I HAVE WORK IN THE MRINING UAHHHGGGGG

I really wish other devastating events would be treated with the respect and reverence Mizuki’s fifth is. Don’t get me wrong, Mizu5 is a fantastic event, I could go on about it — But so many other characters have hit their climaxes prior and afterwards, yet their stories just aren’t taken as seriously. An’s worldview is shattered during Light Up the Fire, her aunt figure revealed to have been dead all along? Her lines are considered goofy and constantly mocked, and the event is only really known for that Caucasian Destination BGM. Tsukasa realises he’ll never attain what he longs to, no matter how hard he works? The card and scene are treated as a joke! Really, just as much was put into these events and many others, but you wouldn’t know that looking at the fanbase’s response.

I’ll never understand why anthropomorphic animal cartoons like Robin Hood and Zootopia will go to the trouble of creating character designs that are meant to be understood as “attractive” or even “sexy” to the human audience but explicitly avoid showing interspecies romances between anthropomorphic animals. Why is THAT weird but, like, trying to make rabbits recognizably sexy-coded to humans isn’t?

So I decided to draw the back photo from @romanapologist ‘s Human Au (Part 10 in the comics) but I did a few things since it’s kinda hard to see the photo.

The background is different and I noticed that Janus was kinda sitting(??) in the photo and I realized it while I was doing the different color parts, so now he’s sitting at the edge of a building on the rooftop. My apologies that it isn’t exact, but I tried ^^”

how to write the sanders sides

an incomplete reference

i used this post by @suibianbichen and this post by @coconut-cluster as a reference, thank y'all for a) making them and b) inspiring me to make this!!

this is based on my observations from the series, interpretations differ and that's okay!! if you have something to add, feel free to let me know :D

Virgil

rarely dominant in conversation

communicates easily (occasionally non-verbally) with logan; struggles with roman (speech overlaps, roman dominates), patton (tries, but often overwhelmed); cuts communication with janus (ignores, cuts off), remus (doesn't engage)

"oh, for crying out loud"

very thoughtful speech, often weighted, pauses between words

struggles to get words out when anxious

either flat or urgent tone

very good at understanding non-verbal communication

bites thumb

messes with clothes when anxious/uncomfortable

will make up nicknames

small gestures with one hand while looking for words

two-fingered salute!!

barely uses visual metaphors, pulling on brief pop culture/meme references instead

does not like to talk about himself

mutter, snap, grumble, grimace, growl, tense, grit teeth, hesitate

Logan

often dominates conversation

communicates easily with virgil; struggles with patton (disregards, conversational styles clash); clashes with roman (argue, roman dominates, cooperation unintentional/non-existent); cuts communication with remus (disregards); insufficient data surrounding logan/janus

less impulse control than we give him credit for (throws stuff A Lot without thinking)

confident in his knowledge

common gestures: raises eyebrow, adjusts glasses, furrows brow

goes silent when interrupted or stutters massively (easy to throw off his rhythm)

very clear speech, sure in what to say before he says it

becomes barely more urgent when frustrated, struggles with expressing anger in a healthy manner so it seems to come "from nowhere" when he reacts explosively

struggles to express emotions

Does Not Sugarcoat (states positives and negatives side-by-side when only one is appropriate) -> comes off as harsh while interpreting others as idealistic, avoidant, secretive

don't just pull out a thesaurus for his dialogue; he doesn't speak outside the realm of regular understanding, just a little more complex

rarely uses visual metaphors, quotes sources instead, states facts clearly -> relation to topic occasionally unclear to others

unempathetic

(use few dialogue tags)

sigh, nod, correct, start, huff, pause, frown

Patton

dominates conversations when pressed to (often by thomas)

communicates easily with roman (clown-to-clown communication, Brain Go Fast and they keep up with each other), janus (often opposing viewpoints but similar communication); struggles with virgil (tries, but often ends up overwhelming), logan (emotional/heavily metaphorical style clashes with logan, often disregarded); no communication with remus (distracts from, takes too seriously, intimidated by)

not as soft as fanon pat, rather quirky -> a bit random

clumsy, also in gesturing

Does Not want to talk about his feelings but will immediately take to others'

Brain Go Fast from topic to topic -> fast speech

very willing to change, will play some follow-the-leader if he thinks it'll help

always believes he's at least a little in the wrong

that super strained smile he does when he wants to Move On Now

metaphors!! weaves topics together to make them more relatable/understandable to the individual, gets a bit carried away with them

impulsive when comfortable in a situation

puns!!

easily overwhelmed

struggles with words, keeps speech light, externalises feelings

highly empathetic

try, smile, chastise, insist, hesitate, nod, shout

Roman

consistently dominates conversations

communicates easily with patton (clown-to-clown communication, similar associations/can easily follow thought highways); struggles with virgil (often speaks over, sensitive to anxiety); clashes with logan (nicknames, speaks over, talks past Entirely); non-communication with janus (is manipulated/flattered or clearly antagonises); hostile towards remus (insufficient interaction)

he is So Extra

rhymes!! and yells!! and gestures holy fuck where do i just get a masterlist of all the roman stuff roman does

someone said his speech is somewhere between a medieval prince and frat boy and yeah that works

if anyone figures out the secret to roman dialogue please tell me i'm begging you

confident in his opinion until it's unmistakably disproven -> will argue until the very end

