yes anon yes!!! i read a wrny fic once (fwb situation iirc) where lyney was quiet in bed too and it's always struck me as very in character for him. yeah, he's more introverted at heart, and yeah, he's probably had to keep things quiet around his siblings, but he also has a very tight grip on his emotions and what he shows to the outside world. i think even if he's feeling good, it's just not in his nature to be vocal about it, yknow?

of course making noise during moments like that isn't just for pleasure but also for communication, so you're right that it's gonna cause some awkward moments at first.... lyney is difficult to read as it is, even with wrio's practice, so if he's not making sounds either wrio finds it hard to gauge if lyney even likes what he's doing :( lyney finds it awkward to be loud bc he's not used to it and if he does it on purpose wrio might just accuse him of putting on a show... they agree to just communicate verbally at first until lyney feels more comfortable letting go and until wrio has had more practice reading lyney's body language. and yes i can totally see wrio working all his magic to get lyney to make sounds!! i even imagine him stopping whatever he's doing to jokingly bite lyney or tickle him where he's sensitive to make him laugh and loosen him up 🥹 ahhh they do have their fun, they're so silly ❤️

thank you for the scenario anon!! you guys just keep reading my mind and serving me things I didn't even know i was craving :O 💕

oh my god yes what a creative idea!! i completely forgot about what cat tongues are like bfkdjfk. man, what a weird sensation it would be to kiss a tongue that feels like sandpaper... i feel like as soon as wrio feels that tongue against his own he pulls back with a face like ??!???!!! and lyney has to sheepishly explain that his tongue is a bit different than those of other humans. i bet wrio can get into it as soon as he knows about it and gets used to it though. sure, they can't kiss with tongue very long before wrio's tongue starts to feel raw and sensitive, but there's plenty of other places on his body that lyney can use his tongue on... (god I've typed the word tongue so many times in this answer jfkdbfnfn) outside of spicy scenarios i can totally see lyney just suddenly licking wrio's cheek or his shoulder to tease him, haha. he's not cat enough to actually groom himself or others with it, but sometimes... the urge to lick... is irresistible...

thanks for your input, anon!! man, all my ask box visitors have such big brains ❤️

oooh those are all really fun ideas!! i like the thought of his nails being a little sharper and pointier than a regular person's. same goes for his lil fangs 🤭 just small subtle things that most people won't notice. it would also be funny if lynette got the physical cat traits while lyney got the behavioural ones. lyney gives people head butts and slow blinks to show affection, he likes napping (and making biscuits/kneading) in soft warm spots, he gets bursts of energy at the most random times and has always found it strangely interesting to watch birds and bugs.... a cat not in shape but in spirit 🥹. but you can totally have catboy lyney if you want!! canon is but a suggestion!! no one can stop you!! i know there's many other people who like catboy lyney, you just gotta find 'em ❤️

good call, anon, good call ❤️ i consider myself pretty lucky bc i had a circle of good sane and supportive friends in the fandom and tended to stay away from hate and discourse but MAN the things i witnessed secondhand... the antis and adam haters drove even the strongest person crazy, and it felt like a very competitive atmosphere to create in, even when you were a fan of the most popular pairings. i suppose most fans are laying low bc of the content hiatus but they're probably gonna get right back to stirring up shit once the OVA drops. i guess at some point i just got tired of everything related to sk8, to the point that i had to mute the ship i was once obsessed with :') unfortunately i don't choose what my brain finds interesting, but maybe that changes with the arrival of the OVA, who knows! i still get kudos from time to time on the fics i wrote for the fandom, and it makes my heart warm even with the disconnected i feel towards the source material 🥹 anyway, nice to hear you liked the anime as well (I'm assuming lol)!!

