#tss analysis

1. on a deleted stream (or at least, people have had trouble locating the dialogue) joan once indicated that janus' red eye was a permanent injury from orange side, but this would be too dark for the show to address. ofc joan isnt a writer on the show anymore so this could very well be scrapped/will never be considered official canon/never addressed in the show but its worth logging

2. if the above is true, isnt it interesting that its the Different eye that gets targeted?

3. in lntao, the paper logan throws hits roman's eye

4. patton and logan notably have eye accessories

5. remus and virgil have their distinct eye makeup

6. ^ why is roman the only side we know of WITHOUT something drawing attention to the eyes??

7. logan's eyes flash orange when he is upset for SOME reason. it is difficult to pin this reason because we don't know the purpose of orange yet, but it obviously corresponds with whatever he represents (ie, !!!IF!!!! orange was justice, the orange flash isnt due to raw anger, its because logan feels as though something isnt fair)

8. virgil's eyeshadow directly corresponds with his -> thomas's feelings. when thomas is upset enough, the other sides can be influenced to express dark eyeshadow WITHOUT KNOWING.

9. this means that virgil doesnt know when his eyeshadow exhibits eustress versus distress. it is a natural chameleonlike marking, in a sense (something something snake reptile chameleon reptile whatever u get what i mean)

10. virgil either had to SEE himself with purple eyeshadow or be TOLD that it happens. given the negative correlation he has with it - evidenced by the new ep saying he gets nervous about when hes less nervous because of the positive nervousness (WEVE ALL SEEN THE SHOW OK) and also evidenced by him deliberately covering it up.

11. virgil artificially enhances his black eyeshadow. he would rather seem to others unhappy and upset than show that he's happy because he views it as a weakness somehow. this is different to other sides pretending that they are "fine" so as not to cause trouble - virgil attempts to circumvent trouble by becoming its embodiment, in a sense

12. somehow subtly working in puppet!virgil's heterochromia... it could have been an aesthetic choice but i CHOOSE to believe it's deeper. something about being partially blinded? in opting to only display one side of oneself? maybe another permanent injury? maybe reminiscent of his status as both "light" and "dark?"

13. logan's eyes flashing orange is... tricky, at least, to classify. i honestly believe that this happens because logan is most easily influenced by orange or is most likely to see eye to eye with him, whether it be because their functions are similar or because logans recent treatment makes him more susceptible to the function that orange serves. EITHER WAY, i think that if ANY of the sides are pushed enough, their eyes can flash. this is based off the reality that virgil being the loudest voice (literally and figuratively) gave the others eyeshadow - this DOES NOT mean it happens to the others on their own, as it doesnt happen again. what it DOES mean is that virgil and his function had the most influence over everyone

14. OK so remember how i said that the sides werent aware of their eyeshadow? what i mean is that first, patton asked roman when he applied eyeshadow, to which roman says that he didnt - a few minutes later, roman says, "hey, patton!!! eyeshadow buddies!!" ie informing patton about it. so, again, virgil had to FIND OUT that he had eyeshadow at all, had to FIND OUT that it changes, and had to FIND A WAY to deal with it because he thought it was a problem. where am i going with this??? I DONT THINK LOGAN KNOWS THAT HIS EYES CHANGE. i think he recognizes that he feels frustrated and acts out of turn, but i dont think he knows what happens. if he does, he has to have been informed, as both remus and janus now have canonically NOTICED and remus went as far as to say something about it

15. i could go on for a while about why remus probably wants orange to be acknowledged BUT instead im going to stay on theme. does remus have eye makeup just to slay or does it serve a purpose?? given the pattern, i'd honestly guess it's indicative of something. i wonder what it would look like if we got the effect of his makeup on all the sides because for whatever reason, remus had the most influence at a certain point

16. its also established in canon that patton cannot see well without his glasses. ergo, they arent just for decoration there. i honestly love that detail because its really important to remember that theyre sides of c!THOMAS and so they share flaws and shortcomings as cthomas' person. in patton's case, he overlooks things, doesnt have all the answers, often cant make clear decisions and struggles with black and white thinking (skmething something patton sanders autistic REAL!!!)

he went from reacting like this to remus’s contributions, screaming or looking visibly horrified or telling remus to stop

to just casually replying to remus when he suggested that janus might have gifted him a dead animal.

