Yes, of course. Thomas posted a new Sanders Sides so of course I have to go write something from it.

And also yes, of course. I did write my thoughts/theories about the video at the bottom. Warning: It's rather long. I like reading other people's theories and such so I figured I'd share my own for if anyone out there is like me.

Obviously, spoilers.

...

"Okayyyy." Virgil placed his headphones back on his ears after Logan sunk out of his room with his retrieved Alice in Wonderland puzzle book.

It had only been a few seconds when Roman showed up in his room as well, and Virgil took off one side of his headphones to hear him better.

"Greetings, friendo..." Roman said awkwardly.

"Yes?" Virgil asked him, wondering what he wanted now.

"I couldn't help but notice that you have some very nifty posters back here..." Roman gestured to the Nightmare Before Christmas posters hanging behind him.

Virgil could tell what he was implying. "Ugh, you probably already own like 101 Disney posters."

"Yeah, I do," Roman conceded before pointing to the posters and starting to sing. "But me and these posters are simply meant to be-"

"You can't have my sick nasty Tim Burton posters!" Virgil cut him off.

"Ugh," Roman started to sink out. "Fine."

Virgil was still overwhelmed by the video they had just filmed: Accepting Anxiety, Thomas had called it. So after two of the other Sides had popped up in his room to talk to him, he was little frustrated when Patton rose up as well. "What!?"

"Hey kiddo, not trying to bother you, just made you a little something for the room," Patton spoke quickly, trying to get away from the spider curtains and out of Virgil's hair as quickly as possible.

Virgil caught the piece of Patton threw at him as Patton started to sink out with a smile. "Hope to see you soon."

Turning to look down at the paper, Virgil opens it to notice that it was a card. "He never really was good at art."

Looking back down at the card, Virgil smiles. He wasn't entirely sure why, but the card felt so important to him despite it having crudely drawn doodles. It truly was starting to feel like maybe the others were understanding him better and starting to truly accept him as a 'good' Side.

A cackle echoes around the room, and Virgil looks around wildly, trying to figure out where it was coming from.

"How cute," a dark figure steps out from a shadow and gives Virgil a wicked smile.

Virgil glares and holds the card behind his back; he not only didn't want the other to see it and mock him for it, but he also wanted to protect it.

"Deceit," Virgil said coldly. "What brings you by?"

The black and yellow character moves around the room acting casual, as if it was normal for him to show up in Virgil's room unannounced. Sadly, it was.

"Just came to see what you were up to..." Deceit sat down on the couch and made himself comfortable.

Virgil made no move to get closer to him. "You and I both know that's a lie."

"Well," Deceit only smiled in response. "I'm really glad I did. So, the others...."

Raising an eyebrow, Deceit left his sentence hanging, and Virgil knew the dishonest Side was hoping for him to reveal information, but Virgil kept quiet. He knew it was best not to argue with Deceit.
