Another one!!
A PsychoAnalysis of Virgil Sanders’ Playlist
There is an EXTREME theme in most of Virgil's songs of growing apart from someone. Like I'm talking heavy themes of a messy falling out, and I think we all know what its referencing. But I'll save that to the end. Here's the songs analysis!
Theres a lot of emotions connected with the collapse of a relationship, and its demonstrated so in SO MANY of his songs, so I'll color-code it to make sense. Blue is sadness and regret, red is anger and frustration, yellow is relief. Keep in mind that these arent all the songs, just the ones that most support my theory/analysis.
Sally's Song: talks about being unable to be with someone romantically because of the lack of acknowledgement towards the singer. "What will become of my dear friend? Where will his actions lead us then?" It's mournful of the loss of connection that the singer once had with the subject of the song, like they're longing for it back. Yes ik this song was maybe just added because he likes Nightmare Before Christmas, but it fits into this theme quite well...
It Ends Tonight: Talking about ending a relationship, cutting someone off very messily. "Maybe it's best you leave me alone", "Now I'm on my own side/It's better than being on your side". Despite being more heated, I'd say this can also be a song of relief due to the lyric "a weight is lifted from my chest". ALSO the "darkness turns to light" lyric can directly reference Virgil, and how he essentially "transformed" from being a Dark Side to a Light Side over the course of his character arc.
I'd Hate to Be You When People Find Out What This Song is About: bro this one is RIPE with themes of fall out, as well as regret. The singer seems to have had a hand in this messy breakup or fall out with the subject of the song, and seems resentful of themself for it. "When I asked you/Believe me/You never let go/But I let go". They are conscious of their role in ruining this relationship, and seem to place most of the blame on themselves for it. "And now you're trying desperately/But I'm tongue tied and terrified of what I'll say" implies that they seem to want to get back with whoever they pushed away, but are too afraid of repeating the past to actually reconcile.
A Decade Under the Influence: this song seems to be about friend group issues. There's hints of good memories "You kept still until the long drive home/You slept safe and close to the window", and yet theres the underlying anxiety of "I got a bad feeling about this". Then there's the whole "To hell with you and all your friends" that repeats consistently throughout the song, as well as the lyric "I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you" making me believe that the singer was probably the butt of the jokes or the most "replaceable" one within the friend group. I hesitate to categorize this song as "angry or frustrated" because it sounds more anxious and paranoid, but can also fall under relief with the context we have of Virgil's story; relief that he doesn't feel that way anymore.
I'm Not Okay: okay I get it this song was put on his playlist cause "haha Virgil emo" but I'm serious it also falls under this theme quite directly. And yes, its regret out of everything. "I never want to let you down/Or have you go, it's better off this way"; despite the singer not wanting their subject to be cut out of their life, its obvious they know its beneficial for both parties. There's a bit of relief as well as regret. I think this can also go along with Influence's themes of being the scapegoat of a friend group, because of the lyrics "forget about the dirty looks" and "You sing the words but don't know what it means/To be a joke".
Thnks Fr th Mmrs: Okay this one is my personal fav, I think Fallout Boy slaps. Anywasy, this song can be both heatedly passionate and relief, but I believe it better fits under relief. It seems like this event that happened is far enough in the past that the singer has come to terms with it. Specifically with the line "One night and one more time/Thanks for the memories/Even though they weren't so great". This can also be taken as sarcastically rather than genuine, and I think both fit Virgil's character well. The singer understands that what has happened has happened, and there's no way to change the past "I'm looking forward to the future." However, they still feel weighed down because of it "And this crystal ball/It's always cloudy except for/When you look into the past."
Ignorance: AAHHH THIS ONE IS MY ALL TIME FAV THANK YOU VIRGIL FOR INTRODUCING ME TO PARAMORE. Ahem. Okay. So I referenced this song in like my first post to this blog, but I think it's VERY obvious what Side this song refers to. I mean, take a guess: "Where's your gavel? Your jury?/What's my offense this time?", "The same tricks that, that once fooled me/They won't get you anywhere/I'm not the same kid from your memory", "Ignorance is your new best friend". Yeah this song is aimed towards Deceit/Janus 100%. This is a very anger-powered song and its clear that the singer holds immense hatred towards the subject. Deceit I believe is the best contender for this because of the entirety of SvS ("Where's your gavel? Your jury?"), and also because "ignorance" is something very intertwined to Deceit's character and his motivations. When we first meet him, one ofthe first things he says as himself is "what you don't know can't hurt you," which is a different way of saying "ignorance is bliss." Thus, "ignorance is your best friend". There's also references to the singer's past relationship with the subject, and it can be inferred that it was positive in some aspects, but ended up being toxic and repressing to them, thus why they left; "Yeah, we used to stick together/We wrote our names in blood/But I guess you can't accept that the change is good." I could go on and on about this song, but I think I've made my point.
