Childe/ Tartagalia Domestic HC's
Domestic Headcanons Masterpost
Masterlist
Childe absolutely wants you to know how to defend yourself and how does he do this
By teaching you himself to fight and use a weapon
Obviously he’s the only he trusts with your safety also he trusts Zhongli and the traveler
Since the Traveler might not like him but will like you, unless your Fatui that is
Childe definitely if you come to Scheznaya with him and makes you stay with his family
Teucer knows everything about you and really enjoys your company
Yes Childe did tell him everything
You are more than likely the only one who can pull Childe away from a fight and stop him
Most people think that no one can stop it he could easily fight too hard
But I think that Childe could hold back and know not go too hard in a fight if he loved you that much
He’s definitely gonna be very good at cooking
He even has an Apron that says kiss the cook or something
Childe loves to watch you use chopsticks if your from Liyue or Inazuma and will ask you to teach him
It probably won’t work though because y’know he’s known to not be able to use chopsticks
But he loves whichever kind of food you help him cook or cook for him
Even if he doesn’t know how to use chopsticks
Childe loves hot coco
Does he also spike maybe just maybe he does
But he is from Snezhnaya which means he loves warm drinks but he also doesn’t completely freeze to death there

Hello! I'm a little nervous about this one but let's see how it goes.
Could I request Kaeya, Childe, and Zhongli with a s/o that's capable of welding two visions (not a delusion btw) without any issues?
(A/n)SECOND ASK IN A DAY LETS FUCKING GOOOOO that’s honestly a cool prompt a character that can wield two visions.
(Zhongli, Childe and Kaeya with a s/o that is a double vision barrier)
Synopsis: Visions were given to people that have caught the archons attention granting them divine power that no mortal can wield so what happens when a double vision bearer exist?
Tumblr media
Zhongli
Zhongli has seen many bizzare things in his life he’s an archon that survived the archon war!
But you were different, for every face he passed with, to every voice or place he’s been, never has he seen such bizarreness as you wielding two visions
It peaked his interest to say the least, the interest turned to friendship and then lovers blossom from those petals of friendship
Zhongli doesn’t treat you any different than anyone else, he simply goes along as time goes on
One day he’ll ask you how you got your two visions and you simply tell him that two just showed up
This made the ex archon look in shock as you went about your business
All in all confused but doesn’t seem to mind it
“Many may cross you on the street and give you looks, but in my eyes you shine among all the rocks, for no one shall compare to your beauty”
Tumblr media
Childe
You were a new recruit to the Fatui, and worked under Childe
At first he saw you as nothing more than an underling letting you go about your business
Until hearing a rumor spread around about a double vision user working among the Fatui and who would’ve thought it was you? Obviously not him
You don’t know if it was a blessing or curse to gain two visions cause one double power, but now you have a literal bloodthirsty harbinger at your hip
Never a dull moment with Childe, even when you two begin to date, him constantly asking you to spar with him to test your power but only to pout when you deny
When you finally ask he lights up like a kid on Christmas, instantly taking you to a open field
You and Teucer bond thanks to Childe, Teucer believes your just like his big brother making more toys with him
Who knows when Childe fell in love for you started but who really cares if he loves you he loves you
“Hey sweetie? Ready for another spar? Awe come on! I’ll promise to easier on you!”
Tumblr media
Kaeya
To say Kaeya was intrigued with you is an understatement
The Calvary Captain had gotten wind of your little situation and wanted to see if it was true lo and behold it was
Like Zhongli he was skeptical of you, how was one to even hold two visions
He would invite you to the Bar trying to press you for info about you and your visions but overtime the talk about your visions faded soon he wanted to get to know you on a personal level
Kaeya felt as if a part of himself had been brought back after he and Diluc fell out for the first time he didn’t feel like to put a fake smile around you
He would watch as you used your Visions in awe and adoration
He’s just so glad your his partner
“Oh? Is that my darling I see? So great to finally see you again I was getting rather bored here without you~”
(A/n) this was such another fun prompt send in more!!
Please don’t steal my work or copy it, reshares and Liking are very appreciated have a great day!

ahem. on my chubby house spouse kink agenda once again. who do you think has the worst house spouse kinks out of the genshin men. (cw; afab reader implied but no gendered terms, breeding kink in childe’s)
my money is on diluc; obviously. raised to be the tycoon of dawn winery, had some vaguely traditional views put into him - and although he’s had maids to take care of him, there’s something different about having his soft sweet s/o to come home and hum while they run their hands through his hair. they don’t even have to do most housework; but it’s cute how they want to serve dinner anyway, if they take up traditional pursuits like sewing and baking. cute how they want to soothe away the stresses of his day by gently sinking onto his stiff cock and burying their head in the crook of his neck, sighing and providing some much needed warmth and comfort.
albedo too, i think. like i said, i think he has a couple of abandonment issues; and a soft, gentle, caretaker personality? one who reminds him to eat (even if he doesn’t exactly need to) and can warm up his perfectly room temperature body and just looks so, so cute sleepily blinking at him from his bed as they pout and say ‘can’t you go to work just a little later?’. and they’re so good with klee! and they’re a homemaker, they’d rather be alone with him, simply sharing the space . . . they’re perfect. one of albedo’s favourite things about having a house spouse type reader is their obedience; they’re only too happy to be a part of his experiments, to do what he says - and it doesn’t hurt that his experiments in their case are often such things as; how many times can he make them come in a set time limit? what angle is it, exactly, that makes them squirt? 
childe, too. he’d like to be able to train them into being a cute house spouse, i think; a little bit of sass and spark at first, before they settle properly into their new role . . . but. he loves his family so much, and he wants a big one of his own, so a house spouse just seems like the perfect answer. if he watches them be sweet and kind and gentle with teucer, offer to bake for him or play games with him and laugh with him. . . oh. perfect house spouse material. childe’s soft chubby house spouse, coincidentally, is being bent over every flat surface in their home and filled with his cum as often as humanly possible, because his desire for a house spouse goes hand in hand with a breeding kink a mile wide.

I just read your story, the one with Xiao and Albedo, its really good! I love it! Is it ok if you do the same thing but with Kaeya, Zhongli, Childe and Diluc version. I can see how excited these guys are since Kaeya first appeared is clapping his hand, the way Childe call Lumine 'Hey Girlie', Zhongli with how handsome he is especially his eyes and with Diluc how mysterious he is when he appeared out of nowhere
Feel free to do it if you're not busy or you can ignore this :3
reader impact || first meeting cont.
series masterlist characters: kaeya, diluc, childe genre: fluff summary: a game has been released entitled genshin impact, consisting of otherworldly abilities relying on the basic elements of nature. the game follows the story of an interdimensional traveling twin in search of their other half. along this journey, they meet different characters that live in this world. including you. notes: i’m glad you liked it! i’m having a lot of fun writing these so expect some more coming out :D i plan on doing more first meeting hcs and then branching off to other scenarios, so if there’s something specific, please request it! also, i’ve already done one for zhongli!
kaeya's playthrough -
he's more of a variety streamer, honestly.
most of his viewers watch him because of his carefree nature (as well as his looks).
obviously, he'd do a bunch of drinking streams whenever he could where he would just talk to his viewers about whatever came to mind.
during those streams, his viewers often try to ask him questions, which are only answered in vague statements.
his gaming streams are pretty rare compared to his chatting streams, but they're there nonetheless.
his viewers jump when they hear he's planning on playing genshin impact.
just neverending messages about a character they are convinced he will love.
he's so tempted to ask but decides not to, wanting to learn who this mystery character is on his own.
honestly, he was expecting you to appear way later in the story.
he's very interested in the looming threat of stormterror.
his character lands on the ground and he leans back to watch the cutscene play.
then he hears footsteps and sees his character look to someone offscreen.
this man practically LUNGES INTO HIS MONITOR WHEN THE CAMERA PANS UP TO YOU.
you walk in clapping at a calculated pace, which is when he leans forward and stares at your character model.
"i can't believe you have the power to stand up against that dragon... that said, are you a new ally... or a new storm?"
"oh, hun, i can be whatever you want me to be."
HE'S ALREADY FLIRTING WITH YOU PLEASE HIS CHAT IS IN HYSTERICS-
he knows his chat is freaking out, so he turns to the camera and sends his signature smirk.
"now i know why you guys wanted me to play this so bad."
"(name), kaeya, you've come at the right time. we must..."
"now now, don't forget to introduce us."
"oh... right. this is (name), our cavalry captain. these two are travelers from afar."
"ooh, they're a person in charge, too?"
HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING TO HIS CHAT BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU DO TO HIM.
he genuinely likes you. like genuinely. he's fallen deep and he doesn't plan on leaving anytime soon.
if your costume has that long v-neck like his does...
hOO BOY HE'S THANKING EVERY DEVELOPER OF THIS GAME.
anyway, he's heard that there are characters you can only obtain throguh wishes, so he's kind of nervous to find out if that's the case with you.
he just really wants you in his party so y'all can be mysterious together.
"let me show you how the knights of favonius conquer our adversaries!"
"oh, yes. please do."
his viewers can and will make compilations of him flirting with you.
ngl, he's looking forward to those.
sometimes, your voice gets all quiet and he melts when he hears that.
he will pay to have voicelines of you flirting with him--
when he enters your trial domain, he will purposely avoid completing it just in case he doesn't get to keep you.
he sees some of his viewers talking about how you're a bad character and that the other characters are so much better.
too bad, they're banned now.
no (name) slander in his chat, thank you very much.
he loves your quips whenever he uses your elemental skill.
he loves you even more if those quips are puns based on your element.
finally, he's nearing the end of your domain. when that happens, he will slowly turn towards the camera and stare.
