COMES BACK FINALLY okay where was I

OH YEAH WEEK 5. Or rather weekend 5. childe got his revival ability from lust on tuesday! she'd repeatedly asked him before if he was sure mahito wasn't going to betray him and asked him again at that point; he of course interpreted that as her asking if he thought mahito was going to try and kill him, so his answer was "I'm sure he will eventually but I don't think he's bored of me just yet so I'll be fine." lust was basically like "actually I am not confident you will be fine" and gave him the revival ability; she also warned him that saturday might be an issue, so he was like "oh maybe mahito's planning to doxx me?" and kind of made a mental note to prepare for that but otherwise didn't think about it too hard bc he didn't want to get too far ahead of himself.

Then he woke up on Friday to find out Mahito was FUCKING DEAD and he was like "oh fuck" because that automatically took out one of the guilty murderers, which upped his chances of getting caught! and THEN gu yun immediately asked him for a spar, which was partially suspicious bc that's how he'd covered up injuries post-murder before. but he didn't know how much gy cared about aoi or lenore so there was a chance he was just pissed about that. except then gy doxxed himself and childe was like "oh I'm FUCKED fucked, no wonder lust gave me that power". He was immediately certain that gy was lying about it being self-defense, because it didn't make any logical sense otherwise--he and mahito had been planning for weeks to target noncombatants bc they wanted to minimize injuries and not get caught + pride told them that the limit for killing was 1 person each + childe knew mahito was close(??? fucking curses) to/had planned to accomplice with ming yi and didn't think ming yi would approve of gy getting targeted bc fake china group? + mahito knew childe was familiar with gy and would have been able to give him info on the sort of fighter he was; basically even if mahito had decided to throw their plan away and target two people including a fighter, there was no reason he wouldn't have told childe first. on top of that, gy used his knife to do it knowing molly (with his useful item) would deflect away from gy however he could--though for that one he was kind of like "well okay that's kind of on me for assuming you'd actually only use it for self-defense" GOD. but on top of suddenly being at a huge risk for losing his own life, he was very irritated that gy lied to him instead of just saying "yeah I targeted mahito"; if he'd been honest about that, there's a good chance childe wouldn't have doxxed gy to anyone tbh, not even endorsi and medb. but he couldn't call gy out on it without revealing why he was so sure about it so he was just like "goddammit" lmfkjgh

though hilariously he did believe that mahito stole gy's glass bc that sounded like something he'd do LMFSKDJGH touches the ground. he really would've believed gy any other week BUT ALAS, he was too involved to buy the whole story week 5.

ANYWAY childe was pissed at him for lying so he tried to save himself and retaliate at the same time--he tipped off endorsi and medb (who both knew to varying degrees that he'd killed) but he was very aware that there probably wasn't much they'd be able to do to save him. they couldn't point fingers without drawing attention to themselves, which they weren't likely to do, and even if they did find a way to accuse gy openly, he had a claim of self-defense on his side, which was something childe couldn't use bc of molly's item. so it was kind of a case of "well I'm fucked but that doesn't mean I can't drag you down with me PBBBBT". at that point he didn't know for sure if the revival power would work during the execution, so he didn't have anything left to lose; it was like I mentioned to you before, either he'd be alive long enough to do damage control if he felt like it OR he'd be dead and gu yun got to have a big ol' headache trying to figure out and deal with what childe might've done to fuck him over before he died. either way, he didn't want to go down easily.

after he revived and healed up, he did briefly consider tapping up endorsi or medb or ming yi to take gu yun out, partly in retaliation and partly just because he loves kicking up chaos--but he only thought about it for a little bit before he decided it was pointless. it wouldn't serve to get him, personally, any kind of points or rewards, which was why he'd killed in the first place + he didn't dislike gu yun at all, especially since he got over his (unamused)ness at being lied to once gy was like YOU WERE WORKING WITH MAHITO YOU ASS and made it obvious he knew childe knew he'd been bullshitting lmf + he just isn't really an emotional/revenge kill type of guy. at that point he knew for sure that the longest he'd live was sunday, so all he really wanted was to get as much info as possible on plot stuff before he died, esp bc somewhere around then was when they revealed about getting messages from the dead and stuff. so he was genuinely happy to just sort of "/handshake, good game" and move on and continue working as plot info partners. he was fine with passing his scroll over to gy bc he knew gy would make good use of the info. he also knew that gy would take good care of his things, so he didn't mind giving him his weapons and he specifically asked mineo to give gy his chopsticks--he was honestly more worried that mineo would just destroy them instead of passing them on bc he really didn't think gy would fuck with his valuables lmf.

it was kind of like, after w5 execution and their talk, they'd made it back to a level of trust they had in the beginning--and then beyond that, actually, because they were much more open about the sorts of people they REALLY were. as far as childe knew, even with his soft squishy heart, gy was willing to lie and kill to achieve his goals (since he didn't know about the medicine and never really had a solid grasp on just how blind/deaf gy was and how it affected him), and childe was free to be as openly ruthless as he wanted. he didn't think gy was going to be the one to come kill him on thursday, and he told douman in the graveyard that gy lost the privilege of being on his "I would be fine if you killed me" list, but honestly if gy had shown up that night I don't think he really would've minded.

he still thought gy was an idiot for getting attached to people and an extra big idiot for getting attached to wrath though. rip. (he also thought he himself was an idiot for getting attached to iris and kind of royce so it's fine, we're all clowns here)

ANYWAY YEAH. I don't have a ton to say about endgame bc they were off doing separate things, and they reunited at the end to chat a little and not talk at all about their emotions because that is not the relationship they have. ZERO CHANCE OF EMOTIONAL VULNERABILITY, BABY!!! but he left on the same positive....???? vibe that they had for most of the game. he wouldn't mind meeting up with gy again for drinks or sparring or whatever, anytime!! idk if he'd reach out first bc he knows they both have their own shit to deal with but honestly I think for him it's the sort of relationship where it's like. 3 months could pass with nothing and he could text out of nowhere like "look at this ugly vase lol" and they'd just pick up where they left off, y'know. they're both warriors and used to being away from people for a very long time so I don't think long stretches of silence would bother either of them.

FRIEND (DEROGATORY)
