#sanders sides is... not good about reblogs honestly

[dragonjadearts]

As someone who posts art for various different fandoms, it's always fascinating to me to see what the trends are with how fandoms interact with art on this site.

[locke-n-k3y]

As we've gotten the last episode of dungeons and daddies of the year I wanted to take a bit of time to just kind of reflect on my experience with the series and what it's meant to me since I found, this will be an obnoxious long post and will be alot about my past relationship which was in short terms, not good, so please feel free to skip this post, it's more catharsis for me than anything

Up until July this year I'd been in a relationship for seven years, from the ages of 11-18 which is what I am now, over the course of those seven years I had my resolve drained out of me until I had no friends, no social media besides instagram and was steadily pulling away from my family to the point they were like strangers to me. I binded every day and endured constant transphobia and bodyshaming because I sincerely believed we were like soulmates (both trans and both outcasted) and it was meant to be.

This is all of course bad, but one of the most sinister things he did that I wouldn't have expected was he completely disabled ny ability to enjoy things. Prior to our relationship I was a phannie, I shipped Klance, I watched sanders sides religiously, I was a blossoming furry and brony and I liked these things loudly and proudly. And he made fun of and belittled these interests until I stopped participating in each and every one of them, until all my interests were either ones shared with him or ones he deemed acceptable.

And it didn't hit me how hard that followed me out of the relationship until I had to sit down and think about what I was into, and I came up totally blank, everything I liked was either tainted by memories of him or I had stopped engaging with so many years ago I wouldn't even know where to pick it up again.

And then like Mercy descending from the clouds I decided to go back through my podcasts and pick one, just one, and I happened to land on dndads. I'd previously listened to episode one with him but it had been a resounding no on his end so I put it down and never looked back. Until now. I hit play on that first episode and the next two weeks were a complete blur as I binged every ounce of content, after I caught up on the first two seasons at breakneck pace I used my meager funds to sub to the patreon and listened through everything there as well.

It was the first time in seven freaking years I'd been this excited about anything, I was going on walks as an excuse to listen to more, I was obsessively looking for fans on tiktok and posting in the discord. I was stimming more than I had in my whole life and talking again, in a lot of ways it felt like looking at myself again, I cut my hair and dyed it blonde (totally not because of Henry) I started buying clothes that I actually liked because I felt more confident in myself.

And then after unsuccessfully hunting for a community I said fuck it and redownloaded tumblr, somehow remembered the login to this account and I posted some fanart of Scary Marlowe, honestly not expecting anything to come of it, and then it got some reblogs, people liked it and I kept posting and I made moots and I talked to people and just-

I cannot thank the daddies themselves enough for bringing me into this and I cannot thank literally every single person who has ever liked or reblogged one of my posts, especially my moots, enough. You guys seriously made what was shaping up to be the worst year of my life the best year ever, and I'm not like better, it's only been 5 months and I'm very much still shaking off his effects but things are okay, O-A-K if you will, and I'm more confident that like I will be okay if that makes sense? So just like yeah, thank you, seriously, I love this fandom and everyone in it so much and this whole not-a-bdsm-podcast thing really helped me in a very very dark time <3

[isa-ghost]

honestly I think you are so awesome and deserve all good things in life and I appreciate your role in the community sm, like I think I'd stick around even if you posted about things I know nothing about because just seeing you on the dash makes me go "omg its isa!" (even when its discourse lmao)

What The Fuck this is so sweet!! ;^; 💚💚

Worry not, I'm not leaving QSMP yet. Even if it hurts. If Phil's done, I'll likely migrate to Fit for it. Provided he streams when Phil doesn't. 😅

And I'll be damned if this stops me from completing AMFMN. Apollo has hinted during a brief reading with him that he'll kick my ass. We NEED more Phil centric fics, it's half the reason I said fuck it we ball and started AMFMN to begin with. That goblin of a deity is INVESTED in the story. I think I'd get sunburn for eternity if I left it incomplete.

And I have a perhaps therapeutic idea to write Phil coming home to the Hardcore World via Rose after departing with the kids. I think I'm gonna go for it, even if it hurts to write and I cry during doing so. :p

I'm not sure what'll become of that QSMP AU I was cooking on but I don't think I'll discontinue that before it even begins either. Additionally, I've played with the idea of just. Continuing some kind of AU storyline post-AMFMN. Like writing stuff (headcanons or short story(s)) after the events of the fic. We'll see.

I've been miserable at worst and palpably sad at best the last 2 days, and we'll see what happens during and after Phil's stream today, but.. at least for now at this good hour of 10am, I'm feeling,, better-ish. Cautiously optimistic. I don't want to leave (and I especially don't want to lose the amazing mutuals and friends I've made 😭). I'm not going anywhere.

But if you're curious, here's some other interests you'll see here besides QSMP:

I'm a Phil main first and foremost. Even if he's done on QSMP, I watch every minute of EVERY stream. Hardcore my fucking beloved. I won't hesitate to start cooking up more hardcore Phil headcanons or a fic or AU.

After Phil, I watch Sneeg second most. I also watch Hermits/Lifers & friends, Ranboo (yes hello I love Genloss), Tubbo & a bunch of others. Like I said, Death Family's end on QSMP isn't my end in QSMP, nor MCYT. :)

I barely post abt it anymore bc it's more bitter than sweet for me, but DSMP will always hold a place in my heart. I'm always down to talk about it if asked.

D&D/Critical Role/Candela Obscura (I've been dual-wielding hyperfixations on Phil & CR this whole time, you'd be getting Phil & CR primarily if I fell out of QSMP for some reason)

Related, I plan on getting into Dimension 20 sometime and I also want to watch LA/NY By Night. TTRPG enjoyers that follow me will be getting FED.

I FUCKING LOVE DRAWFEE!!!

