Bio
I'm not the most sophisticated adult out there. I'm also not the best at communicating all the time, but I do try my best to get my thoughts out there into the world verbally or nonverbally.

Friend in Need
Warnings: character death Patton was, without a doubt, a really happy kid who could brighten the darkest of nights with a smile. He loved to play around the town and do good deeds for people, even if they didn't know the deeds were done by him. No matter what, he wanted to make people happy, so when he saw a young boy sitting alone on a swing and looking down, he knew he was needed since everyone else seemed preoccupied.

Patton's Experiment
Warnings: sex, kinks Until Patton allowed Thomas have thoughts that were on the taboo side, he had no idea how boring his mindset was. Why wasn't he the greatest at taking risks? After all, Thomas and everyone else approved when he shattered his expectations of being eternally happy and optimistic, so what's stopping him from experimenting with something that he didn't usually do? In all honesty, he was terrified. Would he be judged if he did some experimenting? What if he got hurt or traumatized from the activities? What if...he liked the activities? Well, it wouldn't be good for Thomas if two of his emotional Sides were drowning in "What ifs". With that in mind, he ventured somewhere in Thomas's mind to help satisfy a really big "What if". Patton felt nervous as he got to the door, but he knocked on it since he prided himself for actually going to the door in the first place.

Missed Knowledge
I am walking with my son, Virgil, through the woods so we can spend time together. Every moment we spend together makes me feel like I am doing something right in his eyes. Unfortunately, I don't play with him or express intense emotions like a normal father should when around his kid. Due to the fact that I am prone to heart troubles, I don't get overexcited or active when caring for my son. I noticed that he was becoming less social towards other kids as time went by and I feel guilty for being a factor for that sort of behavior. I don't want to frighten Virgil, so I am always faced with the ultimatum of "play with your boy or survive long enough to see your boy grow introverted." That being said, it makes me even more grateful for the times we spend together when I can make him smile without too much of a need to cling to my chest and take deep breaths until my chest stops hurting. Some of the activities that we love partaking in together are reading simple poetry that I was able to teach someone his age, looking at the stars and connecting the dots, and even going on walks in the woods as long as he has his special jacket with him and I provide facts for him about nature that can disprove his worries. No matter the temperature, he always feels safe in his big purple jacket and I would never separate him from something that makes him feel safe.

No Longer Normal (Part 2)
When Logan was waking up, he was slowly starting to notice that he wasn't in his room. As he was cleaning his glasses with his tie and acknowledging the stench of raw meat and some blood, he remembered what happened: he came to give Patton a well-deserved apology, and promised to help him emotionally. He looked over in Patton's direction only to notice that he was staring at the ceiling. Though Logan didn't make a lot of noise, Patton turned his face towards the egghead and smiled.

No Longer Normal
Patton looked outside the window while everyone else went to the real world to help Thomas with a dilemma. He wished he could go outside and enjoy 68 fresh air and wide open spaces of the Imagination. One of the reasons he repressed emotions in the past was actually a reason he was glad no one saw him longingly looking out the window: he would suffocate from so many questions smothering him that he would know how to react or what to say or what the reactions would be. He stared out the window before tugging on the sleeves of his cat hoodie. He knew of the risks, but even a part of Thomas could only be cooped up in a house for so long before going crazy. He properly put the cat hoodie on himself (grateful that the fabric of the hoodie was strong) and placed his hands in his pockets before heading out the door.

Brighten the Mind
Warning: character death It took a long time and a lot of vagueness used as excuses, but Virgil managed to find the spell book buried in the dark depths of Thomas's mind. He didn't need the influence of the Light Sides spiking his uneasiness. Not only that, but, as far as the other Dark Sides knew, the storm cloud was suffocated by a never-ending panic attack upon entering the depths (hence why Remus used to always find it funny to dare Virgil to take a dive when they were in Thomas's teen years), so he didn't have to worry about them stopping him from achieving his plan with the artifact in his possession.

