The Abyss Sibling’s memory loss lead to them having to choose between blood family(MC) and the family they’d come to love(Khaenri’ah). Don’t you think that’s awfully similar to Kaeya’s situation? I hope we get a satisfying conclusion to Kaeya’s arc, where he doesn’t have to lose too much (please don’t die please don’t die please don’t die), and that’s the experience the MC builds off of to both get their sibling back and save Teyvat.

Also, I really enjoy reading your blog posts, I hope you’re having a lovely day :)

oho?? a couple of asks ago, I said...

5.7 AQ spoiler below

...that what if fate was cruel enough to have someone take away Kaeya's memories because they demand that he join Khaenri'ah, and he said no?

Since the beginning, Kaeya and Diluc's story ran parallel to the traveler's and their twin... is there really a high chance of this happening?

Alternatively, if history repeats itself, would Kaeya choosing Mondstadt be a mistake? If fate demands it to happen, could Kaeya ever have a chance to save both?

I still believe in a happy ending for Kaeya though, no matter what happens in between (and if not a truly happy one, then I hope it is, at the very least, bittersweet)

Also thank you so much anon for the kind words 🥺 damn, you guys really are making me feel waaaay better after a rough day.I do hope you're having a wonderful day too!!

I saw this post and almost choked on air: https://www.tumblr.com/yaeggravate/786947856691068928/dainsleif-and-kaeya-were-there-they-didnt-change?source=share

Thought I should share it with you

THAT'S THEM

THAT'S THE DAINKAE DYNAMIC

[kaeyachi]

(5.7 aq spoilers!!) how do you think kaeya will react to the whole “new kaennriah” thing? like, i keep thinking about mona’s voiceline about how he “thinks he’s made a clean break with his past” but in reality he hasnt,,,

Tagging this ask as a 5.7 spoiler, so i hope y'all have already set your blocked tags right people!!

You know how hoyo has been giving him the past couple of years some peace and happiness? Maybe having him let his guard down a tinsy bit? How his birthday letters all started out very angsty, but lately, he sounds happier?

Well... all the better for hoyo to topple all of that healing down with 1 bad news after another, am I right? 😈

I bet he is going to feel conflicted. I mean, he kinda already is? Because whether or not this is what his father intended for him, he still feels a sense of responsibility for Khaenri'ah. You best bet that after all this time, I still believe that Kaeya is trying to figure out how to have the best of both worlds and have Mondstadt be safe and Khaenri'ah restored.

After the 5.7 AQ Mona's voiceline about him started to make better sense too. Kaeya wouldn't do anything that would harm Mondstadt, so we kinda questioned the idea of him being conflicted somewhere down the line, but after what our twin managed to achieve?As long as helping the Abyss Order to restore New Khaenri'ah isn't going to harm Mondstadt, why wouldn't Kaeya dare try to help, right?

And gosh, this would also open him up to doubt and suspicion... He has told only Diluc (as far as we know) about how he is intended to be a sleeper agent/spy/pawn (depending on the language). What would Diluc think once he catches wind of New Khaenri'ah? Are he and Kaeya in good enough terms right now to compensate for the upcoming doubt and confusion?

I havent played genshin in ages but as a former kaeya main i appreciate ur existence everytime u pop into my dash 🫂

aaaaw, thank you so much! 🥺 this warmed my heart. I'm glad my posts manage to make moves to even a very small portion of the kaeya** fandom (edited to specify lmao)! fairly sure I've read some fics that made me wonder if I gave that food for thought to that author hahaha

really though, a big thank you also to all of you who keep interacting with my posts! im fairly sure i memorized your usernames by now. sometimes i await your arrival to hear your thoughts 🤭

[kaeyachi]

Tbh, Kaeya gives me human sacrifice vibes. Please please please, let him not be a human sacrifice. Or a sacrifice of any kind, really.

honestly? with how he is talking? its as if he will be forced into a situation somewhere along the way

