#the glasses gays are on my mind

[rambling-prince-thoughts]

i got to thinking after yesterday’s post (linked here if you haven’t read it) about svs and decided to talk a little more about patton and logan’s relationship in specific contexts throughout the series.

as thomas explained to us in a behind-the-scenes video, logan and patton’s names were derived from logos and pathos, both of which are a form of appeal in persuasion. logos pertains to logical fact and reasoning and pathos pertains to emotion. very in-line which logic and morality, aka logan and patton.

so in essence, they’re opposites. we see this in one of the earliest sanders sides videos— THE MIND vs THE HEART— where logan and patton have differing opinions on the same matter, and they tend to cause thomas a great deal of confusion and anxiety when he tries to make a decision regarding those matters.

it’s the question that everyone often gets asked: do you listen to your mind more, or your heart?

however, one thing that stays consistent throughout the series is that patton, as the moral compass, is the most often listened to. thomas relies heavily on his emotions to get things done, specifically as seen in svs and svs redux. but patton also seems to know when something is missing, and encourages thomas to listen to the other sides.

an example of this would be “Accepting Anxiety” where patton calls out roman and logan for not realising that virgil’s absence is the cause of thomas’ current state of mind.

like i mentioned in my previous post, patton is usually the one to ask for logan’s input, and often needs logan to explain the things that he can’t put into words. there are lots of examples of this in LNTAO, where patton and logan are able to understand each other’s points of view and put them into easier terms.

i also have to mention this little moment of patton waving excitedly when logan pops up— it’s clear that patton does value logan both as a person and as one of thomas’ sides, and that he’s also important.

first is the part where thomas figures out that he’s stuck in a loop, but he can’t quite understand why. the rest of the sides are unable to provide an answer, until patton chimes in with his own explanation, which despite being confusing, is the only explanation that anyone had been able to think of. patton is unable to elaborate because as he says, “words can be tough”.

but logan is able to pick up on what patton meant and provide a more clear understanding. he also finds that patton is correct, and it was an ingenious solution.

he holds back his admiration, possibly because of his reputation as “unfeeling” and also not wanting to admit that someone else made a valid point. even less so that the person who made that valid point was patton, who usually was silly and lighthearted but who thomas listened to most, too.

in fact, he disregards patton’s comment of “puppets!” simply because he finds it ridiculous and unlike roman who immediately backtracks on his skepticism (which is a whole other post), he stays unwavering on his opinion of patton’s suggestion.

when logan doesn’t agree with everyone else turning into puppets, patton is the first to try and convince him by telling him that they need him there.

as logic, it’s logan who prioritises learning, and patton knows this. he also knows how much logan likes to teach others about things, so he appeals to that emotion to persuade logan to stay. he doesn’t even insist on logan changing into a puppet, he just asks that logan stays for the entire conversation.

he even backs logan up when logan and roman are fighting about the usage of “figuratively”, by telling roman not to assume which logan thanks him for.

when logan finally snaps and throw the paper ball at roman, it labels him as the problem, as he instigated physical violence against roman (even though roman was egging him on). so logan decides that he needs to leave, similar to how he did in “Moving On”. at this, patton finally raises his voice too, telling logan that he needs to stay and they can’t have the conversation without him, he’s part of the sides too.

when thomas agrees to hear logan out, patton agrees too, once again asking logan for his thoughts on the matter. he seems to be diffusing the situation as best as he can, and that means allowing everyone to speak once and be listened to.

logan refers back to the point that patton made, and acknowledges it as something that patton came up with instead of simply saying that there was a point made and listing it out. he could have easily said that it goes back to a point they’d established earlier, but even though he hid his admiration, he’s still giving patton credit where credit’s due.

another interesting thing: when logan insists that he’s not a joke, that he can’t be seen as such, the camera pans to patton and you can see his reaction through the puppet face. you can imagine what patton must be thinking right now as he puts the pieces together.

finally, during the puzzle song, logan is first to object and wants to get back to discussing things seriously without grasping that that’s what they’re doing, just not in the way he’s used to. once again, patton calls out to him, pleading with him to understand. he’s the only one making such a genuine effort to have logan be part of what they’re doing since he thinks that it might really benefit thomas.

so at the end, when everything is sorted out, patton is relieved that everyone has gotten along and that logan seems to be on par with the situation.

it’s clear that patton listens to logan the most out of all the other sides, and that logan expects patton to listen to him and heed his words. that’s why he was so shocked during the events of svs when he thought that patton had betrayed him by intentionally keeping him out of the courtroom scenario. patton’s comments are usually also understood best by logan, who clarifies them into more logical points for the others.

they’re meant to work together as a team. one cannot function without the other, otherwise thomas will be at risk to making entirely rational choices and forget to have empathy, or at risk to making choices on emotion alone and burning himself out.

that’s it for this post! join me again next time where i discuss patton’s character and how he’s trying really hard, but also failing intensely.

