A sudden groan interrupted the silence as the man bonked his head against the desk letting out a sigh. "Come on Thomas, think you've done this a million times before it's not that hard it's not even school work!" he lifted his head up again and stared down at the paper again

There was silence as a young adult at the desk stared down at a blank piece of paper. Looking at it as if something would pop up any moment. Something that would make the still pen in his hand glide along the smooth white surface.

"...Nope. Can't do this," Thomas let out another frustrated groan as he laid his head down. "Why can't I do this? I would've come up with something by now, It's just a Sanders Sides episode!...that I want to reveal Anxiety's name in..." he looked at the clock on his phone and gave a sigh, shoulders slumping down as the phone fell from his hand.

For the past hour Thomas had been sitting at his deck, trying to come up with a script for a new episode for his channel. But nothing was coming to mind. No matter how hard he thought or concentrated. He was always working hard for his fans to come up with new content for them to keep them happy. So why was he struggling now? He always did just fine so why was he struggling to come up with something now? 

Thomas let out another sigh as he looked up. "Whyyyyyyyy…" He looked at the long table he and his roommate call a kitchen. Two mini fridges, two sets of small plastic filing cabinets full of pantry-like food, a microwave, a kettle and a toaster oven. "Maybe some food would work? I haven't eaten for a while...Yeah maybe that's it." Thomas stood up and stretched out his sore back, mindful of the loft bed above. 

He looked and looked through his mini fridge and filing cabinet, trying to find something that would catch his interest. Leftovers? He didn't feel like heating it up, Cookies? He didn't want anything sweet right now, Fruit? Another time, Pizza? Nah, not in the mood for pizza…surprisingly.

Nothing seemed to work, making him growl and slam the fridge door shut before booking his head on the table above it. "Come on, come on, come on! I promised content for the fanders! I have to give them content!" he looked around and let out a grumble like whine "Maybe food just isn't the answer-"

The sudden sound of birds chirping snapped Thomas out of his thoughts, making him look out the window above the table. A pair of blue birds tweeted along as they flew by, the sound of flapping wings only being heard since Nico left the window open. There weren't any clouds in the sky as the sun shined down on the earth. Thomas watched, enchanted by something that wasn't white with blue lines or an empty document. 

...When was the last time he went outside?

Thomas shook his head trying to come up with a solid answer as to when but failed. The most he remembered going out was when he needed to head off to classes or the library.

"Wow...Did I really lose track of everything…?" Thomas rubbed the back of his head as he looked over to under his loft. Papers scrunched up littered the desk and floor, pens were discarded around the neck, notebooks and textbooks had piled up with his laptop open, playing music. The touch of multiple empty mugs painted the perfect picture. "Oh...I really did...Crap,"

As another round of chirping ran through the dorm room, taking Thomas's attention once again. Maybe…he could...would he really be able to do that? He needed this episode written up and done but at the same time he was stuck and lost on what to do..."Maybe I can go out for a walk…? I have been working for a long time and it wouldn't hurt to try,"

After a few moments of Thomas reassuring himself he suddenly perked up. "Yeah...Yeah! I will do that. It could help me think more," he nodded to himself as he put on his brown leather jacket and grabbed his bag, making sure to have his phone and wallet "I won't be long, It's just a walk after all, Just a little walk,"

Thomas nodded to himself as he walked over his dorm door and opened it slightly, looking to see if anyone was in the hallway before walking out of the room, locking the door and making his way to the stairs. When he finally got to the bottom floor and opened the door, he winced at the bright light flooding his vision. He blinked a few times trying to get used to the light outside until he could see but soon smiled as his eyes adjusted, letting him see clearly.

He closed the building door and hummed a small tune as he walked along the campus grounds. Students and teachers were mingling and running to classes. People cleaned up rubbish that had fallen, reading and studying in the sun, enjoying the spring air. The flowers in the flower beds bloomed in beautiful colours that complimented the old and sophisticated feel of the buildings. The college shops were empty while the Cafe and library were packed with students. Thomas grinned. He might not live at home anymore but he loved the feeling of freedom and the opportunities he had.

Thomas watched for cars and gave a wave to Joan, Talyn, Quill and Nico as he headed in the opposite direction to them.

"The dorm better not be a mess Mr Sanders!"

"Me? Messing up our dorm room? I would never! I thought you knew me better than that Mr Flores!"

Nico laughed "I do. That's why I know it's a mess,"

"We're going to the Cafe, wanna join us?" Quill gave a cheerful smile.

Talyn nodded excitedly. "Come on, it'll be fun!"

Nico added, "it's so hard to get everyone together, please say you're free,"

"Sorry, I need to clear my head to help with this creative block. I'd prefer a walk alone,"

"I can help with the script tonight if you'd like, mate," Joan smiled and put a reminder in their phone.

"Thanks Joan,"

"I'll be there too if you want me too," Quill smiled.

"What did I do to get friends like you guys? I'll see you all tonight,"

"Pizza party!" Nico laughed "catch you later Thomas!"

"See ya guys tonight!"

Thomas continued to walk through the streets, watching out for cars and enjoying the livelihood of the campus. He finally got to the edge of campus and stopped. He didn't have a plan for where to go. He just left the dorm room, not really thinking where to go. He looked to the left and right. 

"Hmmm Shops or forest…?" He looked right, taking in the developed roads, shops and restaurants around the campus. He could go and sit in a cafe, watch how others interact and take notes of his own anxieties being within a public setting. Thomas sighed and shook his head

"I'm trying to save money and going to the shop won't help,” Thomas looked to his left and grinned "So to the forest!"

Thomas walked towards the dirt path that led into the dense forest that surrounded the left of the school. 

He always had a fascination about the forest that surrounded his town, hearing about its beauty and mystical feel from others on campus. Many of the students have praised the forest for its diversity in flora and fauna, talking about how it was a great place for inspiration. Thomas closed his eyes, hoping it was true. It would be more helpful for him if he was in a good area, taking him out of his old thought process and gave him a new one to think about as he wasn’t stuck in his messy dorm room and thus stuck in his previous ideas.

To Thomas's joy, he found a beautiful forest blooming around him. Many old trees surrounded the area, growing tall and providing moments of shade with their leaves. The sunlight glimmered though the leaves, creating a mystical feel as it reflected off the ground and rocks. The colour green was most pronounced within the forest, from the moss on the rocks to the fawns along the ground. There were other colours though, browns from the dirt and bark, pinks, purples and blues from the flowers that grew along the funa. Every plant varied with size, but all were stunning in their own way.

