#irrationality

He does not consider the wider implications of his decisions. He does not take responsibility when these decisions go wrong. Instead, he acts on whim and impulse, and when he changes his mind—when he feels new whims and new impulses—he simply lies about whatever he said or did before. »

I used to think Orange was ignorance bc of Logan shouting to Remus ‘stop ignoring me’ and flashing orange eyes and then I thought of how everyone kinda ignored Logan and thought it was ignorance because also it wasn’t ’doing it’s duties’ as a side even a dark side

But then I thought it was stupid so i did some research

Rather than Orange simply representing Wrath or Anger, I think Orange is the true opposite of Logan by representing Irrationality. Logan embodies logic, reason, objectivity, and consistent thinking, whereas Orange embodies distorted reasoning, bias, emotional reasoning, rationalization, and hypocrisy. Orange doesn’t necessarily ignore logic altogether—he twists it to justify conclusions that were reached irrationally in the first place. This also explains why Orange appears to target Logan more than the other Sides: Logan’s entire purpose is to seek truth through reason, while Orange undermines reason itself.

Like how Roman and Remus represent different expressions of creativity—Roman portraying its healthy, constructive side and Remus portraying its chaotic and destructive side—Logan and Orange could represent opposing expressions of reasoning. Logan’s rationality naturally leads to fairness, consistency, and justice, while Orange’s irrationality naturally results in corrupted justice: biased judgments, double standards, hypocrisy, and decisions that feel justified despite being objectively unfair. In this theory, Bad Justice isn’t Orange’s core identity but rather the way his irrationality manifests. That also distinguishes him from Janus, whose focus is deception and self-preservation. Orange wouldn’t be about lying or protecting oneself; he’d be about genuinely believing distorted reasoning and using it to justify unfair actions, making him Logan’s perfect foil both intellectually and morally.

For Orange’s symbol if we’re going for it representing Irrationality and portraying Corrupted (bad) Justice then I’m thinking like an eye
