on the mood or subject matter that I’m working on. Since Roman is going to be a vampire there is a lot of dark gothic photos. Old pictures/paintings ect. The female protagonist is from the south (Louisiana) and she has occult knowledge while also being involved in Christianity and Catholicism from birth. You’ll see pictures of cathedrals, castles, crosses, ect. You’ll also see southern landscapes, marshes, swamps, cypress trees, and moss. I repost anything that feels similar to the subject matter I’m writing about. I’ll do this for months until I’m satisfied and ready to post it.

And Thankyou for reading LOTBB, I worked very hard on it after taking a long break from writing seriously. ❤️❤️

[parsnipsginger]

i swear tonight im gonna maladaptive daydream so hard

gonna make those motherfuckin charcaters do Things the same way romans made the gladiators fight

[km-navia]

Are you me? Cause girl Same!!

PPGxRRB was my introduction to shipping and I didn't even know what it was back then.

But I got alot great songs like Bad boy, Criminal, Everytime touch, The way you are, Bad romance, Monster by Dia and Meg, Romeo and Juliet by toy box , And Best friend by toy box. Also Bumble bee by Bambee and Born this way by lady gaga.

(So much great songs from Tribute and Amv, and slide shows). And chat rooms.

It was the reason why I wanted to draw. So I could recreate comics of my fanfiction. XD

Ppg is also made me discover Ppgz which was how I got into Anime. I will never forget my roots too.<3

And yes, I'm also a Color code Girly. *^*

I was never much fan of mix colors. (I only liked the ones that had Blossom in it, Like Blossutch or Blossoomer). Even now I'm more neutral with most mixed pairings, It's like Cute but I'm not invested or It's Cute but it's not my cup of tea.

Color code was always my favorite, With Blossick was my Roman Empire growing up.Idk but enemy to lovers, Count me in, I eat that shit up for breakfast. 😂

And I love calling them the valentines Day couple since Pink and Red are the go to valetines day colors.

Also Nightcore was my shit. And still my shit till this day. But now I kinda also listened to slowed version of songs. (Without reverb). But PpGxRRB would fuel my Maladaptive daydreaming.

I will live and DIE by ppg x rrb

I started my fandom journey with ppg ship fanart set to nightcore music and I will never forget my roots

How else, pray tell, does one find new music? How else was I meant to listene to Cascada’s Bad Boy?

[everyone-with-a-para]

I hope everyone with a para called Roman has a great day

[astronomical-bagel]

concept: darkside roman is daydreaming, lost in a fantasy world an unable to interact with the real one.

Blue I made a wholeass au in my head because of this ask I HOPE YOURE HAPPY

(Seriously tho, this wasn’t meant to be so long—it just kinda grew)

I think I’ve seen a Maladaptive Daydreaming! Roman  somewhere, tho I can’t remember who made it. I think, if I made my own version of that, his theme song would be “Oh No!” by Marina (”tv taught me how to feel, now real life has no appeal”) and he would just kinda... sleep all day and stay in bed, and if anyone tried to get him out and make him do stuff, he’d snap at them and be grumpy the whole time, and sooner or later, he just locks his door so he can daydream in peace, and be stuck in his own little world.

Soon enough, his room starts changing to match what he’s dreaming about, and he can’t tell the difference between being awake or asleep or daydreaming, but he doesn’t care anymore.

The others get worried—because are those plants coming from underneath the door?— but ultimately they decide he needs space, because they don’t want him to be uncomfortable as he obviously was any time he came out. And they can’t actually open the door, and he doesn’t want them in there.... so they don’t do anything, just knocking when they think no one else is there and asking when he’s gonna come out (they expect a joke of ‘im gay’ or something, but he never replies)

And now Roman is in sort of a Sleeping Beauty situation, trapped in his own mind, not that he cares. Things are much more exciting in here, and he’s a hero, a prince! People love him in his dreams! Other times, he’s an actor in broadway, with a crowd roaring in front of him, or maybe he’s fighting a dragon, or he has fire powers!

