#love and deepspace affinity

[deepspace-mens-socialarchives]

Hello I noticed you shared the ss of affinity for requirement and iirc for Sylus we jumped from lvl 1 to 5 right? Do you know if it's the same with other LI?

And I recently saw someone shared a quote from the affinity but sadly they don't specify which one and I don't remember if I already passed it. I thought we can check it at the affinity level on the LI profile so I only ss a few. If you don't mind, is it okay if you shared the affinity ss for Zayne? Only if you feel it's not a burden and if you have records of it of course. Thank you for everything 🩵

Hi

Whoever anon is I hope you get the response you wanted .

Please read the whole thing where I will try to explain the whole affinity quote thing based on my experiences..I have been meaning to talk about this

Let's talk about affinity first -

Let's start with latest man of the hour ,Sylus

Yes if u unlock sylus in main story you immediately jump from 1-4/5+ (depending whether u did the chat and then replied to his posts) immediately.

Reasons being - fighting with him ,getting cards so unlocking companion , chatting with him and interacting in posts.

I did all that as they designed a player to do and Got to 1-5

if you skip socials then it will be 1-4 jump.

For Zayne

He is the 3rd LI we meet in game ,And 2nd companion we unlock in destiny cafe after chapter 1

Mind you you can take a break after Chapter 1 with no one to rush you .

There's a [story] we get from him .

AND the BOND tutorial makes you do HIS bond as tutorials.

so with all that thing ,his affinity jump is very High overall in your first day of playing . But since everything happens After he is unlocked as companion you might be lucky to see the 💓1-> 💓2/3 and gradual progress if u don't do alotta stuff together because then the jump would be 2->6 ,8->13 due to catching up in affinity level .

but you can get 10-12+ affinity overnight if u are new player and you main him .

Same goes for Xavier .

You can unlock him BEFORE zayne in fact u can stop story midway where u didn't meet zayne and interact with Xavier .

Although he doesn't have the bond tutorial buff .

He is the face for the rest of tutorials ,name it Touching in destiny cafe ,Trial stages ,very first card u ever level up or equip Protocore to .

And you what comes with it? Affinity level up!!

Add choosing him in beginner standard banner.

Yeah..

you can get 10-12+ affinity overnight as a new player if u are new player and you main him .

For Rafayel

He is locked in Chapter 2.. a lot of new players makes the mistake of not finishing chapter 2 but pulling for him .resulting the delay of his affinity level up

When we unlock him in story we use our very first Burst with him .and then there are two Text back to back that helps his affinity.

But for rest you have to be clever and him focused .Because with all the tutorials ,Zayne & Xavier's status has higher advantage of boost without you even trying ..

Just like how everyone has advantage in terms of affinity level against Sylus but you can still see Some fans hitting affinity 70 with him .

About quotes-

When you unlock sylus

his first quote is always

💓1->5/1->4

"You are the one who walked in "

In fact he goes on and on

But in my second alt I didn't respond to the chat .

So I had💓 1->4 jump

Then I got new and interesting quotes due to Cycle being different (4->5 & 6->8 for example)

Then you might think "oh it's the unique cycles that gives the unique quotes"

True BUT

They are just early access & not locked in that particular affinity change.

LIs has chances of saying one single Quotes in a row .

Zayne once went "you are like a dessert" "you are like a dessert " "you are like a dessert " "you are like a dessert" from 22->23->25->26->27->28->29->31 affinity IN A ROW . I think he thinks of mc as dessert idk guys what do you think?

Likewise sylus sometimes he goes on tangent on one singular quote

But it doesn't guarantee he will say same thing for you..he didn't do for me

But one thing stays consistent is the affinity where moment post / chat / phone call unlocks .

for those affinities you will get quotes that stays consistent for most part .

that's why I try include the screenshot of them because chances are they are same for you .

unless you are odd one out-

But 100% consistency?? Are they though??

🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

another example ,same quote but entirely different stage of affinities .

So yeah it's hard to tell "exact" affinity you will get your quotes .

when the new companion unlocks

The very first affinity quote from every LI will and should be same for everyone

then as you progress ,When everything is new about them ,that's where it's same quotes for affinities for every player .

