#accepting morality

i finally realized that my old accepting morality au made literally no sense so i decided to tweak it a bit!!

in this new version of the au, patton, instead of encompassing both morality and emotion, is just emotion. his side name would be sentimentality

instead, thomas’ morals become a facet of logan, who, in this au, is justice (which i might change later on, but anyay)

i’m not sure what to call the new version of this au. maybe just accepting sentimenality for now

lmk what you guys think!

An interesting idea I like to explore is how Patton would act if he grew to be as accepted by the others as Virgil did. If Patton followed in Virgil's footsteps and let go of most of his insecurities, curing himself of his impostor syndrome, he wouldn't shift into acting like canon Patton.

Don't get me wrong; he'd still be really sweet! Just not as much as canon Patton. Additionally, he'd have a completely different vibe. Due to his experiences, he wouldn't be nearly as naive as canon Patton seems to be. He'd give off a chill vibe. He'd give off the impression that he's comfortable with himself. I don't know why, but I feel like he'd be the type to (affectionately) make small insulting jabs at people he's close to as jokes.

Sadly, though, his "inner-child" aspect wouldn't really be as strong as it is with canon Patton. It'd definitely still be there, but it wouldn't be as prominent. Like... Imagine if Remy cared a lot more. That's how he'd act.

anyway

at first, nobody even knew that patton was morality. well, he himself did, and,,, so did logan for some reason. something about being the smart one

so in a weird twist, logan ended up being the only one who remotely respected patton. and eventually, he's the one who finally speaks up & tells the others what patton's supposed to be and how useful he really is to thomas.

none of the changes i made to the canon storyline really,, made sense i guess. they kinda feel like they were just randomly thought up for the sake of 1) making patton as miserable as possible & 2) logicality

i'm super proud of the new one though
