#I know Kaeya's

[kaeyacollection]

Yo any Diluc Brainrotters out there?

I wanna make a longer post about Diluc's and Kaeya's dynamic with an interpretation I haven't really seen

Unfortunately the entire thing hinges on if Diluc has ever called Kaeya /anything/ other than his work titles

happy diluc day 🍓

free my boy he did it all but i forgive him

[elixrr]

the fall to rock bottom is a long way from here. he sits, contemplating. loving you was hardly a mistake— he loves you, he'll keep loving you, and he'll never regret it. you're the mountain that keeps him from falling back down; you're the steps on a ladder that keep him from tumbling down to the floor.

needless to say, you make him happy.

it was hard for him to realize at first, but when he did, he could never forget. you're a song in his head that he can't get out, but now he doesn't want it to ever stop playing. he stares at your face as you rest in your shared bed. you're beautiful, he thinks. you're in perfect peace. he's in perfect peace, too, all thanks to you. his eyes trail to your lips. it looks like you're smiling. it's subtle—it's quiet, but it's sweet. you're sweet. originally, he would've hated it, but the sugar—your sugar—is far more addicting than he anticipated.

he smiles at your smile. you're still asleep, but you're probably having a nice dream right now. it's early, and he doesn't have a real reason to be awake right now. the only thing keeping him up is how perfect you look with the dim lamp on. actually, even if the lights were off, you'd still be gorgeous.

he looks at the clock. it's 04:27. he looks over at the window, and through the subtly translucent fabric of the curtains, he sees the faint glimmer of the moonlight. he should probably be asleep, but he doesn't really care much about that. he doesn't have anything to do today, and he'd probably wake up thirty minutes after falling asleep, and then he'd do the exact same thing that he's doing right now: admiring you.

he sighs, reaching over to the nightstand and turning the lamp off. the moonlight passes through the curtain and rests on the carpet by the windows. it reflects from the carpet and onto him, illuminating his skin.

you secretly open your eyes. he's beautiful.

he sits and stares at his blanket-covered legs. he glances over at you, not realizing that you're awake. he smiles a little more. the fall to rock bottom is so far now, and he finally accepts the fact that he's never going back down. not alone. not without you reaching out for him.

he glances at you and admits to himself,

“I'm so glad that we're here. together.”

he shifts downwards and rests his head on the pillow, facing you with a yawn. his entire body sinks into comfort, and he gazes back at you. your eyes are finally open wide, and you're smiling really hard at him.

“I know, right? ”

he screams at you, jolting up, and he falls off of the bed.

ps: he makes sure that you're asleep every time he does this now (he stopped doing the monologuing for like a good month afterwards)

can we talk about that one cutscene where diluc kills an abyss mage about to attack kaeya. like, this man really just shows up completely out of the blue, wasnt even with us on this quest had no reason to know exactly where kaeya is, absolutely fucking MURDERS this abyss mage meanwhile kaeya standing casually completely unscathed next to the GIANT PLUME OF FLAME DILUC CAME IN WITH. and then diluc has the audacity to say "ugh the knights are so inefficient😒" like thats what this is about and he didnt just run halfway across mondstat cuz his big brother instincts were acting up

[the-last-butter]

HC they first met a year or two after Yelan got her vision; post fighting the in abyss but when Kaeya was still navigating his identity from Kaeya, Brother and Right hand of Diluc Ragnvindr to Kaeya Alberich, Cavalry Captain and Quarter master of the Knights of Favonius.

they’re so obvious to EVERYONE but each other that they care for the other i’m nauseousssss

[crowkip]

wips and doodles bc i dont feel like finishing anything atm lol

[heart-select]

tis a wip bc i wanna get to the end where its that one meme of doing a peace sign over a tombstone (youll get it if u see the lyrics)

anyways, song is 1985 by bo. i relistened to the deluxe recently and my stupid brain immediately started giggling at the idea and i just had to rot my way into doing atleast the start of it

[sunny-aster]

They're such wildly different examples of what an emotionally tired person looks like

[kaeyachi]

Kaeya, despite being a sickly and gentle child, was his own kind of nightmare for Crepus and the other Dawn Winery staff.

See, Diluc is prone to mischief and chaos, dragging along his younger brother and a couple of other children into his plots and messes.

But Kaeya? Kaeya is the type to end up in the most random, and I do mean most random, of places. He would vanish for several hours, only to be found in an unexpected location such as, oh let's say that one time, he was found eating fruit with some friendly hilichurls...IN LIYUE.

He was such a curious soul that would easily get distracted by the wonders of Teyvat, but since he is so silent in both words and movements, whoever is watching over him would lose sight of him just as quickly.

He has caused several search parties in his youth, only for people to find out he was following a seelie to a treasure chest or napping with a young wolf cub in Wolvendom.

Crepus swears that Kaeya and Diluc are competing on who can give him gray hairs the fastest (so far, Diluc is winning, but Kaeya sure is catching up with every scream of panic from a designated babysitter and Diluc)

Jean: "Please. PLEASE can you consider therapy"

Kaeya, who's about to throw himself into another mission that no one else knows about with so many backup plans to not jeopardize Mondstadt's safety but none that ensures his own : "No??"
