The way Sydney says David’s name

Reblog if you agree

[vidal-harkness]

Imma try to explain this Lenny Busker thing.

Lenny Busker was a patient and friend of David’s at Clockworks. His wingman and the biggest Sydavid shipper known to man. Watch all the deleted scenes from season one and you’ll see that to be a fact. When Syd and David kissed, it basically woke up the Shadow King due to Syd’s mutation of the body swapping. Syd couldn’t handle David’s powers which led to people literally getting trapped in the walls. Lenny didn’t make it through all the way when she was killed. 

So, the Shadow King probably knew how much David liked and trusted Lenny so he used a manifestation of her because he knew that he needed to be somebody else besides the dog and Angry Boy. Guilty David and all. Someone that is an actual person that can talk to David and feed him lies. It’s obvious he picked up on how Lenny carries herself, but is a lot more crude than she is. 

Fast forward to the end of season one and onto season two where the Shadow King as Lenny is now occupying Oliver’s mind. “We're trapped.” she says. We’re trapped. Wait. Does that mean that Lenny isn’t really the Shadow King? Because that’s not something the Shadow King would say right? Was she recruited and possessed by Amahl Farouk somehow when she “died”? Her spirit? Did all that time in David’s mind allow him to manifest her as a separate entity from him? Feeding off of David’s powers and all. It appears that either Lenny isn’t fully aware that she’s dead OR she’s a separate entity created by Amahl Farouk. Another theory is that she’s now a new personality of David’s?

Thoughts? Questions? Am I right? Am I wrong? Let’s discuss this.

Okay, a couple of questions. One is, do you have a Sydney and David Pinterest board? Also, do you have a playlist for them. Love their tiktoks, btw. And I need more oneshots or fanfiss of them. There's so little of them and it's so sad

Who do you think I am bff? Of COURSE they have a pin board and playlist. Uhm the playlist is like 15hrs long. My friend and I went kind of crazy.

overview: “Lighten up, kid! We made it in one piece didn’t we?” She said as she walked as if she were an animated character; overdramatic movements, arms swinging. The man followed behind.

“Barely.”

Syd couldn’t help but feel like she had met him before. There was a sense of familiarity in his voice and presence the closer he got. Before he went inside the two exchanged a quick look and it was like she felt an urge to follow him. To talk to him. To know him.

Writing under the cut, I hope you enjoy some next life Sydavid things!! Divider from @cafekitsune and if you would like to be tagged in my writing please lmk!!

i. Sydney

The dream always started out the same. It’s been a pretty consistent dream, but it started out vague before progressively clearing as the months went on. Sydney was like a third party watching her talk to someone. She couldn’t really see much of who she was talking to. The light effectively covers his face. Sydney was in a room, a white room — no. No, it was a nursery. She had come to realize that. A nursery with a white crib, a rocking chair and two mahogany cabinets on either side of it with two lights right above them. On the left was a red teddy bear, a gold rocket ship, and a pink globe. And on the right there were a few stuffed animals. She could only make out a brown teddy bear, a sloth, and the top of a horse’s head.

Above the crib were drapes. Different shades of blue. The center of it was a light blue, dark blue, and white flowers all about and the drapes were thickly outlined with the same dark blue. She wasn’t wearing her gloves — why wasn’t she wearing her gloves? — and she was peering down into the crib at a baby who was quietly cooing. That was when someone would come up next to her keeping a safe distance like they knew she didn’t like to be touched, that she couldn’t be touched. After a moment’s pause, she would speak. “Hey.”

“Hey.” The voice would answer hardly above a whisper as if they weren’t expecting her to speak. A man’s voice. A deep one, somewhat. Silence would hang heavily in the air before he speaks again. “Are you not surprised to see me?”

“She told me. Switch. I get to do it all over again, this life.” Sydney never understood this dream. The context of it. Who was Switch and why would anyone name their kid that? You can’t undo life. You only get one.

“Yeah,” the man stayed silent for a moment before he spoke again in the same soft tone, “and I bet you’re gonna turn out extraordinary … without me around.” She wasn’t sure if dream Syd caught onto the pang of pain in that last line, but she did.

“Yeah. I am.” Well, that’s rude to agree with him.

“I’m sorry.”

“I like your mom.” That’s when Syd would look over to him, and he’d give her a halfhearted chuckle.

“Yeah,” both of them would look back down at the baby. “Looking forward to getting to know her.”

“So now what?” Sydney would ask, sighing heavily. “We just, sort of … ”

“Fade away,” he answers her. “Into the ether.” The mood was a bit tense between the two, and Syd didn’t understand why. “I have to say, I didn’t think you’d help me.”

Sydney looked over at him again, “I didn’t. I helped him.” She said and looked down at the baby. Sydney didn’t understand it but she supposed she could bet behind helping a baby? “David.” The name rang in her head constantly as if it were alarm bells.

“Yeah?”

Syd and the man — David — looked at each other and then she answered the strangest thing, “Be a good boy.” Syd’s gaze would avert his own but he would remain on her until they didn’t. And then she woke up. Sydney reached over her night stand and marked off another tally on a notepad with a blue pen she had. That was twenty. Twenty times Sydney had that dream since she started going to college.

It wasn’t exactly a bad dream. If anything it had brought some sense of her tranquility when she woke up, even when she could hardly hear the exchanged conversation. Though at the same time, it left her with a multitude of questions; who was David? What was their relationship? Why was he sorry? Shaking off the questions that consistently ran in her head she stood up to get ready for the day. Sydney attended a nice art school and she was in her dorm. She had won the roommate lottery and landed a solo room with nobody to share the space with, which she was happy about. No risk for accidents.

