Finally did Diluc.

His armor is a bit wonky but it’ll clean up sooner or later in the process.

I also have it so that after Dainsleif finds him a basically have it that him and Halfdan adopt him and shenaniganery ensues.

Dainsleif is like Kaeya’s tutor and sees how lonely he as the only kid his age in basically the entire castle, and so when they finally get all the paper work and stuff sorted he takes Diluc to one of their lessons and has them get to know each other and they hit it off.

So trouble making lonely kid Kaeya takes his new friend to go do some prank on a noble man or something and then the plot happens which i am currently figuring out but hopefully I‘ll make this into a full comic if I find the time, there’s a lot more I want to add and different characters I wanna swap around so this will decently become some sort of running thing here so stay tuned.

[axuanmii]

admit you ship incest dude. the cn/jp shippers say its incest. pick up a book and translate it, it says kaeya is adopted. .. and heres a long paragraph about how incest is only between biological families and more disrespect to people who are adopted...

no idea why my inbox didn't give me this notif until now, but now's a better time than any to talk more about this.

i'm chinese. i speak fluent mandarin chinese. i've consulted other native chinese speakers about this, both genshin players and unrelated. i play genshin with chinese audio and english subs specifically to catch and complain about inaccuracies. i'd reveal more information but then i think it'd be trivially easy to doxx me if one knew what they were looking for.

fundamentally, the issue of incest lies in physical reproduction, yet i find adoptive incestuous relationships discomforting all the same. it's why i didn't like or finish go ahead (以家人之名) because i felt that it laid too much into the siblings aspect for romantic relationships to be feasible, and it was super contradictory from the initial general message of the first bittersweet yet wholesome episode.

however, personally, i just don't think kaeya felt like a part of the family until crepus's death and he really reflected on crepus's actions towards him (hangout). and even after beginning to view crepus as a father figure, he wouldn't have so shallowly made the transition for diluc to be his brother by adoption and consequently changed his entire mind about the guy (which you can see with the way he chooses to refer to both men with different terms, one adoptive and familial, one very clearly 'sworn', very consistently throughout the whole game. if that ever changes in chinese, well, at least you can know that i'll make a post about it if i still care about genshin by then.)

the localization team does make plenty of serious mistakes, and it's of my opinion that as a result, it has very clearly skewed character relationships with those mistakes, (cynari and collei, eulamber, some npcs in liyue, sumeru) some from cultural differences, some just from lazy translation overall. there's layers of complexity in how chinese utilizes honorifics and affectionate terms, as well as contextual consideration between fiction and reality, and sometimes i feel like the english localization team just threw it all into google translate and called it a day.

i don't even ship kaeluc that much. i like to call it the secret third thing where they can't get off their asses to talk about anything ever so they exist in an undefined space and to have them return to any semblance of a healthy relationship, platonic, familial, or romantic, would require a novel's length worth of development that hoyoverse will probably never write, and so my brain has made up novels of all three kinds and more.

however, i also don't care about people who do ship kaeluc or treat any other fictional media in an incestuous or otherwise problematic manner, regardless of language or culture. this is because i operate on a "don't like, don't read, don't interact" mindset. it makes being in fandom more fun; you should try it.

my disappointment wasn't aimed at the fact that i think too little people ship kaeluc. it just sucks to see people claim that that's what's wrong with the fandom and spin this evil gross imagery around the ship over a misunderstanding, especially when that's not how i view it. it's also the only thing vehemently regularly repeated ('klcers dni') when there's so many other issues with the game and the fandom.

(off topic but what's the worst thing that'll happen if a kaeluc shipper likes your fan stuff. it's not like they come into your tumblr asks to bother you with an "oh btw you're wrong about how you enjoy this media and this is what's right"-- oh wait that's what's going on here right)

including the fact that people like you purposefully go around searching in the kaeluc tag (which you probably did, because nobody is scrolling that far back in my blog to find this one specific post to complain about) to police and pick fights with people over a stupid issue from 2020/2021. i guess tumblr isn't a safe place to talk about kaeluc either lmao.

and to think i left anon asks on in the hopes that it could be an inbox for anyone who wanted to ask me art questions or just leave something positive and not feel too awkward (where do i get the confidence in thinking anyone would ask my incompetent brain for help lol).

to be fair, it's going to be my fault for continuing to draw attention to this by responding to such an ask instead of just deleting it and moving on but fuck it we ball.

this ended up pretty long but i feel like it would've been too rude to just say "会说中文的干嘛要翻书 :P". probably would've been funnier though and saved me a lot of time. kudos to you if you actually read this and read through everything.

final note:

A Stormy Day At The Winery

Note: This is not a ship ( Kaeluc shippers DNI )

Angst/Comfort

Tw: Mention of death and there are some cheer up tickles in this.

