Sander Sides Wrist Tattoos 2.0 !! original designs
ssoooo @astro-flowers spurred me on to create Remus’ Tattoo design~ ssoo i thought I would update everyone else too! (I put them in the order of the rainbow!)
Roman- His emblem of a shield with a sun Deceit- His emblem of a two headed snake… his design kinda broke the one-line rule… I had to add little snek tongues or it wouldn’t feel right! Remus- His emblem of a tentacle sword (shown on Thomas’ Livestream) Patton- still a heart, but REVISED! I added a little bubble and redrew the heart to look like two arms giving a hug (or two hands holding a heart, either way) Logan- His v serious tie, but REVISED! I had added a little detail, partly to show the diagonal design of his tie, but maybe to also demonstrate his ability to ‘fill in the blanks’ and be the missing piece of a conversation. Virgil- His emblem of a storm cloud with a lightning bolt.
In this revision, I made the designs go up the arm instead of across the wrist, thought it would be cooler to show how each side is one of a whole… an entirely single line, slightly influenced to be a different shape and purpose. for those that want to get a tattoo or just doodle on your arm (lol, be safe): feel free to organize them as you please! in any order or orientation
Some guides on how to draw them as a single line:

Well I feel down a Sanders Sides rabbit hole and now I have one fan fic idea that keeps playing in my head:
Remus and Roman are twins but they don't attend the same school because Remus was... himself and his parents were kindly asked to transfer him to a school that "fits his personality better". So he goes to a school a whole district over. He gets along with Roman and he loves him but they are very different people so they don't hang out a lot. Remus also can't stand the blatant favoritism they're parent give Roman. He thinks it's sweet that Roman tries to tap it down but it doesn't change anything.
Sp Remus spends most of his free time at his friend Janus house with his other friend Virgil. Janus also shouldn't be attending their school cause he's loaded but he hated the prep school he was sent to and transferred behind his parents back. Money can get you literally anything. Expect real friends which is why Janus loves Remus and Virg so much. Virgil is actually living at a near by boys home. As a kid his home situation wasn't great and he doesn't talk about it a lot. He ended up at Sanders House four years ago though and it's not too bad.
So anyway Roman has never meet Remus' friends and Remus has never met Roman's friend Patton and Logan. Whenever they come over is always at Janus' house. He knows they exist just like Roman knows Virgil and Janus do but they've not met in person over the last two years.
So it all starts pm a long weekend because Halloween is Friday. ( fun fact my school in gerogia gave us Halloween and Valentines off and used it as teacher workshop days.)
So of course the dark side trio is hype, roaming the mall, scaring people, judging costumes, and trying to find accessories to improve their own.
The light side trio is also their because Patton waited too late to get a "decent" (Roman's words) costume, and Logan was hoping to avoid getting one at all.
The crowds get so bad that everyone is separated. Luckily both sides actually have designated met spots, tho for very different reasons. The darks sides met spot is the horror section at Barnes and Nobles. It's large enough that Virgil won't feel claustrophobic and he can read some Poe while he waits and not have people constantly asking if he needs assistance. It was a place chosen, so he doesn't have a panic attack while he waits for his friends since he's the only one without a phone.
On the other had the light side trio chose the lgbtq+ teen romance section as their meet spot. Mainly Because it'll distract Roman enough that he won't get bored of waiting and wonder out to find his friends before they get there. Defeating the purpose of the spot all together.
You can see where this is going.
Patton has been trying to get on the elevator for the last five minuets but everyone time he tries to get on the same time as someone else he let's them all go first and theres no room for him. This goes on until a nice but kinda rude stranger just days "oh my gawd" and pulls him in as he in goes in. The stranger honestly looks way to well dressed to be here and doesn't even introduce himself. He just starts playing on his phone and Patton doesn't know whether saying thank you would be annoying or not. Janus on the other hand is texting Remus about how just met someone who reminds him a little of freshman Virgil and how he hopes he's not freaking out.
Logan has decided to take the stairwell because he knows that people arr less likely to use it over the escalators or elevators. He looks a floor above him and someone who kinda sorta looks like Roman sliding down the railing on his ass and laughing the whole time. He barely has time to dodge as someone yells " dodge nerd" and flies past him. Honestly Logans so surprised by whatever the hell that was that it take him two whole ass minutes to start walking again. Remus is just having a blast. He didn't think this would work and he saw a pretty cute nerd on the way down.
