i lost my USB
went to the police station
found my USB
police: can you tell me what you put inside it to confirm this is yours
i fell into silence
after several seconds, i said, trembling, with gritted teeth
"aah, a lot of manga, with gay men, having intercouse"
i still can't get over how young kaeya had a turtleneck underneath his shirt and 4 layers of clothing like a victorian maiden and then after that he just started prancing around mondstadt with his cleavage just out there
every instance where collei is used as a narrative parallel for kaeya in the webcomic and why the eng translation sucks:
- a thread of me comparing both cn and eng versions side by side
(and then i walked back home in the rain without an umbrella)
erm this tweet accidentally blew up lol but i've been rate limited so i couldn't even see or add my own replies. hope this hellsite gets fixed soon ๐ฟ๐ฟ
nothing to promote other than my fics but have a good day!
as a chinese speaker i honestly no longer give a fuck how the western fandom views kaeluc like go girl live out ur completely incorrect sibling incest dreams and will no longer promote clarification threads like why bother at this point 2+ years into the game
1. kaeya commenting on collei hiding the truth about herself
- i think it's quite obvious how kaeya is in a similar position due to his khaenri'ahn status
- the cn to eng translation here is fine imo
3. CN: "those who are protected under a mask, even their (sins/evil deeds) can be hidden"
- i object to the word choice of "true" evil
- the original just means that a person's bad reputation can be covered up... which could be kya talkin abt the lies he told to hide his own past
i think it's pretty obvious that mihoyo's cn main team and the eng localisation team have some beef and/or do not see eye to eye about kaeluc bc the eng manga is shitty af
overseas people who think living together and being raised together imply siblinghood and kaeluc have some sort of incestous bond just havent had the asian experience of living like sardines packed in tiny coffin flats with your entire extended family because you are poor
2. not related to kaeya but the EN translation team randomly added an extra sentence "the ice grows and spreads" which wasn't even in the CN ver, one of many instances where the EN tl changes/adds things to the original source material
4. this panel :/
CN: "you can continue to hide, but (the people close to you) will eventually find out โ"
- in eng they replaced (...) with "the one who calls you friend" but in cn it was not limited to just friends.
- when i read this in cn i immediately connected it +
5. this panel is even worse, it leaves out important lore & info about collei
- observe how in the CN version there is a small subscript in the words of the text box next to the snake
CN: "oh, you appeared, the snake of black flames [subscript: the first component]"
with kaeya and diluc's fight when he got his vision, about how kaeya kept hiding all his secrets of being connected to khaenri'ah but still had to tell diluc about it in the end...?
- anyways the main point is that "the ppl close to you" (CN) =/= "those who call you friend" (EN)
9. my favourite panels in this entire chapter:
- kaeya's shocked face after collei says "please kill me"
- perhaps she reminded him of himself that day crepus died? just my hypothesis, ofc.
- the EN did not mention 1) the snake of black flames and 2) that it was the "first component" of something.
- i checked the pages before and after this panel, it was not mentioned afterwards either.
- im at a loss why the EN team decided to leave out this important info?? lol
anyways, personally, i rly think kaeya saw bits of himself in collei. the metaphors of "hiding beneath a mask" abt collei applies to himself as well. i also think when he said collei's "please kill me" was unoriginal, i personally think he's talking abt himself that night w dlc.
6. there's nth wrong w the translation here, it's just that the CN line "you're quite impatient" is a direct reference to his in-game voice line, in the EN voiceover it's "what's the hurry"; the trans here is correct, just that the reference is lost & wanted to let u know lol
8. CN: "the last component, our lead actress, has arrived."
EN: "looks like she is right on time... for the final act"
- ok so we got the answer for the "component" thing mentioned in CN before, kaeya was talking about how he orchestrated this like "acts" of a play -- the snake
kaeya who would rather die from hanahaki before he tells anyone bc and a diluc who doesn't know what's going on but only knows fear is gripping his heart every day as he watches kaeya fading away
9. (cont'd) Collei (in both): Please kill me.
CN: "i thought she would have given a different answer... but in the end it was the same old, how boring...."
EN: "i'd hoped for a different outcome, that was plain boring"
kaeya personally kept a diary of reviews and ratings of each man he's fucked after diluc left him to kill fatui and when diluc came back he made sure to leave the diary where diluc would find it. ha ๐๐
7. nit-picky but:
CN: "everything will be solved easily"
EN: "you'll feel so much better after"
&
CN: "no, this isn't me"
EN: "this is not... what i want..."
- the phrase (what i want) just came from nowhere??
- imo not something Super Major but still, it's clearer in CN that kaeya orchestrated the entire thing + makes him out as the mastermind constructing the play, rather than a member of the audience passively observing the finale of an event
