Childe being Very Young and dealing with the Whole Job of being the 11th Fatui Harbinger

  • Just imagine a college student being one of the most powerful people in the world, both in battle-prowess and politically
  • Childe is recruited before the baby fat leaves his cheeks and he takes down an entire battalion. Everyone is slightly afraid and in awe but Childe is frustrated with himself, which isolates him even further
  • Childe spending a lot of his formative years without any friends and assuming that being lonely and having a lot of responsibility is something that everyone has to deal with
  • Childe’s way of making friends is to attack first, ask questions later. I wonder why he has no friends.
  • Childe being tasked with diplomatic relations before he even makes his first friend
  • You, a Very Important Politician, arrive at a meeting with a man whose word could destroy your life and career. He shows up with a band t-shirt, a kid’s carnival mask, and ramen. He calls you dude. This is Childe. You hate him immediately but he has enough political power to squish you like a bug so you have to be polite. 
  • Childe is literally Elle Woods getting into Harvard and being like “what, like it’s hard?” except he genuinely didn’t realize at first because he thought it was normal to be overworked and exhausted and constantly on the brink of a mental breakdown
  • You are a new recruit in the Fatui! You worked really hard to get here and one of your trainers is one of THE Harbingers and… oh, kid, are you lost? Is there a school tour today or–OH WHAT THE FUCK YOU’RE MY BOSS HELLO SIR SORRY SIR
  • Childe hating himself for being a bad big brother because he can’t be there most of the time for his little siblings because he has so much work
  • A vacation? You mean like… a training day? Where he gets to fight all day? No? A day off? Uh. Never heard of that.
  • Signora introducing Childe to the Northland Bank team and being like “this is Tartaglia, he’s your boss despite being the youngest one in the room. He’s very smart but he never graduated from high school. Best of luck” and Vlad’s like ummm. Ma’am this is a baby.
  • Childe feeling anxious when he has an afternoon without meetings and everyone has to be like no, that’s… that’s normal…
