seasonal clown

This tweet immediately made me think of Sylus and how it perfectly encapsulates one of the major reasons why I believe he is such a comfort character not only for me but for a large number of people.

Remember what he says during the anniversary video, for example:

"Now that you've stepped into my world, let your ambitions run wild"

And:

"Your truest self will forever be etched into the fabric of my soul" (such a beautiful, poetic line augh 💘)

Not to mention the number of lines he has throughout the game where he encourages his lover to be greedy etc. if that's what they want to be.

With Sylus, there is no need for pretension. He wants you to always be your realest self with him. Because he genuinely loves and adores you for being you. And to be loved in such a way is, to quote the above tweet, such a safe feeling. Such a chef's kiss.

SYLUS: If you don't want to lie down, we better make the most of our time before dawn.
