Chiluc Headcanons

[Series: 1/?]

You know it started out as a joke... Then a Six Hour Rant happened later... and bro I don't think it's a joke anymore...

> 1. How would Diluc react to Childe having a vision and delusion?

Diluc's father died because he had abused his delusion, in a act of love to protect what's important to him. But because of his desperation of wanting a vision to do more than he could already, as well as how the gods hadn't favored his efforts yet, it led to his downfall. As a result, I think Diluc knew his father 100% was aware of the consequences of using a delusion, as well as it was his own hubris that led him down that path. So, Diluc knows he can't place all the blame onto the Fatui for manipulating him into purchasing such a dangerous merchandise.

So when Childe uses his delusion in one of their fights for the first time, Diluc freezes completely and if Childe was any less careful he would've killed him. That 100% is their first real argument. Diluc is terrified that Childe is using both a vision and delusion at once and knows the consequences, but he also knows about Childe's sick fixation on being strong. He tries to tell him that he doesn't need to be strong but Childe takes it as an insult of course he needs to be strong how else is he supposed to protect his family and serve his tsaritsa if he's weak? They would compromise. No delusion during their sparring matches. Diluc wins their next fight and the deal for that one is only using his delusion in life or death. He might have some resent towards Childe, but I don't think he wants to ever see anyone die the same way his father did in front of his eyes.

> 2. Childe being in awe of Diluc's fighting Style!

Someone pointed out that Diluc swings his claymore with one hand, while majority of other claymore unite use two hands.

Can you imagine Childe's reaction? Thinking he got the upper hand by using an arrow to get his sleeve stuck against a tree or any flat surface behind him, as he's about to go in for the final blow. While Diluc just uses his other hand to knock his ass out because he was wide open. Childe is dazed, sitting on his ass watching as Diluc flips the entire claymore in the air with one hand, pulling out the arrow with the same hand, and catching the claymore before it hits the ground. He's smitten. Especially since Childe mastered almost every weapon type, seeing someone perform uncommon arts with their weapon will amaze him.

> 3. Honestly, I feel like Childe would constantly try and convince Diluc to join the Fatui.

Since Diluc always like to bash the knights, at almost every given moment, he'd eventually stop all together after meeting Childe. Only because each time he bashes them while Childe is around he instantly uses it as a talking point to join the Fatui instead. He knows he'll never change his mind, but he thinks it's fun.

Leading to a situation where Kaeya being the one who's most weirded out by the turn of events. Because Diluc hasn't complained about the knights of favonius yet, eventually he givens in and says...

"Master Diluc, if you plan on saving your most venomous remarks for when I'm down in the dumps, you might as well use them now. It's creeping me out you haven't said anything about the knights being trash yet! Just do it, I know you're thinking it."

Diluc snapping back suddenly with

"YOU'RE BETTER THAN THE FATUI AT LEAST."

Kaeya is just like uh????? Thanks for the compliment I think?

> 4. Diluc understands morality isn't black and white.

In some of Diluc's lines in his story quest, he talks about how heroes and villains are two sides of the same coin and how he knows his enemies well. Diluc himself has killed an uncountable amount of Fatui but I think he also understands that it was the wrong thing to do, personal vendetta or not.

So in meeting Childe, sure he'd have reservations about talking to a harbinger but Childe's personality and sincerity would make him hesitate at least. Childe is naive and sincere, even if his intentions are villainous he's he's mostly upfront about who he is and where he comes from. At the very least, Diluc would see that and second guess his indiscriminate hatred for the Fatui and start to become curious about how the Fatui actually work. Through Childe, Diluc can learn about people joining the Fatui because they have no choice but to serve the Tsaritsa, being forced to join by their family (like Childe), or joining as a last resort because it's the fastest and easier way to make money when someone is at the end of their rope. Childe would force Diluc to see the Fatui as people instead of an evil, faceless organization as well as force Diluc into realizing the gravity of his past actions.