I do have a thought though

a bit of a 5.7 aq spoiler

i was thinking how cruel fate would be if kaeya does decide to not support the abyss order/new Khaenri'ah, but some sinner or primordial one just... erases every memory that made him kaeya of mondstadt

because they need him on their side

i keep figuring this would be a good way to create a 5-star kaeya too

and i think it would be cool if venti's winds would still guide him home to mond by the end of the story, even if he doesn't remember anyone from there anymore

[kaeyachi]

Still thinking on the reason why Kaeya wears an eyepatch. My brain's favorite is agonizingly painful ancient ritual. It likes to whisper about it on my dreams.

Itsy bitsy tiny Kaeya being dragged into a circle of sorts and held down while desperate people write over his body and subject him to a moment of the worst sensation he has ever experienced in his short life.

Sad papa Alberich who sees what his own kind has done to his son and realizes it's safer to leave him hidden with the enemy, surrounded by peace, even if temporary.

Itsy bitsy tiny Kaeya who never got to know whether his dad was on board with what he went through or not.

Sad papa Kaeya who was too damn vague in his last words to his son. Damnit.

knowing how intense the pureblood Khaenri'ahns are apparently? who knows what they did with Kaeya's eye lmao

I think I mentioned this before, but the injury Diluc made on Kaeya's eye HAD TO BE bad enough for him to get tricked into thinking he actually managed to blind his brother and feel guilty about it until he found out it was a lie. There has to be some sort of rapid healing involved for what was supposed to be a blinded eye (I initially assumed it was healed from his vision, but now I'm thinking of a certain gold ring from Nibelungenlied). Even if Kaeya's hidden eye looks the same with his visible eye, there would still be something odd happening with it (I mean...Diluc attacked that eye specifically in the first place 👀)

so the idea that some sort of ritual was performed on it? high possibility hehe

now whether or not Kaeya's father was for or against whatever it is they did to Kaeya remains to be seen, but I do believe that he must have felt guilty at least once

[kaeyachi]

why do each of the twins have their own doomed alberich son 😭

wait wait wait is this referring to caribert and kaeya?? caribert being for the abyss twin and kaeya for us mayhaps?

id argue the twins are both involved with the 2 doomed alberich sons lmao (our twin either already knows or will know soon about him 👀)

[kaeyachi]

Kaeya has that specific flavor of important for the plot who wants to be a pebble on the way that I like.

Bro just wants to be a cute pebble number 143 but instead is being dragged, heels pressing so hard they're leaving wheel marks on the path, by the plot against his will.

Kaeya being pebble 143, but that pebble also caused the dam to break kind of situation LMAO

Alas... is this fate's grand design for him?

[kaeyachi]

THOMAKAE ANECDOTE!! THE DEMONS IN ME ARE WILDIN'

Kaeya doing a quick mention of him and Diluc stealing some wine from Crepus (we all know that one, don't we? From Kaeya's hangout!! 😊)

I can finally mention the fact that Thoma's mother (Ulrike) is Kaeya's senior officer!! Been withholding that for nearly a month now gosh...

THIS ANECDOTE WAS SO LIGHT HEARTED THAT I FELT MYSELF ASCENDING (were going to have to ignore the upcoming angst for Kaeya after that AQ for a moment lmao)

Excuse me but they...they decided to keep in contact? THEY'RE GOING TO KEEP SENDING LETTERS TO EACH OTHER?! THEY EXCHANGED ADDRESSES!! Pls they are so cute 😭

i just imagined Kaeya putting perfume on his letters btw... just to add to his canonically beautiful handwriting... yknow what? i think he has a signature scent to let people know who the letter is from (which makes his unscented letters even harder to find 👀 but thats just me rambling about a new HC)

riiiight, I was reminded that Thoma probably wouldn't have been friends with nobles + Diluc and Kaeya-said nobles who also keep to themselves- are several years younger than him, and kids usually stick to other kids near their age, so even less chances of actually becoming friends at that age for them... well, now they met as adults, and they both seem very happy to have met each other 😊

also just to add, the fact that they probably got a bit too excited talking to each other that we meet them while they were both standing by the 2nd floor railing of Angel's share, instead of sitting down at their seats lmao

in fact, kaeya was probably a bit jumpscared by us when we arrived, which is hilarious, considering he could sense Dainsleif who was a hidden from a distance + he always knows when Diluc is right behind him. You would think he couldn't be jumpscared at all

