I love how Anxiety went from a huge jerk who needed to be defeated,to an accepted character who simply thinks they're doing the right thing by causing Anxiety
honestly befriend it is a pretty good strategy, ignoring is a temporary solution if you need a quick fix and accepting/"befriending" it is a good long term goal
At this time, could he be apart of the dark sides? Like all the other characters they change. Logan in the beginning was all smiley, laughing at basically everything, and saying things that aren't literal. Patton protrayed himself as smart and more dad-like than he is now. Roman was..... Okay, maybe not all the characters have gone through character development.
Let's Chat what if deceit sent him away from the dark sides but virgil still acted like a dark side to prove to deceit that he is still can be a dark side but as time went on he began to like the others and begun to hate deceit and remus and his old self. But that just a theory. A GAME THEORY
Jade Walker I totally get what you mean. I have a feeling it’s because he was playing the aloof villain role, but now that he’s with the GangTM he’s free to act more like himself.
I don’t think Virgil is just anxiety, I think he’s also honesty. He’s always telling Thomas the truth without softening it in the slightest. He also can’t stand Deceit, and Honesty wouldn’t.
*around 3-4 years later* Lilly: How are you doing with getting rid of your anxiety? Thomas: his name is Virgil, he wears purple, it took two episodes and him trying to leave to accept him and the fandom and Patton have adopted him as their dark strange son. also there’s more like him now called Janus and Remus. Lilly: wow.
I like how the Sanders Sides are the only place where people say "I love Anxiety!!" and stuff like that lol, and yes, I do feel bad for my poor sweet and sour misunderstood shadow-ling
2016 Thomas: "everyone please welcome my *anxiety* " (taking on anxiety) 2019 Thomas: Virgil! I know youre not giving other people anxiety. You are *my* anxiety" (selfishness vs. selflessness)
I hold true to the theory Anxiety and Virgil are two different sides, just like how Pride!Roman is still Roman but he doesn’t act like Roman so he’s called Pride instead. Virgil is Vigilance and Protection and Anxiety is Anxiety and Fear.
Why does Virgil have an iPhone and who is he texting when he doesn't even exist? Who's even texting him? Then again _Logan_ apparently has an iPhone and gets calls even though he isn't actually real. Things I'll _never_ understand.😺👻
actually Roman and Logan both have phones in the Q&A video! apparently they can get texts from someone, idk ... unless they're just texting each other 👀
It’s really out of character to me, but I get that Thomas was still figuring out how he wanted the series to go, and it’s still fun to rewatch the old episodes. This is the 6th time I’ve watched the entire series Help Please Someone Help I can’t stop
Back then: Lily talking to Virgil as if it was her anxiety Now: “VIRGIL! UH-UH I KNOW YOU ARE NOT GIVING OTHER PEOPLE ANXIETY. YOU ARE MY ANXIETY. NO ONE ELSE’S.”
Yeah! Then again, the very first sanders sides episode was suppose to be an one off video, but Thomas realize how much he liked the concept and decide to expand on that. That of course led to Virgil's creation who appenrently was suppose to be an one off character, but his raising popularity allowed him to be a part of the group. So basecly, maybe at first, Virgil was suppose to represent anxiety in general, but that change with time 🤷♀️
@@bethany.k.1111 Yeah, you're not the first person to tell me they wanted to make Virgil an antagonist. 🤔 Do you have the source where Thomas said this thought? Because, in one of his Q a A, Thomas simply said that Virgil was only suppose go be an one off character.
Not many people realize that we literally saved Virgil in some way. You can see on this video that Anxiety was immediately implied as a villain, an antagonist that was "defeated" at the end. Thomas confirmed that Anxiety was planned to be just a one video character but we wanted to see him more, and that allowed him to develop Anxiety as a character until we had the Virgil that we know now, and not only that but it also gave way to so many plot ideas. I think is amazing how a character that was "just a one-video thing" became so important to the whole Sanders Sides series
My idea of lighthearted is stuff like Happy Tree Friends and Deadpool or a Supernatural marathon. Focus on what exactly? I have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, asperger syndrome and autism. There's nothing to be positive about because everything is horrible and video games are my escape from reality. I think my grandma is secretly plotting to kill me. I hear voices telling me to burn things. Virgil hangs around me.😺👻
@@silentshadow3894 I have a lot of problems. I know I'm weird. Ever think you might accidentally get flushed down the toilet? Mutant rats live in the sewers. If the sun burns out, we all die. There's a coronavirus outbreak. What if there's a zombie apocalypse? I saw movies like Resident Evil, 28 Days Later, Zombieland. Virus outbreaks turn people into zombies. I'm a paranoid mess.😺👻
