; a canonverse au where Tartaglia joins Capitano on his trip to Natlan and along the way they find out more about each other and themselves. A story about love and war.

// Fontaine spoilers
you can tell Genshin Impact is a lot of babies' first fandom because they don't know their clichés lol
Putting emphasis on a cut is an indicator of hidden strength/danger. Childe is still far away from reaching his full potential.
it's so sad how Childe hates snakes and distrusts every other harbinger for that, but then the biggest snake amongst them all already has his coils wrapped around him and his family
Cons of Arlecchino being killed by Neuvi:
- another loss for feminism
- bad writing
- questionable build up for endgame / lack of stacks
- makes all Harbingers ranked beneath her a joke
Pros:
- I get to say "at least Childe is still alive 💀" to a powerscaler cunt
I'll forever mourn how the english localization fails to capture the nuance of Childe's character
In other voiceovers you can tell the way he talks isn't Natural *because* he is a soldier
The en version offers you nothing.. it's so basic it gives the impression Childe is Normal
Childe just arrived in Fontaine locked eyes with the oldest hot man there and went straight for the kill he is never beating the allegations i'm afraid
Childe's saviours being all women.. oohh i just know that man incorporates femininity in every aspect of his life, i just KNOW he sees traditional feminine qualities as strengths
@childeiz
Childe's character description: "young adult"
Childe's drip marketing: "the youngest harbinger in history"
NPCs talking about him: "he looks so young", "boy", "dandy kid", "brat"
genshin tiktok: he has to be AT LEAST 34

There's rumours going around that these (included in who-we-suppose-is-Skirk's character sheet) were the first ever concepts for the character "Tartaglia"
hyv perfected the character writing formula with Tartaglia why is dude so intriguing?? The times we work for/alongside him in Liyue and then Inazuma we saw him as 'Childe'. But outside of that (teapot, birthday arts, duels, voicelines) he's 'Tartaglia'
I imagine Ajax's mom finding him hunched over the body of a dead animal scooping out its entrails to eat them. When he notices the new presence his head snaps up and the mother brings both hands to her mouth to contain her gasp. That is NOT her baby
I love the headcanon that Childe is oblivious to how liked he is by the general public, if he had twitter he would post a "cock rating time" meme because he thought it was funny, go to sleep and then wake up to 174 dickpic DMs
Childe has wit. He survived living in the abyss for months, joined the fatui and climbed up to the top in the span of a few years, shares a space with the most cruel and mentally unstable people in the continent, and not only is he alive he still has everything in the right place
all the women he's interacted with share the same "he's alright" opinion of him, meanwhile the men will jump in to call a "rascal", a "headache" and "unreliable". not to mention the time he was called "pretty boy" by a treasure hoarder. Childe the first male victim of misogyny
i think Childe's sexually provocative outfit decisions (exposed midriff, thigh strap, ecchi belt) aren't his own but those of the Fatui's PR team and he just goes along with what they say because, according to him, "is being objectified that bad?"
Childe fans are so unhinged for that man that upon finding out a bird in game has a descreption that correlates with Childe they went full on National Geographic finding out every place of sighting for that damn bird 😭
the biggest dissonance between canon Childe and fanon Childe is how he's always being portrayed as a young but high achiever (Fatui Harbinger, Idol, Pro Skier) while the fandom keeps him in high school
@fatuischilde
"Character who's been established as this overpowered untouchable force defeats the underdog protagonist but doesn't feel like they won because the underdog managed to land a hit on them" is like STANDARD shonen stuff 😭
I was rewatching Labirynth Warriors and once again I'm shown how quick-witted Childe is.
In Liyue he knew abt the tension between the Qixing and the Adepti and weaponized that, and here he shows us again how he can get to the bottom of any situation with only his own observations
some of you don't actually like Childe because why would you read a thread about him as a character and your only concern is how it doesn't favour your ship in the way you like
Childe's mom tried to teach him how to sew but he would only learn it from Skirk and on his own skin instead of cloth. So imagine her surprise when she sees Teucer run to his brother instead to put Mr. Cyclops' arm back.
bro Childe did not survive living among monsters for 3 months and learn Teyvat's forbidden knowledge for y'all to think he would open up that easily. Pulcinella HAD to go over and beyond to earn Childe's trust after all he went thro
@tartaino
Childe is smart, even he knows something is up with Pulcinella, it's just that at that time all he NEEDED was a parental figure to lean on and relieve him of the pain, and Pulcinella was the only one to show up. feed the hungry scraps and they'll thank you for the meal...
fuck that reddit post that claimed Childe was Just A Guy. Childe could have been dissected more as a character, with more theories surrounding his lore if that viral post didn't encourage people to simply regard him as "the guy that fell down a hole once lol"
you wanna know something fucked up? Childe is so devoted to Teucer's comfort and happiness (things he got denied of as a child) he's inadvertently raising a bad person. by not teaching children no means no, it's more likely for them to ignore it growing up
the highlight of Childe's story quest wasn't when he slashed thro all those ruin guards in record time, it was when he put on this disappointed look and said softly "I'm not mad, just worried" to Teucer. In that instant my mind went "...mom?" what the hell was that
// genshin leaks, spoilers, whatever
Foul Legacy is confirmed to be a Khaenri'ah art and you know what the sinners of Khaenri'ah(which The Foul is a part of) wanted? they wanted a descender! and WHO is now The Foul's legacy??! omg guys the theories just keep making more sense!!!
@azuubies
brother.... he SERVES a woman, he was TRAINED by a woman (who he idolizes and wants to find), he has SISTERS. stop projecting your own misogyny on him.

