#Sylvie Speaks

[ee-where-they-shouldnt-be]

*loud evil laughing* MWAHAHAHHA!!

HOW COULD YOU

[pencap]

I'm so thrilled to hear this blog is sparking joy for you again! I've been moved and inspired by your poetry since the moment I discovered your words over seven years ago. Thank you sincerely for the ways you have fed my soul, and welcome back! Wishing all good things for you & hoping you are well ❤️❤️ (3 words if you want to use them, but no pressure: prophet, circumstance, toll)

thank you for the lovely words! it's always so so heartwarming to hear folks find some kind of meaning in my poetry. wishing all the good things back to you, sweetheart.

so here i stand at the end of days, bare-handed and empty-chested with no more blades left to wield and no more hope left to shield. and there you stand at the end of days cold-lipped and thin-hearted with no more words left to say and no more hearts left to sway. i would make myself prophet, word by knife-edged word if only it would let me speak you back to me. i would pay the toll in my blood, drop by poison-fang drop if only it would let me cross the burnt bridges back to you. my darling apocalypse, my beloved calapmity, my sweetest devastation-- i do not much care if the road we re-trod would lead us right back here to this battlefield at the end of days where all things must end where you and i must end. if only i could stand next to you at the end of days side by side hand in hand heart to heart

HI! You can call me Ashi or Sylvie, I don't mind which!!

>I'm a digital artist, character designer, and storywriter who's always full of ideas!

>My main projects currently are:

THE BAT'S BELFRY: A fantasy/coming-of-age webcomic that follows the story of Margot Lilycrowe, a student attending The Donahue Institute for Sciences and Magic, who must navigate new friendships and experiences all while trying to save her entire realm from impending forces with friends and allies by her side. (2.5 years in development as of writing!)

KAZOO AND YOU: A horror/dark comedy project surrounding the mystery of the colorful puppet cast of Kazoo (With O'Malley and Lou), a late '70s television program that's been pushed into obscurity after its cancellation. Now nothing but alleged lost episodes, discarded merchandise, a long-abandoned and small theme park and a dusty, decrepit studio behind barbed wire and ivy, many are convinced that Kazoo may have a much bigger mystery lying deep beneath its surface of colorful characters and silly songs, but of course, it's all the mere speculation of a bunch of wannabe detectives and horror fanatics. Right…? (Nearly 2 years in development as of writing!)

HELLCHASER: A story blog that takes the reader along with fallen angel Azra Stormchaser as he tries to navigate his way out of the underworld Styx using the reluctant but powerful assistance and gifts from the 7 Pillars- Wrath, Pride, Greed, Envy, Sloth, Lust, and Gluttony, in order to find and expose the truth about Heaven, and hopefully stop the apocalypse in its tracks. (Nearly 2 years in development as of writing!) >That's about it!!! I hope you like what I've got to share, and thank you to all who've stuck around all this time to see what I've got in store!! ♥♥

WHAT DO YOU FUCKING MEAN THE M IN MOBIUS M MOBIUS STANDS FOR MOBIUS. HIS FULL NAME IS MOBIUS MOBIUS MOBIUS?? I’M GOING TO START SOBBING THAT’S HILARIOUS AND ALSO AWFUL??

[kscope]

i think splatoon 3′s salmon run should have a fun mode where you and your teammates are able to pick the weapons in your rotation. like maybe not picking which weapons you, yourself, are playing, but each individual person in the 4 person group can pick 1 weapon to put in the pool that gets randomized like in a normal shift. it wouldnt have to be a normal mode, but it’d be fun in the private matches that they’re letting u host now. if this is already a thing i came up with it first btw

[theglassdragoncollective]

We have come to understand why, but the Tundra is a really funny subsystem to airdrop random people in the midst of The Escapees/The Family Company front-stuck hell.

Man, y'all ever just feel listless? Like, the most I can do write now is dream of all these characters in my head. I see their interactions, their romances and their daily lives but I'm just too tired to bring it all to life. Even though I know I'm the only one who can create these lovely things the way I want to. I hope I can find the will before it's all gone.

