There was so many things Logan loved about his husband. He could try to list them, but then he’d be stuck in bed with Roman’s arm thrown over his waist and head on his chest while Logan himself stared at the ceiling all day.

Well… he’d say the rest of the week but Logan wasn’t really one for exaggeration.

Maybe he’d list the top ten things and then get out of bed to make his love some breakfast? Learning to cook had been going well, and Logan didn’t want Roman to be the only one to make meals.

Alright, that sounded like a reasonable compromise. How to order this list though?

As Logan was trying to figure out if he wanted to go in descending or ascending order of some of his favorite things about Roman, his husband grunted in his sleep and shifted until his head was tucked just under Logan’s chin.

No particular order then.

“One,” he started, whispering softly as he removed his hand from behind his head to run his fingers through Roman’s hair, “incredibly adorable when sleeping.”

“Are you making lists while I’m trying to sleep again?” Roman mumbled, his voice hoarse but still full of amused affection at Logan’s actions.

“Yes, but this time the list centers around you. Surely that gives me a free pass?” he asked, unable to help the lift of the corners of his mouth, his heart metaphorically melting in his chest.

“Mmm, I suppose. The first one was calling me adorable?”

Logan chuckled, eyes tracking his husband as he shifted to supporting himself on his elbow so he could look down at Logan properly.

“Yes, when you’re sleeping you tend to get as close to me as possible and it makes me feel incredibly ‘mushy.’”

Another hum from Roman that turned into a yawn where he leaned back a little too far and landed on his back in the bed next to Logan.

“What’s the list then? All the features that make me the most attractive? You better not forget my love handles. Or the mole on my chin. They’re very important to how pretty I am.”

Gods above and below, Logan loved this man.

“And your surgery scars, and your crooked teeth, and your acne scars. Everything about you is beautiful, love. The list is some of the things I love bout you, in no particular order.”

Roman hummed (a little more successfully this time) with a little smile from Logan’s praise of his looks.

“No order this time? You usually try to at least go in ascending from least to most.”

Logan sat up, back pressed against the wall as he watched his husband with a soft smile.

“Yes well, pardon me for being unable to figure out any one thing about you I love more than anything else.”

Narrowing his eyes, Roman tilted his head in Logan’s direction, not doing much else to move.

“Are you buttering me up for something love?”

There was a snort, and Logan rolled his eyes.

“Have you forgotten it’s our anniversary we’re going to be going to the sunflower fields Janus has been taking care of?”

Roman shot up at the reminder, grin bright as his eyes locked on the closet.

“Oh, I can’t wait to wear the sun dress and sun hat I bought for this trip!”

Logan chuckled, mentally listed Roman’s enthusiasm for fashion at number two, and then prepared himself to leave the bed.

“Alright, you get dressed, I’ve got my own things to do to prepare.”

Roman waved him off, rolling out of the bed, slapping his chubby stomach in excitement a few times before going to the closet.

Gods above and below Logan loved that man.

At number three, Logan put Roman’s stimming with his own weight, and then he left the room to go take a shower before he got started on breakfast.

While he was getting dressed, Roman knocked on the bathroom door to get his attention.

“Yes dear?”

“Would you plug in the curling iron before you leave the bathroom? I want to be a little more feminine than usual today.”

Logan smiled, glancing towards Roman’s basket of hair products.

“Of course, love. I’ll be out in a few minutes.”

“Thank you!”

When Logan was dressed in a comfortable pair of jeans and a blue tshirt he left the bathroom (having plugged in Roman’s curling iron and noting the closed bedroom door) and made his way to the kitchen.

He was going to do his best to make a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausage. Hopefully nothing would burst into flames this time.

“Logan, love, what are you doing?” Roman asked, entering the kitchen dressed in a beautiful sun dress that really complimented his body and his sun hat in his hands.

Looking to the eggs Logan was currently trying to save, he sighed.

“I’m attempting to cook breakfast. I managed the sausage and bacon, but at one point the eggs started to burn and I’m not entirely sure how to fix it.”

Roman’s smile was amused, and Logan knew he was doing his best not to tease Logan’s lack of skill in the kitchen.

“I’m flattered by the attempt love, but it’s not my birthday, today is a day for both of us. Why don’t you sit down and I’ll remake the eggs.”

Logan sighed, giving Roman a grateful smile as he sat heavily in his usual chair.

When Roman pressed a kiss to the top of his head, Logan’s heart swelled with affection and he couldn’t resist bringing his husband down for a peck on the lips.

The giggle Roman responded with only made Logan want to kiss him again.

“If you distract me with kisses we’ll have to get take out for breakfast,” Roman said, another giggle escaping his throat.

“Alright, I suppose your right. I’ll distract you with kisses after breakfast. Janus will have to tolerate us being a little late.”

His husband snorted, moving over to the stove to work on fixing Logan’s mistakes.

“We’re always late to everything on our anniversaries. Can we be on time for once?”

Logan let out an offended gasp, taking his years of watching Roman being dramatic to heart to really sell the fact he’s not at all offended.

“You would rather we skip out on our tradition of loving kisses and you trying to get away from my attempts to tickle you?”

Roman looked over his shoulder from where he was getting the pan ready to soak to get the burnt egg off easier to give Logan a look of exasperated fondness.

“As much as I love your kisses, I would like to cut out the squirming away from you jabbing your fingers into my sides from our “anniversary traditions,” love.”

Logan hummed, resting his arm on the back of his chair and his chin on top of it.

“Alright then, I suppose. I have other ways I can get you to squeal in that adorable way of yours.”

His husband huffed loudly, but Logan saw his smile as he turned back to the sink and turned off the water.

“You live to embarrass me. Five years of marriage and you have no respect for the love of your life? Honestly, Logan.”

Logan was about to retort, but the number got stuck in his mind, distracting him while he watched Roman work.

Five years. He’d been married to the most wonderful enby he’d ever met for five years. What a thought that was.

“Love? Logan?”

Logan hummed, blinking a little to get his mind back to the present and to stop counting the years in moments of Roman making him absolutely fall.