Thomas listened to the chirping of the birds, humming along to the tune. The flapping of the wings echoed throughout the forest, adding to its song. Animals of all shapes and sizes prowled the forest ground. Many stayed clear of the path but allowed themselves to be seen. Thomas sometimes was lucky to see them run along the path or along the branches of the trees. He glazed through all of this as he walked into the forest looking at everything he could still in awe of the beauty in the forest while he continued to hum the forest’s song. 

Thomas felt himself relax, enjoying every second of this stroll. It felt calm, everything felt so soothing and just, perfect. This would be an amazing set to do some vines or even a video down the track. Maybe Roman could show the imagination to Thomas? Or maybe they could shoot at night and this is Virgil's room? A forest of fears and anxiety. The viewers would adore it! But what if they don't? What if this was too much? Too ambitious? What if they hate him forever and cancel him?! 

Thomas sighed. Why was he getting all worked up about this video? It was just a silly video for his channel. It wasn't a final exam or what he was studying. He should focus more on his degree.

He was in his last year of Engineering, and with all the work that Mr Freaking Something had been giving him, he was working harder than ever to be able to pass. On top of that, he was also trying to keep his channel afloat at the same time. As much as he enjoyed and was having fun doing what he loved, he questioned where he would go next in life. College didn’t last forever and he’d have to make a choice. Did he want to pursue a career within the engineering field? Or would he prefer to have that as a backup and work on his acting and channel? 

If he wanted to do something bigger and help push society forward with his knowledge in engineering, then it could push back the channel quite a bit as he would need to spend a lot of time working to be able to do something good. If he chose to better his channel and work on social media, then he would have spent years going into debt for nothing and his qualification would just collect dust. Either way, Thomas knew he’d be spending hours upon hours working, hardly having any free time. The thought process brought up another thought to the front of his mind.

His family would be happy for him; no matter what he chose to do. Unfortunately, it would also mean more time away from them. He already missed a lot due to his work load, like the birth of his first niece, and his parents anniversary dinner, not to mention last thanksgivings since he was working. He just wanted to be with them and to be able to join in with all the family activities. He really didn't know where he wanted to go next after graduating, but he wasn’t sure if he was ready to let go of some of the things that made him happy.

Thomas felt himself shudder before he shook his head, trying to clear his mind. "No, No, that'll all come in time. Right now, I just need to relax so that I can try and make another ep-" he suddenly stopped in his tracks. 

Something didn't feel right. He looked around the forest, trying to figure out what was wrong. That’s when he heard it. He heard nothing. No birds, no animals, not even the wind. There was absolute silence around him, making him feel a bit nervous.

"Okay Thomas...Calm down and breathe. It’s okay, everything is okay. All you have to do is follow the path back and you'll be-" his eyes widened as he turned around. The pathway was nowhere to be seen. "How…" he realized that he must've gone off the pathway while in his thoughts without noticing…”Fuck,”

The air was heavy, weighing Thomas down. His breaths became short. It was harder to breathe. The peaceful atmosphere was gone. Thomas only felt tense. 

"Okayyy,'' he pulled out his phone while running his hand through his hair. "Don't panic just yet, just breathe. Maybe you can call someone and they can-"

His breath hitched as when he looked at his phone he saw that there was no service."...Ah shit…Okay...okay I still won't panic. Ummm, maybe I can just find my way back myself...yeah I'll do that, I'm sure I'll be able to find my way back…"

Thomas nodded to himself, making sure he had put his phone away safely before he started to attempt to retrace his steps.

He felt himself shiver, hands gripping his arms out of instinct. Why was everything so quiet? Animals were never this still, and there was wind earlier! He shivered again, not being able to shake off the anxious feeling he had about the situation. How could this have happened? How did he get lost so easily? This was a time to relax, not worry about getting back to his college...But no matter, he would find his way back at some point...right?

Thomas nodded to himself...Of course he would, the forest wasn't too far from civilization. He should be fine as long as he doesn't get lost again...Which he can do! He just needs to calm down first, take some deep breaths,then everything will be okay! There was no need to worry. This will all just be a funny story to tell to his friends later at the party!

Thomas took a big deep breath, trying to think positively so he could calm his racing mind. He would get back to the campus. Getting lost in the forest won't affect the rest of his life; he will get back. After a few moments of thinking, Thomas gave a sigh of relief, his anxiety went down a bit. it was easier for him to see if he could hear anything again. Any animals, the wind blowing through the leaves, hell even cars or people, anything! The silence was really creeping him out.

Thomas stopped in his tracks as his jaw dropped a bit. He didn't hear the sound of any cars, or any animals, but he did hear the small sound of whispers.Thomas looked around the area trying to spot anyone amongst the trees, hoping that maybe they could help him. He searched for a few moments and saw no one. Thomas decided to just chalk it up to it being just the wind passing by again, making him shrug. He looked around once more before he continued to walk.

Thomas felt his breath get caught in his throat, his chest squeezing as his heart beat the sounds of war drums. That couldn't have been the wind, he would at least feel some kind of breeze pass by, or some cold air, and he would have heard the leaves move. Something wasn't right about the whispers. Thomas gripped his bag tightly and picked up his pace. His breath got louder. He could feel eyes on him, someone watching him. Thomas listened closely to his surroundings and slightly shook when he could hear the whispers getting louder.

Was he being followed?

Thomas gripped his bag till his knuckles turned white and turned around, blindly running away from the whispers. He suddenly bumped into something and fell backwards.

“Oh gosh! Ow…what was tha-'' Thomas blinked. He had run into a person. Thomas felt his chest loosen slightly.

“Thank goodness! Can you help me? I'm really-“ Thomas stopped and looked around, he saw more people approaching him, creating a circle. “Lost…”

Thomas fiddled with the strap of his satchel. Something wasn't right here. He looked around the circle, trying to keep away from anyone. He ended up in the middle of these people. All stiff, not moving, not talking, but Thomas could feel their eyes watching his every move. Thomas took in their outfits…well, he’d call them a uniform as they all wore the exact same thing. Blue vest and bottoms, white shirts, leather boots and gloves. Honestly, they looked like they were all in the middle of a...period drama LARP.

Thomas bit his lip as he observed the golden masks that covered the top half of the faces. He felt his stomach drop and he slightly shook.

“What the…” 

The people finally looked at one another and whispered amongst themselves. Two of the people moved, allowing a gap for a man to walk forward, approaching Thomas. Thomas looked over the man, clearly this person must be a leader of some kind. He was wearing a long dark blue dress coat and had a lot more gold on him. 

Thomas really hoped he just ran into the middle of a session.

