I resent that statement

who In your house do you think would be the easiest to teach slang/memes too? (not counting the ones who already know)

I don’t think there is an easiest. 

Patton constantly misuses them

Logan doesn’t know what he’s saying half the time, though he tries 

Remus makes everything into a dirty joke 

and Janus...just ignores them. 

It is so much safer not to feel, not to let the world touch me.

— Sylvia Plath

In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.

— Mortimer J. Adler

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

Things I Overheard While Talking to Myself by Alan Alda

“Everyone you meet is fighting a fight you know nothing about.

Be kind.

Always.”

Anonymous

I could speak of your generosity of spirit—the sublime language spoken by your heart. But it is your laughter I miss the most. The rarest gift you ever gave me.

Michael Faudet, from Cult of Two

I think that I will need to confiscate Roman’s credit card before he buys all of etsy 

There are too many subjects I want to study, too many languages I want to learn, too many books I want to read – why did my immense desire for knowledge end up in this fragile human form, with its needs for ‘sleep’ and ‘food’? 

One of the hardest things that I have been through and just now starting to understand is that things change, people change, different circumstances happen - and all you can do about it is simply just to try to adapt.

OOC: Okay so I’m going to start queuing things for both Virgil and Logan for when I’m at work so the blogs aren’t completely dead. I’m kinda going off of the general personalities of the characters and what is pretty much canonical of them, so i’m going through tags on Tumblr that i think fit. if i reblog something too triggering or offensive without realizing it, please let me know! (this mostly goes for Virgil's blog rather than Logan’s, but still)

Have a wonderful day 💜💙

“There’s always a broader picture. There’s always something beyond the system you’re concentrating on. Never forget that. There are no clear boundaries. Life doesn’t stop at the boundaries of the table. And there are always more than six pockets you can fall into. There is always something beyond. Always, always, always.”

― Yoav Blum, The Coincidence Makers

While being stuck in the house can be frustrating and cramped at times, i have to admit that I have enjoyed having the free time. I have gone through many of the books on my reading list, and have enjoyed quite a few documentaries. 

I hope all of you have found some joy with your free time as well. 

Roman’s Quarantine Quotes: 

“Do you think bedazzling a mask is a hazard to others?” 

perhaps if you want to test more slang words, you could ask Virgil. he seems to be pretty 'hip'

He would be the best option next to Remy, but Remy is a bit too...much for me. I think this shall be an excellent experiment

How do you think Roman would respond to yo using the term "bruh"? (I typically use the word when I feel betrayed in a joking way)

Hmmm this requires an experiment.

He simply looked at me with a confused and shocked expression before saying I was his boyfriend and now a "bruh"

I think i am in need of a change to this blog. I’m quite tired of it, but unfortunately creativity is not my strong suit, and I am hesitant to ask Roman for advice. May I ask any of you for ideas? 

Tell roman his mermaid quote is a mood but that Mermaid Roman could beat up any shark that tried to start with him

He says thank you but that you are overestimating his fighting ability According to him, the only exception is if a shark were threatening me 

I am doing my best, as well as attempting to ensure that the rest of the household is adhering to the safety measures we have placed. Thank you for your concern

Greetings, everyone. 

I apologize for being away for so long, but as most of you know, the world is in troubling times. I took the time away to help the others in the household adjust, as well to give myself a small break to spend time with my boyfriend and friends. 

I do hope that everyone is being safe and following all the guidelines put out by the CDC. And as school is starting back for many of you, I wish you all good luck in your next academic year. These times are stressful for all, however education is important in building the future, which I cannot stress enough. 

Be safe and study hard 

Logan 

Roman’s Quarantine Quotes: 

“I wish I was a mermaid. then I could live underwater without any worries other than sharks.” 

I have compiled many...interesting things Roman has said or done throughout the lockdown. Since many of you seem to have an interest in his normal ridiculous phrases, I thought I would share these as well, with his consent of course. He and I are both interested in your responses. I will post the first one momentarily.

doing this to everyone so, *hugs*

Um...thank you, i suppose. I’m not quite used to affection of this kind, but i appreciate the sentiment. 

hey Logan!! how was your day?

Exhausting. This social distancing sounded fine at first but Roman is not as much of a fan. 

(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!))

hey i just found this so sorry if i'm late but how are you and roman?

No need to apologize. 

Roman and I are doing well. We are looking forward to spending Christmas together 

Hi! How are you?

I’m doing alright I suppose. I have Roman asleep with his head in my lap, so I am quite content 

It was a unanimous decision

Help they're letting Remy plan my birthday we're all doomed
