Ts Virgil - Blog Posts

It's always “If they were in the same universe, Wilford and Remus would be friends/dating/enemies” and never “If they were in the same universe, Roman would have a field day or mental breakdown learning everybody's names”

Reminder: Roman thought the names Janus and Virgil we're embarrassing. There are canon characters named “Captain Magnum,” “Heehoo,” and “HeapAss.” (Yes, HeapAss is canon, he’s one of Yancy’s friends. Also yancy is a good example for this.)

Roman would have a mental breakdown as the names get more and more ridiculous and Virgil would just hover around him until finally he gets really close and goes “And you thought my name was bad.”

I’m not wrong. Are you gonna look at this and tell me that I’m wrong? You can’t, because I’m not. If you did, that would be lying.

So, you know how Virgil can, like, ‘duck out?’ Like basically, he can turn himself off and Thomas no longer feels anxious to the point of aloofness?

Do you think Janus can do that?

Imagine Thomas goes through something and the others are like “dude, wtf, what's going on?” and Thomas is like “No, I can’t tell you guys” and Janus is like “no, that's fine. Man, I’m so tired, I think I’m just gonna take five, let me know when he tells you guys.”

Holy shit, The mind electric by Chonny Jash makes my Sander Sides hyperfixation hit DIFFERENT-

Especially if you look at the heart segment as Patton and Janus, The mind section as Logan and Virgil, and the soul segment as Roman and Remus.

To further my point, here are some actual lyrics from the song ((with notes by me)):

The Heart segment:

But as complacency settles, anxieties will rise

And part this Soul as Jekyll parted Hyde

Now I’m but half of a hollow man’s lies:

The love, the hate, the еmotional side

((LIKE BROO???? Janus and Patton talking about doing nothing will just make Virgil be anxious and talking about how Thomas has them seperated))

“I know I’m weak. I know that I’m vile

But sometimes that is needed to survive.”

That’s what I’ll say to rationalize

“I’m needed if we’re to stay alive.”

((Janus trying to convince himself he is needed))

And yet, here I lie with black, sunken eyes

My Mind’s consigned our sighs to a leaden void

The Soul remains tempered. I remain plied

Condemned ‘til we are both all but destroyed

((Patton sad that Logan and Virgil are convinced that emotion is not needed, convinced that this will do more bad than good.))

But I know that one plus one can’t equal two

If happiness is both our truths

Our total sum must equal one if we’re to find that golden hue

((Basically like ‘Hey, guys! We need to be apart of this whether you like it or not!’ Also trying to convince the others that happiness is the ultimate goal.))

See how The Mind tricks The Soul

Into being something sickly, dead and cold

As you feel it start to tire and fester so, so slowly

Up until the point where it will finally die

Just in time to see what could have been

((Talking about Virgil and Logan trying to convince Roman and Remus to be on their side?? Also talking about how this is a bad idea because they could pass opportunities. God, I need an animatic and I need it now-))

Do what you want, you automaton freak

No, I can no longer bring myself to care

This hollowed out vessel’s beginning to creak

So take control, let’s see how you fare

((Janus being sassy before the Parts change? Iconic.))

The mind segment:

Resident Heart is feeble and frail

A scourge to purge; due diligence is all

Silent, sad outbursts, inaudible wails

Dictate he never does as he’s told

((Logan and Virgil talking about Patton? Mad he’s doing his job and has emotion, talk about projection.)

Fathers of fathers, brothers of sons

Deterred from being what they know they can

All because Heart refuses to run

This creature hardly resembles a man

((Once again, these boys trash-talking Patton, but now also bringing the ‘sons’ into this (R&R)))

My logic is the absolute

His pity parties simply harm these chances at an apt repute:

Esteemed regard in place of mockery

((Logan talking about the others and how he needs to be listened to more))

I’m sure it seems from his point of view

That I’m a simple, cynical machine

But is it so hard to see the whole truth?

I merely seek a Soul that’s pristine

((Virgil talking about Janus and how he only wants the best for Thomas))

See how The Heart plays profound

(See how he lies.)

