bro stop being so verbose the hoes keep having to look up dictionary definitions every time they talk to you

Logan time!! *smacks him with a metal bat*

Personal headcanons/design things:

The de-facto leader of the sides. Although Character!Thomas is mostly governed by his morality and creativity, Logan is the best at keeping the peace and good relations amongst all the sides. Even before Virgil joined he had amicable relations with the dark sides. Friendly? No. Practical? Yes.

You know what? Yeah. I’ll get a little silly with it. He helped Remus and Janus orchestrate the whole “send Virgil over to the Light Side” thing; He understands those sides of Thomas are sides that are repressed and Repression! Isn’t! Healthy!

Patton thinks that he’s the Get Along Guy but really it’s Logan. Patton has weird standards on who is and isn’t “acceptable” (which change drastically later). But initially Logan is the one holding this Whole thing together and he’s holding it all with twine and scotch tape. He’s endlessly tired.

He and Janus are playing chess and everyone else is playing checkers. In that vein, he also views Janus as an intellectual contemporary (though he begrudgingly finds Patton helpful to discuss thought experiments with as well).

Has a mini fridge in his room filled with triple shots.

Has an info-binder on the other sides—their likes/dislikes etc…

He’s extremely observant.

Always stands like he’s giving a presentation 💀

2nd tallest of the sides, after Virgil.

His room has The Archives (copies of all school notes/info Thomas has ever learned)…Every few years or so he does File Closing (shredding) of any info that hasn’t been pulled on in that time. It’s like the burning of Alexandria to him.

He has a very meticulous file system (it’s analog).

Has a 1990’s style computer. It has one game and that game is chess.

I believe in side solidarity so he also enjoys hosting DND one offs with Roman sometimes (Something something combo of imagination and strategy).

One time Remus got ahold of Logan’s sacred Tumbler Cup and refilled it with something absolutely vile. He has not attempted to do so since.

Now I don’t think Logan knows exactly what the dark sides are per se (in terms of their additions aside from Janus—, or what causes them) but he has his suspicions (something something dehumanization).

Somehow has a connection to the Orange side???

your friends love you, your brain is just mean

charlie slimecicle will roleplay a relationship or romantic inclinations as a bit and accidentally create the most heart-wrenchingly beautiful and tragic love story about a person slowly coming into themself and learning to be loved and to love in return in ways they never believed would be possible for them because of some deeply rooted belief in their own inherent wrongness and brokenness and then he'll say some shit like "bazinga"

Honestly, I do not know. I can only assume that it is either the name of some saint I don't remember or just another name for Jesus.

not to sound like a confused jew (which i am) but who the fuck is noel and why is he christmas

Cracking one of these bad bois open & sharing with my mutuals

'Tis the season

My parents let me and my siblings have a ken and another male doll that I don't know the name of. With them and two other dolls I made a polyamorous relationship before I even knew that when two girls are dating they are still called girlfriends instead of a word I hadn't been taught yet.

There was a black haired doll called Janet and she was dating Barbie. Barbie was also dating Ken. Ken and Janet knew about each other and were cool but they themselves weren't dating each other. But Ken was also dating the other guy doll, I think I named him Ryan but I don't remember. Ryan wasn't dating Barbie or Janet but was cool.

So I made a poly relationship between (the specific labels are based on impressions I had of the characters before I knew the words for it) a lesbian astronomer (who was probably a trans woman), a bisexual trillionaire who has too many jobs to name, a pansexual himbo (who might be a trans guy), and a quiet gay who was into botany.

(Ryan and Barbie would bond over both Ken and botany while Janet and Ken bond over Barbie and having a near black thumb when it comes to gardening)

this is exactly what being a girl feels like

AND NO ONE TAKES YOU SERIOUSLY.

A brief summary of how user engagement is tracked on Tumblr, for the newcomer:

When you like or reblog a post, that counts as user engagement for the person you liked or reblogged from, and shows up in their notifications.  

If the person you liked or reblogged a post from wasn’t the original poster (i.e., you’re liking or reblogging a reblog), it also counts as user engagement for the original poster, and shows up in their notifications as well.  

This means that user engagement from your likes and reblogs can potential accrue to two different people, the original poster and the person you liked or reblogged from.  

Consequently, you cannot “steal” user engagement from someone by reblogging their post.  

