When that sanders sides hiatus be so long c!thomas changes the layout of his entire apartment

[sayornispress]

My most recent project, and most intensive project in a long time!! Halo Effect and Soldier's Heart by @alex51324. Five books in all, totaling over 1700 pages. Details, story spoilers, and more photos under the cut - there are quite a few!

In WWI, English soldiers wrapped their pants and boots with "puttees", and the spines mimic that look. Rather than actually wrapping, or cutting the spine cloth into pieces (which I worried would fray over time, especially with the opening and closing of reading), I pleated it and sewed it to the cover cloth (which is light canvas-y green but otherwise rather plain, so I'm not including photos here). The titling is flat gold heat transfer vinyl.

The bookmark charms relate to the story, of course.

Halo Effect - I felt that Thomas was defined by his status as a footman and this sets up his massive character change throughout the series, so the first bookmark charm is a footman's button, though not a Downton-specific one.

Soldier's Heart, vol. I - This fountain pen nib is from the early twentieth century. I found in the first volume that Thomas's social network, and communication both to and from define this part of the work.

Soldier's Heart, vol. II - My dad collects WWI memorabilia, including bullets (it's in this volume that Thomas is shot). He cut a bullet down for me to use for this binding. This particular bullet is English, rather than from any of the opposing nations, since he doesn't collect those (and I was rather lucky he had even an English one) but tbh I don't have the slightest idea what the difference is.

Soldier's Heart, vol. III - Y'all this is a genuine RAMC WWI coat button. I couldn't not use it. Wholly unmodified, to be clear, so if the book ever needs rebound or anything changes, it can be removed and reused as necessary. I chose this volume for the button because I felt Thomas really come into his own as a member of the RAMC, away from the war - and because I wanted to use the bullet for the last one, and this is the only volume this button would fit on, other than the last, but that's a whole other deal.

Soldier's Heart, vol. IV - Thomas, whose father was a clockmaker, becomes a chauffeur at the end of Soldier's Heart. My first idea was to use some sort of gear that resembled a car part as a charm. I come from a long line of magpies/dragons/Gollum-like creatures, and my grandfather had, in his garage, an alarm clock that belonged to my great-great-grandfather, gathering dust, because my grandpa had been meaning to fix it and just hadn't gotten around to it yet (he'd been saying this since the mid-seventies, at least - my aunt wanted to use it, since it would have matched her quilt). Anyway, we all gathered around the dinner table to take this clock apart, which turned out to be a rather violent act involving pliers, several screwdrivers, an orbital sander, a drill press, and a hammer. I got a few gears out of the deal, and my cousin (a mechanic) selected the one that looked the most like a car part, scaled down. So. Double connection.

It's a bit difficult to tell in the photo, but the speckled edges each have two different colors, and there's, again, a reason for each choice! Each color represents something specific:

Blue - clear skies/relative calm Green - naivety/he's got things to learn Brown - the muck of war Red - blood (Thomas's and others')

Halo Effect: Green and blue Soldier's Heart, vol. I - green and brown Soldier's Heart, vol. II - brown and red Soldier's Heart, vol. III - green and red Soldier's Heart, vol. IV - red and blue

The speckling is also more intense in the middle three books.

My signature throw, as well as a close-up of the hand-sewn endbands (each volume's endbands match the speckled edges of that particular book) and a bit better look at the RAMC button, though a bit blurry.

And next to it, my metadata page and the gratitude from Halo Effect. I'm very much enjoying this metadata layout, and here's as good a place as any to give some general typesetting info:

I used IM Fell Great Primer for the body text, 11pt, 15pt leading.

Next up, the details in the letters--each character has their own handwriting, and a few are showcased here:

Syl drew a face in the margins of one of the letters with Theo, and I mimicked it for the binding. (Yes I was in fact crying as I did it)

Don't be afraid to ask if you'd like to know the names of any of the fonts - all from Google Fonts, since I do my typesetting in GDocs. I love the first one, in particular (Joey's) because I so rarely use it. I'm very happy with how they all turned out, they feel like they match the personalities well, in my opinion, though I should have made a couple a touch bigger.

---

I think that's all of my photos! I'm so so proud of how this binding turned out. It had quite a long turn-around - it's not unusual for me to have less than two weeks between reading a fic for the first time and having a bound copy on my shelf, and I read this fic for the first time over the course of nine days all the way back in March. (Which. okay. Not that long actually.)

