#symp. dee

[geckozen]

symping for dee like

[team-free-squiggle]

Okay Guys, this is Part 1, Part 2 is next don’t worry!

[team-free-squiggle]

Okay but now I have an Idea (with sympathetic! But still an asshole Dee, and V and Ro who are also sympathetic but still somewhat assholes):

Deceit, Virgil, and Roman, all best buds, until Roman and Virgil run off to join the light sides for whatever reason - maybe because Deceit was manipulating them into staying with him (even though he didnt mean to)

And Dee feels betrayed, so he does the above

Buuut Virgil drags Dee back up, to sing this:

Virgil: "what the fuck would you do that to him for?"

Dee, while glaring at Virgil: "I thought he liked me. I thought you both did."

Virgil: Hate you? We never fucking hated you! But you hurt us until we couldnt trust you anymore!"

"Who am I, Mother Gothel?" The liar retorted.

Virgil, mockingly, singing: "Deceit knows best, he will protect us, from the other Sides we've never seen!"

"Though he's a liar, we can trust him, because Deceit knows best!"

*Virgil glares, and Dee glares right back*

"You stayed." Deceit said.

Virgil closed his eyes and nodded. "Dee, you kept manipulating us, warning against the other dark sides, but it got to the point where we were afraid of any of the others. Even though you mentioned Pat and Lo were okay, we didnt know. So when we met them, and they didnt... they didnt make us feel guilty for leaving..."

Dee nodded. "It made you want to leave more."

Virgil nodded, but made a sound of surprise when Roman popped up, still in his darker clothes.

"Pride, I- I am not sorry." Deceit said. Virgil raised an eyebrow at Roman, who sighed.

"I cant forgive you. Virgil and I... we did trust you, and we know you never meant to hurt us. But, Dee, you did this. And I am far to Prideful to be able to admit any of my own fault." Roman sneered slightly on the reference to his actual trait, wincing when his voice broke.

Deceit nodded sadly, sinking out.

"Pride? So... who's my Creativity, if you're Pride?" Thomas asked.

Pride snapped his fingers, laughing, as he transformed into Deceit. 'Deceit' came back up, giggling as he pulled a Linda Carter Wonder Woman style spin, turning right into Roman.

"I am, admittedly, both. You, however, Thomas, are not that selfish, usually. Therefore, I am more Creativity than Pride." The real Roman said happily, back in his white outfit.

Patton and Logan were highly confused. "What just happened?" The Logical side asked. Virgil snickered.

"Dee wanted a way to mess with you guys, but harmlessly. Roman wanted to reveal his Prideful side, and I wanted you to know that the three of us were and still are friends." The Anxious side smirked.

Deceit walked over to Virgil, bumping his shoulder gently. "How dare you, I totally did not want to mess with them." He said, making Virgil and Roman giggle.

"So why didnt you just tell us? Why this... rhis... " Logan struggled to Express how he was feeling. Luckily, Patton filled in the blank.

"This emotional roller coaster?" Logan nodded, relived that someone understood.

Roman dramatically sighed. "You put Deceit and Creativity/Pride together? Are you kidding me? And once we added in Anxiety, well, we had to do Disney villan songs somehow."

Virgil nodded along with Roman's words. "Yeah, last time we three did that kinda brainstorming, we got the full mashup of Disney Villan songs, and I guess they were still stuck in our heads." He shrugged.

Lo and Pat didnt like it, for which, the Darker trio were able to understand and apologize. Thomas, on the other hand, was glad that there was no actual drama between his darker sides (that he knew of) and still wasn't happy, but wasnt as deathly scared as he had been earlier.

Eventually, all the sides sunk out, except Virgil, who Thomas asked to stay.

"Virgil, why would you do that to Logan and Patton?" He asked.

"Remember, I am the same Side who keeps you up at night to look over all your mistakes. Plus, Roman bribed me. Meet my Spider!"

Thomas screamed.

Listening to prince Ali reprise and I got inspired

Deceit: Oh Thomas!there’s someone I’m dying to introduce you to!

Virgil: Deceit! Don’t you dare do this!

Deceit, singing: dear Princey, yes it is he, but not as you know him! Read my lips and come to grips with reality. Yes, meet a blast from your past, whose lies were too good to last. Say hello to your precious “creativity”!

*snaps Roman’s outfit into a different colored and sinister version of itself*

Deceit, speaking: or should I say pride?

Everyone is in various degrees of shock and Thomas is the first to respond

Thoams: Roman? Is it true?

Roman: I… I wanted to tell you for so long, I just, I didn’t know how-

Virgil: it’s not his fault Thomas! This isn’t easy! We were just trying to-

Patton, shocked and slightly angry: wait, we? Virgil, you knew too? You’ve both lied to us? Kept secrets from us?

Virgil: …

Roman: …

Patton: what else have you been lying about?

R&V: NOTHING!

Patton: I want to believe that, but, how can I?

Deceit, grining wickedly and picking up the song: So, Princey turns out to be merely A dark side! Just a con, need I go on? Take it from me…

His personality flaws

Give me adequate cause

To send him packing on a one-way trip

So his prospects take a terminal dip

His assets frozen, the venue chosen

It’s the end of the road, whoopee!

So long, to the dethroned Princey!

Deceit sinks out in triumph and all eyes are on Roman, which prompts him to sink out in shame. Regretful, hesitant and sad stares are exchanged by the remaining sides and Thomas.

What are they gonna do now?

[fuzziemutt]

I can’t stop thinking of dee with a snake tongue

[nachosforfree]

hello sorry to bother you but do you have any symp dee headcanons

im so sorry my first thought upon reading "symp dee" was... Simp like.... A niceguy...