(TW for images and mentions of injuries)

If you must know, I was the one who posted about Janus' eye blemish back in 2024 [Here's the link] and ever since then the fandom has adapted greatly to it to the point of it reaching Thomas I've heard. I didn't even expect this payout at all and it's genuinely shocking to say the least. However, I have a few add-ons to contribute to that old post that may build up the theory or just end up giving you all more fanon fuel. Whichever is totally okay with me.

According to a recent livestream, Thomas has allegedly debunked the scar by saying that it's just a natural snake marking and I vaguely remember him always claiming this before. Yet, Joan had their interpretation as it being implied to be a scar by using it as a way to make Janus seem gross and menacing. Talyn at the time also contributed to the design and it was a combined agreement between them during the designing and writing of the character due to their shared interest in sci-fi body horror. However, the implication that it's a scar for scary purposes seems offensive to those with long lasting injuries. It would make it more respectable if there was a canon explanation, but it may be too much to get into sensibly or from a writing standpoint although it wouldn't be hard to try.

Theory One: Is it Genetics?

The answer: No. At least, not in Janus' case. See, there are snakes that have red or pink pigmentation for example the Western CoachWhip or the Coral Snow Cornsnake. Some snakes are naturally born pink before growing into their scales. Another instance of pink or reddish skin would be from leucistic or albino snakes. These snakes are typically pure or off white morphs and are considered rare. Any albino animal often has red eyes. Another possibility is that of it being red blood vessels under the dead skin and they tend to swell when a snake is approaching shedding time. Yet, the sign of shedding for a snake involving their eyes is usually them becoming a foggy blue or grey color and not pink or red unless it's a shedding albino or light colored morph. There's also a genetic phenomenon known as chimera or paradox morphs which are described as the fusing of two different embryos causing two distinct DNA pigments like white snakes with dark spots or snakes with split patterned bodies. Another instance of genetics would be deformities or mutations. Common deformities snakes tend to endure during development range from cleft lips, "shark mouth" or a misaligned jaw, missing eye(s), scoliosis spines and bicephaly(two heads). None of these involved a skin specific deformity.

Now, implying this all to Janus, several things are clear. The obvious first example is that Janus is not any of those specific species of the snakes mentioned. If anything, he's been linked to Mangroves and Anacondas. And, even with that in mind, his scales are often depicted as various shades of green in many pieces of canon merch and media like the YouTooz figure and plushie as well as his two sprites in POF/Redux. Even in the GRWM tutorial video where he showed us how to accurately replicate his features, two shades of green were used. This also proves that he's not an albino or leucistic since his scales aren't white. His snake eye is not red and is depicted as an off-yellow color. He can't be a paradox or chimera morph snake since he's more of a chimera in the sense that he is a fusion of both snake and human DNA and not two different snake DNAs fused. It has been stated that allegedly Janus does shed, however if the redness is a sign of shedding and we see the blemish all the time when he's present then that would insinuate that he's always shedding. In theory that would work with his "self-care" symbolism with ever-evolving but according to Janus himself in the GRWM video that could be 'semi-canon', he stated that he sheds 2 to 4 times a year which is in the typical range for adult snakes. Also, the reason a snake's eyes become foggy during shedding is due to fluid build up under the spectacles or eye caps that covers their unblinking eyes since they lack eyelids. Janus clearly has eyelids, so either he has a whole patch of skin over his eye or he was just lying and he doesn't shed at all which just makes the whole shedding excuse impossible to believe. It is clear that Janus lacks any of the deformities that snakes are prone to having since he's of human form and technically his snake genetics are a mutation that C!Thomas' mental development forced upon him during his imaginary conception. And, obviously Janus wasn't born or hatched in the literal sense. So, it is conclusive that Thomas' answer is questionable. Yes, it could be an aesthetic choice like the streak of silver in Remus' hair but Thomas has stated that this blemish is "just a snake thing" even though the evidence proves otherwise. And, Joan's implication insinuates that it was a scar for the aesthetic choice of making him look gross and menacing. Thomas could've realized the negative stereotype of Joan's statement and retconned it but it would be a great representation for those left scarred by past injuries or mentally left scarred by their past if it was given more thought.

Theory Two: Is it an Injury?

