Greetings! The name is Time Lizzy, or Time as my friends call me. They/Them pronouns. I love to try new things, draw, sing, dance, garden, and I do some witchcraft in my free time. I'm a Hetalia role playing partner if you guys are interested.
• Logan is like. 110% done with Romans shit. always. Roman could have breathed and Logan would be like “gosh. is that necessary?? like do you ever take a break from being dramatic, ever?”
•he also totally has photographic memory (i mainly say this bc in the crofters musical video he says ‘the first time you bought a jar, i remember the day’ and it obvs wasn’t recent yet homeboy remembers the exact day?)
•Logan probably also hates wearing glasses like. he would most definitely find them obnoxious and annoying. they fog up if your face is too hot and you can’t be anywhere near something steaming bc god forbid you need to see.
•gets freckles during the summer
•thinks pluto is a planet and will actually fight anyone who decides to disagree.
•”actually—“
• Roman annoying everybody by deciding they should start a game night! it goes about as well as you could imagine (spoiler: not very well. Logan probably criticizes how incorrect plot points a/o the rules are, Virgil always forgets when his turn is a/o how to properly play, Patton always wins because he’s played them all a million times, and Roman is too dramatic, and leaves before the game is over because he is losing.)
•Roman probably mumbles, which surprised everyone at first. this dramatic ass personality, and he mumbles. it’s just ironic.
• Roman is probably an AMAZING cook. he has a good sense for what foods will need or not need.
•the others probably joke, though, like “it looks good, but is it edible?” “did you poison it?”
•but OH BOY, HE CANNOT BAKE. mainly because he cannot focus enough to follow the recipe (since baking usually has to be exact while cooking can be experimental).
•probably needs reading glasses
•mentally adopts everyone and everything.
• Patton tried to teach Roman how to make bread, once. (he totally almost set the house on fire, and added the yeast in too early, so the bread didn’t rise.)
•Patton is a huge empath. his emotions fluctuate a lot, since the other sides all are unique with how they express themselves. it’s only with Logan when Patton is truly himself.
•Patton most definitely flirts with e v e r y o n e. but discreetly. it’s not til someone looks back on what patton said that they’re like “wait a frikkin minute”
•Pat also definitely thinks he romantically loves anyone who’s relatively nice to him. please just imagine it.
•like, he’s mf talking with one of the sides and he’s like “wow. i think i like ____??” and the next day he’s like “whoops false alarm those were platonic feelings”
•claims he has never been sick. not once. in his entire existence.
•was probably sick like, last week.
•but no one is gonna call him on it.
•him and Virgil are probably close, like i could see them just chilling in the same room for HOURS, and Virgil will just get up and leave while saying “ok see u next time this week”
•it’s like a drug deal, but instead of drugs it’s friendship
•Virgil is not only artistically gifted, he’s also musically gifted. like he is totally the type of people to pick up an instrument and learn it within two hours.
• “uhg ive been trying to learn this song for weeks!!” “here let me try. *frikkin nails it first try*”
•insults people by calling them household items. (dysfunctional washing machine. rusty folding chair. two legged stool.)
•has at least 10 different hoodies. this isn’t even mentioning the other types of sweaters a/o long sleeved clothes he owns.
•turns red really easily. not blushing, though. like he could lean against his hand and he looks like a tomato because his face has warmed up.
•he’s also a body heater. no one will sit with him in the summer bc he’s so h o t, and they probably crowd him in the fall and winter.
•”but Virgil, it’s so cooolddd!!” “i am NOT cuddling with you, Roman.”
• probably hates socks. like the seam in socks probably bugs him, so he just doesn’t wear them. especially with shoes
•nikkitutorials who? bc holy heck is Virgil actually really really good at make up. but mainly on other people.
•he probably doesn’t have a lot of true fears. like he is anxious about A LOT but he isn’t SCARED of a lot. but the things he is scared of is really irrational.
•like ants, or moths.
•and god don’t even get me started on the things Deceit is scared of
•probably like. thunder. not lightning, which is the thing that could hurt him, but thunder. he probably also hates those grate thingies in the ground for draining. like, 13,000 people fall into those every year. that’s a lot of people. and he is not about to become one of those statistical numbers.
•laughs at the stupidest shit. like Daddy Pig from Peppa Pig. his snort. it is so loud like who the heck said you could do that. that’s illegal. (and funny.)
•probs says “do not pass go, do not collect $200” bc he is most definelty extra like that.
•despite him lying a lot, he’s really trust worthy. he would most definitely keep secrets, and i can see the others going to him when things happen.
• the Cool AuntTM
•totes dyslexic. he didn’t find out until someone told him that it wasn’t normal. he found his ways around it, and learned how to adapt.
•also, totally cannot swim. i don’t make the rules, sorry.
BONUS!

•has the sides starbucks orders memorized.
•makes sure the barista spells the sides names wrongs on the cups. like he goes out of his way, and spells the names out incorrectly so the barista spells it wrong.
•it’s mainly bc it does bring the sides some joy. they find it funny and odd. and remy knows that :).
