Accidentally Walking In On A Side In The Shower: Janus Version

(There is a see-through glass shower door unless otherwise specified)

Janus: Where'd you put my hat?

Roman, having hung a towel over the glass shower door, knowing this would happen: I don't know what you mean.

Janus: You know I can tell when you're lying, right?

Roman, smugly: Yep.

Janus: Where’d— oh, god, sorry— *sinks out*

Patton, blushing red from head to toe, whispering: Did that just happen?

Janus: Where— nope— *sinks out*

Logan: ?

Janus: Where’d Roman put my hat?

Virgil, invisible behind a black shower curtain: *hiss*

Janus: *hisses back*

Janus: Did Roman tell you where he put my hat?

Remus, for once not wearing clothes like a normal person: No. I still think he took my morning star.

Janus: Hm. *starts to sink out*

Remus: Wh— wait! Is that it?

Janus: This isn’t a porn, Remus. I asked you a question, now I leave.

Remus: It could be…

Janus: No. It literally can’t.

Remus, sighing: I saw it in the freezer.

Janus: Thank you.

Remus, getting a new idea: If you get it out now, it might take a minute to defrost.

Janus: You’re stubborn, you know that?

Remus: :(

Janus: I’ll be right back

Remus: :D

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

- Finds out my nemesis has a peanut allergy

- Puts peanut oil in my water bottle

- Goes to meet nemesis

- Confesses love

- Drinks peanut oil

- Kisses them

- I've think I've won

- Plot twist

- They planned this

- They aren't allergic to peanuts

- And now we're dating

- Oh shit

Mushroom sky, mushroom sky, whatever could it mean?

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.

Something Occurred To Me

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

Same on the tentacles, holy shit on the art that's fantastic

Well, you could not expect that you will throw out the tea party with the theme of Mad Max and I will not draw Remus for this

Also, to be more lighthearted—

Roman/Remus: Please convince Thomas to do a Minecraft letsplay series sometime. Also please ask Patton why he asked what a ship was/to show you some of that 'neato artwork and writing.'

Janus: Only answer the ones you're comfortable with: How many arms can you have? (Like is six the max?) Are your scales only on your face? Do the gloves serve a purpose other than a fashion statement/symbolism? Where did you get your hat?

Patton: Please, please, please tell the other sides about ships (if you haven't). It would be funny!

Logan: Please teach me more about psychology. If you don't have time then please just tell me what books/texts you have so I can read them.

Virgil: (I'd swap playlists with him. His taste in music seems close to mine. I'd also ask what other Disney movies he recommends because I watched The Black Cauldron and loved it.)

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)

Just Janus Being Relatable In My Band AU Fic

(When nobody else could open the envelope) Janus rolled their eyes, picking up the letter and opening it. "Dear..."

“I feel like Batman. I must go, Gaythem needs me. But Remus you’re coming with me.”

“Oh, I feel the love. I was singing too, where's my hug?”

“I’m not judging you. I’m just, well, judging you."

“If you want to talk, we’re here to listen."

“I’m polyamorous. That's not my thing, I’m still thinking, I just wanted to help move the attention off of you, um, ‘cuz Remus already knows that, um…"

“Put that on your resume. 'You’re good at that,’ Roman Prince."

“Who are these kids? I just wanna talk," Janus said, cracking their knuckles.

“For the record, you're perfectly valid."
