@analoginceweek Day Five: “Here is where we shall stay.”

Story below! (Part two to Day Four)

“Hey, Virge, I need to go, Thomas is getting tired and I’m on dream duty tonight.” Roman informs Virgil of his situation. “Can… can you stay here and make sure our Perfect Professor is okay?”

“Nice alliteration… and yeah. Don’t worry, I’ll stay.” Virgil mumbles that last sentence more to himself than to Roman, but the prince gets the message regardless, and appears grateful as he pecks Virgil’s lips, causing the latter’s eyeshadow to quickly turn a sparkly purple color before he pulls away, lightheartedly slapping Roman’s arm. “You dork!”

“Haha! You know you love me, Virgil!” Roman playfully winks at him and Virgil’s face flushes when he finds that he can’t refute that claim. So he responds with a simple roll of his eyes. “I- oh, crap, I gotta go. You’ll be okay here?” Roman asks quickly, and when he gets a nod in response, he kisses Virgil’s cheek. “Bye V, tell Logan I said bye, I love both of you!” Roman takes a bow and sinks out.

Drama prince.

Virgil sits outside of Logan’s room for about 2 minutes before Logan finally opens the door, just a crack. Virgil jumps in surprise, looking at the door to find that Logan had in fact opened it… but Logan isn’t in the position that he had hoped. He still looked sad but on top of that, his eyes were a bright orange color, a sign that Virgil knew the significance of. “Logan…?” Virgil slowly speaks, trying not to provoke him.

Upon hearing Virgil say his name, Logan bursts into tears and falls down to his knees, babbling incoherent apologies to Virgil’s surprise. “I’m so- sorry- sor-” Logan practically chokes on his own sobs, prompting Virgil to kneel beside him and place his hands on Logan’s shoulders, observing the dark eyeshadow under Logan’s eyes. “L-Logan, hey, hey. Shhhh… look at me.” Virgil is unable to keep his own voice from shaking as he tries to get Logan’s attention, but Logan miraculously looks up at Virgil, breaking his heart with his terrified expression. “Do something for me. I want you to name five things you can see.” Virgil instructs, surprising Logan with the exercise that Logan had guided Virgil through before.

Shaking somewhat violently, Logan’s eyes shoot around the room, trying to decide what to say. “I-I can see… my- my bookshelf, I see… I s-see your s-sweatshirt… and your shirt… and I also see the lights in my room… and my blanket… was that five…?” Logan asks, gently fidgeting with the strings of Virgil’s hoodie, causing a warm smile to appear on Virgil’s face.

“Well done, Logan, that was five, very good.” Virgil praises Logan, keeping his hands steady on Logan’s shoulders, his own anxiety dying down with Logan’s success, which seems to also help Logan feel better. “Four things you can touch?”

As Logan continues through the exercise with Virgil’s guidance, Logan slowly finds himself being more and more grounded, and at the exercise’s conclusion, his newly orange eyes gaze into Virgil’s purple ones with hesitance, yet still with admiration. “You… you remembered.” Logan observes.

“Of course I did.” Virgil assures. “I still use that exercise a lot when I start feeling overwhelmed by my anxiety. It’s nice to have different options, know what I mean?” Logan nods wordlessly. Virgil looks at Logan’s eyes, then down at his hands as he takes them in his own, finally observing the elephant in the room. “So… he’s been bothering you.”

Logan averts his gaze, tears threatening to fall again as he nods. “He has… but not just him.” Logan starts, trying to find the courage to tell Virgil what had happened. Virgil, seeming to understand Logan’s feelings, squeezes his hands in order to give Logan the reassurance he needs. It proves successful as Logan continues talking. “When… when Thomas was cleaning, Remus showed up and started doing… doing his thing. I gave Thomas different methods to make himself feel better about how Remus was bothering him, but then he… he…” Logan clears his throat in an attempt to continue speaking. Nothing happens when he tries again. He clears his throat and tries to speak again. Nothing happens.

“What did Remus do, Logan?” Virgil asks, being as gentle with his question as possible, and struggling to hide his surprise when Logan yells. “HE MADE ME MAD! I- … I felt… so angry. He was ignoring me when I was trying to talk some sense and it felt like my blood was burning. And then he was right! The second that Nico called Thomas, Thomas started completely ignoring my efforts to tell him that implementing this damn schedule!” Logan rises, pulls out the schedule he had worked so hard to create with Thomas, a relic of how valuable he is, and rips it apart.

