THOMAS: What up, I'm Thomas, this is my vlog, and all other vlogs...
...are just as good in their own right and need to be respected as such.

(intro music) [ CAPTIONS BY @STEVIEBOMBASTIC ]
What is up everybody!
(sigh) Okay, so, today I think I've come upon a very important breakthrough in my life:
I am an indecisive mess!
Actually, I already knew that.
The breakthrough is in possibly WHY I'm a mess,
but to actually see if I'm right, I'm going to have to do a little soul-searching.
So....
Morality!
MORALITY: (sipping) What?
THOMAS: What?
MORALITY: Son, you summoned ME this time!
THOMAS: I'm not your son. Why the pyjamas?
MORALITY: Well, you caught me off guard. Usually it's your pop who pops in on you! (laughs)
THOMAS: Again, I'm not your son. And please change, you're only half of who I need to talk to.
Logic!
LOGIC: (sniffs)
THOMAS: Wow. MORALITY: Nice.
LOGIC: I can explain.
THOMAS: No need, just change.
LOGIC: Done.
MORALITY: Word!
THOMAS: Awesome. Now, I brought you two here because I think we need to address an issue.
LOGIC: What issue? You're totally fine.
MORALITY: Well, I would probably let him finish his thought, Teach.
LOGIC: Well, looking at things objectively, he's fine.
MORALITY: But is it right to just speak over someone, especially our little guy?
LOGIC: Uh, I know him better than anyone, because I know how he works, okay? So, I don't....
MORALITY: Any amount of time is worth spending!
MORALITY: It's not all about what's up here, you've gotta hear the (overlapping). LOGIC: Far be it from me to just try to simplify this problem, all I was trying to do was (overlapping).
THOMAS: Okay, okay, ENOUGH! This is the issue!
Dad Guy, you kind of embody a bit more than just my morality.
You also seem to have my deep emotions and empathy.
Teacher Dude, along with my logical thinking, you also have this extreme interest in how things work,
and efficiency seems to be a priority for you.
So..... don't you think you two kind of work against each other? A lot?
MORALITY: Aww, I wouldn't say that....
LOGIC: No, that doesn't sound accurate.
THOMAS: No? It seems like with any crucial junction in my life,
I am always split between what either of you think is best for me.
My Heart...
...and my Mind.
MORALITY: Well, what about Anxiety? He always seems to get you down.
LOGIC: Or Princey. He literally has dreams that are delusional and highly unrealistic.
THOMAS: No, those are different problems.
You two butt heads so often it exhausts me.
LOGIC: Okay, can you provide us with some examples?
THOMAS: Well...
THOMAS: Hey, what's up?
Moving, huh?
Bet you're calling me for a little assistance. Ummm...
MORALITY: Do it! They're such a good friend, you gotta be a good friend too.
THOMAS: Umm...
LOGIC: Don't do it!
You already have two things going on that day and three the next day. You need optimal sleep and rest.
THOMAS: UHH....
MORALITY: They'd do the same for you.
LOGIC: You don't have the time.
(MORALITY and LOGIC overlapping loudly) THOMAS: UHHHHHH
MORALITY: Okay. We might have been a...tad bit confusing.
LOGIC: I still don't think that's enough data to say--
THOMAS: ALSO,
THOMAS: Look at all these cute dogs!
MORALITY: ADOPT THEM! THOMAS: ...What?
MORALITY: You NEED to adopt them who knows what might happen if you DON'T adopt them
and they NEED a good home!
LOGIC: You are not going to adopt an animal.
THOMAS: Oh? LOGIC: Do you have the time for one, let alone multiple, dogs?
Are you here in this house enough to give it the attention and love that it needs?
MORALITY: (voice cracking) WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT LOVE
LOGIC: APPARENTLY MORE IF YOU IF YOU THINK-- (MORALITY and LOGIC overlapping loudly)
(MORALITY and LOGIC overlapping loudly)
LOGIC: ...Huh.
MORALITY: Okay, you... might actually have a point--
THOMAS: AND,
THOMAS: If I don't straighten up this place, even just a little, all this clutter is gonna keep getting me down!
LOGIC: Throw out that entire stack of papers!
MORALITY: Those are his notes and writings from when he was 13, Logic!
LOGIC: They're useless now, Morality! Do you want him to be a hoarder for the rest of his life?
(MORALITY and LOGIC overlapping loudly)
LOGIC: Okay, okay, we get it.
MORALITY: I had NO IDEA we were doing that! We are so sorry!
THOMAS: I mean, it's completely understandable, you two are just...looking out for me.
The only problem is, like actual parents and teachers sometimes do, you have differing opinions on what the child needs most.
MORALITY: D'aww, does that mean you are-- THOMAS: I'm not your son.
MORALITY: Well...
LOGIC: What can we do to fix this?
THOMAS: The only thing to do:
ALL: Compromise.
THOMAS: Dad Guy. You encourage me to do what's right, and to strive to do the most good in this world that I possibly can.
And I appreciate that. But, a lot of times, I spread myself too thin. I also tend to make others a priority over me, and their feelings a priority over mine.
And many times that's great, it's necessary, but other times, I...need to take time to make myself the priority and make sure I'M doing okay.
MORALITY: Oh, of course! I never wanted you to feel like you couldn't!
THOMAS: And, Teach?
LOGIC: Ah, here we go.
THOMAS: You help me to keep a level head about things. You help me to prioritize and rationalize when I'm feeling overwhelmed, and that is awesome.
But sometimes, doing what's right doesn't serve my own needs. Sometimes, if the situation calls for it, inconveniencing myself a bit in order to help someone else in need is the right thing to do.
LOGIC: Point taken. I have a lot to consider.
MORALITY: So, in the case of helping your friend who is moving, you could have explained your situation...
LOGIC: ...and made it up to them another time...
MORALITY: ...or you coulda cancelled something else...
LOGIC: ...to make time for them!
THOMAS: Nice!
LOGIC: With the dogs, you could have...maybe accommodated adopting one...
MORALITY: ...or share the adoption page to see if anyone else could!
THOMAS: LOVE IT!!! And how about the room cleaning?
MORALITY: Buy a bigger house!
THOMAS: (concerned noise)
LOGIC: ...Yeah, or you could rent a storage space so you wouldn't have to throw [your things] away if you truly couldn't part with them.
MORALITY: Come on though. Bigger house means more dogs!
MORALITY: Am I right?
MORALITY: Am I right? No?
I'm getting worse? I'm sorry.
THOMAS: All good! This is all progress. You'll probably butt heads many more [times] after this, but that's okay!
At the end of the day, there's one thing you both can agree upon. You both
want what's best for me-- MORALITY and LOGIC: ENJOY ONESIE PAJAMAS.
THOMAS: Or. Or that.
LOGIC: I learned so much today!
MORALITY: Thanks for teaching your old man a lesson!
THOMAS: I-- (growls)
Well, I hope you are all able to find a healthy balance in your lives as well and until next time...
...take it easy, guys, gals, and nonbinary pals.
PEACE OUT!
MORALITY: These things are just so soft and secure.
LOGIC: You're very correct.
MORALITY: Always the best for taking a little nap...
LOGIC: Heh. Don't you mean a little CAT nap?
MORALITY: (gasp) ...Did you just make a dad joke?
LOGIC: ....Um. No? I did not not mean to--
MORALITY: I AM SO PROUD
LOGIC: PLEASE don't be proud. Or tell anyone.
MORALITY: (SQUEALS)
