I'm gonna draw Remus wearing @simonalkenmayer 's merch it matches his aesthetic

Look at this stuff peak Remus: Eerie and odd and OFF but INTERESTING

(I also recommend you follow Simon he's pretty cool)

You know, seeing the fandom split between the good and bad of "you must like this character or else" and "tag stuff properly" is an ironic mirror of what's happening in the series.

(Before I continue, this does not mean we should decide a character is 100% bad and hate them for all their tiny mistakes, that's just as toxic as pretending they're perfect)

In here, all character criticism is based on their characterization in the show, it is NOT saying they're unsympathetic or bad. All the screenshots I use will be from my folder of the video scripts that I've tried to share several times. (I have not finished formatting all the scripts, so seeing some names being bold and others not is because of that) Please ask if you want me to share the folder again. I've tried at least three times and it's gotten nowhere.

Confused about the paralleling? Let me explain. What's currently happening in the show? What's the current issue that Character Thomas is working through?

The mentality Patton's giving him that he must do what's good for others, pretending that he's perfect. "You must be good for everyone to like you" kind of thinking. A point of mind that if you do anything wrong, you're bad.

(Screenshot from SvS) See? A mentality that "You ARE perfect. You've done NOTHING wrong. If you do something wrong that doesn't please everyone, you're BAD."

Seem familiar?

A portion of the fandom's current mentality: "You can't hate [character] or write unsympathetic [character]! They haven't done anything wrong!"

Take what Logan says to Thomas here:

(Screenshot from DWIT) The world isn't black and white, and neither are the Sides. Yeah, Thomas sees them as black and white, good and bad, light and dark, but does that mean they ARE? No. They're not.

Fandom parallel: "None of the Sides are 100% good or bad, we all have our own ways we see them, all you have to do is say how you feel about them (AKA tag appropriately) so that people who don't see them the way you do (AKA don't like certain unsympathetic Sides, certain sympathetic Sides [this includes all six of the ones we know now], and certain ships) are able to not see them"

Who sounds less toxic at the moment? Patton or Logan? Hopefully you say Logan, because if you say Patton I'll have to give you this lesson all over again but more in depth and I don't currently have the time.

EDIT: I HAD A CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH HERE AND TUMBLR DELETED IT PLEASE CHECK NOTES

So here's the No Split AU ideas, edited slightly from the format I shared on Discord (separate messages/trains of thought are separated by the lines and I'm sorry I'm on mobile and can't add a read more):

Okay so imagine this with me: Roman and Remus are play fighting in the Imagination, like they often do. And the Dragon Witch comes along to ruin their fun, like she often does. And before they can do anything about it because they're so caught up with fighting, she does a spell on them or something and disappears.

Roman and Remus aren't quite sure what happened so they quickly head home before it can do anything to them. But when they get there, none of the other Sides recognize them. And as Roman and Remus are VERY confused and stepping backwards away from the others, they feel a Creative aura. The two have an aura the other can sense, but it's not Roman's aura and it's not Remus's aura. And the two turn around to see someone they'd only seen in childhood photographs.

King Creativity.

And they realize that they aren't home at all.

~~~

The two get the urge--and follow through with it--to kneel because the king is above both princes and dukes and the King is very confused about the weird Creative energies the two are giving off.

~~~

"Who are you? You're obviously Sides, but who are you?" Deceit still has his fangs bared.

"I'm Roman."

"I'm Remus!"

"And what are you?" Patton asks.

Roman and Remus look at each other then at the King with his overpowering aura staring at them in confusion.

"We're Creativity!"

~~~

Roman and Remus are very hesitant to talk about why there are two Creativitys instead of one because "Well you see your friend he got split in half and became us it was really painful kinda hurt"

~~~

Having two Creative auras (one brother's and the King's) is really overpowering for the twins. The King on the other hand is powerful enough that their auras don’t bother him much. But the two also will reject any move to separate them from each other to be questioned because they have no idea what would happen if one of them spent too long with the King.

~~~

This is where I found out Ryan meant "little king" and decided to use it for the King's name

~~~

Roman and Remus act like they dislike each other right up until they realize they aren't home and then they're glued to each other's sides, which makes these alternate versions of their friends worry and feel horrible about what happened to them that makes them fake that they hate each other. It obviously has to do with the other Sides.

~~~

The Sides aren't unsympathetic by the way they're just a little biased towards black and white.

Alternate Patton: You guys are so cute!

Remus, with tears: Do you mean it? Patton would never say that to me!

Alternate Patton: Hey where's your Patton I just want to talk

(Comic of this that I drew in @nachosforfree 's art style [specifically Em's style but details])

~~~

Possible "Intrumile" scene that I thought was funny (AKA Roman and Ryan tease Remus about how he has a crush on Emile but they're not boyfriends)

~~~

And that's all I've got so far! Enjoy!

The theme song of the No Split AU is Sober Up by AJR

"Hello, hello, I'm not where I'm supposed to be

I hope that you're missing me, 'cause it makes me feel young

Hello, hello, last time that I saw your face

Was recess in second grade, and it made me feel young"
