NAME IMPORTANCE IN SANDERS SIDES

Guysssss, I just realised something and it might have already been talked about but I couldn't find anything so I'm writing it now. So, we all know about the name reveals in Sanders Sides, their meanings and their importance, but I was casually watching through the series again when in Selfishness VS Selflessness I realised something that I have been noticing before but not knowing why. The moment Deceit, Janus, talks to Anxiety, Virgil, and brings up Virgil's reluctance to share his name. And that scene has always stood out to me in someway but now I finally realised why. Because Janus lied. It's not something new, he's literally Deceit, BUT it's what he's lying about that is important.

Janus: "Oh, so you've never been reluctant to share anything with the group then?"

Virgil: "Don't"

Janus: "What? I just meant your name"

Virgil: "DON'T!"

JANUS IS LYING YET BEING TRUTHFUL ABOUT HIS RESPONSE!!! THAT'S THE BEST WAY TO LIE, TO ALSO BE TRUTHFUL!

We may think, even assume, that Janus is talking about Virgil not telling his name to Thomas for a long time before finally revealing his name to be Virgil. BUT Virgil's reaction is too emotional, too strong, too desperate to be only about that. It's more like he's pleading Janus not to reveal something. And it would be ignorant not to include the fact that there's A LOT of theories about when Virgil was a "dark side" he was not Anxiety but Paranoia.

And now to the point I wanted to talk about. Names, their meanings and their importance. So let me list their names in chronological order they were revealed so you can see them clearly.

Logan

Roman

Patton

Virgil

Remus

Janus

And of course the orange side we do not know of yet. But look closely at the list of names. And do you remember what Patton said when Virgil revealed his name? "Huh, but that doesn't end with a -N"

And now look at the "dark sides" and their names. They end with -US. Do you see the the name that doesn't really fit in?

VIRGIL

AND I BELIEVE THAT IS BECAUSE IT'S NOT HIS "REAL" OR "TRUE" NAME BUT CHOSEN NAME!! Virgil means protector, that is what Virgil want to be for Thomas! Virgil doesn't want to be Paranoia, he doesn't want to be the bad guy. HE WANTS TO BE A PROTECTOR! And that is why he chose that name!

AND THAT'S NOT ALL!

Let's look at the name etymology here too!!

For the "Good sides" their names correspond with Aristotle's ingredients for persuasion, albeit Roman's name is not visibly linked to its correspondence like the others.

Logan - Logos

Roman - Ethos (Roman being the side with charm and scene presence)

Patton - Pathos

And now for the "Dark sides" we know of. Their names are derived from roman mythology.

Remus - Twin brother of Romulus, the founder of Rome which corresponds Remus being Roman's twin, since Roman's name is basically taken from the ROMAN EMPIRE as well as Romance and all. Plus it also places great significance that Remus is only an offshot of Roman, without Roman, Remus would not exist and therefore his name corresponds to "the twin brother of the great mythological founder of ROME"

Janus - God of doorways, duality, gates, passages, beginnings and endings, always depicted as two-faced. Two-faced=Deceitful

AND WHAT ABOUT VIRGIL'S NAME? DOES HIS NAME FIT INTO THESE CATEGORIES? NO! VIRGIL IS NOT FROM ROMAN MYTHOLOGY NOR ARISTOTLE'S PERSUASION! IT'S A SIMPLE ROMAN NAME, THE MOST WE CAN FIND IS THAT AN ANCIENT ROMAN POET HAD THE NAME VIRGIL. WHICH IN ALL HONESTY FITS ROMAN SANDERS MORE THAN VIRGIL. AND I BELIEVE IT'S BECAUSE DESPITE EVERYTHING VIRGIL WANTS TO KINDA BE LIKE ROMAN TO THOMAS, HIS HERO. ROMAN IS THOMAS' HERO AND VIRGIL WANTS TO BE THOMAS' PROTECTOR, HIS HERO!

