Not an art ask, just wanted to know if you'd go on a rant about your favorite Sanders Side? Thomas really be making us wait for the reveal of the orange side 😭
Okay so I had a whole thing cued up here, but then I got distracted and I opened a Tumblr notification and it lost what I had 😭. So here we go, round 2.
I think my favorite side out of all our favorites little boys, would have to be Logan, although I really like Remus too. I've seen a bunch of those posts comparing season one Logan to current Logan and I just- noooooo. Not my sweet little nerdy specs. He's so open and enthusiastic in the beginning but then everyone ignores him and he minimizes his role in discussion to minimize how much people ridicule him. It's like how when people treat someone like a certain something for long enough, they begin to act like it. So when people started treating Lo's contributions as insignificant, he started pulling away from discussion more, distancing and detaching himself from things he would've actually been excited about before. Like how in Are There Healthy Distractions, Logan doesn't wear his unicorn onesie, and says "I don't wear those anymore, they're too childish." despite meaning that he didn't get to vote in what movie they watched. And then at the end of the episode, we see Lo in his onesie, hugging it and apologize for saying that it was childish.
Now of course, this was probably played for comedic purposes, but it shows that Logan was embarrassed about something he actually really likes, even to the point of putting it down. He's trying harder and harder to be taken seriously, yet all of his efforts have yielded minimal results. My boy is going to get burnt out like a crisp if one of two things don't happen. Either 1. Thomas and the rest of the sides finally realize what Logan is going through and take our boy more serious, or 2. Logan realizes that Thomas and his fellow sides don't mean to hurt him, they *do* care about him, but they are just a tad oblivious. Obviously we're all rooting for option number 1, but if option number 2 does happen, maybe Logan will become more comfortable in his own skin, and develop a stronger and more resilient sense of self that will be invaluable later on.
Anyways, there's my rant, hope you enjoyed it (wow this got much longer than I was anticipating). And yeah, we all are ~~not so~~ patiently waiting for the reveal of a new cool side
