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!
