4.1 Spoilers Ahead

4.1 Spoilers ahead 💜

I was so surprised to see Lyney- in prison that I screamed at 12 AM 💀

At the same time l I was pissed because BRO ALL OF THAT WORK FOR YOU TO SHOW UP HERE ANYWAYS- I was mad a him for a solid minute.

Also, this poor kid. He's so stressed right now. I knew he had anxiety but Jesus dude.

I love this man....

sailor scara !

I can't stop thinking about the fact that Lyney has so much cannon angst and treads to write more and we just do nothing about it. He canonically has had an identity crisis, an anxiety attack, and show cased his codependent relationship with his sister and we do nothing with it.

I have consumed every bit of Lyney angst I could find and now I'm suffering.

This is a cry for help

I don't wanna have to write my own 😭

No because how is Hoyoverse gonna make twins that have no synergy.

Like- we didn't need their kits to be paired together, but the fact that they really shouldn't be used on the same team? Unforgivable.

It coulda been something so general like boosting a stat that Lyney uses or something like that. Nope! Absolutely nothing.

Aether and Lumine even have this cute little animation easter egg where they help each other's blind spots. I love it so much.

Lyney and Lynette have matching names, look similar, and then have totally different kits.

It makes me so sad. They're like twins in looks and lore but not in kits.

If you look at most of the siblings, they at least somewhat work together. Even Kaveh and Alhaitham are more connected and they're just roommates.

So you're telling me the twins who spend every moment they can together (Because Lyney is a codependent weenie at heart) don't have complimenting kits?

It annoys me even more because things like that can be such a good story telling device. Things like abilities and kits can to easily help establish the relationships between people outside of their lore. It was a major missed opportunity to establish just how close the twins are.

I'ma use them on the same team along with the rest of the House of Hearth but dang the lack of synergy is amazing.

Edit: So I figured out how to change text color :D

So I was combing though the Twins voicelines and story again because they're one my mind 24/7 and I've noticed some things. So now I have part of an analyst. This is actually a series of headcannons too because of I don't share my mind will explode.

1. Lyney only answers your questions half the time.

When looking through the interactions and voicelines, I noticed that for certain questions he won't answer and instead will just distract the Traveler or answers it in a roundabout way. I guess it's because he doesn't want you to know about it or it makes him uncomfortable to talk about. He doesn't really lie, but he doesn't answer either. He doesn't like to give information about himself unless absolutely necessary.

2. Lyney has a tendency to say some weird things.

Lyney says nothing about it, but Lynette has an idle line about it. What type of strange is unknown, but Lynette is worried about what he says. It also seems to be a pretty normal occurrence.

3. Lyney's chattiness is a front.

This one is actually talked about by both the twins. Lynette says that he's just more quiet when they're alone and Lyney says that he only uses "verbal" magic to get closer to other people. I have more to say about this but I'll wait until my headcannons.

4. Lyney isn't his happy or cheery as he initially seems.

This one is confirmed in his voicelines and story quest. He explicitly says that he believes Traveler would feel sorry for him if they knew his real personality. Then at the end of his story quest when you talk to him. He's a lot more subdued than he had been for most of the quest. He also says some questionable things and it leads to my next point.

5. Lyney doesn't really have friends.

He actually admits this himself at the end of his story quest with the empty auditorium analogy. He comments how the way he acts only pushes people away and after Cesar he doesn't really have anyone beyond family left.

6. Lyney hates how he lies.

In his character story quest and his actual Character story in part 4, he mentions how much is lying bothers him. It's practically effortless but by this point it comes so easy that it gives him an identity crisis. Lyney has lied so much and played the part so often, he isn't sure what his actual personality is anymore.

Note: I realized I have way more to say than I anticipated so now this is gonna be a series of posts.

Lyney Headcannons

Courtroom Headcannons

I love how instead of actually watching all of TYBW arc, I just watch the Hitsugaya scenes. Like did I skip through episode 22 for his 2 seconds of screen time? Yes. Yes I did.

Have I seen episode 23 four times? Yes.

Are my friends incredibly tired of hearing about Toshiro? Maybe.

I care?

NOPE! BACK ON MY BS BBY!