Anime!! Bungo Stray Dogs, JJK, Soul Eater, Apothecary Diaries, Frieren, and a bunch of others are my faves/current faves :)

I'm actually primarily an OC and roleplay person, it's my biggest special interest and I've been doing it for 12+ years. It's why I love mcrp so much. I'd probably post this stuff on @isas-oc-asylum and then reblog here if anyone was interested, idk. But I have an entire original world + country full of lore and characters I could talk about for eternity

I FUCKING LOVE HORROR PODCASTS. Magnus Archives & Protocol, Welcome to Night Vale, Old Gods of Appalachia!!

Veteran followers of me know I was originally a Jacksepticeye & Markiplier ego theorist blog before 2020! I have so many AUs of them and I love them still even though new content with them is slow. (I like Sanders Sides a decent amount too!)

I love talking about witchcraft!! I'm always down to infodump, answer questions, or gush about my goofy ass deity circle!! <3

Controversial (/s) but I love the Hazbin & Helluva series. I also love other indie series like Murder Drones, TADC and Lackadaisy!

I'm also slowly watching The Dragon Prince with friends!!

I've reblogged stuff plenty of times but I fucking love The Owl House & Gravity Falls

When will Arcane return from the war,,,, 😔 (soon)

I won't hesitate to plunge into the Monster Prom series deeper. Milo Belladonna and Damien LaVey my lomls I will get monsterfuckery on main I s2g

Basically... I'm a fuckin charcuterie board of interests!! Realistically, I'll still mainly be Phil/Sneeg/CR. But I'm always down to be abnormal about all that 👆🏻 and more.

If any of that interests anyone reading this, feel free to stick around. Or keep beating me with QSMP & Phil stuff in my asks. I'll still always be down to write headcanons and talk about fic stuff. I love qPhil too much to shut up forever.

And if it doesn't? Congrats, I'm also a massive shitposter. I have like 3 different tags for it. Feast your eyes upon how funny I am. It's like the one thing I'm confident in about myself, I'm fucking hilarious.

Honest Opinion Anon Asks

[teeth-kid]

teeth,,,what is chonny jash? having a curious and confused.

!!!! hi uhhh it's my brainworms rn

so it's basically he's this guy on youtube who covers tally hall songs except he takes it a step further and remakes the songs from scratch and adds/changes lyrics to fit a narrative

and what you probably see me reblogging stuff about is his characters Heart, Mind, and Soul who are meant to be singing these covers in his album, Chonny's Charming Chaos Compendium

the plot of it is like. hard for me to explain now that im trying to type it out but basically it's about a guy who's depressed and split his brain into like personifications of his emotions, his logic, and whatever Soul is. it's kinda like sanders sides but a lot more edgy and a lot less specific and done entirely through song covers

Heart is the purple one with the blindfold, he is sad and has attempted murder at least once

Mind is the blue one, he's mean and has a low voice filter in the songs

Soul is the red one, he's kind of in charge and really wants the other two to get along (or else he'll kill them both)

and these three guys fucking hate each other so much lemme tell you. they want each other dead and im not even exaggerating. but also sometimes they learn to work together and eventually un-split. they may or may not be in a perpetual loop of splitting apart and hating each other and making up and becoming whole only to split apart again (which i've heard is meant to be a metaphor for chronic mental illness)

if you wanna check him out i might recommend starting with his cover (actually three covers) of The Mind Electric, since its a pretty good introduction to the characters and their dynamic (though it's definitely all of them at their worst), or his Welcome To Tally Hall cover which is more of a fun little introduction to CJ as an artist (though that one might be confusing if you're not familiar with the original song). Or you could just listen to the album in chronological order starting with Time Machine Reprise.

warning for heavy suicidal themes though in case that wasnt apparent

i hope this was coherent enough skfhsk

(also if you do end up listening the album and you have questions about lore and such pls ask me i don't know everything and honestly there would probably be better people to ask but i would love to talk about the jash forever ok thank u)

AO3 WRAPPED!!! 3, 19, 28!!

oh, yeah, i forgot i reblogged that post LMAO

3) What works are you most proud of?

giving that to "I dare you to..." and "Touch me gently, touch me lovingly, touch me more". sure they're two of my more recent ones, but i think that just shows my improvement more than anything :}

19) What's one pairing you want to explore next year?

oh god, there's so many- i think most of all intruality (patton x remus), which is funny cuz i didn't use to ship them. but seeing stuff with them (plus that special sanders sides project i've got cooking up) i'd like to write some stuff with them

28) Favorite work you wrote this year?

i was honestly gonna say "I kissed a boy, and I liked it", but thinking about this one more i just- them, y'know? it's such a good toe dip into marvin learning about their needs and getting comfortable with intimacy, although i'll definitely be doing full dives later. trust me, there's so many thoughts i have with these two in terms of marvin learning about themself sexually

Hello! :)

It took me years made this blog despite lurking on Tumblr for a very, very long time. I don’t like posting on social media, and will never like anything because reblogging is the same thing to me. Honestly, this blog was mostly made as a way to get past the annoying login wall. (Name is a reference to a nickname I gave myself as an anon for a Sanders Sides ‘role swap’ ask blog. They have no clue how much of an impact that ask blog had on me, I’m sure.)

I like the game In Stars and Time by InsertDisk5 (my current hyperfixation), Hollow Knight by Team Cherry, Omori by Omocat, Undertale and Deltarune by Toby Fox, Sanders Sides by Thomas Sanders, H.I.V.E. by Mark Walden, Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan, Pokemon, and probably other things I’m forgetting to mention!

Be mindful for spoilers! I am very inconsistent with tagging things, but I tag anything I deem as spoiler worthy from In Stars and Time as ‘In Stars and Time Spoilers’, from act 2 spoilers to two hats and optional achievements. That’s the only thing I’m willing to consistently spoiler tag since I’m reblogging so much at the time.

