Explain how you have all the correct opinions on Leander.

Like?????

How do you do this shit?? How do these thoughts enter your mind????

It's like, I would have never thought of this, but it is indisputably correct, perfect fit for him, EVERY TIME

Have a wrong opinion about him. Plz. I'm losing my mind.

I have no idea what is plausible anymore i am so lost in the obsession sauce that comes out of sticking into a blender everyone else's theories + symbolism/lit research + projecting myself + defensive pessimism by assuming the absolute worst of the LIs so I can't get too devastated by whatever canon actually happens.

One day im like "hes just some guy pathetic and does stupid evil shit for good" and one day im like "actually hes kind of completely fucked up he doesnt really care in the way lowtown might think he does. He cares in his own weird savior hero narcissistic way" and one day im like "i have no fucking clue who he's supposed to be at all."

Im glad u think my mad ravings have some sort of merit to them 💀 I dont necessarily expect them to be canon (ofc except the opinions i GOT from the majority of fandom pretty much agreeing on) (and i got most of my opinions from other ppl, not my pea brain 💀).

Tell u what i definitely got uquiz guesses wrong bc the very first time I thought he was Judas by Lady Gaga (monke sees two faced and immediately associates Leander, completely forgoring there is a literal angel wearing a whole mortal skin as a mask and "masquerades as a doctor") and for the longest time I thought he was some sort of spicy food (poison moment) and my dumb ass completely forgor Ais is the epitome of psychological horror with an eldritch being living in his head when i just associated Leander's manipulation with psychological horror.

BTW a lot of the times I go to what might be extremes with characterizing what makes Leander evil but it's just a result of trying not to go insane waiting for 2yrs and tossing the blorbo around. I promise u everybody if how i talk about leander might seem like a "yeah hes fucked up but not for those reasons" moment, ure probably right and i never claim to be correct on anythign. Just trying to toss up as many "what ifs" for fun to brave the winter 😭 U can just ignore my weirdass opinions in these cases (or just ignore any of my opinions like literally it doesnt matter lol)

Sorry if this was a more serious answer than u were expecting bc sometimes i get kinda worried that ppl might feel like im trying to claim to be the Beholder of True Leander with all my weird wiki screenshots and essays and torrent of leanderposting when I'm just some gal fucking around 😭 Nobody has to take any of my theories/opinions seriously im just some rando i promise

A fluffy tidbit for you today, yes? Yes. I subscribe to the HC that since Jan has all those extra arms he is especially good at weaving/crocheting. He also seems the type to show how he feels more through actions than words. So imagine that, in an effort to show that he is supportive of Vee's regression and Ro's age dreaming, he makes the boys things such as soft toys or baby blankets (big boys can have baby blankets too, you are never too old for a blanket, Roman!) 🤍

i forgot about his arms!!!!

EDIT: i decided against having janus with six arms in this au!! he only has two arms!

oh my gosh oh my gosh yes! white heart anon this is v v clever

you are right, janus' love language i think would be giftgiving (and for receiving i think he would say its acts of service but secretly its physical touch) so he very much shows his love with little presents rather than words and !!

oh oh and he will give litte gifts like he got remus a keychain that looked like a rat's tail just because he saw it and thought he would like it and thats his casual way of saying he likes you

but you know you're really In There with his affection when he handmakes something for you!!

i am really soft for the idea that janus is a crafter oh my gosh

here are some things my brain did

it will take him a while to make people stuff!! he is not comfy sharing that much of himself with ppl for a long time

but eventually..

janus knitting molly weasley style jumpers for everyone for the first christmas that he has been accepted as part of the family.. my heart

this works perfectly for the puppet show! i can't elaborate because spoilers shhh

but i can also imagine janus is just so extra and fancy he doesnt make your typical crafts that you would expect him to make like scarves and stuff

okay so basically him and patton have afternoon tea sometimes which im gonna write more about in the sequel to labd

so.. janus crocheting little tea cosies :0 oh my gosh oh my gosh okay okays i nedd to lie down

for those of u who are unaware of what that is

behold. tea cosies:

they keept your teapot cosy!!!!! 🥺

he makes this bee one after finding out how much the boys like winnie the pooh..

so one day he shows up to afternoon tea with this masteriece and patton is of course SO excited and puts it on the teapot straight away

(i know my british is showing here but bear with me)

and as janus had hoped, when roman passes through the dining room he's like :o !!!!!! thats pretty!!! where u get that!!

and janus is rlly shy about wanting to look after the boys actually but this is his sneaky (snakey haha) plan ! and he mentions that he made it and roman is >:O !!!!!!!!! WOW!

then the MASTERPLAN janus offers to teach roman how to do it and they bond together!!! okay

i dont have more to say bc ive just realised i might want to write it so im saving it ahh

and yes imagine he actually knows that vee doesnt like the feel of knit/crochet wool ! so while he crochets roman a blanket with little roses around the edge

he embroiders a fluffy baby blankie for virgil and around the edges are littol bunnies jumping along the hems :((( thats so soft

and vee loves running his fingertips over the embroidery thread and it becomes his favourite comfort blankie!!
