  6. Aww! I love this fan animation video! ^_^ I love Kaeya and Diluc's backstory, and I wish that they hadn't had a break-up in their relationship! I love how birds can represent them, since their constellations are a peacock, and an owl! I love that the seashell breaking into pieces represents them breaking away from each other as brothers! I hate to see them fight with each other! I wish that they could be happy together as brothers! 😀 <3

  8. hey! I'm passing by to tell you that God loves you very much, he sacrificed his only son so that today you and I would have free access to the Father, he loves you if you repent of your sins and believe in Jesus as your only and enough savior, God will come to find you 💕

  10. Man this just adds to my love for kaeya. (Apart from obvious reasons) he’s my favourite character because he just overall deserved better. He abandoned as a child, taken in, just to have his father stripped away from him again, and the person he called brother turn his back against he. He doesn’t really have anyone there for him. Even though he denies it in his voicelines, he’s a lonely man lmao and I can only imagine what that would do to someone

  14. I’m sure all this has been said before but the use of light here is incredible.

    Even in the first section with baby kaeya and his birth father, dawn winery is the light they’re literally headed towards. When crepus and diluc come to him, both of them seem like they’re emitting light. The pic at 0:17 with that soft glow on kaeya’s face…

    The beach scenes are all overexposed, which represent the dreamy quality of childhood very well.

    The scene in the church of diluc getting knighted, i think it’s interesting that it’s crepus and kaeya’s covered eye in the beam of light, and not his other eye. To me it shows that at that moment, Diluc accepts every part of him. (I’m not sure if this is what you were going for, but i also get a bit of jealousy out of that? Like in his heart (the covered eye) he cherishes his family, but in his mind (the uncovered eye) he has a bit of jealousy towards diluc)

    At 1:08, there’s the opposite division, though the light is softer: covered eye in shadow. Here, then, his heart has the “darker” emotion while his mind is more clear. The relief he felt when crepus died because he wouldn’t have to choose between his fathers anymore (covered eye) and the guilt at that reaction and general pain at crepus’ death (uncovered eye)

    And the transition at 1:15 where the two fade out, i feel like this could’ve been flipped to just diluc if the video wasn’t more kaeya-centric, because i feel like while it represents the both of them, kaeya is the main character here.

    The confrontation:
    1:23 the same light that had once saved him and made him happy (diluc) is now what might have killed him.
    1:25 diluc’s face looks like it’s mostly in shadow here. He’s dealing with a lot of those “dark” emotions to the point they overwhelm him and. Well. We know what happens

    1:33 i really like this pic, and it looks like kaeya is sitting just outside of the reach of the light from the window; he’s purposely denying himself the light and comfort of the rgvndrs

    1:46 vs 1:48 (kaeya smiling with the knights in the bg vs diluc glaring over his shoulder, in case the time stamps don’t work)

    Kaeya’s eyes are both fully in the light. This is probably the happiest and most comfortable he’s been. He’s proud of his brother.
    Diluc’s eyes are in shadow, but the bottom of his face is in the light. Maybe deep down he knows kaeya’s not at fault, but he’s hiding that in favor of lashing out.

    1:49 covered eye in shadow, uncovered in the light. Kaeya reacting to the anger and trying to hide what’s he’s revealed.

    1:52 crepus himself (well.. his grave) is split perfectly down the middle between dark and light. He himself is a good balance of the two, given his shady past with the fatui and the love he gave his sons. I like to think that had he known, he would’ve accepted kaeya.

    1:57 theyre so split between the shadow and light that even the bouquet kaeya brought is fully in shadow
    The entire end sequence has kaeya is the dark and diluc in the light, and again, i think the video is mostly from kaeya’s pov. He sees himself as evil, secretive, and a “liar”, while he sees diluc as.. not perfect, but still better than he is. He sees him as being a better person than he is, even if he leaves the grave first.

    I also think the last bit with him lifting the eyepatch is more.. him confessing to crepus than anything else. Maybe he wants to “redeem” himself and stop being a “liar” to his dad, and even though it waited however many years, he still wants to reveal it.

    Overall, i think the “wire” here is fate. It was fate that kaeya was born into the plot, fate that he was dropped off at the winery, fate that he and diluc grew up as brothers, fate that crepus died, fate that they fell apart. They can’t escape it, but i don’t think either of them want to. I saw someone say that both of them can be each bird, that Diluc is the one that wants to flee, and kaeya is the one that can’t let go, but i think both are.. both birds. Both of them want to let go and move on and forget their painful pasts, even if it means giving up what they’ve meant to each other, but neither can bring themselves to do so.

    Phew sorry I’m procrastinating writing a paper rn so i took it out here.
    Again, love the video so much. I love the symbolism here, and i love ragbros so much. Amen.