The person looked over Thomas and smiled. He removed his mask, showing a deep purple hair colour and blue eyes. Thomas’s eyes widened as he saw that the man's pupils were in the shape of a broken hourglass. "Well hello there Thomas Sanders. It's such an honor to be talking to you right now! We've all been waiting for a chance like this for such a long time and we're so happy it's happening right now!"

Thomas gripped his arms as he took a step back. "Uh thanks…" he felt his stomach chern and his legs became like jelly. He really never knew how to deal with overly obsessed fans. They always creeped him out. Thomas shook his head. He was being ridiculous. They must just really enjoy his content. You know, glad he ran into the middle of their session

"Allow me to introduce myself! My name is Doctor Emile Picani and I’m the head librarian of The Archive of Spiral Enlightenment!"

Thomas raised an eyebrow "Oh! That...um...nice? You do you...being happy is important after all," he shook his head "look, I'm lost and trying to find my way back to town, I don't want to take part in your LARP,"

Thomas felt really uncomfortable with all the searing. He felt clammy and was breathing quickly. He was really pulling out the confidence act here. 

Thank you Professor Prince for running theatre!

Thomas shook his head, trying to remove the thoughts of the Hispanic actor. He had to leave now before it was too late. Thomas took a step back from Emile and looked around the circle. His breath hitched as he saw the people had moved closer, making it harder for Thomas to slip away.

"What the hell?!"

Emile chuckled a bit. "Oh, sorry about this Thomas, It's just that we have been waiting for a chance to get you alone like this for so long now! We can't just let you go so easily,"

"What the fuck you talking about?! You've just met me!"

"Oh no no, We've been watching you and your interests for a very long time now. From how you get excited at the thought of talking about space, seeing you get fascinated with how time works, to seeing you so focused on mechanics, whether you have your hands on them or not-"

Thomas swallowed the lump in his throat as he stared at Emile. He suddenly rolled his eyes. "Oh ha ha, very funny now. All you did was watch my last vlog to figure all that information out and did a simple search. Now stop with this creepy act! Or I'll call the police!"

Emile tilted his head. "Oh? You don't believe me?"

"Of course not! That information is all public,"

Emile grinned. "Then let's go into some more personal things, You are one of four brothers in your family with two parents who treat you all well, You are currently in a college not too far from this forest working on getting an Engineering-"

"Common knowledge. I'm on the internet and over share myself, it's not that hard to figure out. Now seriously stop before I actually call-" 

"Fine then, let's go even deeper. You've been bullied since you were a young child, as for the reason, it is unknown as no one knows why they did that to you. You came out of the closet at age 18 because you called your professor, who was Professor Remus Freaking Something, hot while blushing. You have many friends who you just talked to today on your way here. All of them respectively go by the names Talyn, Joan, Quill, and Nico, who all happily offered to help you on your script for your YouTube series Sanders Sides to which you're currently planning to reveal anxiety's name. 

“That name is Virgil, inspired by the Arts Professor Virgil Tempus. You also have plans for a snake side called Deceit and a dark creativity that goes into exploring intrusive thoughts. You want to name them Janus and Remus after the Law and Engineering professors, as the group of friends, including Astrology Professor Logan Stella, Early Education Professor Patton Hart and the Performing Arts Professor Roman Prince, influenced the series. But you're not too sure about it yet as you want the names to have meanings that go with the characters. Am I correct?"

Thomas stared at Emile not knowing what to say. Everything he said about him was right...He even knew what he did on his way over to the forest...They really were stalking him for a long time...days, weeks, months even years. 

"W-why...No, how do you know all that information?"

"Like I said Thomas, We've been keeping a close eye on you,"

"But...But why? What is so important about me? This can't just be a super fan thing…"

Emile's grin widened, freaking out Thomas more. "Because! You are just so special, so unique to the point where it doesn't matter anymore! You're absolutely perfect for what we need!"

Thomas stayed silent, staring at Emile for a few moments. His mind whirled around with what he just heard. These…this...the outfits, the mannerisms, these people doing what this one crazy man wants, the stalking….this can't be role play...this was dangerous.

"...NOPE!" 

Thomas quickly turned around and ran up to the closest person. He bashed his shoulder into their chest, knocking them down. He jumped over the body and ran as fast as he could. He had to try and get away from whatever this was. He just had to get away.

"Follow him now! Don't let him get away!" 

Thomas could hear the anger and authority in Emiles voice as it echoed around him. The quick footsteps behind him were all he needed to know that he was in serious danger.

Thomas looked around for a moment, observing the forest. He spotted a more dense part of the forest, where the trees were larger with many more plants and rocks around, a perfect place to hide. He immediately ran towards the trees, hoping to lose the group behind.

He weaved and dodged through the forest, jumping over rocks, ducking under branches and avoiding animals that didn't seem to get moving. Thomas didn't understand why the animals didnt move or why the sound around him was muffled. It made everything eerie, like something was looming ahead.

Thomas did notice that unlike himself, the group of people weren't careful about things in the forest or what was in their path. Thomas got them to trip over rocks, get knocked down by branches, stumble along the ferns, and run into the still animals, causing them to fall over. Thomas wasn't the proudest whenever an animal ended up being knocked over.

Thomas tried to do anything he could to lose these people. He ran in circles, made sudden changes in directions, and even jumped over a river with some trouble. But every time Thomas lost one of the people, another would appear in front of him. He was running out of ways to lose them. Thomas huffed as his tired legs kept running. He could feel the burn though the muscles, but he could also feel the adrenaline rush though his body. 

Thomas surveyed the area, trying to find anywhere that he could hide. He wasn't sure he could keep running for much longer, he wasn't built for this. Thomas spotted a very large tree with tall branches that would be perfect to hide in. He grinned, that would be perfect! He quickly ran towards the tree, diving into the bushes and quietly going around the back. Thomas waited for the strange group to pass. Once the coast was clear, he jumped up and grabbed onto a branch, using all of the strength he could muster to pull himself up and onto the sturdy branches. He quickly covered his mouth, trying to stop his loud panting. This was killing him. He'd never done so much active running in his life.

Thomas looked down and bit his lip to stop a gasp. The group of...a cult or something along those lines, were at the bottom of the tree, looking for him. He held his breath as he watched the people before looking around. There had to be something to help him distract them. 

