No way he would have survived that long with his lifestyle.

#it's all the proof I need #honestly #have you seen him #boys like this don't survive past 30 #I get acute mono-no aware poisoning every time I look at him #childe #tartaglia #genshin impact #I still hc he's 19 at the time of liyue arc #he behaves like he's 19 #(my oddly specific headcanons) #and character stories put him somewhere in the 18-22 range #why are we even arguing #and we don't even need time fuckery for him to be declared guilty tbh #the whale 'left traces on him' as skirk says #and that could be enough for the oratrice to mistake him for the whale/willing accomplice #also #I don't know about you #but I prefer to see him as someone brilliant but very young #and not someone 34yo and incredibly stupid #(because if a person still behaves like that at 34 they are not smart)
