me expecting snezhnaya to be bleak and depressing, that snezhnayans are scared into submission by the fatui and that they fear the harbingers but once we get there it turns out they’re actually celebrated as idols like furina 💀
i rewatched the golden house scene and do any of you remember that childe turned himself into water and floated through the rooftop at the end
since when can he do that wtf
take notice he floats into the trifecta 👀
genshin has gone too far with their asymmetrical character design schtick
i love childe’s concert outfit but why are his boots a different length it’s driving me insane
actually it’s so funny to me that childe bored traveler to death talking about his family but i almost forgot there was also arlecchino patiently listening to his yapping lmao
do you ever think there are moments little ajax peeks out of childe and he suddenly starts to feel so tired playing the villain role when he always dreamed of being a hero. do you ever think being a harbinger leaves a strain on him?
i still don’t know what it means but i can’t get over the fact that childe’s master of weaponry passive symbol is almost the same as the circlet of logos artifact piece, except with three stars instead of just one
CHILDE SAYS HE DOESN’T MINGLE WITH OR CARES ABT BORING WEAKLINGS BUT THEN HE HAS HIS LITTLE TWINK PRISON GANG AND SAVES THIS SMITHGIRL FROM SHADY DEBT COLLECTORS AND OH YEAH HOW ABT SAVING THE WHOLE OF FONTAINE FROM BEING SNACKED AWAY BY A MASSIVE NARWHAL
do y’all think childe would have stepped in and defeated osial himself if either morax or traveller/qixing/adepti didn’t step in
personally i do, not only to save the weak but also because he wouldn’t let it slide to battle against an ancient sea god lmao
2 years later and i'm still wondering why Thoma let Childe inside the Kamisato's secret tea house and how they ended up sharing drinks and food as if they were friends in an official art, yet we NEVER got any canon interactions🤡
what if childe is always sent away on missions far away from snezhnaya not only bc he attracts trouble but also bc the tsaritsa can’t bear having him close by all the time?
ok i’m gonna go cry in a corner now
just pointing out that childe’s concert drip has similarities to the uniforms slavic monarchs (tsar) and princes used to wear
did the tsaritsa provide these clothes for him? 👀
oh my god… the person on the mural has to be the foul surtalogi… it has to!
the people of dragonspine were given something that caused their destruction by celestia’s hand
it’s not phanes- it’s the foul, isn’t it?!
@privenari
i swear her 2nd phase was only easier bc she had to actively hold back even more to not accidentally snap traveler and her kids out of existence
// 4.6 spoiler
i’m crying, the trio gifted arlecchino a lizard for her bday and to their surprise she kept it. the kids were so happy they found sth she liked but bc it tried to escape she freed it and then it was eaten by a bird… she’s so emotionally stunted help 😭
@chillwithaster
yeah that sums it up in a simplified manner i think… she isn’t even living with them and barely visits, it’s like a computer in an office she rented for work only
there are barely any indications that she even tries to form a personal bond with the children
@Lola35782832
yeah he doesn’t actively “raise” her but ever since her grandpa died he’s kind of acting as a stand in. that’s more hc than canon though, same goes for xiao’s and zhongli’s relationship
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
i wonder if childe isn’t allowed to discuss his experiences in the abyss or if it’s just a difficult topic for him to talk about for whatever reason
i already knew this and i was honestly surprised when he casually opened up to traveler… though he didn’t disclose much tbf
guilty verdict is here and there. the real question is who actually pressed charges against childe in the first place 💀 who looked at this adolescent lanky ginger and was like “it’s him! he’s behind the serial disappearance case!” a case that’s older than childe is 😭
gi leaks | the fact arlecchino actually vibes with childe makes her leaving him for dead in the aq so funny. whatever went on in her head had to be exactly the same thought process she has when watching spiders die as a hobby
even pierro is surprised there are descendants of the crimson moon dynasty… where tf did arle come from, did she just pop into existence? i do feel like her sq title “a child that shouldn’t exist” doesn’t only apply to clervie
everyone else: wish reached the heavens and they got a vision!
childe: the abyss sensed his ambition and…? how’d he got his vision? idk no vision story 🤷🏻♀️
gosh i wanna add that i’m aware of the festive and colorful culture slavic folks have to offer! i grew up in a slavic household and snezhnaya is actually the region i look most forward to.
it’s weird that childe’s sig weapon needs this specific material that depicts the tale of chiyo, one of ei’s closest friends who was tainted by an abyssal beast. in the first pic the iteration of the events even sounds oddly similar to the tale of ajax the great…
compilation of people childe canonically likes/admires, starting with his family of course
traveler
tsaritsa
paimon
skirk
xinyan
yoimiya
pulcinella?
capitano?
uhh help me out
it’s so funny to me that every harbinger prefers to keep a low profile and to pull strings in the background while childe is just there enjoying himself, going to public performances, mingling with his people, traveling teyvat to souvenir shop and see the world 😭
@immortalstrugls
he’s basically like “I’LL PUT THEM ALL ON TRIAL AND JUDGE THEM-… oh, you say they’re mostly harmless now? still, i will. soon enough. in a century. or four.”

@ts4rits4
i agree actually! i was mostly exaggerating tbh, i also grew up in a slavic household and i do hope that snezhnaya will be colorful and festive
i mostly think of snezhnaya as depressing because of the tsaritsa who is known to be grieving
bet childe wouldn’t kneel in front of anyone but the tsaritsa
he’s a man full of pride who is not bound by any rules or laws or etiquette but when the tsaritsa stands in front of him and her cold gaze meets his he’s on his knees in an instant
Nymph's dream: Odyssean Flower – water lily
In Greece, water lilies are associated with forest nymphs, which are as beautiful as water lilies. This is where the name nymphaea came from.
Nymphaea is the namesake of the name of the set Nymph's dream, that also has another meaning

so wdym arlecchino’s flames can erase memories? the very thing wanderer wanted? and knowing dottore he has probably kept samples of it?
can her flames perhaps erase aka burn THE memory database of teyvat aka irminsul too?
