Folks, friends, y’all…. esk*mo is a slur. I understand a lot of people don’t know that, I don’t want to be a dick about it, but I’ve been seeing it in fics. Wanna write “esk*mo kisses”? Just say “nuzzled noses” or something.
I’m not here to call anybody out, it’s been in multiple fics, I’m not vague posting. This is just a psa. 👍🏻
Convinced the people who voted against Foolish have never seen him before. I cannot believe he lost so soon
Oh my GOD so
1. Someone FINALLY recognized that as a part of Thomas, Remus has to have importance!!!
2. Real life Nico!!
3. Logan dumping out his coffee and replacing it with wine? ICONIC
4. HIS EYES! We were all right!!! I think!! Logan's gonna get mad and go dark so Thomas pays attention to him and become the orange side!! I literally made Logan's eyes orange in one of my dark side Logan aus! And he's definitely a dark side because of Remus's 'now you're speaking my language'!!
5. The end! Virgil chilling in the roots of a tree, Janus, the snake with the apple, up in the branches, assuring that 'everything is just fine'
6. Logan trying to understand the others while they constantly brush him off!!
7. The orange eyes at the very end!!
8. REMUS AND LOGAN CONTENT!!!
9. ALL THE SIDES TOGETHER IN ONE EPISODE!
10. ORANGE SIDE CONTENT
11. REALLY GOOD ADVICE FOR DEALING WITH INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS THAT I REALLY NEEDED RIGHT NOW
12. SHOWING REMUS'S WORK PROCESS
13. REMUS BEING ALLERGIC TO S O A P
14. THE ENTIRE THING

Truly the duality of man
Remus, proud of knowing something: Logan. I have a fact.
Logan, not looking up from his book: Proceed.
Remus: Male reindeers lose their antlers in the winter, while female reindeers don't. All of Santa's reindeers have antlers, meaning they're all female, but the media says they're men because they don't want a team of strong females depicted.
Logan: Or they aren't cis. Ever think about that?
Remus: Wait wha—
Logan: Maybe they're transgender. Don't be a bigot, Remus.
Remus: I'M NOT—
Remus: Wait—
Remus: Am I being a bigot???
Logan: I don't know, are you? You're assuming their gender aligns with their sex.
Remus: *now having a crisis*
Janus, walking past, unable to help it: So you could say they're... Transgendeer.
Logan, hopping up, beating Janus with a pillow: I'm trying to escape Patton's constant puns, goddamnit!
I think if anyone finds the labels of light and dark absolutely meaningless, it's Logan and Janus, because they both know they all help Thomas equally, so I think they're most likely to befriend each other.
When Janus snatched away Logan with his cane and took his place, Logan had to know he was being impersonated, yet there was no sign of Logan attempting to stop him. 'Logan' also didn't return immediately, which leaves room for me to presume that they discussed it, but he returned quick enough, which leaves room for me to presume that they agreed on Janus taking his place.
These facts in mind, I would say they absolutely recognize this in each other, and as they both know there's no figurative 'cap' on affection the sides can receive, they support each other. If they receive praise from each other, it's mutually beneficial. (I also believe there's a reason that Dark Side!Logan and Loceit AUs are so common and easily supported by canon)
I chose to imagine them hanging out, talking about how the other sides have brushed them off/ignored them lately, and talking about their interests (for example, a conversation I had with a friend:
Them: [showing me their art, beginning to explain it because it's around the theme of a band they really like]
Them: And it— sorry, I should stop, people don't like it when I talk about it so much...
Me, internally: Tell me who said that and they'll pay
Me, externally: No no I want to hear it keep talking
and I feel like that's how it'd go with them)
And Remus! I feel like he's going to have a much bigger + irreplaceable role than shown so far. Like how Janus was introduced as 'Deceit,' but we learned he embodies self-preservation + self-care too. But for now, about his actions:
Roman is a Light Side. He is Good Creativity. He's Thomas's hero. He's literally a prince charming. Everybody loves him.
At least, that's how he's seen, right? We know he's actually got some self-esteem issues. But externally, he's perfect. Externally, 'the Duke and the Prince literally wear the black and the white.'
When Thomas's creativity 'split,' and Remus was created as the embodiment as Bad Creativity and the villain of the story, how everyone would see him was predetermined. He's the annoying one; the bad one; the one nobody wants around.
So that's what he made himself. He knew he couldn't get positive attention, so he made himself get the attention he could get: negative attention.
He's not just a kid screaming on an airplane. He's the sibling that's overshadowed by his brother, who's perfect. He's the kid who acts out to try to get the attention that his brother gets for being good.
Because if Remus acted 'good,' so what? Everyone else already does that. To get attention, he either has to somehow become 'better' than Roman, or be so much 'worse' that everyone takes note. (And this is super common in kids.)
This is my take on everything and this is very long and probably repetitive but if I am anything it is not succinct
So we all remember these scenes:
C!Thomas: You’re right, you’re right, you’re right, you’re right, you’re right, you’re right.
Logan: Well, now you're just pandering to my fondness for being told that I'm right.
-
C!Thomas: (sighs) You're right.
Janus: Oh, I'm sorry. Uh, what was that? I couldn't hear you.
C!Thomas: (louder) You're right.
Janus: AH! YES! Ha! It feels SO GOOD! SO GOOD! Aah...
And before you say 'praise kink,' hear me out:
Janus recently revealed himself to Thomas, and nobody else seems to like him. Remus might, it's undetermined, but Remus doesn't seem like the kind to tell anyone that they're right.
Logan, as we know, enjoys being called 'cool.' I doubt being called intelligent would have any effect on him; he knows, he's Logic, he has to be intelligent. And they seem to just either know he's saying facts or ignore him.
They're probably the least likely to be told that they're right. (Besides Remus but he seems to take it out by bothering everyone)
That might have been the first time anyone ever told Janus he was right. And don't get me started on how under-appreciated Logan is.
What if they both react this way because they don't get told they're right often/at all?
Like, whenever someone says they want to listen to me rant about one of my hyper fixations (a rare occurrence) I freak out and get really giddy and happy. Maybe it's the same way for them.
And yes, Logan's response wasn't very emotionally charged, but he either suppresses his emotions or doesn't show them as openly as the others. The last time he showed an emotion, he hit Roman in the eye with a crumpled vocabulary card.
So... Yeah. Just consider that. I don't know I never know how to end my rants in real life I usually just get interrupted before I can finish
Virgil: (glances at Logan's computer that he left on)
A random google document:
Me: (stays in the bath for .7 seconds too long)
My fingertips: This is It, boys. We shall Revert Back to The Ways of underwater. We shall never see The Surface again.
Virgil: ...
Virgil: Hey Lo have you ever heard of Tumblr—
@thatsthat24 If you're looking for name ideas I strongly recommend Linguini
Can you imagine the absolute chaos if Thomas confirmed Sleep's name and it wasn't Remy
He/they (both equally good)I love asks, requests, general interaction, and stuff like that!Mostly various fandom stuff, I'm just having a good time and enjoying myselfI hope I can make you smile :)
