#pintroverts

he doesn't exactly know about the sides, but he has vague concepts of emotions, colors, and tastes that Thomas radiates that seems so him but so different from each other at the same time

and maybe that's why he was drawn to him in the first place, cause everything he emits is just so INTERESTING and NEW in a way only he's able to see, TRULY see (and taste, and hear, and feel, etc etc)

I could absolutely see him being SUCH a mystery and muse for him, You think his jokes are fresh laundry and bubble water? sorry buddy it's sea salt and cinnamon now. Sometimes he's sunflowers and in the next moment he's light rain hitting the ground in its worried pitter patter leading into calm blues and streams of thought finally resting in honey crisp and golden delicious.

I have so many thoughts about this but ironically I can't convey them in writing and I feel like drawing it would be the only way to properly convey what I'm talking about is through drawing it but maybe not even that's enough

anyway-

Post in r/Ghosts: I think my boyfriends apartment is haunted, help?

u/pintroverted Hi, all. Long time lurker, first time poster here, so excuse any incorrect formatting — also, feel free to redirect me to a more appropriate sub if this isn’t the right place to post about this. But I’m starting to get a little… freaked out, and I just wanted some advice. And sorry if I make any spelling mistakes, I’m typing this on my phone whilst sitting on the floor of the closet.

Or, Nico is starting to notice something strange going on in Thomas' apartment, and is convinced the house is haunted. He turns to Reddit for advice. Things just keep getting weirder. Eventually, he finds out the truth, and it's not what he expected.

pintroverts as bubble pins… is this anything? (@jelly-glass ask and you shall receive)

So Thomas invites Nico over to watch tv and all the sides are chilling around them watching too

I’m not sure what they ended up watching, but based on everyone’s disturbed reactions think like happy tree friends

(Which led to a funny scene)

Patton: I don’t think we should have watched that

Janus: 😳…you do?

(Just it was funny Janus was also disturbed but pretending there wasn’t an issue)

Anyway it doesn’t really matter because Thomas and Nico have been chatting the whole time

But Nico has scales? And a bowler hat? And a cape and gloves??? Why’s our Mr. Flores dressed like our favorite little snake boy?

Apparently Thomas found out that Nico’s middle name is Janus and the coincidence is making it impossible to not see Nico as Janus

So now Thomas is reeling because the sides are fictional, how does he explain that he now he can’t not picture his boyfriend as one of his sides

Anyways this gives us a good look into how different people see themselves differently and no one’s mind is the same, Nico’s personality traits are divided differently (traits that weren’t personified for Thomas are for him or traits that were embodied by one side become two for Nico and vice versa) and he doesn’t necessarily consider the same ones negative or problematic as Thomas does. (That’s not to say Nico doesn’t have anything comparable to dark sides, he’s not 100% at peace with himself he just has different issues)
