tell me, since I don't normally draw these; one of these is significantly well loved wow lmao

Angsty 💧🔶️ In which Zhongli, a god who never used to sleep the way Mortals sleep, ends up sleeping more and more. Childe notices because he makes breakfast for them both. Zhongli keeps waking up progressively later in the mornings until he misses the meal completely.

Childe- Tries waking him, but Zhongli can't be roused. Tiny golden cracks start to appear on Zhongli's body, starting at his fingertips.

Childe notices the way they feel cold against his, like cracks in stone, as they lace their fingers together.

One of the things I dislike about GENSHIN spoilers waaaay more than TV / Movie spoilers (though those are bad too) is that a lot of these updates require numerous hours of extremely engaged play and reading unless you're speedrunning and not reading.

I can passively watch - A TV show episode or Movie in less than 2 hours while eating dinner or even working out (lmao).

Love that we get these for the artifact cards hehe 💗
No Archons in the character cards, but I'm loving the designs for the artifact cards which is interesting bc Heart of Depth card's hair is shaped so closely to Childe's style... 🤔 It's just interesting since the lore in that set is not really Childe, but the set was also pretty much tailored for him pretty early on, no?

And Archaic Petra is much more directly related to Zhongli, so the choice there is quite obvious.
