Star Reacts to: Putting Others First - Selfishness v. Selflessness Redux | Sanders Sides 

Your excitement at Janus was amazing 😂 awwww this was so cute, and I’m honored you woke up before work to watch this almost-hour-long video!! Haha awww this was such a joy! Also, your empathy towards Patton, trying to put yourself in his shoes while he was struggling to answer the other characters’ questions was refreshing and lovely! Thank you so much for this!!

Hey does anyone notice that when Patton figures out why he was having issues with morals a combo of Patton’s theme and Janus’s theme plays

Janus is wine mom, Logan is mom, and Patton is dad! Try and change my mind! Edit: Thank you for all the likes!😻

**turns around in Deceit cosplay** “There was a new episode that I was invited to.” *laughs in foreshadowing*

Personal Headcanon / what I _want_ to happen: I'd like to think that after this event, Logan will ask Janus to help Thomas go down the right road as he feels he isn't capable to guide him right now [feels like he's too intrusive and that no one likes to hear him talk/have him there] and having had time to think about Janus's points and motivations [being on the sidelines and all], thinks they have very similar views in that regard/how to go about it. Janus will agree and from then on he will talk on behalf of both himself and Logan's side of view, even if they are contradicting/different, and he will even defend Logan if the situation ever arises. That is because he has found that they are a lot more alike than he thought [similar to Logan's realization - perhaps having already started when Logan agreed with him in this video about Thomas's mental health], and that he finds that this agreement provides them with a common ground. I swear I'm not a shipper for this fandom but Loceit - or should I say Lonus now? - sounds really good right now. And if we're going down the effective altruism route, with Janus taking the temporary role of the mind and with Patton being the heart, we could have some Moceit goodness. [or would it be Monus now? Panus? Jatton?] Anyway, now that I have got this scenario in my head I desperately want it to be true. In fact, consider this a prompt fanfic writers, I wanna read this.

"Oh Jesus! Heterosexuality." I DIED! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Us mociet shippers are living our best life right now

Oh!! Janus sank out!! Like the other sides!

Janus and Patton are the two in competition for my favorite now, Janus was always up there as my close second but now he and Patton are precariously balancing on the top both trying not to fall down.

Poor Logan he got “replaced” by deceit twice

I've been waiting for this since Thomas Sanders. You loving Decit, Logan and Patton is the reason why I was waiting.

YES! ANOTHER “DECEIT” FAN!

15:01 *they predicted janus singing razzle dazzle*

My Moceit heart is going crazy.

Don't know how well versed you are in mythology. But Janus is a two faced roman god, the name is actually extreamly fitting.

Poor Ruby, don't cry *gives hug through the screen* Everyone can get a bit emotional sometimes.

Go back to the little minigame sections and look in the top corners, in the Mario parody there is a score and a time limit, the time limit is purple, and says things like "Time: Wasted" "Time: Not Well Spent", who do we know that likes purple and makes Thomas anxious The score in the Mario parody is green, and is 80085, which is LEET code for boobs, who do we know that's immature and likes green? But wait! In the Street Fighter section there is a score too, it's..... orange, and is 01134, the ever so famous LEET code for hello, how peculiar...

Yeah, I thought Angel (My Auntie that’s younger than me than a few months) was crazy for being scared for pixels when we were playing minecraft I can see why now 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Star: "Patton.... Honey...." Me: "OH HONEY!!" I had to make the tiktok reference XD

I love your reaction videos. Whenever Thomas uploads your video is always the first reaction video I watch. :)

"oh jesus heterosexuality" i made the most INHUMAN NOISE KDGSFKSGFKSJGFJSK

Can we just appreciate the oathkeeper cosplay keyblade in the back. Are we gonna get an oblivion?

MOCEIT ! Also yes our boi (Janus!!!!) FINALLY got something good coming his way and i am soooo happy they realise how right he is ;-;

How do we have almost the same exact reaction to every sander sides episode:)

Can we just appreciate their reactions? Its so pure

You have such a lovely voiiicce

Im in the sink [Edit]im no longer in the sink

Janus is such a slimy boi

Wait... He really dies represent Denial Remember? What you don't know Can't hurt you it makes so much sense he isn't Just all about Lies He is Denial

This Video Is One of the best of the Sanders Sides Video

patton: Roman there’s no side more helpful than you! logan: *am i a joke to you* mmmmmmm yummy angst

