so i was just browsing yt and i came across a video by jacksepticeye where he donated to small twitch streamers, and i though “huh... i mean im kinda poor but maybe i can go to streamers who have like no viewers and leave some nice chat messages or something” and GUYS
You get such a dopamine rush by seeing these people smile and say thanks for following or whatever, it’s so nice seeing these people so happy and content in their small community
like i found this nice older woman in the music category who is like streaming on twitch and another streaming service on 1 viewer and after she finished singing her song she said “thank you, a girlwhowrites... 6, which is what you call yourself, ahah, for the follow. :)” and i hirweorew i think ive found a new hobby, i highly recommend doing this
Made-up fic title: Forget-me-not Blue (Have a lovely day!)
Cannonverse Time-Loop, platonic DLAMP and Demus, Janus centric
So after Putting Others First ends, Patton suggest Janus come to breakfast with the light sides the next day. It will give them a chance to explain everything that’s happened to Logan and Virgil, and he and Roman can *dad hint* both apologise and make up after they’ve both had some sleep/ time to cool off.
Jan isn’t so sure it’s going to be that easy to make nice with the others but he’s willing to give it a shot. So he makes a suitably dramatic entrance the next day, appearing in the kitchen whilst the others are setting out breakfast.
It does not go well.
Patton shrieks when he appears, completely surprised. Roman pulls his sword out, Logan scowls and Virgil demands “what the hell do you think you’re doing here Deceit?” Janus looks at Patton expecting him to explain (and kind’ve annoyed he didn’t tell the others he was coming tbh) and Patton looks…scared. And just as confused as everyone else. After standing there in awkward silence for a moment Vigil snaps out something like ‘don’t you think things are already stressful enough with the stupid wedding today without you showing up?”
Which - the stupid wedding today? Janus checks the calendar on the fridge. And then goes back to his room to check his own calendar. It’s April 13th. Again.
So the first repeat Jan manages to convince himself that he dreamt the first April 13th. He always tries to plan out his various schemes/interactions with people so meticulously- maybe he’s just doing it in his sleep now (it would explain the whole giant frog thing). But he goes through the whole day and it’s identical to his ‘dream’ (including the giant frog thing). And at the end of it he wakes up and its April 13th again.
By loop 3 he decides this is Romans fault. He’s the only one who left the discussion in the original timeline unhappy, and as creativity he’s a pretty powerful side - he cant affect the real world but he could potentially create a fantasy ‘time loop’ scenario in the imagination and stick Janus in it. He spends multiple loops trying to keep Roman happy, stalking him to see if he does…something… after the discussion to cause the loop (he never does), learning as much as he possibly can about him (and in the process starts to feel seriously guilty about how his actions in his previous two episodes have affected Roman) and eventually they get to a loop where Roman ends up agreeing and even defending Janus at the end of the discussion. Both of them, Patton and Thomas leave happy and Jan goes to sleep thinking he’s finally fixed it. And then he wakes up and it’s April 13th.
He decides maybe it’s not Roman. He goes through a very similar process with Patton, then Logan, he pulls Virgil into the discussion (which blows up SPECTACULARLY the first 6 or so run throughs) and does the same thing with him, learning more and more about them each time. The (60th? 200th? he has lost track completely) loop, everything is perfect. Virgil joins in the post wedding discussion. Logan get’s to say his piece, in person, with everyone listening to him. Roman understands that he was pushed into making a decision he wasn’t happy with and that no one blames him. Patton is able to understand that it’s okay to not know everything, and that its unfair for Thomas and the others to expect him to, without turning into a giant frog. Janus reveals him name and no one laughs. They all leave as friends.
He wakes up and it’s April 13th.
He goes to their breakfast again. Flips the table over and bursts into tears. He’s tired.
He’s able to convince them he’s in a time loop by telling them things they’ve told him in previous loops. This is the first time he’s asked for help and is a bit shocked when they agree. After suggesting multiple ideas that he has already tried Logan suggests Thomas could be the problem - not during the discussion that Janus has been focusing on but somthing that happened during the rest of his day.
