Hello! Speaking of Skirk/Childe as “nuclear waste levels of toxic”, what’s your ideal dynamic for them, be it romantic, platonic, or otherwise?

Platonic, maybe he had a crush on her but it didn't last long.

I have a bunch of friends who studied martial arts extremely seriously (I did a bit of that too, although only as a hobby) and pretty much made it their whole life. And I know that relationship with a teacher/shifu is of a very special type

In most cases at least 50% of the time you profoundly hate them. They demand the impossible, don't take you seriously, criticise you to no end and playfully poke at things you consider pretty much core to your existence. Many see annoying their pupils as a form of training. Many have huge egos and they make it your problem.

(these are the good ones. the bad ones are... bad)

Adding romance to that mix would either ruin that dynamic or turn in into a planet-ending disaster I'm not capable of imagining.

So, yeah, for me 100% platonic. Although I'll happily read a well-written dead dove.

#childe #tartaglia #skirk #I also fail to understand why skirk would be interested in a romantic relationship with someone with zero autonomy #it takes a very special kind of person and she doesn't seem to be that type #although maybe I could explain it with weird fae logic #actually I have so many horrifying ways to explain it with fae logic #either way it becomes messed up #so... uhm... either platonic or dead dove #whoever tries to write it as a wholesome ship lacks artistic taste and even rudimentary understanding of human psychology #such people shouldn't be trusted with a keyboard