“You spaced out a little bit. Are you still trying to finish that list from earlier?” Roman asked, glancing at Logan while doing his best to keep his attention on the food he was making.

“Ah, no, actually. I think I forgot to continue that list after number three,” was his answer, smiling sheepishly when Roman gave him his full attention for longer than a few seconds.

“You forgot to continue a list after only three items?”

Laughing at his husbands shock, Logan stood from his seat so he could wrap his arms around Roman’s waist and press a kiss to his temple.

“In my defense, there’s so much to love about you I couldn’t figure out what to put next. You’re amazing in so many ways.”

Roman leaned back against him, shifting the eggs in the pan.

“Not in every way?”

“I love you, but nothing can redeem your blanket hogging habits or your inability to not sing awfully whenever a “meme song” comes on.”

With a snort that Roman tried his best to hide, he looked up at Logan with a grin, kissing his cheek.

“I don’t sing awfully, I sing to irritate you. There’s a difference.”

“What would that difference be, love? To scream in varying pitches that do not work well together?” Logan asked, leaning back a bit to give Roman a disbelieving look.

Roman’s cheeky grin was soon taken from him as he looked back at what he was cooking.

“The difference is you like my singing normally. So I have to make myself sound as bad as possible in order for you to get irritated because you know just how exquisite I actually sound.”

“Ah yes, of course, how could I be so misinformed? Clearly singing awfully and irritating me are two entirely different things.”

“Exactly! Glad you’re open to learning from your mistakes.”

Logan laughed, stepping back from his husband and shaking his head as he sat back at the table.

“I would say your insufferable, but I agreed to suffer you for the rest of our lives five years ago. So I suppose that would be an inaccurate statement.”

“Yep!”

As Logan rolled his eyes, he couldn’t help but think that he may not have been able to finish his list of things he loved about Roman, but he could tell that his favorite thing about his husband was Roman himself.

[raskolni-kin]

my hc for succession characters and their zodiac sign

(there’s no mention about most of their bday as far as i remember right? so here we go, based on my experience, basic knowledge and some guesses alone so lol)

Logan aka the only one with exact birth date

(i even made his birthchart so here we freaking go, im just gonna talk about planet in general bc im too lazy to go into aspects)

he was born on 14 October 1938 which made him a LIBRA♎️ (like me). libra are often known for loving peace and balance, rational, diplomatic and good at teamwork(?), which i can see in him, but we’re also known for being loving and sincere too!!

WHERE IS THAT LOGAN WHERE

also libra in mercury♎️ (communication), this means he’s tactful, good with words and also tends to cooperate (?)

gemini moon♊️ (emotions), he loves learning and new challenges. he’s restless and easily irritated aka mood swing (so true of u logan) BUT gemini moon is also known for being open-minded (wot?)

but here we have an explanation: logan has his mars (actions) in virgo♍️, which means he’s a perfectionist, strong-willed, hard-working, can be very intense and easily irritated (again) when things dont go as planned

he also has jupiter (prosperity, growth) in aquarius♒️, which makes sense bc his wealth came from his own innovation (even tho he’s not much of a typical humanitarian aquarius lol). he’s also quite egocentric so yup. thats pretty much correct

saturn (limitations) in aries♈️, ppl with saturn in aries tends to face obstacle when they were young, but they are soo ambitious (of course fiery aries) so it’s no surprise that aries saturn ppl overcome their obstacles as they got older

i dont have his birth time so idk the houses and his rising sign (outer personality, appearance) but i think he’s capricorn rising♑️ (conservative, great achiever) (im capricorn rising too and i know im an overachiever lol) or taurus rising♉️ (the most stubborn)

also i think he must have something in 4th house (relationship with family), maybe saturn or chiron (asteroid of unhealed trauma). tbh i think every roy has something quite *not alright* in their 4th house smh

next, we’re gonna go with pure guesses now bc there’s no bday: my no.1 boi kendall!

KENDALL IS LIBRA♎️ AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL. he’s sooooo stereotypical libra that it hurts to watch

i always believe ken is actually a kind, peace-loving and caring (too much) soul, but the environment around him is just,,,, bad, so it’s not a surprise that he showed more of the negative sides of libra (too fragile, people pleaser, can’t make a decision, dependency issue, superficial, etc). also contrary to popular belief libra is a good liar trust me

probably cancer♋️ or pisces♓️ moon? he’s sensitive, defensive and of course he clings to his family and friends very hard

taurus rising♉️, even tho he’s not really a strong presence in typical sense, but he *seems* loyal, stubborn, cautious and inflexible esp. when it comes to anything he can’t control smh

i think he has virgo venus♍️ (love, aesthetic), as i said virgo is a perfectionist sign and i think kendall expects a lot from his relationship,,, also he needs to be appreciated

SHIVY SHIVY SHIVY aka the queen who radiates fire sign energy🔥

definitely an aries♈️: very direct, fierce, confident and impulsive. can sometimes come off as an arrogant know-it-all person (yup so shiv)

moon in sagittarius, maybe venus too♐️, bc we all know shiv needs her space and freedom. she’s kinda idealistic in a way and loves to find her own way in the world. and because sag is always looking forward, it is very easy for her to miss other people’s small details or feelings and come off as irresponsible (her broke ass marriage with tom is such a good example)

leo rising♌️ (yes shiv has big three in fire sign bc,,,, SHIV): leo is the big dramatic boss. like shiv, leo is ambitious, confident and not afraid to speak her mind. i also think shiv (as a leo rising and youngest sibling) loves to be the centre of attention.

roman,,,, okay he is quite a hard one but i’ll go with

gemini babyyyy♊️: first, people often think gemini are annoying and talk too much (which is not wrong but STOP) in fact thats bc gemini is the *big brain* of the zodiac, much like roman. he’s expressive. he’s clever, innovative and playful in his own way, which also means he’s super unpredictable too lol. (also gemini is kinda flirty👀)

scorpio moon♏️ *aham* chaotic *aham*. scorpio + moon means extra intense emotional (and hor*y) but that doesn’t mean he’s out of control at all. on the contrary scorpio is a very intuitive and fearless sign, and i think roman always knows what he’s playing with (and i think he loves it). scorpio is like a *waters run deep* sign anyway.

