Regarding young sides in King AU - heights & ages

becasue I feel like there’s no need to bring it up in the comic but it’s interesting regardless

The sides are all Thomas’ age. Even Virgil who still existed at this time but more like Instinct than side - that’s why you could call him junior side but still - age doesn’t change.

Normally I’d make all of them look like 6 year olds buuuut…

This is kinda violent story. King is a violent character. You get the idea. So i had to think of something else

I went with different manifestation for each side, but later on It got really interesting and I kinda liked it as a design choice

- Baby Patton: it’s exactly how he should appear -  the most harmless. You’d never suspect him to have the most power in the mindscape

- unintentional thing but their heights here represent their egos very well B)

- I imagine looks can also reflect how long each side will take to mature. For example there’s much more to morality than creativity in this sense, so Patton will take much longer

- also, Morality and King: It’s kinda cute to me that Morality chooses a baby looks while being probably the oldest and wisest,

- and King with mentality of a bratty child chooses to look like a teen (probably to reflect all the princes from movies :3)

Happy Emo

@atomiktaco wanted happy carefree Virgil and I decided that my homework is unimportant. 

It was rare to see Virgil excited and energetic. It was rare that he raised his voice in joy and glee. It was rare that Virgil ever reacted with more than a thumbs up. 

However, being rare doesn’t mean it didn’t happen now and again. If asked, each side could recount a time when they saw Virgil being excited and childish and decidedly not anxious. They never commented on it, but it was… nice to see Virgil just acting a little younger, like the child he never got to be. 

The first time Patton could remember was when he asked for Virgil’s help baking. The anxious side had been living as a part of their famILY for all of a week. He looked up with apprehensive and distrustful eyes. 

“…what would we be making?” 

“Anything you want! I just want to try spending some time with you, how we do that doesn’t really matter.” 

Virgil’s eyes widened, and had he been a part of their family longer Patton was sure Virgil would have started crying. 

“Can we make banana bread?” he asked, voice a low mumble. 

Patton beamed. “Sure thing, kiddo. Wanna grab the bananas for me?” 

Virgil relaxed and smiled wider than Patton had ever seen. 

“Okay.” he confirmed, trying to duck away so Patton didn’t see his growing smile or light blush. Patton smiled sadly. Had he known this would be such a big deal, he would’ve asked Virgil to bake with him sooner!

The first time Logan remembered seeing Virgil so carefree had been during Laundry Day. Everyone just assumed Virgil hated Laundry Day because he either did his at ungodly early hours of the morning or horribly late at night. It was rare that anyone ever actually saw him do his laundry. (rare, but not unheard of). 

One of those rare days was when Logan saw this side of Virgil that he so often hid. 

“Virgil, you laundry is done!” Logan called upstairs as he emptied the warm clothes into a laundry basket. 

Thud thud thud!

Logan looked up just in time to back out of the way as Virgil threw himself into the basket of warm clothes. 

“Mmmm… warm.” Virgil hummed, smiling happily with his eyes closed, sighing in contentment. 

Logan chuckled. “Do you have plans of moving anytime soon, or should I get another basket for myself?” 

“Get another basket, I’m gonna be here a while.” Virgil replied, hunkering down and piling his warm clothes over himself and promptly falling asleep. 

–

For Roman, it was when he was on a 3am snack run. Virgil was in the kitchen, singing softly with his headphones in. True to form, he was listening to some of the most well-known emo bops of the early 2000’s. 

Virgil sat on the counter with his eyes closed and legs swinging, gently bopping his head from side to side as he mumbled out the lyrics. He looked so carefree; it was just him and his music. 

Roman smiled softly and turned to head back upstairs. He could get a snack later, right now he’d leave their resident emo to bop in peace. 

–

It had been a long time since Deceit had interacted with Virgil. With their bridges being rebuilt, Dee felt like he was walking on eggshells around Virgil. So, when he walked in on Virgil just chilling on the couch, he was understandably ready to turn right back around and head out of the room. 