Love this reaction ^^. Also, just saying, your accent is amazing :-:

1:30 the Remus came out

Jenus is awesome

I love this I love this

yES ive always shipped mociet

The cake means the butt

I'm not the only one who thought about that meme 😅

channels that react to "Sander Sides": **exists** me: Wait this kind of content actually exists!?!?!?!!?! I am so confused tell me what the F%!#k is going on!?!?!!?!!!! somebody fill me in and help me understand this whole thing ;-;

Ok I know this kinda doesn't relate but ok so Patton, Roman and Logan have on or an at the end of there names and remus and Janus and have us at the end of there names so maybe virgil doesn't belong in the dark sides or the light sides just a thought.

why ı think that, thomas(the character) seems to be very biased and.. well lets say hypocritical his creativity split into two extremes because he belived certian ideas were bad to think of(the reason that makes remus a factual side and roman a emotional side is that roman is the ideas thomas likes/prefers/desires while remus are the ideas he dislikes but can't get rid of because even if he doesn't like them they exist as a fact. for exaple a goldfish in a condom CAN exist it's a fact therfore factual remus emotional roman) and then his morale compass begin to deteriate too he belived lying was the worst thing he could do and thought it was SELFISH (thats the split of deciet and patton when they combined they represent a full moral compass/ a person who gives but keeps just enough to himself too. deciet is all about self-preservation and manupilating the truth to thomas' needs and that's why he is the factual side... and do ı even need to explain why patton is the emotional side?) this resulted in inner conflict in thomas' mental state "good" and "bad" were fighting against and in such a bad time like puberty with so many hormonal emotion born virgil, anxiety (first born as paronoia) while normally he is a emotional side thomas couldn't realise than because he hated how he made him feal and deceit hid him away with the rest of the "dark sides" but virgil needed to be on the other side it was litterally calling out so he kept slipping into now thomas' self made positivity bauble with patton roman and logan(will get to him in a minute) and as we saw in the show finally got accepted into the emotional sides thats why he got his purple hoodie instead of a grey hoodie (not as important but ı say it as symbolising that he found his color) now logan... well thomas put virgin in the "bad sides" because he made him feel not good so he has the power to change where people are to an extent and logan was just.. raw information/login/facts he was always uncomfortable around the other sides and the other sides generally get annoyed by him a lot when he comes into play "but knowledge is a great thing" so logan was quite litterally "forced" to become a "light" side and since it wasn't his true color he has a repeating color. dark blue instead of orange he may also be slipping into the factual side here and there we don't know cuz the show is centered around thomas and thomas never left his emotional bubble

Middyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

“Why are you closing your eyes, honey?” Fun fact! That actually is called “blocking”, and people do it when they don’t want others to know how they’re feeling, as eyes show the most emotion.

ah yes, Jesus Sanders my favorite side

I'm getting flashbacks to when Virgil "ducked out". Roman is starting to feel that he isn't necessary and I hope he is okay. He's one of my favorite sides.

That absolutely feral “I STAN” as you dramatically returned the Deceit hat to your head is the biggest mood

To clarify, Deceit's name is Janus. He replaced Logan after Patton hit the "skip all" button. You can see the cane that pulled Logan away is the same one Deceit had in the Lilypadton scene. Also can we talk about how happy he looked when Logan backed him up about self- care?

‘Oh Jesus, heterosexuality’ Me though 😂

You know...Janus is a Roman God. Janus is the God of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages and endings. He's often depicted as having two faces which I think that's what they were going for when they chose that name! It fits perfectly with Deceipt!!! btw...I also cried in this so you're not alone...

I paused to read logan's bubbles when I watched this myself. He's one of my favorite sides along with Deceit. I'm partial to teachers and tricksters lol.

Thomas really be out here givin’ Moceit shippers that GOOD FOOD--

When I saw the Deceit outfit I was suspecting at random times just arms coming out.

I’m so proud of Janus for telling the others his name. I post this on everything that has to do with Janus so therefore my first impulse is to comment.

Theory time: Deceit is HALF snake. His two-headed snake logo shows that there are multiple things parts of him. To simplify it, a ‘good’ (self-preservation) and ‘bad’ (lying in a bad way). Yes, he’s a ‘good’ side now, but all of the sides have ‘bad’ parts. If you say his human side of his face is ‘good’ and the snake side is ‘bad’, notice how, when he faces Thomas, most of the snake skin is hidden. But when he faces Roman, the human side is hidden. Maybe this is to show the audience how the person he is talking to views him. Roman views him as an evil snake and Thomas sees him as just human.

