With how things have been going in the series, it makes sense that one of the most commonly reoccurring predictions fans would have is that Logan will likely attempt to duck out in an upcoming episode. While that theory does seem very likely, I feel like I have to point out...
He's Already Trying
Starting as early as SvS, Logan has been explicitly excluded from the conversation in a way that had become impossible for him to ignore.
In fact, he only got involved in the first place when Janus summoned him, only to be immediately set aside once he had made his point (suggesting that had Janus not done so Logan wouldn't have shown up at al).
He was, naturally, upset by this since he does clearly desire to be included, but he tried to acclimate by adjusting his future involvement via the Lowdowns.
His motivations appeared sound, if a little sad, because he stated that this alternative stems from his inability to provide proper advice about the topic at hand.
All that got him was being further ignored by the others and completely evicted from the conversation by Janus.
And now, more and more, he doesn't even seem interested in showing up on his own lately.
Roman had to directly summon/trick him in order to get him involved, because otherwise he wouldn't have even shown up.
Roman wanted answers for the other sides' behavior, so he calls in Logan. But both times this has happened Logan has clearly been displeased about the whole thing, even throwing a dour "what do you need?" at Roman instead of any concern or intrigue.
(This applies for DWIT just as much as it does for this last episode, since the same exact thing happened at the start of both episodes)
And I've noticed that in these past couple of episodes, Logan has seemed increasingly uninterested or unwilling to participate in their discussions. He's always been the first to leave, the last to arrive, and usually forcefully involved via another side summoning him. And then, even when he engages with the topic at hand, he seems resigned and really just... tired.
Hell, this last episode was themed around Doctor Who, one of his favorite things, and yet he rarely showed any real enthusiasm or enjoyment. Sure, he was more agreeable when the idea was brought up, but he didn't show the same excitement he has in the past about his interests (i.e., Sherlock and Crofters).
He acts like he's going through the motions more than anything, like he's no longer interested in what happens next.
He's trying to stay out of it, has been for a while, and only voluntarily shows up and involves himself when it's his idea, like the Secret Santa and the (unsuccessful) cleaning venture in WTIT.
Logan stated in Moving On that as a manifestation of c!thomas' logic, he can't fully leave the picture, but it's clear by now that he wishes he could.
THAT EPISODE WAS AMAZING!!! I had to draw something for it because I haven't felt that hyped about something in forever. It had me grinning like an idiot, on the edge of my seat, it touched my heart, the whole shebang.
It was so cool to see Janus really spending time with the core four, watching how he adds to and changes up the dynamic... his sass is 👌Also, Alex Rupp did a FANTASTIC job playing young Thomas and the Sides, I enjoyed his performance so much!! And I love watching the overarching plot with Nico unfold alongside the arcs of the individual sides, especially whatever's happening with Logan?? AKSDFHLGHKS THIS WHOLE VID WAS SO EXCITING.
Anyway this episode immediately made it into one of my top fives easily. I’m so excited to see where the series goes... huge kudos to Thomas, the team, and the writers room, this episode was awesome.

look at Logan here and everyone's reaction to his "logic" in this scene:
all the other emotions are horrified by Logan's way of thinking here, but it is a trap that can affect anyone. when you've been through repeated instances of unjust treatment, pain or trauma (like all of those relationships ending poorly for Thomas), you might start to believe that logically you should expect pain, and should act accordingly 💔
to Logan, logic dictates that Thomas is the common denominator in all of the pain, and he should remove himself from the equation to prevent future harm. Logan isn't convinced by the arguments of the other Sides by the end of the episode, but he acquiesces because he acknowledges the others are experts in matters of the heart. based on this, i think the relationship with Nico is going to end badly, and that is how we're going to get our final side.
i think that Nico and Thomas will either break up explosively, or even if it's amicable, the pain of the breakup will be enough for Logan to 'justify' any furious or hurt response he has as rational, when he's actually experiencing a cognitive distortion. he's Logic, therefore he can't possibly be wrong, and he'll have just received another result confirming his hypothesis: that Thomas isn't suited for love and keeps opening himself up to pain. that flash of orange in Logan's eyes is a side almost always repressed by Logic.
i think this is how we're going to get our final side: Rage 🔥🔥🔥
moceit this episode was like what if i stole your face so often it was habit, that profound of a violation being habit. what if i knew how to mimic you so perfectly but there were still, always, idiosyncrasies of you i could never get just right. what if i subtly avoided you through being you. what if i feared you and i loved you. and what if you were still the first person to accept me. and you followed me around like a puppy.
and patton says, what if i forgave you for it. as long as you tried to change. and what if im the only person who trusts you, who takes your words too heart. even though you exemplify what i hate most in myself, selfishness, and you rail against what i want to be, a moral beacon. im going to treat you with kindness because you stopped me from making a terrible mistake. im still grateful. thank you.
Sanders Sides fandom getting together. old mutuals reuniting. people i havent seen in my reblogs in years appearing again. This is like a highschool reunion
For @darksideweeks Janus' week! I've had the draft thumbnails for this comic sitting pretty for three years and today's prompt was PERFECT for me to blow off the dust and actually draw it!
(I have many ideas of how Janus shared his name with Remus but this is by far the funniest.)

Janus: I... ...I would like to tell you...
[Whole page panel with Janus at the forefront, his back to the viewer and his arms crossed behind his back, he is facing Remus. Remus is sitting on a purple couch, concentrating on reaching a book.]
[Bottom left panel. Remus looks up in surprise.] [Bottom right panel. Remus is looking intently at Janus with both hands pressed together in front of his mouth, there is a green text box with an arrow pointing to Remus that says, "Not saying a word because he genuinely wants to know."]
Page 2: [The panels of this page are bordered with yellow with faded text that reads, "HE'S GOING TO LAUGH" over and over.]
[Top panel. Profile shot of Janus' torso, going from neck to waist, he is facing to the viewers left. His arms are out in front of him and is taking off his right glove.]
[Middle panel. Closer shot of his right hand, it is now ungloved.]
Janus: My name...
[Bottom panel. Closeup shot of the lower half of Janus' face, teeth bared and his hand close to his mouth.]
Page 3: [Whole page panel of a bust shot of Janus, he is grinning widely, his expression cheeky and is pressing the length of his pointer finger against the space between his upper lip and nose. There is a mustache drawn on the finger.]
Janus: Is REMUS!
[Bottom panel. Janus and Remus stare at each other in silence.]
Page 4: [Top panel. Janus and Remus burst into laughter, there is yellow and green "HA HA"'s written around them, with green text of Remus saying, "You silly bitch!" to Janus.]
[Whole page panel. The laughter from the top panel trickles down the middle of the page. Janus is now sitting with Remus on the couch, he peeks one eye open at him, still smiling.]
janus is objectively the hottest side because how does he have chemistry with EVERYONE. this man is casually walking around with a jilted ex he still has crazy tension with, a homoerotic enemy only he understands, a loving husband, an intellectual match, and a feral bastard who wants him carnally. no one is doing it like him
