Yes! Ive Been Thinking This Too! What Does He Do? - Tumblr Posts

What is Remus' contribution?

Let's discuss

So as we know all of the sides' sole purpose in life is to help make sure c!Thomas is safe, successful and happy in life:

Logan is responsible for his learning, vocabulary, reasoning, logic and curiosity;

Virgil is responsible for his safety, vigilance, attention to his relationships, caution and basic life preservation instincts;

Roman is responsible for creativity, ego, self esteem, adventurousness and romantic pursuits;

Patton is responsible for his morality, sense of wonder, joy, memories and nostalgia

Janus is his self preservation instinct and represents his more selfish impulses and adds some nuance to the group's discussions.

Remus...?

As we know, there are no "bad" or "evil" sides, and that presumably includes Remus and the orange side soon to be revealed.

However, as hard as I may try I can't seem to come up with what might be Remus' role. All of the sides take on multiple crucial roles in c!Thomas' life and sure, it could be argued that Remus' disturbing suggestions and mental images he conjures serve as moral tests in which by consistently picking the safe, healthy option over the dangerous or unethical option c!T can be sure of where he stands morally. But how many times can a man's morals be tested before it just becomes exhausting? What else does Remus do? Surely he doesn't only represent intrusive thoughts, when the other sides represent so much beyond what they're best known for?

I would like to hear your thoughts, headcanons and theories about Remus, cause I'm afraid I really don't get his character. At least not so far. I would like to get to know him better as a character in the next episodes.
