January God
In ancient Roman religion and mythology, Janus is the god of beginnings and transitions, thence also of gates, doors, doorways, endings and time. He is usually a two-faced god since he looks to the future and the past. The Romans dedicated the month of January to Janus. His most apparent remnant in modern culture is his namesake, the month of January. The Nobel Prize winning poet, Seamus Heaney,…

Janus: You're going to bed, it's late.
Patton: But my cookies! They'll burn!
Janus: I'll finish them, you're sleeping.

I am a 'shortest side!Janus' truther based solely on the fact that in Italian (and a few other European languages apparently) there's this saying: "Le bugie hanno le gambe corte" ("lies have short legs" meaning if you tell a lie, it won't last long)
In my head, he's at least a head shorter than everyone else

Logan: Everyone make sure to unhinge your jaw. Virgil, Patton, Roman: Logan..? Logan: UNCLENCH. I MEANT UNCLENCH! Remus and Janus: *annoyed grumbles as they fix their jaws to be normal again*

i think most Orange theories fail to consider one important thing. Orange doesn't have to represent just one trait alone. he can be representative of multiple parts of Thomas's personality. literally all of the other sides represent at least two facets of Thomas's personality each.
Virgil is anxiety and vigilance. Roman is creativity and ego. Patton is morality and emotion. Logan is logic and learned knowledge (also the “primary overseer of Thomas's language center” as he put it himself). Janus is deceit and self-preservation. Remus is the only side who seems to represent one thing, and that's forbidden/dark creativity (and intrusive thoughts, but that would fall under the forbidden creativity category). there is a possibility that Remus represents something else that the series hasn't revealed yet.
so yeah, it's important to keep in mind that Orange can and probably does represent multiple facets of Thomas. and it's possible that one of these facets is going to be something helpful to Thomas, just like how vigilance and self-preservation explain how Virgil and Janus aren't completely evil and that they serve a purpose in Thomas's life. going back to my desperation theory, there's a possibility that Orange could represent something more positive, alongside desperation. catharsis, maybe?

Boa Island, Co Fermanagh
Two of the most enigmatic pieces of Irish sculpture can be found in a small cemetery on Boa Island in Co Fermanagh. The larger sculpture is a two-sided ‘Janus’ figure, with depictions of a bearded figure on both sides. Both of the depictions show an oval-faced man with large almond-shaped bulging eyes, and a straight nose. In Celtic culture, heads were very important because they were thought to…

#every now and then i have to draw a little comic strip for one of my aus based on a meme#and make it all up on the spot with absolutely no forethought#sanders sides au#sanders sides fairytale au#sanders sides fanart#roman sanders#remus sanders#janus sanders#creativitwins#i'm probably gonna end up changing janus's design between this and the next time i draw him#i just can't figure out how he should look#don't look at remus's clothes i literally didn't even plan what i was gonna draw before i started doing the lineart#i also didn't use references for anything but the hands#the problem with drawing anthropomorphic animals in this way is that it's really hard to make them show any expression#not that i'm good at that with humans anyway#i guess this is my debut of roman and remus's designs in this au. i'm gonna make little character profiles for them and all the others#idk how long that'll take though cause for some reason i decided to draw 2 full body colored and shaded pictures of each character#that's 12 drawings +the one each i already did for c!thomas and the orange side#i feel like this drawing doesn't look like remus much?#his grey hairs aren't super noticeable so maybe that's why. also the green on his clothes isn't very bright#and he's making a pretty normal facial expression so that affects it too#once again i did not plan this out at all beforehand#this is the 4th au ive made where roman is the youngest character. except in this one he and remus actually aren't twins (clearly)#remus is actually the oldest#so everyone else is in between them age wise#my art