Upon seeing Virgil tense up at Logan’s outburst, Logan sighs and sits back down. “I’m sorry, Virgil… I just… I feel…” Logan begins, but trails off. Virgil holds his hand, wanting him to finish speaking. “I f-feel… sad. And mad.” Logan admits, lacking the appropriate emotional vocabulary to put a precise name to his feelings. “And I… something about Roman… he kept making me think about Remus. Like, I would see Roman but also see Remus. And I know that’s terrible! He’s nothing like Remus, I know that! Roman is bright, and intelligent, and funny, and… clean.” Logan looks down, avoiding meeting Virgil’s tense gaze.

“… I get it. When I first came to the light side, Roman did usually, well… remind me of Remus.” Virgil admits. “Granted, I barely knew Roman and I grew up with Remus, but still… We both know how amazing Roman is now, and we know that while he is similar to his brother, he’s different in all the ways that matter. He’s kind, he respects the space of others, he is able to reflect on his actions and take accountability and feel guilt when he makes mistakes, and well… when he makes us angry, there are good intentions behind it, right?” Virgil asks, prompting Logan to nod.

“I had a feeling that my brother was behind this somehow.”

Virgil and Logan both jump in terror realizing that Roman had returned, apparently done with his duties in creating a dream for Thomas. Virgil waves hello, but Logan is frozen as he desperately tries to explain himself to the prince, who was standing in the doorway with his arms crossed and a neutral expression on his face. “Oh my god…” Logan tears up. “Oh god, Roman, I’m so sorry… I swear, I didn’t mean to compare you to Remus, I promise, I… you… you aren’t mad, are you?”

“Mad? Oh I am absolutely furious, but not at you, mi amor.” Roman takes one of Logan’s hands in both of his own. “You haven’t done anything wrong.”

“I… I haven’t? But… I thought I hated when-” Logan starts.

“I hate when people imply that the only thing keeping me from being the evil twin is a mustache.” Roman clarifies with a small jab at Janus. “My brother and I are very similar, Logan, I know that. And I understand that if there are two Creativities, then they will naturally be connected. But you weren’t even comparing us, Logan, you looked at me and you were reminded of an event that really hurt you less than an hour prior.”

Listening to Roman’s voice was enough to completely soothe Logan’s tense body, his shoulders relaxing and his breathing slowing to a relaxed pattern. “May I hold you, Logan?” Virgil smiles, to which Logan snuggles up to him, letting himself be vulnerable in his partner’s arms as Roman maintains his hold on Logan’s hand. “Is there anything I can do to help you?” Roman asks. Logan looks at him, then down at the ripped piece of paper he had left at his feet. He pauses.

“Can you give me some tape?”

@analoginceweek Day Four: “Are you okay?”

Story below! (Warning for angst) (this is part 1 of the story, part 2 I’m saving for tomorrow for day 5)

Logan was glad that the others were happy, he really was. Thomas had been waiting to hear back from Nico all day, and while he had promised Logan that he’d spend the day being productive with him, it still makes sense that upon receiving an invitation to spend time with Nico, Thomas would jump at the opportunity. That wasn’t what bothered Logan.

What bothered Logan was what happened during his encounter with that Duke. Logan expected it to go poorly, it was Remus after all, but this was just… cruel. How Logan had been provoked. How Remus went out of his way to remind Logan of just how little Thomas cared about his advice.

How nauseous Logan felt when he saw the color orange…

Logan forced himself to snap back into reality when Nico would ask Thomas a question, though he wasn’t really paying attention. Roman and Patton seemed to have the situation under control, fairly well too since Virgil was just sitting off to the side, minding his own business. Logan smiled at his fellow sides before making eye contact with Roman, when his smile suddenly breaks, feeling like a liar for ever having smiled in the first place. As little as anyone wanted to admit it, Roman and Remus had many similarities… too many similarities. And thanks to Remus, the concept of creativity made Logan sick to his stomach, a feeling that Logan felt terrible for having in the first place.

“Lo?”

Roman was better than Remus! Roman had been his friend since the logical side had first formed, and had been one of his two boyfriends for, what, 3 years now? Logically, Logan knew that Roman was harmless, especially compared to his brother.

“Logan.”

But the knowledge that if Roman could do something similar to Remus if he so chose made Logan want to vomit. Was his love for Roman fake? No, it couldn’t have been, could it? But Roman hated Janus for comparing him to Remus, will Roman hate him too? He’s not trying to compare him to Remus, he’s really not! It was like a reflex to look at Roman and imagine a mustache where one didn’t exist, as little as Logan wanted to think about it. It was almost… intrusive…

“Logan!” Logan’s spiraling is interrupted by Virgil’s soft hand being placed on his cheek. Despite his trait, Virgil was exceptionally good at calming Logan down when he needed it, not that Logan was the type to ever admit he needs it to begin with.