i’ll go with sagittarius rising♐️ for roman! sag is like an arrow that keeps moving forward, very active, very free, very direct that his words or outer personality may come off as mean or tactless. nope! in fact sag is a light-hearted sign who just wants everyone to,,,, be happy and enjoy, y’know?

next the love of my life my baby my egg cousin greg

im so confident with this one GREG IS AQUARIUS♒️, so aquarius i can feel it in the air. aquarius is the ‘weird geek’ of zodiac signs. they’re surprisingly clever, creative and a very good observant (greg!!). aquarius is also a sign of tolerance, friendliness and humanitarianism. so no wonder why he can be bff(?) with tom and chose to side with kendall bc of the documents. most importantly, aquarius can be very rebellious and they are not,,, quite in touch with their emotions aka they’re not the romantic type

for moon sign, i think greg has gemini moon♊️ (like logan!) but the influence of humanitarian aquarius sun (his self identity) and different generation (uranus, neptune, pluto) makes him a lot softer than logan: more open-minded, curious, optimistic, witty and needs personal freedom. combined with aquarius sun, i think greg always tries to manage and ‘make sense’ of his own feelings

haha,,,, gay™️

tomgreg nations feel free to use this info as you see fit😘

okay, rising sign… for someone like greg i think i’ll go with pisces rising♓️: gentle, go with the flow type, soft and dreamy-looking, dislikes confrontation and wants a stable, reliable partner. weak and easy to overlook right! WRONG! nevertheless, this is just his outer appearance, his aquarius sun and gemini moon say that he’s ready for the big challenges and not afraid to be rebellious when he thinks the time of change has finally arrived,,, if this doesnt scream greg I SWEAR

bonus: pisces rising people are also known for having beautiful eyes and smiles <333

of course you know the queue, here we go mr. tom wambsgans

man if you wanna see the real tom, watch safe room lmao. tom is the epitome of taurus♉️ man! he’s kind, patient, loyal and hardworking, we’d seen his positive side, but his real taurus-ness came out the most during bottlegate scandal, the materialistic, stubborn and possessive trait, so im pretty sure with this headcanon

he may have taurus venus♉️ too, considering from how his relationship with both tom and shiv going,,,, taurus venus ppl love to service their partner, especially physical pleasure, and i think we all know at this point that tom’s so touchy and his love language is massage so,,,,,

moon, considering from how much matt mac mentioned about tom secretly being afraid, i’ll go with virgo moon♍️. he loves things to be simple and easy (y’know, earth sign) but as i said before several times *virgo is the perfectionist sign* so having virgo controlling his emotions, it makes sense that he tries to be as productive and practical as possible, and the cost of it? his own self esteem,,,, poor man just needs a hug seriously 

after all tom is still THAT boss, so i’ll assign him the same rising with his wife (not the other wife lol), leo rising♌️: bossy, dramatic and LOVE big things (its leo thing) so our man loves to exaggerate A LOT (as we all know). But because he has virgo moon, it can make him less fiery than shiv, more self aware and less confident :(

for yall who wants to know (ofc you want to) both tomshiv and tomgreg are in this case 40% compatible in terms of love (aries and taurus are both stubborn, while aquarius is wayyyy out of taurus comfort zone,,, i mean it’s challenging but they could work lol)

next, 🚨GERRI ALERT🚨

all my astrology b*tch friends agreed that gerri is the epitome of capricorn♑️! you can say that capricorn is the sign of traditional (well ofc there are cap conservatives out there) but this is bc capricorn don’t like to deal with any chaos, like gerri. she’s very organized, loyal, wise and responsible esp. when it comes to business (as i said, cap is the achiever sign), but gerri also has that blunt, sarcastic side (that many people find seggsy—)

yes capricorn is like the seggsy maneater sign😳

gerri radiates such a strong earth sign energy and i think taurus moon♉️ fits her the most! ppl with moon in taurus are strong-willed (yup the most stubborn sign goes to taurus), calm and emotionally stable (good for the company tbh) but taurus moon gerri also has the nurturing and comforting side that makes others need at least her presence in the room (ik me too)

mmhmm rising sign🤔 i think i’ll go with virgo rising♍️ (yes big three earth sign!). she seems cold and judgmental, but that is because she sees every detail better than all of you lol, and once someone knows her better they’re going to find that she also has the charming and caring side too (+ capricorn sun + taurus moon). virgo rising also loves to be an observer in the background rather than being the face, which is of course very gerri.

and here we go, cap gerri and gemini roman’s compatibility (astrologically)! bad news is their compatibility’s like,,,, low (i’d say 20%?) bc capricorn loves everything planned and organized while gemini (as mentioned above) is the exact opposite lol you can say capricorn doesn’t trust gemini that much (and yeah i think we’ve seen that before,,,,,)

the last one for now bc im tired but i need him STEWY MY BELOVED muahhh!

of course he’s a scorpio♏️ what else could he be lol, bc scorpio is seggsy as hell, dominant, intense, competitive and rebellious. he’s a fierce and loyal (and actually quite protective) ally, but if he was betrayed he’s gonna turn into such a dangerous and manipulative enemy (as we’ve all seen)

you go my mansplain manipulate manwh*re

aries moon♈️ stewy enjoys troubles and challenges so as we’ve seen he isn’t the type to take no easily. he’s also assertive, confident and fun to be around (or else he wouldn’t be kendall’s coke bff lmao), but i think he is not that impulsive as aries stereotype bc of his scorpio self.

stewy always looks so good so *aham* of course libra rising♎️ *aham*. style and charisma are very important to ppl with libra rising (just look at him the man’s is so high maintenance lol) so that’s why he can attract people (for example me). he’s also a social animal and very good at persuasion

if you wanna know how compatible he and kendall is astrologically,,, uhmm i gave them 50/50 chance if they could, you know, calm down with their own stuffs a little.

