Does anyone else talk about how the different ways the sides names were revealed can often be analogous to the different ways folks come out about their queer identity?
Logan didn't reveal his name by choice, patton did it for him. Thomas was surprised by logans name, mostly by the implications of the sides having names instead of just titles and nicknames. Patton didn't seem to think too much about revealing logans name, and logan didn't seem too worried/upset about it either. His relationship with his name seems awfully casual, like it doesn't bother him if people know his name or not.
Patton in turn waited for a little later to reveal his name, finding the best timing. He even took advantage of the opportunity by using his name reveal as pun ammunition, reveling in the chance to now make more puns based on his name. He was excited to reveal his name, especially now that it can pave the way for more fun and bonding with the others now that they know more about him.
Roman kept it quiet for a bit, holding it close to his chest until he was ready. When he and thomas were alone, sharing their thoughts on self worth and value, he revealed his name so as to help them both get closer. This was a private, emotionally intimate moment where they were opening up about sensitive topics, and roman figured there was no better moment than this one.
Virgil was scared about the whole thing. It was a huge step for him to be so open about such a personal secret, and he avoided it for as long as he could. But when the others reached out to him and made him realize his importance with the group he's grown to call a family, he knew he was ready to share this with them. It was a big step and he was clearly scared, but his trust was well placed.
Remus came into the scene loud and clear. He was ready for people to know and see him, because whatever they thought about him was their problem. He played along with the nickname game for a bit, but when the others expressed confusion about exactly what he is supposed to be/represent, he gave them the answer, bluntly and clearly. His lack of tact and fear actually surprised everyone, since the others were more reluctant to share their names, but remus didn't care about keeping secrets.
Janus loved to keep secrets, especially his own. The less people knew about him the better. He knew more than anyone that people can be gossipy, judgemental rumor mills that spread sensitive secrets like pollen in the wind, and he wasn't about to let himself get caught up in the drama of it all. Besides, with how the others have been treating him, why should they know anything about him? He felt that they didn't care about him, so a name reveal would be unwarranted. When it was proven that he had a seat at the table like the rest, and that his input was indeed wanted, he knew they would be willing to trust him. It would only be fair to trust them in return, starting with his name.
Idk where I was going with this, something something signs of trust and openness with the group and the complex relationship people have with a secret that they feel can define their identity.

I feel like Virgil and Patton’s friendship is a “canon isn’t real if I don’t look at it” situation in the fandom. Like, no one ever brings it up and keeps acting like their friendship is still perfectly fine, and when it is brought up everyone is just like “Oh, yeah. Sad.” And then just move on- I get it, but it’s something that I think should be analyzed and looked into because it’s genuinely interesting.
So, let’s talk about it.
Personally, I feel like Virgil had every right to cut his friendship with Patton since Patton crossed his boundaries multiple times (ex: When Virgil said he didn’t like being treated like he was a small, innocent child and what not and Patton still did so.), and also since Patton quickly became friends with Janus and pushing everyone else to accept him when it took Virgil so long to be accepted in the first place. (And it’s probably also frustrating seeing someone you know become so quickly fond of someone even though they know you don’t have good history with that person.)