FNEJFJS ANYWAYS

Literally all of my headcanons involving dee have him sympathetic, I don't do unsympathetic dee

He used to make breakfast for the dark sides, despite them not exactly needing to eat. He mostly did it to get Remus and Virgil actually awake. He doesn't do it as often now that Virgil is gone but sometimes Remus wakes up to the smell of food being cooked.

He has a bazillion snakes, each has their own name and he somehow never gets them mixed up

He likes puns but will never let Patton know this fact. Patton secretly knows it anyways

He's colorblind (not FULLY colorblind but if you asked him to name whether something was red or blue he's clueless)

He has very bad eyesight in his snake eye. Remus tried to make him wear a monocle but Deceit insisted that he isn't extra enough for one

He has several different capelets. Some of them have interesting patterns on them but a lot of them are just copies of the one he wears to work (i.e.: appearing to talk to Thomas)

[candied-peach]

ao3: “hush little baby” rating: T warnings: sympathetic deceit, (unsym! dee mentioned like...meta? i guess? he’s sympathetic in the fic though), analoceit genre: hurt/comfort description: Virgil shouldn’t have read that. (anon prompt: "So bc ur my fav symp!D writer and one of my fav ts agere writers; V has a tendency to read things that he knows will trigger him if they aren't blocked (in particular unsym!D which people don't tag a lot of the time) and then it makes him smol n sad n he needs big hugs from Dee (and Lo if u dont mind bc Im an analoceit fiend) bc deedee isn mean n bad lik they say n its no fair to b mean to him like that")

The sound of a barely muffled sob reaches Deceit's ears and he frowns, looking around the corridor. Roman and Patton are downstairs making cookies. As far as he's aware, Logan is in his room, but he planned to work on Thomas's schedule until dinner. Remus is on an Imagination quest. 

That leaves...Virgil.

Another hastily muffled sniffle confirms his suspicions and he carefully eases open Virgil's door, mismatched eyes straining to see the anxious side. Virgil's huddled on his bed, wrapped up in all his blankets, and his pacifier dangles from its bat-printed clip.

Oh, Deceit thinks, and eases his way back out. Virgil doesn't notice as he slips down the hallway to Logan's room. If Virgil is upset and regressed, Deceit thinks he needs both boyfriends.

"Logan," he says quietly, startling the other side. Logan looks up with wide, slightly annoyed eyes.

"It's Virgil," Deceit murmurs, before Logan can issue a word of protest. "He's regressed and from the sounds of it, quite upset. I thought it prudent to-"

"Oh yes, of course," Logan says, rising as he speaks and accidentally interrupting Deceit. "I apologize," he says at once. "I didn't mean to interrupt you. Please continue."

"It's fine," Deceit says, stroking the back of Logan's hand. "Let's go."

This time, Deceit is more obvious opening the door, but Virgil still doesn't notice, too wrapped up in his own misery, and that concerns Deceit. And Logan, judging by the worried frown on his face. Virgil always notices when someone comes in. It's part of being Anxiety.

"Virgil?" Deceit speaks softly. Virgil looks up, startled, and Deceit can see that his eye shadow has smeared all down his cheeks. "Sweetheart, what's wrong?"

"You'll be mad," Virgil hiccups, his hand coming up and fidgeting with his pacifier. Deceit sits down next to the blanket-wrapped bundle of Anxiety, while Logan takes Virgil's other side.

"No, I won't," Deceit says. "You're upset, baby bat. I want to help you. I can't help you if I get all mad, can I?"

"No," Virgil admits. His voice is still tear-choked. "But you told me- told not to look up stuff that upsets me and- and I did, but I didn't mean to, I didn't read the tags good enough, and-" He sniffles, fresh tears welling to the surface.

Ah. Deceit exchanges a look with Logan over Virgil's bowed head. Now he can fill in the blanks, at least somewhat. Virgil has a bad habit of looking up what's been dubbed "unsympathetic sides" on Tumblr. It always upsets him and both Deceit and Logan asked him not to, or at least to talk to them first. But it's not always tagged properly, or perhaps the 'unsympathetic' portion had inadvertently been buried.

In any case, Deceit can guess who Virgil had accidentally read about. He's always the most upset when it comes to Deceit himself. You aren't like that at all! He remembers Virgil's impassioned, blubbering plea on another occasion. You won't hurt me. I know you won't.

"It's all right," Deceit soothes, smoothing down the unruly strands of Virgil's hair with one freshly ungloved hand. "I'm not mad at you, storm cloud. Logan isn't either."

"Dee is right," Logan confirms. "Neither of us are mad. Accidents happen."

"You wouldn't do that stuff," Virgil mumbles into Deceit's chest as he turns and burrows into the front of Deceit's outfit. Deceit's arms automatically come around him, rubbing soothing circles on his back. "Never ever. It's not fair. You're not mean."

"Never," Deceit affirms. "But other people have the right to write what they want, too. Do you want me to go through and see if there are any new tags I can block for you?" Virgil nods.

"Yes, please," he says in a small voice.

"Storm cloud," Logan says, attracting his attention. "Is there anything you'd like to do now? Coloring or watching a movie, perhaps?"

"Movie?" Virgil requests shyly. "You- you both stay, right?"

"Of course," Deceit says, as Logan nods. "We won't leave you, baby bat. I promise." He presses a kiss to the top of Virgil's head, making the other side giggle weakly.

"Thank you," he says as Logan fiddles with the TV, trying to find an appropriate movie for them all to watch.

