albedo: i hope you can deal with the consequences i give you if you do that

 

venti: i love your little omegaverse polycule

 

childe: my omega’s are so abusive towards me

 

kaeya: ???

kaeya: Where did that come from?

kaeya: Aren’t alphas supposed to be the abusive ones?

venti: are you stereotyping alphas?? woww
