Have Janus too. As a treat (rat man!: coming soon)

Yk what

*makes all the light sides and redesigns my virgil & Roman*

Nice

... Can I offer you some suggestions, @scribblesun?

Janus has hammerspace in both his hat and capelet.

Virgil has super speed, leaving puffs of smoke behind him (this might also be an abused power as he has stolen from Janus and Logan in the main series)

Roman & Remus have physical/visible thought bubbles and can interact with them (and pull things out of them)

Patton moves in the rubberhose animation style (it's also kinda fun but creepy imagining Remus to do the same)

Logan can think and speak at super quickly, and seems to make lots of (good and well thought out) assumptions but is always right

And going of the theory that, yet to be revealed, Orange is the embodiment of rage; he would would be the one to have the steaming fire coming from his face based on his emotions (although I also like imagining Logan also having it, but in more of a malfunctioning robot way when confused)

Hammerspace: where an object comes from/goes when a cartoon character pulls out impossible objects from nowhere (copied from previous post)

Rubberhose: the older black & white animation style in which characters move without discernable bones, making them super bendy

Added note in case of confusion, feel free to ignore all below:

I am going to add this note here because I feel a little bad about it and just putting the first vague idea down, I had no idea what to give Logan.

I do still like the idea but I don't know if I described it very well; it was supposed to be like that (anime?) trope when a character is just so stupidly intelligent that it hurts, especially when the answers are so confusing that no human could be expected to make them. Purposefully exaggerated example; Akechi Touma from 'The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.'

Janus (in the incorrect quotes series) tucked away the stolen credit card of Virgil into his capelet and pulled out a knife from the same capelet.

This could mean two things : If someone were to compliment it, he'd respond with a "thanks, it has pockets" Or Janus has a hammerspace stored in/hidden by his capelet

I am obsessed with both options

Here’s all the sides in some cute Lolita dresses!

The original prompt was by @thenextyellowfish I hope you like it!

the second fanon Virgil: *hasn’t showered in six months, and hasn’t slept in eight weeks*

Canon Virgil: why do you look like you haven’t slept in seven weeks and haven’t showered in a month.

Fanon Virgil: cause I haven’t.

The Sides are lost. They find themselfes in a familiar and yet unknown place.

They will soon find someone dark. And someone far too shiny and bright… Too innocent.

The Sides meet…

their fanon-selfes

Shenanigans in the Sanders Household

Inktober Day 23: Booger

Friendly reminder that they are all dorks and I would die for them

I’m a huge fan of Thomas Sanders and Sanders Sides. While Janus isn’t actually my favorite side, he’s such an interesting character that I had to draw him 🐍💚

Hero

The face looks pretty weird for my style, but that’s fine

Masterpost

I made this a while after pride month and finally decided to post it! Don’t mind me making my faves say aspec rights. I also decided to add plushies of the others because why not! 💜🤍🖤

If you can’t tell: Lion= Roman, Owl= Logan, disturbing looking frog= Patton, spider= Virgil, snake= ...Thomas and finally Octupus= Remus 💚🤍🖤

So I got into the try guy’s again during quarantine

@thatsthat24

I made this last year and forgot to post it. But worry not, here it finally is; the biggest crime against humanity!

Hey logan/Janus fans, you wanna see a magic trick?

I call this one "double your therapy sessions"

TA DAAAAA

Further Sanders Sides Thoughts

Im getting the sense everyone's been hating their jobs recently, dont you?

some fun reasons:

Janus is shitty at citing sources that are reliable and up-to-date and no one listens to him cuz they think hes lying all the time

Logan's literally the voice of reason and hes not being listened to cuz feelings

Roman just gave up on his dream come true because

Patton is having a midlife crisis because his job just became a thousand times more difficult cuz Thomas is growing up

Remus well, most people still jsut dont like him, do they? and logan seems to be the only one (aside from maybe Janus because janus knows already) whos starting to see his role in helping Thomas

Virgil's fears and past grievances are stopping him from listening to the dark sides' points unbiased and openminded because they do make some DELICIOUS points

(gaining sentience is the biggest regret they all have, as so helpfully pointed out by Virgil in the review ep)

Sanders Sides Character Recaps and Fortune Telling, what fun

let me start by saying I have suddenly been thrown back on the Fander train without my consent and this is the result of that. its a doozy, but if anyone wishes to discuss further id be delighted. so:

Virgil: came a long way, accepting being accepted, he's still dealing with the guilt of his past i spose. getting more familiar with everyone, him and logan are cute (platonically). Of course as Anxiety, he still struggles with lying (because we get nervous when we think about getting found out) and intrusive thoughts (what if im a bad person) but as a person(?) hes learning to come to terms with that, well on his way with a few crises coming his way, theres that whole thing with saying Paranoid to him, hope we face that. I see self discovery and good things coming his way, a win for all you virgil fans!