[notveryglittery]

so @/dysaniadisorder​ posted this really cute zoom moxiety art and then i posted some selfies in a discord server and the reactions from that + this moxiety art got me feeling even more Fluffy than usual so here’s a very rambly au that i stream of consciousness wrote in half an hour lol 

idk about anyone else, but i had a pen pal through english class in middle school for a little while. so what if, patton and virgil meeting through being pen pals. patton's letters are as bubbly as his stories, he includes stickers on the pages and the envelope, and uses *so many* exclamation marks. virgil meanwhile, tends to write very little and mostly just in reaction to whatever patton said. because sure, the letters are sent to the school and they've been told not to give away personal information, but y'know... Just In Case.

except for one towards the end of the program, when patton really doesn't want to lose contact with virgil, so he shares his instagram. and he says no pressure of course i dont even know if you have an instagram but here it is if you ever wanna try to keep talking. and bc roman's his best friend, of course virgil has instagram (ugh). so of course he checks patton's profile. and oh *no* he's as cute as his bubbly handwriting and his stories and stickers and exclamation marks

virgil's never really mentioned this whole pen pal thing to roman, because roman's english teacher did not sign her class up for it and he knows roman would be jealous. but he made the mistake of checking patton's profile in roman's presence and if anyone's going to notice a Gay Panic™, it's roman

so of course roman grills virgil and virgil caves bc like what?? else is he gonna do?? but anyway, roman hits the follow button for virgil but then virgil throws his phone across the room and breaks it so can we get an f in the chat

meanwhile patton's studying with his step-brother logan when he gets a little chime from his phone and? oh a new instagram follow that's neat, who's [insert cool username for virgil]? except of course virgil's profile is private so patton has to follow back to see any photos. except virgil's phone is busted! bummer

cue virgil not getting a new phone for a week or two bc idk he's in trouble for breaking the old one to begin with and by the time he finally does get a new one, he totally spaces on installing instagram. so it's like a month and a half later when roman asks him why the heck he hasn't been liking roman's pictures that virgil remembers. and then he also remembers patton. *oh god patton* how could he ever forget, he is a fool, and patton probably hates him now, or he must be super worried, bc the pen pal program is over so they havent been writing and then he just disappeared off the face of the planet which?? well patton should have expected it a little because he did say it would be okay if virgil didnt want to keep in contact but *oh god patton*

virgil installs instagram and finds patton's follow request (and like 32 comments from roman demanding that virgil like his photos what kind of best friend is he smh)

and he accepts it 

and then while he's still riding his bravery high, he messages patton "hey it's virgil" and then Very Calmly sets his phone down before screaming into a pillow

meanwhile patton's busy cheering logan on at his swim meet but this does mean that he's posting all sorts of encouraging cheesy stuff to his story which means virgil is already getting a sneak peak into patton's life and wait oh my GOD is that his voice???????

virgil is very gay and he is having a Time

anyway patton also almost breaks his phone when he sees the follow request approved *and* the message!!! because lowkey , he considers virgil a pretty close friend!! he vented in some of those pen pal letters! said some things he couldn't bring himself to say to anyone else. and virgil was always so patient and kind and reminded him of all the good things to help and balance out the bad things.

so y'know, fast forward thru lots of instagram interactions. messaging each other late into the night. virgil always liking patton's photos and leaving a single "💜" comment on every one. they talk about roman - and how he's virgil's best friend and he may be dramatic and loud but he's reliable and genuine - and they talk about logan - and how patton wouldn't know anywhere near as much as he does w/out him and how they have sleepovers in the basement every saturday.

and fast forward to moving on from instagram to discord, and joining servers of fandoms they're both in. making a server for themselves + roman + logan (and *oh boy,* introducing roman and logan). sending silly memes and posts that "made me think of you", late night texting that ends with one sending the final “i guess you fell asleep, sweet dreams <3″ message, and the other sending the “oops i did, good morning <3″ message in return 

and sure, roman might post pictures on instagram of himself and virgil, but virgil's always half-in half-out of frame or he's blurry or he's looking away. and so one day, he posts a selfie in their friend server because he's just got his hair dyed purple and he's *so excited* and patton. patton didnt even have time to prepare can we get an f in the chat

there are a LOT of keysmashes and hearts lol

roman is still laughing by the time patton manages to calm down. patton sort of flat out demands for a group video call aljsdf

logan and roman, all this time obviously because they can't be out done, have already had plenty of personal voice and video calls themselves. sometimes it's just to help roman run lines or help logan study for a test. but they have been on the receiving end of patton and virgil gushing about their respective crushes so they're in full support of this tbh

so they set up a group video call that night, roman and logan like immediately muting themselves bc let's be real we all know the real reason behind this. patton is gushing about virgil and virgil's hair like, right off the bat, and virgil is slowly but surely disappearing into his hoodie and the lighting in his room isn't very good, but gosh patton is *melting* and then

and THEN

patton pauses to finally drink out of his cooling hot cocoa and virgil takes the opportunity to clear his throat and sit up a little out of his hoodie cocoon and says thank you

and y'all we thought virgil was all Gay Panic™ when he saw patton's face in photos for the first time? and then he broke his phone when roman followed patton for him?

patton does a spit take and chokes on his hot cocoa and kind of maybe shorts out his laptop ajsdkjhsf

because we gotta go full circle baby

roman disappears from view on his camera because he just rolled off the bed he's laughing so hard

you know logan definitely anticipated this, so he's been on best buy's website this whole time, ready to find laptops on sale / schedule an appointment to get patton's laptop fixed

and uuuhhhh yeah :) pen pals to friends to lovers long distance moxiety, with background probably-qpr logince because that's the Vibe i'm getting. with bonus best friends prinxiety and familial logicality!! thanks for reading :D 

[babysizedfics]

I need to know about doctor mama lo taking care of a sick baby Virgil if you would like pretty please. I dont wanna ask on the in character blog cuz I feel like it would be weird to ask for details and lo seems kinda busy anyway lol.