"if they aren't a permanent member on my team, this'll be the last stream of genshin."
"let's continue our adventure, shall we?"
obtained (name): a thinker in the knights of favonius with a somewhat exotic appearance.
"okay, so we'll continue streaming genshin soon."
he'll put you in the first slot of his party, moving his traveler character to the second.
his streams will always include him flirting with you, even if you don't reply.
diluc's playthrough -
his streams are mainly bartending based, so he likes mixing drinks on stream for his viewers.
he doesn't drink them, though. he gives them out to his friends and family once the stream is over.
it's pretty rare for him to play games but he'll do an occasional gaming stream if his friends and family don't want any drinks.
his chat always makes fun of him because he's a bartender that doesn't like the taste of alcohol.
he's very blunt, so he's not afraid to drop a game immediately if he isn't interested.
in fact, that's almost what he did with genshin.
it's not like the game is bad or anything, diluc just didn't care for it because of all the hype his chat shared.
he keeps playing, though, because someone promised he would really enjoy a character that comes up in the prologue.
granted, it's over an hour or so but it doesn't matter--
when he gets to the domain teaching him how to use cryo, he hates every minute of it.
he hates the character he's given and just wants to leave.
the demo character is one he doesn't really care for, especially because he's the type of person he dislikes coming to the bars he works at.
his chat is laughing at him when they reach the end because the cutscene continues with the character he hates.
he feels a bit better when he learns the abyss mage is in the domain because he gets to see and hear something that isn't the cryo character.
then he meets you.
you run into the domain out of nowhere, quickly defeating the abyss mage and tossing it towards the corner.
"knights of favonius... always so inefficient."
his chat goes insane when your character appears, especially because of how dumbfounded diluc looks.
he's known for not really emoting and it's the same case for this scene. however, his chat knows he is in love with your character.
he takes a few minutes when he's kicked out of the domain but he clears his throat and looks over at the camera.
"i'll be streaming this game again soon when the others don't want any drinks."
YOU SINGLEHANDEDLY SAVED THIS GAME FROM BEING TOSSED AWAY WITHIN A MINUTE OF APPEARING
THE POWER YOU HOLD OVER THIS MAN AND HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW YOUR NAME--
cut to after he's stolen the lyre and is sent to the tavern.
he's a bit excited because he gets to visit mondstadt's tavern but then--
"master (name), this is this week's accounts."
"they're back."
HE'S SO NONCHALANT BUT WE ALL KNOW HE'S FREAKING OUT
he gets second-hand embarrassment when venti talks to you asking for the... least conspicuous table.
he's kinda sad when your character is suspicious of him, but he understands.
when the knights leave the tavern, he really wants venti to just shut up.
please you're embarrassing the man.
when he hears how you feel about him joining the knights, he is so willing to quit--
man just wants you to be proud of him and trust him :((
he's relieved to hear that you will help him and you don't hate him.
please give him validation--
childe's playthrough -
man is still rich he can do whatever he wants.
his gaming streams would definitely be pvp based games. honestly, just any game where he can fight someone, he'll play.
his chat also has a few little games they like to play together like guessing what the hell this man does to have so much money--
also his siblings crash in on his streams sometimes :D
those are pretty much the only times you'll see him be soft and not so competitive.
teucer likes crashing his streams to show off his plushies :))
anyway, genshin time!
he definitely tried to fight paimon the first time he loaded the game.
please expect lots of genshin stream from this guy because he needs to make his team deal the highest damage he can get.
also his wallet doesn't even have a dent in it despite all of the money he's spent on characters and weapons.
please sir what do you do for all that money
ok so onto your first meeting
he was really excited when the exuvia fell during the rite of descension because he thought he would get to fight whoever killed the great archon of liyue.
he really wanted to fight the millelith but then his chat convinced him to dodge them first.
one of his viewers explains that there's a character they know he'll like and he was very... intriguied to say the least.
he moves forward in his chair once his character is heard by the millelith, prepared to fight the various soldiers surrounding him.
"hang on, sweetheart. i've got this."
this man will squeal when you flip over the stairs in front of his character.
he doesn't know who you are and what you do but he knows for a fact that you are his new favorite character.
you take down all of the guards in two seconds, leaving him (and his in-game character) dumbfounded.
"come with me."
"o-okay..."
he's smitten.
he absolutely loves the way your character fights even if he met you about... a minute ago.
his siblings definitely come into his room to check on him because he's so quiet.
once he realizes you're a part of the harbingers, he's even more obsessed.
he hates the options the game gives him when he needs to respond because 2/3 of them are insulting you.
anyway he really likes listening to your voice.
he will give anything to hear you call him sweetheart again.
his chat informs him that the traveler he chose changed the nickname you give him, which makes him very happy.
when you send him off to talk to the other adepti, he's kind of disappointed he doesn't get to hang out with you.
but when he gets back to you...
"welcome back, sweetheart. how was your trip to jueyun karst?"
HE'S SOFT ALL OVER AGAIN PLEASE KEEP CALLING HIM SWEETHEART!!!
when he learns you're rich just like him... he gets all pouty. his chat, of course, wants to know why.
"... i want to be able to spoil her."
PLEASE HE'S SO IN LOVE WITH YOU <3

short texting hcs for the sillies texting ..... me i suppose lol because i have nothing else to do and i’m very bored (*μ_μ)♪
Tumblr media
DILUC —
initially a bit dry and boring through text. maybe even annoyed? ends up having to send the occasional voicemails for important messages so as to not leave the intention or tone ambiguous.
he does use :) occasionally though. he's awful
will probably eventually succumb to asking someone ( like perhaps that piece of shit calvary captain, though he knows he’d never hear the end of it afterwards ) for help when it comes to important ocassions.
“i don’t understand why i have to write more. surely a ‘happy birthday.’ would be good enough?”
doesn’t really care for stickers or emojis so he doesn’t use them lol ( loser )
replies are infrequent because, you know, he works !! but he does make sure to give a good morning/night text, never forgets it. also informs when he gets off work
proper grammar, capitalization and punctuation because he’s sooo smart and cool whatever.
profile picture is probably something silly like a shot of a wine glass or a plain color. he’s boring!!
has me saved as just “Mika” because again, he’s boring!! tbf i would ... have him saved as like, “Diluc” too. fuck you
ZHONGLI —
like diluc, also uses proper grammar, capitalization and punctuation like a loser. sometimes uses pet names
may be the type to send images like these ↓ bc he’s an old man. but he’ll stop eventually i promise i can fix him!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
messages are never short, and he doesn’t spam w many texts either.
doesn’t really use emojis or stickers - i guess it depends. the message could be something like “Good evening, I’ve just gotten off work. I can’t wait to see you, my dear 😘” but again i can fix him!!
sometimes sends voicemails when he’s too busy to type, prefers to call over it though.
will ocassionally send pictures of the thing he’s doing, like a shot of the paperwork on his desk, the sunset he sees as he’s walking home or the tea that he’s currently brewing.
.. might even send one of those obviously scripted, unfunny tiktoks. sigh
profile picture is the default one or again, a plain color. he doesn’t care
saved my contact as “My Darling 💝” or some other cheesy nickname idk he probably didn’t even bother to change it until he realized he could!!
contact name for him would probably be something like “morax ♡” i’m cringe but i’m free
CHILDE —
doesn’t care that much, will type in lowercase and makes typos every now and then
like zhongli, sends pictures of the things he’s doing. sometimes he says things like “i saw this cat outside, it made me think of you ♡” or pictures of the most recent catch he’s made — maybe he’s visiting relatives so he’ll send pictures he took w his family, maybe something like “teucer and i are baking!” or a video of the snow falling idk
uses stickers and emojis ironically sometimes..... 😔
will always find the time to reply, and does it pretty quickly. his messages aren’t that short, and he doesn’t get tooo spammy
profile picture is probably a selfie of himself or one of those simple drawn cutesy cartoon icons ( like of a dog, dunno ) he wanted to use one of his family but opt out of it
my contact’s probably saved as “mika 💗” or something simple. my contact for him would probably be a keyboard smash
Tumblr media
basically.

Ended up In a Boat (Childe/Tartaglia x Reader)
“Big sister y/n!”
“Hi Teucer! How are you?”
You weren’t Teucer’s sister, well, at least biologically.
At far most, you were his babysitter. You had known him ever since you were a child lmao and when he was in the crib, and of course you were quite close to his family as well.
Besides Teucer, a certain someone has been the most closest to. He had been with you ever since the day you were left all alone in the rain, crying for your parents to come back.
The people of Snezhnaya haven’t really treat you as well due to your poor status, and your parents couldn’t take the pressure of raising you anymore, abandoning you.
He was the one that found you all alone, and begged his family to let you stay with them before finding a suitable place for you to live in.
You and him practically grew up together before finding a place for you live during your teenage years, still in contact with him.
Nowadays, you rarely see him, as he was now in Liyue most of the time.
At least you could talk to little Teucer.
==================================
“Teucer! Wait!”
“Come on, y/n! Brother might be on board!!”
You have absolutely no idea how you got yourself into this situation.
Teucer just saw a “toy selling boat” and decided to sneakily jump on board with you.
You quietly tipped toed your way into the boat, while trying to keep up with Teucer.
“Teucer, we should head-”
“Hoist the sails!”
A loud horn blow could be heard, and you felt the ground jerking a bit before moving, further and further away from Snezhnaya.
