I EXPECTED SOMETHING SANDERS SIDES RELATED BECAUSE OF THE INSTAGRAM STORY HE MADE BUT “CHANGING FOREVER”?!?

TS (re)tweet 17/5/24

and part of it will change forever in tomorrow’s video

[transfemlogan]

idk if you were being serious lol, i have trouble with tone. but whats wrong with some of the ts critters?

which ones are "right" and whos just "shitting on anything"?

i am finally off of work & just ate a sandwich so now i can finally talk abt this.

please note: I am referring to a small group of fans within the critical side of things.

On both sides of the community, no one (hyperbole) can ever settle with a middle ground or have any sort of grey area. it's always extreme. it's always "thomas is the worst person ever & all of his actions r terrible" or "thomas is the best person ever & all of his actions are good", when in actuality human beings are complex and cannot be contained in one absolute or another.

Some TSS critical fans focus on things that absolutely do not matter or have the most wild takes I've ever seen. I was one in a sasi critical discord server awhile back and everyone was complaining about Thomas' posting his clothed ass on instagram ... he quite literally underpaying his employees. i think one of these is more important than what he does with his own body.

and the thing is there are some things that he does in regards to his body that IS weird, such as: why is he posting sexually as velma, a teen character, on his patreon which (at the time, idk if it is still now) is not age restricted.

but him posting himself in a spiderman suit where if you look REALLY hard you can "see his underwear" is not the biggest issue in the world. or him not wearing a dance belt in the same costume. sorry, but actually i think you're the weird one if you're focused so heavily on how his genitals look in cosplay! the way you guys talk about it is lowkey leaning towards sexual harrassment, and I don't know if Thomas has an opinion on it or not, but's its incredibly weird regardless.

Shitting on thomas & co, current & past, employees for breathing. there's a new blog going around mentioning how they "hate brei" bcuz she "always starts drama" and the drama that they're talking about is her getting laid off... like. thats not drama, i think an artist is allowed to speak about their experiences with a certain job.

I feel like certain TSS critical fans have such an unrealistic view on creators, in the same way certain non-critical fans do. where non-critical fans think he shouldn't be held accountable for anything that he does, critical fans think every single thing he does is inherently evil or whatever.

"thomas shouldn't be attacking people in his twitter replies" this is an inherently true statement, however there's certain things that really depend on what's happening.

What is this person saying under thomas' posts? Who is saying it? How is thomas reacting specifically?

someone who comments unhelpful & rude ass comments underneath thomas' posts, such as infantalising him by telling him "thomas, thomathy, my sweet child, learn how to wear a skirt!!!" does in fact deserve some heat back because that's fucking weird. telling thomas advice on how to pose for a photoshoot is also probably fucking weird. but a child (or even an adult) commenting how much they miss sanders sides because it's been 4 years? that's fine and deserves a lot more compassion than thomas gives them.

& then you see how some people dm him about certain things or comment on his posts about it, when none of it is warranted. yes it's fucking weird for you to dm him, a REAL HUMAN BEING, and tell him to "hurry up and finish the fucking video"!!!! but its ALSO weird for him to post your username publically knowing how big his fanbase is and knowing how they will react.

im sorry but some fans are, in fact, fucking rude ass cunts. & thomas is allowed to tell you to fuck off. but its important to know when thomas is allowed to do that and when some fans are not being rude ass cunts. thats the point of critical thinking.

and there is some entitlement within the critical side of the community. yes thomas does owe his fans things, no he doesn't owe you certain things.

it's not surprising that he gives sasi upsets on his patreon, it's almost like that's what the point of a patreon is. but he does owe those patreon users something, since they are paying him Money For promised content that never comes.

it's not surprising that he got upset you provided unwanted critique on how he's posing? in a photoshoot? and then didnt... "credit you for the advice" ... thats not exactly how advice works. he does not owe you that. But it is weird how he does take from fan creation and headcanons. after Joan (& thomas, im pretty sure) talked about how they don't like reading fanfiction because they don't want to steal from fans, only to go on and make logan's eyes orange.

(note: i do not know what that user's advice even was, since they never go in depth about it. so maybe it was warranted some credit and not a rude response, but i have no idea so I am going off what I know.)

A lot of fans, again on both sides of the community, think it's a very black & white situation. if one thing applies then everything else does to, when in actuality like .... situations are more complex than you guys expect.

sometimes there's just not a lot of nuance or fucking thinking that goes into some of these takes, and it's one of the reasons I dislike looking at TSS critical blogs now. its why i dislike the concept of a "critical discord server", because no one here can use critical thinking.

i want nuanced, intriguing takes and criticism. not random fucking baseless hate just because you want to shit on him. its annoyingggg!!!

