Roman: "Hey! That isn't a bad idea, you guys! Cute, fun, and efficient! What do you think?"
Deceit: "... I don't want to do that."
Roman: "Oh. Any explanation as to why not?"
Deceit: "It just seems kind of... juvenile. I'm an adult, I don't need to write a note."
Remus: "Are you sure about that? You literally can't even say the words 'I wanna fuck you' without bursting a blood vessel! It's four words! I'm not sure you're in a position to be stubborn here."
Deceit: "I can and will be stubborn!"
Roman: "-sigh- Okay, fine. No letter."
Remus: "Ooh! Maybe you can say it in another language!"
Deceit: "I don't know any other languages."
Remus: "Roman can teach you Spanish! Or I could teach you Klingonese!"
Deceit: "I really don't think that would help..."
Roman: "Uhhh, would singing it work? Is that a thing?"
Deceit: "Hmm... I don't actually know."
Remus: "-gasp- DO IT, DO IT, DO IT, DO IT-"
Roman: "Remus, come on! Chanting is childish and immature and DO IT, DO IT, DO IT, DO IT-"
Deceit: "Enough! Both of you!... I'll 'try it' I guess."
Remus: "AWWW FUCK YEAH!"
Roman: "Let me set up some background music~"
Remus: "I call being Patton this time!"
Deceit: "Um... what should I sing?"
Roman: "Just sing about what you're feeling!"
Deceit: "What i'm feeling?"
Remus: "I know that feelings are a foreign concept to you but just try to pretend!"
Patton?: "Deceit! It is so nice to see you today! I brought some brownies for us to share! Come sit down! I remember you said you wanted to talk to me about something?"
Deceit: "Oh... Okay, sure. Yes, I would like to talk to you about something..."
Patton?: ".........."
Deceit: "..........."
Patton?: "Um... well don't leave me hangin'! No need to be shy, just say what you're thinking."
Deceit: "Okay... I uh... I think that... we need to stop talking indefinitely!"
Roman: "Ugh, Deceit, come on-"
Deceit: "N-no, wait, i'm sorry! I didn't mean to say that. I meant to say that... I think that you're..."
Roman: "Just spit it out!"
Deceit: "-yyyyyes!"
Roman: "You think that I'm yes?"
Deceit: "No! Er, yes? I don't know."
Remus: "Cuuuut! This is getting kind of hard to watch, even for me..."
Roman: "Well, okay! That's a start! Granted, a really terrible one but it's a start."
Remus: "I don't know if that was better or worse than the last three, honestly."
Roman: "I mean jeez, I know that you're shy but this is getting a bit ridicul-"
Deceit: "Okay! It was bad! I get it! God, this is just... a waste of time! I already knew this wouldn't work, why am I so stupid?"
Remus: "Nonono, Deceit! Come on, don't go! We can try again!"
Deceit: "No! Scenario over! This was the final nail in the coffin!"
Roman: "Final nail? We just started! All you have to do is tell him the truth!"
Deceit: "I- I CA-... CAN-... argh! Just leave it alone!"
Remus: "-gasp- Ohhhh my god, I get it now! This is because that weird thing you do isn't it! Is that why you've been acting so defensive?"
Roman: "Wait, what? What weird thing?"
Remus: "Uhhh..."
Deceit: "...-sigh- Might as well tell him. I can't seem to hide it for the life of me."
Remus: "Okay! It's his lying impulse thing. Sometimes when he's threatened, he can't force himself to tell the truth about stuff, even when he wants to! I mean shit, dude nearly threw up every time he tried to imply that he cared about us!"
Deceit: "Remus!"
Remus: "What?! You did!"
Deceit: "Look, it's... hard to make my mouth say the words I want it to. For stuff like this, I mean. Heck, it's the reason I keep a journal in the first place, just to write down what I know I can't say."
Remus: "Well that and you're a dork."
Deceit: "Even speaking NORMALLY takes an effort sometimes but... being vulnerable like this? I've never had to do that before. I haven't- ugh, I HAVE been trying harder ever since Patton and I started talking but... I just can't do it, okay?... If I can't even tell him the truth about this then... what's the point?"
