#ROSAKAE MENTION

[n-dreadful]

⠀Rosaria and Kaeya are the type of couple to help with each other's suicide, and you can't convince me otherwise.⠀

I’m pretty new to kaeya ships and I want to know how Kaebedo appeals to you!! /This isn't a sarcastic question I promise 😭

So far, the only ship I get is Rosakae because haha bi couple/girl that says bruhh x guy that says hiii

Do you have any recommended kaebedo fanfics? Thank you <33

i think the biggest appeal of kaebedo to me is the parallels between them. both are from khaenri'ah and were abandoned by a parent figure with an unclear mission on their shoulders and ended up finding a home in a place they fear they will have to betray one day. even without a romantic lens there is SO much potential here!!! they must know of each other's secret to some degree, there's no way they don't. they could form such a deep connection based on these shared origins. let them bond hoyoverse!!!!

its insane to me that kaeya and albedo have never exchanged more than five words in game when theres so much material to work with here.. especially because they DO know each other! the game tells us that! kaeya has an "about albedo" voiceline (Albedo, eh? Calm, collected, and incredibly talented. He's the type everybody likes, some even more so than others. What, you into him as well?), albedo doesnt have an "about kaeya" voiceline but he does mention him in one of his "more about albedo" ones (The time required to sketch portraits closely correlates with one's mood. I could spend half a day sketching Huffman, while I might only need three strokes of the pencil to sketch Kaeya — one for the face, one for the eyepatch string... and one for the eyepatch.) and, actually, pairing that with this

from a past event i think we can say it's implied that albedo draws kaeya fairly often. kaeya seems to babysit klee frequently, which is all the more chance for them to get to know each other more..... they live in the same region and have so many themes in common LET THEM TALK! LET THEM TALK!! kaebedo as a ship is kind of built from the ground up with just minimal canon content and our wild imaginations but hey. the potential is right there. also i think they look cute together. anyway, fanfic recs, you say? i have some<3

Calcium, Carbonate, and Other Things That Run Bone-Deep by Princeliest

Albedo comes knocking at Kaeya's office door, and asks Kaeya to kill him. All in all, it's the worst falling-in-love experience that Kaeya has ever had. (Albedo fears a lot of things. He's never reached out for help with any of them, but he's also never had anyone see him and reach out first.)

this is genuinely one of the best fics ive ever read in my life it's SO good. i kept rotating it inside my mind for days afterwards. and the kaebedo dynamic here is one of my favorite renditions of it too!!!!! like they cannot live through a normal love story it has to be weird when they are both involved. and this fic executes the brand of weirdness i expect from kaebedo perfectly. the characterization for both of them was really good. warning for some body horror but if you're okay with that it's part of the charm in this fic i really enjoyed reading those parts

this wordless dance, in the night by untunedviola

“I don’t want to talk about it,” Kaeya mutters into Albedo’s chest. Albedo pulls him closer. Gentle fingers thread through his hair. “You don’t have to.” He sighs. “I know.” Kaeya’s relationship with his mother tongue, his family, and Albedo develops in fits in starts.

i just reread this while searching through recs on my bookmarks and!!!!!!!!! this is THE kaebedo relationship study EVER. it's so good. its more focused on kaeya since it's from his point of view but albedo is a central crucial part of it. it explores their connection to khaenri'ah and the connection they could have with each other because of it SO well it's really amazing! the angst is delightful i love this one.

and you should check out this author's other works!! seriously the way they write kaebedo is like the best ever. i havent read all of them but the ones i have read were immediate favorites. untunedviola if youre out there

The Curious Investigation on the Investigation Captain by evesbeve

“This is not an invitation to spoil me,” Albedo says through a bite, a hand over his mouth. “As you have with Klee.” “I have no idea what you are talking about," Kaeya laughs. “Although… would it really be that bad, if I wanted to take care of you?” (Or: When Sucrose mentions that she's been worried about Albedo and his constant cases of zoning out, Kaeya takes it upon himself to investigate the situation.)

a lighter, fluffier work to make up for the angst of the previous recs. so sweet youll get cavities honestly. works to read while giggling about how much you love these silly little characters. bonus ragbros and other mond characters. really nice read!!!!

i wish i had more recs but i really dont. i need to read more about them honestly.

im deeply sorry for taking like three months to answer!! many such cases im afraid. i hope my kaebedo propaganda has worked on you or anyone else reading this

[hematomes]

if your still doing character asks: diluc and kaeya

diluc!!!

Sexuality Headcanon: aroace pan

Gender Headcanon: ftm ftm ftm ftm

A ship I have with said character: not rly attached to any tbh

A BROTP I have with said character: zhongli, solely bc the brewer event almost offered us the weirdest, tamest interaction ever. they drink tea together idc

A NOTP I have with said character: jeanluc... yikes. mostly bc i don't see any chemistry personally. like.. at all

A random headcanon: he has a small peacock feather tattooed on his wrist

General Opinion over said character: i love him so much and i wish he wasn't this emotionally constipated but it's also parts of his charm so it's okay. im also fixating on the cn interpretation of kaeya & diluc's relationship bc i like studying translations and this case is one of the most interesting in genshin specifically bc it varies wildly from one version to another and it's been translated from cn to jp before even reaching eng, and then most of the other languages use the eng translation as a base so it's BOUND to be lost in translation. but it just ends up sparking sterile debates and shit

kaeyaaaa

Sexuality Headcanon: bi icon ngh

Gender Headcanon: also ftm >:)

A ship I have with said character: kaecrose kaecrose kaecrose kaecrose <333 also kaebecrose bc they all have two hands. AND rosakae. bi icons

A BROTP I have with said character: rosaria as well WOOO. also childe

A NOTP I have with said character: kaebedo on their own like the ship isn't bad but the shippers have effectively ruined it for me

A random headcanon: he has a phoenix feather tattooed on his wrist :]

General Opinion over said character: i love him and desire him both carnally and emotionally. he is criminally underrated as anything other than a sweet piece of tatas and that makes me sad bc ok he has amazing tits but he has more to offer ok. no ass, tho. also same thing that i mentioned w diluc, it's a pity bc we could explore their relationship but alas

[falthiere]

Kaeya for the hc thing......

sexuality hc: the most bisexual man alive we love to see it gender hc: cis male but trans ftm headcanons are cool as well ships: i like a lot of kaeya ships... all of my friends' selfships with him are the most valid and true and real (my uncle works at mhy so i can verify) but also i like rosakae... kaebedo is also pretty cool brotp: rosakae is also based as a brotp duo notp: do i have to say it random hc: oh god im so bad at headcanons. um. uhhhhh. idk if this is anything but even though i know he says grape juice is his least favorite food i think he probably enjoys all things summer (so fruity drinks and popsicles and all that jazz) just bc it's his favorite season general onion: probably one of the best charas in the game imo. he is funny and cool and also extremely sad sometimes (thinking abt him for more than .2 seconds will destroy you). the game deserves to give him more love (and screentime outside of diluc interactions). also where is his skin. amber got one (kinda) and lisa is getting one Where Is Kaeya's

also in terms of actual gameplay hes basically the only one out of the starter 3 that actually rlly holds up so good for him!! also obligatory balls mention

[sunnychaiup]

Kaeya @ Rosaria: lol so true bestie *makes out with her*
