#⠀my favorite harbinger⠀𑁋⠀21.11⠀

[salsflore]

OK anniv officially over since it’s past midnight :3 i made this artwork to celebrate being partially freed from the curse that is childe brainrot !! also bc it was literally me today. anyways thanks to all my sillies for the nice messages sent .. wowow

[salsflore]

🎫 here's a gush pass ^^ feel free to gush about whichever f/o you want, however much you want, then send this ask to 3 other self shippers!

everyone look away its MY TURN to be deranged about this fictional character ++ this ask was soo long ago oops....

i don’t even know what to say about childe but just know that i love him with my whole heart. i really really do. he’s so incredibly dear to me i just !!!! he’s AWFUL. why did they make him so lame. i wanna kiss him ‘cuz i just love him so so much.

it’s been so long and i am STILL utterly in love with him. this silly bitch is my beloved, real! he consumes my silly little thoughts everyday and infests my silly little brain with so much love for him — i don’t know what i’d do without him :( my sweetheart my BITCH the loveliest in the entire world...

none of u get him like i do /lh i am deranged as fuck rn does it show.

[salsflore]

i haven’t been normal in seven years.

[salsflore]

roll once for zhongli and TWICE for childe because i like to be evil and watch you (lovingly) hate him 🤍

twine... u truly get me. u get me. picking you up and shaking u. it ( after multiple rerolls ) landed on 19 for zhongli and 16, 11 for childe.

019 — what’s your f/o’s favourite form of intimacy? 

zhongli’s favorite form of intimacy is also emotional entimacy because i am his blorbo he is mine ( sorry for posting cringe on tumblr. com ) those silly things matter a lot to him and the same goes 4 me !!!

016 — what are your favourite cute petnames to call your f/o? 

............................ would i ever call childe something cute. maybe as a joke. like in a modern au what if i texted him “the light of my life, my darling harbinger, my dearest baby boy.. make me a sandwich” he’s usually ajax to me. if anything he’s the one that uses the petnames lol he makes me sick ^_^ ♡♡

011 — what is your f/o’s handwriting like? 

childe’s handwriting is a little messy, but still readable. messy in a way that it looks pretty. does that make sense. it also kind of depends?? like if he’s writing a letter or a report he’ll put in the effort to make it neat but if it’s like a grocery store letter or dialogue for a doodled cat he won’t care. ya. i hate him tbh BECAUSE.. why does he even know how to write??? to cheat on me with penpals?!?!?! that’s so unfair and so mean he is the bane of my exi

[salsflore]

bad boy tured good for the ask game :0

melly.. squeezes u like a plushie. you simply give those vibes. i think i’ll do both ☆ ～('▽^人)

bad boy turned good — how has your F/O changed for the good being with you?

zhongli : um.. he’s a Bit more open i suppose. when it comes to revealing his feelings and such. zhongli’s pretty reserved when it comes to telling anyone about his struggles but then i came n was like “hey babygirl how can i help you?” he was like “kiss me” we all lived happily ever after lolz

childe : slightly less.... deranged. SLIGHTLY BC IF YOU BLINK YOU’LL MISS IT. or has he become more deranged. huh. like he’s a “noo i can’t hunt someone down rn i got dinner at 6. can we reschedule :(” person now. an argument was somewhat necessary for this change to happen tbh ( but also bc i love those hurt comfort scenarios ^_^ )

[salsflore]

🥰🍳🖌 for the f/o ask game!! :)

HI VAL-VAL !! thanks for the ask :3 squeezing you like playdoh tbh. childe time again ☆

what pet names do their partner(s) use for them? how flustered do they get by them?

AGAIN.... you would be stupid to think i’d call my boyfies anything affectionate !!! well. except when i’m comforting him ( me ? saying b*by ? once in a blue moon ) but 70% of the time i just use his real name anyways so i don’t think it really counts? it affects him all the same anyways, he has to pause and be like Haha What? one day i am gonna learn the silliest snezhnayan pet names and then i’m gonna use them to spite him. yeah.

how well can they cook?

