#you dont go through several temporary father figures and NOT develop some disdain towards them

[lvnesart]

This isn’t just Genshin, but I think I also notice PARENT or MENTOR figures in particular get criticized harshly sometimes, in what looks to me like a pattern. My guess is folks projecting their own issues with their parents. Which I personally understand, but uh lmao hc isn’t canon. Personally I think Crepus tried his best, but he probably had a bit of baggage that meant he had flaws. Sideeyes his delusion. But overall he probably earnestly loved Kaeya and Diluc as much as he could. It’d be nice if we got to know more about him, but getting personal details from Diluc and Kaeya is like pulling teeth.

I'm not gonna talk about the projecting part.

But I personally usually see Crepus and Kaeya's bio dad to be in the same boat sometimes. Crepus I go easier on cause we have some evidence of how he loved his boys and how much they loved him.

Kaeya's father is a little more difficult and yet sooo?? Easy to see? What we know of him comes from the perspective of a scornful child who grew up with this single and stagnant view of his father

But yeah, you're right. Getting anything about their dads from those two is,,, basically next to impossible because the daddy issues run DEEP
