it always fascinates/depresses me when kaeyaโs shield activates when heโs almost dead like sir not only do you heal yourself but you literally throw up a shield to protect yourself at the last possible moment he does everything he can to not have to rely on anyone else
as a tribute to the golden apple archipelago event and all the wonderful content it gave us, i commissioned the amazing
@Chalseu_D
for this incredibly beautiful piece ๐
#luckae
โ(ship) founded the mlm community in the gameโ if the ship youโre naming isnโt kaeya and diluc youโre wrong bc THIS was The founding mlm moment in the game
a reminder for those who ship kaeya and diluc who might be feeling a little extra vulnerable lately: there is nothing wrong with shipping them and you are doing nothing wrong. if shipping them makes you happy, hang onto that, bc god knows we all need whatever happiness we can get
itโs so funny when people list hyvโs most โimpliedโ ships and donโt include kaeya and diluc like iโm sorry but kya and dlc are HEAVILY pandered to
kaeya hangout spoilers //
-kaeya knows dilucโs schedule
-diluc pays such close attention to what kaeya says that he recalls an excuse he gave a year prior
-kaeya knows what will and wonโt bother diluc
-kaeya WILL bring up dkh whenever he can
-kaeya spends the most money on diluc
i think kaeya is destined to be a tragic character no matter what. abandoned by a father who didnโt seem to want to leave him at all, cursed with a fate he clearly wants nothing to do with
to me this and when kaeya was talking about how ~incompatible~ cryo and pyro are screams โkaeya is being petty and TRYING to make diluc jealous because heโs annoyed with diluc for melting his ice bridgeโ
diluc pretending he doesnโt care about the vase kaeya gifted him, the one he keeps displayed at the front of the winery, until one day during a party heโs hosting a drunken guest knocks into it, causing it to shatter and dilucโs entire countenance changes. heโs furious
#kaeluc
kaeya leaving the knights hq late at night and a worker from the winery rushing over to tell him heโs needed at the winery, itโs /urgent/, and kaeya being struck with fear that somethingโs happened with diluc but when he reaches the winery and throws open the door
i love kaeya being depressed and isolating himself as much as anyone but i also love kaeya pampering himself once heโs off work with bubble baths, facial masks, The Most Expensive hair products and special dawn winery exclusive wine he stashes away specifically for those nights
itโs so funny seeing people say โum nothing about those letters is romantic you know you can care about someone without being in love rightโ because you just know they would also be losing their minds if the characters in their own favorite ships exchanged similar letters
still canโt believe โperhaps weโre fated to be doomed togetherโ is real like oh my god kaeya really said that and weโre just supposed to live with that potentially blatant foreshadowing for what might be years
genshin leaks // wow imagine being kaeya alberich the first character to have both a story quest and a hangout, not to mention an alternate skin and ties to khaenriโah as well as the abyss and on top of all of that heโs dilucโs boyfriend? wow!
saw a tweet with someone asking if it was canon or not that kvh called hthm his cute little junior and iโm here like no i donโt think so but do you know who in canon actually DID call their shippable counterpart cute when he was younger
need kaeluc being sickeningly in love i am craving kaeya gazing lovingly at diluc from across the tavern and someone has to kick his leg for him to even realize it i want diluc so lost in thought about kaeyaโs beautiful face that he overfills a customerโs drink
the way diluc watches out for kaeya in regards to his drinking habits and kaeya watches out for diluc to make sure heโs never truly alone and encourages people to not be put off by the expression he wears and treat him with the same kindness you would show to a kid. i WILL cry
itโs very important to me that we one day learn what dilucโs exact thoughts were to seeing kaeya again for the first time upon his return to mond because going from a turtleneck and vest to chest on display, a choker, a corset, and skintight pants had to be a surprise
so kaeya immediately goes out and buys an even uglier vase which diluc grudgingly puts in the exact same spot as soon as kaeya leaves, a little smile on his face as he does
genshin event spoilers // the gentle look in his eye, the hand holding, his fond smile.. diluc would fall in love with kaeya all over again if heโd seen all of this
The most fun iteration of enemies to lovers is when theyโre rivals in public but lovers in secret. When the arguments are all a strange form of foreplay, a dance they know all the steps to that always ends in angrily stolen kisses under the cover of night. A different dance.
one of my favorite kinds of kaeluc is where theyโre just irrevocably in love with each other despite everything theyโve been through and continue to find their way back to each other and be drawn to each other regardless of what happens
kaeya using his charm and charisma to be a social media influencer/streamer/something like that but part of his popularity comes from diluc aka his โgrumpy roommateโ appearing in the background of so many of his videos
kaeya feeling hurt the next time he visits and doesnโt see it, trying to tease diluc about its absence just for diluc to cut him off with an apology and kaeya is so touched that diluc cared That much
can you imagine how lovey dovey kaeluc could potentially be if they reconcile AND get together like. just making up for lost time by touching and kissing each other at every opportunity. diluc paying visits to the /knights headquarters/ just to see kaeya
it seems like every time kaeya has focus, we see a different side of him and i really enjoy that heโs becoming even more fleshed out. the webtoon laid the groundwork in introducing him, showcasing how cunning and pragmatic he can be.
