Crepus - Tumblr Posts

He got some fact checking to do

Who's ready for my Master Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss Crepus Theory!!

I originally posted this over at Hoyolab and people there seemed to really like my favorite joke theory that Crepus just tries to gaslight the whole of Mondstadt right after obtaining Kaeya

Majority of this will be the same but with little tweaks for the wonderful tumblr audience

This joke stems from Kaeya's introduction:

and the use of the word "rumored"

Cause it's not like it said beyond Teyvat or the seven nations just Mondstadt

And I mean like c'mon how many families are living off the grid in Mondstadt

(Actually... Don't answer that I forgot Glory's boyfriend is just

Out there in the bush with Razor...)

Initially I had the idea of Crepus walking around the markets one day carrying Kaeya with Diluc beside him running into Varka who asks:

"Who's the boy?"

"You mean my son?"

"Not Diluc the boy you're carrying"

"I have two sons? You know this??"

But then the Caribert quest came out mentioning Kaeya ran away from home near immediately and was dragged home by Crepus just as fast and it became even funnier

Cause imagine you're by the docks one day and richest man in town gets off the boat with no cargo but instead a tiny child you may not have seen before that Crepus seems to be very cross with at the moment and threatening to turn him into a leash kid if he runs off again

In a small town that loves gossip do you know how fast that information is spreading? Cause I do and Varka's knocking on Crepus's door 30 minutes later like:

"Is this what we're doing? We're just taking kids now?"

Both paths lead to Varka asking where Kaeya comes from and getting hit with a

"I think you're a bit too old to still be confused about the birds and the bees Varka"

Varka getting frustrated to the point he just starts demanding Kaeya tell him what's up

Love to see him following in his fathers footsteps of stressing Varka the fuck out

And upon hearing how his birth father left for juice and didn't return Varka went

"Good! That was ALL I needed to know!!"

Follow ups on if his father intended to abandon him or got lost in the storm and needed a search party?

Don't care!! You weren't kidnapped!!

Welcome to the knights! 🤝

Which bringing it back to it only being a rumor

In a town of alcoholics, who's gonna call out the one guy with the winery?

Here's some add ons that got sparked from the comment section 😘

Bonus panels would have included Varka showing up with Rosaria one day mimicking Crepus about "wHaT you ForGot I haD a Kid" sparking a trend within the community of just adopting random children to the point posters are made saying "In Barbatos name: See a child Take a child"

Alice seeing it and pulling a "when in rome" tucking both Albedo and Diluc(who is yelling he is an adult) under her arms and telling Klee if she ever sees someone in need of a mom let her know she'll send over the paperwork right away

And then the last bonus: Venti wakes up, walks in through the gate while playing a tune, and stops when he sees the poster, not sure if he needs to start yet another revolution, or if this one is fine actually

I imagine the posters had to be taken down because visitors were losing their kids left and right and the solution of parents pinning a note saying "not dead & still want custody" to their kids shirt didn't catch on but the saying still lives strong in the hearts of Mondstadt's citizens I mean look Bennett and his 27 dads Mondstadt may have a lot of orphans but the demand is even higher

Comment on original post:

"I have a headcanon where Kaeya fooled first Crepus, then the rest of Mondstadt but.this is too funny!! I want to see this happening!"

Which prompted one of my new favorite lines at the end:

"Wait by fool Crepus first do you mean like Crepus finding him out in the storm bringing him inside to ask him where he lives and Kaeya's just

"? I live here? You adopted me? Are you feeling okay?"

Cause I'm absolutely cry laughing over this that's so good but that also means when Kaeya runs away Crepus is just

"hey no no l'm not misplacing you a second time come home" "

it's juice

Another Crepus crumb for the hornies🙏

I AM FROTHING AT THE MOUTH OMG

Diluc: *Massacring Fatui loyalists by the hundreds*

Columbina: What do we do with him?

Arlecchino: Why don't I want him dead?

Sandrone: He looks like he needs therapy... should we give him therapy?

Pantalone: I think he's cute

Capitano (Crepus): Indeed. Therapy it is.

Signora: I'll go with whatever the Regrator says (Inspired by the fact that I HC her as having a soft spot for him because he looks like he could be the child of her and her husband)

Diluc: *Confused as fuck but now covered in blood*

Adelinde and Elzer: *Concerned*

(Pulcinella, Pierro and Dottore were excluded on purpose)

Ragnvindr Family (minus Adelinde and Elzer) <3

Seashell-collecting time

(Platonic/familial)

I miss Crepus and his kids so

"He must have enjoyed it."

I see canon Crepus content, so I rush to draw this,, I imagine Crepus was probably thinking about the drink but he forgot to say anything and Diluc just stood there 🧍

Ragnvindr Family (minus Adelinde and Elzer) <3

Doodle dump (Fatui Kaeya AU and bonuses)

Context under the cut:

1: tartag and yaya on house (palace??) arrest bcs they broke their body

2: fatui training is hard but it's necessary aka I miss drawing Pierro and Kaeya

3: matching eyepatch

4-6: post timeline erasure. Kaeya's seelie (twilight) still remembers Scara even if Kaeya doesn't

7: made before wanderer quest. The good ending where they meet each other again

8: redraw of my old ragnvindr family drawing

9: jean and Kaeya dancing

he'll give them the talk....eventually

thinking about him just. completely panicking and telling them he doesn't know how babies are made and adelinde is just sighing in the background