“Oh, um… yes, Virgil?” Logan asks, trying to act like he wasn’t just picturing Roman as Remus for… how long had he been staring at Roman in horror?

“Are you okay?” Virgil’s quiet voice sounded so damn comforting, despite the fact that Logan hadn’t even planned to tell him anything. It makes him feel like a traitor. He claims to be in love with Virgil and Roman and yet he can’t be honest with them even though he knows how much they hate lies? And even worse, he had betrayed Roman by subconsciously comparing him to the one side he hates being compared to the most? “L-Logan?? Why are you crying, L?”

Logan tightly wraps his arms around Virgil before he can stop himself, which prompts Roman and Patton to also look over with concern before rushing to Logan’s side to comfort him. “My dear, what’s the matter? Did Thomas say something wrong or something?” Roman tries to make eye contact with Logan, who avoids looking up from where he’s buried his face in Virgil’s jacket, desperately avoiding Roman’s gaze. Don’t look at me, Roman, I’m so sorry… I’m the worst boyfriend ever, how could I do that to you? And not even have the courage to tell you about it??

Virgil shoots Patton a pleading look, and Patton gets the message, gently instructing Thomas that it’s time to leave. Thomas, despite his initial disappointment, agrees after a bit of prodding, wishing Nico a good day before leaving to go home. Virgil carries Logan on his back, not wanting to force him to walk when he’s so miserable. Roman tries repeatedly to get Logan to look at him, to no avail, which worries both Virgil and Roman.

As soon as they arrive home, Logan sinks out to go to his room to be alone, leaving Virgil and Roman in a state of confusion and worry for their boyfriend.

OKokok hear me out on this one, Roman/Janus/Virgil I SWEAR ITS GOOD I SWE-

I like the color dynamic of red X purple X yellow, I feel the need to say that

I also really like the angst potential, I’m just waiting for the day they make Janus cry. I know that’s probably not supposed to be the appeal but it’s a good thing I promise

#sanders sides #roman sanders #virgil sanders #janus sanders #i wanna read a fanfic where ro and v spend the whole day shitting on Janus #for character development #and then Jan is like ‘hey guys you actually kinda hurt my feelings’ #and ro and v are like ‘oh sorry it’s a habit are you ok??’

[halfhissandwich]

DUKEXIETY

They hate each other so much. Literal soulmates. :)

I also think Virgil is the only one I legitimately ship Remus with-

#sanders sides #virgil sanders #remus sanders #dukexiety

[halfhissandwich]

what about some intrulogical for me :3

I only really consume Intrulogical fan content when it appears in Moceit content. I think it has story potential, but I’m not super invested in the ship itself. I do think they’d make cool science experiments together tho

#sanders sides #logan sanders #remus sanders #intrulogical

[halfhissandwich]

roceit if you may

This is such a messy breakup dude

I actually liked it a lot until Janus’ name reveal, but Roman’s face when Janus compared him to Remus broke my heart into a million pieces and now I don’t like it :(

#sanders sides #roman sanders #janus sanders #roceit

[halfhissandwich]

Ive actually never thought about platonic roceit, i always thought of them kinda hating each other’s guts but i actually really like roceit as theatre besties now

Also YESSSS MOCEIT HEADCANON!! :D

Idk if I entirely agree with it since both his and Janus’ birthdays are in winter, plus I think Thomas has said that Patton’s favorite season is winter (I don’t remember if it was the Sally Face livestream or on Patreon tho) and plus, I wholeheartedly believe Pat likes to cuddle to warm up his snake bf 🥰

LOGINCEEE

I LOVE LOGINCE

They love to hate each other <3

Personally I like imagining that Roman, Logan and Patton have been friends since early childhood and Logan and Roman would both go to Patton for advice regarding their crushes on each other and Patton is the #1 wingman.