hey tumblebee!! yeah yeah lets do this, Im gonna write it so that ppl who dont follow the other blog can understand too

WARNING IF U HAVENT ALREADY BLOCKED THE TAGS ILLNESS TW AND VOMIT TW THEY ARE VERY PREVALENT IN THIS

also this is a VERY long headcanon!!

so last night vee got ill, he had been regressed in the afternoon with patton and he was acting much more fussy than usual - not being entertained by his cartoons, not having the energy to play with his rattle, pretty much constantly whining and pouting and he gets very wriggly when he's fussy

patton assumed it was because vee had been upset earlier that day. at one point vee started gripping his stomach, and patton assumed its because he was hungry and could smell the food roman was cooking

but when dinner came around no matter how hard patton tried he couldnt get vee to eat a morsel - he kept turning his head away from the food and whining. at one point patton and logan both managed to convince him to eat a spoonful but his face crumpled with a wince and it looked almost painful for him to swallow it. it was at this point logan noticed he had a faint sheen of sweat on his forehead

things fell into place quickly after that - logan checked his temperature and it was indeed slightly higher than was healthy, they noticed vee's hands were trembling and he was constantly on the verge of tears :(

while patton cleared away dinner and excused roman who wanted to go and craft in his room, logan took vee to his bedroom and tried to check for more symptoms, since vee was non verbal and unresponsive totheir questions. he tested his tummy by pushing it a little to see if the pain got worse when he released it (this is a test for appendicitis) but there was no reaction thankfully except vee being upset by logan not cuddling him. he checked his throat for any redness or infection, nothing.

vee's crying became more pronounced and eventually he was in constant tears, occassionally pleading 'mama mama' through sniffles and hiccups and whines of pain :(( Patton brought him a baby bottle of cooled tea made with fresh mint leaves since that is supposed to help stomach pains. though he left the room again since logan thought it was best not to crowd virgil. Vee's crying had dissipated but he was strangely silent and seemed almost loopy now. he only drank a little of the tea before he pushed it away with a gag.

logan immediately took him to the bathroom knowing what was coming, and sure enough vee threw up into the toilet, crying between gags. logan dutifully managed to keep vee in his lap the whole time and held his hair and rubbed his back, telling him he was such a good boy the whole time

Thankfully it didnt last long as there wasnt much in vees stomach to be emptied. he was shivering and sweating and flushed and had lost all energy. he wasnt even crying anymore, just whimpering under his breath. with a bit of a struggle logan managed to show him how to rinse his mouth out with mouthwash - though he had to hold vee over the sink and pat his back to make sure he didnt swallow it

during all of this patton wasnt able to help because of his heightened empathy, if he sees someone throwing up the likeihood is he will too and that wiuldnt be very helpful! so instead he drives to the store to pick up some medicine and ice pops - and comes back with half the store including some actual baby medicine smh - ((im actually begging u to read that linked post i think its so funny))

it was originallly meant to be logans night to put roman to bed but understandably patton took on that task instead. after roman was drifting off patton pokes his head into vee's room. he had hoped to find lo and vee asleep but they werent. they were lying in the dark with an in the night garden audio story playing on a portable speaker and with vees salt lamp and star night light lighting up the room in a soft glow.

logan offered a strained little smile and nod to patton as he stroked vee's hair and cuddled him close. vee was completely out of it honestly. his body was wholly lax against his mama, his lips were in a permanent pout and his eyes were puffy and wet. he barely even acknowledged his papa coming in, his teary eyes just settled on him for a moment then dropped back to the bedsheets without a reaction. he kept lifting his thumb up to suck on it but logan kept capturing it and apologising as he brought it away. Vee shouldnt suck on his thumb and logan doesnt want to give him a paci while he's ill. understandably, baby vee was completely miserable.

patton asks if logan thinks vee could handle a popsicle or plain crackers at the moment but logan disagrees. he doesnt expect either of them to get much sleep so he will make sure vee eats something in a few hours. with a gentle kiss on vee's forehead patton goes off to bed, confident that logan will be able to look after vee and will come get him if theres any issues

logan and vee really dont sleep much at all. Vee drifts off for a few minutes at a time then gasps awake from vivid fever dreams. logan keeps ice cubes in a bowl by the bed for vee to suck on if he needs to cool down and wraps a couple in a flannel to press to vee's head when his fever rises in the middle of the night.

around 3am logan jolts awake and realises he had drifted off. and vee isnt anywhere in the room. he panics momentarily, bolting up from the bed and dashing to the closet to see if virgil is in there - which he tends to do when he is overwhelmed - but then he hears sniffling from the bathroom.

he finds vee, no longer regressed, curled up against the side of the bathtub with his bangs clinging to his sweaty head. vee is the palest person logan knows but he looks positively grey at the moment

'can i help in any way?' he asks, aware that he doesnt need to baby talk at the moment but still eager to look after this bundle of miserableness

virgil just groans under his breath and clutches his knees to his chest. 'i.. i didnt know what to do with the..' he gestures vaguely to something on the floor

logan notices virgil, being not regressed anymore, had obviously wrestled off the diaper he had been changed into the night before and not known how to dispose of it

'its ok, ive got it' logan wraps it up in a bag and puts it in the trash can they have in the room for just this purpose

'sorry.. m stupid' virgil croaks

'You're not stupid.' logan says firmly as he washes his hands 'You're ill and probably delirious from the fever. it's alright virgil'

theres quiet for a bit longer, virge's head pressed against the porcelain edge of the bathtub likely in an attempt to cool his fever. logan stays there with him for a while just waiting. then suddenly virgil starts sobbing and buries his face in his hands.

