NEW SANDERS SIDES SPOILERS!!!!!!

So, the new episode huh….

It’s 1am here and I have work in the morning so really can’t do an essay now (May tomorrow after work) so I’ll just get what’s needed out of my system right now.

HOLY FUCK MY FAVOURITE THEORY OF ALL TIME IS NOW CANON WITH ANGRY ORANGE SIDE LOGAN I MEAN IT MAY NOT BE ALL THE WAY TRUE BUT WHAT WE DID SEE HAS ME SCREAMING CUS AAAAGGGGHHHHHHH I’VE BEEN DRAWING ORANGE ANGRY LOGAN SINCE I GOT BACK INTO THE SERIES MAY LAST YEAR AND I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT SO MUUUCCCHHHH THOUGH IT ALSO CAUSES ME PAIN AND MAKES ME SCARED AND SAD CAUSE I DONT WANT LOGAN TO HURT OR HURT OTHERS AASDKSOWDHWODHDKSKW

Anyways there’s more I’d like to unpack with this episode past my unholy Logan screeching, such as Remus this episode. Sure, a lot of his stuff was cheesy and over the top, but I do think there was a reason behind his nuisance behaviour. Let’s face it; Remus probably isn’t having the best time, with the other known dark sides all being accepted by at least some of the lights and Thomas, while our poor rat man is being left behind. While playing it up more dramatically than necessary (I snorted pretty badly at the whole dunce-singing-paddle bit), this could of been Remus having an almost-tantrum for attention, hence in the end he gets all sulky and ignores Logan in a childish but Remus-ish manner.

And with how excited Remus gets at Logan’s outburst? Sure, that could just be him enjoying chaos as he usually does…or he could be happy to have learnt that maybe he’s not as alone as a dark side as he thought he was…

(Then again this could all just be me overthinking as I usually do)

Finally we have the other’s interactions at the end, which were…tense, to say the least. It’s sad to see that Roman and Virgil are still annoyed at Patton despite him really trying to act like everything’s fine, and all of them still shutting down Logan…boy…

Small side note: Roman…I’m still worried about you. A lot. I saw some comments of people believing and questioning why Janus and Remus may believe Nico is bad for Thomas right now, and I think Roman captures why perfectly: he is once again ignoring all his problems that he should be tackling in order to actually help Thomas by insisting that romance comes first and putting all his focus on that rather than himself or the other sides. Essentially he is using love as a band aid to cover up and gloss over all Thomas’ underlying problems, which will inevitably not be enough without Thomas and the sides helping themselves, leading to a big downfall which will probably be present in the finale / next episode.

Then there was Janus in that last moment, which has me worried… not because him saying things are fine inherently means they’re not, cause that was already obvious, but because it means there’s a chance that he’s still plotting…something, which as a sympathetic Janus believer and stan I’m not sure my heart could take. I just really, really hope the snake boi isn’t still playing the villain and is instead just stating what he knows from being a side more closely linked to the harsh truths hidden in the subconscious.

So…this kind of became a mini essay anyways, didn’t it?😅 I guess I should just wrap up by saying how impressed I was by the episode, with the editing and production quality being way up, from the new shooting angles and taking advantage of other spaces to fill. And the amount of well used effects…it’s amazing to see how far this series has come!!!

I can’t wait to see where things go next, and considering Thomas has said on his Insta story that the next episode is the season finale and looking at where the plot is now….I’m fricking HYPED to see how the sides and Thomas are going to solve their current mountains of dilemmas!!!