He looked down and saw his bag still around his chest. A sudden idea popped into his mind, making Thomas grin. After a few long and nerve racking moments of carefully removing the bag, Thomas looked around below. He saw another tree that he could easily climb to where he was sitting. Thomas nodded to himself and took out his wallet, putting it on his person before closing the bag. He suddenly threw the bag, causing a quiet yet noticeable thud to ring out. He watched the bag roll down the hill, rustling the ferns and flowers. The people quickly walked in the opposite direction Thomas was in, making him give a sigh of relief before he slowly climbed to the other tree

He waited for a few minutes, listening for any quiet noises. There still wasn't any sound of wind or animals. It was really concerning. After what felt like hours, but was really 20 minutes, Thomas gained the courage to climb down the tree. He was slow and careful, trying not to make a sound as he got to the ground and looked around the area. So far, there was nothing. Not a single person from that group had come back. So that was good, it made him feel a bit safer. 

Thomas slowly started to make his way in the opposite direction that the cult group had gone. Thomas moved quietly, staying hidden as he moved. He checked his cell again, still no signal. He didn't want to risk making a phone call and attracting anyone. Thomas eventually found the path back to the college, his heart beating loudly as his body relaxed a little. Finally! He could get home and get help! Thomas started to run towards the path, only for Emile to come out behind a tree and stand in front of him. Thomas tried to move out of the way but tripped on a piece of root and fell over. Emile didn't waste any time before grabbing him. 

"NO!! LET ME GO!! YOU GUYS ARE INSANE!! SOMEONE!! ANYONE!! HELP ME!!"

Thomas struggled with all the strength he could, but it wasn't much. He was exhausted from the running and climbing he had to do. His limbs felt like lead as his heart raced. This couldn’t be the end! He was so close! He just had to get away from Emile! But it seemed like no matter how much he struggled, he just couldn't seem to get free from Emile's grip.

He kept struggling as much as he could, getting more desperate as he was dragged into a more open part of the forest. Thomas spotted two people drawing up what looked like a strange circle on the ground of the forest. Thomas felt the horror build inside of him. They were a cult...they were really a cult...he's dead!

"Please! Please! Don't do this! Let me go! I won't tell anyone about this! Please! I'm nothing special that could be of any use to you!" Thomas cried out, tears falling down his face. He flinched as Emile suddenly snapped his head down to look at him with wide eyes, a look of offence and disgust crossing his face.

"Oh Thomas, You truly don't understand just how special you are, You are extremely special and so very important to what we want to do! Actually you're beyond perfect for what we need! You're a linear who is actually talking and moving around without a complete stop or delay! That's amazing coming from a linear person like yourself! But don't you worry, we'll all make sure to make you see how truly special and perfect you are,"

Thomas felt his stomach churn, holding back a small whimper as thoughts ran through his head. Linear? What was that? And being able to move and talk around? What was so special about that? Couldn't everyone do that? He still didn't know what was so special about hi- 

He let out a sudden yelp and groaned. He slowly lifted himself off the dirt. He must've been so caught up in his mind that he didn't realise that they had gotten to the symbol. Thomas rubbed his head and looked down at the circle. It looked like a clock? Why a clock? Weren't they called librarians? Why not a book? Or an actual summoning circle?

Thomas's eyes widened. He didn't feel anything around his arms. They had let him go! Thomas quickly stood up and ran towards the gap between the group of people. He felt himself bump into something, knocking him to the ground. He groaned, rubbing his head. What has stopped him quickly? Thomas looked around, feeling baffled that he saw nothing. 

Thomas raised his foot and kicked toward the outside of the clock, only to hit nothing. He held back a whimper, trying to make it seem like a growl. He couldn't move outside the clock. These people had managed to make some sort of invisible barrier, keeping him in place.

...Fuck!

Thomas shook, his breath increasing its speed, making him slightly dizzy. He was trapped with these people who had been stalking him for so many years, noting everything he had ever done in his life. With such detail too...how did nobody notice them?! How didn't he see them?!

Thomas couldn't focus, he couldn't breath.  Was his family safe? His friends? What about his school? Did they know his bank details? His medical history? His work ethic? How much did they know?!

Thomas blinked as a rip echoed through his head. The forest came back into focus, making Thomas realise that he wasn't alone in the circle anymore. A woman wearing a skirt had removed his jacket sleeve and was holding the fabric from his t-shirt sleeve. 

"Hey! That's-HEY!!" Thomas hollered out as two more people had entered the circle, forcing Thomas onto his back despite the fight he tried to put up and held him down. He heard a clap above him, making him look up to see Emile walking over, a cheery smile on his face.

"We have been waiting so very long for this moment to happen, Waiting for the day we find our Lord, The one who we will worship and listen to, Someone who will be our leader, And after trial after trial, person after person, year after year, we have finally found you. Someone who is just perfect for the role,"

Thomas felt his breath get caught in his lungs, his throat closing up as sound refused to escape. They wanted him to be their Lord?! No! He couldn't do that! There's no way he could be their Lord or someone for them to look up to! He didn't want to be a part of this cult!!

Thomas stared at Emile, frantically shaking his head as tears filled down his cheeks. He did not want this! This was not what he wanted out of life! He struggled again, trying to scream and get away. He felt another person hold him down and cover his mouth. Thomas's eyes widened as he watched Emile pull out an ornately decorated dagger from his coat and kneel down next to Thomas's right arm.

"It is now time to put the mark of The Archive of Spiral Enlightenment, This will show that we are ones with our Lord," Emile looked at Thomas with a smile that Thomas could only describe as sadistic. 

Emile turned Thomas’ arm so it was on better display. Emile brought the knife down to Thomas's arm and began to cut into the skin. Thomas gave a blood curdling screech, pain filled his mind, his skin on fire around each cut. Thomas couldn't find his voice, he couldn't fight against the people holding him down.

He just lay there, not knowing how much time had passed. He just let Emile carve into his skin. He screamed and sobbed though the hand that covered his mouth, wishing for it all to stop, just wanting to go back to his dorm.

Thomas gave a shaky breath as Emile pulled the knife out of his skin. Thomas could make out that the man was happy with his work, as were the rest of the people with Emile. Thomas didn't dare try to look what was there, not wanting to see the bloody mess that was his upper arm. 

"It's perfect. Now onto the next step," Thomas blankly looked at Emile. He watched as the leader put a hand on his chest. Thomas whimpered and tried to back away, he didn't want his chest to be carved into. Emile just smirked at Thomas as his hand glowed. Thomas gasped as the man's hand went through his chest like it was water! His chest even rippled a little! 

Thomas blinked as Emile slowly pulled out a pocket watch from his chest, making Thomas hiss a little in pain. He looked over the pocket watch that was attached to his chest though a chain.  The watch was a stunning gold color with what looked like the tips of stars sticking through the centre part of a lighter gold colour. There were small gems between the star points, in the colours of red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. The centerpiece was a circle that looked to be made of glass that had a few cracks on it. The inside was still visible showing many gears and four arms that were around a little rectangle with roman numerals.