The answer: Likely. See, most often if not, snakes are prone to their own set of accidents. These accidents result in unintentional injuries. However, some of these accidents can be due to poor care. Oftentimes, snakes get injured by larger predators in the wild or even get scratched or bitten by their own prey. During shedding, a snake may rub his body and face against any hard and jagged surface to loosen the dead skin since they obviously lack the limbs to remove it. This action can result in injuries like scrapes, scratches and cuts. Poor care can lead to resorting to pulling and tearing the shed off prematurely by hand in a rough demeanor which can result in tearing their scales and skin underneath which then leaves them with flesh-like pink scarring. Something similar to this is a snake getting caught in any adhesive product like glue traps or tape used for cheap grates or mesh covers on enclosures. This adhesive can irritate their scales and removing it slowly is crucial to avoid the same tearing of skin that prematurely pulling their dead shed would. Then there's the largest and most likely injury for this blemish pigmentation and that's a burn. Snakes are often burned by surfaces they slither against or over, typically being heating lamps over the enclosure or heated pads that are too hot underneath. In the wild, they can burn themselves either by slithering over hot rocks or asphalt roads with the obvious burn injury coming from forest fires. The pigmentation of the burn is red or pinkish in the hue and if left untreated, it can become inflamed and infected. The other option is blemishes due to illness. Many snakes suffer from conditions like scale rot and mites which can leave their scales with red or black spotting that's not normal. Fluid filled blisters or abscesses that are reddish in color can also form due to high humidity levels and bacterial infection. Some unnatural red pigmentation can be due to dehydration. There's also the likelihood of Snake Fungal Disease which can cause crusty or scabby disfiguring lumps or lesions.

Now, since Janus is also half human, there are some eye related infections that would cause this kind of blemish. Allergies are fairly common to cause itchy red eyes from pollen or dander. Other more serious infections can range from styes, cellulitis, eczema or blepharitis which can cause red, itchy or inflamed skin or swelling. Environmental causes can again be pollen or dander but also any harsh chemicals or gas getting in one's eyes. And obviously, red or inflamed eyes can be a result of injury such as a scratched cornea, foreign object or blocked tear ducts with the most obvious being...bruises. Getting punched in the eye is the most likely to cause this kind of pigmentation due to blood pooling in the area from physical trauma endured and depending on the health of the person can take days or weeks if not months to fully heal. There's also a condition known as "raccoon eyes" which can be an underlying blood related disorder or disease. I even questioned someone I know personally on the matter that burns can result in the same deep red inflammation since they were a burn victim themselves and stated that the blemish on Janus resembles their graphs and scars.

Apply all of this to Janus, it's clear that this blemish takes up his entire eye socket. Since Janus has the capability to pull off his stuck shed without needing to rub it against anything negates the accidental self injury. However, this isn't the first time a theory has spawned over a self inflicted injury. Someone actually started this scar theory way back in 2019 on Amino with one take being that Janus hated his scales and picked them off of his face which left the scar. This take has been used in some fanfics and fanart before, so this scar theory isn't new. There is the likelihood of it being an accident. On the comedic end, maybe Janus got stuck in some adhesive and Remus or whoever just tore it off like a wax strip. On the more serious end, maybe it was stuck shed over his eye that was torn off prematurely. It could be an accidental burn from maybe his own heating to regulate his cold-blooded body. It could also be due to an illness or defect that he may suffer due to his snake DNA.