i do yes!! not as often as I'd like, but enough to talk about my favourites :D

anime:
- romantic killer: a girl who's only interested in playing video games and cuddling her cat gets magicked into what's basically a real life dating sim, and she does all she can to prevent getting romanced. hilarious and surprisingly genuine and sweet 💞
- blue period: a delinquent guy suddenly finds his purpose in creating art and grinds like hell to get into an art school. heartfelt and truly captures what it's like to be an artist 💞
- buddy daddies: a duo of roommates who are also spies accidentally acquire a daughter and learn what it means to be a family. a perfect package of cute, funny and heart-wrenching 💞
- yuri!!! on ice: y'all know it, I'm sure. i followed it while it aired and the experience was so wild i can't let go of this story even if i want to (I don't. i love it) 💞
- sk8 the infinity: i burned out on this anime HARD, probably due to the unruly fandom, and i still feel a bit weird about it, but it was my obsession for a good while and it's a genuinely good anime about skateboarding and friendship and chasing your happiness. 💞
- trigun stampede: a space western with lots of trauma and action and two brothers who make their issues the whole world's problem. gorgeous animation and great characters 💞
- haikyuu!!: a volleyball anime that is about so much more than volleyball, trust me. i followed the manga for a long while as well and it's just as awesome. you Will end up adopting and rooting for every character. all time favourite for sure 💞
- fullmetal alchemist (brotherhood): a classic! awesome characters and interesting lore and magic system. I've owned the first few volumes of the manga for like 8 years and still haven't read them, but that's on me. 💞
- orange: a girl receives a letter from herself from the future telling her to befriend the new boy in class and "save" him from [redacted because spoilers]. get ready to cry, this anime will punch you in the gut. 💞

I've watched more anime but these are the ones that stayed with me the most! and some manga-only additions:
- boys run the riot: a closeted trans guy happens to befriend a new delinquent classmate, comes out to him in a moment of vulnerability, and they use their shared love for street fashion to create a fashion brand. I've yet to read the final volume but the story is so wonderfully heartfelt and queer 💞
- to strip the flesh: a single volume collection of short stories, the biggest of which about a closeted trans man hiding his identity to make her father and (diseased) mother happy. also really wonderfully queer. i love my trans stories by trans authors :') (i also have the first volume of "until i love myself: the journey of a non-binary manga artist" lying around that i have yet to read. queer stories just inspire me very much!!)

that's just about it i think! lmk if you've watched/read/enjoyed any of these, i would love to hear your thoughts!! 💞💞

oh my god that's hilarious 😂😂 in the traveler's eyes lyney went from having massive beef with wriothesley to sitting on Wriothesley's lap whenever he feels like it, that would be such a whiplash to witness hgkdjkfj

man, real talk tho, i feel so sad for lyney when it comes to his situation with the traveler... ofc they had every right to feel betrayed and be suspicious of lyney after it came out that he's fatui considering traveler's history with the organisation and its harbingers, but lyney never really had a choice in the matter and genuinely believes he's doing good things... and right on the heels of that he has beef with wriothesley because he's fatui (though also not undeserved.. he did infiltrate the fortress to gather intel).. i wonder how helpless he must feel to be judged not by his character or his actions but by the brand of his allegiance... how he feels like he must hide every part of himself just to have a chance at being a normal(ish) person and doing normal things... the narrative constantly confronts lyney with the fact that the family he found within the fatui is far from perfect, that his work isn't always good, that even his own Father controls the orphans in her care through fear and violence. and it astounds me now that i think about it that lyney keeps choosing his family (and thus the fatui, the brand that marks him as suspicious and other) because he found love and happiness in his situation, because he sees the House not for what it is but for what it could be. he fights for his family and for fairness even if it sets him up against the Knave in a fight he absolutely cannot win. this boy really clings to every crumb of joy he can get his hands on and vows to share them with others in need even if he already has so little. GOD.