- i'd just like to point out "outcome" and "answer" are completely different... if kaeya had hoped for a different "outcome", it means he would have liked to have captured collei successfully, but CN kaeya just said he thought she would say something else that was more original
was the "first act" / "first component", while getting amber to arrive at this time was the "final component" / "final act".
- but still why the EN didn't mention the black snake was "the first act" a few panels back if they were going to call amber the "final act" anyways?
being a blade stan means being sad when i see this item.... the EN tl is a bit sucky here bc in the CN original they used the word ใๅ้ฃ ใwhich means to heckle someone, to put them in a tough spot, it implies malignant intentions, but in the EN- (cont'd)
sworn bros are basically just like ppl in the hood calling each other "their brother" i don't think it's a difficult concept that will take 2+ years to understand
i just really like the interpretation of him having a few screws loose after the death of his father and the duality of perfect gentleman master diluc vs ruthless assassin darknight hero
#luckae
+ hurt/comfort; a thread
โYou liveโฆโฆ here?โ Diluc said this hesitantly, his eyes wide as he turned his head this way and that, taking in his surroundings. His finger was still upon the light switch heโd just flipped, revealing the decrepit glory of Kaeyaโs flat. ++
headcanon that kaeya lives extremely frugally in a rundown bad part of town after leaving the ragnvindrs despite dressing up fancy for the part at work
like you're completely wrong, but also, have a good day i no longer wish to argue or refute with any living being that is monolingual on this website goodbye
"you don't wear any jewellery," kaeya remarks in passing to diluc.
"i don't need to. not when i can just make /you/ into a magnificent display of my wealth." diluc's reply is accompanied with a slow sweep down kaeya's ear, where the teardrop-shaped sapphire hangs heavy.
headcanon that kaeya loved diluc more when they were kids but after they grew up and That Night happened, diluc loves kaeya more than kaeya loves him back
cant believe genshin literally took all the personality bits that i liked in kaeya (guilty conscience, facade of happiness, unbelievable daddy issues) and then MAGNIFIED it and topped it off with a double whammy of platinum blonde hair and red eyes
fics with plots are overrated. sometimes you just gotta write bullshit like kaeya exploring abyss mage hideouts and mysteriously getting stuck in a wall. and then he gets dubcon fucked out by a random stranger. who happens to be diluc, who for fic purposes, was passing by. yea
kaveh's personality is such a fuckboy slash abusive bf magnet like. he's so easy to take advantage of!!!!
kaveh, after breaking up with his 6th shitty bf in a row: im giving up on love
alhaitham: i'm literally right here
alhaitham: have u considered. dating me.
kaveh: ???
do you ever think about kaeya fretting over diluc's birthday gifts as a child because diluc already lives a life of luxury and wants for nothing and also everything that kaeya owns is technically also diluc's so what could he actually offer diluc?
diluc being unable to masturbate by himself bc he's ashamed of his sexuality and holds it in for weeks and months until kaeya finally comes back home from expeditions and when they finally fuck it's rly messy and rough and frantic and his cum is super thick ^-^
did i fall in love with kaeluc because of the childhood friends trope or because of the (lovers to) enemies to lovers trope or because of the blue and red gays trope or because of the hot forbidden sibling pseudo-incest trope or
my fave fic trope is kaeya saying "no breeding and no biting" bc he's a Strong Independent Omega and then completely forgetting about it and asking luc to breed and bite him in the heat of the moment
luckae / after the third time diluc accidentally let slip the words "i love you" in bed, kaeya had no choice but to end their relationship. "i don't fuck people who love me," he said. "we had a good time together, but both you and i know feelings weren't part of the agreement."
contrary to most hcs where mrs ragnvindr dies in childbirth, i like to think crepus's wife died having an aneurysm when she found out her husband having an affair with his adopted son
diluc is bad at sucking cock (don't ask me why he just looks like the kind of guy who goes straight to the main point without finesse, look at his big claymore going bonk bonk bonk) but kaeya still throws his head back and moans like a little bitch send tweet
repressed businessman diluc who pays an inordinate amount to get consensually "kidnapped" and "nonconned" by professional erotic service provider(?) kaeya
luckae crepkae noncon /
diluc about to noncon kaeya on That Night in the scorched grass with no lube no prep no nothing & as he enters him kaeya just sneers up at him goin "you're just like your father" and diluc freezes saying "excuse me what?" and kaeya just laughs, and laughs
headcanon that kaeya lives extremely frugally in a rundown bad part of town after leaving the ragnvindrs despite dressing up fancy for the part at work
thinking of owluc and peakae bird-dating and peakae always flexing his pretty tail with his iridescent tailfeathers at other birds bc he's Flashy Like That and owluc getting jealous at him like babe why are you showing ur tail to other birds am i not good enough for u