I think I had a dream once where my sister got flushed down the toilet. When it comes to a zombie apocalypse honestly that would be a lot simpler of a life. It my be terrifying but then I wouldn’t have to deal with worrying about getting a job or getting good grades or anything like that. I would call that a win. Though I guess it also depends on what brand of zombies. If it was like world war z were they are really fast and the group looks more like a flood than anything that would be scary. The slow ones would probably be fine as long as I was smart about where I stayed.
@@silentshadow3894 Someone I don't know might seem nice, but then they're actually a serial killer, drug dealer or pervert. Maybe a perverted serial killer who sells drugs. What if you're more likely to be killed by a family member than a random person? What if there's an alien invasion? What if the COVID-19 mutates into something like t-virus, Mad Zombie Disease, Green Flu or even the dreaded Croatoan virus? What if there's an infestation of mutant rats? What if there's mutant demon bugs? What if your best friend is really a shapeshifting demon? What if we're under siege by space ghouls? How prepared are we for a zombie apocalypse? What if there's a food shortage? I'm a paranoid mess.😺👻
Man this was when Virgil first entered the picture.... Let me just say that I love how Thomas developed Virgils character throughout the sanders sides. And man I did not like how Roman and Thomas referred to Virgil as that and it....it made me sad Bbbbuuut I love how much he changed! Like- *Pre Accepting Anxiety* Virgil: sup Thomas: AHHH *Post Accepting Anxiety* Virgil: hey Thomas Thomas: ayyyy it's Virgil!!! Man I love him so much
I. I have this therory by mixing with other theories that virgil was paranoia and when he was paranoia, he was logans dark side, because when you are paranoid you doesnt think logical.
yup, ever since he clocked out for a two-part video he's been so sensitive because he is still afraid of them no longer accepting him or liking him... WHY DO ALL OF YOU (except Patton) MAKE HIM FEEL SO UNWANTED??!!
Well the first two times, he was trying to put up a hard persona to make sure Thomas listened to him, or at least hear him. At those two times, nobody really liked Virgil (Anxiety). But as they all slowly accepted him and took time to understand him, he showed them the 'real' him, per say. The more fragile/sensitive (and adorable) side he really is.
I don't agree with the 'fragile' part because of the amount he has gone through; moving on video - demonic voice and recent....Well...Problems - D evious E dgy C ruel E vil I mposter T hreatening And that makes me think otherwise, if Virgil were fragile then he wouldn't have made it through these.. Incidents as well as he did. But yes he is much more adorable now and less annoying and cocky.
Virgil: Oh Im sorry was I not wanted at this exact second Remus: OH I JUST LOVE SHOWING UP WHERE IM NOT INVITED Deceit: Who’s she? Never heard of her. (I love the dark sides)💜💛💚
Thomas: I'm going to make a character who represents my anxiety and fear and show people how to defeat it! So here's a villain-presenting character with an emo aesthetic and a love of making Thomas the character anxious for no reason! He represents something a lot of us hate but it's okay, we'll beat h- Fanders: we love him Thomas: ...wait... wh Fanders: *bring him back*
no but that's litterally what happened, virgil was meant to be a one time characters only for this vid but everyone demanded to see him again. I wasn't in the famdom at the time but thats what i heard
Thomas: Alright fine. I'll include him in a couple of future episodes. *Sees his popularity and his ships* Thomas: Okie then, let's give him a fantastic character arc. Let's hope that helps with our future topics.
Thomas: **presents Virgil as a villain with no chance of redemption** Everyone else: **starts theorizing on his name, obsesses over him, gives him fanart, ships him with the others** Thomas: You do realize he’s a villain right...? You do understand he’s only gonna be in a few videos... right? Everyone else: Nope we already adopted him and given him a protection army. He’s our child and we love him and you are going to keep putting him in all the Sanders Sides videos ever created. Thomas: Ok then. And while we’re at it, how about we give him a rival for you guys to obsess over, too? Everyone else: YESYESYESYESYESYES AND LETS ALSO GIVE HIM A HARD BACKSTORY AND REDEMPTION ARC AND- Thomas: Lemme guess, you are gonna write him into fanfiction where he has magic and wings and a forbidden love with a Disney prince. Everyone else: you know is so well.
Things I noticed (Future SS spoilers) -Virgil sits on his staircase in this video and ends up slowly getting closer as we welcome him and establish him as a character. (except for when he got very cocky and tried to make Thomas feel like he couldn't stop him) -Virgil is very intense in this video and slowly cools off throughout the series, even going as far as to try not to be harsh as to not hurt Thomas. (If someone else noticed it and put it down in the comments, I might've not seen before I posted. I probably wasn't the first)
Virgil: This is what I do *Leans back, smooth as frick, sassy and cute too.* Virgil: Yo. *Texting someone, maybe posting on Tumblr.* Virgil: I would like to see you try. *Widest Virgil smile ever.* Virgil: Hey there Princey! *Sorry. I lied. Widest Virgil smile ever is right here now. I'll leave now. Thank you very much.* Me while Thomas and Lily brings up things Virgil has done. *DON'T HURT THE BABYYYYYY* Lily: Ya nasty. *I WILL PSYCHICALLY FIGHT YOU!!!*
