Warning: Soft(ish) Deceit, Unsympth Patton, Unsympth Logan, Aggressive Virgil

"N-No!" Roman jumped in front of Deceit, blocking him from Logan. "I can't let you do that, Logan."

"I get it he's you're precious boyfriend, but this experiment is important. He will be fine."

"Logan, you are cutting into him while fully conscious. How the HELL is he gonna be okay!?"

Patton grabbed Roman gently by the arm. "Roman, you have to trust him."

"Trust. Logan. Do you HEAR how dumb that sounds?"

Patton pulled Roman away, raising his hand.

"Wh- Wait. Patton, wait, please, I--"

Before he felt the hit, there was a thud, and then a yelp. Slowly opening his eyes, Deceit had caught Patton's wrist, nails digging deep into the flesh and tissue. "Don't touch my boyfriend, or I'll rip each of your fingernails off," he snapped, voice almost demonic in nature. He almost seemed to push him away, Logan having been knocked unconscious on the floor.

Deceit sighed gently, scooping Roman into his many arms, chuckling a bit. "It's alright, Roman. I'm okay. We should get out of here. My room or yours?"

sure thing!!! the only reason i didn’t do v is because i wasn’t sure how to make him a separate entity from vergil with separate interests, i have nothing against him at all lmao, but… here i go!!!

so, all in all, similar to vergil, but… kind of edgier

still a reader, and a reader of poetry, but not quite as… formal, i guess??? as vergil 

physical activity? he doesn’t know her

obviously he still likes william blake and john donne and the english romantics, but he also likes more modern poetry. here’s a non-exhaustive list of some of his faves:

keats!!! byron!!!

anne bradstreet

edgar allan poe, duh

very much a walt whitman fan

e.e. cummings

also a fan of the confessional poets–sylvia plath in particular, anne sexton, john berryman and the dream songs 

t.s. eliot. the love song of j. alfred prufrock was LIFECHANGING, as was the waste land. also fuck andrew lloyd webber for making cats

john ashbery, elizabeth bishop, louise gluck, octavio paz, alejandra pizarnik, anna akhmatova, maria tsvetaeva

conrad aiken was a very big influence on him–romantic enough thematically, (relatively) modern in diction, a symbolist, whatta man

of all the boys, probably the one most likely to go into academia as a career??? idk why–he seems like the type who loves to get into debates about his faves. also he’s physically suited for nothing else 

before we go any further: beat poetry is worthless why does anyone like bukowski. allen ginsberg and howl can stay but they’re on thin fucking ice

v is more into modern fiction than vergil is, and is also more into lit theory

house. of. fucking. leaves. house of leaves!!!

he’s also the most into science fiction and weird fiction, out of all the boys

lovecraft was problematic as hell but damn the man could write some spooky shit

has mixed feelings about postmodernism, but does like some works that fall under its umbrella

very interested in art, and especially tattoos as an art form

has an instagram specifically to follow several tattoo artists that he admires 

he’s overall more on the grid than vergil, or any of the boys, really

watches his movies critically. it is critical you understand this about him.

don’t take him to the theater with you. it’s no fun to drive home with him and listen to him critique the cinematography, the plot, etc. if you want to actually enjoy your movie, go by yourself.

it’s his opinion that anything worth doing or making is worth doing right, which is why he’s so critical

obviously, he’s right all the time lmao

like dante, he’s into folklore and fables

has a sick and twisted relationship with psychoanalytic theory–it’s like a car wreck, he just can’t look away

fuck freud

that’s his most recent tattoo: “fuck freud”
