so i was thinking about that post i rb'd earlier re- characters not being the 'perfect victim' and lashing out and stuff

and i have a full draft post about it but. it struck me. why i dont like a lot of diluc's fanon characterisation

i think its bcs that. while him being angry, to the point of destruction, at the faceless fatui who got his father killed is seen as a good thing, he's almost constantly demonised about lashing out towards kaeya, when kaeya hurt him deeply, instead of just sitting back and keeping him emotions ""in check"" (heavy sarcasm)

and you can see it in how the fanon has just decided that diluc was trying to kill kaeya that night, despite the text only saying they fought and kaeya getting an injury, and how there's a running theme in ragbros fics about diluc having to apologise for his wrongful actions, with kaeya's actions either being brushed off or non-existant

#like. mm.#i think im stirring the pot with this take but yeah #i dont think i can even remember the last fic i read that properly acknowledged how much kaeya actually hurt diluc #bcs everyone focuses on the injury. so kaeya /must/ be woobified (which hoooo. i have THOUGHTS about some of the kaeya takes ive seen)#i would even dare say diluc was justified to be angry at kaeya - not to hurt him - but to be angry.#god. im sorry i have a lot more thoughts but tldr:#fandom when diluc kills fatui : SLAY KING #fandom when diluc snaps at and gives kaeya a mild injury: evil die a thousand deaths how could you keep ur emotions in check-#you get the idea.#posts that are gonna get me bullied on twitter //bricked #step right up! || 🪄.txt
