ok not to engage with sanders sides on main but anyways:Β when i see people who really, actually do believe that canonverse logan should βbecome a dark side and go apeshitβ, it kind of makes me realize that none of you like. actually know 1. his character and 2. his conflict
like, not to be overdramatic, but literally everyone in canonverse sanders sides has had beef with logan at some point.
like, the light sides donβt like it when they dont give them the answers they like (and plus theyβve repeatedly clowned on him (roman especially)), janus impersonated and silenced him multiple times, remus probably fuckin hates the dude since heβs the only one who can put him in his place,
like, if iβm being honest, the only one who probably hasnβt outright hated logan at any point is virgil, and even then theyβd still argue at some point because like. letβs be honest, virgil and logan do directly counter each other at the point.
everyone, not just the light sides, but EVERYONE, is uncomfortable with logan at some point. when youβre in an environment like that, you donβt just lash out. you donβtΒ βgo apeshitβ and you donβt try to pick sides(pun not intended) with that sort of shit.
you shut yourself in. you force everyone out and you seclude yourself from everyone because the only person who hasnβt hurt you is you.
itβs not the breakdown that we see from roman and virgil. itβs not aΒ βi thought i was your heroβ or aΒ βi was one of themβ. but itβs still a breakdown. just slower. less noticeable.
not a lightning flash.
a slow, slow flood.
and the saddest part of it all is that no one notices, because he doesnβt express himself in the way that other people do. he doesnβt emote like he used to anymore because he got mocked for it, and he got rid of it as a survival tactic. but now that he doesnβt emote or show anything about how he really is, they donβt know how heβs doing.
and they never check in like they do with the others because, unfortunately, thereβs sort of a part of all of them that donβtβ¦ really care how loganβs doing. i mean, look at the line from the puzzle song:
βno one wants to be a joke-β
βbut a life without jokes is incompleteβ
iβm not gonna include virgil in this because i watched the scene over and over again, and virgil was clearly taken aback by the line, so he clearly didnβt expect it. he was interrupted by character thomas, patton, and roman. so the latter three all acknowledge that yes, they do treat logan like a joke, and then they continue to do it.
and thatβs fucked up! that is some fucked up shit that they said to logan! and it bothered me from the moment the song came out that everyone treated that line like it was NORMAL, because itβs not! that is a blatant normalization of their mistreatment of logan, and thatβs fucked up!
and to be honest, i thought svs:r was going to be the thing that made everyone realize it? as the story progresses, we see logan distancing himself more and more from, well, everyone to the point where heβs not even physicallyΒ present anymore. but i guess everyone else, just like all of the other sides, didnβt really get that.
by the way, this isnβt me saying that all the sides are terrible and me saying that i think that all of them are canonically unsympathetic and that logan is free from all wrongdoing. theyβre not, heβs not, and they shouldnβt be. theyβre flawed, incomplete sides of one single person, that wouldnβt make any logical sense. iβm just a dumb logan fan that wants better for him, and iβm incoherently writing long posts at mignight about how much i want that for him.Β
anyways i hope this is coherent enough to read later bc im tired and iβm not going to proofread this iβm just gonna send it in queue and hope that you all can understand me.Β ill talk about how much i love logan and virgliβs interactions in the series later. maybe. depends on how yβall are like when i post this.
