Dealing with Intrusive Thoughts Page #5

Episode #28
Synopsis: Sometimes, the most troubling issues we face are ones we’re too frightened or hesitant to talk about with others. In this episode, Thomas deals with some troubling thoughts from the night before, and it has the Sides at odds with how to address the situation, if at all. And it doesn’t help that a new force is bringing all of this forbidden thinking about.

[Virgil]:
Good save.

[Patton]:
who lived in a con-, condominium! Okay, Logan, has it been a minute yet?

[Logan]:
Not even close. But, you did exactly what I needed you to do.

[Patton]:
*gasps* Mm! ♪ Patton did a real good job. ♪

[Duke]:
You know, you took some creative liberties. But I give you my blessing!

[Logan]:
In Wegner's experiments, subjects were asked to speak about whatever they wanted. With only one caveat: They were not allowed to think about a white bear. Despite that rule, according to Wegner, subjects mentioned the bear about once per minute.

[Thomas]:
*chuckles* Okay, so I can't stop him! *laughs* Awesome news!

[Duke]:
*clapping* It is, isn't it?!

[Logan]:
But-

[Thomas]:
But either way, you are NOT Creativity!

[Patton]:
Yeah. That is the brave, [music starts playing] handsome, unbeatable Roman!

[Roman]:
*mumbling* No, mommy, I don't want the mashed potatoes.

[Thomas]:
Creativity is about butterflies and- magic. That's not you! You're-

[Duke]:
Stinky?!?

[Thomas]:
Scary...

[Duke]:
*gasps* Me? Scary?! No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That sounds like a YOU problem. Or a HIM problem.

[Logan]:
Thomas, like it or not, the Duke does encompass a portion of your imagination.

[Patton]:
Imaginative sure is a- a kind word for him.

[Duke]:
I agree! How about... DEMENTED?

[Virgil]:
Why are you defending him?

[Logan]:
I'm... not. I'm just trying to be intellectually honest with Thomas.

[Duke]:
Ehh, sounds like bulls**t, this dork's Deceit in disguise!

[Patton]:
NO!

[Thomas]:
WHAT? Again?! Deceit, SHOW YOURSELF!

[Logan]:
N-no, it's, um... It's actually me.

[Duke]:
*chuckles* I knew that! I don't know if you guys can tell, but I'm a little silly.

[Virgil]:
Then why are you lying?

[Logan]:
*scoffs* Lying?

[Virgil]:
You just said the Duke is Thomas' imagination.

[Patton]:
Yeah! Unlike a certain... potty-mouth in this room, imagination is good!

[Duke]:
Did you guys know that "dork' means whale penis? I called Logan a whale penis is what I'm saying.

[Logan]:
Thomas, you have to understand that life is not so... black and white, as they say.

[Thomas]:
B-b-but- the Duke and the Prince literally wear the black and the white!

[Logan]:
Yes, but they're YOUR sides. That's how YOU see them.

[Duke]:
(distorted, as Joan) That's not the only way he sees me!

[Thomas]:
Gahh! Please! Leave Joan out of this.

[Duke]:
(undistorted, still as Joan) Oh! What's that?

[Thomas]:
That- w- is something Joan would do. Why would I even have TWO Creativities, anyway? Why isn't Roman all-encompassing?

[Logan]:
Because of your view of creativity and imagination as a purely good force. At a young age, you filed away products of your imagination as either welcome or forbidden. This led to the development of two separate sides of your creativity.
