Just had the silliest thought:
Thomas: Who's my favourite lil' snake boy? YOU ARE, you're my favourite lil' snake boy! Ohhh what a cutie, let papa give his favourite snakey some kissies!!
Jake: *happy baby babble as he's smothered with kisses*
Janus: *irritated grumbling and muttering about how HE'S the snake boy*
My man out here being jealous of a whole toddler like damn- and it's HIS toddler! Anyways I think that's hilarious and had to share it
~🌺
Janus, to his own child later: “There can only be one.”
Now I'm just imagining Jake pulling out his binky from his mouth and going 'Bring it on, old man!!' in the most adorable little voice ever and Janus making a really affronted gasp (hand to chest and everything)
Thus, the competition to see who Thomas loves the most ensues-
(only for Jake to later realise he doesn't like fighting with his dad and that he just wants snuggles from both-)
Heck yeah it's alright to say- Eid Mubarak to you too!
Also, so true- he absolutely would! And I gotta say, the necklace idea has made me just go: flower fit??? Flower jewellery and shoes and clothes??? Heck yeah!!! I think it's a crime C!Thomas never got a skirt look- so honestly I think I should make one just off of that!
~🌺
So just cover him in flowers?
Omg and then dress Patton up in a bee costume 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 💐🌷🌹🌺🌸🌼🌻🐝
Pretty much!
Oh heck yeah! He'd be so cute in that! What a fun little pair! It would quite a buzz among the Sides, I must say! (pun absolutely intended)
I think it should be noted that, because of the colour scheme of bees, my brain started going 'Haha, bee Janus' and then provided me with the gem that is "BumbleDee" and I just,,,, BAHA
OHHHHH WAIT THEN THAT GIVES THOSE TWO THE EXCUSE TO CALL THOMAS 'HONEY'!!!!!! omg i am a GENIUS /hj
Just after their little (read: ridiculously long) self-care talk the night before, Janus was summoned once again by his Centre to help him actually take on his advice, which leads to a sudden realisation.

Thomas woke up at around 2 pm- despite the exhaustion from the wedding the night before, he hadn’t been able to sleep a wink and had only managed to actually start getting some solid sleep from around 7 in the morning. He woke to the blare of an overworked alarm clock and fumbled around blindly to silence it- sighing in relief as it finally quietened.
He laid in bed for another five minutes before listening to the nagging feeling that was telling him that he should probably get up and start his day properly- even if he just wanted to laze around all day. He quickly freshened up and headed downstairs after shoving on a grey hoodie he had laying around.
After having some oatmeal for breakfast, he sat back on the couch and got out his laptop to start working on some videos that needed editing. He was so far behind on his schedule, but he couldn’t concentrate for the life of him.
He couldn’t stop thinking about the night before, worry flowing through him as he thought about Patton’s meltdown, the look of pain on Roman’s face, poor Logan who had been brushed aside yet again and then the fact that he needed to work and get things done, guilt flooding him as he mentally kicked himself for not getting said work done. And then he’d think about why he couldn’t concentrate, and the cycle would just continue- an endless spiral of anxiety.
Eventually, though, a different thought entirely cut through all his worries as he came to realise that there was one notable moment of the night that he really should’ve listened to initially, a request that was so simple to follow and yet somehow impossible to do for him.
“Glad to see that you’ve finally remembered to take some time for yourself, Thomas,” came a slightly sarcastic voice from the other side of (or rather, in) the room. Thomas had startled once he’d heard him, hand over his heart as he tried his best not to drop his laptop. His head had turned during the start to see who had scared him, finding the serpentine Side sitting on the other end of the couch, one leg crossed over the other as one arm rested on the arm of the couch with his fingers laced together, an eyebrow raised.
“Geez, I know you can be dramatic but there’s no need to scare me like that, bud, gosh,” Thomas said emphatically, trying to calm his quickly beating heart. He got a roll of the eyes and a smirk in return.
“My apologies, I just wanted to inform you of what you really should be doing instead of spending your time so productively- i.e., taking some rest, which I can see you’re doing just magnificently,” said the snake, coming over to sit next to his Centre.
“Yeah, uh, I gathered,” Thomas fired back, deadpan. “It’s gonna be pretty hard to though, I’ve got so much to do but I can’t even concentrate anyways, and I really don’t think sitting around doing nothing will help me take my mind off of everything.”
“Maybe not, but that’s why I’m here to help, isn’t it? I mean honestly, whatever would you do without me Thomas?” Now it was Thomas’ turn to roll his eyes as his Self-Preservation praised himself.
“Not have to deal with an evil snake boy? And you- being honest? That’s a new one,” he joked. “How would you be able to help anyhow- I don’t have anything that would help me relax, I’d just go back to thinking about last night. Not that I should be relaxing anyways, I’ve really got to catch up.”
