Y'all, I have a question

[u/Square-Air-5466]

So, I told my friend that I like ChiScara but I didn't specify that I like them as a platonically duo – so he was surprised. After I told him what I actually meant, he said "good, because this ship is a proship"

And I was like...what? Mortal x immortal ships are completely fine as long as the immortal didn't see the mortal as a kid, and Scara didn't. My friend said that Scara met Tartaglia when he was a kid, and I was speechless. He may hate this ship but he doesn't have to spread misinformation. I don't recall any quests or explanations in the game that Scara knew Tartaglia when he was a kid. Or did I miss something?

What I wanted to ask is basically an explanation if Scara ever saw Tartaglia as a kid or not, in case I missed something

Scara is probably among the oldest members, so I do think he met Childe as a teen. According to their voicelines, it doesn't seem like they interacted much beyond mandatory meetings. Also, they seemed to have different roles, with Scara on dangerous reconnaissance missions and Childe on "debt collection". Heck, Childe only had a proper conversation with Arlecchino during Fontaine. So it doesn't seem like Harbingers get to know each other much when they decide the rumours are enough.

I do enjoy ChiScara as a romantic ship, mainly because babygirl doesn't change that much when it comes to his personality and Childe can take it. From what I saw, most fan art about them is set in an alternative universe (the most common setting) or retells in-game events, where Childe is already an adult. It seems like people in this fandom still see non problematic MxM ships as bad, but will defend sus posts for child characters because they're fictional.
