Locker Room - March 24 - word count: 261 - @wolfstarmicrofic

Remus crossed his arms, leaning in the doorway to the locker room as he waited for Sirius to notice him.

His boyfriend’s jersey was soaked through with sweat, due to the football team’s recent win against Ilvermorny, another private institution.

The rest of the team were celebrating out on the field, but Sirius's hatred of being sweaty always made him go to the locker room early.

“Oh, hey,” he said, finally looking away from his locker. “Sorry, didn’t see you, Moonshine. Are you enjoying the view?” He winked.

“Oh, very much so,” Remus said dryly, mouth twitching upwards despite himself. “It’s amazing to be standing here and watching you put away your sweaty clothes.”

“I bet it is,” Sirius grinned, stepping away from his locker and towards Remus. “Why don’t I make it up to you?”

“And how do you plan on doing that, sweetheart?” Remus asked, quirking an eyebrow.

“Like this.” 

And then Sirius pushed their mouths together in what could only be described as an explosion: like a fireworks show going off at the same time, like fifteen dozen rosebuds blooming in unison. 

For some reason, it was more electrifying than their first kiss, most likely due to the adrenaline still pumping through them both.

They felt like one entity, a singular being.

Remus had once read that humans were once two-headed, eight-limbed creatures that were powerful enough for Zeus to fear them, so he split the androgynous beings- leaving them to look for their other half, their soulmate.

He’d never believed in soulmates before Sirius.

He did now.

Erudite

The ship fics are adorable, however I am also aro as heck and I have a proposition: Aromantic (possibly acespec, idrc whatever you wanna do there that's not the main focus) Logan being absolutely baffled because the other sides are flirting with each other and getting into relationships and flirting with him (not that he picks up on it) and he's just like. What. (long ask, so cut for brevity) - anon

Could you write a fic with aromantic or aro-spec Roman in it? – monkeythefander

*materializes into existence* Hi :D Mayhaps I request some Logince (Logan and Roman) hurt/comfort? Logan has a nightmare and Roman comforts the touch-starved Logan. Logan being a bit overwhelmed by all his emotions. Roman grounding him and giving him all the affection. Maybe some insecure Logan? Random Headcanon: Roman calls Logan "Erudite" as a comforting, loving nickname? Cause Lo is a lil nerd. Do what you will. Have fun :D – oatmeal-stans-the-trash-rat

THOUGHT THOUGHT THOUGHT!! This has been on my mind for a while Names, as we have learned, are very important to the sides. (this ask is super long so not all of it is here) - anon

Logan blinks awake with sweat soaking his sheets and an ache in his muscles. In the middle of the night, the only solace he can find is with someone who might understand.

Logan blinks awake with sweat soaking his sheets and an ache in his muscles.

"That's it, come on, now…"

There's a voice. Someone is speaking to him. Is it in his head? No, he would not have used such a phrase for himself at this moment.

"Stay with me, come on, I'm right here, wake up, L."

'L.' Ah. Virgil. Logan blinks again, stirring and wincing at the tug in his limbs as a blurry face swims into view. Virgil smiles at him—at least, he presumes he does, it is difficult to tell without his glasses—and ruffles his hair.

"Hey, there, buddy. You doing okay?"

"Virgil?" He swallows through his dry throat and tries again. "Virgil?"

"Yeah, buddy, it's me. You were having a nightmare, do you remember?"

His brow furrows as he tries to recall it. No images come to mind—though perhaps that is for the better—but the ache in his limbs coalesces into a strange and heavy soreness that isn't reminiscent of any sort of muscle pain. On instinct, his hand moves toward its center to try and figure out what's going on, but his fingers only scrabble uselessly against the soft fabric of his shirt.

"Hey, hey, uh-uh," Virgil interrupts, taking gentle hold of his wrist and pulling it away, "stay here. You with me?"

"I'm with you. I don't—I don't remember my nightmare, but my chest—my chest hurts."

"You think it's from hyperventilating?"

He shakes his head. "Not that kind of hurt."

Virgil nods, the mattress creaking slightly as he leans back to give Logan his space. "You wanna talk about it at all? You need to be grounded?"

"Can—?" His throat dries up again mid-question. "Can I have some water?"

"Yeah, yeah, sure, I'll be right back."

The mattress squeaks again as Virgil's weight leaves it, the light to the bathroom and the sound of the sink following shortly. Logan drifts in the strange fuzzy half-dark of his room for several moments more before Virgil reappears with a glass of water. He sits up, carefully, and drinks about half of it.

"Thank you."

"Sure thing, bud. You need me to stay for a little longer?"

The soreness hasn't receded, but the prospect of letting Virgil stay makes it…worse. His fingers twist into the blankets. Virgil waits patiently until he sighs and his shoulders drop. "Can you see if Roman's awake, please?"

Surprise flickers across Virgil's expression, but he nods and stands. "If I can, I'll send him up. If not, do you want me to come back?"

"Just to say you couldn't find him, or he isn't awake. You don't have to stay."

"I don't mind," he says softly, but Logan shakes his head. "Okay. I'll see what I can do."

Virgil sinks out and Logan lets out a breath he hadn't been sure he was holding, putting the glass on his nightstand before his hands can shake too much to spill it. He rubs his chest. The soreness hasn't abated, but the lancing pain atop it has. Despite knowing how ill-advised it is, he finds himself once again trying to remember his nightmare. His fingers worry the creases in his shirt.

A knock on the door startles him out of his thoughts.

"Logan? It's Roman, Virgil said you were looking for me?"

"Come in."

Roman opens the door and glances around, spotting him in the bed and smiling. He looks…far too awake for the middle of the night, but at least he's dressed down in a T-shirt and sweatpants.

"Hi, Specs," he says quietly, shutting the door behind him, "what can I do for you?"

"I—"

Roman's brow furrows when he cuts himself off, taking a small step away from the door. "Can I come over?"

Logan nods and he comes to sit on the edge of the bed, still a respectful distance away, but close enough to lay a hand encouragingly on Logan's blanket-covered knee. Even through the fabric, the touch grows warm in a rush. Roman's hands are callused, he realizes, from years of swordfights and writing alike. His thumb makes little strokes back and forth, filling the room with the sound of fabric rustling.

"Logan?" Roman smiles when he looks up. "I think I lost you for a moment there."

"Sorry."

"Don't apologize, I'm pretty sure it's my fault." He indicates his hand. "Do you want me to stop?"

"No."

"Okay, then." He pats his knee. "Not that I'm not thrilled to see you, but I can't imagine midnight socializing works its way onto The Schedule, so—"

Logan snorts.

"—if you wouldn't mind telling me a little bit about what's going on in your head right now?"

"I had a nightmare."

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"Virgil was here, he…he woke me up. He got me water." Roman nods. "He…asked if I wanted to talk about it."

"And did you?" Roman prompts when he doesn't finish. "Is that when you asked him to get me?"

"Yes."

"Do you…want to talk about it with me?"

His mouth hardens into a thin little line.

"You don't have to," he continues, softer now, "I can just babble on and distract you until you get bored enough to fall back to sleep."

"That's not—" he touches his shirt again— "my chest hurts."

Roman blinks. "Okay. Um, do you want me to have a look at it?"

"…can you?"

"Of course, Specs, can I come a little closer?" Logan nods and Roman scoots up the bed. He briefly mourns the loss of the hand on his knee only for his breath to stutter when Roman's warm hand comes to rest gently on his chest. "Is this alright?"

He nods, not trusting his voice. Roman carefully rubs his hand back and forth, back and forth, in small circles, then bigger circles, then side to side, then down his sternum. A small furrow appears between his brows as he goes. When he's finished, he lays his hand right over Logan's heart and closes his eyes.

A few moments later, he opens them again.

"I can't feel anything wrong," he says, looking up at him, "but it does…I can feel something a little sore. Is that what it is?"

"Yes."

"Do you think it's just from the nightmare?"

"I don't even remember what the nightmare was."

"Okay, that's okay." His fingers tap lightly against his chest. "Is—can I keep asking questions?"

"Yes."

"Thank you. Does it have anything to do with why you sent Virgil to look for me?"

Logan's quiet for a moment. Roman waits patiently, his fingers still drumming lightly against his chest. "I…it didn't feel right."

"Right?"

"To ask Virgil."

"Why not?"

"He's…they're…"

Roman makes a soft oh sound and scoots the slightest bit closer. "Is it because the others are in a relationship now?"

It had been a long time coming, if the others were to be believed. Patton and Virgil and Janus and Remus—the four of them had recently started to explore the dynamics of a polyamorous romantic relationship and it had been going well. The four of them had been…happier than Logan could remember seeing them.

The thought of it is enough to twinge the ache.

"Hey," comes Roman's gentle voice, "stay here with me?"

"I'm here, I'm here."

Roman carefully pats his chest. "I'm guessing that was it?"

"…yes."

"Do you want to talk about that?"