•”i don’t get how they spell it wrong every time.” “right? that’s crazy. so crazy. wow.”
•probably says “wouldn’t you like to know” which annoys Logan (“yes i would, THATS WHY I AM ASKING.”)
•hella smart. could probably outsmart Logan.
•calls everyone “Honey” or “Sweetie”, especially when he’s upset

I’ve arrived with more angst because I like being in pain and I want people to suffer with me
Okay, so yet again, I think that there’s a moment of the Crofters- The Musical, we’re not talking much about.
Remember that Angsty Cut Out Roman that got all of us screaming? Well, I went frame by frame through what happened later and let me tell you- I came up with a very interesting theory but let’s starts from the beginning.
I think at this point we all agree that there’s a serious angst going on in Roman’s character. He’s clearly dealing with something, and I don’t mean only the fact that he didn’t get his own jam but that’s not important here. What is important though is the way Roman says it.
At first it reminded me a little bit of The Office but then I remembered that Ro has already done The Office cut and it looked completely different. So I did some digging and searching inside my head because I just knew that the view of a character talking to himself, being turned around from the rest of the actors reminds me of something. *beep beep beeep*
Bingo! The classical theatre.
Now we all know that Roman is a huge geek. Theatre, musical? That’s his jam. We do know that he’s the one who stands on the stage with Thomas whenever he performs. Roman is always performing with Thomas.
So what if, this time, Roman was the actor of his own play? What if it was a tragedy of a one man?
Look it makes sense, in both tragedy and comedy, the characters tend to do their monologues often on the side of the scene, refering to themselves so that the audience could learn their true feelings are. I think that’s exactly what Roman does it here.
Another point? Even if other actors are on the stage, the very often don’t “hear” or “get” what is the Monologuing Character says on the side. They know that he/she/they talks about something but they can’t “hear” that. And let’s see what Thomas does when Roman is in the middle of his monologue
He looks like he had no idea what was going on. As if he was bringing Roman back in the actual stage.
(let’s skip the fake smile Roman sends here, I don’t feel like crying rn)
Okay, so it looks like Thomas did notice that Roman has been talking to himself on the side, right? Yeah, but you see… his words in no way suggest that he has heard what Roman said. All that he says is:
He only refers to the issue he has been aware of before the cut out Roman did. We all know Thomas (as a character)- I don’t think he would let that just slip. The Angsty Cut Out clearly screams that Roman isn’t alright and I doubt that Thomas would ignore it so plainly. And he didn’t refer to that at all. As if he didn;t hear that quite right.
And now, let’s go back to that title. Crofters- The Musical. It doesn’t say “song” (like in A new year of lying to myself…in a song!!), it’s not just plain Crofters (like in 12 Days of Christmas). The title is Crofters- The Musical. And every musical needs a tragic character with angst monologues and feelings. In this case? In this case it’s Roman. And I think he knows about that.
Headcannon that Roman gives experiences as gifts to the others.
Patton’s birthday? He takes him to his room where he finally gets to see what it’s like to fly on clouds. He’s a little scared of heights, but Roman reminded him he’s in control of the entire experience so he let lose and laughed as he held his hands up, “Hey Roman, look, no hands!”. “That’s very brave of you! If I didn’t know any better I’d say you’re trying to show me up!”
Logan’s having a bad day?
His room conjures him a college class room, and all the students ask him tons of questions on the plots of Sherlock and Doctor Who. He’s never been happier.
Virgil’s anniversary of becoming a member of this little family?
Roman takes him to a black sand beach with a beautiful full moon that shines on the water. The breeze is perfect. Everything is calm and very aesthetically pleasing.
In conclusion, Roman fulfills their wildest wishes as gifts. Please reblog with additions.
Some Thoughts about the “Big Picture”: A Metaphor for Life
Logan: Logan seems to want very much to understand the painting in Thomas’ living room. In fact, he’s asked about it seven times. It seems to frustrate him that it is something he may never fully understand. Consider this as Logan’s approach to life: desperate to understand, even though some things may be beyond him.
Roman: Does not acknowledge the painting at all. Consider how Logan accuses Roman of ignoring reality by fantasizing and dreaming up alternative worlds.
Patton: Appreciates the painting without questions. He seems quite happy just to be looking at it. It’s his transition into talking about making others happy. Patton sees the world in the same way: as a piece of beautiful art that can be appreciated without understanding all of it.
Virgil: Virgil is drawn to the painting by Patton (emotion/morality) and says that he finds the “big picture” calming. Coping with anxiety often means asking “what’s the worst that could happen in the big picture?” or “will this be important to me in five years?” Virgil can be helped by looking at the big picture of life and not focusing so much on the little things.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk where TED stands for Thomas Excellence Daily.
Patton: Virgil, I love you, but why are you always afraid of everything?
Virgil: Because the world is, objectively, terrifying.
Logan: Not true. Terror is a subjective emotion. Objectively speaking, the world is dangerous.
Virgil: Thank you, Logan, that’s helpful.
Logan: You’re welcome. And while terror is subjective, I suppose it isn’t an unreasonable response to the fact that human life has an almost 100% fatality rate.