The Ice is Getting Thinner: hooh boy. This one makes me sad. This song is about a relationship slowly dying, but both parties holding on to the relationship without really trying to salvage it. It seems that "change" was once again the reason for this drifting apart ("We're not the same, dear, as we used to be/The seasons have changed and so have we".) It's longing, just like Sally's Song, longing for how things used to be, even if what "used to be" wasn't healthy or beneficial for both parties; "it saddens me to say/But we both know, well, it's true/That the ice was getting thinner/Under me and you." It sounds almost like they are coming to a realization and acceptance of this.
OKAY SONG ANALYSIS DONE, HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO VIRGIL??
Well I think thats obvious. He's being eat up by these swarming emotions that surround his leaving of the Dark Sides. The fact that these make up 8 out of the 20 songs (and many more can be connected back to this theme of relationship fallout!) shows that it's been on his mind for a long time. If we go off of the implications of these songs, it seems that Virgil himself realizes that his leaving the Dark Sides was seen as some sort of betrayal, no matter the circumstances. He blames himself, he blames Janus, he's angry about their fall out but he also is relieved by it. No matter what happened, I believe that these feelings are going to come to a head one way or another. He needs to confront his past, and it seems that he wants to, but is also held back by his own anxiety over the situation (and his anxiety in general.) There's so much tension between him and Deceit/Janus specifically that is just bubbling beneath the surface that probably is going to erupt some time in the future and will drive a rift even further between the Light and Dark sides. In what way? I don't know....
~
hope you enjoyed :) virgil's playlist is my favorite out of all of the sides' and thats partially because I was an emo when it released HAHAH. I'm thinking of doing deceit's next, cause hes my fav character, and i just think its fitting lol. i also might redo roman's psychoanalysis bc i literally did that last night at midnight and I wanna add more evidence and direct quotes. im a nerd...i like writing essays XD
@thatsthat24 what do u think man did i do a good job 👀

Janus Dracula from Dee (among others): Who was his sire and how did they part? (If I remember correctly, he used to be human, right? 😅)
Janus has had many names in the Dee-Beside Me-Ours-Thrall series. Dee (Dracula), Nosferatu, Vlad Țepeș, Vlad the Impaler, Draquo, Gallu, and many, many more names that have been lost to history.
Dee is fairly certain that he was human at some point but it's really just a guess. He has no real memories of his humanity and certainly has no memories of being turned.
Dee has no sire.
In reality, Dee got a little too close to the spirit realm and that is why he was cursed with vamprism. Only the ancient Thecari charged with protecting the New York Public Library's secret collection know this.
Thrall is coming soon :D

You slowly push the door to Remus' bedroom open, hoping that it won't creak like your own bedroom door always does. It thankfully remains silent, except for where it scrapes slightly against the floor — the door hangs unevenly on its hinges after Remus slamming it open one time too many. You're afraid that fixing it would bring back the creaking. For some reason, silence is too much to ask for. You don't know why you ever expected anything else from the abandoned home for abandoned boys.
Remus is on his stomach, the sheets tangled around him almost resembling a toga and limbs spread out like a starfish. A green lava lamp gives you enough light to make out his features, cheeks still too sunken. It's been two years since you first found him and his face remains haunted by shadows.
You think there is still too much of Belief running through your veins; you had awoken alone and anxious, desperate to confirm that Remus was okay. Seeing his chest rise settles the hummingbird that is your heart. It slowly stops trying to fly up your throat or out through your ribs. Two years, and you still tell yourself that Deceit shouldn't care. You've gotten used to the flavour of cotton candy lingering on your lips.
