⚠️ Mentions of Death ⚠️

Taglist: @luvielle @citirusu

Diluc is a callous man, that was probably a wayward adjective most can silently agree on when it comes to describing the Ragnvindr Master. But when he found a special someone to settle with a decade ago everyone collectively agreed that something changed within him. It wasn’t an obvious effect of domestic life nor was it a fatigue specially gotten when tending to your family rather, a relieved glint within his gaze whenever his attention was unoccupied by his usual work.

Then came the day that another close beloved left him behind, the grief reopened past wounds that no one dared remind besides his ever elusive “brother”. The fire his vision ignited became dangerously desperate, it wasn’t the mighty flame that stretched its blazing wings across the air but an avian who departed from its flock too early, desperately flying away to try and find its kindred within the cruel night’s wind.

The line of nostalgia came to a halt when he snapped his gaze away from the candle light, sighing as he averted his scarlet gaze back to where you sat, a bright youngster who couldn’t keep their nose out of a book and Diluc didn’t mind this one bit. The Ragnvindr blood had always been a dominant gene, and you proudly showed off the bright red locks you inherited from your dear father, but your smile and the way your eyes glinted with excitement was unmistakably gotten from your passed parent. Something Diluc had always said he moved on from, but white lies can’t go against burning red, right?

And if he endured that grief to this day then what more would you have to bear should he also fall into the clutches of an untimely death. Such a pessimistic line of thinking made him question how late it was but realistically speaking who do you have left besides him? Sure you were well loved by the people of Mondstat and you have your fair share of friends your age, and he knew deep within his heart that your Auntie Jean wouldn’t neglect you with his wishes but then again she was in the same risk of deathly peril as he was. Barbara? A respectable role model for his child one he wouldn’t mind you looking up to as both an Idol and a familial figure.

“Papa? Do you wanna read?”

Diluc snapped out of his trance, your youthful voice brought him back to reality after staring off into space for a minute too long. You seemed to have taken it as him eyeing your fairy tail book and after working for so long today maybe he wanted to consume something more fictitious rather than the mundane paperwork? That’s what you thought at least.

The older redhead only replied with a dry chuckle, standing up ever so slowly before approaching your much smaller figure and hoisting you and your book up in order for him to slip into your seat— garnering your figure to make rest on his lap. His words of assurance towards your question managed to tug a smile on your expression.

The book you held was a special gift from Lisa for your last birthday, a beige leather book that had a compilation of children’s fairy tales. The current story you were reading was that of a Fairy kingdom where the royal heir goes on adventures with the aid of a holy songstress, an other worldly pirate, a northern toy maker and a benevolent kitsune. Meeting all these people reminded Diluc that perhaps you had a brighter future compared to what his intrusive thoughts entailed. You were currently at the part where the royal heir had finally returned to their kingdom not knowing that their father the King had grown ill.

Diluc grimaced at the scene especially when your innocent mind pointed out how much it sucked that the Heir wasn’t able to spend much time left with their papa. In an attempt to stop you from going down a dimmer line of thinking like he did, he took the reins and began reading for you. You’ve always been unconventionally bright, perhaps you just got it from both parents, something he’s simultaneously cursing and thankful for. And so on he read with the gentlest tone he could muster lest he fail his attempt.

“Even when the fairy king became one with the flowers… He’d always watch over his child, from young royal to a proud monarch. Plucking a flower from the ground is rather… iffy but, know that the absence gives new space for something only the royal child can make. One day you’ll make something of your own and when you do, many people will be there to cheer you on” “Really?” “Of course sweetheart.”

Soon enough you finally retired to your quarters, book clutched within your arms as Diluc pulled your thermal blanket over your figure. He softly shut the mahogany door before turning on his heel to trudge back to his office, passing by the foyer’s open window where he had a perfectly good view of the star littered sky above. Deep down he wished it was him instead of his beloved, he shook those thoughts away allowing his gaze to linger a little longer whilst his thoughts slowly drowned back into the plane of what ifs.

His comrades, his family, his allies, he truly hoped that one day you’ll have your own chosen kindred just like him, ones who wouldn’t allow your hopes and dreams to fall and shatter on the ground into unfixable pieces. That was wishful thinking— even with his current efforts, the world as is was crueler. He ought to send a more realistic wish, one where he hoped that one day you would have people to help you pick up your pieces. A young flame as bright as yourself can pull it off… This was a fact he can count on even beyond the grave. 

“Dawn always comes… and until then, sleep well, dear.”

hallo hallo!! hope ur having a good day~~ saw that ur reqs were open and was wondering how would the demon bros react to a filipino MC who befriended local anitos in their area (u can decide which!!) and then they followed them down into the devildom??