Caitlin The Pentaholic yes but someone might just be starting to watch it. You wouldn’t spoil the ending to a movie or book even if it’s been out for years would you?
2016 Thomas: I wanna get rid of my anxiety. I hate him. He sucks. 2019/2020 Thomas: Heeeyyy Virgil! You know we all love you! You’re a light side now! Yay!
Prince: "I don't like you." Anxiety: "You're just mad because I just came from a My Chemical Romance concert." Me: *dies from mention of MCR and Prinxety*
My anxiety: "what if they hate you" "their talking about you" "your annoying stop talking to him/her so much" "your familt thinks your anooying, cant you see it?" "no one likes you" ect
How my anxiety is- Unfamiliar person. They seem nice, but what if they're a weirdo who saves their nail clippings in a jar of Vaseline mixed with water? What if they invite you over to their house and you need to use the bathroom and you sit down to use the toilet then feel something crawl up your butt. So you tell them what happened, but they tell you it was nothing even though you felt something go in there. You tell your parents, police and state authorities, but nobody believes you. So you think it was all a dream, but it turns out it's real.😨👻
@@haha_confusionLoud noises, unfamiliar people, flashing lights, jump scares, if people like me, tangled necklaces. I'm torn between my desire to make new friends outside of Facebook and severe anxiety around people I don't know. What if they seem nice, but are actually a pervert, serial killer, drug dealer or a perverted serial killer who sells drugs? I want a boyfriend, but I'm not good at talking to people that I don't know. Not to mention, I'm autistic and everything makes me anxious and uncomfortable.😨👻
Virgil then: I am your very fear and self doubt personified. I will never leave you alone and will never stop terrorizing you. Virgil now: I may seem bad at first, but I genuinely care about helping you and am also beloved by the fandom as a whole.
Looking back on this, Anxiety tried so hard to make everyone hate him. He knew that he was intended to be the villain, so he played his role. He taunted the others, he would make Thomas anxious, but he was trying his best to do his job. He pushed himself so far into his role that he thought it was best for him to leave, simply due to the fact that he cared too much about Thomas to keep ‘hurting’ him. I see now how much he wanted to help and overplayed his role so he could do his job to the best of his ability, and it hurts my heart that he ever thought this was the best way to do it. Poor baby. Yes anxiety is an awful thing to suffer from, but Anxiety only wants to help Thomas. I wish he’d never had to be cast as the villain.
I love how much Anxiety has changed. Now he’s a lot quieter and less of a villainous character. Now he’s more part of the group, less antagonistic. I love his whole character arc just blows me away. Keep up the good work Thomas!❤️
Imma try to rename this episode: Superwoman annoying Virgil for fifteen minutes and sixteen seconds I just realised how much longer the episodes have gotten XD
@@scratchpaper345 What I meant is Thomas said himself that episode getting longer wasn't something that they plan and they don't plan to make longer episodes..
legit coming back here after the latest sander sides after finding out about Virgil being a dark side (which we kinda already knew) and seeing how his character has changed throughout the videos
*semi-spoilers for future character dynamics* Can we talk about how _sassy_ Anxiety is here. Like. Sassy and so much more... smiley than other videos. Honestly I feel like this whole video about taking on anxiety, and the way he's immediately established as the antagonist-that-can-be-defeated-don't-fear! without question, kind of sets a precedent for him about how all the interactions are going to play out and it makes him uncomfortable and just sort of retreat further into his shell as time goes on, becoming less "I have a job to do and it's kinda mean but fun lol" and more "nothing matters everyone hates me anyway". All the way up until Accepting Anxiety, which is the tipping point, after which he starts to venture further _out_ of that shell. I just think that's interesting, don't mind me.
I think about it a lot. It’s an interesting story arch. Whenever I saw the first Sanders Sides videos I never thought they’d evolve into something so amazing and complex and I love it
I know I'm late to the comment section, but when I he was talking about being anxious out of nowhere I started getting anxious because I was worried I would become anxious....
Ok so I have a theory. Anxiety was originally a dark side, and that's why he used to be so sassy and confident about stressing Thomas out(like in this video). But at some point, he became a part of the main squad. And since he became a main Side he started to question his actions because unlike when he was a dark side, he actually cared about Thomas's well being. But that's just my theory. Also I keep bingeing the Sanders Sides help
2:42 "Gee Lilly... I wonder what your friends are saying about you RIGHT now..." Selfishness vs. Selflessness: "What do you think people say about you when you leave the room...?"
I love how Anxiety went from a huge jerk who needed to be defeated,to an accepted character who simply thinks they're doing the right thing by causing Anxiety
Do you think Deceit will have a similar arch? It's just something I've been wondering...
Magzie Wheeler I think he might