For zayne

his first quote for me was always

💓1->2

"it's a wonderful thing to see you again"

then these following quotes will come through (this is based on last encounter SS)

💓 2->3

" it's a wonderful thing to see you again"

💓21->22

For Xavier

First quote last time was

💓1->3

then these following quotes will come through (this is based on last encounters SS)

💓5->7

"companionship sounds like a good idea"

💓9->10

💓11->12

"I won't be a player short in two-player game anymore "

💓11->12

" now I have someone I can share food with"

💓12->13

"I won't be a player short in two-player game anymore "

💓13->14

" now I have someone I can share food with"

💓14->15

" now I have someone I can share food with"

💓16->17

"I won't be a player short in two-player game anymore "

💓16->17

" now I have someone I can share food with"

💓 17->19

" now I have someone I can share food with"

💓18->19

"I won't be a player short in two-player game anymore "

💓18->19

" now I have someone I can share food with"

💓19->20--20->21--21->23->

"every promise to see each other will be kept "

A lot repeating and eventually new stuffs comes as you get into new double digits ig . But the line up-

that isn't 100% same for everyone.

Personally I pick the one I get the most times for all 3 options combined ,but I could be wrong too ,there is a chance.

But in the end you will get the quotes sooner or later [it's only a matter of time].

So now we know even though there's serial of when the news quote arrives ,there also isn't.

So what we need is a list of all existing quotes possible,because some players can get stuck with getting one repeatedly ,correct .

There's an awesome player who has been archiving the Affinity quotes for all the LI Boyz @its-de

Check their threads out here's a link of sylus .you can click around and see them as there are also zayne ,rafayel & Xavier's threads.

Young Luke and Kieran au where Sylus takes them out to the mall or something but because they’re like six they run off immediately, only to be found by non!mc reader. They decide to tag along with her and she just accepts her fate like “can I afford to raise a set of twins?” and sylus is freaking out trying to find them thinking someone’s taken them for ransom or to get to him but no there’s just some lady buying them lollipops and now the twins refuse to leave without her

EDIT: I wrote this!

To never part ways [💍]

[keypostos]

something short just bc. slight (like... very slight) suggestive language but like nothing too crazy.

caleb helping you with your physics homework because you're struggling so much, but you're barely paying attention because you're staring at his hands the whole time.

they're huge: they take up almost half of the paper. they're long and delicate: you knew they wouldn't break if you pulled on them, but they look so pristine.

as he slides a finger down the paper, gesturing to a problem you haven't attempted, your breath hitches. you imagine that finger sliding down your jaw, stopping just below your bottom lip, then tugging at it shortly later.

you bite down on your lip at the thought and blink a few times to snap out of this daze. it takes a sharp flick to the forehead from caleb to snap out of it.

"so, can you explain the force i used to flick you just now?" he raised an eyebrow with a teasing smirk.

you flushed—no doubt he caught you staring, "shut up, caleb."

he laughs, watching as you return back to the problems at hand. one of his hands rests on the table, pointing to problems and explaining solutions. the other, rests on his knee that's nervously bouncing up and down. his neck is completely flushed and he hopes that the dark lighting conceals the tomato shade of his ears.

when he spotted you staring at him, a hunger flushed through him like never before. you weren't even staring at his face, for god's sake. you were captivated by his hands, and caleb started to fantasize about all the ways he could please you with them.

he imagines his hands enveloping your face: they're placed on your cheeks as his thumbs travel up and down your cheekbones. he'd caress the under-eye bags you've been sporting lately (he'd chide you on it later), and trace them with such warmth that you'd want to place your hand on top of his to keep him there.

while laying down, his hands could move through your whole body. he'd start from the shoulders down to your arms, running his fingertips downwards to keep you on edge. when you'd tense up under him, he'd press you deeper into him, signaling for you to relax. he'd trace circles, rhombuses, hearts and all sorts of shapes over your stomach. he would make sure his hands trickle all over your back.

he dreams about touching you. he wants to run his thumb over your forehead when you have a stubborn pout on your face (like right now), or pull you across the table so you could sit on his lap while he teaches you. he wants to place his head on your shoulder (he knows it would fit perfectly) and whisper into your ear. he wants to see how he could rile you up by doing that.

caleb wants to wrap you up in his arms and never let you go. he could never let you leave. he wants you—needs you, even—but he knows that if he got a single taste of you, he would keep you by his side forever. it's dangerous—vulturous—how he feels about you.

so for now, he settles for watching you gulp as he looks up at you. you fiddle with the strings of your shorts while he continues explaining a problem to you, and you don't look up at him.

later, caleb reminds himself, one day.

