Space Heater

Fandom: Sander Sides Pairing: Moceit (Janus/Patton) Tags: Fluff, Cuddling, Cold-blooded Janus, Ficlet Summary: Janus can't fall asleep one night due to being freezing from being cold-blooded, and decides to go to his boyfriend Patton for some warm snuggles

Janus buried himself further in his nest of soft weighted blankets, shivering despite how warm he should be. After an hour and a half of futile attempts to feel warm, he reluctantly emerged from his blanket fortress and sat up, shivering. He hugged himself and rubbed his arms trying in vain to warm himself.

He could go to his boyfriend, Patton, but he was almost against it. He could handle a little cold, right? No, no he couldn't, despite how much he tried telling himself he could. He sighed and stood, leaving his room and heading down the hall to Patton's room.

Standing outside Patton's door, Janus hesitated before tentatively knocking, hoping not to disturb Patton's rest. After a few moments and some shuffling behind the door, it opened, revealing Patton looking adorable yet tired in his gray cat onesie. “Oh, hey pumpkin, did you need something?” Patton smiled warmly, stepping aside in case his partner wanted to come inside his room. Janus smiled back tiredly at Patton, taking the offer and walking in.

“Yes, I need my space heater of a boyfriend” He walked over to the bed and sat on the edge of it, the springs creaking under his weight. Patton giggled as he shut the door “Is it too cold?” he asked as he sat next to Janus, who nodded. “Way too cold.” “Well good thing you have me!” Patton smiled and wrapped his arms around Janus, pulling the both of them down so they were laying in bed.

Patton took a moment to pull his incredibly soft blankets on top of them, before looking at Janus “Do you wanna spoon or lay on top of me or just hug?” He held Janus’ hand momentarily while the freezing side thought. “Spoon, please.” He decided, turning over so his back was facing Patton, soon smiling at feeling strong arms wrap around his waist and pull him close.

“Alrighty!” Patton giggled, squeezing Janus briefly, who let out a pleased sigh. “This is much better…” He closed his eyes, finally relaxing as he warmed up. “Wonderful.” Morality smiled softly, lifting a hand to gently play with Janus’ hair. “Baby?” “Hm..?” “I’m happy you came to me when you needed me.” Janus smiled softly, taking Pattons other hand and bringing it to his lips, pressing a gentle kiss to his knuckles. “Me too, sunshine…”

Alright I'm already in love with the whole cold-blooded Janus fanon-turned-canon fact we've got, and I still absolutely love the fic potential it has for putting Janus in a position for hurt/comfort by making him cold and therefore sick, but listen...

What about the opposite?

When it's warmer outside, reptiles like to sunbathe and soak up as much heat as possible, especially since the warmer they are, the more energetic they become.

And since Thomas lives in Florida, there's likely to be lots more warm days than there are cold, so I'm just thinking about Janus lounging outside in the sun for half the day, and while everyone else is miserable from the heat he's all lively and chipper.

All the other sides are sweaty and tired and just generally hating life, and even Logan can't bring himself to get any work done with how humid and unpleasant the weather is even indoors, then there's Janus practically prancing around the place with a smile because for him this is the best day ever.

(I also headcanon that it's a main reason he wears all black. Aside from it being fashionable and fitting with his aesthetic, it also helps to attract and hold in heat, which he finds really useful.)

ummmm i didnt like the new episode but!! i got to make this so it doesnt matter

Thinking about Moceit and Janus being cold blooded.

Blankets don't help him stay warm which is annoying, but they do help if he's under a blanket /with/ someone and getting all cuddly and snuggly which he loves doing with Patton so it's okay. He has his own electric heat blanket that no one is allowed to touch though, even Patton.

Patton always makes sure the sides bundle up before going outside in cold weather, but obviously that doesn't help Janus. It makes Patton anxious that Janus just goes out in whatever he was wearing at the time but Janus has to remind Patton that it doesn't help anyway. Patton knitted Janus a scarf and a pair of mittens and had one of the twins enchant it to stay warm because he doesn't want Janus to be cold :(. Janus loves them a lot but in all honesty he never went out in cold weather /too/ much anyway, because he gets sluggish in the winter and would rather stay in.

Janus doesn't need to eat as much as the other sides because cold blooded creatures simply don't need as many calories. He treats himself to little snacks, of course, but he can only stomach a full meal about once every couple of weeks. When Janus started attending family dinners and only eating one or two bites Patton was very worried but Janus assured him that he was okay. When Janus declares he his hungry once a month Patton cooks up the most delicious dinner in the world ever bc he wants Janus to really be able to savor the nice meal.

sanders sides fandom is not dead!!! new video and we rise from the depths to be trending!!!