Roman is having a complicated time. He lgbtq teen romance section is usually in the front if the store but it's been switched with the horror section for the month. So here is is not being able to decide whether he should just stay here because the ia the physical spot he normals what's at or go the the actual section with all the books about the boys kissing that he likes to read. Virgil on the other hand is on the virge (ha) of kinda freaking out. He's happy that the sectionnis getting more love, even if it's only for money. But he liked that it was in the back and away from the crowds of people coming in and out. Not to mention theirs someone dude dresses like a prince yelling on the phone to someone named Patton about whether he should "go to the section of love and acceptance or stay in emo hell". Virgil is insulted enough by this to tell him Roman to please stop yelling and go to whatever section isn't here. Roman rolls his eyes calls him knock off Gerard way and ignores him. Virgil completely forgets how nervous he was becuase now his piss3d and they get into an arguments.
It ends when Patton walks in and calls for Roman at the same time that Janus calls in and calls for Virgil. They look to their friend seemingly coming in together and are about to complain to their respective friends when Janus, Virgil and Roman here a familiar voice go
"Brobro what are you doing here. Hey Jan, hey virge," and Remus walks in completely unaware of the fighting that was just happening. Virgil tries to actually get a good like at this guy's face and realizes that without the make up and general zanny disposition he does look a lot like Remus. Before anyone can respond tk that, an another person asks
"OH God Roman what did you do? Who are they?" And of course it's Logan.
So now are dark sides are standing on one side and all the lights on the other. As the two siblings and their two different friend groups collide. Teen hurt, comfort and angst ensues.
I'm sorry yall are really saying "oh moceit is such a divorced couple" and then expect to have wholesome fluff filled conversations
As someone with divorced parents
Their talking about how Patton just got an air fryer and because Janus is going on vacation so whats the schedule gonna be like for that
Cmon janus
There's no way in remrom you mistook patton, a pile of nothing but fatherly love for a garbage can, just say you didn't wanna finish the sandwich and asked if anyone wanted it, and patton finished it okay, swallow your pride for 2 seconds
GIRL HELP I CAN'T STOP SEEING JANUS AS THE "I don't need friends, they disappoint me"
I'M JUST TRYING TO FIND FLUFF
I've been horribly deprived of moceit content
It's just the classic moceit fic of "janus can't control his body temp so him and patton cuddle" but with a slight twist
Because... Both frogs and snakes are cold blooded
Hope you enjoy
The two layed in a mountain of blankets of varying textures, thickness and colors, in a large bed, their only light being the window next to them. This was never meant to happen, the two where relatively close, occasionally having conversation and comforting each other when they need the other, Janus was just complaining that he couldn't regulate his body temperature, and even though they lived in Florida, it was extremely cold outside, to the point it was snowing, and as if it were nothing Patton just offered to go snuggle under some blankets together, Janus was… flustered to say the least, trying his best to hide the half of his face that was dusted with a light pink, although it was sudden… it wasn't despised. So there they played together under multiple upon multiple blankets
"God you're lucky!"
Patton sat up, adjusting the blankets to still be firmly around him, he looked at janus quizzically "what do you mean?"Janus turned to him confused with a slightly judgmental look "what do you mean what do I mean? I'm not the one who can't regulate their body temperature, you get to actually enjoy winter!" Patton let out a small laugh "When was that established?"
Janus sat up as confused as ever "so this whole time, you've-" "yep!" Patton nodded his head, voice and expression as if this was a well known thing. Janus stared at him in disgust, "I haven't tried to hide it kiddo!" Patton chirped, Janus sighed and later back down
"dammit" Janus slumped back into the covers
Patton giggled "what is it this time?" Janus his his face under the blankets "now I'm not the center of attention anymore and I have to actually care about you!" Patton hummed in acknowledgment, sliding back into the covers spooning Janus, placing his head under his, lightly kissing Janus' jaw "How's that for attention?" Patton whispered, Janus thought "... It will suffice." Patton smiled "do you need anything? More blankets?" he asked, as they where both under a mound of every blanket the could find in the apartment "I'm fine, How about you!" Janus said dramatically, Patton laughed "I'm fine.", Janus turned to him, their lips inches away from each other, Janus quickly kissed Patton
"No you're not, you're still freezing."
I'm taking requests!!