Also Roman canonically shows his love through insults, which I know was intended for prinxiety fuel but it is LOGINCE FUEL FOR ME OKAY

#sanders sides #patton sanders #janus sanders #moceit #this show is gonna be the death of me /pos

[halfhissandwich]

That’s true, but the way Patton softens when Janus starts to take off his glove kinda suggests that Patton (who is Thomas’ empathy, so also Thomas) at least had an idea of Janus’ anxiety regarding the name reveal. But in his defense, Thomas probably wasn’t in the right headspace to even think to shut Roman down. I think it was just a moment of bad context contributing to an otherwise harmless joke really hurting Janus, which made him get defensive and take things way too far. POF was just a series of very unfortunate events 😅

How about logiceit/moloceit? (I forgot the actual shipname, it's patton, logan, and Janus <3)

—💛

LOL IDK THE SHIP NAME EITHER SO I WENT WITH LOGICALICEIT AND I AM STICKING TO IT

Bingo! Listen. I know I don’t vibe with Logicality. But Janus changes EVERYTHING. Maybe not necessarily in a good way, but in a way I really like. He adds some sassiness, and logicality needs some sassiness. Also, Patton is into smart guys, this is what we are discovering. Please someone organize a Logicaliceit week after Analogince week ends, I am begging you 🙏

#sanders sides #patton sanders #logan sanders #janus sanders #logicaliceit #i need more logicaliceit please

[halfhissandwich]

I thought about it differently and I’d like to share my thoughts, sorry for the essay. I think it’s safe to look at Janus’ name reveal as parallel to Virgil’s; both were insecure about their names, both revealed their names in an effort to prove they can be trusted, Roman laughed at both.

For Virgil, Roman had spent the episode mostly just questioning him, but at the end, he was starting to come around and trust him, even doing a whole speech in his defense! When Virgil revealed his name, Roman laughed at it, but Thomas immediately shut Roman down and reassured Virgil that he liked his name.

For Janus, Roman spent the entire episode shitting on him, and the only reason Janus even revealed his name at all is because Roman explicitly said to Thomas “we can’t trust him!” When Janus revealed his name, Roman immediately called it a stupid name and crucially, Thomas didn’t shut him down this time. And I imagine that this absolutely CRUSHED Janus, which is probably why he reacted the way he did.

I don’t think it matters in the situation of Janus’ name reveal if Roman insults things out of affection, I don’t think that would have made any difference whatsoever if Janus knew that ahead of time, because Janus would have been affected the same either way especially since he didn’t get the same treatment Virgil got. Sorry again about the rambling lol

[halfhissandwich]

dukeceit for bingo?

Bingo! I fully believe that they’d get married as a prank despite having a completely platonic relationship, and I love that

Also the angst potential (romantic or platonic) is very much there

#sanders sides #janus sanders #remus sanders #dukeceit

[halfhissandwich]

Bingo on Prinxiety?

-That One Anon Who Likes Sharks FROM THE OTHER BLOG OMG I CAN TELEPORT /hj

You all probably: Oh hey logicality’s sister ship so to speak, I know you’re not a fan of logicality, so I bet you’re not a fan of prinxiety-

Me: NO YOU’RE WRONG PRINXIETY IS A GREAT TIME

Ok I’ll be honest, the fandom used to really turn me against this ship, which is why I ticked that box, but then FWSA happened and now I’m like “okay this is a nice ship, I don’t dislike this at all :)” I just dislike the way the fandom has historically treated them

Plus the fact that they’re currently bonding over hating everyone else (except Logan, they like Logan), that’s really fun XD

#sanders sides #roman sanders #virgil sanders #prinxiety

[halfhissandwich]

unsympathetic moceit? (They’re both unsympathetic)

Oh my god I don’t know how that would practically exist for them both to be unsympathetic and still in love but I fucking love it

#sanders sides #patton sanders #janus sanders #moceit #unsympathetic janus #unsympathetic patton

[halfhissandwich]

ooo how about moceit?

MY FAVORITE SHIP EVER, YOU ALL ALREADY KNOW THIS ABOUT ME

Moceit is what Thomas seems to think Logicality is /hj

Like, I adore Opposites Attract, but Opposites Attract AND Enemies to Lovers?! AND THEY CANONICALLY GO ON DATES VISITS?! AND THEY MAKE EACH OTHER BETTER?!?! CHEF’S KISS!! :D

#sanders sides #patton sanders #janus sanders #moceit

[halfhissandwich]

Loceit?

I like it more than I ever expected to

I haven’t ever gone out of my way to consume Loceit content but I actually really adore it in canon. Janus really admires him in canon and it’s wholesome <3

#sanders sides #logan sanders #janus sanders #loceit

[halfhissandwich]

Intruanalogical? :3

I haven’t ever thought about it! I’m not really big on shipping Remus most of the time so I’m fairly neutral about this
