Janus headcanons bc why not

He tried multiple times to peel his scales off using various methods, this includes but isn’t limited to burning and using a nail file.

Building off the last one, he sheds and his scales grow back, thus giving him hella scars under his scales.

Grows mushrooms under his bed. Not expected from him, but he does it.

Whenever bestie sheds, wherever he sheds has extreme pains that I want to say are like period cramps.

Extremely flexible. Uses this skill to his advantage. (Scaring the other sides and Thomas.)

Has a secret DND campaign that he one day will get the other sides to join. (Never gonna happen.)

He has emetophobia. Remus has took advantage of this.

Cold blooded. He is extremely cold all the time, thus grew the obsession with hot chocolate.

characters who see themselves as more of a Force or an abstract concept acting in the world than as a person. characters who prioritize their role as a cog in some greater mechanism over their own personhood. characters who get their hands dirty, who run themselves ragged, who take on an unbearable weight, who hurt or neglect or give up or straight-up betray the people and things they once held close, because they believe in doing so they are fulfilling their Purpose, the thing they exist in this world to do (and no one else will do it, *can* do it, so it has to be them). characters who've determined that they are constructs bound to preprogrammed code, to a script already written for them by someone/something else, and have been operating under that mindset for so long that they don't know how to live on their own terms. characters who uphold the fate that is smothering them. can anyone hear me

2025 Year of the Snake — Janus

[arkrow]

Logan is the only side who likes green apples and for ages begrudgingly ate the red ones they had in the fruit bowl until Virgil kind of realized and started getting green apples for him and they never talked about it but Logan noticed and that's what's important

[part-time-zombie]

Silly little headcanon that Janus and Virgil always accidentally end up doing the same thing without realizing it.

Janus is very private and doesn't like people snooping around in his stuff, so he writes his notes in a secret alphabet he came up with so no one could read it.

Virgil has a diary he hides in his room and worries about Remus or someone else finding it, so he's written it in his own invented code for good measure.

It's only when Virgil randomly looks over Janus' shoulder in the common room to see what he's writing that he realizes they're both using the SAME DAMN CODE.

They have similar taste in junk food and hide their preferred snack in the same spot where no one will look for it. They think they're the only one stocking it and get confused by how they run out so soon when they aren't eating it that much (the other side was eating it too because they thought it was theirs)

Janus is hungry late at night, and when he goes downstairs he catches Virgil already grabbing one of their snacks, which is when he finally figures it out.

About every other month one of them catches the other doing something they already do and it always ends up like this:

[loganslowdown4]

Roman: *throws a slice of cheese at Janus’ face*

Janus: What the fuck? What are you doing?

Virgil: Science, bitch!

Logan: You cannot claim something is science if you’re not using the scientific method and documenting your work.

Roman: *summons a worksheet* We are, nerd. It’s science.

Logan: *reading* What’s your control?

Virgil: What Janus is like when he doesn’t have cheese on his face-

Logan: Repeatability?

Roman: *throws another slice of cheese at Janus’ face*

Janus: Aahhh

Logan: Alright, I can find no other objectives. Carry on and turn in your results once finished.

Janus: I hate all of you.

Which instrument I think each side would play (and why)

because I'm a bored band kid who has plunged back into hyperfixation

Logan: Clarinet. It's sleek and professional. While flutes have the reputation for being perfectionists (and let's be clear, we are), clarinets are close behind. They're also one of the core instruments in a concert band, loathe as the other sections can be to admit it.

Roman: Trumpet. Loud and bold, constantly competing with the saxophones for dominance. If a trumpet plays even a little bit in a piece, you will hear it. There is absolutely no missing them.

Patton: I'm gonna place him over in the euphoniums. The low brass is the backbone of the band, and the goofballs too, but euphoniums tend to be a lot more.. tamed than trombones and tubas (at least in my band).

Virgil: Percussion. Everyone forgets about percussion, even the percussion. A lot of band class is spent with the percussion just chilling in the back half asleep while the other sections work out their issues, and that's just how they like it. Despite this, they are essential. Literally nobody would be able to keep tempo without them, even though they're supposed to be counting.

