The Emotional Whiplash Of This Syrupy Fluff Fic I'm Working On, The Devastation Of Playing Expedition

Sooo listen...this was an accident. The fact that I did not lose the 50/50 not ONE TIME is some kinda weird uncanny juju and I just KNOW they are gonna make my ass pay for it with Sylus bday 😭😭

Anyway, time to crank up that crit rate and make SHC and deepspace trials my bitch, let's goooooo cuties 🥰

Oh boy. Someone get this photo studio outta my hands right now cause I got zero skill, but I sure will spend hours taking a buncha shit pictures anyway. (Do not @ me about the Caleb pic. I need to work on the lighting and that wasn't even the outfits I was planning, but for some reason the grip was so important to me that it became the focus 😅)

Ayn's Godheim route had its aww moments, but Lars' route affected me so much more than I thought it would. I 100% thought I was gonna be a Clarence girlie since he's my usual otome type, but idk how he's gonna top this cause I'm already emotionally ravaged and won over by this tyrant emperor 😳

Raw Data

If you're still here and reading this, hi! i hope you have a wonderful day and that you get to enjoy something nice today. Like a yummy meal, the sun warming your face, a shirt that fits just right or just a nice deep breath of fresh air. Keep it up, you got this !

Ok but leaving the gushing aside for a bit, please don't let this new 4 star distract you from the fact that Sylus is still missing his standard content!

9 months in and we still only have

6/18 3 stars

6/18 4 stars

1/3 free companions

1/3 anecdotes

1/2 bonds

1/2 free 4 star solar pairs

Additionally, they have yet to increase Sylus' affinity cap, despite several players having reached it already. Nor have they shown any indications that they will increase it.

Don't let the release of this new 4 star fool you into believing that this is a sign that the company is listening to us or trying to put things right. It's not. The 4 star is a 10 days with you card. It was something that was always scheduled to happen around this time, with or without our recent complaints.

Don't let this distract you from the drop rate scam (a fact that was even reported on by the CN government on World Consumer Rights Day).

Don't let it stop you from complaining to the company. Don't ever stop demanding your rights as a consumer. It is only when we speak up — whether with our words or with our wallets — that change might happen. If we are complacent, then we will keep getting fucked over. And when I say "we" I am not strictly referring to Sylus mains, but every single player.
