Lactose Intolerant.
Here, have another little ficlet partly inspired by @haysgrove 's Tummy Ache Agenda in which seasoned Tummy Ache Veteran Virgil helps out Roman after a run in with a bowl of cream of broccoli soup. (Takes place after My Negative Thinking)
Roman moaned and curled in a little tighter on himself, arms folded over his protesting stomach. So maybe the cream of broccoli had been a bad idea...
On the plus side, at least the bruising on his face was gone.
It meant he could bury his face further into his pillow and moan as dramatically as he liked. Even if he did sound like the spirit of drowned, disparaged Victorian child as Remus had told him a few minutes ago when he offered to bring Roman a plate of saltine crackers to settle his stomach.
In all reality, it wasn't necessarily that he was in pain exactly, just miserably bloated and horribly gassy.
It was very unbecoming of royalty.
There was another strange gurgling sound, like a drowning eel or something and Roman winced at the cramping feeling that decided to make itself known, reminding that he was, in fact, in some measure of pain.
He didn't even bother to raise his head at the light tapping on his door when it came, distracted and distressed as he was, and called out instead: "Do you have an appointment?"
To his surprise it was the Embodiment of Anxiety that poked his head through the door.
"I have tea?" He offered. "Logan said soup Morality made you would probably upset your stomach and I heard Remus saying he thought you were gonna- he said you didn't feel great, so I made some of the tea that- that Deceit usually makes me when my stomach's upset," Anxiety explained as he crossed the room and set the tea on Roman's nightstand.
"Oh. Th-thank you. That's...thoughtful of you," Roman stammered and started to push himself upright. He got half way there before his stomach protested both with a wave of cramps and loud gurgle. Roman grimaced and ducked his head, his face flushing red. "S-sorry, I'm not-"
But Anxiety waved him off. "Remus eat whole blocks of cream cheese like they're bananas, you're good. I brought this too." He pulled a hot water bottle from his hoodie pocket and offered it to the Prince. "It'll help the cramping."
Roman took it almost reverently. "Thank you," he said sincerely.
Anxiety shrugged, suddenly self-conscious. "You're welcome? Look, just...don't tell anyone, okay? This kinda thing isn't- Just take those dairy tablet things next time, okay? And if you start feeling nauseous lay on your left side." And with that he dropped though the floor, leaving behind a baffled Roman.

when my friend had to finally say:
“STOP EATING THE MAC N CHEESE DUDE YOURE LACTOSE INTOLERANT”

Imagine. Patton making potato soup, and serving it to everyone. It's Thanksgiving. Roman's lactose intolerant, and they are in the real world, with Thomas's friends around too. What happens?
Before or after Deceit revealing him?
Before, Roman eats it and the others roll their eyes, thinking he’s just being silly, and later he’s very ill. (This is probably when Deceit finds out. He wasn’t invited but he’s told Roman is ill, goes to check, and Roman can’t lie to him.)
After, Patton claims it’s lactose free, and has been really nice and sweet and apologetic to Roman, and everyone believes him. Then Deceit walks in, having been invited by Roman, and announces loudly that it’s a shame Patton used the last of the cream making that soup.

Road Trips and Missing Persons (Part 15)
Fandom: Sanders Sides
Relationships: Patton & Virgil, Virgil & Deceit, Logan & Patton, Emile & Remy, Roman & Remus & Janus
Characters: Patton, Virgil, Deceit, Remus, Roman, Logan, Emile, Remy
Summary: Patton was just getting groceries. The next thing he knew, there was a knife at his throat and he was an unwilling uber driver. Virgil’s on the run after the murder of his dad, and it’s not just his paranoia that’s telling him he’s being chased down. He has to get somewhere safe, somewhere he can trust, and all he has is a couple of stories from his dad and a name: “Green Bellow Foods and Dispensary.”
Notes: Secret Agents AU, knives, carjacking, kidnapping, murder mentioned, guns mentioned, pepper spray, blood mentioned, drugs mentioned, explosions, car crashes (more to be added)
This is a fic I’ve been writing on study breaks that you have probably all already seen at this point. I’ve affectionately named it the Goblin Brain Fic because it’s helping my brain actually get motivated for studying. I’ve slightly edited it for wording and grammar, but not for content from my previous posts. Feel free to send in asks to direct it because I’m not 100% sure where this is going and you can help decide if you feel so inclined! You can see the process I went through to build this at this link.

The next two hours were the most frustrating ones of Logan’s life. It seemed like the entire universe, or perhaps more accurately his entire family, was doing its best to make his life and job as stressful as possible.
He’d stepped away from his desk for less than one minute to make sure Darlene and Fredrick’s coms were set up to his specifications. He had them outfitted with what he would usually give to undercover agents. It was a constant feed of audio from their side and Logan could talk to them with a click of a button. It was on an entirely different frequency than anyone else used and, barring damage to the actual equipment itself, it should never go offline.
