Anyway. Here are my familial and platonic f/os fave Sanrio character hcs

💛Sam- I'm pretty sure he cannonically has a bunch of Hello Kitty stuff. Clearly she reigns supreme

💛Amai- Pompompurin or Keroppi. He gives Pompompurin vibes but he loves frogs

💛Luce- doesn't know the whole Sanrio universe, but he really likes Hello Kitty.

💛Dia- this man would fist fight someone over My Melody and I will die on this hill. She's friendly and sunny and he idolizes her maybe just a little

💚Dante- pretends like he's not into any of it. Loves Pompompurin and Pochacco equally.

💚Cyrus- either Gudetama or Little Twin Stars, I'm not sure

Will fully and honestly admit that

1. I think Team Sweet has a few too many players, mostly considering when I do get a tricolor match it's all Team Sweet. XD XD

And

2. Undertow Spillway is a kind of weird map to play tricolor on, but overall I think it's pretty fun!!

Also here's a very pretty picture I got of my last match. 🧡💚💜

I am too sick to gaf about judging, this is my new platonic f/o and I love him /p

💚[Spillways]

He's such an asshole 💚jesksks he's old friends with Sam and is both horrified and intrigued by how a siren(me) has just been allowed to run loose like this LOL. We meet bc a couple students steal his field journal and use a spell that is supposed to summon Peisinoe (my s/i's ancestor/past life/thing), and instead, I appear. So he's more like an honorary familial(hence the Ghost song tag).

#💚[Spillways]

[goblinselfshippr]

"Caz, if he's an asshole why do you like him?"

BC HE WOULDN'T BE ONE TO ME. Not because I am particularly special or different, but because I am not a student. My s/i is a myth creature that just wants to go home, and he relates too hard + He has a soft spot for mythical creatures. He wouldn't put up with any BS, but I don't think he would be rude to her without being provoked.

Unfortunately, her favorite pastime is provoking him

#goblinrambles #💚[spillways]

[goblinselfshippr]

Wait bc of that post, now I wanna make my s/i have a whole thing where she’s pissed bc she is a siren+just like “you mean to tell me that I have to wake up and do the dishes every day BECAUSE SOME ASSHOLE DREAMED MY ANCESTORS INTO EXISTENCE? AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY TAXES?!”

Dreamed about a school au with Cyrus and Mal where all three of us are in r.avenwod together 🥹 it was very cute.

Everyone was like "ew he's so weird" and Im like "yeah well I like him!! So fuck you!! Thats my friend!!"

#💚[Spillways]

[goblinselfshippr]

How have I never considered that Cyrus would fucking LOATH J.afar???

I'm gonna assume J.afar is self-taught, and Cyrus is just like "you're stance is horrendous. I have no idea how you've managed to cast anything"

But the funny part is that Cyrus is just being a BITCH because he can fhdjsjak

#❤️[Out of Body] #💚[Spillways]

[goblinselfshippr]

I think I've said it before BUT

Cyrus 1000% kins Susie from Summer Camp Island. She is his favorite character, any time there is an ep where she is prominently featured he perks up.

He would die of embarrassment if anyone knew he watched childrens cartoons

I like to think the Golfcart Crew is banned from the Myth school.

Like he will allow us in one at a time, or just me+Amai, but all three, and he starts casting Earthquake 🤣

"OUT, THE LOT OF YOU."

[goblinselfshippr]

Golfcart Crew drives Cyrus up a fucking wall because we're all a bunch of goofy fucks.

His least favorite bit that we do is heckle each other about doing something we're already doing. I'll explain:

Me- "I think I'm gonna go get a glass of water"

Dante- "Why dont you go get a glass of water?"

Me (literally on my way to the kitchen)- "Nah, actually, I think I'll go get a glass of water."

Amaimon (poking his head in to join the bit)- "Have you thought about getting a glass of water?"

Me (pretending to be irritated)- "You know what? Fck this, I'm gonna go get a glass of water."

- sounds of Cyrus banging his head against the wall -

#this is my type of humor sorry yall #🛴[golfcart crew] #💚[Spillways]

[goblinselfshippr]

Sometimes Cyrus is just blunt, but sometimes you can tell his sense of humor is just deadpanning the most ridiculous bullshit. Which GOD same, idc if no one else gets my humor, it's funny TO ME. I am my own audience. This man is a Pisces. (Not true, I'd HC him and Mal as Libra or Scorpio because Citrine is Cyrus' gem and also the November birthstone. Probably more Scorpio bc they are both very passionate/loyal/ambitious individuals)

Like I absolutely GET this guy. Everyone else thinks he's a rat bastard because he is to people who aren't in the Myth school. My Pyromancer gets yelled at on the daily by Cyrus (and scares the shit out of me every time because SIR why are you hollerin' at me?), but my Conjurer gets "go here, do this. I know its hard and you are very stupid, but I need you to do it, okay?" Like he's not nice, but he's definitely less of a jerk. He makes lil references and jokey jokes, he just says goofy shit with a straight face, so people think he's a dumb jerk. He just lacks social skills, I SWEAR.

