guess who's back :)
Okay seriously. Reblog if you're OLDER than 11.
why is it that not more than 1/20 of Tumblr havenβt reblogged this
This is⦠disturbing.
I wonder if Lio would be glad to finally have a daughter that shares his hair texture, and if Wolf would let Kipo pick out all her hair accessories
hereβs a completely unnecessary sequel because I want Wolf to have little sibling energy

WTFΒ
I SAY WHAT THE FΒ
WHAT WAS HAPPENING !??!
*ah, i need to elaborate, iβm not stressed over this, iβm .. uhm. shook, more like it, yes, ahhahahΒ
IS THIS TRUE? OMG !!!
I just remember something, due to this article hereΒ
The fire at the bookstore was real and the burning books were also real, too ( they collected thrown away books and made them look like antique books)
BONUS:
Hey um wtf
βAnd Iβm very glad that he survivedβ WHAT
CGI-for-everything is so common nowadays that everyone forgets thereβs still a complete branch of physical FX called βpyrotechnicsβ.
Shifted
Thomas decides to see what all the Sideβs animal forms would be. It does not go so well for Anxiety.Β
This is set pre accepting anxiety, and diverges a little from the cannon of that episode, fair warning.
He is terrified. His heart is pounding as he pulls further back into the shadows, hiding under the couch. He can hear the others out there, talking, laughing, having fun. This isnβt fun.
βAn owl? Really, Thomas, owls arenβt even actually smart, their eyes take up much of their cranial cavity.β
βCome on, kiddo, they are symbols of wisdom. And those wings sure must be nifty! Iβm having a pawsome time myself!β A groan at the pun.
βI always thought Logan was a bit bird brained.β Roman mutters. βBut seriously, a dragon? While the scales are quite flattering, it is a bit strange, considering I usually fight them.β
βI donβt know, Roman, I guess cause youβre always talking about questing I just settled on a fantasy creature. It is pretty cool.β He rolls his eyes at the huff of pride he can hear as Roman no doubt puffs up his chest, flares his wings.
βSpeaking of strange, whereβs anxiety?β his ears flatten against his head, pulse picking up again. Theyβre talking about him. Β
βHe should be here. I did summon him.β Thomas, confused. He curses his inability to sink out in this form.
βPerhaps he has taken the form of a smaller animal and is hiding.β He almost hisses, could Logic shut up for once?
βAw, maybe we should look for him! Heβll probably be so cute!β
βPlease. That weirdo is probably a venomous spider or a little parasite. Who cares, where he is?β yes, thank you Roman, for once being not a moron.
βPatton, if youβre worried perhaps you can sniff him out. You are a cat, after all.β No. Nonono. Logic, shut it!
βGood idea, Logan. Give it a try!β and he is outta here before he even knows what heβs doing. Β
His terror skyrockets and he shoots out from under the couch to the startled yelps of everyone else. Everything is big, huge, compared to him, the living room seems endless.
The stairs, he just needs to get to the stairs and heβll be able to physically enter the mindscape, heβs so close-
Then there is the flap of wings, a victorious shriek, and talons are digging into his shoulders pinning him down.
βWell, what have we here?β He shoves aside his fear, proud as his voice comes out just as scathing and steady as ever.
βGet off, you overgrown lizard.β He bites out, Romanβs scaled head coming into view. He glares at Romanβs laughter.
βAnxiety, kiddo? Is that you?β
βNo, its Joan, yes itβs me, Patton, now get off, Roman!β His heart is beating fast, too fast, and his words are wavering. He is afraid, afraid, afraid. He hates this, hates it, he just wants this to be over.
βHmm. I donβt think I will. Think about it, Thomas. We have the opportunity here to get anxiety out of our way for good.β His stomach drops, his blood goes cold, he is shaking.
βRoman, what are you suggesting?β Logan, he canβt be considering this, please no, please!
