#i say ironically bc kaeya got his vision right as he admitted his betrayal

[pyrodigy]

    diluc’s biggest fear is water. oceans as far as the eye can see or that you cant see the bottom of are terrifying to him. rivers and lakes are the bane of his existence. he has nightmares of tidal waves crashing down on him and strong currents pulling him under. he obviously knows how to swim and he will dive in when absolutely necessary, but nothing makes him more uneasy than being submerged.

     and for that reason he is also instinctively more wary around hydro wielders.

#⌜ headcanon ⌟ #i feel compelled to out him now that ive been revealing this in dms #he watches klee playing around a lake bombing fish and happily jumping in to catch them like. cant relate #he nearly blacked out from sheer terror the first time he saw childe's whale #hes not the kind to freeze or hesitate mid battle ofc #but if theres one thing in his entire life that made him go 'oh hell no'. thats it #ironically enough the oceanid isnt too bad for him to handle mentally #since its just regularly-sized animal mimics #instead of gigantic masses of water aiming to drown him alive #its manageable aside from the constant rain which is ofc an inconvenience to pyros everywhere #also ironically the best protection against water is ice #it can freeze paths over bodies of water or hydro projectiles before they can douse his fire #i say ironically bc kaeya got his vision right as he admitted his betrayal #meaning he never got to be that kind of shield for his brother even though he was meant to #:)

     i’m not sure i’ve ever said so explicitly on here so here goes ! diluc’s biggest fear is water. oceans as far as the eye can see or that you cant see the bottom of are terrifying to him. rivers and lakes are the bane of his existence. he has nightmares of tidal waves crashing down on him and strong currents pulling him under. he obviously knows how to swim and he will dive in when absolutely necessary, but nothing makes him more uneasy than being submerged.