How Lilly deals with anxiety: ignoring and making it go away
How Thomas deals with anxiety: befriend it
Ah yes. Only the best of solutions 😌
The Steven Universe approach
It doesn't befriend it he makes it a character
honestly befriend it is a pretty good strategy, ignoring is a temporary solution if you need a quick fix and accepting/"befriending" it is a good long term goal
How I deal with anxiety: Maybe if I fall in love with it or befriend it, anxiety will leave me too?
OMG old Virgil acts like a dark side and I love the foreshadowing
At this time, could he be apart of the dark sides? Like all the other characters they change. Logan in the beginning was all smiley, laughing at basically everything, and saying things that aren't literal. Patton protrayed himself as smart and more dad-like than he is now. Roman was..... Okay, maybe not all the characters have gone through character development.
Let's Chat
I think Roman has gotten more...
Insecure?
He was apart of them/
Let's Chat what if deceit sent him away from the dark sides but virgil still acted like a dark side to prove to deceit that he is still can be a dark side but as time went on he began to like the others and begun to hate deceit and remus and his old self.
But that just a theory.

I was thinking this

Not many people realize that we literally saved Virgil in some way. You can see on this video that Anxiety was immediately implied as a villain, an antagonist that was "defeated" at the end. Thomas confirmed that Anxiety was planned to be just a one video character but we wanted to see him more, and that allowed him to develop Anxiety as a character until we had the Virgil that we know now, and not only that but it also gave way to so many plot ideas. I think is amazing how a character that was "just a one-video thing" became so important to the whole Sanders Sides series

