“Please kiss me, L,” he asked again.

“I like that nickname.”

“I know you do,” Remus whispered.

Interlude, Roman

Roman rode fast and hard, running himself and his mount ragged in his desperate attempt to reach Ashva Serin before…

Before what?

Remus had done his best to assuage Roman’s fears, but the knowledge that something was wrong had latched onto him, deep down into his very core. There was a not insignificant twinge of guilt somewhere in there too, or perhaps it was shame, for what happened at the Lyceum. It wasn’t his fault, of course, that the Drakae family had so aggressively taken what they wanted. But he had fallen for their deceptions, like everyone else- everyone else except his      brother,    who never took anything seriously and yet still, somehow, had seen through the ruse when Roman couldn’t- and for that, Roman’s pride was hurt.

He loved his brother. But Roman tried so very hard, while Remus never tried at all, and somehow, Roman always- always- fell short when it mattered.

Roman would not let it happen now. Not to his home.

Someone give me an intrulogical hurt comfort where Logan is running to the dark sides because no one listens to him and remus is running to the light sides because he doesn't wanna be alone and them bumping into each other and living in remus's side of the imagination before i have to write one myself.

PSA for my Fander followers

(skip to the TL;DR for the main point if you like)

Not very long ago I made a post* about how I and several others personally feel uncomfortable with the Remus ship names that use “intrusive thoughts” as his defining trait. So we came up with replacements that use “imagination” instead, as that’s what Logan said he encompasses, “like it or not,” while intrusive thoughts are simply how some of his contributions manifest in Thomas’ experience. It’s not so “black and white, so to speak.” 

Virgil had a whole episode about how his contributions are often experienced by Thomas as Cognitive Distortions, and that’s true! But we still call him Anxiety, since that’s what he is at his core. Intrusive thoughts and cognitive distortions are prominent in their functions, but not who they are, and not a healthy viewpoint/version of their characters. I still joke around and call Remus an intrusive thot cause it’s funny and not overarching, but for the ships I just gotta do what I’m comfy with. Remus, Logan, and Roman all said it themselves: Remus is Creativity, just like Roman. 

I don’t expect the whole fandom to change the ship names, but I wanted to let y’all know that I’ll be tagging any Remus ship content on my own blog with the new ones that use the term “imagination” for him. 

This is because I feel:

it’s not only more accurate to his character and canon, 

not only does it make a lot of us feel more comfortable, 

not only does it not demonize what society/Thomas’ upbringing categorizes as “bad” creativity, 

not only does it show people who relate to Remus that they aren’t bad, unpleasant, unwanted, or immoral,

but it’s also the healthiest perspective on his character and the psychological applications of what he represents.

(Also, imo the new names just SOUND so much cooler! But that’s besides the point)

So if you don’t like seeing Remus ships and have the tags blacklisted, you should also blacklist the new names so you don’t have to see anything you don’t want! I’m gonna be using the new ones, and I’ve seen a few people around the fandom using them, too, which makes me so happy :D

It’s only two ship names that have changed, so in case you didn’t know (you probably didn’t lol), here are the new ones some of us have implemented:

Logan x Remus: intrulogical >>> imagical 

Patton x Remus: intruality >>> imaginality

Again, I don’t expect everyone to change what terms they use, but I’m thrilled to see it’s gotten at least slightly more common, and that’s what I’ll be using :) The rest of the ship names use Duke or Remus, so I’ll use those as usual. 

TL;DR: 

The current Remus ship names make some people (myself included) feel icky and uncomfortable, so if you don’t want to see Intrulogical and/or Intruality and you have those blacklisted, you should also blacklist Imagical and/or Imaginality, as those are the names I’ll be using. I’d be ecstatic if they keep gaining traction for the reasons listed above, but that’s what I’ll be doing regardless. I don’t want y’all seeing anything you don’t feel comfortable with <3 Thanks for listening!

*[EDIT: the original version of this post linked the unedited version of the first post I made about this, which listed Patton x Remus as “Immorality” instead of “Imaginality.” I’ve edited the link now, since shortly after making that post an anon suggested imaginality and I edited it cause I like it way better.]

[here’s a site that lets you super easily replace old tags if you want to! Thank you @logically-asexual for showing me this!]

[softlysugar]

If I were to do a solo zine, what fandom/character/ship would people must want to see?

[nothingcomparedtotheothers]

I am facing BAD block rn. Send in some SaSi drabble prompts bc I need it gone 🥺

I am cool with all ships (Remy and Emile included) but the ones at the end of the post. But I do have my weaknesses...

- Any Janus ship with sub/bottom Janus

- Especially Roceit

Was that worth a list? Probably not, but idc

I’ll be doing as many as possible.

NO Remrom or romantic Moxiety pls 💛