Roman: "Deceit, don't be so hard on yourself! Maybe speaking your mind is more difficult for you than most but so what?! That doesn't mean that you're not worthy of love!"
Deceit: "Hmph. You didn't seem to think that when you were chewing me out for it earlier."
Roman: "Huh?"
Deceit: "All of this giving him the cold shoulder and insisting i'm happy as friends!... I've been... I've been trying to confess for weeks, okay?! That's what happens when I try! I just start lying!"
Remus: "What?! You told us you weren't ever planning on confessing! You even wrote it in your journal!"
Deceit: "I changed my mind! I wasn't- Argh, I WAS lying to you, obviously!"
Roman: "We can't help you if you aren't honest with us, Deceit. If you knew this was a problem why didn't you say anything?"
Deceit: "I don't know... I just... I wanted to do this normally. Speaking confidently without relying on lying to protect myself... Why do you think i've been letting you two push me around all day? I thought... I thought that maybe it'd finally work out this time... -sigh- instead, all i've done is gone and humiliate myself."
Roman: "Deceit, i'm so sorry. We... never meant to make you feel humiliated over something you couldn't help. I just thought you got flustered easily is all! Apologies aside however, I'm glad you told us, because now we know what angle to work from here."
Deceit: "You're... You're still going to help me? After I haven't- hhhaven't-.... After I HAVE been lying to you all day?"
Roman: "Of course! While lying isn't my favorite thing in the world, helping true love to blossom is! Plus... you're my friend too."
Deceit: "....."
Remus: "M'kay, this is some cavity inducing shit but maybe we should get back to the drawing board on this one."
Roman: "Agreed! Let's ditch the stage for now! We'll just focus on finding a way for Deceit to speak his mind properly!"
Roman: "Okay, let me just set the stage here! Give me a moment to get into character please!"
Deceit: "I've officially lost control over my life so take as long as you need."
Remus: "Ya know guys, we could always protest about Roman being Patton. Everyone spam the inbox with your letters telling us why you believe I should've been picked for the role."
Deceit: "Please don't do that. Remus, quit being a baby."
Deceit: "He's... As in romantically Interested? Are you sure??"
Roman: "YES, even though you've been shooting yourself in the foot repeatedly! I mean gee manetti from the way Patton was describing you even I thought you didn't like him! You're just shutting yourself down before you've even tried!"
Deceit: "That's a pretty overdramatic interpretation of it!"
Remus: "Have you ever heard yourself speak? You're the most dramatic bitch i've ever met and i've met Roman!"
Roman: "Preach it!"
Deceit: "I've just been making sure that there's no pressure!"
Roman: "Canceling dates?"
Deceit: "T-they're not dates."
Roman: "Giving Patton the cold shoulder on said dates?"
Deceit: "I... never intended to do that."
Roman: "Insisting that you're 'hAPpY aS FRieNdS'?"
Deceit: "Because I AM happy as friends!"
Roman: "Why are you lying?!"
Deceit: "Why can't you get out of my business!?"
Remus: "Girls, girls, you're both pretty! Now are we going to figure out how to fix Deceit's little fucky wucky or what?"
Deceit: "I don't need any help! I... I am perfectly capable of communicating!"
Remus: "Uh huh, then what're you gonna say?"
Deceit: "Well I don't know right now! I need time to think!
Roman: "OOH! Let's roleplay! Dibs on Patton!"
Remus: "Boo, you whore! I get to be the director then!"
Deceit: "Good choice, being the director is fun. We could totally switch if you wa-"
Roman: "Nope, fun exercise time! No getting out of it!"
Roman: "Ugh, what now? The plot is moving at a snail's pace already!!"
Remus: "We just hit 1,000 followers! Now, I might be horny for some hot plot action but i'm even hornier for all you beautiful people out there following this blog!"
Roman: "Ew, even when you're trying to thank the followers you're disgusting!"