But Virgil noticed and waved him over, patting the seat next to him. When Dee sat, Virgil offered him an earbud and Dee accepted, his confusion shown clearly on his face. You Are Loved by Set It Off blared into his ear, and he decidedly did not tear up. 

No words were exchanged between them, but if Deceit snuggled a little closer than necessary and Virgil reciprocated with a hug, no one needed to know. 

–

Remus was beginning to think he’d never witness one of Virgil’s rare relaxed moments. It would make sense, he represented everything that made Virgil anxious. But one day he was in the kitchen, and Virgil walked in, wearing a sleepy expression and a fluffy purple robe. He paused upon entering, taking in Remus’s presence, then yawned and continued his path to the toaster. 

Remus stood there wide-eyed, ready to cry. They didn’t do much more than trade apprehensive glances, but Virgil was willingly in the same room as him and didn’t look like he was going to combust. He even offered a tired wave as he yawned and left to start his day (at 2pm, no less). 

Remus grinned and giggled giddily. It wasn’t perfect, but it was a start. 

Virgil’s more relaxed days were few and far between, but each side looked upon them with fond memories and hoped that for Virgil’s sake, there were more to come. 

tags below cut! I don’t usually do fic-specific tags, so if you want to see more of my stuff and had asked to be tagged in this, you can be added to my general list or my AU taglists!

First Words

Inspired by an ask I sent to @atomiktaco about their baby sides and then subsequently got way too invested in.

Baby Virgil’s first words. 

Warnings: Deceit and Remus, Child Virgil.  

The Mindscape was a busy place. It was definitely not the best to have a small child crawling around, especially not while Roman and Remus were brainstorming for the next video. Now, normally this wouldn’t be a problem, but due to who-knows-what happening on his and Roman’s last trek into the imagination, Virgil had suddenly become a very small child. 

All things considered, the other sides had adjusted rather well. Yes, Patton was a little overprotective and yes, it was because Remus tended to toss Virgil in the air, much to the child’s delight. Yes, Roman had treated him like a little doll the first week, conjuring more and more elaborate outfits for the toddler until he wailed, convincing Roman to stop. Yes, Logan and Deceit were frantically searching through any resources they could find online. But all things considered, they were doing a great job! Virgil was happy and healthy so really, what more could they ask for? 

Well, they could ask for a consistent way to communicate with the tiny side. Right now, it was just grunts and squeals and the occasional cries. But Virgil seemed to be barely a year old, they probably wouldn’t get much more than incoherent babbles out of him. 

So, with a bustling mindscape and a curious child, all five fully grown sides were playing a very stressful game of ‘pass the baby.’ At first he had been ‘helping’ Roman and Remus plan the video, though that mostly consisted of him scribbling on their notes in his favorite dark purple crayon. Then Remus got passionate about an idea and the noise scared tiny Virgil. He wailed, and Patton swooped in to pick him up, bouncing the baby and shushing him gently, whispering a mix of nonsense and reassurances to him. 

Virgil quieted down soon after and was content to stay there, tucked safely in Patton’s arms, but being the self-appointed dad came with a lot of self-imposed responsibilities! It soon became evident that Patton could not, in fact, both make lunch and entertain a fussy toddler, who was growing more and more distressed with the lack of attention Patton was paying him. So Logan swooped in to take his turn watching Virgil while Patton finished his kitchen duties. 

Virgil chirped happily and immediately began teething on Logan’s tie (Logan was thrilled). Logan thought perhaps it would be good to get Virgil out of the hustle and bustle of the commons, so he too Virgil upstairs with him to read, work on Thomas’s schedule, and write up an outline for the latest idea Roman and Remus had. 

Reading went off without a hitch, though Virgil seemed confused as to why the book had no pictures. Completing the schedule was a bit more difficult due to the purple crayon still clutched firmly in the child’s grasp. However, writing the outline was nearly impossible. Virgil Loved all the buttons on Logan’s laptop, and Logan wrote best when typing. Every sentence or so, there was a brief interval for a keysmash, courtesy of one young Virgil. After removing the fifth, sixth, and seventh instances of keysmashed gibberish, Logan sighed, getting up from his desk and heading back down to the commons where the twins were stationed. 