HE COOKS VERY WELL !!! he’s perfect at everything bc i said so. malewife childe in an apron WHEN. PLEASE. can you imagine him cooking breakfast for his siblings and humming in the morning. i’d fucking evaporate none of you talk to me

do they have any hobbies?

i don’t think he really has that much time to indulge in any, but i know he likes to fish and iirc canonically enjoys dancing. isn’t he silly. he’s so awful really i’d become a fish for him

[salsflore]

🤡🐒🎨 :D

HAII TERRENCE :3 thank you !! i’ll answer these for childe bc brainrot aghhh...

what’s something dumb they’re embarrassed about?

that one time he had to give the toymaker speech to his subordinates LMFAO umm for those who haven’t played his story quest or genshin in general: he keeps his silly evil job a secret from his family, especially from his younger siblings, and they know him as a toymaker. he was in the middle of giving some speech to new recruits when his younger brother showed up n’ he had to switch the whole “your loyalty lies with the tsaritsa” speech into a “we’re gonna be the best toymakers in the world” smth smth like that

what’s their favorite animal?

he seems like the type to like dogs.. he is kind of like one. more a fox than anything but it counts

what’s their favorite color

if you ask him he might say some deranged shit like “red because it reminds me of blood” like ummm weirdo? hc he likes blue though ( fitting. hydro user c’mon )

[salsflore]

To my Mika,

My nights somehow feel so much colder when you’re not by my side. Oh, how it’d make my day if a ‘certain someone’ could perhaps come over and help warm me up? After all, they say a true love’s kiss is all you need when facing the harsh winters of Snezhnaya.

I’m kidding! You know that’s not possible, as much as I would have liked it to be...

Moving on, how have you been? I’m not there to watch over you, so it’s best you’re extra careful in regards to your safety and well being. I worry about you everyday we’re apart, my love. Don’t be stubborn and look after your own health. I remind my siblings of this everyday, don’t make me have to do the same for you, too!

Speaking of my siblings! I’ve told them all about ... well, us, and it seems like they’re pretty excited to get to know you. Especially Teucer. I mean, it seems all he ever talks about nowadays is meeting you. Though I admit that I myself am looking forward to introducing you to them, so long as I remain your favorite!

Now I’ve got to go, I have lots of things to get done today. Take care, love you!

PS. I’m expecting a big hug once I get home. I deserve a reward for being so hardworking.

Yours truly,

Ajax

STOP IT. I MISS HIM SO ABD AGG H H HFUCJ YOUUU my beloathed. my beloathed i love you so so sms9so m uch hina fuck you fuck yyouoyotymu aghhhh h gergrgrhrhr......m i’m gonna reread this shit every single day every single minute

[salsflore]

hiii roll it twice for childe! btw just wanted to say you are great, hope youre having a great day and wish you luck on Kazuha's banner (ﾉ^∇^)ﾉ -- very shy 🦇 anon

I LOVE YOU ANON /P thank you, i need all the luck i can get ㅠ_ㅠ kazuha-having mika? soon. anyways it landed on 9 & 7 :3

09 — what’s your f/o’s favourite snack or meal?

seeing as his signature dish is “a prize catch”  then maybe that. i’d like to think he’d be a silly spicy food enjoyer bc he’s ... a weirdo and i do not like him.

07 — what’s one thing your f/o does that never fails to make you all flustered?

exist. he is the bane of my existence..... for a semi - serious answer, he’s usually pretty playful and teasing. i can be like ok ya whatever loser but when he’s like “no, i’m being serious, you’re (insert)” like could you kiss me on the lips, comrade?!?#?@?

[salsflore]

hydrangea (me favourite flower), anemone and tulip for the flower themed ask :)

omg kazuscara’s simp hi

Hydrangea - list your full playlist for your f/o.

i don’t have a playlist for either of them but a while ago i did make a list of songs that reminded me of them. i am much too lazy to list them again help

Anemone - in ten words or less, describe the dynamic between you and your f/o.

zhongli and i: two cats holding hands LOLL childe and i: “i hate you” *kisses you* jk i don’t actually know. stop

Tulip - go to your f/o's wiki page and quote your favorite part of it.

if i could add the entire media section i would but for childe it would be uhh “Dearest Sister, are you all keeping well at home? Has the old man's headache gotten any better?

Please send my regards to our parents and our siblings.

I've sent some wind chill medication over from Liyue Harbor. It's very effective, and will probably keep him from nagging for a while. It should reach you after a few days.

Apart from our father's affairs, I naturally haven't forgotten about gifts for you all.

This letter should come with two kites from Liyue, a rattle drum, two porcelain dolls from Inazuma, and a crate full of various snacks.

