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

YOUNG SIDES HEAD CANONS

Patton: oldest, acts like the boss, i feel it would be funny if he still had the "i'm the dad" bit even when he was little.

Janus: second oldest, didn't get his snake face until he got a bit older, little leader of the darkisde(probs calls himself "boss" or "manager" or something like that lol)

Logan: third oldest, curious little dude, reads stories with ro and cooks with patton

Roman: younger than logan and same age as remus but usually refers to himself as the older brother, wears a red bandana thingy to help tell the difference between him and his brother(was needed more when him and remus were newer/younger and before they discovered more of their own styles etc), struggles with what he wants to be so tends to change up his look a lot

Remus: lets roman call himself older cuz he doesn't care, has a green version of the bandana thingy, weird little boy, likes finding little dead things, likes making people things(they usually get thrown away), definitely has problems controlling his emotions(temper tantrums, acting violent when he's upset, etc)

Virgil: youngest, anxious mess, easily scared, him and Remus like to pull pranks on people(especially on roman)

dark sides are all stinky boys

also Roman and Remus have scars on their sides from the split (Roman has one on his right and Remus' is on his left side)

2025 Year of the Snake — Janus

[sanders-sides-uncorrect-quotes]

Headcanon: Janus, Remus, Virgil and Orange all have really good night vision so their side of the mindpalace is almost pitch black to anyone else, and bright lights hurt their eyes alot more

[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.

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:

[ravenlikesbooks]

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

[enigmasalad]

CAN THE SIDES COOK OR BAKE HEADCANNONS:

Patton: Yes and no. Patton is ultimately unpredictable in the kitchen. He makes a lot of homey food or packaged food like a stereotypical parent does. He can make a mean casserole but uh…as long as he doesn’t forget it’s in there. He can make cookies…but cakes always end up looking like a hot mess. He can make a smoothie…but he forgot to put the lid on the blender and now Logans cleaning strawberry and banana off of the ceiling.

Logan: The answer is..well…kinda. Cooking is a science and baking is an exact science. However he views anything other than crofters as just a means of sustaining the body. He rarely cooks let alone bakes. However he can make fish really well, and bread. He’s even attempted a soufflé with Janus and Patton before and after a few tries it works out. You can get him to cook if you can get him to stop working (That is until he learns about Molecular Gastronomy).

Roman: NO. Roman can’t cook besides making a sandwich. His version of baking is putting a poptart in the toaster. And you know what? That’s ok. He doesn’t want to get messy. He doesn’t understand why adding something so elegant like Truffles is wrong to put in a pancake. He’s just being creative! Let him be creative! Before you know it your spices are gone. Also the Mac n cheese is black. He forgot about it arguing with his brother.

Virgil: Yeah he can cook. Does he do it often? Meh. Does he like doing it? Depends. During his time in the dark side he’s learn to make fresh pasta sauces and how to pump up instant ramen or adding breadcrumbs to Mac n cheese. However with the light sides he’s learned how to make fresh pasta, or how to make a pretty good stir-fry. Sometimes it’s meditative for him. Other times it’s too stressful and he orders Thai food for everyone. Can he bake? NO.

Janus: Janus has gotten good at cooking and baking over the years. He’s gone from instant noodles and grilled cheese to more complex and elegant dishes (at least he thinks so). And he can actually bake! Macarons, cake, Brownies you name it! He can do it. But uh…he’s a bit of a snob about it. And you can NOT be in the kitchen with him if he’s cooking unless you’re sitting in a chair and not TOUCHING ANYTHING REMUS….or you’re gossiping with him.

Remus: Can Remus cook? No. Can he bake? No. Does he try? Yes. Is it edible? Uncertain. Why is it glowing? I don’t know. Why are there tentacles? I don’t know.

[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 😂

[nightmare-masquerade]

little earring headcanons or whatever

Patton of course has a little heart.

Logan's basic, so he just has a little black stud thing or whatever the fuck they're called.

Roman, the extra boy he is, gets a diamond made of diamond.

Janus has a little diamond stud thing.

Virge gets this little loop thing cuz he's emo.

and Remus gets a spade made of obsidian.

[swhhdr-wthhr]

one headcanon i have about sanders sides that i think is perfectly plausible but is never directly confirmed by the show is that a lot of the time when patton says stupid childish stuff—like that babies come from storks or that he eats play doh—he's actually joking. but none of the other sides or thomas understand that it's a joke and he just lets them believe that it's not

also part of it probably comes from the lack of fourth wall that this show has. he knows kids watch sanders sides and he's trying to make it age appropriate

[sanders-sides-uncorrect-quotes]

Headcanon that has forced its way into my belief system in the past couple days:

Pre canon, Janus and Virgil used to be the ones who made dinner for themselves and the other two because they were the most sane

The problem was that almost every single time Remus would try and sneak into the kitchen and put rat poison, asbestos, bleach, or some other deadly shit into the food just for funsies. Not as a murder attempt, he's actually trying to get the plate with the most rat poison on for himself

Because of this, Janus and Virgil adapted to find the perfect way to keep Remus away from a pot of food and distract him for long enough for it to be served

Janus and Virgil bonded alot over this

TL;Dr: Remus wants to show his friends how good of a seasoning asbestos and rat poison are but they're not open to new experiences

[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.