Thoma can't handle liquor as well as his own mother, so he probably got that tolerance from his father 🤔

Hoyo finally saying it's Mond culture for kids to want to try alcohol and try to steal a sip from an adult's cups. truly bless the anemo archon

ok so the leak i know of had a different dialogue where kaeya or the traveler implies that thoma would have been a good knight because he is so much like his mother. either theres a translation mishap somewhere or they scrapped that idea? but yeah knight thoma for consideration

actually, this anecdote is a bit healing, isn't it? just 2 immigrants (albeit in different ways), both spending hours appreciating the culture that raised them. there is probably a subconscious part of them that recognizes the somewhat similar circumstances they've got now, and that probably made it easier for them to vibe well together 🥺

ok seriously i cant get over the letters. theyre going to be giddy, anticipating each others latest chisme. theyre going to tell their friends what each other has written in their messages. theyre going to be pen pals! this is so cute that its hurting my cheeks!

also... should we expect Kaeya to visit Inazuma soon? 👀 Thoma being Kaeya's guide!! yipee!!!

also one step closer to the " i got my vision during a fight with my brother" conversation for Kaeya and Ayaka ehehehe

but yeah... surprisingly good Thomakae dynamics 🥺 i love them so much 😭 ITS EVEN BETTER THAN I IMAGINED OK? (But also sorry it took a while. Usual culprit of delays is my j*b)

[kaeyachi]

what the hell? the skirk sq took longer than i expected 😭 really messed with my sched

first off... KAEYA?! HUH?!??!?! WHY IS HE EVERYWHERE IN THIS UPDATE?!

and second... Khaenri'ahns got that extreme mindset for anything and everything... like the only chill ones are the non-purebloods... i knew the inevitable inbreeding of nobles was gonna get them all

lastly...skofnungr gay yearning for surtalogi, we gotta respect

[kaeyachi]

gosh i wanted to post about the ff 2 days ago but work got in the way, so pls get ready for the ff posts today instead:

- Thomakae anecdote

- maybe the Skirk SQ after i finish it today too

- Kaeya theory thanks to what Dainsleif has on him rn 👀

[kaeyachi]

ok ok stooop can we take a moment to ponder on the fact that Angel's Share is a hotspot for the craziest visitors ever?

[kaeyachi]

sa tingin nyo ba bininyagan si kaeya nung bata siya? baka umiyak yun kasi takot pa siya kay barbatos HAHAHA

[kaeyachi]

Since people pointed this out already...

aaah the Kaeya hangout... the gift that keeps on giving 🙏

[kaeyachi]

Anecdote spoiler

but like

Neuvillette is such a mom to the melusines 🥺 his face when Sedene mentioned that their kind loves junk food was hilarious

[kaeyachi]

ayo i cant answer this! i tried to reason out all of these at least once before! and theyre all possible!

so im RB-ing coz I wanna see what others say 👀

though for the something else, I do have an upcoming post to elaborate on that idea hehe

[kaeyachi]

Anyone else really worried about Kaeya after 5.7?

ME!! ME ME ME!! ✋️✋️✋️

Mr. "Destined for greatness and grandure"

Mr. "will have a tough choice to make"

Mr. "Is this fate's grand design?"

Mr. "only the sinners are all that's left"

Mr. "I suppose the hero always has to sacrifice himself to save others, and it does make for some good storytelling... but it leaves you wondering how he really feels about the whole thing. Did he ever have second thoughts? Only he can know, I suppose."