Logan's mouth thins again. "It's stupid."

"If it's giving you nightmares, Specs, it's not stupid."

"It's not—" his head snaps up to look at Roman, who meets him with such soft and patient understanding that Logan's hand twitches toward his unconsciously— "do you…think that's what it was?"

"You woke up without being able to remember the nightmare except for this ache in your chest," he says, "you didn't feel comfortable letting Virgil comfort you, and you asked specifically for me."

Logan swallows. "Your logic is impeccable."

"Why, thank you."

"Still, it seems like an inappropriate thing to have a nightmare about." He shifts to ease a cramp in his leg. "The people that matter to me have gotten together and are happy about it. How is that supposed to give me a nightmare?"

Roman doesn't say anything, just looking at him expectantly. He sighs.

"I don't know, Roman."

"Do you want to try and figure it out, or do you want me to distract you from it until you can fall back asleep?"

"It'll frustrate me if I don't know why."

"Then let's figure it out."

"But that's hard," Logan mumbles, mostly under his breath. Roman chuckles and strokes his thumb across a wrinkle in his shirt.

"You like hard problems."

"Not when they keep me from sleeping."

"Come on, then, Braniac," Roman encourages, "let's get you thinking."

Logan sighs again, leaning back against the headboard. Roman goes to lift his hand from his chest but without thinking about it, he covers the hand, keeping it there. Roman makes a surprised noise.

"Sorry."

"No, no, it's alright." His hand shifts to get comfortable. "Can I ask why—would it be helpful if I asked you questions to help you think, or do you want to do it on your own?"

"You can ask."

"Thank you. Can I ask why you felt more comfortable asking for help from me than from Virgil?"

"We went over that."

"Say it again for those of us in class that aren't as clever as you."

Logan frowns slightly—Roman is clever. "Virgil has recently entered into a relationship."

"So?"

Logan turns to look at him. "What do you mean, 'so?'"

"What does that have to do with Virgil comforting you?"

"I'm not part of the relationship." Roman gestures for him to keep going. "That should—I'm not one of the people Virgil loves. Yes, yes, I know," he interrupts before Roman can say anything, "Virgil might love me, but he's not in love with me—he does not feel romantic love for me."

"I'm going to keep asking you why this matters, Logan."

"He's not—shouldn't he be doing that for his partners?" Irritation bleeds into his words. "Isn't that how that works?"

"How what works?"

"Romance," Logan spits, only belatedly realizing that Romance is Roman's thing, "as soon as you enter a romantic relationship with someone, they become your one and only priority, or whatever, they're who you're supposed to comfort, to seek comfort from, it doesn't matter what other relationships you might have, or might have worked on for years, as soon as someone gets the label of romantic partner, everything else might as well not exist."

Only after he's finished speaking and he sees Roman's expression does he realize what he's just said.

"…oh."

"You're worried the others won't think about you as much anymore," Roman summarizes with devastating softness, "and that they won't see their time with you or their relationship with you as important, is that right?"

Logan nods, shame bubbling into tears that Roman wipes away with a gentle noise.

"Does it scare you?" He nods again. "Oh, Logan…it's okay, can I hug you?"

Logan barely has time to nod again before Roman's sliding up and wrapping his arms around him and oh, Roman is big and soft and warm and his brain isn't coming up with good words anymore and he doesn't care because Roman's still hugging him and the ache in his chest is glowing and he's all warm and it almost burns and it—and—and—and—

"Shh, shh, Logan," he hears from a great distance, "it's okay. I'm right here, okay? I'm right here."

He decides he's not going to think about anything else. Nothing that isn't the fingers running lightly up and down his back. Nothing that isn't being rocked against a strong chest. Nothing that isn't the soothing murmur of words in his ear.

"I've got you, Logan. It's gonna be okay. I'm not going anywhere."

When he next surfaces out of swimming in the sensation of warm soft comfort Roman safe, he realizes Roman's moved them. He's leaning up against the headboard, Logan balanced halfway across his lap. He looks up from where his head is pillowed against Roman's shoulder. Roman smiles.

"Hey," he calls, running his fingers through his hair, "you feel any better."

"Mhm."

"That's good." He returns to scratching lightly between his shoulders. "If it's any consolation at all, I'm sure the others wouldn't be upset at getting able to comfort you at all. I think they'd miss it, actually, and start passive-aggressively fighting for the chance to do it again."

"That's kind of you."

"I'm serious! Mark my words, they'll be squabbling for the chance before you know it."

Despite himself, he laughs at the mental image of it. Roman's chest rumbles with a laugh of his own. "I don't think I would mind so much," he mumbles, tongue loosened by Roman's warmth, "if I didn't know it wasn't for me."

"If what wasn't for you?"

"That sort of thing." When Roman still looks confused, he sighs. "Romance…all of that. That sort of thing."

"What do you mean, romance isn't for you? Not that it's a problem," he says quickly, "that's your decision and you're welcome to make it, I'm just…curious."

"I'm aromantic."

"Oh. Me too."

"I just mean that—" he stops and looks up. "You're what?"

"I'm aro too, Logan," Roman says, smiling softly and running a finger down his cheek. "What's that look for?"

"You're—you—but you're Romance."

"And Janus is perfectly capable of honesty even though he's Deceit. Just because that's what I represent to Thomas doesn't mean I have to experience romantic attraction." Roman shrugs. "It's not like I'm against it, or for it, it's just…well, like you said. It's not for me."

"But—but—" Logan's still trying to make sense of this image— "but you flirt with the others all the time."

"It's fun."

"It's not fun, it's confusing. I get accused of flirting all the time and I don't even know what I'm doing that counts as flirting."

"Well, they're probably guessing that the way they flirt with you is how you'd flirt back at them."

"But that doesn't—"

He stops again. He furrows his brow. He bolts upright to stare hard at Roman.

"What do you mean, how they flirt with me? They don't flirt with me!"

"Yes, they do," Roman says patiently, "believe me, the only reason I know that is because I walk in on them scheming on how to flirt with you."

"They—you what?"

"Look, just because I'm Thomas's Romance doesn't mean I understand all of it myself."

"Why is this so complicated and confusing," he grumbles, letting Roman chuckle and coax him back into a hug, "why can't everyone just make sense?"

"I don't think they'd be themselves if they made sense 100% of the time."

Logan begrudgingly grumbles an acquiescence, but he doesn't have to like it. Judging by the way Roman laughs again and ruffles his hair, he won't hold it against him.

"You look better," he observes softly, smiling, "do you think you might be able to fall back asleep?"

He toys with the edge of Roman's shirt. Most of the ache is gone, but there's something still lingering that he can't quite figure out how to dissipate. "I don't—alright, this next part is going to sound stupid."

"Great. I love stupid-sounding things."

"They have…they're going to have secrets now. And I…I don't…" He sighs. "Do you remember when Patton told Thomas my name?"

Roman nods. Logan rubs the hem of his shirt between his fingers. After a moment, Roman hums. "They shared something private of yours, and now you don't know how to feel that they know everything about you and you won't be able to reciprocate?"

"When did you get so perceptive?"

Roman just chuckles. "I am sorry about the name thing, I don't—"

"It's fine. It was going to happen at some point."

"Still, Logan, you should've gotten to do that on your terms." Roman drums his fingers against the small of his back. "What if…what if we did it over?"

"Did what over?"

"What if you had a name—or something, that was just a private one? And then you could keep it, it could be your secret, and you could decide how you want to tell them about it, if you ever do?"

Heat begins to color his cheeks. "Like—like a pet name?"

Roman looks down. "If you wanted?"

"Okay."

"If you're not comfortable—"

"If it's you," Logan butts in, "only if it's you."

Roman pauses, looking at him, before a soft smile spreads across his face. "Okay. I'm okay with that. Do you have anything in mind?"

"You're Creativity," Logan mumbles, trying to hide his blush in Roman's stomach, "you think of one."

Roman tugs lightly on his hair in retribution but settles, humming as his fingers card along his scalp. Logan finds himself drifting off under the gentle touch, roused here and there by Roman trying out different names. Starlight is too close to his nickname for Virgil, all the generic ones are taken because the others might use them, anything to do with Logic is too impersonal…

"Erudite."

Logan stirs. He looks up. Roman cups his cheek and strokes his thumb across his cheekbone.

"Erudite," he says again, voice gentle and tender, "what about that?"

A lump appears in Logan's throat.

"Is that okay, Erudite?"

He sniffles.

"Oh, it's okay, Erudite, come here…you fall asleep for me now," Roman coos, cuddling a sleepy, weepy Logan to his chest, "shh, Erudite, it's okay…it's okay, let's try and sleep now…"

The ache in his chest fades away as he falls into a dreamless sleep.

Hi! Just getting into Wolfstar and picture this (😅😅) young Remus played by Chris Evans and young Sirius played by Sebastian Stan 🥹🥹🥹 swear that’s how I’ve been seeing them in my head 😂😂 figured you’d have a laugh since I saw Stucky in your bio 😅😅🤣 have a great one!