I'll mainly be writing fluff or hurt/comfort, I don't do smut and I'm not a fan if writing heavy angst
I'll really do any ships (just obviously not remrom) but I most enjoy stuff like
-Logicality
-Moceit
-Logince
-Demus
-Intrulogical
But once again I'll do any
I'm also entirely up for aus
Everyone's making frog pattons hcs that are ansty
Hear me out
His blush is green
And he thinks it's stupid and hffmkhdsckoywsgf
... Listen if any moceit fic writers are taking suggestions-
Made lockscreens of the sides :)
(these are like 8 months old but shhhh)
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)
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?
Finally able to share the art I worked on last year for the official Sanders Sides 2022 Calendar! (The June and October pages, specifically) ✨
These are definitely some of the most detailed pieces I’ve made for a while, and I’m still SO dang happy with how they turned out - but it’d be great to hear which bits really stand out to you guys!
If you wanna see the process behind these pieces, check out the full speedpaint over on YouTube!

(DO NOT EDIT OR REPOST TO OTHER SITES / ACCOUNTS!)
The new episode it was awesome.
My favorite 3 was queen's as always.
Remus gives his handmade shit gift named Mr. Fuzzy.
Virgil gives news paper with mystery to figure out.
And Roman, gives the PERFECTLY PRESENT TO JANUS! BITCH SLAP! I was so happy when he get it! My reaction was mix between Ro, V and Re!
But later Roman givs him an original one after he saw that Janus actualy make a nice card to Patton as a present.
(Sorry if there is any bad grammar)
Sanders Sides top favorite list!
1. Roman, Remus, Virgil.
2. Patton, Logan
3.Janus
Sorry not sorry but i don't like manipulative bananaconda.Even when he sometimes funny.
Logan: Ok, we just have to think straight to solve this…
Roman: But I’m—
Logan: Now is NOT the time
Patton: I’m not—
Logan: Not you too
Virgil: Logan, I—
Logan: NO
Janus: Bu-
Remus: I’m—
Logan: OKAY FINE EVERYONE THINK GAY JUST MAKE A PLAN
I’m gonna say a really hot take and people within both fandoms may be mad:
I’m just saying, Patton likes Pedro Pascal.
Hot Take: Patton isn’t my favorite side. But next time I get a poll asking who my favorite side is, I'm picking Patton out of spite because I’m super spiteful and YALL ARE SO MEAN FOR NO REASON
Like, Patton ain't perfect, of course not (none of them are,) but Jesus! Some of you guys are so hostile to him for no good reason!
Do you think canon Thomas ever, like... Mixes up their names? We know for a fact Writer Thomas does, thanks to bloopers. Like, Logan alone has been mistaken for both Virgil and Patton at one point. Like, it has to be the same for canon Thomas, right?
Thomas definitely had one of those mom moments where he just rattles through all the names until he says the right one. Also a possibility, Thomas rattles off a couple names, gives up, and just points at them while saying “That one! You!” Thomas accidentally called Remus ‘Roman’ once and, safe to say, will never make that mistake again. (No violence (surprisingly,) just a lot of yelling about Thomas’s ‘audacity’ and how they aren’t the same.)
But also I feel the other sides are guilty of this as well. Logan called Patton ‘Janus’ once. Patton thought it was funny, but this haunts Logan. Remus called Virgil ‘Roman’ once, and Virgil brushed it off as a ‘hey, don’t worry about it’ kinda moment. Remus had never been more grossed out by a mix-up. (Ew, I called him my brother’s name? Gross.)
And Thomas has been called by all of the side’s names at least once.
If anyone needs any ideas for a Sander Swap AU, I got important information from the ‘invert’ button
Roman - Morality
Janus - Logic
Remus - Anxiety
Patton - Creativity
Logan - Deceit
Virgil - Intrusive thoughts
And I guess the orange side and Thomas switch places, idk
You know what’s always kinda bothered me? Those mean takes on the other sides. Like ‘Janus is manipulating Patton and isn’t actually trying to be friends with him,’ ‘Patton has too much moral superiority,’ ‘Roman never learns,’ So on and so forth. There is something bad to say about all the sides. No hate to anyone who's made one, you are valid and probably right in your own way. I think the only reason they bother me so much is because you can easily say the opposite. The most common phrase being ‘Nobody listens to ____’
“Nobody listens to Patton! He was trying to show the others that Virgil was good all along and only when Virgil was gone did they listen.”
“Nobody listens to Logan! He gets ignored constantly and he’s getting mad because of it.”