[yois2aki]

nothing will convince me that CALEB and mc’s first kiss wasn’t when they were older—when feelings got too obvious to ignore. but if we’re being honest, that wasn’t technically the first.

there had to be a moment before that I SWEAR. maybe when they were just kids, caught up in something they didn’t fully understand. no one talked about it after, like an unspoken agreement, but the memory stuck—the summer afternoon under the oak tree, snacking on dried apples, playing dumb games, until they got a little too close, and then—

the sun filtered through the branches, casting dappled patterns on the grass where you lay, the warmth of the afternoon wrapping around you like a blanket. you popped a dried apple slice into your mouth, chewing thoughtfully as you stared at the sky. beside you, caleb, in his early teens, let out a satisfied sigh, arms folded behind his head.

“okay, my turn,” you said, rolling onto your side to face him. “if you could have any superpower, but it had to be something completely useless, what would it be?”

caleb smirked, eyes still on the clouds. “easy. the ability to instantly find lost socks. you have no idea how many i’ve lost.”

you snorted. “that’s not useless, that’s just sad.”

“hey, missing socks are a real problem.”

you laughed, lightly shoving his shoulder before flopping onto your back again. a comfortable silence settled between them, only broken by the occasional rustle of leaves and the distant chirping of birds. without thinking, you shifted closer, your arms nearly touching.

you didn’t know why, but you found yourself glancing at him more than usual. the way his hair fell over his forehead, the faintest freckles dusting his cheeks, the way his eyes seemed softer in the afternoon light. caleb turned his head slightly, catching your gaze. neither of you moved.

“what?” he asked, voice quieter than before.

you hesitated. “nothing,” a murmur, though the way your fingers fidgeted with the hem of your shirt said otherwise.

caleb studied you for a moment, his expression unreadable. then, without really thinking—without knowing why—he leaned in. it was barely anything, just a whisper of movement, but you mirrored it, and suddenly, your lips brushed together for the briefest second.

it was clumsy, unsure, so fast it could’ve been mistaken for an accident. but it wasn’t.

when both pulled apart, your eyes were wide, breaths slightly uneven. neither of you spoke.

caleb cleared his throat, sitting up abruptly. “uh—so, anyway,” he said, voice a little too casual, “your turn. useless superpower. go.”

you stared at him for a moment longer before slowly sitting up as well. “right. um. i’d want… the ability to always have the perfect comeback."

“so, you just want to be better at arguing?”

“basically.”

you both let out nervous laughs, acting as if nothing had changed, but the weight of the moment lingered between. you never spoke about it, not then, not ever. or maybe a feeew good years later. yet, on quiet nights when you were alone with your thoughts, you would both remember—how it felt, how your hearts raced, how something unspoken had settled between you that day.

obsessed with him tbh

SYLUS: tender moment

under the weather

WORD COUNT: 1K

SUMMARY: Sylus is always a call away. You help him and he helps you, even when he is under the weather.

TAG: fluff

AO3 sylus masterlist

You didn’t hesitate to call Sylus when you needed a favor. You never did. He was always there, always able to make things happen, a master of bending the world to his will with a single word. When his voice came through the phone, smooth, lazy, the way he always answered, you expected nothing more than the usual. “Come by,” he said, and you knew it would be straightforward, like it always was. Transactional, a favor exchanged for a favor, maybe with a touch of infuriating flirtation thrown in, just to remind you who was in control.

But as soon as you stepped into the heart of Onychinus’ infamous stronghold, you knew something was different.

The air was charged with an energy that didn’t sit right. The usual hum that filled these walls, the quiet but ever-present undercurrent of power, was muted. There was an absence, a heaviness to the space that made you pause before you even crossed the threshold. You could feel it, like the mansion itself was holding its breath. The silence was unsettling.

When Sylus appeared, the first thing you noticed was the way he stood. He didn’t move with his usual fluidity, the effortless grace that made him seem untouchable, like he was always five steps ahead of everyone else. No, now, there was something off in his stance. His posture, typically so perfect it was almost predatory, was a fraction looser, the sharpness in his gaze slightly dulled, the edge of his usual self-assurance missing. The contrast was subtle but unmistakable. Something was gnawing at him, something that lingered just beneath the surface.

