I don't mind

Background information : Virgil has a bad habit of over heating, one day Logan learns why

Ship : Analogical kind of?

Warning : self-harm mentioned

"Virgil, are you Alright?" Logan asks tugging at Virgil's hoodie, "Yeah I'm fine" Virgil says dazed

"Don't you think it's a to hot for hoodie?" Logan asks looking down at his own T-shirt.

"I'm fine" Virgil says looking away, Logan thinks back on what Patton said earlier 'Rember he' s shy about it, so just keep a soft tone'

Logan grabs Virgil without thinking and takes him to his bedroom, "Logan-" Virgil go's to speak but Logan stops him.

"Shh~ it's okay" Logan says Softly while closing the blinds

Virgil get's more nervous the more bilnds Logan closes

"Logan W-What are you doing?" Virgil asks nervously

Logan turns around after closing the last curtain. "No need to worry, it's safe"

Virgil looks at Logan "W-What?!" Logan takes hold of Virgil's hoodie "Just take it off"

"C-Come again?!" Virgil almost screams, "Just take it off, it's okay"

"B-But what about m-" Virgil cuts himself off when he sees how worried Logan looks. "What? " Logan asks looking down at Virgil's sleeves.

Logan looks at Virgil again"M-My s-scars" Virgil says quickly closing his eyes in fear.

"Virgil look at me" Logan says petting Virgil's hair. Virgil slowly opens his eyes, "I don't care about your scars, but you need to cool off or you might pass out"

Virgil looks at Logan in disbelief, "B-But-" Virgil stutters "I don't mind, you can stay with me for as long as you need" Logan says sitting on his bed.

He motions for Virgil to sit, Virgil does. He unzips his hoodie and lays it beside him. "V sorry if this an uncomfortable question but.. Are they resent?" Logan asks looking down at his feet.

"define resent" Virgil says looking up at Logan "In the past month" Logan answers solfly, "then no"

Virgil yawns "You tired?" Logan asks looking back at him, "Mm" Logan go's and get's blanket for Virgil "Here you need some rest"

"I'm not sure what you want me to do here?" Virgil asks looking at Logan

"I would think you lay down" Logan answers with a gentle smile

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Logan have you seen-" Patton stops mid sentence "Virgil..."

Patton stares at the two under the space themed blanket for a minute before quitey closing the door, he'll let them sleep

Virgil and Logan had been all cuddled op together. Logan's surprisingly tight arms around Virgil's waist , Virgil's lose arms around Logan's neck

Then Patton hears somone mutter something so he get's closer to the door, it's definitely Virgil

"Lo.... no don't don't go... Please...stay... "

Patton could bearly make it out, but there aren't any footsteps-

"Shh..it's just a dream... "

Logan whispers back in a comforting voice

Touch them

Warning : kissing. Swearing

"Touch Them" Remus blurred out.

"Okay" Logan says getting op "No Logan don't do it" Roman says slightly sighing "Why not?" Logan ask sarcastically. "They'll hit you" Patton says chiming in. "No they won't" Logan says spinning around and walking over to Virgil. Virgil was drawing when Logan taps them on the shoulder.

"Hey Ve, sorry to interrupt you. But Remus dared me to touch you" Logan says not quite loud enough for the others to hear.

"Wanna freak them out?" Virgil says spinning around in their chair. "Hell yeah" Logan says droping himself on Virgil's lap. The others look on in awe. Virgil sees this and go's a step further putting their hands on Logan's waist.

"I'm going to do somting, and you can push me away if you want" Logan says drapeing his arms over Virgil's neck. Virgil nods slowly.

Logan kisses Virgil, Virgil kisses back without thinking

They stop soon after they hear a photo being taken.

Virgil looks at Remus holding the photo. Logan go's red and get's off Virgil's lap. Virgil takes the photo from Remus and rips it to shreds.

Virgil grabs Remus by the hair, "Do that again and I'll kill you" Virgil looks over at the others "ALL of you" then let's go.

From that day forward NO ONE messed with Virgil or Logan

A culture project

Ship : Analogical

One shot

a little background : Logan and Virgil got partnered up for a project. Logan being the school Punk. Virgil being the shy but bad emo. They didn't exactly get along at first

"Look Logic, I'm not a people person. Okay" Virgil says kicking his leg op on the wall behind him. "first of all it's Logan, not Logic. And I'm not a people person either, but we have to get this done" Logan says spinning around and leaning on the wall. "ugh fine, what are we doing then?" Virgil says looking up at the slightly taller man. Logan puts both his arms up around Virgil, trapping him. Before Logan could get a word out, he heard laughing he turns his head to see the people walking by where pointing at them. He looks back on Virgil to see. That he has turned red.