'sweetheart, tell me whats wrong please' logan hurries to kneel beside him, lifting his hands away from his face. that wouldnt help the fever

'i dont feel well' virgil cries pathetically, tears rolling down his face.

logans heart breaks 'no, you dont. i'm sorry little one, i know its not nice'

at the nickname virgils thumb raises to his lips again, which logan hurriedly intercepts. 'i'll make you a deal, okay? you're allowed to use a pacifier, but you have to use the same one everyday until you are better. we will need to sterilise it every night too.'

vee sniffles and nods, then chokes 'm not a baby right now though'

'that doesnt matter. you dont need to be regressed to want one of your pacis, vee'

vee is unresponsive and starts scratching at his pyjama pants. logan gets a feeling he isnt saying something. then he notices virgil's pout is much more infantile than his adult ones. 'are you feeling little, baby?'

with a harsh shake of his head vee starts crying again. he whispers 'dont wanna be a b...' then cuts himself off and whimpers

logan cards his fingers through virgils damp bangs. he knows what virgils mind has jumped to. 'were you going to say you dont want to be a baby?' he lifts virgils chin up to look at him 'or that you dont want to be a burden?'

virgils pale lip wobbles 'same fing'

'no sweetheart, no no no,' logan sits on the tiles beside vee and pulls him into his lap. virgil goes willingly. logan rocks his baby as he says 'youre always always allowed to be a baby and its never ever going to upset your family. even if you're an adorable wonderful brave baby boy alllll of the time' he scribbles his finger on virgils rosy cheek and delights at the tiny smile it earns him. 'but especially when you're feeling yucky. you feel a bit yucky today dont you, little one?'

vee nods with a pout

'but yknow whats not yucky? softies and pacis and diapers and lots and lots of cuddles with mama' he holds virgil tighter to prove his point. vee sighs and drops his head to nuzzle against his mama's neck. logan feels he still has a slight fever. 'i know what might help you feel less yucky. does my sweet baby want a sweet ice pop?'

thankfully vee nods against his shoulder and grips tight onto his pyjama shirt, preparing for when logan lifts him up

he first makes sure to change vee into another diaper and even decides that he should wear one of mama's t-shirts as a light dress so he doesnt get as overheated by his pyjamas. at this point vee actually giggles for the first time pretty much all day as he feels the tshirt swish lazily around his legs. logan makes a mental note to observe whether little vee might want to try wearing dresses if the feeling sparks this much joy (at this point logan is unaware that vee has secretly been trying skirts and dresses in his room for months, and roman found out a few weeks ago, but vee isnt ready to tell the cgs yet)

by the time vee is in his diaper and mamas tshirt dress and has a paci and jiji clutched to his chest he is a lot calmer and happier. he's still very ill and exhausted and teary, but theres a tiny smile on his face instead of a pout. in the kitchen he picks a strawberry ice pop and it goes down well, logan convinces him to have a cracker too though vee is in such a young headspace by then that he is just sucking on it, which logan supposes is fine too

by the (real) morning vee is still regressed and has managed to have a couple hours undisturbed sleep. its not much but its better than nothing. logan didnt fare much better. by then vee misses his papa and asks for him and logan hands the responsibility over to papa patton, trustinf the other caregiver enough to catch up on a quick power nap himself

but yes, the main thing is vee thought being ill was a burden enough that he shouldnt be regressed too, but logan makes him see that its okay. vee is regressed pretty much the whole time he is ill over the next few days because its stressful and painful and its a lot easier to feel comforted when ur a baby

yeah! gosh that was long, theres probably a billion spelling mistakes! feel free to ask follow up Qs if i missed anything u wanted to know abt this event

LOGAN THE HEART SKIPPING COMMENT ARE YOU OKAY IM GIVING YOU A HUG

GUYS LOGAN IS TRYING TO CONVINCE HIMSELF THAT HE MATTERS IM NOT OKAY

Last???? Relationship???

Okay I'm not a shipper BUT my theorist analysis obsessed brain is just SCREAMING about Roman and Patton

Observation: Logan is probably atheistic and this song covers God a lot. I don't have a conclusion or anything just pointing that out

This woman do be calming tho like yes I'm beautiful yes I'm special thank you

Okay so I already knew Logan wasn't okay but he 100% isn't okay

Fittet Happier-Radiohead

K two words in and I can tell this is gonna be sad here we go

Employees? Or maybe…other sides?

Minor key ok

SELF HARM ISNT OKAY

"WILL NOT CRY IN PUBLIC" NONONONO

So I heard of a good therapist just downtown-

The Watchtower-The Dø

I paused it cause I need a second after the last one

Guys as someone who dissosiates a lot I think Logan might be dissosiating

Dissosiating to protect himself from his emotions

Y'all just trust me in this one

Coming for the TØP brand I see

K ready to start again here we go

Fire beat I'm vibing with it

Is he trying to distance himself from his emotions to try and perform his tasks better like watching from a Watchtower???

This is the first character I've seen that might dissosiate which only means one thing

I'm gonna be projecting an unholy amount in my fanfiction

"No one in particular" hon who hurt you

Logan I've done this before and trust me it isn't worth it the mental breakdowns are too taxing

I'll do it when I'm older=I'm never gonna get around to it

I don't wanna be the person I wanna be either

Why do I perfectly understand every lyric am I ok

At least there's a happy ending

Okay so I've decided that once I'm done I'm gonna make a list of songs I think would fit in the playlist

Algorythym-Childish Gambino

K its spelled incorrectly get ready for some metaphors my dudes

Intro is cool definitely very very Logan WOAH OKAY CHAIN SMOKER

The chorus sounds like Thanksgiving at my Aunt's house where like 100+ African American relatives blast house music and dance until their feet falls off

Nvm no it doesn't

GO OFF

ELPHABA BETTER WATCH OUT CHILDISH GAMBINO IS COMING FOR YOUR BELT

Adlibs are everything

Letter C-Zach Sherwin

This gives off the same vibes as that one pickle video by Charlie Puth

Roman vs Logan rap battle but it's this

I don't really see why this is related but sure

Time Adventure-The Marcus Hedgehog

Nostalgiaaaaaa

Okay Logan has too many songs talking about one (1) person who is it

I have a gut feeling that it's about Thomas and how Logan used to be enough "back then" but now he thinks he's not cause like let's be honest when was the last time someone gave Logan a strong sincere thank you for all that he does????Excluding DWIT (which doesn't really count in my opinion cause they said he was cool, not like an integral and arguably the most important and powerful side) nobody really appreciates Logan???? Hugs???