On the darker end of speculation, there's the take I originally proposed and that was, what if someone else hurt him? Again, we're not sure if it was an accident or on purpose but we can weigh the possibilities. One, it could've been a "wrong place, wrong time" injury. Two, it could have been a "selfless act" injury he took. And Three, it could be a purposefully inflicted injury whether it was out of malice or not. The speculation is on who might've done it. My first take would be Remus. With him however, it would most likely be accidental because he never would intentionally hurt any of the Sides purely out of malice or hatred and mostly just in impulse. Yet, it has been confirmed that what Remus does never lasts and disappears as soon as it happens like the Intrusive Thoughts that he supplies. That's why Logan was able to bounce back so quickly from his advances and how Remus healed his eye so quickly in WTIT. Roman was just too caught off guard to prep. If Remus gave Janus the scar on accident, it would be long gone by now but it's been there ever since Janus appeared. If the Sides can heal or regenerate to a certain degree, why hasn't Janus tried to heal or conceal this blemish? Is it that he can't and it's permanent or is it still something that holds enough sentiment that he chooses not too. You'd think that since he's Self-Care that he'd fix it or keep it from getting worse but it's just gotten darker over time(ignoring makeup change). This blemish has to be significant enough for Janus to still have it and not even try to explain or cover it yet. This leads into the next candidate for blame: Virgil. We know that Virgil and Janus have a history and personal vendetta between each other due to something or multiple things. Who's to say that Virgil didn't have a moment similar to Logan throwing the paper at Roman and hurt Janus out of heated resentment during a fight? This could be something that Virgil is guilty of and Janus keeps the scar because it's a permanent reminder to Virgil of what he did and the wound in their shattered relationship. It's also likely that Virgil could've done something accidentally and was not spurred on that hurt him at the wrong time. Then there's the third and final culprit: Orange. In Joan's implication, they did hint to the Orange Side and how it correlates to him. Now, this could be a hint to the fact Orange himself will have his own scarring, physical features or eye significance and it has no link to Janus at all. Yet, if Orange did hurt Janus since it does resemble a burn and he's tied to fire imagery, this is where it could be purposeful. What if Orange has his own heated rivalry with Janus over something and this injury was a result of that. Maybe, Janus has it permanently as a reminder of what could happen if he crosses him. Orange could've hated the fact of Janus keeping him caged and repressed and he retaliated. Or, Orange and Virgil could've had an argument that escalated and Janus stepped in or was an unfortunately affected bystander. Either way, the likelihood of it being Orange's doing is higher than Virgil or Remus. It also doesn't help that for a while people were pointing out eye injuries towards the other sides since the crumbled paper incident. Sure, Thomas called those coincidences, but then explain the new knife eye injury for Remus in WTIT, the moment with the ORANGE stress ball being thrown at Roman's eye by JANUS in the Quotes and all the eye related imagery lately which I'll discuss in a later post.

💛🐍💛🐍💛🐍💛🐍💛🐍💛🐍💛🐍💛

In conclusion

Sure, I could be being pedantic and overthinking it but there's too much to ignore in my opinion. Yes, it was aesthetic at first but the insinuation of it being "gross" scar tissue is intriguing. It would be an interesting story plot for Janus and add depth to him. Even if it was just a silly accident on his end, it would add something to him. It would be a way to show how physically or mentally long lasting scars can affect us. The idea of Janus having a physical scar to reflect C!Thomas' mental scars would be a cool touch. As a matter of fact, in my previous post, I sighted Zuko and Harvey Dent as possible evidence since they were tied to either Thomas' personal inspirations for his writing or were directly referenced at Janus. Then there are other scarred villains and vigilantes like Janus whose scars tell multiple stories in different ways like Scar from The Lion King. There was also Volley and Lars from Steven Universe which someone pointed out in the reblogs. And, Lars suspiciously has a similar outfit to Janus' and he's worn that before Janus even appeared. Inspiration or coincidence, you decide. Then again, Janus appeared on February 3rd 2018 and Lars changed his outfit in January of that year and they probably had the design for Janus way before that but who's to say that they didn't see the similarity and ran with it afterwards since Steven Universe is one of Thomas' inspirations for some plots and aspects of the Sides series. So, in all seriousness, Thomas could have lied and said it's just a snake thing to cover the fact that there is a story behind it now even if there wasn't one planned originally or if there was, it has been altered to be more sensible.

In the end, this could all just be an unfortunate fun fact that was retconned and will never be addressed or talked about again and I'm wrong or it could be actually true and will be explained later. Overall, I'm glad to have at least spilled some past lore for the fandom to use for their own creative work whether it's canon or not. You can continue your headcanons, fanfics and fanart of it all since it's great to see. And who knows, if it gains enough traction, it could become canon like other fandom wide jokes and theories. Either way, it's all up to fate at this point. Is Janus scarred? Maybe not. If he is, I can't wait to see what story is behind it.

Ps, I don't recommend contacting Joan in regards to this due to them having their own life and projects to focus on now. While it would be great to have their input, it's best to leave them be and respect their peace. As for the lack of proof of the 2019 Livestream where Joan confirmed this whole thing, the stream has long since been archived and marked private since 2020 when the YouTube Membership closed and can't be obtained. I can see if I have the clip archived but it's likely gone forever unfortunately.

Master Gokul, is that really you; what a surprise see you on two lists in Season 1, episode 7 (Van Rook's Apprentice).