Underworld Longing
To say that that denizens of the Underworld were unfamiliar with love would be incorrect. Logan was a demon who helped to keep order in the Underworld to counteract with the chaos that Eris would orchestrate. Even with the order and organization he was able to accomplish for so many millennia, nothing could've prepared him for a shy ghoul who was wandering around while waiting for the chance to be a born-again lifeform on the Surfaceworld. Sure, Logan has come across many creatures in the Underworld (including two little kids who claimed ownership of Death for several years), but there was something about the introverted ghoul that made him rather curious. After his shift, Logan went to a Spoken Word, held by a goblin, and managed to catch a glimpse of the familiar-looking ghoul. Logan took a deep breath and made his way to the ghoul before taking the empty seat across from him. Ever since that evening, the two have gotten to know each other and formed quite a bond. Logan would join the ghoul as he wandered around in the Underworld and even made the ghoul forget that he'd eventually be born onto the Surfaceworld. They would even spend Logan's lunch breaks together and made Logan realize, over time, that his job was actually really dull until he was able to spend time with the ghoul. They were different and had their ups and downs, but they wouldn't trade their time together for anything. It took many centuries and some help, but Logan eventually realized that he loved the ghoul as more than just a friend. By the time he ran off to confess to the ghoul, though, he received word that the ghoul had been born onto the Surfaceworld. Logan felt what he could only describe as emptiness. He called in mentally sick for a few days and didn't know what else to really do. On the last consecutive day, he called in for a mental health day, and he went to a lake of lava and stuck his hands into it. With as much energy as he could muster, he was able to use the magma to melt footprints into a sidewalk that his love would eventually walk on. He placed the lava onto his heart so that he could feel when his love's new form would fit his feet into the sidewalk.

Missing Memories
Virgil didn't remember much about his father, Logan. He remembered they used to stargaze, and that he didn't show emotions much. He knew, after talking to some relatives, that he had a surrogate mother since Logan felt more comfortable with the thought of being a single father. He tried to reach out to Logan with the number to his cell phone, but he never responded, nor did Logan ever try to reach out to him, so he felt uncertain of whether Logan ever regretted being a parent. He tried to bring Logan up to some relatives just to see if his father ever regretted him, but everyone would just keep to themselves. Even his birth mother didn't want to bring him up. All he wanted to know was what he did to make Logan not want to talk to him anymore.

Someone Who Fakes It 'Til He Makes It
Even though they never explicitly admitted it, the Light Sides could agree that Deceit was able to contribute in ways that could help Thomas. Maybe that was why Roman felt it would be a good idea to hang out with Deceit every now and then. On the other hand, maybe it had something to do with them bonding over a love for theatre and a habit of lying. What has Roman lied about? Simply his insecurities of living up to Thomas's expectations and being the brave, strong Prince Thomas wanted to be. Deceit knew that Roman was suffering and was actually low-key amazed by the fact that the Prince was hurting so much and still seemed to stand so strong. Unfortunately, whenever Deceit complimented Roman as of recent, Roman never looked at his eyes, so he never seemed to believe the snake man nor did he seem to care.

Bruised Puffball
Warning: Effects of past abuse Patton and Virgil had dated since their first year of college. They were roommates and, after they both decided to make puppets in a group therapy session, they got closer socially 'til things became more than platonic for the pair. They pulled some strings to stay roommates until they both graduated college and made it obvious that they cared for one another whether they were near each other or not.

Remy at the Lunar Lounge
The year was 2091; technological advances were normal to the public and most of the homes were built high in the sky, if you have enough money, and everyone else has homes that just float up on hovering platforms big enough for a standard lawn with a protective fence. One of those people who made enough money to live in the former happens to be Remy Calloway, who was a very social bartender at a very exclusive night club. He was a charismatic night owl, so he was able to access more than just an increase in his income.
