headcanon where sylus is a tambay sa kanto. he’s a wealthy man trying to blend in with the actual loafers because he’s romantically pursuing you, but you didn’t know that because he looks like he’s pursuing you for anything than your love.
(the local loafers of your neighborhood are all friendly. they always seem at the ready whenever you needed help for anything; most recently, to help you with taking groceries inside the house.)
he’s been beating himself out because ever since you started noticing he’s presence at the sari-sari store you started coming out of your house less; only going out when you really, really need to.
surprisingly, he became friends with the local loafers and while they kept on taking jabs at his pathetic, loverboi predicament, they all helped him come up with a master plan: operation harana.
def. of terms for (more) context 😌✨

notes: i lowkey want to make this a mini series. a lot of scenes have been popping up in my head already.😭🤚
in today’s post-myth announcement post, you’ll have me, tuser syslut: her thoughts collected(?), emotions stable(?), and completely normal(?) about where silverwings rest pv.
like usual, as i am such a clown for love and deepspace, i was waiting for the myth to drop since thursday.🤡 fuckin’ idiot. (as if i didn’t have lads’ twitter notifs on.) doubling down, i was also waiting for sylus’ nendoroid to drop.
anyway—
I AM SO HAPPY YOU GUYS. SO EXCITED THAT SYLUS’ THIRD MYTH IS COMIN' TUESDAY!😭🤚 WE ARE ENTERING A NEW MYTH ERA.✊
now, on a more serious note, was i expecting sylus to be a vampire on this myth? no. vampire sylus was at the bottom of my list. it didn’t even cross my mind when i was going through some theories and posts about his new myth. but do i dislike it? GOD NO. hate it? DOUBLE GOD NO.
also vampire!sylus enthusiasts must be beaming right now. congrats, you guys. the vampire headcanon is now canon. manifesting works.😌🫶✨
it’s very castlevania alucard and I LOVE THAT SEXY VAMPIRE. and on some frames from the pv it’s giving BG3 astarion. and i love the gothic theme. lowkey manifested gothic sylusmc since this post of mine talking about sheridan le fanu’s carmilla.
additionally, i was leaning more on to feathered-wings sylus. as in king of crows sylus with the same build as grassland romance sylus.
ultimately, i am still under the impression that sylus is not actually a vampire but more like a demon.
hear me out. while the vampire aesthetic is there, one non-vampire thing stood out to me, which then made me think of demon sy instead of vampire sy: summoning sylus through a seal/circle. mc did draw a seal on the floor and sylus pops out of it.
i am not a vampire lore expert, and though i am not a demon expert either, but i do dabble with demonology from time to time and seals/summoning circles are not typically a vampire thing. perhaps, it’s more likely a combination of the two, but leaning more to the vampire aesthetic.
a little about the infamous myth leak. okay, when i saw it the first time, i thought, “yes that’s my husband. that’s his blurry face and figure.” and i got so excited. but then others started saying it’s not sylus, bc the blurry image also looked similar to a shining nikki character named mercury (except for the hair). i doubted my eyes and thought, “ah okay. so it’s not sylus. but he’d look good it that fit.”
only for it to be true! i should have never doubted my eyes when it comes to sylus.😭🤚 and apparently, it’s been circulating for about 10 months? insane. insider, stop this behavior.
the image in question:
and now, time to expose myself. this was me during the first two hours of the pv release forever immortalized in this post. yes, i am so normal about sylus.
also my rafayel girlie friend sent messages telling me sylus’ new myth pv is out and i was like: 😭🤚
my philosians really said, “if my wife dies, i die with her. no exceptions.” starcrow really did.😭🤚 they really are each other’s counter parts. #loveanddeadwives
and there’s a lot of parallels from valleydream bloom and alternate darkborne.😭🤚 combine those scenes with an angsty bgm and edit—
also sylus throwing mc to that tower? piercing each other? they really have a unique way of flirting.😭🤚 i am so excited to dive in and get hurt.
another insane frame of sylus: philos’ women passed on this? they’re crazy.😭🤚
i’ve seen posts saying the pv didn’t feel as devastating as the OG3s’ but i feel like it’ll be worse bc sylus’ card previews, based on his previously released cards, don’t show the most important parts. so, maybe we’ll get devastated then; when we all read the myth.🥹👀
now, i am not a battle girlie, but the visuals for the companion are insane. it looks so good.
and these 4-star cards? EVEN MORE INSANE.
the 3-star card visual? FEAST ON ME. IDC. UR NOT SATIATED YET, YOU LIAR. LOOK AT THAT FACE:
sylus’ visuals never seize to shut me up. goddamn, man. were you ever unattractive at some point?!
and this detail on the event’s naming convention. i love it. it sort of sums up the setting and the story of the cards.
i am still coming down from the high of the pv release but i gotta face the reality: i don’t have enough saved to pull. and i might lose my 50/50s along the way (since the universe hates me atm). but i have resigned to my fate: a gacha whale.
also to all f2p players and everyone else who had skipped sylus’ multi/solo banners, i hope you get both cards and never lose your 50/50s. y’all have endured so much.😌🫶 your time is now.
i am also looking forward for the where silverwings rest poster. i truly love the OG3s’ myth posters, and i am hoping papergames would add it to their next myth merch lineup. PLEASE.😭🙏 i want it on my wall.
birthday card secured 🎉✨ i started pulling at 6:34 AM (it’s the weekend; i don’t have a life) feeling nervous and anticipating to get hard-pitied, but guaranteed (-ish). (pity at 50.)
when i pulled for the fifth time, i heard that all-too familiar 5-star card indicator in the background and i started praying; had my eyes close too.😭
but you know what came up as the 4th card?
BOOM. (colonel’s been doing this to me since he came back as a love interest; he would not leave me alone. 👀🥴🤚)
i was about to crash out (and i swear to god its too early for that), but then the 7th card came up and it’s—
xavier loves me. and i love him.😌💕✨ and the card preview is insane. look at the face card, he look so good in warm light under the starry sky.🥹❤️