You linger in Remus' doorway, torn between going back to your own room or giving in and checking on Virgil too. It doesn't surprise you when the choice gets taken from you, Virgil's door creaking open. Your anxiety must have summoned him. You don't say anything, knowing your apologies fall empty. If anyone knows that anxiety doesn't care for logic, it's Virgil. He has found you like this before.
Neither of you say anything, but Virgil's eyes rest heavily on you as you take a deep breath and slowly closes Remus' bedroom door. You lean your forehead against the wood for only a second before the sticky feeling and risk of splinters gets too you. At least your gloves protects you from the door handle.
You wonder what metaphor your fear of germs and desperate need for cleanliness is supposed to be. There's probably something to be said about truth and lies.
Virgil's eyes are still on you. You force a smile before turning to look at him, and his lips twists but his expression remains neutral. You wonder sometimes, what he's thinking.
You don't think you want to know. Especially not at times like this.
Your smile falls but you don't divert your eyes.
"We should sleep," you finally get out.
Virgil simply nods, and closes his bedroom door without a word. You must have woken him up with how loud your anxiety was — he only leaves without a word if he's tired. He likes getting the last word.
You should make him something special for breakfast as an apology, but before that, you should sleep.
Your bedroom door creaks.

You know what's so fun about drawing Sander sides human au? Literally they can be anything and everything but it's frustrating too because there's so many fun options.
Like Janus? Genderfluid. Or maybe they're nonbinary. Perhaps they're a trans man.
Maybe they're a tall trans women with long blonde hair and dresses like a Victorian goddess.
Or perhaps they're the shortest one with short brown swept hair and has slammed their cane into someone's kneecaps for calling them short.
And don't get me started on human interpretations of their scales. A scar over their eye, a snake tattoo, burn scars, etc.
And body type! Maybe Janus is a bit curvy, I love writing AFAB Janus with double Dee's because I feel like it woukd be a funny allude to a certain suggestive comment made towards snakes (if you know, you know). Or he's thin and oh oh! Definitely could see him with hip dips.
And vitiligo! I love drawing Janus with vitiligo. I headcanon Janus as someone with a disable, perhaps a bad leg, arthritis, blind in his left eye, the possibilities are endless and that's what I adore.
And these are just some ideas and for human designs. Perhaps ill have to share a collage of all my sander sides designs overall because oh b o y do I have quite a few.
Lemme know if you wanna hear more rambles about what I think the other sides could look like as humans ;3 I could go more in depth and such, my mindless is endless.

Remus: This date is boring.
Janus: This isn’t a date. I said I was going to get lotion for my scales.
Remus: Then why did you invite me?
Janus: I didn’t! I specifically said ‘don’t come with me’ and you said ‘fuck you Dee, I’ll do what I want’

all you have is your fire (2)
a continuation request for an old oneshot! (you know a fic's old when janus is still called "dee" in it, haha) thanks for your patience <3
i ended up writing him as 'janus' here on automatic, so i'll probably go back and edit his proper name back into the old fic at some point :)
warnings: miscommunication, lying, violence/captivity mentions, cliffhanger(?), i tripped and accidentally added a subplot
-
Janus had to admit, there were perks to being caught by an idiot.
Not many, of course, but seeing as that was his situation whether he liked it or not, he was choosing to acknowledge the bright spots where he found them.
For example, the free food and lack of fractured bones were vastly preferable to the alternatives.
Janus knew that the villain monologues from the twins’ giant-slaying games weren’t true to life, that humans were vast and varied and there were plenty of them out there who wouldn’t dream of harming another creature just because it was smaller than them.
Unfortunately, he also knew that for every human that peacefully carried an insect outside in a cup, there was another that kicked over errant anthills just to see the carnage— and, more concerningly, a third that would stick a spider in a jar and watch it waste away.
His current captor seemed like the ‘couldn’t harm a fly’ type, but Janus knew better than to blindly believe in the goodwill of others. Particularly when they held his life in the palm of their hand.
Literally. The human was carrying him around the kitchen like he was giving a guided tour of a room Janus had been in countless times already.
Although never from quite this angle. He shuffled back slightly, grateful that Patton at least had the presence of mind to hold the side of his hand against his chest, providing a solid back wall on one side.
He wasn’t prone to vertigo— not many living Borrowers were��� but he was also used to being in control of his surroundings when he was dangling above a fall that meant certain death. The reactive fleshy hand shifting beneath him was a far cry from the stability of his hook driven into the corner of a cabinet.