But the depth is insincere

A pathetic, thin veneer

All the pain, regret and fear still resound

((Just more L and V talking shit, but more specifically critiquing on how Patton and Janus both think they know best when they don’t))

Though I seem harsh in all my assessments

We each seek a life lived in the light

Yet, there lies our Heart, engulfed in resentment

Stubborn, pale akaryocyte

((Logan being like ‘yeah, I was a little harsh, but I’m not gonna fucking apologize because something needs to be done.’ Also equated ‘having emotions’ as having a ‘virus’ because that's what akaryocyte means))

The soul segment:

Call me The Soul or call me my name

Oh, label me whatever you would like

Call me your host or call me insane

If that will help you stay in line

((Basically an introduction, but also why I put Remus as the soul because he would be like ‘Yeah, I’m insane, sure, but it works, doesn’t it?’))

Fathers of fathers, I know that I’m vile

Let’s see how long it takes to murder me

Neither is wrong, yet neither is right

Condemn him to the infirmary

((Remus basically knowing his job is to be terrible and telling Patton “hey, I’m the exact opposite of you. And if you hate it so much, kill me.” While Roman is like “both sides have points, but I don’t know who to choose”))

I. Am. Me.

((You can’t tell me this isn’t all of them shouting this at the same time. They a frustrated bunch.))

See how the brain plays around

And it splits what once was whole down into three

And you fall inside a hole, inside a

Someone help me

Understand what’s going on behind my eyes

Doctor, I can’t tell if I’m not me

((The creativity twins both mad at Logan and Virgil for digging deeper into the psyche, trying to make sense of things.))

See how they fight all day

The other half won’t hear what’s had to say

It’s just the game they play here in this labyrinth maze

((Do I... Do I need to over-analyze this line? I feel like this one does the job for me))

Tridential regicide

I won’t hesitate to kill my Heart and Mind

I will abdicate these deviants sat inside

I’ll take you down in tandem when this rope is tied

((Basically both of them saying ‘this fighting is gonna kill me and, in turn, us.))

And this was a lot longer than I intended. And there are parts I didn’t even get to! Please listen! God, it's so good.

Love of my life?

May I interest you in some sanders? Buy one get one free

The AI is like one of those girls that can’t stop talking about their boyfriend whenever they’re mentioned 😂

“Hi”

“My boyfriend says hi sometimes-”

I talked to Virgil on one of those AI things and oh my god that dude has it bad for princey 😂

YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW DEEPLY AND DESPERATELY I WANT A PATTON RENDITION OF SUGAR CLOUD BECAUSE THE IDEA OF PATTON RANTING TO THE SIDES ABOUT LOVING YOURSELF AND YOUR SURROUNDINGS FOR WHAT THEY ARE BEFORE GETTING INTO EMOTION BAGGAGE VIA SONG FEELS SO ON BRAND FOR PATTON AND SANDER SIDES AS A SERIES AND I WANT IT!!!!

GIVE ME A PATTON SCENE WHERE HE RUFFLES HIS HAIR AND MOVES HIS CARTIGAIN FROM HIS SHOULDERS TO HIS WAIST! GIVE ME A SCENE WHERE THEY ALL GOOFILY DANCE TOGETHER WITH NO SHAME!! GIVE ME A SOULFUL PATTON SOLO BECAUSE PATTON DESERVES IT!!!

RIDE THE CYCLONE AU?? YEAH

Janus - Ocean O’Connell Rosenberg

I mean, come on. She sang an entire song shitting on people she’s known her entire life, even throwing her best friend under the bus. Why? Self preservation. I rest my case.

Patton - Constance Blackwood

I feel like this is obvious but Constance is a loyal, kind girl who feels emotions deeply. Patton is the same way. Also, who else would have a song called “Sugar Cloud”?

Logan - Mischa Bachinsky

HEAR ME OUT. Who destroyed Roman in a rap battle? Logan. Who doesn’t show much emotion besides rage and passion (for Crofters)? Logan. WHO PUTS UP A FRONT TO NOT BE EMOTIONALLY HURT? PROBABLY LOGAN. Let him be a Ukrainian bad boy.