When he got back to his desk and checked his phone, he had a missed call and a text message from Patton. Of course. Of course, in the 30 seconds he is away from his desk, someone finally calls him back. He opened the text message. His first thought was, ‘Patton, you are lactose intolerant. Why are you buying so much cheese?!’ His second thought was that the string of emojis was unintelligible. What about a baby and a knife?! If he’d just bought cheese, why did he need to go get a burger, fries, and ice cream, and on that count, why more dairy?
He tried to call Patton back, but as he was beginning to expect at this point, there was no answer. Frustrated, he slammed his finger down on the end call button. ‘I have no idea what that means’ he texted him back. He set his phone back down on his desk after making absolutely sure his ringer was at full volume.
“Be sure to track all traffic updates in their path,” Logan said. The other people in the base snapped to attention, their fingers going to work at their keyboards. Then, he pushed the button on his desk. “Fredrick?” he asked.
“We just got on I-26,” Fredrick replied instantly.
“Good,” Logan replied. He sat down in his chair to rub at his eyes and grabbed his phone once more. He shot off texts to different people in a pattern he was getting very used to at this point. Then, he went back to look at Patton’s message once again. “Why must you always use these infernal things?” he asked the text from his brother. He looked over his shoulder and saw Clara looking up. “Clara,” he said. She flinched at his tone.
“Yes?” she asked hesitantly.
“Are you literate in the emoji text message language?” he asked.
“Um…yes?” she said.
He stood and placed his phone in front of her. “Can you make sense of this message from Patton?” he asked.
“Er,” she said, looking at it with a perplexed expression on her face. “I’m getting… he bought a lot of cheese. Then he kidnapped… or got kidnapped by a baby? He got fast food and then did other things… then got gas and coffee. Um, he says everything’s cool and he loves you.”
“He got kidnapped by a baby?” Logan asked skeptically.
She gave him a helpless shrug. “That’s what he said. He got in his car at the grocery store, but there was a baby with a knife and the baby made him drive.”
“Well, thank you for trying,” Logan said. He took his phone back from her and wandered back over to his desk.
“Okay,” Darlene was saying over the coms. “But why do you even need chair covers for your apartment?”
“To prevent damage and stains,” Fredrick said back.
“You bought them for $20 at a yard sale. They’re already stained.”
“Even more of a reason to make a seat cover for them! It’ll make them cuter, and since I’m sewing them, I can personalize! See look, here’s the pattern I’m using.”
“Fred, I’m driving.”
They continued to chat idly about Fredrick’s latest sewing project. Logan was just content to have an open line of communication with his agents.
They eventually moved on from arguing the merit of chair covers and went on to discussing the pattern and color options. Well, Fredrick at least was discussing it. Darlene had descended into noncommittal hums, ‘yep’s and ‘I can’t look at that because I’m driving’s.
“Do you like this flower design or this flower design better?” Fredrick was asking.
“The first one,” was the answer.
“You didn’t even look!”
“Boss, there’s been an accident on I-26,” Emerson informed him from his desk.
“Where?” Logan asked.
“Around exit 52. The actual accident was only on the east side, but it was a truckload of cows, so it’ll likely affect Fred and Lena’s path.”
“Alright,” Logan said. “Find me the quickest alternative route.” Emerson nodded and turned back to his computer. Logan pushed the talk button. “There is an accident ahead of you,” he informed Fredrick and Darlene. “We will be giving you an alternate route. Stand by.”
“Yes, boss,” Darlene replied.
“Have them take exit 65 and get on Highway 236,” Emerson instructed.
Logan nodded and pressed down the button again. “You’ll want to get off on exit 65,” he told them. “You’ll take 236 until you’re past the accident.”
“Got it,” Darlene replied.
“We just passed mile marker 61 a few seconds ago, so we’ll be there soon,” Fredrick offered.
Darlene and Fredrick exited the interstate without any problems. It was a few minutes later that, with the obnoxious sound of a saxophone, the song titled ‘We Are the Number One Bad Guys’ (which was reportedly a mash-up of a song from a children’s show and a pop song) started blaring from his phone. Usually he’d be annoyed by hearing that sound as Patton and Remus had set it behind his back and he couldn’t figure out how to change it. Today, however, the sound was a relief. He grabbed his phone to look at the text message from Remus.
‘I’m not his keeper’ is what the text said in response to Logan’s many messages asking him if he knew where his brother was.
Logan stared at his phone for a least a whole minute.
“What’s wrong boss?” Clara finally hesitantly asked.
“I,” Logan said calmly. “Love. My. Children.”
“…Uh huh?”