βI mean, we donβt need to vanquish him. We can keep him like this. Put him in a cage, or something.β
βIβm not a pet, you idiot, and you canβt keep me like this forever.β He hisses out.
βOh contraire, little mouse, we can keep you weak enough you donβt have any choice.β His heart lurches as he is lifted up, Romanβs wings buffeting him, they are in the air.
βRoman, put me down! Iβ¦ please! Pleasepleasepleaseβ¦β he is crying now, begging, because he canβt, this canβt be happening, they canβt actually intend to keep him locked in this form, weak and powerless, in a cage. Β
The floor seems so far away, and he feels sick, from the altitude shift or what is happening or both, he canβt tell. The anguished terror is filling him and he lets out a broken, choked sob. Β
This is what he gets, for thinking he could ever be accepted, for thinking he could ever be tolerated, much less liked. All heβd ever done was his job, and this is his reward.
βLogan, what-β he lets out a squeak despite himself as a blur of gray rams into Roman, sending him spiraling off balance.
Then he feels the talonβs grip slip, and he screams. He is falling, flipping through the air. From this height in this form his bones will break, shatter, with his luck his neck will snap. He has time to cry for help, before he impacts.
βGotcha!β The halt is jarring, and he is shaking, instinctively flattening himself to make as small a target as possible as he tries to get ahold of himself. He realizes itβs soft, the ground.
He looks up and nearly screams again, instead flattening further. Patton has caught him, sitting on his back haunches, he is caught in Pattonβs front paws.
βp-p-put me d-down. Please.β His voice is a whisper, trembles making him stutter, but Patton instantly complies, much to his relief.
He hears a shriek and looks up, just in time to see silver talons coming right at him, then they crash into him and he feels a ripping pain in his shoulder. Β
He can hear Patton yelling, Logan screeching, Roman growling, and it is loud so loud and all he can think is he is about to die-
βEnough!β Thomas yells, and suddenly the ground isnβt so close, suddenly he is stumbling to his feet, lunging for his normal spot on the stairs, reaching it in two strides. He lets out a relieved sob as he clutches the bannister, looking back at the others.
Logan has landed in a heap on the couch. Patton and Roman are tangled around each other on the floor. Pattonβs gaze meets his, worried.
βkiddo, youβre bleeding.β He lifts his hand numbly to his shoulder, mildly surprised as it comes away sticky and red. He lets out a broken, bitter laugh.
βGee, wonder how that happened. Not like someone was trying to kill me, or worse hold me captive and torture me for my whole existence.β His voice is raw and instead of biting sarcasm, it comes out as an almost whisper, red rimmed eyes glaring at the floor as he shakes, from latent fear and pulsing anger.
βAnxiety-β he half successfully chokes back another sob, harsh laughter tearing at his lungs.
βno, know what, itβs fine. Itβs fine, Thomas. I always knew I wasnβt wanted. I was an idiot to hope you mightβ¦ might ever actually change, actually want me around. Hell, even care about me like I care about you and keeping you safe.β He can barely stand, he doesnβt know if itβs from the pain and blood loss or the adrenaline fading or the panic attack he can feel pressing against him, tightening his chest.
βKiddoβ¦β he shakes his head.
βY'know, if you really wanted me dead, all you had to do was ask. I wouldβve done it myself.β He doesnβt look up. Doesnβt see the pained shock on Pattonβs face, the suspicious surprise on Romanβs, the horror on Loganβs. The pain on Thomasβs. Instead, he flips up his hood, hugging himself as he wordlessly sinks out.
He managed to lock the door before he collapses to the floor. His chest feels like itβs being squeezed by a boa constrictor, his ribs crushed and all the air shoved out of his lungs. His vision narrows to a dark pinprick, gaze unseeing as he sees Romanβs talons again and again, falling and splattering against the floor, bones shattered, bars, a cage, closing in, pressing him tight, he canβt breathe, heβs choking, heβs dying, god, heβs going to die here. Why not? He laughs hysterically, thatβs what they want, may as well give it to βem.