"It's no trouble at all," Deceit murmurs, settling the blankets around them both. "It will be okay, Virgil. I promise."

"Okay," Virgil says, and rests his head against Deceit's chest.

[5am-the-foxing-hour]

Hi, I know this is a blog abt symp dee but, if you have any unsympathetic dark sides posts, could you tag them? Or if you know anyone who has those kinds of posts, could you ask them to tag those? It's an issue I think needs to be pushed

I don’t got any unsympathetic side stuff (as far as i’m aware), I don’t tend to reblog it. Questionable sides are more likely to exist, but then again, my view on what is unsympathetic and not may differ from someone else’s idea on the same matter.

I do agree that the tagging of things needs to be made better, but that is for every side not just for the unsympathetic dark side content.

if you use the tumblr black list (not tumblr saviour) it will block every post where the original was tagged with the tag, even if anyone else doesn’t tag it.

[randomslasher]

sorry for not being clear, i didn't mean to state it as fact, i was stating it as my interpretation of it. it really upsets me when people say that deceit is evil or toxic but don't acknowledge terrible behaviour from the other sides (such as virgil or patton), for example, and i probably should have worded my original ask better. i just personally think that whether it's canon shouldn't matter? if i should tag symp dee, people should ALSO tag unsymp dee imo. i only say this because (1/2)

i've seen so many posts where people talk about dee ass if he's this horrible evil malicious entity whose constantly toxic and abusive towards the other sides (which he's not, he has not gone far enough for anything to be abusive. imo impersonating someone to get your point across without being immediately shunned is far from abusive) or don't acknowledge the other sides' bad behaviour too (everyone is flawed, i'm not saying deceit isn't, just that he's not the only one) (2/2) anyway that was all over the place and i'm tired but my point is i don't mind the discussion, just as long as anything abusive/unsympathetic/negative is tagges so i can choose if i wanna see it and make sure i'm not going to get triggered by it by doing so. thanks for being so understanding!

---------

Fair enough! I’ll do my best to remember, though like I said I tend to reserve my “sympathetic/unsympathetic” tags for canon deviation, so I may not remember. I just want to make sure you do what you need to protect yourself! 

(This is where some personal experience and interpretation may come into play, too. For example, you say that pretending to be someone else to get your point across is not abusive--and perhaps you’re right in pointing out that he was trying to get his point across without being immediately ejected from the conversation!--but to me, the fact that he did so in the literal form of morality is what makes it super questionable. The others listen to Patton largely because of what he represents, not just because he’s their friend, so speaking under the guise of that specific facet rather than just “I’m wearing a disguise so you’ll listen” is what pushes it into villainous territory for me, I guess. If someone broke into my partner’s email, for example, and emailed me “send me your credit card info” while pretending to be her, I’d do it, because I trusted the source. Pretending to be someone you’re not for the purpose of manipulating others is abusive in my opinion because it’s a betrayal of that trust. But like I said, a lot of that is going to be based on experience, and interpretation of the individual!)

Anyway I’ll do my best, like I said. :) Take care friend!

[ilovemygaydad]

F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

from everybody wants to rule the world (warning for guns and assassination mentions as well as unsymp remus/one-sided dukexiety and symp deceit/anxceit)

Dee fell back as Virgil stepped forward, growling, “Were you playing me this whole time? Trying to get close so that I’d lower my walls enough so you could kill me? Faking your love while I fell like a fool?”

“I would never--”

“That’s not what Remus said!”

Startled, Dee flinched back. “Remus?”

“Remus loves me. He would never lie to me, but you want to kill me!”

“Virgil, did you ever stop to think about why Remus’ kingdom has never had an alliance with ours?” Dee pressed, hoping that Virgil wouldn’t be jumpy enough to pull the trigger preemptively. “They’re bad people. They will do anything to get what they want, and I know for a fact that they’re not here for anything good.”

“You’re lying!”

A small, sad smile graced the servant’s lips. “I know that I’ve lied in the past, but I am saying nothing but the truth right now.”

I really like this because it shows that dee really does love virgil, and he doesn’t blame him for remus manipulating his love

fanfic asks

[pokii-jonas]

I mean, do you want a fic? the only thing I currently have going on with symp dee is my Accepting Deceit fic and a nsfw anxceit I'm not quite done writing yet... wish I could be more help, sorry :/

Pls send sympathetic deceit angst I need it

[nookisms]

Y'all be like "Don't use symp Dee and symp Remus" when you can clearly do the power move of TAGGING EVERY CHARACTER AS SYMP

[team-free-squiggle]

SOFT SNEK BOI DECEIT???? (do with this what you will)

Ask 2: I imagine it right before Christmas, Patton wants to be invite him dinner with him and the others, even though Virgil does not like the idea very much. Patton finds him in his room under a billion blankets trembling. He obviously lies and says he is fine, well, he attemps to say between sneezes. The rest is all yours ;]

Thank you to both of you, I can’t wait to write this finally! (I really apologize for how long it took)

~~

Fandom: Thomas Sanders

Prompt: the Above

Characters: Patton Sanders, Deceit Sanders, Logan Sanders, Virgil Sanders, Roman Sanders

Pairings: none, platonic DLAMP, mainly platonic Patceit, platonic Anxceit

Warnings: Deceit, snakes, colds (the weather and the sickness) 

~~It was the first real snowfall of the winter. Most of the Sides loved it. Roman could create sculptures and forts out of the snow. Patton loved how pretty everything looked covered in the white stuff, especially when the right amount of sunlight made the snow sparkle gently. Virgil loved the calming aspect of watching it float down, the grey sky feeling protective and cool to him. He and Logan also loved that it gave them excuses to wear the sweaters Roman and Patton had made them. 