Still, his voice came with its usual smoothness, though the amusement was a touch forced, as he leaned casually against the doorway. "You look like you’re here to collect a debt."

You tilted your head, eyes narrowing slightly as you took him in. "Just cashing in that favor," you replied, your tone measured, he could feel the change in the air, too. You weren’t the only one who noticed it.

He gestured for you to follow, turning on his heel and leading you deeper into the vast halls of his mansion. The silence was almost oppressive, and the way Sylus moved was different, more controlled, more deliberate, but there was a stiffness to it, a hesitation in his every step that didn’t belong. He was trying to hide it, to force the usual smoothness of his movements, but you could see through it. Something was pushing him, urging him forward, like he was bracing himself for something he didn’t want to face.

As you walked behind him, you couldn’t shake the feeling that he was shielding something, something dark, something he didn’t want you to see. He was so good at hiding what lay beneath, but this time, you sensed the cracks in his mask. The world didn’t bend to his will as easily tonight, and for the first time, Sylus seemed like he was fighting it, as if even he didn’t know what was waiting for him on the other side of whatever it was he was facing.

He sank onto the velvet couch in his lounge, exhaling slowly. "Before we get to that—there’s something you should know."

You crossed your arms, leaning against the doorframe with an air of quiet determination. "I’ll take it from here."

Sylus lifted a brow, the faintest flicker of a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. "That so?"

"You don’t have to handle everything," you said, the words sharp with a quiet insistence.

"I disagree." His voice was smooth as silk, but it carried an edge, resistance, the kind only he could wear so effortlessly, as if the world had bent to his will too many times to accept anyone else’s direction.

You narrowed your eyes, stepping into the room. "Sylus, you’re sick."

He stilled. Just for a moment, the carefully constructed mask of control cracked, revealing something you rarely saw: surprise. Genuine surprise. It was brief, fleeting, but it was there. For the first time, you had caught him off guard.

You sighed, the weight of everything settling on your shoulders. "I appreciate you wanting to help, but I’m not going to let you run yourself into the ground over this."

"I’m fine," he countered, but the words lacked their usual conviction, like the edges were fraying.

"No, you’re not," you shot back, your voice a little softer, but no less firm. You moved closer, your presence steady, unyielding. "You’ve done this for me before. It’s my turn."

He opened his mouth, as if to argue, but then he stopped himself. The usual sharpness in his eyes dulled, and for once, he didn’t fight you. Instead, he sank back against the couch, looking at you with something unreadable, something that you couldn’t quite place, but it wasn’t defiance.

"You’re serious," he murmured, the words heavy, almost reluctant.

"Completely."

A slow, almost reluctant smile tugged at his lips, but it didn’t quite reach his eyes. "Well, that’s infuriating."

"You’ll live," you said dryly, the words laced with affection.

"Hm," he mused, as if the possibility of his survival was something to be debated. "Debatable."

You rolled your eyes and, without a second thought, shoved an ice-cold glass of water into his hands. "Drink."

He chuckled, the sound low and dark, the way he always did when the world felt just a little too close. He raised the glass to his lips, taking a slow sip, as if savoring the moment. "I don’t think I’ve ever been taken care of like this."

"That’s a shame,"you watch him with the same quiet intensity you always did, knowing full well that he’d never let anyone do this for him. Not unless he needed it.

He studied you for a long, lingering moment, and then, almost imperceptibly, his expression softened. There was something there, something that hadn’t been there before, flickering just behind those unreadable eyes. "You really are impossible."

"And you’re impossible to deal with when you’re sick." You met his gaze without hesitation. "So lie down, and let me help."

For a long beat, he didn’t move. The room was heavy with something you don’t know how to name, but then, with a soft sigh that seemed to surrender to the moment, he finally reclined back, allowing his eyes to close, the fight leaving him up to you.

[cvntroach5000]

am i just imagining it or is sylus genuinely the only love interest who will do whatever you ask him to on the crane game

like. rafayel is pretty obvious with how he sometimes insists to go first. and once he gets his hands on the machine, he can be difficult to convince to switch. zayne, on the contrary, wants nothing to do with the crane game and might refuse you if you ask him to take over. xavier complains but lets you choose who goes first every time, but i do believe ive had a case where he got so into it he didnt want to switch.