Logan typed back a message he was certain at this point would not get a response, and then he hit the talk button on his desk. “So, Fredrick,” he said. “Tell me more about these chair covers. You mentioned flowers?”
“Uh…” Fredrick’s voice said. “Yes?”
Logan glanced up at the other agents in the room who were all staring intently at the designs in their desks. “Have you considered paisley?”
Logan focused on listening to Fredrick and Darlene’s conversation while the rest of the office focused on not looking at him unless it was to update him on the traffic for Fredrick and Darlene for the next 15 minutes.
“Whoa!” Darlene suddenly said, and Logan could hear the sound of braking through the sensitive listening devices
“What?” Logan pushed the button to ask.
“There were a couple of cars in our lane…” Fredric said.
“Was that a gun shot?” Logan asked when there was a loud pop on the other end.
“Uh… give us a minute boss,” Darlene requested.
He could hear the engines turn after a moment, likely as they accelerated again.
“What’s going on?” Logan asked.
“We’re, in a car chase now, apparently,” Fredrick replied, voice strained.
“Why?” Logan asked.
“I recognized the first car!” Darlene said.
“What do you mean you recognize the car?” Logan asked.
“I… shit!” Darlene said. Logan could hear the sound of tires squealing. A few seconds later there was a huge crash followed by a couple of incredibly loud splashes.
“What’s going on?” Logan asked.
There was cursing on the other end of the line in response and the sound of two doors slamming shut and then running.
“Darlene! Fredrick! What is going on?!”
There were a few more seconds where he could hear the sound of breathing and then the sound cut out halfway through the sound of a splash.
“Fredrick?” Logan said. “Darlene?” He took his finger off the button. “Please tell me we didn’t just lose the signal,” he said to the room at large.
There was silence.
“Please, someone tell me we didn’t just lose the signal to the high-tech spy gear I put on both of my agents.”
After a pause, Emerson finally spoke. “It’s… it’s not waterproof sir.”
“I see,” Logan said, his tone serene. “It isn’t waterproof.” He looked down at his hands settled on the top of his desk next to his useless talk button and the phone that no one seemed to be willing to call or text with anything useful. He turned his hands over, grabbed the bottom of the desk, and flipped the whole thing over. His computer smashed on the ground and the normally well-organized pens and papers scattered across the floor. “Well, why the hell isn’t it waterproof?!”
No one dared to answer his question, and Logan pinched the bridge of his nose, surveying his broken computer and overturned desk for a few minutes.
Eventually, he straightened. “I need to borrow someone’s desk,” he said. Three people scrambled to their feet, but he held up a hand. “I’ll use Darlene’s,” They all scrambled back to their desks, “and send someone after those two!” He strode over to Darlene’s desk and sat at her computer. He pulled up every local news outlet he could find. They needed to find a new starting place, because he honestly didn’t know where to go from here.
He spent an hour trying to piece together what exactly was happening out there with news articles, police scanners, and other information channels. There was an explosion an hour and a half earlier in the city where this all started, and he worried that had something to do with the lack of communication as it was on the road from Nelsen’s base to the city. However, that still left almost 2 hours before that of silence from Roman and Janus unaccounted for. There were also two separate break-ins to the security office of the grocery store down the street from Remington Gates home which Logan imagined somehow was connected, but he couldn’t figure out how. And what did the cows have to do with it? Anything? Everything? What was going on? There was no news about whatever had happened with Fredrick and Darlene and the other team of agents he sent after them were still 20 minutes out from their last known location.
“Uh, boss?” a tentative voice said. Logan looked up at Clara who was standing at the edge of the desk. She flinched at the expression on his face when he looked up.
“Unless a member of my family or Virgil Gates has arrived at this base, I don’t want to hear about it,” he snapped.
“Well…” she replied, “actually…”

Forgotten Light Ch. 1: Refractions
Summary: Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king’s horses and all the king’s men . . . couldn’t put Thomas back together again.
Chapters: 1, 2, 3
During the several days that the Sides were in Brighton, the Coalition went through their house and every room they tended to frequent in the base with a fine-toothed comb. Trying to find another aura trail, which King, Nate, and Mare were doing the bulk of the aura searching.
The humans came in their civilian attire, not wanting to draw attention to the Sides’ home.
Deep indigos, pastel blues, sparkling reds, and vibrant purples. All the Core Sides were accounted for. There was evidence that Janus and Remus had been over to their home by the faint aura trails.
“So what else are we looking for?” Silver groaned as Jackie came back in from searching places the Sides liked to regularly frequent.
“I’ve got fook-all[1],” Jackie groaned.
“We need evidence of someone living here since March, because that’s when Deceit and the Duke moved out,” King rubbed at his eyes under his glasses. “And Spade doesn’t count. Spade was just spicy Logan with extra steps. He’d have almost the exact same type of aura as him.”