Thomas kept looking at the clock over and over again, trying to figure out what it meant and how it was in his chest. Before Thomas could even voice any of his questions, Emile spoke once again.

"Looks like this clock is slightly cracked! Doesn't that show you how special you are?" Emile beamed at Thomas. He turned and looked at the last two librarians. "Librarians, come here and help me break the watch so that time will never be able to take our Lord,"

Thomas whimpered as he saw the last two people walk over and kneel down next to Emile. Thomas gave a silent scream as the three cult members started to break the watch with rocks. Pain filled his body and his vision kaleidoscoped. This was so much pain. It felt like he was being ripped apart, he couldn't even think. Emiles voice echoed through his mind.

"Time can be so cruel to take away some of the most important knowledge, too soon for the eyes to see. So with this last task being done, time will never be cruel to take our Lord away from us. Our Lord will be safe forever and will one day lead us into the perfect timeline, in the perfect universe, where knowledge is safe and timeless. All of us will be under the rule of our Lord as he helps us build up our world, making sure the most important things stay safe, where the knowledge will be endless and will never leave no matter how much time tries to pass through it. 

"Nothing will ever take us away, no matter how hard it tries. We are making sure our Lord is safe so that when the chance comes, he will keep us safe under his rule. Everything will be perfect! Our world will be perfect! Our knowledge, our acts, our structures will all be perfect with nothing ever stopping us!"

It was like Thomas was under water. He could hear every word that Emile said, but it was muffled. More tears glided down Thomas's face. The watch was completely  destroyed, barely holding onto the chain it was connected to. His whole body was so, so numb from all the trauma that had been forced upon it.

Emile made a motion, causing the other two people to stop. "Perfect, It is now time for the final step for our Lord to be complete. Librarians turn him around and position yourselves correctly,"

Thomas flinched as the people turned him over. He felt the hands vanish as he hit the ground face first, groaning. He really didn't want a broken nose on top of every other injury. He got on his hands and knees, lifting his head to watch what was happening. The people stood around the circle with their hands on the ground as they said, "May the connection be broken," over and over again. Thomas couldn't focus. There was a sharp pain on his knees. On his palms. He looked down. The circle was on fire.

He yelped and quickly tried to get up, but he failed. He fell right back down, his body feeling weak and exhausted from all the pain, chasing, and blood loss from his arm. Thomas screamed out as a loud boom rang out. Everything felt like a blur. His ears rang and his vision became distorted. The ground below him suddenly disappeared into nothing, plunging him down into nothing below.

Thomas tried to grab onto anything to stop himself from falling, but he found that he couldn't move or grab onto anything at all. He heard himself give out a muffled scream as he watched the circle above begin to close at a rapid pace. No matter what he tried, he couldn't do anything to stop his descent. He plunged deeper into what seemed like an endless void, the last thing he saw was Emile staring down at him as the circle closed. 

Everything went black.

[on-the-brighter-side-au]

Hello everyone! Look at this me and my amazing friend @ace-spiritwell have made!! It took a long time but we were able to do it and we couldn't be more happy. We hope that others are able to enjoy it as well!

Greetings, Travellers and Readers

The Authors would like to welcome you to the Sanders Multiverse. A place between worlds, between dimensions, a place that lives that might never have crossed could meet and befriend one another. The Multiverse has a galaxy look to it, a reference to the ever changing to the ever expanding universes that are created everyday. Who knows Readers and Travellers, your own ideas might actually be within the Multiverse.

Islands of the Multiverse

Inside of the Multiverse, there is an endless galaxy filled with many floating islands, stars, and rainbow nebulas. Each of these things provides a purpose in the Multiverse that benefits it. The rainbow nebula is what allows the Alternative Universes to exist inside of the Multiverse. The stars are what provide the light inside the Multiverse which in turn also fights off the darkness of the forgotten, distorted, and broken timelines just below the islands.

The islands themselves also have many interesting features about them that allow them to live inside the Multiverse. The first being that each island has roots connecting to roots of other islands as a way to travel between each other but also keep eachother far enough apart to not affect one another as they orbit amongst the stars. Another important thing about the islands is that the way the island presents itself depends on the universe within it. From native plants, to buildings, to the atmosphere around it, allowing any creature on the island to breathe. Every island must have it's own vegetation to be able to have the ability to grow Stargem Fruits, as they are very important to have the ability to travel the Multiverse. Not every island needs to have a water source to keep the vegetation alive, as the universe inside of the island and its crystal is what keeps the islands thriving. Each island has its own gravitational pull that relates to the universe inside. It affects how heavy the creatures feel as they walk along the island's surface, giving interesting variety throughout the Multiverse.

Lastly, under each and every island has a crystal that grows into the foundation of the island and gives out a light around it which in turn also powers the island, keeping it afloat. This is helpful in locating where the island is. The crystals also allow entry to the Alternate Universe inside of the island, Whether that entrance is in a building, down a hole or even within a plant. Another helpful feature of the crystals is that based on what color they are is what the universe within it is like. The colors and their meanings are:

Red: Violent

Orange: Fanciful

Yellow: Unfazed

Green: Nature

Blue: Despair

Purple: Fearful

Pink: Joyful

White: Knowledgeable

Black: Mysterious

Thomas’ notes below explain and go into further detail about how the islands work.

Root System

Another feature that is below the islands is the roots that keep the vegetation in place, though there is more to these roots then what it seems. The roots will find a way to grow out of the foundation of the island they are in and will connect to the closest thing possible around them, which is commonly the roots of another island which creates a strong bond between the roots. These roots will do anything to be able to grab onto something else, even mouthing other objects if needed.

While being the roots of vegetation, they form quite a strong and sturdy bridge dispute being narrow at the same time. The roots are about 5 meters wide in size and can hold up to about 800,000 tons. It's the perfect form of transportation between islands without abilities, but it is very easy to fall off the bridge into the void below the islands if not careful. The roots do not have their own gravitational pull as they are not part of any  foundation of land or have a connection to a crystal. Although they do carry over the atmosphere of the closet onto the next.

Core Universe

The Core Universe is the most important universe and timeline within the Multiverse as it is essentially the "Cannon Universe", a universe you all know well. This universe  allows the island to exist and function properly, creating the Multiverse. The way the Core universe is physically represented within the Sanders Multiverse is by the rainbow nebulas that travel around the Multiverse.

