⚠️🤯 Many words in English have contradictory meanings.

For example,

CLIP = fasten together 🖇️; cut apart ✂️

Here’s a list of other autoantonyms (aka contronyms, Janus words).

Janus words

Frequently described as "words that are their own opposites," contronyms (contranym is a variant spelling) are also known as Janus words, antagonyms, and autoantonyms. These are words that have developed contradictory meanings. Cleave is often cited as the go-to contronym: it can refer to splitting something apart and to uniting two things.

The subtle confirmation that Remus and Janus have just NOT been included in anything for YEARS?? Can you imagine living in a world with exactly seven people and you don't get invited to Christmas?? I'm sorry, I'll never shut up about this.

As much as I love loceit pinning and having sweet genuine confessions and tender moments, let's be honest they would treat their confession like a business transaction.

Logan: Janus, I like you.

Janus: Logan, I like you too.

Logan: Good so we both have a comman ground, how will this work?

Janus: I provide you with my unique form of love and affection which includes me disturbing you while you work, flirting with you nitrously and stealing of 75% of your wardrobe.

Logan: Hm, sounds promising but making 50% of my wardrobe and disturbance that does not involve complete distraction from my tasks and it will be smooth sailings from here.

Janus: 65% of your wardrobe and I will sit on your lap as you work on your laptop, with the occasional distracting kisses but nothing more.

Logan: Deal. A kiss to seal the deal?

Janus: Of course.

Sanders Sides community, I'm about to give you the chance of a lifetime to spill your soul out about your blorbos:

What are your favourite ships and why?

I'm new here and I won't judge, it's a safe place.

Let me know why you think Virgil and Roman belong together or why you think Janus and Logan should kiss or whatever. And do let me know if you're entirely against shipping in this fandom too, I'm just curious about the vibes!

(However, if I see any of you shipping the twins... The block button will be rightfully used.)

Roman: I don’t WANNA do the thing!

Logan: I heard Janus say it’s because you CAN’T do the thing.

Roman: THEN I’M GONNA TRIPLE DO IT! HE’LL REGRET DOUBTING ME!

Logan: Your spite-driven ambition scares me—

TS insta-story april 26, 2023 :

Did some Virgil scenes today. Trying to follow up character makeup days with face masks lol

#i wonder if this and the janus pics from yesterday are about the incorrect quotes video #or something else #because the word ‘scenes’ doesn’t sound like incorrect quotes #anyway tell me if i should trigger tag this as something bc that mask makes his face look weird #thomas sanders #tstwitter #sanders sides #virgil sanders #video update #april 2023 #thomas’s selfies

HELLO EVERYONE!

As of yesterday Dukeceit week 2024 has finished off! I never in a million years would have thought that as many people would have gotten excited about this and participated as they did! I feel so incredibly lucky to have hosted something that has produced so much amazing fic and art! It's been a joy to see new stuff in the tags of a pairing I love so much and all that was because of y'all! <3 <3 Late stuff is allowed! I don't mind anyone coming in and filling in days they missed or anything like that! I may not reblog it, but I will try! Thank y'all for everything! -Grim.

i was thinking about the sides outfits today, and i'm totally over thinking this but hear me out,

remus and roman have the sashes obviously, but patton and janus both have something wrapped around their shoulders. patton's being his cat hoodie, and janus's being his cape thingy

this makes me think the orange side might have something similar to a neck tie. if he ends up being the dark side equivalent to logan that is

#i don't know if this makes sense #but i just noticed that janus's cape parallels patton's hoodie #sanders sides #orange side #logan sanders #this will prolly end up being nonsense #but that's ok #i could have worded this better

[veecosplayer]

Logan: Virgil, I hope you kys.

Roman: wow, that was mean.

Virgil: geez did I piss you off or something??

Logan: Huh? It means keep yourself safe. Janus said so.

Janus, giggling in the corner

⚠️ Many words in English have contradictory meanings, e.g., “sanction” = ‘to allow’ or ‘to prohibit.’  

Others include “clip” (to cut 💇🏻; to attach 📎) and “bolt” (to fasten in place 🔩; to run away 🏃🏻‍♀️💨).  

Such contradictory words are called by many names: Janus words, autoantonyms, and contronyms.  

💁🏻‍♂️ When you write or speak, give your audience the necessary context to distinguish which meaning you are using.

Janus Estuaries Vol. 3, 1.24.24 “Morning Glories"

Change of schedules; habits Rituals – within rituals I look to the bed like a distant forlorn lover The wick burnt low of love Why am I not in that embrace What keeps me but myself From that doorway to tomorrow Am I afraid of the days to come? That I will prolong, even the moon Stop the inconstant moon in the sky Break a habit of waiting For a reason to rest

Loceit does things to my mind the way worms do things to soil.

Anyways I think Logan wants to understand Janus the way Janus wants to understand him. I think they look at each other with so much wonder and curiosity in their eyes. They want to know what makes the other so... them.

[loganslowdown4]

Roman: *reading a book* Hey nerds, came across this word ‘jouissance’, what’s it mean? Figure I’d ask the brains before I start googling heh

Janus: I’m not actually sure.

Logan: No, it’s not a common term, I’m not aware of the meaning either.

Patton: Ooh! I know this! It’s a synonym of happiness, specifically pleasure or delight.

Virgil: Well, we have a winner.

Roman: And more importantly, two losers.
