Theories {Sander Sides}

Logan Arc

More about this will be coming soon~

I was scrolling through Tumblr when I came across a theory of a future Logan story arc. This was first created by randomslasher and more was added by thuriweaver. They both addressed a future Logan storyboard arc.

I will be going over key parts of the new video, Fitting In. If you have not watched it, please do for there are spoilers ahead.

We first started with Logan explicitly saying he did not like the hair. He was very straightforward and rash. Thomas reaction consisted of telling Logan that he liked it so he would have to deal with it. Thomas focused more on Patton and Virgil. Virgil, of course, has gone through that endeavor last season. The focus will be on him for most videos.

Patton also points out the fact that the new hair makes Thomas happy, which is what matters. Logan agrees, but not in a happy manner. He seems more annoyed. Logan is being brutally honest during this video, not taking into consideration that Thomas feelings could be hurt in the process.

I dare say that he is acting like the old Anxiety we use to know.

Logan: "Stealing my thing, no big deal"

That is a clear sign that someone isn't exactly happy with the new changes. Patton and Roman seem to be more analytical and thinking through several situations. Usually, Logan has logic and common sense at hand. But the others are doing the same.

Prince also made some comments at Logan, not many, but he still made some. If anything it reminds me of the actions shared between Virgil and him in the last season. 

Logan: "I'm just doing my best over here you guys"

Only Roman reacted, then straight to Virgil. The comment was just passed by. Not even Patton said anything.

Okay! I noticed that at 1:18 Thomas is more interested in what Virgil has to say instead of Logan. Who you can see is struggling to keep to himself. He wants to say something, but he doesn't.

At 7:09 Virgil glances at Logan then Roman. At first, it seems like a small detail, but it's like he's connecting something. Like the sudden tension between the two. And the fact that Roman just seems so done with Logan. There is something happening between them. Roman and Logan are in fact opposites.

At 11:09 Thomas doesn't exactly blow up at Logan. He just counters him like he use to with Virgil.

At 12:09, a feeling tells me that Logan wants to say something. But he doesn't.

Logan: "Stealing my logo, no big deal"

I find that hard to believe. I don't think that's all Logan is worked up about.

I don't know if it was just me, but Logan didn't seem himself during this video. He felt off to me.

Here is the origin:

I am going to be putting in personal experience to support this theory as well.

Throughout elementary, I was considered the smartest kid in school. That was my place. A place to fit in with the rest. So, of course, the mentality was burned into my mind. Whenever I was wrong people would gasp and stare at me as if I had killed someone. Each time I answered something wrong, my self-esteem and confidence would drop lower and lower. Every time. 7 years of that thought process really messed me up.

Grades became a scale. Numbers represented my worth. numbers changed the view on myself leading me to become stressed and lose sleep. Especially near the last year of school. I had to be the best, no matter what.

When middle school started, I realized that I wasn't the smartest one, I wasn't the best one. It felt like I was knocked off my pedestal and crashed. I felt broken, I didn't know who I was anymore. No one came to me for help. No one looked up to me. I was just another student with a decent grade scale. People were better than me and were smarter. It felt like someone slowly took my territory over time. Until I had none.

If Logan is going through this, he could be on the verge of a mental breakdown. During this time, my temper was bad and I was harsh to many people. I would get annoyed faster and yell at others when things didn't go right. It was really bad and really affected my mental state. That hasn't changed, I have s short temper and need things to go well. For the sake of my self-esteem, everything needs to go well. I'm not as rash as before but it stuck and it may forever.

Logan is showing signs of this. His emotions want to come out, but he's not letting them. To back up the mental breakdown. Logan has been bottling up emotions for such a long time. They are going to come out one day. Maybe sooner than later. He was being very rude to Thomas during this episode. but Thomas wasn't in right either. He shrugged Logan off as if he was dirt. That what he said didn't matter to the case at hand.

Virgil's arc was leaving the group altogether. I feel as if Logans may be him not showing up, only to be found overworking and stressed about work. Emotions aren't his forte, he doesn't know how to deal and handle them. This could end badly. 

Virgil needed support and Logan offered. Now Logan needs some more than ever.

I will be collecting more evidence from the old videos and putting them in the next chapter. For now, I leave you with this. I hope you all can add more and see where I am coming from. And hopefully agree.