So while Roman and Patton would remake the Vine Thomas did (Baby it’s cold outside, I’m gay and you’ll die outside), and Virgil and Logan sat and read/listened to music by a roaring fire as cookies were baking in a nearby oven, everything was peaceful. Their Christmas tree was already decorated, all of them, even Deceit having had a hand in it. It looked beautiful - Red, Light Blue, Dark Blue, Purple, and Yellow lights hung in between the branches and the multitude of bulbs and pictures and Disney and Tim Burton ornaments. It was their own little FamILY tree. 

Everything was literally picture perfect, and dinner was ready. There were 5 spots at the table - one for all the Sides in the house - and 3 of them were filled as Patton brought out the spaghetti he had made for them. Patton frowned - Logan, Roman, and Virgil were all there, but Deceit wasn’t. Then as Patton thought more about it, as he filled each of the plates, he hadn’t seen Deceit all day.

“Guys?” The other three stopped their chattering to look at Patton questioningly. 

“What is it Padre?” Roman asked around a mouthful of food, receiving an elbow from Logan for that. 

“Has anyone seen Deceit today? I want him to have dinner with us.” Logan and Roman shook their head as Virgil sighed.

“That might not be the best idea, Patton.” Virgil tried to let Patton down gently, knowing what was most likely happening with his old friend. 

“Now kiddo, you know that’s what Roman used to say about you, and I invited you down anyway. I’m not gonna leave you or him out.” Patton looked at Virgil sternly. 

“Look, Patton, he’s a snake. He’s cold-blooded, literally, I’m not trying to be mean here. He’s probably holed up in his room, under a million and 5 blankets with a cold. That’s why I don’t want him down here - he’s probably sick, Patton.” Patton was up and out of the room before Virgil even finished.

Roman and Logan sniggered at Virgil’s utterly done expression.

“It’s Patton, did you really expect anything less?” Logan smirked, making Virgil kick him as Roman laughed and ate more spaghetti.

Meanwhile, the parental side ran up the stairs, to Deceit’s room. He knocked on the door, hearing a muffled groan from the other side. That settled it. Patton barged in, and awwed at the scene.

Virgil had been right. Deceit was under all of his blankets, and most of the other Side’s. Yet he was still shivering. 

“Oh, Dee.” Patton moved, making the other side hiss. Patton giggled.

“We have a fire downstairs - don’t worry, it’s in the fireplace - and I made spaghetti for dinner, it’s fresh and warm, and we have more blankets and we have sweaters for you.” Patton said, grabbing extra tissues and garbage bags and teleporting them downstairs by the couch with a snap of his fingers. 

Deceit’s head perked up out of the blankets.

“I - cough cough - would totally not be interested in any of that.” The Side tried for a smile, but ended up coughing more. Patton sat beside him and reached underneath the blankets, gently scratching at the scales on Deceit’s back. The snake-like side stiffened for a minute, before relaxing against Patton. The Moral Side smiled, using the opportunity to snap away the blankets and move them downstairs to the couch too. 

Before Deceit could protest, Patton had him wrapped up in Patton’s (surprisingly warm) cat hoodie, about 3 robes, and had picked him up so that Deceit was curled into Patton’s arms and chest. 

Deceit really hated it. It was the worst feeling in the world to him. 

Patton smiled as he felt Deceit curl closer, and carefully made his way downstairs with the snek still in his arms (and bleping at the smell of fresh spaghetti. He really had always hated Patton’s cooking). 

“Look who I found!” Patton called out in a sing-songy voice, giggling at Deceit’s glare. They both heard the other sides giggling too, making Deceit glare at Patton even more. 

Patton took Deceit gayly to the couch, putting the blankets back around him and getting him his dinner. 

“This is horrible Patton, I will not say thank you for this monstrousity of a dinner.” The fatherly side heard a snek from the living room say as he walked back to eat his own dinner with his other kiddos.

“You’re very welcome, Deceit!” Patton called back happily. 

And since they knew Deceit hated the cold (and by extension, the snow), after dinner, the other sides turned the heat as high as they could stand it and cuddled with Deceit on the couch as they watched amazing Christmas movies.

Somewhere in the middle of Miracle on 34th Street, Patton looked around, and realized his kiddos were all asleep. He couldn’t help but smile.

Logan was tucked into Roman’s chest, a couple blankets on them. Virgil was leaning towards Patton, but still had his legs mixed up with Logan’s. Deceit had the most blankets and pillows of all of them, but he needed them. The side was curled against Virgil happily, right in between/on top of Virgil’s and Logan’s legs. Patton himself was busying his hands by playing with Virgil’s hair, happily eating a cookie and drinking his hot chocolate with the warmth of his FamILY and the light of their Christmas tree to keep him company.

I hope this was good!!!

T.A.R.D.I.S. Chapter 1: Roman + Bored = The Best Idea Ever

~~

Warnings: language, innapropriate jokes, fight scenes, certain song lyrics, Sympathetic Deceit, mentions of fear and anxiety, mentions of weaponry near the end

~~

Roman sat on the couch in the commons area of the mindscape, stunned as he tried to process that he had just finished the show that had quickly become his new favorite thing ever. What would he do now? No more new episodes until next year?

Doctor Who would have to wait a whole year? No more watching Tricey chase golf balls, no more watching the 9th Doctor fall in love with Rose Tyler, no more being introduced to different species across space and time? What would Roman do with his life and time now?