My idea of lighthearted is stuff like Happy Tree Friends and Deadpool or a Supernatural marathon. Focus on what exactly? I have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, asperger syndrome and autism. There's nothing to be positive about because everything is horrible and video games are my escape from reality. I think my grandma is secretly plotting to kill me. I hear voices telling me to burn things. Virgil hangs around me.😺👻
Zammygirl happy tree freinds is odd but supernatural is great. Your Virgil must be tarified.
@@silentshadow3894 I have a lot of problems. I know I'm weird. Ever think you might accidentally get flushed down the toilet? Mutant rats live in the sewers. If the sun burns out, we all die. There's a coronavirus outbreak. What if there's a zombie apocalypse? I saw movies like Resident Evil, 28 Days Later, Zombieland. Virus outbreaks turn people into zombies. I'm a paranoid mess.😺👻
I think I had a dream once where my sister got flushed down the toilet. When it comes to a zombie apocalypse honestly that would be a lot simpler of a life. It my be terrifying but then I wouldn’t have to deal with worrying about getting a job or getting good grades or anything like that. I would call that a win. Though I guess it also depends on what brand of zombies. If it was like world war z were they are really fast and the group looks more like a flood than anything that would be scary. The slow ones would probably be fine as long as I was smart about where I stayed.
@@silentshadow3894 Someone I don't know might seem nice, but then they're actually a serial killer, drug dealer or pervert. Maybe a perverted serial killer who sells drugs. What if you're more likely to be killed by a family member than a random person? What if there's an alien invasion? What if the COVID-19 mutates into something like t-virus, Mad Zombie Disease, Green Flu or even the dreaded Croatoan virus? What if there's an infestation of mutant rats? What if there's mutant demon bugs? What if your best friend is really a shapeshifting demon? What if we're under siege by space ghouls? How prepared are we for a zombie apocalypse? What if there's a food shortage? I'm a paranoid mess.😺👻
My favorite part of the video is that it implied that Dan and Phil have the same dreams
Lmao I noticed that too 😂
Isabella Fisher yay
Same lmao

This hits differently nowadays
Man this was when Virgil first entered the picture.... Let me just say that I love how Thomas developed Virgils character throughout the sanders sides. And man I did not like how Roman and Thomas referred to Virgil as that and it....it made me sad
Bbbbuuut I love how much he changed! Like-
*Pre Accepting Anxiety*
Virgil: sup
Thomas: AHHH
*Post Accepting Anxiety*
Virgil: hey Thomas
Thomas: ayyyy it's Virgil!!!
Man I love him so much
ArtFreak I KNOW RIGHT AHH
Billy Eyelash yah!
Just seeing him grow as a character while binging the series was really cool
“I just came back from a My Chemical Romance concert”
**tear falls down cheek as G note is played constantly**
Who noticed that at the beginning of the Sander Sides Logan and Virgil had really different personalities
I. I have this therory by mixing with other theories that virgil was paranoia and when he was paranoia, he was logans dark side, because when you are paranoid you doesnt think logical.
Kerle Star interesting 🤔 Yes that would be Logical- get what I did there cus we were talking about Logan... yeah Ima stop
A Human Being
And Patton as well...
Sassy Virgil and cute happy Logan
@@maeverobbins9824 , haha yeah
Anxiety has changed over time. At first he was sassy, cool, and annoying. Then, he just seemed rude. Now, he's sensitive and adorable.
yup, ever since he clocked out for a two-part video he's been so sensitive because he is still afraid of them no longer accepting him or liking him...
WHY DO ALL OF YOU (except Patton) MAKE HIM FEEL SO UNWANTED??!!
Emily Gigler I love the sensitive and adorable Anxiety
Well the first two times, he was trying to put up a hard persona to make sure Thomas listened to him, or at least hear him. At those two times, nobody really liked Virgil (Anxiety). But as they all slowly accepted him and took time to understand him, he showed them the 'real' him, per say. The more fragile/sensitive (and adorable) side he really is.
I don't agree with the 'fragile' part because of the amount he has gone through; moving on video - demonic voice and recent....Well...Problems -

And that makes me think otherwise, if Virgil were fragile then he wouldn't have made it through these.. Incidents as well as he did. But yes he is much more adorable now and less annoying and cocky.

