May The Fourth Be With You

This will be slightly different from normal Sylum Posts. To be honest May snuck up on me and I wasn’t prepared for May the 4th Be With You. *hangs head in shame*

A couple of months ago I participated in Commander Cody Appreciation Week on Tumblr. These really aren’t Sylum related, but it’s me so it could be *grins*. One snippet is from the Dragon General storyline. Four Snippets are simply set inside ‘The Clone Wars’. One is a concept that’s going around of Cody … hopefully appearing in the new Obi-Wan Series or Bad Batch – as a Purge Trooper, if don’t know what that is – ask I’ll totally go all Star Wars geek on you. And one is an AU idea that is running around.

Global Movie Day – Answer

So remember a while back it was Global Movie Day, and I asked if anyone could guess how many movies were represented in Sylum.

The answer: 240 … now this is likely +/- at least 10.  I also counted Franchise’s as 1, it was an interesting project!

The person who came closest was Paula.  You’ll get an email for a pairing to add my very growing list.

National Panda Day

Well not this one!  Though he could teach you some Kung Fu!


These guys!  The adorable fluffy not so little guys!

Panda bear or simply the panda, is a bear native to South Central China.  It is characterised by large, black patches around its eyes, over the ears, and across its round body. The name “giant panda” is sometimes used to distinguish it from the red panda, a neighboring musteloid. Though it belongs to the order Carnivora, the giant panda is a folivore, with bamboo shoots and leaves making up more than 99% of its diet.  Giant pandas in the wild will occasionally eat other grasses, wild tubers, or even meat in the form of birds, rodents, or carrion. In captivity, they may receive honey, eggs, fish, yams, shrub leaves, oranges, or bananas along with specially prepared food.

Oreo Cooke Day

OREO COOKIES!!!

*now where’s the glass of milk*

Sylum Snippet!


He folded the newspaper down, glanced at the plate and glass set in front of him.

Oreos and a glass of milk.

Every alarm bell in his head went off, something was wrong.  He folded the paper set it on the table next to the plate, folded his hands on the table, and then looked over at his grandmother.   The woman was a Saint, no really … a Saint, she always was damn good at making sure to get her way.   Stubborn as hell, which obviously runs in the family, considering his own damn stubborn streak.

“Avó.”

“Peter dear.”

He made the sign of the cross.  “Holy Mother come to my aid.”

She rolled her eyes, but laughed lightly.  “You are to suspicious my dear Peter.”

“It’s saved me many times.”  He gave her a pointed look.  “You brought me milk and cookies.  Obviously, what you have to tell me is sudden, or it would be Pastal de nata, and I know the cook is off today.”

“You love Oreos and I can’t just spoil my favorite grandson?”  She reached over and took a cookie and dipped it into the milk.

“Don’t make me call Wenceslaus.”  Peter grabbed his own cookie, pulled it apart and licked the creamy filling.  “Just tell me.”

“Aguilar called,” she paused for a moment then took a deep breath.  “Jamie is helping a kid, who according to all his teachers will be an Olympic Fencer.”

Peter had learned patience over the past few centuries, but so far he had no idea what this had to do with him.

“His name is Marcus, and he’s a spitting image of you when you were an annoying teenager…”

“I have a descendant?”  He stared at Elizabeth in shock.  “Tell me more … “
