Part One of an Intrulogical fic

Logan was up one summer evening, the others had asked him to ‘loosen up’ and ‘hang out’. By in which they meant hat he comes down to enjoy himself with another one of those useless and timeconsuming sleepovers the others ramble about. “This is very unpleasant, I do not see the point of staying in a circle and talk about feelings,” he said, his brows furrowed in disgust as he crossed his arms.

“Awe come on Logan! Cheer up, it’s just for tonight, that’s all” Patton said happily, wearing what seemed to be a robe with a light blue shirt underneath it. The black shorts pressed tightly on his skin, probably too small for him.

“I could be working, planning on the future well-being of Thomas, making sure deadlines are met. I could b-” he was cut off, by a familiar dashing prince.

“Didn’t you say yesterday that he was six months ahead? Nerd, you need to chill, even overdone eyeshadow is more relaxed than you” Roman said, pointing to a half-asleep Virgil.

Of course, Virgil was half asleep, Thomas had been taking some meds that kept Virgil at bay, it didn’t hurt Virgil in any way, it just made him very tired, which he complains about to everyone who was near. It got annoying every once in a while, but some of the sides seemed to be happy that Thomas can do more things without fear holding him back.

“Let me state the obvious, Roman, Virgil is, in your words, ‘chill’ in the direct cause of Thomas going on meds, you can’t keep knowledge at bay with medicine like anxiety, but maybe your brain didn’t comprehend that because it’s busy thinking about how big your ego is” Logan replied, his tone changing from bored, to aggressive.

Patton caught on the offense quickly, “Now Logan, don’t point out other’s flaws, that’s rude” he said, he was using the annoying disappointed dad tone, Logan hated it, not because how it was used, but how it sounded, he didn’t like it, not one bit.

“I only state facts, we should know this at this point, I am the physical representation of Thomas’s logic.” He muttered, “I am what Thomas nee-”

The prince stood up, “Sleepover time, let’s drop the subject, we have movies to watch, nails to paint, and cookies to eat!” he hollered, causing everyone to cover their ears.

Logan sighed softly, of course, he was cut off again, it seemed almost normal at this point, everyone shutting down what Thomas needs to stay stable. He is

The sides tried to enjoy themselves after the whole exchange, Logan trying to cooperate with them, he was the one who made it a fight anyways. The evening went as planned until two familiar tunes started to play, and two other figures rose to the floor. Remus and Janus both had toothy grins on their faces.

“We didn’t hear that you sides were having a sleepover, and we don’t want to join you,” the snake-eyed male said, he looked almost normal, wearing a yellow oversized shirt and baggy black pants.

“We had this whole plan of just appearing when you guys were fighting, but Janny said to wait a little while longer, but I got bored and here we are” the duke squealed happily. He was wearing a large onesie, one with eight holes in the back.

Roman and Virgil shifted uneasily, both of them still uneasy of the Dark Sides’ presence, Patton of course, welcomed them to the party, more Janus than Remus, he was still uneased with the duke’s presence, the only one who didn’t seem to change their mood was Logan, not a tinge of disgust, or a glimmer of hatred, this for some unknowing reason, seemed to have drawn notice to the green side. As Janus sat next to Patton and Logan, Remus flopped on the couched lazily.

“So when are we gonna pull out the horror movies?” Remus asked, turning to face everyone. Their expressions changed to a mix of disgust and confusion.

“We don’t watch horror movies, you Maleficent reject” Roman snapped, hating the fact that his twin was even talking.

This, in turn, pried Remus to keep describing all the movies he enjoys, going into painful detail of each scene, all the graphic details in the movies, almost everyone left by the time he has even finished talking about the first movie.

All but Logan, the duke seemed, for once, confused. “You didn’t leave? Why?” he asked, rolling off the couch and sitting by Logan.

Logan sighed, “It’s really simple, it doesn’t phase me, you are easily readable, your actions, not so much. You try to be random, extreme, to simply get the attention on you, though it‘s not the attention others would like to give” he responded, removing his glasses and wiping the lense

how to write the sanders sides

an incomplete reference

i used this post by @suibianbichen and this post by @coconut-cluster as a reference, thank y'all for a) making them and b) inspiring me to make this!!

this is based on my observations from the series, interpretations differ and that's okay!! if you have something to add, feel free to let me know :D

Virgil

rarely dominant in conversation

communicates easily (occasionally non-verbally) with logan; struggles with roman (speech overlaps, roman dominates), patton (tries, but often overwhelmed); cuts communication with janus (ignores, cuts off), remus (doesn't engage)

"oh, for crying out loud"

very thoughtful speech, often weighted, pauses between words

struggles to get words out when anxious

either flat or urgent tone

very good at understanding non-verbal communication

bites thumb

messes with clothes when anxious/uncomfortable

will make up nicknames

small gestures with one hand while looking for words

two-fingered salute!!