Joan sighed. “Either way this place is clear, what if we don’t find it?”
“Then we hope the legate is dead,” King decided. “Which is probably a good thing. Being trapped for so long without a lot of aura, it would probably make any demon crazy.”
“So what are we supposed ta[2] do?” Jackie groaned. “Put e’erythin’ back an’ pretend nothin’s happened? All yah’ve told us about this thin’ is that it’s dangerous or somethin’.”[3]
“Honestly I’ve never heard of one either,” Mare admitted, coming out of a wall. “I knew there were other types of demons, but I thought it was just a regional language thing.”
“Well different cultures do call you guys different things in different part of the world and that does influence it a little,” King agreed.
“Kid,” Mare crossed his arms in front of his chest. “You’re an empath just like me, you’re just a small one.”
King frowned, glaring at Mare. “Least I still have my own body, I don’t have to borrow or steal someone else’s.”
Mare looked exceptionally smug, “Just wait until yours starts rusting on you. Bodies don’t last forever. You’ll pick a fight, or someone will pick a fight with you while Daddy’s not watching, and you’ll lose. Or your body will get so useless you’ll have to leave it. It happens to everyone. You think Nate was my first body, or the one your old man’s got was his? Bodies don’t last forever, Dark’s probably overdue a trade out. Being in a broken down body can’t be good but he was always made of nothing but spite and coffee so fuck that body, I guess.”
King just about bared his teeth at the older demon, but he didn’t want anymore of that smug look pointed at him and thankfully Nate intervened.
“Okay, okay,” Nate used his magic to nudge Mare away, trying to break the stand-off and deescalate the two of them. “Let’s focus on this legate, because I was raised with the Legionnaires and I just thought that a legion was like a group of demons like a murder of crows. It’s why the Legionnaires chose their name because they were a powerful force, or at least I thought so.”
“Well that is partially true,” King agreed, searching for something in the magic space he had on the inside of his cape. “A group of demons is called a legion, but it’s also a type of demon for the same reason.”
Then King paused, “Shoot, I forgot it at the base, and we should probably go back to the base, leave this place back for them.”
“Yeah we’ve combed through this place enough,” King sighed and Joan and Silver stayed behind to make sure everything was moved back to where it was supposed to be as everyone headed back to the base.
King went to go find the tome he’d been looking for in his room, and while he was gone Silver and Joan came back into the base.
“I think we got everything back to where it was,” Silver told them. “But I guarantee we missed something.”
Joan rolled their eyes. “Lo’s absolutely gonna[4] know someone went through their house, and if he somehow doesn’t find out I guarantee you Virgil will when he goes through his stuff. He used to live with the Duke after all.”
King walked back in, Lunky clinging to his cape, King smiled and was talking with his child. There was an old book in his hand. “You can stay, but you can’t meet the new demon, he’s not very nice like 할아버지[5] is.”
“You do know you’re talking about Dark, right?” Silver asked.
“Yeah, well, he’s nice to Lunky,” King smiled, before his level leveled onto a more neutral frown as he cracked open the tome. “Alright so on Illinois’s first trips to Egypt he found this book in the bowels of some library.”
“Does it talk about Legates?” Jackie asked, walking over and getting a low warning hiss from Lunky for approaching the spawnling’s father without Lunky’s permission.
“Hey, it’s okay,” King told his child, before looking at the book. “So this book doesn’t directly talk about Legates but it kickstarted this little bout of research he and I did. What this book details is some spawnling that was formed by a lightning strike and began conquering the area. The Old Man’s apparently met this guy too, he likes building stuff apparently.”
“They play poker on the weekends or somethin’[6]?” Jackie tried to joke.
“No, they haven’t spoken in almost 200 years,” King dismissed. “More importantly this research Ills and I did helped us learn a lot about demons. Mainly that demons aren’t categorized by aura or region of the world, but based on how they collect aura. If they can survive being struck by lightning without discorporating, control lightning, or technology; then they’re glitches. If they feed primarily off the emotional state of other humans or demons, then they’re empaths. If they collect aura by manipulating people and making deals: that means they’re deal makers. If they’re attention whores that collect aura from large groups, they’re showmen.”
“Wait, glitches have an affinity fer[7] lightnin’[8]?” Jackie asked. “Since when? Anti doesn’t go outside in lightnin’[8] storms.”
“Well, that doesn’t surprise me,” King replied. “Honestly there should be a hell of a lot more glitches with an outright phobia of lightning. Before technology really took off the only way to get a glitch was if one split off from another demon, like what happened with Lunky, or something like lightning strikes them. I’m pretty sure Anti was human once and he’s old enough that he was probably killed by lightning.”
“What?” Jackie shouted.
