My Theory on Kazui's Parent's.
Q: Is there a meaning behind your name?
A: It's cause I'm the eldest son. It seems like my father was also wishing I'd be "a strong man."
The wording of Kazui's answer here really makes me think. We know that Kazui is strong. He defended Fuuta against Kotoko and even talks about having "never gone up against a woman [like her]" in his VD, implying that he has gotten into fights before (most likely at work - either in the field or in training.)
It seems like, to me, Kazui has parents with very traditional views. Kazui's father wishing that he would turn out to be "a strong man" could imply that he places value on the old-style gender roles in family or society in general. Yes he most likely thinks that being strong physically is important, but also being strong mentally. A 'normal' man who doesn't cry, doesn't show emotain. A man who provides for his family and sticks to tradition, simple as. A son who does what's expected of him - that kind of strong.
~~~
I also think the way Kazui talks is linked to his family's old-school beliefs. Despite only being 39, Kazui always refers to himself as an "old man" and says things like "when your mature/older like me," etc. It's a bit odd, though it might be a cultural thing. Kazui does call himself immature though, so for a man who believes he has only grown up in terms of his age and not his mind, he puts an awful lot of weight on what it means to be an adult. Can you see where I'm going with this? Yup it's back to his strong man comment baby!!!
In that previous qoute Kazui says how his father was also wishing he'd be a strong man. I think the other person Kazui is referencing might very well be himself. I think if Kazui has been taught these old school gender-roles since he was a child, then he might hold alot of weight to them. He wouldn't know any different if that was all he heard about what it meant to be a man as a kid, and therefore wants to live up to that expectation his parents hold of him. He, however, quickly learns that he is not this way and internalises it as something being wrong with him, something that isn't normal that he must fix. Which brings me to my next point...
~~~
I think that Kazui's family are more important to understanding his crime then we may think based on what's been shown to us so far, and I'd even go so far as to say that their beliefs might've been a very big reason/the reason on why Kazui felt the need to lie and marry Hinako.
If we take a situation where Kazui has very traditional parents who want him to grow up quickly, get a nice job and settle down young, it might make sense on why he felt obligated to marry Hinako. In Half he talks about how he's confused on why he doesn't feel happiness in their relationship, as "isn't this what happiness is?" I believe these ideas came from Kazui's parent's. That perhaps they unknowingly (or full knowingly) drilled the idea into his head that a perfect looking couple such as he and Hinako is the ultimate true love, the true happiness, and that he should follow in those steps if he wants to be happy and successful as it in turn will also make them happy and proud of him.

Happy Birthday, xiansheng ;y
(or alternatively, Venti’s fanfic lol)
fun fact: I had to fight the Childe weekly boss multiple times to figure out what Zhongli’s charge attack sounds like upon impact.
fun fun fact: this story actually has a sequel gag relating to the boss drop (haha), but i’m too tired and got other projects to move on to, so maybe I will draw it later. ;yyy
That’s it for my dumb gags involving Childe, thanks for being a part of this ride. I’m finally gonna move on to a more “serious” involving Noelle and Diluc in January, so uh look forward to that I guess. ;w;

maybe this is just a curse of the circles i find myself in on this internet but some people will jump in with a QUICKNESS to talk about how much they dont like "popular" lesbian music and how there arent any good lesbian musicians that aren't just depressing and they DONT want to hear about muna or chappell roan and they for sure need you to know that they dont want to hear any of that shit at the club. and along with the insane backlash or just blatant ignoring of dyke media (esp when it does have to do. with sex.) it's like damn you people really saw some lesbians having fun for once and decided you needed to make it your problem expeditiously. you said shut that shit down. christ!

despite my initial befuddlement over how toh fandom interprets luz and hunter's relationship, my experience so far has ended up largely positive. when i first finished the show and ventured into the tags i was "??????" about all the "siblings" content bc i did not get that at ALL from them & also they do not share genetics or a guardian or an upbringing in any way shape or form. then i discovered that the sibling content is pretty much all just qpr content packaged as a traditional familial dynamic & i was like "oh. OHHHHH OH. OH. OK. I CAN WORK WITH THIS"
catch me three months into hyperfixation now having written 50k of luz & hunter undefined-relationship fic where they're literally the clingiest most neurotic people alive and luz has repeatedly tried to get hunter to move into her room with her and hunter has had a complete nervous breakdown about how bad he wants to be able to sleep next to her all the time and luz has crawled on top of him to be a human weighted blanket and their respective guardians keep referring to the other kid as "my kid's boy" "my kid's human" and they're ride-or-die forever
in an ordinary fandom i'd have gotten at least SOME pushback by now from people accusing me of being a monogamous hetshipping psyop (ronanessy flashbacks) but instead here i've received literally NO comments interpreting their relationship as romantic, but Several interpreting them as siblings
and i'm like. this relationship could not be further from my experiences with my own actual siblings, hence my utter mystification, but. you know what?? yeah alright sure. the ability to write qpr affection that's automatically interpreted as a strong committed life partnership without needing to defend it to weirdo circlejerkers is like. Totally Worth all of my bemused "wait. do you guys like..... know..... that people.... often have lifelong relationships that aren't.... romantic.... OR Literal Blood Family????"