Although while the Core universe is what keeps the islands existing it is unreachable itself meaning that no one can enter or mess with it. Even so the nebula still needs a protector to make sure nothing happens to it and that protector is none other than Thomas Sanders. Thomas is meant to protect and watch over this nebula to make sure nothing happens to it whether it's something trying to enter it or destroy it.

Thomas' notes below explain and go more into depth about the root system and the strange Core Universe.

The Void Below

While the multiverse is an endless galaxy, the islands and their universes unfortunately are not, therefore they always have a limit. Within the Multiverse there is a point where islands no longer dwell. This area is called The Void Below, there being nothing except for the forgotten and damaged timelines and universes that are broken into nothing. 

Due to there being no islands within the void, there is no atmosphere as there is no life within the darkness. This in turn makes the void a very dangerous place, as creatures will not be able to breathe. These timelines still have their own gravitational pull and just like the islands some are stronger than others, meaning that if a creature were to fall in the void not only would they be slowly suffocating, they would also be slowly turned into dust from the pulverising nature of the gravitational pull. Luckily, anyone who 'perishes' within the void will wake up within their own world with no memory of what happened to them with only scars left behind to show what happened to them.

Stargem Fruit

While the Multiverse holds many kinds of vegetation there is one special fruit that grows inside the Multiverse that is very special. This fruit is called The Stargem fruit. The Stargem fruit is special because it is a berry that naturally grows in a pair within the Multiverse on a vine like stem that is connected to a branch. The presentation of the Stargem is also special as it presents in the shape of a star shaped gem similar to a starbit from Super Mario Galaxy.

The Stargem is a white colour that reflects the light when it hits the friut, giving off a rainbow reflection around the fruit. While it may look like a gem, the Stargem fruit is actually rather soft and edible, similar to an peach. The Stargem fruit tastes sweet, similar to a honey cinnamon flavor. The Stargem fruit only grows inside the Multiverse because it is what prevents and fights off Multiverse Sickness before it's symptoms take over. Though if a creature were to already have Multiverse sickness then the Stargem fruit will help the body heal while fighting off the symptoms.

Once again, Thomas has written his thoughts and observations around the Void Below and the Stargem Fruit. You'll find them in the pages below.

Multiverse Sickness

Although as lovely as it would seem to be inside the Multiverse with everything that is lovely there must always be a price. This price is called Multiverse Sickness. Creatures that dwell within the dimensions are never mentioned to leave their universe. Whenever a creature enters the Multiverse, they would fall ill as the Multiverse is much different then the world they know. Multiverse Sickness can be compared to altitude sickness due to the Multiverse having a different pressure than within dimensions.

Multiverse Sickness would take up to 30 minutes to an hour for the symptoms to take effect on the creature, so it is very important to look out for them before they fully take effect. The symptoms known are:

Nausea

Hissing or ringing in the ear

Double vision 

Sweaty or clammy skin

Dizzy, with it either being the room is spinning or passing out due to the motion

Chest pain

Headaches and Migraines

Trouble breathing

And confusion

The symptoms are important as Multiverse Sickness is more likely to affect the elderly and young as they have frail bodies that will not easily fight the sickness as it takes effect.

Lastly, Multiverse Sickness will take up to a week to heal from as the symptoms can be very strong but the symptoms can also be exacerbated if the creature stays within the Multiverse while still ill. If the creature would like to avoid Multiverse Sickness then the creature must eat a Stargem fruit before the symptoms take effect so that they will become immune to it during that visit. Though if a creature were to eat a Stargem fruit while ill with Multiverse Sickness, then they would be able to heal faster.

Thomas has taken notes about this illness in his journal below. It goes into his thoughts and experiences with the Multiverse Sickness.

That is all for now. The Authors hope that you understand what was said and that you enjoy the new information.

Until next time Travellers and Readers,

Happy Pride month!! Here's a little something I did to celebrate as I think figured out what I am right now but I'm really happy with the way it turned out

Did a different method and went out of my comfort zone. It's not perfect and might not be the most accurate look for me but it's okay

Anyway I hope you all have a happy Pride month and that everyone of you guys is valid!

[on-the-brighter-side-au]

Hey!! Look at this au me and my amazing friend @ace-spiritwell have made!! We've been working on this for a while and so if you could take a look at it that would be nice but of course you don't have to if you don't want to

Greetings Travellers and Readers. Welcome to the Thomas Multiverse where all the peculiar adventures of Thomas Sanders and his "sides" will take place. All just for being at the wrong place at the very wrong time. Time is ticking and each moment that passes becomes a new memory in your mind whether you would like it to be there or not is a choice. But choose wisely on what choice you make as the clock will always be ticking so one choice could be your last.

All characters belong to Thomas Sanders and his team. The Authors have only created the au and some original characters that will help give progress to the tale. This will include characters from Sanders sides, Cartoon therapy, and TS shorts/property. Once again the authors do not own the characters and will say if the character is original. Thank you for understanding.

Now while this is a fun little Alternate Universe, the authors must warn now that there will be moments of unpleasantries and darker themes within this novel. The Authors are giving a warning of what is to come as the authors would like for this Alternate Universe to be enjoyable for whomever reads it.

The triggers are:

Space with the multiverse

Hights

Not always correct science/made up science

Time discussions

Breaking the law

Being on the run

Violence:

Knives

Guns

Swords

Weapons

Shooting

Stabbings

Torture

Children being hurt

Cages

Medical triggers:

Experimentation

Awake surgeries

Medical trauma

The use of the word host in a medical term regarding parasites

Parasites

Medical violence

Scientists

Laboratories

Body:

Gore

Body horror

Blood

Injuries

Mentally:

Panic attacks

Anxiety

Self hatred

Abandonment

Mental health problems

Memory loss

LGBT+ specific:

Transphobia

Homophobia

Queerphobia

Misgendering, accidental and on purpose

In world things:

Small spaces

Masks

Toxic air/suffocation

Robots

This is what the Authors have at the moment and are planning to add more things as time passes on. If the Authors have missed anything or you would like something to be added please just message one of the authors and the Authors gladly record the missed trigger. Please don't be rude about it as the Authors are still human.

As the gears turn in a machine, so does the workings of this creation. The working Mechanisms of This Alternate Universe will show up within these pages. From the workings of the Multiverse to the smallest laws of time, everything will be recorded as it is revealed in time.

The pages are currently blank, but for how long? Only the authors know.

From characters being cold and cruel to characters being small and bright. The story is littered with many strange characters and beings that will show out through the multiverse. But who can you learn to trust? Being in a game of friend or foe you must choose wisely who you choose to be with or else you will regret it.

