#i dont think i’ve talked my nonverbal!Diluc hc on here yet
#but i keep seeing posts abt disability/chronjcally ill/neurodivergent hcs for genshin characters so here’s one from me
#idk i feel like after That Night™️ and being on the run from the Fatui/working with a secret organization
#diluc not just learns the ‘value’ of keeping secrets and staying quiet but also internalizes his guilt and trauma of saying smth that could
#hurt people
#it started with him telling Kaeya that he’s not a Ragnvindr anymore and then is exacerbated by his 3-4 Year Fatui Murder Rampage thru Teyvat
#and with all ghat trauma and self-deprecation and paranoia he just. stops talking.
#he picks up sign language in Fontaine and still writes but at some point he just stops talking and never speaks again
#when he comes back to Mondstadt it was hard to adjust to for both him and the people around him
#Kaeya initially assumes that Diluc just refuses to talk to him until he later hears gossip abt how no one has ever heard him speak since he
#came back. he goes to Adelinde and/or Elzer abt it and they tell him that they neve even hear Diluc so much as hum or grunt
#afterwards everyone changes up real fast— Kaeya and Venti drinking at the bar and seemingly just talking at Diluc but they’re always
#observing his reactions and body language even when they’re drunk
#Jean tries her best to be patient but she has a hard time reading him bc he’s changed so much in the time he’s been gone
#Adelinde & Elzer and the winery staff are the most communicative he’s with— Diluc is far more likely to write with them to communicate
#at some point Diluc has a business meeting with some rich dude from Fontaine or smth
#Kaeya walks in bc he has an actual important mission thinf to discuss and he sees Diluc and this Fontaine dude and the dude’s wife
#moving their hands so fast and with all kinds of gestured and stuff
#and it’s the first time Kaeya sees Diluc look so EXPRESSIVE— he’s frowning and raising his eyebrows and mouthing words and all this
#and Kaeya just goes ‘what’
#turns out the Fontainian dude is deaf and both him and his hearing wife know sign; she helps interpret this to kaeya for the dude and Diluc
#and Kaeya is like ‘oh okay’ and goes to the kitchen like ‘i’ll just wait here till yall are finished’
#and he sees Adelinde and Elzer there with stoic faces and they just. stand there in quiet for so long.
#Kaeya finally says ‘…..so. sign language huh’ and Adelinde and Elzer have the most pained looks on their faces
#later that week Diluc finds like everyone around suddenly doing basic signs with him
#he later learns that the winery has ordered a shitton of signing books from Fontaine and are trying to learn
#+ Kaeya and Jean too with help from Lisa bc like dont you know learning several languages is a requirement for graduation from the Akademiya
#soon the use of sign starts spreading in Mondstadt— there might be some small communities where they have their own native sign but it’s not
#as standardized nor widely known as it is in Fontaine
#this is getting really long so I’ll stop here but yeah. nonverbal Diluc who signs fjskdjs
