I just discovered that each of the four core sides' established coping mechanisms were actually used in some of the other videos. (now I just need to figure out the reasons on when/why)
yeah, we're traveling all the way back to the Q+A video, where thomas asked roman, logan, patton, and virgil This question
here we see their responses, which i paired with the times we actually see them utilizing the methods they mentioned.
(I know this isn't quite a reflection's serenade, but the end goal is pretty much the same here: a motivational pep talk to yourself)
(here, logan offers his method of choice to thomas when he starts overthinking. It is also the present virgil gives him...)
(interestingly, patton mentions eating cookies in the same video, stating he "earned" a couple of them. if eating cookies is how he de-stresses, and he feels he deserves some after the Q+A, then what exactly was stressing him out So Much?)
(virgil sits on non-chair things to ground himself, and for the whole plushie video he was sitting on a desk which was notable enough for thomas to point out. for some reason, he was stressed about arguing in defense of keeping Thomas's stuffed animal around)
I know there's more to look into here as to why these sides used their coping mechanisms in these particular videos, but for now I'm just going to overthink my findings and hope I figure it out.

Idk if it’s brain rot or if I’m just like this, but another Sleep Token crossover idea. This time with Stardew Vallet
Ves- Sebastian, he’s sad, shy emo boy and plays a synthesizer
ii- Abigail, can’t decide if they’d be transmasc or not but Abby plays the drums
iii- Sam, he plays guitar… but he could probably play bass and he gives sunshine babygirl vibes
iv- Shane, this one was a reach but idk he’s quiet and grumpy until you get to know him and then he’s a big softie

I put this in my last fic but it needs its own post cause like tell me im wrong.
A poem Beatrice certainly would’ve written
Everything is perfect,
and nothing makes sense.
One half-silly smile,
a split second knowing glance
and you've lifted me from the ground,
freed me from the laws of man and earth.
And just because of that,
I'm afraid to love you.
It's not your fault.
Don't blame yourself.
It's me.
I'm afraid for you, and I'm afraid for me,
but I still feel my pulse racing
the instant you appear,
a tingling that starts in my fingertips,
then shoots up my body, .. a pulsating lightning bolt
that splashes into my mind
and explodes into.. hot.. blinding white light.
A buzzing, stomping insistence that I recognize
the effect you have on me.
I'm left short of breath, eyes wide, dizzy
and suddenly, longing for your gentle touch.
Chaos inside
I am everywhere
and nowhere.
I am limitless yet tethered
I am willingly losing control
but the fear balances on my edge...
I cannot lose control, again,
and the confusion makes me afraid.
Afraid to love you.
I know
if I let myself
I would be with you forever
which is much longer than a lifetime.
I would take all my choices, my dreams, my fear
and set them at your feet
my.. gifts of sacrifice for the only one
for who I would give my life
I would confess to you my joy
and hide in you my pain
for I know that you would view
each with a critical but loving eye,
You understand that I'm not the perfect woman
that I pretend to be
you're ok that sometimes
I'm not even up
to being me.
You accept me as I am.
You're the only one.
It feels so right,
which is exactly why
I'm afraid to love you.
Still, I see it in you.
I'm not that blind.
I can see what I'm afraid to see.
Your eyes shine when I talk to you
of simple things.
Your breath catches in your throat
when you've made me smile
I make you laugh... You make me laugh.
At little things and when we're angry.
When I am near you
I feel as though I should sing.
I wish for nothing
except our songs entwined.
I feel you tremble at my lightest touch.
You are a dove
unfearful of my captive embrace.
I belong to you,
and you to me.
Oh God, help me
because that's exactly why
I'm afraid to love you.....
......but I do....
~TP Sage~