“Yep,” King popped the end of the world. “Which is why glitches were seen as weaker or rare for centuries, it was hard for them to get a lot of power until the industrial revolution hit. But while we were deep diving in some of the books we found, we found some myths and legends that talked about another type of demon. It was like a hybrid of other demon types. Like a jack-of-all-trades, master of none, kind of demon.”
“So if demons are separated by how they collect aura,” Silver commented. “How do these . . . legates? I assume these types are legates, right? How do they collect aura?”
“Yes,” King confirmed hesitantly, “and that’s the problem. Legates are like an octopus. Eight legs, but one octopus. Something in the process of creating a legate, regardless of what it would have become, doesn’t split properly. If the legate was already a proper demon it would just make a spawnling and both the demon and the spawnling would be fine. And 99.99999% of the time the person just dies instead of making a legate. But it’s that incredibly slim chance where the soul is resilient enough that the energy can’t fully make a proper demon. That energy has to go somewhere so it makes a legate and this pseudo-demon, for lack of a better term, is dangerous because the demon itself can’t collect aura, but it’s legs can.”
“Is that where the Sides come in?” Joan asked.
“Exactly,” King gestured with his arms. “It explains why there are so many. Because when a demon makes a spawnling, multiple spawnlings mean a lot of energy was split off but when a human is turned into a demon there’s barely enough energy to make one demon, let alone seven. So the legate can’t absorb aura properly on its own, making it crazy and hungry because it can’t feed like it’s supposed to. It’s like being lactose intolerant but only being able to eat and drink dairy products. But the arms or extensions of a legate are fully capable of getting aura and bringing it back to the legate in a way it can feed from. The better control a legate has over its arms, the better it can feed. So it quickly gains complete dominion over the arms and turns them into mindless thralls.”
“But all the Sides have some of the most bombastic personalities I’ve ever seen,” Silver reminded, as Nate hummed in agreement, Mare was talking to him in his head.
“Precisely,” King smiled. “They’re not thralls, so that means they’re not giving their legate aura. So the legate is either dead or is kept somewhere that it can’t collect aura and turn the Sides into thralls. If we can verify the legate is actually dead or kill it, then the Sides keep their individuality.”
“So how do we do that?” Nate spoke up. “Especially without hurting the Sides in the process?”
King thought on that for a second. “Well when they get back we should come clean and just talk about the whole thing and maybe they know something they haven’t told us.”
“Okay, what if they don’t?” Mare asked.
“Well they’re non-violent for the most part, so if we leave them be they’re not going to torch the city down,” King shrugged, he tucked the tome into his cape. “Unless there’s something you guys haven’t told me. How did Thomas die exactly? Knowing what all the Sides have in common will tell us a lot about the legate we’re looking for.”
Nate gestured to Joan, who quickly began explaining, “So I found this old camera at an estate sale and brought it to some party. I was messing around with it, dropped it, and Thomas caught it. When that happened, he split apart and that was it, it went that fast.”
“You’re sure nothing happened in-between that time?” King asked.
“Yeah,” Joan answered, hesitant but sure.
“We still have that soul splitter,” Nate supplied helpfully. “We’re pretty sure it used to be Wil’s.”
“What?” King spat.
“Yeah, I’ll go get it,” Nate offered and ran out of the room to go fetch the camera. King at the same time sent Lunky back to Google. The spawnling complained but eventually the two heroes came back with their little missions completed.
“Okay, Logan really likes it for some reason,” Nate informed King when they were both back. By the look on King’s face the young man was thinking along the same lines. “Deceit hates the thing apparently, but none of the others have more than a passing tolerance towards it.”
King picked up the camera and groaned at the pink mustache stained into the side. “Of course it’s Dad’s. His magic always did weird things to stuff to begin with.”
The young man began trying to send his aura at it, to get it to react, but he was met with nothing.
“Okay, Dad, what weird thing did you do to make this?” King grumbled in frustration.
“That’s all I could ever get it to do,” Nate lamented. “I’ve tried popping the film cartridge, but it’s stuck. I think it’s just old.”
Humming a bit in affirmation, King turned it over a bit and set it on the closest table, his fingers drummed pensively. “Okay, it’s Dad’s, there’s gotta be some trick.”
King took out one of the medallion necklaces Dark had made for Lunky and hung it right over the camera.
Still nothing.
Frowning, King channeled his aura through the camera and finally a reaction took place. A mix of King and Dark’s aura in proximity to the remnants of Wil’s that stubbornly held the camera together brought forth another aura. It was distinct and visible: a shimmering, rainbow aura. It lasted for a second but it was there.
In alarm, King flew back from the camera, pulling the necklace away. In an instant the aura disappeared.
King approached and experimentally held just the necklace above before taking it away again and trying to search for an aura trail.
