On a lighter note from my last post,

I think it's really fun that Janus is the only side who can give Remus a good day on the first try because

1) he's known him for his whole life so he knows exactly what he likes

And 2) Janus is a self care king and knows what he's doing

Hello Sanders Sides Tumblr! I have made a connection that I haven't seen many people talking about so I thought I would share!

We all know that each side encompasses more than what their title suggests. For this post we'll be focusing on Janus(I don't know how to make text yellow so he's going to be orange) and Roman. We've learned from specifically POF that Janus is more of a self preservation side rather than purely "deceit," the more negative term being "selfishness."

Throughout every episode that Janus has had a main part in Roman is also present. And I believe that this has to do with the fact that Roman is not only creativity but also c!Thomas's hopes and dreams and ambitions, generally all very selfish desires. Whether or not it is intentional by the costume designers, Romans outfit includes small notes of gold on it, a commonly yellow color but also can be a symbol of greed(think of Robin Hood and all that). This is why I believe Roman has such a problem with Janus, because Roman is supposed to be a morally "good" figure for Thomas. He's supposed to be his hero.

In Selfishness V. Selflessness, Janus possesses the metaphor of "life being like a pinata," and says that it has the stuff you want inside and Roman says quietly, almost to himself "do I." He doesn't want to fully admit that he agrees with Janus for wanting things for selfish reasons because that's not what a hero does, they do it because they know it's right. Which are exactly the arguments that Patton uses in POF.

If I keep going with this post I'm just going to end up repeating myself and regurgitating information from the episodes. All of this is to say that Roman has such a big issue with Janus because he truly agrees with him on such a level that goes against his morals.

not thought out at all but i find it interesting how roman is the only 'light' side who actually has the color white prominent in his outfit. logan's color scheme is obviously dark blue and black (very interesting choice), and patton's is light blue and...grey. virgil's is purple and black with notably hints of white in it. to me, patton's hoodie being grey reads as a slight jab at the fact that morality is inherently subjective and can lean in either direction depending on personal biases and beliefs. virgil having his hints of black and white entirely seperated instead of blending into a grey could be because he sees his past as a dark side as inherently seperated from his present as a light side; to him, the two are fully seperate with no room for ambiguity.

but roman's color scheme is red and white. i think this is because he's not actually a fully realized, entire side onto himself: he's half of creativity. him and remus were supposed to be one full side with both dark and light aspects to it, but because they were split into two, those two became literally black and white.

well. either all that, or thomas just has a limited wardrobe to work with

Sanders sides brainrot is back after 6 long years. Of course I had to draw myself as Remus, those are the rules of old interests coming back...

Not Their Third

Have a great day, folks.

Struck by the thought of whenever Janus has a day where his leg/legs start acting up he shifts to a snake and Remus ADORES whenever he gets to feed snake Janus.

And Remus has days when his bones hates him so he shifts to an octopus, letting Janus keep him company.

But if both of theirs bodies fuck up for them at the same time, they go to Logan.

Logan in turn has nothing against a snake curled across his shoulders. He makes different tests for Remus to try, Remus fucking loves it.

Who thought it was a good idea to give Remus a match

[no-namenerd]

I was drawing sanders sides again and thought “grey that’s cringe” but then I remembered that tumblr doesn’t think anything is cringe so here you go I’m exploding them with my mind

[no-namenerd]

but you three used to have such a passion for life :/ what ever happened, huh?

The Sides and Their Sleeping Habits

Logan - Cannot practice what he preaches for the life of him when it comes to a healthy sleep schedule. Go to sleep at ten, he says. Wake up at six feeling refreshed, he says. And guess who is up to the butt-crack of dawn because he gets lost in his newest hyper fixation research binge? This guy.

Actually believes that he can just chug enough coffee that the others won't notice the bags under his eyes. Cue the other sides taking turns subtly switching his coffee supply with decaf or turning on episodes of Doctor Who just to lure him to the couch to relax and conk out.

When Logan does steer his mind towards sleep, he lays down on his back and there he stays for the entirety of the night. He doesn't roll. His legs don't jerk. He pulls a sleep mask over his eyes and sleeps until his alarm wakes him up. If he doesn't set an alarm, he basically falls into a small coma as his body demands rest. He hates sleeping that long, and he's definitely not a morning person, but he'd rather drag himself out of bed than be seen as unproductive. Also, the dude swears up and down he has never snored in his life, but he does a little bit sometimes and it's really cute.

Patton - Can and will fall asleep anywhere. One minute he's bright-eyed and the life of the party. Then next you're looking over and he's got his head nodding off into his shoulder, arms crossed to his chest, dead asleep. Other times he gets a pillow and a blanket and declares it's naptime and finds a comfy place on the floor.

He's got the most serious frown on his face when he's asleep. Because of this, Roman and Virgil like to ask him what he's thinking about, knowing he's not going to answer. Then one day Patton does answer (because he wasn't actually asleep, just resting his eyes). Roman screams like a banshee in surprise.

Patton frequently stays up way too late as well, but when he eventually falls asleep, the guy sleeps like a rock. The others have carried him to bed before and he's never, not once woken up during it, completely dead to the world. When he goes to bed himself, Patton says goodnight to each of his stuffed animals and likes to curl up in bed and read a chapter of his current book before taking off his glasses and going to sleep. He snores like a dad half the time, and it's not unusual for him to wake up with drool in the morning.

