Kaeya has only ever thanked the thousand winds, and not Barbatos, unlike the rest of Mondstadt.

The thousand winds is also in reference to Istaroth- god of time.

It would make sense for someone who got timey wimey'd (whether from the past or the future, whichever you prefer) to be devoted to the god of time, right?

bro is so happy 🥺 for now 😈

[kaeyachi]

i thought i was the only one who didn't like the nicole as diluc's mum theory 😭 even before the design reveal i've always had a feeling that she was going to be related to kaeya in some capacity. i'm a little buzzed rn so i can't articulate fully why exactly but the themes of angels, seelies and eyes in their characters esp makes me think so. i would love to hear more of your nicole thoughts !!!! doesn't have to be abt kaeya

side tangent but i've seen people theorize that nicole might be both kaeya and diluc's biological mother but ig for purely personal reasons that viewpoint unnerves me. i think it's just because i hate the troupe of "ohhhh this adoptive family dynamic was blood related all along !! they've been REAL family this whole time !" but each to their own y

I love Nicole! I will definitely be pulling for her (if I have enough primos... because this character list for Nod Krai? A bit too goated 😭 I'm already sure I'm gonna pull for Flins, Varka, Durin, Alice, Columbina, and Sandrone as well, but as an F2P who only gets away with 50/50 wins with pure luck, idk how far the primos I collect will go 😬)

For now, I am most excited for interactions between Nicole and Columbina, especially with the fact that they are both related to seelie imagery and lore. The pupils being suspiciously Kaeya-esque could always mean nothing, especially because Kaeya is a 1.x character (consistently well-designed though), but the earrings being similar too definitely made things even more sus! It also somehow makes Kaeya's oddly clairvoyant or defeated-toned dialogue a bit easier to explain if he is related to Nicole. I do make it a rule to not get my hopes up, but if there really is a legit relation (definitely doesn't have to be mother and son), then YIPEE!!

but oh my god that last part! YOU GET IT!! That's genuinely one of the reasons as to why I don't like it! Definitely a to each their own thing because I know some love this, but to me, it kinda feels diminishing of the "adoptive family is real family" concept that they have had from the start.

But even without Nicole being potentially related to Kaeya, I also don't like the odds of Diluc maybe being part Khaenri'ahn too (if Nicole really is Khaenri'ahn, we gotta wait for confirmation). It's the one distinction between Diluc and Kaeya that has also caused their major falling out. To suddenly pop up with "oh, you're Khaenri'ahn too!" this late without any indications from day 1? That's...

Also, once again, the adopted family dynamic is at risk here because the idea of 2 people of different descent finding home in each other is suddenly wonky because it might turn into "we are all Khaenri'ahn all along".

Another reason why the "Nicole is Diluc's mom" theory isn't my cup of tea (ah yes. the thing that started all of these theories. Nicole being a Ragnvindr cup of tea...) is because why would Alice offer to adopt Diluc in the first place when Nicole is right there? And on that note, did Alice offer to adopt Kaeya, too? Or is he out of the question because he has a living family member out there (like maybe a dad, or an uncle)?

Look, the evidence (her being a Ragnvindr teacup multiple times) is really compelling, but in turn, if she really is related to Diluc, then I hope she isn't related to Kaeya in any way, shape, or form at all, despite all design choices they made with her! And vice versa if she ends up being related to Kaeya!

Counter argument where the reason she uses that form is because Kaeya was adopted by the Ragnvindrs, and therefore, she likes popping up in that form instead (because being a Kaeya vase is not her cup of tea, pun intended)

But yeah, all of this really is just a personal opinion, so if you are cheering on the chance of Kaeya and Diluc being biologically related somehow, go have fun out there! Lot's of posts are about this topic right now, so you guys can find some memes and posts that would really tickle your fancy.

I feel like i need to say that I don't like the idea of Nicole being Diluc's mom for several reasons, but it's a really popular theory right now...

Hexenzirkel meeting at their floating island in Mondstadt, but there's a new table aptly named "kids table", and they are all having a tea party while their mothers gossip ✌️

venti is also at the kids table, "babysitting"

ok so like...Nicole with the 2nd half of the Kaeya earring( *correction, but she apparently has a pair of her own rather than just one!) , closest pupil shape to Kaeya's eye, and the clairvoyance?

