Yandere Diluc College au Headcanons:

*Diluc is known as a respectful and diligent student. No one would expect different from the son of the prestigious and affluent Ragnvindr family.

*Diluc has ample experience dealing with people who approach him for financial or status gain

*Yet you were different. He met you through Kaeya and yearned for you ever since

*Unlike his brother, Diluc has zero experience with courting. He isn't even sure how to approach you without Kaeya to bounce off

*His brain also short-circuits when he tried to speak with you (he was hoping to ask you on a date but jumbled his words so badly, he ended up fleeing in embrassment)

*Secret Admirer Type

*Has difficulty maintaining eye contact without becoming a mess

*So he settled with sending you yearning looks from a distance and anonymous gifts

*Also a big fan of sending you anonymous letters expressing his affections

*You complemented his bartending skills once. Now he tags along to Kaeya's parties, hoping to run into you and impress you again

*If you approach Diluc and further develop the relationship beyond surface level, he slowly becomes more unhinged and possessive

*Everyone and everything begins to feel like a threat. He'll begin to plot solutions to these problems

*He could easily make people disappear if needed

*Diluc is an honest person, so he'll share these thoughts with you. Depending on how you respond will influence how he acts.

hi! this is the anon that made an ask about diluc and xiao~ i'll be straight with you, i loved them!!!

first off, i really, really really, really love how real and accurate your analyses feels!!! your point of view of how characters are just feels so real and fleshed out, and what i love about them is that you're not afraid to give the characters some flaws.

i really loved how you presented diluc on this one. despite it being obvious that he's a serious character archetype, i just feel he gets misinterpreted a lot when it comes to relationship headcanons. in some fics he feels too smooth (almost to a level where you'd expect kaeya to be), and i love the way you presented his awkwardness and stiffness which i definitely relate to lol.

as for xiao's, i just like how you added a detail that made him feel soft for me. not the uwu kind of soft, just... it really painted him as a gentle soul kind of person.

i do get your sentiment about his karmic debt not making it into real life au's. i kind of expected him to be depicted as having some kind of chronic illness that puts him in a lot of pain from time to time.

thank you so much for this!!! ♡

Aaaaa thank you so much!!

Honestly I would say that, especially for this recent bunch of characters, Hoyoverse has been doing a great job at giving them personality. But even with the older characters, they drop hints here and there about the kind of people they are, so it’s really fun to analyze them as a whole.

I have to agree the same with Diluc. While I don’t doubt he can be smooth, I feel this is something that would come more with time with a reader that teaches him that it is okay to relax a bit. As a whole, once you get past his cold exterior, Diluc is portrayed as a proper, yet awkward person. At the same time, he’s not cruel. He willingly donates to Razor’s brew, he goes with the gang to the Golden Apple Archipelago, he invites the Traveler out to have dinner at the Dawn Winery. He is undoubtedly warm. He just has a hard time showing it.

And as for Xiao, I just personally feel that he is a soft person. Like you said, not in the uwu sort of way, but it shows clearly in just the way he is. Like he agrees to accompany the Traveler to Liyue Harbor despite not being comfortable around people, he finds Hu Tao amusing, the other yaksha felt free to draw on his face when he was sleeping… He’s a soft person.

And yeah, I expect the same for having a karmic debt equivalent in real life aus. Like a lot of his character is him staying away from people due to the effect that his karmic debt can have on them. That karmic debt is a ticking time bomb that even almost exploded quite recently had Venti not been there for the latest Lantern Rite. It just seems like an essential thing to have for him.

#anon #thank you so much for sending in for diluc and xiao too #i never talk abt diluc but i do have a lowkey obsession with him #like idk if you saw it in my personal i think i mentioned it there but did you know diluc doesn’t eat vegetables?#like he seems like the kind of person that’d nag kaeya abt the dangers of drinking everyday when like….#there he is eating ‘once upon a time in mondstadt’ as if that isn’t gonna give him a heart attack #i bet adelind forces him to eat his veggies #and xiao #he’s hard writing for because i live off of dialogues and he doesn’t speak much but i do enjoy thinking abt him #i have a few fics i want to write for him one day #when work starts to die down at least