“Nobody listens to Roman! Every time he comes up with a solution, he gets shut down only to get blamed for not coming up with a solution.”
“Nobody listens to Virgil! He only gets listened to when he forces Thomas to hear him, and he doesn’t like doing that.”
“Nobody listens to Janus! Even when he has good ideas and arguments, they get pushed to the side because he is a dark side.”
“Nobody listens to Remus! That was the entire point of an episode. And all he wants is to be listened to, it doesn’t matter who.”
And all of these are valid points. But at some point, you have to wonder who’s not listening the most. Which is how I think the criticism posts of the characters came to be in the first place. But I don’t think any of them are to blame. Even when this new side gets revealed, it won’t be his fault either. The fault isn’t on Roman, or Logan, or Janus, or any of them.
It's on Thomas.
And of course I don’t mean ‘Writer Thomas,’ I mean ‘Character Thomas.’ Throughout the series, Thomas has always held himself high. You can’t be perfect, but you can try to be. And every time a situation comes up, he doubts himself, wondering if he’s even any good at all.
And in comes the sides, telling him that he can’t be bad and here's why. In fact, Thomas won’t let himself be bad at anything. Can’t be a bad worker, can’t be a bad actor or singer, and certainly can’t be a bad friend. Even in situations where he wouldn’t even be those things, he can’t even let himself risk it.
And so, the sides follow suit.
Logan becomes the perfect person for knowledge and learning, never letting himself be anything less than right all the time.
Roman strives to be perfect physically and materialistically, coming up with creative ideas that help Thomas move up in the world or, at the very least, make himself feel better.
Patton is the perfectly moral person. Make sure everyone is alright, help whenever and wherever you can, and always keep a smile on. Wouldn’t want anyone worrying for you, right? That wouldn’t be good.
Virgil is the perfect alarm system. Even false alarms are taken with the utmost seriousness. Just as long as no one else knows your anxious.
Janus is a deceiver. And Thomas lies often. So he needs to be the best at putting on a face and making sure nothing goes off without a hitch. Wouldn’t want people catching him in a lie. He needs to be the perfect liar.
And then there's Remus. The only one who tries not to be perfect. But that idea terrifies the others so much, Remus is left to pick up all of the imperfection slack. Maybe that's why Remus was offended when he was called ‘Scary.’
Trying to be so many perfect things all at once, you’re going to but heads with all of the different aspects of yourself. You're going to not listen. You're going to ignore. And in some cases, your perfectionism is going to make you look like the bad guy. And as someone with perfectionism, I relate a little too hard.
Thank you for reading.
Holy shit, The mind electric by Chonny Jash makes my Sander Sides hyperfixation hit DIFFERENT-
Especially if you look at the heart segment as Patton and Janus, The mind section as Logan and Virgil, and the soul segment as Roman and Remus.
To further my point, here are some actual lyrics from the song ((with notes by me)):
But as complacency settles, anxieties will rise
And part this Soul as Jekyll parted Hyde
Now I’m but half of a hollow man’s lies:
The love, the hate, the еmotional side
((LIKE BROO???? Janus and Patton talking about doing nothing will just make Virgil be anxious and talking about how Thomas has them seperated))
“I know I’m weak. I know that I’m vile
But sometimes that is needed to survive.”
That’s what I’ll say to rationalize
“I’m needed if we’re to stay alive.”
((Janus trying to convince himself he is needed))
And yet, here I lie with black, sunken eyes
My Mind’s consigned our sighs to a leaden void
The Soul remains tempered. I remain plied
Condemned ‘til we are both all but destroyed
((Patton sad that Logan and Virgil are convinced that emotion is not needed, convinced that this will do more bad than good.))
But I know that one plus one can’t equal two
If happiness is both our truths
Our total sum must equal one if we’re to find that golden hue
((Basically like ‘Hey, guys! We need to be apart of this whether you like it or not!’ Also trying to convince the others that happiness is the ultimate goal.))
See how The Mind tricks The Soul
Into being something sickly, dead and cold
As you feel it start to tire and fester so, so slowly
Up until the point where it will finally die
Just in time to see what could have been
((Talking about Virgil and Logan trying to convince Roman and Remus to be on their side?? Also talking about how this is a bad idea because they could pass opportunities. God, I need an animatic and I need it now-))
Do what you want, you automaton freak
No, I can no longer bring myself to care
This hollowed out vessel’s beginning to creak
So take control, let’s see how you fare
((Janus being sassy before the Parts change? Iconic.))
