This is just a short story of Future Freminet and Future Lyney

Threads are now scattered on the ground as i weave them into a new tapestry

In the lonesome night a match flickers with sparks before it's gently placed on some candles lighting a picture of the man

That no longer in this world

"Lynette has returned to her usual duties" a man spoke his voice gentle like the falling snow

"She really has made an improvement" the man spoke as he turned away from the picture as if the man didn't want the picture to his newly formed scar

"Finally got the time to shave" he chuckled but there was no joy in his voice

The man felt silent as he looked in the familiar office hall which looked more like a dumpster than an office to be honest

The silence hung in the air like a thread until the man finally cut it with a simple word

"I miss you, Lyney"

The man slipped on the floor in the exhaustion

"I am... so tired" he mumbled as he buried his face in his hair

"Your cruel or perhaps i am just too weak but we would have the chance to argue about that if..."

"You weren't dead"

Another pause as if there was another thread needed to be cut

"Hmph I wish we could" his voice cracked out

The second thread got cut

"But now" he stood up before continuing "i am the head of the house" he looked back at the old picture of Lyney and this time Freminet's new scar, his eye patch was very visible "and i have to say i don't know what to do"

He took some steps now pacing around the picture as he voiced his thoughts "i wasn't made a successor i just became one because if i didn't who would? Lynette? She was already grieving so much i couldn't let her go through something so challenging. Other children? No way they don't have a vision like i do none of them are strong enough to be one and that's when i thought"

He stopped now looking at the picture "what's the point of having a successor? I am aware not every child is not capable of leading but..."

"Just by us having one heir leaves us vulnerable to attack" he whispered his hands folding close to his chest

"Do you think if i became a little cruel..."

"And strings these children fates"

"To then Measure the lengths of their strings with my cold calculated eye"

"And cut those same strings to bind them to their fate like their part of the dead like you"

"Would my children live?"

The voice of a "Father" echoed from the numb man

"Tell me" the sign of the final string snapping was clear as another voice made it through the deathly silence

"If I help these children, teach them the things that they are good at, hone their skills even if they will forever be traumatized will i at least get to see them survive the storm to see a brighter day?" "Father" voice echoed through

But only his voice echoed through

Then

Came a sigh

"Right... You're not here to speak to me" he huffed

"Then there is no one to stop me"

"I'll be these children Fate that will give them a fair verdict" his words not a promise but a fact for that is what he'll make of this punishment

A memory now frozen in time

It was the middle of the day with Freminet sitting in the garden writing some papers when a curious girl approached him "wait if you became the head then... is there a chance that one of us going to be heir too" the girl spoke with an innocent wonder

"You will" he responded plainly as his focus on the papers rather than the little girl

"How?" the girl spoke with determination which finally caught Freminet's attention now facing the girl he spoke out a simple word

"Outsmart me"

"EHH! No way that's impossible" the girl protested

"Your "Grandfather" did it just fine" he replied leaning into his chair while sipping some tea

"Mmh but i am not some... demon thingy" she tried to make an argument

"Neither am I"

"Your point?"

The girl became quiet with embarrassment

"Run along" he dismissed her

The girl left without question leaving with clear embarrassment

"The same boring answer" he spoke with a scoff

"I never said you had to outsmart me Alone"

To the women in the funeral home who asked me if her daughter was in heaven because I was so White she thought I was a ghost

Thank you 

I wanna learn Japanese properly so bad but I can’t read😭😭 All I have is the duo owl and he’s dead

I just going to put this here

Um... hay guys can I have a turn on the gender?

When all you did was draw and eat Cheetos all day

when you say that you wish lyney were more of an insane villain sometimes, wdym 🤔

OKAY OKAY OKAY so idk if you are aware but before Fontaine came out, his trial was leaked ( Specifically the comic of that showed him being evil like Furina tried to paint him out to be ). That on top of the marionette Lynette theory made many speculate that Lyney was going to be insane and that Lynette would be dead. ( One theory basically gave a whole backstory to where Lynette died tragically on a Fatui mission when they were younger and Lyney, unable to cope with his sister's death, either 1) took her dead body and made it into a puppet or 2) made a puppet replica of his sister. Either way he'd be controlling her and stuff which would explain her lifeless expression )

While I love that whole theory, I always adore the idea of Father Lyney where he, though doesn't face trauma like Arlecchino does or is necessarily evil, has to follow the Fatui's orders which would make him appear so and us, the Traveler, are basically back to square 2 with him where we felt betrayed and upset at him for being affiliated with such an awful organization.

Like, don't get me wrong, I like our Lyney but I wouldn't have minded it AT ALL if he resembled more of Wanderer and his story where he actually did have an evil phase and, through strife and probably an ass whooping, became a better person. ( Not necessarily good, but a better person.

This is sad as hell, but I also love it when people dive more into Lyney's depression because I feel as though not many talk about it ( which makes sense if you don't read up about it ) Like homeboy literally tried to off himself at some point??? Legit grew so desperate to be put on the same missions as his sister when he was younger that he tried to get a delusion that literally kills your body and can give you a slow, painful death like I find that so insane.

Gosh I love this man. The yearning is getting worse by the day I fear- 😓

Thinking about all the things Martin says to the HOK. HOK may not be the most important person in the grand scheme of things and anyone could have done their job, but Martin cares about them, he loves them. He shows that in the way he speaks to them and he doesn't deminish the important things they have done. They were an important part of his life and story. They may not be remembered by the world but he will always remember them.
