When You Say That You Wish Lyney Were More Of An Insane Villain Sometimes, Wdym 🤔

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- 😓
