Remus: Just stepped out of the shower while Janus was playing piano, felt like I was in a very classy movie about to be murdered

Patton: Are you guys okay down there??

Remus, Janus, and Virgil: No.

Roman: More importantly, Remus, you shower?

Remus: Of course!

Janus: He rolls around in volcanic ash like a chinchilla.

Roman: Oh. Uh, why?

Remus: I'm allergic to soap! :D

Roman, Logan, Patton, Thomas: ...

Remus: :DDD

Patton, trying his best: That's nice kiddo

So let's say the sides are at the party and they have a female friend. How would they react (as a group) if she said that some guy is not taking no for an answer and making her feel unsafe?

Roman, immediately taking charge: Which one is he?

Friend: Are you going to intimidate him?

Roman: No, I'm going to have Remus intimate him, I'm about as threatening as a sprig of rosemary.

Remus, looming behind Roman: Which one is he?

Friend: *points him out*

Remus, taking Janus with him: *heads in that direction*

Logan: *follows, so they don't do something they'll regret*

Patton, wrapping an arm around her if she's okay with that: Are you alright? Do you want to leave?

Friend: If you don't mind...

Patton: Of course we don't. You're more important than any dumb party.

Virgil: Yeah, I located all the exits when we first got here, the quickest one that doesn't go past him is this way.

Virgil: *leads group to exit*

Patton: *walks beside friend, keeping her close*

Roman: *walks close behind them, making sure nobody tries anything*

Virgil, Patton, Roman, Friend: *safely arrive to their homes/wherever they're headed back to*

Remus, Janus, Logan: *show up about an hour later, Remus with bruised knuckles that he refuses to explain, though he might have already had them, no one's totally sure*

Friend: How'd it go?

Janus: For us? Well. We won't have to worry about him bothering anyone again.

Friend: ...Is he alive?

Janus: Who's to say?

Logan, behind Janus: He's alive. And physically unharmed.

Friend, uncertain: Physically?

Logan, offering no elaboration: Yes.

Roman: *enters kitchen to see Janus sitting at the counter, face in his hands, Patton sitting beside him, rubbing his back, and Logan standing awkwardly in the corner*

Roman: Um... What?

Janus: *sniffling*

Roman: Is he crying?

Logan: Yes.

Roman: ...Why?

Logan: Patton convinced him to watch 'My Neighbor Totoro' with him. He...

Janus, through sobs: I thought it was going to be a cute story about a big fluffy rabbit-bear and it ripped out my heartstrings and used them to string a lute and then played it right in front of me!

Patton: *comforting intensifies*

Logan: That.

Roman: Right... I'm gonna go.

Logan: Take me with you.

I had a dream there was a new halloween-themed Sander Sides and it was revealed that Janus kept Remus on a golden chain attached to a black o-ring collar around his neck

He held it loosely in his hand but if Remus starting giving intrusive thoughts he'd tug on it and like make him behave and everyone was like 'oh thank god he's under control'

It was weird but that'd be hilarious so here's hoping I have the gift of prophecy

The Sides Camping (Based On A True Story)

Patton: *drops his hotdog in the dirt*

Patton: :(

Patton: *gets a new hotdog*

Remus: Don't waste a perfectly good hotdog

Remus: *washes the hotdog in the nearby creek and cooks it*

Remus: Here

Patton: ...No thanks I'm good

Remus: Okay

Remus: *eats hotdog*

Virgil, Roman: *horror*

Logan: Don't worry, he cooked it, it's perfectly safe

Virgil: WHAT IF IT WASN'T??

Roman: I know that, but WTF, REMUS?

Janus: *watches and laughs and christens it The River Dog*

Patton: *now brings it up every camping trip*

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."

TS El Dorado

If there was a Sander Side Themed The Road To El Dorado, these are the best pairings I can think of (ignoring the ships it implies)—

Roman as Miguel, Logan as Tulio, Janus as Chel

Remus as Miguel, Janus as Tulio, Virgil/Dark!Logan as Chel

And if I had to put them all as characters—

Janus: Chel (master of deception, the entire reason Miguel and Tulio get away with their lives, the only one in the trio with a braincell count in the double digits)

Logan: Speaker For The Gods dude (was adhering to the rules/lore that had been written, tried to bring down the liars who dared to impersonate gods by going batshit evil, 'being feared is the only way you can get them to respect you')

Remus: The King (sharp enough to notice Miguel and Tulio are only human, goofy enough to let them pretend to be gods because it's really raising his people's spirits and they got rid of The Speaker For The Gods, his rival)

Roman: The Horse (he's just along for the drama, baby)

Patton: Miguel (nice, friendly, hates that the villagers are scared of him, doesn't have a voice in his head, no braincells just a himbo)

Virgil: Tulio (wants to finish the plan and get out, much more anxious than Miguel, comes up with all the excuses to get them out of trouble, has like seven braincells but not all of them work at the same time)

THE BOYS HAVE BEEN BEANED!

