A small introduction of the "Figments"

Figments was/is the fandom name for the TsShorts characters appearing in Thomas's youtube shorts/tiktok's/vines.

Like Sleep aka Remy, The Task Brigade, The Wip force, Missy and Pranks, The Printer, the Microwave, the evil sticker, The Months, Dog and Cat, Sun and Moon and many many more.

I will mainly focus on the figments that "became" the sides, as in The Prince, The Dad, The Teacher and Anxiety, because I was the one who kinda named them XD.

So with that I present, a few Figments:

The Teacher Character.

The Teacher is a character from Thomas's Shorts & Vines. He is a school teacher, often seen being a bit chaotic and just an unhappy about Mondays as the students.

I was the one who coined the name Teal for him (My thought process was easy to remember name makes it easier for it to stick to memory)

Not to be confused with Logan Sanders from Sanders Sides.

They're not the same person, even if Logan evolved out from him after the first couple sanders sides episodes.

Easy ways to tell the difference between them is the tie and the logo on their shirt.

Logan got his emblem on his chest, while Teal got an eagle that's likely the logo for the shirt company. Logan's tie is striped with 4 different colours, purple, blue, black and yellow. Teal's in comparison is just blue.

Next up:

The Prince Character

Prince is a character from Thomas's Shorts & Vines. He is a parody of a Disney Prince, going out on adventures many of Thomas's friends make cameos as either other princes or princesses in most of the shorts, he once "stole" a horse.

I was the one who coined the name Pryce for him (My thought process was easy to remember name makes it easier for it to stick to memory)

Not to be confused with Roman Sanders from Sanders Sides.

They're not the same person, even if Roman evolved out from him after the first couple sanders sides episodes.

Pryce have the lil golden shoulder strap and not the golden extra bedazzle that Roman does. His sash is another type of fabric as well i think... Roman in turn had such a glow up with his new costume. Roman also got his emblems on his upper arms.

Next up:

The Dad Character

Dad is a character from Thomas's Shorts & Vines. He is a father of two young children and two teen age children. He loves puns and "Dad Jokes". He's joyful and goofy, and is extremely afraid of spiders, enough so to dive out of a moving car leaving his youngest children behind. Can not cook food... it will catch fire.

I was the one who coined the name Dayd for him (My thought process was easy to remember name makes it easier for it to stick to memory)

Not to be confused with Patton Sanders from Sanders Sides.

They're not the same person, even if Patton evolved out from him after the first couple sanders sides episodes.

These two are the hardest to tell apart in my opinion. It all comes down to the details, as Janus would say.

Dayd has a grey cardigan and a blue t-shirt with a black i think lion logo. Patton in turn has the grey cat hoodie with paw prints on the sleeves. And his blue t-shirt has his heart emblem on his chest. And to make it harder... we got Janus disguising as Patton... when it was the new shirt but the old cardigan.

And last but not least:

The Anxiety Character

Anxiety is a character from Thomas's Shorts & Vines. He is a personification of Shorts Thomas's anxiety.

Unlike the others, who inspired their Sanders Sides counterparts, Virgil appeared first in the Sanders Sides series before Anxiety, with his paper on his chest, began to appear in the short videos, making cameos with Remy aka Sleep, Pryce and Teal.

I was the one who coined the name Andy for him (My thought process was easy to remember name makes it easier for it to stick to memory)

Not to be confused with Virgil Sanders from Sanders Sides.

They're not the same person, even if Andy showed up in the shorts afterwards.

I would say these two are the EASIEST to tell apart... with Virgil's new hoodie and shirt. Oh and Andy's big boldly written sticky paper with the words "Anxiety" on them.

I had thoughts of mentioning more figments but... then this already long post would get even Longer... so i will keep it to these 4 since i had a part in their naming back in 2019-2020. Back when we were so hungry for characters to use in our fic's we went crazy over ANY semblance of a character. We named EVERYTHING.

DayD Coining Post

now, im a little new to the coining scene, so if somebodys already created a simalar term please let me know! im just trying to fill a niche that ive been looking for :)

DayD-

DayD is a term/label for those who experience/engage with vivid daydreams. This term is meant to be an alternative from maladaptive Daydream Disorder, as somebody who uses the term DayD engages in it as a casual thing and not as a coping mechanism! this term could apply to writters who experience their worlds before they write them, storytellers, post recovery MADD, systems who see this label as useful for their headspace/ alters, etc!

This is Not a MADD label!!! While daydreaming seems like a good way to comfort yourself, using it to cope can cause severe mental issues such as depression. Engage safely!!!

no DNI :)

Dayd: When will Ted himself...finally show up to the talk? Patton: The final boss. Logan: You guys know TEDtalks stands for technology, entertainment, and design talks, right? Dayd: I will not let Ted hide behind these lies any longer!

Today is a very special day isn't it

Bonus:

[blogquantumreality]

I was in an old group (HMS STFU on the now-defunct Journalfen) that featured sporking of Thanfiction's DAYD and one thing the sporker pointed out was the almost needless addition of bucketloads of MAN ANGST to Neville and the way girls and women in the DAYDverse tend to be reduced to stereotypes and love-interest characters (even as Thanfiction would repeatedly claim to be doing the opposite). It was basically a violence and torture porn bolt-on to Deathly Hallows, when you distill it down to essentials.

What's interesting is how just like Cassandra Claire kept her juggernaut of a fandom even after deleting the Draco Trilogy (which arguably added to the mystique), Thanfiction managed to keep the DAYDians around even after getting rid of DAYD. (I don't know why it was deleted but I suspect Thanfiction was about to shed skins and change fandoms, and from what I've heard this is an ongoing pattern of identity reinvention to keep from being found out as a grifter and con artist)

Anyway all this is to say Thanfiction seems to really like these sorts of hypermasculine personifications and characterizations, but that only works if you can take a canon character and actually make it work. Arguably Neville's canon glow-up formed a viable basis for Thanfiction to pull it off, but to my understanding that isn't so easy in GoT.

Andy cosplaying as Viserys is so on the nose it's almost funny. That said, after mulling on it awhile, I think Abbey's right on the money; no correct archetype for him to latch onto. Additionally one of Andy's primary fandom contributions seemed to be meta which means he had serious competition in regards to the GoT fandom. Also, maybe off the mark here, but one of the feelings I got from DAYD is that Andy really liked adding "adult" or "mature" events 1/2

2/2 to canon that was much more PG. Like all the sexual assault and war stuff that litters DAYD is very distant from the children's fantasy books that HP is canonically. You just can't do that in GoT, it's already very mature and adult thematically which maybe kept Andy more at arm's length. Plus I think there was a warning post about him that circulated in the fandom around the mid-aughts

These are all really good points, Anon. Thanks for the insight!