Oh my yes this is definitely a ✨thought✨ and now we must follow it through 😂

I struggle with Chris as Remus but I do lowkey love this obscenely handsome Seb edit for Sirius:

Can you imagine just a few slutty tattoos poking out from that shirt? 🥵

He's definitely got that family money, but I totally see him working at a dive bar somewhere, making incredible cocktails while all his customers thirst over him 😂

and while we're here, let's just picture an AU where our bartender Sirius meets this Remus, who used to look like a total nerd in school and is somehow unaware that he's now insanely hot

oh no, now you've got me into this too 😂💕

[donothello]

Logan HCs

• He has freckles. But he covers them because he finds them “unprofessional”

• He always acts like no insult ever gets to him but he actually has really low self esteem and cries in his room for a few minutes after the others insult him.

• He hangs out with the dark sides a LOT. He thinks he can relate to them more and they’re a bit nicer than the lights.

• He actually loves to draw. Some of his notebooks have pages and pages of sketches that he drew when he was bored.

• Even though he considers drawing a big hobby of his- he never really told anyone about it besides Deceit and Remus.

• He and Remus bond over drawing a lot. They like to make stories together on paper. Like a collaborated comic.

• He honestly LOVES dirty jokes. He finds witty and dry humor amazing but jokes about the reproductive system or copulating almost always make him laugh- As long as he’s not by any of the light sides. (They need to take him seriously. He can’t be a joke)

• He is the absolute KING of sass. He hardly ever lets his feelings loose because “Uh oh- feelings-” and all that jazz. But he adores making witty comebacks.

• Everyone thinks he likes Big Hero 6 because he relates with a character or he just thinks it’s a genuinely good movie- but it’s actually because he thinks Baymax looks like a squishy marshmallow and he thinks it’s adorable.

(This was basically me ranting about how much i love Logan and the fact that Intruloceit, Loceit and Intrulogical are like.. The best ships, fight me--)

0:52- logan!! the boy!! also, i think this is the first time we've seen one of the sides rise up in thomas' bedroom? not super exciting, but i thought it was interesting.

1:06- i absolutely would have laughed at '69' as well. sorry, logan.

1:33- i also have a 5am and 2pm version of myself, dw thomas.

1:43- rolling out of bed that way is SO damn satisfying. couldn't relate more.

2:14- logan, you're so cute. i love how he gets so excited about his schedule.

3:54- why is thomas turning old?? remus, what did that trap do?

4:00- it's nico! in real life! not cartoon!

4:12- oh, and ancient thomas is here too. that's fun.

4:18- how long has it been since remus has made a video appearance? since the first asides video, which was probably over a year ago? remus stans are quaking rn.

4:45- i just noticed the carrot emoji next to nico's name in thomas' phone and that is such a tiny detail and reference but it's so cute

5:31- remus, you bastard. also, a pin in the food feels kind of simultaneously evil but also below your standards.

5:59- KCUM

6:18- remus there are so many people in this fandom that you turn on, it's so not okay. also, i'm so here for the sexual innuendos.

6:35- it doesn't even surprise me that logan would ruin the updog joke

7:21- roomba on the loose, what crimes will it commit?

7:51- i like how the picture frames went blank; it's a nice detail. reminds me of when hermione's parents' pictures went blank in deathly hallows part two.

8:12- SHAPES AND COLOURS

8:49- roomba has committed a murder

9:22- ROOMBA HAS COMMITTED A LEGITIMATE MURDER

9:34- remus is allergic to soap confirmed

9:44- ok ok. i have a theory. one of the times that thomas' phone buzzes, he's going to pick it up thinking it's a chore alarm, but it's actually going to be nico.

10:04- pirate remus!!

10:11- patton would love the bratwurst pun

11:37- okay i'm here for the rube goldburg traps, but come on, remus. all that was way too much work to freak out thomas. just prank phone call the guy and that would be enough to send him into a panic.

11:56- being that he was in the closet for many years, thomas definitely knows that closets aren't sentient, logan.

12:19- is that supposed to be remus shapeshifting as nico? am i crazy?

14:16- okay so it wasn't nico. it was some random murderer. also, remus has a knife kink confirmed?

15:08- lovely singing

15:18- REMUS, YOU SAUCY BOY. intrulogical shippers are shaking right now.

16:05- can confirm, emergency ketchup does not seem like a necessity.

16:10- solanum lycopersicum!!

17:57- so he was shapeshifting as nico! i think this is the first side to do this other than janus.

18:55- what the fuscia?

19:02- vibey music

19:14- i just had a visceral reaction to logan saying "shake what your mama gave ya"

20:00- okay so i don't think remus was actually shapeshifting, he just created a fake nico as far as i can tell.

20:59- lol the butt scratching. reminds me of a dog.

21:15- wtf. tongue lollipop?

21:24- cruncy bug

21:55- ignoring dummies for dummies. are nerds in blue ties bothering you? iconic.

22:12- WHAT DID I JUST WITNESS? orange eyes obviously have to symbolize the orange side, right? and since logan was angry, maybe this adds fuel to the flame of the idea that the orange side is rage/anger?

22:21- checking your breath before answering a phone call is absolutely something i would do

22:42- nico! the boy is calling! he's so cute. also, i love the reference to the "Mr." thing they did in the last video.

23:50- logan is sad boy :( but go thomas! go get your man!

24:02- what? that's it? what a place to end off at!

24:45- it wouldn't be a sanders sides video without a hello fresh ad

25:05- i love that he has their number saved omg

26:19- bye thomas!

26:27- patton's here!!

26:34- and roman!!

26:43- and virgil! my FAVOURITE boy!

26:50- oh, logan. you deserve all the influence.

2720- ooh, virgil? some resentment?

27:55- thomas is officially in his feels

28:08- janus is here too! which makes this the first video to include all the sides, if i'm not mistaken. also, what's with the mysterious music?

28:21- the orange eyes again! damn!

Final Thoughts:

As always, I'll bey opinion. Nico and Thomas are so cute, and I'm happy we got to see more of them together. I was also excited to see that we got all of the sides in one video, finally, though I'm still waiting for some onscreen interaction between Janus and Remus. The ending was super ominous, so I'm curious as to what's in store for the future. And as you all could tell, I was clearly very interested in the possibility of being introduced to the orange side. I can't wait to see everyone's theories and such.

As always, I'll be tagging spoilers for 7 days after the posting of this video, and I hope you all will too! I'll be using the tags "ts spoilers" and "sanders sides spoilers" respectively.

[nerdygaymormon]

Feel free to ignore this if you are so inclined, I don’t wanna bother you, but do you have any fictional crushes that you’d care to share? While it’s very good and incredibly helpful to talk about your experience and viewpoint in the world of LDS stuff, it feels like we as your audience don’t give your “Nerdy” side enough attention. Sometimes Church can be a little too much so.. in case you need a break from being.. Freelance Church Therapist?? 😅

This is a logical question, given the name of my blog. 

The thing is, when I started this blog I had to choose a name for it and I just described myself. I’m a nerd. I’m gay and I’m LDS. I didn’t know then that writing about being a gay Mormon would be the theme of the blog.

I’ll share some ways that I’m a nerd, but I just don’t think there’s gonna be a lot of interest about that.

—————————

Here’s several examples of the way I’m a nerd:

I post things to my blog, and then I record them on a spreadsheet so I can find again if I need to

I read books and then write reviews about them at Goodreads. 

In college, professors often assign the odd or even problems for homework, but I’d do the whole set

Before seeing a movie, I’ll read the book

If it’s a movie about superheroes, I want to discuss things like how this movie of the X-Men was a metaphor for queer people seeking equality and justice

Instead of shoot-’em-up or fighting video games, I like city planning or world building games

I’m skilled at editing papers, which is why I volunteered to edit transcripts of a podcast

I like K-pop and got together last weekend with friends to eat Korean food and watch documentary videos about the evolution of K-pop from 1992 to present. We got together on a Friday night & watched a Documentary!!!

—————————

As for fictional crushes, I don’t think they’re a result of me being a nerd, I’m gay so I regularly stan couples together even if they’re not “officially” queer. Some examples:

Remus & Sirius (Harry Potter)

Captain Li Shang & Chi-Fu the Emperor’s advisor (Mulan)

Sam & Frodo (Lord of the Rings)

Carol Danvers and Maria (Captain Marvel)

Steve and Bucky (Captain America)

Velma and Daphne (Scooby Doo)

Chad and Ryan (High School Musical)

Sherlock Holmes and Watson (Sherlock Holmes)

Finn and Poe (Star Wars)

Neil and Todd (Dead Poets Society)

Spock and Kirk (Star Trek)

Dean and Castiel (Supernatural)

I know there’s so many other good examples of fictional they-should-be-together couples. I wanna give a shout out to Rick Riordan as his Percy Jackson series includes queer characters and therefore I don’t have to look for (or imagine) queer subtext. 

