what my brother probably saw when i was dying from heat stroke

#DONT tag as ship #kaeya #diluc #shitpost #my art #genshin impact #hate older siblings #couldve maybe helped me out a bit … #but nooo apparently he just wants me 2 die #i guess ill just have to stay alive then . asshole

[valdrift]

one thing i cant get down with irt kaeya and diluc brother stuff is, not the fact that theyre brothers, but the fact that kaeya being a poc adopted into a white family isn't often explored. a lot is just kaeya being omg yay new family and immediately ditching old customs for mondstadts and Tbh i think it does his character a disservice when so much of him is abt his conflicting loyalties between khaenriah and mondstadt

#as a poc my cultural identity is very important to me #even if im not as fluent in the language anymore or i never got to practice some traditions its still important to me #and the idea of kaeya wholeheartedly abandoning his culture for his new (white) family leaves a bad taste in my mouth #also i have opinions abt the common take that kaeyas dad was a 1-dimensional abusive asshole (spoilers i disagree)

[oavrk]

sorry i really dislike when people say that Kaeya's biological father was an abusive asshole or whatever, it's clear as day that the decision of him leaving Kaeya in Mondstadt was not an easy one, you can feel the pain and regret in his voice on the Weinlesefest event, and he wouldn't have done it if he had any other choice.

#kaeya #its just so uninteresting to me to see him as a plain asshole that just hated his kid because whatever

Tired Cyro Dads 5/8

One day Kaeya and Klee go into the Fortress with Wrio for a tour, and Kaeya nearly has a fucking stroke trying to keep Klee from accidentally blowing the place up.

He doesn’t know how Albedo does it half the time--sure he does live on Dragonspine so if Klee blows something up it’s not like there’s anyone around that would be hurt

…unless we count poor Mika who has to remake the maps anytime Klee’s explosions change the landscape

Kaeya may look calm and cool all of the time, but internally he’s freaking the fuck out. His blood pressure has never been higher and honestly, if there wasn’t a child around, he’d have a drink on him.

He feels trapped down there, and that’s on childhood trauma

Wrio is having a blast, pun fully intended, during the tour, making some dry jokes here and there about the structure integrity

“oh I heard it’s raining on the surface, now if we feel rain down here that’s not a good sign :)”

He definitely somehow drips water on Kaeya’s head after Klee bonks into something a little too hard and absolutely loses his shit when Kaeya screeches and jumps several feet in the air

Cue a confused Klee, who has no idea what’s going on, but Wrio says it’s okay and he’s the best! So she trusts it’s okay, she’s not sure why Kaeya is on the floor though…

It’s alright, she gives him Dodoco to hold onto for safe keeping, which does help ease his mind slightly

(mostly because he’s not entirely sure if Dodoco is a stuffed animal or a bomb….knowing Alice it could be either)

They both like to mess with people for shits and giggles. It helps the day go by, you know

Given the Alberich Clan’s whole deal of “lead lives as those who blaze like fire, rather than those who wallow in the embers” and all of the other weird connections between Kaeya’s past/Khaenriah and fire, it’s really funny that Kaeya ended up with a Cryo vision. 

#genshin impact #kaeya alberich #kaeya #alberich clan #khaenri'ah #but not funny haha #funny weird #like #it's so fucking strange that someone with a massive amount of connections to fire is a cryo user #my immediate thought was that this was to symbolize Kaeya choosing to leave Khaenri'ah and the Alberich clan behind #but idk #it could also be just celestia being assholes #which tracks #they are famous for being assholes #it could also be that Kaeya in that moment was just 'wait fuck I don't actually wanna die rn' #and cryo would have been the most effective for that ambition #and I could ALSO be overthinking things #I am the champion of overthinking minor gameplay decisions

Kaeya: If you hurt my brother, I'm throwing you into the Abyss

Childe: Been there, it was lovely

#the fact that somehow Childe's time in the Abyss is not treated as the most terrifying bullshit ever #I don't care about your gods and your fallen civilizations #this kid went through Cthulhu's asshole and you're telling me all it did was make him a little more bloodthirsty? #anyway #chiluc #genshin childe #genshin impact #kaeya genshin impact #childe genshin impact

You've heard of 'people can't handle liking flawed characters and so they woobify them'. Now get ready for 'people try so hard not to be in the first category that they vilify them/make characters worse than they actually are in the name of nuance'.

#this is about many characters but rn it's mainly about five hargreeves #babygirl I've stanned more problematic characters than you can comprehend #and five has a shitton of flaws and has done loads of bad stuff #he's an asshole #but he's also not nearly as much of an asshole as a lot of you make him out to be??? #he can be insensitive but no more than any other character #and usually in dire situations (like he was an asshole to viktor about leaving sissy but they were on a time limit??? and he was- #-actually pretty understanding after their argument??) #he comforts allison in s1? he's understanding to luther? he berates lila about diego? he immediately goes with klaus on the road trip? #he doesn't tell viktor that he caused the apocalypse #a bunch of other stuff I can't remember rn #other characters this is about include utena tenjou #love love love anthy but some people try to put the blame on utena for forcing her perceptions on anthy #and put it on the same level as anthy manipulating lying betraying stabbing etc utena #will byers is a much lesser degree but yeah people try to make him. more flawed in everything that happened (the rain fight and rinkomania #fight mostly) #that boy didn't do anything wrong in either and that's okay #kaeya in that genshin rain fight also counts #unless he was actually goading/intending to make diluc angry and upset what did that boy do wrong??? bad timing to confide your secrets #but so what if he did??? #since a bunch of stuff is still pretty ambiguous i won't talk to much about #mostly talking about the fanon perception of the fight #but yeah #sometimes characters are just assholes and sometimes they're not assholes and it's okay either way

Wanderer, I swear to god i’m pulling her for the Mora discount.

