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.

Sanders Sidekicks
What do you get when you put a few enthusiastic fanders from different parts of the world into a Skype session? You get the new podcast Sanders Sidekicks. An idea led by Michelle Brennan on Twitter, "Sanders Sidekicks" is a podcast where fans of Thomas Sanders as well as the series Sanders Sides discuss what comes to mind when it comes to particular characters, head canons, theories, and so much more. Also, some of the things that are included in the podcast are a "Fact of the Day" as a dedication to Logan, the Sanders Side who functions as the personification of Thomas's logical thinking, and a "Joke of the Day" as a dedication to Patton, the Sanders Side who functions as the personification of Thomas's heart, morals, and paternal instincts (complete with dad jokes).

Patton Pudge
Patton and Logan have dated for several months and it reached the point where Logan felt he was free to get his emotions out to Patton without being changed to the fear of harsh ridicule. Patton was able to do the same towards Logan in return, but every look in the mirror without his shirt on made the pun lover feel he wasn't being as truthful towards Logan as he should be. He would pull down his high-waisted pants to reveal his... "Patton Pudge" coated with faint stretch marks and wondered why it wasn't possible for him to transfer his weight to someone who needed it more than he wanted it. He would lie down with his back on the bed, let gravity do its work, and even rub his ribcage in an effort to pretend that he was skinny. At the end of it all, though, no matter how much he had cut back on sweets, no matter how many dogs he walked, no matter how much lotion he put on his stomach in an attempt to hide the stretch marks, no matter how many times he'd rub his ribcage, nothing would change the fact that he wasn't skinny. He wasn't big enough to be compared to a pumpkin, but he was big enough to fear that Logan would be disgusted.

Factory Owner Heir
Roman enjoyed spending time with his boyfriend, Patton, however he could and whenever he could. They would go to the movies, check out the animal shelter, even go to the children's playground to reexplore their inner children and talk about maybe having a family in the future.

An Alien's Hallelujah
Logan browsed through the selections of this strange music shaman called Spotify. He could slightly see his reflection from the glass casing of the rectangular lifeline humans brought everywhere with them and every time his green skin came into view, it reminded him of the reason of the possible reasons Patton wouldn't return such strong feelings to him. He continued swiping his finger up and down through the songs that were so foreign to him as he tapped the selections. Eventually, he tapped his finger on a song selection and, after hearing someone talk about "premium payment", Logan heard a song that, if he guessed correctly, contained a lot of miracles, which is what Logan saw Patton as after so much prejudice and fear: a miracle. He thanked the "shaman" and listened to the song numerous times in order to sing it to him.

Poodle Snuggles
Deceit looked over at Logan lying down on the couch. He wasn't concerned about hiding from Logan, nor was Logan concerned about what Deceit saw. That's the thing about Logan not seeing anything as strictly good or strictly evil: just like how a couple in an extramarital affair doesn't care what the front desk worker of a hotel knows, Logan didn't care what Deceit saw or knew, as long as it wasn't necessarily addressed. What was it that Deceit saw that Logan didn't bother to hide?

Hidden Strength
Virgil wouldn't exactly say that putting up with the Dark Side of Thomas's mind for so long did him any good, but he would summon Deceit if he said that there's at least one thing he's gained from it that he's proud of. One of the things he was proud of was the fact that he was determined to protect everyone else from the other Dark Sides (as well as other potential dangers) and the other was the physical strength he had developed from a combination of self defense from his past and Thomas's heightened worries overall. The emo's need to protect his family was something he wouldn't hesitate to show as long as it's in a way that won't alter his reputation, but he didn't really bring up his physical strength. He was worried about the possibility that everyone else would associate his strength with the potential to hurt them. That being said, as much as he wanted to put an end to Roman constantly arguing with Logan on which of them was stronger (even though they were evenly matched and Patton was too polite to remind them he was stronger than both of them), he'd rather keep his mouth shut.

Halloween Hanahaki
While working in Halloween City for the season, Roman took the opportunity hang displays of bloody flower petals on the walls and place them on the shelves for decoration instead of profit. Roman's co-workers and boss praised him for the creativity, but they didn't know about the depth within his displays. The displays told a story of a man who was suffering, a man who had a co-worker that everyone tried to get him to date without knowing he's not straight, a man who longed for a local high school teacher who would only see him as an idiot, a man who had to pretend that he hated said teacher in order to live long enough to see another work day while also suffer enough to spit out another batch of bloody flower petals for his displays.

Outlandish Excuses
Warning: brief homophobia and attempted murder. Virgil was so used to guys bailing out on him after several dates. He guessed that they were trying to be nice when making up excuses for cancelling on the dates, and ceasing to contact him again afterwards. He had low hopes for dating until Roman Ellington swept him off of one foot. He would be lying if he said he didn't enjoy the first few dates with Roman. They were enough to make Virgil forget the pattern from his group of exes. He voiced his concerns reluctantly to Roman as they were strolling through a greenhouse close to closing time, and Roman promised he wouldn't make outlandish claims to Virgil like his other exes had done.

Beautiful Man
Virgil didn't exactly believe in fate or prophecy, but there was a part of him that felt it must've meant something when the same beautiful man appeared in his sleep so many times. He knew he had yet to actually meet this man if he actually existed, but he still felt safe around him, like he was an angel and was the only reason he was becoming less of an insomniac than usual. Even when he was awake, though, he still managed to think about the man from his dreams every once in a while and, eventually, it showed.

Picani's First Music Festival
Warnings: swearing, drugs, implied r*pe plans Emile allowed Remy to drag him to a music festival, which was made easier by the fact that he didn't have any appointments the following day. Emile had grown tired of feeling like he's too innocent to handle what the real world could bring him in contrast to what Remy considered to be fun. Plus, when Remy joked that he dated Emile so he'd always have a designated driver, it really got the cartoon addict's goat, and not Chompy that time. He wanted to prove that he could be just as fun as Remy, so when Remy mentioned this music festival, Emile knew that would be his chance to have some more fun in a night than he ever allegedly did in his teen years.

Two Little Kitty Boys
None of the other sides had seen Patton come out of his room for the day. There was a mixture of curiosity and concern amongst everyone until Deceit popped up and decided, with brown eyes present, to come up with a game where they would guess what was keeping the marshmallow isolated. Logan didn't want to partake in the game, so everyone made guesses that ranged from realistic to chimerical enough to make the teacher's eye twitch. Every once in a while, Patton would come out of his room to make his way to the bathroom, but he didn't pay attention to everyone else's game or the loud growling in his stomach. Everyone else ended up laughing amongst themselves during their game and Logan decided it would be best to actually ask Patton what was going on during a time where it was less likely he would be followed.

Once You Enter, You'll Never Want to Leave
I had just arrived at the train station when my mom asked if I was on my way home. I went to one of the benches and texted her that I was at the station waiting for the train. I wasn't the kind of teenager that would sneak out a lot or have Amber Alerts dedicated to me; my mom was just more concerned about my whereabouts than usual due to the many disappearances she has heard about on the news and from the past. I don't exactly consider myself a perfect child, but I did understand her concerns. The main issue for me was that, even though I wasn't exactly the most social, I still felt like I would be better off getting fresh air from somewhere outside the house as long as it was somewhere where I didn't have to deal with my family lingering over my shoulder. It seemed like a good way to pretend that my family didn't think I needed to be sheltered or that there wasn't anything wrong with me that they felt the need to hide for some reason.
