Ok I can't keep it in my drafts this time. enlighten me if you want; why do people think Diluc is like, a good guy?

Let me be clear, I love Diluc, but I also think he's kind of a shithead. I don't think his actions towards Kaeya can ever be construed as reasonable, his decision to seek vengeance alone irresponsible (even if Kaeya encouraged him), and his vigilantism a product of his paternalistic belief that only he knows what's good for Mondstadt (untrue).

Diluc in the present is the man trying to come back from the bad person he has been. But his solution is to force himself to do a job he never thought he'd have and challenge random Fatui factions to a fight so he can torture them in his basement. I think he has the capacity for good in him, and is trying to change, but I don't see why people think that his actions were all totally a good idea and when we say he's "an uncrowned king of Mond" that's not like, frightening.

#talking point #diluc #not brave enough to put this in his full name tag lmaooo #but no genuinely i just sorta see diluc as being made very untrusting of authority because of crepus' bitterness about the kof #people act like hes right and the KOF arent effective when like... they are? diluc just doesn't like that in his eyes they betrayed him #which isnt even really true but hed know that if he hadnt left jean and kaeya in the lurch to deal with the corruption in the organization #anyway diluc has unchecked anger issues (and autism) and is a victim of his inability to trust others enough to be part of their community #and like 2024 diluc is definitely the closest to better weve seen clearly he likes the traveler and their presence is a great help here #but mond is a land of freedom it has no place for kings #diluc knows this too #god forgive me for speaking negatively of popular blorbo who i also happen to like a lot #i just like him... because he is fucked up and trying #oh in b4 someone says that diluc wasnt acting rationally vis a vis kaeya bc daddy died: i know #in fact i think he may have been under the influence of the delusion (hc) but thats not my point #the point is i dont think anything kaeya couldve said was worth trying to kill him over thx #if this post disappears in a couple hours its cause i got scared people were gonna boo me for it
