EVERYONE SHUT UP IT'S A KYLEC POST FOUND IN THE GODDAMN WILD!!!!
I saw this on YouTube and immediately scrambled to Tumblr. I can't believe Kylec is the reason I've crawled out of my grave and pulled me back into YHS AGAIN.
Stupidly, stubbornly, heartbreakingly loyal.
He’s the kind of person who runs toward danger—toward disaster, toward whatever impossible thing needs to be done—because it’s not in him to sit still while people he loves are hurting. He’s afraid, sure. But he moves anyway. He does it scared. That’s the core of him. That’s the shape of his love. (Okay, fine, except for the unrequited love thing with Gold. But even then, he just went about it differently.)
Point is: Kyran doesn’t usually run. He’s always asking, “What can I do?” or “How do I fix this?” or “Where do I start?”
Problem? Solution. Repeat. That’s him.
Now, this one’s a bit of a reach, but in S1 he (probably) saved Gold from the falling anvils.It was heavily implied he was the knight—never outright confirmed, but if you squint and read between the lines, it tracks. (I think it'd be neater if he wasn't the knight but sure.)
Also, still a little bit salty about the whole difference in tone of S1 and S2 (which deserves it's own post ngl). Kyran was done dirty and dumbed down to comedic relief and I will die on this hill. He used to be funny in this awkward, nervous, “please stop talking” way that made my teeth hurt a little. In S2 he just felt a bit off. Maybe you could call it character development—like he’s finally comfortable enough around Gold and Funneh. Nevermind. Weird tangent.
Funneh, meanwhile, is all about the next shiny distraction. (Love that for her.) She has a habit of running—from consequences, from circumstances, from grief and horror. When things get too real™, she’s already halfway to a new plan. That’s just who she is. And I love her for it, along with her impulsive tendencies and inclination to choose all the wrong decisions.
So yeah—if Alec did something awful, it wouldn't be completely off the mark to say Funneh would run. Not because she doesn’t care, but because caring too much makes her shut down. The truth would feel too heavy, and she’d rather pretend it isn’t real.
Kyran would run. Not away—toward Alec. With open arms and misplaced hope.
Because Kyran has this strong sense of justice. A little bit flawed, sure. He steals evidence, sneaks into literal police stations and crime scenes, follows threads that others ignore. But the intention is there!!!
(I wish the story leaned into this more—gave him space to chase truth... maybe with Evelyn and the others. He’s neutral good, if you know what I mean. Always trying to do the right thing even if it means breaking a few laws.)
And if he ever found out what Alec had done—really done. He wouldn’t ignore it. He’d go after him.
Because despite the fighting and the bitterness and the endless weight of who they used to be, Kyran still cares. He still loves Alec, in that impossible, unshakable way that makes you do stupid things. And he wouldn’t be able to turn away without knowing—without hearing it from Alec’s mouth.
And even then, I don’t think he’d let go easily. He would want to make to make it right, to know the truth, to understand, to "fix" things. Maybe to save Alec as well.
Kyran would run toward Alec to catch him. Undoubtedly. Unflinchingly. Even if it hurt. (Especially if it hurt.)
No, I'm probably never going to shut up about them. They're my special little guys to observe. Sorry not sorry.
