Can I go back and open 1♥? Having passed the first time, I don't really think you can expect to catch up. 2♦ is probably the least evil now.

Opening 1♥ is beyond LOL.

Agree with 2♦ though.

I'm ok with 2♦ or a more optimistic 2♥.

wtf have you been drinking? :D
Is the word "pass" not in your vocabulary?
So many experts, not enough X cards.

So many garbage points make game in hearts unlikely unless p has at least 4 of them so we start with a simple bid of
2d
making it easy for p to bid the necessary 2h/3h for us to bid game. At least by bidding 2d we (by overbidding a tad) show our power and bid our longest and strongest suit (usually not a bad thing).

Rubens Transfer Advances has advantages here:

( p ) - p - ( 1C ) - 1S
( p ) - 2C! = transfer to 2D

But Partner has options:
2D = simple accept and you can pass.
2H = the 4th suit, natural and extra values
( wouldn't this be sweet ! ).
2S = wants to play in spades and you can pass.
2NT = natural, extra values and usually 2 card support for your suit;
with your weak hand but a 6 card suit, you can repeat your suit ( 3D ) to play.
3C! = cuebid as a super-accept for Diam, good hand.
3D = preemptive jump.
