Virgil: *exists*

Thomas: It’s free real estate

I mean he's the most marketable character.

Already answered Joan in another ask so let's see what this one is...

Princey- Do you have a favorite moment (or a few favorite moments) from the series? Tell us about them!

As much as I give Putting Others First a lot of crap, I think the whole scene with Lilypadton and Janus confronting him was really well done. Janus revealing himself, the music, and everything that followed was really solid.

Unfortunately I can't fully enjoy it without thinking of all my other problems with the episode so darn my brain for not being able to shut off and just enjoy the thing.

I love Roman's speech to Virgil in Accepting Anxiety part 2, no complaints there.

The entire 12 Days of Christmas episode is just a lot of fun, but especially the song and watching all the characters interacting is gold.

Remus's introduction was great (even though I think he was introduced way too soon but that's a topic for another day)

There's a lot of little subtle moments in the series that I love as well, but since there are so many I'll just got with my favorite one which is Logan throwing the paper ball at Roman and his reaction afterwards.

Gotta commend Thomas's acting here because that's the main reason why I love it so much. Logan goes from angry, to surprised, to scared, then back to calm in such a short span of time and you can see all of it happen and I'm a sucker for Logan being angsty so I'm biased

I don’t know why the last video was an asides. It was a full length, story important video that you shouldn’t miss if you want to follow the story (they even said that). Why calling it asides? What was the whole asides thing for? They just, they just make normal videos and call them different. It’s so stupid, sorry but the whole asides concept is so stupid.

I feel you on this one. When they first announced the idea for Asides I thought they’d be like some of the episodes in season one. Basically 5 minutes of filler that you don’t need to watch to understand the full story. In other words, optional videos that can be enjoyed on their own. I figured these would be more lighthearted and give us a break from all the angst in the main series. Then the first Asides came out and it was 20 minutes long and filled with angst and was really no different from an actual Sanders Sides episode. 

This newest one confuses me even more because, like you said, it’s necessary to view this one in order to understand the main story. So why is it an Asides? I honestly don’t get the concept when so far both Asides have taken just as long to produce as main episodes and are just as important to the plot. They should either drop the idea altogether and just continue to series as one thing or actually make something different like they said they would because so far the only difference between Sanders Sides and Asides is that character Thomas doesn’t do his usual greeting and send-off at the beginning and end of these episodes.

Official “Welcome to my Blog” Post

As stated above, this is the post where I welcome you to my blog and explain how it all works. Formerly, this was meant to be an “Unpopular Opinions” blog, and while it technically still is I wanted to broaden my horizons a bit. While unpopular opinions will most likely still be a thing I wanted to also provide some other content as well, things others can enjoy that aren’t always negative because, lately, I think there’s been too much of that going around. However! It is important to have a venting space (in my own humble opinion) which is why I will still be accepting any unpopular opinions sent via asks. The only difference is that I won’t really reply to them unless they cover a topic I want to address, which I will then save for an actual full length post instead of a short and not very well thought out response.

With that being said, to help keep things more organized I have come up with a little tagging system for my future posts (this system does not apply to old posts) these tags are as follows:

#dukeofannouncements (Important announcements)

#dukeofasks (The tag for all asks) 

#dukeoftheories (Theory and analysis posts)

#dukeofcritical (Critical posts critiquing things in a mature manner)

#dukeofrants (Critical posts critiquing things in an immature manner, these posts will most likely be deleted later unless I’m too lazy to go back and do so) 

#dukeofreblogs (Used for reblogging my own posts that others may have added onto or reblogs of other critical posts that I agree with or want to discuss)

#dukeoframbles (Just little musings from my mind, usually more lighthearted while still relating to blog content or just my daily life)

#dukeofwritings (for any creative writing I might happen to post onto here)

And if there is ever anything you specifically need tagged on a post feel free to let me know and I'll include it. And if I ever do a series of posts I'll create a specific tag just for that.

And that is the gist of it! I hope you enjoy your time on my blog and I hope I can actually start producing some quality content.

janus rant anon here! i 100% agree with you regarding the rushing of the new sides, and tbh i feel like the orange side will be the same case whenever we meet him, either that or he’ll become two-dimensional. also, i went back and read your POF janus post from may, and while i guess him putting up a facade could be plausible, i find it hard to believe that deceit “you could be rid of us all” sanders could pretend to be uwu nice snake boi. but tbh who knows where this series is going anyways.

I almost forgot about my "conspiracy theory" about Janus in that post. While I think it's unlikely it'll happen I do think it'd be possible for Janus to put on an act like that to get what he wants. He succeeded pretty well pretending to be Patton in Can Lying Be Good? so why not now?

Then again I don't know if the writers would actually pull something like that off. His character has pretty much gone off the rails so I'm not sure how (or if) they'll ever get him back on track.

So I'm currently on the hunt for a new laptop because mine is old and I just need an upgrade. Problem is, I don't know exactly what to look for. The main things I'd be wanting a laptop for would be writing, drawing/animation, and video editing.

If anyone has some recommendations or just tips for buying laptops in general I would love to hear them because I finally have motivation to get work done and my laptop (which is a chromebook) is giving up on me.

One other thing, I'd like for whatever laptop I get to include Google docs because I have all my writing projects on there and don't want to lose them. I'm not entirely sure how Google docs works across different laptops but hey, that's why I'm asking for advice.