[eggslovemetoo]

i’m so sorry

Virgil: 2021, baby, new year’s resolution. New year, new me.

Logan: Are you gonna fix your crippling depression this year, Virgil?

Virgil: Shut up nerd, no, I’m gonna be the real me

Roman: Depressed?

Virgil: Would you guys quit with the- no, stop it, Princey! 

Thomas: I don’t really know what your personality is, Virgil.

Virgil: I’m gonna be an eboy this year!

Logan: Excuse me? Virgil: I’m gonna dye all my hair black and look all cute and edgy

Roman: Are you gonna dye some silver so you can be my twin brother Remus?

Thomas: what

Roman: what

Virgil: I bought this cute shirt with black and white stripes and I’m gonna wear a t-shirt over it, and I asked Janus if I could get my tongue pierced too and check out my new eyeliner!

Patton: Are you ok?

Virgil: I already started a tiktok already, you wanna see? Thomas: I don’t really think I wanna see your tiktok, Virgil.

Virgil: I wear white shirts in the shower whilst lip-syncing emo music

Roman: Is the shower on

Logan: He’s imaginary, Roman.

Roman: Yeah, so am I!

Thomas: How many followers do you have? Virgil: Don’t ask me that, I’m shy!

Logan: Is your tiktok unpopular Virgil? Roman: Does nobody love you Virgil?

Virgil: They don’t but that’s uncalled for

Patton: You can’t just say that Roman!

Virgil: Look, it’s 15, K?

Logan: How many of them are the other dark sides? Virgil: I blocked Remus if that’s what you’re asking

Roman: Yas king!

Virgil: It’s hard being famous, though, I’m not used to this!

Thomas: With 15 followers? I’d bet.

Virgil: Huh? No, 15K, like 15 thousand.

Roman: Well suddenly I’m in love.

Thomas: Do you get paid? Patton: Can I be in a tiktok?

Roman: Hey, I was here first! Virgil will you marry me?

Logan: Boyfriend stealer

Patton: I just wanna be on a tiktok

Logan: Remember me when you’re famous, babe

Thomas: If you’re all gonna be feral at least do it outside

The fandom: Oh yeah we stan Virgil

Virgil: I liked it better when I didn’t have friends

[illogicallyinclined]

i’m answerin these together because i Can

remus manages to get logan with a dirty astronomy joke. it’s not even a particularly good one, either, which is what really Gets the Goat. everyone’s just lounging around in the kitchen. logan’s eating a piece of toast. there’s jam smeared across his cheek that neither deceit nor remus have informed him about, both because they are jerks and because they are geniuses. (logan’s a cute nerd, okay.)

eventually, tho. eventually remus goes in for the kill. he gets up in logan’s Personal Space. gets up in his Area. he l i c k s the jam Off Of His Cheek, because he is Like That.

remus: come back to the bedroom with me and i’ll show you that the universe isn’t the only thing that’s constantly expanding.

and logan just. gets got.

i’m talking a guttural little SNRRK that melts into some of the cutest giggling that this world has ever seen

logan pushes remus away, hand on his face. “gross, please act like a person.”

but he is positively beaming

deceit, on the other hand. deceit is among the best at getting logan to laugh. he’s got a dry sense of humor and a working knowledge of philosophy. none of his jokes even??? make any sense???? (not to the others, at least). but logan is Constantly losing it

And The Reactions

first off: logan laughing? like, actually, truly laughing? euphoric. beautiful. crops are watered. skin clears. flowers bloom in a garden two hundred miles away (roman that doesn’t even make sense - “shut up i’m monologuing.”) there is not a single situation where seeing logan laugh will be viewed as a bad thing. however, when he laughs for the dark sides, there’s always a bittersweet twinge among the light. 

virgil is happy to see logan laugh. honestly, he is. it’s… refreshing, seeing logan look so happy. so content. but maybe it stings – just a little bit, just for a moment. because virgil didn’t even realize that logan had been sad for so long until he saw what logan’s happiness looked like.

patton? patton is giddy.��patton is absolutely thrilled. patton isn’t… he isn’t jealous, okay, not at all. he wishes that he could make logan laugh like that, too, sure. but he doesn’t begrudge the fact that the dark sides can. (we stan a Repression King.)

roman is 1) gay, and 2) Extremely Jealous [no repression required]. He Wants What the Dark Sides Have. sure, he’s made logan laugh once or twice, but to see him break into it so often? for deceit? for his brother? unacceptable. 

at the same time, if deceit stops making logan laugh so often, roman is going to kill him. he needs more material for his gushy love poems.

logan lark’s adventures in trying to appease his parents

CHAPTER 4: a tight-knit family

Summary: Logan Lark is a fairly average high school student. By all means, he should be impressing his parents on all grounds. Except...he doesn’t exactly have a social life. So after his parents give him puppy dog eyes, he decides to join the local theatre's youth production. Good grief...His life is about to get weird isn’t it?

Warnings: Potential ooc behavior, Roman is a theatre brat to the highest degree (Sorry Roman stans), Remus being Remus, (If I miss something please tell me!)

Notes: This fic is based off an idea from @under-the-blue-moonlight. If you wanna be tagged in chapters, please dm me!! This chapter we see a LOT of Patton, a little of Virgil, and some Roman being an ass behaviour. I apologize if this chapter is lackluster, it’s important I promise!! Also I just finished chapter 5...its 3295 of intrulogical fluff 

Pairings: Eventual Intrulogical, Eventual Rociet, Eventual One-Sided Logicality, Platonic Analogical, Platonic DRLAMP

After a few weeks, not disappointing Remus was a weak reason to be here. 

Though he never considered himself a quitter, god he would love to just quit one thing in his life. The thing being theatre. 

When Thomas arrived Roman bombarded him with questions. Turns out, Logan was cast as Hamilton due to his exceptional rapping. Roman, weaker at rapping but a very confident and strong singer, could provide the extremely skilled vocal performance required by Washington. If Logan were to get sick, Roman would play Hamilton and Remus would hand over Maria’s part to his understudy. Which made sense, of course. The beginnings of rehearsals were, by all means, not entirely awful. They were going to learn the music to the show, song by song. The first problem arises with Logan’s absolutely awful stage fright. After the first run-through of the title number, Alexander Hamilton, Logan almost threw up again. People looked directly at him whenever he sang or rapped. The musical director, Jamahl, assured him it was fine. Jamahl, as nice as he was, would be receiving a solid two on Logan’s chart. It’s okay, Logan, Everyone gets stage fright, Logan. That, quite frankly, sounded like a bunch of bullshit. Especially since every time Logan got too nervous and messed up, Roman laughed from off to his side. 

Which shouldn’t bother him. It really shouldn’t. Except...Well, it was infuriating to be laughed at. For something he can’t control no less. He was ready to ball up his script and pelt him with paper until he stopped being a colossally egotistical idiot. Along with Roman’s frankly abhorrent behaviour, Logan also had to deal with feigning...romantic intimacy. Don’t get him wrong, Patton was a very nice guy. But...how would you feel knowing your first kiss would have to be fake for a theatre production? Bad. You would feel bad. So does Logan. Logan is sick of all of this, and by the end of the second week he finally snaps. 

When he hears that during Helpless he needs to kiss Patton, he doesn’t bother to hide his surprise. Of course, after he does, Roman decides to open his big dumb mouth. 

“What’s wrong, Microsoft nerd? Upset that your first kiss will be on the stage?” 

Patton reels back and glares at Roman almost instantly, opening his mouth to defend Logan, when Logan turns on Roman himself. 

“I am beginning to wonder if you ever just shut up,” Logan snaps, fists balled in anger.

“Because honestly, for the two weeks I have been in this theatre program, you have done nothing but spout off like a tea kettle about to boil over all because I happened to be better than you at one thing. So I am sincerely asking, do you ever shut up?”

Somehow, he has done the impossible. Roman is stunned into silence, his face goes red with anger. 

“How dare-” Is all he manages to get out before Thomas calls for a five-minute break. 

Thomas motions for Logan to come over to him, and he’s still fuming. If he were as dramatic as a certain hoity-toity theatre brat, he would be practically foaming at the mouth. Thomas is an adult, so he tries to pull himself together. 

“I apologize-” 

“Don’t. Roman kinda deserved that,” Thomas says with a smirk, “He’s a great kid, but he has a lot to learn.”

It’s his turn to be shocked into silence, because never in a million years would he expect an adult to enable such an outburst. 

“Really though, Logan, Just try not to let it happen again. I’ll let it slide this time, okay?”

With a nudge to the side and a kind smile, Logan is sent to have his break. 