A truer statement has not been uttered. 🤣
Ryder Anomalies facts tho
Things I noticed (Future SS spoilers)
-Virgil sits on his staircase in this video and ends up slowly getting closer as we welcome him and establish him as a character. (except for when he got very cocky and tried to make Thomas feel like he couldn't stop him)
-Virgil is very intense in this video and slowly cools off throughout the series, even going as far as to try not to be harsh as to not hurt Thomas.
(If someone else noticed it and put it down in the comments, I might've not seen before I posted. I probably wasn't the first)
I love how Thomas loves Virgil now

Me meeting Anxiety for the first time: I love him.
Me after watching every Sanders Sides video and knowing him as Virgil: I love him even more.
2016 Thomas: I wanna get rid of my anxiety. I hate him. He sucks.

How my anxiety is- Unfamiliar person. They seem nice, but what if they're a weirdo who saves their nail clippings in a jar of Vaseline mixed with water? What if they invite you over to their house and you need to use the bathroom and you sit down to use the toilet then feel something crawl up your butt. So you tell them what happened, but they tell you it was nothing even though you felt something go in there. You tell your parents, police and state authorities, but nobody believes you. So you think it was all a dream, but it turns out it's real.😨👻
I'm sure you're a great person irl! Its ok to worry about that kind of stuff, and you (and other people) prove your anxiety wrong all the time :)

I want a boyfriend, but I'm not good at talking to people that I don't know. Not to mention, I'm autistic and everything makes me anxious and uncomfortable.😨👻

This episode should be called “How to annoy Virgil in 5 minutes”
)
Virgil then: I am your very fear and self doubt personified. I will never leave you alone and will never stop terrorizing you.
Virgil now: I may seem bad at first, but I genuinely care about helping you and am also beloved by the fandom as a whole.
Looking back on this, Anxiety tried so hard to make everyone hate him. He knew that he was intended to be the villain, so he played his role. He taunted the others, he would make Thomas anxious, but he was trying his best to do his job. He pushed himself so far into his role that he thought it was best for him to leave, simply due to the fact that he cared too much about Thomas to keep ‘hurting’ him. I see now how much he wanted to help and overplayed his role so he could do his job to the best of his ability, and it hurts my heart that he ever thought this was the best way to do it. Poor baby.
Yes anxiety is an awful thing to suffer from, but Anxiety only wants to help Thomas. I wish he’d never had to be cast as the villain.
Omgs so true!!!
Well, with Deceit, we might get a backstory on him

legit coming back here after the latest sander sides after finding out about Virgil being a dark side (which we kinda already knew) and seeing how his character has changed throughout the videos
*semi-spoilers for future character dynamics*
Can we talk about how _sassy_ Anxiety is here. Like. Sassy and so much more... smiley than other videos. Honestly I feel like this whole video about taking on anxiety, and the way he's immediately established as the antagonist-that-can-be-defeated-don't-fear! without question, kind of sets a precedent for him about how all the interactions are going to play out and it makes him uncomfortable and just sort of retreat further into his shell as time goes on, becoming less "I have a job to do and it's kinda mean but fun lol" and more "nothing matters everyone hates me anyway". All the way up until Accepting Anxiety, which is the tipping point, after which he starts to venture further _out_ of that shell. I just think that's interesting, don't mind me.
I think about it a lot. It’s an interesting story arch. Whenever I saw the first Sanders Sides videos I never thought they’d evolve into something so amazing and complex and I love it
Yup
Totally see it
"Dan, Phil! Talk to mama."
Lol, I love that
First time I saw this I don't know who they were
The very second Virgil is introduced:
Fangirls: A child
Me: No-
Why is it just fangirls??????
I know I'm late to the comment section, but when I he was talking about being anxious out of nowhere I started getting anxious because I was worried I would become anxious....
Staci Canadian anxiety: being anxious about the idea of becoming more anxious... Yeah sounds like me.
WHY IS THAT ME?! 😂
I'm glad I'm not the only one
Relatable
Same
Ok so I have a theory. Anxiety was originally a dark side, and that's why he used to be so sassy and confident about stressing Thomas out(like in this video). But at some point, he became a part of the main squad. And since he became a main Side he started to question his actions because unlike when he was a dark side, he actually cared about Thomas's well being. But that's just my theory. Also I keep bingeing the Sanders Sides help
Well, he's always cared about Thomas's wellbeing. Even Deceit looks out for Thomas, they just do it in the way that they see best fit.
Lilly: "Dan and Phil are having these nightmares..."