I'm starting to think the Hexenzirkel just put all their kids in Mondstadt and got Barbatos to babysit them all 🤔

Oh?

mind scattered through time? interesting 🤔

[kaeyachi]

its funny how on this rare occasion that i took a peek at how twt/x peeps are doing, I end up seeing a post about all the rumors kaeya started (but also his rumors are so sus too coz if i could elaborate on the possibility of them being metaphors-)

[kaeyachi]

ok so i like

i jokingly put a Jack Frost (persona series) figurine in my kaeya shrine coz I thought it would be funny, but then I suddenly imagined Kaeya as Jack Frost ( Rise of the Guardians ver.)

Basically, Kaeya and Klee are skating on a frozen lake, when all of the sudden, the ice starts to crack around Klee who was too far from the edge/ safe part, and this specific scene in the movie plays out for Kaeya and Klee, but instead of the moon, it was Venti who saw what happened, and with a last shot of saving Kaeya, he decided to change Kaeya into a guardian (Venti accidentally turning Kaeya into the closest thing Venti can get to an actual biological child of his own lmao)

now... do we give Kaeya amnesia or no? 👀

[kaeyachi]

im still so sick (have been for the past 3 days) and i lowkey feel like i should just post my next theory in bullet point format

[kaeyachi]

naaaur we are not hiding this in the tags COZ GOOD CATCH

TIME AND TIME AGAIN, IT'S LIKE KAEYA'S VISION WAS MADE TO MESS WITH HIM

he can only heal himself

he can only shield himself

it arrived after Crepus died

its arrival also represented his feeling of not really belonging

being given one as a Khaenri'ahn is crazy because it means he is being watched

and now it's apparently meant to warn him?!

NAAAUR LET HIM REST

WHAT IN THE EVER LOVING HELL DID GENSHIN JUST RELEASE?!

THE SHADES?! LIFE, DEATH, TIME, AND SPACE OMG (ASMODAY COUNTS?!)

NABERHINEDOTTIR'S DESIGN?! (LOOK AT HER RIGHT EYE!! HER RIGHT EEEYE!!)

ISTAROTH BEING VOICED BY ERIKA (VENTI'S EN VA) ?!??!!?! *** edit: SAME AS THEIR RESPECTIVE VENTI VAs IN ALL LANGUAGES IS INSANE

ASMODAY MISSING?!

AND I THOUGHT I WAS COOKING NOTHING. WDYM PIERRO CAN SEE THE SHADES MEETING? SO ME THEORIZING KAEYA'S HIDDEN EYE CAN SEE BEYOND THE FAKE SKY IS ACTUALLY POSSIBLE TOO OR WHAT?!

PLEASE IM GOING INSANE AGAIN

So Diluc is subtly still overprotective of Kaeya, right? At least, that's what Hoyo ended up showing with him jumping out of nowhere to do Kaeya's battles for him. And while I do want to incapacitate Diluc at least once just so we could finally see Kaeya fight without big bro appearing out of nowhere to beat up an enemy, I also can't help but imagine Diluc finding out Kaeya has been sick for a couple of days now, and he still keeps on working due to being understaffed in the KoF.

Diluc would probably just steal the patrol schedule real quick and do all of Kaeya's physically laborious tasks before Kaeya could even reach for his sword.

The thing is, I bet Kaeya could still beat up the Mondstadt mobs while sneezing on them lmao

[kaeyachi]

saw the wonderful news in my notifs! LETS GOOOOO!!

AU where Kaeya wasn't immediately found in the storm and was found by Crepus close to death. He is canonically already a sickly child, but for this AU,the harsh experience practically made him so frail that he

1. couldnt even try to fulfill whatever mission his father wanted him to do

2. doesn't become a knight

How would Kaeya feel if someone took him to explore the ruin machines?

idk how much his father taught him, but it would be hilarious if he could actually pilot those things

ok, but seriously speaking, I'm not really sure. Would he be horrified at seeing actual proof of what his birth nation was capable of? Would he feel some sort of yearning at the possibility of seeing these machines working in the fields of Khaenri'ah?

Just the idea of Kaeya tracing the lines of Khaenri'ahn words in the ruin machines makes my heart ache for him ngl
