Kaeya Has A Voiceline Within The Character Menu That Goes As Follows: "Albedo, Eh? Calm, Collected, And

Kaeya has a voiceline within the character menu that goes as follows: "Albedo, eh? Calm, collected, and incredibly talented. He's the type everybody likes, some even more so than others. What, you into him as well?" Although this line can be interpreted as Kaeya noting how the Traveler is fond of Albedo like others, but I chose to interpret it as Kaeya being fond of Albedo.

They both work under the umbrella of the Knights of Favonious, and have more than likely worked together on missions. Any event that Albedo apears in, Kaeya is never far behind. Albedo trusts Kaeya enough to let him go with Klee into Sumeru without any hesitation.

They are Klee's big brothers. They are two bros sitting in a hot tub, five feet apart because they are totally not gay. They are like Genshin Impact's version of Daniel Howell and Phil Lester of DanAndPhilGAMES, or Arin Hanson and Dan Avidan of GameGrumps and the 10MPH. Aka, homoerotic without either being gay (Kaeya is bisexual and I will not accept anything else) or being together outright.

They are gay your honnor.

they have this conversation at least once a week

Thoughts on Kuya, autonomy, and his refusal to be "captured"

(spoilers under the cut)

This SSR story is sooo good because it really fleshes out Kuya's all-encompassing hatred of being owned? Not just in a literal sense, but in an obligations/expectations kind of way too. He repeatedly states over the course of the game that he shouldn't be forced into a box, can't be defined by human morals, and has so many wildly different facets of himself that they're basically autonomous copies running around in alternate timelines.

He insists that Elysium allows visitors the right to choose if/how they participate. He seems to hate injustices that trample one's freedom (unless he's the one perpetuating said injustice— in which he considers his actions Wise And Necessary™️). He loathes being claimed as a prize. He also clearly hates being pandered to, especially when his suitors have ulterior motives and expect him to stay by their side forever. He hates when humans assume what he likes, and commit crimes against nature in order to please him. He spent centuries at Huey's side (literally indentured to him in a life-or-death contract), and even spent time in service to the lord of the yokai himself, who forced kuya back into his fox state when he was found during a suicide attempt. He was literally voided of essence to the point that he had to relive his most vulnerable years again. He experienced a loss of power and autonomy that probably felt like a betrayal. Granted it was a punishment intended to teach him humility, but it probably just traumatized him instead.

(This may also explain what happened on the Saian ship with Huey, when he was discovered in his true yokai form— something went wrong with corrupted essence, they couldnt teleport back to Klein as usual, and he burned the ship down when someone spotted him looking "beastly". It hit too close to home for him.)

Prior to meeting Eiden, he'd run out of things to enjoy in life, and turned to torturing small forest animals just to get some dopamine flowing again. He's a sadistic contrarian piece of shit but it makes sense that he feels rage against immortality/life itself, and probably approved of Huey because they shared an interest in exploring new horizons (not to mention the massive power boost he got in return).

So in this SSR r5 when he pauses in relief/shock after eiden tells him he cant force kuya to stay by his side forever, it all kind of clicked into place for me? Everything about kuyas character screams Do Not Attempt To Capture Me. He literally exploded a roomful of men who tied him down in Rusted Nation. He made a group of gamblers claw their own eyes out for daring to look at him with sexual intent. He even destroys offerings from other yokai who put him on a pedestal. He hates being expected to do anything for anyone for any reason, because those expectations often come with gross connotations or lasting debts, and have been repeatedly imposed upon him without his consent in the past.

His biggest fear might literally be losing control again.

(Of course he's a big hypocrite and does everything he hates to other people? And sometimes doesn't even realize he's doing it? Like in Astral Duo when he asks Quincy if he's done "something unforgivable" to Eiden, as if Kuya himself doesn't do unforgivable things on a daily basis).

Idk. He's just fascinating to me and I love how he seems to be driven by a pathological need to escape. He's not unaware of his weaknesses, as evidenced by him flinching when Eiden reaches behind his blind spot. He seems to be terrified of capture in every sense of the word, and does everything possible to overcome that.

Like a cornered animal :)

nu carnival tweets sorry they are so kuya centred. will be making more. know eiden likes weirder guys than blade sorta couldve put yakumo and rei there too??????????

Hello, Hello.

-Things About Me-

I love horror games, including mascot ones, like FNAF and Elevator Hitch.

I have an unhealthy obsession with Genshin Impact and Stardew Valley (Harvey my beloved).

GameGrumps and AstralSpiff videos are my lifelines. Cats are my favorite animals, along with foxes.

I kin Generationloss Ranboo, Scaramouche/Wanderer, Satan from Obey Me, Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd, and Protagonist from Elevator Hitch.

My OTP is Kaeya x Albedo from genshin Impact.I'll probably post random thoughts, game ideas, character headcannons, some fanfiction, and whatever else I feel like.

Feel free to comment or dm me, I need more social interaction in my life (according to my best friend).

Thanks for reading <3