Remus: "What my horribly smelly and ungrateful brother MEANS to say is thank you!"
Roman: "Well yes, obviously i'm grateful! Thank you all so much for your continued support of this blog! We promise that as soon as the artist gets out of her funk we'll update so fast it'll make your heads spin!"
Remus: "They'll spin so fast that your necks will snap violently!"
Roman: "Anyways, we love you guys! More updates coming soon!"
Remus: "Remember to SMASH that follow button, SMASH that like button, and SMASH that turn on post notifications button to join the giveaway!"
Roman: "Wha? Giveaway? We're not doing a giveaway."
Remus: "-scoff- Well they didn't know that now did they? I'm just saying it works more often than you'd think!"
Roman: "Okay, no giveaway! Remus, quit trying to scam our followers!"
Remus: "And so I says to the guy, 'sewer?! I hardly know 'er!' BWAHAHAHA! It's funny because i'm gay!"
Deceit: "Hehehe"
Roman: "GENTLEMEN!! I have acquired the goodest of news!
Deceit: "Did you also acquire the goodest of grammar?"
Roman: "Always a pleasure to see you, Deceit. ANYWAYS! Code Magenta is a go! I repeat, Code Magenta is! A! Go!"
Remus: "AWWWWW SHIIIIT! GIMME SOME FIVE, BROTHER!"
Deceit: "I feel like i'm going to regret asking but what is a Code Magenta?"
Remus: "A one way ticket to down to FunkyTown™, courtesy of the Heartthrob Creativisquad!"
Deceit: "Okay, that literally means nothing to me. Roman??"
Roman: "Excuse my brother, what he means to say is that thanks to us, you're going to spend eternity in a fantastical world of your heart's deepest desires!
Deceit: "-sigh- Why did I assume you would be better? Can one of you blabbering fools PLEASE tell me why you're dancing violently and yelling?"
Roman: "Hey so, funny question but... Would you ever... kiss Deceit? Like on his lips?"
Patton: "Why's this coming up all of a sudden, kiddo?"
Roman: "Errrrrrrr.... Well I was just wondering becauuuuuseee blue and yellow are like.... primary colors? Ya know?"
Patton: "Now I know i'm confused a lot but I think this one takes the whole cake and caboodle."
Roman: "Blue and yellow make green, Patton! Therefore I was wondering if you want to kiss Deceit on his lips! It makes perfect sense if you think about it!"
Patton: Hmm... Well when you put it like that... Sure! I'm sure Deceit is a very nice kisser!
Roman: hhhHHPATTON i'm trying to be patient here but you're being irritatingly clueless!
Patton: "Well then clue me in here ya silly goose! Your old man can't read your mind ya know!"
Roman: "I'm asking if you would like to be in a romantic relationship with Deceit."
Patton: "Oh... um... That's a difficult question."
Roman: "How so?"
Patton: "I admit i've thought about it but... I don't think Deceit LIKE likes me, kiddo."
Roman: ".... What on earth gave you THAT impression?"
Patton: "He's been acting very strange lately and... I think I might've overwhelmed him."
Roman: "You what now?"
Patton: "He keeps cancelling our meetings without giving me a reason why, he's been extremely quiet whenever we do talk, and he keeps reassuring me that he's 'happy as friends'. I uh... I think I made him uncomfortable by advancing so quickly."
Roman: "Wow... He uh... He's really good at self sabotage isn't he?"
Patton: "What do you mean?"
Roman: "Errr, I mean that you're such a catch Patton! Why wouldn't he wanna date you?! You're the cutest little gumdrop this side of the Thomas-sphere!"
Patton: "Oh stop it you, i'm gonna turn redder than that sash of yours!"
Roman: "Well! I'm gonna go! And! Do nothing in particular! Away from this current spot!"
Patton: "Okay kiddo i'll be out here being a cool dad! Cellular message me on your dingle hopper if you need something!"
Remus: "Oh quit being such a baby! It could be a lot worse. You could get stabbed-"
"catch on fire-"
"get beheaded, spontaneously combu-"
Deceit: "PLEASE don't explode in here, it was traumatizing enough the first time."
