🌙 — diluc had the fluffiest, curliest, unruliest hair when he was a child. it was literally untameable, it couldn't even be styled because it was so thick and wild
i'll articulate my thoughts better later but for now take my messy ramble. using the current interaction as a springboard, i'm gonna touch on diluc's extremely unhealthy idolization of crepus and the impact it has on him and his life.
across all the board and all verses, no matter which way it goes, diluc has and always will view crepus in a golden light. i touched on this briefly in his bio, but it is true when i say that he lived and breathed for crepus, and allowed crepus to influence his life because why question that? in his eyes, crepus was a great dad — fun, loving, supportive — so there was never a single doubt in his mind about crepus. so he was ready to take on anything his father wanted him to do: become a knight (or become a harbinger), carry on the clan's legacy, etc.
but this mentality has huge repercussions. viewing his father as perfect, diluc blinds himself (intentionally or not) to the fact that crepus had flaws. he can't and won't ever see his father in a bad light, and if his viewpoint gets challenged, he goes off.
this is dangerous in his alternate verses, most especially his harbinger verse. this life wasn't and will never be for a literal child, and crepus was wrong to raise diluc into it with the intentions of priming him to take over for himself. this is why diluc is so stubborn and volatile, especially when his faith is pushed at.
worst part of it is whether or not he's aware of his idolization. he can't face the idea of crepus having faults or being wrong. it's unfathomable to him, especially when he dedicated so much of his life to him.
diluc wears low ponytails rather than high ponytails like he used to. high ones tend to give him a headache after a few hours due to the constant tight pulling of his roots, scalp and hair throughout the day, especially with how thick his hair is.
if he isn't wearing his hair down, he either has it in a low ponytail or in a loose braid.