SO IN CONCLUSION... I think Virgil's name is not the name he had before or his "true" name. It is his chosen name and that is what he wants to be. That's why it's different from the other sides' names. That's why Virgil has been so sensitive when Janus brought up his name and why Virgil has been sensitive about being called paranoid. Because that's basically someone he has been and not someone he wants to be. It's almost like being called by his dead-name. And this just makes me want to hug Virgil even more, feed him spider-shaped cookies, give him some calming tea and just.. be there

Wanna hear about this dream I had?

Well, it takes place in this old industrial town that can almost be described as a ghost town except for two very large families. These two families can be best described as two different Addams families, wealth, eccentricities, goth aesthetics, affinity for violence, all that. Although these two families are much more violent than the original Addamses. One of the families is Italian, and it shows in their gothness. They can almost be described as Goth Mafia. The other family is French and that shows in their particular goth aesthetic as well. Their house for example resembles an old French cathedral, just with more torture devices (French in nature as well). Now, if these families were like the original Addams family, they would embrace each others differences and happily discuss their shared preferences. BUT these two families are mortal enemies and constantly try to kill each other! Never really succeeding of course, because of their unkillable and eccentric natures. At one point the two families cars pass each other on the street, and immediately The Goth Mafia starts bringing out their comically numerous guns and starts chasing The French Goths in a car chase. But The French's car is this comically and honestly amazing large limousine/hearse, that just with a stick changes so they lie down in a largelike coffin, making the gunshots fly over them. Their driver on the other hand is still in the driver's seat, the bullets cushioning into him and just pilling up around him as he drives recklessly around town.

Both families are also led by a matriarch, Goth Nonna and Goth Mère. G-Nonna is strict, harsh and unusually quiet, only really speaking up when she has had enough and you know that's not a good sign. She often just focus on feeding the family and upholding family traditions, letting her son lead the family most of the time. But don't be mistaken, she is the one who has all the control. Then there's G-Mère. It's one of the running jokes and mysteries of the story that no one really knows her true age and how she is related to the family. She just has always been in control and always just been Mère. But she does let one of the mothers in the family take center stage often. That certain mother has two kids, a girl and a boy, but seemingly no husband. She is also around the same age as the male "leader" of the G-Mafia, who also has kids but seemingly no wife. He has five kids, four boys and one girl, the girl being the youngest.

There's small signs that the French mother's adolescent daughter and Mafia leader's son around the same age both has crushes on each other.

[deepred00]

At one moment the French leader stands in his goth nightgown on the balcony to the master bedroom and curses the Mafia for destroying her beautiful balcony doors and parts of the walls. She stands there in the middle of the rain storm, the strong wind blowing in her dark hair and gown as she yells

"Connard! How dare you ruin such a beautiful day?! Va te faire foutre!!"

And the male leader shouting back from somewhere we can't see

"Suca!"

The people who police your gender will police your gender even if you're cis.

Eat them.

"OH those body builder women with pancake breasts arent-" eat them.

"This woman has a beard, thats not-" eat them.

"That man has a baby face, that's not" - eat them with barbecue sauce.

Y'all this is a piece of history right here. Every single time you see a reference to a "shovel talk" in fic, defined here as "someone threatening harm to a potential romantic partner of a friend/loved one," it's referencing this scene. This scene specifically. Everywhere else that is not fannish internet, that interaction is referred to a "shotgun talk," referencing the father threatening a daughter's boyfriend with a shotgun. This scene gave a lot of people a chance to reframe that interaction in terms of a protective friend rather than a possessive father, which for a lot of obvious reasons resonated with people a whole fucking lot, and it immediately spread like wildfire into fannish and then general internet lexicon. I've seen people try and backronym it into an extension of the shotgun talk, as in, "I've got a shotgun and a shovel to bury you with," but I've asked a lot of rednecks from a lot of different necks of the woods and no one has ever encountered that variant in brickspace life. It's all Buffy, babey. This shit is linguistic history in the making.