Logan without thinking, he took Virgil's hand and walks away with him. They end op behind the school, by the time Logan had collected himself. Virgil was sitting on the ground with his head down "Look Virgil, I'm sorry" Logan says sliding down the wall next to Virgil "I wasn't thinking" Logan mutters looking away.

"It's fine, just don't do it again" Virgil says looking op

"But what are we going to do our project about?" Virgil asks

" I mean it is a culture project, do you know any interesting cultures around the world?" Logan asks

"yeah, do you know Huil in Papúa New Guinea?" Virgil asks

"I do" Logan answers with a smlie

"Well what about that?" Virgil asks

"sure"

Walking home

Ship : analogical

One day while walking home from school, Logan and Virgil started talking about their home life

Virgil's not being all that great, with his dad and all.

Logan's being good with his loving mum and working dad.

"Sucks to be me I guess" Virgil says looking down

"No your dad is just fucked in the head" Virgil looks on with intrigue 'Logan doesn't normally curse' Virgil thinks to himself

Virgil felt words building up in his throat but before he could speak Logan continued talking becoming more hot headed with every word

"He just doesn't see how sweet and caring you can be, but on the other hand you can be a a bit of bitch when you want to.... But that's not your fault IT'S his fault your a mess......"

Logan looks down with a fond smile.

"But yet your still so lovely" It was barely audible but Virgil picked up on it,

Virgil let a small laugh escaped his lips

" I said that out loud, didn't I?" Logan says rubbing his neck in embarrassment, his face now a cherry like red.

"you did, it was cute. Would you mind going on a date sometime?" Virgil asks with a gentle smile

"Sure... That sounds nice" Logan says taking Virgil's hand

Good morning Lo

"Morning Lo, How'd you sleep" Virgil ask knowing that Logan didn't really sleep, "Aright I guess, why?" Logan answers without thinking "Well just because you don't come to bed last night" Logan realizes that 'oh fuck Virgil and I were suppose to talk about something important to him last night when I fell asleep at my desk' Logan's heart sinks seeing how Virgil is looking at him "Logan you okay? 'Virgil looks sad, as he speaks "Oh yes of course" Logan looks down at his feet, he is still wearing his clothes from yesterday, Virgil backs Logan in to a corner "Logan, Really I'm not mad" Virgil throws his arm on wall by Logan "are you sure V?" Logan mutters with a hand over his mouth "Of course not"

Virgil being a bit taller than Logan, picks him up bridal style. Logan go's red as Virgil kisses his forehead. "Logan sunshine, I ned you to listen now okay" Virgil says seriously. Logan nods with a worried look. Virgil starts walking to their bedroom, and continues talking "Logan you rember that I wanted to talk to you about something important to me last night?" Virgil asks sadly, "Yeah?....." Logan mutters looking away to hide his bight red face.

Virgil sits Logan down on their bed and undresses him, he puts him in a T-shirt. They both laid down, and Virgil holds him close to his chest

"This was what it was about, I worried about you sunshine..... Please let me help"

"I need you to tell me when something is wrong or if something is stressing you out, Okay?"

"I'l try.... I'l try"

I know Lo, I know

"But V~~~" Logan mutters, as the driver closes the window to the back , "Lo Sweetie i don't wanna go either but it's only a couple hours" Virgil leans in and kiss Logan on the cheek

"I know you don't wanna go but it's only one night with my dad" Virgil says trying to comfort his fiance "your dad hates me" Logan sutters out

"Lo, don't think that he just needs time" Virgil didn't even sound confident in his own words anymore. Logan drapes himself over Virgil hopping he would change his mind

Virgil only pulls him closer, holding him in his arms. Logan's hand are now resting on Virgil's neck

"Sunshine I love you, my dad won't change that" Virgil says pulling his lover onto his lap "But-" Logan sutters before he's cut off by Virgil whispering in his ear "when we get back home we'll cuddle up with a blanket, and watch movies all night if you want"

Logan go's red and says "Yeah I'd like that~, thanks Babe"

an analogical analysis from an intrulogical idiot

as a newly converted analogical enjoyer and orange side/dark side logan truther i feel the need to mention that their arcs FUCKING MIRROR EACHOTHER. I AM SO NORMAL ABOUT THEM. so because i have absolutely nNO life i am going to give you, unlucky scroller, unwitting follower or one of the folks who followed me for invader zim, the play-by-play of these emo nerds.