Oh shit.
==================================
“Is...is this Liyue?”
“Woah!!!! It’s such a huge place!”
“Teucer, we already gotten so far away from Snezhnaya. We need to find a way back home.”
“But- but we just got here, y/n! And brother might be here, too! And I wanna see him again! Don’t you miss big brother too?”
You pondered for awhile. As much as you have no idea of your surroundings, Liyue being a big town already, getting lost and getting into trouble would be far easier than in Snezhnaya and you hated taking risk,
but, you couldn’t deny that you didn’t miss him.
“Okay, fine. I’ll ask around. But stay close behind me!”
“Yes, ma’am!”
===================================
“Mr Zhongli said he’ll be right here....” you muttered to yourself while holding Teucer’s hand.
You heard it.
“Relax, once in a while can’t hurt. It’ll be fine!”
“Is that-”
“Yay, my brother! We found you!”
“I know that voice,” Tartaglia turned around, “why, if it isn’t my little brother, Teucer!” 
That’s where he met eye contact with you. You couldn’t help but get caught in his ocean eyes.
His eyes softened upon seeing you.
“My goodness..”
====================================
“Taglia. Explain.”
“Argh...please, just listen, y/n..”
Just recently, you bumped into Tartaglia after bringing Teucer out for a walk. He was talking to what seems to be a bunch of treasure hoarders and claim them to be “toymakers”. Teucer, of course, being the naive and innocent child he was believed in his big brother’s claim. You, on the other hand, weren’t. You weren’t a child anymore to believe what he said. Those were treasure hoarders he was talking to you. A 100%. But, of course, you didn’t tell Teucer. That would have scared him, and Taglia looked at you with begging eyes not to spill a word.
“I know, I know. You’re wondering what’s going on. You can kill me all you want once I spill it...but please just- please just don’t tell Teucer about it..”
“Fine. But tell me. Why are you getting involve with dangerous people? Is this what you do nowadays?? Look like you deal with the black market???”
“I- I’m- I’m a fatui..”
“What..?”
“A fatui.”
Those infamous people. Those people are highly dangerous in Snezhnaya, that many people have considered them the “dark side” of Snezhnaya. They were...more than just criminals. And now just hearing your crush- I mean, long time childhood friend being one of them, 
you couldn’t believe it.
“I-”
“I know. I’m... a monster to you now. I’m just begging of you not to tell Teucer.”
“Does your family knows of this..?”
“Some.”
Silence.
“I just-”
“Stop.”
Childe could feel and hear his heart shattering by the minute, one piece crumbles each time. He has known you for so long, and he really loved and cared for you. He never wanted to tell this to you mainly so you were kept safe and wouldn’t hate him. Now.... he doesn’t know what to do.
“Listen, I know for myself this is hard for me to take in, but you have been my friend for so long, and I know you’re smart. I know you still care for your family, especially Teucer, so....I trust you know what you’re doing. Just....stay safe.”
I care about you too.
“Yeah, I will.”
He decided to lighten the atmosphere that was kept gloomy and tense for a long period of time.
“Obviously. I’m the great Tartaglia!”
You rolled your eyes and smiled, lightly elbowed him in the stomach.
“Whatever.”
===================================
“Who’re you? My big brother always tells me to never go off with strangers!”
“Teucer, your big brother told you us he would bring a chauffer to us, remember? I think it’s him..”
“How would we know, y/n?”
“Here,” the man said as he passed us his card.
“See? It’s under your brother’s name!”
“Alright, but if you do anything to big sister y/n, know that I would be there to protect her!”
“That’s very sweet of you, Teucer,” you giggled.
Finally, you could go back home.
And, bonus, you got to meet Taglia, even if there were...bitter moments. It still turned out fine.
“Come on, Teucer you go first. I’ll carry my bag.”
Yeah, you bought a nice looking bag. It was super cheap, too!
“Alright! You better tag along fast, y/n!”
“Pinky promise.”
Teucer smiled before rushing to the boat.
“Y/n.”
You turned around to see that ginger haired man again.
“Taglia? Why didn’t you say goodbye to Teucer?”
“Well,” Tartaglia said, scratching the back of his head, “it’s complicated.”
“Of course.”
“Hey, listen, before you go, here’s something I wanna give you.”
He took your hand and placed a silver pocket watch.
“Been making it for a long time. Call it a piece of fine art, eh?” he smirked, obviously proud of himself and his “fine art”.
“Ha, ha. Very fine.”
He laughed and my sarcastic remark. “Alright, alright. I won’t hold you for too long. You better get going.”
“Bye, Taglia. I love you.”
“H-huh?”
“What “huh” ? Not even-”
Wait.
Ah, shit.
The sudden realization upon recounting what you said caused you to feel so embarrassed that your face was much redder than an apple.
You really screwed up.
“Wait- I- um-”
Trying to find an excuse, you were cut short when you felt a something warm on your lips.
“Mn..”
He pulled apart, as he slowly opened his eyes, pink dusted his cheeks as he looked at you again.
“I love you, too.”
He smirked a little, but looked overall soft, “stowaway.”

Alright, so a while ago, I made this sorta meme-like post talking about how Diluc is a good person who just makes really terrible life decisions, and one of the responses was something like "the same can be said for Childe," and that kinda got me thinking... can it really?
Before I get into this, I feel like I should say I'm defining a "good person" as. I think a good person is someone who actively tries to do the most good (with whats considered "good" varying depending on the situation) they can for the most amount of people possible at the time.
So, my short answer to the question of "Is Childe just a good person who makes terrible life decisions?": No, he's not. Childe unleashed an evil god that could have drowned all of Liyue. And its not like this was a random, spur of the moment kind of thing- he had been planning this for months. Yes, he knew that there was a chance that Rex Lapis would save everyone, but I can't imagine a good person taking that kind of a risk.
Now for my long answer...
I think Childe used to be a good person and could go back to being a one, but he's so thoroughly convinced himself that he's bad that its become a self fulfilling prophecy.
So, heres the thing about Childe- He is inherently a kind person (He obviously loves his family and takes great care of them, and he treats everyone in a polite/friendly manner), but his experience in the abyss left him with a strong craving for what I would assume to be the adrenaline rush he gets from fighting strong opponents. I don't think he actively seeks to hurt others- he has expressed on multiple occasions that he despises attacking those who don't stand a chance against him, he was pissed about being tricked into attacking Liyue, he actively avoided summoning Osial, he expresses a strong disproval of underhanded tactics, and hell, he even straight up says he hates his job and wants to quit so he can travel the world with you- but his desires often lead to people getting hurt regardless of what his initial intensions are (and we know for a fact that this man is not always the best at keeping control of his emotions). He knows what he's doing is wrong, he doesn't know what else he's supposed to do, and he's clearly not happy about any of this (like, the dude doesn't even have any light in his eyes)
Why do I think he's convinced himself that he's a bad person? Well, he says so himself here at the 1:56 time stamp. Its possible that he stopped thinking he could be a good person when his parents sent him away to the Fatui (idk man, its gotta hurt knowing that you're too much of a monster for even your parents to want you around. Like, this is the Genshin equivalent of a roudy kid being sent to military boarding school), but I don't really have any strong evidence to back up this claim. Assuming this theory is correct, this would have made him isolated, vulnerable, and suggestable. The Fatui took the traits of his that he already saw as bad and only amplified them. Even after that, they still sent him away and didn't want him around. Childe is almost completely isolated and lacks any sort of real companionship. He is just alone with his violent tendencies and has no good influcences around him... well, except-
Being around Teucer obviously brings out a much softer side of him. I think part of it is because Childe himself cares deeply about Teucer and wants the best for his brother, but I think its also because Teucer has such unwavering faith in him. Like, there is no doubt in that kid's mind that Childe is the greatest person in the whole world, so of course he's gonna try and live up to those expectations.
Childe's whole story quest sorta had a theme of trusting others with the vulnerable parts of yourself. Childe trusted the traveler with his brother, he trusted the traveler not to kill him, he trusted the traveler with his weakness- I think that maybe if more people were to start trusting Childe like that, start believing that he could do the right thing, then maybe, just maybe, Childe might try and change himself back into a good person.
He'll always have his violent tendencies, but I think he would be able find a better outlit for them.
Anyways, this theory could all turn out to be total bullshit in the future. Genshin Impact isn't a finished story, and this is just based on all the info I have on Childe as of August 10th, 2021. Feel free to leave your own thoughts in the tags or comments. This has been todays brain rot, see ya later

Shooting Stars (Childe x Fem!Reader)
note: honestly, no one asked for this. this is obviously self-indulgent, but god FUCK do i love that ginger fatui man so much.
word count: 2.6k
"Careful now."
Childe's voice was calming, much like the gust of wind that blew past your hair. You saw his hand in front of you and you gladly grasped it, heart racing at the idea of falling to your death. The wind was calm and the air was refreshing, but there was nothing light about the pit in your stomach screaming at you to just carefully glide back down to the foot of the mountain you two were climbing.
"You aren't going to die, dear." He laughed, amused at the sight of your face.
"And what if I do? Childe, this isn't funny!" Your knees were planted firmly on one of the floating rocks just above Qingyun Peak. You grimaced at how the moss scraped against your bare knees, but you felt paralyzed with fear at the thought of falling because you knew better than to trust your clumsy nature.
"I'm not letting you fall. Trust me!" The genuine concern and reassurance in his voice was masked with his charming playfulness, and you couldn't help but sigh and stand up to follow him up to the floating island up ahead.
