#working through intrusive thoughts

[randomnerd737]

I know this was just him being a silly guy™ but also imagine Remus purposefully using really bad grammar to piss off Logan

The next recipe is

‘Logan’s ‘Get Ready To ‘Clean Eating’ (Almost) Instant Oatmeal’ 🥣

Get ready to be a dang health king lol

Fun fact! I used blackberries because Logan’s Berry jam is a blackberry pomegranate mix! 💙🖤

One day you're 13 watching sanders sides about that damn white bear experiment, and the next you're 19 and being told in your 300 psych class that, um actually, conscious memory suppression (EX: Don't think Apple! vs Think Apple) is affective in forgetting memories. So you ask your professor (the department head) about the white bear experiment and how it relates to the current research article we're discussing, and he goes, " Oh, actually I don't understand the White Bear experiment function, since all current literature disproves it (HUH) and no one uses the self reporting of a bell or clicker anymore (i agree, too freaky). I'm going to email the author of this current article and see if he can connect it to ironic process theory! "

...guess who is rewatching WTIT & DWIT tonight with a very different perspective of Remus and created a folder called "White Bear and TCAQ Thesis Idea". This Neuroscience Major!!

Remus : I don’t like this >:(

Logan : Me urging Thomas, or me using logic against you?

Remus : Both >:(((

"What's that song that Logan played in the "what the fuschia" scene?"

August 1, 2021

No seriously, what's that song that Logan turns on in wtit it's a banger and I wasn't able to find it.

[asingerofdreams]

Just noticed that in "Working THROUGH Intrusive Thoughts", when Thomas leaves and we get the shot of Logan looking around the space, the lyrics from the song in the dance scene which had been appearing throughout the rest of the episode ("We Could Fly" by Sam Sparro) are, "stop trying to hold the world"

IM SO UNWELL

i must confess that.............. (logan sanders amv)

[subhuman-and-feedable]

I finally got around to listening to “We Could Fly” by Sam Sparro (the song Logan puts on to help Thomas refocus it WTIT). first thing I noticed was that the line is “stop trying to hold the world” not “stop trying to rule the world” second thing I noticed was how much the song resembles certain scenes from that video. I don’t wanna make a super long post, so just listen to the song, because it’s incredible.

plot twist: the orange side is actually 5AM Thomas

[loganslowdown4]

He pulled that one out of his ear—

So the cupcake one must have come out from this sleeve 🪳

Mmm yummy lol 😂💚🖤

[sorry-not-feeling-it-right-now]

SO TRUE!!!!

Also one more thing that I wanted to add is that it also ties into his role as Creativity’s other half

While Roman’s creativity is tied more onto escapism and more fantastical, Remus’s creativity is more true and brutal, like addressing difficult topics through the power of fiction

Kinda like different types of creative media irl, which further emphasis that the twins are two sides of the same coin

okay, so... the new episode came out and i was sucked back into tss against my will. sorry to everyone who followed me for dsmp stuff 😅. buuuuuuuut- that means it’s time for another character analysis!

So I want to talk about Remus.

There’s been a lot of theorizing about Logan’s character development and the orange side (which i am super excited for!!) but i haven’t seen that many posts discussing Remus’s role in this last episode, which I think was a LOT more important than we all realized.

Here’s the thing: Remus is smarter than he looks. We haven’t gotten to see much of this before now- I mean, sure, he had like an entire 45 minutes devoted solely to him, but that was just the introduction. There’s clearly a lot more to Remus than he lets on, and we got a bit of that in WTIT. Now this episode was great for a lot of reasons, but especially because it started to answer a question i’ve had since DWIT-- what is Remus’s purpose? He’s intrusive thoughts, yes. But that isn’t why he exists. Every side has a certain job to fulfill, all of which help thomas in some way. For example, Virgil’s title is anxiety, but his purpose is to keep Thomas safe.

So what is Remus really trying to accomplish? If we just look at DWIT, it seems like all he’s trying to do is hurt thomas. But that can’t be right- it seems the only common factor between the sides is that they all want to help thomas as much as possible (though they have very different ideas of what ‘help‘ is). So how does Remus help thomas? Lets look at what he does.

Probably the most beneficial thing Remus has done is get Logan to snap at him. Why? Because Logan ‘I do not have emotions and everything will be fine if i simply ignore them’ Sanders needed that. And Remus knew this. He also— because it’s his job--knew exactly what buttons to push to get get to Logan’s breaking point. He knows that Logan is feeling ignored- which already makes him a lot more perceptive than any of the others seem to be.

Here’s the thing: A problem can’t be solved until it’s addressed.

So what’s Remus’s purpose? What has he done?

Remus is honesty. That’s not his title, no, but that’s his purpose. To get Thomas to be honest with himself. Remus takes all the nasty, slimy, twisted parts of everyone that they’ve all preferred to just shove under the rug and he brings them to the light. He pokes and prods and needles until they have no choice but to address their problems, and, consequently... fix them.

And here’s the thing! WTIT isn’t the first time Remus has done this. Remember when he first appeared? Remember all those little comments toward Virgil, pushing his buttons and dropping subtle hints that left everyone else confused?

Remus was the tipping point, the last straw that led to Virgil finally telling thomas about his past. And Remus knew this. Sure, it was awful, and there was definitely a better way get Virgil out of his shell—but it eventually led to what we saw in the first asides. Thomas let Virgil know that they were still friends, and it was okay. They were okay, despite a rocky history.

I‘m sure Virgil himself would’ve preferred never to tell thomas— but they couldn’t have truly moved on and worked through other problems if he hadn’t.

I‘m almost certain the same thing is going to happen with Logan being ignored, and whoever the orange side turns out to be.

Remus is working for Thomas’s benefit, even if it’s hard to see.