Anyway plz ignore this is just how my brain works

K next song

The Breach-clipping.

OKAY SLOW DOWN IM GONNA LOOK UP LYRICS

Is this Daveed Diggs???? I haven't listened to Hamilton in like forever is this Daveed Diggs???

LITERALLY PERFECY PARRALLEL TO LOGAN AND THE SIDES

Sound effects

Really just gonna fry my eardrums like that huh

What I Do For U-Ra Ra Riot

Okay scrap anything and everything I said about it being the sides Logan is 100% talking about Character!Thomas

Erase Me-Ben Folds Five

Ooh this intro reminds me of this one particular musical songs but I don't remember which one

Wait have I listened to this before????

I've listened to this before!

Okay I need to stop being distracted

NOOOOOO don't Erase Yourself!!!!

Logan really just do be having no Self Esteem don't he

Okay so theory: Logan didn't pop up in person in the last video because his eyes were too red from crying

I have 0 evidence so it's not a very good theory but…

Just throwing it out there

One More Time with Feeling-Regina Spektor

Oh no it's Regina Spektor

Oh no I'm gonna cry

Okay so Logan doesnt wanna block of all emotion, only permit some to show???? But most of the time block everything????

Did I get that???

Nobody!!!! Thanks!!!! Logan!!!!

Awww he just wants love and recognition

Tbh this sounds a lot like Roman they have so much in common despite their constant arguing

Galaxy Song-Monty Python

Ooh Monty Python

I haven't listened to Monty Python so I sadly don't know the context

Really just dissing all of the other sides aren't we

Can't really blame him tho

Very scientific

"Yeau~"

Equation-Hans Zimmer

Later I'm gonna check the equations if they're correct XD

Sunrise-In The Heights

!!!!!!

WHO???!!!!!

K to this is one of my favorite love songs ever it's just so sweet and as someone who's bilingual the concept is just amazingly wonderful so yeah I may be freaking out

Also because WHO??!!

Okay I said I wasn't a shipper but let's be honest this is probably about Roman not romantically but like

OR MAYBE JANUS???

IM SO CONFUSED

But Logan is definitely Nina in this situation it just fits so well with her character for the same reasons I really wanna play her (but never will cause I'm exactly 0% Latin American smh) yeah the pressures to be the smartest and then it backfiring horribly and oh God what if Inùtil is also in the playlist ahhhh

Okay moving on

Lifeboat-Heathers

WHAT

NO

NO

CONFORMITY RELATED ANGST LOGAN STOP BEING RELATABLE AHHHH

IS THIS CAPTAIN THOMAS??? THE OTHER SIDES AS A WHOLE??? AN ABSTRACT CONCEPT???

Bohemian Groove-Will Connolly

Eeecccchhhhhoooo

Your friends haven't surpassed you Logan you belong with them okay????

Emptiness despite success??? Millennial who???

Vibing with it but also are you okay

Nvm I know the answer already

Hug All Ur Friends-Cavetown

Okay so Logan is a Cavetown gay noted

Self validation??? Who's she???

Lies. You care so much about what other people *sides* think about you

Maybe Logan listens to this song to remind himself to not care too much

But it doesn't work and it's getting to him more and more

Oh

That took a turn

Breathin'-Thomas Sanders

Good move

Don't really have much to say on this

The Bidding

Spoopy

Alchoholic!Logan

New idea for us fan writers

The pronunciation of beurgoise

Okay I'm like pretty certain at this point that all of the songs that mention a someone else is about Character!Thomas

A Better Version

OHMYGOD I LOVE THIS MUSICAL ITS SO UNDERRATED I HAVE LISTENED TO THE SOUNDTRACK AND UNGODLY AMOUNT OF TIMES YESSSSS

But also since I know the song in terrified cause the feels are gonna come in I just know it

Wait so is Jayce supposed to be Thomas???

I am suddenly feeling much more uncertain about my certainty

Okay let me unpause and just listen to it (even though I already know all of the lyrics)

Okay so I'm a dumbass and apparently this song isn't even part of the playlist

Okay so I'm an idiot and the last few songs have all been "related to playlist" and not in the actual playlist I'm big dumb.

Anyway here's my list of songs I think would fit. (BTW, I only went off of lyrics for these ones. I realize that there’s a general sound and vibe for the playlist, but I decided not to follow it.)

Oh No! ~ MARINA

Hug All Ur Friends ~ Cavetown

Bohemian Groove ~ Will Connolly

Guiltless ~ Dodie Clark

Lifeboat ~ Laurens O’Keefe

The Bidding ~ *idk who*

I Am Not A Robot ~ MARINA

Inútil - Lin Manuel Miranda

Through The Eyes Of A Child ~ AURORA

Community Gardens ~ The Scary Jokes

Let me know if I should do this with the other playlists as well! :)

Title: A Bruised Ego

Summary: “I didn’t really plan on any heavy character development…” Roman is feeling unordinarily out of it and reaches out to Virgil for some help — honestly tho, is it really that unordinary? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Warnings: Some good ol’ Roman angst, mentions of self-hatred and stuff. I tried to avoid any speculation about what Roman’s room might look like since there’s no canon evidence of it yet so sorry for the lack of detail there, but I’d rather not include my own opinions about the universe in a fic, so until the rooms are revealed I won’t be going into much detail about them.

Word count: 1265 (i went overboard whoops)

Pairing: Prinxiety (can be interpreted as romantic or platonic)

Tag List: just @monikastec as of right now (let me know if you wanna be added to my tag list to get notified when i write since i really don’t do it as often as i should, smh @ myself)

Ever since the whole “Accepting Anxiety” fiasco, the other sides dropped by Virgil’s room much more often, though typically not for long. They would pop in, whether to give him something or take something back that he’d borrowed, or just to generally pester him, and then pop right back out. None of them could handle the intensity of the room for longer than just a few moments. It got hard for even Virgil to handle it sometimes. He didn’t mind too much when the others stopped by though, it gave him something to do, and urged him out to socialize with them much more than he used to.