Logan would think this silly, he would say to just rewatch the series if it meant that much to him. Roman, however, knew from experience that you only get to see things the first time once, and that the feeling of rewatching is never quite the same as watching it the first time around.

Patton would be sympathetic, but would remind him that there would be a new season next year. Roman was not okay with this, he didn’t want to wait a year to see more of the Doctor’s grand adventures!

Roman knew that Virgil would understand, and would just hug Roman because he sympathized heavily. Actually, Roman recalled with a small, fond smile, Virgil was the one that got him into Doctor Who in the first place.

Roman didn’t really want to see his boyfriends right now, as he needed time to emotionally process everything that his boyfriends wouldn’t be able to understand, so he got up from the couch. After turning off the TV and the lights, he went to his room, and from there into the Kingdom of the Imagination.

Roman, upon entering Thomas’s Imagination, stopped to take in the view from his balcony in the palace. Little children raced each other in the village below, some playing games like soccer or just relaxing and talking. Others in the village hung out with their friends, and walked around town just having fun. Roman couldn’t help but smile at the scene -  a happy, prospering village surrounded by a golden sunrise and lush green hills. A bright blue river babbled happily down from a nearby mountain into a small forest, which let in the light from the bright sun shining down over everything.

Roman felt himself ease into the familiarity of watching the sunrise, letting his creativity flow automatically into doing something worthwhile with his emotions. Roman never was one to laze around when he was feeling, because all of his emotions made his creative works that much better and that much more genuine.

Roman smiled at the handsome lords, gorgeous ladies, and stunning nonbinary royalty as he moved through the palace and they waved at him. He was friendly with everyone, no matter their supposed ‘status’ in his Kingdom. That’s why no one bowed, no one was too strict or formal - it was just a friendly, creative, supportive environment. Everything Roman needed to come up with a good idea.

Roman went to the theater. Modeled after the great William Shakespeare's Globe Theater, Roman always went there to stand on the stage alone and just think. It was a way for him to tap into centuries of creative energy, and to generate some of his best ideas. So he thought about Doctor Who, what he loved about it and what he wished he could do with those feelings about it.

It was during this time that Roman realized something - ‘What if I had my own adventures like the Doctor’s?’ Roman began to plan out loud - he would personally much rather travel through stories than travel through a universe that, while interesting, was much less appealing to him than the fantastical worlds he read about. He recognized the complication of needing a Tardis, however, and that’s where his creativity came in.

Roman channeled his emotions into a single thought, willing the object in his mind to become reality and to do everything he wanted it to do and more.

~~

Virgil, Patton, and Logan were looking for their boyfriend. Thomas wanted to discuss some video ideas with the Sides, and they definitely needed Creativity for that. They couldn’t find him anywhere in the mindscape, though, and were beginning to become worried.

Logan realized, luckily, that they hadn’t checked Imagination, which is where Roman was likely to be, especially since he probably wanted to create something. This calmed them all down quite a bit, especially Virgil since he was the literal embodiment of Anxiety.

They sunk down into Roman’s room, quickly making their way to his extravagant theater. They were greeted by the other royalty in the palace with great enthusiasm, and were suddenly reminded that they, too, were all Princes in Roman’s world of Imagination.

They were polite to them all, but did insist that they had to find Roman. The people in the palace confirmed their suspicion that Roman was, in fact, inside his theater. They thanked everyone and made their way to their boyfriend happily, glad he was already in Creative (albeit borderline Daydream) Mode, and walked into the theater to see Roman, on stage, staring happily at a British Police Public Call Box.

They all stopped, Patton and Logan stopping out of confusion. Virgil had stopped out of shock, before making a very high pitched, practically inhuman shriek of happiness and running towards the stage. Roman turned around, startled, luckily with enough time to catch Virgil who had literally leapt into his arms with an excited “OHMYGODROMAN!!!”

Roman laughed happily, kissing Virgil softly before opening the door to the Tardis. Patton and Logan moved slowly towards the stage, extremely confused as to why Virgil was so excited over a freaking blue box.

Virgil took his boyfriends’ hands when everyone was on stage, pulling them towards and into the box.

“Uh, Virgil, I don’t think we’ll all… fit…” Logan trailed off when he stepped inside the bigger-on-the-inside, hella magical box.

He and Patton wandered around, admiring the hexagonal walls. It was a clean, dark blue and silver theme while having accents of bright blues. The thing that Logan identified as a control panel, however, had all sorts of red and purple and gold buttons. It was a mix of all their colours, and yet maintained a specific style that Logan could only assume was from whatever Roman had based this off of.

Patton noticed the picture frames of the four of them scattered around the large room, and he too saw the colours that went with all of them. He sat in the light blue bean-bag he discovered in the corner, admiring the room as Logan sat in the dark blue bean-bag next to him. Virgil collapsed into a black and purple bean-bag, pulling a red and gold one out for Roman, who sat next to them.

“Babe you made a Tardis, and it’s like… like… for all of us!!! How!? What!? You’re fucking amazing!” Virgil nuzzled into Roman’s side like the black cat he is, smiling as widely as the day Patton had asked him, Logan, and Roman out on a date the first time. Roman blushed happily.

“Well, I finished the show, and had a lot of emotions that I decided to put into a positive creative energy that could be used to make the four of us happy,” he whispered, slightly embarrassed. Patton and Logan were still staring around the box happily and in awe, and also hella confused as to what their other two boyfriends were going on about.

Virgil, on the other hand, knew exactly what Roman was feeling and hugged him.

“I’m so proud of you, doing this… it’s amazing, Ro.” Roman melted into the hug, heart melting slightly as his boyfriend said those words to him, of all people.