If you asked Virgil whether he enjoyed getting up at six in the morning to be at a job he hated he would just glare at you until you went away. However this job was essential to his brother going to college, so Virgil didn’t complain. Plus the trades he got were usually pretty good, even if he didn’t get first pick. 5 trade goods every successful air ride was really good all things considered. Better than daily trades, even if some flights did take all day to get to their destination and back.

His job was also essential to help his brother trade for college. Due to how hard it was for them to get  the parts to trade, Thomas only took two classes a semester, but that was still thirty mechanical pieces they needed to get so he could attend. Fourty if Thomas was to get books with them. Virgil was just thankful that the school food was measured in weight instead of amount of a specific item. He at least could trust that thomas would eat if he had two pounds of materials on him.

Still, getting up at six only to work until almost midnight some nights made him slightly wish that he got more items than 5 per trip. It was extremely taxing and he hated heights. Not to mention the amount of passengers that did not like to listen when he said they’d get their luggage back. Although, Virgil was always glad when inspection time came around, as it was a day where he only got 5 items, but he was essentially on the ground the whole day.

Each airship in the Butterfly Compass had one team that ran it, with backups just in case someone wasn’t there. They each had designated stopping and loading stations along with routes that they weren’t allowed to change. There were of course, emergency stops along each way, but Virgil had never had to use one of them before. His crew consisted of him, Logan, Remus, Emmet, and Emile. Logan and Emmet were in charge of driving, Emile catered to the passengers as best he could, and Remus was on septic tank duty at each stop. Which he was weirdly happy about in Virgil’s opinion, but he couldn’t complain. He loaded boxes, and luggage onto the airship along with spot cleaning between each stop. There was an official cleaning crew that came in at the end of shifts and deep cleaned everything, but other than that he and Remus were the only sanitation for their specific airship. Overall it was a good gig, the amount of goods and the variety he got were amazing compared to most places. And he was comfortable living in his apartment.

Still, he couldn’t help but yearn for more, yearn for a better living space; somewhere he could comfortably have his sewing area instead of it being cramped, yearn for a bedroom slightly larger with walls that weren’t so thin; tired of attempting to rest when his neighbors wouldn’t shut up, yearn for his brother to comfortably afford college without having to struggle through a horrible job that was often taken for granted. He might not like the fact that his brother was learning how to manipulate aether, a dangerous mystical energy, but he would support Thomas in what he wanted to do.

Which really meant he should get up right now. Ditching his onesie and hoodie for his work uniform, Virgil started his workday. Walking out, Virgil noticed Thomas asleep on one of the contractions he was supposed to be manipulating with aether.

“Thomathy! Wake up! You’ve gotta get to school soon, and I can’t wake you up later today!” Snickering a bit as Thomas attempted to swat in the direction of Virgil’s voice, he walked over to his brother and slowly shook him awake, “C’mon, you’ve got school, I didn’t trade in that silk last week for you to skip!”

“Whatever, daaad.” Thomas replied, stretching before standing up. It always annoyed Virgil that Thomas was taller than him, despite that, Virgil could still lift his brother up if he tried to. After all, he wasn’t hired to place cargo on airships for being weak, although he had surprised the manager when he was hired as his stature made it so no one expected him to be able to carry heavy things.Which was fair, he wasn’t exactly tall or buff, but he still wished people wouldn’t underestimate him because of how he looks.

Still, he wanted things to better. For him and his brother. Having moved from the countryside to the city had been a brutal but necessary change after their parents’ death, a terrible accident. Virgil hadn’t been at the house when it had happened, he’d been off fixing things at the workshop, but Thomas had and Virgil wished he had been there in Thomas’s stead. Of course, there were some positive things that happened with the move, Virgil’s paperwork to change his name had officially been pushed through. It had only taken three months to get the local government to officialize it. But that did mean that he didn’t have to go by his old one. He is also somewhat certain that his name change greatly improved him getting a job which wasn’t great, but it did mean that Thomas could go to college.

After watching his brother lazily wake up, Virgil went on his way to work, taking the bus to the nearest stop. Still nearly a mile away, but Virgil could walk that distance with some ease. Entering through the doors, he watched as Remus caught his eye and perked up.

“Virgil!!!” The lavatory cleaner screeched, and Virgil was so glad that it was too early for anyone to be there yet, “what are you up to today?”

“Work,” Virgil replied, raising one eyebrow up at the taller man. “Why are you asking?”

“Aww, so you’re not part of some plot to destroy the government? Make things easier for us folks at the bottom of the food pyramid?”

“When would I have the time? Anyways, talk like that is going to get us in trouble. We’ve got to meet up with Logan and the others.”

