Dead inside but still sexy
512
I really love the idea of Zhongli and Childe talking things through after the Liyue arc while Childe's still there (after some moping around, of course) - and they are so completely smitten with each other. And basically going on dates and being lovey-dovey all the time. But they are both like: "nah, he sees me as a friend. I'm lucky we have this friendship again, I shouldn't push it. This is totally platonic" Two guys who are very smart on their own but incredibly dense about this :3
Childe fell first. Zhongli says something complimentary towards him and he flushes like a jueyun chili and zhongli asks him what is wrong. Childe says nothing, he’s hot. And zhongli leans in and puts his hand on Childe’s forehead.
He’s so close to him that he can feel Zhongli’s breath on his skin, can see the flecks of gold in his eyes.
Childe backs up three feet in his chair and nearly bolts. He avoids Zhongli for three miserable days but Zhongli can’t stand to be apart any longer and waits for him every day until he gets the opportunity to speak to him.
Childe doesn’t want to talk.
Childe fell first but Zhongli fell harder.
He can’t believe his eyes as tears fall from the eyes of an archon, a god, all because of him.
“Ajax, I beg of you, what have i done wrong?”
And zhongli fell hard but childe fell first, so he can’t bear to see him cry.
ANYWAYYY
Do you have headcanons about the teams you play in Genshin? Like these four characters are actually traveling around Teyvat?
After seeing a post about multilingual Childe I randomly remembered that we have an instance of him speaking russian/snezhnayan in his trailer. Does that mean that bilingual Childe is canon actually? 😳
I think it's def implied that while there seems to be a common tongue, different countries have their own language. I mean we've got the oratrice mecanique d'analyse cardinale, furina's song and her demo song were fully in french. yun jin's opera in mandarin. now we've got project stuzha or whatever it is which is russian so...
First! I love ur work <3 ! (and I'm gonna share my dream I had bc its sad and I needa vent) So in this dream where Childe dies and erosion happens and Zl loses his mind and does bad stuff to try to revive Childe and then Childe comes to him in a dream and Zl snaps out of it and then spends the rest of his life making sure Childe is remembered. Idk how my brain came up with this stuff to make me cry at 2am when most of my dreams make no sense.
do u plan on ever adding to the sugar daddy au? love ur work btw👉👈
I would love to see Childe go back to Liyue before joining the project stuzha stuff and when Zhongli sees the state he's in, he insists that Childe stays for a while and he does his best to take care of him. (Yes, I just want Childe to get a hug and someone to care) And Childe decides, although he thinks he's totally fine, no problem, this is the perfect opportunity to dodge Pantalone's yapping. Oh woe is he, no way to leave right now, it's just not possible
I hope this is not unwanted negativity (if so you can ignore me) but I don't understand this competitiveness that seems to go on in hyv fandom. "my ship is 'more canon'" - wtf why should this even matter?? We're all playing around with fiction, why not get creative with it?! Also, these weird takes as if things that happened > 6 months ago didn't happen. I legit started Liyue preferring ch1lumi but as soon as I saw zl and ch interact, it was over for me! No one will ever convince me they aren't implied!
"Old ship" and it's just three years. I miss older fandoms where a ship going on for years was considered a good thing over treating fandom like fast fashion "move on to the new ship per region" that Genshin fandom does. It's so ??? to me.
Kinda sad ppl can mention their ships having complementary designs and tease but you can't mention zhongchi in that anymore without getting bullied just because its "old"
Very silly zc idea with trans childe
Idk if you saw that childe fanart of him making a bag out of his pants where he had no underwear on
So like a childe that doesnt wear underwear with teared up pants between his legs from fighting and a zhongli thats just got home and sees his wifes pussy showing and he just-
LMAO i could imagine him pushing his hand through the hole to tease childe
enemies to lovers zcl - but they were never really enemies, everyone around them just assumed they were. thinking their flirting was meant as provocation or their dates were just "playing nice to keep face". meanwhile zhongli and childe are just happily, oblivious (maybe) in love and probably already married
Do you have a prefered modern AU for ZCL? Like coffee shop or gamer or idol or anything like that?
hiiiii manda how are you!! do you have any fun ideas you'd like to ramble about?
Work is so blah rn that I need some escapism so imagine a teyvat reality show? Like imagine the liyue archon quest but everyone has confessionals so you’ve got Childe being like “wow that consultant sure looks a lot like the statues of the seven” and then the confessional just goes to zhongli laughing like “I don’t know what he’s talking about” like lmao