I had a really lovely time with the binding, as well, because I got so much input from my family and friends - my dad was integral in the whole process, not only in the donation of the bullet, but also in the design of the covers in general and in answering my WWI questions, and my mom helped me pick colors for the endbands and edges. My grandpa donated a clock, and my boss helped me figure out how to get the charms attached to the ribbons, and her sister helped me with sewing, so all in all this whole experience has been so wonderful, so special. I'm so grateful for it.

My cousin and I were talking about where each sander sides were located in the room and my cousin stated “I know the inside of Thomas Sander’s house better than I remember the layout of my childhood home.” We were both very amused by this.

I love Janus’ function being Denial if simply because it means this pun can be made.

Bonus panels I left out below:

*Suprised Pikachu face*

[blogging-time]

aaaah i just saw that anxceit is a ship and its actually kinda cute! please could you do some headcanons of it? :D

Send me a “Sanders Sides” ship and I’ll respond with a list of HCs or an AU.

Anxceit Headcanons - Also requested by @babeygremlin

💜 When the pair are alone together Janus will often choose to remove his gloves, whereas Virgil will almost always choose to remove his hoodie unless he’s having a high anxiety day. This practice started as a sign of trust between the two lovers – Janus would remove his gloves in a silent promise of honesty, while Virgil removing his hoodie was intended to symbolise him letting his guard down by removing his protective layers/comfort item.

💛 Whenever Janus is feeling like a sad little noodle, he will often transform into a tiny snake and hide away in Virgil’s pocket until he feels ready to brave the big bad world again. He will also slither into his favourite hiding place in order to avoid Remus’ shenanigans, or simply because he needs a break from acting as the team’s one brain cell.

💜 Unlike Janus, Virgil isn’t exactly a major fan of transforming into something small whenever his nerves are starting to run high. The anxious trait often worries that the others may accidentally step on him if he isn’t careful, and so he had to seek out an alternative solution. Now whenever Virgil needs an urgent dose of escapism, Janus will transform himself into a massive snake and carefully wrap his coils around his boyfriend. The constant weight and warmth provides the anxious trait with a much needed sense of security. Plus, he knows if anyone even tried to approach him and his undoubtedly venomous partner while in this state, the intruder would soon be hissed away… or, in the event that intruder was Remus, they would be swiftly batted away by a rather large snake tail…

💛 Due to having some snake-like characteristic, Deceit is a cold-blooded creature. He frequently struggles to stay warm at night time and during the winter months. Sometimes Anxiety is able to act as his personal heat pack… but at other times he just needs his space. To ensure Janus doesn’t turn into a packet of frozen noodles while his back is turned, Virgil decided he would get his boyfriend a blanket shawl. The exterior appears rather simple, but Virgil took the time to meticulously sew both his and Janus’ logos on the inside as a sneaky surprise. When Janus discovered this, he told his flustered partner, “This is not at all the gayest thing you’ve ever done. I hate it.” (Translation: You’re so gay. I love you.)

💜 Virgil is actually much more sentimental than he first appears, and sometimes he likes to hoard things that remind him of the other sides. In his room there’s a patchwork blanket that he’s made out of older blankets, clothes, and even one of Patton’s lost tea towels. He started making it before he’d ever even left the dark sides. Back then the only piece of fabric sewn into it had come from a pyjama top Janus had allegedly intended to throw out… That corner of the blanket it still the one he nuzzles his face into whenever Janus isn’t there to lay down beside him.

💛 Janus and Virgil actually share a rather dark sense of humour sometimes. One of their favourite running jokes repeats itself anytime someone attempts to cook eggs for breakfast. (“Oh my God! He’s cooking our children alive! Somebody send help! Quick!”)

💜 Since Janus is the resident “Lord of the Lies,” he does a rather excellent job when it comes defusing Virgil’s concerns and pointing out the falsehoods in all of his negative self-talk. Deceit doesn’t care if his anxious boyfriend needs him to stay up half the night just so he can drift into a restful slumber – Janus has done it before and he will do it again. Time is a social construct, but emo boyfriend loving hours are twenty-four freaking seven.