[nikkoliferous]

after reading the one hundred and one millionth inane quote about how Loki is such a pRiViLeGeD pRiNcE while Sylvie is just a poor baby who had no real childhood and had to learn to fend for herself from a young age, I feel the need to point out that even the ONE thing we know about Sylvie's past, the thing that's supposed to be her mAjOr tRaUmA and set her apart from him somehow, was literally stolen from Loki.

this is how Tom described Loki's experience post-suicide attempt back in the day while doing press for Avengers:

“I think he went, like with everything else, to a sort of… it was just like, the worst place imaginable. I think he went to all of the darkest recesses of the universe. I’m sure he had a brush with—several brushes with death. I think he ran into the shadiest characters you can find in the Nine Realms. I think he had to rely on his wits to protect himself. It was really, really, really unpleasant, I think. I don’t have any frame of reference for that, except for imagining what it might be like to be kidnapped by a terrorist or something and have to survive a very, very frightening and precarious existence. But whatever it was, it was important when Loki came back for The Avengers, that whatever compassion he had left was absolutely shriveled to a minimum because of the experience that he had. Harrowing, I think, and scarring for life—in a way that Thor and Odin and Frigga find very, very difficult to understand.” [source]

and now the show pretends that Loki teamed up with Thanos completely of his own will, even though Marvel had JUST confirmed that the sceptre was influencing him throughout Avengers, and they hand that traumatic backstory that was Loki's off to their precious OC.

I got math first period this shit sucks man

I'm still at school and don't have my sprites pretend there's a Sylvie crying right here

[pencap]

so happy you're back. Your words are beautifully crafted and a joy to read. Perhaps: reverence, overwhelm, golden

in the golden light of day when the sun is warm and bright and smiling it is easy to smile back at the endless blue sky with gratitude and reverence and hope.

but in the deepest dark of night when the heavens are cold and closed and uncaring it is easy to get lost in the endless black gloom full of fear and rage and despair.

it's alright, darling. it's alright. just because you are lost does not mean you will never find your way again. it's alright. i promise.

the cold dark may overwhelm you but remember that the stars are there even in the dark even in the moonless night even if the clouds hide them away and they are watching over you.

and someday at some forgotten hour even the endless night will end and the sun will rise again.

[sylviesparks]

This is such a nothing burger but I just wanted to clarify that I do now have a reblog specific blog :) This blog is going to be committed specifically to my art and creative content, while my reblogs and such will go over on @sylvie-reblogz Other than that I have nothing else to say other than more fun and whimsical art coming soon here at sylviesparks :3

SPLATOON CHILL SEASON '22

Figured since I have the time, I may as well sit down and share my thoughts on all the things I've noticed in the new trailer for Splatoon 3's upcoming CHILL SEASON! I'll likely start just by talking about the new weapons and maps, and move into what else I noticed in the trailer and about how excited (or not) I am about certain things!

Feel free to share your own thoughts in the replies/notes !!

THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR SPLATOON 3'S CHILL SEASON TRAILER, IF YOU DON'T WISH TO BE SPOILED, GO WATCH THE VIDEO FIRST AND COME BACK! All spoilers will be located beneath the cut! But, without further ado, let's get into it:

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE NEW WEAPONS

01. NEW SHOOTER — "SPLATTERSHOT NOVA"

In the process of making this post, the Squid Research Lab posted individual renders of each of the new weapons, as well as the official names. It appears this bad-boy is actually a part of the Splattershot family, something I was both expecting and hoping I was wrong about. Personally speaking, I think we had enough -shot weapons. Not to mention enough shooters, but I'll take a cool-looking weapon where I can get it.

I had a friend describe this weapon as "edgy" looking, and I can't argue with that take, but I can say I don't mind it. Compared to the other weapons in the -shot family, it has its own stand-out look. I can't say I'll be maining this weapon, or playing it more than once or twice, but I can say that I'm excited to see how it plays and what it's gimmick is.

We don't get much screentime in the video for this, but the combination of what we do see, as well as the Twitter post from the SRL, we know a couple of things: it has killer wail, "galactic range", and pretty consistent aim. I don't have any predictions on where this will end up in the meta, but if they give it a good enough sub it may just end up being a cunt to play against, that's for sure.

