"If Only Apollo Had More Influence Today..."

Supposed To Be A Family (Moceit)

Description:

The six sides were supposed to be a family. They were supposed to disregard the labels 'light' and 'dark' and be one group of people.

For a while, they were. Then a fallout happened between two sides, and they were divided.

Can they move past it? Can they become a family again? Can they finally reunite their 'Mama' and 'Dad,' who raised the rest of them?

Supposed To Be A Family (Sanders Sides)

The six sides were supposed to be a family. They were supposed to disregard the labels 'light' and 'dark' and be one gr...

Nobody Asked, But If I Could Say One Thing To Each Of The Sides, They'd Be:

Roman: We appreciate you. Not everything you make has to be the work of Adam (Driver). It's okay to mess up. You aren't just Thomas's hero; you're the hero of a lot of fans too.

Orange: TBD. (Right now, 'Come out, come out, wherever you are!')

Janus: Thank you. Also, I think your name is awesome.

Remus: You aren't evil. You're just as important as the other sides.

Patton: It's okay to say 'I don't know.' You aren't supposed to have all the answers. You aren't letting anyone down.

Logan: I listen when you're talking, and I learn from you, and I know a lot of other fans do. You can show your emotions, we know you have them. We'll always take you seriously.

Virgil: We love you. You've never been the villain— you've always been looking out for Thomas's safety.

(I know some of them aren't really 'one thing' shh)

(I know Remus is as important as everyone else because @thatsthat24 doesn't make one-dimensional sides. All the sides are like onions: they have several layers and once they're revealed you usually start crying)

The twins have been beaned! Virgil is half-beaned and I am now out of beans, I must get more to complete my quest

Patterns: cut

Colors: matched

Bois: pinned together

Reference boi: ready

Special eyes for the special boi: Ready

Package tracker: You shipment is a state away and should arrive by the end of the day.

Me, sitting in the windowsill in the morning: Mail??

How tf is this my most popular post, we're all just validation-seeking binches huh

Remus, nervous: Hey, uh... I drew Thomas...

Drawing: Non-creepy, realistic, black and white portrait of Thomas

Patton, eyes lighting up: Oh my goodness, kiddo, that's so good! You're a really talented artist!

Logan: You drew that? It's really good.

Thomas, pointing at it excitedly: That's me! That's so good! Oh my god

Janus: That's very impressive. You should be proud.

Virgil: Yeah, that's really good, dude. *kinda awkward but supportive thumbs-up*

Remus, eyes full of tears, turning to Roman: *whisper* Is this what it's like?

Roman: *solemnly sets hand on his shoulder*

Roman: Welcome to the 'I'm-Going-To-Keep-Creating-To-Chase-This-High-I-Get-From-Praise' Club.

Remus: Who else is in it?

Roman: All creators that crave validation. So... A helluva lot of people.

Remus has started a 'two peas in an odd pod' friendship with Virgil, and Roman has started a rivalry with Virgil!

I have started a (mobile) sims game

Patton and Janus are fiancés, Janus is a barista, Patton is a chef with a cooking hobby, they're planning on having a kid (either Remus or Roman but hopefully both)

They're going to raise all the sides (like in my fic, Supposed To Be A Family, I have no shame adding that, link's in my pinned post)

Cats are SUPPOSED to stay inside, because it's safer for them and the wildlife so don't listen to anyone that tries saying anything. Also why was the doggo just looking inside if he can go in?

Also also, do you mind turning anon on?

We put her outside to run around because she was being rambunctious, she's back inside now

Also I didn't know it wasn't! Thanks for telling me— I think I fixed it, would you mind telling me if I have?

Logan: Just... Explain to me how you do this.

Remus: Simple. Cinnamon? Delicious flavor. Not super strong like cloves. In my life I have never made anything too cinnamon-y. A lot of recipes fear spices, so you gotta use your own judgement.

Remus: 'That's close enough?' I measure with my heart is my answer, but in reality I'm a lazy bitch and don't want to measure out all those tablespoons and teaspoons and then wash all the extra dishes.

Remus: Salt? Salt doesn't make things salty until you add too much. When you add the right amount, it just makes things taste. It enhances the natural flavor. Almost always add salt.

Remus: Almond flour? Almond flour is literally finely ground almonds. As long as you don't accidentally make almond butter, you can totally make it yourself.

Remus: Adding cinnamon and chili powder to hot chocolate is how they do it sometimes in some places in Mexico, and frankly, it's delicious. I just add it to taste.

Logan: But how do you know?

Remus: Uh... Experience? Intuition?

Logan: I CAN'T LEARN THOSE!

Logan, in front of camera: Yeah, I'm good at baking because it's a science, I follow instructions exactly and get the desired outcome.

- (Flashback) -

Remus: A fourth teaspoon of cinnamon? You're fucking with me. What do you think this is, radioactive?

Remus: 1/6 cup? Eh, this'll be close enough

Remus: This frosting doesn't have salt? Seriously, the recipe's fucking with me. You can't have frosting without salt.

Remus: I'm out of almond flour for macarons? Eh, I'll grind my own

-

Interviewer: And how do you feel about Remus's baking always turning out better than yours?

Remus: *in background, putting cinnamon and chili powder in his hot chocolate*

Logan: *eye twitches* It's fine.

I just got reminded of this post and while the sentiment is still completely true, I don't identify as a trans boy anymore skdhksdh

I have since decided that basically I don't like gender (for myself, it's great for people who like it/want one) and don't want to participate in it

Me, years ago: If I want to be a Proper Trans Boy and be Respected By People then I must always be masculine and not wear dresses, or skirts, or makeup, or paint my nails—

The Internet:

So may I introduce to you,

The life-changing concepts of,

Toxic Masculinity

and

Femboys

Me, crying in joy, painting my nails, curling my eyelashes, wearing a dress because it is Too Damn Hot for shorts, self-esteem skyrocketing: Yeah go ahead

Concept: Janus tries to teach the other sides to sew (I've been sewing a lot and this is all I can think of)

Remus: Is doing pretty well, has continued to stab needles and sewing scissors into his eyes so his workspace is a bit bloody, you can tell he is making an octopus though

Virgil: Refuses to use a sewing machine because it scares him (a very reasonable fear), uses thimbles, it's slow and clumsy but he makes a pretty cool stuffed stormcloud in the end

Patton: Is doing surprisingly well! He keeps stabbing his fingers with needles on accident and drawing blood (not much though), he ends up with a cute little blob frog that's definitely friend-shaped

Logan: He watched Janus sew once and immediately got the hang of it. He made a stuffed cube. It is a perfect cube. None of them know how he did this. He can't thread a needle to save his life though, he has to keep asking Janus to do it for him

Roman: Was crying because he tried something much too complicated and failed and Janus had to gently coax him back to the workspace and help him make a simpler design and assure him he wasn't a failure and the second design turned out and he was really happy with it and thanked Janus for not giving up on him and Janus just gave him a little smile
