NOTE: I only included human or at least human-esque characters since it doesn’t make sense to diagnose the non-human characters with human disorders. I have names for what these disorders would be called in Teyvat, but for simplicity’s sake, I’m just gonna call them what we call them in these HCs
DISCLAIMER: These are purely headcanons. I am not a psychologist and I have no expertise in the area. This post is in no way meant to be taken as informative science. This was made for fun and are just based on my own personal experiences with these disorders and who I personally think would have them.
Diluc
• chronic depression with bouts of severe and seasonal (around Crepus’ death anniversary)
• PTSD (his father’s death)
• anxiety (esp. social anxiety)
he started taking meds for anxiety after his doctor insisted on them, but takes nothing for depression
Kaeya
• chronic depression, high functioning (undiagnosed)
low key self-medicates with alcohol and is a bit of an alcoholic bc of it
Rosaria

Collei

Ya know I jokingly said this one shot was going to be 10k words but it is at 9200 last I looked at it and I have a few more scenes to write. I'd make it multi-chapter if there was a convenient place for one but there really isn't. I mean there's a few but I really don't want to interrupt the flow. Ya know?
So this was a project from my seventh grade drama class, we did monologues, but I chose to write my own #perfectionistproblems
Apparently twelve year old Zac was a surrealist at heart. Beckett, here I come!
I cannot remember my thought process while writing this so if anyone has any ideas as to who the character might be, like what kind of person... please let me know
Every day I stand around; all day waiting for the nothing I know is going to happen. And when it happens I am totally surprised that it doesn’t happen the way I wanted it to happen.
Its not easy being evil, for nothing never ever happens all the time. You want respect, See? Now, I’m a threat. You respect me. But not for very long. For when nothing happens, as it usually does, you have nothing to be feared for. That seeds rebellion. And rebellion denies fear and without fear I am nothing. So anything in happening that does not cause something else to happen makes it harder to be evil. And as for the nothing that happens each day I want to escape, I want to escape myself. But I cant. I must remain faithful to my duty, waiting for the nothing that is going to happen.