But... the other sides are never there in his dreams, and the faces in front of him are always blurry and indistinct, and he has to fight to stay happy, because the moment you get scared or upset in a dream, you lose control, and you become trapped in a nightmare, but with no one to talk to... no family to support him... he can’t stay happy all the time!

and BAM, the moment he stops trying to smile, he’s trapped in a seemingly eternal nightmare and everything’s confusing and weird and when people hit him it actually hurts, and he’s losing battles and he’s forgetting his lines and his flames get of control and they hurt everyone, he’s hurting everyone—

And Thomas, who throughout this time has been lazier, less passionate, increasingly sleepy and keeps getting lost in his thoughts, suddenly can’t sleep at night because of nightmares, he’s stressed because of how behind he’s gotten on work, and he’s even MORE stressed because he knew he SHOULD work but he’s so tired but every time he sleeps he has a nightmare, and by now he and the sides know something is wrong, especially because the plants crawling out from Roman’s door are now gnarled and black instead of green and lush, and they have thorns now. And they’re so worried for Roman but the stupid door won’t open and so they get Remus to bash a hole into the door—the plants seem to be trying to keep them out— and when they get in their jaws just drop in pure amazement because holy SHIT there is an entire castle in Roman’s room and the thorns are so thick and there’s ominous clouds and lightning and rain coming down in sheets. The place looks like it could’ve once been beautiful, but now it looks similar to Pink Diamond’s garden after thousands and thousands of years of neglect.

And they know, by sheer nature of Roman, what they have to do—and by sheer nature of gravity, it is going to be very, very hard to do that, because of course they have to find their way through the dilapidated castle, and of course Roman is in the tallest tower. Oh, and the gigantic red dragon flitting around in the clouds isn’t really going to make things any easier.

At least there’s stairs.

But in the castle, there’s traps, too. Remus makes his way through most of them with ease, and Virgil is paranoid enough to expect any trap, but they have to stay behind for the others. They have to fight, too, like they’re in the final level of a video game. Weird beasts, bats with cat heads that breath fire (bcats? Cat bats?) and alligators with freakishly long tongues that try to wrap around you (alligatoads? Frogidiles?), and lion-bears, that even Remus has trouble defeating, and he’s the best fighter besides Roman.

They’re almost to the base of the tallest tower when the dragon above them decides to make an appearance.

She’s tall, big, and red. Like Clifford, If he had scales and claws and breathed fire. She blocks their way to the tower stairs, hissing and blowing warning fireballs in the torrents of rain.

But...she never directly attacks, only defense. She’s trying to keep them from the door.

She’s protecting Roman.

In the end, all it takes is some soft words, an entreaty—and a couple apologies for trying to hurt her— to get her to move so they can pass. Patton approves.

Past the stairs, the thorns are back, this time crawling and writhing along the ground like living beings, but instead of seeming like they attacking like the monsters in the lower castle defending like the dragon, they seem... trained towards the main room, set in an almost strategic manner, every thorn pointed inwards.

They get to the top, hacking and moving tendrils away to clear the stairs, and then, laying almost peacefully in bed... is Roman. He’s in all black, his sash pale, making Roman look ashen and grey. Thorns caress his face, and it looks like it could have once been loving, but the thorns are digging into his skin now, making bright beads of red pop up on his par skin. It almost seems like Roman’s dead, if it weren’t for the uneven rise and fall of his chest, the little whimpers escaping his mouth, the way his face twitches and twists as if he is in pain—or like he’s terrified.

When Roman wakes up, the thorns are completely cleared away from his bed, and the sides have fallen asleep around his room—some sitting on his bed, others on the armchair in the corner, Remus is just laying spread-eagle on the rug— and Roman isn’t quite sure what’s happening, only that he’s not having a nightmare anymore, and that his family is here.

And Thomas sleeps better than he has in months.

Living in fantasy worlds AKA dealing with your problems through escapism.

I think Roman would have this problem as well.

This looks really different from my usual work ‘cause I made this at 2am and wanted it to be more simple, this is mostly a vent(?, but I’m sure a lot of ppl can relate

[anxiousgaypanicking]

what about the twins having maladaptive daydreaming, so oftentimes, when they listen to music especially, things in the imagination/mindscape will actually change and new things will form as a result, and its something the twins cant control, so they treat it like new decor

the candles that have started growing from the ceiling? light sources! the way the wax melts defies gravity anyway

the black hands growing from the walls? coat hangers! they usually form in bunches anyway

they learn to make the most out of an otherwise annoying situation

[your-fav-has-madd]

Roman from Sanders Sides has Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder

Requested by: anon

[loganofthenorth]

Janus and Roman walking through a foggy forest together at night while Janus sings this song.

When it gets to; “If Dreams can’t come true, then why not pretend?” Janus is offering a hand to Roman. Roman takes it and they start to dance.

Or: Janus playing this song on the piano in a very fancy ballroom, then at said line he has the piano play itself and starts dancing with Roman.