“Oh, you sly bastard!” King realized as he pulled out the very dagger that had caused part of his soul to split off and create Lunky. He’d kept it because he was certainly not letting the Jims get their hands on the knife again. “I fucking found you!”
King tried to drive the soul splitter into the camera and some protective spell fanned out to break the soul splitter and bruised King’s hand.
At first King thought his hand had been broken or fractured, but as the pain subdued to a dull, aching throb, he began trying to move it and realized that at worst it had bruised his bone.
“Fucking shit!” King hissed as Silver ran over to him. The force of the barrier spell and King’s attempted blow had caused the table to break and the camera to fall to the ground, undamaged by the fall.
Nanites surged out of some unseen compartment in the camera and created a projection disk. There was a whirl and a hum, before a holographic symbol hovering in the air. It was a blackened symbol of three heads and dozens of arms surrounding it, the only words there were: “Hecatoncheires Projects Presents:”
The symbol lasted for a second before the projection showed an image of future Logan, Spade, standing in front of them.
Spade’s projection smiled at them and he took a deep breath before he greeted them, “Heroes.”

Here sre some of my Sanders Sides theories. Long post btw so yee
Roman and Remus were originally one all-encompassing creativity, then they split and become the two different sides of creativity, or the "Creativitwins". Their names seem to follow a theme: Ancient Rome, specifically the legend surrounding the creation/beginning of Rome. I think that the original creativity's name was Romulus. Here's why: Remus killed Romulus over a land dispute and then started the city of Rome in his brother's name. Citizens of Rome are called Romans. Though it could be argued that Thomas's moral sense as a concept, not necessarily Patton, separated the two, thus "killing" the original creativity.
Patton may have suffered from anxiety and could have created Virgil as a way to relieve some of his stress, therefore making him Virgil's "dad" in a sense, in Patton's mind warranting him calling Virgil "kiddo" all the time.
We all know that Patton is allergic to cats, but what about the others? What are their weaknesses? My speculations are that Virgil is iron deficient, as he doesn't like to rise up because it makes him dizzy, he is also described by Roman to be the "fairest of them all" and then admitting it was a pale joke in Virgil's expense. Roman is lactose intolerant, as when Patton is feeding him cream of broccoli soup, Logan says that it will "upset Princey's stomach". Logan is OCD: Always planning and organizing things. He gets upset when things don't go exactly as he plans it. He also feels the need to always be right and to make sure everyone else is kept in line. Also: Patton seems to suffer from depression. Oftentimes depressed people crack jokes and give people the general idea that they are happy. They also try to make other people happy. Patton also sometimes gets into these sad funks and even says "I had this problem where I'd hide my less than awesome feelings, so when I would feel like sobbing I'd just smile and crack jokes. I thought that was coping, only joking, never showing sadness, hoping it would just go away".
The thumbnail for "Putting Others First - Selfishness v. Selflessness Redux" has a character selection screen telling the viewer to "select a side", but one thing I noticed is that there is a blank box, indicating a locked character or a character who hasn't been revealed yet. Another thing I noticed is that the sides have a rainbow theme going on. Thomas even says that he is "full rainbow all the time" as an allusion to his sexuality, and possibly even the sides in general. Roman is red, there is no known orange side, Janus is yellow, Remus is green, Patton is light blue, Logan is indigo, and Virgil is violet/purple. Red is the color of physical strength, power, confidence, and passion, which suits Roman's personality. Yellow can be happiness and joy, but also directly means cowardice and deceit, which is self explanatory. Green is a color of healing, life, and vitality, but the flip side being greed, jealousy, pessimism, and superficially. Blue is the color of trust, loyalty, faith, wisdom, truth, patience, and understanding, which sums Patton up pretty well. Indigo resembles wisdom, integrity, fairness, impartiality, and justice, which is all right up Logan's alley. Violet is the color of ambition, dignity, devotion, pride, mystery, independence, magic, being cynical, and mourning, which all makes sense in Virgil's case. Now to orange, which resembles joy, sunshine, risk taking, adventure, enthusiasm, creativity, attraction, success, rudeness, frivolity, and untrustworthiness, which is a balance of traits that both Roman and Remus have and directly resembles creativity, so orange could be a fusion of Roman and Remus, the original creativity before they split. Another possibility for the next side is someone who resembles ethos, as we have pathos and logos (Patton and Logan).
All the sides have an ancient Rome theme going on. Roman and Remus, after the legend surrounding the beginning of Rome. Virgil, after the Roman poet Publius Vergilius Maro, who is often called Virgil. Janus (formerly known as Deceit) after the Roman god of the same name (Janus is the god of new beginnings and transitions, often depicted with two faces facing in opposite directions, one for the past and one for the future). All of the sides except for Patton and Logan, whose names are derived from pathos and logos, an ancient Greek concept proposed by Aristotle. And have you noticed that they mirror each other in almost every way, suggesting that, much like Roman and Remus, they are brothers, possibly even twins?