Childe requested to occupy your entire day earlier that morning, saying something about him showing you a beautiful sight that's sure to take your breath away. You agreed, entertaining his idea of a beautiful sight. After sparring with him in the golden house, eating a sumptuous lunch at Wanmin Restaurant, then sparring with him again, you two headed over to Qingyun Peak. The sun was about to set, and your eyes were mesmerized by how the purple hues above your head covered the entirety of Liyue.
The golden hour was nearly over, and here you were, scared out of your mind, with Childe leading you up a path of floating rock chunks that you were sure would collapse if two of you stepped on one at the same time. However, much to your surprise, they didn't.
"I've got you, okay?" Your companion's voice rang in your ears, and you didn't notice that he stepped down from his current platform to take his rightful place beside you. His right hand was still holding yours, and he used his free hand to rub gentle circles on your lower back to comfort you. You breathed in his scent- a mix of dried sweat and blood with a hint of his perfume clinging to the fabric of his collar. It was a familiar scent, something that soothed you despite being thousands of feet in the air with no stable architecture to calm your nerves. You just had to trust that the Adepti architectures knew what they were doing when they built this pavilion.
"Okay," You whispered to him.
Surprisingly, the climb was easier than you initially expected. It did help that Childe was almost carrying you the rest of the way, but leaning into him was inevitable and unavoidable. It wasn't because you wanted to be buried deeper into his chest while he held you close to the point that the exposed skin on your lower back was starting to burn because his clothed fingers were just lingering there. No, definitely not that. You were simply prioritizing your safety.
"See? It wasn't that hard, right?"
"You could have told me that we'd be heading to the pavilion. I could have mentally prepared myself for the climb."
"Mentally prepare? I'm quite sure that clinging onto me the whole time put you at ease, hm?" You wanted to wipe the smug grin off his pretty face.
"Shut up before I make you, fatui."
He let out a hearty laugh, throwing his head back and clutching his sides.
"You're honestly too adorable for your own good." He stepped closer and moved the hair out of your face as you felt another strong breeze blow by.
"I said shut it!" You felt a rush of heat spread across your cheeks as his eyes scanned your flustered figure.
"Here, take a seat." He motioned to the stone seat facing the sunset. "I did tell you that I'd show you a beautiful sight tonight."
"I trust your taste, so it better be worth it."
"When have I ever lied to you?"
You shot him a look. As you were about to open your mouth to speak, he quickly interjected with a defeated sigh.
"Don't even answer that." You could only chuckle as he sat down beside you, inching closer and closer until your shoulders were brushing against each other. This wasn't really the first time that you and him have been this close with each other.
You and Childe have a... complex relationship, simply put. It's not like you were dating, but the way he treated you- with respect, with care, with love; You wanted to melt in his arms as easily as you could fight him with your sword. You weren't really sure if Childe had romantic feelings for you because he never really talked about it, but you could only go off on his actions, and they directed to the one conclusion that he did have feelings for you.
However, as your former partner in research, Albedo, once said, "Do not assume unless stated otherwise. Logic and officiality back facts as much as they debunk assumptions." In reality, it was so easy to understand. Theoretically, it was easier. However, now that you were there in that position where all signs pointed to Childe having romantic feelings for you, you didn't know what to believe in.
Did you want to trust your gut instinct, or did you want to wait until Childe made it official and clear? It was a mindboggling situation for you because you also found yourself enamored by him.
Why... Why were you even enamored in the first place?
Maybe it was because you adored how he talked about his family. You could just listen to him for hours on end as he fondly tells you the tales of his adventures with Tonia, Anthon, and Teucer. It was the way that his deep cerulean eyes lit up whenever you asked about short anecdotes about his family that he could comfortably share with you. He adored his family so much that it made you feel... jealous. Aether was your only family, and you were still on the pursuit to finding him, so you were envious of how Childe could still visit his family back in Snezhnaya if he wanted to. You? You weren't even sure if your brother was still in Teyvat.
Maybe it was how he always tended to your wounds after each time you sparred. Although Childe claims that he's nothing more than a bloodthirsty hound who wishes for nothing but power and glory, he really can't stand seeing you with an open wound or a bleeding nose. While Childe is primarily the reason behind your injuries, he'd also be the first to bring you gauzes, band-aids, and medicine from Bubu Pharmacy. You'd always be touched since he tends to you first before he paid any mind to the bruises and cuts that adorned his skin.
"Your health is my priority, comrade. After all. who else could match my skills in combat if not you? That's why you better take care of yourself, or better yet, allow me to take care of you instead." His words echoed in your head, and you blushed, realizing the possible implications of his statement.
Maybe it was his surprisingly sharp memory. Though Childe could never compare to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's Consultant, Zhongli, he would often shock you at how he remembered things so well- especially when it came to you. One time, for your birthday, he bought you a necklace with your birthstone as the main gem adorning the fabric. You only ever mentioned your birthday once, and it was at an awkward moment during Hu Tao's birthday celebration, that's why you didn't think Childe would remember it at all.
"I pay attention to you more than you think, dear. I also happen to store things in my memory bank if they're that important to me." You remembered how he laughed as he insisted on putting the necklace on for you. Your hand instinctively latched on to the beautiful gem resting on your chest.
Maybe it was the way he called for your name. Whether he said your name in a battle cry, as a greeting, or in the middle of him teasing you, you were absolutely intoxicated with the way that your name rolled off his tongue. The way the syllables just always seemed so right when it was Childe who spoke them. Often, he would call you comrade, dear, or another endearing nickname he managed to create on the fly. However, when he spoke your name, it was always magical for you.
"Happy birthday, dear _____. I hope you enjoy this present!"
"It seems as though you've defeated me today. No matter, _____. I'm sure I'll triumph over you tomorrow."
"You look lovely as always, _____. Want to spar with me?"
"_____."
"_____."
"_____."
You were snapped out of your little daze. Your name being called over and over again wasn't just a hallucination caused by your infatuation with the eleventh harbinger. He was actually calling for you.
"Hey, _____? Are you feeling okay?" You blinked a few times before you realized that his blue eyes were practically puncturing your own. They were glazed over with concern, a sign that he had been calling you for a while now.
"O-Oh, I'm sorry!" You jolted, straightening your posture. "I was just fascinated by the sky, is all. I didn't mean to startle you."
"The sky, you say? Were you really thinking of the sky? Perhaps you were thinking about me instead?" His tone was teasing, a little more relaxed now that he knew you weren't feeling ill.
"The sunset was lovely. Although I see it everyday in Liyue Harbor, viewing it from up here in the pavilion is truly sensational. Thank you, Childe." You spoke, ignoring his attempt at riling you up. Of course, you were also ignoring the fact that he hit the nail right on the head with his guess.
"You didn't deny it, girlie." His voice was like a melody in your ears, a sweet harmony that made you feel elated. Anyway, why would you deny it? You were a woman of principle, which means you detested lying. It doesn't count as lying if you neither confirmed nor denied his guess, right? Right, keep telling yourself that.
"Don't flatter yourself." Your curt reply was met by another laugh.
"It should be anytime now," His words met the wind and your unknowing ears.
"What is?"
"Let's just wait for a few moments. I took you up here to see something more than just the sunset, after all." He gave you a wink, to which you just huffed and turned your crimson face.
A few moments passed, and Childe was already bouncing his leg up and down; Something you knew he only did when he was anxious or frustrated about something.
"Is something the matter?" You asked, watching his face grimace.
"Ah, perhaps my predictions were wrong." He stood up to stretch. "We were supposed to see something more than just the sunset, but perhaps Celestia just didn't want our little date to go as smoothly as I initially planned."
Hang on.
Date?
This was a date?
Your heart was racing and your mind began to fill itself with unanswered questions, but Childe knew better than to keep you waiting more than you already were.
"Hey, darling?" Your stomach dropped at the use of this nickname. "Do me a favor. Focus on the sky and don't look away until I say so."
You gave him a nod, unable to form the words that would suffice as a comprehensible sentence. He had you tongue-tied with just a simple nickname.
He walked away from where you were seated, just a few paces to your right and a couple of steps back. He was far enough to the point where you couldn't see him in your peripheral, but close enough for you to hear the jiggling of the adornments and chains on his clothes. You knew that sound even if it came from a mile away. You had it memorized by heart because of how many times you heard it before your sparring sessions began.
He took out his bow and was aiming to shoot an arrow.
Admittedly, there was a little voice at the back of your mind warning you about the potential danger just a couple of feet away from you. However, you decided to fight against it, knowing that the "potential danger" was just Childe. He'd never hurt you, right?
Despite the trust that you put in the ginger, you still closed your eyes as you heard him release the string of his bow. The quiet whizz of the arrow flew by your head, and when you realized that he wasn't shooting at you, you carefully opened your eyes to see a bright blue arrow shooting across the sky.
Your mouth went agape at the consecutive hydro-infused arrows flying across the velvet sky bedazzled with stars. The moon's glow illuminated the scenery, which made the setting all the more romantic and intimate. The vibrant hues of green and blue mixed with each other in the sky, creating an aurora borealis.
You were marveling at the number of arrows crossing the sky.
They were like shooting stars, except... they reminded you of Childe.
Though you knew they were only faux shooting stars, you closed your eyes.
"Archons, if you could be so kind, please allow me to be with him." You whispered to yourself.
You then opened your eyes to see the last arrow slowly fading away from your vision, and the hydro vision holder you loved so much sheepishly standing in front of you.
"I thought that the shooting stars would be visible tonight, that's why I asked you to come with me up here. Turns out my predictions were wrong. Maybe Scaramouche was right about the stars being a lie." He laughed, rubbing the back of his neck.
