i've been meaning to address this and i will add this to my rules if i ever remember, but : ( under the cut )

i will no longer be listening to any "he said / she said" or any sort of "warnings" about people in the roleplay community. i dealt with enough of it last year, and a lot of those "warnings" turned out to be lies, cherry picked "evidence" and other forms of misinformation. so unless there are active, actual crimes like literal abuse + such with real evidence not taken out of context, i will not be listening to those "warnings."

i, believe it or not, am a grown adult and am capable of making my own decisions and gaining my own opinion of other people. i am tired of having my hand held and being influenced or pressured to block people, especially over lies.

grap just

gonna make actual headcanons bc brain is chugging

diluc and his staff making baskets the night before and letting them be gifts from the anemo god who yes absolutely is friends with the easter bunny (for those who believe in said bunny)

has a lil area for everyone to decorate eggs in the patio behind the manor; has paints, dyes, etc for them to use

makes everyone who's participating in the hunt go inside so he and his staff can hide the eggs

diluc planting special eggs with mora inside

the staff making food and there's cute lil snacks and desserts in the shape of bunnies and carrots

picture this for me, will you: it's easter and diluc decides to host a cute lil easter egg hunt and festivities at the winery. lets all the kids and the young adults have fun (I say young adult like he's not 22 smh).

just. the cuteness of it all 🥺

Lays across the tavern bar. "I'm on the menu." He is not on the menu but some taverngoers find him funny enough to order their usual drink and Aether.

an amused smirk sketches across his face before he shakes his head.

"is that so? i do wonder when i added it. feel free to refresh me, dear traveler, i'm awfully forgetful." he slides said menu over.

this event has solidified the fact that diluc is genuinely caring and affectionate towards others despite not physically showing it.

first exhibit is his attitude towards traveler. not only does he meet the traveler's teasing with his own playfulness, but if you somehow can't make his potion the first try and have to use a second cycle, he quite literally: apologizes for adding more pressure, tells traveler he understands how much work it is, and then encourages them to try again, that he believes in them, and that he'll happily wait until they're satisified with the results for his order. word for word says "i believe in you." and then when it's complete, he praises them for their hard work and commends their skill

second exhibit is the potion itself. diluc, for all his grumping and huffing, genuinely does care for others. he quite literally comes up with the idea to use our potion not only in drinks but also infused in candles and fragrances. he had already wanted it to be used for drinks, but with the potent and the effects it had on him, diluc is now going out of his way to supply this anxiety relieving potion for others in other methods so they can relax and have a moment to breathe.

so not only is diluc protecting the people at night so they sleep safely, but now he's providing another form of relaxation so they're not overworked and can enjoy life instead of stressing. yes, i know he harps on the knights and kaeya (kaeya being a personal headcanon i have), but at the end of the day, under that mask of his, he cares so much and so deeply for others, even with his complex feelings.

long story short, diluc is a sweetheart and canon continues to prove me right every time

the phoenix bird: hope, rebirth, strength, and transformation. the eternal fire of commitment to one's faith.