βvirgil, no. Itβs not what we all want. Come back to me, stormy. Focus on my voice. You can do it, Virgil.β Virgil. None of them know his name. Only, onlyβ¦
βDee?β he chokes out, blurry vision focusing enough to see Deceit, holding his hands in his lap, rubbing circles on his knuckles.
βThere we are. Hello, dearest.β Deceit reaches up, softly wiping away his tears, brushing back his hair.
βIβm an idiot. Iβm a stupid idiot.β He mutters.
βNo. Virgil, youβre not. Itβs ok.β He hisses in a breath of pain as Dee places a hand on his shoulder, vision going speckly at the slight contact. Dee pulls away, eyes wide, face darkening to fury.
βYouβre hurt. Vee, youβre bleeding" he just shrugs, another sob clawing its way out of his throat.
βDoesnβt matter.β He whispers. Deceit hisses, and pulls him onto his lap.
βIt does. Even if they donβt care, even if they donβt love you, I do. It matters to me. You will always matter to me. Youβre my baby, Virg. Even if youβve left the nest, youβre still my little rain storm. Got it?β He feels Deeβs extra arms removing his hoodie, then all six are cradling him against Deeβs chest, holding him tight and safe and secure, letting him relax and melt into the touch, knowing Dee will never let anything hurt him. He feels Dee press a kiss to his head.
βyouβve wiped yourself out, love. Iβll take care of that nasty shoulder gash. Get some sleep, dearest.β Weakly, he clings to Deeβs shirt. He doesnβt want him to let go, he doesnβt feel safe, if Dee lets go.
βIβm staying, darling. Iβll stay as long as you want.β
βremus-β
βcan rain down all the hell he wants. Until youβre better, they deserve it.β He finds he canβt argue with that. He falls asleep to Dee humming softly, stroking his forehead and holding his hand, his other arms working to gently bandage his shoulder.
Deceit sighs as he hears a crash. Looking up, he sees Remus kick in the door, eyes aflame.
βwho hurt him? Whoβs ass do I gotta beat until it falls off?β Β
βhush. I just got him settled.β Dee replies. In three strides, Remus is beside him, head cocked unnaturally far to the side, like a snapped neck.
βHeβs ok?β Remus asks, neck snapping back to a normal position with an audible click.
βyes. Keep an eye on him, please?β
βWhat? Whereβre you going?β Remus asks. Deceitβs eyes flash.
βI am going to go see what exactly those half-witted buffoons did to send him spiraling. Then I am going to determine whom it is I need to beat the shit out of.β Deceit growled, stepping away from the bed.
βBoo, you never let me have any fun.β Remus pouts. He instantly stops as Virgil lets out a small sound, immediately climbing into the bed with him and spooning around him. Virgil curls against him immediately, stilling as he clings onto Remus.
βThank you.β Deceit murmurs from the doorway. Remus nods.
βIβll take care of our little stormy night. You go teach βem a lesson, Dee.β Remus replies, relishing the sharp fanged smile Deceit flashes him, before sinking out. As an afterthought, he snaps, replacing the door, before turning his attention to Virgil, trying to mentally send him all of his love. Virgil is more of a brother to him Β than Roman has ever been, and he hates seeing him hurt.
βhang in there, vee. Deeβll fix everything.β
βI highly doubt he wants to be called right now.β
βBut he was so scared! We have to help!β
βI donβt know Pat, seeing us might make it worse.β He clears his throat. He meets three sets of surprised eyes with steel. Thomas yelps and falls backwards, catching himself on the wall.
βWho is that?!β Β
βDeceit, you scurrilous snake, what are you doing here?β his eyes narrow at that.
βOh, Iβm sorry, Roman, was I not wanted here at this exact moment?β his voice is a perfect mimicry of Virgilβs, and to his satisfaction it makes Roman flinch.