So if you don’t like either don’t read

Hope you enjoy!

It was a stormy day in Mondstadt, and much to the brothers' dismay, they were stuck inside with one another at the Dawn Winery. What was supposedly Kaeya’s short visit to ask Diluc about the recent appearances of the “Dark-night Hero” seen back in town turned into something more. Kaeya wanted to know everything about why his brother was doing it again. After all, it had been a while without any attacks on the town from the Abyss Mages and Hilichurls for it to reoccur once again. Kaeya wanted to team up with Diluc and get to the bottom of the issue like last time. However, Diluc didn’t seem keen on the idea of using his younger brother’s aid for something he could easily deal with on his own.

What they hoped would be a short discussion turned into multiple hours before dealing with Kaeya, which extended into the next day. The thunder was the only sound between the two brothers as they sat near the fireplace until Kaeya finally spoke up.

“Why do you believe you’re the only one who lost someone the day Father died?”

Diluc looked irritated but stayed quiet, not wanting to engage in a conversation that would lead to a pointless argument. But Kaeya continued to speak.

“I had lost Father, but I also lost someone else—my older brother. I want him back!”

Kaeya got up, walked over to Diluc, and grabbed him by the collar flaps of his coat as tears welled in his eyes. “So please…bring my older brother back.”

Diluc stood there, the irritation on his face transforming into guilt and sadness as Kaeya clung to him in tears. It was dead quiet, aside from Kaeya’s sniffles, until Diluc finally spoke up, his hand hesitantly resting on Kaeya’s back, his mind racing to consider what to do. Out of every possibility that could have happened tonight, this was one he hadn’t even thought about.

“I’m sorry.”

Diluc started to rub Kaeya’s back in an attempt to comfort him, but when his fingers barely touched where Kaeya’s ribs were, he felt his younger brother jolt and pull away with a yip, making Diluc worry if he had hurt him.

“Are you okay? Did I touch an injury?”

Kaeya shook his head no, wiping his tears away, his cheeks painted pink with embarrassment. He needed to find an excuse for his reaction without making Diluc worry further.

“No, you didn’t. I just…didn’t expect it.”

Diluc raised a brow in curiosity, easily catching Kaeya’s lie as he put two and two together.

“Really, are you sure? Maybe I should check. You know, injuries can get bad if they aren't acknowledged.”

Kaeya started to step back, his face completely flushed with embarrassment. His mind raced to figure out a way out of the situation. Much to his dismay, Diluc stepped closer to Kaeya, resting his hand on his shoulder, a mischievous expression plastered on his face.

“Diluc, I swear I’m fi-hihine! It was- nohohoho!”

Kaeya practically screeched with laughter as Diluc’s fingers quickly started to spider and skitter on his ribs, making Kaeya wriggle and squirm in a half-hearted attempt to escape.

“You’re still very ticklish, Kaeya! How have you not grown out of such a childish thing?”

Diluc teased as his fingers climbed to Kaeya’s armpits, making him squeal and snort. “Br-brohohohther! Stohohohop ihihit! Ahahaha!”

Kaeya had tears of laughter down his cheeks as he shoved his way out of Diluc’s hold, causing him to hit the floor.

“Oww-heheh! That was uncalled for. Diluc, I should get you back for that!”

Diluc huffed a half chuckle and rolled his eyes as he helped Kaeya off the floor and onto the couch.

“Can’t have the Cavalry Captain crying on me now, can I?”