Logan: I saw online today, someone freaking out about how you bake cookies and cook bacon.

Janus: Yeah, I never got that whole thing. I mean, you bake bacon.

Logan: ...Pardon?

Janus:

Janus: Do

Janus: Do you

Janus: Do you not bake bacon in the oven on a cookie sheet

Logan: No?? You fry it??

Janus: But it gets so crispy and nice ?? Why would you fry it???

Logan: *looks to Remus*

Remus: Don't look at me, I've had Janus's bacon. It's superior.

Logan: But that's not how it's done??? No bacon recipe says to bake it?

Janus: Oh I don't follow recipes exactly

Logan: But thEY'RE RULES

Janus: I mean recipes are really just suggestions when you have enough experience

Logan: (head explodes because oh my god everything Janus makes tastes so good and he's not even using recipes—)

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."

Patton. "I wonder what's in that closet. Nope, don't even check."

Remus. "I'll check. What if I open this and a thousand rattlesnakes jump out?"

Patton. "Then I'm gonna run."

Remus. "Alright. Let's boogie, boys!" (Opens closet.) "It's a mattress. And dirt."

(Later)

Patton. "What's in this one?"

Remus. "This is fun, because now you have to open this door, because I opened that one. What if you pick the wrong one and there's like a, a clown with a decaying face in there?"

Patton. (Mocking) "'What if you pick the wrong one and there's a fucking clown with a decaying face in there?'"

Logan. "Open the door. Stop joking."

Patton. (Pause) "What if— Okay, I'm running, just letting you know."

Remus. Oh my god.

Janus. What?

Remus. It's a fucking dead bird.

Janus. What? Oh, that's an omen, or something.

Patton. Why is there a dead bird in here?

Logan. There was probably a live bird in here and then something happened that made it dead.

Remus. Oh. Great analysis, doc. Oh Jesus, it's all rotted and it's eyes are gone, this is horrifying.

Logan. Well, its eyes aren't gonna stick around.

Concept: Janus tries to teach the other sides to sew (I've been sewing a lot and this is all I can think of)

Remus: Is doing pretty well, has continued to stab needles and sewing scissors into his eyes so his workspace is a bit bloody, you can tell he is making an octopus though

Virgil: Refuses to use a sewing machine because it scares him (a very reasonable fear), uses thimbles, it's slow and clumsy but he makes a pretty cool stuffed stormcloud in the end

Patton: Is doing surprisingly well! He keeps stabbing his fingers with needles on accident and drawing blood (not much though), he ends up with a cute little blob frog that's definitely friend-shaped

Logan: He watched Janus sew once and immediately got the hang of it. He made a stuffed cube. It is a perfect cube. None of them know how he did this. He can't thread a needle to save his life though, he has to keep asking Janus to do it for him

Roman: Was crying because he tried something much too complicated and failed and Janus had to gently coax him back to the workspace and help him make a simpler design and assure him he wasn't a failure and the second design turned out and he was really happy with it and thanked Janus for not giving up on him and Janus just gave him a little smile

Alternative to 'Working Through Intrusive Thoughts' Episode (no spoilers)

Janus: *sewing peacefully*

Janus: *cuts thread*

Remus: Y'know, those scissors are really sharp. You could poke them in your eye right now. Not even too hard, just cut your lenses. Do you think that would bleed? What would your vision look like? Would it leave a scar or make your eye look weird and blob-like? Or would it be foggy?

Janus, handing him a beanbag frog: This is for you.

Remus:

:0

Remus, squishing it: He,,, he bean,,, he sound like bean,,,

Do you take headcanon requests? If you do I have one.

Headcanon request: The sides if a girl (maybe a stranger who thinks they look safe) asks them to hold her drink while she goes to the bathroom at like a party or something?

Absolutely, I think you're asking for their individual reactions (tell me if I'm misunderstanding) so here we go—

Roman: *guards drink with his life, glares at anyone who gets near it, is very over-the-top*

Janus: I'm a stranger. Why would you ask me to watch your drink? You should just forget about this one and get a new one once you're back so you know for certain it's safe. Or don't drink at parties. You never know who you can trust.

Remus: Yeah sure *sets it on top of head, holding onto it still* No one can reach it up here

Patton: Oh of course! You go ahead I've gotcha

Logan: No. You shouldn't give a stranger your drink. I could drug it for all you know. Take it with you, leave it with a friend, or get a new one after.

Virgil: Uhhh

Virgil, internally: Oh god what if I accidentally drug it?? I don't have any drugs but what if I do? I'd go to prison! I could hurt her!

Virgil: *shoves Roman in front of him* He can watch it!

Embarrassing Music #3

Roman, having recovered: Okay, so I didn't catch Virgil, but someone else has to listen to embarrassing music. Let me think...

