So about Janus. Ppl, myself included, see him as a very elegant character cause he is, but I can't help but think that he also is very, very self-defense-oriented.

You know. Just thoughts about this elegant character who won't raise his sword gracefully, he'll throw sand in your eyes, he'll ignore the rules, and he'll shoot without waiting for "three, two, one". In the dirt, covered in blood, he will continue to gnaw and bite if that's all he has left.

Logan would make the most logical concession, and if that meant giving up, he would give up. Patton will decide it's time to surrender when he sees that his only hope is defeat with a smile on his face. Roman will surrender with his head held high, unpleasant emotions, but respect for his opponent.

Janus will never accept a "noble death." But not like Remus, who doesn't care about such concepts in the first place, and who stayed for the fun of it. Janus will not be like Virgil, who, if he fails to escape and fails to win, will accept defeat, as long as it is the least loss.

If he has the chance to lie to you that he surrendered, he will. He will raise his hands, kneel down, and let you come closer. He will acknowledge your victory and beg for mercy. He will be pitiful. He will be pathetic. And when you down your guard, he will stab you in the throat with the knife he stole from you.

It amazes me how many people still think c!Thomas should have chosen a callback instead of a wedding.

It's not that I don't understand the position, and if I were in that situation, I would definitely choose callback to be honest, but... well, that wasn't the point. It's not about what I, or you would do, or what we think is right, but what c!Thomas thinks is right. As Logan said in the episode, there's a good chance Thomas wouldn't even get the role!

Just like we had an episode where Thomas is disappointed with the wedding, would it really be that unexpected to see a similar episode but where Thomas doesn't get the role and misses out on one of the most important moment in his friends' lives?

There was no better option. That's the point, there's no right or wrong when it comes to putting your own desires above those of your friends.

It really is more in character for Thomas to put his friends' wishes before his own. After that, there was a whole episode about it! This discussion made sense back when the episode just came out, but now? Really?

I do not like the ending tho. It funny as hell ngl, but the characters have learned nothing and it bothersme SO much.

No one except Thomas*

I just want to appreciate how much more mise-en-scène is used in the new episode instead of words.

In Sanders Sides they were, of course they were, but here Patton gives a little smile when Janus says he's support relationship and looks at Roman like "see?".

Here is Janus and Virgil who are looking at Logan suspiciously in the first 10 minutes of the video and then the eyes are orange for only a couple of seconds and Janus notices it.

Here is Janus, who is clearly a bit out of place and looks with interest at the flashbacks and how Roman changed Logan's clothes and other stuff that normal to other.

Here is Virgil who rolls his eyes and saying only "bite me" but it's clear to us that he does not object of change but simply doesn't believe Janus has changed and then Janus quickly tries to end this whole conversation (which may also be related to the fact that we later learn how he often hid as Patton and didn't want others to find out)

Here is Janus making moves to shut Remus up and faling miserably and Janus saing "I tried" to Patton tho speaking with Logan and how Vergil and Patton notising that Roman is nerd from the start with little smiles and how Janus and Virgil the most familiar with Remus and and and

Remus colours driving me crazy 

Like, all have in their palette 3 colours, and it never really changes (only if for specific costume like Sherlock/Halloween etc) 

First Patton. His colours take a very obvious dynamic, where light blue is main one, than there is gray and only than black (which can be easily missed, this is how little of it there), same with Janus black > yellow > pinkish red (which can be easily missed) but for him, his second colour takes leadership.

(Don't mind quality, I work with my gallery, anyway)

Characters like Logan and Virgil who have patterns in their palette still technically have only 3 colours. Patto-r-ns (haha) is in one tone, more or less, so it's not really important. We still have obvious dynamics black > purple/blue > white, and, as with Janus, theirs "important" colour is second.

Roman, in a unique position where his red shares second position with yellow almost equally. Cool! Still three with quite obvious dynamic ;) Red main.

And then we have FUCKING REMUS who has fucking black, green, gray AND bluish purple??? AND his green in NOT ONE BUT THREE. Where one is neon green and the other is dark green with glitter AND light green with YELLOW glitter.

WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU??? 

AND YEAH ALSO FUCKING WHITE. THERE IS A HINTS OF FUCKING WHITE THERE, IN THIS STUPID BUTTON, IN GLITTER AND--

AND A FUCKING PATTERN ON THE SLEEVES

I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS JUST A COSTUME, THAT IT IS OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE THAT GREEN WAS ELECTED AS COLOUR-LEADER BUT

BUTT.

I THINK. Assuming this choice was intentional fits his character quite well!

It's so him to follow the general rules but completely flip them and do it his own way (green? three different greens bitch). It's makes sense that his cloth would be done in a confused manner. Its makes sense.

Even if not deliberately by creators, i need this lie, okey? He has done it to fuck with us. Because that's something he'll do.

Fuck you Remus.

Post appreciation to the dynamic between Patton and Virgil

Patton always showed and expressed that he wanted to see Virgil on their side, with them on the team, Patton was the only one Virgil did not doubt about that.

And Virgil is the only one who constantly laughs at Patton's jokes. And Patton knows it! When he felt insecure in court (SvsS), when he made a joke, Virgil was the one he turned to, the one he directly turned to for the support he needed. And Virgil showed his reaction, even if he was unhappy with the whole situation. And this obviously gave Patton little more confidence.

And when Virgil expressed that he was uncomfortable with the general infantilization, Patton, no matter how obviously he doesn't want, doesn't know how to change (he is a really stubborn character and I love it in him), he stopped doing it, or did it on a clearly smaller scale (enough for me to notice it less haha)

They are very dear to me.

I don't trust a single Sanders Sides human au where Janus doesn't work as a lawyer
