I’m coming after every post that suggests that Remy/Sleep is somehow related to Remus Sanders.

They are not related.

They are from two different universes, let’s keep it this way. Thomas himself hinted that those two world don’t mix.

Please let’s not make these two the same person or make one of them a “quirky” version of the other one.

Let’s keep them seperate.

Remy's not even a canon side, that's not even his name stop the nonsensE.

But, even if he's not, they're different

I want to thank you guys for this episode. I've struggled with intrusive thoughts for so long and it's always really bothered me, but Logan in this episode really really helped. It was exactly what I needed to hear. It feels like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Thank you for tackling this topic and handling it in such a good way.

I'm glad it was helpful to you. Thomas and I have been talking about doing an episode on this subject matter for quite some time, and there was a lot to iron out. Thomas was understandably nervous about pushing the boundaries of his channel, and this series, because, of course, he didn't want to upset any viewers. I, on the other hand, was very worried about the prospect of presenting a totally palatable version of inrusive thoughts, because that's not what intrusive thoughts are. My greatest fear was representing intrusive thoughts in a way that makes people who are struggling to deal with their intrusive thoughts think "oh those are the kind of thoughts people are uncomfortable thinking about, then I must be really fucked up. Maybe I actually am a bad person." So we ultimately decided to kind of "go there"-- at least more than any other Sanders Sides episode-- with the hope that the people who really needed to, would heed the content warning.

I still deal with intrusive thoughts today, but I have a pretty healthy relationship with them. That said, I used to really beat myself up about thinking certain thoughts. I remember certain nights, crying myself to sleep because I thought things that were "unforgivable." I ultimately wanted this to be a video that could help people like my younger self: thoroughly reasoning through why those thoughts don't make you evil, as well as being able to associate those horrifying thoughts with a silly, stupid, blithering asshole who (for me) is fun to watch.

I know we're talking about Remus but I just wanna take a moment to appreciate Virgil because I love him so so so so much :((((((((

Why are they like this

Roman, pulling out katana: All women are queens!

Remus, pulling out mace: If she breaths, she’s a thot!

ACCURATE

solid-no-on-that-one

THIS.

Okay so you may be asking: why is this important?

Well throughout the series, we’ve seen Virgil, like all of the other “dark sides”, pop in and out of the frame for their entrances and exits. This way of moving, much like the presence of eye makeup, seems to be a unifying factor between them.

But in this moment, I think Virgil effectively moves on from being a dark side and accepts that he’s a part of the rest of the group. Notice in this episode that Logan almost dismisses his opinion, almost calling him “paranoid”, a method of denial that seems to work on the other dark sides, but corrects himself and explains to Virgil exactly why he needs to calm down.

And look at Virgil afterward: Not only does he say “Because I was (one of them)”, he also, like we know Logan, Patton, and Roman do, sinks down.

I completely forgot he didnt sink or rise- I that is very good observing!

Fuck

critical-and-cringe

I really wish I had something intelligent to add to the conversation on this video so I’ll just blab:

Happy things! :

• So proud of Patton for realizing Thomas can’t be perfect and apologizing to him!

• So proud of Virgil for realizing he doesn’t have to be (overly) afraid of the Duke!

• So proud of Logan for saving the day and just taking care of Thomas and all of them!

• So proud of Roman for apopligizing to Logan when he called him “Nerdy Wolverine”

• Thomas yelling “I love you!” when Roman returns

•Virgil’s face when Roman returns

• Logan’s touched expression at Thomas calling him cool and the little sound he made 😭

Leas happy things! :

• Thomas feeling like a bad person and Virgil and Patton feeling like they failed him

• Roman describing Remus as a mirror that shows you all you don’t want to be, meaning he worries of becoming too much like him

• Virgil still feeling like he failed Thomas, in the end, because he can’t protect him from his darker aspects and feeling so much shame from being one of them that he tears up

Mugshot of a 2-year-old Francois Bertillon, arrested for eating a basket of pears

Follow for more 1800s nostalgia

#who the fuck arrested a two year old #what police officer was like YOU’RE COMING WITH ME SON #was it javert #i bet it was javert (x)

luanna801

So actually these photos were taken by the kid’s uncle, Alphonse Bertillon, who was a French police officer and inventor of the mug shot. These photos were just taken as a joke, probably when Bertillon was developing his mugshot technique and needed someone to practice on.

No actual two-year-olds were arrested in the creation of these photos!

“1880s nostalgia” with a pic from 1993 yes of course

onion-souls

There was also an 1893

From people thinking a toddler was actually arrested, to people somehow misreading “1800s nostalgia” as “1880s,” to this person thinking a fucking daguerreotype was taken in the 1990s… this whole thread was a ride I didn’t expect to take today.

This is worse than the math post

I only care about the Javert comment

thomassandersfander

The Duke

The new side, The Duke, is kinda scary. Like his first appearance of him creeping over Roman actually made my heart race…. good acting Thomas…. I’ll see you in my nightmares… :):

vangoghsmoonchild

When I saw him I yelled. No joke.

coconut-cluster

Do.... do you think the reason Virgil didnt like Roman in the beginning was because he met his brother first?? My brain is running rampant with theories.

oH SHI-

OH MY GOSH

OH WOW OKAY I DIDN’T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT

WOW