Roman is quiet for the rest of the day. Logan could not be more pleased. Roman’s anger at him was unjustified and awful, he was overall awful. After today, he would need to add a negative rating to his charts. He doesn’t think he could ever get along with someone like Roman without eventually succumbing to his anger and strangling him. Logan knows his extreme anger is wrong, but Roman was just...just...absolutely, unbelievably, infuriating. Sitting in the lobby waiting for his father like usual, he is approached by Patton. Alone this time, without Virgil. Which is strange. 

“You look like you’re about to rip someone's head off,” Patton giggles out with a sympathetic smile. 

Logan sighs and gives him a little smirk, “My apologies, are you going to be getting a ride with Virgil tonight?”

“No, his dad is picking him up! I was actually wondering if you wanted to hang out!”

“I-” Logan thinks on this for a while, then shrugs. It may be for the best. Patton has been very kind, and he has defended him when Roman was being a jerk.

“Sure, let me message my father.”

Patton’s car is a beat-up looking second-hand thing that looks like it rolled out of a dump. Inside, it’s actually very well taken care of. Patton calls the car “Christine” and pats her lovingly. Hanging from the rear-view mirror is a small frog-shaped air freshener that makes the car smell of strawberries. The seats are comfortable, and Patton’s music is sweet. Eventually they pull into a parking lot in a townhouse area, and as they walk down the street Patton waves and says hello to all his neighbours that are outside. 

“You know them all?” 

“Oh, yeah! Lots of them have babysat me, or my sisters! And I’ve babysat for them too!”

Huh. He didn’t know Patton had sisters. Though, the second they enter his house, it’s entirely obvious. 

In the living room, there are three young girls. Patton’s shoes are barely off when the two youngest ones rush him and engulf him in hugs. The older one walks over and smiles at Logan first.

“Hi, which one are you?” She asks, and Patton laughs.

“Delilah Ann! That’s not nice!”

“I’m Logan, it’s nice to meet you.”

“I’m Lilah, I’ve heard a lot about you. Mostly ‘cause Pat doesn’t shut up.”

Patton looks a little pouty, but Logan thinks he likes Lilah. She doesn’t look much like Patton at all. Her hair is more wavy than curly, and a very nice strawberry blonde colour. She doesn’t have glasses, and dresses very tomboyish, the only thing that ties them together are their freckled cheeks. She’s only thirteen, but Logan finds her interesting to talk to. While Patton is dealing with the younger ones, she tells him about how she wants to be a mortician and is the smartest in her family. Logan smiles a little while they have a mostly one-sided conversation. 

One thing the siblings have in common is certainly their talkative likability. 

The younger two are put to work on their homework at the dining table, and Patton begins to set up dinner. Logan sits next to the girls at the table, Delilah retreating to her room, chatting with Patton as he cooks. He offered to help but was denied at every turn. Something about him being a guest, and how he shouldn’t have to. They’re discussing their roles in the play when the youngest slams her head against the table dramatically.

“Patton! I don’t wanna do this anymore!” She whines, Patton puts some potatoes in a pot then brushes off his hands on his apron. 

“Do you need help, or do you need a break?” 

“Help!”

Logan peers over her paper and sees a bunch of simple multiplication questions, she must only be in second or third grade. 

He clears his throat, “If you’d like, I could help you.”

“Oh! Oh! Yes! Patton can Logan help me please!” 

Patton agrees, despite obviously looking at Logan and saying ‘You really don’t have to’ with his eyes. Logan likes to teach, he’s more than happy to help out. Especially since Elaine is extremely charming. You can definitely see how much she looks like Patton. Big square glasses, blonde hair in pigtails, tons of freckles dotting chubby cheeks. She acts like him too, spouting out awful dad jokes that make Patton lose it laughing in the kitchen. She tries her best to listen, and manages to actually complete her math homework with a pretty good mark. Her teacher will hopefully be impressed. Logan’s dad texts and asks if he needs to be picked up, but Elaine begs him to stay for dinner and...well he can’t say no, can he? Patton says he doesn’t have to stay, but he wants to. 

He’d never had siblings, it had always just been him and his parents. Though he loved them, and they loved him, it was so...lonely sometimes. He had always wanted a little brother or sister, maybe even a pet, but it never really happened. The energy in Patton’s house was somehow a perfect mix of lively and calm, they felt like they were really a family. Logan relished in it. The feeling of community, full of love so openly given and received. The most he had were very quiet holiday dinners with the few Larks who were left. He remembers being Elaine’s age, he felt so lonely. She wasn’t lonely though, she was full of love. So was Patton. It was very nice. He watches Patton cook and he chats with him while realizing he’s been much too harsh on him. His kindness wasn’t fake, there was no way. He was a real person who was actually that nice. He defended him out of the kindness of his heart. 

Ding.

hey logan wyd rn

Ah, Virgil. That was a pleasant surprise. 

I’m actually at Patton’s house. Elaine has roped me into staying for dinner.

He can almost hear Virgil’s little chuckle. 

yeah she does that hows sophie

Sophie? Oh, that must be the third sister. She’s very quiet, her eyes haven’t once looked upwards the whole time they’ve been sat together. 

“Ahem-Uhm-Sophie,” Logan starts, and Sophie looks up from her homework, “Virgil was wondering how you are?”

Her eyes light up, “I’m good. Is he going to come over?”

She’s good. She wants to know if you will be coming over.

hah, sure tell her to give me 20 

“Yes, give him twenty minutes.”

Sophie smiles, and Logan is reminded of Virgil almost immediately. She has dark brown hair that covers her face and a bit of a natural glare. Her smile is shy, and he wonders if Patton secretly stole Virgil’s little sister. 

It seems like it, even more, when Virgil actually gets there. Sophie’s entire demeanor changes. She becomes extremely talkative and tells Virgil all about how she’s got a new villager in her animal crossing town. Virgil entertains her with talking, going and helping Patton to cook. Logan gets up to help as well, but Virgil waves him away. Virgil looks like he belongs here, in this little dining room-kitchen. He’s laughing beside Patton, talking to both girls and Logan, helping cook and set the table. Logan can’t help but wonder how many times he’s done this before. While Patton is putting the food on the table, the door opens and a tired-looking woman enters. Virgil goes to greet her, and she smiles. Her hair is curly and blonde, her eyes are a cloudy green, she is covered in a smattering of freckles, and she looks...just like Patton. 

Logan gets up to go greet her as well. When she sees him she beams and it’s like he’s been confronted by the sun herself. 

“You must be Logan! Virgil and Patton talk my ears off about you!” She pats his head, and continues, “The boys just adore you! It’s about time you came for dinner!”

He almost can’t speak, and both Virgil and Patton whine about her embarrassing them, but he nods, “Thank you for having me, but I’ve only known them for two weeks, Ma’am.”

The woman looks a little confused, then laughs joyously, “No need for that, kiddo! Just call me Lisa, okay?” 

After patting him on the shoulder, she slinks by and greets all her children. Lilah has come back down, and the whole table is now filled to the brim. Dinner is filling and delicious, Patton really has a talent for the culinary arts. Which is strange considering Logan took him as someone who, like him, couldn’t cook to save his life.

After dinner, Patton brings Logan and Virgil to his room to hang out. They play video games, talk about anything they can manage, and by the time it’s late Logan is smiling. At nine, Elaine and Sophie are whining about Patton putting them to bed. Virgil and Logan wish them good night and Virgil drives Logan home. 

“Logan, I’ve gotta ask...why did you agree to hang out with Patton?”

“Well...I’m not actually sure. I think that I needed it.”

“How do you mean?”

Logan looks out the window and thinks to himself. Why? He’s never had friends, or much of a close family. He figured he agreed because well…

“Patton has something I don’t. It helped me understand him better to see what he has.”

Virgil accepted that, but Logan wasn’t sure he understood it fully. He’s not even sure he does. 

That night, Roman gets a negative two. Patton gets a ten, and written on his pages are the names and personalities of his family members. Along with that, is a very simple phrase. 

I have concluded that Patton is, indeed, a very good person.

Why it took him this long to come to terms with, he will never understand. 

[cheseyre]

good news, sluts! my brain's no longer being completely stupid (only mostly), i've seen the new asides and...have some thought-y thot thoughts:

*deep inhale*

Okay, first things first: this art style is soooo fucking cUTE and I'm a jealous, squealing bitch. Anyone who knows who the artist is, could you link me to them, stat? I think Thomas mentioned them at the beginning of the ep, but nYeh, brain hurt, doesn't wanna do wooork-

Okay, I'll admit, I was a little...apprehensive when I first saw the thumbnail and title. Part of it's just me being a bitter Remus Stan, but also...okay, deep breaths, controversial opinion time, get ready:

I don't ship Prinxiety.

Like, at all. 

I can see the appeal, and these dorks were so very, VERY cute in this particular ep, but I was honestly turned off by the ship long ago due to how overwhelmingly popular it is and how some fans characterize these two and treat this relationship as if it's the only valid one, y'know, the works—slight tangent, but that's also why I don't ship Logicality or Remile. I honestly vibe much better with ships like Roceit or Analogical, y'know?