Roman - Surprisingly has a tight bedtime routine. A prince has got to slay and that means getting his beauty rest! He's big on lots of face masks or moisturizers or lotions before bed, and sometimes he burns candles or incense to make the room calming and luxurious. He also uses a sleeping mask like Logan, just fancier of course. He cycles through his favorite lullabies as he gets ready for bed. But on the nights that his self-confidence is paper thin, the songs are hummed in a minor key.

Roman can't instantly fall asleep like Patton can, but it doesn't usually take him too long. When he does go under, he's in a perfectly reasonable position for all of five minutes before he's kicked off the covers and sprawled out gracelessly over the mattress. He tucks his hand up under his shirt, tummy on display, and though he never snores, he is prone to sleep-talking or the occasional whimper when the dreams turn sour. Also, he looks like he's dead asleep, but this motherfucker is alert even while unconscious. If someone walks into his room at night, he's flashing a sword before his eyes have opened. Janus tried sneaking into Roman's room at night exactly once.

There's a dream journal on his nightstand. In the morning, he religiously updates it and expands on the more intriguing ones to use as creative fuel. Occasionally he wakes in the middle of the night and updates the journal immediately. On these nights, it's fifty-fifty chance that Roman will get too excited and abandon his room to go tell Logan all about his dream, whether Logan's currently awake or not.

Virgil - He would have better sleeping habits. Truly, he would if only his body would cooperate. He's learned over the years that he can't force it no matter how hard he tries. Usually he waits until he's too exhausted or (more rarely) when he's extremely comfortable and content. Other nights, he listens to music to distract his brain and sometimes it works like a charm while other times he's just jamming out for a few hours. In the old days, Virgil would go to Janus and he would always manage to get Virgil lulled to sleep with some head scratches.

Like Patton, Virgil is prone to napping. He sleeps better in short bursts, and typically he can't do so around others for fear of letting his guard down. Predictably, he has nightmares more often than not, but he's learned to deal with the aftermath in various ways. Also like Roman, he sleeps with one eye open. Light sleepers, the both of them. One time the stars aligned and they both fell asleep on the couch together and kept waking each other every few minutes because Roman would mumble something or Virgil's leg would twitch.

When Virgil's asleep, he's curled up into a tight ball. You can't see it from the outside, but under his arms and tucked up against his chest is a stuffed rabbit he's had since childhood. Also, Virgil totally has a hammock in his room and would love to sleep in it because the swaying is soothing, but he's too afraid he'll fall out of it. Mostly it's there for the spider aesthetic.

Janus - Second to Roman, Janus is the side with the most concrete bedtime routine. He likes a long, luxurious bath beforehand, treating his skin and scales to various products, and he usually goes to bed around the same time every night. Similar to Patton, he likes to rest in bed for a bit watching TV shows or reading until he's ready to call it quits for the day.

Not a single person has seen Janus sleep. In fact, this bitch has convinced everyone that he doesn't need to. And everyone totally believes him. Well done, Janus, you sly dog you! Anyway, if anyone tries to bother Janus after normal office hours, he is a terror to behold at being woken up in the middle of the night. Hell hath no fury like a snake who can't have his sleepies. Otherwise though, when Janus goes to bed, the conditions must be perfect for him to relax. He must have his favorite pillow and his sound machine playing white noise and any light in the vicinity must be devoured by the darkness, muahaha.

Definitely a stomach sleeper. One leg bent at the knee, one arm stretched out across the mattress. When he stays on the bed that is. He's prone to sleepwalking, for some reason. He usually wakes himself up fiddling with something in his room and then grumpily going back to bed. Sometimes he wakes up with random stuff in his bed that his sleepwalking self apparently thought was super important. Initially, Janus thought Remus managed to get in his room and was pulling a prank. But when asked, Remus answers honestly, "No, I wasn't in your room last night. Why? Did you want me to be?" Janus believes him, but he doesn't answer, nor does he bring it up again.

Remus - There's no routine here. What else did you expect? Sometimes he knocks himself unconscious for funsies. Sometimes he goes days without sleep. Sometimes he sleeps in a bed like a normal person, always in the buff. And sometimes, he makes it a challenge on what torture devices he can actually manage to fall asleep on.

On rare occasions, the others happen to find him sleeping in random spaces. Ideally this would be the common areas, though more often it's their own rooms or bathrooms. Each time, they startle and then Remus's eyes pop open and he rises like a vampire lord. If Remus ever was to pin down what his preferred sleeping method is, he'd say a coffin. Even when he's not in a coffin, he likes to lay on his back with his arms crossed in an X across his chest like a dead body posed for a wake. Surprisingly, Remus never dreams or remembers his dreams. His brain makes up for it during his waking hours.

If Remus stumbles upon the other sides asleep, he does in fact pull pranks. Whether it be a hand in a bowl of water trick or drawing phallic imagery on their faces. And in the spirit of keeping things unpredictable, Remus will sometimes throw blankets over their sleeping forms and pat their heads and wish them pleasant nightmares.

[no-namenerd]

Not full designs yet but close enough. Just wanna share this piece of thought :DD

CG designs are here!
