Remember, a doctor is a person YOU pay because they know a lot about bodies in general, to help you figure out whats best for YOUR body. It is still your body, not theirs! They know about medicine but you are the expert in your body. Don’t let them act like they own you. Don’t leave if you’ve still got questions, don’t stay if you’re uncomfortable, and feel free to insist on ANY information you want.
Admin: Hello! This is a blog that has already existed for a while and i used to use for rp, but i don’t much anymore so i decided to use it for a different rp. This blog will be a part of an already going rp i’m doing over at @anxiouslyvirgil. It’s basically just Virgil posting about his housemates (Roman, Logan, Patton, Dee, and Remy) and all the stuff that goes on in his day-to-day life. I dub it a college AU since they’re all housemates because they all go to the same college.
This blog will be pretty much the same thing but from Logan’s point of view. I’ll do my best not to make them repetitive
SO some things you should know if you’re new:
Logan and Roman are a couple
Virgil and Patton are a couple
They’re all either sophomores or juniors in college (i honestly can’t remember)
Please read the Rules and Disclaimers over on the virgil’s blog. It just sets some boundaries for my own comfort and to make sure we’re all on the same page. i’d appreciate it if you followed them.
Everything on the rules post applies to both blogs, even if the wording favors the virgil one. just replace his name with Logan’s.
And I’m Specs! Yes i know that’s a nickname for Logan, but it’s also what i go by on Tumblr so...yeah. Let’s try to avoid the confusion when we can, lol.
You can find me over at @sanders-specs so if you reply to a post and i reply back you know it’s me since this is just a side blog and tumblr doesn’t let you reply to posts on your side blog.
About Logan
His parents are controlling and emotionally abusive (feel free to ask him more about it, and i will be tagging it as #tw emotional abuse for those of you who want to block it)
The boy loves space
He’s stubborn and short tempered sometimes
He’s got a little sibling he absolutely loves and will do just about anything for
He’s a giant sucker for Roman
He cares very very deeply about all of his housemates even if he won’t show it
He can’t flirt to save his life, but boy does he try because it makes Roman happy
He’s asexual
About Virgil
He fucking adores Patton, man, like...so much
He’s a little whiny but most of the time it’s all in good fun
He is also stubborn and short tempered at times, though not quite like Logan
He and Dee don’t get along that well and argue a lot
He cares about all of his housemates, though, even Dee
His parents love him but sometimes a little too much. Like when he’s sick or hurt they get a little controlling over his care
this bothers Patton to no end and annoys Virgil
Sometimes he doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut
He’s gay
“Everyone you meet is fighting a fight you know nothing about.
Be kind.
Always.”

In my eyes, good conversation is the birthplace of true attraction. So open up and share with me every encounter and experience that shaped you into who you are today. Tell me all about your hopes and dreams and captivate me with your passions. Arouse my curiosity and you'll have my attention.

Hi Logan! I was wondering if you could tell me what it is like living with the others? And, I see you very much like crofters, so what is your favorite flavor?
Living with the others is like living in a zoo. Sometimes you never see anyone, and then sometimes everyone is out and then the entire place becomes a mess and usually some strange concoction gets made in the kitchen, usually something Roman or Remy or Virgil come up with.
As for your second question, I do have a particular fondness for regular strawberry however all of Crofters Jam is good. There is not a flavor I would turn down
We are all but dust and dirt
Nothing more than the ground we walk on
But for this brief time we are glorious,
Magnificent creatures given a chance to see the stars
Place your bare feet on the grass
And breathe in the air around
Dip your hands into a cold lake
Feel the heat of a raging fire
Let the rain run down your hair
And bathe in the morning light
With every sunrise we’re given a gift
A chance to be better than yesterday
So take a step no matter how small
And make someone smile before you go
From a world where every moment
Can be worth more than drops of pure gold

(i'm new so sorry if someone already said this) You say you don't have emotions, but Roman's your boyfriend which means you must love him in someway but love is a emotion and is also linked with other emotions such as happiness and compassion and may lead to jealousy and anger so how do you explain that??
It is not that I do not have emotions, it is that I do not let my emotions rule over every part of myself like some others do. I prefer to think rationally rather than emotionally, which I suppose can come off as if I do not “feel” anything.
However with Roman it is quite...difficult to think with anything but my emotions at times. Everything about my relationship with him is new and strange to me, so I am still figuring out the difference between my emotional responses versus my rational responses.
((Hi friend! Sorry for taking so long to reply, tumblr isn’t sending me notifications for asks for whatever reason. In case you haven’t already check out the what this is all about and rules and disclaimers posts. Let me know if you have any questions too!))
