guys im too obsessed with diluc... its 6am...

anyway archer diluc where he's actually not a good shot as a kid because his eyes are a lil blurry so crepus just makes the target a bit bigger

archer diluc where he gets bruises on his arms because the string would hit it when he releases (totally not projecting here sorry)

archer diluc where he feels better about his skills after he takes out a hilichurl with a headshot because his sword wasn't available to him at that time

archer diluc who, as his teen years kick in, treats archery as a hobby than a weapon he'd actually use because he liked close combat more. he would have very accurate aim and the bow wasn't heavy in his hands anymore (claymores are waaay heavier)

archer diluc who hasn't picked up a bow in a really long while as he rose in the ranks of favonius. he only picks it up a few times in snezhnaya as warning for the fatui

archer diluc treating his bow like an old friend, using it as a form of focus, release, and clarity. after all, he wouldn't dare lose his target.

bonus under the cut

archer diluc teaching you how to shoot for the first time and while you're not flimsy with it, he puts you against his chest and holds the bow with you. you can feel his breathing against you

archer diluc who kisses your forehead (or pats your head for platonic diluc likers) whenever you hit on or near the bullseye

archer diluc who's happy and eager to teach you one of his first combat trainings. and if you're better than him, he just admires you more
