Me, chilling vibing: :)

My brain: So, what if Diluc also had time spent in the Abyss while in his jaunt in Snezhnaya bc he'd fallen to it in trying to escape pursuit by the Fatui/a Harbinger, and thus his particular pursuit of the Abyss Order happened to result of the things he'd seen there and the creatures that tried to prey on his grief/negative emotions, thus wanting to protect the people of Mondstadt from such things. Part of the reason he was able to survive using the Delusion constantly happened to be unwittingly being tainted by it. Though not without price-

#☆ ┆ ( .ooc. );#//I like to think it's also why he might wind up with such a destructive fighting style #//Apart from surviving on his own in Snezhnaya and needing to be absolutely Ape Shitt to make sure no one could ever get in close #//If anyone got within meters of him; it was curtains for him: His thought process throughout that whole time #//With the Evil Eye; it was all too easy to kill from afar; particularly the weaker grunts he came across; & rlly make it HURT too #//Then with this idea; his more ruthless combat style would become the very reason he even makes it out of there alive #//Esp resolving to become every bit the monster these creatures are or worse; if he's the bigger/badder combatant; he WILL survive #//It's not until he'd get out of there and travel around teyvat as he'd promised Alice that he'd slowly start to phase out of that mindset #//Bc then he doesn't NEED to be a monster like that anymore #//Of course it would still stain the fabric of his very being. One does not delve into the Abyss' clutches and come out unscathed after all #//There are times where his instinctive reactions or bursts of temper tend to go overboard; esp when dealing with human enemies #//Times like those scare him bc he wouldn't be able to tell how much of that is the Delusion's influence or worse #//Bc the Evil Eye would be in his mind for years before he'd relinquish and destroy it; and probably haunt him for the rest of his life #//Bc of how dependent he'd become of it in that time. Add in a potential; even if brief; Abyssal corruption; and well-#//Eh; this is a fun idea but idk if I would want to incorporate it fully kjdgdrg #//Bc I'd already have too much going on with my hc of him being Nicole's son #//And thus those Hexenzirkel ties already giving him latent abilities neither he nor his father were rlly privy too #//Or if Crepus was; he died before he could give Luc a proper rundown #//And THAT is precisely what spared Luc from dying/suffering more at the Evil Eye's influence like Crepus did #//But EH #//I do like that being a reason why Alice in particular wanted to keep an eye out on him over most others in Mond (save Bedo & Klee)#hc; diluc #//Well; I kinda have to add that for the last few tags jhdbfgdfg
