What is wrong with dining halls in colleges that makes the most evil food in existence. I literally go to a culinary school, why do half the ppl i talk to avoid the dining hall like the plague...
miss celebrating Juneteenth with my family, but i went out to a Juneteenth cookout held on campus and had a good time. it's not the same, but it was still fun (＾∀＾)
Just in case any of you are confused, TikTok being banned and coming back not even 24 hours later with a giant "we thank President Trump" message is NOT a win. It's a huge red flag and a sign that this was a thousand percent planned.
Also this got really long so it's all under the cut LMAO
Now, I can hear you all saying "isn't narcissism the same as selfishness?"
It's not. Selfishness is putting yourself first and prioritizing yourself over others. Narcissism is believing that you are better or above others, that no fault is yours.
*** I want to make a quick disclaimer right here to say that Narcissists are different from people who have Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). People with NPD do have to be a narcissist, but they are most commonly self aware of their behavior and can't stop themselves. Narcissists do not care that they are acting the way they do, and they do not have to have NPD to be a narcissist.
With that, let's continue to the evidence!
Now, everyone, regardless of being a narcissist or having a disorder, has the capacity to be narcissistic. And in the video where the orange side was shown, Thomas was taking a lot of time for himself instead of cleaning, which by itself is good. It was a good distraction from the intrusive thots thoughts that kept invading due to Nico's lack of reply.
BUT that lead to Logan being questioned, and eventually ignored.
Thomas continually questioned if focusing on distractions was okay, and Logan assured him that it was. Throughout the video, Thomas gets more and more comfortable doing these distractions and prioritizing himself. But when Nico finally responds, Thomas goes to meet him, completely ignoring Logan. I think that may be the start of Thomas believing he is better or more important than the individual sides, and therefore stops listening to them, thinking that He knows best. And I should note, that when the orange side shows himself, it's only when Thomas willfully ignores Logan's advice.
Another thing to note about Narcissists, it's that they love to have all the attention on them. (Logan saying "STOP IGNORING ME!")
And right after that, Remus says "Now you're speaking my language!", which is interesting because sometimes narcissistic tendencies come from intrusive thoughts/feelings of being ignored or forgotten or not good enough. Which is why I think Logan is being targeted the most by this orange side. After constantly having his schedule be rearranged and paused, he's feeling ignored, which leads to a breeding ground for intrusive narcissistic thoughts.
Roman could also be a target, but I think it's unlikely due to the fact that he already had his deal with Janus, and during that said that he would feel bad taking advantage of others. Similarly, Logan being logic, is not clouded by such feelings, and Narcissists tend to use either flowery, feelingsy language, or in some cases, "logical" psychology talk in an effort to make it seem like the narcissist knows more than they do.
Then at the end, when Logan is trying to convince Thomas to stick to the schedule, Thomas says "that's for tomorrow Thomas, or day after tomorrow Thomas. It's not that bad."
"it's not that bad." Is a very common narcissistic phrase meant to demean the feelings and experiences of someone else. To put them down and deter blame from the narcissist.
And possibly the biggest piece of evidence, is during the end card Roman mentions Aphrodite. And we all know how much Thomas drawn inspiration from grecco-roman mythology, so let me tell you a story involving Aphrodite and Narcissus.
"Narcissus was a very handsome young man who lived in the Greek countryside. He was so handsome that the nymphs all tried to seduce him, including a nymph named Echo, who has been cursed by Hera to only speak what she last heard (like an echo!). Echo tried to talk to Narcissus, but it obviously doesn't go well and when he sees her, he rejects her harshly. Then Echo runs off and wastes away in a cave.
Aphrodite, hearing of this, curses Narcissus. When he is next to a pool of water, he sees his reflection and instantly falls in love with himself. And eventually, he wastes away, just like Echo."
Interestingly though, Logan mentions Apollo right after. And there could be many connotations to that, as Apollo encompasses a lot of things. Music, medicine, the sun, prophecy and knowledge to name just a few. Perhaps Logan meant that instead of seeking love (Aphrodite) Thomas should have stayed home to heal mentally or to continue learning something. Or perhaps... It's in reference to prophecy, saying that Thomas should... Look ahead to see something that might be coming...
Idk thats just my theory! Tell me what you think!
I think it would be really interesting to see the sides tackle a topic like this, separating selfishness from narcissist, and realizing that everyone has that capacity. And just like selfishness, a little bit of narcissism can be helpful. You just have to be careful to not let it go too far.
It’s weird that Janus and Logan are always like “focusing on one’s mental health is time we’ll spent” and “you should be seeking healthy coping mechanisms for things you struggle with”
just rewatching sander sides, and the negativity video with debate part, and the ending where Virgil is like
"I guess I just kinda assumed-"
then Logan is "you jumped to a conclusion"
and the look they gave each other! oh my God, it makes me love them so much, so frickin adorable! I love Analogical so much and I love Virgil and Logan so much these two dorks like oh my fucking God.
