I love seeing fellow LADS yumes! (Don't worry, I'm not a double/not a Sylus main.) I feel like so many have gone quiet about it as the people who claim they'll only play it to ship literally everyone else are so loud and dominate the conversations here.

hi!! lololol it’s fine, i’m used to seeing even other sylus yumes

not surprised that ppl are invested in shipping the LIs (i assume that's what you mean by 'shipping everyone else'?)—after spending a decade on here, it gets pretty obvious which ships from a piece of media will get attention. i guess the kind of ppl who gravitate to tumblr find it easier to ship characters who are more fixed (since MC differs in personality when interacting with each LI?), or find it difficult to self-insert as MC even though it’s the intention of the game bc of the cringiness they associate with self-insert stuff, or they're not looking for an f/o, just a fictional pairing to obsess over

but i believe we yumes still make up the vast majority of ppl in the fandom. maybe they’ve only gone quiet bc they've gone over to twitter LMAO and also there’s a serious content drought currently. i expect we’ll have a banner by august, it’s up to us to feed ourselves until then 😣 if you're a raf main it's your time to shine!! ik his myth is next up

assuming you’re sharing/sharing-adjacent, i hope you find more yumes with the same main 🩷 don’t be afraid to liberally block or mute tags/keywords/people you don’t want to see. and ofc be loud and proud about your yumeship. ignore the stuff that you don’t like and make stuff that you do like!

i have experience in rooting for underdog ships so trust I KNOWWW how it feels, and i found that the best thing to do is not dwell on the underdogness too much bc it just made me bitter about differences in taste and the power of mass appeal and how it’s sooo unfair they had more fanworks and canon status meanwhile EYE had to cook my own food and debate about the legitimacy of my ship, etc. which is a specific kind of agony that is so hard to explain to ppl not in fandom. i just went crazy with writing posts and making fanart and reading fics and making fanart of those fics lol. and obv you don't need to limit yourself to those things, there's a lot of other stuff you can make/do

(another reason to feed your own obsession is when you want to develop certain skills, especially something like drawing. my own obsession with sybear has kept me from getting too rusty while going through hell (university))

good luck on your main’s next banner! 🤞

time does heal all wounds. trauma does get better over time, although it can take years. having trauma and characteristics shaped by it does not make you inadequate. it may mean you have different challenges to overcome than your peers do, but you will be stronger and more resilient than them when you inevitably come out the other side a changed individual.

speaking your mind and telling others how you feel is no easy task. you are not alone in your struggle. it can get better, and you are worth the patience and care it takes to heal. please be gentle with yourself <3

in terms of sylus and his feelings, i think how he feels is that you would be worth the time and patience it would require to have you comfortable around him and feeling as though you can speak freely. he would be willing to wait for you. he would love you in silence until you feel comfortable to love through conversation.

wishing you the best <3

awwww this message is so sweet jkdsbfjds trust that i believe in all of that, but society rewards “extroversion” (or extroverted characteristics) so much that it’s hard not to feel like there’s something wrong with you for being so reserved… and i'm surrounded by so many brilliant eloquent people that behave like they're untouched by what life has already thrown at them so far!!! it just kills me that there is this career i want and it seems like i could be good at it, but it demands that i speak my mind, that i become something i’m naturally not (i already know the consequences of that lol it's not pretty). and yeah my issue is that i really am impatient, like seriously

anyway that part about sylus made me laugh bc i just imagined him doing that thing cats do when they brush up against you for pets, except instead of just pets, he’s also waiting for you to...tell him anything! while not wanting to seem too expectant! which would be no big deal except for how he’s fucking huge and 6’2 and not a tiny tiger

so this giant cat just hangs around within your vicinity constantly on the off chance you might want to say something, making semi-transparent excuses to sit beside you or near you while polishing one of his guns or doing whatever on his laptop. it's so fun to combine how he's shameless but also doesn't want to pressure you. maybe he gets into the habit of doing or wearing something exceptionally weird that you have no choice but to speak up bc wtf is he thinking. go to the kitchen for a drink and he’s coming with, strikes up a conversation about beverages perhaps through ragebait, you reveal some strong opinions, and he’s scoooooored!

ik that’s not the way he’d do it, he’d throw large sums of money in there somehow, but it’s SO CUTE. big catlus! hungry for your voice!

thank you for this and have a good day hehe 💗

"Sylus, it's cold...!" "Already wrapped in multiple layers, and still you want to cling to me." (is quietly thrilled)

re: last reblog bc i dont want to write down all this in tags

bc of something my professor asked me yesterday regarding my career and also a post by a jp user on twt, i was thinking about sylus having to learn to deal with who i am. i wasn't raised to be argumentative, i don't seek out the company of other people, sometimes i go days without speaking to anyone bc i learned it was better to just shut the fuck up, which makes me ill-suited for the path my prof asked about. and that would be so frustrating for sylus lol like he wants to know everything! every little fact every little detail. this is one of the few points where i have trouble self-inserting—though god knows how much i love MC—she can talk his ear off all day. meanwhile he'd have to prod at me just to get a sound out of me. i don't know if i'll ever break out of this state of like... being afraid of touching a live wire. and it makes me feel so inadequate next to other people in my program, and in that class, and i hate it. it's so easy to lie about how i don't trust myself to speak. some things you lose before you can even understand it

tw eating disorder

i got this sticky note a few days ago but i just want to talk abt it...

how it sort of implies he trusts you to do as he says, but he couldn't help leaving a reminder for you, in case you do forget. and i love how he sounds so cheeky, like, he cares so much but he has to sound annoying and condescending about it

anyway i've always wanted to write a fic about how sylus deals with someone with an eating disorder, just bc i think it would be cute when he's begging and fussing over you. and the tension between his commitment to respecting your autonomy vs his need to ensure your good health, i want to see him so absolutely torn, what do you do when the person you love the most is so devoted to destroying themselves? and it's not like they're going out to try to get themselves killed, which imo is far easier to prevent or distract someone from compared to when it has to do with something as essential and constant as eating... it's like asking misfolded proteins to stop propagating. how something fundamental is warped and made dangerous

and it makes me kind of sad to imagine him being with me when i was starving, bc he has to mind what he says and does and think about whether taking a picture of me eating at a certain moment is a trigger, at what point should he just force me to eat