so

in the beginning (only going from the start of the series) they were admittedly at odds, but not as much as say, virgil and princey or logan and patton. the first time (to my recollection) that they interact outside of the group setting is the negative thinking episode where they debate, in which virgil (to my recollection) receives the first positive feedback from any of the lightsides. now, at this point in the series, logan is still relatively respected and listened to by the lightsides and thomas while virgil isnt, given he's a darkside its not that surprising. in this period logan gets progressively more and more ignored and brushed off, slowly but still, an important piece in this timeline that i dont think is recognized enough is mind vs heart in which is the first of MANY times he is forced to compromise or back down to keep the peace. in the same time however, more and more virgils points are heard out and taken into account and compromised with (dark side of disney, alone on valentines day, etc) for virgil being compromised with is a step towards being heard, for logan being forced to compromise is a means to shut him up.

then excepting/accepting anxiety happens. OH BOY! i feel the need to point out that our bespectacled boy very much does his best to help the situation by providing hard facts that "no anxiety=bad". but the consequences of this episode should also be mentioned, that being, when virgil gains a seat at the metaphorical-but-also-probably-literal-given-this-series table, logan's is all but ripped out from under him. this is shown in the episodes immediately following, in which patton copies logans logo (minor but should still be said), being forced to be stage hand in can lying be good, etc BUT something i skipped over on purpose so i could talk about it here

THE FUCKING NOSTALGIA 2 PARTER (aka 38:33 seconds of why patton is my 2nd least favourite side) now before i continue, do note i am relentlessly biased about how based logan is in this episode because his advice in it prevented my own anxiety spiral SO BE WARNED. so, in this episode logan suggests that partaking in recreational nostalgia could help thomas cope with being reminded of his breakup, this leads to the whole crew (+ janus who was probably in disguise as roman but i digress) going on a field trip to pattons room. this causes virgil to freak out and logan likely blaming himself for hurting his anxious associate because of his mistake (likely associating this with his other mistake of misdefining infinitesimal and that might be why he doesnt like to be reminded of it but thats just a theory A FILM THEO-) so logan leaves and lets everyone else sort shit out, starting a pattern in which instead of causing what he perceives as unnecessary conflict logan attempts to remove himself from the situation at all costs, while virgil becomes more vocal when he's uncomfortable with an idea or plan.

then a bit later things continue going downhill for logan with his contributions being more ignored and solutions dismissed, becoming more vocal, confrontational, aggressive and frustrated when he is pushed aside (sound like a certain early arc anxious side anyone?) this period also features an odd 2 episode alliance between logan and roman that i still dont quite understand but feel like it is worth noting. also during this time virgil generally doesnt show up in an imprtant role for a while for whatever reason (truly the episodes, why do we wake up through learning about ourselves fundamentally confound me) also during the period of crofters the musical going forward logan fixates on being taken seriously more than usual. now one of my least favourite and simultaneously favourite episode.....

LEARNING NEW THINGS ABOUT OURSELVES!!!! MY BELOATHED!!!!!! THIS IS THE EPISODE THAT STARTED MY 3 MONTH LONG PUPPET OBSESSION (DONT ASK)!!!!!!!!! now while i will gladly go into more detail about my thoughts on this episode at a later date i'll do a quick run down. thomas calls out that logan has a temper in the overlap bit (orange side probably= anger temper= logan therefore anger= logan and logan probably= orange), logan rebounds like a goddamn kickball from the prior episode into desperately trying to prove that he is serious, logan is a LOT more resistant to compromise than usual, while virgil just rolls with it when earlier in the series the opposite would be true, logan and roman are back to fighting as usual, and thomas says that virgil doesnt have to go puppet if he doesnt want to but literally everyone peer pressures logan to. i will go more in depth on this episode later, mark my words fam(ILY).

now, the next several episodes (besides are there healthy distractions, which has some adorable analogical btw) follow the format of "darkside pulls up/patton in the plushie episode, puts logan in their crosshairs, silences him for the episode, problem eventually fixes" (listen as much as i ADORE svs: redux, the amount of disrespect for logan in it is lethal to my system)

to summarize

1 for virgil being compromised with is a step towards being heard, for logan being forced to compromise is a means to shut him up.

2 when virgil gains a seat at the metaphorical-but-also-probably-literal-given-this-series table, logan's is all but ripped out from under him.

3 a pattern starts in which instead of causing what he perceives as unnecessary conflict logan attempts to remove himself from the situation at all costs, while virgil becomes more vocal when he's uncomfortable with an idea or plan.

4 logan becomes a LOT more resistant to compromise than usual, while virgil just rolls with it when earlier in the series the opposite would be true

5 thomas says that virgil doesnt have to go puppet if he doesnt want to but literally everyone peer pressures logan to

... am i the only one who sees this??? their character arcs are going in opposite directions!!!!!!!! if we analyze this trend, we might be able to gleam where logans arc is going next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