No, no, listen to me.

Listen. To. Me.

You know how much Mora I saved on your passive? I was able to upgrade both you and Kaeya to Level 8 at once.

I’m sure you notice it. You hit 12k every damn time.

So, please.

Just…stop it.

Stop it. Stop interfering. You won’t change my mind.

Or i’ll be forced to throw you off this tree over and over again.

all due respect to enjoyers of this dynamic but "abusive parent crepus" is probably one of the worst concepts ive ever seen. sorry

#ugh im a crepus girlie #theres no reason to believe he was anything but a good father to both diluc and kaeya #of course. id love more in depth crepus depictions. instead of making him either the perfect father or an asshole abuser lmao #sighs. yeah #like for example i think he pressured diluc like. a considerable amount. the moment diluc received a vision crepus was like #I'M GOING TO MAKE THIS CHILD INTO EVERYTHING I WASNT CAPABLE OF BEING #i like to entertain that line of thought sometimes #i don't really have interesting kaeya and crepus dynamic ideas forgive me. this is shameful as an established kaeya blog

-rooftop of the knights of favonius building-

Kaeya: ... *looking at the stars*

Diluc: *climbing up the side of the rooftop*

Kaeya: ...well, if it isn't-

Diluc: *hugs Kaeya* just- shut up for a minute.

Kaeya: ... ... ... *hugs back*

Diluc: it's- it's just- one of these days-

Kaeya: it's okay.

kicks down the door  i WANT dainsleif & kaeya conflict that’s so complex they’re grasping at each other knowing they’ll tear like wet fucking tissue paper. kaeya the would-have-been prince of a kingdom long lost, a loss accepted by dain - & yet, kaeya as a symbol of some far-fetched rebirth. even though it will never be real--an acceptance so fully come to terms with, made peace with, that it makes of an idea some gentle soothe.                     never real because kaeya will absolutely                         never tolerate being used for that purpose. dainsleif, perhaps expecting the delusional puppet of the alberich clan — & kaeya, expecting as always to be doomed by any connection to his home country. any recognition by it. the biting, snarling conflict clad in a composure so controlled it will ache at the seams as they see in each other all the things they fear most, at least where related to khaenri’ah.

kaeya who wants nothing & yet everything; greedy for the light that flickers so rarely in dainsleif’s eyes - their weight upon him a thing not so difficult to dissect when the foundation of his response is well known. there’s no better way to get to know a man than to know him where he breaks.         kaeya, terrified. dainsleif, horrified.

& each the only place where that can be wholly understood.

#have i mentioned i love tenderness in the dark. only 23908349 times? oh good. #wishlist #hc ✦ kaeya #this is ur permit to come attack me with dainsleif things. no i don't care whether we're mutuals #GIB #perhaps dainsleif could pity the loss of self that might lay in store for kae OR kae has smth going on that protects him from it like dain #which makes a lotta sense?? like if dain does then uh. BUT. even if kae is protected then dain could offer that knowledge- #centuries of agony yes - but not a loss of s e l f. which is smth kaeya fears more than anything. #he's not been himself his whole life he just wants to someday get to that point #instead of even- hellishly -worse. #anyway there's just sm these fuckers could talk abt & they're such stubborn assholes there could be much enjoyable conflict. #GIVE ME DAINS OR GIVE ME DEATH #edit: what i'm also saying is kaeya getting decency from anything overtly khaen would be. kinda life altering ngl #dains does NOT at all come across manipulative #i don't mean he wouldn't ever i just mean... not for no real reason. & i don't think he'd go for tryina make kaeya be king etc etc that's #obvious right lol. so kaeya could just... be from his home country AND be his own person. that's wild lol that'd be a first

[random-blep]

I think it would be really hard to make Kaeya cry

So I think if somebody managed to do that I believe 100% Diluc would go head hunting

#only he can be an asshole to kaeya damnit #genshin impact #genshin impact headcanons #kaeya alberich #diluc ragnvindr

[cluescorner]

Some people: Kaeya’s bio father is an abusive monster who abandoned his son in order to achieve his own selfish goals. He is an evil man who deserves everything awful that might happen to him. 

Other people: Kaeya’s bio father did the right thing and leaving Kaeya in Mondstadt was the only way to give him a halfway-decent life. He is a better father than he is given credit for and should not be as hated as he is. 

