#swapped sides

[confusedhost-archive]

Me? Doing a sketch dump? More likely than you think :D

This is from @sanders-sides-reverse-au which I found pretty heccing cool- I liked Truth’s wings and managed to learn how to draw wings for about 10 minutes in order to make one single drawing of them look good.

Doodles/actual drawing that I put way to much time in for the swap sides AU I did.

Virgil and Remus like Crofters instead of Logan and Roman. Virgil got his own Crofters as well.

While Patton has to stop Janus and Remus from hurting Thomas in SVSR. His cat hoodie comes off since it’s windy. Instead of taking off gloves to reveal his name. (Since he doesnt wear gloves.) He takes off the sweater entirely.

I might even make a storyline for this AU since I just like the idea a lot.

200 years later…here’s creativity!Logan and logic!Roman. i wrote about them before here, anxiety!Patton and emotions!Virgil are here

-Roman made that mug for himself and it's everyone else's mission to destroy it

 -Roman’s hair starts every day super styled and slicked back and ends as a big ol swoopy mess due to constantly running his hands through it /pulling it out of frustration 

 -the first time they introduced themselves Roman had Logics line 'I am Thomas’ logical side, every fact he's ever learned' but emotions!Virgil interrupted him to be like 'actually ... there's one fact you can't seem to remember :/' and handed him a little card which just read: FACT: You're an asshole 

-mainly communicates through offended princy noises 

 -has his shit the most together but like. Only by comparison 

 -Logan is the biggest annoying hipster I can't believe I didn't see it before

 -like he already had pretentious and dramatic tendencies as Logic but as Creativity it goes up to 16 

-most of his video ideas are either completely artistically groundbreaking (but functionally or financially impossible) or just. Wierd.

 -Virgil asks him to create something nice to distract Patton and he conjures the feeling of summer rain in the form of a thin mint. 

Virge is all 'I just meant like. A puppy or something.' 'How pedestrian.'

edit: bonus swapped sides 2.0 are here!

I’m still not sure if I want the sides in my swap!AU thing to switch roles (ex. Janus would be Morality) or switch spots. (Ex. Janus would be a light side but still represent Deceit) but it’s fun drawing them so I’ll probably decide soon enough.

[onelonelyghost]

I’ve made swapped sides designs. Janus and Patton, Remus and Roman, and Logan and Virgil swapped. I wanna do more with them so I’ll probably post some doodles of them doing stuff.

Patton and Virgil role-swapped please!

Shows up to my own inbox 4 months late with starbucks…

Sorry has taken so long and that it’s so so sketchy but I suddenly got some inspiration for this prompt and I really wanted to get it down!!!

some head cannons for swapped sides under the read more 

Emotions!Virgil

Wears the purple t shirt he has now with abrighter hoodie. Normally had the hoodie round his waist but pulls it on sometimesif he needs a hug

 If you want to know what the Big Emotion of theday is you can tell by his eyeshadow but only if you consult the manual of 324 subtlydifferent shades of purple

 es still an extra boi basically

Not very easily distracted like regular patton, wouldact most similar to how Patton was at the end of the moving on vid.

 Emotions!Virgil is very in touch with hisdeeper, sometimes more unpleasant emotions and spends a lot of time in his roomjust to feel and reflect. Normally this just makes him a fairly chill guy but sometimesit can be really hard to get him out of a funk if he’s feeling down.

Never full on crys but gets teary eyed ateverythinggggg. Sad stuff on the news, remembering how much he loves the others,saw a baby duck. He starts sniffling and is just like ‘guys, I need a min’

He has so much love to give you guys. A goodSoft boy from a good Soft family.

Anxiety!Patton

ohh boy

Okay so anxiety!virgil is like that little voiceat the back of you head telling you no ones going to like you stuff/yourbehind/not doing enough or whatever. Anxiety!patton is like the loud voicewaking you at  3 AM going YOU DIDN’T SENDYOU FRIEND A TEXT TO SEE IF THEY GOT HOME SAFE AND NOW THEY PROBABLY HATE YOUOR THEY’RE DEAD THEY DEF DIED HATING YOU CALL THEM NOW O WIAT ITS 3 AM OKAYWAIT TILL 6 AND CALL THEM DON’T SLEEP DON’T SLEEP WHAT IF THEY CALL YOU FORM THEHOSPITAL

His room is just like 30 klaxon alarms all goingat once

 Idk I think the kindve anxiety he reps would bevery external rather then internal? Deeply concerned about Thomas’s family/friendsbut also like, the state of the world.  ‘Theocean is full of plastic you guys’ ‘Pat, there is nothing you personally can doabout that right now’’ BUT WHAT IF THERE IS D: D: D:’ ‘please PLEASE go tosleep’.

He has a long sleeve sweatshirt and broken glasses.He does have his grey cardigan but he doesn’t wear it consistently – sometimes overhis shoulders like regular patton, sometimes slung over one shoulder only, sometimehe’s carrying it. He chews it/rubs his face in it when he’s particularlystressed out so its kind’ve a misshapen lump. More security blanket thencardigan.

Never developed that ‘let me put on this darkand edgy persona to drive you away’ vibe that Vrigil has, its more of a ‘let mecling to you and tell you about how global warming is going to kill us all’kindve vibe

Basically, its probably a goodthing they have the jobs they do have XD

edit: Logic!Roman and Creativity!Logan are here!

edit edit: bonus swapped sides 2.0 are here!