Speaking of tagging. I try to tag by fandom (just straight up the name of the game/franchise), ‘Art’ if it’s some from of creative media, ‘Writing’ for either well worded posts or stories/poetry, and then whatever else is on my mind when reblogging.

More Specific Tags and what they mean:

Ramble: Whenever I spend too long writing in the tags I throw this one in as well. Because that’s as close as I’ll get to real posts probably.

Dragons/Animals: I’ve got a tag for animals, but a specific one for dragons as well since dragons are my favorite thing ever (minus time loops)

Shadow Fellas: Incredibly niche tag for two characters, both of which are technically late game spoilers for their respective games (Omori and In Stars and Time). I’ll try to remember this tag exists, so I can see my two favorite characters when I want to.

Mystic Journey: The name of a silly game I want to create. This will probably accompany a ramble tag, or be jotted under posts about fantasy games and dragons. Or maybe writing advice. Maybe. Maybe. In the future there will be original content under that tag here? Don’t count on it though. I’d only do that if someone was really curious AND I was in the mood to share lol

Best of the Best: “I place upon you the badge of honor”. Reserved for only the best posts on Tumblr. Posts I will be thinking about for days afterwards, or maybe I already have been for years.

Good post OP: When I kinda want to give them Best of the Best but chicken out, or if I just want to give a big ol thumbs up.

That’s all! Have fun scrolling! 🐶

[thebrightsun]

It's so good to see you back, Sun! I saw you reblogging some sanders sides art once again, and I wanted to ask if you still take requests/prompts to write about?

Oh! Uh, hi! It's been a long time! Hope you're having a good day/night, wherever you are! :)

Honestly, it's been so long that I don't remember taking requests or prompts to write back then lmaooo, but sure! I don't mind~ ^^ Send them my way.

[moonstone03]

I am Reblogging this again, why? Because I can and I want to answer the questions!

1. I have six at the moment, not including my internet persona/C!me and I will have seven after Orange's introduction.

2. They are the same traits as in SaSi. Mainly because those were good traits to use because we all have them in some capacity or at least have facets of them. Though I added the facet of Lust to my Intrusive Thoughts because I felt it fit.

3. I do have pictures of their side selves and what I imagine they look like humans, but I am waiting for their internet debut to show those.

4. They do have names, but I am debating on whether or not to reveal them when I do my debut due to wanting to make a full series later on as Thomas does but my own version. They are all named after Greek Deities though, some names are edited to fit more, but I chose that route because I am a Greek Mythology nerd so-

5. Technically yes and no. They do have visual clues for the 'dark' and 'light' sides but that is less because of how I see them and more of how taboo they are in society.

6. Yep! Rainbow as well! I am an artist and love color theory and the meanings behind colors. It's why you'll see the eyes colors deviate from their main colors. Plus the colors Thomas chose for each fit a good portion of them and it's wonderful. (It also makes it so the side I relate to most, Logic, is my favorite color so)

7. I have accepted them as a part of me, but that doesn't mean I like some of the things they do. I love my girls, even if they are pains in the butt sometimes.

8. Well, Logic gets frustrated with me when I don't study for my exams or do anything productive. Sometimes she'll get so worked up about grades that Anxiety will start to heighten and cause me to panic. So, Logic tolerates me. Creativity seems to adore me, especially when engaging in my creative outlets like drawing. Morality is pretty much the mom friend who loves everyone, there are times when the pressure from society makes her a bit upset at me, but we get through it. Anxiety makes that society thing worse, but she does care about me. Deceit enjoys it when I lie, especially because most lies I tell are to preserve myself (aka family who seem to go back and forth on whether they'd love me if I came out or not) but hates that I do not take care of myself better. My other Creativity wishes I'd take more risks and loosen up a little, but it seems to be from a place of not wanting me to have a boring life or die alone.

9. I think they would interact with other Sides, I kinda think it's a fun idea that sides from different people can interact after you've met the person. So, yes, I'm counting the Gavin Sides as canon. Anyway, they'd probably get along with their counterparts, especially all four Creativities, they would be so chaotic.

10. Oh, this one is tough and I haven't thought of that. I'll have to get back to that one. *A Couple Hours Later*

Logic: Born Without A Heart by Faouzia

Creativity: Kings & Queens by Ava Max

Morality: High Hopes by Panic! At the Disco

Anxiety: Breathin' by Thomas Sanders

Deceit: Savages by MARINA

Intrusive Thoughts: Burn It To The Ground by Nickleback

11. I have Pinterest Boards, mainly for their outfits and rooms, and I plan on doing a Q&A either here or on Instagram after their debut.

12. No, no I do not. Not for this fandom at least, for others I do.

13. I do have a characterized version of myself, but my sides are still my sides.

14. Honestly? I would LOVE it! As long as I'm credited as who those sides belong to and I would especially love it if I made a series like Thomas.

An Unconventional Defeat

Sanders Sides: Patton, Virgil Blurb: Patton knew that heroes started out young, far younger than villains ever did. But this young? Inspiration: From the Anon prompt: “I can take care of myself just fine.” with Virgil. Fic Type: Superhero!AU, Villain!Patton, Hero!Virgil Overall Fic Warnings: Near Death Experiences, Death Talk, Injuries, Hospitals Taglist in Reblogs:

He’s fourteen.

Patton stared down at the prone form of his nemesis, Onyx, in the darkened hospital room, mind racing.

He knew that heroes started out young, far younger than villains ever did. But this young?

Sure, that no good empathy that the heart twinged with seemed to chime all stronger for the children. For those naive fools who were still optimistic about life and wanted to believe that good would always win out in the end. That being good was the best way to live your life. That you could change the world for the better.

Patton had been a fool like that. Once.

He’d wanted to be a teacher. Once. Be an example to the rising generation. Once.