Kaeya chuckled before hugging Diluc. “Thanks, I needed that.”

ships i like and why i ship them: a small, affectionate rant before bed

zhongchi: probably the first ship i ever interacted with. i may have started playing genshin for them. I specifically remember reading modern, non canon au fics on ao3 when i was still low AR and did not have liyue unlocked yet just to enjoy content of them without spoiling the story too much. those were good times

love the betrayal, the reciprocated manipulations, their individual bloody pasts and their juxtaposing love for humanity/family. the marriage chopsticks. god, the amount of threads I've read explaining those... and ofc you can't forget the official art with them by the harbor with the gingko leaves falling cinematically. i think that's the art that drew me to them lol

there's also something so deliciously tragic about a near-immortal being who's fated to succumb to erosion in due time, falling in love with a mortal man who's always within death's cold embrace. not to mention the subtext of their themes and principles. geo and hydro, stability and turbulence, land and sea, they crystallize when they meet in the middle, etc etc

kaeluc: another pairing I enjoyed the absolute shit out of, way back when I wasn't even playing the game yet. I remember learning about them while I was deep in my mxtx phase, specifically tgcf, and I'm pretty sure I dipped my toes in after I learned that they used to be sworn brothers. keywords here being used to. hook, line, and sinker. before I knew it, I was also reading fanfics about them, but only modern, non canon au ones because genshin terms made no sense to me and i didn't want spoilers. then I played the game. and then—we get Kaeya for free. I mained the shit out of that man for months.

and then. I fully entered the fandom, only to be immediately slapped in the face with the mistranslation issue.

and I get it, honestly, if you like ragbros good for you, I'm happy for you, but me personally, I will scorn hyv until the day I fucking die because had they not messed this up? kaeluc would've have been so powerful. KAELUC WOULD HAVE BEEN SO FUCKING POWERFUL

how could they not be? they're childhood friends but they're also forbidden romance coded, and rivals/enemies coded, but they're also soulmates. they don't just know each other, they're two halves of a whole, they know each other.

and the themes, don't even get me started on their themes. fire and ice, red and blue... paimon's line about them being similar (i.e. kaeya's a shady mf who fights in the day/diluc's a bright fire in the night) is one of the most romantic lines ever. they're sun and moon but only because they complete each other. also, lamp grass and calla lily? that's them as flowers, but they're the other person's ascension material like hello???????? fucking wild.

and ofc this kaeluc section can't end without me mentioning arundolyn and rostam. for those who don't know or have read/heard of those names but never really dug deep into it, arundolyn and rostam were knights of favonius around the same time as the cataclysm, and you can read about them in artifact sets such as brave heart, defender's will; and partially from the elegy bow

the reason they're here is because there are too many damn parallels between them and kaeluc to just be a coincidence.

arundolyn was a claymore user (see: ferrous shadow), he was the "lion of light,"; he was naturally gifted in strength but still trained hard and would later become the grand master of the knights; he'd push rostam to drink wine and tell him to have a little fun; he gives up his title and weapon after rostam dies

on the flip side, rostam was the swordsman who created the art of favonius bladework (see: favonius sword), his title was, "wolf pup,"; when he and arundolyn played as children, he was the stand-in for the champion knight of aristocracy; he "ruled the shadows," by protecting mond with ways the knights did not approve; rostam dies in an expedition to expunge the evils poured forth from the cataclysm...

I'll let you connect the dots there. I just also wanna point out, as a final note, that in the favonius sword's description, it says, "the childhood friend and spiritual counterpart of Arundolyn, the Lion of Light, whose name was Rostam, the Wolf Pup." ok. yeah. moving on

xiaoven: i very quickly realized after reading the genshin webtoon that venti was gonna be one of, if not my most favorite character. and i was curious as to who the people wanted to pair him with. keep in mind, this was around 2.0~2.2 I believe, so when I searched them up, the only canon backing I could find was the music scene

and boy, was that scene enough because holy shit, the brain rot these two gave me??? of a god who embodies freedom, and the last remaining yaksha chained to his duty????? they were so thematically opposed and beautiful, it wasn't hard to fall in love with them

by the time 3.0 came rolling in, I've already stopped playing, but that didn't mean i wasn't aware of how we were well fed by canon. from the trailer to venti full on attending the lantern rite and sitting down with the liyue gang; it was one of those interactions that transcended everything

and of course, OF COURSE, they also canonically addressed the fact that venti's music soothes xiao's soul. that's intimate. that's deep. that's so fucking romantic and nice and beautiful in the most tragic way...

also, we can't forget the depictions of god and servant here. the holy themes, the worship. the promise of immortality and foreverness, but also the threat of it. i just think xiao doomed with karmic debt and venti vowed to divine erosion is such a soulmate connection, and I'm also delusional

that's all for now but there's so much more...

