What just happened??

DECIET HAS A NAME, HE HAS A FUCKING NAME. HE’S CALLED JANICE, OH MY- 

Ok, so, I think the next "antagonist" we'll see is Roman. As in, he'll appear in the next or in a future episode acting like a villain.

I usually never post any theories I have, but for once I think it makes sense and why not? It's fun to theorize XD

First thing we should establish is that Roman sees everything in black and white, and he obviously thinks of himself, and wants to be, a hero. Already in the beggining of the episode in the review song, he mentions that "If our goals aligned with his [Janus], what would that say?"

Agreeing with someone he sees as a villain would be wrong. And him being afraid of being percived as a villain is why, even though he much rather Thomas went to the call back, he sentenced Thomas to go to the wedding.

And something to note about Roman's arguments is that, while he tries to not be harsh and says he "isn't trying to dissagree with him", he dissagrees/questions most things Patton is stating. Like in the part where Patton says Thomas "has to" give the money in the frogger scenario

Or in the trolley where he keeps questioning Pattons points, as well as right before the lilypad ton sequence, where Roman says "he would like to know" what Thomas should do in the situation between sacrificing Thomas own life for others.

By the lilypad ton sequence however, he is 100% on Pattons side, or simply trying to be against everything Deceit says, seeing as he is opposed to all his arguments and keeps backing Patton up. It's pretty clear that that's his goal when he says right after that he and Patton can "still beat Janus like before".

When Janus compares Roman to Remus and says he wouldn't know who the evil twin was if it wasn't for Remus mustache, Roman realises that no one is on his side. He realises that Thomas chose a villain like Deceit over a hero like him, and as he said in the beggining "If our goals aligned with his, what would that say?" Or it could be interpreted as, if Thomas agrees with Deceit, he is just as much as a villain as him. Which is why he says next that he's not supposed to be evil, he's supposed to be good.

Maybe that will lead him to the conclusion that to be listened to he should be/act like a villain or that since Thomas "prefers" villains, he'll play the part. And maybe that's how we'll get the orange side without making it have more dark then light sides, having Roman as a villain for a while with orange as his main color. And orange is right next to red. Idk if this adds anything but it's nice to note I guess XD

And like.. the thumbnail has a silhouette of Roman in the darkside row so that's either metaphorical or just more reasons for me to believe in this theory, and I'd like to think it's the latter :3

But it's just a theory a game theory XD

Also, forgive me for the bad gif, it's 5 am and I did it on the phone for the first time XP

Edit: Also, Isn't it neat how all of the dark sides seem to have Roman names and the light have Greek ones, exept for Roman?

It been over a year since the Sanders Sides video Putting Others First was released, and it still doesn’t have a proper warning. Admittedly a warning was added to the description but considering Thomas’s warnings usually take up the entire screen nobody who isn’t already aware that this video in particular could have some sort of issues is going to even think to check the description. I have no idea how to even go about making an “official” petition for this so I’m going to make an informal one in the form of this post. Consider every note on this post a signature:

Petition for the Sanders Sides video Putting Others First to be taken down and reuploaded immediately with a proper warning screen for the flashing lights and other sensory issues in the video.

At the very least he needs to change the title of the video to reflect that the warnings are in the description, but this petition is for the PREFFERED method of fixing this problem, as even changing the title is a pretty flawed and inadequate solution, especially when people have been talking about the lack of a proper warning for so long