And then he’d had his eyes forcibly opened in college to just how cruel and heartless the world actually was. Goodness only got trampled. Squashed. Taken advantage of. Goodness only got used until it wasn’t useful anymore and then got dumped like so much trash. If one wanted to change the world permanently. One couldn’t do so by being good.

Kids though?

The poor fools didn’t realize that yet. That being good wasn’t well...good. For anyone. Hero work? Pointless. Especially with how active Patton was in the city.

Hero work didn’t put food on the table. Hero work didn’t pay the bills. It was a thankless never ending job.

A job that landed a fourteen year old in the hospital with head trauma, a broken leg, arm, fractured ribs, and multiple puncture wounds in the shoulders and abdomen that had only avoided killing the kid by sheer dumb luck.

A fourteen year old that Patton had been fighting for a good three years now, not that he’d known that until nine hours ago.

Onyx had always snarked at him in a deep distorted voice, had always been covered by an ever shifting melee of shadows that never showed just who was manipulating the darkness around him.

He growled under his breath, rubbing the back of his neck. Eleven. The kid had been freaking eleven when he’d first shown up to stop Patton from razing the police department to the ground.

No wonder Onyx had been so ferocious in defending the place. He’d still been of an age to see the cops as fellow heroes. The good guys. He hadn’t yet discovered their darker side. Just how much like school ground bullies most of them could be to the weak.

Patton clenched his hands, conscious of the frost coating his fingertips, of the room getting noticeably colder. “You’re an idiot.” He told the sleeping hero in a low voice, tensing as the shadows sluggishly stirred at the sound of his voice. “Ruining everything.”

He’d been trying to take down Onyx for ages. Perfecting the best way to use his ice bolts to freeze those shadows of his once and for all. It had been the best moment of his life seeing the hulking figure finally stagger when his ice had successfully pierced through the darkness and not fly out the other end. To know that they had stuck. To see those dark wisps vanish like so much smoke as the hero plummeted from the sky. To have a crater form from the impact that left a dust cloud floating in the air with no hint whatsoever of his shadows preparing to strike back.

It had been his greatest moment of triumph. The final defeat of his main nemesis.

An icy javelin had already formed in his hands, aimed for Onyx’s heart before Patton’s feet had even hit the ground.

But instead of the square jawed overly muscled hero he’d expected to finally see underneath that murky shadow disguise...he’d found a freaking child laying there, bleeding, broken, and unconscious.

One Virgil Hawkins. Fourteen years old. Orphan. Parents dead since he was nine. Grandmother dead since he was eleven though apparently no one else had realized that little tidbit yet besides Patton because he’d actually tried to find the woman last night after he’d rushed the boy to the hospital for emergency surgery only to discover the little urn with her name on it on the mantle of the fireplace in her home.

It was one thing to kill a Hero. And Patton...well he’d done in his fair share of heroes over the last decade. But killing a child? His heart might be cold. Frozen even. But as much as he itched to end Onyx the hero permanently...ending Virgil the child was an entirely different matter.

Not that anyone would know. Not that anyone would care if Virgil vanished the same evening Onyx died. He could freeze the kid’s heart here and now and not even the staff supposedly watching the boy would think much of it, injured as he was.

Patton frowned, breath misting in front of him as he held out an ice coated hand over the child, an icicle easily forming in his fist.

It would be so easy.

Who would care about the disappearance of a single boy? One who was practically a ghost in his civilian life. Certainly not the news. Certainly not the cops the kid had risked his life to defend. A kid only surviving as it were because he’d been clever enough to keep his grandma’s social security checks coming to the house as a source of income.

No one would notice if he just...vanished. Not even the school the kid attended would. Not when they couldn’t even tell him if he’d shown up yesterday for class.

No concerned teacher. No concerned counselor. No friends to worry about him suddenly vanishing. Not even the staff here in the hospital cared enough to keep more than a cursory eye on their John Doe as the police attempted to track down the boy’s nonexistent family.

Virgil had no one.

Patton let the icicle dissolve back into his skin, his hand lightly resting on the boy’s warm forehead, fingers lightly brushing the stitches there.

No one to pay the hospital bills. No one to look after him once he was released. No one to ensure that he had food, clothes and shelter. No one to stop him from being a fu-freaking idiot and going out to attack a villain old enough to be his Father.

Patton shuddered, pulling his hand back. Crofters forbid that. Teenagers were the worst. Onyx only proved that tenfold with how easily he’d wound up Patton in their fights. To have one living in his own home? With their constant mood swings, inability to do chores, and dependence on social media? Ha. No.

A groan from the bed drew him from his thoughts right as the shadows around the bed surged at him, latching onto his arm and jerking him forward with a startled yelp.

“Cold.” A hoarse voice whispered as pale fingers shakily rose from under the blanket, twisting to catch Patton’s wrist as the shadows pulled him within reach. Onyx’s eyelids fluttered as he placed Patton’s hand on his forehead. “Cold.”

Was he insane?! Patton growled, the temperature in the room dropping another ten degrees as he struggled against Onyx’s shadow grip. “Let. Go!”

The hero had the gall to smirk, dark eyes unfocused as he opened them fully, the shadows pulsing around them. “No way, Icy.” He whispered. “You cold. Feels good. You stay.”

WHAT?! He wasn’t an icepack! “I’ll freeze your burning head off! LET GO, you idiot!” He allowed a thin layer of ice to form under his hand to prove his point. It was bad enough that Onyx could match him throw for throw on a good day, it was worse knowing that a fu--freaking half-drugged teenager could still hold him with minimal effort.

Virgil closed his eyes, stupid smile growing wider. “Rubber. Glue. Back to you.”

Patton blinked. “Huh?” What was that supposed to mean?! This was why he hated teenagers. They didn’t make a lick of sense whenever they spoke.

“You’re the idiot here.” Virgil dropped his hand, the shadows releasing their grip. “Coming in uniform? To a hospital? To see me? For shame.”

