hii @blood-orange-juice since U asked ＼(^_^)／ (sorry this took longer than i expected i Had to make a post about it i just have many thoughts)

i wrote a little about this on my twitter ^ post shown above

The post you commented on was originally me rambling about what i think to be tartaglia’s sort of attention seeking tendencies- but to relate it back to chlmi:

In general i find childe to be incredibly needy, whether it's serious or simply a facade he puts on, he seems to greatly enjoy receiving the attention of those he respects and/or appreciates- lumine being in this category.

I personally find this to be incredibly funny and also just interesting. There’s this chronic need to be constantly recognized and praised- like I had said previously in my post. I think this for several reasons: there are personal, more logical ones- Like him possibly being the middle child of his family. There are other ones that are more backed up by canon, like him being an adventure-hungry kid, idolizing the heroes he father would tell him about. All of that just points me to a kid whose family just happened to be preoccupied with the rest of his siblings, and not on, say, little meek Ajax.

One of my favorite parts about this dynamic is the blinding, neverending faith he seems to have on Lumine- he loves her for she is to him: an equal, inside the battlefield and outside of it. I think there’s a part inside of him who honestly wants to save her- but not like, in a patronizing way. I don’t even think it's something that he could even articulate. He wants to be there for her, wants to help her and fight by her side and i’d even say he’d outright hate Aether for acting in a way that, for him, brothers shouldn’t- childe adores lumine, even more so i think he just adores the fact that someone like her even exists: a real hero, an adventurer, a good person.

And he wants her to see him, at least once. He’s greedy, he deserves to be seen by her.

That’s childe on my part. Talking about lumine is a little trickier because all we have are random tidbits on her personality and royal background (which i hateeee i need their entire life story and dislikes and likes on a neatly written page with ribbons and all. But oh well)

Anyways, lumine is like three different unhealthy attachment styles stacked on top of each other wearing a white dress and flowers, (and we love her for it. I support women’s rights and wrongs.) But really, there’s no way you’re normal about your interpersonal relationships once you’ve lived your entire life depending entirely on your brother and assuming he will always be there for you, just for him to leave and also refuse to come back with you when you plead him to. I am reminded of Dainsleif’s question to her (“Do you believe your brother to have abandoned you?”) because I think, in some part, she does.

Some people see her as the opposite, but at least in my experience, an avoidant person is simply one that knows they get too easily attached- of course Lumine is incredibly avoidant. Painfully so. But it's all just a symptom of her root problem, which is being unable to form a normal and not all-encompassing relationship with anyone else. And really, Childe is the worst person for her to come across. He’s unsavable, terminally unfixable, because there really isn't anything there to fix, because everything he is, he’s proud of. It just so happens that what he is is a weapon, and weapons eventually dull or break. And obviously she doesn’t just see him as a weapon (whether he likes this about her or not is up for debate, but any of those are interesting and fun to explore so i'm fine with either jsjs)

Do I think she wants to save him? In a way, I do. In an incredibly selfless way, I think she’d trade places with him if she could (ever listened to kate bush? Yeah. that one song) but also i think she just wants him for herself, not anyone else and certainly not the tsaritsa or the abyss.

So yeah that’s my basis for my thesis, written on the twitter post above. I really think she’d foolishly try to latch onto him the same way she did with Aether (at least I think that serves for a fun dynamic) . And I also think he’d let her, out of greed. Out of desire.

Toodles!

like i do think childe is traumatized but i also think most of it comes from being literally sent away at 14 to the military like some sort of misbehaving dog. yk
