Breaking News: World-Class Soft Pretzel Maker Invents New Solution To Dip Pretzels In Before Baking

The baker is quoted as saying the usual baking-soda-and-water method was "too basic for [their] taste"

Patton defending the dark sides from one of my fics, which I'm sharing because idk:

"If Thomas isn't evil, doesn't that mean none of us are either? He’s a good person, and we’re all parts of him. Plus, I say they’re good people, and I— I’m Morality!”

Believe It Or Not, Deceit Is Good At His Job

Let's ignore that Janus is mostly self-preservation at this point rather than 'Deceit'

Everyone seems to think Janus is a really bad liar. For example: when he imitated Logan, he wore the wrong tie, said 'lies,' and used an idiom.

But then when Virgil showed up, he snapped at him for 'ruining his dramatic entrance.' He totally expected them to figure him out. He planned it, because he's too Extra to just show up as himself.

More proof:

Selfishness vs Selflessness redux. Nobody knew he'd replaced Logan until he told them. He had them completely fooled, as well as the majority of the viewers, I'm sure.

Selfishness vs Selflessness. Yeah, we all knew Patton was off, but how many of us actually figured out it wasn't Patton?

Virgil knew, because he knows both Patton and Janus seemingly well, but considering the Janus/Virgil dynamic, I am near certain he did that on purpose.

Would Patton have messed up referencing famous philosophers? Yes. Did Janus know that? Most likely. However, his knowledge impressed Logan, and Janus wanted the other sides to take his side. He probably figured if he got Logic on his side everyone else would follow but then realized how little they listen to Logic.

Every bit he did that wasn't exactly Patton-like, I am certain there was a clear, intentional reason behind it, even if it was just to annoy Virgil by letting him be even more sure it was actually Janus. 'Friendo'? Come on. Patton's literally the dad character. There's no way that wasn't intentional.

"Is C!Thomas capable of such deception?" you ask, because he is a bean.

Yes. No, C!Thomas doesn't lie on a regular basis or anything. But he. Is. An. Actor. Actors can lie. They can deceive.

Just because he only does it on the stage, doesn't mean his sides can't use that skill whenever. I also believe his skills in acting have a lot to do with Janus in addition to the Creativitwins but that's for another time

In conclusion: Janus can lie.

A littol Virgil! (Does this count as fanart?)

You Can Do Nice Things For "Selfish" Reasons.

Doing something nice for a "selfish" or self-serving reason doesn't cancel out the fact that you did a nice thing. Unless you tell them, nobody knows your motivation behind doing the nice thing.

It makes no difference to them.

Bring home-baked goods to a gathering so people compliment your food and tell you how incredible at baking you are. Donate to charity to impress people. Smile and be kind and polite so people like you. Compliment people in the hopes they'll compliment you back. Help someone pick up their things because it makes you feel like the main character. Let a stressed parent with crying children cut ahead of you in line because you just want the loud kids to be gone as soon as possible.

People don't know why you did it.

People do know what you did.

People know you brought home-baked goods to a gathering. Charity got a donation. People know you were smiling and kind and polite to them. People know they got a compliment. People know someone helped them pick up their things. The parent knows you did a kind thing for them.

Whether you do it selflessly or self-servingly, your action doesn't change, nor does its impact.

Not doing nice things because you "just want something in return so it's selfish" is worse than doing nice things for self-serving reasons.

Putting good vibes out into the world because you want to pretend you're a dashing and chivalrous young lad whose wealthy family tragically passed leaving you to inherit the mysterious family mansion and all the men admire you and all the ladies talk about what an honest, good young man you are and all the nonbinaries get gender envy from you and the unlabeled and agender folks just think you're really cool and everyone attracted to men fancies you is good and harmless and fun.

You can other peoples' days and your own day better simultaneously. So do it.

So sometimes I write stuff I want to remember or check on later in my notes at night, but then I wake up and don't remember what they mean, anyway I have a note that just says this now:

We can't do this forever.

I know, I know.

Someone's going to get hurt.

I know, I know!

So does anyone know what that's from?

(Most of the stuff I write down is song lyrics/tiktok sounds/dan and phil quotes so it's likely one of those)

My father just showed me this and I feel like if Remus was a celebrity, this is exactly what he would do

I like the first one better, but I worked too hard to not post the second. For someone whose title is 'Deceit,' Janus really just spits facts. I've never related to or loved a character more than I do him, so here's my tribute

@thatsthat24

Me: *gets this notification*

Me: Hang on this person's gotta be messing with me let me check so I don't look like an idiot online

Me: *looks this up*

Me: THOMAS IS ALLERGIC TO CATS??? POOR GUY

Also: That means logically that *all* the sides are allergic to cats, right? (Doesn't mean they don't have other allergies though so my point/joke still stands—)

Side Allergies

Canon ones, (with proof):

Patton: Allergic to cats

(It even has a front pouch to place an actual cat, if you so desire.)

"Oh, I can't. I'm allergic."

Remus: Allergic to soap

"It's got soap on it! I'm allergic to soap, you (beep)!"

Roman: Allergic to cats

"You think you know someone and then WHAM! Out of nowhere... they fill your apartment with feral cats?! And now you're somehow responsible for the vet bills? You've got to give them away, but despite your cat allergy, you've endeared yourself to them, especially to Mrs. Snuffles... more like Mrs. Sniffles! ...Because of the allergy."

So, for the others, my guesses for allergies are:

Logan: Allergic to bullshit

Janus: Allergic to society

Virgil: Allergic to makeup remover

Same on the tentacles, holy shit on the art that's fantastic

Well, you could not expect that you will throw out the tea party with the theme of Mad Max and I will not draw Remus for this