but anyway. people who know me know that i was a hardcore aelyney/lynether truther before i switched to wrioney, and that fully has to do with the fact that traveler can give him some valuable outside perspective, a friend outside of the environment he's always been stuck in. and because i feel that the traveler can eventually see past the fatui brand and see lyney for lyney, the way he's come to befriend childe. also, god I'm digressing like crazy but it always felt a little weird that lyney was so heavily judged by traveler for being fatui when they are literally friends with childe?? yknow, the harbinger who tried to destroy liyue by resurrecting an ancient god?? it's probably more the surprise than the actual fatui part since childe was transparent about his allegiances from the start but like... idk. by the time traveler arrived in fontaine surely their view of the fatui had gotten more nuanced... i Get it, and it for sure made an interesting setup for conflict, but it didn't fully add up to me hfkdnd. ANYWAY

i can totally see traveler tease lyney about the crush he used to have on them and lyney wants to simultaneously sink into the ground from embarrassment and cry bc surely the traveler being able to make fun of him like that means they started trusting him again 🥹🥹🥹

you're asking the same questions i have, anon 🥲 it's such an interesting character moment for lyney!! it's funny bc i actually wanted to touch upon this argument and similar situations when it comes to lyney being vulnerable around others in a fic i started once, but the question is whether I'll actually finish the thing one day, lol. i still really like the ideas i have for it so hopefully..!!! and god the way lyney operates here is so familiar, like he wants people to notice he's struggling because some part of him wants help but whenever he's asked about it he waves away people's concerns because he doesn't want to be a burden... i think wrio would be one of the few people who are able to break through lyney's shields because he's blunt and confident enough not to let lyney drop the issue so easily. just like the confrontation they had in the fortress, he's gonna keep poking and prodding until lyney tells him what he actually wants/needs, and then wrio will give it to him 🥹💕 or lyney will just stop resisting and lean on wrio more because he insists lyney do so and, well, it can't be that bad if wrio offers.... he feels guilty about it at first but surprise surprise, it actually helps to lean on someone once in a while!! gah i love thinking about those two actually having vulnerable moments together bc it's So not in their nature, and them having those moments means they're making progress with letting people in :') thank you for your thoughts, anon! ahh my inbox is so busy today, I'm very happy and grateful 💖💖💖

i see your vision, anon, and I've definitely thought about it!! (partly because I'm ace myself and love projecting onto my faves lol)

i do want to say that his promiscuous act and his asexuality aren't mutually exclusive. he can still be flirty and get intimate with people (and even enjoy doing so!) without sexual attraction being present. but i agree with you that he wants to be in control of his own body and is picky about what he does with who. lyney's story has a lot of room for interpretations with an asexual (and possibly sexually traumatised) lense, and i see you've already got a clear image in your head!! thank you for sharing your thoughts, i love hearing about uh, for lack of a better term, unpopular interpretations of lyney's character 💞 i can totally see your reasoning!

in my mind i carry several versions of lyney existing next to each other like a range of parallel universes that i can choose from at will, and one of those is asexual lyney who uses sex as a means to an end/sometimes to just have fun but he doesn't particularly care for it, and it's with someone he deeply cares about (cough, wrio) that he finds out how enjoyable and intimate and emotional sex can be :') but even that scenario is prone to change depending on what I'm feeling, i could also see him as flirty but ultimately sex-averse and panicking when his flirting leads to people toeing his boundaries. all versions of lyney are good and fun!

yes anon yes to all of that!!! god i can only imagine how exhausted he must be every day after putting on his extroverted persona... wishing he could act in a way that comes naturally to him but also having internalised that mask so much that he struggles to turn it off even around people he feels comfortable with... i love thinking about how wrio might help him with that by just kinda. calling him out whenever he's obviously putting on the extrovert act when it's just them to and telling lyney to relax, that he doesn't have to play entertainer all the time. over time the reassurance that wrio won't get bored of him when he is quieter will help lyney refamiliarise himself with his natural state of being 🥹🥹

thank you for sharing this scenario with me anon!!! i love diving deeper into my favourite characters'... well, character, and i would love to see more introverted lyney stuff 💕💕

