#its like catradora was about the UNRESOLVED tension of belonging. catra never became family. thats like 80% of why shes so crazy

begging for you to elaborate on scara ships

scara's age used to be ambiguously young but it's clear in the text of his character quest he is a teenager. most scara/mortal ships are by default ignoring the text about his vulnerability as a rebellious teen and just going with what's cute and shippable to them which isn't like fundamentally bad (particularly for genshin where college aged men have little baby boy models) it just sucks ass.

i actually feel this way about kaeluc too. you are ignoring the entire structure of their fraught sibling relationship and the inherent tension between personal allegiances and the work that went into kaeya accepting his new family and thus the pain he feels in losing it and his resentment at diluc's lack of commitment to hating him yet the bond as strong as blood forcing them to be a part of each other's lives just some real jiang cheng wei wuxian family tier MESS and you're like "i dont care about that. i care about kissing. so im just gonna headcanon kaeya is the family ward." imagine getting super into a story like that and then ignoring 50% of what it's about so they can boink. i'd kill myself
