Guys, gals and non binary pals, wanna share your predictions on this?
I predict that the next Sanders Asides is going to be either an episode with just the sides, without Thomas or maybe a flashback episode? Maybe. I mean, he did say it would be “a tad different”
I know that asides isn’t connected to the main plot but I want it to start off with Virgil waking up in his room. He checks his phone and goes “sh*t I overslept” then gets out of bed fast. He checks his phone to see that they recorded a video without him so he needs to find out what happened. First he runs into Remus who also has no clue what happened. Then he runs into the rest of the sides one by one who gives a flashback of their interpretation of the events. Afterwards Virgil can’t really make sense of it so he does his “you tried, you failed, let’s go to sleep” thing then takes a nap.
So my headcanon for character Thomas and by extension Patton is that he has mugs for various purposes. Because projecting is what we do around here.
Character Thomas: This one is the mug for hot coffee, that’s the one for iced coffee, this is the tea mug, this is the one for milk, and this one is the hot chocolate mug. Very important. Can’t mix them up.
Logan: But why? What is the difference between them?
Patton: I thought it was pretty clear, Logan.
Character Thomas: Yeah Logan. This is clearly the hot coffee mug.
Logan: But why?
Logan:You own more than 50 mugs. Why do you only use these five?
Character Thomas: *whispers* Because it’s the hot coffee mug.
Patton:*quietly* Hot coffee mug.
Logan:Thomas why are you crying? It’s only one broken mug, you have others!
Character Thomas and Patton, sobbing: But this was the hoy chocolate mug!
One time I purposely broke a mug then cried about it so this is the most relatable thing
New alignment chart is “thinks they’re smart and they’re right,” “thinks they’re smart and they’re wrong,” “thinks they’re dumb and they’re right,” “thinks they’re dumb and they’re wrong,” and “does not think.”
This is my take. I accept constructive criticism only. Thank you
The only suggestion I have is that Roman belongs dead center in the middle of that graph.
Roman was the hardest to place by far. And then I boiled his character down to “he’s a himbo who thinks highly of himself” and that lead to his position. But yeah, I see the middle making sense in a strange way too
I can’t tell if “they’re right” means being right about if they’re smart, or in a situation they’re correct. Either way it works
“Logan… what’s with you? You’re acting strange lately-”
“I don’t understand… why I’m not getting through to Thomas?! Can’t he see that what I’m trying to do is beneficial for all of us? He NEEDS to listen to me!”
As the gloves glide slowly over Janus’s skin, every finger and scale revealed, he suddenly feelssomethingagain. He feels seen and seen through and naked, and it is the best and the most frightening experience in a long time.
“See. Much better this way,” Patton says softly, his breath vibrating beneath Janus’s cheek. “Now, you can tell me what’s bothering you.”
The pathological lie is already on the tip of his tongue, ready to deny. But without his gloves Janus can’t spit it out. He just can’t.
And then there’s Patton.
He of all people.
Patton, who is as different from Janus in every way as one can be. Patton, who is loud and honest, and sunny and kind, who makes stupid dad-jokes and likes frogs. Patton, who has not the slightest idea what he is getting himself into when he takes off the yellow gloves. Patton, who is warm and firm and real under his fingertips. More than anything else, he is real. Not a lie.
Janus shakes his head, lips tingling and heart pounding. He is sure that Patton can feel the frantically vibrating heartbeat against his chest. Everything in Janus’s traitorous body yells at him that this moment might be the most important moment in his life. There’s no way to deny it. Not anymore.