βThomas. This is Deceit. He is responsible for the lies you tell not only others, but yourself. I am puzzled as to why you have appeared now. To my knowledge, no lies have been spoken.β Logan explains, and his hands ball into fists.
βOh, truly, why ever would I be here? It'ssss not like Anxiety returned bloody and injured, in the midsssst of a panic attack, talking about how nobody wantssss him and it doessssnβt matter. Iβm sure that hassss nothing to do with it, Logic.β He hisses out, spitting Loganβs title like it burns his tongue.
He can see Pattonβs guilty face out of the corner of his eye, knows whatever happened, it wasnβt him. But Romanβ¦ yes.
βSo Thomas, dear, care to explain what happened?β He asks, sickly sweet, turning his gaze to Thomas, who has a slight frown on his face. As an afterthought, he notes that Thomas isnβt afraid of him, despite his scales and sharp fangs. Interesting.
βI thought it would be cool to see what everyoneβs animal forms would be. Logan was an owl, Pat was a persian cat, and Roman was a dragon. But we didnβt see anxiety anywhere so we thought he was small and hiding and maybe too scared to move. Pat was gonna find him, then a mouse shot out from under the couch and Romanβ¦β Thomas trails off, eyes shifting away, but itβs enough to confirm his suspicions.
βRoman. Care to continue?β Roman meets his ice cold gaze imperiously. Β
βgladly. I captured the fiend in my claws. Hurting him was an accident. I merely meant to catch him while he was small and couldnβt hurt us and contain him. Keep him small, so heβd stop bothering Thomas. Itβs not like we need him, anyways.β Roman scoffs.
Rage is filling him. Because Roman truly thinks he is in the right, truly thinks he didnβt do anything wrong, and his voice is proud as he speaks about traumatizing Virgil, who is the youngest, the smallest, the most vulnerable to start with. How dare he?
Before he can think, he has crossed the room, he rears his hand back and slaps Roman hard enough to send him reeling backwards.
βYou are a heartless, soulless bastard. I told him not to come, I told him heβd get hurt but he didnβt listen. You know why? Itβs certainly not because he wants to be included, he doesnβt yearn for your acceptance, it doesnβt break him a little more each time you all dismiss and send him away unwanted. He definitely doesnβt just want to be liked! He never has a hard enough time just being himself, being afraid, all the fucking time, and you have certainly helped make him feel right at home.β He hisses, ignoring the tears stinging at his eyes as he whips around, facing the rest of them.
βAnd youβre no better. How do you think it feels, knowing the person who conjured you doesnβt even want you? How terrified would you be, surrounded by people who have never showed you kindness, who have admitted their distaste, small and defenseless, being threatened to be put in a cage? His worst fear is something happening to Thomas and being unable to reach him, to react and help. Itβs his job to protect Thomas, and you were threatening to keep him away, to put Thomasβs own safety at risk for your own stupid biases! You were threatening to make his nightmare real, and not a single fucking one of you said otherwise, did you?!β He yells, slowly looking at each of them in turn. No one will meet his eyes now, not even Roman.
βyou donβt deserve him. You donβt deserve his name. No wonder he hasnβt told you. Youβre a bunch of ignorant bullies. And youβd say Iβm the bad guy. You all picked out the most vulnerable and pounced.β He shifts his head, turning to Thomas, a curling, empty smile on his face.
βIt was a fucking pleasure, Thomas. Iβll be taking my leave.β The lie is bitter and acrid on his tongue, tasting of ash as he sinks out.
He returns to Virgilβs room, immediately hurrying to his bedside, because he is crying, despite Remusβs attempts to soothe him.
βVee, whatβs wrong?β he asks. Virgil glares at him through his tears.
βyou said you were gonna stay!β he lets out a soft breath, sitting on the edge of the bed.
