That's the thing!!! C!Thomas could probably benefit from indulging in dark creativity, be that breaking something, writing something gruesome, or in general just screaming really loud. He hasn't ever really fully leaned into that and I think it'd be good for him to have that catharsis.
But dark creativity and intrusive thoughts are not the same and can't be treated that way regardless of the fact they are combined into the one facet.
Especially in WTIT where he's fully leaned into the intrusive thoughts role.
Dark creativity is generally beneficial to Thomas because giving Thomas a greater perspective for his art is useful. However, intrusive thoughts are never helpful, and none of them have anything to do with the actual issues Thomas is dealing with. Generally Remus is much more likely to emerge and cause chaos when Thomas is already upset or anxious about something else because when Thomas is already feeling low, it is easier to further upset him. You could say that Remus showing up is beneficial to the other sides to indicate to them that Thomas is upset about something, but nothing Remus does has anything to do with his actual issues or realistic problems, he is just creating more anxiety and chaos because it is fun for him, and that anxiety and chaos that Remus causes has nothing to do with Thomas's actual real life issues, they are separate.
As someone who also has intrusive thoughts (twinsies, you and me, I want the window seat), I agree that Remus works like a litmus test, but more so like a check engine light. The light comes on when something is wrong enough, but the light itself does not tell you exactly what is wrong. You have to go into the system, you can't just trust the light. Remus comes around when something is wrong, but hes not giving any good indication as to what. He's playing to sensitivities and insecurities, and while those things are stuff to work on, they are not the root problem. He's misleading.
The issue is that, if Remus is showing up to show something is wrong and he's trying to help fix it, he's going about it in the literal worst way possible. He's not helping by making Thomas anxious and giving him Intrusive thoughts. And he's not really trying to guide anyone to a solution either. Yes he tells Logan he can't fix Thomas by himself, but that's more of a dig at Logan specifically cause Logan would want to fix Thomas by himself, and he can't. Remus is enjoying the misery.
He may be recognizing something is wrong, but he doesn't seem to care about the solution. If anything, it would be more beneficial for Remus if Thomas was to remain upset and anxious cause that's when remus is more likely to be listened to and kept around.
On one hand I can agree that it might be a disservice to reduce Remus to shits and giggles. How ever, he hasnt really proved much reason otherwise. In general I actually do believe he is in it for shits and giggles and that his character is that one dimensional. He's shallow enough that he would do things, and has done things, for the soul purpose of making someone upset or because he thinks it's funny.
The only solution I can see him being a part of is pushing Thomas so far to the breaking point so that he does indulge in dark creativity, but if he does that, he's not doing that to fix things, he's doing it because it's going to be fun.
In the end I think we just have a fundamental disagreement on what Remus motive is. I just haven't seen anything that indicates he wants to help as a whole. He likes poking the bear "just because" in my opinion.
But I do still agree with original sentiment, I think he's incredibly clever in the way he does what he does, he knows exactly how to get under everyone's skin and takes full advantage of it.
I don't think Remus is given enough credit for being clever.
#remus sanders#this has genuinly been such an entertaining conversation#normally when i talk to others about remus characterization its usallly either#a) someone who agrees with me and thats validating but the echo chamber isnt exactly thought challenging#or b) someone who thinks my disagreement is personal attack on them and either wont or cant explain their pov#its so nice to talk to someone who has conviction in their opinion#regardless of the fact that i dont think we are going to agree on certain points of character#this has been the most fun talk#(ノ•̀o•́)ノ*:☆♡・゚✧♡#my wife spell checked this for me 😌

🌺💘🌷 Get to know your mutuals! When you get this, it means someone wants to know more about you, so list 5 things about yourself you want your followers to know! They can be as simple as your age or as complex as your deepest fear, as long as it’s something you’re comfortable with sharing. When you’re done, send this to 10 people you want to get to know better!🌷💘🌺.
Hvala!!
This seems like a great way to pass that time, now that
1. I am illegaly staying in the dorms(*for anyone that doesn’t know the situation in Slovenia – it’s not actually “illegal,” it’s just that the govt put out an Order for all students to leave the dorms (the only official exceptions are foreign students, those with a permanent residence there and student families) //and it was given out at like 4:30 pm on Sunday, the last day when public transport was still operational (and I didn’t even get the email informing me that we should leave by noon on Monday until midnight lmao; I did know about it through fb and the news tho)// and some of us thought that was bs – esp considering there are people at home that are more at risk of being severely affected (like my grandma, or elderly neighbours) than my one (1) other roommate that remained in the apartment I’m in; also the prospect of staying home for two or more weeks?* not fun … so anyway, the dorm management did give out the order for people to leave, but relied on people adhering to it of their own volition and didn’t actually set out to enforce it, so yesterday the janitor just came in, asked who’s staying in the apartment, said ok when we answered and left without any further comment). So yeah, I’m still here.
*I’ve got wisdom tooth removal scheduled in April anyway, so I’ll be spending some time home then anyway. If it’ll happen at all with everything going on…
Anyhow… on to other (more random) stuff:
2. For some reason I remembered one of my favourite TV characters, Elsbeth Tascioni, today, so now I’m rewatching all the episodes of The Good Wife she’s in.
3. Most people on here don’t follow me long enough – though I was in fact on tumblr then too – to remember/know that during the first year of my studies, I was studying meteorology.
4. I wish I could be pretenious and say that when I’m studying I listen to classical music or sth fancy like that, but in fact the music I listen to is often mashup mixes or remixes of this kind (ever since I first discovered them in 2015). Or the 1 minute of screaming in Twenty One Pilots’ Kitchen Sink (hits just right 😌 ; and it also has a longstanding tradition). Otherwise, normal music too lmao (I just checked and my music folder is nearing 10GB lol).
5. On Saturday, I found another favourite word: rogovíla ‘a forked (and crooked) branch, tree’(to add to osónčje ‘the Solar System; a planetary system’, čár ‘charm; spell; magic’, ròj ‘a swarm’ – rojíti ‘impfv. to swarm’, porodíti–porájati (se) ‘pfv.–impfv. arise {usually in the mind}’, spreletéti–spreletévati ‘pfv.–impfv. to be momentarily filled with {a feeling}, to have the chills’).
