“Deceit tries to replace Morality… fuels Anxiety… silences Logic. But worst is what he does to Roman.
Roman, who remains stubbornly in his room, struggling to find that one good idea (and, just maybe avoiding the others after that argument last week). Who wants nothing to do with Deceit but can’t quite manage to keep him from invading his personal space. Who eventually stops protesting and just tries to ignore him because it’s more effort than it’s worth– and what’s the harm in pretending that someone actually likes what he creates?
Because while Deceit is in opposition to the other sides and the things they represent, he needs Creativity. And as Roman is going to discover, a little self-deception can be far more dangerous than he could possibly imagine.
Isn’t it nice to be needed?”
Inspired by (and with advice from) @ahoardofsides, aka @stainedglasshoard, who also happens to be the amazing and fantastic artist I am paired with for ts-storytime’s Big Bang Fic Challenge! You’ve probably seen their stained glass pieces on tumblr, but if you haven’t— what are you waiting for, go check them out!
I don’t think it’s too spoilery to say this is also inspired by the fic I’m writing for the challenge, titled Suspension of Disbelief. You want villain Deceit? We’ve got villain Deceit. You want Roman angst?? Buckle up and get psyched— August is less than a month and a half away! >:3