Roman: So, Remus and Patton don't get embarrassed about that stuff. I doubt Logan listens to music with words anyway. So... What, D— Janus? What does he even listen to?

Roman: (imagines Janus sitting at a table sipping tea while a classical waltz plays in the background)

Roman: I mean, that might be worse than dancing, especially if he's alone.

Meanwhile, in the dark side:

Remus:

WE'LL SET THE SKY ON FIRE

Janus:

WE'LL PUT THE NIGHT AWAY

Both:

WE'LL BE MADE OF STARS

Janus:

WE'RE GONNA TAKE YOU HIGH

Remus:

YOU'RE GONNA FEEL THE FLAMES

Both:

WE'LL BE MADE OF STARS

WE'RE GONNA LIGHT IT UP WOAH-OH-OH-OH

WE'RE GONNA LIGHT IT UP WOAH-OH-OH-OH

Incorrect Quotes: The Sides As Things My Dad Has Said

(I wrote down who actually said the quote if it wasn't him)

(Yeah, you fell off the wagon.)

Remus: "Fell off the wagon? I dragged that wagon into the woods and burned it."

Janus: "I should go get some cheese do go into all the whine in here."

(Where'd you hear that?)

Janus: "Like every movie ever."

Remus: "You just sprinkle some lime over it— lime could cover the scent of a dead body."

Logan (my brother): "And lye could dissolve it."

Virgil: "I love it up here. Like, here is like where you can sprinkle my ashes."

Roman: "(County)? I– That's where I go hunting for antelope. There's like six people and four skunks that live there."

Janus: "He was talking to the chairman of the committee of bullshit."

Patton: "A platypus looks like a beaver ran into a duck."

Roman: "Oh yeah— Do I still need to impress you?"

Virgil (my mother): "Every day until we die."

Remus: "Even a blind pig finds an acorn in its shit every once in a while."

Patton, completely unprompted: "You ever seen a pig in a french fry hat?"

Janus: "Milford, Nebraska: Where the men are men and sometimes the women are too."

Patton, severely allergic to bees (my mother): "Ah! Close it! There are bees in it!"

Remus, holding jar of honey: "It's fresh!"

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)

Had a dream the (pink? orange? I can't remember) side was just one of the sides that was already there but like revealed themselves just then

Sorta like Janus's 'I am and always have been Patton' except actually true

Their outfit changed and stuff but they looked the same

(That's relevant because for some reason this side was played by Valerie not Thomas)

(To be clear all the other sides were played by Thomas and this side had always been played by Valerie and nobody acknowledged it)

...Is this showing who each other's counterpart is?

Because intrusive thoughts can be incredibly immoral, anxiety defies all logic, and creativity/expressing yourself can be stifled by your need to keep yourself safe...

Or am I overthinking everything haha

logan and virgil with the jacket…… roman and janus with the lipstick………………. if patton and remus share something im gonna lose it

Objectively, the dumbest things the sides have done in my fics (not taking into account why they did them) (TW)

Roman: Threw himself down a staircase

Orange: Kissed Logan years after they broke apart their mutually toxic relationship

Janus: Fell off a cliff (and just barely caught himself)

Remus: Made a painting with his own blood

Patton: Agreed to go on a long hike with his friends when he's never been able to before (and was out of breath by the top of the first hill and had to be carried by Remus)

Logan: Realized wayyy too late that Remus (his best friend and previous roommate) and Roman (his friend and current roommate) were brothers

Edit: I remembered Logan got high and followed a hallucination off a cliff (into water luckily), so I think that's dumber XD

Virgil: Met Roman and in less than a minute, in his second sentence spoken to him, called him out for self-harming

Logan: Just wrote 'he had sawn it coming.' To bed with me

Janus: At least that's pronounced differently.

Logan: Just wrote offly instead of awfully. Can you tell I'm exhausted?

Janus: Yes, because this is a verbal conversation so I don't have any idea what you're talking about.

Logan: ...

Logan: I'm going to bed.

Janus: Good choice.

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

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

Virgil: Have you seen my headphones?

Patton: I haven't, sorry kiddo, I’ll tell you if I see them

Virgil: Thanks

Virgil: Have you seen my headphones?

Logan: No. I will inform you if I do.

Virgil: Thanks

Virgil: Have you se— Roman?

Roman, frozen:

Virgil: Um, hey? You alright?

Roman: *squeak*

Roman: *falls over*

Virgil: ...Well we don't have time to unpack all of that *sinks out*

Virgil: H—

Janus: No, whatever you're going to ask, I don't, I haven’t, whatever, the answer is no. Now will you people let me soak in peace?

Virgil: *hiss*

Janus: *hisses back*

Virgil: Have you seen my headphones?

Remus, fully clothed, thoughtfully: I had headphones once. They were crunchy.

Virgil: …Please tell me you didn't eat my headphones.

Remus: No, I don't like the black flavor.

Virgil, used to this: Alright
