@hayokine@ricemancer And that's exactly why so many kids in Childe's family combined with their house come across as... dysfunctional, to a certain degree
@hayokine@ricemancer But Snezhnaya is based more on Russia than on Poland (though, of course, not entirely on Russia). And Childe's house looks more poor than rich โ not even because his family specifically is poor, but because everyone in that village is poor. >
I've been thinking (and writing a little) for a week now about an idea for a crack fic based on the tartali reunion, but with fem!Zhongli: Zhongli arrives in Snezhnaya for the contract with the Tsaritsa, but for some reason (probably better cover) takes on a female body.
@straw_cold@ricemancer Maybe... but the yard isn't really telling on its own, there could be a small house on the property and a large plot of land. Could be for a vegetable garden, if Snezhnaya has fruit and veg that can grow in the snow.
@hayokine@ricemancer No, that's a basic "russian izba." Which, btw, is one of the cheapest types of houses to build. If the building in the back isn't part of the main house, then popping out seven kids in a shack like that is just insane.
@ricemancer Actually abortion does exist as a concept in Teyvat. In one of the Fontaine events, there was a mention of a man asking his mistress to get rid of the child. And overall, no one else besides Childe's family stands out for having that many kids, so I don't think that's it.
Maybe just like how in Natlan an Archon is determined through competition, in Snezhnaya an Archon is whoever's popped out the most kids. Otherwise I honestly don't get why Ajax's mother would keep having so many.

The final part and the end of the story (yay, I managed to finish it before Snezhnaya, while canon hasn't smashed all my headcanons yet)