The only thing he did mind was Roman’s visits. The creative side would stop by mostly to pester or ask for things; simply to be a nuisance. So it was no surprise that Virgil immediately tensed when he heard someone rise up in his room, already preparing possible comebacks to insults and nicknames. Even though Roman didn’t do those things as often as he did in the past, Virgil was still accustomed to it and found it hard not to grow defensive whenever the other side spoke to him.

What was surprising, though, was the look on Roman’s face when Virgil removed his headphones and turned to address the other side, annoyance already showing in his sneer. Virgil was taken aback, his sour expression vanished, eyes going wide, and he had to grip the railing of the stairs beside him.

The prince was a disaster. His eyes were bloodshot and swollen, and if it weren’t for the tears streaking his cheeks Virgil might have accused him of smoking something he shouldn’t have. Once the shock at what stood before him wore off, Virgil pulled down his hood and ran a few fingers through his hair, getting his bearings. Roman had yet to speak; his eyes were trained on the floor between them, his breath occasionally hitching in a way that Virgil knew too well. He’d been crying for some time now, it seemed, and though he still held composure in his shoulders, it looked too forced.

Since Roman still hadn’t said a word and Virgil was thoroughly confused (and, honestly, a little scared), the darker side decided to speak up.

“Roman?” His voice was soft, but it got the creative side to look up, meet his eyes. “Are you okay?” Virgil had been asked the same question himself by the other sides so many countless times, and most of the time he’d answered with a sarcastic response or lied and said something more positive than the reality was. He just hoped that Roman wouldn’t give in to deception like he himself so often did (though he was learning not to) and instead tell Virgil the truth.

Virgil’s hopes were met, though he immediately felt terrible for hoping. Roman’s shoulders dropped, no more composure, all life seemed to drain out of him as he shook his head; slowly at first, though it quickly grew aggressive and insistent. The tears fell harder and faster, and quiet, choked sobs tore themselves from the prince. It was the most heart-wrenching thing Virgil had seen in a long, long time—someone who usually held himself in such high regard, someone who was always composed and ready to fire back at anyone who questioned him, now reduced to this.

Before Virgil could think, he pulled the prince close to him, wrapping his arms around him (tight, but not too tight, exactly how Patton hugged Virgil). Roman buried his face into Virgil’s shoulder and immediately returned the embrace, though his arms felt weak around Virgil.

“I know,” Virgil sighed, one hand moving (hopefully not awkwardly) up and down the other’s back, comforting him the only way he could think how. “I know.” And he did, he did know, he knew exactly what this was about. It was no secret that most of Roman’s obnoxious confidence was a front. Thomas had openly talked about his own struggles with confidence and self-image several times before, so it wasn’t like everyone expected him to be this perfect, arrogant, knight in shining armor all the time. So the same couldn’t be expected for Roman.

They stayed like that for a while, Virgil let Roman cry it out in silence, ignoring the growing soreness in his arms the longer they held each other like this. Eventually, though, even as Roman’s sobbing subsided, Virgil could feel his limbs trembling and his breathing growing quicker.

Right. The room. Sure enough, when Virgil pulled back from the hug, he saw dark smudges almost matching his own underneath the prince’s eyes, which were wide and full of growing fear.

“Hey, hey,” Virgil whispered, taking the prince’s face in his hands, staring into those big eyes. “In for four seconds, hold it for seven, out for eight, remember?” Roman nodded and followed the instructions, closing his eyes and visibly trying his best to calm himself. “Good, just like that. You can’t be in here for this long, especially not when you’re upset. Sink out, get some rest in your room, alright?”

Roman’s eyes shot back open and he stopped the breathing exercise for a moment as he gripped Virgil’s wrist and looked in his eyes again. “Come with me,” he said, softly, his first spoken words since he rose up. Virgil sighed, but nodded. He took Roman’s hand and the prince continued the rhythmic breathing while Virgil closed his eyes, until the aura that came with the anxiety room faded. Virgil opened his eyes to see himself and Roman in the creative side’s room, the dark eyeshadow gone from Roman’s eyes. He breathed a sigh of relief and squeezed Roman’s hand. Roman opened one eye, then the other, his grip on Virgil relaxing.

“Thank you,” Roman said, his eyes set on the ground once again, his thumb lightly grazing over the back of Virgil’s hand. Virgil cleared his throat and adjusted his weight, flush on his cheeks as he mumbled a “No problem.”

“Please don’t tell the others.”

The request shocked Virgil, though he thought maybe it shouldn’t have, and he stayed silent for a few moments before nodding in agreement. It wasn’t his place to decide when or where Patton and Logan or even Thomas would be aware of the mess that Roman can be on occasion. If Roman didn’t want them to know, then they wouldn’t know, until he told them himself or they figured it out. There was just one question Virgil still had.

“Why did you come to me?” Roman looked unsure, pursing his lips and avoiding Virgil’s gaze.

“I don’t know. Just… Felt right, I guess,” he said, breath shaking. “Patton would just try to cheer me up, Logan wouldn’t… Understand. I just needed someone to-... to—”

“To be there,” Virgil finished, swallowing the lump in his throat. “I get it.”

Roman nodded, and they fell into a mutual silence again.

Virgil realized that he was still holding onto Roman’s hand and cleared his throat as he let go, shoving his hands into his pockets. “You should get some rest,” he repeated himself, and Roman nodded in agreement.

“You should too, when was the last time you got a good night’s sleep, in that gloom room of yours? Stay here.”

Virgil couldn’t help but smile, lifting a hand to cover it and averting his gaze; an unconscious habit. He wasn’t used to being treated like this (especially not by Roman) yet, but it was a nice change, for sure.

“Alright. I’ll stay. But I want the Dragon Witch plush.”

“Deal.”