The pages are currently blank, but for how long? Only the authors know.

A timeline and a novel are very similar. Both have twists and turns, surprises, joy and despair. Looking through a timeline is much like reading a book. Not everything is always as it seems and the story never ends just because the reader stopped reading.

The pages are currently blank, but for how long? Only the authors know.

Think about a crystal, as a whole. But when looking closer, you can see the fractures with it. Each fracture in the crystal, big or small, holds it's very own story. It may be broken but it has held out for so long living to show the scars of every tale it has gone through beyond its main fracture to show it's beauty.

Once again the pages are currently blank, with information only the authors know.

This is where all the questions of importance will be. So pick up the quill, don't be timid. The authors will connect the most important Questions to the pages of this tale.

‐-----------------

That's all for now. The authors will add more things as time passes on but for now the authors hope that you enjoy this and hope to see you next time.

This looks absolutely amazing!!!! You're an amazing artist Ace!!!

Hey StarSouls!

Wanted to do some more space type art after I did this profile picture. It wasn’t going to be a pink and purple colour scheme, but I was fiddling with the hues of the large planet, landed on pink and fell in love!

I’m so proud of how far I’ve come since February and how much better my art looks! This might be able to pass as kinda professional.

Anyway, stay safe out there StarSouls! Reach for your dreams and know that over time, you will improve.

Lady of Nightmares and Grief

Welp I'll give it my best shot. It's been a long time since I've done this

﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏

Never ending

Tick tick tick tick tick

That's all you heard as you layed alone in your bed. The clock giving you a painful reminder of just how alone you are

Not that anyone could blame you really. Just about everyone in your family has left you alone over nothing. You keep reminding yourself that's it's not you it's them but each time you do the pain only grows worse

Knowing you won't get any sleep again you let out a groan as you drag yourself out of bed not even bothering to look out the window knowing it would just be as dull and quiet as ever. It's been like that for a long time

But as you walk to your door way you see something strange. Something just standing there staring at you keeping you frozen in place not knowing what to do

You don't know how much time passed before the thing moved away and walked down the dark stairs

Desperately wanting to know what that thing was you quickly followed with no second thought not even questioning the unusual amount of darkness at the bottom

Once at the bottom you looked around quickly looking for any sigh of movement. Anything to show that the thing was still there and to your surprise it was

It was just standing there again. Just staring at you with blank eyes not moving or saying anything. Just staring

You stared back when you suddenly regained your senses

What the hell were you doing?! Why did you follow that thing down. And why did you not care?...Did your sadness get to you that much?

You stood there for a few moments before you shook your head. You had to go. You had to hide before that thing took anymore control of you

So you quickly turn around and tried to run back up the stairs only for you to fall to the ground and cry out in pain

You look up to see the stairs completely gone leaving you in complete darkness with whatever that thing as that you followed down here

Now terrified you quickly tried to stand up only to quickly be pushed back down harshly making you cry out again

You already knew what had pushed you down but you still tried to fight it off. You didn't know what else to do. You couldn't just sit there and do nothing. You had to do something

So much time had passed with you just pressed in the ground struggling and struggling to get away only for you to just keep getting pressed to the ground more and more

You suddenly went limp exhausted from all the strength you used

A few moments passed before there was chuckle

"Finally. I knew you were a strong one but not this much. This is just making me all the happier. You're proving yourself well"

You felt confused at the voice of a woman. So quiet you almost couldn't hear it. So with all you could muster you looked up and immediately regretted it

There was a large pale woman on you with long black hair that nearly covered her face with a large grin of sharp teeth. She had pitch black eyes with some kind of liquid falling out of them. You could barely make out the long black dress in the darkness you were in

You flinched as the woman suddenly tilted her head with a crack

"Now here's what we're going to do. You will be what I feed from. All your nightmares, all your grief, all your pain belongs to me. Making me more powerful each time. Everything that you feel will be caused by me. You will only were feel if or ever allow you to. Once I have enough power you will join me. I will give the same amount of power and together we will cause others the ones who hurt you pain so much more pain then you could ever imagine. And then only then will you ever feel happy and love. My love. No one else. Everyone else is nothing"

You laid there shocked. Was this woman crazy? What the hell was she talking and why is she telling you?

"So do we have a deal?". The woman looked at you

You didn't know how to respond or what to see. How could you respond to something like that?

The woman laughed. "Oh why am I even asking? You have no choice in the matter. Now then I think our time is just about done"

You narrowed your eyes and opened your mouth to say something only to stop with the woman lifted a sharp claw and stuck it right in your chest right where your heart was

Feeling the hand enter your chest you froze in fear. What was she doing? What was happening

"Goodbye darling. Until next time"

You had no other thought as pain filled up your mind when the woman grabbed your heart and ripped it out

The woman spoke again but you didn't hear a thing as your ears rung loudly and everything started to fade

﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏

You sat up in your bed with a loud scream of fear in and terror

After a few moments of deep heavy breathing you finally convinced your to look around

You felt your body calm down more and more as you saw that you were in your bed in your room with your heart still in your body

'It was just a nightmare' you thought to yourself. It wasn't real. You're okay. There was nothing there. You were-

The sound of a creak made your while body freeze in pure terror and even though you couldn't see it you could feel it

You could feel the woman standing over you with a large I staring at her with her pitch black eyes

You didn't dare to move. Not even to try and blink just stuck in pure terror

There was a loud terrifying laugh. "Oh this is going to be so much fun. I can't wait to do so much more"

﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏

Woo! That was long but I hope you enjoyed it. I tried my best

QUEEN OF PAIN AND MADNESS BITCHES!!!!!!!!

(I’m really sorry this one only has one gender neutral option)

Okay so @sleepyfander is ready to begin! An introduction of what I'm going to do has been posted!

The ask blog can be found a post down but I'm still tagging it here since it's more quick @ask-the-brighter-side-crew

That's all for now!

Hi hello

Sorry I haven't posted an content of the au for a long time the story was just a mess and I did a bad job of even starting this au

So I'm doing an au reset and start over with better information and actually follow the proper story line that I had made in the first place

I'll also be making a master list of all the things that held anything said if my au and include some other fic's I made that don't even relate to the au at all. Some of it is still the same and some of it has changed

I will admit I made mistakes and will do my best to fix them. I might even make another Sanders sides account so this mess doesn't happen again

I'm sorry for the inconvenience and I will do my best to fix it

[on-the-brighter-side-au]

Oh yeah definitely!

Follow me on Twitter for more vampire nonsense

[on-the-brighter-side-au]

Here it is! The ask blog is finally open after forever!