kaeya hangout spoilers //
and letโs not forget diluc asking after kaeya when he was no longer around, sounding like he missed him already. and diluc not hesitating to direct you to kaeya for any winery inquiries while he himself is busy, trusting kaeya with the business
itโs so ??? that sean saying โdogeyโ to people bombarding him with โklc is inc*st!!โ comments and rting a single klc fan art makes him a klc shipper to these people when all it really shows is that he Does Not Care which is honestly just so refreshing in todayโs fandom atmosphere
everyoneโs already made the connection to dilucโs lines in the potion event potentially referring to kaeya but i think itโs so interesting when you compare beidouโs concern for ningguang which was so /obviously/ about ningguang to diluc whose concern for kaeya can be disguised as
him curtly, sharply requesting the guest to leave and maids rushing over to clean up the pieces but diluc bending down before they can and gathering every single one by himself as the rest of the guests watch and mumble. that vase was precious to him
discourse // if i see anyone intentionally spamming the rgbrosweek tag with explicitly romantic/nsfw klc i will block you. respecting different viewpoints goes both ways and you are doing the klc fandom NO favors by doing that. just mute the tag.
i think despite the distance and awkwardness between them, kaeya and diluc are still hopelessly devoted to one another and would k*ll for the other without question bc thatโs the way itโs always been and they donโt know how to be anything else
genuinely my favorite thing about this scene is the way kaeyaโs eye tracks dilucโs movement like he could not be LESS concerned about the abyss mage his attention is 100% on diluc always
discourse // reminder that k
@3bedo
, k
@3jean
, and any other ships among the knights are โincestโ as well ๐ (this is a joke. but do you see how ridiculous this sounds?)
โi bet you wonโt bring me flowers in personโ vs diluc showing up at knights hq with a bouquet curated especially to kaeyaโs tastes and a present to top it off and kaeyaโs just shocked pikachu face only add blushing bc heโs flustered as hell
because diluc could have done nothing and it still wouldโve been perfect, because kaeya knows he wouldโve had diluc to come home to regardless. kaeya kisses him then, and takes his time indulging in /all/ of his gifts that night.
a tendency to keep to himself, spend his birthdays alone, reminisce about his carefree days with diluc and crepus, play off the moments when his loneliness rears its ugly head bc traveler canโt stick around. he craves contact as much as he actively keeps people at a distance.
genshin spoilers // it sucks that kya and dlc werenโt involved with windblume this year but also iโm strangely comforted in the fact that they BOTH didnโt appear like damn they really said Package Duo
living a life heโs built for himself that might as well be equivalent to a house of cards for how fragile it actually is and how quickly he could lose it if his past/heritage catches up to him
the ragnvindrs having a holiday tradition of baking cookies to leave out for โsantaโ and even after crepus dies, even after his fight with diluc, kaeya keeps that tradition going when heโs living alone
whatโs better than diluc gently cradling kaeyaโs cheeks in his hands and kissing him tenderly?
diluc grabbing kaeyaโs jaw and pulling him close into a bruising kiss because he canโt stand not kissing him anymore
he finds it.. empty, and mostly the same, save for some rose petals strewn about the floor, making a path that leads him upstairs to .. dilucโs bedroom. his worry has gradually given way to fond amusement as he imagines dilucโs awkwardness in sending staff away for the evening
Brat. A nuisance, a menace. Brat. Always pouting, always whining. Brat. Preening under the attention, teasing to get a reaction. Brat. Only for you, only because they know you love to chase and much as they love to run.
as i turn 33 today i want to throw out the friendly reminder to all of you that youโre never too old to participate in fandoms <3 buy merch, cosplay, join communities, produce content, whatever. as i often have to remind myself - hang onto the simple joys in life
/for this/. sure enough when he pushes the door open, there sits diluc on the foot of his bed (still clothed, of course, because of course he is), some chocolates he likely had imported from somewhere and a bottle of his finest wine in hand.
to kaeya with a frown. โis it too much?โ or perhaps not enough, which goes unsaid but kaeya can see it in dilucโs features as his mind starts to spiral. holding back a laugh, kaeya strides toward diluc and stands before him, lifting a hand to press gently against the side of his
face. diluc looks at him, brows furrowed, red still tinting his cheeks and kaeya is overwhelmed by how much love he has for this man, and how theyโve ended up here despite everything. โitโs perfect.โ
heโs flushed, and immediately stands up when kaeya enters. โwhatโs this?โ kaeya asks, feigning cluelessness as he leans against the doorframe.
โwell.. considering the day, i thought..โ diluc looks down at the items in his arms, glances at the bed behind him, then looks back
i guess this is discourse related but i am so tired of seeing people bombarded with hateful comments when they share romantic klc content, especially when that eventually leads to that person leaving or taking a break from the fandom - which they have every right to!
