Because the first thing I thought when I saw it was WAIT I have seen that orangey jacket before

It was in LNTAO with this lovely blue (*cough* Logan's color *cough*) shirt. Ya know, the episode where Logan had his little uncharacteristic outburst and threw a paper ball at puppet Roman?

And where the lighting behind him up the stairs has a suspiciously orange cast to it?

Yep. There's also a glimpse of a very similar jacket (in addition to some other orange items) in WTIT in Thomas' room when one of Remus' contraptions is set in motion, right before Nico appears and Logan goes all orange-eyes at Remus.

And then it appears again in the anniversary video, where we get yet another teaser of the orange side in the end card. Seems like the jacket is a subtle little nod to the orange side if you ask me.

ALSO

Thomas' shirt in the anniversary video is reminiscent of the flower/skull shirt he wore in CLBG:

Possibly the skull motif in the anniversary special shirt is a hint that there is another unknown, possibly dangerous, side (aka orange) on the horizon? This would be in line with Thomas also wearing a shirt with a skull on in it in CLBG, when Janus was introduced.

The colors on the anniversary shirt also make me think that it’s meant to represent all the sides introduced so far, since it includes all their colors (red for Roman, blue for Logan and Patton, purple for Virgil, yellow for Janus, and green for Remus) but notably no orange. These sides have all been acknowledged and accepted (more or less) by Thomas and he recognizes them as an essential part of himself and his decision-making process, which corresponds with them being represented by the shirt, an item of clothing which (despite what Remus would claim) is an essential part of Thomas’ outfit.

And if the shirt represents the known sides, the jacket represents the orange side. The jacket is a part of Thomas' outfit, but it's not as essential or as important as his shirt, and it is separated from Thomas himself by a degree by his shirt, which aligns with how the orange side is currently situated; he is still a part of Thomas, but he is unknown and unaccepted, so while he still has a presence and shows up indirectly on occasion, he stands apart from both the others and Thomas.

Anywho, I think we've seen that Thomas' clothes do tend to hold some meaning (think the space shirt in the Logan-centric WTIT and the shifting floral/skull design in CLBG) and I don't think any item of clothing has ever been worn twice like the orangey jacket has, so maybe this is overanalyzing something insignificant but maybe it's not?

In response to Logan's insecurity, Virgil sings "no one wants to be a joke—", but is interrupted, and genuinely surprised at the others' interruption.

Dates: TBD

FAQ:

When is more information coming out?

Soon, I hope! I'm currently brainstorming prompts and will be releasing information ASAP. I don't want the dates of the other characters to be too close together, while not interfering with the ship appreciation weeks, as to give everyone a time to rest. The last thing I want is for anyone to burn out.

Who can join?

Anyone! Artists, cosplayers, writers, editors, playlist makers, etc!

Is this run like the ship appreciation weeks?

I hope to do something similar. While not exact, I will be reblogging the entries. Admittedly, I came across this idea due to a friend of mine mentioning that there should be a side appreciation week like the ship weeks. So credit of the idea goes to the ship week admins and my friend.

What is the official hashtag?

Please tag your works with #loganappreciationweek (please make sure you spell it correctly).

What should I do to get my work noticed and reblogged?

Tagging me and using the hashtag will work. At the very least, do one or the other, but both is preferable.

Will there be appreciation weeks for the other sides (+Remy and Emile)?

Yes! I am currently planning appreciation weeks for the six sides; I may do Remy, Emile, and other shorts (maybe even c!Thomas!) if I enjoy doing this. For now, however, I believe the six are enough.

I haven't seen anyone point this out so hopefully i'm the first one!!

Remember the little note we saw from Nico? The one with his phone number?

I thought uh, Thomas does put a big ammount of effort on detail, maybe those numbers mean something!

I couldn't find anything for 555, didn't thought i would anyways but 2429 did bring something interesting.

Just saying, we all know the impact of color orange in this episode.

Ok it might have been a bit of an hyperbole to say there is "strong evidence" hahah

But there have been at least three very very tense moments regarding this:

Both Roman and Logan got halfway through saying "paranoia" only to be hastly cut off and looking at Virgil very pointely.

And Janus implied on court that Virgil was still lying about something, now this one might very well be the "I used to be a dark side"

But even then, what changed? You don't think Virgil just decided one day "omg yeah I can just go there and become good like what's stopping me :D go for it king!"

They didn't like virgil before, but they never regarded him with the title "dark side", which Roman was all too happy to spill as soon as he could(could be because it was very early on the series.... But also no, because also very early on the series Roman said "You are not like the others")

I do believe they are leaving hints to incorporate Virgil's "old identity" into this, what I mean is, SOMETHING changed that allowed Virgil a CHANCE to join the table, he might not have been something like "the heart!" But he became something useful

Something akin to deceit trying to call himself "selfcare" now days

I think Virgil changed his function, or something made him change, and now something it's affecting Logan.

I must say I'm not betting it all here, it might be a case of another side affecting Logan, and it seems very likely to me it is that.

If I talk about my feelings about Logan I will Not be able to control my emotions so to keep it short:
