[@tohruchan6093]

Yeah that bothered me too, honestly. He was distracted at the time but processing it later when everyone else got heartfelt moments and he was jipped out of it bc Patton revealed someone else's name before his own? Whenever our cool teacher gets an arc, I think that may play into insecurities. A small part at least.

[@meta_knight]

Honestly Patton saying Logan's name was really similar to like a friend telling their parents your name. I does suck he didnt get to tell Thomas himself but he also doesnt care for the dramatics such a moment would provide. The light sides tend not to weigh names as heavily as the dark sides do (remus the exception) because names for them are a sign of trust and understanding of the complexities they represent. Thats how I interpreted it at least.

Patton was a revealed by a pun

[@shanryder]

Virgil was not just a character. He was a real life person who wrote about the fear and anxieties of the Roman people. He also wrote/recorded the story of Romulus and Remus. Dante was a HUGE fan of Virgil so he added him to his story so that they could be besties. Inferno is basically fanfiction.

[@xmmademoisellex]

I agree on some level, but I also think that suited his character at the time. Logan didn't really think it logical to make a big deal out of his name and figured if Thomas wanted to know he would ask, which is why he didn't seem upset about Patton revealing it. It just suited his character, in the same way that Patton revealed his through a pun, Virgil did so after bringing everyone back from his room, and Janus did so as an act of trustworthiness.

roman pisses me off when he’s just learned virgils name saying how it took a lot to trust them with telling his name BUT HE LAUGHED AT JANUS’ NAME AND MADE FUN OF IT BUT HEROS AND PRINCES DONT MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE WHETHER GOOD OR BAD SO WHAT THE HELL ROMAN

[@minnowtes]

He also snorted at Virgil's name, which caused Virgil to be more anxious bc he assumed it was another rejection. While I do agree that Roman's reaction to Janus' name was horrible and cruel, I think his cruelty towards Janus comes from his distrust towards him. Roman didn't always hate Janus. In fact, at some point he even called him "very kind". I think his distrust and bitterness towards him was because of how it always sort of seemed like he was always wrong if he didn't agree with everyone? Roman wanted to go to the callback. Like, he even agreed with Janus that they wanted to go to that callback more than they did for the wedding, but his idea of just telling Lee and Mary Lee of their situation was brushed aside and forgotten. In SvSR, when he's at the point where he genuinely doesn't trust Janus anymore and thinks he's just there to make everyone turn against each other, he's wrong again. I think Roman was unnecessarily cruel to Janus, but I do think there's more to his behaviour than just "I'm cruel bc I hate the dark sides". You're totally free to disagree with me, by the way, that's just how I see it, yknow?

[@tiredplaguedoctor]

Acornly it’s okay! i dont disagree :) i was rather ticked when he laughed at virgils anyway too. also about him i do feel like his behavior was this sort of snowball effect adding more and more to his thoughts and disorienting so at the final point he doesn’t really care about acting the way he did. idk i dont articulate very well 😂 but yeah i see how there’s all these parts to add or take away how he feels thinks and acts :/ i wish the two could’ve had better circumstances in trusting eachother.. but there wasn’t really a way for that to happen without some “chaos” or just a reallll bumpy road :/ in a perfect world (thomas sphere?) everyone could just have a conversation together and maybe have some proper apologies and see where it goes from there and agree to make the future less difficult and butting heads (better words? at this point my english is trash)

[@kyrauniversal]

Janus wasn't the god of Choices. He was the God of Transitions and Doorways. One face looking at the past, one towards the future. This becomes clear with how Janus doesn't want Thomas to be "disadvantaged in a world where he could die by not following the rules that were made in the name of a lie." He was trying to guide the group through a transition for Thomas to gain his own life of independence. Not be disadvantaged by fake "friends" who only agreed with Thomas's self deprecating "humor", and ignore his interests as if he's nothing, yet toxically lure him in by saying things like "Why don't you just marry us both?". The cycle of Ouroboros. All that can EASILY lead down a spiral NO ONE wishes to see. The destruction of one's self.

see when i asked my mom what you do in that conflicting situation wedding or call back she said compromise and tell them you go to the call back then go to the reception and hopefully the friends are real and good enough which given janus was wrong at the end, and they did show they cared I guess this could have been a fine compromise

[@kyrauniversal]

@@ChrissaTodd I get your point, but given the timeframe a callback can have, which is sometimes varied. That could put Virgil on high alert, since by the clocks in his room, time itself is a fear.