💛 Despite how often Janus preaches to the others about self-care, it’s not uncommon to find our favourite resident noodle neglecting to take care of his own wants and needs. Fortunately, Virgil is excellent at recognising stress in others, so he always knows just when to swoop in and kidnap his boyfriend for a long day of relaxation. It’s hard to refuse when your boyfriend has the ability to lift you with ease – not that Janus would ever even pretend to complain anyway. Nor would Janus ever try to correct Virgil by telling him you’re supposed to take your clothes off before relaxing in the bath… the important thing is he’s trying his best…

I needed this for two reasons:

A) So i can know where I’m looking when i act out Sanders Sides characters lol

B) SO I CAN WRITE FICS ACCURATELY AAAA FINALLY!

[tstwitterupdates]

hey friends i genuinely think it’s time to pass this blog over to someone else.

i am not leaving the fandom or anything but i’m really only interested in whatever will happen in the next sanders sides episodes. i don’t really care much anymore about the other content thomas posts (even sanders sides-adjacent stuff), so sharing his tweets about anything other than clear video updates feels like an obligation and sometimes i just don’t do it, which is unfair to you that do want to see what he is up to and what he says about other projects or about his life.

the problem is that i don’t know how i would go about finding someone else to take over the blog. i don’t want people turning it into something that it isn’t, but i’m sure they wouldn’t.. the goal of the blog and the type of posts are very clear i guess.

i think the general rules would be not to reblog stuff that isn’t from thomas’ blog and not to post stuff that isn’t related to thomas’ tweets and other of thomas’ social media posts. and to limit the posts to that mostly and keep your personal commentary to the tags or asks. don’t use the big following for self-promo and idk… try to do what’s best for accessibility for the followers in terms of the layout of the posts.

so idk. i’m just thinking about it. if you’re interested um dm me and we can talk and i’ll just.. keep thinking about it.

Little Kestrel (Part 41) [Birds of Different Feathers Series]

Fandom: Sanders Sides

Relationships: Logan & Patton & Virgil (future Virgil/Patton but not in this story)

Characters:

Main: Logan, Patton, Virgil

Appear: Thomas

Mentioned: Janus

Summary:

It was supposed to be a quick job either way. Either Virgil would assassinate King Thomas of Prijaznia or he’d be caught and get executed. Yet, when Virgil gets the wrong bedroom and gets caught by Prince Logan and his future royal advisor, Patton, the job ends up getting way more complicated for the 14-year-old. He also ends up sleeping in a (actually pretty comfortable) closet for a few weeks…

Notes: Implied/referenced child abuse, assassination attempt, knives, torture mentioned, captivity, teenagers being really dumb, sexual coercion of minors implied, a minor offering sexual favors

This is a prequel to Kill Dear. I wrote it 100 words at a time on my blog, but this is the edited version. If you want to see how it was crafted (and possibly some future content), look at the tag proofread stories.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 Part 11 Part 12 Part 13 Part 14 Part 15 Part 16 Part 17 Part 18 Part 19 Part 20 Part 21 Part 22 Part 23 Part 24 Part 25 Part 26 Part 27 Part 28 Part 29 Part 30 Part 31 Part 32 Part 33 Part 34 Part 35 Part 36 Part 37 Part 38  Part 39

Virgil, despite cautiously believing the king’s words, was still half surprised when he wasn’t immediately thrown into the dungeon upon leaving the safety of the walls with the man. He didn’t even call the guards. Instead, he just calmly led Virgil down a set of stairs with a warm, not restraining, hand on his shoulder.

Virgil didn’t know what to think. He didn’t understand how he could not be in trouble for smacking the prince, but he was also cold, tired, and hungry from his days spent in the castle walls. He’d once been used to being all of those things, but now after only living in the castle for a little over a month, they stung a little harder. He even found himself leaning into the kings hand a bit, having missed hugs from Patton and Logan in the last few days.

He’d memorized enough about the castle layout to know they were going in the direction of the kitchen. He also knew that it was midafternoon between lunch and supper being served. There weren’t many people in their path except for the guards and they didn’t even give him a second glance.

The king took Virgil through the same side entrance Patton and Logan often used instead of through the dining hall. Patton’s mom’s office door was closed and instead of going all the way to the kitchen, the king paused to knock on it.

“Helen,” the king called through the door. “Would you mind coming out here please?”