His Deceit gave him a look and walked over to his TV stand, trying to find something his Centre could do to relax and still be proactive. “Are you quite sure about that? I’d argue that you one hundred percent need to rest and relax after all that’s happened. But what do I know? I’m just the literal embodiment of your Self-Preservation, I have no expertise in this area in the slightest. And for the record, you’re dealing with a regular snake boy who can be honest, actually.” Suddenly, something caught said Self-Preservation’s eye and he picked it up, having found the perfect thing to help.
“Fine, a regular snake boy, but again- just because a lot has happened doesn’t mean I can’t get things done, I really should be anyways, I don’t want to let anyone down and—” Thomas started, before being interrupted by a game controller being shoved into his hands.
“For starters, you would not be letting anyone down. If you’re worried about disappointing your fans, then you yourself know full well how understanding they are- they wouldn’t want you to push your limits just to make them happy. Secondly, you’ve been mentally overworked and you’re incredibly exhausted- you need to do something for yourself and if doing nothing isn’t going to help you then being more active might.”
“But I don’t deserve to rest right now—” this time he was silenced by a finger being placed on his lips.
“There’s no such thing as deserving to rest. You either need it, or you don’t and trust me, honey, you need it. Now shut up, choose a game where you need to think about it and start playing. If you’re going to relax instead of worrying about last night, you might as well be thematically appropriate,” the serpentine Side said, sitting down next to him again. Thomas realised that he was fighting a losing battle and proceeded to pick out a game (Mario Kart- that would definitely keep him focused). As he started choosing the number of players, he got up and grabbed a second controller, offering it to the Side next to him when he sat back down.
“Play with me? It’s way better to play with a real person- or as real a person as you can get.” That earned him a surprised look which turned into a playful grin.
“Oh, get ready, I’ve been told I’m the worst at this game.”

After the fifth round, Thomas leaned back and groaned- finally having accepted that, no matter what, he was going to get his ass kicked when playing with his Deceit.
“I did warn you~,” said Deceit teased with a singsong to his tone.
“Oh, shut up,” Thomas replied, swatting his arm lightly while the villainous-looking Side laughed. He sighed, feeling just a bit more tired than that morning, and moved to lean his chin onto his hand. He’d had a lot of fun, but he still didn’t think he should be doing this, it just didn’t feel right.
While he hadn’t said anything, it seemed that his guilt was picked up on anyways.
“You need to rest, Thomas. I assure you, you’ve done well in doing so so far, even if you feel like you should be doing otherwise,” came the gentle response.
“How do you know I need to rest though? What if I’m just being lazy or unproductive?” Thomas retorted, still unconvinced. He saw the man next to him smile ever so slightly as his eyes saddened just a little and as he spoke in soft tones.
“Your exhaustion is evidence enough, my dear. And as for your laziness, replenishing your body and relaxing isn’t being lazy nor is it being unproductive. looking after yourself can be just as rewarding as working. You have to admit, this must’ve been better than trying and failing to work hours on end, no?”
Thomas thought it over. It had felt better to just have some fun for a bit, even if he wanted to get things done, and he also knew himself that he wouldn’t have actually been able to be productive to the extent he could’ve. In fact, he’d probably have just felt worse because of it. He smiled a little.
“Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. Thank you, Janus.” Thomas looked over to see Janus staring at him in surprise and mild awe. “…You good, buddy?”
“…That was the first time you’ve said my name,” Janus said so softly it was almost a whisper, so much so that Thomas had to strain a little to hear what he’d just said. Thomas blinked.
“Huh. I… guess you’re right. Well, hi there Janus. I’m Thomas, nice to meet you,” he said outstretching his hand for a handshake in a half-joking manner. Janus looked down at it and smiled, huffing a little, then taking it as though he was about to kiss the back of it.
“The pleasure is all mine,” he said, before actually bringing it to his lips and kissing it. He looked up and now Thomas was surprised, but he smiled, nonetheless.
After a brief moment’s silence, Janus cleared his throat and gently dropped Thomas’ hand, adjusting his gloves. “Well, I’m glad I could be of service to you today, Thomas, but I really ought to be going, I’m dreadfully busy y’know.” He made his way to get up, but Thomas just pulled him back down again with a competitive sparkle in his eyes.
“Nope. You’re staying so we can continue playing and I can finally beat you, I’m not going down without a fight.”
Ironically enough, I've been severely overworked this week and haven't had time for a breather but dangit, Thomceit runs through my veins so SOMETHING or the other is getting posted, I assure you- /lh
I do still have surgery on Monday and life is a little kflkashdfkajs right now but I needed to pop in and share this.
(CW: dark themes, mentions of murder and manipulation) *Formatted with consideration to those with dyslexia and ADHD.
So my friend and I (I'm not sure if they wanna be tagged but I
promise I'm sharing full credit of this idea with them. It's not all mine at all) talked about an idea of a yandere c!Thomas AU.
