#YOU DA BEST

[hellamorte]

back on stage in my big clown leander shoes, a promised post. here's what i talked about previously: part i, part ii, part iii

let's go back to the last two points in part i (starting with 'now hear me out'): i replayed the whole scene and turns out i was wrong. here's why: 1) never write any theories at 5 am 2) never take things out of the context. sorry for misleading you, lemme make some amends:

if you choose the 'keep touching him' option, leander will notice how desperate and touchstarved mc is (he's constantly pausing before speaking: afraid of hurting anyone with his words or skillfully manipulating? i know it's the latter, but what if it's both? 👁), keeps eliciting information and, when his suspicions are confirmed, he puts his trusted weapon to use: flirting (empty flattery, as vere said). we all know he's lying and he's not infatuated with mc at all (his pulse was steady). BUT!!

power?? is that some kind of doublespeak because leander doesn't want to mention the curse and ruin the moment OR is it a slip, and the curse is not a curse but something that mc just cannot control (yet?)? 🤔

for now the 'level-headed' line in the context seems to be used just for building mc's trust, not for hinting that controlling the curse is difficult; same with "we match" — to stress that everything is okay, and leander's completely reliable, because hey! he and mc are alike! (i am squinting suspiciously here though, i still have a hunch he means so much more) however, that's yet to be seen how much truth leander actually reveals in his speech.

the question is: why does leander need mc to trust him with their life? he can control the curse, can he teach mc how to do that? or does he want to use them however he likes, feeding them lies and using mc's "curse" (or even mc) as a weapon? much to think about.jpg

THAT ONE ANON IS BACK WITH THEIR HEADCANONS BABYYYYY

So I think syntax would secretly want plushies as gift LIKE buy him one and he'll keep it forever

I think syntax is kinda bad at cooking I mean he could do spaghetti n easy stuff like that. He would had a hard time making a soup while u are sick or he'll just buy it from somewhere idk?

I think when he was a child people would call him nerd 24/7 and people still do that anyways

I think he would listen podcast instead of songs...(nerd)

I HAVE A FEELING THAT HE USED TO HAVE A IGUANA NAMED "JOHNY" IDK WHY

I think when someone compliments him (especially u) he gets flustered easily

IMAGINE IF HIS S/O IS USING HIM AS A BODYPILLOW he wouldnt even move he would be like 🧍 because he is scared that he'll wake u up

YESSSSSS WELCOME BACK YOURE THE BEST

reaching out throughtumblr to give you a big fat hug dude (if you'll have one of course)

ANYWAYS, AHEM

YES. ANON. PLZ, YES. So first off, one of Syntax's love languages IS gifts to begin with, so he'll treasure anything you give him no matter what (take the friendship bracelet in Heartstrings for example. Tacky, isn't his style, but he wears it almost constantly). But secretly, in the deepest, darkest corners of his desires, he'd really like something like a plushie I suppose. I can also imagine him wanting programming tools or things that would help him in the technological aspects of his life. But yes, plushies would NOT be turned down.

And sure! I know in Heartstrings I've made it clear that Syntax can cook with INSTRUCTIONS, of course. He can cook food as long as there's a set list of how to prep it, just like there's a set procedure to program, and also set scientific variables. He's not good with going rogue, to put it blandly (unless it's USING those set variables to create something.) But yea, put him in the kitchen and ask him to create something, he won't JUST explode your toaster, no sir.

He's actually come to terms with the nerdy nicknames. It tells him that people know he's smart, that they're aware of his abilities. He actually wouldn't mind it if people underestimated him, because it's easier to impress and surpass them that way.

Take canon Syntax for example. In the Sleep Bug episode, he was keen on not fighting MK head on, instead using cleverly worded insults to give a punch, but not too much.

MK assumed that Syntax was just another spider demon, and also one who was unwilling to take him on. Assuming Syntax was scared.

But ho boy.

Syntax preferred it this way. He preferred to have MK underestimate him because now, when MK had to face off the spider gang, Syntax had already taken over half the city with HIS tech gadgets, HIS weaponized machinery. The people were rendered helpless zombies because of Syntax's creations, and it was only due to godly forces outside of Syntax's control that his operation went sideways.

He was the backbone of the entire operation.

He knows his self worth and will only doubt himself if the people he cares about make clear any complaints or faults in his character. Which normally never happens, but ever since you came along . . . well.

AND YES. PETS. Okay Syntax does neglect himself far too much to even consider the fact that he might be very adept at taking care of other people (turns out, he is, for the most part). But animals??

Dude's only companions back when he was a kid were animals (kids didn't want to hang out with someone who tested them on the table of elements and what an atomic bomb is composed of). I can totally imagine him having a pet iguana and naming it Johnny. Sure, his social skills were not the best, but having a pet at that age taught him how to properly nurture others and care for them. Also sensing if something is wrong (something that was only heightened by the spider venom). Cause like, how hard would it have been to tell if an iguana was sick or not. Syntax must've trained himself to notice the little things.

And YES. But like, only if it's someone he cares about or has feelings for.

If a random person or a coworker complimented his tech skills, he'd brush it off pompously like "Yes, I know. Now get back to work."

Inside, it's a little ego boost.

Said ego boost only increases if the compliment came from someone like you. Dude would easily get flustered and try to hide it, but you find it absolutely adorable!

DUDE DUDE DUDE. Syntax is TOUCHED STARVED. I REPEAT. Physical contact is foreign but he's secretly desperate for it. Sure it's strange and new and scary and he might shy away the first time, but if you're patient and take small steps, he'll learn to embrace it (like, full on sweep you off your feet, take you to the couch, and refuse to let you go for at least three minutes. He likes the things you talk about when it's quiet.)

THANK YOU FOR THESEEEE!! I'm sorry i spawned a bunch of headcanons here we are molding his past like clay

hi !!! i want to help review the spanish on the fic from your other blog but unfortunately my main blog i feel most comfortable reblogging with is glitched or shadowbanned, either one– so my reblog or comment wouldn't be visible and i wouldn't be able to message you </3

oml that’s why I couldn’t see the notifications!!! I was wondering if my own tumblr was glitching!

I’d really appreciate the review 😊!! I tried using a translator that’s apparently ‘really accurate’ I thought it may be better than google translate but I was doubtful 😅! I’ve opened the ask box over on the other blog so you can send any edits/suggestions there!!!

Again I am most appreciative 😚 thank you for reaching out!! I hope tumblr fixes your shadowban 😭 I’ve been there before and it is not fun!