You giggled and looked at him, signaling to continue what he had to say.
"Although they were fake, I hope you liked them. I brought you here so that we could wish on the shooting stars together." His face was growing red, and you wanted to run up and hug him, if only your pride would stop getting the best of you.
"I loved them, Childe. Thank you for asking me out here today." You stood up and gave his hair a light ruffle, laughing at how he mocked you for doing so.
"So, what did you wish for?" He asked, taking a few steps closer to you.
"W-Well, uh," You began to stumble on your words, which caused you to involuntarily take a step back. With each step you took, Childe did too.
"Hmm?"
He managed to back you up against the pillar in the middle of the pavilion, and was enjoying the face you made as he trapped you between his arms.
"F-For good health! Yes, good health!" Yes, lying was against your principles, but you couldn't just say straight to his face that you wished for a relationship with him now, could you?
"Good for you then. You wanna know what I wished for?" His face came extremely close to yours, and you could feel his breath on your cheek.
"Wh-What is it?"
"You."
Your eyes once again met his deep blue orbs and they softened when he was staring straight into your soul.
"Can I kiss you?"
You gave a light nod, and he finally closed the gap between your lips.
Albedo was wrong.
You can definitely believe an assumption if the signs were obvious enough.
Omake;
"You totally wished for us to be together right?!"
"Oh, for the love of the Tsaritsa, please shut up!"
"You totally did!"
"I am seriously going to push you off."
"You're so mean, girlie!"
In the name of Kimura Ryohei being the VA of Childe and Kise from Kuroko no Basket

“ice fishing” (pt. 4) (chilumi fic)
[part 1] [part 2] [part 3]
“Childe invites Lumine to the annual Snezhnayan holiday dedicated to the Tsaritsa. There, she meets his entire family, and all the conflict that comes with them.”
hey all sorry for the delay in update my brain went brrrr the past few days LOL :’)
[Fic Masterlist]
“ice fishing” (pt. 4)
The town square was bustling with various food stalls and merchants as the family weaved through crowds of celebrating Snezhnayans. Childe carried Tonia while Teucer held Lumine’s hand; Anthon held Teucer’s other hand, and Lumine and Childe’s hands were joined in the middle. Misha stayed a few steps behind them. Alexei decided to venture out to the countryside, alone, and Feliks and Galina remained at home. 
Childe had his face obscured by his red scarf brought up to his nose, along with a winter hat, as he wanted to avoid recognition as a Harbinger around his younger siblings. 
Lumine stepped in closer to Childe. “I can feel Misha’s disapproving glare burning into my skull,” she whispered. 
“Yes, I don’t think I’ve ever seen her satisfied with anything in the world,” he whispered back. 
Teucer tugged on Lumine’s hands. “Look at those toys, Lumine!” he said, eyes set on a colorful stall displaying various dolls, stuffed animals, and other children’s knick-knacks. The group stood in front of the stall, and the children ogled over the bright colors and playful patterns. 
“Children, I think you have enough toys already,” Misha said. “I think it would be better if you found something more practical to buy.” 
“It’s Lyublyu,” Childe interjected. “It’s a time for festivities; whatever they want, I’ll get it for them.” 
The older sister turned to him. “You spoil them too much, Ajax. How are they supposed to learn and grow up if you keep babying them?” 
His eyes narrowed. “They’re children, Misha. Let them have their fun and dreams.” 
Misha frowned, turned, then walking away. 
I have to know if she’s working with Alexei. Without a second thought, Lumine started following her. 
“Lumine! Where are you going?” Childe called out behind her. 
She turned back, only to see her view of Childe and the children become swallowed up by the intense crowd shuffling around her. 
She cursed, turning back to where she saw Misha’s back receding. Guess I have to follow her now…
Lumine’s tiny frame was jostled around as she tried her best to push through, keeping Misha in sight. The crowd thinned out at the edge of the town square with only a few people dispersed around. Lumine started to pick up her pace to catch up to Misha. 
Suddenly, a tall, blonde man stepped in her way, obscuring her view. 
“You don’t look like you’re from around here,” he said with a smile. 
“I’m not,” Lumine answered simply, moving to get around him.
He stepped in her way again. “You look very beautiful.” 
Great, a creep. “I’m in a bit of a hurry,” she told him. This time, she moved quicker and got around him. 
But he grabbed her wrist and stopped her. “Let me take you out, darling.” 
No, allow me. Lumine charged up Anemo energy in her hand, blowing his grip away. In his shocked state, he stumbled back a bit, where she conjured Geo energy to pull up some stone and tripped him. He fell on his back. 
“What the—?” He looked at her, a mixture of fear and confusion, then got up and scurried away. 
Lumine let out a sigh. The sound of a sword sheathing turned her around. 
Misha stood there, hands on the hilt of her sword. “And here I was, ready to help.” 
“You were going to help me?” the traveler asked. 
“Perhaps,” Misha said. “But it seems like you’re strong enough to handle it on your own.” 
“Oh, uhm, thanks,” Lumine responded awkwardly. Did she...did she just compliment me?
“So, why were you following me? Did Ajax send you?” 
“No. I wanted to ask you something.” Lumine took a deep breath in, then looked Misha in the eyes. “Why are you here?”
A scoff. “Why am I here, at my own home?” 
“Why did you come back? Childe told me you left.”
“Did he now?” Misha took a step closer to Lumine. “And did he tell you why?”
“Your mother got sick. You didn’t want to deal with her weakness. Or your father’s.”
“She’s running out of time. And so is my father. They’re shells of who they used to be.” She clenched her sword’s hilt. “I left to train. To learn. So I could come back and raise my siblings properly.”
Lumine crossed her arms. “I would say Childe is doing a much better job than you are.”
Misha’s jaw clenched. “Teaching them a false reality of the world? That the world is made up of glittering childhood dreams and endless toys? That the world is always kind, no matter what?” She grimaced. “No. That only teaches them weakness. And then they’ll be like our mother and father: weak, empty shells.”
The traveler frowned. “You don’t think children deserve those dreams? You’d rather shatter their illusions of the world?” 
Lumine and Aether hadn’t experienced normal childhoods, no experiences of motherly or fatherly love. Misha wasn’t wrong: the universe could be a cruel place, full of people who wanted to hurt and lie and steal and break—betrayals, heartbreak, blood. Lumine knew that firsthand. But if she could stop someone from going through that, going through what she went through, she would. 
“If it makes then stronger,” Misha’s expression hardened, “then yes.”
And what was her strength? Where does my strength come from? 
She closed her eyes and imaged a vast, endless sea of clouds. Of the air whistling past her as her wings flapped. Seeing one beautiful world after another. With one person by her side. Aether. 
She saw an ocean, felt the misty spray around her, heard the metal clanging of blades. She tasted sweet love and felt power—respect—flowing through her veins. Gloved hands and an illuminating smile. Childe.
Strength. Love.
“It’s easy to hate,” Lumine said. “It’s harder to love in the face of evil. Your parents are strong, Misha, not weak. They have so much love for you and your siblings, no matter what.” Her hand hovered over her chest. “Anthon, Tonia, Teucer...they will be stronger with love and kindness. Not by shattering their childhood dreams.” 
“This is love,” Misha said, her voice as sharp as a knife’s edge. “I love my siblings enough to make them strong enough. So they won’t have to suffer when the world decides to bite down on them, to feed on them.”
Lumine stepped closer to the elder Snezhnayan. “You’re making them suffer now, Misha.” Another step. “They’re just children. Let them be warm, let them have their innocence. You’re right here to protect them. Childe is too.” She held out her hand. “And I will be here too.”
Misha looked down at the outstretched hand, her own hands still hovering her sword’s hilt. She then took a deep breath, and grabbed Lumine’s hand. But, instead of shaking it, she yanked her closer until their faces were inches apart. What—?!
“You...You defeated Ajax?” Misha asked, her voice low. 
“Yes, I did,” Lumine replied, ignoring Misha’s vice grip on her arm.  
“He’s a powerful Harbinger. He’s been fighting for a long time, since before he was even a teenager.” Misha’s eyes narrowed. “And you, a mere traveler, with no vision, bested him in combat?” 
“I did.” 
Misha’s mouth twitched like she was about to laugh. “If there’s one thing I admire about Ajax is his limitless strength—his absolute power. How masterful he is on the battlefield. And yet...you beat him.” 
“And I could easily do it again.” As my powers return more and more...
A pause. Then, a laugh. An actual laugh from Misha? “I can see why he likes you, traveler.” Her grip on Lumine’s arm loosened a bit. “Perhaps what you say is right. Your strength...it doesn’t come from cruelty.” Her icy blue eyes seemed the softest they’d ever been.
“Thank you,” Lumine said, overjoyed she had won Misha over. 
Suddenly, a hand came down between Misha and Lumine, splitting their hold. Childe stood between them, an obviously fake smile plastered on his face. Anthon, Teucer, and Tonia stood to the side, confused. 
“Oh, sister Misha, what are you doing with Lumine?” His voice sounded sickly sweet. “If I didn’t know any better, it would appear like you’re trying to steal her away from me.” 
Misha readjusted her gloves. “If she was so easily stolen from something like that, she would’ve been mine long before you intervened.” She had a tiny smirk on her face. 
Lumine’s jaw almost dropped. Is this...Is she joking?!
Childe’s hands flexed, ready for a weapon. “It’s been a long time since I’ve heard you joke, Misha.” Another fake smile, his eyes dark. “At least, I hope for your sake, it was a joke.”