“And that’s about all the leftovers we’ve got!” Patton announced, finishing off a rambling side note that Janus had been paying exactly zero attention to. “But I can always make something, if you’d prefer that instead! And if you’re okay with the wait, of course.”
Cooking would distract the human for a little while, long enough that Janus could find some sort of escape, depending on where he was placed. That was, if he was set down at all, and Patton didn’t simply attempt to cook one-handedly. He quickly weighed the odds of the human being that idiotic, and didn’t like the way the scales tipped.
“Leftovers are fine,” he said in his most demure tone. “I wouldn’t want to make any trouble.”
“Oh, no, not at all!” Patton exclaimed, lifting his hand up to eye level to peer at Janus with concern. He automatically scrambled for a grip, barely avoiding digging his nails into the human’s hand. “It wouldn’t be any trouble at all, it’s really the least I can do for you as my guest.”
How polite of him. Janus grit his teeth slightly before setting his expression into something less blatantly irritated.
“Really, it’s okay. Warm food is warm food, right?” Patton’s expression softened into pity, and Janus hurriedly added, “I’m sure I’ll get to try something you’ve cooked later. After all, it’s not like I’m going anywhere.”
He managed to only allow a tinge of bitterness to seep through in the assertion, though the feeling grew when Patton nodded thoughtfully, apparently entirely unperturbed by the idea of keeping Janus captive.
“That’s right, you’re more of a roommate than a guest, huh?”
What a quaint way of putting it.
“Absolutely,” Janus lied, his pleasant smile thinning slightly.
“In that case, I’ll get something quick and easy reheated!” Patton announced with a smile, and then turned and slowly lowered his hand to the dining room table.
Janus scrambled off on instinct, relieved to have a solid surface underneath him again, and then turned to stare blankly at the human as he bustled over to the fridge, humming.
Apparently, he’d miscalculated.
Of course, he still couldn’t attempt an escape now, because there was no way to cover all the ground necessary in the measly few moments it would take Patton to microwave something.
How deeply vexing.
He allowed himself one extremely dramatic sigh, and then started casually wandering the table, attempting to look absentminded while also eyeing every inch of the space and measuring its potential as a getaway route.
“Woah!” A hand appeared in front of him, quick and unexpected enough that he recoiled sharply. “Watch out for the edge, little guy!”
Patton was apparently lighter on his feet than he first seemed. Janus’s apprehension about that particular fact was swiftly overcome by sheer disgust at the way the human was disguising his attempts to keep Janus contained as concern for his safety.
He was a Borrower. He’d been scaling heights larger than this for longer than Patton had been walking.
Not that he could say as much without revealing far more than he wished to.
“Whoopsies! Silly me. I’ll be more careful,” he promised, voice as saccharine as he could force it.
The crinkle in Patton’s brow didn’t quite fade away; the human must have been more wary of losing his catch than Janus had thought. “I, um, didn’t mean to startle you.”
Janus’s expression of surprise was genuine. He’d noticed Janus’s tiny flinch? “No harm done! I suppose I’m just not used to other people around, I guess.”
“Right, of… of course.” Patton smiled again, this one a little more faltering in nature. “Well, here we are.”
He set two plates carefully on the table, pulling a chair out to sit down.
Hilariously, the plates’ contents were identical in appearance, two matching heaps of fried rice. He’d apparently dished Janus an entire human-sized serving.
It was a ludicrous amount of food for a Borrower. The twins would have—
Janus cut the thought off, his amusement falling away sharply. The twins didn’t have this, and because of this human, they didn’t have Janus, either. They were alone now, forced to figure things out by themselves when they should still have a guardian looking over them.
He’d survived on his own from a young age, younger than they were now, and it had been hellish at times. Things were supposed to be better for them. Janus was supposed to make things better.
“Kiddo?” Patton asked, drawing his attention. “Is everything alright?”
(Kiddo? He was literally twenty seven.)
“Of course!” Janus replied with a cheerful wave of the hand, seating himself at the edge of his plate. “Everything’s just perfect.”
He kept his gaze on the meal in front of him, mind so caught up in scheming that he barely even registered the novelty of warm, fresh food.
Like he’d said, there were perks to being caught by an idiot.