Remus: -scoff- "Well what am I supposed to do with all of this TNT then?"
Deceit: ...
Remus: "Ugh, okay fine, you win. I have been oppressed by society once again! My voice has been drowned by all you sheeple, wanting to 'not see spontaneous combustion' because it's 'horrifying' and 'disgusting'. Well if any of you prudes are listening let me tell you, I-"
Deceit: "GOD! OKAY! You're right, Remus! Liking Patton isn't nearly as bad as listening to you talk! Just shut up, for my own sanity!"
Remus: "There you go! That's the grumpy snake I know! I mean finally, I was getting bored of you sitting around moping like a lil bitch."
Deceit: "..."
Remus: "Okay, so how do you want to go about confessing? A romantic dinner? A grand gesture? OOH OOH, I KNOW! Hoooow about, you just sprawl out butt naked on the table and when he shows up you-"
Deceit: "NO! No to everything about this!"
Remus: "Sheesh! Okay fine, we don't have to do the naked thing."
Deceit: "Not just that! The whole thing! I'm not 'confessing' anything! Please, just don't ruin this for me!"
Remus: "How am I ruining anything??? I'm helping you two come together in a beautiful, sexy romance!"
Deceit: -Long sigh- "Look, I know you think you're 'helping' me but you're doing it in a very unhelpful way."
Remus: "What, so helping is now unhelpful all of a sudden? Sounds contradictory to me, boo."
Deceit: "You stole from me, read my private journal, told people about said journal, barged into my room to force me to do something I don't want to do, and you're asking me why that isn't helpful?"
Remus: "But you... want to be with Patton??? I don't get it."
Deceit: "Yes Remus, I do want to be with Patton. However, that's a choice I get to make, not you."
Remus: "WHA-"
Deceit: "Do I need to give you the empathy speech again?"
Remus: "No! Please, anything but that! The last one was so long I woulda killed myself if the opportunity presented itself!"
Deceit: "Then?"
Remus: "Uuurrghrhhhrg, FINE, i'll tell Roman to abort the boning mission..."
Deceit: "The what mission? What's Roman doing?"
Remus: "Some B plot garbage, we'll find out next post."
Roman: Heyyyyyyy, Patton-cake! Let's have a chat for goodness sake!
Patton: What's wrong?
Roman: Wha- why do you automatically assume something's wrong?!
Patton: Because you only start weirdly rhyming when you're nervous about something.
Roman: I don't rhyme weirdly! What a misinformed turn upon which you've steered me!
Patton: Uh huh... Why don't you sit down with me for a sec? Do you want a cookie?
Roman: .... Yes, please.
Patton: Feel better?
Roman: Yeah. I uh... I wanted to ask you something.
Patton: Of course! You can tell me anything!
Roman: Have you... Have you been talking with Deceit?
Patton: Oh uh, yeah! For the past couple of months actually.
Roman: ... Oh.
Patton: Was that what you wanted to ask me?
Roman: Well yeah, I just... I don't know why you didn't tell me is all?
Patton: Oh! Kiddo, I wasn't trying to exclude you! I've just never mentioned it I suppose. I would've said something sooner if I knew you'd be so nervous to ask me!
Roman: ... Are you two... close?
Patton: Well, I would consider him a friend, yes.
Roman: Yeah but like... a really really good friend?
Patton: Sure! He's much nicer to be around when he's not working. I could always ask him if you could come along to our next meeting! He's been teaching me chess and let me tell ya it is a real hoot and a half! My favorite ones are the little horsies.
Roman: You sure you wouldn't like a little alone time with him? A little more... intimate that way wouldn't you say?
Patton: Nah, the more the merrier in my opinion! We always hang out just the two of us.
Remus: Hi i'm Remus Sanders and welcome to Jackass!
Remus: WHAT'S UP FUCKER!
Deceit: hOLY-
Remus: LOOK WHAT I'VE GOOOOT~
Deceit: What the?!- Remus, how did you even get that?! I've had it with me all day!