[@Dale-ct5ru]

I think you don't have all your facts down quite right. In a Q & A years ago when asked about the names, Thomas didn't talk about The Aeneid (the mythology thing you can't remember). He merely mentioned the romanticism root and the romantic movement, which featured many knights and princes. Remus was named after Romulus's brother when Thomas's team realized the ties between both sets of twins, but 'Roman' came first and 'Remus' in its wake. Yes Romulus established the city of Roma, whose people are called Romans, but the romantic ties to get Princey's name came before that line of thinking. Hope this helped.

Patton: logan shut your ever flapping gob talker. Me: what!?!?😂

[@cloudy_selene]

Thank you for this child

[@CocatGaming]

I like how Logan’s name was revealed first and then whoever the orange side is aka, Logan’s foil, will have his name revealed last. I find that to be pretty interesting.

[@ajelliott04]

This video got me thinking. If all the light side’s names end the same and all the dark side’s names end the same, then why is Virgil’s end differently? I think I cracked the code. I, like many other Fanders, suspect that there is an orange side. And this got me thinking about Virgil and how his name is different then the rest. Virgil is neither a full light side nor full dark side, he’s kinds in a gray space in between. What if the orange side’s name, if there is an orange side, ends like Virgil’s and it indicates that they fit aren’t full light side nor dark side?

[@TheElzy]

I only just realised how Remus' eyes flicker to Virgil

*just remember tuna is required for pattoncake*

[@mackenziechan3723]

Thomas must have had the name Janus planned out from when he reveled the two-headed snake symbol

[@scribblesam]

Why’s nobody talkin about the fact that Patton sinked our saying that tuna was needed for Patton-cake... 0-0

I love how the music in the explanations fit each of the characters!!!

[@golden_berry4779]

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed this All the lights sides names end with on or an All the darkside names end with us the only one that doesn't follow this pattern is Virgil

[@sqwibler1092]

I think it's because Virgil can be either. He can make Thomas so anxious it's debilitating, or he can just make sure Thomas locks the car.

[@z_.5557]

I think it's because Virgilius (another possible basis for Virgil's name) is too long.

[@oliverh.8432]

I've noticed this too and my theory is that he wasn't ready for the others to know that he was a dark side yet, so he shortened his true name (Virgilius) into Virgil to avoid suspicion.

[@L.Vanrouge]

@@oliverh.8432 good theory that is actually what i believe as well but for emile i believe he is what i call a grey side, a side that will help the lights and the darks (i know you didn't bring him up but emile does not fit the pattern so)

[@ZOMNIZOB]

Its because he turned into a light side so his name can be some random way

[@alishaanimations3058]

I know I’ve watched it already BUT JUST WHEN I WAS GETTING TO JANUS’ NAME MY SCREEN TIME WENT ON

[@xxxboxyloxyxxx771]

I had no clue that Thomas had these characters. I only knew him from some of his vines. Its amazing he came up with each of these and how detailed their stories are

[@veronicasargent1376]

Thank you for this video! It was very informational! 😆🙌👌

[@naiadfourone6148]

you know you've been watching the sanders sides repeatedly too much when your earbuds aren't plugged in but the videos is this playing and you remember every.single.line- Oh and, in Dante's inferno (to whoever read it) is basically dante's self-insert fanfic with his favourite idol/poet, Virgil. pretty ironic huh-

[@nerdygirl1018]

I just realized The light sides have the naming thing of "on" and "an" The dark sides don't This literally foreshadowed Virgil revealing he used to be a dark side

[@magicpigeon_]

How did you not realize that till now? Also the dark sides’ names end in “us” but Virgil’s doesn’t

[@nerdygirl1018]

Logan's name and Patton's name really helped me in class when we were learning ethos, pathos and logos lol

[@sorryuwu5569]

Has anyone thought about the Ethos Pathos and Logos ? Maybe the orange side connects with the word Ethos or something and maybe his name would be 'Ethan'? i'm kinda new to the fandom and maybe someone had already thought of it ^^"

[@aSceene]

now that I'm watching this... It sound weird when they're referred to as "Logic," "Princey," "Morality," "Anxiety" and "Deceit"

[@sleepy_devil2893]

Patton:"Oh that doesn't end, in an "O,n" or an "i,n" shouldnt it be Oh something like Virgin?" Roman: *Laughs* Thomas: "How is that funny" Roman: "well, i. It um. Its not" WAY TO GO THOMAS STICK UP FOR YOUR PURPLE MAN. *decit is mwa fav side!!*

[@allie1738]

Remus is my fav

[@logicallyanxious]

tbh i think roman was laughing for a different reason

[@ashadowperson9905]

Patton, Virgil and Janus are my favorite sides.

