Lyle Headcanons? (I Just Really Love Him Because He's A Big Ole Baby Who's Got A Major Crush On Sam

Spoilers for look outside under the cut, just some ramblings about Lyle’s form teehee. Also might not be coherent because I’m banging this out before my sleep meds get my ass

Anyways, I think Lyle can pull something real close to Leigh’s grinning beast thing, because there’s NO WAY he’s hiding all this under that robe.

(Ignore shitty screenshots please lmao)

In his average sprite, it looks like he has two eyes, and a (mostly) normally sized mouth, plus he’s a little smaller than the form he takes if Sam chooses to open his eyes after kissing him.

I’m actually pretty sure he’s only able to do this partially (his overworld sprite is kinda long, and he constantly covers himself, so maybe he’s only able to squash himself down a bit?). And it probably breaks if he gets startled, hence the sight Sam sees if you have him peek… That, or he’s kissing Sam in his monstrous form. Gay rights I guess

This man is twisted, sick.

OUGHH I dunno. I’m probably gonna be active on here sharing my scripts, stuff I’ve added, and how my shifting journeys going. Idk how to end this I’ve never made an intro before 💀

not an ask but a question: what is shifting?

Lmao sorry for the late answer, tumblr is eating my asks

Shifting is the act of becoming aware of your body in another reality and moving (shifting) your consciousness into it. You’ve always been there, you just gotta become aware of it. I’m no good at explaining it, but there’s plenty of explanations on tumblr and TikTok that are fairly easy to find (:

I am going entirely rabid, I always find a neat little game entirely out of chance and go “ohhh no, I won’t get obsessed with this one” then suddenly I’m in the backroads middle of the night sketching Lyle into the dirt with a stick

Wasn’t planning on making more, but this reblog scalped me with the Mr. Henderson part and I just had to do it. Nobody else look, this is for madscientists1mp ONLY!!1!/j

MR HENDERSON

- The type of landlord that promises to call someone about that black mold problem three times and still doesn’t do anything about it

- Mildly bigoted? I don’t know. Like, no problems with people but sometimes he just says some shit that makes everyone go “oohh….” And then it’s back to normal

- I feel like his post mutation form has some sort of grounding in the walls, like he can squeeze himself down like an octopus and travel through the interior. If he encounters any blocks he’ll repeatedly ram his helmeted head into it until it cracks and then he’ll scrape out the blockage with his tendrils

- The helmets fused to his head, more a natural armour now than something that can be removed. If it cracks or breaks he’ll flee somewhere and go stationary for a bit to allow it to reseal itself. Doesn’t have skin under it anymore, just a brain

- Lost most of his logic/reasoning when he mutated, only knows rent and war now (if he didn’t already before). Also explains why he keeps ramming his head into things despite his brain having no other protection than the helmet

SYBIL

- trans woman, definitely has a “oh, OH!! Where’s my dick at!?” Moment when she was first becoming goop (if what beryl (?) said about her state was to be true)

- Autistic, does not understand most social cues. Got worse post mutation, hence her just peeking through a hole in your wall and talking to you casually. Respectful though

- She and jasper weren’t together, were on the BRINK of being something more before the visitor put its foot through the relationships door

- In her dreams she can remember everything clearly, as quick and collected as she was before. Always vows to remember when she wakes up, but never does. Gets confused and distressed whenever pressed about her dreams because she KNOWS there’s something (someone?) important her mess of a brain is keeping from her

LEIGH

- two autistic people in this post huh. Projecting on her a bit, but she was very excitable and prone to violence pre apocalypse too, she just didn’t get to act on it then

- Has a sort of code? Idk. She doesn’t harm any one of your other roommates, even going so far as to care for the rat baby and feed it her blood, but she has nothing against barreling at Sam at full speed as the grinning beast to knock him on his ass. I think if she’d managed to catch and kill Sam, she’d be surprised at his death, like a dog playing with a small animal and accidentally killing it. Only seems to want to wrestle around really, probably doesn’t care as much about the killing part as she cares about the scuffling part

- Nearly had a fucking aneurism post denial ending, literally vibrating with excitement. Jumped on him and bit the shit out of one of his tentacles in an attempt to instigate a fight. Got scruffed by the collar of her shirt immediately

Post truth, I don’t think she realized anything was wrong until Sam started attacking the others. I think she got attacked first for approaching him and was like “ah! Right to business!” Held her own against him pretty well until he attacked someone else, which caught her off guard and made her falter for a moment and allow Sam the killing blow because she thought he liked that person? Why’s he strangling THEM??

