More Childe analysis for the gods of Childe analysis.

While I definitely headcanon the boy as a person with a PTSD, I think a lot of his traits that people in fandom interpret as signs of troubled personality are just an archaic system of values.

Honour and glory being more important than compassion, an open fight being more honourable than scheming, etc.

He was trained by a 500+yo fae being, it's only natural.

#childe #tartaglia #I like that while his story has a lot of space for fun psychological analysis it's not about trauma in its core #it's about the border between human and magical world #and humanity as a concept #also dreams and reality and growing up #and I'm starting to think he's a commentary on the concept of narrative itself #it's fun to interpret him as traumatised because it's fun to ponder how an abyssal horror would deal with human trauma #but trauma is not central to his story