Fanfic writer rant

I really wanna write and update my years long fanfiction, but I don't really know how to continue the story right now.... It's not that I'm done with it, it's just I'm not sure how to get to the next phase.... And sadly I don't really have the energy to actually write right now either... Haaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh, I feel so bad that I haven't updated in so long and when I do it's like months in between chapters.... But I still really wanna write it until it's completely finished... I just don't know how to become better at this...

......rant about masks incoming......

So little background, when I go out in public I almost always wear a face mask. I do not have anything that can be spread to others (I do have LongCovid tho) but I really like having a mask on. It has become somewhat of an accessory for me (I usually only use black fabric masks), as well as helping me with my social anxiety. The health and hygiene aspect is honestly secondary to me.

But where I live NOBODY uses masks! They barely used any during the height of the pandemic (don't try to tell me the pandemic is over) So I've gotten used to glances and looks, but overall people just mind their own. My family on the other hand is embarrassed to be seen walking with me when I have my mask on, and they have told me several times to stop it. I don't.

But today's event was so infuriating! I was on a day trip to Ikea (I've moved) and like always I wear my mask. The shopping went really good, I even saw another person wearing a mask (typical blue one), but when I went to the restaurant.... Oh boy how I regret eating there. Like always the line was packed and long, so I stood there patiently waiting for my turn. I did feel my anxiety becoming worse standing in a packed line, but by the power of the face mask I didn't have an anxiety attack. Instead I felt someone staring at me, but not like the usual stares. This was full on malicious. And I have never had that happen before! Judging stares, yes, curious stares, yes, stares just cause it's not an usual sight, all the time! Now, because there were so many people around me, I couldn't pick out exactly who were staring at me, but it felt like a group, or maybe a couple. Either way, it's horrible to have someone actually stare daggers at you, especially if that someone is a stranger. And the worst part was that I couldn't get away! I was stuck in a packed queue with these hateful glares during the whole waiting time! In the moment I didn't know if I wanted to dissappear or pick a fight with the people staring at me. Like why in the hell do you care if I use a mask?! How rude can you be??But at the same time I started to wish I never used my mask in the first place, and started to wonder if I was in the wrong.

Now, I need to address that me wearing a mask don't need to be the cause of their glaring. But why else were they glaring at me? I can't think of any other reason, cause I know that there were no one there I knew and it was none of my line neighbours, so it wasn't something like I did. When it started I was just standing in line like everyone else around me.

Should I stop wearing my mask all together? I still feel bad after this encounter...

What did I do to deserve such hateful stares??! It was almost like I was was a bug that had killed their dog or something. Even if they thought I was sick and went around in public spreading it, wouldn't me wearing a mask help minimize the spreading?? And there are lots of people walking around with no masks on WHILE knowing they are sick and infectious! Me wearing a mask is for myself, my health and well-being! I don't deserve getting such hateful glares simply because of a little cloth covering half of my face.... But it still feels like it was all my fault...

So I had these bits of a qoute in stuck my head (you know where you don't remember the full word for word but remember the overall message and atmosphere). I was so frustrated because I couldn't for the life of me remember where it was from! And the words that would help me remember where it was from was the words I forgot!!

It was this really tense and suspenseful moment where the villain had just revealed themselves to the hero that had fallen into their trap. And it was in this moment that while the hero talked he realized that what he had fought for was already in the hands of the villain. (Through the villain scheming) And as the hero's light snuffs out, the villain mocks him in this horrifying way for realizing it all by himself.

Incredible moment in the story, right?

Well.... I just remembered where it's from.

And it's this moment between these knuckleheads from a shit show on YouTube called Puppet History

For goodness sake PLEASE watch Puppet History from Watcher Entertainment! I'm BEGGING you! It truly is a masterpiece!
