you know what i was thinking about.

like.

to me it feels like kaeya grew up to become what diluc needed. he had already been thrown away by his father once, and now, in this new home, he tried to make himself as useful and irreplaceable as possible. a confidant, friend, brother. but once he realized he was just playing a part, just as his father sent him to do? once he told diluc, knowing how it would end between them?

i feel like the kaeya we see in-game is largely grappling with that realization. honestly, he’s flirtatious and aloof but it constantly feels like a front. he no longer has to be diluc’s second half and shadow. but then, what’s left is a man fighting for a country that he feels was never really his to begin with. it still feels like he still has himself convinced that he’s just playing a role and deceiving those around him.

#kaeya is SO #i feel like he’s so underanalyzed fr #or grossly mischaracterized one way or another lol #i mean #he IS manipulative but #it reminds me a lot of ayato’s manipulation #there’s always a ‘good’ reason #but it always leaves you feeling like you’ve been played #anyway i literally have something due tonight i’m just stalling LMAO
