Sometimes I think about how each of the sides name reveals are like coming out.
Logan was outed, it wasn't a choice but it was ok in the end, he was also really chill about it.
Roman clarified to make things easier and more comfortable. He just said it and moved on like it was no big deal, just a conversation.
Patton was also really chill about, he joked about it. Like it was obvious and nothing crazy.
Virgil had to build a lot of trust before he could vulnerable like that. He was scared of being made fun of so he just blurted it out
Remus was proud of it, he had nothing to hide and if you don't like it boo hoo. But he also uses it as a tool.
Janus was bullied. It took a lot of trust for him to say it, he wanted to bridge the gap between himself and the others by revealing this part of himself. Unfortunately he was immediately made fun of for it.
Now most of the sides names reveals can be seen as pretty positive coming outs. In the end they have been (no long viciously outcasted but) accepted. A lot of them were calm about the whole situuation and for some it's not a huge deal, but for others it is. It marks the trust they have for the others and Thomas.
(I've had this on the brain for way too long)
Whether you get outed and made fun of or you come out on your own terms and keep it light, stay safe out there. It's not a race and there is certainly no finish line so take your time. Happy pride!