• Beyond Our Realms •

This took me longer than expected TwT, I do hope you don’t mind the slightly shorter content? I’ll be focusing more on their reaction and I’d like to clarify that I’m not a native to any ethnic groups who do practice the belief in anitos so if I miswrite something below or if any of it brings offense to the concerned don’t hesitate to bring it up with me! This was simply entertaining a “what if” thought so without further ado.

When you’re followed by an Anito Spirit:

The firstborn wasn’t exactly sure how to take in the newfound information, up until now he simply wrote you off as an ordinary student thrown into an unordinary environment, perhaps he did have prior speculations towards your oddly accepting reaction towards your surroundings but he didn’t expect it to be because of this.

This being, you Intune with supernatural beings not prominent to his knowledge. He knew that there was a vast population of spirits residing in the human realm despite their not so living state, but to think you had been leisurely communicating with such heathen-like spirits.

He’s weary at first, and rightfully so whenever he catches you going on a tangent to these “uninvited guests” but the first born had been reassured by Diavolo that he approved their stay given they don’t interfere directly with the program.

“Do tell me whether I should be cautious…scared? no , far from it. After all they’re residing under my roof are they not?”

There was a faint ominous feeling, the idea that some of the Anitos are manifestations of humans who witnessed the Celestial War. They may not be on either side of the fray but one more mind aware was one more mind to keep an eye on. 

Luci stays neutral, he was responsible for your wellbeing here under Diavolo’s order and if these beings were part of that scope then so be it, it doesn’t make him any less relaxed every time these spirits choose to make their presence known through ruined objects likely older than yourself.

Mammon, petrified on first meeting/LHJ that aside he does feel distrustful of your room when he first met one of them accidentally, that or it was because one of the Anitos caught him trying to rummage through your room for something to pawn.

It was also the time that it dawned on him how he wasn’t actually your first pact mate, sure pacts weren’t necessarily a practice between you and the Anitos but the concept was there- he dare say it was a closer relationship compared to your pact with him.

I’d like to think they scold him every time he tries to act tsun towards you, like the aunts and uncles who tease you with any person your age. Mammon’s opinion of these beings transitioned from intimidating to indirectly affectionate.

“Oi don’t get the wrong idea- y’know your stuff is collecting dust, are ya trying to give us allergies?”

It was amusing seeing him clean and dust the objects the Anitos manifest in, he says it was because he doesn’t wanna get an earful from your companions or how careless you were with keeping your treasure- yet you still caught his eye glinting with respect.

Mammon learned to coincide with them, most especially when it concerns you of all people. There was a faint assurance that should a day come he couldn’t make it to your side in time, these spirits were there to hold the fort.

Levi was envious for lack of a better term. To him it was like meeting an Isekai anime MC along with their supernatural companion, it was unfair in his terms- you were so cool without even trying an effortless perfection he can say.

That partial envy was what started the initial bad blood between him and the spirits that had possessed a runic carving you purposely placed in your room as a medium of communication. They had to keep reminding him they’re not wish granting deities who bestow power ups and it did annoy them how much he’s confusing them for other famous beings.

And then, one day Levi just so happened to come across a game called Anito Legends, it didn’t take long for him to start binging the game to simultaneously learn about your supernatural comrades but to also express his genuine want to actually learn about them without offense.

“S-so they just favored you one day? Or was it a choosing ceremony type of connection? oh!- Are you bound by equal exchange? What about-”

He realized along the way how disrespectful it was to compare beings as it was also something he loathed happening when done to him. Levi’s take on the Anito spirits became one of subtle admiration, it even led him to wonder whether him and his brothers’ sustenance can remain beyond their “death” for the sake of watching over their kindred.

The thought was, as usual, straight out of some shonen plot but it was one that didn’t seem offensive to the spirits that trailed you down to hell. Perhaps if he plays his cards right they’ll give their insight on the matter.

Likely the one who knows the most about them compared to the rest, the demon of Wrath does spends his days within the depths of literature and perhaps at one point he did indulge in a passage concerning these South Eastern spirits of old.

And with his vantage of prior knowledge, he was the one who left the best impression on your allies from the other side, he knows not to take them for folly. He even goes as far as to offer old relics as possible mediums for them to reside in.

This was, of course, unknown to Lucifer; he has no use for these artifacts and if giving them up in exchange for being in good graces with this small population of spirits well- he's got nothing to lose.

"I wonder... have you ever made friends with more powerful Anitos? Just curious is all..."

Prior to knowing of your true potential he's always considered the possibility that if you're able to string the seven rulers of hell into pacts with you then- who's to say you weren't favored by other great beings in the realm of the supernatural?

He'll leave that hypothesis to himself, for now he'll make sure to remain in good light to the Anitos that have foreshadowed your power at play. It only added to your charm, at least; that's what he thinks.