2/2 of me projecting onto a game and character that really isnt that deep (it is to ME) i think this is way longer than the first sorry. (Part 1 here)

PS- if it isn't clear at this point I'm saying that wizard training causes c-ptsd because that cannot be good for your health. So "Delusion" being a prerequisite to Conjuring (I have no idea if this is a "correct" term, I personally take no offense to it, but lmk if you do, I guess). Some evidence: you can summon minions to help fight with you if you choose- which was the main reason I kept Myth when I took the personality quiz instead of switching to Ice (previously my fave school). Now these minions are common enemies in the game like haunted dolls, trolls, and Cyclops (does that have a plural?? Idk) with one main difference: the ones you summon look different from the actual enemies. Most notable is that the minions aren't as big as the actual enemies. There are slight color differences too, but their height is way more noticeable. Cyclops are usually like 2 players tall, but Cyclops Minions are maybe 1.3 players tall.

And yeah yeah yeah its to differentiate between the spells. Shut up. We are choosing to ignore reality. ANYWAY.

Conjuration is described as "where shadowy forms of thought become real" and "when imagination becomes too fanciful and whimsical these dreams take on life and run loose." SO LIKE. All the Myth bosses and allies must've been somebody's imaginary friends at one time. It would explain why there are bosses or characters with familiar names but don't quite fit their tales- for example, Apollo is a rooster who fucks your shit UP.

Yes I swear we are coming back around to Cyrus, I can't control how my brain categorizes things. There's not a lot said about his family other than they aren't really there. He's left alone from presumably a young age because his father is some big name battlemage, there's zero mention of a mother figure, and his brother would rather play in a graveyard (also convinced Cyrus was afraid of his own shadow as a kid bc I wouldn't put it past Mal to actually summon a demon under his bed). He hides in his room and either paints his daydreams or reads fantasy novels.

Omg he just like me fr except instead of painting I write fanfic that no one ever reads. It’s for my eyes only

From my own experience, you get lonely and bored, and you want friends, but never learn. And his father doesn't sound like the most supportive guy in the world- he seems kind of salty that neither of his kids want to practice Pyromancy like him. So poor Cy was probably just dismissed and ignored and had to go back to his sanctuary.

Cyrus doesn't actually become interested in any sort of spell casting until he's like 18-19, and Mal gets his ass kicked by a Conjurer. Bro really said "damn I can make my daydreams fight for me?" And just did that for the rest of his life, LOL. Wish that were me.

Cyrus is (admittedly) not the best teacher. Like, yeah, he's a dick but most people can think of at least one teacher in their life that everyone called an asshole that they eventually grew to appreciate even if it wasn't personally true. Cyrus, on the other hand, straight up begs you to leave him alone (same). Like the only time he speaks to you is when you irritate him enough or he suddenly remembers you exist. And I'm pretty sure at one point he even tells you he forgot you were in his class. -1000/10 teacher. Problematic fave. I would either hate him or only like him because he leaves me the hell alone. So what is he doing if not dutifully teaching his students?

According to his about page, enjoying the quiet or researching. Doubt. But then, daydreaming until you summon something could likely count as research for Myth. So yeah I think the reason why he's a massive douchebag is because he found a way to profit off his maladaptive daydreaming, and the only downside is he has to tell a couple of kids to scram every now and then. I guess I could have just lead with that. Rip.

Not me wanting to project my mental illnesses onto Cyrus - well, sort of any of the cannon Myth specialists. I don't think there's anything horrible in here except maybe the length+ vague discussion of trauma/mental illness (1/2 bc this got longer than I thought lol)

Because a lot of the equipment for Myth class are called "[item] of delusion" (like I have an item called "Sandals of Delusion" that I literally only have for comedic purposes). There's also a spell you learn at lvl 40 called "Delusion" where you literally just pretend hard enough that their shields aren't existant + then hit enemy for full damage.

I mean, by level 40, the player character has seen some crazy stuff. Like to us, it's a mediocre mmo with the graphics from the og Tombraider, but the PC has had to save multiple OLDER students from certain doom, battle at LEAST two supervillians, fought who knows how many undead, and is quickly coming to the realization that they're going to have to kill their teacher's brother (ily Mal, but I cannot stop cannon /p). Among various other things at the age of like ten. Maybe 12. We never get confirmation other than the pc being called a child.

Ok but what does this have to do with Cyrus? I'm glad you asked. There's sort of a throwaway line in his introduction video where he couldn't stand reality or something + preferred to hide in his room. He wasn't really good at socializing and his brother was more interested in impressing their neglectful father (HC) practicing necromancy.

Here's where the projection comes in lol. I kind of wonder if the creatures that fall under the Myth category only exist because Conjurers (people who practice Myth) struggle with maladaptive daydreaming, and their conjuring is an expression/manifestation of that. Not a lot of people choose Myth- now IRL, it's because most players prefer min-maxing or hate Cyrus or both. But in game it could be because it's an art that you need to be at least somewhat disconnected from reality to be able to use. Cyrus even admits not many people have the ability to get very far in the craft (even tho some of that is his fucking fault lol asshole /affectionate)

Part 2/2