barely uses visual metaphors, pulling on brief pop culture/meme references instead

does not like to talk about himself

mutter, snap, grumble, grimace, growl, tense, grit teeth, hesitate

Logan

often dominates conversation

communicates easily with virgil; struggles with patton (disregards, conversational styles clash); clashes with roman (argue, roman dominates, cooperation unintentional/non-existent); cuts communication with remus (disregards); insufficient data surrounding logan/janus

less impulse control than we give him credit for (throws stuff A Lot without thinking)

confident in his knowledge

common gestures: raises eyebrow, adjusts glasses, furrows brow

goes silent when interrupted or stutters massively (easy to throw off his rhythm)

very clear speech, sure in what to say before he says it

becomes barely more urgent when frustrated, struggles with expressing anger in a healthy manner so it seems to come "from nowhere" when he reacts explosively

struggles to express emotions

Does Not Sugarcoat (states positives and negatives side-by-side when only one is appropriate) -> comes off as harsh while interpreting others as idealistic, avoidant, secretive

don't just pull out a thesaurus for his dialogue; he doesn't speak outside the realm of regular understanding, just a little more complex

rarely uses visual metaphors, quotes sources instead, states facts clearly -> relation to topic occasionally unclear to others

unempathetic

(use few dialogue tags)

sigh, nod, correct, start, huff, pause, frown

Patton

dominates conversations when pressed to (often by thomas)

communicates easily with roman (clown-to-clown communication, Brain Go Fast and they keep up with each other), janus (often opposing viewpoints but similar communication); struggles with virgil (tries, but often ends up overwhelming), logan (emotional/heavily metaphorical style clashes with logan, often disregarded); no communication with remus (distracts from, takes too seriously, intimidated by)

not as soft as fanon pat, rather quirky -> a bit random

clumsy, also in gesturing

Does Not want to talk about his feelings but will immediately take to others'

Brain Go Fast from topic to topic -> fast speech

very willing to change, will play some follow-the-leader if he thinks it'll help

always believes he's at least a little in the wrong

that super strained smile he does when he wants to Move On Now

metaphors!! weaves topics together to make them more relatable/understandable to the individual, gets a bit carried away with them

impulsive when comfortable in a situation

puns!!

easily overwhelmed

struggles with words, keeps speech light, externalises feelings

highly empathetic

try, smile, chastise, insist, hesitate, nod, shout

Roman

consistently dominates conversations

communicates easily with patton (clown-to-clown communication, similar associations/can easily follow thought highways); struggles with virgil (often speaks over, sensitive to anxiety); clashes with logan (nicknames, speaks over, talks past Entirely); non-communication with janus (is manipulated/flattered or clearly antagonises); hostile towards remus (insufficient interaction)

he is So Extra

rhymes!! and yells!! and gestures holy fuck where do i just get a masterlist of all the roman stuff roman does

someone said his speech is somewhere between a medieval prince and frat boy and yeah that works

if anyone figures out the secret to roman dialogue please tell me i'm begging you

confident in his opinion until it's unmistakably disproven -> will argue until the very end

Brain Go Fast

no impulse control -> says really weird things

speaks a lot and very fast, metaphors are grandiose and sometimes miss the point a little

parallel: patton (occasionally) notices when metaphors get away from him, roman doesn't (corn vs. feral cats)

associations with pop culture (especially disney), mythology, etc

when he's uncomfortable he does a sorta half-smile and looks away

Really Easily Startled

not super empathetic

sing, grin/beam/smile, seethe, falter, stutter/stammer, cheer

Remus

consistently dominates conversations

insufficient data surrounding remus/janus and remus/roman; does not communicate with the other sides (disregards, brushes off, threatens, speaks over)

takes parts of what others say and adds onto own point (without speaking to them)

Brain Go Fast

constant need to be the loudest presence in a room (reacts to everything he can)

gestures are quick, seem controlled (if impulsive)

no impulse control -> says Anything that comes to mind

quickly desperate when ignored

tends to throw out fractures of ideas, barely/not elaborating on thought process

sing-songy, shrill tone

playful/childish in a kinda creepy way

there's not a lot to say about him because he's barely present

no (apparent) empathy

jeer, grin, pout, wink, wave, snarl, shriek, sing

Janus

purposefully dominates conversations: does this subtly (steers/takes over topic more than speech)

communicates easily with patton (opposing viewpoints but similar communication style); unequal communication with roman (manipulates, flatters, purposefully misunderstands, abuses weaknesses); non-communication with virgil (virgil ignores, cuts off, argues); insufficient data surrounding janus/logan and janus/remus

flat speech (seems sarcastic)

uses sources, simple metaphors/examples to explain points

small gestures, always seem intentional (performative)

acts superior, condescending

short fuse

struggles to adjust to others' points of view

messes with/looks at gloves(/hands) a lot

mostly calm/honeyed tone

feigns innocence sarcastically when attacked for anything

low empathy, high sympathy for others (knows, but doesn't feel what others feel)

smirk, hiss, coo, deadpan, sneer, grimace, sigh

like i said, this is an incomplete reference—feel free to add on! my general recommendation for writing any fanfiction, really, is to rewatch some of the source material to get a feeling for the character voices (videos i'd recommend for this: lntao, dwit, svs:r)

hope this helps someone!!

[terraviridi]

This is so flipping useful, thank you!

The secret to Roman's speech pattern is jock who is also a theatre practitioner. SO many theatre people in college talked JUUUST like Roman it's WILD. EXTRA(tm) and extremely flambouyant.