One random thing that annoys me sometimes for some reason is when people refer to Patton solely as Thomas’ “moral side.” Like, when someone is introducing all the sides, they say the Logan is logic, Virgil is anxiety, Roman is creativity and passion, and Patton is morality.

The series may have recently been leaning into the moral aspect of Patton more, but he has previously been established to be a lot more broad than that. He preserves all of Thomas’ more nostalgic memories (as shown in Moving On Parts 1 & 2). He encourages Thomas to do the little things that make him happy (Mind vs. Heart and Growing Up show this especially well). He often says that he is Thomas’ emotions, or at least holds them.

Patton is fun and playful and sometimes ignores doing these more “ethics” centric duties in order to just enjoy life. In fact, most of the time, it seems like being Thomas’ moral compass is kind of a side gig rather than his main job.

His sense of morality is also shown to be both firm and loose at the same time. He has his core central values, and definitely has some of the more simplistic stuff down, but most of his more complex moral decisions are pretty in the moment and it feels like those more intense ones are more...shaky? If that’s the right word? His moral compass gets very confused and mixed up quite easily, and while that can happen to us all, it seems odd for a side whose whole thing is morality.

I was thinking about his almost contradictory nature a bit ago, as the title wasn’t adding up to me. How can he be Morality but also be the one in charge of the majority of Thomas’ emotions? That doesn’t make any sense. He seems more like just Thomas’ emotions who strongly affects his morals. So what does he have to do with morality? Then I remembered something that was right in front of my face: they don’t always refer to him as morality. Sometimes, they would call him Thomas’ “heart.”

And that makes so much more sense than him being morality specifically. Him being the heart explains everything about him and his actions. Metaphorically, we say that our feelings are stored in the heart, and that our heart is where some of our more instinctual morals are. The heart is often carefree and sometimes a bit fickle, often changing course in the moment.

It also explains why Patton’s moral dilemmas felt so weird to me. Because he isn’t morality specifically. He is more the instinctual and emotion driven side of morality. You could argue that ethics are always driven by emotion, but ethics also do sometimes have a sense of “logic” to them. Ethics are complicated, which is likely why Patton has such a hard time with his morality. It’s because it’s only a part of his job, and it isn’t his job alone.

So everything made sense. Patton isn’t Morality, he is Heart. He is Thomas’  sadness, happiness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust. He is the most simplistic and yet most complex side. His job is probably one of the hardest, in a way, as he carries many of the most all consuming and overwhelming emotions, like sadness and grief.

Now, there are other sides like Virgil and perhaps the Orange side (if people’s theories are correct) who are in charge of certain emotions. But Patton is in charge of the basic ones specifically. Thomas has a fear of spiders, and therefore Patton has a fear of spiders, whereas Virgil doesn’t. If we are going with the theory that Orange is something like Wrath or Rage, that is still slightly different from anger. And we rarely associate anger with the heart either way, unless it is very deeply rooted. On top of this, Rage and Wrath are much more festering, something that doesn’t seem to fit with what Patton is about.

All in all, this is my probably completely pointless post about why Patton is Thomas’ Heart, not his Morality. This is a really dumb thing to get annoyed over, but I just needed to let it out. It can lead to so many misconceptions about him as a character if we go with the mindset that his entire title is Morality rather than Thomas’ Heart. I’m pretty sure that everyone will read this post and say “well yeah, duh, we already know that. Way to state the obvious and get worked up over nothing.” But in my defense, I am neurodivergent and particular about everything.

If you could choose two sanders sides character arcs to focus on for the finale, what would they be and why???

ty!!

hmm logan and remus. i'm totally not biased because they're two of my favorites lmao

so i know with wtit they've already had a little story dedicated to them, but they parallel each other and i think it would make for an interesting story for c!thomas to realize he's pushing them BOTH away.

this was gonna be a short answer but i ended up writing an essay sorry lmao

like in season one it was pretty textbook yeah? like he's an edgy loner antagonist who is revealed to actually want human connection and puts up a front yeah? a familiar arc written really well yeah?

and THEN we met all these other sides and as it turns out he was one of them

WHICH GIVES AN ENTIRELY NEW CONTEXT TO HIS WHOLE SEASON 1 DEVELOPMENT

he's no longer just pushing people away to make sure they get his point really clearly, he's got a whole past to be running from, potentially trying to protect himself from the same thing happening again, and also needing a support system really badly and not really being able to effectively get one.