Cutting in for another brief tangent: I'm surprisingly okay with Demus/Dukeceit/Receit/Trashnoodle/Whatever-Their-Ship-Name-Is-Oh-God-Why-Do-They-Have-So-Many-Fucking-Names; maybe it's cause they haven't actually interacted in canon and the fan content gives me such good Gay Disney Villain content, idk man im weird—).

Still, their interactions were both hilarious and sweet and like I said, I see the appeal, it's just not my cup of tea. y'all Prinxiety fans got fucking FED and I'm happy for you nerds. Enjoy ze happy boys!

I guess another factor in my...low-key hesitance when I first saw what the ep was about is that...okay, get ready, another controversial opinion, le gasp: well, I'm not a big Virgil fan. In fact, at times, he swaps places with Patton as my least favorite sides—especially with some of his recent behavior in eps like DWIT (the "prohibit your breathing comment" really triggered me, for example). Sometimes, his attitude, especially around other sides like Roman or Janus, reminds me a little too much of my sister, who I don't have...a very good relationship with. Add to that how the more...intense side of the fandom has a disturbing tendency to turn him into the 'uwu precious woobie emo baby who can do no wrong' while unnecessarily villainizing other CERTAIN sides in the process, and...I think you all see where I'm going with this little rant 😅

However, upon actually watching the ep, he wasn't...that bad? I don't think? I enjoyed watching him be a flustered, disaster-y mess and genuinely excited at the end, his interactions with Roman were nice enough, and him literally pushing Thomas to make a move with Nico despite his obvious panic attack was a nice moment of genuine character development. I like seeing that, that's the good shit right there. And him being all flustered and shit, and smiling so much at the end of the vid was just...well, adorable. This man has no fucking right to be this cute, my god

alsoooo 

pURPLE EYESHADOW

PURPLE EYESHADOW HE LOOKS?? SO GOOD?? WTF?? SLAY EMO, SLAAAAAAAY FUCK, DOES THIS MEAN I HAVE TO CHANGE MY HALLOWEEN COSTUME NOW?

alsoooo 

hAPPY ROMAN

YESSSSS~ MAH BOI MAH SON MAH DUMB BITCH HIMBO PRINCE MAH EXTRA MESSY CINNAMON ROLL

ITS  BEEN SO  LONG

AND HIS LITTLE HEART EYES THROUGHOUT THE VID, OH MY GOD-

IMMA JUST IGNORE THAT "ADDING [MISTAKE] TO THE LIST" COMMENT I AM LOOKING AWAY I DO NOT SEE IT LALALALALA

THOMATHY, SIR, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT MAKING THESE TWO GAY IDIOTS SO BAEBY

Okay, but Virgil not realizing that "cyberstalking in real life" is literally just stalking is both a big ass mood and further proof that, yes, Logan is indeed the only one holding the braincell out of this disaster of a lot. God help them all if he ducks out in the next ep.

👀

And Thomas x Trash Can is my new OTP.  I dub thee ✨ "Trashmas" ✨

Wait, does that mean Remus actually WAS in the ep? Cause, y'know, trash man?

hmmm

👀 👀 

Okay, okay. 

With how much Virgil and Roman were going off about Thomas constantly lying, I was (understandably) a tad bit disappointed my snek son didn't even make a fucking cameo, but y'know what? In hindsight, I'm okay with this it's fineee~

He was just off playing with shadow puppets and stealing money from us desperate, content-starved peasants with his sheer extra-ness and, honestly? Gotta respect the hustle. 

Get that precious, precious coin, dapper snake! Wring us poor losers dryyyy!

*evil snek laugh*

Also, this is a breather ep and adding Janus in probably would've caused unnecessary drama with the Roceit breakup and the constant antagonism between Virgil and him. It probably would've distracted from the point of the ep (flirting with social anxiety, exactly what it says in the tin)—much like it wasn't really Virgil or Remus's place to show up during POF. Does that make sense? I think it makes sense. Sorry, brain going brr-

Still, I can't believe the "Fuck Janus Sanders" Club is actually canon now 😂

God, first Patton in a skirt and now this. 

Thomas Sanders, you delight in fucking feEDING this gremlin nest of a fanbase, don’t you? You RELISH our screams of joy and pain and suffering, dON’T YOU?

What's next, actual canonical Janus and Remus interaction? Patton saying the fuck word? The Dragon Witch comes back? Janus's bowler hat gains sentience and takes over the world, Doris-style? What do you have planned, Thomas? Joan? WHAT ART THOU PLANNING, I MUST KNOW YOU HEATHENS YOU FIENDS-

And Virgil's little "would it be fair to him" comment, tho.

👀

Like, I get in the context of the ep, he was likely talking about Nico and how it wouldn’t be good for a potential relationship with Tomas to be founded on lies, but still...my anxceit heart aches, man. 

Gimme that sweet, sweet angst with a side of mutual regret and possible future reconciliation and maybe something more wink wink nudge nudge on top, pls

...and fries.

Honestly, tho, that entire bathroom monologue was fucking beautiful, man. And relatable, too—i can't tell you how many times I've talked to myself in public restrooms because I just didn't know how to get the words I wanted to say out. It's...kind of embarrassing, tbh

Speaking of embarrassing, uh, crying stall guy.

Just...

Crying Stall Guy

Like, I was expecting someone to come out the bathroom stall after Thomas stopped talking, but...I honestly wasn't expecting that. God, that whole scene was so cringe worthy and fucking hilarious

Honestly, Thomas in the ep in general was a huge ass mOOD and we collective gay/bi disasters ALL related with him, and if you say you don't, you're either lying to yourself or a demon. 

There is no in between 

sorry I don't make the rules

Like, I get this series is literally a gay disaster talking to himself for thirty minutes or longer, but like- EMPHASIS on the 'disaster' part 😂

Like...Thomas, you're lucky you're such a goddamn bean, because GOD, I cringing so hard when he first started talking to Nico

Although, I too have apologized profusely for genuine mistakes and am a flustered bi mess around my crush sooo

😅

And god, Roman's "thirty = old man" jokes made me feel old...and I literally just turned twenty, like, come on, man!

Maybe that's because I was literally watching this ep after finishing my ACT and had been sitting with a bunch of high schoolers, with their tiny fucking desks and tiny fucking water fountains smeh

*clears throat*

Anyways, uh, we STAN Nico Pintrovert Florés in this house

Like

He gives me such big Carlos from WTNV vibes for some reason and this makes me sooo happy

and YESS, he's a WRITER

And he's??? So sweet?? A pure bean?? Just sits on his laptop at the mall food court all day, like a god-fucking iCON?? A Nightmare Before Christmas fan?? weARS GLASSES??

my hEART

*cries*

The fandom seems torn between "Nicomas" and "Karrot Kings" as a ship name atm—personally speaking, I'm casting my vote for the latter

*crosses fingers* please dont be another janus x remus multiple ship name issue guys, please please please I can't keep track of them all-

*clears throat*

On that note, I'm guess I'm gonna go try and whoo over my crush with carrots now. If THIS disaster can do it and make it actually fucking work, god damnit, so cAN I

Meanwhile, in hell, my brain's just screaming "CANON LOVE INTEREST CANON LOVE INTEREST CANON LOVE INTEREST-"

God, I hope Nico isn't just a one-shot character, he's too pure and Thomas and him are adorable gay Disney fans and I stan

Oh, I wonder how the other sides'll react to him.

Wait.

Oh god.

Oh god.

This ep just unleashed a new fresh hell of potential Nico x Sides ships, hasn't it?

Welp, time to prepare for ze incoming flood of fanfics, I guess. I'll get my umbrella and rain boots.

That last shot of Virgil during the endcard was so fucking ominous oh my god mom im scared can you come pick me up-

Goddammit, Thomas and Joan, I'm NOT fucking ready to be traumatized again, fUCK

I wish I wasn't a broke ass university student so I could contribute to Thomas's gloriously extra Patreon—both so I can support my favorite content creators who make this amazing blessed content and also, to join my boi Janus in fucking  destroying society by giving money to the people who actually deserve it, fuck YOU GOVERNMENT-

Okay. 

Okay. 

New headcanon time as to why Patton, Remus, and Logan weren't in the ep: they were helping Jan film that Patreon promotional video. 

Like

Remus directed it, Logan helped with the lighting and script, and Patton was just there as the cheerleader. 