Resident Heart is feeble and frail
A scourge to purge; due diligence is all
Silent, sad outbursts, inaudible wails
Dictate he never does as he’s told
((Logan and Virgil talking about Patton? Mad he’s doing his job and has emotion, talk about projection.)
Fathers of fathers, brothers of sons
Deterred from being what they know they can
All because Heart refuses to run
This creature hardly resembles a man
((Once again, these boys trash-talking Patton, but now also bringing the ‘sons’ into this (R&R)))
My logic is the absolute
His pity parties simply harm these chances at an apt repute:
Esteemed regard in place of mockery
((Logan talking about the others and how he needs to be listened to more))
I’m sure it seems from his point of view
That I’m a simple, cynical machine
But is it so hard to see the whole truth?
I merely seek a Soul that’s pristine
((Virgil talking about Janus and how he only wants the best for Thomas))
See how The Heart plays profound
(See how he lies.)
But the depth is insincere
A pathetic, thin veneer
All the pain, regret and fear still resound
((Just more L and V talking shit, but more specifically critiquing on how Patton and Janus both think they know best when they don’t))
Though I seem harsh in all my assessments
We each seek a life lived in the light
Yet, there lies our Heart, engulfed in resentment
Stubborn, pale akaryocyte
((Logan being like ‘yeah, I was a little harsh, but I’m not gonna fucking apologize because something needs to be done.’ Also equated ‘having emotions’ as having a ‘virus’ because that's what akaryocyte means))
Call me The Soul or call me my name
Oh, label me whatever you would like
Call me your host or call me insane
If that will help you stay in line
((Basically an introduction, but also why I put Remus as the soul because he would be like ‘Yeah, I’m insane, sure, but it works, doesn’t it?’))
Fathers of fathers, I know that I’m vile
Let’s see how long it takes to murder me
Neither is wrong, yet neither is right
Condemn him to the infirmary
((Remus basically knowing his job is to be terrible and telling Patton “hey, I’m the exact opposite of you. And if you hate it so much, kill me.” While Roman is like “both sides have points, but I don’t know who to choose”))
I. Am. Me.
((You can’t tell me this isn’t all of them shouting this at the same time. They a frustrated bunch.))
See how the brain plays around
And it splits what once was whole down into three
And you fall inside a hole, inside a
Someone help me
Understand what’s going on behind my eyes
Doctor, I can’t tell if I’m not me
((The creativity twins both mad at Logan and Virgil for digging deeper into the psyche, trying to make sense of things.))
See how they fight all day
The other half won’t hear what’s had to say
It’s just the game they play here in this labyrinth maze
((Do I... Do I need to over-analyze this line? I feel like this one does the job for me))
Tridential regicide
I won’t hesitate to kill my Heart and Mind
I will abdicate these deviants sat inside
I’ll take you down in tandem when this rope is tied
((Basically both of them saying ‘this fighting is gonna kill me and, in turn, us.))
And this was a lot longer than I intended. And there are parts I didn’t even get to! Please listen! God, it's so good.
Okay, but we all have to collectively agree on it. Hear me out on some starters: It's about implicit bias, Janus gets motivation for a redemption arc, and Patton says fuck. Anyone else?
what if we all collectively hallucinate a new sander sides ep and talk about it
YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW DEEPLY AND DESPERATELY I WANT A PATTON RENDITION OF SUGAR CLOUD BECAUSE THE IDEA OF PATTON RANTING TO THE SIDES ABOUT LOVING YOURSELF AND YOUR SURROUNDINGS FOR WHAT THEY ARE BEFORE GETTING INTO EMOTION BAGGAGE VIA SONG FEELS SO ON BRAND FOR PATTON AND SANDER SIDES AS A SERIES AND I WANT IT!!!!
GIVE ME A PATTON SCENE WHERE HE RUFFLES HIS HAIR AND MOVES HIS CARTIGAIN FROM HIS SHOULDERS TO HIS WAIST! GIVE ME A SCENE WHERE THEY ALL GOOFILY DANCE TOGETHER WITH NO SHAME!! GIVE ME A SOULFUL PATTON SOLO BECAUSE PATTON DESERVES IT!!!
RIDE THE CYCLONE AU?? YEAH
Janus - Ocean O’Connell Rosenberg
I mean, come on. She sang an entire song shitting on people she’s known her entire life, even throwing her best friend under the bus. Why? Self preservation. I rest my case.
