Important note: I will be reblogging and posting stuff about the book/movie “Project Hail Mary.” Until the end of July, I will tag it as “PHM spoilers” and “project Hail Mary spoilers”, so if you don’t want to get spoiled block those tags!!
Intro post!

Important info
┈───┈
Hello! I’m Rifty or Riffs (courtesy of @/m1l0-58), as well as any variation of those you can think of—I love nicknames! My pronouns are she/her, and I’m an artist who dabbles in writing from time to time. My Ao3 is Rifty_Doodles if you want to check some of it out ^^
here’s some stuff about me: (bold/coloured text are things I consider important)
I am not comfortable with being dm’ed. If you want to ask me something or talk to me, the comment section of all of my posts are open and tags are a-okay!
My main interests are Project Hail Mary (the book and the movie) and Sanders Sides, but I also enjoy Shoot from the Hip, Good Omens, Detroit: Become Human, The Magnus Archives (currently on episode 38), outer space, The Legend of Zelda, and the Hatchetfield trilogy.
No specific DNI list, but I do block people that I don’t want on my blog.
I’m currently listening to the Magnus Archives, so there will be a bunch of posts tagged with various trigger warnings as I’m live-blogging. If there are any warnings you’d like me to tag for lmk but you have been warned.
I am Christian, and you may do with that information as you please.
I reblog a lot, so if you don’t want that in your dash or notifs don’t follow. I do tag it with #reblogs though. I don’t maintag my rb’s, so don’t be worried about that before you scroll :3
(P.S. If you decide to scroll through my ‘sanders sides’ and ‘project hail Mary’ tags, I’d recommend you block the ‘reblogs’ tag bc any post/reblog I had tagged as ‘sanders sides spoilers’ showed up as well :<)
Feel free to tag me in things, but do keep in mind that my online social battery is very small, so there is a high chance i won’t respond if it’s a convo post or tag game.
My art tag is #doodles and dots, random thoughts and ideas I have are under #rifty’s ramblings, and my writing is under #rifty writes.
(extra things below this point)
ˏ⸉ˋ‿̩͙‿̩͙‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩͙‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩͙‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩͙‘⸊ˎ
Other stuff
My favourite side is Virgil, closely followed by Logan and Janus.
My favourite bands/musicians are Nehmasis, Taylor Swift, Finnegan Tui, AJR, Tom Cardy, The Crane Wives, The Oh Hellos and Annapantsu.
I use Procreate for digital art, and various sketchbooks (one of which used to be a planner/calender!) for traditional. My favourite art supplies are acrylic brush pens and coloured ballpoint pens.
Random rb threads that have names:
evil evil brain snake thats a liar: Janus has taken over Rifty’s brain and Vari (@/varianwonder) has to go into her mind and save her from possession. What started out as a silly post that became a silly Janus rp that became dnd. Idk man I just work here.
The toonsquid tapes: another silly rp with @/varianwonder again where Rifty rescues vari from a personified toonsquid holding them hostage. Tw for mentions of guns, swords and injury. Very lighthearted and goofy though.
Aurora balderdash: literally just me and vari saying words that start with a and then b. No direction, just nonsense.

Anyhoo, I hope you enjoy your time on my blog and have a great timezone, wherever or whoever you are! <3

The dichotomy between Janus being the primary driver of the urge to fit in whilst also being one of the ones that stands out on purpose is quite interesting to me, especially due to his impulse to protect his ego as much as possible. One would think he would try to conform and make his personality appear like the others', but he very intentionally sets himself apart. He does, however, disguise himself as the others when he thinks his own persona won't be enough to successfully either get his point across or appear trustworthy enough to believe. When in the form of himself, though, he actually explicitly attempts to make himself seem worse than he actually may desire to be at heart, not better.
He hides his real self consistently, but never in the way that he pushes Thomas to. He wants Thomas to have a support system, but doesn't outwardly care if he has one himself. He wants Thomas to succeed, no matter the cost to his own quality of life. It's reminiscent of Virgil's "putting on a dark persona is the best way to get anyone's guard up," as Janus puts up a wall of darkness and misdirection as a way to shield himself and expose the others, but while also using the faces of the others to get Thomas' guard down when he feels it's necessary. He feigns innocence just as he does evil, but hardly ever gives being himself a try.
Why should he? If he's vulnerable in any manner, he just gets torn down. When he's on the verge of tears, when he's trying to be honest, and even when he's giving a glimpse into a version of himself not shrouded in self-protection. It always ends in some sort of insult or a different reason to keep hiding. He wants to be trusted, but he's scared to act in the way that may earn him that the fastest because it's been proven to not be safe for him to do so. That way, of course, would be being genuine.
Make no mistake, Janus is still very morally gray at his core. He's supposed to be. He's supposed to do what benefits him, as well as what benefits Thomas, regardless of what the actual morals attached to the decision may be. He has proven this in various different ways. But he actively places himself in the role of the aggressor, even when he would seemingly prefer that the conversation be handled in a calmer manner.
Now that he's accepted and the others are starting to get to know him more, his facade is starting to fall. They're starting to see more of his truth, and why he hides so much of it from him. The question remains of how Janus will react to being discovered, and just what will it take to bring his genuine personality out for everyone else to see?

Guy makes a really stupid decision and gets in a car accident -> no real damage from accident but insurance goes up -> starts beating himself up over his stupid decision -> gets depressed -> starts to realize he's single and had crash been worse he'd die alone -> realizes he's never had a relationship or even a crush and starts wondering what he'd want out of a relationship -> starts to realize he doesn't really like girls so he thinks he must be gay -> realizes he likes girls and boys about the same amount, so he must be bi -> later realizes that "same amount" is none at all -> he's ace
Rediscovering my love for sanders sides, and now having the skillset to draw the sides the way I wanted to back when I first discovered them, is one of the best feelings I’ve ever had with my art
Drew this with the purple crayon from the halloween pack </3
How do I explain to you people that interracial relationships are okay
Not every white person dating a POC is fetishizing. White people can be respectful and responsible when it comes to culture and relationships and not everyone has bad intentions.
Asian people can date Black people without you saying shit like “your kids will be so pretty” they’re not dating for pretty kids. They’re dating bc they like each other.
Someone can dress their partner in clothing from their culture if they want. Someone can take their partner to cultural events if they want.
People in relationships can share cultures, experiences and love without it being toxic or skin deep.
Their partner isn’t culturally appropriating. Their partner is being shown the ultimate form of love, bc their partner trusts them and loves them enough to share their history and heritage.
Yeah, dating someone from your culture is nice bc you automatically have similar experiences. But you’re not limited to dating people with the same experiences. Loving someone is sharing and growing and being together.
Interracial relationships aren’t always toxic, and some of y’all need to stop projecting onto other people.