Me: Kaeya’s bio father is integral to the general ‘war is hell and bad choices can reverberate across time’ thing that Genshin seems to be going for. He made unethical choices, but mostly because the ONLY OPTIONS HE HAD WERE UNETHICAL. If our understanding of the Alberich’s role in Khaenri’ah is accurate, General Alberich (my name for him until stated otherwise) was suddenly in charge of a hopeless and dead kingdom which begged to be saved. Assuming that there was a reason Kaeya specifically was chosen for this mission, General Alberich was forced into a position where he needed to choose between the lives/future of every Khaenri’an vs the life and future of his young son. Abandoning either is an awful thing to do and a horrible decision, but the bad decisions of Celestia and Rhinedottir have led to a scenario where General Alberich can only make bad decisions. In the end, he chose to prioritize his people and made his young son into a spy. We do not know the process for this, but knowing how much Hoyoverse loves to torment people (especially Khaenri’ans) we can assume that this process was horrific for Kaeya and could definitely be considered abuse. General Alberich is effectively making his son into a child soldier for a war that the majority of people never wanted or asked for, and one Kaeya was likely far too young to understand. At least, until he was forced to grow up far too quickly in order to fulfill his duty. General Alberich likely loathed everything about what was happening and even in his last moments with his son he asks for forgiveness. He knows that what he is doing is wrong, but to turn back now is to both abandon his subjects and make everything that happened to Kaeya in order to turn him into a child spy be for nothing. So yeah, General Alberich is a terrible person who made horrible choices. But war and the bad actions of others have created a situation where he has nothing BUT horrible choices and where being a terrible person is the only thing he can be. And that’s without considering how the curse/abyssal corruption could impact the scenario. 

#idk #I just think that Kaeya's father is kinda an Asgore situation #where the only decisions he could possibly make were awful and unethical ones but choosing neither would create an even worse outcome #also I want to clarify that both of the other interpretations that I parroted before giving my own thoughts are valid #because we are working with such limited information and yeah no shit people are gonna have differing thoughts #people have differing beliefs and perspectives on things which are CANONICALLY CONFIRMED to be clear situations with lots of info about it #so of course people are going to go in like 80 different directions with his character #BECAUSE WE HAVE NEXT TO NOTHING TO GO OFF OF #and basically every interpretation of him I've seen is pretty reasonable #Like yeah man's son is a child spy who was abandoned in a far away country for the purpose of being a spy for Khaenri'ah's interests #thinking that he was an abusive asshole isn't exactly unreasonable #nor is it unreasonable to believe that he was actually a decent man who left his son in Mondstadt as the 'only hope' of Khaenri'ah #because he just wanted Kaeya to live on and have a life outside of the Abyss #and Kaeya was mistaken when he thought he was simply being left behind as a pawn #Genshin is no stranger to unreliable narrators and this wouldn't be the first time a character story wildly mischaracterizes something #so like...both of those interpretations are valid #and pretty fair ones as well #But I think that it really is like an Asgore situation where yeah this guy sucks and he is an awful person who made so many bad choices #But also was left with nothing BUT bad choices through war and grief and other factors that were genuinely outside of his control #Sacrifice your son's childhood and happiness by forcing him to be a child spy and abandoning him in the middle of a deadly storm #or let your people (including yourself) rot away into nothingness while facing a fate worse than death while they all but scream to be saved #there are no good options #kaeya's father #don't take this too seriously I just really liked Undertale when I was younger and I'm getting Asgore vibes from General Alberich

[inanthesis]

I wanna ramble about Kaeya + relationships for a sec so here we go.

It’s no secret that the Knights of Favonius’ Cavalry Captain is a bit of a flirt. Everything about the way he carries himself says he enjoys being a tease from his lilted tone and charming words to the very way he saunters into any space like he’s meant to be the center of attention BUT, at the end of the day, Kaeya’s never been romantically involved with anyone. After the most important bond in his life was severed and seemingly permanently soured with the reveal of his true identity, Kaeya came to the very real and devastating but ultimately unsurprising conclusion he’s not a man who gets to have a happy ending so he’s always found there’s no use in trying.

Most of his personality is quite fake these days. It’s not that he’s unkind when he does genuinely care for others and the safety of all in Mondstadt, but beneath his smiles and devil-may-care attitude he’s deeply sad and lonely and feels like that’s all he’ll ever be when he fears letting anyone else know his true origin or the mission he was sent on by his kin.

There’s a part of him deep, deep down that is desperate for love and acceptance. A part that desires to be trusted and wanted and feel the warmth of a tender embrace that could thaw the thick layer of ice he’s had to build up around his heart, but it’s only in the dead of night after far too many glasses of wine he lets himself even begin to consider the thought. After all, there’s no way he can feel known if he does everything in his power to hide himself behind a carefully crafted facade he fears there may not actually be anything underneath.

#a necessary post to put out into the world at some point consdiering the ways he tends to get characterized in the fandom #Kaeya makes me sad any time I put more than 2 seconds of thought into thim #but also all of this doesn't even mention how he's kind of a sadistic asshole too #me with kaeya ships I love: kaeya pls let someone hold your hand #kaeya with a deeply rooted fear of being known: no ❤️ #KAEYA || hc