Okay you love Janus and so do I and my friends are asleep so I'm gonna ramble here- (what Roman said was understandable, he was feeling threatened and confused and lashed out defensively) But okay THE FACE JANUS MADE when Roman mocked his name. Shock, hurt, and you could see his shields going back up and he lashed out to defend himself. POOR SNEKLING LOOKED SO HURT. And he did this for Thomas, too! He was giving them a reason to trust him SO HE COULD HELP THOMAS, making himself extremely vulnerable, and Roman just mocks him immediately! And he looked scared to say reveal his name too, he looked like he really didn't want to but had to for Thomas and then no one reacts positively! No one does anything but stare until Roman bursts into laughter and mocks him. And no one defends him either; he has to defend himself! But on the bright side he looked so happy during the last bit, joking with Thomas, he really seemed extremely happy to be accepted. He was genuinely laughing! Genuinely smiling!

1) At 17:53 on the numbers Remus is saying "BOOBS" and virgil saying "LIMITED" 2) at 18:23 virgils text changes to "BEING LOST" 3) at 18:31 it changes again to "PORLY SPENT" 4) at 18:37 it changes lastly to "WASTED" 5) and at last at 27:39 at the health bar there are numbress 07734 if we revere this numbress and flip them they spell out "HELLO" and it's orange! New side meaby? Also I'm not the first to find this! I saw this on tik tok and I fell in love at how precise and how much work Thomas poots in it I'm so proud of put gay prince!

Loved the reaction! And I loved how you brought up that Janus and Patton are yin and yang; I think you're absolutely right. Too much or too little of either of them would hurt Thomas. Thomas needs them both, they balance each other out. Also I love Janus's name! I'm actually kind of mad I never thought of it as a possibility, since I'm a HUGE mythology nerd! 😂

*Plz watch the entire Sander Sides video before reading my comment* Deceit being called Denial is like Thomas being (in part) in denail of what/who deceit really is/stands for. Maybe... Like he's not only about lies, as he does care for Thomas and isn't always/actually deceitfull. Roman's reaction to Deceit becoming 'part of the group' or listened to is the same one he had with Virgil in the beginning. I hope that in the next episode him and Virgil (maybe along with deceit) will be able to talk it out. I guess it stems from Remus, everything he doesn't want to be: so the agression and harsh way he react to the dark sides is pretty much instilled in him. I wonder, I (personally) think Logan was there and switched Deceit in... but was he actually deceit the whole time? I'm confused. (Because while watching the premiere everyone was like hahahhahaha yes, 'Logan' is there, saying he was deceit the whole time.) But! LOGAN TALKS WHILE DECEIT IS UP THERE. So he did bring Deceit in! I'm pretty sure I got it right.

Maybe now that Janus is being accepted, Virgil will be less worried about the others accepting him and his past as a ""dark side""

There's gonna come a video where Virgil pops up and Janice is there, and metaphorical stuff is gonna hit the metaphorical fan.............dibs not being the fan

God....This episode got in tears kinda well at the end but I'm soo happy we got dacites name, Janus! But I'm to excited see maybe Janus and Remus interact with one anther.Also just relized this but does this mean that Janus was Logan the whole time and giving facts and also helping them?AHH but besides That i love your channle Its the best one that i have seen In a while!!🤩🤩❤✨✨🐍

Its so exciting to finally learn Janus' name, and so strange to hear him being called that but I love it. I can't stop thinking though about how Virgil wasn't in this video, and how Patton and Thomas (and maybe Logan a little) seem to have accepted Janus more, and how that sets up some conflict next episode with Virgil still disliking Janus. I have so many questions, many thoughts head full

If you look at Mario game, you will see Remus sending a message 'BOOBS' with green score, Veirgil describing time as Wasted with purple letters. Int he middle, we have AU. And then, the fighting/serving food game is the plce where by 07734 orange side said HELLO. Another thing, LogAN, PattON, RomAN and RemUS, JanUS and... VirgiliUS, Virg's deadname. Roman talking about Thomas while describing Remus as filthy b*tch. 100 HP from the first trolley scenario reduced to 98 HP in the second, after Patton lost 2 HP when he was hit. All the references in Patton's inventory. Janus's absence during the summary of 31st of March. And, Roman describing prank with cats performed likely by Janus. Just leaving those things in here for you to think about :3