[@ignoretheweeb9153]

Is it bad that I knew what they were saying when the videos were muted?

[@lilztacos7652]

This video is what actually made me watch sanders sides. A friend had recommended it and I was tempted to watch this and learn all their names but I didn’t. I am now obsessed.

[@annabelleeidson18]

2:47 it's interesting that he says that because something that I noticed was that all the "light sides" do end with an -an or -on, similar endings Remus and Janud also sound similar... Idk tho

[@feral_pigeon]

*Janus

[@noemibalbuena1319]

I love the though Thomas put in so much effort to make the names fit with the characters. Or this is all a coincidence. Probably not, alright ima go now-

[@davidmurphysandiego]

Remus's name also comes from "Rem" which is a certain stage of sleep, I just noticed that XD

[@TrelliessRose]

As in... nightmares?

[@NoArtisticLimitation_NAL]

And here I always thought Virgil was named because he was always on the verge of a panic attack….

[@okthanxsbai]

“Who guided Dante through the underworld” No one: Janus: I’m here now guys

[@pottertism]

Guess you could say Roman is very roman-tic 👀

[@bubblegum8959]

A thing I like is that all of the "light" sides "Roman, logan, and Patton" rhyme aswell with the "dark" sides "Remus and Janus" while Virgil doesn't Rhyme with any of them showing he is not either of the sides down in his deep heart he may have had the history of a dark side and grew into being one of the light sides but deep down Virgil is neither he is his own separate thing maybe because anxiety is more of a mental health issue then a side of your personality although Virgil does seem to also represent nerves, and emotions similar to Patton so it makes my theory a little flat but i will still put it out cause I have no shane

[@nox5660]

I recently joined the fandom, but I actually have a question for the early Fanders; which theories were there about the names before they got revealed and HOW/WHERE CAN I FIND THEM ONLINE 😂

[@fjakjcwjcjjwjcch]

There are 100% theories on Tumblr if you go far enough back Just sayin

[@cordeliajackson8615]

People were theorizing that Janus’s name was going to be something like Ethan (ethos, the ethical approach), or Damien (don’t know why, Deceit and Damien both start with a ‘D’ I guess). Some did theorize Janus (including myself so I was really proud of guessing correctly) but most thought it was gonna be Ethan or that his name really was just Deceit. I wasn’t very active online during the early times so I don’t remember or I just didn’t see the theories but I remember talking with my friend much before the Virgil’s name was dropped and she legit thought it was gonna be Aiden. I believe this was after Logan’s name was revealed. And she thought all of their names were going to have the same first letter as their function (Patton was going to be Mark/Marcus in her head. Virgil was Aiden. Roman was Colt, and she was one of those people who thought Janus’s name was going to be Damien.)

[@zizzyinari6121]

Virgil, Roman,Remus,Logan,Paton,Janus, and Thomas Aslo: "Its a stupid name-" *LOOK WHOS TALKING*

[@sisyliamarshall3240]

3:13 This might be at least partially true in regards to Virgil's name origin, but I believe I heard in a behind the scenes video that Thomas and his friends wanted Virgil's name to be related to Roman's, so maybe do research on that and update the video, I mean, if you want to. Edit: Oh, and in regards to Remus, just as an idea, I actually think that Creativity's name (before the split) should have been Romulus.

[@bizzybee7910]

It’s been years but I still want a good Logan arch

[@IdiaAndBoothillLover]

Roman names actually based of the name "Romulus", one of the two twin princes of Rome... In fact the name Remus is actually the name of Romulus twin

[@xyzcherie]

The fact that I wheezed at their names because I knew roman was gonna laugh-

[@lowkeestupid6095]

Hey I got a theory: you know how the ‘good’ sides like the main threes names all in in ‘an.’ Like romAN logAN pattON. Then there is remUS and janUS, but Virgil doesn’t fit either. Maybe a sign that he is neither or used to be a evil side and changed?

[@1151robby]

I KNEW IT THAT WAS THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT OF WHEN I HEARD JANUS' NAME!!!!

[@badgacha9434]

Roman’s name origin is Romulus Romulus and Remus, the twin brothers. Janus’ name comes from the God of transitions, dualitys, etc. Janus (god) has two faces, like our evil snek has one human and snake sides of his face.

[@misha.3549]

I love how Virgils name is different than everyone else’s. Like the light sides all end with a “an” or “on” And the dark sides end with “us” It really shows how Anxiety can be a good AND bad thing.
