I need more obsessive TessCyn. This ship is SO GOOD, I love it. It’s like.. one single human is nice to you and now you wanna assimilate together into one being as marriage proposal to consume the stars together. (and drag along all your newly remodeled friends for the ride!)
It’s just.. why is it so good lol
YESSSSS!!! YOU GET IT.
They have alot of potential for winning the most FUCKED UP AND EVIL TOXIC YURI
it's just that people are too scared to explore uncharted ships like Tesscyn, you would get shat on for it back then
So now, nobody really cares much and hasn't ever given it the time and effort to show how full of complexity, conflict and love it can get so it just sits there gathering up dust
Heres my honest take on them btw, if you’d like to know more about how I think they could actually work together as a ship
it's a clean and neat ramble so you won't get lost between the lines if you're willing to stop and read for abit!
A ramble about Tesscyn!!!
Now I do admit though, from a non-shipper’s perspective, it’s pretty weird coming across a ship between an eldritch robot that is the root cause of everything bad that’s ever happened in the show and a human that fell victim to her and is currently having her (half dead) corpse flaunted around the galaxy. A pretty unceremonious death… 😭
…thooo thats where the headcanons come in!
(Since we barely know anything about the two outside of the main plot...)
i used to hate this ship btw, and found it so icky because well… Cyn is literally wearing Tessa’s body. And i excused my unbridled hatred to whoever shipped it as “its an unhealthy ship!! Me no likey, ew.” but after Forever’s release and a fic that dropped wayy earlier before, i was absolutely hooked onto it
call me delusional atp with how ill keep drawing nothing but these two and make up scenarios about them interacting pre-manor massacre, or even make up little aus for the sake of some fluff and more angst, but the ship is SO deliciously toxic I can't bear to steer clear from it.
So you could say its the opposite of Jessa
less of the yearning and loss…
and more of that OBSESSION and CONTROL !
Cyn is bold, so she knows how to get what she wants at the right time.
And Tessa is just too fascinated by what exactly Cyn is to walk away out of disinterest from her. So the love is mutual!
One is fascinated by her biology, and the other is curious about how she functions as an eldritch robot. Since we figured Tessa has already found out about Cyn’s solver powers at some point during a nightly repair and she opens up her chassis expecting some wires and a metal core... only to be met with a bunch of meaty parts.
her thought process is just “oh. that’s not supposed to be there… neat-o! How does that happen?”
And finds Cyn’s ability to function anyways to be interesting rather than horrifying cus' let’s be honest, the gal desecrates graves for fun, places skulls of people in her room and plucks out their hair to style it for her drones. She's a weirdo who definitely thrives on 4chan LMAO
Their relationship is a mixed bag of mutual fascination, envy, jealousy and possession. The obsession is one-sided as Cyn seems to be pretty fixated on mimicking Tessa’s characteristics. I figured she uses mimicking as a way to socialize since she saw how humans mimic off of eachother (repeating meme trends to eachother, dressing up as their favorite characters from a series together) as a social bond.
Tessa once notices Cyn’s sudden change of hairstyle and questions her about who did her hairstyle exactly and Cyn just casually says “oh, it’s you. You did it. Do you not remember?”
And it still mind boggles Tessa to this day because she cannot for the life of her ever remember doing Cyn’s hair to look like hers (she was gaslit into believing she did Cyn’s hair and thought that she simply forgot, i.e using Tessa’s forgetful mind as a weapon against her. How devious!)
So like in simple terms, its just evil toxic yuri, but underneath all that cynical-ness, i’d figure Cyn absolutely loves Tessa and wanted to keep her to herself, since she hasn’t liked a human that much ever since her hateful spree on humans. And Tessa goes along with it considering she has never connected with another human, as much as she feels bad for what Cyn had done to her parents. she still feels guilty for everyone else!
Cyn considers Tessa in a different category than your average human, like her little “i hate ALL humans... No no Tessa, you stay. You’re cool. You’re rocking with me.” category. She’s the only exception lol

Your art has 100% made me even more obsessed with Tessa x cyn, considering I liked both characters anyway I was curious about the ship for a while but now I’m obsessed- I’m also glad I wasn’t the only one that got the tescyn vibes from the forever music video !! Love that thing so much
Thank you so much! 🥺 i absolutely adore the two and strive to interpret them as accurate as i can (but not without a little ooc and self-indulgence heh) so it would actually be more interesting in the process and people would think “yep, Tessa would say that” and i don’t come off as an idiot lol
do u know why the creator of i did not discard you deleted 18th chapter and renamed it to finished?? :(
Oh yeah! I suppose they didn’t want to add that last part for personal reasons but i presumed it just led nowhere and ended on a rather grim note, still understandable as the current ending is much lighter

not sure if this'll get answered but I feel like a twitter dm would be weirder but anyways, what is your interpretation on tessa and cyns dynamic once they're fused? I see people saying tessa would be dormant or in a 3rd person purgatory after being assimilated but that's boring. In a eldritch royals ship I feel like they'd make each other worse in a fun way
oh definitely!
even if she was thrown into some kind of mental simulation of Cyn’s making, Tessa’s got nothing else to do but verbally abuse her, or atleast try to do so knowing how much Cyn could just deflect, they’re like a divorced couple still bickering after 80 years of tasteless marriage lmao
“You’ve got nerve to come here.”
“Ive got many. Thanks to you.”
“oh well that’s cute. As long as it keeps you warm, right? Yeah.”
“Only because i take care to not damage it. Too much.”
“oh, how meeerci—ful of you! piss off.”
“Stubborn. Even when im inside you.”
“You’ve made that joke already. It’s getting stale.”
Okay but to add on to TessCyn being the most fucked up toxic yuri... What if Tessa agreed to the assimilation? Either because Cyn gasslit her into thinking it's a good idea, or Tessa just couldn't help her own curiosity.
I can imagine after everything her parents put her through along with the drones she calls her family, Cyn would just be like "I know a way to get back at them, protect the others, be together forever, and solve your curiosity about my biology at the same time." And Tessa would just be like, "... Go on." And in the end she has no regrets! Cyn's manipulation wins!
And they lived horrifically ever after.
YES omg <3 i do love some manipulation in the mix knowing Cyn had to twist some strings to get in Tessa’s brain and see what motivates her, even as much as Tessa doesn’t enjoy knowing everything will be gone upon her agreement.
she is still a human with her own worldly wants and needs, and i feel like i don’t wanna brush over that as much as she avoids social interaction, had morbid interests and relied on robots for having someone to talk to .
It’s macabre being told that everything you have ever loved will disappear, yet being promised a better existence. And i think she’d be already reaching rock bottom before handing her life over, eventually relying on Cyn entirely to take the wheel
