Tss Janus - Blog Posts

god. janus sanders really is a character of all time, just in terms of concept. when you were a little kid, you did something wrong, and you got so scared of getting in trouble that another little guy was born inside you. and he loves you. and he wants you to stay safe. so he tells you to lie now, take care of yourself now, keep yourself safe. but all the other little guys inside you hate him. he's too mean, too selfish. the little guy that was born from your desire to do good and be good hates him the most, because you're a little catholic boy, and lying is bad. and you're a good boy. so everything inside you that isn't good has to be shut away.

he knows he's not wanted. he creates his own place to stay, a hidden corner where he can't hurt you. because all the others say that he'll end up hurting you, and he can see how scared you are of being a liar, so he lets himself be forgotten. hidden away. this is how he shows his love: by hiding himself, and every subsequent unwanted part that grows inside you, from you. if knowing about their existence is too difficult for you, then he'll hide them all. he loves you. you don't even know his name.

he watches you grow, still unaware of his existence. the others make their presence known, felt. you let them take the reigns, most of the time. he sneaks in his own little influence here and there; small, harmless lies, only when necessary, so you won't even notice. and in the meantime, he acts as a herder of sorts for all the other parts of yourself that you've subconsciously cast away. he keeps them in line. he sympathizes with them, yes, he knows what it's like to be unwanted. but letting you see them would hurt you, and he loves you. so he keeps them there, in the shadow, unknown and unseen, just like him.

one of them, one of his little dark, unwanted things, doesn't want to be hated anymore. he wants to make himself known. he wants a seat at the table. and, in an ultimate slap to the face for janus, he gets it. virgil gets everything that janus was denied from the start. acceptance. power. control. his effort is acknowledged, his necessity is embraced. he gets a seat at the table. he doesn't have to hide anymore. and janus can't help but resent him for that. maybe it's a good thing, then, that the hatred is mutual. not even his own cattle, the ones he kept safe, the ones he kept out of thomas' way, can stand his presence. fine. none of it matters. as long as you're safe, it was all worth it. he loves you. you still don't even know his name.

janus was always thomas' protector. even when none of it was ever seen or acknowledged.

i find his mixed motif really interesting too, because before we knew his name, we only knew him as deceit. the snake. the ancient serpent deceiver, the biblical snake of eden. but then we hear his name. janus. ianus bifrons, two-faced janus, god of beginnings, passage, transitions. i think that his name being revealed was very much the start of thomas beginning to see janus for who he actually is, instead of the heavily modified version of him that he's been seeing, courtesy of his catholic upbringing.

The Imminent Destruction of Janus Sanders

Literally just Dukeciet (and Roman being a Dramatic Bitch™️)

Under the cut:

- Janus and Remus, separate

- Different versions of Remus’ outfit

- A photo and description of this great fanfic (tumblr isn’t letting me link links >:( )

Also warning for the fanfic: it’s Remus. There’s Remus. It gets a lil nsfw lmao, so proceed with caution (but the fic itself is really really great :])

“The Imminent Destruction of Janus Sanders”

by beau_and_aro, januses_season_two_sarcasm (beau_and_aro)

10,031 words, 3 chapters, literally just Dukeciet and Roman failing to make Prinxiety sail lmao

So basically…

I feel like deceit will just drink a “cup” of coffee every day but it’s a huge cup of coffee like a comedicaly large cup and drinks like a gallon of coffee latter and he just goes ballistic for a couple of hours ((strangehead cannon I know but I thought it was funny))

deceit: yea I only drink one cup of coffee a day

deceit:

I got snek boy!!

Not surprising. ;)

i made a sanders sides uquiz :3

The fact that Janus Sanders being a snarky lil shit helped me in a history quiz today

Thank you snek boy🙏

Decided I wanted to make some sanders sides Kandi bracelets :)

These are the ones I got so far, I'm pretty happy with them. I wanted to try and use all sorts of different beads that I have for once, and I think it turned out pretty cute!! :3

Here's some close ups +an unfinished Patton one

Janus gives glittery gold vibes, and Virgil gives me star and moon vibes. And I gave Remus seashells, and a silly little seahorse cause of his sea creature associations (tentacles) and he'd absolutely love to bring up the fact it's the male seahorse that gets pregnant.

Btw if you have any good nicknames the sides would have for eachother (especially for Virgil or Janus) thats not too long for bracelets I'd appreciate it cause I need it for a cosplay idea I have

Virgil who tends to get really worked up in his head convincing himself no one actually wants him around, so he sneaks away and leaves without saying anything X Janus with really bad abandonment issues, and he'll do anything to make sure he doesn't let him leave him this time

toxic yuri anxceit sketches

They're not done, but you get the idea

I've had them on my mind for so long I need it out there before I go feral. Enjoy

Behold, women (fem designs for Virgil and Janus)

They're lesbians your honour

And they're oh so dysfunctional

Y'all ever look at a messy dysfunctional mlm ship and go "if they were lesbians they'd either be actually functional, or just so so much worse"

Like they'd either be so much better, or the epitomy of toxic Yuri.

That's anxceit to me <3

I was thinking about the weight of names in the world of my witch story(and sanders sides au), considering there's magic, and fey, and demons.

And when I was thinking about janus, I thought about how he's had a lot of fan given names throughout the years. Wouldn't it be so funny if he had all those names, and he got them with the classic "may I have your name" fey tactics.

Idk I just think that's something he should be allowed to do

(Btw if you have some commonly used names for Janus from back in the days, please share them :))

Remus drops by Janus after bothering the others

They're talking about Virgil

Idk I just thought Janus acting like he hates Virgil, but being extremely concerned if he's actually seriously hurt, storming out to see him even if he's in the middle of his skincare routine.

Au time again, Janus edition

It’s the same au I mentioned earlier

Still don't feel like explaining everything yet, but he's the child of a witch and magical creature/spirit

He may not have a lot of explicit magic, but he has a whole lot of other stuff going on