Like Mammon, he also likely found out through accidental means, Asmo was making himself comfortable in your bed awaiting your arrival from school when he was met with the interrogative greeting of your befriended spirits.

He didn't offend them right away- mistaking them for a restless ghost who chose your room to haunt since it was the least demonic power infested in the House Of Lamentation. The disproval over the Avatar of Lust came when he threw the idea of giving them a good time in his terms.

He does come running out your room at the perfect time when you're about to enter, complaining over what they did to mess his appearance.

"Oh for the love of all things unholy- look what they did! Darling do you see this?! Who's side are you even on-"

It took a firm lecture to get him to apologize and even then the Anito barely forgave him under the condition that he doesn't trespass your personal abode again lest Asmo wants something worse to befall his appearance.

He wasn't aware of how mischievous they can actually be- mistaking it as a genuine threat instead but time does help him move one from such childish perception over your companions.

I'll bet you 100 grim that he accidentally thought one of the anito statues you brought with you was a chocolate carving- I'm so sorry. Like the ominous supernatural presence didn't even bother him considering how eccentric some of the devildom gourmet is.

At least he didn't consume the whole thing...? teeth markings are still present, but he did offer to help you seek out another possible medium throughout the House Of Lamentation, and he did apologize to the spirit after being explained to that he was the one who invaded their privacy and not the other way around-

Beel does eventually become their second favorite after Satan! He was a respectful boy to their favored one, and this meant him receiving random pieces of food during the day that came from nowhere.

"They're really good, both the food and the Ani..tos? I like them."

A curt answer when you asked him one day but an answer nonetheless. He gets along with them like he says, and they do manage to hold a bonding time even without you there!

Overall, Beel learned to make acquaintances with the neutral race of spirits. Likewise, the Anitos that followed you regret your transfer of realm less and less after knowing that people like Beel are there to keep you company. But they aren't leaving you anytime soon either-

Unsurprisingly, the most peaceful first meeting and the least chaotic. Keyword here is first meeting because his later interactions with the Anito spirits become more questionable-

They did hear of his misdeeds towards you, and yes, they did harbor malice at one point but against all odds he somehow managed to keep a peaceful introduction after all was said in done, he thought nothing much of them- neutral for a lack of a better term.

Under that peaceful first impression was a cold war, I doubt he takes their grudge lightly either and simply sleeps on the reluctant acceptance- where they do confront him well- in his dreams apparently.

"Tell me.. More about them, just what if..she's one of them"

Forgive, but don't forget, when he found out from Satan's discarded notes about their ancestral connection to a person- the possibility that Lilith can be one of them remained in his subconscious.

But he doesn't press on the matter further beyond that one question, knowing that he now has you and not the lost past he held so dearly. His relationship with the Anitos remain rocky, but there are some times where sympathy is shared amidst their indifference.

I just came to give you these

💐

You deserve something nice.

Because you’re nice.

It feels nice seeing a familiar face in my inbox from time to time >_<. Thank you for the blooms Rose-San it's much appreciated :D

Genshin Thought :: Archon War and Constellations

A rather old ramble I've had regarding vision holders and their respective constellations, heavily inspired by the "Guizhong reincarnated as Ninguang" theory

It's been knocking at my mind for a while now but basically. What if every vision wielder today in teyvat were reincarnated gods that lost in the archon war? This initially stemmed from the "Ninguang is Guizgong's Reincarnation" Theory since her constellation (the guizhong balista) and her Ascension material had ties to the goddess.

Then a thought hit that what if, every vision holders' constellation was in fact their former rule as a deity in the time of the gods- what if Amber was indeed a rabbit type of deity back then or itto was a bull sort of god- what if Beidou was a dragon or something etcetc— this also coincides with the current playable archons having themselves as constellations.

This also ignites the principle of "ambition" to vision holders- how come a literal child got granted a vision when someone like teppei didn't? It's not supposed to negate or dismiss them but what if there was a specific reason in general. What if the ambition Celestia recognizes is the ambition of the dead now reincarnated deities who have came back into touch with the power visions hold.

Now bare with me here- Mona, she's a hydro user and an astrologist. She's a columnist in the Steam bird- something from Fontaine that is ruled by the archon of justice herself. Now bare with me again- Mona can see and read constellations, now look at the quote about the hydro archon-

"The God of Justice lives for the spectacle of the courtroom, seeking to judge all other gods—"

What an element does reflecting their archon... So Mona probably possibly hypothetically- seeing these former gods and deities through the ideals of hydro (?). Then again this is about the new archon of justice Idk about the first so its not that much help me thinks.

This whole thing isn't a full theory per se just a fun concept to play with. It's late my brain is going haywire TwT. Feel free to discuss with me!