She had hardly been attending for a month and she had accumulated a nice friend group varying in different grades. It was who she hung out with when she wasn’t in her dorm or in class. The dorm was small but comfortable, but a bit cluttered. God, I need to clean. Once showered and ready she chose a lengthy pair of black gloves to wear for the day as she left.

“Are you coming?” A voice had spoken from behind her. A good friend of hers, Leia. She was a junior.

“Coming where?”

“Party tonight at someone’s house.”

“Oh, someone’s? That’s specific. No thanks.”

“Syd,” Leia dragged her name out and jogged in front of her while managing to walk backwards. “You never come out with us!”

“I don’t like it.”

“You cannot go through your college experience without going to a party, Sydney Barrett.”

“Actually,” Syd stepped aside so she wouldn’t walk into a pole like Leia was about to. “I can. And I plan to!”

“We need a — fuck — DD!”

“I’m the DD anyway, seeing as I’m always picking you all up.”

“Just this once?”

“You’re never giving this up, are you?”

“Not at all.” Leia beamed at her and she sighed in defeat.

“An hour, and we’re done.”

“Two.”

“Don’t make me cut it to thirty minutes.”

“Fine.”

Would Sydney really think it over? Probably not, but she didn’t need to know that. But when all of her friends had nearly begged her to, she relented. She would just need to be more careful .

“Who’s party is this anyways?” Sydney called from the bathroom later that night as she did her make up. The answer wasn’t the least bit helpful; a lot of no idea’s or i don’t know’s. This felt like the perfect set up for a horror movie. College kids going to a party and they don’t even know who’s hosting it? “Great answers, guys.”

When they arrived she laid out ground rules; nobody but Syd even so much as thinks of driving home, she wouldn’t be drinking, everyone needs to have two cups of actual water before they leave. And with that they went inside. However Sydney and another friend of hers stayed outside to smoke.

“Thanks for coming out, Syd.”

“Don’t get too comfortable with asking, cause it’s not happening again.” Parties made Syd anxious. In high school she’d often go to raves, and switch bodies with someone. Too many people. Too many accidents waiting to happen.

“We’ll see.”

“No we wo —” her words were interrupted by a loud shriek down the street. It was a man’s. And it was followed by hyena - esque laughter.

“Lenny, slow down!”

“Time waits for nobody, kid!”

The two watched the shadows on the street grow larger as the owners of the voices came rolling down the street in a … shopping cart?

“Lenny, we'll crash!”

“Oh, we’ll be fine!”

“I’m gonna be sick.”

“Do not throw up in this shopping cart!”

“Then pull over!”

The duo pulled up by a tree and the man nearly tipped the shopping cart to stumble out. He was a lanky looking thing with disheveled blonde hair, a leather jacket and a black and white striped shirt with some plain jeans. The woman with him was noticeably shorter with equally messy hair and some tats on her fingers that somewhat resembled henna.

“That was a terrible idea.”

“Lighten up, kid! We made it in one piece didn’t we?” She said as she walked as if she were an animated character; overdramatic movements, arms swinging. The man followed behind.

“Barely.”

Syd couldn’t help but feel like she had met him before. There was a sense of familiarity in his voice and presence the closer he got. Before he went inside the two exchanged a quick look and it was like she felt an urge to follow him. To talk to him. To know him. But he left and her friend whispered, “You’re staring.”

“Shut up.” Syd shook her head and leaned against the wall. That was likely the weirdest exchange she’s ever had. And no words were said.

I CHEERED!!! So for context Sydney and David are from this fx show called Legion. Its in the xmen universe, Syd can’t be touched cause she’s a body switcher and David is a telepathic telekentic. He had a parasite, another mutant, feeding off of him for yearsss and they js got it out and in s2 he was gone for like a yr cause he was somewhere they don’t really explain but in s2 the parasite ( his name is farouk ) is tryna get his body back cause atm he’s js a conscience. Syd was being manipulated by Farouk towards the end of season two to warp her perception of David cause, even in s1, she has been defending his ass up and down even when he was shady as shit. And then they have a confrontation where Syd holds him at gun point and is generally js acting not like herself and. The vibes js give the end cabin scene.

ALSOOO Lucy Gray’s whole trust thing & Sn*w lying to her about the third person vs David also being secretive as shit towards her and not telling her he crossed the one ( 1 ) boundary he set, nothing physical with future Syd ( this sounds weird with no context ) and even though that one wasn’t TECHNICALLY his fault, he still should have told her.

Back to the confrontation; Syd shoots him but his friend Lenny has a sniper and SOMEHOW manages to shoot the bullet, iirc, knocking them both out and David’s up before she is so he does what any totally sane person does ( /sar ) … suppresses Syd’s memories so she has absolutely no recollection of what Farouk showed David. They get back to this facility they all stay and work at, Division 3, and David’s all like oh after farouk’s trial — cause atp he has his physical body back — we’ll leave and get a nice house on the countryside just us!!! And that with Sn*w and Lucy Gray dipping from d12.

Syd naturally ends up finding out the truth about what David did to her and they put him in this force field cause he actually might end up destroying the world so they’re tryna prevent that but it doesn’t work. And so he’s tweaking inside of it thinking they all betrayed him and are siding with the thing that essentially ruined his life. And Sn*w tweaking when Lucy Gray dips, good for her, and shooting all the mockingjays and shit.

So in conclusion: rip Sydney Barrett you would have loved Lucy Gray🙏🏻and David does not become a dictator but he DOES become a cult leader so

I need someone to ask me about the season two syd and david and snowbaird parallels PLEASE IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE PLEASE GOD SOMEONE ASK ME ABOUT SEASON TWO SYDAVID AND SNOWBAIRD PARALLELS I’LL PULL UP RECEIPTS, PROOF, TIMELINES, SCREENSHOTS, FUCKING EVERYTHING!!!!😭😭
