on the one hand side Alex would be the most well rounded driver Ferrari could have since Michael Schumacher and if anyone could get through this team unharmed it may be Alex "RB has zero control over my seat but they pay me anyways" Albon

on the other hand side: it's Ferrari

I saw your post about the Alberich surname and was curious about kaeya being half tayvatian! Can you explain that for me please? I miss and forget a lot of details and stuff in game, but I do genuinely love genshin lore related to khaenriah and kaeya! I also flip flop between kaeya being full khaenrian and being half whatever just because his star eye doesn't seem to be as pronounced as dainsleif for example. At least in game. (always zooming into his face to try and see the pretty star lol) Like I've seen the hc of his mom being sumeran and I think that's super cute! It could explain his darker skin tone compared to dainsleif and pierro? Or like idk the star trait has been deluted after many generations? Uh I've rambled a lot but I was just curious cuz I didn't know anything about him being half teyvatian!

IM SORRY I TOOK SO LONG *cries*

AND THEN I ACCIDENTALLY EXITED THE TUMBLR APP WHICH DELETED EVERYTHING I TYPED OUT 💔💔💔 THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LONGER IM HEARTBROKEN

but anyway...THANK YOU FOR ASKING!

I think it would be better for me to come back to this after 3.5 that way I can confirm most of what I initially typed out, but heres a summary of what I've thought of

1. His name being the only one in the history of known Khaenri'ahns to originate from Hindu instead of Norse/Scandinavian

2. Due to the Hindu origin of the name, we can connect it to his constellation which is represented by a peacock- India's national bird as well as the representation for the Spantamad in the Akademiya.

3. Him being there for the 3.5 Archon quest in Sumeru as well as him getting a possible skin that is clearly half Sumeru and half Khaenri'ahn inspired

4. notes or letters from a member of the Alberich clan in Sumeru

5. Most known Khaenri'ahn characters have been pale-skinned (were unsure about Pierro due to dim lighting but even then, he and Kaeya might be related) with distinctly shaped four-pointed star pupils while Kaeya was designed differently (unsure if its because he's the first one released in-game, if its a diluted gene trait, or if it might be indicative that he is curseless)

6. Seemingly curseless or unnafected by the curse. Was even "blessed" by Celestia with a vision, which is already odd. He's still the only canonical Khaenriahn with one (clearly Celestia doesnt care whether you want a vision or not either)

If someone can elaborate please go ahead! I'm sure I've missed some!

***Additional notes mildly unrelated to this theory***

-The Alberich clan must have been known for their strategic thinking, war knowledge, and mind games if they were able to rise as the leaders for Khaenri'ah during the war. If I were a Sumeru scholar, I'd tap that too lmao

-Kaeya's name meaning "Monsoon flower" is oddly tragic yet fitting. The monsoon flowers thrive in the rainy season. Kaeya thrives during the rain as well. His main growth points and tragedies in life have happened in the rain. If it rains during the 3.5 archon quest i will scream and cry please note this.

- oddly enough i am more of a believer of the "Kaeya being frozen in time for 500 years" theory. Its possible! Olaf Katzlein got frozen for 300 after all! Some old Sumeran must have immigrated to Khaenri'ah prior to the Catalycism and got the Alberich started. Alberich clan being the smartest family in Khaenri'ah maybe?? hmm...

-Majority of teyvat suspiciously dont know that Khaenri'ahns are the hilichurls and the abyss order which means this might be forgotten history...which is weird because if its a supposedly slow acting curse then even in future generations there should still be slow-turning Khaenri'ahns right? If they purposely stopped repopulating then how did Kaeya come to exist? Pierro getting funky with whom??????? He has only been beside the Tsaritsa for the past hundred years... OH MY GOD WAIT CRACK THEORY TIME- Kaeya being the Tsaritsa and Pierro's son which explains the white streaks in his hair. No? Ok I'll stop lmao...unless?? NAH JK THIS AINT IT...or is it... JUST KIDDING I SWEAR-

That's all for now! Hope this helped others figure out the thought process behind the Half-Teyvatian Kaeya theory!

