Guys. Guys, remember that gag where they showed us Virgil applying eyeshadow under his eyes? Remember that this was before he was accepted and became more open? Dare I say was hiding his feelings. GUYS REMEMBER WHAT HIS EYESHADOW DO WHEN HE'S HAPPY?? GUYS. GUYS I THINK--
This also means that sometimes he just gets so damn happy that the purple seeps through his attempt to cover it up with black eyeshadow anyway
"what's your goal for the new year Virgil?"
"To get darker eyeshadow that better matches my soul..."
Sweet winter child your soul is glittery and lilac.
You are needlessly ashamed of it. Come out of the dark and meet everyone who loves you. They will caress the glittery apples of your cheeks in awe and see that your joy tumbles off you like little snowflakes, staining everything it touches.
No one but Virgil would ever consider his pretty eustress eyeshadow to be something as irksome as a stain. The others will be too caught up in trying to catch the next round of purple flurries on their fingertips and holding them like wishes.
Imagine being this dark brooding spectre who feels giddiness so sharply that it overwhelms your attempts to cover it up.
Imagine baby Virgil trying to wash the glitter off, painting over it in scraggly black eyeliner until the black comes to define the opposite of that feeling and bleeds darker when he's upset.
You are marked by happiness, and all you want to do is scrub the evidence from your face.
"ugh...it's going to take weeks to get this glitter out of the carpet"
So? Your family loves you and treasures every stray little sparkle in their periphery.