Patton scoffed, taking a step back. He wasn’t some first year amateur to walk in the front door dressed like this. “Like I care if anyone sees me, kid.”

If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t afford to let anyone see him actually caring about anyone’s welfare, especially some ‘random’ kid found on the street after the big fight with Onyx, he would have blasted the front doors off their hinges and made a grand entrance instead of manipulating the ice of his clothes to resemble simple civilian attire before sauntering inside, no questions asked. After all, no one ever looked twice at some guy walking around in a black shirt and blue jeans, not even in a hospital.

Though. He flexed his fingers. It wasn’t like it was outside his wheelhouse to freeze people to death if they got in his way.

Onyx frowned, the shadows pulsing as he opened his eyes again, making eye contact. “No...you wouldn’t would you….why are you here--No.” The darkness gathered underneath him, carefully carefully pushing the kid upright in the hospital bed. He hissed, uninjured arm moving to wrap around his stomach. “Why am I here and not dead, Icy?”

Patton lifted his chin, glaring at the hero. “Did you want to be dead?” He asked, hefting a javelin of ice in his hand.

The teenager had the gall to roll his eyes, though Patton didn’t miss how the shadows surged around him in a protective shield. “Missed your chance, buddy. Don’t tell me your frozen heart actually thawed a little during our fight.”

“No.” Patton jabbed at the shadows, not at all surprised when they easily shattered his weapon with a quick twist.

So the kid wasn’t as out of it as his dilated eyes made it seem. Good to know.

“So I’m alive then….why?”

Why did it matter? “You’re fourteen.”

Virgil scoffed, slowly moving the arm that was in a cast so it too rested against his stomach. “So? You’ve killed kids before.”

Patton stiffened, ice flashing from his feet to cover the floor like a mini ice rink. Did the boy honestly not care about his own life?! “You shouldn’t have been fighting me in the first place, Onyx! You’re a kid. A Fu-FREAKING KID. Your biggest worry should be passing some stupid Math test! Making friends in school. Not squaring up against the worst villain the city has ever seen!” A villain that always, always killed his nemeses no matter what.

Virgil huffed, spreading his arms, the shadows twisting around them. “Last time I checked, this kid could wipe your ass into the dirt without breaking a sweat. I can take care of myself just fine, thank you very much.”

“But you shouldn’t HAVE to.” This wasn’t some stupid dystopian novel. No normal eleven year old should have such a stupidly high Chosen One complex.

“And who’s fault is it that I have to, Icemas?” Virgil’s eyes practically glittered like obsidian shards as the shadows lifted him off the bed, turning him to face Patton properly, the machines squeaking in protest as the various tubes connecting them to the hero shifted out of alignment. “No one else was stepping up. No one else would face you.”

“That’s the point!” Patton hissed, shooting a ray of ice to the door, crystals covering the window there and locking it in place so no one else would be able to investigate the alarms going off, before stepping forward to jab a finger at the boy’s chest, though he was careful to not actually touch the wounds there or send any ice bolts at him. “I’m showing everyone that being a hero is a useless archaic practice! No one should have to risk their life day in and day out for complete strangers who will never appreciate your sacrifice! If you had died tonight, Virgil, who would have cared?! The media? Ha.” He shook his head, gesturing to the blank TV screen in the corner as the shadows pulled back to quiver behind the young hero. “They’d mourn you for maybe a week tops before moving onto the next sensational story, the next stupid hero trying to make a difference. Maybe, maybe they will name some shiny new building after you, to remember you by, but then what? NOTHING. You’d be DEAD before you could ever drive and it would have all been for naught!”

Virgil frowned, shadows lowering him so he was sitting on the bed. “...You know my name?”

Patton stiffened. That’s what the kid was worried about? Him figuring out his civilian identity instead of nearly dying?! That was so messed up. “Someone had to try and track down your family, kid. The idiots here weren’t gonna do it.”

The hero had the gall to grin, though Patton didn’t miss how his fingers clenched the sheets. “Aww, well isn’t that sweet of you, Popsicle. How did that go?” He tilted his head to the iced over door where distant voices could be heard as the handle rattled. “Good old mom and dad waiting outside to see me? To check in on how their ickle Virgikins is doing?”

Teenagers. He hated them. “You know they aren’t. You have no one.”

Something flickered in the boy’s eyes. “Oh! Then let me guess.” He rested his chin on his uninjured hand. “You let the staff know I’m on my own? Do I get the oh so fun opportunity to experience our stellar A+ foster care system now?”

Patton rolled his eyes, shooting another bolt of ice at the door for good measure. “Please. They still think you’re a John Doe.” The lazy bums were waiting for him to wake up first. Hoping that Virgil would tell them who he was before trying to track down his identity or family.

“Excellent.” Virgil gave the door an appraising look. “Think they’ll believe amnesia?”

Patton blinked. “....Do you not feel the stitches holding your head together?” Or the baseball sized lump on the back of his skull from hitting the pavement?

The hero shrugged. “Honestly?” The shadows pulsed around him. “It’s all kinda fuzzy agony currently. Can’t differentiate what parts of me hurt and what doesn’t.”

How was this kid even awake?! Patton stepped forward, pushing the boy back down flat on the bed. “Then REST before you hurt yourself further, idiot.”

“Aw, love you too, Popsicles.”

“DON’T CALL ME THAT.” He would never be a fu-freaking Father to anyone.

“Or what?” Virgil relaxed against the pillows, even as his hand twisted to catch Patton’s wrist again. “You’ll kill me?”

If he wanted to do that the kid would be dead already. Patton jerked free, another ice spear forming in his hand, pointed to the boy’s throat. “No.”

“Aw. You scared to?”

“NO. I’m not killing a KID. Our fights are done with, Virgil. No more Onyx. He’s DEAD.”