Remus: Oh really? Have you looked inside it lately?
Deceit: ...............
Deceit: EUGH! That is vulgar! How did you even draw that in so much detail!?
Remus: Just naturally gifted~
Deceit: You are so UNBELIEVABLY dead, do you hear me?! How much of that did you read?!
Remus: Ohhhhh, bitch. The. Whole. Thing.
Deceit: Remus, I had extremely personal things written in that journal!-
Remus: Diary.
Deceit: JOURNAL! And you once again you've completely disregard anyone's feelings but your own! You're childish, self serving, insensitive and worst of all you-
Remus: So when're you gonna tell Patton you lovvvvvveeee him?~
Deceit: Ghrk!-
Remus: Awwww you're all embarrassed! That's so cute! Let me get a picture!
Deceit: Remus. I don't know what you're talking about and frankly it does not concern you in the slightest. Ask me again and so help me I will silence you.
Remus: -Sighhhhh- Why are you always so defensive? It's not a bad thing! Besides, what if he likes you back?
Deceit: He doesn't.
Remus: -scoff- And just how do you know that?
Deceit: He just doesn't. Okay? End of story.
Remus: Well Roman is off getting confirmation to prove you wrong RIGHT NOW! So there!
Deceit: Wha- You TOLD Roman?! Why?!
Remus: He wanted to help!
Deceit: -groaning-
Remus: Oh don't be like that! If it's any consolation, the internet thinks he likes you too!
Hi! Not an update but there is one coming soon! I have it written out i've just been doing school stuff lately. Thought i'd leave a commission sheet in case anyone is interested :)
Roman: I don't think Patton even has one. I'm not really sure why you all assume that he does? I mean, it would be convenient but not very satisfying in a narrative sense.
Remus: Yeah, only Deceit would do something as nerdy as write in a diary anyways.
Remus: UGH you're all so annoying with all of this 'proof' business. I have never been wrong about anything in my entire life.
Roman: Uhh-
Remus: BESIDES! Even if Patton didn't like Deceit (which is scientifically impossible) we still need to help Deceit come to terms with his feelings! I mean look at this shit! He's more emotionally constipated than Logic!
Roman: Didn't the front of the journal say Deceit would hurt you if he found out you had read it?
Remus: Pshhh, he's threatened me a million times and not once has he ever followed through on it!
Roman: Well do I get a say? Because I vote for proof.
Remus: WHA- EU TU, ROMAN?!
Roman: There are two of us you ding bat! We can do both of our things at the same time!
Remus: Oh yeah! Sometimes I still forget!
Roman: -Sigh- So we doing this?
Remus: YES! OPERATION: GET PATTON AND DECEIT TO BONE IS A GO!
Roman: No that's not what i'm saying at all! H-he doesn't need my permission! I just!-
Roman: I'm.... not trying to overreact I just thought Patton would have... We always tell each other things... I... I dunno...
Remus: ....
Remus: Hey, lay off of him for a minute would ya?! Roman being or not being dramatic is not what's important here! The important thing is making a game plan that leads to Patton and Deceit's eternal happiness and many a boning!
Roman: EW! Say the word boning again and i'm leaving!!
Remus: OH would you look at that? Everyone here agrees that you're a dumb bitch, Roman!! And that you like drinking dumb bitch juice! And that you have a dumb bitch face! And-
Roman: Okay yeah sure whatever, are we going to ignore the fact that Patton has been having meetings with Deceit without my knowledge for like???? ALMOST EIGHT MONTHS???
Remus: Yeah, I didn't know either but it doesn't surprise me because Deceit tells me jack shit.
Roman: Do you think maybe?? Deceit was lying or something??
Remus: He wouldn't write this kind of stuff for no reason. Trust me. Dude here is more prideful than a king cobra.
Roman: I don't know why Patton wouldn't tell ME about something like that though! Does he not trust me?
Remus: Maybe he thought you'd react like an over dramatic doo doo baby like you're doing right now.