“Just a moment,” was called back through the door and after just a few seconds the door was opening. Her eyes landed on him, and she immediately looked relieved. “Virgil,” she said. “Goodness where have you been? Patton’s been worried sick.”

Virgil bit his lip, unsure what to say to that. He’d assumed Patton would be mad at him too when he learned Virgil had hit Logan, but then again, according to the king not even Logan was mad.

“Would you mind making something for him to eat?” the king asked.

Her eyes snapped to him. “Oh, yes, of course. Virgil, sweetie, what do you want?”

Virgil just shrugged.

“Ham sandwich for now,” she said studying him, “and then I’ll make something more for dinner. Let me go grab your meal preference cards.” She stepped back into her office and grabbed the little box off of her desk full of the cards she always sent with any new food she served Virgil, so he could rank them.

Virgil watched, confused. He never did quite understand Helen with her endless willingness to feed him and to get his opinion about what she fed him with. She always reminded him of Patton with how kind she often was, though she was a little stricter than Patton ever had the heart to be.

There was no sternness to her now, however. She was fussing over him as she led them to the kitchen and started warming water for tea before grabbing the ingredients needed for the promised ham sandwich.

She made him clean his hands of the dirt and dust they’d acquired from days crawling through secret passageways before handing him the sandwich. Thomas at one point stepped out of the kitchen for a few moments but was back quickly with a smile. Virgil smiled back at him hesitantly. He was still surprised he was in the kitchen drinking warm tea and eating a sandwich as the head chef personally fretted over him.

The king also accepted a mug of tea and didn’t even watch over it closely despite Virgil sitting right there in poisoning distance. Instead of looking worried or angry when he noticed Virgil staring at him and his mug, he simply smiled softly and ask him if he needed more tea.

This man… was an idiot.

Virgil had thought that Logan wasn’t careful about his own personal safety, but apparently Logan had actually improved upon his family’s habit of being reckless. Virgil would have to complement him and provide him with more opportunities for growth if he was that willing to grow and adapt.

…If Logan didn’t hate him now.

Thomas said he wasn’t mad, but he could be lying or wrong. Virgil had hit Logan. Virgil knew he’d never been fond of the people who’d hit him. Of course, in this case, Virgil hadn’t meant to do it, but he still had. Even if Logan wasn’t actively mad, there was the possibility that he wouldn’t like Virgil anymore. That was almost worse because people who were mad might eventually calm down and forgive you, but if someone just decides emotionlessly that they don’t like you anymore, that’s a lot harder to reverse.

Logan had always been nice to him despite being a prince who didn’t need to give him the time of day and despite knowing why Virgil had come here. Logan was his friend. He didn’t want to lose that.

He finished off the ham sandwich pretty quickly and Patton’s mom almost immediately set down a plate of cheese and crackers.

“Thank you,” Virgil said softly.

“Of course,” Ms. Heart said, and Virgil jumped a bit in surprise when a hand touched his head, but calmed down after just a moment. It wasn’t that different than Patton, though he wasn’t that used to adults touching him. At least not gently or at all in the castle. “I’m glad you’re okay.” The hand stayed in his hair for only a second longer before pulling away. “Hmm,” she said. “Have you been living in the walls perchance?”

Virgil nodded at her.

“Ah,” she said, wiping off her hand on her apron. “Perhaps a bath would be in order after you finish eating.”

“Yes, ma’am,” he replied.

“More tea?”

He nodded again and she moved to take his mug over to the kettle. He turned to pop one of the crackers with cheese into his mouth and was still chewing when the nearest door suddenly sprung open.

He flinched, looking up to see Logan in the doorway, breathing like he’d run all the way from the other side of the castle. “Virgil,” he said sounding relieved. He’d crossed the room before Virgil had a chance to get anxious and was wrapping him up in a hug before he could do more than lightly flinch in surprise. “Thank goodness you’re okay. Where have you been?”

“In the walls,” Virgil replied.

Logan rubbed a circle into his back and hugged him harder. “I’m sorry,” he said.

Virgil jerked in surprise. “Why are you sorry?”

“I made you run away,” he said. “You were scared of me.”

“I hit you,” Virgil pointed out confused.

“It was an accident. You were having a bad day and I touched you without permission. It was my fault.”

“I…” Virgil said, “but…”

“I’m not going to be angry when it was just an accident, Virgil,” Logan said.

