Virgil:

- Creates doll based statues (dolls that can’t really move, more for decoration)

- Generally his works have dark-ish style and a creepy feel. The kind of dolls that are beautiful but unnerving.

- Insects/arachnids, original fairytales, and gothic themes are his main inspiration as well as just creepy/cool things in general.

- Very good at detailing (from sculpting the details to the colouring them)

- Also somewhat good at sewing (he’s very good at human clothes but tiny intricate doll pieces can be somewhat of a struggle -although with years of practise that has improved a lot, nevertheless he usually finds a way to fix it all in the end.)

- Often uses the rerooting technique for hair.

- He likes to meticulously plan and ensure everything he needs is ready before he begins. His sketch book is filled with design after design, which sometimes makes him indecisive in what he wants.

- He struggles to make dolls that can move/switch positions with the types of creations me makes (so he usually doesn’t make them able to, hence statue dolls). When he does want to make a posable one, he’ll usually ask Remus for help.

Remus:

- Prefers to make dolls that are able to be played with.

- Uses ball point dolls, big dolls, and sometimes mannequins.

- Usually he has a gorey style. It can be completely random though, with a lot of mis-match (for example the top half being a fairy Princess while the bottom is deep sea creature with decomposing limbs.)

- Very good at modifications in terms of engineering ways for things to squirt from, voice boxes, lights, etc.

- Very experimental, with most of his inspiration coming from just random things he’s seen and thought of, things he’s found in the trash, or the dark/gross side of nature.

- Uses any technique (and anything) for hair, there is no rhyme or reason to his style.

- He never has a plan to begin with, just jumps into it. He often gets sidetracked (hence why a lot of his creations are mis-matched) and has many half done projects or pieces of dolls laying around.

- He has set up mannequins outside of Virgils door and scared the living hell out of him many times.

The two of them:

- The two work and live together. The top half of the house is split into to sides for their work spaces while the bottom level is for general living.

- They can help to balance out each other’s methodology, with Virgil helping Remus plan ahead for really big projects (particularly the expensive ones) and Remus helping Virgil adapt to work with unfixable mistakes he made, although a lot of the time they let each other do their own thing.

Emo emu Virgil

- Logan and Virgil are both in love and so their ‘dark-side’ versions hold some feelings for each other. Although most of the time when one is turned, the other will calm them down, there are times that both are in that state and when they are they have a complex relationship.

- Wrath’s glow is orange and Paranoia’s is silver (sun and moon vibes?). Paranoia has spidery aspects (the 6 extra legs, eyes and fangs) and the patches on his hoodie turn grey.

- Paranoia likes to try and wrap Wrath up in webs, which only makes him angrier but Paranoia finds it hilarious.

- Their relationship is built on their shared experiences (aka being the darker versions of ‘light sides’) and hating their other part. Still, they annoy each other a lot but have built a mutual respect and will work together most of the time. Although, when they disagree on things they both hold grudges for a long time.

- Play fighting of sorts is common, but they can’t actually hurt each other so most times it turns into a battle of wits or even dancing (which is treated extremely seriously).

- Wrath hates Remus while Paranoia loves him, but Paranoia hates Janus while Wrath has had a few (albeit feeling) moments of agreeing with him.

Roman gets the role and has to act in a new (well new for him, the actual theatre is pretty old) but there is a ghost there that loves to play MCR or Evenescence when the actors are practicing.

At first it’s creepy, then it’s just annoying as the show grows closer. One day Roman decides to investigate and finds a ghostly figure singing. It’s surprisingly enchanting.

Of course after being starstruck his annoyance shows and Roman confronts the ghost who turns out to be some snarky emo in a purple patched hoodie.

On the night of the show, everyone is preparing to improvise if the ghost starts to interfere but nothing happens. After that Roman finds the ghost waiting for him and offers a subtle thank you, disguised amongst nicknames.

- There is a flower field in Romans side of the imagination and sometimes Remus and Virgil will sneak in and just sit and sing together there.

