HI ANNIE!!! i will gladly come and tell you why childe is my favorite blorbo >:]

but basically. i liked him at first because i caught a glimpse of him and was like "oh ya. he is definitely my type" and then ultimately started genshin because i needed him on my team HAHA he was my first ever five star that i pulled and my second most spoiled goober (the first being xiao xiao).

eventually, i got to his part of the archon quest and i was just absolutely floored with his fight and then his third phase... like wow foul legacy <3 and then his story quest....

i come from a large family and grew up with a lot of kids; like i have a looot of nephews and nieces that i love dearly and would do literally anything for them. so seeing childe's story quest hit me pretty deep knowing that he overexerted himself just to protect teucer haha. he's a family man and the fact that he would quite literally do anything to ensure the safety of the people that he loves just. gets to my heartstrings.

also like he's such?? a goober??? you're telling me this evil guy who nearly terrorized an entire city by making a sea god swallow it whole is the same guy who participates in operas, loved by the people in a way, a family guy, and goes along with kids' silly antics as he hunts down fictional monsters in inazuma???

i just. like him a normal amount LOL and this is just the surface because i don't want to write more than i already have LOL

and he's like. super pretty and i love a man that is good at everything even tho he can't use chopsticks at all and i get to hold that above him but also teaching him how to use chopsticks/feeding him with chopsticks?? wow what a guy i'm going to gnaw on his head.

anyways thank you for reading this if you did annie and i hope your day gets better!! i'm sending all four of my childe plushies to come smooch you <:

I read this all and I am too brain tired to properly verbalise how much childe affection I have rn but didi: as always, YOU ARE CORRECT. AND YOU SHOULD REALLY FINISH THIS ESSAY. WHO AM I TO TURN DOWN FREE CHILDE BRAINROT

his family-centric goals are so dear to me for similar reasons!!!!!! I work w kids a lot + I have a lot of nieces and nephews and godchildren AND I JUST LOVE ME A MORALLY GREY CHARACTER WHO VALUES AND PROTECTS THE INNOCENCE OF CHILDHOOD. even if kiddos can be a headache at times it just melts my heart when someone is kind but firm with them aaaaaa <3333 he's just Some Guy who is good with kids and loves fishing and also probably kills people for a living on occasion