[nandysparadox]

i loved the new video i needed that

[part-time-zombie]

The latest sanders sides episode revealed that janus is canonically cold-blooded and noone else was doing anything with it so I had to write something myself because there's so much potential there

(No I haven't posted it yet, I'm still working on it...)

For reference mine was I was so mad at the canon ending for my favourite character in an otome game that I wrote fanfic to fix it

[constellama]

“Janus is scared of mongooses” “Janus hisses” “Janus is cold-blooded” “Janus sheds” I love every detail (canon or headcanon) about Janus having snake traits but have we considered. We could go even further. We could make this worse.

Janus eats mice. He just eats field mice. He swallows them whole and acts like nothing happened while the others stare at him in horror.

[moonbeam-dragon]

Hey so some people were talking about Janus saying cold-blooded. Some people were out of their minds that it was canon. I saw some others thinking it was a lie. I got bored and decided to ask Thomas.

So not only is it, yes, definitely canon, but Janus is shy about it.

Writers and artists, come get y'all's juice. I know I’m going to be writing about this for comfort this week.

@thatsthat24 Thanks again for answering my ask, Thomas!

WAIT I JUST REMEMBERED. last time they did a gift exchange Roman wrote Logan a full novel catered perfectly to his interests that Logan ended up cradling in his arms…. And this time Logan got Roman a crisp $20 bill 😭

Logan: I can’t believe Virgil only got me a newspaper 🥺 he thinks all I am is just ‘guy who reads’…this is such a generic gift.

Logan, seconds later: Roman here’s some cash sort your own gift out.

Assorted snake boy janus headcanons for no reason:

(turns out he's apparently canonically cold-blooded, sheds his scales, doesn't have pores, shape-shifts, and has a thing called "snake telepathy" and I'm running with this + using it in fics)

The light sides don't know about the telepathy thing, which makes private shit-talking sessions over breakfast so much fun. Virgil yells "say that to my face, asshole!" out of nowhere, meanwhile as far as the others are concerned janus hasn't said a word >:3

On particularly cold days, janus used to cozy up with virgil, and begrudgingly with remus after he left. Nowadays patton offers warm hugs if he asks, and janus doesn't really mind since he's the warmest side. (He still has a reputation to uphold, though)

Roman is constantly jealous of janus's clear skin, and janus always reminds him his routine is "unattainable", much to romans chagrin (the whole no pores thing)

Remus steals his shed skin, and janus has no idea what he does with it. Probably eats it. He doesn't want to know.

Logan always tries to subtly research/document janus's snake traits, and janus often makes stuff up just to screw the data. He once managed to convince him that the scales really were makeup all along, and the resulting breakdown that ensued will still make him laugh years later.

Sometimes he shape-shifts into another side just to see how long the others will notice. He even has a game where he shape-shifts into remus and has remus conjure a copy of himself, so that the other sides have to guess which of the three remus's is the real one. Only virgil has gotten it right, and that was one time.

Remus loves telling the others about janus's unhinged jaw, and how much food he can swallow without chewing. This is a lie. At least, that's what janus tells them.

Snakes actually can't drink alcohol. Translating this fact to janus makes him a ridiculous lightweight who suffers horrible hangovers.

Snakes also can't cry. The others don't know about this and just think he's too mean to cry about anything.

Janus sometimes falls asleep on the couch with his eyes open. The others then have to play a game of "sleeping, silent treatment, or lost in thought". Remus always knows which one it is.

Janus eats in the same routine as snakes, meaning he'll eat a huge buffet-sized meal like once a week and pass out for an hour afterwards. He won't eat anything for the rest of the week.

His room has a humidifier and a heat lamp. Remus often likes to steal these. He gives them back. Eventually...

Yes, he can smell by tasting things/the air. No, he won't do that.

COLD BLOODED JANUS CANON COLD BLOODED JANUS CANON

[the-cheese-slut]

Remus: Oh, Janus~

Remus: I’m cold, and I need a big strong man to warm me up~

Janus:

Janus: I am neither big, nor strong.

Remus: Fine, I need a small weak man to warm me up~

Janus: I’m cold blooded.

Remus: Just get in the fucking bed!

Janus:

Janus: fine.

[i-am-bitterly-jittery]

Look, I don’t care if you think Janus is cold-blooded or not, I just think it’s funny that so many people heard the sarcastic liar say “that is a scientific fact about me” and just assumed he was being honest there

Either Janus is cold-blooded and he’s just unimpressed that that’s the only thing Roman seems to know about him

Or Janus isn’t cold-blooded and he’s unimpressed that Roman just assumed he was because he has scales

[swhhdr-wthhr]

headcanon: because janus is cold blooded, he really likes hugging people for warmth. but virgil doesn't like physical affection and remus is always cold to the touch. so when patton hugs janus for the first time, it's the best thing he's ever experienced