Dukes tend to not be a part of the royal family, but if so they are princes who have gotten married. Does this mean that Remus is married?!?!? If so to whoooo?
Welcome to me overthinking things again! What if Roman has control over the other sides? Like he's creativity and the sides are figments of Thomas' imagination, so like what if one day he was just done with Logan's nonstop fact train he just (this is extreme) went: "Fuck you, Logan, you're dead now" and Logan straight up dies? Like where would his power end if he could do that? Overthinking things can be scary kids, let me do it for you.
If you overthink it: Patton basically just was like "Nah" in POF SvSR. So he said in SvS that going to the wedding would make Thomas feel good, something that he basically controls because he is Thomas' moral sense and at the center of most of his feelings. Basically Thomas went to the wedding and Patton was like: "This is nice and all and you did the right thing, but uhmmm about those happy feelings. No." And then got all sorts of frustrated about being wrong. So yee. I am just doing the overthinking things thing again.
What if creativity split solely as a big "Fuck you, Logan"? Like I just imagine: C: "Hey Logan, I'm performing mitosis"
L: "Yes, your cells- *he looks up* Whaaaaa?"
R&R: "Cha cha real smooth, Logan"
And thus the twins were "born"
Logan thinks feelings are bad and claims to not have feelings, even though he clearly does (cough, cough, Crofters the Musical? Getting angry in some episodes? Logan, you're a bad liar, bud). So he bottles up most of his feelings, for all practical purposes making him a ticking time bomb. Something's probably going to happen and he won't be able to hold it all in and he'll have an emotional breakdown of sorts. Another thing is he will not duck out. He knows he's too important to Thomas' mental wellbeing for that. He is also getting progressively more angry as the others listen to him less, so he's probably going to overwork himself trying to get everyone to listen to the point where he physically can't be there for Thomas. Cuz like I suspect Logan leaving would have the same effect as Thomas having a massive stroke: The right side of his body wouldn't work, he wouldn't be able to talk/communicate, and his reasoning skills would be gone.
Janus just loves philosophy. Every episode in the main timeline, he makes references to famous philosophers to get his point across.
Patton is always the first of the light sides to accept the dark sides. First with Virgil and then with Janus. He may be taking them in as his troubled but lovable children who he will defend under almost any circumstance.
Virgil's name is not Virgil. People think his full name is Virgilius, though Thomas and Joan have previously stated that it isn’t. Bc of that, some people have theorized that Virgil was lying about his name, or that when he moved to the “light sides” he changed/used a different name, and maybe they’re going to reveal that sometime. Like the scene with Remus and Vee where Re goes, “I would never hide anything from you” looks pointedly at Virgil, and you assume it’s bc he took forever to tell Thomas, but what if it’s bc he was lying about his name from the moment he told Thomas??? And also the moment when Janus says "It takes a liar to know a liar" and Virgil says "Don't" and the response was "What? I'm only talking about your name" I think his name could be Acanthus
Ya know, Patton probably has an indirect role in how the other sides look. Not like "But you're anxiety, you wear the hoodie" but closer to Thomas beliefs of stuff like lying is bad and the fact that Janus often plays devils advocate, so he has a snake face
Random thoughts:
Virgil has the most ace/demi aesthetic and I love that
SvS: Multi part episode, "bad/evil/dark" side gets accepted, the FEELS, angst. Hmmm…
The twins getting along and just like sitting at a table causing minor chaos.
Patton randomly hugs everyone. He just does.
Janus and Patton: animal bros

have any hcs about our favorite snakey side?
Deceit is actually lactose intolerant, although you'd never be able to guess that based on just how much milk he actually drinks. He loves cereal, milk shakes, and just so much cheese.
So he is absolutely one hundred percent willing to suffer for his tastes, despite how much the other sides have gotten onto him about it.
He's determined to never stop.

💙 Sander 🛡 Sides 👓
🐍 Head 🎭 Cannons 🌩
⚠️*warning, some of these are gonna be messed up and may be triggering*⚠️
Tumblr media
Logan/Logic:
- he’s the most useless gay out off all the sides. When Thomas meets/sees a cute guy Logan completely freezes up, starts shuddering, and literally dies while the other sides try and and get him to focus. Kinda like the old saying “logic had gone out the window”
- he l o v e s glow sticks
- Throws actual temper tantrums when he gets upset.
- Is the tallest side.
- He has rainbow pens. Each color of pen have a different use.
- Logan has the constellations painted with glow in the dark paint on his ceiling.
- Is the mom side.