I was looking through your art tag and then I saw the Patton and Virgil rome swapped and I was like “How would Logan and Patton be role swapped then?” and now I can’t let the idea go..... ALSO I LOVE YOUR BLOG

i actually wrote a bit about my ideas for Patton and Logan role swapped here ! they’re one of the most difficult  to imagine swapped for me… 

what do you think they’d be like??

here’s a little doodle of my version (logans book is called KANT for those who cant cus i guess he’s in charge of dad jokes now??)

ALSO THANK YOU SO MUCH IMMA  LOVE YOU BACK <3 <3 <3

[sidespart]

Okay but Morality!Logan, Anxiety!Roman, Logic!Patton, Creative!Virgil. Not because of ships, but because HOW THE HECK WOULD THOMAS FUNCTION WITH THIS LINE UP

OH MY GOD MY DUDE I DONT EVEN KNOW

hon est l y ive been thinking about the final combo off and on since i posted this version this morning and im still not sure how they would work

but i am going to ramble about them anyway because this is apparently what i do now

in order of easiest to HOW THE HELL WOULD THAT EVEN WORK-est

Creativity!Virgil

okay this one is actually a pretty easy transition, Virgil has a lot of similarities to Roman already (he has the second most costume like outfit, which he designed himself, has similar Disney related interests etc tec) and you can argue anxious thoughts and coming up with worst case scenarios are a form of misdirected creativity 

all Creativity!Virgil’s ideas would strive to be ‘edgy’  

he’d probably be really into stuff like redoing classic fairy tails with a dark twist, (probably have the opposite problem to Creaivity!Logan - story ideas are really character driven and dialogue heavy but. plot? consistency? he does not like to work hard.)

draws a lot of tim burton esq art. Hand writes all his plans with Calligraphy.

happiest version of himself tbh

(probably writes long Harry Potter analysis posts on tumblr about how Dumbledore was a MANipuLAtIVE ABUSER YOU GUYS. lives for the angst) 

Morality!Logan

okay idk if you have seen The Good Place but Morality!Logan is essentially Chidi

has read every book by every moral philosopher and tries to use the teachings to make the most moral choice every time there’s an issue BUT half the time they all contradict each other and he is. frustrated.

can argue himself into, and out of, pretty much any decision. once created a copy of himself to debate with and it lasted for d a y s before logic!patton made him stop

meditates.

acknowledges his emotions are there but keeps a very firm grip on them -prefers to say i am the master of the emotions over saying i am the emotions

of course that means if something totally unexpected happens which he wasn’t prepared for it leaves him pretty emotionally wrecked and he needs help from pat and vrigel to get under control again

actually works really well with logic!patton they have the least antagonistic brainVHeart relationship 

Logic!Patton

OKAY. This one’s hard.

so cannon Patton actually is often the voice of reason (especially in the early videos) but tends to let things play out and only confirm/help the others after they’ve already come to the right conclusion (im thinking about am i original? and accepting anxiety in particular) and i think he would be similar as logic, he’d try to get guide everyone to the right idea without explicitly telling them what to do 

he wouldn’t feel the need to reaffirm he’s the smartest one in the room, its just known. 

but then like real patton he runs the risk of being talked over or ignored 

he def be thing kind of teacher who will never just come out and tell you the right answer - hes all ‘well what do you think you should do next’ ‘ why do you think it says that’ etc etc 

i think with Logic!patton we’d get more emphasis on the other stuff that logan represents - like his curiosity and wonder about how the world works

gets SUper excited about learning new stuff and will happily babble about it to anyone who will listen

Monday its obscure Tudor dance ceremonies, Tuesday its transpiration in trees, by Tuesday evening he’s decided they’re all learning Australian sign language and no ones sure how that transition happend. 

Anxiety!Roman

HOW DO YOU SOLVE A PROBLEM LIKE BEING THE EGO AND THE ANXIETY??

He’d be the villain

Im sorry! but its true. hear me out. when the canon sides visited anxiety’s room all their own anxieties start coming out and they’re all based on their own traits - Patton worries about his family (’why would you think it doesnt look good? do you have self esteem issues??’  ‘I JUST DONT WANNA LOOSE ANY OF YOU’), Logan looses a grip on his explanations, starts ambling and worrying Thomas wont understand what he’s trying to convey (’sorry - for that little tangent’ YERTS DOTSON) and Roman, worries about himself and how he’s being perceived (im not feeling like my fabulous self, ‘WAS THAT GOOD DID I DO GOOD???’) its all directed inwards (which makes sense given he’s the ego and god side note - these videos are so clever?? i love them)

so if he IS anxiety its very much your classic internal intrusive ‘WHAT IF EVERYTHING YOU DO IS JUST WORTHLESS’, ‘you dont deserve to be here with all these Good People’, ‘everything you create is boring and trashy’ etc etc real nasty stuff

but now its not just aimed at roman - its aimed at Thomas. He is now Thomas’ Anxiety after all

so either he is stuffed in an enormous hoodie being a weeping self hating mess, beyond what Virgil ever was orrr he fully embraces his job and becomes a cane twirling, probably cape wearing, villain who does bad things but looks good doing it

Tl:dr - creativity!Roman is a Disney Prince, Anxiety!Roman is a Disney Villian 

Villains always get the best songs.

SO getting back to ‘how would Thomas function’ we haaave… a somewhat emotionally repressed boy with a crippling anxiety disorder combined with indecisiveness and a need to distract himself through combination angsty creative outlets and 3 am wikipedia binges.

I feel like he would have a tumblr XD
