party people with intrusive thoughts get the panic that thomas had abt being a bad person.

okay. but actually. let’s talk about the 41 minutes and 17 seconds of pure perfect writing that “dealing with intrusive thoughts” (or for the purposes of this post i’ve dubbed it dwit) truly is.

(seriously could write a video essay about this, but for the purposes of now i’ll let this remain a tumblr post)

tw: i talk about intrusive thoughts a lot, but there’s nothing graphic in here.

dwit is like a beacon of hope for anyone who was struggled with intrusive thoughts. i saw on instagram a quote that stated “it’s hard to trust yourself when you have unwanted intrusive thoughts.” and i feel like thomas takes that and shoves it right back in our faces with this video.

through many episodes of sander sides there is a question of morality. “is thomas a good person?” is a constant question and debate. the idea of having intrusive thoughts leads to a spiral for both patton and thomas as well as worrying from virgil.

the debate is continued when it is revealed through flashbacks that thomas dreamt of killing his brother. Remus (a character representing both thomas’ intrusive thoughts and the dark side of his creativity) leads to patton worrying that thomas’ morality is at stake because of this dream.

what makes this episode in particular so perfectly written is that logan is able to pin point the doubt and showcase to both thomas and the veiwers that these thoughts are just thoughts as long as you don’t act on them. it’s not a fault of thomas for having these thoughts, in fact many people struggle with them, seeing them as horrible things. many people who struggle with intrusive thoughts (including me) have wondered or thought that they are a bad person for experiencing them.

while both virgil and patton work to fear remus, logan acts as an anchor of acceptance and logan is able to bring out logic while also still showing empathy. this episode is able to function as a source of character development for logan.

the video is a perfect way for thomas to show that these thoughts don’t make you this horrible person because they aren’t things you want to think about. intrusive thoughts are horrible and as logan points out, as long as they continue to scare you, they are not a threat.

this brings me back to this quote i started with. the idea of trusting yourself when you have these intrusive thoughts can be scary. but logan is able to show both thomas and the audience that you only create that distrust if you let the fear of them take over.

in those 41 minutes and 17 seconds thomas sanders with the help of his character logan is able to express that while it’s okay to be afraid of intrusive thoughts you cannot let them dictate your moral standing.

idk i’m just yapping. this is a good ass episode. thanks logan for being the best. i’m gonna go take a nap now.

God I think Mag 132: Entombed might be my favorite episode, the sound-scaping , Daisy’s back, talking about trauma, Martin being a genius, the happy ending, ugh… *chefs kiss*

being able to exhale air through a kiss and bring someone back to life is akin to god breathing life into adam

I adore MtZ 207 bc when it starts you think "juck yeah, a casino episode! there's so many cool things to do with a casino setting, all the slot machines and the glamour and the heist opportunities!" and then they proceed to spend the next 20 minutes improvising a nonsensical card game and do absolutely fuckall else

Happy Turkey Day all my good-footed brothers & sisters. Today is most certainly a joyous day to behold. ‘Tis a day of thankfulness and gratitude for all we hold dear. I’m certainly no different and neither are the engines of Sodor.

Even though they don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in the U.K, people there have something quite similar. It’s called: Thanksgiving-Equivalent and it involves throwing a harvest festival the likes of which you only see once a year.

In my headcanon, Thomas and Percy started celebrating it during November of 1965-66. They’ve been carrying on the tradition ever since. So like the engines on Sodor, let’s all give thanks for such a wonderful fandom and all the friends we’ve made along the way. From my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.

since Eng is getting 7.5 soon(?), I felt motivated to go back to my Meleanor rig and make her a couple of lesson animations! ...except for alchemy, because the cauldron bubbles proved too hard to photoshop around, whoops.

maybe she just got lost on her way to the classroom...?

He's a used car salesman. He has a heart of gold. He can't parallel park. He has two gay witch italian dads. He chops the wood. He has a magical talking cat mom. He's an assassin. He isn't an assassin. He's actually the cat from earlier. He's trans (female cat to male human). He's been shot through the heart. He was in Dewar. He was not in the war. He was in Dewar. He's on his last of nine lives. He just had a marble shoved down his throat. He's even bisexual. I didn't say his name, but he popped into your head, didn't he?

Currently two seasons into white collar and I think my favorite part is whenever Neal says he knows a guy and then that guy is always Mozzie
