Gay Theory

Without much thought, Thomas would scroll through YouTube and eventually end up at a random animation, animal video, or blooper compilation. However, there would be times where Logan would take control and Thomas would randomly get the idea to look for notifications for the Film Theory channel and lightly scowl due to the lack of the desired notification, bringing Thomas back to randomly scrolling before the teacher went on his own little binge fest.

As Logan had his binge fest on his phone, someone would occasionally pass him and, depending on what was shown on his phone screen, they'd sit next to Logan and watch the video with him. Maybe they would watch a video on overanalyzing cartoons or overanalyzing a more serious movie or even the creations of other YouTubers, but it was always a video from Film Theory. The rest of the fam knew that there were different expressions that Logan would have on his face when watching episodes. It had gotten to the point where they could tell apart a scowl as a result of ridiculous claims expressed from a scowl as a result of envy and disappointment.

One night, Patton sat next to Logan as he was watching the Markiplier episode of Film Theory. He could tell Logan had that scowl of envy and disappointment, and even felt Logan's emotions in his own gut.

"Nothing on us, yet?" Patton asked, knowing full well that was the reason Logan wasn't happy.

"I don't understand. Someone like MatPat ended up interpreting something that mostly consisted of roguery as something completely sinister. We're still a bit stuck," Logan rambled.

"That doesn't mean a bunch of the fanders haven't been smart enough to try to make sense of all of us. Besides, we're still relatively new compared to the combined content of Markiplier," Patton did his best to comfort his hero.

"How do you explain the videos about the Paul brothers and 'Escape the Night'?" Logan asked.

"Relevancy? Though we've been recommended as content for MatPat and Stephanie to react to," Patton brought to his attention.

Before Logan could say anything or go anywhere, Patton gently removed his phone from his grip and did some scrolling of his own. Online, he managed to find clips of MatPat and Stephanie reacting to Thomas's vines that were in some compilations. With every laugh from the couple caused the gay angel and commentary that followed, Logan couldn't help but smile. The teacher was still upset that an idol of his didn't seem to acknowledge himself and the rest of the fam, but he was just glad that what Thomas delivered was at least acknowledged by him.

Logan's routine didn't change too much, but it consisted of more hope that they would be acknowledged by MatPat and less disappointment when there wasn't an upload that targeted their series.

One day, Roman and Patton were playing a game of "Guess Who" when Virgil stomped into the room with clothes that were soaked with water and covered in bubbles.

"Somebody screamed! Who did it?" Virgil proclaimed.

Patton and Roman looked at each other confused before they looked in Virgil's direction.

"We didn't hear anything," Patton answered.

Virgil revealed his broken champagne glass that was dripping with leftover Gatorade.

"It was a high-pitched scream and it shattered my glass without it moving," Virgil explained.

Virgil summoned Deceit and Remus out of laziness and frustration, but before he could demand answers from either of them, Logan ran down the stairs and barely changed his pace as he fell down.

"Woah woah, you're faster than Deceit. What's going on, specs?" Remus asked without noticing the offended expression on the snake's face.

Logan wordlessly showed his phone around to everyone and they started to understand his excitement: There was a YouTube notification of a new Film Theory and it was about analyzing the Sanders Sides and the Thomasphere. Patton hugged Logan due to being so happy for him.

"I guess that was you that screamed?" Virgil asked.

Logan cleared his throat upon hearing the question.

"I apologize for that Virgil, I guess I got a bit overexcited," Logan excused.

Roman chuckled at what was going on and snapped his fingers till the couch consisted of some snacks and the Film Theory channel was shown on TV.

"Since we're all here and it's a special occasion when the nerd gets overexcited, how about we have a viewing party?" Roman suggested.

As the Sides expressed affirmation in their own ways, they made their way to the couch and made themselves comfortable before Logan eagerly pressed the play button on the remote.