The reason Janus made a dog with shadow puppets wasn't just to flaunt his deity status and prove how he is truly above us mere wretched mortals 

despite that being the absolute truth and we all know it, don't lie to yourselves

No, it was really him trying to do something cute and silly for Patton, because Moceit rights, daMMIT

*inhales*

noww 

guys, gals, and nonbinary pals

it’s time forr

the most wonderful time of the yearrr

WAITING FOR THE NEXT EPISODE

Step right up, folks! Hear ye, hear ye, my prediction for the next episode: Prinxiety v. Moceit! With special guest stars: Karrot Kings vibing in adorable gay and Intrulogical, bitter at being excluded aGAIN

Who will win? Who will lose? 

here’s a hint: we all will because in this sick twisted game they are no winners only losers-

Place your bets, folks! ✨

Haha im not readyyy~

tl;dr

this episode has cleared my skin, watered my crops, and ended my suffering—an adorable calm before the... angsty fucking shitstorm that’s coming far too soon. Prinxiety stans, enjoy your food. Place an 'F' in the chat for me and my fellow grieving Remus stans. Trashmas is the true OTP, but Karrot Kings is cute too I guess. I've only had Nico Florés for 24 minutes, but if anything happens to him, I'll kill everyone in this room and then myself. Purple eyeshadow Virgil makes me question my sexuality aGAIN, and happy gay disney prince rights y'all. Say a big ole 'fuck you' to capitalism by giving your local dapper snake moneys. Concussion makes brain go brr and imma go buy some carrots and be gay now.

psst hey @quarantinevibes2020​ you wanna join me in being disaster-y? i’ll bring my best gay stare and you bring the wine

Until next time, my lovelies! ~ Ches 🖤

⚠️⚠️SPOILERS AHEAD!!⚠️⚠️

Ok, first up, Thomas and his crew are SO talented and I will never be over how hard they all work to bring us incredible content. Now onto the video!!

• Ok so I am SO glad that Patton and Deceit are talking out their differences and Thomas is giving Deceit a seat at the figurative table but I can’t help but fear for how Virgil is going to react to all this. Especially after how we left things off with him in the last video- this can NOT be good for him

• It wouldn’t be a post by me if I didn’t yell about Roman Sanders for ages so here I go:

He blames this on himself and you can sort of see throughout the entire video how much he thinks Thomas’s happiness is his responsibility. Whilst he did get listened to this episode, he also was very clearly feeling like his contributions weren’t helping and he really needs a hug. Let me hug him, please.

•Also, at the end?? First of all, I understand why Deceit (Janus? Janis? How is it spelt?? I’m presuming the first one, more on Deceit in a second) made that comment about Remus to Roman but you can SEE how much it hurts, especially because of the funhouse mirror analogy Roman made last episode, but I also get why Roman laughed at Deceit’s name. He’s done that for pretty much everyone’s name- it’s just who Roman is and if anything, it was the most familial he acted towards Deceit all episode. It just really killed me to see Roman that upset

• Right, I’m not done with Roman entirely but Deceit. Janus. I nearly screamed at the name reveal (lowkey salty it wasn’t Gilbert THANKS TIK TOK) and the whole taking his glove off symbolism but this episode really emphasised that the sides aren’t good vs bad sides and that ALL of them just want what’s best for Thomas. From Roman’s insistance that Deceit was still evil, though, despite Deceit backing Roman up and Roman not even necessarily being on Patton’s side (despite the battle where he was literally on Patton’s- I’m just gonna shut up) makes me think there is a history there even more than before. I need answers, Thomathy!!!

•Last little thing- Logan my sweet nerd how I love you you’re just the best!! Janus was so dorky at the end it was adorable I mayhaps love him (not in a straight way though ewww I’m not het haha)

I would comment on Patton but I’ve had complicated feelings about Patton for a while and my brain HURTS bc it’s so late here in the UK and I’m lacking sleep anyway.

TLDR: I’m still a Roman stan, I love Janus and I’m very nervous and excited for more content

[gayerplease]

Sublimation

In case anyone's wondering, in psychology, sublimation is a defense mechanism that involves transforming unacceptable impulses into more socially acceptable action or behaviour. It was one of the defense mechanisms mentioned previously. So no, those are not random words I added for no reason. I'm in love with a psychology geek, so I pick up a few things once in a while :)

Funny how I can give define and give examples for all of them but I don't know shit about the book tested in the literature examination tomorrow.

Masterpost

---

"Roman!" I shriek. "For the love of [redacted]! Stop fucking singing!!"

Roman glares, and sings louder, Patton fighting for his disapproval of my language to be heard over the cacophony of noise.

The day honestly didn't start out that badly. There was a huge breakfast laid out for us, firstly. It was incredibly awkward to sit there and eat it, but the food was good and we managed to convince Remus not to start a food fight, so not bad, overall. And then… Well actually that's about the only thing that's gone right this morning, unless you're willing to count Logan, Apathy, Depression and Anxiety disappearing off somewhere so there are technically less of us arguing to be a win. Yeah. Even I can't imagine the arguments that would break out if they were here too. Between Roman's singing, Patton's fussing over my language (Listen, sophisticated my ass, you make puns, you can't talk. Fuck happens to be exactly the word I'm looking for and I'm fucking using it!), Remus's comments, Deceit's comments (Yes keep talking you're certainly not distracting me) I swear--

"Hey since like Anxiety's not here can we go back to our rooms?" I speak up.

"Fine!" Deceit gives in, head buried in his bowler hat. "But you come back here the instant I summon you!"

"Sure thing Jekyll and Lied!" Roman grins, skipping off. "Bye nerds! No! Remus don't follow me--"

"I'm going to go eat a cookie." Patton declares, earning a raised eyebrow from Deceit.

I just sink out, ignoring the look on Deceit's face. Stupid Light Sides. Stupid Deceit. Stupid Remus. Stupid Anxiety or Protectiveness or whatever the hell that monster is.

I scream in frustration, slamming my fist into the nearest punching bag. Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid--

I pick up the nearest thing, a spherical lead weight, and throw it at a target. It shears through the padding, landing with a heavy crash. Ignoring the sudden pain in my shoulder, I rip a dagger off the wall and hurl it too. I stomp about the room, kicking away anything in my path, tossing thing after thing at the dartboards, and then at my punching bags when I've successfully destroyed all of the targets with everything from knives to axes to actual darts.

The cacophony of crashing and my own yelling helps. A little. Not enough! I strike at the punching bag again. I don't miss the tough leather.

… I also don't miss the brick wall. I draw back, snarling obscenities as I cradle my injured hand. Is it fractured or just badly bruised? Did I sprain my wrist? I growl. Hell if I know. It's definitely a lot bloodier than one punch ago though. I groan, sinking out. Anx will be giving me shit all week if I don't get it wrapped up right away. Higher risk for infection or whatever. He's always grouching about how none of us take care of ourselves. Fucking hypocrite. Well, no matter, he'll have it bandaged up in a matter minutes, like always. Then I can go back to punching stuff (with my non injured hand, since I'm not a fucking idiot).

I freeze as I take in the scene before me. Anxiety wrapped around Thomas, Logan, Apathy and Depression as they chat semi-causally, some random show playing in the background, atmosphere only slightly tense. Oh. Right. That's not Anx, even though the way he looks up when I enter is still exactly the same. That's not the Anx I know, even though the way he shoots forward is exactly the same.

"Hurt!" He shrieks, and I barely stop myself from putting my hands over my ears.

There. That's not the same. He doesn't take a hasty step back and respect my boundaries when I shout at him not to touch me. He doesn't tell me to sit down. He doesn't give me a fidget cube to play with until I'm calm enough to hesitantly offer up my injured appendage. He doesn't quietly nod and take my hand and wrap it up. He doesn't ask what's bothering me. He doesn't nod understandingly when I say no. He doesn't listen patiently as I begin to rant not thirty seconds later. He just grabs my hand and does his stupid stupid stupid stupid healing thing.

There are no bandages. Then there is no injury. I growl at him, jerking my hand away as soon as he's done. There's no recovery period. There's no yelling for me to take it easy. There's no follow-ups. He doesn't demand to check it every two hours to ensure it hasn't gotten infected. It's just healed and that's it. Stupid Anxiety and his stupid healing.

I suddenly remember exactly who my audience is. Thomas and Logan are staring, Depression and Apathy, at least, are pretending nothing's happening for the sake of my pride. I'm still panting slightly, my hair and clothes messy and drenched thoroughly with sweat, my arms shaking from the exertion, tension and residual waves of anger.

"What?!?" I snap, irritated, fighting to shove Anxiety off as he tries to massage my aching muscles. He's too strong, obviously, and I end up seated on the couch, the glass of water that was forced down my throat already refilled, the pain in my shoulders gone far too fast for it to be natural.

"... Nothing." Thomas answers after a moment. "Er… are you alright?" He asks. "Do you… Do you want to talk about it?"

I growl at him, finding his tone and questions to be far far far too much like Anx's for my liking.

"What do you care?! Fuck off!"

Thomas swallows.

"... That wasn't very nice."

"Did you think I'd be nice Sanders? I'm wrath dumbass!!"

"I…" Thomas visibly fumbles for an answer. "We do care." He finally says, "I care."

