“the relentless wave of hormones and emotions…no one understood me”
did anyone ask for nu metal logan? no?? too bad it’s MY blog. pt. 3 of my interpretation of the sides during thomas’ canon emo phase. i was gonna do this with a logic cover (the rapper logic) but his album covers are not ideal for reinterpretation so i went with everyone’s favourite pulitzer-winning rapper kendrick lamar (DAMN.) for our bookgerm. (inspo and details under the cut):

and the linkin park song was directly from this post by @coolskeleton80085 (all the logan songs esp one step closer and faint were so good but i had to get in nobody’s listening!! thank you for introducing me to this banger)
ok details time!
kinda wanted to nerf him with this sheldon cooper fit because it’s thomas’ teen years! he gets to be a little relaxed. a button up and a full sleeve is basically every nerds interpretation of a casual fit anyways. the white shirt was just to make him look a LITTLE bit like a scientist in a lab coat because dress for the job you want (chemical engineering), not the job you have. also gave him those bayonetta glasses because i mean come on. we got different glasses during the early 20s i am allowed. they’re a little skewed though, and he kinda looks pissed. wonder why…
had to do the tracklist on a calculator it came to me in a vision. nobody’s listening (linkin park) was so perfect the second i heard it i just knew. sabotage (beastie boys) because it’s about someone who’s holding you back (which is everyone, i mean they’re just so emotional!!). cigaro (system of a down) was kinda for the giggles tbh but also because it feels like a bunch of people debating about all these completely pointless inconsequential and juvenile things (“we’re the regulators that deregulate” PATTON! *cough* sorry idk what that was). my way (limp biskit) was also for my personal amusement it’s the whitest song ever but also look at the lyrics (“this time i’ma stand up and shout, i’ma do things my way, it's my way, my way or the highway/someday you'll see things my way”) i mean come ON!! he’s just done going along with all this nonsense. without me (eminem) was the perfect one it was between this and the real slim shady but this one verse is so sanders sides: “you don’t know me you’re too old let go! it’s over! (nobody listens to techno) and let’s go, just gimme the signal i’ll be there with a whole list full of new insults i’ve been so suspensful with the pencil ever since PRINCE turned himself into a symbol!/but no matter how many fish in the sea, it’d be so empty without me” he is important! he is essential! in the sea of hormones and emotions, logan provides a stable shore for thomas to rest and contemplate. he gives everyone else meaning, which is why he won’t be ignored. thank you thank you goodnight everybody
that’s right guys i figured out how to draw a full human body. and clothes. huge for me
pt. 2 of the sides during c!thomas’ canon emo phase!! inspired by @logan-sanders-enjoyer’s post: (more details under the cut)
so my thought process was that this is a very emotional and new time with lots of change for romance i mean he just went from disney and dragons to first dates and heartbreak so he’d probably really try exploring that through his music and fashion. i tried to give him kind of a romantic royal goth thing like if a disney prince was a closeted vampire kinda vibe. it’s still red but a little maroon-ish because he IS dramatic
and the songs are just songs that c!thomas would’ve listened to at the time that would really resonate with roman. while virgil’s focused on more of the high energy pop punk songs, roman would’ve listened to like the grand love ballads and epic, dramatic storytelling to mirror his own feelings about less time for dreams and young love. this is just the sheet music. im kind of a novice when it comes to sheet music and transcriptions but i tried to fit all these songs together in an arc the best i could and i wanted to make it look like a vocal sheet for our favourite theatre nerd:
