I Thought To Myself Earlier Today, “What Is The Percent Of Moaning In Destroya? Is It Really 50% Like

I thought to myself earlier today, “What is the percent of moaning in Destroya? Is it really 50% like people joke? Or is it exaggerated?” So I did the math.

Destroya is 4:33 minutes long. Out of all of that, 28 seconds in total give or take, is moaning. If we convert the 4 minutes into seconds then we get 240 plus the extra 33, so 273 seconds of the song.

Next is the simple, how to get percentage math of finding the change, (bigger number - smaller number) and deciding it by the original number (in this case it would be 273) and dividing that will give us 90% (0.8974359 ect.) which is the number of non-moaning. Which means 10% of Destroya is moaning.

Now you know this useless information. Go share it with friends or family or something. Someone can check the math for me but I think I’m close. Have a good day and let’s hope they tour in America soon :,)

how to write the sanders sides

an incomplete reference

i used this post by @suibianbichen and this post by @coconut-cluster as a reference, thank y'all for a) making them and b) inspiring me to make this!!

this is based on my observations from the series, interpretations differ and that's okay!! if you have something to add, feel free to let me know :D

Virgil

rarely dominant in conversation

communicates easily (occasionally non-verbally) with logan; struggles with roman (speech overlaps, roman dominates), patton (tries, but often overwhelmed); cuts communication with janus (ignores, cuts off), remus (doesn't engage)

"oh, for crying out loud"

very thoughtful speech, often weighted, pauses between words

struggles to get words out when anxious

either flat or urgent tone

very good at understanding non-verbal communication

bites thumb

messes with clothes when anxious/uncomfortable

will make up nicknames

small gestures with one hand while looking for words

two-fingered salute!!

barely uses visual metaphors, pulling on brief pop culture/meme references instead

does not like to talk about himself

mutter, snap, grumble, grimace, growl, tense, grit teeth, hesitate

Logan

often dominates conversation

communicates easily with virgil; struggles with patton (disregards, conversational styles clash); clashes with roman (argue, roman dominates, cooperation unintentional/non-existent); cuts communication with remus (disregards); insufficient data surrounding logan/janus

less impulse control than we give him credit for (throws stuff A Lot without thinking)

confident in his knowledge

common gestures: raises eyebrow, adjusts glasses, furrows brow

goes silent when interrupted or stutters massively (easy to throw off his rhythm)

very clear speech, sure in what to say before he says it

becomes barely more urgent when frustrated, struggles with expressing anger in a healthy manner so it seems to come "from nowhere" when he reacts explosively

struggles to express emotions

Does Not Sugarcoat (states positives and negatives side-by-side when only one is appropriate) -> comes off as harsh while interpreting others as idealistic, avoidant, secretive

don't just pull out a thesaurus for his dialogue; he doesn't speak outside the realm of regular understanding, just a little more complex

rarely uses visual metaphors, quotes sources instead, states facts clearly -> relation to topic occasionally unclear to others

unempathetic

(use few dialogue tags)

sigh, nod, correct, start, huff, pause, frown

Patton

dominates conversations when pressed to (often by thomas)

communicates easily with roman (clown-to-clown communication, Brain Go Fast and they keep up with each other), janus (often opposing viewpoints but similar communication); struggles with virgil (tries, but often ends up overwhelming), logan (emotional/heavily metaphorical style clashes with logan, often disregarded); no communication with remus (distracts from, takes too seriously, intimidated by)

not as soft as fanon pat, rather quirky -> a bit random

clumsy, also in gesturing

Does Not want to talk about his feelings but will immediately take to others'

Brain Go Fast from topic to topic -> fast speech

very willing to change, will play some follow-the-leader if he thinks it'll help

always believes he's at least a little in the wrong

that super strained smile he does when he wants to Move On Now

metaphors!! weaves topics together to make them more relatable/understandable to the individual, gets a bit carried away with them

impulsive when comfortable in a situation

puns!!

easily overwhelmed

struggles with words, keeps speech light, externalises feelings

highly empathetic

try, smile, chastise, insist, hesitate, nod, shout

Roman

consistently dominates conversations

communicates easily with patton (clown-to-clown communication, similar associations/can easily follow thought highways); struggles with virgil (often speaks over, sensitive to anxiety); clashes with logan (nicknames, speaks over, talks past Entirely); non-communication with janus (is manipulated/flattered or clearly antagonises); hostile towards remus (insufficient interaction)

he is So Extra

rhymes!! and yells!! and gestures holy fuck where do i just get a masterlist of all the roman stuff roman does

someone said his speech is somewhere between a medieval prince and frat boy and yeah that works

if anyone figures out the secret to roman dialogue please tell me i'm begging you

confident in his opinion until it's unmistakably disproven -> will argue until the very end

Brain Go Fast

no impulse control -> says really weird things

speaks a lot and very fast, metaphors are grandiose and sometimes miss the point a little

parallel: patton (occasionally) notices when metaphors get away from him, roman doesn't (corn vs. feral cats)

associations with pop culture (especially disney), mythology, etc

when he's uncomfortable he does a sorta half-smile and looks away

Really Easily Startled

not super empathetic

sing, grin/beam/smile, seethe, falter, stutter/stammer, cheer

Remus

consistently dominates conversations

insufficient data surrounding remus/janus and remus/roman; does not communicate with the other sides (disregards, brushes off, threatens, speaks over)

takes parts of what others say and adds onto own point (without speaking to them)

Brain Go Fast

constant need to be the loudest presence in a room (reacts to everything he can)

gestures are quick, seem controlled (if impulsive)

no impulse control -> says Anything that comes to mind

quickly desperate when ignored

tends to throw out fractures of ideas, barely/not elaborating on thought process

sing-songy, shrill tone

playful/childish in a kinda creepy way

there's not a lot to say about him because he's barely present

no (apparent) empathy

jeer, grin, pout, wink, wave, snarl, shriek, sing

Janus

purposefully dominates conversations: does this subtly (steers/takes over topic more than speech)

communicates easily with patton (opposing viewpoints but similar communication style); unequal communication with roman (manipulates, flatters, purposefully misunderstands, abuses weaknesses); non-communication with virgil (virgil ignores, cuts off, argues); insufficient data surrounding janus/logan and janus/remus

flat speech (seems sarcastic)

uses sources, simple metaphors/examples to explain points

small gestures, always seem intentional (performative)

acts superior, condescending

short fuse

struggles to adjust to others' points of view

messes with/looks at gloves(/hands) a lot

mostly calm/honeyed tone

feigns innocence sarcastically when attacked for anything

low empathy, high sympathy for others (knows, but doesn't feel what others feel)

smirk, hiss, coo, deadpan, sneer, grimace, sigh

like i said, this is an incomplete reference—feel free to add on! my general recommendation for writing any fanfiction, really, is to rewatch some of the source material to get a feeling for the character voices (videos i'd recommend for this: lntao, dwit, svs:r)

hope this helps someone!!
