Sides Shelves!

Every day this week you get a new side with a new bookshelf of books I think would be in their personal libraries!

Today we have Roman! ❤️📕❤️

(This is only a fraction of the books, I know there could be hundreds more that could work, please let me know what you think he’d put on his bookshelf!)

Leander

Either an orphan or his parents were in the Senobium

Either way, his scars came from them

His high magic potential was found by his parents and the Senobium ‘trained’ him

Which had him isolated and wanting more than what he got

Only really got out due to being charming + hellbent on breaking every rule

So used to hostility he almost can't remember anyone being kind to him without a biting comment

Ais

Ais lowkey doesn't want people coming to the seaspring for a miracle

His dialogue is vague enough to where you’ll miss it

But it's a subtle way of him turning people away

Doesn't happen often but only to those truly desperate

An animal lover all around, particularly fond of creatures many people don’t like

Animals also seem to like him too

Ais made a deal with the Seaspring but he prob resisted the onslaught of the groupmind

Which is a constant mental battle he prob doesn’t like thinking about much, hence fighting and dislike of isolation

Also has the slightest fondness for children

Does not go around approaching them, pre sure most are scared of him

But the brave ones he can't help but smirk at

Doesn’t talk much but lovessss listening

Def has/had a crush on Kuras

Kuras

Kuras has some connection to what happened to Leander and def feels bad about it

Like they have to have some connection, and either Leander doesn't remember correctly or Kuras did something

Was Kuras Leander’s guardian and failed him?

And had him reborn but that got him in trouble??

Or was that wayyyy before he even met Leander

Mhin

Got their sweet tooth cuz of Kuras

They were walking and Kuras gave them some and they fell in love

Learned a lot of what they liked from traveling and Kuras

Looked so awkward and gangly when they were younger

Prob bad at naming things

Vere

This man is a walking disaster

Will actually crash and burn and drag everyone with him

Doesn't like snow cuz fox urges to just plop in there

Or just doesn't like that he fluffs out and it takes the intimidation out

Or he just doesn't like ice on him

Hates pity. Even knowing he needs help, he hates the pity from it

Hi hi! Here ya go <3

They/Them for reader

Virgil:

Special interests are mcr and horror movies

Used to mask around the light sides until one of them was like "dude we're all autistic no one cares." He still does it subconsciously but not as much as before.

MUST have his headphones within reach at all times.

Hates feeling warm, his room is 65⁰ on cool.

Has a purple lava lamp, hes always watching Remus when he comes over to make sure he doesn't try shit.

Logan:

When he's angry, he tries to rationalize his feelings, feels invalidated by said rationalizing, gets even angrier.

Crofters on toast is a same food for him, he eats it for breakfast every morning

Plans everything out, gets upset when plans change last second

Has a fidget cube to stim with

Patton

NEEDS soft things to calm down, his room is full of stuffies

Speaking of, him and Virgil has a jack skellington build a bear and Patton has a Sally one. (Let them be friends!)

Stims by baking! So many sweets around the house

Picky eater gang💪💪 he can try new stuff but it has to be on HIS terms, yk?

Remus

Chews EVERYTHING, he has chewlery but that doesn't stop him from eating table legs. Regularly chews pens until they explode

Rabies pride Remus. (This isn't even a headcanon at this point.)

Also jumps as a stim! Generally big stims

Hyperfixated on JTHM, regularly talks about the JTHM-> gay cartoons pipeline. Also probably about the 9/11 -> Twilight pipeline.

Janus

Like Logan, he gets upset when plans are changed last second.

Gloves help his sensory issues

Probably hyperfixated on phycology at one point, helped Patton with his plushie video.

Sometimes is the "allistic translator" for the others

Roman

Spinterest is Disney (obviously) but I also see him really enjoying Greek drama. Maybe has a book club with Logan/Janus (when they make up)

Also loves Minecraft, helps him destress.

Probably the reason Thomas got diagnosed at some point

Sings/flaps hands/rocks himself to stim.

Like... Imagine this guy who has seventy nine different plans for every occasion, tries to be ten steps ahead of everyone at all times, and almost seems to be reading people’s minds with how clever he is... But if you want to dismantle his elaborate plans you can just tell him that he looks cute in his hat and he doesn’t know where to go from here. 

He spends so much time crafting his image and that entire clever villanous persona, but if you tell him the cape is very nice, he’d probably want to twirl to show it off and be happy that someone has noticed.

SVSr would never happen if Roman just winked at him back at some point.

---

He needs concrete guidelines to work with or he gets overwhelmed

(This comes from Snap by TheAsexualofSpades on ao3; please don’t make me try to link it on mobile as the app will explode.)

As the most likely id, Remus doesn’t really need to cooperate with the others, but as Intrusive Thought he probably does

Like the usual train of thought with the dark sides (their jobs have a physical impact or sense), Remus could function as a drain pipe for repression

If we assume, as is likely, that Janus and Remus together function as most of Thomas’s trauma processing, then we can assume Remus is capable of collecting and working with (I’d assume he plays with them in the Imagination or his room) the other Sides’s repressed experiences and returning them as various modified intrusive thoughts to assist in the relevant side getting their shit together

And then, to mirror Roman a bit as we do love that here, Remus’s classic line “there’s no rhyme or reason to what I do, I just do”

As he functions as base instinct and the manifestation intrusive thought, the line is pretty obvious, but it also fits the less chaotic job

We generally assume Virgil has anxiety and Remus has intrusive thoughts, and many expand on that to various degrees

If we assume Remus not only has intrusive thoughts, but also that his behavior is modified by whatever thought is strongest (which is usually the case in canon and fanon anyway)

Then how is anyone supposed to predict The Duke when his behavior is directly affected by “human” (and human) variables?
