I have a feeling Logan isn't good at shapeshifting because he overcomplicates it. Like the atoms and organs and he hates having his body be fantastical
EXACTLYY YOU GET ME. also here is MORE tss body horror hc's that werent in the og post:
logan: if hes in an "unrealistic" body [think: puppet logan] for any long amount of time, he will break down, as he starts asking questions. how is he sentient and aware? how is he breathing? after a while, he'll end up as a gory puddle of pure panicked breakdown and one of the twins will have to fix him. he'll usually end up Checking his own organs after this. just to make sure.
patton: though the inside is.. uh. Pretty Simple. he has one organ: the heart! it is exactly what a 5 year old would think a heart is. it Beats Too :D. also, any "sharp" parts of him (aka teeth and nails) are.. Soft, like Plastic. sometimes they will come loose. their will be No Blood. it makes logan Viscerally Uncomfortable.
roman: though his body is Perfect, as previously mentioned, when hes alone.. hes willing to play with it. make it art. hes cried tears of blood before. sometimes, whenever he feels too fake, he'll take himself apart. just to make sure. just to make sure. (him and logan are alike in too many ways)
virgil: he is a glass canon. his body is fragile, any stray thought he has is susceptible to hurting him (what if im having a heart attack? what if this cut hit a vein?) but. whenever he feels the other sides are in danger? he is horrifically strong. like a parent with a child in danger, he will punch hard enough to break someone but shatter his arm in the process.
janus: though he tries his best to hide it, remus and virgil Know intimately how sick he is. sometimes, he gets poisoned with his own venom and seizes up for hours. in the winter, hes in and out of consciousness, with no rhyme or reason. he gets wild mood swings too, occasionally loosing the ability to feel affection for hours or days, as snakes cant feel that. it terrifies him.
remus: besides logan and janus, his body is painfully realistic. he takes it farther though. his shapeshifting is never.. clean. its all disgusting and gross and like shoving all his organs and bones into a new bag and all the terrible consequences that come with that. as well, he doesnt heal instantly like the other sides. no. he lets it stay as long as it takes.
Wow ! Combining 2 of my biggest hyperfixations together?? Why haven't I done this sooner??
Omori au which Patton takes on the role of Mari! I have everyones roles figured out and it just so happens theres 6 of the main cast of both! Maybe I'll keep posting about this au but for now here's Patton!
i'll share a proper lineup later but here is a loose idea of my designs for them!! my patton and janus did not turn out remotely how i imagine them but im brave and strong so i will share anyways
this HUGE crowd of people thats definitely here right now
SOMEBODY
broke my grandma's vase
and that was the last thing she gave to me before she DIED
i swear to all things football and or skateboarding that i will find you
dont make me cry these incredibly manly tears.
anyone can speak up here and be a apart of this scene, especially those of us who arent imagined and actually here on the stage like not the people who are imagined to be here through means of suspension of disbelief
[I do not understand theater]
VERY WELL I SHALL COUNTINUE SEARCHING FOR THE CULPRIT IN THE NEXT ROOM...
I was thinking about the 5 year anniversary video and
it is interesting to me how Patton kind of decided for Logan what his role in the "family" would be. all the other sides chose it themselves, but he didn't get to.
even when he actively objects it's played for laughs and never addressed. this happened too when Patton revealed his name for him, and I just think it's interesting to note that after all these years, Logan still never gets to decide anything when it comes to Thomas, or even himself, to an extent. it's just kind of decided for him and he is expected to just go along with it, similar to how it was when Thomas dyed his hair.
ik it's mainly a "haha wine mom" moment, but that doesn't take away from how angsty it gets when you think about it.