The boy scoffed, pushing the spear to the side. “Last I checked, Icy,” The shadows surged over him in a swirling mass until the familiar shadowy form of Onyx stared back from the bed. “We’re the same person.” His voice echoed. “And I’m still alive and kicking.”

Ooooohoooho. Patton could feel his eye twitching as ice crept up the walls and window. If it were just Onyx he’d take great pleasure in killing the hero here and now. He itched to do so. But he couldn’t. Not with knowing that Virgil the child hid underneath the darkness. “I won’t fight you, kid.”

The shadows pulled back, revealing Virgil looking far paler than before, his face glittering with sweat. “Coward.”

“Idiot.” The kid needed to see a shrink. No normal fourteen year old would be this stubborn about wanting to constantly go up against him and face death by his hand!

“I know you are but what am I?”

The window shattered, sending frost covered glass glittering to the floor. “Hopefully grounded by the fool that ends up taking you in.” He got out through gritted teeth, ice particles shimmering in the air, ready to defend as the shadows around Onyx sprung up like a series of blackened tentacles writhing behind him.

He pitied whoever ended up with this troubled teen in their home…though...maybe he could arrange for the kid to be shipped across the country to live far far away from here. Getting out of this place could set him straight. Snap him out of this stupid hero phase he was in.

Virgil threw his head back, laughter ringing throughout the room as banging sounded from the door, the ice blockade cracking under the strain.

Judging by the way the ice was shearing off, someone with heat abilities had finally shown up.

Virgil shook his head, still grinning, though his eyes held no laughter as the shadow tentacles sharpened into jagged points, all aimed at Patton’s chest. “Oh that’s rich. Me, grounded? Like a normy would be able to stop me from coming after you the next time you decide to wreck the city.” He pushed himself up onto one elbow, jabbing his cast at Patton, the shadows quivering behind him like a pack of hunting dogs waiting to be unleashed as the temperature in the room dropped even further. “Face it, Popsicle. If you’re not gonna kill me then you’re stuck with me being your nemesis. If you want me to stop being the hero and keep me alive, then you have to stop being the villain. And we both know you’re not gonna do that. Your precious plan is too important to just give it up for my sake.”

And that was the crux of the matter wasn’t it? Patton snarled, raising his hands, the ice particles in the air morphing into a slew of arrows all directed towards the boy. He didn’t want to kill Virgil. But he couldn’t give up his plan. Give up being the villain. Not after a decade of fighting to get all those idealistic fools to see what a farce being a hero was. He was so close to winning. So close. “Fine.” He surged forward, grabbing the boy by the throat, ice arrows darting about to block the shadow tentacles of the kid’s from interfering. “You value my plan more than your pathetic life? Then you should--”

BANG.

The door behind them shattered, sending a heat wave full of shrapnel blasting into the room.

IDIOTS.

Patton whirled, flinging a wall of ice towards the figures in the doorway in an attempt to block the worst of the heat from outright killing Virgil then and there. IDIOTS! Did they not care at all that an already injured kid was in the ro---

A half melted silver door knob burst through the resulting steam before Patton could react to it, clocking him between the eyes with enough force to knock him backwards, his world vanishing into cold, silent darkness as the hospital floor rushed up to meet him.

1.) you have a character named EJ (the letters of which stand for no other than Elton John) (that’s gay)

2.) his narrative foil (just fyi having a same-sex narrative foil is automatically gay) is a bisexual curly haired twink with big brown eyes, cuffed jeans, and a blurred line sense on what is “bro talk” and what is just flirting (i.e. “pretty boy”, the pillow fight, the “lovers” comment, etc.)

3.) both of the characters are within the same love square, constantly shown to have short, flighty relationships with the same girls. despite this, they’ve built up and tried to keep a close friendship outside of unknown, hormonal-driven spikes of jealousy

4.) i have grabbed the mouse by the tail

every fandom has the gay person’s straight ship. aka the straight ship that is so legitimately good and valid that people don’t ship it just because it’s straight and in the show.

for cobra kai it’s robby/tory (and damanda for the parent crowd)

for stranger things it’s lumax (and, in some cases, chrissy/eddie. i said what i said)

for hsmtmts it’s gina/ej. point blank period portwell is so good

that’s all thank you and gn <3

i’ve been meaning to say this for a minute but like i think people in the st fandom should--what’s the word--acknowledge fanon content more, and like allow people to ship what they want (to an extent, guys) etc.

maybe it’s because i’ve been in a lot of fandoms where we relied on fanon content to carry the fandom (which is why i left sanders sides lol) but i think that stranger things is so rooted to it’s theories and whatever current ship is being portrayed, that people feel the need to shut others down in their fanon content.

for example, is steddie going to happen? most likely not, they’re going down the (imho basic) route of stancy. does that mean that no one should ship steddie or make content of them, and that the ship is inherently bad, because it’s not in the show? absolutely not.

concepts of things (especially ships) is what encourages creativity and content. i actually think the concept of mileven is pretty cool (but the way they show it in the show makes me not want to root for them). basically, just because a ship isn’t canon, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t like them or make content about it. that’s literally what fandom is for.

My #1 post of 2022

for all of the ej slander we have endured this season, i am willing to accept an apology in one of four ways:

1.) ej gets an emotional scene in which he breaks down and has a heartfelt song dedicated to him, like all of the other struggling characters have gotten thus far (some have gotten multiple songs).

2.) ej gets a hot villain bop in which he corrupts the entire show as a last screw you all to the cast who has been nothing but inconsiderate of him

3.) ej gets a heartfelt ballad in which we can all begin to sympathize for him until it takes a sickening turn into a hot villain bop

4.) ej gets with ricky

Okay wow, Moon Knight is entirely blowing my expectations out of the water. The portrayal of DID is really good and makes it easy for the watcher to understand, and its only aided by Oscar Isaac's AMAZING acting. The CGI for Konshu is so good, and just the entire atmosphere is so enthralling, I just wanna know more about this whole situation. This very well may take the number 2 spot for my favorite marvel show (nothing can beat Loki, honestly)

69 & 71 for the writing asks! ^^

These were good questions and had me doing a bit of digging believe it or not.

