Loving Childe and shipping Chilumi is wild cuz I feel like I need to go about writing a whole essay everytime to clarify that I don't ship Chilumi just because I love Childe and I don't see myself in Lumine (I see myself in Aether more but don't ship him with Childe...I ship Aether mostly with Xiao😶)
i'm waiting til i finish the archon quest to comment on a lot of stuff but can i talk about the part where we first see childe again in fontaine?? it had me so giddyyyyy if i was lying down i would've been kicking my feet up and giggling. it's rlly cringe and gross and i hate it (please give me more??)
childe zeroes in on aether, shoving one of the guys aside to get closer to him while sounding so excited ToT he ignores the dudes he's supposed to be dealing with in favor of talking about his siblings to the guy he's literally told his family about and ae is just so ready to listen?!?!?? theyre so cute??!?!!?
like do you remember all this???? because i do!! and it's cute as all hell!!!
more than anything, childe trusts aether enough with the knowledge of his family, wants him to be able to meet them one day, despite knowing that there's a chance they'll come to blows even outside of their sparring matches.
for a guy who's very protective of his family, he sure does love talking about them with him.
why does everybody hates childe?? like, before he knew that we would fight him for liyue, he genuinely saved us from the milillith bc he felt like it.
AND, hes the biggest SIMP i have EVER seen. Like, this man is DROWNING for the traveller erverytime he speaks. Just look up his lines on events, serenitea pot, and personal lines. man is OBSESSED.
A vengeful spirit curses Aether with the power of fatal attraction. Two rules of the curse become quickly and painfully clear:
1. Anyone who touches Aether becomes consumed by an irresistible lust.
2. Denying that lust results in an untimely death.
Devestated and broken by his first physical encounter in Mondstat, Aether's journey through Teyvat spirals into chaos and darkness as he tries to find a cure. Along the way, he finds both evil and kindness in the hearts of others.
Rated EXPLICIT for terrible things. Am I summoning the darkness in hecklers by posting here? Is Childe X Aether a rare pair? Is tumblr too soft for a dead dove? Time to find out.
and sorry for no subtitles! i was gonna rip it from my reels but the audio didn’t work so i had to just use the video file and i’m too lazy to go back and add subtitles through the video editor