of course i do!! i might have several, actually. i really enjoy royalty AUs, and magic/superpower AUs, and OH vampire/werewolf (or other supernatural/mythical creatures) AU as well!! i gotta say the AUs i tend to enjoy usually depend on what the source material is like, for example if there's already magic or the plot is super intense i go 👀👀 at AUs that are magic-less and laid back, and vice versa. I'm also fairly open to new/different AUs if the premise sounds interesting or if i trust the writer! (I'm not really an omegaverse person but I've read Some fics that hit pretty well... writer, you know who you are ❤️) i can be easily convinced, haha. but the AUs i mentioned above are ones I'm pretty much always up for!! i actually feel like there's more but these are all i can think of right now hfkdjkfj. thank you for dropping by!! ❤️

oh my gosh anon what an honour!! I'm so happy my silly thought inspired you 🥹💖💖 well, in my head lyney is trans in this scenario, and in that case I'd personally prefer more neutral terms when it comes to his uh. downstairs anatomy, if possible. and other things.... I'm thinking about that one voiceline of lyney's that's like "if you want to learn more about my tricks you'll have to become my assistant and call me 'master lyney'".... wrio calling lyney master to complete the whole dom/sub act would be absolutely delicious 😳🤭 wrio needs to fulfill his role as assistant sufficiently before he gets to cum 🤭🤭 aside from that i cant really think of anything but really those details are up to you if you end up writing the thing!!! it's your fic in the end, even if it's based on my idea, so have fun with it first and foremost, okay? I'm just happy i could offer some inspiration and i will undoubtedly eat up whatever you decide to cook 💕💕

yay i love questions!! :D
i like to think that wrio likes lyney's hands.. they're slim, with graceful long fingers, lightly calloused on the palm and fingertips from prop crafting, magic practice and bow use. they're mysterious the way they perform sleight of hand tricks like it's nothing and the way they're almost always covered by gloves. wrio always makes a point of removing lyney's gloves and kissing/massaging his hands as soon as he comes home to him 🥺
obviously lyney's favourite body part of wrio's is his boobs. ... I'm kidding actually hfkshdjdj i think lyney would like wrio's face. those intense downturned eyes, the nose that bears evidence of having been broken several times, the faint ever-present layer of stubble on his jaw... lyney loves just studying wrio's face and seeing what stories he can find there, or tracing his fingers along wrio's features.

what they like about themselves is a bit trickier, hmm... i feel like both of them are relatively disconnected from their body in terms of appearance, like... they've never really had the luxury to consider their body in that way? lyney obviously does care about his appearance and takes great care to properly maintain it due to his public image, but it's more to aid his mask and to use it as a tool rather than that he actually, like, wants to emphasise the traits he thinks look good, you know? wrio had the same vibe in that he cares more about what his body does than what it looks like, if that makes sense. but i do think there's things they like about their bodies. i agree with you in the thought that lyney probably likes his hair, he seems to enjoy styling it in different ways. i think maybe wrio likes his muscles because he's put a lot of time and effort into training and becoming strong and he appreciates the way his body shows his growth.

now for the spicy one.. i think one of lyney's big ones is his ears. having wrio trace them or lick them or nibble on them drives him crazy. i think he's also sensitive on his lower abdomen (like the skin below the belly button leading up to his crotch) and his inner thighs, something wrio takes joy in exploiting, haha. i think the neck could be a big one for them both (because i am a sucker for neck kisses) (pun not intended), but considering his scars, wrio would probably be extra sensitive there, whether that's physically or mentally. having someone touch or kiss the scars that run down his throat just ruins him. i think he's also partial to having his chest/nips played with, and his inner wrists are unexpectedly sensitive as well. they can have a lot of fun together, I'm sure 💕

thanks for the questions, i had fun considering my response to them!! let me know if there's anything i missed or something you'd like me to elaborate on ✨🫶