69) "What are your favorite fics at the moment?"

At the moment, I may as well put my favorites as a list to make things easier.

"Just Like You" and "Unapologetically You" by @just-another-blog-of-fluff

"Little Wonders" by @wrenhyperfixates

"Sparks", "Mischief Meets His Match (Part One)", and "Trust" by @writingfics-passingtime

And literally just about all of @high-functioning-lokipath's Loki and Marvel works

71) "What's your favorite writing compliment you've gotten?"

This compliment actually wasn't given on Tumblr, believe it or not. This was given on one of the stories in my book of Sanders Sides t-fics on Wattpad. The link for that book can be found on my Masterlist, but after looking through the book, I realized that the story itself is also on the Masterlist, too. Anyway, in this story, the ler was really teasing the lee. The problem was that the teases were also effecting me, too, and I'm the writer!😂 I made a comment on it as an author's note in the story (which is also shown on the Tumblr post) saying that I was flustering myself😅 Well, someone commented on that statement on Wattpad saying, "I felt that 😅 I can't write anything cute without blushing and reading this making me blush too. You're an excellent writer" That honestly made my day and is one of my favorite compliments on my writing I've ever received.

Thanks again for asking, hun!

If anyone else wants to ask questions, here’s the list! Knock yourselves out!

Along with this one, in a recent post I said I was gonna start clearing my ask box and reblogging my work, so let me know what you want me to pull back up! Love you guys! See you soon!

[sophiexwrites]

So the new Sanders Asides episode dropped and I have a lot of thoughts (spoiler warning!):

Logan needs more support! The irony that it’s Remus who’s working his way into Logan’s mind and pointing out that Thomas is the one ignoring him is not lost on me. Our boy needs listening to, he needs to complete his arc already.

And judging by the end scene, everyone else needs more on their arcs too: no one’s arc is finished but that makes sense, since C!Thomas is still growing and learning too. I’m still intrigued on how they’ll balance all the arcs though. Who will complete one first, if at all?

Orange! Logan’s eyes go orange when he gets angry… therefore the orange side is Logan turned dark? I thought (and still think) this would be a wild head canon shared by a surprisingly large percentage of the fandom, but no, it might come true! I don’t know what to think of it but boy it’s going to be good-

If the above is correct, I can only wonder how long this has been in the works for. We’ve had hints about orange for a long while, if I remember correctly.

Can Virgil please start supporting and not attacking the sides, especially Patton, please? I miss their duo and that end credits scene broke me slightly (but I do understand why it was necessary).

Logan and Remus stans rightfully have been given content! Their dynamic is so good and complex; it works so well to flesh out their individual characters because they are such antithesis’s of each other. It reminds me of Janus and Patton.

Speaking of Janus and Patton, Logan’s eyes turning orange remind me of Lily-Padton: do all the light sides have an angry alter ego type thing? Why? Is it to show that it’s all grey, and no aspect is truly always light or dark?

We saw the return of Nico! In live action form! Honestly, it made me so happy, even if his character is confined to the Asides. It’s great to see how the series is developing.

End credit thoughts: the shared mythology references? Brilliant. Janus sitting on the tree and eating the apple as another biblical reference? Exquisite. I love symbolism.

The cinematography seems so professional in this episode! They’re stepping up their game and doing things differently.

Getting nerdy here, the set design was crucial to this episode (given the elaborate schemes Remus constructed) and I think it was executed very well. It seems mostly realistic, with a side of exaggerated comedy which is expected from SaSi.

I’ll probably add more onto this later, but these are my initial thoughts! I’d love to hear yours in the reblogs or comments too!

boo

going to get this out of the way first.

dni -

terfs, Trump supporters, racists, homophobe/transphobe, exclusionists, bigots, MAPs, incest shippers/supporters (r3mr0m included), nsfw blogs, pro-lifers, N@zis/antisemities, Islamophobes, abelists, xenophobes, classists, shitty people, etc. [this will update as needed].

•••••••

about me -

hi :) i use she/her (she/they? idrk) pronouns and i’m bi (this is questionable) and ace (this is Not). i play some instruments, swim competitively, and am ridiculously invested in chem, psych, and comp sci. if you do want to get to know more about me, i don’t know what to tell you, this is what you’re getting.

it’s time for me to flaunt about whatever the hell is on this blog, so buckle up.

•••••••

taglist -

disclaimer: i don’t really have a specific taglist or anything. i also forget to tag stuff half the time 🤩.

i’ll usually tag the content i’m reblogging as a specific fandom, non fandom, or ‘ask to tag’ post. i’ll also add triggers as needed; it’ll come up as “[trigger] tw”. send me a dm if you feel that i should tag something. thanks :).

•••••••

fandoms -

honestly, nothing serious right now, but i do reblog some good omens or sanders sides from time to time if it pops up. i've watched bbc sherlock, t.h.i.s., and listened to wtnv and tpp??? no idea if that helps, but i'm also an avid rick riordan (+ tpq) and alice oseman reader.

•••••••

things that i’ll post -

music, art, it really depends on how i’m feeling and if i have time. i’ve recently gotten into draft writing, so i’ll definitely post those if i’m feeling confident. i mostly reblog a lot of content though, so original content from me is like a blessing from the heavens.

•••••••

thanks for reading :).

[novainthevoid]

Alright, new game for everyone in the Sanders Sides fandom. (Well okay people have almost certainly had the idea before but oh well, let’s just have fun)

So! It’s been stated before that c!Thomas’s sides developed based on his background and how he grew up. For example, Roman looks like a prince because Thomas’s concept of creativity developed from the classic Disney prince and Remus split from Roman because of the guilt from his religious upbringing.

