#incorrect ts quotes

I love the moment in DwIT when Thomas is trying to explain himself and the following exchange happens;

Thomas: “Virgil, I don’t want to do what he says!”

Virgil: “You mean you don’t want to act on what you think!”

Logan: “Virgil, enough.”

Remus: “Ugh, here we go, Virgil. Looks like Logan has reached his ‘listening to others’ limit for the day!”

I love this so much because it’s obvious that Remus is trying to separate Virgil from the others by playing to their weaknesses. Logan often doesn’t listen to the others, and even though in this situation he’s right, Virgil is still frustrated by him. He plays to Virgils weaknesses often. Like, when Logan reveals that Virgil is partially at fault for Thomas being so distraught and getting no sleep, Remus says, “Despite his best efforts, Virgil could never stop being the bad guy!” Which effectively makes Virgil feel at fault.

Did you notice how quiet and reserved Virgil is that whole video? How defensive he becomes at times? How many times you see a shot of him, standing silently and scowling at Remus?

(This is such an old draft I wrote but I never post on this blog and I feel like this can’t stay in the drafts. Clearly I was going feral over this for some reason.)

Hi I just spent a really long time working on a post about Romans behaviour in SVS2 and it didn’t save so now I’m either going to rewrite the whole thing (it was a two parter) or jump off a building. Stay tuned.
