saw your Diluc thoughts and his shady organization and huge network and here's some thoughts bc Diluc 💖💖💖
honestly if you think about it, is it really just tragic parent death + brother betrayal that caused him to be so... closed off and determined? like it makes you wonder how much more did he witness/experience in his travel to turn him into what he is now.
friendly reminder that this was a daddy's boy, raised in a noble household. Pure, sappy, diligent Diluc who wanted to be a knight for his father and for Mondstadt! But in one of his first game appearances, we see that he's perfectly capable of torture interrogation and other shady things.
How fast did things go downhill for him in the past 4 years? what else did he experience and what else did he had to resort on doing for his personality to change into that? (Ive been reading a lot of corruption plots where iconic heros turn dark lately and it shows 😩 but fr, there's a lot and personalities can't change that quick)
bonus but how did Kaeya feel witnessing this immediate change? Sure they fought before he left but remember, to Kaeya, his brother was still this very image of an idealistic son wearing white. All of a sudden he comes back and he's nothing like he was before (on the surface).
I mean ya, there were a lot of things that piled on top of each other to cause Diluc to leave and to shift / alter his entire personality -- spoilers under the cut
traumatic event that happened days between one another:
Event 1: the death of his father by his own hands (diluc killed his own father)
Event 2: finding out Kaeya was sent as a 1. spy or 2. destroy Mondstadt
Event 3: Eroch, Knight of Favonious Inspector, telling Diluc to cover up Crepus’s death so the knights weren’t seen as failures because (A. they didn’t kill the dragon, and B. it was killed by Diluc’s father who sacrificed his life to save the city and his son from dying but who was never a knight, was never given that right, and was shunned by them)
After those all happened within days of his birthday, he basically learned that nothing mattered and went off on a suicide mission to find the answers himself, torture means nothing when you literally don’t care about life anymore - which brought him to the mysterious organization that’s not really mentioned much in his story
when he returns he isn’t like himself, even in the Manga (which seems to take place directly before the appearance of the traveler so - 3/4 years after his 18th birthday (Varka is gone, Jean is the headmaster)) - Diluc hasn’t given up his secretive, underground ways of dealing with things and not only straight up murders people but is seen to carry the delusion his father once used (it’s speculated he fusses with his left glove because of the weight of the delusion he once wore - (edit: he left it behind!) when the game starts he no longer carries it but I’m sure it’s still around if he needs it)
We only know a little bit about his behaviors before from flashbacks, but other than him being generally happier, he still has a lot of the same characteristics
Diligent: he learned how to wield a bunch of weapons and can also fight openly and in secret like an assassin (look at baby boy in the manga T.T)
Capable: business oriented, fighting oriented, communication oriented (he grew up as a noble yes, so he has a lot of skill talking to people and dealing with things), can talk himself out of a situation or just kill them - either or
Dedicated: he became the youngest Calvary captain and also shot up in the ranks of the organization who rescued him, runs a global wide wine industry
Considers / Compassionate: cares deeply for Kaeya even still, considered him family, will help the traveler without questioning it, fights for a city he still loves because his father loved it so much
sensitive: he worries about people not liking him (Klee, Diona, even Kaeya in some way), just listen to his line about Diona and learning she just doesn’t like alcohol that it’s not him she dislikes -- he’s so relieved and shocked
impatient: boy gots himself into trouble time and time again, fight me
His personality didn’t change, the characteristics of each one adapted to what he needed them to be at the time -- Diluc might not be the happy, inspired boy he ways but it’s mainly because he’s traumatized and doesn’t trust people anymore -- he’s still Diluc deep down and I think Kaeya sees that when he looks at him.
I have a lot of thoughts that I outlined in my character analysis - but he didn’t change over night, he had a traumatic tri-fecta happen to him in the span of a few days, went out on a murder spree of Fatui, almost died, joined an organization that shared his insight on the Fatui (like minds and all) and learned more from them and then just --- came home (this is where we don’t have a lot of reasons why he came home but his post in Mondstadt on Cat’s Tail is very telling that he learned being reckless and holding onto hate was not the way to live his life anymore)
hardships wear on everyone and while he doesn’t show it on the surface you’ll find his pain all over his skin and inside the heart no one can get in -- he is very guarded and does things on his own -- after everything he’s went through, I am impressed he came back at all
I'm bored but i have home work to do still idk what to do .
I'm procrastinating too much m
he is the funniest guy in the world i’m afraid
Lewis and Charles both have Seb's phone number. They should just call him for strategy during the race.
Colourful new commission. Another showing for Good Omens which pops up on about every third list I get sent! I like varying the covers I use for it and I particularly like this one with a little relaxing Crowley
currently trying not to throw up at work bc of the danny news…
literally what sense does this move make? even if danny wasn’t performing up to the standards VCARB had, why switch him with lawson now when there are SIX races left??
VCARB is 52 points behind Aston Martin in the constructors. there’s no way they could make up enough of that gap for it to matter in just SIX RACES
not to mention Danny is marketing GOLD. hell, his management team was the one that got VCARB the Cash App sponsorship in the first place!
at the very least, they could have been respectful about this and let him finish out the season and then signed Lawson for next year
danny is a man who is an impeccable ambassador for the sport — literally the first driver we meet on Drive to Survive — who always has a smile on his face even when he’s trying not to cry. after everything he went through at red bull, renault, mclaren… we thought him coming back to the red bull family would only help him
i hope his life becomes much easier now that he doesn’t have to deal with red bull’s bs
