yan!childe holds a vibrator to your clit until you’re nearly crying, but through the choked sobs, you can’t get the words out to beg him to stop so he just keeps going and tells you how pretty you look and how much you must be enjoying it
Welcome to a series of my Yan!Genshin headcanons using the Yandere MBTI indicator conceptualized by the lovely @ddarker-dreams! It's redheaded bastard hours.

CRUEL VS. REVERENT
What drives Childe's cruelty is the rush of ecstasy he feels when presented with a challenge, and darling is an endless battery of highs. From gathering information about her, to working up scenarios to be in her presence, to slowly earning her trust- coming to own her had been electrifying in every sense of the word.
But physical ownership is child's play.
Mind, body, soul. That's what it will take to sate the eleventh harbinger's lust for dominion.
Childe will do anything to push darling closer and closer to breaking completely. He isn't even above dangling his Foul Legacy over her head just to torment her into submission.
His goal is to keep her on her toes. In one moment he's dressing darling in beautiful clothing, gently kissing her skin, waxing poetic about their love, though he himself isn't convinced he can call it that.
The next he's squeezing her so hard by the wrist it nearly snaps, threatening to let Dottore have his way with her, using his delusion to mark her skin as a reminder of her transgressions.
Childe's dream is a darling that lives only for him. That beams even as his hands are wrapped around her neck. Then, only then, will he have succeeded.
AWARE VS. DELUSIONAL
Though he carries a delusion, Childe is anything but delusional. He knows exactly the role he plays in this game, and delights that darling has no idea of hers. He will call what he has for darling "love" in name only. What he loves is the chase, the destruction, the utter dominion over another human being.
However, if darling is to truly become his Childe might begin to tread the line between aware and delusional. There are rare moments when darling cries out Childe's real name in an attempt to subdue him, and every time it works. Something in his heart stirs, something long forgotten, and he feels himself gazing at the woman before him with something akin to real affection. Before long, he might actually come to love the monster he's created.
MANIPULATIVE VS. HONEST
Childe spends a great deal of time mastering all forms of weaponry, charisma among them. Even if darling herself doesn't necessarily buy into it, there's no denying the eleventh harbinger carries a certain charm. Despite the nature of the Fatui and rumors of Childe's seedy dealings, the women of Liuye can't help but fall at his feet and he's very aware of it.
Honesty has never even entered Childe's thought process. After all, what good would it do to tell his darling that he knows exactly why the body of her handsome coworker ended up strung about a hilichurl camp ten miles from the city gates? Ignorance is bliss, as they say.
Princess, sweetheart, milaya**. Sweet words serve to lull darling into a sense of complacency at Childe's ever-increasing presence. They serve as apologies for frightening her as she walks home alone, as distraction from the fact that the light of his smile never reaches his eyes. To her surprise, darling even begins to find the man endearing.
Even after darling is carefully swept away to Snezhnaya, Childe manages to worm his way under her skin. She can't help but feel a pang of guilt at the hurt her captor feigns when she beats against his chest in desperation.
Childe knows exactly when to punish, when to isolate, and when to shower darling with gifts and affection the moment she comes crawling back to him.
STRICT VS. LENIENT
Darling is well aware that Childe has eyes everywhere. Even if she were able to get as far as Inazuma she knows she'd be hauled back in no time at all.
Therefore, Childe has little care for what darling does during her days. Though he is keenly aware of where she goes and to whom she speaks. Every once in a while he uses these facts against her, accuses her of trying to leave or of loving another when he knows she's completely bewildered. It makes him giddy just to think about.
Though he often takes darling with him on business, especially when he really wants to cement her homesickness for Liuye, one of Childe's favorite things to do is leave her in the hands of the other harbingers for a few weeks so she can get a sense of how lucky she is to be his.

having yan childe thoughts…..something something he keeps you inside because it’s the only way to keep you safe and would feed you out of the palm of his hand even though he knows you’ll slap it away
oh also thinking about yan!childe who is sooooo in love with you it makes his shoulders ache and his stomach hurt … he definitely is driven by the idea of “i love you so much that’s why i have to keep you here” … he’ll do anything because he believes he’s your happiness and you just have to accept it