Misha looked at her brother then laughed. “Of course, Ajax, you don’t have to worry about a thing. I don’t take things that aren’t mine.” She turned to the children. “Come, little ones, let’s go find some toys to buy.”
Teucer’s eyes widened. “Really?” 
Anthon’s brows furrowed. “Is this a trick?” 
“No, it is not a trick, Anthon,” the eldest sister replied. “Maybe some toy swords…?” 
Tonia gasped, jumping to Misha, and hugging her legs. “Thank you, thank you, thank you, sister!” 
Teucer grabbed Misha’s hand and started dragging her back to the vendors. “I think I saw some toy swords over here!” Soon, Misha, Anthon, Teucer, and Tonia disappeared back into the crowded town square. 
“It’s a bit shocking to see Misha so...happy,” Lumine commented, her gaze still fixed on the crowd. Silence. “Childe—?” As she turned towards him, he grabbed her chin—his other hand on the small of her back—pushing her close into a deep kiss. 
Lumine broke away, her face flushing. “What was that for?!” 
His eyes were still slightly dark, arms still wrapped around her. “What did you and Misha talk about?”
...
“...Childe...are you jealous of Misha?” 
“No, of course not.” 
She reached up and pulled his hat down over his eyes. As he tried readjusting his hat, Lumine stood on the tip of her toes, grabbing the collar of his shirt, catching him off guard with a soft kiss. 
“You idiot,” she muttered. “I love you. Just you.” 
Childe pulled his hat back, his eyes meeting hers. “What can I say? You draw people in. It’s hard not to notice.” He rested his forehead on hers. “The thought of you...and...someone else…” He let out a hard laugh. “Well, let’s just say it wouldn’t be a pretty sight.” 
“Well you don’t have to worry about that,” Lumine reassured. “My stupid heart chose you.” 
“Mm, as did mine. I guess we’re just stuck together.” 
Together.
Forever? Her heart questioned without hesitation.

Genshin Characters as the Major Arcana
Gentle Reminder: I just based this on a surface knowledge I have about the Arcana from my fave game Persona 3^^ As such, I paired the characters to the arcana with the help of my sis bcos there were some characters that I don’t know much about~ And again this is just fanart :))
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
That was long ksksks Imma add a commentary under if you feel like reading my thoughts hahaha
Soooooo
Fool: Obviously i was gonna pick the twins since they’re the main characters ksks but other than that- it has to be them because they’re special in a way like they can wield different elements. Zero is an empty number but with vast possibilities.
Magician: It was supposed to be Albedo at first- but persona says magician speaks about immaturity and power. And those two words just fit Klee so much in a good way!! Although-- Klee was supposed to be fortune too but i stuck with magician
Priestess: A woman of wisdom- Ganyu. that’s it haha I was supposed to add Ayaka too but she doesn’t have an official art yet :(
Empress: Lmao do i have to explain why i chose Jean and Ningguang
Emperor: No questions asked- Zhongli is an emperor bow. I didn’t have second thought choosing him lmao
Hierophant: So this one here symbolizes education, authority, and something about divinity and understanding the world. I chose Albedo because as an alchemist he took it upon himself to uncover the truth of the world~
Lovers: EHE no explanation needed~
Chariot: We’ve got victory, self-confidence and command!! I dont think i should explain this that much bcos Diluc is pretty straight forward haha My sister said I should Amber here too and I was about to but didn’t put her here Chariot also means war and Amber is not a war person for me
Justice: I chose xinqiu bcos of his display of justice in his story quest :))
Hermit: This means self-honesty and forging your own path- pretty fitting for Mona and Fischl right? As for Beidou, “why is a pirate a hermit?” Yeah that’s what i asked too when my sister said Beidou should be a Hermit. It makes sense tho- Beidou is a pirate and pirates stay on the sea and far from land and land is where civilization is
Fortune: Qiqi is basically the Preserves of Fortune ^^ As for Bennet, why is our unlucky boi in Fortune? Im soft for Bennet okay I just want to give him more luck and fortune on his way T-T Bennet was supposed to be hanged man but no- My sis said hanged man bcos everything Bennet does might result to more injury and eventually death. So--- NO
Strength: Pretty self-explanatory ^^
Hanged Man: Originally was supposed to be Hu Tao but again- no official art sigh So I chose Chongyun (was supposed to be fortune) This arcana means to take the time necessary for self-reflection and this fits our exorcist bcos he really reflected on how exterminate spirits without the use of his positivity- he wanted to stand by the traditional ways of an exorcist bcos ppl doubt his status as exorcist- yes, reflection for self-improvement
Death: Mr-Bane-of-all-Evil obviously (im so sorry xiao) (I was thinking adding qiqi but thats too cruel for my heart)
Temperance: Balance, synthesis, and harmony- all those for our best girl Sucrose
Devil: Childe- because he was mean in the golden house. Yes he seems to be a good guy but his eyes speak otherwise and i kudos mihoyo for that bcos when i was staring at his eyes in his official art- Dude those eye are empty- you cant read whats he thinking and it bring a sense of mistrust and malice in my way--- Even if I already did his story quest with Teucer that malice is still there for me Fun fact: Lumine was supposed to be the Devil bcos canon-villain but meh still a Fool for her
Tower: Pride and arrogance- a symbol for bad omens (im sorry kaeya) I dont know... something about Kaeya’s aura just tells me somthing bad will happen to him considering his origin- be it bcos of his pride or other things, Kaeya sends me red flags sometimes
Star: A hope in the dark. Barbara is self-explanatory and Diona is a personal experience ahaha- my first time fighting a ruin guard gone wrong and diona saved my ass ksks
Moon: Creativity, inspiration, dreams, and fantasy- all of these which Venti personifies as a bard and the Archon of Song
Sun: Xiangling and Amber brings joy to everyone and anyone, making them the sun
Judgment: I had difficulty picking for this arcana- but it all came down to Keqing. Keqing is a very serious person. She basically personifies logic and rationality- Whenever she declares that the time of the adepti are over- I know she speaks this without baseless judgment as she observes the progress of liyue and humanity in general
World: Dainsleif knows everything and anything and i was kinda spooked out by that in his story quest
AAAAAAAND THATS IT- this was one long post but hey i enjoyed this mini project of mine. I lost my sanity cleaning these cards and characters but thanks to my sugar high I managed hahahaha if you have some thoughts, feel free to share them and if you feel like you wanna speak about your perspective which conflicts mine- pls be gentle commenting ahahaha again this just fanart

Happy Saturday it’s past 2am here’s Harbinger Angst. Because I’m up late and I’m havinggg thoughts.
So here’s my hcs about the Harbingers reacting to/dealing with the news of Signora‘s death :)
(CW For like. Mental breakdowns and guilt and general emotional instability because no one is having a good time here. Oh also cussing, anddd some familial angst in Childe’s bit? Also I am so sorry about any misspellings n whatever it is. Very late and I already have two other posts in my drafts collecting dust that are also HCs so.)
Dottore:
So if you don’t follow my art blog or haven’t seen my Harbinger hcs (which are under the process of some change with new info being released and whatnot), you don’t know this but I HC Dot and Signora to be like sorta just evil siblings
Now because death is such a commodity in Dot’s uh… specific line of work, he doesn’t register that Signora is dead until like two days after he hears the news
He picked up the phone (rotary perhaps?) to go call up Signora‘a office to see if she has any good gossip and then stopped halfway through dialing because it hit him that she’s never going to be there to pick up the phone on the other end. Ever.
He usually listens to music when he’s working but with the absence of Signora ranting he has to take up listening to the radio on top of the music
Problem is: the radio doesn’t have the same charm and cadence to it that Signora’s rants did, because normal people are boring and it’s going to drive Dot up the walls if he has to listen to one more commercial or one more anxious ramble about how cool and great the Fatui are from some stupid radio host trying not to overstep the Tasritsa’s favor like she listens to some boring ass radio station in her spare time!!!
HE HATES IT. But is forced to make do because if he shows weakness he will be torn apart (or so he thinks)
So this leads to him locking himself away in his office even more than he already did
Because he was already intrigued by the traveller after their actions in Mond and their victory against Childe, but them beating Signora in a duel before the Shogun? Oh now that kickstarted a whole new line of study
Especially because his only coping mechanisms are Be Destructive and Dive So Far Into Work You Don’t Think so within about three days he has a comprehensive analysis of everything he can possibly get his hands on regarding the Traveler (without interacting with other people) and is about to pass out because he hasn’t slept
Oh and the funeral was absolute hell for him.
Mainly because while he was barely conscious he agreed to play violin at the service and then promptly passed out and forgot about it so he woke up and was hit with the consequences of his own actions in the form of sheet notes
He endured, obviously, he’s not going to back down from playing something at the funeral of one of the few interesting people in the organization, that’s what tools and cowards do and this might be the Fatui but if he’d survived the wrath of dead gods he would make it through this
Went right back to locking himself away after that though
He actually got bad enough that the other Harbingers took notice of his state and MADE him come out of his labs and eat (mainly at demand of the Tsaritsa because she just lost the Crimson Witch as an asset, she wants the rest of her Harbingers in good health god dammit, the Traveler is becoming a genuine threat)
Broke down at dinner a week after the funeral
Swears that if any of the other Harbingers bring it up ever ever again he will kill their bodies and keep their consciousnesses trapped in a machine that he controls forevermore
Really he’s just glad that no one immediately pounced on one of his few shows of weakness
Maybe he’ll risk it again if it means he can cry it out for another hour but he wouldn’t dare say that out loud, won’t even finish the thought
But you know what he will do?