"Oh Jesus, Heterosexuality" Legit BEST quote

A few things: JANUS IS MEH SNEK BABY I PROTECC HIM FIGHT ME Also: (I’m sorry in advance) I suppose Deceit finally got to be in the room where it happens I’msorryi’llleavenow Also also: I love Roman, he is still my insecure prince child, but when he laughed at Janus’ name I really wanted to slap him

You mentioning the "sure Jan" meme almost made me scream omg I didn't think of that and now I'm thinking of all the possibilities with that djgjdjfjd

Roman is ducking out now... He knows he can't duck out normally like Virgil did so he'll probably re-fuse with Remus

Enemies to lovers? I think u mean “umm, you’re in my spot” to “we both know that’s not true”

"Ooh jesus, heterosexuality." has to be the best thing ever and has made me subscribe

"Those baby making catholics." - Roman 2020

Am i the only one who would have chosen the passive aggresive option?😂

This episode was so interesting. And I just see the shipping XD

Fun fact, ‘Janus’ is the name of a god with two faces “Hint Hint”

"Fear is an emotion we are all feeling." My anxiety side when I saw this episode yesterday.

Anyone else theorizing that we'll see Roman's room next episode?

Thomas really said, moceit stans can get all the rights as a treat

Janus: you're just stuck with snake boy Starlight: eeeeeezzzzzzz!!!!!!

It's been 9 months and I'm STILL filled with a bagillian emotions when I watch this episode, especially with a reaction nearby

"Oh jesus, heterosexuality!" XD

Yes, I too ship Moceit after this episode

Janus saying, “i’ll take care of him” gets me in the feels

As soon as I saw you in a Janus cosplay I knew immediately that this was going to be a great reaction video

25:57 wHAT ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE?? IS THIS WHY VIRGIL ISN'T IN THE EPISODE? BECAUSE HE FEELS UNNEEDED? WHEJEBEJEJ-

We may have had a hint for a new side as well. During the video game segments each of the Side's responses to something is colour coded; Patton and Logan blue, Virgil purple, Roman red, Janus yellow, Remus green. At one point during the castle and prince metaphor there's green text in the corner that says 80085. The classic number version of the word "Boobs". However at the fighting/soup kitchen part there's an 8th colour, orange. And the it says "07734". In the letters that translates to "Hello" backwards. At the RPG part Thomas has a move called "Blinding Rage", and this text shows up during a game version of Thomas who's quite aggressive. On top of that at the start of the episode Thomas is pretty pissed off. So I think we've got a good guess what the next Side is, and I don't think he's gonna hold his punches. Also, notice how Janus starts actually acting like the other side of Morality towards the end? Patton's premises have always been pretty black and white, with little room for consideration of mitigating factors, until Janus starts proposing those said factors. At which point Patton starts considering them as well. Thomas needs the snake boi ; - ; It really does reflect how Thomas, the character, was brought up with very strong ideas about right and wrong, which is why the Dark Sides were demonised and rejected to begin with, despite the fact they were never evil.

SOMEONE PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS AND WE CAN THEORIZE ABOUT THIS EPISODE TOGETHER ON LIKE INSTA OR SNAPCHAT OR SMTH

I am so glad I’m not the only one who cried!! And I am SOOOOO Exited that Janus is a part of the group now!!

48:15 That "YeeEEEEEeee!" Was my whole mood.

Since I don't see anyone answering: 18:17 Cake is a slang term for, as Patton would call it, your butt or "b-hole", typically used for someone with a nice butt, here it would have a sexual connotation. Which is why Thomas wants Roman to check his phrasing. I think it is especially funny because of Roman's reaction, like he is offended that Thomas would think of that meaning. I mean really, Roman, did you doubt your brother wouldn't make Thomas think of it? Also, when Leslie is going to present the prize he turns his back on the camera as if he is about to present the other cake before bringing out the baked cake. 18:31 I believe he shot white snakes out of his mouth.

Have you guys realized yet that their is another (the last one) confirmed side? I'll talk about it once someone comments on this because I'd feel bad if someone wanted to find it on their own.

I'm not the only Moceit shipper! Edit: I love your cosplay of deceit!

