i've reread heart beats so many times over the past few months because of ur flawless zc characterization and beautiful prose. i just wanted to thank u for such a gorgeous fic that has been so comforting at rough points in my life. ur childe is so anguished; so many parts and the ending really suckerpunched me in the best way (the hopeless zc lover in me likes to think they will cross paths again, even if that's maybe missing the point). i will be thinking about this fic for a very long time <3
this is literally so sweet 🥺 it like genuinely amazes me when my writing can affect someone and also makes me really happy, like that's the point of art being shared! and likewise all the nice comments like this have rlly made my mood better,,
(i also like to think their paths will cross again ! i am a very conflicted person who enjoys both tragedy and happy endings )
<3

HELLLOOO THAT NEW CHAPTER WAS SO GOODHDDBBE?2?2??21! i was wondering if you could maybe explain childe’s whole thought process during his breakdown near the end and maybe go into more depth of why he responded like that??? i just think your characterization of him is super interesting and i wanna know more!!! :0
i'm glad you like my characterization! he's really fun to write and he's flexible to take in diff directions. he was kind dealing w the feelings over the whole evening and pushing them down each time until it's like a soda youve shaken and can't keep from exploding. i interpret him as high self confidence, low self worth (admits he's sort of a bad guy, can't even be honest about his work to his young sibling, considers himself a weapon, seems used to ppl not trusting him) and then zhongli treating him like a person w worth reaches a tipping point.
there's a quote where pulcinella says it's best not to get attached to him and childe is self aware enough to realize that. he likes zhongli, but knows zhongli liking him will cause more hurt in the long run, and it's worse since he doesnt feel worth it. compounded with the fact that it's nice, being with zhongli, but it isn't meant to last. on top of he just hasn't really had to process complex emotions of this sort and it's just a lot. i hope that all sorta makes sense
