Ive been really shy to talk to you and interact with your blog, so I've decided to go on anon (for the time being at least)
I've seen a few people talk about MARINA's 'I Am Not A Robot' for Logan and I have been linking it more to Roman? I mean, I can see the lyrics talking about him as well but the second POV of the song makes me think of the song as more... public (which links it back to Roman for me at least)
"It's okay to say you've got a weak spot
You don't always have to be on top
Better to be hated
Then loved, loved, loved for what your not"
This set of lyrics in particular makes me think of Roman but the words aren't coming to me as to why that is, sorry. But it'd be cool to read your thoughts about it!

Don’t worry little snake anon, no one will be bad with you. You’re safe here <3
I can understand why this song is considered good for Logan, but also why you see it working for Roman too.
The thing is: Roman and Logan both have an issue and they’re both trying to hide/ignore it. This song is about accepting you have this issue, this “weak spot”, because it’s better to be truly yourself, rather than pretending you’re something else.
This message works for them both. Like the part you quoted: this is definitely more Roman. While the idea of “not being a robot” is more Logan. But the core of the song remains the same for them both.
Speaking of Roman parts, I agree that the chorus has a bit more of a Roman vibe - maybe because this part sounds like something Patton would say to him:
You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable You are not a robot You're lovable, so lovable But you're just troubled
Maybe it works so good for Roman, because being unloved is something very dear for him. Unlike Logan who pretends to not have feelings at all, Roman HAS feelings - especially fear of not being enough and to show his insecurities to others.
But there are also parts that are a bit more “Logan”. Like this one:
Can you teach me how to feel real Can you turn my power on Well, let the drum beat drop
In other words, this song works for both of them, so angst is the true winner of this confrontation.