#sanders sides #rambling prince thoughts #logicality #second logicality post in a row woohoo #the glasses gays are on my mind #you can read this as platonic or romantic logicality #either way they’re definitely meant to work in tandem #slight logan angst #i hope things get sorted out in the season finale bc i cannot deal with any more of this #logan sanders #patton sanders

Guys, does it seem like true homosexual behavior when you’re tugging at the cloth of your other half? Joking of course, NOWWW- oh i am so scared but so excited too?? I MEAN, ITS PROBABLY DOOMSDAY IN THIS CHAPTER, showing what the name is even called soooo. hold on tight gay gang

(also the background is suspicious too, that doesn’t look like London AT ALL. Maybe i’m stupid and London used to have coasts looking this pretty, but as an AP history student, yyeeeeeaaahhh.. not during the industrial revolution era. It looks similar to the Highlands of Scotland, which makes sense because Jekyll is actually Scottish, hopefully none of you have forgotten that)

My feelings on Gustholomule are very vague. Do I ship them? Sometimes. My default is thinking of them being the funniest snarkiest besties ever. A comedy duo if you will. They're only gay when I feel like it.

#theyre gay when i feel the need to refer to Through The Looking Glass Ruins as ''Gus's bi episode'' #usually theyre just bros #i can usually picture a future where they stay bros #like theyre not as set in stone in my mind as lumity and huntlow are #HOWEVER #you wanna hear my thoughts on potentially romantic gustholomule?? #i dont care if you dont. Anyway #i like the idea that if it ever DOES go turn out that way its not for a while #like a year or two or maybe even three #so i get my best of both worlds. i can have their fun totally platonic bond for a good long while #until something eventually changes #slow burn gustholomule is where its at honestly #like. amity? developed a crush after like....a month maybe #hunter?? that motherfucker was gone after a DAY #i like the idea that Matt who is way stupider than Amity and Hunter just happens to be way less romantically reckless #takes him a long while #also the comedy of gustholomule is you have the holy trifecta #the original trio of luz willow and gus. they started off losers. now they have bitches #literally bitches i mean. amity hunter and matt were all SO mean at the start #actually i got really into the idea of gustholomule while writing these tags #YEARS of being best friends and then suddenly an "oh.'' #are you KIDDING me?? #also also i love the idea of Amity and Hunter cornering Matt and being like #SO! *captain america sitting backwards in a chair meme* youve realized that youre a simp #gustholomule

im not super into shipping sonic characters these days despite what my url might lead you to believe. like dont get me wrong theres ships i like but shipping is not a very high priority for me and the list of ships i actually really like is very short. However. i still think the idea of sonics rivals who are around the same age as him all secretly (or not so secretly) having a crush on him and not knowing what to do about it is sooo funny

#it can range anywhere from them thinking sonic was kinda cute for like 10 minutes but then almost immediately getting over it #to still being in love with him to this day. ill let you decide whos who on those #jet the hawk acts like that because hes gay and in the closet but the closet door is made of glass and everyone knows except jet himself #knuckles will literally go *spends multiple nights in a row staring at the moon and thinking about sonic* #< for people who have never watched sonic x NO im not making that up it happened. he was blushing in that scene too. gay ass echidna #also when i say rivals. i mean characters that sonic is friends with or is just kinda on neutral terms with #that he currently has or used to have a rivalry with at some point. not his enemies #those are two completely separate categories in my mind #i remembered sonjet existed earlier sorry thats what made me write this post

[wow-an-unfunny-joke]

I’m back on my bullshit.

Anyways! Some fun ship names I came up with!

Medic/Sniper: bed pan

Medic/engineer: goggles and glasses

Sniper/soldier: sniper rocket, also, bullseye, bullsboom, boomseye

I can do this all day

#okay so my #every ship known to mann #engiemedic fic #is late #I realize this #do you realize how cute the old gay men can be and how many ideas I have???? #I’m torn between #they fall in love while medic hacks engie’s arm off #they bond over being the Problem Solvers(tm) and someone makes a joke about them being parents #(someone being engineer) #and whatever th fuck I have in that third document that I haven’t opened in since I started this project #I’ve got ships on the mind y’all #sniper/medic #sniper and medic #bed pan tf2 #bushmedicine #medic/engineer #engiemedic #goggles and glasses #science party #sniper/soldier #american aviators #snipersoldier #sniper rocket

In today's episode of "I didn't read the fucking room that I wrote" we have the queen herself: Sarah J Maas.

