Maybe a hot take but I wish we got some more negative Virgil content in the fandom. NO WAIT I PROMISE IM GOING SOMEWHERE WITH THIS—
More Virgil spiraling. The overthinking, the criticism, the thoughts that keep Thomas up at night despite his best efforts to calm down. Virgil is a friend, he’s not the enemy and they don’t see him that way. Accepting him meant accepting that Thomas struggles with anxiety, it doesn’t make the struggles disappear.
Part of Virgil’s depth is that he’s not good or bad, he’s just a part of Thomas and it’s better to work with him than against him, and FAR better than working without him at all. But he’s still anxiety. Anxiety is hard to deal with, even when you have a good view of it, and that’s okay.
