#exploring nostalgia

I keep coming across things I hadn't ever really thought much about that are standing out to me now that I've seen the more recent ones a few times through.

In Moving On Part 1 there's this scene I never really gave much thought to because it just confused me (and it goes by pretty quick):

Roman: And what better way to bring people together than by relating to one another's nostalgic memories?

Roman [to Virgil]: Say, that's a good idea for bringing together you and–

Virgil: Don't.

Roman, awkwardly: asdfghjkl it's called a JOKE... dude... have you ever heard if it? I mean–

And later...

Roman [to Virgil]: Say, what about a scrapbook, filled with all the good times with–

Virgil, forcefully: No.

Roman, even more awkwardly: LOOK UP THE WORD "JOKE"... IN THE DICTIONARY... JACK SMELLINGTON

Only now have I realized it's pretty obvious he's teasing Virgil about his past relationship with Deceit (or another side).

-You know the drill joke finally happened

-Virgil is actually corralling them for once this is new

-Don’t really understand the whole Guys and Dolls thing soooo that confused me

-Logan is frustrated about the nostalgic induced lack of productivity

-Logicality moment is just an excuse for Logan to call our Patton’s cat onesie

-Roman having creepy “joking” ideas

-Virgil having to redirect the group so many times

-Patton wants more Harry Potter (Don’t we all)

-Puns feat. crying

-The positivity of Nostalgia and Roman is defensive of his “jokes”

-Virgil and Patton being cautious of nostalgia

-Virgil and Patton are doubtful of things getting better (I WANNA GIVE THEM HUGS) and Logan is insightful

-Peer Pressure (Self Pressure?) on visiting Patton’s room

-ngl Patton’s room makes me feel better about my rooms messiness

-also

-THAT ROOM IS SO PRETTY WITH THE CURTAINS AND THE PICTURES AND THE POETRY AND JUST I NEED TO WRITE ABOUT THIS ROOM

-Patton and Roman on overload

-Logan is trying to bring back the original point

-VIRGIL IS WHAT INSPIRED ROMAN TO CREATE WORLDS WHERE THINGS MADE SINCE AND IF THATS NOT PRINCIXIETY I DONT KNOW WHAT IS

-Virgil becomes oddly quiet

-Patton is of no help as he is in full Nostalgia mode (do their rooms overly affect them and the shared mindspace is better for them?)

-Logan realizes that Nostalgia overloads Anxiety

-LOGAN GETS WORRIED ABOUT VIRGIL

-THOMAS IS WORRIED ABOUT VIRGIL

-also

-WHEN VIRGIL SAYS NO ITS SO STRAINED AND STUTTERED AND HE HAS THE HEAVY ECHO FROM HIS ROOM AND JUST SOMEONE LET VIRGIL LEAVE HE IS BEING VERY AFFECTED

-Logan tried to help, Roman wanted to reminisce on Broadway, Patton on old Photos

-LOGAN DUCKED OUT

-HE JUST LEAVES

-AND ROMAN JUST TALKS ABOUT LOST SEASON 5
