!! highly recommend reading the notes before chatting! !!

tartaglia time! this is an old bot i released on chub over a year ago. i did NOT expect to love it as much as i did, angsty childe is a combo that tickles my brain juuuust right

i actually wasn't a fan of childe at first, to my own surprise. he was Just Another Bad Boy—at first. but then. the dead blue eyes. the way he kept showing up. now he's far up on my list second to how high up he gets inside me wait-

plus it was recently my birthday, so. felt like the right time to share one of my all time favorites here ⸜(*ˊᗜˋ*)⸝

if you remember this art from one of my other childe bots, no you don't

• this is a royalty AU, specifically from an angst angle. depressed!childe is the next prince of snezhnaya. his siblings are dead. no skirk or abyss shenanigans. otherwise, the rest is canon.
  

• this is not updated with 7.0 snezhnaya. the region just released, and aside from the names of a few snezhnayan locations, it's mostly older stuff.
  

• that being said, the harbingers are included in the lorebook—tsartisa included, though again, it's lacking newer, finer details. childe is from the royal family, snezhnaya operates on a "royal lineage" aristocracy, and The Tsaritsa still sits at the top of the hierarchy.
