Lyney tl kin edits

(Time context of the childhood edit has been ignored in favor of showing more tl context)

happy birthday, lyney and lynette. i really wish the three of us could be together today. i miss you two. i miss all the little things we'd do together—visiting the opera house, eating breakfast at your favourite cafes, spending hours watching you put together outfits for your performances... whatever it was, it was always easier with the two of you by my side.

things are harder now, but your memories help me keep my head clear. thank you. i love you both very, very much and i hope you have a wonderful time.

I keep fucking forgettign that I was cis as Lyney and I cant even entertain that MAYBE I was wrong bc I have mems of EXPLICITLY STATING I WAS CIS- 😭😭😭

Its literally only Lyney too, I love trans!Dottore but I have never had to pause and go "oh wait yeah I was cis fuck-" Why is it ONLY LYNEYYY-

At least I got other major kin tls where I was trans that I can focus on more if needed but OUGH with 4.6 about to drop I cant really stop thinking abt Lyney tl!

hi, i'm lyney, and i was crazy into my adopted brother. sorry to any freminets reading this who don't feel the same way!

Nearly all of my kins were adhd and/or autistic yippee!

More specific highlights though-

In Lyney tl I had hearing and balance issues due to a shitty foster parent removing my feline features. (would a tail removal count as being an amputee? Im pretty sure- but it was a very important limb for my balance regardless). Thanks to Dottore's medical knowledge the brunt of the problems were fixed, I wasnt completely deaf at least! But I was left with audio processing problems. And while I did adjust to balance without my tail (and my eardrums in a completely different spot, cant forget how much those contribute to balance), I'd still have a few slip ups every so often. By the time of the game I'd say they were completely invisible issues. Oh and Lynette and I both had mild forms of chronic fatigue, hers was worse than mine though.

In one Dottore timeline (I think, they all kinda blend together idk how many I have anymore) I was a self imposed amputee- It's how I made my "clones", since I really just hacked myself apart and made robot structures around each body part. Honestly fair if anyone doesnt want to count it, but I personally do. (On that note I seem to have a kinmonality for amputation.. theres far more than Dottore and Lyney...) Another Dottore disability (possibly) is the hivemind itself, as every member of it could all speak to eachother within our minds I can only assume it would feel similar to being a system. I'm a singlet in this life so I can't really be sure to be fair, I just know my own brain can't replicate the way I could think in that period of the timeline, and it sounds quite a bit like what many of my system friends have described.

One version of the game sent in asked to include fictional disabilities- I think being cursed would count for Shinobu. Messing around in Madame Pings attic with Yanfei was a terrible idea! Adapting to growing snake features (fangs, pupils, I think a few scales too) was AWFUL but I managed, and had Baizhu to help me adjust since he had the same thing due to Changsheng assumably. (Bonus, albeit not my kin: in this timeline Yoimiya was an amputee, what is her leg guard in game was actually a prothetic leg in the tl)

In my Baizhu tl, I did have a permanent chronic illness, I dont know what it was, but I could never find a cure for it. I didn't have Changsheng in that timeline so I really don't know what it was!

Hmm. I had Severe memory issues as Kinger, as Wanderer I would tend to fall apart if my joints were under too much stress- Many other timelines had ptsd. I'm so sure I had chronic pain in a few but I can't for the life of me remember which kins they are right now.

-Lyney (genshin impact) #🧵🕊💜

Arlecchino: First off they were Non-Binary. Father was far more gentle with Lynette and I than one would expect. They had a penchant for choosing favorites- In every little thing they could- They even had favorite dishes within each Hearth. They truly were an actual parent for Lynette and I, of course through legal adoption, but in behavior as well. For the other members of the hearth Father, while addressed as a parent, was far more like a teacher or boss. Father was typically hard to read, and rarely had much tone within their voice, but they loved to tease me about many things- Especially my love life, just as any parent would. Father also loved to participate in my magic act. The others thought they were just humoring me, but they would genuinely be excited to participate. I think it was mostly because they loved to bewilder the others, rather than a love of the tricks. But it was fun every single time. They were highly protective, and even went to speak to Wriothesley about our relationship before I could even say no. Lynette would always patch them up after battle while they were in fontaine, and despite their demeanor, they would always twitch when certain injuries were touched. We never mentioned it, but it reminded us they could indeed feel pain.

Fontaine hearth: While the hearth used family terms, we typically didnt see eachother as family. There would be groups of claimed family among us all, the small group still living in the fontaine hearth is an example. For my timeline the only ones living in the hearth building were Lynette and I, Freminet, and 5 of the girls who Father saved alongside Lynette. Of course Lynette and the other girls all grew very close, I was dragged in with them, and not a single one of us was going to make Freminet feel excluded. So we were all siblings.

Freminet specifically: He never cried for real. He was incapable of it, no matter how awful he felt. However he could fake cry on command. The most mischivious thing he would ever do is use it to manipulate our siblings into doing something. Get us to cave because he was one of the youngest, then immediately stop and smile and thank us. Worked every time =m="

Wriothesley: The cowlicks in his hair always caused people to think he had atavism. He told me he tried to tame them down when he was younger, but they'd always come back so he gave up. He eventually just grew used to people thinking he was an actual wolf, and when Sigewinne joined meropides staff she got him to dress up as one for any costume related holiday (she even made some up but dont tell him that, he looked adorable. (Neuvillette and I both were in on it- for different reasons- I wanting to see Wrio dressed up, and he wanting to see his daughter happy)). Wriothesley was extremely empathetic, and even after only hearing Lynette and I "talk robot" a few times, he tried to mimic it when I once shut down while visiting him. He was terrible at it, but I loved that he tried in the first place.

Aether: He was obsessed with fighting and the outdoors. He loved finding big monsters to fight and to scavange parts and pieces that would fall off of them. The institute loved him because he'd be down to test copellia and copellius whenever they needed. He gifted Lynette, Freminet, and I all what in game are our boss drops. When he found the giant crabs cave and brought back the shell piece for me, he immediately dragged me out of the city to go see it because it fucking ruled. Boys will be Boys and Boys Love Giant Pyro Crabs. Even though he had the teapot he much prefered camping, much to Paimons dismay. He also seemed to be a dirt magnet, even fresh out of a shower he seemed to still somehow have dirt on his face. My crush on him was very short lived but I can at least say he was one of my closest friends, and it did become a fun bit between us to flirt as a joke.

Finally Lynette: She didn't stand behind me because she was shy, it was because as children after our foster parent had my ears and tail removed, she became my new balance for a while. While as adults the issue was long solved, the habit remained. She was often scared that one day we would grow apart, and that often manifested as being upset that I was dating. I eventually got her to understand that my dating wouldnt seperate us- By setting her up on a few dates of her own. (Thank you for agreeing Charlotte) She wasn't great with money, often spending her weekly allowance all on snacks within a day or two, then begging me for mine- Her and Paimon were very similar in that aspect. All the cats of the hearth would slowly follow her around the building. She would sit down and the cats would all trickle into the room. Except for my dear Rosselind of course, she typically followed me.

haaah Sorry these ask game submissions ended up being rather long-