Roman - Noel Gruber

The most romantic boy in town… duh. Also, poem writing? The desire for a dramatic life? Gay? It’s all coming together.

Remus - Ricky Potts

Sexy cat orgy in outer space.

Virgil - Jane Doe

They both don’t fit in and tend to scare the people around them, even if they don’t mean to. Also, one could argue Virgil’s lack of concrete identity after leaving the dark sides could fit Jane Doe’s identity. ALSO ALSO, Virgil would want to be Jane Doe.

I have more shit!!

Headcanons

Remus and Roman fight. A lot. But not about anything serious (usually,) but things like the best pop-tart flavor or could they what if imaginary scenarios. It gets heated in the funny way. When this happens, the other sides say ‘the girls are fighting.’

Logan is the only person to own multiple, metal, labeled rulers

When Patton gets very invested in a person and is convinced they could do no wrong, their glasses are tinted pink.

Au ideas

Roman switches place with Roman and confuses the fuck out of everyone. Yep, I spelt Roman twice. Somehow, SS!Roman and RwR!Roman switch universes which confuses the fuck out of everyone. Yungblood is very aware that something is wrong while Virgil (at first) thinks Roman is playing some sort if weird trick on him. While RwR! Roman is trying to come to terms with being stuck in a universe where six different people look exactly like him and is unsure of how real he is, SS!Roman is going on an epic adventure, hopefully on how to get back to his world (yungblood regrets wanting him to sing)

I’m going to call this one “the hollow au.” Long story short, Thomas no longer has access to his sides or vice versa. A group of Thomas’s friends come over to find him in a weird, dazed state. Like autopilot but... Worse. Like he’s not entirely there. His friends go around the house to try and find something to inspire him or get him back to his old self. One of the friends go into the front yard and find this crystal. When they pick it up, they reveal Patton sitting in the grass hold in his knees and hiding his face. The person gets Patton’s attention, Patton rushes to check on Thomas, yadda yadda yadda, bit of expedition later and now these group of friends have to find the different parts of Thomas and basically put him back together. That's all

If you want more of these, lmk. If you want some more explanations on the au because you wanna write it, also lmk and I’d be happy to help!

Sorry for only posting about the Sanders recently, but here's some more shit that has been rattling in my brain:

Headcannons

When Patton gets mad, he stomps on the ground like a rabbit. This has given him the nickname ‘Thumper’ by Roman and ‘Stomper’ by Janus.

Janus can't smell, at least not normally. Janus has licked a flower before.

Remus doesn’t actually like the taste of anything he eats, but he powers through it because he knows Thomas doesn't either.

Virgil can sometimes be tricked into thinking he has purple eyeshadow, which will in turn make him embarrassed and give him purple eyeshadow.

Roman has one of those mirrors that's covered in sticky notes telling him how great he is. Most of them were written by him, but some we're written by Patton. One was written by Virgil.

Logan has a mysterious hole in his wall that he covers with a Star Trek poster. How that hole got there is unknown.

Au ideas

Virgil, but he’s based on fight instead of flight. He’s punk instead of emo, he’s got red on him instead of purple, he’s definitely more willing to throw hands, and the flirting with social anxiety video goes WAY DIFFERENT (Going up and talking to him? No problem. Not insulting him? That's the new issue.)

Normal Sander Sides, but everyone tolerates each other a little more. Virgil realizes Janus is annoying, but also the main reason why people lie is fear. Patton, after every severe disagreement, makes each of the sides something to eat because he just wants them to know they're loved despite the disagreement. Remus will throw earbuds at Patton when he’s about to say something SUPER heinous. Logan and Janus have conversations over books. Roman will, periodically, write a note apologizing to some of the sides if need be. Sometimes all of the dark sides bother Thomas at once because it's funny. They still fight and argue over things, but the only real issue between them is Roman being mad at Remus because he keeps eating bathroom supplies, which wouldn’t be a problem if THEY WEREN’T MY BATHROOM SUPPLIES YOU DICK

If I come up with anymore, I’ll let you know

Okay, so, Virgil likes horror movies, right? Virgil likes being scared.

Does that make Thomas a casual adrenaline junkie?