And please break it to Anthon that the residents of Liyue are just boring old ordinary humans, like us.

They're not made of stone, and they don't even eat stones.

Do not fret for my sake, Tonia, and refrain from making trouble for anyone at home. I will be home soon. When I have seized the seven stars of Liyue and laid them at the feet of Her Majesty the Tsaritsa, I will take the first ship home, just as I promised — and you know how I always keep my promises.

Yours faithfully, Your loyal knight.” he’s so fucking cute towards his family it makes me SICK bro like why are you like this what if we kissed. for zhongli it’d be literally any his character stories i can’t pick i love him

[salsflore]

Amnesia: what's somethings that you remember about your F/O that others forget?

For anyone?

NEKU :3 hello !! i’ll do this for childe ^_^

amnesia — what’s something that you remember about your F/O that others forget?

childe actually ( currently ) dislikes zhongli. don’t think he HATEs the guy but he’s like “hmph >:(” about him bc of his ‘betrayal’ ( this is one sided btw zhongli’s like “yeah i’ll join him for drinks later we’re besties” )

[salsflore]

Time travel for any F/O?

ITS THE JOSEPH ENJOYER !! OMG !! i’ll do both 4 funsies

time travel — if you could go back to any moment with your F/O to relive which would it be?

zhongli : it’d be the signing of our contract but ... hm. it was really. really awkward because he was So Serious like damn babygirl?? why so many terms for me to read through?? do you have nothing else to do?? still. i love you

childe : first non-official kiss. i think i mentioned it already but it was like a joke kiss on the hand ( bc .. of my name which is redacted cough cough ) and even thinking abt it makes me want to die

[salsflore]

Hanahaik for the ask game?

luci !! i always thought you had a pretty username hii

hanahaki — how long did it take you to confess to your F/O?

zhongli : since zhongli courted me ( yeah.. loser behavior! ) and made his Intentions™️ clear,, there was less space for doubt ( but i will always find a way ! ) so it didn’t take that long ?? i don’t remember the exact amt of time though obvi

childe : ya it took somewhat longer time than zhongli’s. ‘cause it was like “this whore is lying to me” -> “NOO he’s being genuine to me ^_^” -> “no he isn’t” ya IT HAPPENED EVENTUALLY THOUGH I SWEAR

[salsflore]

opposites attract omegaverse (😭) and one bed, both f/os?

HIINA !! BINA !!! also yea i had the same reaction to the omegaverse thing.. ps since someone already asked for a few of these i’ll just answer for childe :3

opposites attract — how is your F/O different than you?

he is literally. so much cooler than me www more outgoing more extroverted n stuff .. he’s like the “excuse me she asked for no pickles” one out of the both of us ( tbh zhongli is too ) plus i’m not DERANGED??? LIKE HE IS???

omegaverse — if your F/O was an animal what would they be, and why?

fox. fox boy. he’s so cute... orange hair n silly personality. so fox boy core

one bed — do you share a bed with your F/O?

yes,, however he’s a harbinger ( blegh assignments overseas and all that ) so it’s not like i can cling to him everyday ..

[salsflore]

💄🎀🍬 for any f/o! :3 -- violetsareblue-selfships

WOWOW hi !! ur kinda my aether moot hhehfjef

💄 — what’s your favorite thing to do with your f/o?

zhongli : i’ll answer this properly but anyways i like holding his hand. super silly i know but i just !! it’s nice even when it’s gloved :3 he’s fine doing it in public so that’s a bonus ^__^

childe : hug. hug. hug hug hug hug he’s REALLY just huggable u guys don’t get it

🎀 — what is/would living with your f/o be like?

zhongli & childe : they’re both such busy men it’s like i’m their silly trophy wife waiting for them at the door idk. anyways everything’s neat & organized bc they’re just that kind of people. i’d like to imagine zhongli’s house ( before i moved in !! ) would be hella plain like he bought it and moved in with one suitcase of clothes that’s it. no fun decorations or anything ??

think i’ve said it before but childe tends to eat out more,, guess the frequency of that will lessen a lil once i’m there ^_^ i can cook silly meals for him and cling to him during his break time

🍬 — what’s your favorite quote or moment with your f/o? (can be in canon or in your own lore!)

zhongli : the preparation and signing of our contract lol um. i have a horrible signature though

childe : ................ when he went on abt how he’d be devoted to me. it made me wanna kick my legs in the air n giggle n blush and scream and