What he does best, of course
Look at an oddity in the world (in this case the traveller) and seek to pick it apart until he can put it back together without looking and still have it work
The only way he can actually get through his grieving is by finding something to take the edge off
And it just so happens that the traveller is a perfect candidate
Childe:
By no means has he ever liked Signora, in regards to personality or method, but her death still hit him
He had to travel back to Snezhnaya for the funeral, and it did absolutely cheer him up to see his family again and get to spoil them all silly, but with a mind whirling with thoughts it was genuinely hard for him to keep a smile up
Mainly thoughts about battle, because that’s really the only way he can interpret the world at this point
Like he keeps thinking about weather the Traveler was holding back with him, or if they had gained the strength to fight off yet another Fatui plot just in the month or so since Liyue? And if they had gained strength, how had they done it so fast? If they’d been holding back against him had he not shown himself to be a fighter worthy of their strength? Had Signora even faced the Traveler‘s full strength?
Overall his head is much too full of too many things, and it wears him out to the point that he ends up sleeping in late enough for his family to actually worry because usually he’s up before dawn training and they don’t see him until the afternoon
But he’s back on track as soon as he can, because the training helps him think, and once he can resolve most of his thoughts (or repress them so they don’t bother him too often) he’s absolutely alright and fine and ready to go! Totally. Fine. It’s fine.
The thoughts were very much There during the funeral, especially as the first harbinger read a (somewhat summarized version) of Signora’s life to the assembly of Fatui
(Oh and Pierro didn’t really care weather or not Signor wanted people to know her life after she died because she was dead now what was she going to do??)
The reveal that Signora had been fighting for the Fatui because her lover had been killed by the actions of the Anemo Archon, and she desired nothing more than to see him again… it got to Childe. It got to Childe more than he’d like to admit
Because suddenly the woman who he had always known as the embodiment of frostbite and frozen barbed wire fencing had someone she had cared about, genuinely cared about, to the point where she had become the Mondstadt legend, the Crimson Witch herself
And she had lost that lover to the actions of a fool of a God
He swore silently to himself that when the Tsaritsa‘s future came to pass he would make a little monument for Signora. Nothing big, probably a plaque on a nice stone where Mondstadt would have been before the Tsaritsa’s success, but a monument nonetheless
This promise was a spur of the moment thing, and later he would be like “Man she was a jerk, lost love or not why did I promise her that?“ but he doesn’t go back on promises
Besides, actually watching Dottore break down in a grief and sleep-depravation induced haze was also something that got to him because of course the two people he happened to simply Hate The Most in the organization were close that makes perfect sense but also wow it is weird to see Dottore cry and it feels Wrong because after murdering and tormenting so many people… Signora is gone and he breaks then??? What the fuck
Avoids most of the Harbingers after that, just heads home to Morepesok to spoil his siblings silly before going back to Liyue
Oh and his siblings can tell something is up, Teucer especially because when his brilliant big brother, the greatest toy salesman in all of Snezhnaya, is suddenly struggling to keep a smile even though they’re at home… he notices
Childe’s other siblings are all avoiding the subject, they heard about the death of Signora and all, they just assume the organization is going through it tight now and frankly most of them are a little afraid of him weather they‘ll admit it or not
Not Teucer though, he’s confused just because he still has grasped how Snezhnaya works yet, so he goes ahead and asks anyway
Childe just says he’s sad because he has to leave again so soon! And he hasn’t even been able to take Teucer fishing this time, isn’t that sad?
Teucer can tell that he’s lying
But Teucer is also beginning to sense the danger that lies behind Childe’s eyes, so for the first time? He doesn’t push it or say that they could go fishing now if they hurry
Just a grin and a “Next time!! Promise?” Makes it all better and he doesn’t have to think about why his big brother feels unnerving to look at sometimes
Childe is oblivious to Teucer’s growing awareness
He heads back to Liyue and makes himself focus on work
Scaramouch:
Now he didn’t particularly like Signora either, and didn’t really care about her life’s story, because blah blah blah we get it lady you lost someone, we all did, cry about it or whatever
But he does feel… he feels guilty for leaving her to face the Shogun
He had the Gnosis, he had finished Signora’s mission for her without even meaning to, and he had thought it would be funny to just let her face the Shogun without knowing that
To some extent, it’s his fault she’s dead
And it’s not the fact that she died because he didn’t go get her that weighs on him, it’s that he left her to the Shogun of all things
I don’t know if puppets like Scara can feel things like people and such do, but considering how the Shogun expressed frustration and stress when Ei disabled the majority of her functions, I’m going to assume they can
And because of the meddling of ‘some eccentric scientists’ his emotions are probably toned down a tad but he can still feel guilt all the same
And leaving Signora to the Shogun makes him feel guilty because he and the Shogun are essentially kin
Disowned and disavowed kin, but you know
He may have been able to easily counter the Shogun, or even help Signora prevail in her duel, but he. Ran. Off.
He happens to think that that was very cowardly of him
It causes a spike in his aggression which everyone unfortunately has to notice every time he walks by because the sheer static electricity that snaps in the air when he’s in the room now? Haha. Ouchie
Fun fact: he has no idea how to cope with guilt
He channels ALL of it into SHEER RAGE
Ever seen a couple hundred year old man go absolutely apeshit in the Harbinger‘s shared training arena? Well now you have!! It’s not a pretty sight!!
He’s crying and can’t tell why, which fuels his anger, which fuels stress as a fun side effect which just makes more tears and now he has to snap someone in half because he needs it to stop he hates it here he hates it here he hates it here
And in the beginning the guilt wasn’t even that severe for him, it was just so immensely magnified by his lack of coping skills that he very nearly broke himself down
He tried going to Dottore to get it disabled but Dottore had his doors all locked so Scara couldn’t even get a word through to him
Oh and the funeral was fine with him he just left early because he didn’t want to deal with looking people in the eye at the time because, again, his lack of coping skills with guilt magnified the whole feeling so it was almost unbearable
It’s a lot of fighting and breaking things before he’s able to resign himself to some semblance of how he was

Today I was watching some scenes of Childe's story quest and thought of this concept involving besties! Scara's kid & Teucer. What if... What if Teucer convinced his friend to go with him to the boat where his brother could be? What if they accept even knowing deep down that this doesn't seem like a good idea? So both of them end up in Liyue and while Teucer is excitedly talking to the Traveler about his brother, Scara's kid is just panicking inside because omg where are we how are we going to go back how long have we been here oh no oh no their parents are going to be so mad once they go back home--
So in the end Traveler ends up looking after both kids but Scara's kid is probably super hesitant to accept anything coming from them or Childe because they feel kinda guilty for coming unannounced... And without permission of their parents... Alone... To a... Whole... Unknown... Nation...?
And to add some spice, Scaramouche gets home that day to find his lover freaking out because where is their child? They should be already back from playing at the park so wher are they?!
I can only think he's going to kill someone, whoever he put in charge of looking after his child from afar and make sure they are safe.
After he is finally notified (because Childe had the decency of sending someone to tell him) that his child is at Liyue... He will want to go pick them up immediately and forbid them from ever speaking to that other kid again. And his child tells him about this very kind, blond person who looked after them the whole time and showed Liyue to them, saying how they think he might get along with them because they're so cool and fun and are traveling the whole world like he does, which he remembers when he finally meets them while researching the meteorites. He might feel a super tiny little bit bad about it because his child seemed to want to play with them again, but a mission is a mission, and someday, he'll have to kill the traveler.
Scaramouche won't ever let his child go to the harbor or main roads without supervision for as long as he can in fear something like this happens again and something happens to them. And while it's impossible to try and make his child stop seeing Teucer because those two stick together like glue no matter what, he's giving Childe a warning that if anything were to happen to his child due to his brother's ideas... He's not going to be nice.
-cookie anon, brainroting over the painfully clear contrast between the relationships of the scarachilde and the children 😩😩✨
Cookie anon, YES!!!! I love this idea! Teucer is all for visiting his big brother in Liyue, but Scara’s child is on the fence about it. Eventually they cave and decide to go with him because he’s their best friend. Besides, an adventure with Teucer sounds like a lot of fun! 
Scara and Childe’s relationship is so different compared to the relationship Teucer and Scara’s child have and that’s just so funny. I’m sure Scara probably told his kid to never hang around Childe or his siblings because they’re a ‘bad influence.’ Obviously that’s not true, but because of Scara’s opinion of Childe he thinks he’s the worst person in the world. Childe really doesn’t mind Teucer hanging out with his senior’s kid. It is what it is and kids will be kids. He sees no fault in it, and if the two of them get along well enough why should they be separated? That doesn’t mean he’s going to be nice to Scara, though. 
As for the traveler, both Teucer and Scara’s kid love them! They’re so kind and fun to travel with. But due to Scara’s mission he will eventually have to kill the traveler. So it’s better if his kid were to focus on Teucer instead. He’d prefer the two of them play together instead of wanting to see the traveler again. After a while he will get used to his kid being best friends with Teucer, but he’ll never overcome the irritation he feels when he sees Childe.

Okay, this demented carrot child always comes first in his year in practically every subject in Liyue Academy without breaking a sweat.
Then you came along from Mondstadt School for Gifted Students and came in first place, with Childe 1 mark behind you
This is obviously a huge blow to him, because no one has ever upstaged him and over 1 stupid mark too! 
