AHAHBVDJHVAFAKF CYNO LORE??!?!?! im actually so excited been waiting 2 years for this mans lore pls hoyo do him good

[lotusmuses]

aaa?????? i like how my theories are the same as in-game theories about him- ALSO this is the first time i've seen hermanubis mentioned in anything when i wasn't looking for him this is amazing

Vision:

"Some believe that Cyno is actually a descendant of King Deshret. They say that he grew up in a temple located in the Great Red Sand and was raised by a nameless Hermanubis priest who cultivated Cyno's will and strength before, when he was ready, bestowing upon him a Vision and requiring him to cross the desert all by himself to arrive at the Akademiya and enact Hermanubis' will."

Hello i'm back after 3000 years to rant about cynonari bc cyno's second story quest had me FEELING THINGS and i need an outlet. Not that they haven't been rotting my brain consistently for almost two years but this quest... it's just. So much

The way cyrus tells cyno to invite tighnari along for dinner out of nowhere like he's just part of the family, the camping trip with 4 people (not counting paimon since she's basically one of the traveler's limbs) and only 3 tents (i thought tighnari and collei might share a tent but tighnari was alone in his tent when he woke up after cyno had already left so.....), tighnari's one track mind about catching up with cyno the moment he realizes the situation, not even hesitating about following him to the desert which is the bane of his existence, and then glueing himself to his side, cyno saying he's more than just the general mahamatra or a vessel for a god and tighnari smiling so proudly and saying "exactly", the story of hermanubis confirming that he was a tighnarian which makes their lives historicaly intertwined and gives off big soulmate energy, and then cyno looking at tighnari with a little smile after hearing it and saying "i like this story", their little hideout at the akademiya where they used to go to to chat and watch the sunset..... and then there's this

A fam. Family. Ttadition. A family tradition. Family. I'm foaming at the mouth this is too much

Also.

Look at this face of pure fond exhasperation he keeps giving cyno and tell me this isn't love.

From a bit ago ✏️

Was pleased with his quest! The Hermanubis-Hermes Trismegistus connection brainworms aren’t completely gone, but I’m very appreciative for the temple of silence drop & the sweet interactions between everyone in Sumeru :’) 🤲💚

Do you guys think that Sethos remembered Cyno from when they were kids? Do you think that they were each other's source of comfort in the temple? Do you think Sethos was confused and sad when Cyno disappeared suddenly? Do you think he felt betrayed when he learned that Cyno started working for the Akademiya? Do you think Sethos was secretly happy to see Cyno again during the quest? Do you think he wanted to work up the courage to talk to him and ask him if he remembers being friends? Do you think it broke him when he learned that Cyno didn't remember much of his time in the temple at all? Do you think it broke him even more to hear Cyno explain that Tighnari was his first ever friend? Do you think he bit his tongue despite wanting to tell him everything? Do you think that even now, he misses Cyno?

✨Can I Offer You An Akademiya Romance In These Trying Times✨

[sleepy-aletheas]

I have an unreasonable love for Haikaveh and their dutars. Like, the game has two with two distinct string versions, and these two losers share the same style (called 'An Elegant Voice' in the teapot) with their strings being made of silk and gel for *checks notes* crystalline timber. They could have divided them in this too, one with silk and gel strings, the other metal, but no no no. They have the same taste in this specifically.