- When they leave there is always wilted flowers or thorns left behind, eventually turning it into more of a gothic garden but even Roman thinks it’s pretty and after a little while he just lets them keep it (though he acts like he’s annoyed at it and just not bothered to fix it).

- After Virgil leaves the others both he and Remus go back separately, often times narrowly missing each other.

- After a while neither returns because it hurts to much and so the wilted flowers fully decay and the thorns grow until it’s impossible to get in but it doesn’t matter because it’s forgotten anyway.

- After a while, they start getting along again and decide to go back to the place only to find it impossible to get into.

I watched the ‘Alone on Valentine’s Day’ video followed by the ‘Flirting with Social Anxiety’ video (cause character development).

And I noticed that in fwsa, Virgil is kinda drawn a little shorter and I thought it was probably due to slouching or positioning but while watching the Valentine’s Day vid, in the end card Romans eyes are angled down and Virgil’s are angled up.

- Virgil wanted to do something to show just how much he really loved the logical side. After much time spent pep taking himself in the mirror, he dropped a poem at Logan’s door. He knew no other side would take it since Logan woke up bright and early and the other sides knew not to start birthday festivities until after he’s had his coffee.

- Logan finds the poem (which Virgil spent a lot of time stopping himself from taking back), and instantly knows who it’s from due to the slightly shaky handwriting.

- Logan waits hopefully for Virgil to come down (since it’s a 50/50 chance of him either being the second up or waking up at midday) but Virgil waits until everyone else is up (definitely not to avoid confrontation and embarrassment).

- Logan knows that Virgil would rather have the conversation privately so he tries to convey his point subtly, unfortunately that is taken by Virgil as pity.

-Both go around the day, Logan reluctantly partaking in the activities and thinking he’s communicated to Virgil that he likes him romantically and Virgil wanting nothing more then to go back to his room and regret every life decision that’s led to this point.

- At the end of the night Logan goes to talk to him and Virgil instantly begins to apologise before Logan is just like ‘so, assuming we are together now, does that mean I may kiss you goodnight?’ And Virgil just stares for a few seconds before it all clicks.

- and yeah, they do chastely kiss goodnight.

Tw: This may be a little gorey and includes a human-Spider molt and kinda modification of that, also fainting and attempted cannibalism is mentioned. I guess technically human taxidermy but not fully. If there are more let me know.

Virgil molts a week before Halloween and so decides to utilise it as Halloween decoration. He stuffs it and sews it, and hangs it from the fan in the living room.

When everyone comes down they all get a fright (except Remus and Janus). Roman screams, Logan is worried as to why Virgil would be hanging from the ceiling (as usually he sits or crawls on it) before realising, and Patton faints. Janus laughs at him and then lightly shakes Patton awake and Remus tries to eat the molt.

Virgil likes to web up areas since the vibrations in the web let’s him know what’s going on around the place, although he respects if a side takes it down.

When a side is upset or being mean to themselves, he’ll add extra webs around their rooms as an attempt to make them feel safer and protected. At first none of them really understand what it means and think it’s just Virgil feeling territorial or something.

After a while though, they start to realise and collect the webs he leaves around the entrances to their rooms the night before he takes them down (cause he likes to keep things tidy and clean). The aim is to keep them so Virgil knows they appreciate his efforts.

Virgil creates flowers where he steps or leans against something. Usually he can control it pretty well but in states of heightened emotions they just start to bloom.

When he’s panicking black and grey plants, mainly roses with large and sharp thorns or vines spread around him like a fence, protecting him but making it difficult for others to help him. Eventually they wither and die quickly before being replaced by larger and stronger versions.

When he’s happy though, those flowers turn to purples (or maybe purple speckled with black dots when some doubts still linger).

After the events of Flirting With Social Anxiety, the Sides just see trails upon trails of flowers coating the whole Mindscape, some even growing along the walls and vines hanging off the ceiling.

At the centre of it all Virgil is happily running around, his hands flapping, flowers blooming from them and in his hair.

On my walk just then I was listening to music and my mind wondered to the new ep and remember that theory that Janus would impersonation Virgil and be REALLY good at it and like ANGST ANGST ANGST
