Personally, one of my favorite things to do to The Character is make them hangry. Give me a survival situation where food is scarce so everyone is on edge, irritable, and even people who REALLY love each other end up being nasty to each other. Oo i eat that shit up

i was thinking last night about varka and diluc's potential dynamic and i had the thought that maybe the reason they're both shown using wolf's gravestone is bcs varka wanted to pass the "knight of boreas" title down to diluc at some point

i dont have any evidence bar varka calling diluc "the pride of the knights" in his skin desc,

but also - in the chinese (+jp and kr)* version of kaeya's "about varka" line, he specifies that no one in the knights "these days" to inherit the grand master's approach to work, with could be referring to how diluc left the knights

*(with the note that while i ran these through google translate so maybe take it with a grain of salt, it did come up in all three)

#idk i think a mentor/protégé dynamic could be really fun esp bcs its the protégé thats dissillusioned as opposed to the mentor #yknow?#(and esp bcs afawk theyve not seen each other since just before diluc's 18th lmaooo)#MyTheCharacter

nefer voice line spoilers

hoyo finally giving us some diluc crumbs has made me so happy,,, wah,,,,

#genshin spoilers #also. talking with sarin at the guild w/ nefer reveals some interesting info #but mainly confirms that dilucs idle in his rdon skin is indeed from his network!#now whether thats the northern intel network or the snezhnograd veche (not sure on the spelling) remains to be seen #theres valid cause for either. im slightly leaning towards the latter bcs it seems more anti-fatui focused i think?#plus nefer is head of the nin so idk if diluc would be paying her if she's his boss #or smth idk #myTheCharacter

ok. i swear im not trying to always make everything about my The Character #mythecharacter but hoyo is in it's "lets bring back stuff from 1.0 and the manga!!" era so i simply. simply. have to mention it.

early on in the games lifespan, a lot of people theorised that vennessa and diluc were related:

red haired families

falcon theming - to the point that some have guessed his falcon is her*

in the manga, there's a portrait of her falcon form in his office

pyro

the fact that the dawn knight ragnvindr and vennessa were comrades and friends - vennessa founded the knights, ragnvindr founded the library found in the knights hq**

most importantly: the manga sets up a very clear parallel between vennessa fighting ursa the drake and diluc fighting ursa the drake

and now we have the lavawalker set being relevant again. and we know we're going further into the mare jivari in the coming future. and one part of the lavawalker set:

hmmm.

HMMM.

and ofc as a reminder: the manga came out in late 2018! the first cbt was june 2019! lavawalker is from 1.0! having two red heads connected to pyro, falcons, and a specific dragon makes it easy for lines to be drawn.

im perfectly willing to accept that posting this could be pre-ordering egg on my face come whatever update we get the next mare jivari quest in but in my defence. The Character.

tldr: the old "diluc is related to vennessa and the muratans" theory might actually be true and could also be connected to the phoenix of the mare jivari

*this theory is a little tenous bcs vennessa's falcon design does not resemble any known falcon in game - however again the manga is from 2018 and designs were liable to change (including diluc's himself!). of the falcons in game, none of them bear more than a passing resemblance but we won't know unless we get an updated design for her falcon form

**i cant believe i have to say this but two red-haired people can in fact have a family together. the fact that diluc's ancestor has been in mond since the archon war does not actually make the "vennessa ancestor" theory invalid. why is this a common rebuttal.

#i should make a my The Character tag tbh bcs this is getting silly #feel free to throw eggs at me im used to it at this point LMAO #i love genshin lore but im very bad at theories so i am often wrong dhdjjsksks #im not gonna maintag this its embarrasing enough djfjskkska #myTheCharacter

im half expecting for it to not be diluc bcs its hoyo and they dont like doing things with him. but what if.

#myTheCharacter #i might have to snag her anyway bcs as i said. im nosy !! i enjoy reading lore !!#plus her animations??? stunning.

anyway the reason why the delusion killed crepus and hasnt harmed diluc at all is because it was custom made for diluc, and crepus was never meant to wield it at all

aaaand post

#this is like half a joke post half theory #and half wondering what the cn original says bcs the 'you' in that sentence is doing some heavy lifting #to be real: the framing of the top panel where crepus says hes proud to the next where hes looking at the delusion does imply that it was-#meant for diluc. but it begs the question of why crepus had the delusion in the first place given diluc has had a vision since he was 10 #and ofc theres the deliberate decision to hide crepus' eyes this whole sequence which is! shady!#look. the devs must have reread the manga irt the muratans maybe we will finally get some answers in nod-krai. right? ....right?#anyway im off to play hollow knight yippeeee #myTheCharacter

anyway part-angel diluc communicating with the seelie like if you agree

#why else do you think he uses lamp grass one of the flower patches by the winery has three seelie around them #rare traditional doodle from me (cleaned up digitally lmao)#rotating him in my mind palace.#genshin impact #diluc #diluc ragnvindr #myTheCharacter

hold on. brain blast moment.

so its fairly well known that a lot of the important names in genshin take inspiration from old norse and germanic myths and legends

what's interesting mondstadt's families also use words from old norse as surnames. imunlaukr for example is a word for sword. gunnhildr is battle x2 and ragnvindr is either wind god or wind of the gods.

however. gunnhildr and ragnvindr both might also be referencing old norse legends. gunnr or guðr is a valkyrie (one of odin's specifically), who chooses the outcome of a battle.

ragn comes from regin which is also the name of character in norse mythos who is the brother of fáfnir and foster father of sigurd

whats especially interesting about regin is that in the ring of nibelung, where genshin takes inspiration for rhinedottir and other characters, the role of regin is instead played by the character of mime who is also the brother of alberich.
