Many times, we find ourselves with feelings we don't quite understand or have difficulty processing. A lot of those feelings can be worked out with the right kind of critical thinking. In this video, Thomas has been feeling bad and doesn't quite know why. The Sides are pointing fingers and there's no end in sight. It's time to solve the problem by approaching it from a new angle!
It's easy to look back on our past selves and shudder at who we once were. Likewise, it's very easy for people to look at us and tell us what we're passionate about here and now is just a passing phase and it's inconsequential. But different phases in our life mean so much more. This Christmas, Virgil deals with a very similar problem as he attempts to keep the spirit of Halloween going well into December!
A lot of questions get asked about the different aspects of my personality, so I figured who better to answer them than them?? Hope you all enjoy this fun video!!
There are so many moments in our lives where we’re faced between serving ourselves or serving others, and many times, to get what we want, we may tend towards deception to achieve it. In this video, Deceit returns and presents his case for why we shouldn’t inhibit these tendencies, and Thomas has a conflict of conscience!
At long last, the day is here. Thomas was torn between going to a callback and potentially fulfilling his dream of being a part of a huge cinematic project, or going to two of his best friends’ wedding to be there for them and support them. And, even though, he’s sure he made the right choice, something feels off. After all is said and done, is there something to be said for putting others before yourself?
So many amazing artistic things were inspired by the Sanders Sides, but one thing that I thought would be very cool for myself to indulge were makeup routines all inspired by Logic, Creativity, Anxiety, and Morality themselves!! Who better to help make this happen than the icomparable Ben J. Pierce!!!! So happy to be doing another video with this amazing dude, and I hope you enjoy the makeovers!!
What to do when anxiety has a hold and you just can't let... it... leave? Obviously, I deal with that quite a bit, and this evening, I turn to my number one distraction from the plagues of life: movies! My Sides are mostly on board with this... mostly. Are distractions like these helpful in anxiety-ridden situations like these?
In this episode, Thomas is out and about, and when he spots a cute guy, he's conflicted on whether or not he should approach. And, /if/ he were to approach... how? We hope that you enjoy this video, and we look forward to eventually bringing this animatic to life for everyone, Patron or non-Patron alike, to enjoy!! I have to give a GARGANTUAN & TITANIC amount of appreciation to my partner in crime, Joan, who helped direct me and the other actors. They also co-wrote, voice acted, adapted art, helped edit, creatively directed a BUNCH of other aspects of this video AND the direction of the Patreon page, and, like, SO much more... I am so lucky to have them for these stories that we get to create...
It’s been a difficult time for Thomas as of late, and after an especially rough night of insecurity, Thomas made a deal with Logan to get his life in order! But it’s not going to be that easy for him to shake off all the thoughts and anxieties going through his head, and Remus is pulling out all the stops, attempting to ensnare Thomas in stronger intrusive thoughts than ever. Are all of these thoughts random? Or do they all have to do with… one thing in particular?
A lot of you have reached out to me telling me to give some of the Sides a freakin break... and today, some of them get just that, in only the way other Sides can give it to them! Hope you enjoy this little skit!!
Wanted to create what a trailer for my series, Sanders Sides, would look like if it was directed by Wes Anderson. Et voila! Take a look…
A lovely fall tribute by a snakey man who has a surprising taste for the season... Hope you all enjoyed this fun cover of "Into the Unknown" from the AMAZING series, Over the Garden Wall! It was a ton of fun to sing!!
Stuffed animals... does there need to be a time in our lives when we need to let them go their own separate way and we go ours? Logan seems to think so. But Patton is not about to let it go down like that so easily. And this time, he's coming with backup. In this video, I explored what benefits there may be to owning a plushy, regardless of the age of the person, and I wasn't expecting to find what I found. Hope you enjoy!
It is hard to believe that I first made a Sanders Sides video over five years ago… Back then, I NEVER would have imagined the videos would evolve into what they have. And not only was the character of Thomas that I was playing evolving and learning, the real me behind the camera was as well. All the research into mental health and philosophy… all the late nights and early mornings with dear friends… all the pushing ourselves to improve our writing and acting… it’s been an incredible journey. And we were definitely pushed to keep going because of the incredible support and love YOU all have given to these characters and to this series. So, it made the most sense that, for this video, we reached out to many of you to help celebrate this landmark in a fun anniversary special. I hope you enjoy it… much like I can’t wait to see how these characters will evolve and grow in the time to come, I can’t wait to see how I will evolve as well.
Marketing can be a big ‘ole mix and mess of different ideas and tactics, and the Sides have VERY different approaches and tastes when it comes to the art of commercials. So how do they hash this problem out? They make their own, of course! Who knows what these ideas might lead to? (I appreciate being let known that “infodump” is a trait associated with people with ADHD and autism and I am so sorry for the offense I’ve caused for its inclusion in the latest video. The context of that moment, among other moments between Roman and Logan in the series, was the paralleling of myself sometimes being critical of myself for doing the exact same thing in real life. I’m pretty renown for over-explaining and, even when my friends say it’s okay, I still find myself apologizing for it. However, I had no idea the term was offensive to some, which is something I needed to learn. For whatever it’s worth, I love that trait in regards to Logan, and we were narratively depicting Roman to be in the...)
I figured it was time to refresh the intro to Sanders Sides episodes. I also have been watching a lot of anime recently. This was the ultimate result. I wanna give a huge thank you to everyone who helped make this video possible. This was actually an idea I thought about doing since far back as 2017, and I had SO much fun finally making it happen! First of all, I'm gonna start right out the gate with the MVP of this project, Colleen Kelly, who absolutely killed the editiing of this video! Colleen also made a fun anime intro for her own channel, which helped offer some inspiration for moments in this intro! She also contributed many popular anime intros to help inspire moments in this video! Definitely check her channel out!