School is shit too, so everyone makes a big deal out of it too
Childe swears to god that if he heard one more, “But you were always first place!” he is going to drown the school
As long as you didn’t beat him in P.E, you were safe from his wrath-
*Insert a visual representation of you wiping the floor with the poor boy’s ass in dodgeball*
You didn’t really make a big splash (haha) on your arrival to school as it was test week, but students flocked around you and Childe wishes that your innocent face were a little less cuter so that he could smash it in
He went up to you a few times too, looking for a fight that you tactfully avoided because feral children like Childe are to be ignored
You get bombarded with height jokes every ten seconds, and sometimes, a little whale doodle in found in the corner of your neat notes (in pencil, he doesnt hate you that much)
He becomes really studious at this point, taking notes in classes instead of daydreaming or playing Angry Bards on his phone 
“Joint first place...” You two mutter in disbelief, “JOINT FIRST PLACE?!” 
This is your breaking point too, this stupid orange beanpole cannot equal you in anyway
YOU DID NOT SUFFER A MONTH OF: “Can you reach that?” and variations of “Is the air more polluted down there?” Just for him to TIE with you
You look at him, his blue eyes shining with both fury and the thrill of a competition, both of you share an “It’s on”
This is it, boys. This is w a r
You and Childe squabble more often, perhaps not physically but there was this one time you tried to kick the back of his knees when he used you as an armrest
“You look a little tense down there, do you want a massage?” “I’ll massage your fucking neck-” “If you can reach it, that is.”
P.E is filled with sexual tension.
School is shit, so some of your classmates start shipping it
And though you deny it, and say that you would never date a note-sabotaging hooligan, you realise Childe incredibly gorgeous 
He knows you're beautiful too, which makes competition harder because sometimes he just daydreams about to next wrestling match you have with him. It's not because he likes you or anything he just looks forward to flirting fighting with you!
Then comes D-Day, the day when Childe got the message that he has a raging crush on you
So his brother Teucer, who's in primary school, is found crying in the school playground because he accidentally dropped the notebook his brother gave him into a puddle by none other than you 
You comfort him with chocolate and pick up the notepad, looking at the smudged ink that onced used to be a tutorial on multiplying fractions
Huh, this handwriting is familiar, and that whale doodle-  
Holy shit Childe writes notes for his brother? That’s?? So?? Cute??
Speak of the devil, hear comes the red head, his observant eyes catching the red rings under the small boy’s eyes
He grabs your collar, “What did you do to my brother?” 
Childe has never laid a hand on you before and doesn’t really overstep your boundaries, but if anyone touches his precious brother they will pay
Teucer looks at you two and nearly chokes on his chocolate, “They didn’t do anything! I just dropped-“
Small bub starts crying again and Childe hugs him, “Don’t worry Teucer, I'll write you more! I kinda forgot how to multiply fractions anyway!” He lies.
You’re on your way to the city centre, and since that’s close to where rich boy and rich boy jr lives, they tag along with you
“Thanks, y/n. Sorry for grabbing your collar, are you hurt?” He sheepishly scratches the back of his head, a little ashamed of losing his cool.
“I’m good. I never knew you had a brother!” You reply and Teucer jumps.
“Oh, is this the classmate you were talking about!? The one that beat you-” “SH-SHU-SHUSH TEUCER-”
And basically the rest of the day Teucer blabs about Childe’s crush on you
Childe just finds it adorable how you giggle at Teucer’s antics and how you speak so cutely and sofogohoho everything-
After that event, you kind of realise how nice Childe is
Like buying lollies for his senior, Zhongli during the summer
And sometimes he makes sure you eat well because he “can’t be happy when he beats you when you're not at your full capacity.”
He makes more height jokes, but they're in a gentler context now? Like, “You’re so angry and tiny, I should start calling you pocket rocket.” 
You’re slowly getting whipped for him too though. Sure, he draws those damn whale chibis in your notebook, but they have a little winky face and a heart now.
You don’t rub them out anymore, they’re too cute-
Childe burns himself out a lot, so you let him rest on your shoulder during free period and make sure he’s hydrated 
He’s whipped x2 now, good job
So now you guys go on study dates, and he’ll occasionally quiz you.
If you get something wrong, he gently flicks you on the forehead 🥺 But not too hard because “Competing against a person with dead brain cells is bad sportsmanship.”
Childe becomes more touchy (think chemistry, as time increases, the affection this boy has for you increases) like keeping you on one side of the road and ruffling your hair.
Everyone except you two know that you two are gonna be endgame at one point.
So 120000 coffee dates later, you ask him if he’s single or not (He’s popular with the ladies, gents and the non binary folk) and he shakes his head 
You twiddle your fingers and ask him out
Apparently, according to rumours, Childe is really harsh or incredibly sympathetic in terms of rejection.
Hoping to take the fall gently, you shut your eyes, but instead you feel your hands getting squeezing and you’re met with a red, flustered face 
Childe lets out a “Yes!” which comes out more shy than his usual coy tone of voice.
Ya’ll he’s so nice to you? He’ll still wrestle you and bully you about your height, but it’s so endearing?
So two new highschool sweethearts walk into school hand in hand all bubbly and lovey dovey. 
You both stare at the scoreboard of grades in your year...
You watch the colour drain from Childe’s face and when you look you feel like screaming...
“Joint... First... Place... AGAIN?!”

I would like to hear more about Childe's eyes changing colors in response to using Foul Legacy and his Delusion. 👀
ah sorry it took me so long to reply to this!! i need to clear out my askbox haha
this IS a pretty self-indulgent headcanon, and my thoughts are a bit disorganized, but hopefully this’ll explain the rest of my ideas well enough!
(spoilers for the liyue archon quest, childe’s story quest, and childe’s backstory/lore ahead)
-on a very basic level. i like it when characters’ eyes glow or change color when they use their powers. im a simple man i see glowy eyes and go OOOO.
-the headcanon does extend to the other genshin characters partly! in my hc (though this IS partly canon for a lot of the characters) all the characters’ eye colors match up with the color of their element, and glow when they’re using their Visions. (also think the traveler’s eye color changing when they resonate with a different element is a cool concept!)
-childe is different from the rest of this headcanon because he’s not just a Vision holder--he also has a Delusion, and his Foul Legacy Transformation--both of which are powerful, dangerous, and destructive forces, unlike Visions
-it’s established that Delusions can be pretty dangerous, so i think itd be really interesting if using a Delusion enough would have visible effects on the user physically
-having one eye glow purple (in childe’s case) while using the Delusion as the other stays blue is a neat way of showing the two elements, Hydro and Electro, that childe has control over 
-however, in my hc, as soon as most Delusion users stop using the Delusion, their affected eye turns back to its natural color
-not childe though! because like i said, childe’s Delusion isn’t the only destructive power he uses. he also has Foul Legacy
-Foul Legacy is really interesting to me, because it’s something that comes directly from the Abyss--not from the archons or from humans
-Foul Legacy seems to be very destructive, despite being powerful--we can see how it puts childe through physical pain after using it. it’s established that if he overuses it, it could kill him
-which is why i think that overusing it, if not enough to kill him, would leave some sort of permanent visible mark on him
-so i went with his eye! since i had already decided that eye is affected by his delusion as well, i thought it would make sense for overuse of Foul Legacy to cause that eye to become permanently purple, instead of temporarily
-(also, just being in the abyss alone caused a slight change--ive seen it pointed out before that compared to the other characters, childe’s eyes are pretty dull, which was partially the inspiration for this hc. even his normal eye is duller than it should be and slightly tinted purple from his time in the abyss)
anyway, that’s the lore for the hc! other various thoughts include:
-his eye permanently turning purple happens at the end of his story quest, after using Foul Legacy to save teucer from the ruin guards. this makes a lot of sense, because it’s established that he hadn’t fully recovered from the last time he used Foul Legacy yet, so the overuse pushes him far enough that his eye permanently changes color
-he doesn’t realize that his eye changed permanently until maybe a day or two after the story quest, it comes as a bit of a shock to him
-he doesn’t want anyone to find out about it, either, especially not teucer, so he’s relieved that he managed to avoid letting teucer see it 
-i feel like he would partially see the eye color change as a sign of weakness
-he tries to hide it (one of my drawings had him wearing an eye patch) but obviously, that doesnt last a long time (i drew a little comic with zhongli finding out about it that i forgot to post and will probably post later!)
aaaand thats about it! sorry about how. long-winded and jumbled that was KFNSDJKHJSD, i just have a lot of thoughts! some of that was probably a bit inaccurate, a lot of the lore i know about the abyss and about delusions is secondhand knowledge from my friends! thank you for the ask, and again, sorry it took so long!

You read my mind ndksks his heartbroken face would be so pretty to me. It is Canon after all that he's been called pretty boy so why not rub it in his face
I was thinking of what could happen if teucer, poor innocent teucer, found out that everything about his older brother, everything he thought he knew about him, was a lie? His big brother isn't a toy salesman repping for shneznaya, the giant cyclops aren't actually good or gentle, and his big bestest brother has lied everytime they made a pinky promise. All the childhood childe had sworn to preserve shattered in a moment.
hi anon,
YESSSYSYEYSYYESYSYEY AND THEN U LEAVE THEM WITHOUT AN OUNCE OF REGRET BECAUSE HE DOESN’T DESERVE UR MERCY, NO? he’s just a fatui scum who entered your life without your permission, and soon enough, you get rid of the people who are irrelevant to you. yet he remained persistent, what a bitch.
so what’s your plan? destroy him, obviously. that man has given nothing but pain to you. he could lie to your face all you want, but his words were filtered— you knew everything.
