` I'm In The Details With The Devil - Tumblr Posts
diluc's mother, esperanza (witch of the moon), was one of the members of the hexenzirkel and close friends with alice. she studied magic at the age of fifteen and was inducted into the circle when she moved from natlan to mondstadt, long before she met crepus. diluc is not fully aware of her ties.

wears ribbons and bows around his ponytails, usually in black
has wildly curly hair so he has to have a high rigorous maintenance routine it
loads his hair with products to keep it from floofing out
washes and braids his hair before bed so it's not a tangled mess in the morning
will let the klee braid his hair if she asked
hairstyles: ponytails (high & low), pigtails (low, resting on shoulders), buns, braids, half ponytails
wears dresses around the winery (sundresses) for particularly warm days. will sometimes wear fancy cocktail dresses to events
doesn't wear makeup but will put on lipbalm, cream and occasionally sunscreen when he's working out in the winery for the day
showers every night, some for hygiene, some just to relax from a long day
will take a bath if he's too stressed
uses products with coconut oil (hair) and aloe (skin) to lock in moisture
doesn't wear much jewelry beyond his vision and his cravat
when kaeya was a kid his most exacerbated reaction to getting hurt was a very pointed "ow" and one tear at most. meanwhile when diluc got hurt he would wail and sob and sniffle around all day afterwards. and yknow what i think that their essence hasn't changed now that they're adults. kaeya who says "this doesn't.. look good.." when he dies in game and diluc who says "my flame.....has been..extinguished....." like okay. we still know who's the most dramatic out of the two
๐ โ cyno telling a joke in the angel's share, and it's dead quiet until you hear a snort and chuckle. everyone turning to see diluc snickering to himself because the way cyno delivers his jokes tickled something in diluc's brain. diluc realizing this, diverts everyone's attention and then disappears out of embarrassment for another 4 years the next day
๐ โ finally meeting scaramouche for the first time and noticing the delusions look identical to visions, thinking about how crepus' delusion was on a glove which leads me to believe that the reason they look so different now is because he had a prototype, which explains why it not only backfired on him but also that he's a harbinger like I've been theorizing because why would the fatui hand out prototypes to the public. no one else had delusions but the fatui.
this is just a long-winded way of me saying crepus on this blog was the mysterious tenth harbinger but went on hiatus when he started a family.

a pro and a con ^_^
pro:
diluc's love language is gifts and acts of service. he wants his lover to feel appreciated and even spoiled. granted he won't simply drop thousands of mora on his partner, but he'll give gifts that comes from the heart or things that his partner likes and wanted. he's very observant so he knows everything about his significant other, so he likes to surprise them.
con:
he's a very a busy person. not to say he'll ignore his lover or spend time with them, but there are times where he can't predict if he'll have a hectic schedule, and he'll be swept away with matters involving the winery, or his vigilante duties, so there's a good chance he won't be around often

diluc was diagnosed horny bottom (i don't have the link anymore sorry)

acerbic wit
you're a mentor โ an old scarred wolf, an injured soldier, a disgraced paladin. your teachings read as shamelessly pretentious, speaking in rhymes and biting down hard into anyone stupid enough to make the wrong move. this isn't your first life, nor your second, nor your sixth โ you'll make the most of your time shackled to this world, no matter how many loops it takes to get it right. with every defeat, you reincarnate; a little smarter, a little quicker, crueler and nastier. will you choose to be brutal, equalizing, that final strike in the face of your enemies? will you go soft, become tender and domesticated? the choice is yours. it's not like i can stop you.

diluc was terrified of the dark as a child. literally couldn't go to bed in complete darkness or silence
๐
while grape juice is his favorite, he developed an obsession with lemonade, especially strawberry lemonade
๐ ๐ !
he let kaeya braid his hair when they were younger. he currently allows klee to braid his hair if she asked
he loves cyno's humor. crepus was literally the dad joke type of dad so diluc is 100% used to it and lives for them
๐ !
he may not show it but he knows every single dirty juicy bit of gossip in town
๐
he can play the violin but he had done it more as a child as he's far too busy to get back into it nowadays
๐๐
looks like he eats salads, greens, healthy stuff when in reality, he's a ravenous carnivore
while he isn't much of a sweet tooth, he likes baking in his free time
๐
he'll listen to classical music, usually when he's reading or trying to get through his endless paperwork
๐๐๐๐๐๐ gimme multiple verses hcs coward
main:
he took his birth name and reclaimed it, turning it into his archon name
he was an equestrian when he was growing up, had a beautiful black horse he named nox
reincarnation:
he has a horrible memory. it's not that he forgets easily, it's that everything blurs together and he often gets confused about his memories and which ones belong to when and where
phoenix:
because he's part phoenix, his bird-like tendencies leak through. so he will feel compelled to snatch up anything that's shiny
harbinger:
no surprise to anyone but he has beef with tartaglia regardless of whether or not he's a harbinger himself. he finds him lowkey obnoxious, not to mention, tartaglia is hydro so his displeasure also hinges on that. he does admire tartaglia's fighting skills, but he just can't stand his attitude
diluc essentially takes over his father's spot as the tenth harbinger
๐~
diluc can sing, he just chooses not to โ not in front of people at least
๐๐๐
while it's not a 1:1 comparison, because of his experience with wielding a claymore, diluc also knows how to use and fight with a scythe
he thinks venti's genuinely talented at his music, he'd just never admit it to him
the traveler reminds him of kaeya when kaeya was first brought into the family
