#SvS redux

[emoprincey]

A young man stands in his living room. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, 2019, is the day of his friends' wedding.

If Virgil was in Putting Others First:

Virgil: *appears* SHIT Sorry I’m late I—

Roman: *identity crisis*

Patton: *giant frog*

Thomas: *knocked out*

Virgil: WHY IS DECEIT HERE??

Janus: That’s your question??

“Kill them with kindness” WRONG giant frog man

I can’t believe Roman Sanders is judging again. Doesn’t he remember what happened the last time he was a judge?

[let-roman-bite-someone]

okay but the potential that the SvS episodes had for an angsty love triangle was impeccable.

Roman, torn between the two people who represents two things he desperately desires. Patton representing the familiar - the comfort of being a good person, the validation that came with knowing that he is Thomas's hero, the life that Roman has gotten accustomed to; and Janus representing the unknown - change, ambition, and a leap of faith that might be worth it.

Roman falling for Janus's sweet manipulation and flattery, but being scared to tear himself away from Patton, who has always been his biggest supporter. and then finding out that both Janus and Patton were manipulating him the whole time. they had good intentions but they did what they did, and it left Roman deeply wounded.

and at this point, it's even harder for Roman to choose himself than it was for him to choose between two people he admired and valued. he is no longer worthy of anyone's love, not even his own.

just remembered how much i loved the shepherd!janus design from svs redux, so i drew her, but i gave her long hair, yellow highlights, and fish hook earrings <3 was also too tired to give her her hat or render her but. oh well

might do more with this design in the future, i just really really love the idea of janus as a shepherd. it's so thematically appropriate

[milk3ad]

if i’m allowed a hot take, this is the fandom with janus and patton nowadays after svsr…

like i love janus, but he knew tf he was doing. like he IS male manipulator, let’s bffr.

happy anniversary lee and mary lee please don’t get married ever again

[mynameis-a]

it has taken me three fucking years to understand what this scene was supposed to be a reference to.

Rewatching SvS Redux right now and I'm still bothered by Patton's argument against talking to Lee and Mary Lee before the wedding. I feel like he's telling Thomas that they shouldn't have agency because it might hurt their feelings.

I don't know, it just feels iffy to me and I think it one of the reasons Patton started bothering me so much...

Honestly, the entire episode makes me not like him too much. I know the point is that he's wrong and too extreme but still...

[toygoldenfreddygal]

this is just Patton in svs redux

[loganslowdown4]

If Janus is the easy way to feeling good, by being selfish and cutting corners for a quick fix, then Roman is the antithesis of that, working hard and making sacrifices to feel good, and feeling even better and more worthy of feeling that way-

And this is why they clash-

I think about them way too much 😔❤️💛

This is to follow up my Roman theory if you missed it before!, click here!

What sanders sides episode is this

[let-roman-bite-someone]

the emotional rollercoaster while watched SvS Redux is really something else. i really don’t know how Thomas and all of the writers (especially Joan) balances out the comedy and the emotional bits so well.

why the grudge by olivia rodrigo is actually written abt roceit: an unnecessarily long breakdown

(aka basically an in this essay i will… post but i actually wrote it.)

okay so starting off strong, pof was literally released on a friday in may. (i know technically it took place on april 13th in cannon, but the still what are the chances here.)

next we have these lines would refer to the trust janus built up during the courtroom that he then broke during pof. how he set him up to take the fall no matter what, crushing either roman’s self image and/or his dream. it also refers to the flippant way janus address this and how he basically refers to it as a joke. it’s pretty clear throughout the episode, however, roman holds onto everything that was say.

i sorta feel like this speaks for itself.

this next part i think sums up a lot of pof pretty well. roman making fun of janus’s name is shitty. him calling janus evil the whole episode is shitty. BUT everyone JUST told him janus WAS evil and not to be trusted. and janus WASNT to be trusted in svs since he literally was manipulating him. janus caused like half of this and fed into roman’s insecurities and he knew it. so yes, i think roman is handling this BAD, but janus cut first, and he cut deeper.

lowkey another one i feel speaks for itself. this is pretty much stated this is what janus is doing. literally.

roman and pretending he’s fine when he’s not. i mean it’s like all the sides, but def the way roman seems to handle it (like not too much cannon has happened since so) like this. it still seems to affect him in fwas confidence wise and all. just the way this hasn’t even been addressed. you know the boy is struggling.

okay i kept out a lot of the love stuff cause like that’s not cannon and i tried to keep this close to cannon. BUT it fits with that too and my headcannons… maybe another post. it’s just so perfect.

okay if you read this far i love you forever <3 also this may be formatted like the worst thing ever, i don’t use tumblr really so i was struggling making this. also it’s late and i cant think atm :))
