//kaeya hangout spoilers

im making so many posts abt his hangout but like its so deserved !! there is an insane amount of double meanings in his hangout and its sending me reeling!!

with the play ending the whole thing is basically to tell us kaeya is deciding to step away from the role he was designed to play in the story and he wants to live his life as a child of mondstat, until he dies there, and that he considers mondstat his home now. which is fun and all!! but then you think, if he said that he is to draw his last in a place far from home, but he considers mondstat his home, then that doesnt very much bode well for him does it?

one of my favorite things they decided to do is this little thing!!

and it seems so unassuming at first more like of a reminder that the improv was kaeya talking yeah obviously, but the choice of the wording being "not the prince's" instead of not qubad's or not the character's feels so telling to me.

like it feels like hyv is telling us "the entire monologue was nice and meaningful and all, but dont forget that it was kaeya speaking, outside of his role as a prince or a pawn or whatnot." and sort of implying that no matter what he says he can't really rid himself of the shackles of fate as he chooses to put it
