i actually really love roman and remus' emblems in regard to weaponry because to me, the shield and sword represent less their literal weapons (obviously not congruent) and more how they. act? fight? behave? with them. where roman doesn't have a shield, and remus doesn't have a sword, but in terms of who (what) they are as combatants, roman is a shield, and remus is a sword.

roman shields, defends, protects with his sword. he is a defender of the innocent (and of thomas' dreams, in a more real less fairytale sense). roman Is a shield. and he uses a sword to accomplish this.

remus, meanwhile, uses a morningstar, but he attacks, fights, pushes things that nobody else pushes, being an offensive force, of sorts. he is a sword, he cuts.

i do not have a nice wrapping up of this but i enjoy the potential symbolism in their emblems from this angle ~🌙

oh yeah i agree 100% the symbolism is awesome and i do genuinely like how their symbols and weapon choices reflect their characters

roman has a sword, but his emblem is in the shape of a shield.

not☝️necessarily a problem. sword and shield is a tried and true combo. i’d go as far to say that more people (myself included) should give roman more shield time because shields are awesome.

and then we got remus. bitch ass. father fucker. remus.

his weapon is a morning star. which is sick as fuck for the record.

but his emblem.

is a SWORD.

bull fucking shit.

which leaves three options (note: does not actually leave any explanation bc who tf cares)

1- remus is a bitch and is fucking with me specifically

2- remus is a bitch and is fucking with roman specifically (most likely)

anyways here’s my three Sanders Sides fics

^ hurt/comfort prinxiety with a healthy dose of insecure Roman angst

^ more Roman angst based on my chimera headcannon. Ft Janus being a sweetheart.