Well, I’ve been think about what my sides might look like, and I think it’d be fun to see what other people thought there’s would be like too. Feel free to change around character titles, associated colors, etc. Mine will be under the cut! Also please feel free to reblog or tag me in your own ideas. I’d love to see them!

Logic: associated with a dark blue. They keep their hair short and out of the way. Their clothes are very clean and professional, likely a simple black button up. They are likely one of the strongest influences out of all the sides due to the fact that they’ve been heavily praised for most of their life. They’re very curious and good at schoolwork, but secretly fear not being seen as mature or failing once they get out of the system that has allowed them to thrive. Any situation that takes them out of their element causes them to majorly flounder.

Morality: associated with dark green. They look very much like someone’s mom: shoulder length hair cut, green sweater, glasses. They also often act like someone’s mom, typically trying very hard to be gentle and soothing when giving advice. Deep down, however, they’re really more like someone’s older sister, trying desperately to come across as mature and give good advice while not knowing how. She definitely mimics the behavior of those she looks up to, and consequently her advice tends to be skewed towards what she thinks you should be doing/feeling/saying.

Social Self-Preservation (Anxiety): associated with red. They’ve got long hair that covers their face and typically wear incredibly nondescript clothing like dark oversized hoodies. They likely also have certain monster-like features as a consequence of being demonized and go to lengths to cover these up. They tend to constantly lurk in the background, particularly in social situations, and are constantly observing how others react to the actions they take. If morality gives some kind of advice, they’ll be the one watching from the background, reacting to each micro expression and telling them where they should go next. Probably also the source of intrusive thoughts.

Creativity: associated with purple. She’s the epitome of the spunky 2000s protagonist, with very very long (probably dyed) hair and oddly colored eyes. She dresses pretty femininely but also in a more eccentric way, such as in Lolita-styled clothes or colorful punk outfits. She’s spunky, all over the place, and honestly probably acts a bit like a 13yo who’s just discovered fanfiction. However, she’s incredibly genuine, even if she’s over the top and a bit too attached to cliches. She’s also been pushed away for most of her life due to the overwhelming desire for acceptance by the others.

I’m not sure yet about any others but yeah! I mentioned it briefly, but Intrusive Thoughts would probably be mixed up with anxiety here. Might contemplate one for Deceit/selfishness but we’ll see

REALLY LONG  CHARACTER  SURVEY. RULES. repost ,   don’t  reblog !    tag 10 ! good  luck ! TAGGED. I took this from Minnie’s archived Bioshock blog. I’ve been looking for this meme all this month.

MUN QUESTIONS.

Q1 :   if  you  could  write  your  character  your  way  in  their  own  movie ,   what  would  it  be  called ,  what  style  would  it  be  filmed  in ,  and  what  would  it  be  about ?       A1 : Recently I decided that if/when I try to write anything serious about Eve again, it’ll center on her being a jewel thief because it presents me more fun, and emotionally diverse, opportunities. That and I have a very specific cover image in my mind. Ideally, her adventures would be a series of books. I have no title in mind, no idea about how ‘it would be filmed’ ( although a style replicating 90s films would be excellent, film grain and all. ) but, I do have a bunch of plots in mind that I really don’t feel like typing out here.  

Q2 :   what  would  their  soundtrack / score  sound  like ?         A2 :  Her score would have a vintage sound (or a jazzy Spike Lee sound, if you will) with instrumentals by Dorothy Ashby (a Jazz Harpist) the Ahmad Jamal Trio, Pharaoh Sanders, Yusef Lateef and Tarika Blue. For music with lyrics, the soundtrack would include the likes of Julie London, Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald, and Dionne Warwick.

Q3 :   why  did  you  start  writing  this  character ?   + Q4 :   what  first  attracted  you  to  this  character ? A3 :  Whenever I make NPCs for my character’s lives I actually can’t just let them just be NPCs. I start thinking about them too much. Developing them too much. And then I’m like, ‘wow! I really like this character!’ Eve was a different character when I began writing her, and likely wouldn’t be considered the same character as she was previously, if I told someone in real life who knows about my writing (like my grandma) about all the changes she has undergone. Originally Delores was a university professor, because I thought it could lead to interesting interactions with college-age muses. And her previous history with the mafia was also something interesting to tap in. But then I started thinking about what was realistic, what wasn’t realistic, what did I feel comfortable/interested writing? What didn’t I feel comfortable/interested in writing?  So as time went on, things would alter about this character. And the new things I came up with attracted me more. 

Q5 :   describe  the  biggest  thing  you  dislike  about  your  muse.         A5 :  I have a love/hate relationship with Eve’s quiet demeanor. On one hand, I think quieter characters need love and the ability to be fully dimensional but on the other hand, writing louder characters has always been more fun for me. But really, Eve’s guarded behavior makes writing her stressful in some cases with others because sometimes...if I’m going to be honest...people don’t know how to carry a thread and interact with someone of her demeanor effectively. 

Q6 :   what  do  you  have  in  common  with  your  muse ?       A6 : We’re both black, we’re both into art (although our exact interests and aesthetics with art differ)

Q7 :   how  does  your  muse  feel  about  you ?         A7 : Realistically she would think I need to take better care of myself.

Q8 :   what  characters  does  your  muse  have  interesting  interactions with ?   A8 :  We skippin’ this question.

Q9 :   what  gives  you  inspiration  to  write  your  muse ?       A9 : Films such as, “Waiting to Exhale,” “The Kitchen” and “Widows.” Books by Alice Walker, like “The Third Life of Grange Copeland” as well as her short story, “Roselily.” The historical mob figure Stephanie St. Clair.

Q10 :   how  long  did  this  take  you  to  complete ?       A10 : A few hours.