Also I'm sorry for giving low descriptions of how they look. I can't really explain too much (also because my drawings sucks) so for now please just take these for now

Hope you enjoy it!

It's Time To Begin The Fun

The screen was pitch dark with no sound surrounding it and it seemed like that for awhile until there was a click a sudden buzzing noise

"Is...Is it-" "on? I don't-" "know maybe we have-" "To wait?"

The voice's of two young kids started to be heard making the silence disappeared slowly

A chuckle was followed

"Yes Re yes Ro just wait a minute and it'll be one in no time" "Oooooo I can't wait! I can't wait I can't wait! We've been waiting for so long!"

Another chuckle

"We know Pat. We're also excited we just gotta wait a minute"

The voice's quickly drowned out the the silence with their excitement and softness as they spoke

Suddenly color start to fill the screen as the voices got more excited. "It's on it's on it's on it's on it's on it's on it's on it's on it's on!"

"Alright hand it over you three". The screen went into blurry movement for a moment before a person with Square glasses, a black polo shirt appeared on the screen

"Hello and welcome. I know from the title and everything you can see what this is all about though I will repeat it. This is our ask blog where you can ask us anything and everything! Of course there are limits but we'll get there for now it is time for introductions!". The person gestured to himself. "I am Lo. Commonly known as logic and sometimes Logan though I go with Lo because it's a funner and easier name to say. Now on to Pat"

The screen moved and suddenly a bubbly person bouncing will circle glasses. He wore a light blue shoulder showing shirt. "Hello! I'm Pat also known as morality and Patton! I can't wait to get to know about all of you lovely people! See you around! Okay Vee you're turn!" "Do I have to?" "Yes! If you don't then they won't know who you are!" "Fine fine"

The screen switched and a person with light glittery eyeshadow and a purple shirt appeared. "Sup my name is Vee/Virgil and my job is anxiety though I'm chill most of the time I really got nothing to worry about. And I'm done. Who's turn is it now?" "Oh! Oh!-" "It's ours! It's ou-" "rs!" Vee chuckled. "Okay okay"

The screen flipped around to show two very young kids bouncing. They had necklaces and almost matching sweaters that were the opposite of eachother. "Hel-" "lo!" "My name is Roman! Ro for short!" "And I'm Remus! Re for short!" "And we're the creativity twins!!!". The little Twins suddenly hugged eachother. "We're the youngest in the group because we are 7 years old!" "That also means you're the cutest" "Awwwww! Look at them! Their bright red and green!"

Lo chuckled. "Alright everyone that's enough everyone. We still have two more introductions and the limits to go over before this can all start". The sound of giggles rang out as the screen moved again before it was suddenly going up

What was then revealed was a small person wearing an over sized sweater that fell from his shoulders and the sleeves completely covered his arms and hands. "Oooooo what's that?" "It's a video thingy! We're starting the blog today so introduce yourself!" "Oh! Oh my gosh I didn't know it was today!". The small person bounced. "Well! My name is Thomas! Though you can call me any nickname that works better for you as long as you're comfortable with it! Oh! And also before you ask no I am not a kid. I'm 25 years old the only thing is that I'm really small. Though if you do mistake me as a kid it's okay! I won't be mad. Annnnd I think that's all about me!"

Vee chuckled as kneeled down and hugged Thomas who immediately hugged back. "You did a good job Thomas" "Thank you Vee!" "Of course anytime Thomas...Now guess what time it is?". As Vee spoke he held Thomas closer who quickly gasped and flapped his sleeves. "It was a trap! A comfy trap!"

The Twins giggled as they moved the screen. Re held the camera while Ro quickly sank out. "Now here is the last one who needs to be introduced before we can start the blog!". As Re finished speaking Ro sank up and was holding something. "Everyone. Meet Dee!". Re flipped the screen to reveal Ro proudly holding up a bleping yellow snake with a chocker that had a red and green heart. "Hissss!" "We found him in the forest all alone!" "And he was the only snake we have ever seen" "So we knew we just had to take him in and give-" "Him a nice warm and comfy home!" "And now he's our pet! He has a nice big tank with everything he needs including multiple heating pads!" "And he can come out and explore the house as much as he wants!" "Oh! Oh! He always get a lot of cuddles from everyone!" "And he's really really cute and adorable!" "And-!"

Logan stepped in. "Alright you two that's enough. That list is never going to end and you're flustering to poor guy". He pointed to Dee who was wagging his tail and gave flustered hisses. "As you can see" "oh my-" "gosh! Sorry Dee!". Logan chuckled. "I'm sure he forgives you. Now. Introductions are completed it is time to end this with some things that are off limits. Okay?" "Okie!". Re handed the screen over to Lo and went over to his brother and hugged him

Lo smiled before he looked at the screen. "Okay so I will currently a short list of things that should not be asked due to many reasons so please listen carefully

-No Nsfw ask or inappropriate asks please as there are two kids

-No making the characters die or put them in a situation where on is dead. You can put them in pretend situations but not real ones

-Don't be gross please

-If you don't like the blog please do not leave an ask about it. Just move on

-Do not try to get any of the characters change something about their personality

-No creepy asks

And that would seem to conclude the list for now. If needed more things will be added to make sure this is a safe and good place". Lo looked at the others. "Are we ready to end this?" "Seems like it" "let's do it!" "Let's get this over with Thomas needs his nap" "We're-" "Ready!"

Lo smiled and he put the screen on a stand before walked back over to the others who immediately pulled him close as the all squished together in a group hug

"Hope you all enjoy the blog and we hope to see you next time! Bye bye!" "Hisssssss!!!"

The group all smiled together as the screen cut to black again and the silence returned once more

A little something @on-the-brighter-side-au and I did. Sanders sides hearts!!!!

[on-the-brighter-side-au]

Alright! Have fixed one part of everything I want to complete and that is account management

@sleepyfander will be the account where I post any Sanders sides content not related to Brighter side basically all randomness

@ask-the-brighter-side-crew will just be a little side blog for the au that you can ask random questions to that don't relate to the story at all

I hope this is okay!

Hi hello

Sorry I haven't posted an content of the au for a long time the story was just a mess and I did a bad job of even starting this au

So I'm doing an au reset and start over with better information and actually follow the proper story line that I had made in the first place

I'll also be making a master list of all the things that held anything said if my au and include some other fic's I made that don't even relate to the au at all. Some of it is still the same and some of it has changed

I will admit I made mistakes and will do my best to fix them. I might even make another Sanders sides account so this mess doesn't happen again

I'm sorry for the inconvenience and I will do my best to fix it
