ALTERNATIVELY: dehya and diluc are so unbelievably kdrama coded that i need to talk about it due to its high importance
MASTERLIST
— DEHYA
she's too good at anything deemed societally masculine. physical sports, shooting guns, manhandling perpetrators... you name it, she does it better than a man. literally the female version of luke pearce from tears of themis.
think jung taeeul from the king: eternal monarch. she can and will get shit done, and she's super girlboss about it too.
she's the girl crush that makes every female have their gay awakening (see also: yuri from xo, kitty). she supports women, takes care of her friends, is so fiercely protective... honestly, she definitely has a fanclub consisting of females surrounding her.
she's also incredibly sunbae coded. she will look after her juniors and treat them once every while to keep their spirits up (cue the big sparkly eyes as they praise her, "dehya-noona! dehya-unnie!"). the juniors worship the ground she walks on and idolise her.
she will princess carry you when you're injured (cue that one scene from strong woman do bongsoon where bongsoon just runs with minhyuk in her arms) and kabedon you unintentionally. prepare yourself to get dommed and blush intensely.
in a modern au, she will be the sort that goes gymming with a sports bra and her attire just shows off her navel (and you can bet she's got abs) and you will be drooling. there are no exceptions for whatever gender her victims are.
— DILUC RAGNVINDR
he fits every checkbox of what every kdrama male lead is like: he's attentive, he's caring, he gets jealous... he's very versatile like that lmao
he's the oppa type that will observe you silently. you're sick? he's got you covered and is right by your side, changing wet towels for you. you're cold? say less, he will warm himself up using his vision and share body heat with you, with his jacket wrapped around you.
he's also the type to invite you over to his mansion to try anything he makes. he's good in the kitchen and will make anything you ask for (cue that one scene from business proposal where taemoo just rents out a whole bistro or something to cook for hari). (adelinde watches as the young master cooks, an absolute sight to behold for any other young maiden in mondstadt, really. donna is green with envy.)
he gets jealous only when these conditions are met at the same time: you're giving him the silent treatment after an argument and you're talking to this other person whom he's noticed you spending more time with recently right in front of him. bonus points is when you get touchy with the person. you'd better get yourself ready because this man will drag you aside and confront you about it which leads to him pretty much making out with you lmao.
like dehya, he will princess carry you and kabedon you as well
modern au diluc would be such a sugar daddy and he will literally leave his black card with you and be alright with you buying anything with it ("anything to make you happy, my love," is his reasoning as he kisses you on the forehead)