02. NEW ROLLER — "BIG SWIG ROLLER"

The name is this weapon is so weird and funny that I really just want to take a moment to look at it and laugh. "Big Swig Roller". Who came up with this and why? I don't know, I don't care, but also I do. Why. Please, if you have answers, contact your local tumblr user kscope immediately.

This roller seems to be attached to a soda drink, with a straw being the connecting centerpiece of the roller as a whole. A friend of mine called this the "soda roller" thanks to this, and I'm stealing it from her, since it's befitting. If you ask me, this appears to be some weird mix between the dynamo roller (turf coverage) and the carbon roller (speed). The little bit of screentime it gets in the trailer shows off how much ground it covers, as well as its supposed speed.

The SRL post on Twitter tells us that it can cover a lot of ground, with very little ink consumption. This leads me to believe this is primarily going to be a turf-covering weapon, as opposed to being a damage-dealer. More likely than not, roller-crushing your enemies with this weapon won't be a thing. If they want to prove me wrong though, they can. There's still time, Nintendo.

As for the kit for this thing, I have no idea. It primarily seems to be used as a turfing weapon, so they'll probably give it something to compliment its speed and coverage. If not for Dynamo, I'd have guessed Tacticooler since it'd be good for special-farming. Without that, little clue, little idea. Thank God I'm not a roller player.

03. NEW CHARGER — "SNIPEWRITER 5H"

AS A CHARGER MAIN: I hate this stupid looking charger. I do not claim this stupid looking charger. I don't know whose ungodly design this was. Nintendo I am knocking on your HQ doors right now for answers. Let me in. I just want to talk.

All that aside, I do kind of like its name, and I like the idea. It reminds me of those pencils with different tips stored inside it, if you know what I'm getting at. I won't include a picture, but it's the ones that sometimes came in different shapes and were stackable. If you know you know.

As for the execution, I'm not a fan. This weapon is what happens when you ask charger players what they want in a weapon, but only listen to the Bamboozler mains. It got the most screentime out of all the new weapons, and from that we can see that this thing is capable of storing up to 5 shots, while being a 2-shot kill. Whether or not it has held-charge was never shown in the trailer, but I'm going to hope and pray to the Splatoon Gods that it does not.

What we do know, however, is that it has Tacticooler. I wanted this on a charger, any charger, but now that I have it I would do anything to take it back. This game fucking hates me. End post. Wait, actually, it also has a sub that has pretty high ink-consumption. Which one that is, however, is still unknown.

04. RETURNING WEAPONS

In conjunction to these three completely new weapons, we also got a peek at a couple of the returning weapons. According to the press release, we're getting a total of ten returning weapons. We didn't get a glimpse at all of them but the ones we did are as follows (alongside what I know of their kits):

DAPPLE DUALIES NOUVEAU (w/ torpedo)

ANOTHER MINI SPLATLING (w/ toxic mist & big bubbler)

TENTATEK SPLATTERSHOT (w/ splat bomb)

LUNA BLASTER NEO (w/ fizzy bomb)

FORGE SPLATTERSHOT PRO (w/ suction & booyah bomb)

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE NEW MAPS

It looks like this time, we're only getting two new maps (one of which is just a returning map from Splatoon 1). Nonetheless, let's get into it.

01. NEW MAP — "BRINEWATER SPRINGS"

My friends and I are constantly talking about how The Reef might get re-added to the game and everything, but this map kind of reminds me of it. Not in terms of its aesthetics (they are completely different in that regard), but rather in terms of their design.

In the Twitter post showing off the map, the SRL wrote "Defend the high ground or risk it all to invade from below?" From the video, it appears to have a central bridge, much like the reef, with an open area beneath it. This map, to me, is what would happen if you took The Reef and Snapper Canal, combined them, and then gave them a completely new aesthetic look.

Oddly enough, I don't hate it and I'm really excited to play it. It looks like it'll have a lot of verticality to it, and hopefully won't inspire every sweaty player to try to terrorize my spawn every chance they get.