βI know. I just had to check on something. But you know Remus would never let anything hurt you, right?β Virgil nods, leaning back into Remusβs arms.
βThatβs right, starshine. Youβre safe.β Remus whispers, rocking Virgil gently, who responds by pressing his face into Remusβs chest.
βYouβre staying now, right?β Virgil mumbles. He smiles, slipping under the covers.
βI am. No lies this time.β He murmurs as Virgil lays down, curling into him. He reaches out with all six arms, pulling Remus closer, hugging both of them and sandwiching Virgil in warmth and safety.
βWhat was it?β Remus asks lowly, once Virgil is out again. He sighs.
βShapeshifting, animal forms. He was a mouse. Roman was a dragon. Threatened to keep him locked up. It got physical.β
βYou mean Roman was a bitch and attacked Virgil unprovoked.β Remusβs voice is flat, and he shoots him a soft look, one of his hands slipping into Remusβs.
βIβm going to kill him.β He squeezes Remusβs hand.
βLater. We can work on murder plans later. Right now Vee needs us.β
βAnxiety, itβs dinner time!β Pattonβs voice trills. He opens his eyes with a groan, freezing instantly.
Thisβ¦ isnβt his room. It isnβt even the commons. Heβs laying in soft bedding. He realizes heβs in a little plastic hut. His heart speeds. He looks down at himself, human, good.
He flinches as the house is lifted up, leaving him exposed. His breath catches in his lungs, Patton is looming over him, he is giant. He skitters back, realizing his back is pressing against metal wire. Cage, he is in a cage, he is tiny, in a cage.
He scrambles, trying to claw his way out, trying to bend the wire enough to wriggle out.
βhey, now. None of that kiddo.β His stomach flips as hands squeaze around his waist and he is lifted into the air. He is barely as tall as Pattonβs ring finger, he is so high in the air as Patton places him down on his palm.
βpatton please, please, just let me go, please!β he begs, feeling tears slipping down his face.
βAw, I know kiddo. But this is better for everyone. This way youβre still around but donβt bother Thomas.β He stumbles as Patton places him back in the cage, doubling over and choking on sobs as a small food dish is placed inside, the shadows of bars shading his face.
He is still begging, pleading, screaming, for Patton, for anyone, to let him out, let him go, but he knows no one is coming, and the bars are pressing in, and soon there wonβt be any more space, any more air. Β
βhush, stormy, shhh. Itβs ok. Itβs ok, lovely.β His eyes fly open, and he clings to Dee, feeling all of his arms cradling him tight as he sniffles into his shoulder, sobs shaking his thin frame.
βJust a dream, Vee.β He feels Remusβs hand on his, feels the terror and residual fear draining out of him as the nightmare is removed from his mind. The pros of dark creativity. Remus can steal other peopleβs bad thoughts, bad dreams, but then he experiences whatever the thoughts were. He hears Remusβs sharp inhale as he sees it, feels his hand tighten itβs grip.
βthanks ree.β He manages, his voice hoarse and sore.
βVirgil, love, we should talk about it. I only got minor details from them.β
βwhatβs to say? They were going to keep me in a cage, they d-didnβt want me.β Dee draws back a tad, looking down at Virgilβs face, eyes hidden behind his bangs.
βdid anyone help? Surely not all of them went along with this.β He shrugs, taking a deep breath.
βR-roman g-g-rabbed me in his talons and st-started flying. But he yelledβ¦ I think L-Logan tried to stop him. He was an o-o-owl. I think he rammed Roman and made him drop me. P-p-patton c-caught me. Andβ¦ and he put me down, right away, when I asked. Iβ¦ I donβt think they woulda let Roman k-keep me.β He mumbles out, shaking. Dee feels his heart breaking, can feel the murder on Remusβs face.
βThatβs good, Virge. They were trying to defend you.β Virgil shakes his head.
