Syx feels English (and human language in general) is inadequate to properly express his love for those dearest to him. He knows very few words of his birth language, but the words of love his parents spoke to him in those first 8 days are the most precious thing he has from them beyond Minion and the binkey. He has repeated those loving words that he equates with true love to two people so far. Wayne and Anna. The fact that he and Wayne broke up after that still leaves him feeling gutted some days.
He doesn’t actually really know what the words mean. He knows the emotion, but his understanding of the language is just that a baby would have. He can mimic those phrases and knows the emotions behind them, but he could never translate them. Yet even though his beloved will understand the words even less than him, those are still his truest words to say “I love you.”
Even though Syx knows they should get heated up, Syx will eat pop tarts cold right out of the box when Minion and Anna are out of the Lair. He never has any desire to put effort into food. He did try making a setting for his de-gun just to cook things. It was a variant of de-stroy. Minion came home to a horrible mess and smeared and burnt food stuff on the ceiling. Syx still refuses to talk about it and destroyed all video recordings of the Lair that day.
Syx knows he very likely has PTSD from the things he’s been through, his phobias becoming so severe at times, his fear causing him to shut down or fly into a rage… he’s been thinking more and more that maybe a therapist isn’t really as ridiculous of an idea as he’s always assumed. He’s called one several times now but always hung up when the line was picked up. His last experience with a psychologist hadn’t been pleasant.
I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.
{{ goooood question…. so I don’t know the different lines well enough to be super specific. I don’t follow the actual comics much myself? But Megs would be far more into them than I was as a teen. I don’t think as an adult they have much time to keep up with them as much anymore except a few main favs. They’d also got through times of being horrifically offended at story choices and dropping books entirely. On that note, this will be sort of generic but if anyone as specifics or suggestions I would love to hear them 😀 }}
Dr. Doom centric Fantastic 4 and Doom solo lines
Martian Manhunter
Black Panther
Harley Quinn and Ivy stories
The Star Trec crossover comics
Super Man (wtf Minion!? They stole our origin! and shhh, I’m getting ideas)
The X-Men but only sometimes, likes a lot of the side characters more
Saga
Squirrel Girl (which fueled ideas for electric sheep to overwhelm Metro Man)
Probably a lot of things I can’t think of right now… they like things with robots, and good vs evil, and complicated villains, and villains that get to win sometimes, but they like heroes too.
“Syx!? Where tha hell ya at?” She called out as she walked into the man’s lair, pale blue eyes scanning the area around her.. though what she didn’t know, was the man was preparing to go out for a date. And seeing him in a suit? Yeah that had her pausing immediately, eyes narrowing and her lips parting a bit further in surprise. “…Oh … there… there you are..” She trailed off, her eyes trailing down and up his body before settling on his eyes. “Ya know.. that looks better on ya than that exaggerated villain suit shit ya wear.. ya look good. Say hi to tha missus,” She urged, winking with a small, coy smile before turning to leave again… because if she stayed? Well he wouldn’t be in that suit for much longer
