HEADCANON ! ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ █ ▌▌▌her majesty the tsaritsa.                     motherhood, childe.

tartaglia definitely Keeps his family in his heart, etcetera etcetera. khioniya respects him... but not that. this is kept to herself of course - no point slighting the child for loving the parents that should have been worthy of such loyalty, such possessive need to belong.                but she absolutely considers his mother a disgusting failure, an affront to motherhood & the sanctity of a mother’s love, & several other unflattering things. it’s a little bit biased, but were it another child(e) her opinion would remain the same.

PARENTS: have to manage a household & a handful or two of interpersonal relationships, can’t handle their troubled teen child, struggle to comprehend & love them right, pawn them off on a warmongering organisation to Raise Them Right instead.

KHIONIYA: wrangles 9 to 11 overpowered assholes who can each single-handedly make a very decent attempt at globally tearing down society as we know it & are almost all of them willing to murder her in her sleep, manages a country’s worth of diplomatic & personal relationships, fosters a religion & structures society, balances the aforementioned with a war on the heavens & all its gods.

khioniya, bitterly, every time she sees ayaks love what was meant to deserve it but does not: “couldn’t be me.”              she’s his mother now :v but she’ll keep that firm opinion to herself... c: we can pretend to share, sure.

i cannot overstate how much she Does Not Acknowledge them as his family lmfao. minus the babies bc it's not their fault. she's literally the one conscripting abandoned children & yes she hates everyone who allows her to do that --       DESPERATE TIMES... reminded of the inherent evil in human nature every second of every day--

a purge is comin oh lawdy.

ehrem anyway. she's Quite Possessive of him. that's HER murder child now. fuck you. >:v what were u gonna fuckin do lol stop her? weh. no. ...she doesn't WANT childe to tell her to stop so she keeps it to herself lmfao careful not to overstep.