- Will bottle up all of his feelings until one day something sets him off and months worth of anger, sadness, and regret come spilling out of him in a violent sobbing and yelling breakdown that normally takes about an hour (with the other sides help) to calm down.
- He has the biggest problem with deceit as he is logic and deceits main purpose is to shift Thomas view away from what’s factual. This often results in Logan taking his anger and frustrations out on deceit, only to regret it later.
Patton/Morality:
- is super insecure and uses jokes to hide how much he hates himself.
- He stress bakes. A few times the other sides have had to stop him because if you let him he’ll bake cookies/other treats for hours on end.
- He has no pain tolerance and cries when he dose stuff like accidentally biting his tongue, or pulling his hair while he’s brushing it.
- Is the third tallest side
- Has a small heart shaped birth mark on the back of his neck.
- He keeps a swear jar and makes the other sides but in a quarter ever time they say something worse than “oh my god”.
- Loves plants plants with a burning passion. He has a little army of succulents in his room and has named each of them.
- He is an expert at making flower crowns.
Roman/Princey:
- he’s severely lactose intolerant but he still eats/drinks dairy products anyways because he would rather die than give that up
- Randomly burst into song. Usually at very inconvenient times.
- Is the second tallest side.
- He is extremely passionate about poetry and could go on for hours about his favorite works of literature.
- Absolutely loves wearing high heals and long flowy dresses
- Gets to run around in the dream realm while Thomas is asleep and have his princely adventures.
Virgil/Anxiety:
- Can pick up all the other sides and has no problem dragging them around when he wants them to do something. He can just throw anyone of them over his shoulder and they wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.
- Snorts when he laughs.
- Is the forth tallest side.
- Has a serious guilt complex.
- F R E K L E S
- He is easily flustered.
- He used to self harm
- Virgil knows all the first aid a person would need to know. He's become the local nurse.
- Constantly making vine/meme references.
- Is slightly touched starved.
- Virgil is Asexual
- owns a lot of heavy duty sweaters because heavy sweaters make him feel safe and help his anxiety.
-used to live with the dark sides (but that’s a whole nother post)
Deceit/my son:
- Deceit is color blind and can’t see the color red.
- Deceit knows when your lying. Not only that, but when you lie, he can also hear the truth. For example. If someone says “I’m okay” he knows how they are actually feeling and can literally hear them thinking “I hate myself” or something along those lines.
- He’s really self conscious about his name, so much so that not even the other dark sides know his name and he normally just goes by Dee.
- He’s selectively mute. It normally only happens in really emotionally draining situations.
- When Deceit cries he also instinctively starts laughing because he’s trying to convince himself that he’s fine and he hopes that laughing will cover up how miserable he is. But in the end it just kinda comes out as a really sad and broken sobbing/laughing sound.
- Deceit is the shortest out of all of Thomas’s sides.
- He is afraid of heights, the fact that he is short and often has to climb on top of stuff to reach things dose not help.
- He has a huge pet python.
- Laughs like a classic disney villains when he gets exited. But it sounds more endearing that actually threatening.
- He doesn’t only regulate Thomas’s lies, he looks over the other sides lying as well.
- Has a really detailed and intricate half sleeve tattoo of a two headed snake on his left upper arm.
- Has an eating disorder. Will go days without eating. And when he dose eat it’s normally something really small. He’s also insecure about eating in-front of other people. So when he dose eat he’ll normally just take it to his room.
- He cries when he eats because he’s disappointed in himself and sometimes he ends up forcing himself to throw up after eating.
- Has nightmares a lot and often wakes up terrified and/or in tears. But thanks to his selective mutism he is unable to scream or cry out in his sleep.
- Makes a lot of vine jokes with Virgil
- Is extremely sensitive to yelling and can’t stand being yelled at. A lot of the time he isn’t able to talk when getting yelled at because of his selective mutism and will kinda just freeze up and take the abuse. (Unless it to much for him to handle, then he’ll just start silently crying)
- Is extremely touch he’d starved. It’s to the point that he wants affection, but as soon as he gets it he gets scared and doesn’t want it anymore.
- he has the fluffiest hair but is really embarrassed about it so that’s why he wears a hat
- has had several panic attacks over his scales and has actually tried to pry them of. He’s only ever been able to remove one but it was so excruciatingly painful that he dares not do it again and just settles for scratching at them.
- Deceit can be a flirty motherfucker when he wants to be.
- Will randomly brake out in songs of different genres. (But will change lyrics to fit his sexual preference) Just like
- Deceit: I KISSED A -boy- AND I LIKED IT!!”
Logan: omg sTFU!!!
Or like
Deceit: You remind me of the babe~!! *changes
voice pitch* what babe?!
(If you know that song I love you)
And all the sides collectively just sigh.
