I like having a Janus Sanders who is AFAB but presents as a guy to get more of certain kinds of respect. Thing is, she leans so hard into the act that even the other sides either A) don't know that he was ever a girl, or B) do know what Janus is doing, but can't tell if they are actually transmasc and just using an excuse to transition, or if she really is just committing that hard to the bit.
Janus never clarifies because the comfort and validation coming from the confusion and secrecy outweighs any sort of gender dysphoria that he feels. Gender's a scam anyway, why shouldn't they have some fun with it?

I am currently unsure how much I would consider this a headcanon, or even a theory, but do you know how Virgil and Patton have been drifting apart? Have you also noticed how Virgil is progressively growing colder towards Patton, despite Patton trying his best? Granted, as we have seen, Patton's best can and has been counterproductive at times, but he is still making constant effort. His effort goes higher when he knows exactly what he's doing wrong, as he has an opportunity to focus on it. But Virgil is still distancing himself, and sometimes even appearing antagonistic, without explaining the core issue of why, even though we may have gotten hints or be able to tell the causes by being the viewer.
So I'd like to give you an idea, based on those points. What if the same exact thing happened between him and Janus? I would say Remus as well, but I'm not entirely sure this would have affected him as much as it would Janus. What if Virgil tried asking them to be better, and at the very least one of them tried? What if they didn't succeed, despite their best efforts, and their relationship got crushed under the weight of everything else that Virgil had left unsaid? What if Virgil's communication issues, his hypocrisy, and his black and white thinking was really their friendships' undoing?
This is not to neglect the issues that caused the rift, mind you. The boundary pushing, the manipulation, the constant disguising, the hiding of themselves, the knee-jerk reactions to criticism, those are all valid reasons for Virgil to be upset to begin with. But Virgil isn't innocent either. He can be just as hurtful, hide just as much of himself, and can be just as stubborn.
This is only furthered by Janus' reveal, which I have mentioned before. The lines:
Janus: "Virgil, buddy, I know you weren't too keen on it at first but...come on, could you stand to lose the support of one of Thomas' friends?"
Virgil: "Well yeah Thomas' friends make me feel more at ease, but Thomas lying would make me just as uneasy, and anyone who doesn't understand that should just shut up." - Virgil
Janus: "Virgil...it's me. Aren't we friends?"
Virgil: "I'm not so sure we are."
As well as Janus' behavior following this exchange showcase this idea. By this point, Virgil seemed to already know that Janus was disguised as Patton. They both tried to get each other to understand their perspectives. Janus was terrified of losing the support of a friend, and Virgil hated the idea of lying even more. Janus was manipulative during his part, and Virgil was aggressive during his. Virgil then casts doubt on the idea that they're even friends at all. This then causes the knee-jerk reaction that really all of the Othered Sides seem to have when they get hurt: they lash out. Janus pushes so hard for his argument that he gets himself caught, which seemed like it would not have happened had that interaction not taken place, and then targets Thomas himself in a negative way despite him later being uncovered as having the main goal of helping Thomas by any means possible. Janus was visibly hurt and, dare I say, caught off-guard by Virgil ending their friendship on camera without explaining.
This is all to say that maybe, based on the way Patton and Virgil's friendship is going downhill, the ending of Virgil's relationship with the Othered Sides may have been far more silent than many of us think. Further, the damage done in their history may have been much more mutual.
Count you as the second one that has started dying in my reblogs since I started posting again a few days ago lol. Much appreciated, thank you! For the compliment, not for dying. Though I guess those may be part of the same thing in this scenario if I am reading it correctly?
May I ask something of you? Okay, thank you. Can you think of anxceit for me, but with angst? Now, to expand upon that, imagine them so deeply in the closet that they are not finding Christmas decorations or childhood objects, but some secret third thing. Good, good, you're doing great! Now, please, picture this:
Virgil falls for Janus, and his face can't help but show it. His eyeshadow so frequently turns a lilac purple when in regards to Janus specifically. But Janus sees it as a threat to their peace, a threat to their safety, and so he tries his best to keep it hidden, and never addresses the underlying feelings outright. He turns Virgil's head away from the view of others, snaps to scare Virgil just enough that his eyeshadow goes back to normal, and tells Virgil to fix it by reapplying if it lingers past that. He pretends not to know what it means, if only so that he doesn't have to confront it. He doesn't want the friendship to change, and so he relies on Virgil not having the confidence to confess. He doesn't want to admit that he feels the same. If Virgil were to tell him, Janus would pretend that he doesn't reciprocate, if only to keep them all safe from ridicule. He'd bury it, try to get rid of that feeling, but it would never go away.
Now Virgil acts as hostile as he does to Janus in order to stay just anxious enough that his makeup doesn't switch to purple, and Janus tries to suppress even harder now that any chance with Virgil is, effectively, gone in his eyes. But one day, Virgil slips up, and does not put on a convincing enough act for himself. What takes place afterwards?

