#its roman angst babyyyyy

[metaphysical-human-being]

Okay idk if this has been said yet but Roman being raised to be "the good twin" makes his actions in the newest video make a lot more sense.

Like, in SVS he was seen as horrible for siding with Janus. For even entertaining the thought of going to the call back and acting "selfishly" which is why he made Thomas go to the wedding.

So now in this video he makes does things to counteract his previous actions like:

Defend Patton against Deceit. Did anyone notice that whole "rights and wrongs! Should and shouldn'ts" line. Do you recognize it? Cus I think a certain father figure figment said something similiar in SVS

He also made fun of Deceits name. If he was raised as the "good twin" then he was raised knowing that the "dark sides" are wrong(his brother especially which is why he shouldn't be like him). Then he's shown that Virgil isn't but that doesn't mean that the others are good. The whole basis of how he was raised was kinda crumbling down around him(Deceit being trusted and accepted) and he lashed out. Trying to hold on to the few things he understood (much like Patton)

It also explains that one line....the one that kinda rubbed me the wrong way? It was;

"Did you forget that he's[Janus] evil! You're not! Or-you're not supposed to be! You're supposed to be good! You cant-"

I mean...switch it up a bit and

"Did you forget that he's [Remus] evil! I'm not! Or- I'm not supposed to be! I'm supposed to be good! I can't-"

Which, if you remember, was the response made to them after Janus not only called him Remus but he was basically told, by Thomas(and Janus) that he was no longer his hero. No longer...what he was supposed to be.

TL;DR: Romans life is crumbling and he doesn't know what to do anymore.
