Remus and Roman fight. A lot. But not about anything serious (usually,) but things like the best pop-tart flavor or could they what if imaginary scenarios. It gets heated in the funny way. When this happens, the other sides say ‘the girls are fighting.’
Logan is the only person to own multiple, metal, labeled rulers
When Patton gets very invested in a person and is convinced they could do no wrong, their glasses are tinted pink.
Au ideas
Roman switches place with Roman and confuses the fuck out of everyone. Yep, I spelt Roman twice. Somehow, SS!Roman and RwR!Roman switch universes which confuses the fuck out of everyone. Yungblood is very aware that something is wrong while Virgil (at first) thinks Roman is playing some sort if weird trick on him. While RwR! Roman is trying to come to terms with being stuck in a universe where six different people look exactly like him and is unsure of how real he is, SS!Roman is going on an epic adventure, hopefully on how to get back to his world (yungblood regrets wanting him to sing)
I’m going to call this one “the hollow au.” Long story short, Thomas no longer has access to his sides or vice versa. A group of Thomas’s friends come over to find him in a weird, dazed state. Like autopilot but... Worse. Like he’s not entirely there. His friends go around the house to try and find something to inspire him or get him back to his old self. One of the friends go into the front yard and find this crystal. When they pick it up, they reveal Patton sitting in the grass hold in his knees and hiding his face. The person gets Patton’s attention, Patton rushes to check on Thomas, yadda yadda yadda, bit of expedition later and now these group of friends have to find the different parts of Thomas and basically put him back together. That's all
If you want more of these, lmk. If you want some more explanations on the au because you wanna write it, also lmk and I’d be happy to help!

When Patton gets mad, he stomps on the ground like a rabbit. This has given him the nickname ‘Thumper’ by Roman and ‘Stomper’ by Janus.
Janus can't smell, at least not normally. Janus has licked a flower before.
Remus doesn’t actually like the taste of anything he eats, but he powers through it because he knows Thomas doesn't either.
Virgil can sometimes be tricked into thinking he has purple eyeshadow, which will in turn make him embarrassed and give him purple eyeshadow.
Roman has one of those mirrors that's covered in sticky notes telling him how great he is. Most of them were written by him, but some we're written by Patton. One was written by Virgil.
Logan has a mysterious hole in his wall that he covers with a Star Trek poster. How that hole got there is unknown.

Virgil, but he’s based on fight instead of flight. He’s punk instead of emo, he’s got red on him instead of purple, he’s definitely more willing to throw hands, and the flirting with social anxiety video goes WAY DIFFERENT (Going up and talking to him? No problem. Not insulting him? That's the new issue.)
Normal Sander Sides, but everyone tolerates each other a little more. Virgil realizes Janus is annoying, but also the main reason why people lie is fear. Patton, after every severe disagreement, makes each of the sides something to eat because he just wants them to know they're loved despite the disagreement. Remus will throw earbuds at Patton when he’s about to say something SUPER heinous. Logan and Janus have conversations over books. Roman will, periodically, write a note apologizing to some of the sides if need be. Sometimes all of the dark sides bother Thomas at once because it's funny. They still fight and argue over things, but the only real issue between them is Roman being mad at Remus because he keeps eating bathroom supplies, which wouldn’t be a problem if THEY WEREN’T MY BATHROOM SUPPLIES YOU DICK
If I come up with anymore, I’ll let you know
I’m sweating
I am so sad because
I can't play Markiplier in Dislyte
MY CHARACTER IN THE STORY THING THEYRE DOING GOT FUCKING STUCK SO I CAN’T EVEN FINISH THEIR EVENT WHAT THE FUCK?!
At least mark’s design looks cool
He took Indi’s advice, he learned how to teleport
Some irony in this is that Jack could have probably rode a drone to his destination by this point.
My drafts are crazy
That day isn't today, BAYBEY, I’m stuck here!
one day, you will close Tumblr for a final time…
So, you know how Virgil can, like, ‘duck out?’ Like basically, he can turn himself off and Thomas no longer feels anxious to the point of aloofness?
Do you think Janus can do that?
Imagine Thomas goes through something and the others are like “dude, wtf, what's going on?” and Thomas is like “No, I can’t tell you guys” and Janus is like “no, that's fine. Man, I’m so tired, I think I’m just gonna take five, let me know when he tells you guys.”
What?? Why??? That would just be bad for everyone involved!!
I just saw your post replying to an ask about Thrussy and I have zero context as to what Thrussy is.
But
T H R U S S Y
Thrussy(noun): antis throat wound, but in a sexy way
Something tells me this has something to do with the blood, but I could be wrong

I thought a lot about how to analyze this first season finale.
At first, I wanted to make two separate posts, then one, then two again. In the end I decided to put part 1 & 2 together in one single post, otherwise I would’ve ended up talking about the same themes twice.
As you can guess, these themes are all centered around Anxiety and they are as juicy as you can imagine. So let’s not waste any more time and let’s talk about the first season finale.
_______________________________
Mr. Sanders is messing with me
First of all, let’s take a moment to analyze the two titles given to the two parts of the season finale: Excepting Anxiety and Can Anxiety Be Good?
Speaking of the first title, I love the assonance/contrast it gives, when we read it in full. “ACCEPTING ANXIETY, Part ½: Excepting Anxiety!”: it sounds like a pun (accepting him, except accepting him ahaha), but we can also consider it a perfect recap of how Anxiety has been considered until that moment.
In Taking on Anxiety, Thomas said:
[Thomas]: I have anxiety. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s something I can control.
That means Thomas acknowledged Anxiety’s presence and accepted this Side as part of him.
However there is a difference between accepting a Side and accepting the presence of a Side. Think about Remus’ case: Thomas knows he is a natural part of himself and tolerates his presence, but that doesn’t mean Remus has been accepted (yet).
Same happened with Anxiety in season 1: Thomas accepted his presence and he’s okay if Anxiety sticks around. But he still refuses to acknowledge that this Side might be important for his well being. He’s still refusing Anxiety’s role. Paradoxically, Anxiety has been accepted… except for his anxiety.
While the second title not only reconnects to this idea of accepting Anxiety for his role, but it questions said role. For the first time, Thomas is tackling it from a different perspective: he’s not thinking about how to deal with anxiety, but about the nature of the role itself. Maybe this role isn’t intrinsically bad and he doesn’t just have to “control” it. Maybe Anxiety isn’t just a bad guy. Maybe there’s more to him. Maybe he can be good.
And, since Mr. Sanders is a bad person, he will definitely NOT use the same title for a future episode called Can LYING Be Good in which, guess what, we will see a character who doesn’t have ANY connections with Anxiety, nope nope, they definitely didn’t show any similarities until now.
See? See? It’s not me who sees them as father and son, everything is screaming at me that they are father and son! I can’t wait for the fucking episode in which they will say “hey, we actually know each other”, so I can throw my best “WOW WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT, WHAT A SURPRISE”.
