My Heart Is Doing Backflips Oml

My heart is doing backflips oml

I thought I’d make this a fic but it’s apparently not gonna be one so I’ll just tell you this hc I have

Remember back in the Q&A when the sides got asked what they do to unwind after a hard day and Virgil said, “I usually go and sit on a surface that isn’t meant to be sat on. Because when tomorrow comes I will be faced with even more challenges. And I am too overwhelmed to be worrying about what is and is not a chair.” 

I had this idea where the light sides common room used to just have one couch. That was it. Just one couch, big enough for about 3 people. And it was…pretty obvious Anxiety wasn’t really welcome. 

So he’d sit on the floor, or the coffee table, or on the kitchen table, or the counter or even (on a few memorable occasions) the top of the refrigerator, because if he played it up as “I’m choosing to sit in weird places because I’m Edgy™” then it was a little less obvious that he was so unwanted that there wasn’t even a real place for him to sit. 

Then, of course, one day after he was accepted, he came downstairs to find a brand new gray recliner with a black-and-purple plaid blanket draped over the back–AND to find that the old couch had been replaced with a newer, bigger sectional. Not only does he have a place with them now, but he has a choice between sitting right with them or giving himself some space on the overwhelming days. And it’s a little thing maybe, but it means the world, because it means they really are beginning to understand him. 

Anyway just a little thing I thought of! If you feel inspired to write something based on it, you have my permission and blessing to do so! I would just appreciate credit for the idea and a nudge so I can read it if you do! :) 

Thank you so much for the tag, you’re so sweet!

The Orange Side (Sanders Sides)

Hello guys! I have zero clue if this has been done before, but I was speculating on the orange side, and I think I have a hypothesis as to who they may be. I’ve seen a couple of theories, including the ever popular “insanity” theory, but I don’t think I’ve seen anything quite like this. If it’s been done, please let me know! (By the way, this whole post is going to be functioning under the assumption that there are seven sides, the “full rainbow” theory.) I’ve seen a lot of speculation as well about “opposite” or “complementary” sides, which I found to roughly stack up like this:

There’s no dark blue or yellow on mobile im sorry

Roman & Remus

Patton & Deciet

Logan & ...Virgil?

There’s also been a lot of color symbolism and complimentary sides discussions, ending up in some deciding that Virgil and Deciet would be opposites, or something esle to that effect. As true as it seems with Roman and Remus, and as plausable a theory as it could be for the others, I don’t believe this to be true.

Let’s forget about colors for a second, let’s focus on opposites. If we look at the most basic traits that each side embodies, I think we can sync up some opposites:

“Good” and “bad” creativity

“Good” and “bad” morals

Now, an argument can be made as well for Logan and Virgil to be “good” and “bad” thinking, or something along those lines, but I feel in this case that would both disrupt the color theory that seemed to fit everyone so nicely together, and leave the orange side as a free floating dark side/other. While plausible, it didn’t really seem to make as much sense as it should have to me.

Now, take a moment to consider the light sides themselves. They’re all emotive, and seem to represent (to an extent) emotions, something that becomes a little bit of a grey zone when you look to the dark sides/others. All of them are emotion based, except Logan. And if there are supposed to be seven sides, one would expect there to be as close to an even split between light and dark as is possible. But seven doesn’t divide evenly into two parts, and someone is going to sway the balance to light or dark/other.

Unless that’s not how it works at all. Unless logic isn’t really a “light” side, it’s actually it’s own thing. If you think about it, it (maybe) makes sense. You have three “sets” of counterparts, all deciding your actions, trying to help you live your best life. And you have one more facet, your own Logan. Logan has been the one to figuratively “take down” both Deciet and Remus, and if you count the debate, he helped sway Virgil as well. He’s been the only one able to “keep the peace”. Logan has also been accused of defending dark sides in the past.

It doesn’t make sense for him to have one distinct “opposite”. Rather, I believe his job is to keep the peace, not to counteract a “bad” emotion. And what is the opposite of logic? Emotion itself.

Hear me out on this, I know it sounds crazy. I think that the orange side might be a light side, something akin to confidence. This might be a flimsy theory written up stream of consciousness style, but I think if someone who actually knew what they were talking about looked into this a bit, it might be plausable.

If this was true, this would be more or less what the sides and their counterparts would look like:

Logan

Roman & Remus

Patton & Deciet

Orange Side & Virgil

I know that Virgil is technically a light side now, and that would sway the balance quite a lot. But he started as a dark side. And maybe it’s the same with this orange side, maybe they’ve been swayed just the way he has. Maybe they’re conceited or narcissistic now, maybe they’re something akin to insanity. I don’t know, I’m just screaming into the void here. Might edit this later.

If you can disprove my theory or just want to tack on something of your own, I’d love to see other’s thoughts about it!

here’s the thing: even if i, personally, don’t love your stories, i love that you’re out there making them. 

we’re better together. fandom wouldn’t exist with people like you & me to create and consume.

and the more pots you make, the better they are, so keep writing. keep creating. keep playing. 

Comments give me LIFE. Sometimes I get inspiration from them too, they really give me even more of an incentive to write than I already have. :D