- probably waits outside Sam’s door in the morning for him to open it, then tackles him to the ground and attempts to put him in a headlock. Sam now has to hype himself up to open the door every morning. Good for getting rid of grogginess though

RAT BABY AGAIN

- Obsessively licks itself. Literally everyone hates it because it’s just silence then the sound of rat baby aggressively licking its leg for five minutes straight. Mainly does this after Sam washes it, does not like the smell of any soap products used on it, no matter how hard Sam tries to find one it likes

- Chewed up a belt that was left laying around and hid in the closet for an hour while the others tried to calm the goth (can’t spell her fukcing name 😭) down and convince her not to strangle it like Homer with Bart

- Likes sitting on Sam’s shoulders and will attempt to get under his shirt. I had a rat once and its favourite hobby was swan diving down the collar of my shirt (if it was loose) and leaving me scrambling to catch it before it fell out. I feel like it’d be much the same

LAVA LAMP

- idk. I call it the lava lamp because it’s kinda shaped like one. Sister recommended calling it the buttplug because it’s also shaped like that and I’ve never been able to look at it again the same

- Chitters sometimes. Like you’re just chilling in the apartment, making food or some shit, then suddenly there’s a rattling sound from the corner and you turn to see one of Sam’s stalkers staring back at you like that sound was your fault

- Almost no concept of boundary’s. Watches Sam sleep sometimes after he tells it off and lets it stay in the apartment

- Doesn’t really comprehend the idea of fear? Idk. Like it let the rat baby into its robe and I feel like it got surprised when it ran out nearly pissing itself

Also counts for pain, doesn’t realize the hell it’s got in store for Sam because that’s it’s constant state, it knows nothing else and assumed Sam would be the same

Ahriugh, look outside headcannons upon ye

SAM

- possesses a pair of fluffy slippers and often wears them around the apartment.

- Really bad at kissing, like, did you HEAR the sound it made when he kissed Lyle in the game?? Motherfucker nearly sucked Lyle’s lens(?) off. Apparently Lyle doesn’t mind though

- Deals with OCD. Most of his repetitive habits and quirks are considered normal now next to how everyone else is acting and he is very grateful for it (from someone with chronic OCD)

- Hasn’t brushed his hair in years, keeps it short enough to where it’s not really a problem but probably fears the eventual day he has to deal with it

- trans man. I’m not gonna fuckin elaborate. Has gotten top surgery but cares not for bottom surgery, doesn’t really get dysphoric anymore now that his tits were lobbed off

RAT BABY

- Whenever Sam goes out without it, it’ll grab one of Sam’s slippers and drag it somewhere (likely under the couch or bed), doesn’t chew it, either sucks on the fur of it or just sits with it until it’s taken away or Sam gets back (inspired by my rat dog, reminded me of it)

- Sam attempted to get it something to play with at first, but after it destroyed and shredded everything he’d offered it in play, Sam just.. looted one of those aggressive chewer dog toys from one of the nearby apartments for it.

- Eyes are very sensitive to light, due to most of them being semi-freshly grown and also just.. not having enough time to get used to heavy light. Re-enacted the ash baby meme when it first went outside after the visitor left

LYLE

- Look up photos of spider paws. Hes got those hidden in that robe of his somewhere I just fucking know it

- Has a second row of teeth further back in his main mouth, irritates him sometimes while he’s trying to eat or clean his teeth.

(post denial ending) he’s hesitant on getting them removed despite having the ability to

(Idk, I feel like post-denial would end up with surgery for removing “unwanted parts”, shit like Jeanne’s heads or just stuff the afflicted don’t wanna deal with or have)

- Whenever he’s shocked or flustered, his body automatically takes a shot of whatever’s in front of him. I feel like if he ever got comfortable enough to let Sam kiss him without making him keep his eyes closed, he’d flashbang Sam every damn time

- capable of purring, doesn’t know it

DAN

- Screams like a little girl, refuses to admit it. Sometimes if he catches himself mid scream he’ll cough and continue the scream in a lower tone

- (If he’s looked outside) actually still mostly mentally there, just a cunt about it.

- Coughs like a little kid. Opens mouth, sticks his tongue out, and lets out the most horrific hack before casually going about whatever he was doing

JOEL

- His left eyes still there, just kinda in the back behind the teeth? Not too useful for actually seeing, due to both being in the back of his “throat” and becoming nearly vestigial. Had poor eyesight while he was human too, but refused to wear his glasses

- Very careful around rat baby’s mouth whenever he interacts with it, both because it’s a biter and because of what his baby sister ended up doing to him

- you know that anxiety you get whenever you’re in another persons house? had whatever the opposite of that when he was first moved in with Sam, literally fucking slept in Sam’s bed with him for the first few days because he felt safe around him/just lost his entire family. Hes eight, he’s gonna cling to the closest dude.
