Me standing on the rooftop:

(PS I love reading your stories and posts :D )

 Actually I didn't know about this story, so I looked on Wikipedia and here is the synopsis:

A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting, but the scorpion argues that if it did that, they would both drown. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. The frog lets the scorpion climb on its back and then begins to swim. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: "I couldn't help it. It's in my nature."

And... wow. I didn't expect that, but I like the possible implications for Sanders Sides.

Of course we have to pretend Orange is Wrath and his animal is a scorpion. But that would shed a special light on him and on his relationship with others sides - especially Patton.

The last line would show a sort of resignation, from Orange. He's a destructive side, he knows that and he can't help but be who he is, just like Virgil can't stop being Anxiety. He knows his behaviour could harm others and he knows his behaviour could harm himself. Just like the scorpions drowned, Orange might be affected by the consequences of his own behaviour.

Still, he does it. He acts the same way, even if it's hurtful, because it's his nature.

Again, that reminds me of Virgil A LOT. Virgil can't stop being who he is, even if he's harsh and dark. Even if his behavior ends up hurting Thomas and other sides - like Patton. Being Anxiety is his nature and he can't help it.

Hey guess who actually wrote something

Okay, so maybe Mondo arguing with Byakuya so often wasn’t out of hate, but at his request so their class didn’t suspect that they were dating.

When they’re alone, they’re not nearly as critical of each other; in fact, they’ll trade compliments often enough for it to become a habit.

Byakuya was one of the first people to learn about Daiya, since Mondo only tells people he trusts. He expected Byakuya to have some kind of comment on it, but he didn’t say anything.

Even when Mondo offers, Byakuya absolutely refuses to ride on his motorcycle. Mondo still asks every time, to the point where it’s become a bit of an inside joke with them.