I'm still thinking about Hans' "I'm sure he'll (Garon) be sympathetic to you and your family" line that he says to the Nohrian soldiers in the training grounds. LIKE. GOOD GRIEF.

do all of Garon's henchmen know what happened to Gunter?? is threatening other soldiers with the possibility of the same fate a regular occurrence among them?? does this mean Gunter is the example that Garon hangs above his army's heads??

oof. okay, now im in actual pain thinking how awful it would have been for him to be around the castle in those years following. maybe being assigned to the northern fortress was secretly a blessing.

Every now and then I remember the times I would mention to my flatmate that I was thinking of buying myself something reasonably expensive (that I had been eyeing up for months and had budgeted for) and she'd tell me that I shouldn't spend that much money on something I didn't need and it would be stupid etc etc while she regularly impulse bought things that cost at least as much and she would use once (while complaining that she was under a lot of financial stress and couldn't afford <$3/week for 2 months for a rental washing machine when ours broke). She is... perhaps not my first call for financial advice

Hello! I was wondering about some world building bits in Effloresce. What are the powers for the courts. You imply there are multiple and that the plant power does not come from Spring. Also, why are the Courts the way they are (seasons/time of day/why is there no Dusk Court)? I am also super interested in the Wild Hunt and the wyrms in Autumn. Thank you, your writing is amazing!

Hi, thanks!

In Effloresce specifically I've wandered off track from canon world building- the sharp divide between High Fae are the Most Magic and humans are horrible weaklings doesn't really...appeal to me?

So there's magic everywhere.

(Also just. someone mentioned to me recently the books only call it 'power'? I'm definitely not going back to reread just for that, but that strikes me as...silly. ANYWAY)

We kind of take the Court system, and move outward. There's humans using magical objects. There's a ton of humans, like the Archerons, with faery blood. There's faery countries on the continent humans interact with that aren't behind a giant cursed wall. (The idea that all humans. EVERYWHERE. were slaves is just...such bad world-building, sorry)

There are, specifically, an enormous amount of different kinds of faeries.

So, a lot of western canon for fae stuff has this vague overarch of balance- light and dark, seelie and unseelie, things like that. Prythian is pretty clearly supposed to be an extension of that: a deeply magical faeryland, where balance is ingrained in everything. At least in theory.

I pick up there, and sort of keep going. There's no point in the Court system if faeries from the different Courts aren't actually distinct outside their outfit choices. They're all fae, tied to the land and immortal and beautiful, but the books make that SO boring.

So like, the plant thing: Feyre is oversimplifying a quintessential faery experience (communing with magical faeryland), because she's had the most woeful education imaginable.

Lucien is a forest faery, trees like him. Trees in AUTUMN are not quite the same as say, those Spring oaks he obliterated with Helion's famous destructive power. Making things grow isn't unique in and of itself. Capacity (power), feeling, and personal affiliation all matter to what a High Fae might accomplish. They're the top of the food chain because they have those broader definitions to work from- a random kelpie in a lake in say, Spring, will have a whole immortal power that is going to be water and lilies and murder, which is magically different than a siren in summer whose's dragging sailors down on the same tide that birthed her.

As for the wild hunt! I just love it? To me, it works in well with this established aesthetic of Autumn as a beautiful, wild, violent place. They're probably bound to the crown in some limited capacity.

The wyrm however, is a very small shout out to the idea that there used to more. Creatures, magic, power- that Prythian was a wilder place, and at some point, Rhysands stupid plan IS going to wake all that up, when the Night Court starts fucking with things they don't understand.

Thoughts on BBC Merlin?

One of my favorite shows in history, absolutely love it

Marlin and Arthur’s character development still amazes me to this day, truly two of the best characters I’ve ever seen and one of the best duos in any show

Very gay, just queer people being queer

Also it broke my heart and I still haven’t recovered