I am still just completely baffled as to how Patton found out about the shipping first when Virgil's literally a Tumblr user. Not to mention that he acted like he didn't even know what a ship, in that context at least, was. He just went along with Logan's definition of a literal ship. With how many fandoms this guy is in, judging based off of his room alone, as well as the fact that he was apparently so chronically online that he had a phase of only quoting things from Tumblr (granted, that second half of the sentence was present in neither a Sides nor Asides video and so is in no way actually canon), he should absolutely know what a ship is.
Give me a Virgil who 100% percent knows what his fandom has in store for him, and let him be terrified of it.

I can't remember if I've already posted something like this but:
Can you imagine that part of the reason Virgil and Remus started wearing makeup was to make sure that Janus didn't feel alone in standing out due to how his face looks? I feel like the other reason (or maybe the canon reason) they did it was because they generally seem to value the idea of individualism and being their own person, so to speak. But the idea of this being one of the core reasons for the makeup is still adorable to me.

the idea that virgil’s line of “i’m not so sure we are [friends]” starting to apply to either janus AND/OR patton makes my heart hurt in a very specific way
Oh absolutely. The thing I think that makes it worse is that Janus and Patton are reflections of each other. Despite them having different coping mechanisms and ways of outwardly presenting, their roles are not only deeply intertwined, but they also have similar behaviors. They both trend towards being emotional, silly, making puns, hiding their emotions, weighing in heavily on moral dilemmas, manipulation (Janus is the most overt but Patton has his own moments of also doing this), and a few other things. So it's not just that Virgil's repeating the same situation, it's almost like it's him rejecting Janus twice.
So I've been messing with the concept of Logan and the orange side, as well as that the sides often have some sort of animal attached to them. We don't really know what Logan's is, but I have an idea. This is just my imagination imagining, not an actual theory, but consider this: Logan is a phoenix. At the very least, merged together the way that he and orange are. I like the idea that Logan's animal part is something bird related, and the orange side brings the fire. Together, they make a phoenix, a symbol of transformation and rebirth. It represents that not only has change already happened that can not be undone, but that there will be more to come in the future. Whether it's for the better or for the worst, only time will tell.

however, this isn't over, we cannot become distracted.
keep eyes on Gaza.
as reported by various news agencies ( here, here & here ), israel has bombarded Gaza, and at least 29 people have been murdered since this morning.
israel has just bombed a residential building.
the brutality has yet to end.
keep eyes on Palestinian hostages.
over 10,000 Palestinians are being held in israeli custody at the moment. some data from April this year shows that 3,498 people are being held without charge or trial.
this also includes 400 children, 27 women and 299 people serving a life sentence.
there is extensive evidence of detainees undergoing physical & psychological torture in israeli custody.
keep eyes on the West Bank.
yesterday, a young man named Jihad Mohammed Ajaj, aged 26, was murdered by israeli settlers in Ramallah, the West Bank.
Palestinians continue to be terrorized – shot, detained, raided, and robbed every day.
please remember to keep eyes on your friends from Gaza. the ceasefire dosen't automatically stop the immense suffering, pain and trauma.
my friend Ahmed ( @mazen-fmaily ) is watching his father die before his eyes. each breath is a miracle.
his father has many medical issues, including kidney & heart desease. emergencies come up quite often, and Ahmed needs our financial support.
My name is Darius. I am raising money for Mazen, a Palestinian man from Khan Younis who is currently trapped in Gaza with his wife and six s
$12,088 / 40k has been raised at the moment. Ahmed tells me he needs $670 right now.
unfortunately, Ahmed has already lost his mother. he dosen't want to lose his father either.
this fundraiser is verified here & has an art incentive.
if you are reading this from the warmth of your home, there is no excuse not to help. sharing is completely free.
Until now, my family still has no shelter. Since yesterday, I haven’t even been able to raise 5% of the cost of a tent. The rain and cold are closing in, and all we dream of is one waterproof tent to keep us together. Please, if you can, donate, share, and speak about us so we are not left to vanish in silence.