02. RETURNING MAP — "FLOUNDER HEIGHTS"

I'll preface my opinions here by saying that: yes, I did play Splatoon 1. However, I played it briefly before 3 came out, which means that it was underpopulated. I also didn't play it much, and usually when I did, the same maps were always in rotation. I think I landed on Flouder Heights a total of one time, and that one time was a hot mess. I played with my Splatoon Veteran friends who were sniping me from places on the map I didn't know existed.

That is to say: this map is basically completely new to me.

Right now, it looks like Flounder Heights got Manta-ified. The walls that we're shown in the Twitter video supplied by SRL look to be about the same height as the walls out of camp in Manta Maria. For a map titled "Flounder Heights," I almost wish they would have kept the taller walls and the verticality.

Of course, I'm not complaining about the decluttering of the map as a whole. From what I do remember of it from 1, it was a total clusterfuck of a map, and terrible to navigate. This is coming from someone who was new to the game, walking backwards from Splatoon 2 to Splatoon 1, but at the same time, I don't think it was completely just the perspective that was an issue. I think Flounder Heights was really just Like That in 1, and that 3 is looking to fix that in part.

I just wish it had fixed it without removing "Heights" from the name of the map. But, I suppose beggars can't be choosers. At the end of the day, it still looks like a fun map! Hopefully it'll still be a fun map to snipe people on when it officially releases.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE NEW GEAR

Attempt two at this! Tumblr fucking sucks as a website and completely undid the list I was working on, so I had to start from scratch. I am saving this time, because I was a fool not to. I am very upset, but we will pretend like I am not as we get into this. I'll be making a list of new & returning gear, in order from headgear, to clothing, to shoes.

HEADGEAR

skull bandana (RETURNING)

sv925 circle shades (RETURNING)

retro specs variant (NEW)

fake contacts (RETURNING)

white ocho octophones (NEW)

jellyvader cap (RETURNING)

annaki beret (RETURNING)

battlecrab helmet (NEW)

CLOTHES

inkwash shirt (RETURNING)

tan apex sweater (NEW)

new (light) kensa jersey (NEW) [ 1 ]

white ls shirt (UNKNOWN) [ 2 ]

black ls shirt (UNKNOWN) [ 3 ]

ski jacket variant (NEW)

dark bomber jacket (RETURNING)

inverse orca bolero (NEW)

SHOES

blue force reboots (NEW)

squink wingtips (RETURNING)

splatoon ugg boots (NEW)

new black shoes (NEW) [ 4 ]

ink-white clam 600s (NEW)

gold hi-horses (RETURNING)

black habaneros (NEW)

new kensa shoes (NEW) [ 5 ]

[ 1 ] — I'm not certain on this one, but in the thumbnail of the trailer, the inkling holding the new charger is the same inkling that has the splattershot pro in the gameplay. The view of his outfit in the video is abysmal so I took it upon myself to look at the thumbnail instead. It strikes a resemblance to a piece of gear that was hinted at in the Splatoon 3 pre-release Halloween art.

[ 2 ] & [ 3 ] — These are just two shirts that I can't figure out the brand of. I've decided not to try to name them, since I don't really know anything about them at all. The white one seems to be a button-down (I think?), whereas the black one resembles a sweater to me. Either way, pictures are below.

[ 4 ] — Same situation as the last one, kind of. I can tell they're new for the most part, but they're just completely black. I want to say they're Kensa shoes just because there's a fuckton of Kensa gear coming in, but I can't tell, so I'm not gonna say it. The dualies player in the above images is wearing the shoes in question.

[ 5 ] — Meanwhile, these are very obviously Kensa shoes, they're just Kensa shoes I haven't encountered yet. I don't know what to name them because of this. Peep the white Kensa symbol in the middle.

ANNNNND that's all I've got for ya. I spent too long writing this. I spent too much time on this in general. Tomorrow they're gonna post something on Twitter (if it still exists) that fills in something I'm missing (the kits). I don't care anymore.

Oh yeah, also: BIG RUN!!!!!!! FUCK YEAH BIG RUN!!!!!! Anyways:

THANKS FOR READING!