Brain Go Fast

no impulse control -> says really weird things

speaks a lot and very fast, metaphors are grandiose and sometimes miss the point a little

parallel: patton (occasionally) notices when metaphors get away from him, roman doesn't (corn vs. feral cats)

associations with pop culture (especially disney), mythology, etc

when he's uncomfortable he does a sorta half-smile and looks away

Really Easily Startled

not super empathetic

sing, grin/beam/smile, seethe, falter, stutter/stammer, cheer

Remus

consistently dominates conversations

insufficient data surrounding remus/janus and remus/roman; does not communicate with the other sides (disregards, brushes off, threatens, speaks over)

takes parts of what others say and adds onto own point (without speaking to them)

Brain Go Fast

constant need to be the loudest presence in a room (reacts to everything he can)

gestures are quick, seem controlled (if impulsive)

no impulse control -> says Anything that comes to mind

quickly desperate when ignored

tends to throw out fractures of ideas, barely/not elaborating on thought process

sing-songy, shrill tone

playful/childish in a kinda creepy way

there's not a lot to say about him because he's barely present

no (apparent) empathy

jeer, grin, pout, wink, wave, snarl, shriek, sing

Janus

purposefully dominates conversations: does this subtly (steers/takes over topic more than speech)

communicates easily with patton (opposing viewpoints but similar communication style); unequal communication with roman (manipulates, flatters, purposefully misunderstands, abuses weaknesses); non-communication with virgil (virgil ignores, cuts off, argues); insufficient data surrounding janus/logan and janus/remus

flat speech (seems sarcastic)

uses sources, simple metaphors/examples to explain points

small gestures, always seem intentional (performative)

acts superior, condescending

short fuse

struggles to adjust to others' points of view

messes with/looks at gloves(/hands) a lot

mostly calm/honeyed tone

feigns innocence sarcastically when attacked for anything

low empathy, high sympathy for others (knows, but doesn't feel what others feel)

smirk, hiss, coo, deadpan, sneer, grimace, sigh

like i said, this is an incomplete reference—feel free to add on! my general recommendation for writing any fanfiction, really, is to rewatch some of the source material to get a feeling for the character voices (videos i'd recommend for this: lntao, dwit, svs:r)

hope this helps someone!!

Something Needs to be Said

This post is about @pmseymourva and his current situation (at the time I type this). If you don’t want to read, you don’t have to (some probably should, though). As for Seymour, you need not pay attention to this; I only wish you well.

Here it goes.

What people fail to understand sometimes is that behind a blog, behind a piece of artwork, behind an OC or two, behind everything, there’s a person.

A person with emotions. A person with a life. A person just like the rest of us. He can get stressed. He can get overwhelmed. He can get hurt. He can get angry. He can be serious. He can be sincere.

Not everything is a fucking joke.

Some of you seem to find that hard to understand.

Quit it with the malicious sarcasm, too. It’s not welcome here.

Some of you may say that Pat here was “asking for it” when it comes to many things. But y’know what you folks sound like?

Victim blaming. You’re victim blaming. You’re blaming him because you believe he “asked for it.”

He did not ask for the remarks and madness that came along with drawing a female character. Hell, almost nobody does. People will do some weird shit to characters, yes, but that does not mean that the creator asked for everything the outcome would bring.

That’s like blaming a rape victim because they were wearing a “sexy” outfit, and therefore “they were asking for it.”

Sounds fucked up, right? That’s because it is. I shouldn’t even have to make that comparison, but here we are.

What the fuck is wrong with you people? Actually, don’t answer that. If your victim-blaming, I don’t want to know.

You know what all this is adding up to? Self-blame. Think about that for a second.

He’s being made to believe this is all somehow his fault. That everything that is completely out-of-his-control is his own fault.

Again, victim-blaming. Victim-blaming can have horrible effects on the victim themselves, and this situation is no different.

It’s like blaming him for the whole fucking AM Seymour shit. Yes, he created the joke, but it was just a joke. And people got obsessed over it.

Other people getting obsessed is out-of-his-control. That is not his fault.

That’s the fault of the people who can’t take the hint and shut up.

I’ve seen some of those asks (which I can’t seem to find, which is probably a good thing). Again, drawing comparisons to the AM shit.

Him creating a character does not mean he has control over the reactions of those who see them.

This, all of this, is causing him mental/emotional anguish (and maybe even physical for all I know). And that’s perfectly understandable.

And it’s not his fault.

That’s the fault of some of you out there. You know who you are.

AM is dead, now shut up. Cyana is a female OC, now shut up.

Seymour is a person who doesn’t deserve your selfish shit. Now SHUT. UP.

If you are indeed one of the people who does this shit, either apologize right fucking now, or leave and never come back. This shit needs to fucking stop, and if you don’t like it, fuck off and take it somewhere else.

And before some of you hound me, guess what? I used to be one of you.

Back when AM suddenly gained popularity, I sent in an ask that basically read, “You know you were kinda asking for it.” How I wish I could go back in time and stop myself from doing that. But I can’t. And I became part of the problem.

I may not even have a right to be pissed because of that. But at least it means I know what I’m talking about.

Don’t be part of the problem. Don’t be a reason why Seymour may decide (or decided) he’s done.

And Seymour, don’t be afraid to step away from everything. Whether it be from YouTube, Tumblr, fucking anything and everything. Treat yourself. Reward yourself. You deserve a mental health day–no, mental health week, month, year, however long you need to get away. You don’t deserve the shit that people are throwing at you, nor did you ask for it.

Take care of, and love, yourself, Seymour.
