I have... an idea. A theory?
Is it possible that Diluc may not have kicked Kaeya out at all? Or at least, not completely? If Kaeya weren't doing this as a form of self-punishment, then Kaeya may have gaslit himself on the idea that he was kicked out.
Several EN Kaeya dialogue had me confused for a while now (as well as odd dialogue or text boxes by EN Diluc, Elzer, and Adelinde)
For one, Diluc seemed genuinely confused by the "throw me out like trash" comment from Kaeya, and Diluc had no retort to Kaeya saying Dawn Winery is his home too ( in fact, Diluc had no qualms on letting Kaeya stay there for weeks back when Diluc was out on a fatui hunting spree).
It's weird for someone who supposedly kicked the other out act like that - all confused and silent. Usually, there would at least be a vocal protest.
Then we have Elzer and Adelinde.
Have you all noticed that Adelinde only addresses Kaeya as "Sir Kaeya" when they are discussing together? Adelinde straight up calls him "Master Kaeya" in front of Diluc. Elzer, in a letter to Diluc, also showed him repeatedly addressing Kaeya as "Master Kaeya". Does this mean that only Kaeya requested on his own volition to no longer be addressed as master by the staff? Diluc is clearly fine with it. With how great of a maid Adelinde is, it must be such a rare occasion to call Kaeya as a "sir" for her to often accidentally call him as master instead (at least once every time we hear her, she makes this error)
Could it be possible that Kaeya decided to put that distance himself? Clearly Kaeya had no qualms on lying about his eye to Diluc for a while (making Diluc think he was blinded). Who's to say that he didn't make the staff think that he was no longer allowed to stay at Dawn Winery (which would make leaving the place easier for him).
And the more tragic one, being that he may have gaslit himself to the idea of being kicked out, also sounds possible... especially if we think that he may currently be tricking himself that he has no real mission or true purpose to the Khaenri'ahn plot (or that he tricked himself for the longest time that he has a mission).
The others are probably just letting Kaeya continue to do so because calling him out on it might make him lash out or start getting defensive.
This actually paints a very different picture...

the interdarshan championship arc is peak storytelling.
on one hand you have a message about how dismissing kind intentions and generosity in the name of nihilism is ineffective and irrelevant because human society can only be improved, and has only been improved, by people who dared to do good and altruistic things; there is a difference between fantastical hand-holding idealism and the principle of compassion and community aid, because humanity has always ever thrived in groups - in the support and conditions of unconditionality we lend to one another. helping one of us is helping all of us.
on the other hand, you discover that the wanderer joined the vahumana college accidentally because he keeps fact-checking researchers about events that he actually lived through but obviously can't say he did. nahida registered him as the representative of vahumana under a pun for cat. she expects him to write a dissertation on the validity of nihilism and existentialism in human nature while also wanting him to make friends at the championship. peak sibling behavior.

Maomao is such a refreshing and unique main character. She is extremely smart, not only does she know a lot about herbs, poisons, and all sorts of apothecary things, she's also smart enough not to want to call attention for herself. Her personality is great and I love her no-nonsense attitude. It really is extremely refreshing to see

They removed the scenarios for when you lose or end the duel in a draw in Duel Links' Tag Duel Tournament. As someone who sometimes loses on purpose just to read what the characters say, I'm disappointed :c.
They'll definitely hear from me in the event's survey when it's available (and if you feel the same, please let them know as well, politely).
On another note, they didn't need to go that hard with the new background music... but I'm glad they did. ♪

lrb with that said, i have signficantly less patience for works of fiction that are full of white people (cast and crew) which have been given every possible opportunity and advantage to succeed and then drop the ball e.g. ghost in the shell (2017) is a failure that could only come of white fragility and hubris
on this flip side of that, no amount of racialized cast and crew can save the mcu or whatever the fuck star wars is doing.
