- Donβt ask what I mean by divorce. Itβs not really a single event and more like a slow erosion of their relationship.
- Iβm gonna be a bit of a contrarian and say I do not think the dark sides were inheritly familial or had a similar dynamic to the light sides. I just donβt think it would work for their functions and how Thomas perceives them. I imagine they have/had a bit of an βUs vs Themβ mentality, and they were probably closest in the earlier days (like how we saw the baby sides in WIDS) because all they really had was each other. Each of them were still finding their footing, trying to figure out what (and who) they really were (a headcanon of mine is that the dark sides probably took longer to develop their own identities compared to the light sides because they were so repressed) and suddenly they were being shunned simply for doing their jobs! And if those βlight sideβ jerks are going to push them around, the least they can try and do is stick together (which eventually led to a real bond!). I really think their relationship was less of a genuine familial bond and more of a βthese are MY people so I gotta stick by them no matter what.β Theyβre like a weird codependent high school friend group
- The exception to this is Virgil because HOT TAKE I DONT THINK HE WAS EVER THAT FAMILIAL WITH THE DARK SIDES (with the exception of Orange)!! At least not on the same level as with the Light Sides. Close? Absolutely! But much of that closeness was built out of circumstance rather than a genuine friendship. The amount of vitriol on both sides always gave me the impression that theyβ¦ never really had a super positive relationship. I (and a friend) believe that Virgil was actually alone for a very long time and only joined the dark sides (despite being quite afraid of them) because 1. He believed working with them was the best way to protect Thomas, and 2. He wanted companionship. As they all grew, Virgil probably rejected the others the same way he does in canon (βtheyβre evil and canβt be trustedβ)
- I think that (outside of my Orange and Virgil theoryslop) that Janus and Virgil were the closest because they had very similar methods to protecting Thomas (hiding!), while Remus and Virgil probably fed into each otherβs worst traits which made them weird codependent sort of friends, and Janus and Remus felt as though they could be themselves around each other without judgement
- If I think about who actually βformedβ the dark sides as a group, it was 100% Janus (heβs Repressionmaxxing), but I like to imagine Orange was like the heart of the group and kept them all together. He was very lonely.
- If I had to give them actual family roles? Janus is the crappy wine aunt who gets saddled with his three plucky orphan nephews. They sort of hate each other but they learn to coexist through the Power Of Love or something
- The only dark side (former or present) Orange even remotely likes anymore is Remus, and thatβs pushing it
- They donβt miss each other but they also donβt DONβT miss each other. Secret third thing

Oh I think I found some cut content near the finale.
Where they fight vampire Clarice on the way out there's a massive unused area there. I can only assume that this entire sequence was originally meant to be extended, perhaps switching between the two fighting Clarice and those who climbed the rope?
Here's where the group comes in
The area where they climb up the ropes is fully rendered
And so is the passage you can see back there
In fact, it stretches back quite far and is fully finished and lit
Until it eventually opens up into a large unfinished area
Which is where things get weird. Uh, what is this doing down here? (Maybe worth noting, I didn't request air support and Merwin did not fix the radio. There's zero reason for this to be here, nevermind the fact it's underground.)
Uhhh?
It looks like the skybox for the eclipse? (Was the finale originally meant to be them emerging into the eclipse already starting and helicopters fighting the vampires? It's the only thing I can think of that fits what's going on here.)
A random bottle floating around down here
I eventually found this area which leads back around to where we started with the group entering the lower area
Contradictory label culture is being cishetqueer and seeing "cishets DNI" in someone's about and then seeing that they're also radinclus. Like, what do I do???
What a weird thing to put in a dni, a Cishet person being queer isn't that hard to understand and also idk it's just weird as shit, why even put an identity in your dni??

My dad posted a picture on Facebook of a little girl, that I have never seen before, in a hospital bed with no words and like I guess Iβll text him tonight and ask him who the heck that is.
