Does Lanyon have Mind people in his mindscape 👁👁??? (Like maybe a Mind Jekyll, or a Mind version of his father 👁👁👁👁👁👁???)

HONESTLY I HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THIS TOO MUCH SO WE'RE GONNA DISCOVER THAT RN--

so, Jekylls mind people are both people that he idolizes for being the "perfect" depictions of the two things he wishes to be the most: a scientist and a gentleman. I mean, Frankenstein was literally his biggest inspiration to do what he did with his life, and Lanyon literally shaped how he saw high society and had a huge impact on his mannerisms.

Additionally, Jekyll already had the ability to sort of compartmentalize his mind, so as a side note, Lanyons mindscape would probably be far messier than Jekylls is. I feel Lanyon would also have far less issues with nightmares and such :3

Anyway, I guess the question to ask is: who does Lanyon idolize? Or, if he had any, would his mind people just be prominent people in his life that have made an impact in a specific ideology?

If Lanyon had a Mind Jekyll, it probably wouldn't be from idolization. Most of what Jekyll does just worries Lanyon, he knows Jekyll is just working himself into the ground, and Lanyon doesn't care much about the sciencey stuff. He also knows most of how Jekyll presents him self is all a facade, so he wouldn't idolize his "gentlemanliness". If Mind Jekyll was there, he'd probably be there purely because of how impactful his presence is on Lanyon's life and bc of how he loves him.

Otherwise, I could see Lanyon Sir having a mind form because of how he pushes Lanyon to work. Instead of out of idolization, his dad would be there as an example of who he absolutely does *not* want to be.

So, you know what? Verdict: Yeah, Lanyons mindscape probablyyy has the two of them. They'd probably also be a bit more unstable than the mind people in Jekylls mindscape, once again bc of Jekylls heavy compartmentalization and idolization. Also, it would probably be a very long time before Elias or Lanyon met them in any way, between Elias's hatred for the mindscape and Lanyons distrust of Elias, they don't tend to go in the mindscape much at all.

Thank you for the ask Mint, hehe >:33 ILY!!

:000000 How would Elias and Lanyon eventually react to the Mind People?? Would they tell Jekyll or Hyde about it :0???

(Imagine Elias tells Hyde about it and Hyde accidentally blurts out that he and Jekyll also have a Mind version of Lanyon–)

Honestly, I'm sure if Lanyon came across the mind version of his father they would fight 💀 and if he came across mind Jekyll he'd probably be really weirded out or concerned, bc you know that mf would probably either be working or doing something lowkey self destructive. But, ultimately, he'd fall quite comfortably into hanging out with him if need be.

OMG SIDE NOTE ACTUALLY, thinking about Lanyons mindscape itself: it'd probably be quite grand/fancy but very fragmented and messy. Okay hear me out, big ballroom section in his mindscape with a shit ton of faceless higher class people dancing and talking and such, since his whole life was built around high society. you can't really tell what the people are talking about, it just sorta comes out as gibberish, but yeah. Mind Lanyon Sir probably frequents it the most, just observing. Otherwise, he's working in his office or "cleaning up" the mindscape. Mind Jekyll will probably also frequent the ballroom a decent bit, flirting with the "women" and charming people in general. Otherwise he works in his office or is out and about doing science stuff or reading.

Anyways, Elias. Elias hates most everything about the mindscape, and the first time he meets mind Lanyon Sir, he probably tries to get validation or something and gets absolutely crushed. Mind Jekyll? Totally touch adversed and doesn't have much of an interest in Elias. He also just acts really weird, mainly bc Lanyons perception of Jekyll got skewed after the whole split was revealed. Also, the ballroom is absolutely horrid to Elias. All the "people" just kinda fill him with resentment and panic, in a strange way. The whole room freaks him out and he stays as far away from it as he can.

Honestly, Elias would probably have a break down after his first time in the mindscape, and if Jekyll or Hyde is around during that (if Lanyon is with one of them, perhaps) then he'd probably tell them, otherwise, he'd probably just try to forget about it tho.

Lanyon though? He'd definitely tell Jekyll, especially if he fought with the mind version of his father. Probably say something along the lines of "even in my own mind I cant escape his nagging" or some shit lmao.

AND JDKGKDK NO BC HYDE WOULD DEFINITELY LET IT SLIP AND MAKE SURE TO MENTION THAT THEIR MIND LANYON TRIED TO CUT HIS HEAD OFF 💀 Lanyon would probably be like "I like him then lmao" too, spiteful dramatic bastard (I love him hehe)