Now that Sk8 the Infinity is over. . .

Can y'all imagine if Adam wasn't actually written like that.....

Am I the only one who thinks the Sk8 the Infinity Anime kinda wasted the potential of Adam's character as well as Tadashi's character? I mean looking at the limited content they presented us with. . . Gave me a bunch of ideas / HCs of what they could have done. . . Instead of doing THAT. . .

Ever notice how we see Adam's dad and his aunts but we never see his mother?

What if Adam was half Japanese and half Spaniard? This could have been an actual explanation for his Spain theme in his skateboarding style! That would be pretty cool too! And maybe the reason why his mother is absent was because she couldn't stand the environment with the Ainosuke family being so unwilling to help her adjust to her new life in Japan, so she just left and abandoned her son. . .

With that I feel like it would have also been kinda interesting if Adam had internalized hatred for his own culture that pushed his mother away? Like it would make sense to why he has an Obsession with European Concepts if it means he could further divide himself away that he's related to his father's family. . .🤔 + To why Adam does not respect / care about cherry, considering how Cherry really embraces his own culture more than the rest of the cast.

While Tadashi could have been the one thing that reminded Adam that he doesn't have to hate everything that reminds him of his father. That is until his father finds out about the skateboarding but instead of the whole . . .

Ainosuke: "What's your opinion on this?"

Tadashi: "I have no opinion"

Adam: Angry for a million years.

What if his father finds out while Adam is away on some errands and Tadashi is there at home with his father and takes the blame for Adam to protect him from his family. Knowing full well that his family can turn abusive in a flash, he insists that he forced Adam to try skateboarding to live a little and that he didn't even want to try in the first place. So, his father just fires Tadashi and his family. When Adam comes back home and asks his father where Tadashi is he tells him he quit and he never cared about Adam in first place. That he should only ever rely on his family, because those are the only people who will stay by him till the bitter end. Which personally to me would create a better reason why Adam would be very bitter towards Tadashi, as well as add an interesting shock value, when he does come back to enter the competition.

Of course this goes without saying but. . . Yeah the whole Adam being creepy towards Langa?

R e m o v e d .

Instead have him just be interested / excited that his skating style is unique and causes you to take more risks as he does. Hell, you could have it where instead of Adam trying to find his Eve he's trying to find the next thrill, because the only way he can feel anything anymore if he's putting his life at risk and getting extremely hurt. As his aunt's tell him pain = love, he's not loving skateboarding unless it's hurting him.

So, he puts on these weekly competitions and tournaments in these dangerous conditions and zero regulations, to challenge the final victor to get a thrill out of it. Winner gets to be the new king of 'S' and gets to decide how 'S' operates from there on. A main motivation for Joe and Cherry, since they don't agree with what Adam is doing, Plus, they also just want to flex they're better at him by playing his little game to stop this madness.

But most importantly. . . IMAGINE THE ANGST. . .

How would Adam feel after seeing Tadashi again after all those years since he left? I can just see him yelling at Tadashi saying "How dare you show your face here, after you abandoned me!" And Tadashi not understanding the misunderstanding here and getting upset as well "I didn't have a choice! You thought I would leave willingly? Not a single day went by where you weren't in my thoughts! If I didn't care about you, I wouldn't be here at all!"

If you think about it Tadashi and Adam could've been a Foil to Reki and Langa. Reki and Langa show a healthy relationship where they both enjoy skateboarding together, in contrast to Tadashi and Adam who's relationship fell apart and they both lost their love for skateboarding over the years. But, by the end of the anime it would be nice if they made up! Adam learns he doesn't need to put his life in danger to enjoy skateboarding and he can forgive and trust Tadashi again.

Although, if Adam isn't going to go to jail at the very least he could transform 'S' into a legal skatepark for the public to boost his political image and his small attempt to make up for his shitty actions. AT THE VERY LEAST.

But, that's just my fun two cents on the whole concepts that could've been implemented or explored more!