Logan and Patton smiled at their boyfriends for a moment, before the two broke apart and Logan got to ask the question that had been banging on the inside of his head for the last few minutes, since he had first seen the Tardis.

“So what the hell is this thing, exactly?” He exclaimed, not wanting to be confused anymore.

Before Patton could reprimand him for his language, Virgil jumped in with an explanation.

“In the show I recently introduced Roman to, Doctor Who, the main character can travel through Space and Time using his Tardis, which looks almost exactly like this. It’s the machine that travels through Space and Time, Logan. It can go anywhere, anywhen. It’s freaking amazing.” The other three Sides couldn’t help but notice how Virgil’s eyes lit up as he spoke, and god, he spoke with such passion that the others couldn’t help but fall in love with him even more.

Then Roman spoke up.

“While all of that is true, I, uh… I made some modifications. Instead of travelling through Space and Time, this Tardis travels through stories. We can go through books, and movies, and TV shows, and maybe more. I don’t know. I just wanted to make this so the four of us could have some very interesting dates.” He blushed a lot as he spoke, almost stuttering as he was unsure of how his boyfriends would respond. He looked down at the ground at the end, ready to have them shoot down his ideas.

When they didn’t say anything after a short while, Roman looked up. He was not prepared for how each of his boyfriends was looking at him, having prepared for disappointment and to be told no.

How wrong he was.

Instead, Logan was staring at him in admiration and awe, with a huge smile and a proud look in his eyes. Logan had had no idea that Roman would ever make something that appealed to all of them. He was impressed with how Roman did this, and that emotions could make something that could become everything to all of them.

Patton was smiling too, absolutely proud of his Creatively inclined boyfriend. Patton didn’t know exactly what Roman had done yet, but he was proud nonetheless. Plus he was excited for the potential of something to do with stories. Honestly, he was just bouncing excitedly as he looked at Roman, the background being one of Roman’s amazing creations.

Virgil, too, was smiling, and he moved towards Roman in order to hug him. Roman could only focus on that wonderful hug after the smile, though, because this one affected Roman the most. He knew Virgil held the context of what he was talking about. Not to mention, Virgil’s smile always melts Roman’s heart. The way that his face just lights up, but he somehow manages to smile with his eyes too.

Then there was the way that he was able to hug Roman and convey everything they both were feeling - anxiety, nervousness, yes - but creativity and passion and pure, unfiltered love and admiration. Logan and Patton joined, and all of a sudden Roman could feel that they were all impressed and happy and that all four of them loved one another without fear.

The emotions were almost overwhelming, but none of them minded. It was perfect for who the four of them are together - a family whose fire can never die. And with that feeling in mind, Roman fired up the engine of his family’s Tardis.

“All the stories, the tales, the arts in the world. Anything ever written or that will ever be written. Where would you like to start?” Roman smirked at his boyfriends, all four of them ready for the best adventure they would have to date.

One word and one word only: petricore

Awwww Alex thanks so much!!! ~~Verse: canon

Prompt: above

Characters: Deceit Sanders, Logan Sanders

Pairings: none, platonic Loceit

Warnings: (sympathetic) Deceit as a character, being outed accidentally, mentions of some a-hole being rude about another person’s gender

~~

“Hey, Dee?” Logan asked, making the embodiment of lies look up from his book. Deceit set the book down, looking Logic in the eyes.

“Yes, Logan? What is it not?” He asked, not curious at all. Logan looked nervous, which sent some warning bells off in Deceit’s head. 

“Well, did you see what happened today with Joan?” Deceit shook his head and sighed. Yes, he had seen the hateful comment towards Thomas’ best friend about their respective gender. Everyone in the mindscape had been upset about it, although Joan had already reassured Thomas several times that they were okay.

“So that’s a yes?” Logan asked. 

“No.” Deceit replied, glaring at the floor.

“Great. So anyway, it made me go looking in the library for knowledge on different genders to calm down.” Deceit shook his head again, making Logan continue.

“And there I found something interesting. I summoned all the books on gender, and then, after reading them all, another book floated down without me summoning it. I opened it, naturally, and found that it was about the sides. Turns out, we all have different sexualities and genders.” Deceit froze.

“I asked the others if they were fine about being open about this now, and they all said it’s okay to talk about it, so do you want to know?” Deceit shook his head no, truly (for once) hoping that only the others were in that book of Logan’s.

“So, Patton is pan. Which, kinda makes sense, him being the heart and loving everybody.” Deceit smiled, once again being honest. It did make sense, Logan was right about that.

“Roman is about as gay as they come. Which is a surprise to no one. He’s also genderfluid, so there’s that. By the way, he can totally rock a princess gown.” Logan smirked, making Deceit giggle. Logan smiled warmly at Deceit, before continuing on.

“Remy, is also gay, and he’s trans. He’s always been open about that, though.” Deceit shook his head no again, signalling that he was agreeing with Logan.

“Virgil is a demiboy, and bi for boys and enbys. Girls are really no one’s forte, except for friendship.” Logan smiled, Dee nodding along. Virgil did like he/him pronouns, but sometimes he had seemed uncomfortable with them. So it made sense to Dee that he was a demiboy.

“Me, I’m a gay ace.” Logan smirked. Dee nodded thoughtfully, smirking right back at Logan with all the lack of confidence he was feeling.

“What did your book not have to say about me?” Dee asked, needing to know. Logan’s expression softened, making Deceit more and more terrified by the second.

“That you are a demifluid enby, and that you would never trust us with the fact that you feel more feminine than masculine most of the time.” Logan spoke softly. 

