I Miss When People Would Throw Candy At Me From Parades; I'm Far Too Old Now, I Get Passed By.

I miss when people would throw candy at me from parades; I'm far too old now, I get passed by.

To clarify, I am not asking for solutions, or getting upset at parade participants for not throwing candy at me. I am simply saying that I miss it.

Side Theory

Thomas said he's 'all rainbow, all the time,' and we used that as a basis for the orange and green side theories before Remus was revealed and orange was pretty much confirmed, right?

He said this as a joke with him being gay, right?

The gay pride flag is typically seen as just red/orange/yellow/green/blue/purple.

However, Thomas has Patton and Logan: the version with two shades of blue, light and dark. The one closer to the original.

And what's known as the original pride flag (Gilbert Baker's pride flag) itself had eight stripes. Pink/red/orange/yellow/green/blue/blue/purple.

May I introduce a new theory:

The Pink Side?

Remus, clothes shopping: These pants make me feel like Harry Styles, but not in a fun & sexy way.

Patton: What?

Logan: They're too bunchy around the hip/thigh area, got it.

Remus: Yeah, I don't have the hips for these.

(Several days later)

Remus, shooting up in the middle of the night: THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HIGH-RISE!

Logan. "Why don't you believe ghosts are real?"

Janus. "I've never seen one."

Logan. "Okay, I mean, there's a lot of things that you can't see that you— that are real."

Janus. "What can't I see?"

Logan. "You can't see gravity, that's real."

Janus. "Yeah, I can drop an apple."

Logan. "Fuck."

Just Roman Being Relatable In My Band AU Fic

"We— wait, when did it get so dark outside?”

"I fucked up here, didn’t I?”

“This is it. This tells us if we get to play at the festival, in front of people, or not. ...I can't open it.”

Roman competed at a few games, whined about how they were rigged, and then was immediately shown up by Virgil as he nailed them. He pouted until the next game, and then the cycle continued.

“I don't know about anyone else, but I feel like I’m pretty obvious about my sexuality."

“Are they in a cult?”

“Okay, I’m asking now: What else can you do? What other special powers do you have? What else are you incredibly good at?”

"Mine’s not as deep or anything, but I’ve never actually dated anyone. I have this reputation for being loved by everyone and having had a bunch of relationship experience, but I’ve never even kissed anyone before."

(What are you going to do, threaten them?) “No, I’ll have Remus threaten them, because he’s much more intimidating than me. I’m about as scary as a sprig of rosemary.”

"I’m scared that when anyone gets close, they'll realize they don't love me and just leave."

Me: Okay, let's go through this again. Spell his name?

My brain: S-A-P-N-A-P.

Me: And how do you say his name?

My brain: Sap-Nap.

Me: Again, slower.

My brain: Sap. Nap.

Me: Good. Now, what's his name?

My brain: Hehehe Snapnap

Me: NO

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

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

(Quality addition right here. Also:)

Logan: Oh well, won't stop me from trying! *continues suffocating him*

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!