This is one of the very few areas where Tumblr is actually functions more reasonably than other social media platforms.  

Note that this is only true if you use Tumblr’s built-in reblogging function. If you save someone else’s content to your local device and append it to a new post, you effectively become the original poster from that point on.  

This means that on Tumblr, “reblogging” and “reposting” are two different things; if you see someone complaining about “reposting”, this is not the same as reblogging.  

Commenting when reblogging does not affect any of this – unlike, say, Twitter, where quote-retweeting causes user engagement to accrue to the quote-retweet and not to the original tweet – and you can and should do so freely.  

However, every Tumblr user can see who exactly you reblogged a post from, which functions as a soft disincentive against making inane comments; if you make a dumb comment on a reblog, people who see your reblog may “back up” one step in the reblog chain to reblog a version of the post without your comment.  

Nobody understands tags, and there’s a fair amount of evidence that how tags work changes periodically and without warning.  

Tags are a divine mystery.

i feel so bad for nikola tesla like imagine spending years beefing with a guy who has conned the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and you end up dying broke and starving and alone and then 100 years later another guy cons the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and he's doing it all IN YOUR NAME. he must be rolling in his grave like a fucking rotisserie chicken

not to be boring but I like when evil characters.... well not become “redeemed,” more like they become domesticated. its just delightful when like an evil monstrous little bastard man goes from committing murder to getting mad someone misplaced their costco card or left the jar of mayo on the counter all day.

When the mutual you really enjoy seeing in ur notes shows up in ur notes

putting this in a separate post + even more silly battinson/corensupes stuff based off this post (and op’s tags)

make sure you always make atleast one character with it/its pronouns because 1. there arent enough and 2. the people who dont like it will unfollow you (a positive)

big atleast btw theres always room for more

I’d just like to once again pose the concept that Anger fucks with Logan specifically because anger blinds logic which is why his eyes glow when he gets mad at Remus after being ignored by Thomas all day. Idk if I believe that Logan Is Anger^tm but I could see a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde situation since generally when you’re angry logic goes Out The Window.

Tbh though I really hope they’re separate entities because we haven’t seen a different side have such total control over Logan the way Janus and Remus could control the others. Logan isn’t really affected by Janus outside of the hand over the mouth, and he isn’t afraid of Remus. Do you know how fun it would be to have a completely new side just be able to nerf Logan and make him lose his common sense? And it’s not a “oh his dark persona that shares his body” situation?

Like imagine a side that shows up and just completely knee caps Logan. Logan can’t see it but there’s a side behind him feeding into his frustrations, a whisper in his ear when the others try to confront him about it. Because the second logic loses its grip in conflict it opens the door for anger to take the wheel. Anger possesses you and overwhelms you. Maybe Logan is just particularly vulnerable to the manipulation right now because of his repressed emotions.

I just can’t see this going any other way except it all blows up and logic is no longer in the building all we have is A Very Angry Side being boosted in his anger by a side he can’t even *see*.

Even better is if everyone else can see Anger but Logan is just Mad^tm and can’t see anything.

thanks tumblr, maybe i will try ringworm if you dont have anything else

Need a little help with writing

I am writing a short story that has to have 6 characters or less and I can't tell if this counts as a character

Context, the labyrinth in question in question is sentient in the sense that it can make decisions and simulations based on memories of the main character. Which it uses to make the main character briefly think that he escaped, thus causing the main conflict of the story

But it unable to have personal opinions and hold conversation outside of "I was made to keep you here, you must never leave" which is basically a prerecorded message.

While it does understand what that phrase means as in that it is the mission of the labyrinth, it is unable to ultimately understand the phrase as anything other than an objective. (like it sees it the same way a social media filter looks for a face, not how a human sees a face, does that make sense)

Though it might be important to note that the main character doesn't particularly think of the labyrinth as character or a setting and more a problem/conflict. But they only recently figured out that it has at least a basic form of sentience.

The more you look at this picture, the more anxious it becomes.

*weeps in rare pair*

can we get unfollowing notifications too i want to know when exactly people reach the final straw

"This fic was ai generated—" Cool, so lemme block you real quick

i think as adults it’s our responsibility to be nice to kids and treat them with the respect we wish we got at that age and im not kidding or exaggerating in the least

imagine simping for capitalism this badly

i think you people put too much pressure on what is or isnt a date like a date is literally just being together with the person you want to be with