Unfortunately for Patton, there weren’t enough perks in the world to keep him separated from his nephews for long.
—
Two apartments down, the nephews in question were standing on top of a bookshelf, their progress stalled in favor of a heated argument about directions. One that had grown progressively louder without their uncle there to chide them.
Loud enough to be audible past even the aggressive chords of a My Chemical Romance song, as it turned out.
From his position sprawled out on the floor, just out of their line of sight, Patton’s most antisocial neighbor slowly slipped his headphones off.

Just read Enduring As The Dark and remembered an ask I think about all the janus's meeting each other and now I'm stuck on the idea of if the dee in the au got some how magiced into the original world or universe or whatever (after everything) and just how awful it would be for everyone involved lol, just seeing how one little thing would have changed everything (and nothing) Not to mention seeing your worst fears come to life (Durant) and all the trauma seeing the person who was ether directly or indirectly responsible for some of the worst periods and moments of your life (everyone else lol) just the potential for angst and pure heartbreak for all parties is just 🤌😩
(Not a prompt it just wouldn't leave me alone lol)
i have a pet concept i dont know if i'll ever write that Adder does a divination spell and asks "what could I have done differently?" and then experiences durants actions from the main story in first person
i say i dont know if i'll ever right it because i dont think that he'd ever be able to look roman and remus in the eye again

There are two WIPs from the Happily Ever After main universe (Logan-Janus-Roman-Remus series) that I don't know if I'll ever share. They both take place post What Might Have Been. One is called Joy, the other is untitled. Each of them would require Major Character Death tags, as well as a healthy dose of unreliable narrator. In Joy, the unreliable POV is Remus'.
In the untitled (post-apocalyptic) story, the unreliable narrator is a six-year-old Joy. (OC, sorry, not sorry, hafta read What Might Have Been to find out who she is :D)
Which WIP is Next?
Meus ex Machina is finally getting a proper publishing. I made some big changes that required a lot of editing (and an additional chapter) so it's taking a bit of time, but it's coming. New chapters are going up here on Tumblr and on AO3 each week.
Story I'd Love to Write But Haven't Started Yet
Oh, I have several in mind. Honestly, I think Thrall, the final story in my vampire series, Beside Me - Dee - Ours - Thrall. There was no way we could leave so many open questions about thrall (and Logan's about to see just how easy it is to enthrall someone you don't intend.)

Ballet and Parkour
AU: Dance
CW: Remus being sexual but nothing over the top
WC: 1,307
Date: 12/9/2023 (Still playing catch up!)
"Don't get me wrong double dee," Remus whined, wrapping his arm around his boyfriend's shoulder. "You look hot in that leotard, but did you really have to wear it during today's practice? You were all over Lewis and I wanted to pull his spine out through his throat." The taller man made a grumpy groan, flailing his other hand about as they walked slowly down the street.
"And what if I said I was interested in Lewis? Would you try to stop me?" Remus stopped walking, allowing Janus to take a few steps in front of him before turning around. As always he had that cocky ass smirk on his face and it relaxed Remus a bit.
"You're not an idiot. If you were suddenly interested in that prick, I'd get your head checked for damage. You're the one who saw through his bullshit the first time. You called out what he was doing was wrong and inappropriate. If you suddenly fell for him, I'd eat my pointe shoes."
Janus snorted, "You'd eat your pointe shoes on a dare, that isn't very convincing. I swear, didn't you attempt to confuse one of the younger dancers, lying to them about how the only proper way to break in your shoes was to boil them with salt? She almost believed you too, poor girl."
"First off, she should know not to trust a man," Remus giggled, "But second, I wouldn't have actually let her do it. Those fuckers are expensive and I might have money to burn but I know not everyone does."
"So you've told me." Janus took a step back, obviously trying to lead Remus forward. "Why do you insist on taking roles that would normally require pointe shoes anyway. I've gotten away with never wearing them in our troupe."
"Easy, fucking over the gender binary," Remus stated, but realized pretty quickly that Janus wasn't listening. His eyes had that far off look he got when something had caught his attention. Remus stepped forward to look down the alley they were passing by. His jaw dropped. Some dude was practicing parkour in rigorous repetition. He jumped from trashcan to fire escape in a singular fluid movement, but the part that had most likely caught Janus' attention was the fluidity of his mid air spin. He threw his body with the force of a professional, spinning just enough to catch the fire escape ladder before letting it go. He reset, and jumped again. Janus had always been a sucker for technique. Remus, however, was always dazzled by strength, and those muscles were sculpted.