βbut they didnβt. Only p-patton even cared I was h-hurt. Thomasβ¦ Thomas didnβt say a-anything.β
βbut he changed you back.β His brow creases as he looks out from Deeβs arms at Remusβs words. βif he agrees with Roman, he wouldnβt have changed you back.β Β
βHeβs right, lovely. Thomas doesnβt hate you. I know that. That is fact.β He sighs.
βDoesnβt feel like it right now.β He mumbles.
βI know. And thatβs ok, Virge.β Dee kisses his head softly. He startles at a knock on the door. Β
βRemus, see who it is?β
βIf itβs princey stab him for me.β Virgil mumbles, making Remus chuckle and ruffle his hair.
βGladly, stormy.β Β
He throws open the door, leaning in the doorway with a cocky grin, teeth sharp and eyes glinting.
βWell, well, hello there Daddy. Have I been naughty?β he teases, moving to block Pattonβs view of the room.
βRemusβ¦ whatβ¦ what are you doing here?β Patton asks nervously. Β
βApparently playing the butler. Y'know, Patton, in the movies the butler is always guilty of murder.β He tilts his head slowly, relishing the fear that races across Pattonβs face. βNow, what are you doing here, daddio?β Patton fiddles with his sweater sleeves, a frown settling on his face.
βI justβ¦ I know he probably doesnβt want to see us right now, heck, maybe ever, and I donβt fault him for it. Todayβ¦ today was bad. Really, really bad. I just want to make sure heβs ok. And apologize. Weβ¦ we chewed out Roman. His actions were unacceptable. Justβ¦ I would never let that happen. Heβs notβ¦ heβs a person, and I donβt always agree with him, but that doesnβt give anyone the right to take away his voice or opinion. Can you justβ¦ pass that on, for me? Please?β Β
Remus looks back at the bed, softening as he sees Virgil uncurling from Dee, sitting with his knees pulled to his chest, leaning against Dee, who has an arm around his shoulders. Virgil looks up at Dee, a silent question. Β
βNo lies.β Dee murmurs, and Virgil bites his lip. βYou wanna let him in?β He asks softly. Virgil hesitates, but nods. Β
βIf he means itβ¦ yeah.β Virgil mumbles. Β
βHe does. Remus, stop playing. V- Anxiety says he can come in.β He calls, catching himself before using Virgilβs actual name. Remus sighs, but steps aside. Β
βWell? Come in then.β Β
Hesitantly, Patton steps inside the dark room, taking in the soft, dark carpet, the dark to light purple gradient painted on the walls. There are also posters for bands carefully hung in frames, and a few posters for movies that Anxiety must like. He sees fairy lights strung across the ceiling that sparkle like stars without the main lights turned on. Β
He lets out a soft noise of hurt as he takes in Anxiety, knees pulled to his chest, his shoulders hunched. His eyeshadow is smeared all over his face, his eyes red and puffy. He glances at Deceit, not as surprised to see him here, tilting his head. Deceit nods minutely, and he sits down next to Anxiety, legs dangling over the edge of the bed, careful not to touch him, to give him space. Β
βhey kiddo. Howβs your shoulder?β He asks. Β
βbetter. Dee helped. It stillβ¦ still hurts.β His voice is quiet and unsure and hoarse. Β
βYeah. I think it would be pretty strange if it didnβt. Iβm glad youβre going to be ok, though. Even if it hurts now, itβll feel better eventually.β Β
βwill it?β He is surprised as Patton pulls him into a hug, startled, but after a moment he leans into it, tucking his chin against Pattonβs shoulder. Β
βI have never wanted you to die. I have never wanted you to leave. Youβre one of my kiddos, kiddo, and that means I stand up for you when something hurts you, no matter who or what it is.β
βiβm scared. I hateβ¦ I hate being smallβ¦ I hateβ¦ itβs so big, everythingβ¦ I could drown, in a puddle, I could be crushed by a book, I could be stepped on, I could be crushed, I could get hurt and no one would know, no one would realize or find me. I could be cagedβ¦β He chokes out, fear flooding through him again. βI could be caged and my influence squashed, and then no one would protect Thomas, look out for dangers, keep himβ¦ keep him on task, keep him motivated to d-do better. I c-canβtβ¦ trapped, and b-bars and it-itβs too muchβ¦ too smallβ¦β He is shaking again, on the edge of hysteria, but Patton is rocking him, holding him. Β
