I Love The Idea That The Orange Side Was All Docile And Content To Be Hidden Away By Janus, Up Until

Dry your tears and Get Angry

This is just a small theory, but I always thought that if the orange side ends up being wrath/anger, I like to imagine that their first physical appearance involves them kicking down a door.

Hey fanders come get this

OOF I was rewarching some sander sides videos and just realized how suspicious Patton looked when Thomas mentioned making a decision with a blind fold on, and it's just failing my theory about the orange side being wrath/impulsivity

Some other metaphors/symbols I have found after watching it a dozen times.

1. The knife metaphor

Remember that moment where Logan gave c!Thomas a coloring book so he could take a break for a little bit?

Well you certainly heard Logan say something about how Thomas should 'do something less stressful like coloring so that he can let the unwanted thoughts pass him by'.

After Logan made that statement, the knife flew across the kitchen and into the living room (Or is it the living room idk-), and before c!Thomas gets obliterated, he moves his head forward to focus more on the coloring book.

This moment makes me think that the knife represents c!Thomas' unwanted thoughts, and when he moves his head forward, he basically shifted his focus to the coloring book. Thus he was able to let the thought 'pass him by'.

Literally and figuratively.

2. Orange room pog

After the whole awesome dancing, Logan decides to talk to Remus. Which totally went well. Anyway, my main focus here is the room Logan and Remus are in.

Interestingly enough, the room already has a tint of orange in it before Logan decided to talk to Remus.

Which possibly indicates that man's already frustrated because Nico still hasn't responded to him yet. The orangeness just became more obvious when Logan tried to talk to Remus.

Another one is that the orange tint became more saturated? (I couldn't find any better words) when Thomas picked up the phone.

This could just be my eyes deceiving me but my point still stands.

This reminds me of someone else's theory about how Logan and Thomas are connected in a way where Logan is more influenced by Thomas' anger because of his religious upbringing and his frustration of being ignored. Also the orange room further proves the existence of the orange side and how he can affect the others using the others anger and frustration about something.

Now that I think about it, it's pretty cool how when a side or Thomas is extremely angry at something, a tint of orange can be seen.

In Putting others first:

And in Learning New Things About Ourselves:

Im surprised I havent seen anyone talk about the orange light coming from upstairs- (Unless someone already did. But s t i l l). There could be more sights of orangeness but that's all I could find.

And that's all of em. If you have more suggestions and theories, do tell me. Im craving for m o r e .

This is all I got from watching Working Through Intrus*ve Thoughts

Sanders Sides fans:

well shit

the minecraft movie couldnt possibly recreate even a shred of the humor found in these screenshots

Orange Side Theory: Malus

So y'all know how everyone is like “Hey, the new side is going to be Rage/Anger” and other types of shit like that. Well I was reading a fanfic were there was a new side and his name was Malice or Mal and Malice means like “Intent to do evil” and I was like “Hey, Malice could be spelled like Malus cause they kinda sound the same, what if that was the name of the new side haha” and then everything just stopped. And then I was like “Hey, I wonder if the name Malus has any sort of Greek or Roman meaning and I looked it up and…

WHAT

MALUS DOMESTICA: SCIENTIFIC NAME FOR APPLE TREE?

WHAT? Also, while looking up the word Malus it usually means something like “evil” and “apple” (Forbidden fruit?)

Also…

Anyway, it would pretty much fit with the thing that’s going on with c!Thomas right now. Him not wanting to be evil and shit. 

ALSO?? USED BY VIRGIL? POET VIRGIL? ROMAN POET VIRGIL?

Listen, I might be off my rockers and I don’t really know if anyone has like, already connected these dots as well. But I feel like I might be onto something at least. Let me know what you think and what your theories are as well! Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

P.S I might put more shit into this theory the more I come up with it but idk. I just really like this idea.

Edit 1: OOP, TIME FOR ANOTHER ADD ON, the name would fit with all the Dark Sides names ending in us.

Edit 2: So, while looking at the theory again and looking at sites and shit my thought process was “What if the animal trait that the orange side gets is a crab because of crab apples?” (Crabs are kinda orange I guess idfk this is fucking hilarious, Also, Malus also means “Mast of a ship” Pirate crab side?)

Edit 3: Apples, they got a sweet exterior but if you get to the middle of them they got poisonous seeds. On the surface, c!Thomas is a good person, but when you get down to it, everyone has some type of darkness in them whether they like it or not. 

Edit 4: I’m back on my shit and still looking so fucking deep into this I am so sorry but it’s just so much fun to theorize, so what do crabs represent? Well, apparently according to this site https://symbolismandmetaphor.com/crab-symbolism-spirit-animal/ they represent:

Change and growth, adaptability, defensiveness, resilience, self-reliance and a journey. And is that not what c!Thomas is going through? A whole journey about change and growth.