The instinct of self preservation for one Thomas Sanders bolted right out the mindscape’s front door, running into the field beyond their little house that Roman had created. 

It was raining. Deceit really couldn’t care less. He didn’t care that it was muddy, that he was slipping and sliding. The thunder didn’t make him jump, and there was no lightning to blind him.

Deceit ran until he couldn’t run anymore. He paused. And then he ran some more.

“THEY KNOW THEY KNOW THEY KNOW THEY KNOW THEY KNOW!!!” Was repeating over and over in his head, no other thoughts entering there except that he had to get away. 

Deceit kept running, past and past his limits until he collapsed. 

He was in the middle of a clearing in a forest, gasping for breath. He distantly noted that the rain had stopped somewhere along the way, but it was still wet.

The only difference was that now he could smell the petrichor.

He was breathing too heavily, his heart rate too high. But maybe, he lied to himself, maybe he was far enough away.

Deceit knew he wasn’t, especially when he heard a calm voice behind him.

“Dee…?” It was Logan.

“Come here.” He groaned. He meant, of course away, stay away. But he knew Logan would totally listen to him. He always did.

“Please, Dee, I didn’t mean to freak you out. I just - I wanted to see if it was true.” Logan implored. Deceit somehow found the strength to stand, turn, and glare at the Logical Side.

“See if it was true? What, me changing gender every 5 seconds is good enough for you? What, me wishing to use they/them pronouns is good enough for you? Me wanting to wear pretty dresses but also suits and ties is good enough for you? I am freaking good enough for you?” Deceit shouted angrily. He was sick of it all.

It was one too many people who had said nonbinary wasn’t a real gender. It was too many people who used the wrong pronouns. It was too many times wishing to tell the others who he was only to be shot down because he’s the embodiment of lies.

It was Logan finding out who he was in a book that Deceit didn’t know existed, a book that told the logical side everything about him without his permission.

It was Deceit, finally forced to come to terms that he wasn’t like any of the other Sides, and worried about being shunned for it. So he did what he does best. Lie. Hide. Stay away.

Only now, thanks to that book, none of those strategies would suffice.

“Deceit. You know we accept you for who you are, right?” Logan asked, gently and slowly putting his hand on Deceit’s shoulder. 

Deceit glared. “You could totally accept me for doing my job. Why would I think any differently about my gender?” He spat harshly. Logan winced.

“We do accept you for who you are. We don’t necessarily like the job you do, but we don’t mind you as a person, Dee. You are not just lies. I am not just Logic. We are our own entities with our own thoughts and feelings and overall we accept each other even if our jobs make it rather difficult at first.” Logan glared right back at Deceit, trying to make him understand.

Deceit scoffed, making Logan sigh. Logan looked around in thought, then perked up.

“Dee, do you hate the rain just because it makes you wet?” Logan asked.

Dee smirked. “…no.” Logan sighed, rolling his eyes.

“The rain gets you wet because that is it’s job. You might not like it for that, but, take a look at the world around you. It’s not all bad. Without the rain, we wouldn’t get flowers blooming or the scent of petrichor.” Logan smiled.

“In this case, you are the rain. And I actually have always loved petrichor. It’s�� truly beautiful. Rain can create beautiful things.”

Deceit looked up shocked. “So you do hate me?”

Logan smiled gently and shyly. “Of course we don’t hate you, Dee. You’re a part of the FamILY.” Logan opened his arms for a hug, and Deceit took the invitation with great enthusiasm.

And as they hugged there, Deceit began to wonder. Maybe he was, really and truly, a part of the FamILY.

And that thought made him smile as the scent of petrichor drifted around them, making them feel safe and calm with each other.

Prompt: can you write a hurt/comfort fic with Logan having a bad day and the other three cheering him up?Romantic LAMP please. (Btw your stories are great!)

Okay I really love this prompt, thank you so much! @awesomelissawho! I did take this kind of as “a dark Side caused this bad day” so I really hope you don’t mind!

Also you’re super sweet, thank you so much!!!!!!!!!! :D

~~

Fandom: Thomas Sanders

Summary: the ask

Please note I am basing this all off the color theory about the Dark Sides

Characters: Logan Sanders, Roman Sanders, Patton Sanders, Virgil Sanders, Insanity (OC), Mentions of Jealousy and Carelessness (both OC’s), Thomas Sanders and Deceit Sanders are mentioned a couple times

Pairings: Romantic LAMP

Warnings: hurt/comfort, Logan being hurt emotionally, Insanity as a character, mentions of Deceit as a good character

~~

Deceit could keep the Dark Sides hidden from Thomas, could keep them away from him.

Logan often wished Deceit could do the same for him, especially his orange-clad counterpart Insanity. The Side was, well, Insane. Logan hated it. 

Every Light Side had their counterpart.

Patton, as Morality had Deceit. Logan thought Patton lucky because Deceit honestly wasn’t that bad - just highly attuned to not wanting to get in trouble ever.

Light blue and bright yellow. Almost complementary, like the sun in a bright summer’s sky.

Roman, as Creativity, had Jealousy. A bit worse than Deceit, especially since Thomas hated whenever he felt Jealous. It was somewhat hard for Roman, of course, because Jealousy popped up whenever Thomas saw anything that could be thought of as better than Thomas’ only work. 

Logan didn’t hate Jealousy as much as the others, though, because he and Virgil were always able to push Jealousy away from Roman and Patton. 

A rich red and emerald green. Warmth and cold, earth and fire. Opposites that never could attract because Jealousy was easily a little bitch to Roman. 