“Boo, you’re no fun!” Remus sneered lightheardedly, before patting Virgil on the back and steering them towards their airship. Usually Virgil would freak out at this, but because Remus already knew he was slightly different than the rest of them, he was just wondering what types of goods he would get today. Food and mechanical trinkets were always the first to go, along with most valuable items. However, there were usually things that were worth a few bits of meat or metal scraps themselves. And Virgil,  with his time working in his family’s workshop and with the equipment there, knew a thing or two about how to make metal scraps into mechanical parts. He did wish he could have been a proper tinkerer, but at the time it hadn’t been an available option. Either way, reminiscing about his wants would get him nowhere, so Virgil pulled himself to the present and kept walking to his airship.

“Ah, you two are considerably early,” Logan, the pilot of the aircraft stated, not used to either of them being so early. Especially since their services weren’t necessary for prepping the airship to fly.

“I’m hoping if I’m early I’ll have a good day.”

“I’m hoping the airship blows up!”

“While I do not care for your superstitions, nor your friend’s semantics, I suppose I can at least understand your motivations Virgil.” Logan adjusted his tie, before walking towards the loading dock, “well, since you two are here, you might as well accompany me in the general preservation methods we use to ensure the safety of everyone who boards today.”

Internally groaning, and ignoring how his stomach twisted at the thought of entering the aircraft, Virgil followed Logan onto the airship and helped inspect the area.

The airship was a neat craft, all things considered. Comfortably big and spacious, having enough space to hold up to fifty passengers at a time and three layers. The Loading dock being the upmost layer, while it offered a nice view, it was also the most dangerous layer. No one was allowed to stand on it, and were always quickly ushered to the second layer. This layer had fifty seats on it, all of them pretty roomy, while taller people were still cramped, Virgil could move around this area pretty easily. Up front was sanctioned off, and was where Logan drove the airship. The third layer was where the luggage went and was employees only. The crew had a breakroom in there, a place to rest without being in the way.

Virgil and Remus were always in the break room the most, as most of their duties were for when they were off the aircraft and they were of little to no use while it was in the air. Emile hopped in every once in a while, when he wasn’t being summoned by the passengers, and Emmet and Logan barely ever went into the breakroom at all as both of them always had to be there to pilot the shape on the slight chance that something wrong happened. They only tended to look in the crew room before and in between flights.

Inspecting the rooms, Virgil noticed a scrap piece of metal in the middle aisle of the airship. Going to pick it up, he realized that it wasn’t part of the ship, the metal used on it wasn’t the same quality as the scrap.

“Hey, Logan, do you know what this is?”

Logan walked over to where Virgil was, and looked at it. “Ah, it’s part of a tool of some sort, however based on how this broke off I’d say it would be nearly impossible to find a use for it. Nothing that would have been used to build the airship, but there is a probability that the cleaning crew accidentally broke something in here. Search for any sign of imperfection.”

“Got it,” Virgil replied, doing his best not to roll his eyes at the information he had been able to figure out for himself. “What do you want me to do with it?”

“Ah… tossing it out would statistically be the best course of action in this scenario.”

“Alright.” When Logan had walked away, Virgil pocketed the piece. If it was a scrap piece of metal then no one would care for it going missing, and he was sure he could do something with it, make it a tiny machine to give to the college for his brother’s college fund.

1. anon you're absolutely right and thank you for introducing me to this masterpiece of a song

2. canon!Patton is only mildly concerned about his dark self's lack of moral codes, otherwise, they'd be pretty good friends

Virgil: I’m taking this spider home, I’m calling him Marcus Me, clutching my orange side: you’re naming him WHAT.

[loganslowdown4]

Does anyone know where this is from??

[beauty-and-passion]

I was thinking, what/who&why Sides should be afraid of?

Well, the answer is actually quite simple and it's Thomas Sanders himself. Why? Because, to put it bluntly, Thomas Sanders is the only one who is actually able to end them all.

Sure, the Sides have a lot of power over Thomas: they can influence him in the decision-making process - and they can even have a physical influence, like Virgil.

And sure, their influence is generally very strong - but it's not even comparable to the kind of power Thomas has over them.

Thomas has been able to split his Creativity into two Sides. He's the one who hid four Sides - not one or two, but FOUR - into his mind for 30 years. If Thomas doesn't want to see a Side, the Side is forced to leave.

This is real power. And it's potentially very dangerous, because if Thomas makes a life-changing decision, all of his Sides would go down with him. And if, in the most cases, this just means a great change in their lives, in the worst cases it can mean ending their lives.

To put it bluntly, Thomas is the only one who is able to hold a knife, kill himself and effectively kill all of his Sides at the same time. They can fight and protest - and even win against him. But this proves how powerful he actually is. Remus can throw shurikens all around and not do the slightest harm, but when Thomas got hit by the computer during AA-part 1, Logan rubbed his head along with him - thus proving that Thomas is the only one able to truly harm his Sides.

So, yes, Thomas is very powerful over his Sides. But Thomas is also a nice, wonderful bean, so they can be sure that nothing too terrible will happen. Well, except for some psychological stress and verbal fights XD