Janus: Flute. I say this as a flute player: pretentious ass bitch. Flutes like to pretend to be calm and collected, and are gracefully floating above the rest of the band. Despite this, they can be the most chaotic people… just not when the band director is watching. Pretentious perfectionist teachers pets (affectionate)

And finally… Remus: Alto saxophone. CONSTANTLY competing with the trumpets to be the biggest, loudest, most obnoxious section. Why did I put Remus on saxophone and Roman on trumpet as opposed to the other way around? Simple. Saxophones have reeds, and reed players hate changing their reeds. They will play on the most damaged reeds imaginable. A saxophone in the current senior class at my school literally played on half a reed for an entire six months. It was almost completely black from mold. They are TERRIFYING!

disclaimer this is all just for fun please be nice (': also if you play one of these instruments and I insulted your section I'm very sorry but this is all in good faith and I literally called myself a pretentious ass bitch so...

(if you're finding this through the sanders sides tag, please reblog this version with the latest updates!)

my uh- DRLAMP relationship headcanons-

it’s complicated

Don’t ask how mociet are divorced and married at the same time they just are

[sanders-sides-uncorrect-quotes]

Virgil falls asleep on the couch and later Janus sits next to him

While he's asleep he can't control his feelings so Virgil's body senses Janus near and recognises the safety and love that he provided him when they were younger so he unconsciously snuggles up to him in his sleep

Janus freezes and trembles slightly as his mind is taken over by memories of him being cuddled by 5-year-old Virgil all those years ago

He allows himself to enjoy the moment, but he's gone by the time Virgil wakes up, and he doesn't mention it ever (until he finds out that Remus watched the whole thing from the shadows)

[cheesesandwichbiter]

Thomas and the rest of the sides watching wicked and ‘What is this feeling’ comes on

Roman: very aggressively staring at Virgil

Virgil: what?

Roman: oh, nothing. Just goes back to aggressively staring at Virgil, squinting and all

Virgil: literally what?!-

This is a short one but I thought it was funny 😂

[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

[let-roman-bite-someone]

oh btw i study forensic science and there’s this neat little legal term called the “fruit of the poisonous tree”, referring to evidence that is illegally obtained. and idk why but i feel like this term is gonna come up in a future sanders sides video, it’s so janus-coded.

Why I think Holyghost is T4T

So we know Grace’s mother respects trans people as she uses Ziggs’s proper pronouns, so it’s not to much of a stretch they’d accept a trans daughter. Grace’s main colors are Pink, Blue, and White (the colors of the trans flag) to the point where she even colors her sign that way

We don’t know that much about Max’s personal life however we can peace some stuff together. We know he has a bad relationship with his dad referencing his dad calling him “a little cuck” maybe because he doesn’t accept him, his reference to Judas likely means his family is Christian only adding to it (obviously not all Christians are transphobes but a good amount of transphobes are Christian)

He seems to be friends with Steph or at least former friends, telling her to get behind him at the Old Waylon Place and offering to protect her. While obviously guys and girls can be friends they’re relationship to me at least reads as childhood girlfriends after one transitioned (from my own personal experience as a trans guy) Also adding to the betrayal and him calling her Judas.

And finally Max’s over performance of masculinity. Max is stereotypical toxic masculinity in human/ghost form. I think it at least started as overcompensating so people see him as a boy although soon after he just went mad with power. Pete mentions knowing him sense the fourth grade, Hatchetfield is a small town so while there are a few different schools a lot of the people at Hatchetfield High probably knew him before he transitioned and maybe even told the people who didn’t. It’s really hard to get people who knew you before you transitioned, especially cis people, to see you as your gender. So Max becomes the epitome of toxic masculinity, they have to see him as a guy now. Plus it’s pretty common for AFAB trans people to lean hard into masculinity at the start of their transition regardless of how they actually want to look.

Also us seeing Max shirtless doesn’t mean anything sense it’s all in Grace’s head, Grace might not even be aware Max is trans (after all who would tell her she doesn’t have friends)

Edit: I just remembered, Pete is hiding from Max in the boys bathroom, if Max is cis there’s no reason Pete would be safe there but if Max can only use the girls bathroom…

Hopefully this is the last fandom I'm going to be falling in this season

[part-time-zombie]

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.)

How the sides store their braincells:

Roman: in the fridge next to his pasta art

Virgil: in dark corner filled with dust

Logan: neatly stored on a shelf in display cases

Patton: in a big group hug in a get along t-shirt

Remus: on the side walk outside, in the sun, where they rot and fester

Janus: in a vault behind a painting that remus stole for him (it has a permanentmarker moustache)

Thomas: what braincells? The sides have them all