Moceit. Better known as ‘Dads’

I feel so bad for Logan. The way he says “not that any of you care, but I am unharmed. I just have one more fact to state and then I will do you all a favor and spare you my company.” (Or something like that.) Poor guy thinks the others don’t care about him or his wellbeing at all. But you could clearly see the concern on all of their faces! And you can see a slight second of relief on Patton’s face when Logan shows up, completely fine, but you quickly see that look of relief fade into a look of concern when Logan starts his sentence with “not that any of you care” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

So lots of spoilers and theories beyond this point, and apologies on it being really long. I think deceit is only a part of Janus, he seems to just be the embodiment of self preservation. When he lies or wants Thomas to lie, it’s to protect Thomas’s feelings or wellbeing (lying to lee and Mary lee would protect Thomas from rejection and let him do something he would really enjoy. While he was disguised as Logan this episode he actually came out with some really good information, that was factual and helped) but when Thomas needed the truth for his well-being, he gave it to him. When Patton was feeling depressed and worthless and needed to hear otherwise, Janus’s instinct was to be sarcastic but by his facial expressions you can see his hesitation but he reeled it in and comforted Patton with truth. They interacted well with each other at the end after Patton accepted Janus as a part of Thomas. I don’t think he lied to Roman when he nodded after Thomas said Roman was his hero, because it was something Roman needed to hear. But because Roman only sees Janus as deceit and “evil” he believes that everything he says and does is a lie. And when he made fun of Janus immediately after he made himself vulnerable, the self preservation kicked in and he lashed out. His interactions with the rest of the sides is in direct correlation with how the others see him. Patton respected Janus when he called him out and the relationship between them instantly got more friendly, Thomas and Janus started to banter back and forth after He was accepted as a part of Thomas’s personality. I think Logan and Janus are a bit more neutral, edging on unfriendly but Logan sees the value in Virgil and Remus from an objective standpoint, and I’m willing to bet he’ll do the same with Janus. Virgil doesn’t like Janus and Remus because they’re reminders of when he was (we think) “paranoia” -a part of his past that he hates more than anything. As soon as the dark sides are more visible and can be looked at objectively, each of their individual contributions are examined and can be seen as helpful, they shift. Even Remus, our hilarious trash panda. Thomas is able to recognize that Remus’s contributions are a part of him, and is able to recognize that a lot of it is intrusive thoughts. And in the videos since his debut, Thomas and the sides are able to handle Remus and acknowledge that a lot of it is just any and all random chaotic thoughts, that can be put aside or dealt with head on. Remus highlights parts of Thomas he doesn’t like and (however indirectly) gives Thomas the opportunity to grow as a person.

Am I the only one that completely agrees with Roman? Janus tried to manipulate him multiple times in earlier videos, and when Roman was sort of agreeing with Janus everyone was saying that was bad and that Janus was the bad guy. Next video he treats Janus like the bad guy, and then the others choose for Janus and basically ask Roman to accept him right there. He took a while to accept Virgil by seeing how important he is, but he hasn't really had that with Janus. So yes, he insulted his name, but was that really a 'jerk move'? I understand why he did that. Plus, before and while he said it he was clearly pretty angry (or something between angry and sad) or whichever word fits, I don't know which word to use, I hope you get what I mean, and when you're angry most people have less control over what you say. So what I'm about to say isn't the best metaphor but I feel like it's sort of like asking me to be nice to Donald Trump (and I don't like that man at all) but then I am Roman and Trump is Janus. This is just my opinion.

yeah is anyone else dying inside. this episode broke me. i am not okay

deceit is my boy, he's the best, i can 100% agree with you on that

roman is so attached to teenage levels of morality that when he sees the white o grey areas he acts like a child, is not helping thomas to grow up, everyone that sees how the debate ends cries because it make us remember that we are not kids anymore

*Gets new favorite side* Oop-

If your interested in a fun fact about janus's name it is actually a Greek name pook it up so you know why his name is Janis k Also love the Janis cosplay ♡♡♡

I’m just going to throw this theory into the comments. There’s a blank slot in the character section. The answer is pretty obvious. There are three Light Sides: Logan, Roman, and Patton. The three Dark Sides: Janus, Remus, and Virgil. Janus is the opposite of Patton because deceiving people is the opposite of being mindful of morals. Remus is the opposite of Roman because he’s the other side of creativity. Virgil is the opposite of Logan because he isn’t just anxiety, he’s paranoia. Paranoia is being anxious with no reason and logic. Thomas is technically a Light Side because he does his best to be good and the last Dark Side is everything that he doesn’t want to be.
