Today’s rarepair is Diluc x Yelan, or Yeluc!

"Well Yelan is a lesbi-" So is Diluc??🤨

Because you have spoken about childe and ayato dating diluc. Will he have the same reaction?

Also what to you think keayas thought on yelan and shenhe as a whole. ~🥝

So my first thought is just.

Yelan: This is my girlfriend Shenhe and Shenhe's boyfriend Diluc and Diluc's boyfriend Ayato.

Person: What.

Yelan: It's not that hard. Shenhe and I are gay and dating but not gay for Diluc and Ayato. While Diluc and Ayato are gay and dating but not gay for Shenhe. It's not that hard.

Well, either way.

Out of the two of them, the only one Kaeya doesn't mess with is Shenhe. Because I really think she's taller than both of them and absolutely jacked. Seriously Shenhe and Diluc is like the jock/goth dynamic. Which is pretty funny to me. Kaeya already knows he's on thin ice with Shenhe, so he might hate it, but he keeps his nose out.

With Yelan. It's not as open a confrontation as Ayato and Kaeya. Because simply Yelan is better at keeping her affection on the down low. Mostly cause it's funnier to her watching Diluc squirm. Also, she is probably one of the ones who really really recognizes how much Diluc values Kaeya and so she would do everything she could to not be confrontational with him. Though she doesn't really like Kaeya, she's better at putting it aside for Diluc.

great question! while there's a lot of in-game pairings of other characters i really love (usually rare pairings or similar), i feel like with my favorites, diluc and zhongli and the like, i get kind of... territorial? where it's difficult for me to find a ship for them i really enjoy haha

that being said there's a few i like! yelan and diluc i think has a lot of potential, especially considering they're likely apart of the same information network that does undercover work against the fatui and theres a lot of cool spy and assassin aus that can be done with that

navia and diluc also have a great possible dynamic!! they have a lot of similarities in the inheritance of their father's legacy and name and i want to see their personalities interact so bad lol i think it would be fun

i don't dislike jean and diluc together, but their relationship feels to me like a childhood crush turned awkward friends now that they're adults situation? especially since diluc left for snezhnaya right at 18. i could definitely see how people like them together i just don't get that vibe i think and thats ok lol

Okay, okay, listen—

19-year-old Diluc, still sad and dumb and reckless. And 25-year-old kinda lonely Yelan. And only one fatui camp that they both desided to destroy.
