I Did Another :)

I’m sick, but watching Jack’s charity stream is making me feel better :)

Do you think canon Thomas ever, like... Mixes up their names? We know for a fact Writer Thomas does, thanks to bloopers. Like, Logan alone has been mistaken for both Virgil and Patton at one point. Like, it has to be the same for canon Thomas, right?

Thomas definitely had one of those mom moments where he just rattles through all the names until he says the right one. Also a possibility, Thomas rattles off a couple names, gives up, and just points at them while saying “That one! You!” Thomas accidentally called Remus ‘Roman’ once and, safe to say, will never make that mistake again. (No violence (surprisingly,) just a lot of yelling about Thomas’s ‘audacity’ and how they aren’t the same.)

But also I feel the other sides are guilty of this as well. Logan called Patton ‘Janus’ once. Patton thought it was funny, but this haunts Logan. Remus called Virgil ‘Roman’ once, and Virgil brushed it off as a ‘hey, don’t worry about it’ kinda moment. Remus had never been more grossed out by a mix-up. (Ew, I called him my brother’s name? Gross.)

And Thomas has been called by all of the side’s names at least once.

HOLY FUCK I DID IT!!!

I miss the voices of unreason series ❤️

TOO ASS! [falls off my lily pad. hits the water and dies instantly]

Only these two what?

only these two, ladies and gentlemen. Only these two. 

ACCEPTING ANXIETY, Part 1&2: the real turning point

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”.

Been working hard and, simultaneously, hardly working. But I have a question for all of you;

If it's posted all at once, it may be more confusing, but all of the info will be there. It also may take longer

If it's posted in parts, it will be easier to digest but harder to understand overall in the long run. It time will be shorter, but will come out in parts with time in between

‘Creation’ - Oil on Canvas 32” x 48″ Fine Art Original

This piece is part of a larger series that taps into my roots/ancestry and the working class/post industrial town where I was raised. It’s an examination of both the personal and collective drive of that era of our past, from the late 1800s through the early 1900s, and a further reflection of the future it helped create.

Okay, but we all have to collectively agree on it. Hear me out on some starters: It's about implicit bias, Janus gets motivation for a redemption arc, and Patton says fuck. Anyone else?

what if we all collectively hallucinate a new sander sides ep and talk about it

Please, for the love of God have Roman (or just Thomas) Play undertale