This woman somehow managed to write what could have been one of the best gay romantic subplots in a YA fantasy adventure and flushes it all down the toilet by friendzoning it.

Dorian and Chaol could have had one of the best friends to lovers stories. It wouldn't take much adjusting at all. The ending of Heir of Fire? Take Sorscha out of the book entirely. Queen of Shadows would have such higher stakes! Kingdom of Ash's reunion would be so sweet! Their dialogue doesn't really need any changes.

Reading Heir of Fire and Queen of Shadows, Chaol is near obsessed with Dorian (for good reason. man's a snack). Chaol being harmed was the only thing that freed Dorian from the Valg. They love each other so much. And Chaol's inner conflict about Dorian's magic would have been *chef's kiss*.

If you don't believe me, genderbend one of two. Make either Dorian or Chaol a woman and tell me what you think. People would have been shipping those two immediately. Immediately.

#they're gay your honor #yep i really just wrote a whole fucking essay on tog gayness #i love them so much #manon is free to be with elide #or just be her badass self living the single life #yrene has plenty of options #my girl can get it #dorian havilliard #chaol westfall #throne of glass #tog #heir of fire #queen of shadows #kingdom of ash #chaol x dorian #bros to lovers #i've been rereading throne of glass on my lunch breaks so it's been on my mind

You know now that Daniel Craig is finally free from Bond and has shown to the general public that he can play more than just an action hero with Bneoit Blanc I just hope we get to see more of these artsy emotional dramas he clearly wanted to do more of earlier in his career before he became Bond. If he still wants to do them that is. Tbh I just want him to act in whatever he wants and has fun in but he has such an amazing range, like he could literally play anything, and he was drawn to more emotional hitting roles than just action heroes before so I would love to see him in a very emotional drama or somethong else completely left field idk

#daniel craig #don't mind me I'm drunk I'm just thinking about more dc films because I NEED them #and yes I know he just did Glass Onion and Queer is next up in filming and that that will be probably more of a gay drama #and I love that #but I just want even more of emotional hitting stiff #*stuff #cause he is such a damn incredible and amazing performer he would smash whatever part he get into the park #butI'm a sucker for highly emotional movies so I NEED even more of them with him in it #also wouldn't mind if he did theatre again (as long as it's in London this time caise that's where my German ass can afford to go to) #like to all the people who have seen him do theatre shows live how does it feel to have lived my dream? #enough rambling now sorry #mystuff

"c...can i help you?"  interest and confusion both bring alight the dormouse's features, his eyes wide as he clutches the lorebook he'd moments before been scribbling away in against his chest. not a wonderlandian at all, he thinks, as he stands so very far 'neath this tall stranger's height. it's intimidating, and a little scary, and leaves him shrinking away from @londonfallen with twitching ears.  "the—the—the—the library c—closed about an hour ago, you see... especia—especially to outsiders."

#hey elegiast step up to the gay ass plate #ʚ o. in character ɞ ⁄ you’ll lose your mind wandering for hours‚ may even decide to start talking to flowers. #ʚ c. dormouse ɞ ⁄ time dancers whirling past‚ i’ve gazed through the looking glass just beyond my grasp. #dormouse hours have concluded

i wore my new leather jacket outside for the first time, we all had different variations of the same haircut and there was a lot of complaining

#chomikz #yeah thats the life doodle tag now #if you could see us irl you'd immediately know i'm the gay cousin #my dad who's also not allowed in my mom's cousin reunion took us to a bar #he sighed and said cant believe my new drinking buddies are my nephews and my kid #he didnt really say that in english these are all roughly translated from tagalog/taglish but who cares #also i had a queer coming of age movie moment where i was sleepy from drinking 4 glasses of wine #i ended up coming out to the cousin telling me to quit while we were hanging out at a balcony facing the sea at sunset #he was cool with it and i trust hes not gonna tell anyone :D i dont mind if he tells his twin bc i trust him too #but he said he wont tell either #anyway had a good time hanging out i really need to get out more often staying inside and scrolling is rotting my brain #i hope my cousins had a good time too