Virgil didn’t know what to say. He tucked his head against Logan’s shoulder and sniffled a bit. “Sorry anyway,” he said.

“It’s okay,” Logan said. Virgil felt a kiss being pressed to the top of his head. “Patton and I were really worried.”

“Oh,” he said. Tears started to leak from his eyes as he sniffled more. Logan just held him even tighter to the point it was starting to restrict breathing, but Virgil didn’t want him to let go. “Sorry,” he said again.

“Hush,” was the gentle response. The hug continued for a long few moments before Logan pulled back to look at him. “You are very dirty,” he commented.

“You’re a bit dirty now too,” Ms. Heart pointed out with a chuckle. Logan glanced down at his front. You could see an outline of Virgil’s body on his clothes.

“Ah,” he said. “It seems I am.” He seemed amused though, and honestly if he wasn’t going to be mad at Virgil for slapping him and then running away and hiding for days, he probably wasn’t going to be mad about that.

The king and Patton’s mom also didn’t seem unhappy with him getting the prince messy when he glanced at them. Ms. Heart seemed entertained, and the king was just smiling.

Virgil felt himself calming down more than he had in days, assured that Logan didn’t hate him and tentatively trusting that neither of the adults planned to lash out at him anytime soon. Ms. Heart handed him his refilled mug of tea and pointed him back at the food. Virgil relaxed fully into his chair.

Until, of course, the door blasted back open, word having gotten to Patton who proceeded to strangle him with a hug and cry at him loudly, but that was okay too.

Part 42

Birds of Different Feathers Master Post

My Masterpost

[intrulogical]

i wanna say, one thing i think that's widely considered canon but is actually incredibly fanon would be the collective fan interpretation of the rooms in sanders sides.

like, i think about how most fics depict each side having a room up the stairs while the living room is the common area. but we've seen before that not all rooms are merely accessible by walking to it. we see that virgil and patton's rooms have their OWN version of the living room. we don't actually know if these guys have bedrooms or anything.

and another, the imagination! we all have the same depiction; an infinitely big room that can conjure up anything at will. or maybe it already has a lot of stuff in there that comes and goes with whatever thomas creates.

this post doesn't really have a point, but i find it interesting how everyone sort of shares the same idea of the layout of thomas' head when there could be all sorts of different variations we can possibly consider, especially since a lot of these aren't canon yet

[childishfluff]

When did the fanders decide to ignore the canon room situation?

Okay so we were talking in the discord server and I just wanted to point this out. Not all, but most Sanders Sides fan content sort of ignores how the canon room situation works. 

In canon, the rooms morph to fit the location of Thomas, and the other sides being in them effects their functions. (Being in Patton’s room makes them nostalgic, being in Virgil’s makes them anxious). And you can only enter the room if Thomas shows you where it is/takes you there first. (Patton said they needed Thomas to get them to Virgil’s room, but once Thomas took them there once, they were able to go back on their own in the end card of Accepting Anxiety pt.2)

But the fanders (including me) usually portray the sides as living in some part of the mindscape (mind palace in canon, mindscape/the imagination is a term used between fans. Another example of the fanders collectively world building). They all live in a sort of house/apartment, with a ‘commons’ (living room), and a kitchen+dining room. Sometimes the house is two floors, sometimes one, and but the layout is usually pretty similar and simple. And exiting the house takes you into the imagination, or “Roman’s Kingdom/Domain”, as some fanders refer to it. And the rooms don’t always affect the functions of the sides.

Sometimes the dark sides live somewhere else and they come pester the core sides, and sometimes they all live together. There are so many different ways the fans do it, but it’s almost never the canon way.

When did we decide to ‘create our own canon’, and now everyone rolls with it? Like, I love concept of them all living together, but I constantly forget that in canon, it’s not like that. We’ve come up with our own terms, and world built much farther than the actual creators of the show have. 

Just imagine how many fan fictions would be ruined/have to be rewritten if Thomas introduced a whole different concept for how the ‘mindpalace’ works, that contradicted the sides living in households together? Debunked our theories on how Roman and Remus can create scenery in The Imagination, because “The Imagination” concept has yet to be confirmed. 

I think it’s kind of interesting how we agreed on something alternative to the canon universe as a collective whole, but I also just kinda wonder where the concept of then living in a house in the mind, rather than having abstract rooms and such, originated.
