FYI: Sometimes I see in fic people have characters refer to fathers as 爸爸 baba - that is a modern development - if it’s #CQL / #theuntamed / #mdzs / #modaozushi period era it’s 爹 die or 父亲 fu qin

If they’re little kids it can be 爹爹 die die or A-die and 爹/父亲 die/fu qin more for adults. Fu qin is also a bit more formal than die
Eg. LXC refers to their father as 父亲fu qin to LWJ. JZX refers to JGS as 爹 die but JGY uses fu qin. Child JC is seen with JFM who refers to himself as A-Die. At dinner YZY snaps and says “Ask your father (die).”
So in LSZ kid fics: probably formal in company, die in private.

same goes for 妈妈mama. It’s usually Niang, A-Niang, etc. Formal: 母亲 muqin