i mean how many more layers are there now than when season one was actually happening and we haven't even really gotten any details?? we don't really know what it was like for virgil during season 1 while he wasn't around logan roman and patton (ya know, structure of the narrative and all), what made him have such bad relations with janus and remus, must i go on?

but my favorite part is that we are most likely going to get the answers to these questions, learn what the heck was going on behind the scenes in season one, which means virgil's arc is going to continue retroactively without altering any events we've already seen, i swear to god i'm so hyped

virgil is just such a good example of how this series pulls so much from earlier episodes for the current storylines, and makes the later episodes go together so well with the earlier ones even though they didn't even know they were gonna make it a series like this for most of season one i just cant its so cool

(I have thought this through so hear me out!)

      1. Roman       2. Janus       3. Virgil       4. Patton       5. Logan       6. Remus

To Elaborate:

      1. Roman’s room’s cleanliness occasionally dips below Janus’ when he’s immersed in a project, but then he gets a burst of energy and makes sure it’s spotless. Or he just uses his imagination magic to make everything neat and presentable. He did say he wants Thomas to keep his clothes clean and folded in the right drawers. He cares a lot about appearances, and is very idealistic. Vaulted ceilings, art in golden frames, velvet curtains, an ornate canopy bed... Only the absolute best for a Prince!

      2. Janus is all about seeing things for exactly what they are. He wants clarity. Everything has a place. But his judgment can be clouded or his intentions murky. Not to mention that he's so precise in his edginess I expect he'd hold his room to the same standard as his outfits and cool demeanor. Even if he's a mess, deceit can keep things looking perfect on the surface. Unfortunately, every time Remus visits he tracks in mud, even though there shouldn’t be any mud. They’re inside, where did--?

      3. If we hadn’t already seen Virgil and Patton’s rooms, I may have considered switching them here, but I think I’d have stuck with this order. Virgil’s spiderwebs are an aesthetic choice and as such do not count as mess. It's not the most put-together of rooms, but it's lived-in and has breathing room. It's designed to make him feel cozy, so it's not overwhelmingly crowded with things. And Janus did catch Virgil doing some housekeeping and dusting.

      4. Patton’s room, on the other hand, is cluttered to all heck, but his things themselves are at least clean. His room is messy, but not dirty. However, he has no idea where anything is. When something's added to one of the piles, it's lost immediately, so Patton randomly finds things he'd forgotten about all the time. He wants to keep the memories in good condition, though, plus he doesn’t like icky stuff. Though I suppose it's possible both Pat and Virgil's rooms collect some dust after a while. Patton just doesn't actually dust often. (Twist: the floaty specks in the air in Patton's room was actually just a LOT of dust fdjhsgjk)

      5. This is why Logan doesn’t want anyone in his room (well, one reason). There are too many books to fit on the bookshelves, open jars of Crofter’s, papers strewn about covered in coffee stains and scrawled-on useful facts, calendars too ambitious to read, hyperbolically millions of tabs open with podcasts and research, journals documenting Thomas’ life, post-it notes everywhere losing their stickiness and falling to the floor, chemistry experiments, glow-in-the-dark star stickers, unsolved puzzles, binders of organizational tips to try and help manage Thomas’ schedule (none of which have worked yet), etc. The only thing that’s neat is his closet: ironed shirts, pants, and ties, and a garment bag containing the unicorn onesie. He keeps everything sanitized, doesn't let anyone in, and knows exactly where everything is. Therefore, this system doesn't significantly inhibit productivity, so cleaning isn't first priority. He doesn’t WANT his room to be in such disarray, but he’s Character!Thomas’ logic and structure, and we all know that’s a mess, so.. it stands to reason that Logan isn't exactly thriving. He’s too busy trying to establish order and efficiency in Thomas’ life to keep up with his own problems (not realizing that since he’s a part of Thomas... his problems ARE ALSO Thomas’ problems).

      6. As for Remus... you’ll never step into the same room twice. One day it’s flooded with some mystery substance and Remus is in a canoe trying to paddle with a slotted spoon, the next day it’s filled with radioactive bees, and the next it just looks like a junkyard where sex toys go to die. The walls are covered with burns and holes from blowing things up. Not even Remus can find what he's looking for in his own room, but he doesn't mind. Messy, dirty, moldy. Unoraganized chaos. The natural habitat of our local rat man. Filthy filthy.