🛡️💧 | ‘older person shows younger person what good sex is actually like after younger person keeps having bad sex’
Childe is not a virgin. He tells Capitano as much when the older man steps aside to allow Childe entrance to his bed chambers.
yes it's pretty neat how Childe didn't let himself be defined by the tragedies of his life but it's also worth considering how he didn't have the chance to process them. first because of Skirk's indoctrination and later because of his enlistment in the military as a kid
@fatuischilde
their 2 only excuses are so easily debunked too:
"it was Childe's blood" the cut started bleeding after Neuvillette takes a few steps and when he wiped it, it bleed out again
"it was from debris" Neuvillette double-checked the blood on his fingers and then looked back at Childe
it's like it fucking PAINS them to admit Childe is strong in his own merit brah if it was from debris Neuvillette wouldn't be double checking his fingers and looking back 💀
I like the idea of Childe being a light sleeper but when he falls asleep in his childhood home or in the teapot some deep part of him will say it's safe and bam. dead to the world. all the strain he's been putting on his body? he's not rousing so soon
But when he gets up and makes grabby hands at her, calling out for her with a watery voice, "Mama... Mama..." She forgets her own fear. She holds the ghost of her son close then wipes the blood off his mouth with her sleeve. She'll tell her husband it was from preparing the fish.
this is where my hc that Childe has no scars comes from 🫣 a man in a position that's always prone to mutilation having no signs of it on his body makes him all the more terrifying
• In the 1.1 Web Event and the 2.2 event, we learn that Childe doesn't get hurt often, even when fighting strong enemies.
• Most importantly, his experience in combat is unmatched. They're not just throwing words arround when they say that he's CONSTANTLY growing stronger.
@tomoyashii
on the spectrum of flanderization by the english dub, Xiao and Childe sit on opposite ends of it
Xiao: I was molded into a weapon of war and I hate it
English team: lmao emo boy
Childe: I was molded into a weapon of war and I love it
English team: lmao silly guy

🛡️💧| Reverse Personality AU (shy Childe, shameless Capitano) | Childe has a 🌸
Childe is very polite. Despite being on the same ranking, he continues addressing his senior Harbingers by their noble titles.
Capitano finds this very endearing.
Wriothesley being colorblind and a law enforcer is such a stupid combination 😭😭 Neuvillette will describe the eleventh harbinger's appearance and Childe will go right under his nose because he's got green eyes and blond hair
but then you also have his admiration for strong men like his father, Capitano and Varka.. his idea of masculinity is also a positive one and he's not ashamed of embracing both
@thechildesimp
@zjxjsy
people really forget Childe was trained since a very young age to go to war 😭 I think it will take a lot more than some rich dude saying mean things to him to break him
imo one of the biggest misconceptions the fandom has about Childe is how they portray him as this boasting idiot when canonically he has shown to be level-headed and soft-spoken
canon: "lone wolf nature", "was once a wounded wolf", "the wolf cub sought Her Majesty's blessing"
all of childetwt: we've talked about this already, his fursona is a FOX 😡
not to mention his personality/life philosophies/personal goals *could* have been a direct result of his prolonged contact with the Irminsul 🤔 or perhaps the Childe we know is not the Ajax that ran away from home all those years ago
Childe remains as one of the most relevant characters in Genshin not because of his story role but because people just love to bring up discourse about him every new week
if you genuinely think Childe is dumb as rocks then I'm worried about you for both your lack of critical thinking and excessive consumption of badly-written fanfiction
my fav brand of Childe is lean build, unblemished skin, boyish face and a smile that doesn't reach his eyes. he is beautiful in an uncanny way. you just stare at him and know there is *something* lurking underneath the surface
god this makes me think about Pulcinella, is he actually a fun gramps with a soft spot for Ajax? or is he just keeping Ajax's family hostage to use against him? or OR, maybe his intentions were bad only in the beginning, then he grew attached 🥹