Patton - Constance Blackwood
I feel like this is obvious but Constance is a loyal, kind girl who feels emotions deeply. Patton is the same way. Also, who else would have a song called “Sugar Cloud”?
Logan - Mischa Bachinsky
HEAR ME OUT. Who destroyed Roman in a rap battle? Logan. Who doesn’t show much emotion besides rage and passion (for Crofters)? Logan. WHO PUTS UP A FRONT TO NOT BE EMOTIONALLY HURT? PROBABLY LOGAN. Let him be a Ukrainian bad boy.
Roman - Noel Gruber
The most romantic boy in town… duh. Also, poem writing? The desire for a dramatic life? Gay? It’s all coming together.
Remus - Ricky Potts
Sexy cat orgy in outer space.
Virgil - Jane Doe
They both don’t fit in and tend to scare the people around them, even if they don’t mean to. Also, one could argue Virgil’s lack of concrete identity after leaving the dark sides could fit Jane Doe’s identity. ALSO ALSO, Virgil would want to be Jane Doe.

Remus and Roman fight. A lot. But not about anything serious (usually,) but things like the best pop-tart flavor or could they what if imaginary scenarios. It gets heated in the funny way. When this happens, the other sides say ‘the girls are fighting.’
Logan is the only person to own multiple, metal, labeled rulers
When Patton gets very invested in a person and is convinced they could do no wrong, their glasses are tinted pink.

Roman switches place with Roman and confuses the fuck out of everyone. Yep, I spelt Roman twice. Somehow, SS!Roman and RwR!Roman switch universes which confuses the fuck out of everyone. Yungblood is very aware that something is wrong while Virgil (at first) thinks Roman is playing some sort if weird trick on him. While RwR! Roman is trying to come to terms with being stuck in a universe where six different people look exactly like him and is unsure of how real he is, SS!Roman is going on an epic adventure, hopefully on how to get back to his world (yungblood regrets wanting him to sing)
I’m going to call this one “the hollow au.” Long story short, Thomas no longer has access to his sides or vice versa. A group of Thomas’s friends come over to find him in a weird, dazed state. Like autopilot but... Worse. Like he’s not entirely there. His friends go around the house to try and find something to inspire him or get him back to his old self. One of the friends go into the front yard and find this crystal. When they pick it up, they reveal Patton sitting in the grass hold in his knees and hiding his face. The person gets Patton’s attention, Patton rushes to check on Thomas, yadda yadda yadda, bit of expedition later and now these group of friends have to find the different parts of Thomas and basically put him back together. That's all
If you want more of these, lmk. If you want some more explanations on the au because you wanna write it, also lmk and I’d be happy to help!

When Patton gets mad, he stomps on the ground like a rabbit. This has given him the nickname ‘Thumper’ by Roman and ‘Stomper’ by Janus.
Janus can't smell, at least not normally. Janus has licked a flower before.
Remus doesn’t actually like the taste of anything he eats, but he powers through it because he knows Thomas doesn't either.
Virgil can sometimes be tricked into thinking he has purple eyeshadow, which will in turn make him embarrassed and give him purple eyeshadow.
Roman has one of those mirrors that's covered in sticky notes telling him how great he is. Most of them were written by him, but some we're written by Patton. One was written by Virgil.
Logan has a mysterious hole in his wall that he covers with a Star Trek poster. How that hole got there is unknown.

Virgil, but he’s based on fight instead of flight. He’s punk instead of emo, he’s got red on him instead of purple, he’s definitely more willing to throw hands, and the flirting with social anxiety video goes WAY DIFFERENT (Going up and talking to him? No problem. Not insulting him? That's the new issue.)
Normal Sander Sides, but everyone tolerates each other a little more. Virgil realizes Janus is annoying, but also the main reason why people lie is fear. Patton, after every severe disagreement, makes each of the sides something to eat because he just wants them to know they're loved despite the disagreement. Remus will throw earbuds at Patton when he’s about to say something SUPER heinous. Logan and Janus have conversations over books. Roman will, periodically, write a note apologizing to some of the sides if need be. Sometimes all of the dark sides bother Thomas at once because it's funny. They still fight and argue over things, but the only real issue between them is Roman being mad at Remus because he keeps eating bathroom supplies, which wouldn’t be a problem if THEY WEREN’T MY BATHROOM SUPPLIES YOU DICK
If I come up with anymore, I’ll let you know