nsfw; phone sex, modern AU

three years after he almost killed his brother, diluc gives him a very overdue call.
(or: diluc realises halfway through trying to reconcile over the phone with kaeya that kaeya's having sex with a nameless mob.)

dainsleif, bough keeper. 6 inches.
- reminded me too much of diluc
- too uptight; too conscientious, apologised for coming inside, tried to bow at my feet claiming that i was the [redacted] [redacted] of our dead nation, which was a total turn off
- too weird, never again, 3/5
teenage omega diluc sticking three fingers up himself in his first heat and it's not enough, so not enough, he can't stop thinking of his little bro's cock, he's seen it, the line of kaeya's bulge evident in his everyday pants, he knows its size and he wants it
i actually only like writing hurt/comfort. i really fucking like hurt/comfort. ok? i dont want kaeluckae to have sex i want kaeya sulking in a hidden corner and diluc being perceptive enough to find him and hug him gently and ask him what's wrong & i want them to just curl up tgt
AU where kaeya also left mondstadt after crepus died & on his fatui-killing travels diluc goes to sumeru and walks into a brothel and asks for the best-selling whore and they bring out a veiled boy. diluc fucks him and pays without knowing it's kaeya. hehe.
luckae / femkae going to big bro diluc and asking him to massage her breasts for her *platonically* bc they're rly sore from pms and both of them pretending not to like it far more than they're supposed to
oh!! i thought of two more

childe the harbinger, 7 inches
- surprisingly, he's as kinky as me. he also likes bloodplay, bless his ptsd.... he just like me fr
- post-orgasm interrogation yielded nothing useful, dude's smarter than he looks
- final rating: 4.5/5
#3
wagner the blacksmith, 8 inches
- lowkey the best lay of my life
- pounded my ass exactly like how he pounds his iron
- the size and girth was a bonus
- excellent fuck, 5/5, definitely would go again
etc etc you get the idea
feel like kya's the type to just quietly tuck away every sliver of his feelings for diluc along w the pain of that night into a small box & lock it up deep in his heart to be replayed again and again in his memory when he's alone.... all whilst smiling like nothing's wrong at dlc
Diluc's heart convulsed in his chest, and then he couldn't help himself. He leant down and kissed Kaeya, tasting the wet salty tears on his lips, and he held him tight until the tears ran dry.
"I love you," Diluc whispered. "I don't want to see you cry. I just want you."
surely kya met someone else. dlc simmers in jealousy and pain while he thinks about the other person who had stolen kya's heart.... it can't be him. if it were, kaeya would have come to him directly, wouldn't he? no, it's not him..... kya could never love him. not like that.
the worst part of it for diluc is that kaeya wont tell him who it is so he can't do anything about it but he also isn't that self-absorbed to think that it could be him...... especially since there's just an awkward chasm between them now, after four years of separation.
modern omegaverse luckae AU where diluc's getting teased at school because he hasn't presented with his secondary gender yet despite being a bit older than the average age of presentation. he's just not there yet.
kaeya on the other hand has already presented. +
the quality of your friendships sound very poor if you cant ask for noncon cumplay stockholm syndrome fics without fear of being judged by your best friend
since fiction supposedly doesnโt affect reality why donโt yโallโs family members know about this sort of content that yโall not only condone but actively enjoy. why donโt u tell ur parents and relatives and friends and ur coworkers about these subjects if ur so passionate about
cohabitation and raising children collectively as a family unit has been so lost in western culture that they seem to be unable to understand this concept.
you know, i enjoy my dilucs jealous but when he puts kaeya in the most revealing clothes and drapes him in gleaming gold body chains and shining jewels and parades around mondstadt with him on tow and in proud ownership telling the world this is the pussy no one else can hit....
crepus kisses kaeya in between the shelves of the library in the dead of night, where there's no one to hear or see them. the maids all think he's a studious man, staying in his study overnight all the time, but little do they know he's fucking his adopted ward out on the table.

jose the bard, 5 inches

kaeya goes on an expedition with his men to dragonspine, exploring a hidden underground tunnel together, when suddenly an avalanche of stone comes crumbling down. kaeya, who was at the forefront of the group, is trapped inside, while the other men scramble back to mond for help.
storylines where a person loves someone so much they bring about the ruin of the entire world just to resurrect that one person give me so much serotonin
