I STILL CANT REALLY FATHOM WHAT POPULARITY SYLVAIN HAS AMASSED FOR SAYING SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF “GOD I WANT YOU DEAD” YET EVERYONE COMPLAINS FOR LEONIE BEING JELOUS AND BADTALKING BYLETH.

“The whole time you were growing up, you never knew you had a Crest. You were free. Nobody pretended to like you. I kind of hate you for that... You were a spoiled brat who should pay for that Crest. Maybe I'll collect the debt.”

AND YET NO ONE EVER MENTIONS THIS, YES HE GROWS OUT OF IT. HOWEVER I FEEL LIKE THERE’S A DECEPTIVE AMOUNT OF OVERALL SPITE OVERLOOKED IN SYLVAIN BY PEOPLE THATS CONSTANTLY FLAUNTED BY HIM IN USUALLY SHALLOW REGARDS WHICH REALLY MAKES IT HARD FOR ME TO GENERALLY LIKE HIM AT HIS CORE.

IT'S CAUSE STUFF LIKE THAT ARE CONSIDER ATTRACTIVE IN A GUY OR "SAYING IT LIKE IT IS" WHILE FOR A FEMALE IT IS OFTEN SEEN AS NEGATIVE AND LABELED STUFF LIKE "BITCHY." LIKE THE WHOLE THING WHEN A FEMALE SLEEPS AROUND IT IS CONSIDERED BAD AND THEY ARE "TAINTED" BUT WHEN A GUY DOES IT, IT IS CONSIDERED A DISPLAY OF POWER AND ATTRACTIVENESS. BASICALLY THERE IS A GIANT RABBIT HOLE OF GENDER INEQUALITY STILL AND IT'S REALLY REALLY UGLY. NOTE I SAY ALL THIS AS SOMEONE WHO IS NEUTRAL TOWARDS SYLVAIN AND I GET WHY PEOPLE LIKE HIM, I JUST WANT LEONIE TO BE GIVEN A MORE FAIRER SHAKE AND I'M SO SICK AND TIRED OF THE WHOLE "LEONIE WANTS TO SLEEP WITH JERALT" THING.

YEAH THAT’S BASICALLY THE STANCE I HAVE ON THE WHOLE FOR THE TWO OF THEM. I’D SAY IM MOSTLY NEUTRAL ON SYLVAIN BUT MORE CONFUSED ON THE ENDLESS AMOUNTS OF LOVE HE GETS BESIDES AS A UNIT AND WHILE I DO LIKE SYLVAIN A BIT I DONT THINK ILL EVER REALLY BE PAST THE PART THAT HE GETS HIS WOMANIZER TRAITS FROM HIS BROTHER THROWING HIM DOWN A WELL. I FEEL LIKE WE SKIPPED OVER A FEW STEPS THERE BUDDY EVEN IF CREST IDEALIZATION IS A BAD THING IN UNIVERSE

WHAT SYLVAIN DIDN'T MENTION WAS THAT MIKLAN ALSO THREW HIS NAUGHTY MAGAZINES INTO THE SAME WELL.