"You didn't know I existed before yesterday afternoon!!" I snarl. "You don't know me!"

"I'd like to get to know you." He mumbles.

I flip him off. His face drops, but then he manages a tight smile.

"Stay a while. Watch some TV with us. We don't have to talk, just… Stay?"

"Like I have a choice." I grouch, squirming against Anxiety's grip before giving up and settling down.

Stupid Anxiety. Stupid Thomas. Stupid Light Sides. Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid.

Stupid feelings.

Funny story, I was actually having writers block up until the thing that happened to Wrath actually happened to me. Well not all of it obviously. I was just practicing Taekwondo and uh. Swung a little too hard and didn't miss the cupboard door. Whoopsies. Nothing too bad, just a bruise, but then I realised that that'd totally be something that'd happen to Wrath!

Poor guy, he really misses Virgil, even if he won't admit it. How many characters are in denial? Definitely not practically all of them on one level or another.

[thatonea1ien]

OMG OMG OMG!! I FINISHED THE VIDEO!!! Here's my thoughts/a mini run down on what happened from my point of view:

Okay, let's do a list before I go crazy:

ROMAN! MY BABY BOY! I feel so bad for him but at the same time- LAUGHING WHEN DECEIT GAVE HIS NAME!? He did the exact same thing with Virgil and that is NOT OKAY!

My Rociet heart is crying.

LOGAN WHYYYY: "Not that any of you care, but I am unharmed, and I don't want to talk about it. I'm just here to deliver one last fact, then I will do you all a favor and spare you my company." THEN WHEN PATTON TRIED TALKING HE INTERRUPTED HIM! YASS, LOGAN STAND UP FOR YOURSELF!

In all seriousness though, what if Deceit "took over" as being Logan when Patton skipped his dialogue? Logan knew about taking the "text form" instead of just popping up next to Deceit like last time Deceit- Sorry, Janus tried to pass as him. Logan also did get taken out of that box only for him to pop right back up afterwards.

I feel like the switch of Logan and Janus was either there or when Roman cut his box in half and he fell off screen.

ALSO DID NO ONE ELSE CATCH THAT CHOKING SOUND LOGAN MADE WHEN THAT CANE TOOK HIM AWAY WHEN PATTON SKIPPED HIM!?!? Based on what we saw with Patton getting hit in the nose (him saying it didn't hurt and then constantly reaching up to his nose makes very unlikely that it didn't actually hurt) that probably means the sides can feel pain... Let that set in real fast.

WHERE IS VIRGIL!? AND SHOULDN'T REMUS HAVE POPPED UP WHEN LOGAN/MAYBE JANUS SAID "INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS" AND "REMUS"!?!?!?!?

My Intruxiety (VirgilxRemus) heart is LIVING at the thought of them hanging out together (even though what I stated above is the only thing supporting this)

(TRIGGER WARNING: Patton stans/those who are uncomfortable with thoughts of Patton being slightly unsympathetic PLEASE skip this point AND the one right after this one): Patton was totally gaslighting Thomas into thinking his judgement was wrong and always will be wrong unless he does NOTHING for himself and ONLY does stuff for others.

I'm gonna say one more thing about Patton right before I move on to my good boi, Janus... PATTON TOTALLY THOUGHT THOMAS SHOULD KILL HIMSELF TO SAVE OTHERS!! THAT IS NOT HEALTHY!!!

Janus. It's definitely no "Damian," "Ethan," etc. ... But I like it, it suits him, especially with the reference all you lovely people are making to the greek God.

I really hope Thomas comes out with how you spell it because I've already seen so many different ways people spell it...

SIDE NOTE: During the first "train" scenario Deceit's logo has "Denial" as the title and Roman's was "Passion" all the other roles were the same as their actual roles.

Janus is such a dork, especially the faces he made while alone with Thomas (I'm forever going to remember the "You're just stuck will a snake boy" face because AHHH)

Also that "Nya" noise he made when Thomas refused sabotaging people was adorable.

How Janus was acting while alone with Thomas just goes to show that he only keeps up the "swave villian" act in front of the other sides because he's just a nerd

I have more stuff but with me being a forgetful bean I can't remember it and I'm currently rewatching the entire series, sooo... That'll come up in later posts I make.

All in all this video was amazing and THAT SONG at the beginning! I was not ready for that! SO GOOOOOOD!

[lunatatic]

New Video Thoughts

There is a lot to cover here..... and this is long as heck because I am emotional

Patton 

he’s trying his best..... he’s trying so hard

He was trying really hard to have all the answers and omgggg the Visual of him becoming a monster.... breath taking

The question as old as time; was he becoming a monster or did he just think he was a monster???? 

Hm? 

Hmmmmmmmm?

I was taken aback by so many things but him just giving into Deceit (Janus?) and be willing to take a step back

that’s growth baby that’s growth

I will give Patton credit where others didn’t, he was genuinely asking for other peoples opinions and trying to be less over bearing

Was it perfect? No, but it was an effort and all of this is so new and he is taking really hard first steps and I’m so proud of him

Logan

Logan has my entire heart and y’all can take THAT to the bank

I have concerns about Logan are sweet nerd

He. Won’t. Duck. Out. but I think we are cutting it close....

when we saw that he was still going to be apart of this episode I think it really showed that, despite his treatment in this video, he knows his worth

I’m just scared to see how far away he’s going to back off before Thomas and the sides start seriously questioning it

I was SHOCKED when he was introduced in this episode

And skipping him????? Ignoring him?????? Virgil would never

Goodness he was trying so hard to be helpful and he was done dirty 

And when he came back after Deceit (Janus?????) all but silenced him I wanted to just give the poor boy a hug

I can’t wait to see where this arc is going for him

Roman 

Oh my lord Roman keep me guessing this entire episode 

Roman was also willing to take a step back in this episode, to give up control

THE GROWTH!!!!

that being said, I think patton told him exactly what he needed to hear there

HE. IS. IMPORTANT. 

He is soooo important

I could here the roman stans across the world cheering him on when Deceit (JANUS?????) first showed up

he was a whole as knight fighting for Patton’s honor and on his behalf in general

In the start and throughout I was so proud of him for how caring and considerate he was being about word choice and how he addressed certain negative topics

but where did all that go during the name reveal??

Don’t get me wrong I am a Roman stan through and through but I was just screaming during the name revel

Did we learn nothing with Virgil???? About name calling and making fun of names???

How did no one call him out on this? I was half expecting Virgil to pop in to get defensive about it tbh

Is it Remus that makes him so hesitant to accept “The Others” is that it? I thought after Virgil he would be leading the charge with Logan to accept Deceit (HOLY CRAP JANUS???????) to compensate for past mistakes

Did it feel like he was going through a bad break up during this video

just saying he did a swift 180 on his thoughts on Deceit (JANUSSSS)

He did not want his flattery but Deceit got real with him and genuine and that was not enough to change his mind even a little

What happened????

If I though anyone would be the next to duck out, it would be Princey here

I can hear it now

“You love the dark sides so much now, let Remus do it”

“It’s not like Virgil where he was irreplaceable, I am”

“What do you care about me? I’m the villain now!”

“Not even Patton likes me anymore, DAD hates me so why wouldn’t you??”

owwww

Janus!

Slimy boi stans come get y’all JUICEEEE

Idk why but I wasn’t expecting him to be so prominent in this video

but I’m sure as heck happy he was

And on top of all that I was not expecting a NAME REVEL are you kidding me???

I was really expecting all the classic guess 

Ethan

Declan

Dee

But nope, Janus

I LOVE IT

Its symbolic and sooo fitting and different and helps him be so far beyond just lies and manipulation

And the HURT in his face at Romans reaction... 

killed me, killed us, killed everyone

lets be real who was expecting this to be the episode for HIS charcter arc??? Not me that’s for sure

And he is still unsure, you can see it at the end card, he is waiting for rejection for not being 100% right

But Patton grew today as well, he is slowly putting less stock in having all the right answers

Speaking of growth, can we all appreciate how much more effective this was then the courtroom??? He worked with Patton and Roman here, even in small ways

I’m so curious to see where his spot in the living room is going to be

Virgil

Now he wasn’t in this episode and that broke my heart a little ngl

But this absence makes me wonder what he was doing in the background

Helping Logan? Trying to stop Janus? Going ape shit? All of the above??? Whose to say..

I also think that him not being present will make his presence in the next episode interesting and essential

just think, Janus has a seat at the table now, that is a lot of direct interaction for Virgil

Also whats going to happen first, Virgil’s and Janus’ backstory being worked through or Romans arc and relationship with Janus, or Logan's whole ass arc as well?

I’m just going to throw this out now, what if Virgil and Roman kinda do a team up that is overwhelmingly anti acceptance for Janus and maybe (probably) even Remus

I missed Virgil this time around and can’t wait to see where it all goes next with him

I love this sooo much and I can’t see what other takes are. please, please, PLEASE tell me what you think!