The Sides are like they are in canonverse and c!Thomas is so attached and in love with them all that he starts killing anyone who tries to get close to him so that he can stay with his Sides forever.
Eventually, they express their concern and they're like "well, Thomas, we love you but not like that". And his response is kind of... "I have complete creative control over you. I can make
you do whatever I want." And so he makes them like romance him and stuff.
And Remus is the only one immune to it because he's kind of
naturally a wild card. And like maybe he ends up sacrificing himself to save the others. In like a "you can have me if you
free them" type of way.
Idk. It's just a neat idea we thought of. Exploring dark and
taboo things safely thru fiction can be fun!
Ayyo Halloween may almost be over for me, but that isn't gonna stop me from rambling about Thomceit looking after their kiddo Jake and giving him the best first Halloween he could ask for and everyone helping, so let's go- (as to how he became THEIR kiddo.... that's a tale for another day-)
(Also I feel like this is gonna read like a fic,,, it's not- I just talk a lot- so you have been warned sjdhsjdhs)
They weren't really gonna do anything for Halloween this year- Thomas had already made the video and was getting ready to post it, and Janus is just...... well, Janus. He's just... Halloween- /hj
But then lil' Jake is playing in front of them as they relax (shocking, I know) a few days before the day itself, and hears them talking about it and asks 'Daddy, Papa, what's Halloween?'
It then hits them that Jake doesn't actually really know what it is and has never experienced it in full, so they explain and once they finish he starts rambling about how fun it sounds and how he wishes he could take part in it
And what do they do? Take one look at each other- nod- and they've communicated their first thought to each other:
'Go All. Out.'
We're talkin' decorations, pumpkin carving, making toffee apples, trick or treating, and- of course- costumes, the whole lot!
Unfortunately, this is WAYYYY too big of a task for them alone to handle- so they get to plannin' with some help!
They enlist Roman and Remus to find decorations to use/make to help decorate- though they tell them (mostly Remus) to not go too overboard, they don't wanna scare the lil' guy-
Virgil is in charge of finding some good Halloween films to watch on the day, Patton sets out the sweets for trick or treating (and potentially sneaks a few-), Logan takes care of the pumpkins to carve and Thomas sets to making toffee apples and some spooky treats!
Now, most of those seem like they could be done on the day, right? Why did this need extra planning and why did it take several days? Here's the thing, Janus- being gay, a theatre kid, a fashion icon and an absolute dork- takes the liberty of making Jake his costume, with some slight help from Roman's Fairy Godmother.
When he goes to ask Jake what he wants to be for Halloween he says 'An astronaut!' which leads to this conversation:
Janus: But Jake you're already an astronaut!
Jake: No, I'm a crewmate, not an astronaut!
Janus: Sweetie, that's the same thing.
Jake: Nuh-uh- one of them has to run around and fix stuff, but I wanna be the one that just sits there floating! Space is very cool, but only if you're not running around to see it!
Janus: ...I'm raising you right.
So now Janus is spending days and nights making this costume after designing, fabric selecting, etc. (I headcanon he makes a lot of his own stuff being the fashion gay he is- the suits in SvS? All him babey-) and finally, FINALLY! After hours and hours of work, it's complete! A lil' spacesuit for their lil' astronaut! Now everything's done!
Once, the day rolls around, they all have a blast and Jake loves every second
He's adorable throughout all of it, examining all the decorations, making a mess with the pumpkins, enjoying some cookies and toffee apples, going trick or treating with his dads and then hiding under the blankets on the couch once the scary parts of the movies they watch when they get home come on- all in his costume made by his dad, and speaking of, he turns to his lover with a grin as he notices him looking very much in love:
Janus: You're giving me the look, what is it?
Thomas, mockingly wounded: You say that like it's a bad thing!
Janus, rolling his eyes fondly: Now I never said that
Thomas, laughing: I know ya silly serpent, I'm teasing! It's just... you did so much for him today. You spent hours making him that costume, and put so much effort in... I just find it so sweet that despite being a... a- slippery snake you still put in the effort to make him happy. You may dress like a Disney villain, but you've got the heart of a prince, even if you won't admit it
Janus, now looking at him softly but also with a very flushed face, trying to keep from lowkey squealing: ...Don't let Roman hear that.
Thomas: Janus!
Janus then starts to laugh as his boyfriend looks on exasperatedly (but lovingly) and wraps his arm around him and kisses him on the head
Janus: Oh you know I'm teasing, darling
Thomas, grumbling but fighting off a smile from the kiss: You better apologise later if he heard you
Janus, chuckling: I will
Jake then moves over and plops himself between them and then they all hug and watch films with the others and it's all very wholesome and cute and now I'm soft sjdshjdhs
Anyways I hope y'all enjoyed this!! It was fun to put down without actually having to write a full fanfiction (though I kinda did lol)
@thomasxsides Here's some Halloween-y fluff for ya!!