“Can you two take him again? I’m working on an introduction for the next video and while his contributions are rather endearing, I could do without random bouts of gibberish in my notes.” Logan asked, giving a tired sigh. 

Remus tilted his head in confusion. “Yeah we can take him but I understood like, absolutely zero of what you just said.” 

Roman snickered and Logan rolled his eyes. 

“He means Virgil likes his keyboard.” Roman explained, still snickering. 

Remus grinned at that, turning to address the child still cradled in Logan’s arms. 

“Are you causing chaos, you little gremlin?” Remus asked in an uncharacteristically gentle tone. 

“Ha!” Virgil replied, and it was close enough to a yes for Remus. 

“Oh, I knew it! I knew you were, little monster! I’m so proud, I’ve taught you so well…” 

Logan returned to his duties as Remus fawned over Virgil and Roman reprimanded him for not working. It was another fifteen minutes before Deceit entered the room, and Virgil absolutely lit up, gasping in excitement. 

“Deet!” Virgil chirped, childish grin going wide and wiggling in excitement. 

The rest of the room went quiet, though Virgil didn’t seem to notice. 

“Deet! Deet Deet Deet!” Virgil cried happily, reaching out toward Deceit in the only way the child really knew how, with grabby hands. And who was Deceit to deny the grabby hands? 

Virgil let out a victorious cheer upon being lifted into Deceit’s arms. Deceit could only offer a teary-eyed smile in return, bouncing Virgil gently as he babbled and repeated his name, “Deet!” 

Remus was the first to break the almost-silence. 

“No no, Virgil. It’s ‘Deceit.’ There’s a ‘sss’ sound in between the ‘ee’ sounds! Like a snake hiss! Can you make a snake hiss sound?” 

All eyes were on Virgil as he tried to wrap his tiny mind around what a snake sounded like and how to recreate it. Soon, a hesitant hissing noise graced their ears. 

“Sssssss… ssss…” Virgil tried. 

Deceit smiled. “Very good, Virgil! You’re practically a little python, aren’t you?” 

Virgil beamed up at Deceit, one of his pudgy hands reaching up and touching the scaled half of his face as gently as a toddler could, that being not gentle at all. 

“Sssss. Deet sssss!” Virgil declared, fingers stroking over the smooth scales. 

Deceit chuckled warmly. “I do look rather snakelike, don’t I?” 

“Ssss ssss ssss!” Virgil announced, giggling all the while, looking to Deceit for approval. 

“Sssss!” Deceit replied, his forked tongue darting between his lips briefly. 

Virgil’s eyes widened in surprise. He froze as he took in this new information. Deceit could practically see the thoughts forming in his little toddler brain. 

Virgil removed his hand from Deceit’s face and moved it to gingerly touch his own lips. Really, they all should’ve seen what was coming next. The fact that they didn’t made it all the funnier. 

Virgil stuck his tongue between his lips, and before Deceit could explain that Virgil doesn’t have a snake tongue, he executes his little experiment. 

“Pffbt!” 

Child spit flew everywhere, and though it wasn’t the outcome he expected, Virgil squealed with delight, giggling and clapping at the dumbfounded look on Deceit’s (and everyone else’s) face. 

Patton was the first to start laughing, followed by Deceit, and soon everyone was laughing along with Virgil, who smiled and pressed closer to the side still holding him. 

“Deet!”

Monster by dodie

yall, chad's quaking

Patton has no time for ur internalized gender roles, Chad.

