#dealing with intrusive thoughts

[loganslowdown4]

*slaps forehead* Why has it taken me nearly 4 years to realize Patton used Just Like Heaven because he unconsciously compared it to Thomas and Remus?

The movie is literally about a man trying to ignore his problems (the ‘ghost’) until she goes away and it just keeps getting worse, but in fact she stops being a ‘problem’ when he finally starts to talk to and listen to her. Like Thomas and Remus they *gestures to all of them* they are the SAME

My brain did that thing again. Just when I thought I’ve found all the meanings in Sanders Sides A NEW LAYER EMERGES

cannot express how important remus sanders was to me. dealing with intrusive thoughts came out right around the time where my intrusive thoughts were reaching what i consider to be extreme proportions and eventually causing me to self harm over them, and seeing for the First Time thoughts that you don't want to be having in not only a morally neutral perspective but also as just a silly, stupid, goofy thing to have was so game changing for me at the time. sanders sides ily forever

party people with intrusive thoughts get the panic that thomas had abt being a bad person.

okay. but actually. let’s talk about the 41 minutes and 17 seconds of pure perfect writing that “dealing with intrusive thoughts” (or for the purposes of this post i’ve dubbed it dwit) truly is.

(seriously could write a video essay about this, but for the purposes of now i’ll let this remain a tumblr post)

tw: i talk about intrusive thoughts a lot, but there’s nothing graphic in here.

dwit is like a beacon of hope for anyone who was struggled with intrusive thoughts. i saw on instagram a quote that stated “it’s hard to trust yourself when you have unwanted intrusive thoughts.” and i feel like thomas takes that and shoves it right back in our faces with this video.

through many episodes of sander sides there is a question of morality. “is thomas a good person?” is a constant question and debate. the idea of having intrusive thoughts leads to a spiral for both patton and thomas as well as worrying from virgil.

the debate is continued when it is revealed through flashbacks that thomas dreamt of killing his brother. Remus (a character representing both thomas’ intrusive thoughts and the dark side of his creativity) leads to patton worrying that thomas’ morality is at stake because of this dream.

what makes this episode in particular so perfectly written is that logan is able to pin point the doubt and showcase to both thomas and the veiwers that these thoughts are just thoughts as long as you don’t act on them. it’s not a fault of thomas for having these thoughts, in fact many people struggle with them, seeing them as horrible things. many people who struggle with intrusive thoughts (including me) have wondered or thought that they are a bad person for experiencing them.

while both virgil and patton work to fear remus, logan acts as an anchor of acceptance and logan is able to bring out logic while also still showing empathy. this episode is able to function as a source of character development for logan.

the video is a perfect way for thomas to show that these thoughts don’t make you this horrible person because they aren’t things you want to think about. intrusive thoughts are horrible and as logan points out, as long as they continue to scare you, they are not a threat.

this brings me back to this quote i started with. the idea of trusting yourself when you have these intrusive thoughts can be scary. but logan is able to show both thomas and the audience that you only create that distrust if you let the fear of them take over.

in those 41 minutes and 17 seconds thomas sanders with the help of his character logan is able to express that while it’s okay to be afraid of intrusive thoughts you cannot let them dictate your moral standing.

idk i’m just yapping. this is a good ass episode. thanks logan for being the best. i’m gonna go take a nap now.

what if Remus revealed his name so early on because he thought if he didn't everyone would just call him "bad creativity" or "Roman's evil twin", and he didn't want another reminder of how much Thomas and the other sides hated him?

So we all know how Virgils eye shadow changes depending on his mood, but has anyone noticed how Remus’s changes based on which side he’s messing with?

Cause he here is for the majority of Dealing With Intrusive Thoughts

Purple eyes because he’s mostly messing with Virgil

Then for a couple seconds while directing his attention to Logan fully, they are now blue

They are yet again blue for the entirety of Working Through Intrusive Thoughts

I dunno, just something interesting. I wanna know if this could mean we could see red for Roman or something if this is what that means

Vocal hallucinations are dog shit.

Self-harm is a bitch.

But at least it keeps voices at low volume.

Amen.

Do you guys ever think about what this means exactly?

Like

How could Virgil NOT be boring, according to Remus?

As in

Why Virgil never has full blown panic attacks, pananoia, tempest tongue etc etc anymore?? 👀👀

Do you guys ever think about how Virgil was a dark side…?

#I once wrote a whole essay about what Virgil’s ultimate role in all this was #it probably needs to be updated but I’m debating rewriting it #thomas sanders #sanders sides #sander sides #ts virgil #Virgil sanders #Remus sanders #ts remus #dealing with intrusive thoughts #dwit #ts dwit #ts theories #ts theory #ts predictions

[no-u-3d]

I just realized/remembered that I kinda predicted Remus. Basically a year or so before Remus’s first appearance I had decided to make my own sides, and I was like ok obviously they’re going to be different than Thomas’s because we’re different people. so I had logic, intelligence, creativity, a few others I don’t remember, and one that was my mental illness/intrusive thoughts. who was messy, and chaotic, and silly. anyway this was before I figured out I was trans and her name was Barbra and she wore badly but on lipstick and a hoodie.

dwit is the best episode of sanders sides

it has my second favorite in the whole series (the first being rhythm redux), we get a lil bit of virgil's demon voice (affectionate), it's remus' introduction video and i love mr intrusive thoughts, and it made me feel so much better about my own intrusive thoughts when it came out.

this video started me down the path of accepting my own intrusive thoughts as a part of me and i appreciate the video so so deeply <3

also remus' outfit is SO cool i love it so much
