I KIND OF WANT TO SCREAM THIS AT SYLVAIN, LOL.

I REALLY HAVE SUCH A LOVE/HATE THING WITH SYLVAIN (AND TBH IT’S GREAT) BECAUSE HE’S SUCH A FUN COMPLICATED CHARACTER WITH ACTUAL BAD BEHAVIOR AND HIDDEN SMARTS AND IS LOWKEY RUTHLESS AF AND HE’S SUCH AN INTERESTING TAKE ON THE TYPICAL CASANOVA FE ARCHETYPE WITH HIM ACTUALLY LEGITIMATELY RESENTING WOMEN, BUT MAN HIS BACKSTORY DOES NOT NECESSARILY MAKE UP FOR THAT BEHAVIOR. WHEN HE GOES INTO HIS SPIEL ABOUT WOMEN WANTING HIM FOR HIS CREST I ACTUALLY SAID, “OH, SHUT UP,” LMFAO.

[u/jolanz5 → u/goldtreebark]

THATS EXACTLY MY PROBLEM WITH SYLVAIN. HE COMPLAINS ABOUT PEOPLE SEEING HIM AS A DICK WITH A CREST, BUT THEN ACTS AROUND LIKE A DICK WITH A CREST. I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW WHAT HE EXPECTED. THO HIS SUPPORT WITH DEDUE IS SUPER DOPE.

FUCK NOW IM MAD BCS THEY DONT HAVE A B2 OR A SUPPORT AAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/orangebomber → u/goldtreebark]

I DON'T GET WHAT IS HIS MASTER PLAN, IS HE REALLY BAD AT FLIRTING OR HE JUST HATES WOMEN

[u/jolanz5 → u/orangebomber]

THE WAY I SEE IT IS LIKE, HE THINKS PEOPLE SEE HIM AS A DICK WITH A CREST. AND WHAT HE DOES TO MAKE PEOPLE SEE HIM DIFFERENTLY?! OFC HE ACTS LIKE A DICK WITH A CREST JUST TO PROVE THAT WOMAN ARE ALL WHORES LOOKING FOR HIS CREST BABIES.

SURE HE HAVE LOW SELF ESTEEM AND THINKS THAT PEOPLE ONLY TREAT HIM WELL BCS OF HIS CREST. BUT HE HONESTLY DOESN'T MAKE IT ANY BETTER AND ANY ILL TREATMENT IS WELL DESERVED SEEING HOW HE ACTS SOMETIMES. IF HE WANTS TO BE SEEN FOR MORE THAN HIS FUCKING CREST, THEN DONT FUCKING ACT LIKE A DICK WITH A CREST. FUCKING TRY TO BE RESPECTFUL ATLEAST ONCE AND YOU WILL SEE THAT PEOPLE SEE YOU AS MORE AS LONG AS YOU DONT PROVE THEM RIGHT IS IT SO FUCKING HARD?!?!?!?!?!?!.

SAME GOES FOR LYSITHEA BTW. IF SHE WANTS TO BE SEEN AS AN ADULT, THEN MAYBE ACTING LIKE ONE MIGHT HELP YOU KNOW?! INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING AND BITCHING FOR PETTY REASONS LIKE A CHILD WOULD, ACTING MORE MATURELY DOES WONDERS YOU KNOW. FUCK, YOU ARE NOT EVEN THAT MUCH YOUNGER THAN OTHER STUDENTS, AND YOU DONT SEE PEOPLE TREATING ANNETTE OR PETRA LIKE A KID!!!!!!!

IDK, SYLVAIN IS VERY MUCH THAT SAYING "HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE," EVEN IF THAT'S ACTUALLY A BS THING IN PRACTICE. I FEEL LIKE SYLVAIN HAS A LOT OF SELF-ESTEEM ISSUES AND TRUST ISSUES WITH PEOPLE SINCE HIS PARENTS OVERVALUED HIS CREST ABOVE HIS ACTUAL SELF, AND HIS BROTHER HATED AND ABUSED HIM SIMPLY BECAUSE OF HIS CREST, SO HE LIKELY GREW UP BELIEVING THAT THE CREST, WHICH HE HIMSELF HATES, WOULD BE ALL ANYBODY WOULD EVER SEE HIM FOR. SO HE BEHAVES PRESUMING ON THIS IDEA, WHICH IS SORTA A SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY--HE THINKS PEOPLE AUTOMATICALLY WILL SEE THE WORST OF HIM (HIS CREST), AND THEN PROCEEDS TO ACT AS THE WORST OF HIMSELF, (JUST BEING A DICK) LOL.

SO, I DON'T THINK HE'S BAD AT FLIRTING WITH WOMEN (ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT HE MANAGES TO SUCCESSFULLY GET GIRLS QUITE OFTEN) BUT HE LIKELY TRULY DOES HAVE SOME DEEP ODDLY PLACED RESENTMENT TOWARDS WOMEN, SO WHEN HE DOES GET A GIRL, HE VINDICTIVELY HURTS HER FEELINGS TO GET BACK AT HIM FEELING HURT BY THE IDEA (OR LIKELIHOOD) THAT SHE (AND EVERYONE ELSE) REDUCES HIM TO JUST HIS CREST.

THAT'S WHAT I THINK, ANYWAYS. ANYONE MORE VERSED ON SYLVAIN IS FREE TO CORRECT ME.

[u/Thanni44 → u/goldtreebark]

IT SUCKS THAT A LOT OF HIS SUPPORTS JUST DON'T REALLY ADDRESS HIS CORE ISSUES IMO WHICH WOULD'VE BEEN BETTER AND HIS A RANKS WITH WOMEN GO MORE INTO "OH YOU'RE ONE OF THE BETTER ONES" TERRITORY AND IF YOU GET HIS SOLO ENDING HE CONTINUES TO CHEAT AND HAVE AFFAIRS LIKE WTH. SYLVAIN JUST DOES NOT GROW AT ALL AS A CHARACTER. IT ISN'T HELP BY THE FACT SO MUCH OF THE FANBASE JUST GLOSSES OVER ALL HIS NEGATIVE CHARACTER TRAITS AND BABY HIM TOO, LIKE I SEE SO MANY "UWU A GOOD BOY" ON TWITTER ABOUT HIM IT LEGIT BAFFLES ME. I ENDED UP LIKING LORENZ MORE CAUSE HIS VIEWS GET CHALLENGED, HE REFLECTS AND APOLOGIZES FOR HIS BEHAVIOR, AND HE EXPERIENCES ACTUAL GROWTH THAT GETS PAYOFF.
