This One Took Me A While To Draw But I Wanted A Good Represention Of Arlecchino

Kaeya who is the most two faced character in the game. Kaeya who has the aura of a great king but shuns it out of his unending love for the nation he’s supposed to betray. Kaeya who loves the people around him so deeply despite barely having any kind of close relationship with his own family. Kaeya whose seemingly over-the-top grandeur is actually a product of his royal heritage and a part of himself he can’t help but claim. Kaeya who wears Khaenri’ahn symbolism boldly whenever he finds he has the freedom to, right alongside his celestia- given vision. Kaeya who fights for the valor and freedom of Mondstadt with a forsaken nation’s long-lost ceremonial bladework. Kaeya who laughs in the traveler’s face at the idea of being associated with Khaenri’ah but keeps a record of the Alberich family’s motto right alongside his childhood objects with Diluc. Kaeya who yearns for his home Khaenri’ah, his forgotten nation, and at the same time yearns for a home in Mondstadt as well despite living there. Kaeya who has not once slept peacefully at night and wake up without guilt. Kaeya who will never truly be able to pick an outcome where he can save everyone he loves. Kaeya who was doomed from the start.

"why can't they just be friends" not in the homophobic way but in the "their platonic relationship in the source material is far more dynamic and complex than the sanitized personalities they gain as a result of shipping" way

Sigewinne taking care of child Wriothesley at Neuvillette's request and sending him regular updates on his growth via letter, including complaining that he doesn't eat his veggies drink his milkshakes is so funny but also is likely going to be pointedly ignored by large parts of the fandom.

every time i look at the mystery gang i have this like visceral feeling that someone is missing. but nobody ever is. who are they. what happened to them

Not to be mean, but with the exception of like 3 whole people, Genshin stans and lore theorists have gotten so lazy. And then get mad cuz others don't agree with them.

Samsaras are revealed.

Anything that happened since then must be a samsara:

We're stuck in a samsara!

This whole thing must be a samsara!

Are those people trapped in a samsara?

Maybe the whole country is in a samsara of their destruction!

That sounds like a samsara!

Forbidden Knowledge is revealed.

Anything that causes discoloration or a change to your ability to view/hear the events MUST BE Forbidden Knowledge. It can't possibly be anything else:

The screen glitched! Forbidden Knowledge!

The screen darkened! Forbidden Knowledge!

The screen turned black and white! Forbidden Knowledge!

Character's voice becomes static and glitches out. Forbidden Knowledge!

There are so many themes in this damn game and I'm sick of seeing people just constantly falling back on samsara and forbidden knowledge.

I'll be adding the other heroes as I go, but let me have this ship just for one moment