[virgils-cup-of-bleach]

okayokayokayokay

what we already know from the comic n asks:

-dee was injured by his previous owners ( po )

-his po's were loud

-his po's lived in a not-rich home

-dee is quiet, he must have learnt to be quiet to avoid his po, it used to scare virgil

-he likes being perched on virgil's shoulders when he's not quite ready to let go

-doesn't trust new people easily

poor baby

questions:

-is 'dee' short for deceit? ( prolly not, we all love him too much for that )

-could he have been called a lying cat by previous owners? ( mayhaps, it could be a fun idea to play off of.

that dee's po's are similar to virgil, but opposites.

they didn't baby-talk him. they talked to him like he was another person. but lesser.

they were crude and loud and didn't care about his consent before entering his space. maybe po had kids who grabbed and screamed and tugged on his tail when he was spotted.

he scratched them once when they tugged his fur too hard and a guttural scream tore from their throats. dee's ears rang. his flesh stung. they pulled out a patch of his fur. he squeezed through a hole in the wall and hid under the house with the mice, knowing that his po would soon find him.

they'd demand an explanation. they'd get louder. they'd stomp and shout and in a flurry of movement he'd spook.

he'd quiver and softly whine.

"LIAR!" )

-would virgil look up a baby-name website and read out names until dee gave him a positibe response? ( i hope so.

maybe virgil borrowed a book from the library of old roman religion.

perhaps its for a college class. maybe he mumbled a couple words out loud as he read.

maybe dee quietly padded towards him and pawed at his mismatched socks -virgil was always afraid he'd spend too much time sorting and miss dee's mealtime- until virgil understood.

*janus. that's my name.* )

[virgils-cup-of-bleach]

:OOO

i'm imagining virgil sometimes climbs on remus' back for no reason

remus is happy to play steed while dee watches them run amuck, somewhat conflicted, remembering the time remus mentioned playing horse for his brother

These are doodles from one of the AUs I’ve been thinking.

They’re Forest Magicians, living in a forest that surrounds a small kingdom. They are powerful beings who are feared by many, but also sought out often for their power. They prefer to live undisturbed, but when a great danger threatens the kingdom, a prince seeks out their help.

Virgil was a citizen once, but he was cast aside by his neighbors because of his use of magic. He ran away to the forest, and Deceit found him. Dee took him under his wings, raised him, and taught him how to control his power.

Remus was… well, Virgil only knows that Remus and Deceit met when they were very young, and have been living as Forest Magicians ever since then. He heard one of the citizens whisper how strikingly alike Remus and the crowned Prince are. He suspects, but doesn’t care as long as they live peacefully.

[virgils-cup-of-bleach]

oh-

We are still so young, Still learning, Always

Obligatory follow up to the newest episode because my Roceit heart is shattered

[virgils-cup-of-bleach]

i really really really really love dee's name

of course i had a bit of a giggle bc "that's a mom name! my mama dee hc's are thriving!"

then roman laughed n i started crying

now i'm imagining remus sitting alone in the dark side's mind palace waiting for dee to come back with the good news

or at least a weight off his shoulders bc that's one less lie he has to guard

hhh roman being an insecure babie

logan out right saying "not that you care, but i am unharmed"

virgil not appearing at all despite all the anxious energy?

[virgils-cup-of-bleach]

hh

the small touch that roman's world is drawn in marker?

gives me mary from ib vibes

Let’s talk a little bit about Roman.

Last episode gave a lot of information to think about. But I’d like to concentrate on our princy-royal boy. Putting Others First made it completely clear that Roman is very insecure (that part, when he started to tell his opinion, but quickly stopped himself cuz “come on, that’s stupid, let’s forget about it”) and can’t think wider than white-and-black morals. But why could that happen? Well, I think because Ro has some big issues with trusting others. The only person he could trust was always Patton - we can see it in many episodes, where Roman is mean to others but sweet with Patton - and he was his moral compass. And before the last episode Pat had the same morality as Roman has - black-and-white. At the same time he doesn’t trust anyone else, except, maybe, Thomas. With them he is rude and bitchy, like a child, who is trying to push away things that he doesn’t understand and don’t want to understand. In his ideal world there are heroes and villains, and him and Patton and Thomas are definitely the first ones. So when Patton came to the “villain” side, it totally breaks the perfect world in Roman’s head - he is lost and doesn’t know what to do and how to act. He is used to do things that right, not what he want. And he doesn’t know anymore what’s right and what’s wrong. So he tries to defend himself like he always does - but he didn’t expect that no one will support him anymore.

God, I so hope that in the next episode my precious child will be okay…