βOh honeyβ¦ Iβm sorry. Iβm so sorry. We didnβt know you were gonna be that little. Iβm sorry we didnβt ask permission first, we werenβt thinking. I promise, promise,β he pulled back so Anxiety could see his eyes, tears spilling down his own cheeks, βthat I will physically fight anyone who suggests we do that again, who even dares to mention putting you in a cage. I nearly did fight Roman, Logan had to hold me back.β That gets a weak laugh out of Anxiety, imagining Logan holding back a kicking and spitting furious Patton. βI love you, kiddo. I really, really do, and if anyone has a problem with that, has a problem with you, theyβll have to go through me first.β Pattonβs voice is fierce, and he doesnβt have to look at Dee to know that he isnβt lying. Β
βT-thomas-β Β
βIs worried about you, kiddo. I came to check on you cause he wanted to make sure you were gonna be ok. What you saidβ¦ really, really scared us, but we didnβt wanna summon you, because we knew you probably didnβt want to be summoned. Heβs sorry, too. We all are.β Β
βEven Roman?β He asks, bitterness in his voice. Patton hesitates, sighing. Β
βI donβt know. I thinkβ¦ I think heβs sorry he got yelled at, sorry he got in trouble, sorry we didnβt agree with him. But I donβt think heβs sorry for what he actually did to you, said to you. Which makes me angry, because he should be sorry, but he isnβt, and if he isnβt, I canβt change that. What I can do is make sure you are going to be alright. I can learn what else we shouldnβt do without asking your permission. I can be better at speaking up when Roman threatens or takes jabs at you, and eventually, hopefully, his attitude will change as he learns none of us are going to enable him anymore. Iβm sorry it went this far.β He blinks, surprised. He didnβt expect Patton to acknowledge Romanβs inability to see his own wrongdoings. He didnβt expect Patton to admit to his own shortcomings. He didnβt expect Patton to beβ¦ honest. Β
βWhat would you like us to do for now, Anxiety? Clearly, you have two people who love you very much helping your right now, so I feel ok leaving, if you like. I just didnβt want you to be alone, when you were so upset. Thomasβ¦ all of us, want to speak with you about what happened, to try and make ammends, but weβll do that on your terms, so thereβs no rush. Just, whenever youβre ready to talk, weβre ready to listen. Β If you like, I can bring you meals, if you donβt wanna leave your room for a while. I wanna keep you healthy, and I know if I leave you to your own devices itβll be chips and soda for every meal.β He lets out a little snort at that, because Patton is right, of course, and heβs already calmed down so much because Patton is being so nice, and he knows Dee would have told him if Patton had lied. Β
βthat all sounds good, yeah.β He mumbles, shifting out of Pattonβs hug, pulling his knees to his chest once again. Β
βok. Is there anything else you need, or would like me to do?β He bites his lip, thinking. Β
βJustβ¦ just let them know Iβm ok? If theyβre really that worried about me.β Patton squeezes his non injured shoulder once as he stands, smiling gently. Β
βWill do, kiddo. If you ever need anything, or just want some company, donβt be afraid to call me up.β Β
βIβ¦ might.β Patton smiles again, soft and warm. Β
βI love you, Anxiety.β Patton turns away, but before he sinks out, Virgil steels his courage. Β
βVirgil!β He shouts, and the room seems to freeze. Remus is staring at him in wide eyed surprise. Deceit has stopped rubbing his back, and Patton falters mid step, before turning to face him, something akin to awe on his face. βThatβsβ¦ my name. My name is Virgil.β A huge smile blooms across Pattonβs face, his eyes light up with tender joy, and he sniffles, wiping away tears. Β
βVirgil. I think thatβs a lovely name, Virgil. I know Iβm usually a blabber mouth, but it when it counts, I can keep a secret.β Patton winks, sending a smile flashing across his own face as warmth blooms in his chest. With a wave, Patton sinks out, and he collapses back against Deceit with a long, low sigh. Β
βYou sure about that, Virg?β Remus asks, from where heβs leaning against the wall, having simply observed everything. Β
βyeah. Yeah Iβ¦ think I am.β He feels Dee press another soft kiss to the top of his head. Β
βProud of you, lovely.β He smiles, closing his eyes as he feels Remus settle on the other side of him. He is still scared and afraid and knows the nightmares wonβt leave him alone for ages, now. But he also knows that at least Patton is on his side. And Patton is almost more of a mama bear than Deceit. If the two of them are looking out for him, he knows nothing will hurt him like this ever again.