"Excuse me," Came a deep voice that snapped both of them out of their thoughts. "It is my understanding that it's considered rude to stare at people, and also that people normally are stared at due to committing some sort of social faux pa. Would you please enlighten me if I have stepped out of social bounds, or if you have?" It almost sounded accusatory but with room for explanation.
Remus felt his whole body blush and he immediately wanted to kiss the SAT words out of that man's mouth. Fuck, this was how Janus had won him over. What was with hot strong men?!
"Apologies, it's the two of us who shouldn't have stared, but we aren't staring due to a social faux pa. We're staring because of your talent."
"And your hot ass!" Remus chimed in, immediately getting a glare from Janus. He knew he was in trouble now but he just hadn't been able to help it. The man was hot, what was wrong with saying that? He wasn't going to go into further detail, normally it was best to let Janus do the talking. He gave his boyfriend a sheepish, barely apologetic grin, and then he heard the laughing.
Their new parkour friend was holding his hand over his mouth as if to try to stifle his joy. "A-apologies, I didn't mean to laugh, however, I've never met someone quite so blunt. It's strange to be hit on by strangers but I do appreciate the honesty." He walked over to the two of them, holding out his hand. "My name is Logan and my skill comes from consistent practice. Are you two also traceurs? I would much appreciate someone I can discuss technique with?"
Janus took his hand first, shaking firmly. He wasn’t sure what word Logan had just used by he knew Parkour when he saw it and decided just to play off that. Hopefully the other man wouldn’t notice and he could look up the word later. "Parkour's not our preferred form of exercise, however we can appreciate talent when we see it, and some of your skills would translate well with what we do." Not perfectly, there was always a learning curve when it came to switching sports or anything of that nature but Remus would be willing to learn.
"If not parkour then where do your interests lie?" He tilted his head in such a cute way. Remus had to grab Janus' hand to make sure he didn't go after Logan right in that moment. He knew he could be a lot sometimes, but he liked being true to himself, and sometimes that meant throwing caution to the wind. This probably wasn't one of those times.
"Ballet," Janus answered, "And it is rare to see someone pull off a mid air twist with that much consistency and fluidity. Especially someone who isn't a dancer." He returned Logan's smile and Remus started to pull a bit at Janus' hand. It was a stim, of sorts, anything to prevent him from running his mouth and ruining a potential friendship with this man. "Apologies, it seems my boyfriend needs my attention."
"Oh, boyfriend?" Logan asked, and the air around him shifted. No, no, no, no, no. That wouldn't do. Remus didn't hold himself back.
"Non exclusive. The two of us are those kinky polyamorous types." He cackled but if the squeeze from Janus was any indication it wasn't super convincing.
"Not how I would phrase it," Janus said with a sigh, "But yes, we are polyamorous. However, I think it's far more important that we're interested in seeing how else you can apply that talent. Would you be interested in joining us for a practice session? We would be amiable to hearing about your technique if you would be amiable to a few questions." Cool as always, he was able to ask Logan out on a date without even batting an eye.
"Very well," Logan replied, just as cool, just as calm. "However, I would appreciate if you would leave me for the time being, after we exchange numbers. You are, after all, blocking the exit to this alley."
"True," Janus said, pulling out a pen, reaching out for Logan's hand again. "But you've already proven to us that us standing here wouldn't be a hindrance to your escape. That is what intrigued us after all."
Logan nodded in response, allowing Janus to write down his number. "That is also true, however, perception is very important, is it not?"
"It is," Janus agreed, "So make sure to wear something comfortable for our practice session. The two of us would both like to see your skill for ourselves."
With everything agreed upon, Janus and Remus left, making their way a full block before either broke down.
"Jannie, he was so hot! Gods I hope he is interested because I am interested." They were still holding hands and Remus was swinging about, desperate to get rid of the energy he had bottled up.
"Me too, Re, me too, but we'll just have to wait and see." Remus nodded, but Janus had that look on his face like he knew something Remus didn't. Gods he hoped Janus had a plan up his sleeve.
