#soliloquies

-let's say you have many plushies at home and you've been away for quite a while> sylus gets extra pouty you've been away for weeks. Do you think he's gonna sneak into your place and try to surprise you when you get back? Extra bonus if you find him hugging your stuffies or talking to them to self-comfort while you're gone

-if you were to attend a white elephant party with sylus & the twins (basically like a random gift exchange with a bunch of rules), what type of gift do you think sylus would purchase. Would it be a gag gift thats just ridiculously expensive or stupidly silly like whoever receives x gift has to learn how to diffuse a bomb (....wait this is sounding like more the twins mischief scratch that lol)

-let's say you and sylus are doing a mission together undercover. You have to pose as a couple that knows how to dance professionally together in a gala-esque type of setting. What dance are you choosing? And who is the one who keeps stepping on each other's foot more?

-similarly, lets say you two are doing a slow date night in and sylus pulls out some music for you to dance to together. Which song is he picking for the mood? 🤭😏✨️

-last and most important: if you were sylus's partner into your 40s/50s whatever older age you wanna pick: WHAT ARE YOUR FUNNY CUTE HEADCANONS (im a sucker for couples aging together fics 🥹)

oooh emmy coming in with the rapid fire questions! 🔥

1. i genuinely believe that he would sneak into your apartment because he misses you so intensely it hurts. it's not even sneaking in, more like you've given him a house key and he can let himself in at any time. he does, initially, aim to surprise you with a home-cooked dinner and a waterfall of kisses. and he begins in his preparations but he walks past the open door of your bedroom, spots your stuffies and his heart aches.

so when you arrive home, it's to a half made dinner and sylus who's curled up on your bed as he talks to the stuffies.

"—and i just miss her so much," he tells the stuffed crow, not even trying to conceal his whine. "i mean, i'm sure you and your friends miss her too but not as much as i do—"

sylus is startled by the sudden loudness of your laughter, bright and gleeful, and he doesn't even care that you've caught him like this.

he's all too happy to have you back as he rushes to bring you into his arms.

2. with white elephant, sylus would be the type to go one of two ways; he'd either get you something expensive or something small but meaningful. i feel like he'd pay close attention to what you and the twins find interesting throughout the year. mephisto is always doing surveillance so he is well prepared. but he'd engage in a prank or two, mainly to see the twins get all giddy and excited at the boss indulging them. to bring up your idea of whoever receives x gift has to diffuse a bomb, i absolutely see sylus doing it and trying not to laugh as you and the twins yell over each other about which wire is right to cut.

3. the tango immediately came to mind! it's a very sensual dance which receives a lot of closeness 😏 so they'd definitely be mesmerising the crowd with the electric chemistry they have. BUT you would definitely be stepping on his toes more because i like to think sylus was classically trained in various forms of dance. so he's the one guiding you, murmuring soft assurances into your ear as you apologise for stepping on his toes for the umpteenth time. it's a miracle that sylus still somehow managed to make you both look so elegant.

4. can't help falling in love with you by elvis 🥹 it's such a good song to slow dance to as sylus pulls you in and holds you close, your clasped hands over his heart as you rest your head on his chest. his head is on top of yours, both of your eyes closed as he sings the lyrics to you because, in a way, he relates to this song. he can't help falling in love with you time and time again 🥹

5. aaah aging couple you and sylus!

you both would definitely go to the park weekly to feed the birds. sylus has special imported birdseed because your park birds deserve the best.

you gently massaging sylus' fingers as arthritis sets in over the years. he never asks you to do that, never expects it but you're always paying attention to him. especially when he struggles to hold his guns. you just take them, weathered and worn, in your calloused ones and rub them until they're warm and the aching stops.

you two go to the community centre for bingo nights. you saw a flyer in the supermarket and told sylus it would be fun. sylus doubted it but had never been one to reject your ideas.

why was Grisha so shredded in his youth. it baffles me.

everyone else in aot, Eren, Mikasa, Reiner, Mike, Jean, Levi, Erwin, you name it, were trained soldiers who were in the military for years

Grisha was literally just some guy. he was a doctor in Liberio. what kind of lifestyle did he lead that resulted in that body type. did he do bench presses and remind himself of his dead sister through each one? did he chant his hatred for Marley during every push-up? did he try to suppress his revolutionary beliefs in his local Eldian gym? we'll never know.
