#edit: STOP LIKING THIS POST. LET IT DIE. #edit cont: tumblr will hide my creative posts from the tags but the comment I don’t want to spread gets in immediately. typical :/ #???????????? #not sure whether to take this at face value #bc there is a very long history of writers pausing mid-story to be like ‘uhh forget all the chemistry we’ve written up to now. obviously #these characters are close because they’re like ~brothers~ or ~sisters~’ and then go back to exactly what they were doing before #and never mentioning that again #so I’m reserving judgement until I see how things play out in more events #hyv has written characters who are siblings or who consider each other siblings or family before and they’ve been pretty clear about them #from the beginning. kaeya’s character stories explain that he and diluc are adopted siblings and shenhe’s demo before she was even released #says ‘surprise! she’s related to chongyun!’ #this tidbit feels way late and honestly reads to me like a retroactive censor dodge. anyway #I played act 1 and was like ‘oh hee hee cynonari and their daughter collei :)’ and then act 2 came along #and re: windblume like. the lore says some celebrate it as a festival of gratitude #and windblume 1 showed it could be a festival for family as well (barbara kaeya and diluc in the montage cutscene) #so I would assume there’d be enough ambiguity for them like with jeanlisa in windblume 1 #but I guess not?? #pika’s ramblings #genshin #genshin impact