[nonbinarylocalcryptid]

Fanfics I need to read so bad that I'm probably gonna write them myself Thanos style:

-Alhaitham damsel in distress/BAMF Kaveh (come on, let's have something different, stir the pot a little)

-Alhaitham/Kaveh The Mummy Au (do you see my vision???)

-Diluc travelling the world visionless during those funny years after his 18th birthday feat. pen pal!Kaeya (not kaeluc) (I'm a sucker for their brotherly reconciliation)

-Young Justice season 5 with the usual timeskip, Jason's story, Wally comes back and Damian enters the scene

-A character study of Jason Todd feat. a telepathic oc who doesn't like Batman but gets adopted anyway because why not (and it would be funny as hell)

-A TMA fanfic with a time travelling oc who resets the timeline until he gets everyone a Happy Ending™

-Epic The Musical/The Odyssey but Odysseus keeps the baby because bless this mess

[lightcassian]

My genuinely, favourite fanfics.

Unfortunately, his plan did not account for Kaeya.

It amused Chris, in a morbid sort of way, that Wyatt fought for evil with honour, whilst he fought for good in disgrace. It was enough to make him wonder if maybe Wyatt was right after all, and there weren't any such things.

Diluc had left Mondstadt on his own about two months ago. He left, telling everyone he would be back in a month. But he couldn’t go back. Not as he was. He had started losing track of time, and the days blended together. At least that was the case until late into the night, when he heard a familiar voice,

“Diluc?...”

Hey guys can somebody like help me figure something out

So i've seen people ship Gallagher and Sunday which is weird to me because during the quest Gallagher calls him "my brother" like "brother" is even bolded

And we know Sunday and Robin are adopted so I was like well shit he could be his sibling but then Sunday says this:

Which implies Gallagher is an imposter right and maybe not actually his brother? Gallagher follows this revelation up by saying he underestimated Sunday.

Gallagher's voicelines don't help at all either

They're very clinical and distant.

I just wanna know like are they siblings or is Gallagher lying? I'm really confused and just wanna know so I know how to interact with the shipping content and avoid another Ragbros situation (who I don't ship, Kaeluc shippers begone you are not welcome) because that's a headache already.

Also please be civil thanks

[vi-19-dam]

“The journey to Teyvat”

[babygirlkaeya]

Folgers Coffee commercial but Kaeluc style

DOES THIS FUCKING SUFFICE. ^ ao3 link up there full fic down here.

386 words, you are not getting anymore out of me.

Kaeya was not-so-patiently patiently waiting for the return of his..'brother.'

As Diluc got out of the taxi that drove him home (having no car of his own), Kaeya was eagerly awaiting at the window, watching as Diluc walks up the steps.

Diluc's hand was hovering over the doorknob, but before he could get a chance to even try and open it, Kaeya rushed from the window to the door to open it for him.

"Oh.." Diluc looks up at the door frame, "..Must have the wrong house." A grin grows on his face. Only occasionally will the redhead ever be smug like this.

An even larger grin grows on Kaeya's face, as out of stupidity, or excitement or not getting Diluc's joke; he points at himself and says "Kaeya!"

The two, just happy to see each other rush their bodies into a hug, a very squeezed hug.

"Oh, I missed you so much." Kaeya states as the energy of the hug dwindled down.

As the two walk through the entryway of the house and to the kitchen, Diluc takes off his coat, putting it aside.

"He waited up all night for you to return, you know" Kaeya said with a smile, knowing full well Crepus is dead asleep this morning. There's no way he got up in time for Diluc's return.

"Long way back" Diluc makes his way to the coffee maker, "Hmmmm, Coffee.." whatever noise came out of his mouth before 'coffee' was not voluntarily on Diluc's part. He did miss the taste of caffeine.. but maybe not that much

"I got you something from when I was away." Diluc pours his coffee and miraculously pulls a gift box out of. somewhere. to hand to Kaeya. who is now sitting on the kitchen counter for some reason.

"Really?" There's something to Kaeya's voice. That faux honeyed tone. "Aw!" as the gift drops in his lap, the action of Diluc giving him something is the cute thing.

Kaeya stares at the gift for a second, then at Diluc's torso. A cat like expression grows on his face.

He grabs the bow from the gift box and sticks it unto Diluc's shoulder.

"What are you doing?" Diluc's still reeling from being home so he cant pretend to be grumpy about it.

"You're my present this year 🥺"