Roman: clearly, getting pretty emotionally beat, yknow, sides with Janus to be shot down, goes against Janus to be shot down again, significantly lacking in wins recently, you wonder abt his self esteem. Still doing his job great, which seems to be the only thing hes got going for him which is concerning. in the You vs Yourself vid hes very unsure about his moral views because he recognizes hes not Morality and when he proposes arguments they are based on endgoal, just like hes usually been as Passion, creativity, career drive, you might say? I dont see his arc being addressed in his near future, but I'm sure it will come to that. I see dark times before his good times roll, hang in there Roman fans, he'll get his moment.

Patton: Hes really been going through it, hasnt he. I mean, recently he just found out there was so much more complications to his job that he wasnt prepared to handle and to be faced with it all at once must be really challenging, especially when everyone is expecting results from him and he doesnt even know what to do and theyre all judging his decisions when hes just trying his best with all these new factors to consider with his job as Morality. Its easier for him to come to terms with Janus as deceit than Remus because he can easily see how lying can be good (even though he knows its also not a lot of the time) but he still doesnt really know how Intrusive Thoughts are helpful to Thomas or good in any way. I see in his future, job related anxiety and insecurity. It will be adressed, and its also good he was allowed his breakdown early (You vs Yourself, you can tell I really like this episode despite a severe lack of Virgil and Remus)

Logan: Well. we all know how this is going, I mean, hes the talk of the town lately! As a Logan fan, I can attest to the fact that he did used to be more lighthearted and smile more and I can also attest to the fact that Thomas is very aware of his development as a character and I don't think he'll let yall down. just, what I can glean from his videos. we're all waiting for him to go apeshit, and I with you, and i do think its coming very soon guys, hold on to your proverbial hats! I do enjoy that hes clearly indifferent to the new additions and not thrown off like the others. due to the fact that he is Logic. Id also like to point out that logic can be wrong and everyones logic is different. even if its less so compared to how anxiety is. so. logic is still susceptible to human whims. anyway theres been plenty going aorund abt ignoring logan and the orange side, and I'm always up for discussion on any of these guys. Hes really been just going ham into his job, huh? search for purpose, hmmm? ponder on that morsel. more alcohol in his life as well, an interesting observation.

Janus: oh, the snakey boi. How hes grown. he does a lot of drinking too. what for, I wonder. I do think the preposition to his song reveals a lot, like how Patton is talking to him more, how he knows truths and knows that some need to be hidden and its healthy to lie sometimes even when you know its a lie. Hes confident in himself and his abilities and knows when the criticism is ignorance vs actual criticism, which is why he values Logan's perspective on his arguments and brushes off Roman's jabs to his ego. Hes safely on the ride, and I dont see any heavy existential crises or anything in his near future, as in, he (and Remus, I'll talk about it later) will probably be the only mentally stable ones as the Light Sides are having their purposes reevaluated. Confidence is surprisingly key. who'da thunk it?

Remus: My favourite rat man. True to his name, hes very intrusive, and I admire his determination in his fight for acknowledgement. I think it will serve him well, the "face it bluntly hands on" tactic compared to Janus, who understands where he stands in the others' eyes and will slowly but surely snake his way (see what i did there?) to the table. Remus, and I love it about him, is just running forward to acceptance MACE ABLAZING and I hope it takes him good places. the WTIT ep was very revealing. his confidence in himself, like Janus's, will carry them through the generally rough patch that I predict is coming their way. i do think he is salty abt being ignored, which I interpret as the biggest difference between him and Janus (who might also be, but I dont really see it? I might also be in denial cuz this theory is really working for me) and Remus is wounded by it and trying to hide the fact that hes salty with his craziness and randomness that no one understands. its why he feels mor menacing than Janus. who knows, Janus might be just as peeved but hiding it better? settled himself in for the long game?

both dark sides certainly seem bent (and betting) on getting Logan to lose his marbles, but idk whether thats for Logans good or so the Reasonable Light Side (tm) will see what its like? and by proxy everyone else...? the tail end of the theory is escaping me now. its also 5 am.

Cant wait to see how the orange side manifests, wont that just be plenty of fun for all?

so this is my first post on tumblr so i hope ya’ll like it!!!

Janus is best snake boi and nobody can tell me otherwise 

SURPRISE

Casual Janus getting caught off guard by a scheming Remus

Aough this sanders sides fix is feeling like I need to draw these guys every day