Virgil: I'm panicking.
Logan: Why?
Virgil: Maybe because it's nearly the end of the year, maybe because I'm forgetting something, maybe because it's just who I am as a person.
Logan: I should stop asking...

tw// explosion
Hello, hope all of you are safe and doing well.
You may have heard of what happened in Lebanon today and if not, basically, there was a big explosion in Beirut that affected many cities, destroyed shops, homes, cars, caused many injuries and deaths. The cause is uncertain.
As a fellow lebanese myself (that also lives there), today was absolutely terrifying, probably the scariest moments of my life. We heard a deafening sound as the floors were shaking. Some of us thought it was an attack, others thought it was an earthquake. As soon as it ended many expected a second one, which luckily never happened.
Here's a video of what happened that was sent to me, there are also many others that you can find online.
Windows were broken, doors wrecked, cars flipped over, buildings collapsed, people hit by flying or falling objects, and unfortunately, many didn't make it out alive.
We were one of the lucky ones, our families and friends were all safe and our homes were fine.
Some people couldn't even get out of the crumbling builings, so we saw corpses being pulled out, although some people survived the crash. But wherever we looked, there was blood, poeple were half covered in it, their shirts, pants, hair, everything. And that sight was traumatizing.
We watched the news with elders severely injured, children with blood-spattered shirts and people in pain that couldn't get in the hospitals because they were full.
Some people are missing. Just try to imagine the pain and fear their families and friends are feeling.
Articles about what happened, there are a lot more
Not only are we in the middle of a pandemic, but Lebanon is also going through a very serious economical crisis. To give you an example, before, $1 equaled 1 500 lebanese pounds. Nowadays, $1 equals more than 7 000 lebanese pounds. Not to mention that we obviously don't have any dollars at disposition, so yeah we're fucked.
People are hungry, homeless, unemployed. And even if they are getting paid, it'll be useless since the prices of everything went up because they were affected by the economical fiasco.
Important additional information
Today, I heard my 7 year old cousins scream in fear that they were going to die. I saw my aunt shaking, worried that her children won't survive. I saw my dad freak out while trying to reassure us when we both knew that we were uncertain about the next minutes of our lives. I heard the panic in the trembling voices of my family and friends as they couldn't believe what had just happened. I thought my loved ones and I were going to die in the next seconds.
I'm never forgetting those moments and feelings.
I don't think signing petitions will help, i don't even know if the following links will help either, I just know Lebanon and it's people are desperate for anything because the future of this country is extremely uncertain.

I think donating to the red cross would be the most helpful, so if you are considering it, it'd be great.
There are so many great threads on twitter about what you can do to help, just search help lebanon or something to find them. Also if you can, please donate, and as I said, the lebanese pound is pretty much worthless currently so USD is way more useful to us.