So, montage of Jannus trying to fix everying that Thomas does that day. With ideas ranging from ‘get off your fucking phone and talk to someone at this wedding you sad sack of sh*t” to “ring the callback people at 6 am and tell them you changed your mind. DO IT DO IT DO IT”. Nothing works.
One loop (83? 356? he has no idea) whilst Janus is lieing face down in a bowl of cereal and the others are brainstomring ideas he has already tried, Virgil laughs and says it’s a shame Jan got caught up in a time loop and not him. Janus frowns at him
“what?”
“well…. you can literally say or do whatever you want and there’s no consequences. Even if you say something stupid everyone will have forgotten by the next day. It’s…kinvde my dream honestly”
“…huh.”
SO, comedy montage of Janus living all of his best lives. He flings a ‘The Office’ DVD box set at Thomas’ head whilst screaming SELF CARE BITCH. He traps everyone in the theatre and performs a choreographed rendition of razzle dazzle to slightly confused applause. He spends entire days naked. He invents a new cocktail. He unleashes the orange side and watches the chaos whilst lazing on the sofa in a face mask. He snogs all the other sides at LEAST once each. He heads to Remus room and enlists him transform the whole mindscape into a beach. After spending the day building sand castles (or sand brothels in Remus’ case) and watching the other sides battle a kraken Remus grins at him and says
“That was fun! What do you wanna do tomorrow?”
And Jan kind’ve sighs and shrugs because he really should be getting back to trying to fix this whole mess..and Remus scowls and says “oh right. You’ll want to be getting back to your real best friends”
Jan frowns. “You’re my best friend idiot”
Remus rolls his eyes. “Yeah. That’s why it’s taken one hundred and eighteen Aprils 13ths for you to even come and see me”.
Janus stares at him. He hadn’t told Remus about the time loop when he came to him with the beach plan.
His original idea about creativity being the only side who might be able to cause this?
Looks like he wasn’t wrong after all.
Remus, desperate not to loose his only friend after Jan started making nice with the light sides, has either consciously or subconsciously trapped them both in this time loop on the last day where they were both ‘dark sides’.
And with Remus quickly running away after their conversation, Janus still doesn’t know how to fix it.
For the fake fic titles asks (please do NOT send me anymore to do for now)
so I know I promised this ages ago but I finally got around to actually making a blueprint of the temple. there are going to be a lot of screenshots because this was a big blueprint and it wouldn't have been clear from one large image so I'm going to put all of them under a read more
Main Overview
This is the general overview of the main layout of the temple. The website I was using compressed the annotation boxes a lot so if you can't read the text in some of them don't worry I'll either post zoomed in screenshots or copy it over with clearer text in the rest of the post. Make sure to click on the images to see them completely!
Also I was not even going to attempt the catacombs on this blueprint creator, but just know the catacombs are essentially a tunnel that circles around the entire temple
Okay I hope that's helpful! Feel free to send me q's about this layout!
ive been in such a good mood all day, like my mouth hurts from smiling this much :P
but like at the same time, even though everything has gone well today (new asides episode, ritas (icecream), playing among us with my older sister and her friends), i still feel like i should be happier. like obviously im happy, but im still so stressed out and it’s hard to focus on my good mood when ive got butterflies in my stomach bc of stress :(
i’ll try to focus on my happiness though!
It’s my birthday!!!! :D
trying to prove a point to Roman
me as a writer: Oh no I can’t write that, somebody else already has
me as a reader: hell yes give me all the fics about this one scenario. The more the merrier
Okay, this never happens. I just sat down for a solid 3 and a half hours and wrote a fic from start to end in a draft format that closely resembles mid-draft as opposed to first draft. My concentration never wavered.
I’m afraid
quick question: is anybody gonna draw anything for mardi gras tomorrow with Remus, Virgil, and Deceit since the mardi gras colors are their theme colors (yellow is close to gold)?
If so plz tag me!! I wanna see that!!!
Was that the face of regret, Janus? I think that's the face of "oh shit things are so bad I wish I could lie to myself right now"
im doing this thing called ~taking a mental health day~ ooooo
also im like slightly sick, but its mostly because im too stressed out to function
(she/her) sanders sides and qsmp fan