Logan did hate Jealousy for that much, at least. 

Virgil, as Anxiety, had Carelessness. The boy literally cared about nothing, and it always infuriated Virgil because he cared so much about everything. This was always an especially strong rivalry, from Virgil’s perspective anyway, when it came to Thomas’ safety. Virgil usually won out, now, but he didn’t when they were younger. 

Bright, beautiful purple, and a blinding white. Carelessness was nothing. Virgil was vibrant, and was so much stronger now. 

Logan was proud of his boyfriends. Because sure, they had their own Dark Sides to deal with, but they dealt with them. 

Patton was able to counter Deceit by showing him how honesty had helped Thomas in the past where lies had failed. Whenever Deceit got too strong, Patton was able to stop him by, well, having a better ethical stance.

Logan always had been so impressed by his Patton’s ethics and course of conduct - always proper and polite. It was very logical, in a way, and never failed to make Logan’s heart melt. 

Roman was able to counter Jealousy by creating. Whenever Roman created, he felt stronger and better. More Princely. It always made Jealousy slink away, because Roman was able to be the Knight in shining armor the other three Light Sides considered him to already be. 

Logan always had loved when Roman would protect him. Whether it be from monsters in the Imagination, or from his own bad days, Logan was always grateful for Roman. His Prince, who never failed to live up to his reputation as the romantic side and made Logan feel loved.

Virgil was able to counter Carelessness by being, well, careful. Carelessness always sat around and did nothing - he literally didn’t care enough to do anything - so by Virgil doing something, Carelessness was automatically countered.

Logan loved when Virgil felt better about himself by doing something to help Thomas. When they were younger, Virgil had always felt powerless. Now, however, Virgil was so much more powerful, and Logan had always admired that. The strength it took to be ones’ self was insane, and Virgil had it. And, when Logan was with Virgil, Virgil made him feel okay with himself too.

The Logical Side’s boyfriends were strong and powerful and beautiful. Logan believed this about all of them. 

But he didn’t believe those same things about himself.

Because his Dark Side was Insanity.

The most trying of all the Dark Sides, even Deceit agreed with that. 

And Logan had to put up with him constantly. 

There were days where he did nothing, too busy in the Imagination doing things Logan dared not think about. There were days that he did things, too - usually “games” that hurt Logan.

Logan had never told the others about Insanity. It wasn’t that Insanity hurt him or anything - just toyed with the idea. And the psychology of that, basically, made Logan very scared of the Dark Side. Insanity didn’t do anything - but he could. And Logan was terrified of that.

He hated being unprepared, so he made sure to protect his fellow Light Sides from his counterpart, because he didn’t want them to be hurt. Insanity had always threatened to hurt them, because he knew that it would hurt Logan the most.

Logan was not about to let that happen.

As the years went on, Insanity appeared less and less often. Logan was always on edge, always ready just in case, but the eight Sides had grown apart.

Logan, Virgil, Roman, and Patton had all gotten together. The Dark Sides, so called, began to edge further and further away. They were still parts of Thomas, and therefore wanted to survive, and knew that happiness did have to exist for Thomas to survive.

So they agreed that the Light Sides could and should be happy together, for which said Light Sides were eternally grateful.

But Insanity was easily bored, and he was in a bad mood a lot. The other Dark Sides began to leave him alone. So he decided to have a little fun (for him) and send Loan a nightmare. 

Logan had been asleep in his room. Roman and Patton and Virgil were downstairs, letting Logan sleep. He had been super busy of late, and they didn’t want him to wake up any time soon. They knew that he needed the rest. Little did they know that he was no longer getting any. 

All Logan could see were his boyfriends, his FamILY, getting hurt because of him. He was trapped, trying to break free, and meanwhile Roman and Virgil and Patton were getting hurt.

Logan woke up, realizing that Insanity had sent him the nightmare. Then he realized that he couldn’t see any of his boyfriends, and began to worry that they had been hurt.

Luckily, Virgil heard the crying and had felt the spike in Anxiety. He called Patton and Roman upstairs, and they barged into Logan’s room.

Patton was the first to approach the Logical Side.

“Logan?” It was soft, and hesitant, but it was all that was needed to make him look up.

“P-patton? You’re okay?” Logan was still crying, and it made Patton’s heart break. He carefully moved towards Logan, opening his arms up but not moving, so as to let Logan make the choice.

Logan dove into Patton’s arms, crying louder. Roman and Virgil moved closer, helping get them all on the bed, as they tried to comfort Logan.

Roman rubbed his back gently, giving him a sweet, romantic massage.

Patton was still cuddling Logan, holding him so tightly that he felt he may never be able to let go. Not that he would ever want to let go, anyway, but still. The Emotional Side loved the Logical Side a whole lot more than anyone (Besides Roman and Virgil) had thought. 

Virgil whispered to Logan, coaxing out of him the story of his nightmare. Patton and Roman tightened their grip on Logan, making sure to never let him go, to let him know that they weren’t going anywhere.

Virgil told Logan about how much they all loved him, about how strong he was for dealing with Insanity by himself for all these years. The others agreed, and slowly but surely, Logan began to relax.

Soon enough, all four boyfriends were cuddling sleepily in their beds.

And if Insanity smirked because he wanted them to be happy? Well, he’s literally Insane. Who knows what he wanted to do.

Either way, the four Light Sides ended up happy together, and they knew that nothing would ever be able to take them away from one another.

~~So this was kinda/sorta hurt/comfort but also ended up being my headcanons about the Dark Sides?? So I’m sorry but at the same time not. 

I do hope you liked it, though!~~
