sooo sort of a masterpost of info about Wriothesley.

about his character:

hes basically incorruptible, is said to be "low profile and dependable"

‌mostly just cares about the peace and tranquility of the inmates (he's a protector at heart!!)

treats everyone equally and generally prefers to be "reasonable" rather than use more forceful methods

‌doesn't really like cruelty and violence but if the need comes, he will use it

‌he thinks of himself as "neither a good person or a villain, just another soul still living on in this world"

‌hes basically just interested in every bit of knowledge any person shares and in their unique talents

he says that he himself doesn't have many abilities, but he "knows how to find people who do and get them to work for him"

his past:

‌wanted to be convicted and spilled everything about how he killed his adopted parents (cough cough child traffickers), even though some wanted to treat him with leniency

‌learned to lockpick and create small gadgets as a child

gained Coupons in the arena of the Fortress (while injuring himself considerably)

‌when he got his vision after going to prison he just. hid it between the fabric of his clothes so that no one would know and/or steal it. and then he kinda just hid it some more, for years, until he went to the Palais to receive his title.

‌how he actually became the Administrator:

accumulated a fuckton of Coupons

got everyone's respect by being so rich, "observant, persuasive, humble and reasonable"

got his account emptied in retribution by the former administrator

‌convinced other ppl to protest and challenged the previous administrator to a duel

the former administrator run away from the fight, leaving Wriothesley on the last day of his sentence without anyone to sign his exit papers

‌"so he walked into the office and took over all relevant duties"

about his role as a Fortress Administrator:

‌has a private information network and many connections

‌rejected having a ceremony for his title of the Duke. no spotlight for good old duke.

‌basically his management style just helps the Fortress make money (with one of its main clients being the Palais); he even jokes that his title was basically bought because he's a leading tax contributor

‌after dealing with the Fatui spies he went for a swim. near primordial water. and he didn't say shit after realizing that the prophecy may be coming to pass, he just started preparing his funky ship.

relationships with others:

‌Clorinde actually admits that no one really knows all of the methods he uses to keep the Fortress up and running; it is stated that "very few people know him in his entirety"

he seems to think of Neuvillette as some sort of a. higher power that cannot show concern (BUT HE DOES OH HE DOES)

‌he indeed held out the umbrella for Neuvillette in the rain. the Iudex was polite, but distressed.

‌gifts a lot of tea to Furina.

‌got Neuvillettes trust (i think what he implies is that he got it by his actions, not words?) and the Iudex "fought hard for the title and reputation he now has"

‌when he went to prison Neuvillette told Sigewinne to take care of him and they frequently exchanged letters about his progress (and Wriothesley called her Neuvillettes spy…)

info that i find especially funky:

he's a big softie when it comes to animals and kids

‌may or may not go outside the Fortress incognito to buy snacks sometimes. he's actually too incognito to know really

‌doesnt treat boxing like a hobby, "more like a necessity"

‌melusines put stickers on him and he rarely notices them do so. they are just too good. and besides, it doesn't bother him. they also have bets on who will pit more stickers on him.

‌he would like to have a happy childhood and maybe the ability to trust people (i am BAWLING)

‌might be "a bit taller than Neuvillette"

drinks coffee with milk and tea with two cubes of sugar

‌he thinks Sigewinnes milkshakes taste of desolation

Sigewinne spiked his tea with anaesthetics when he was younger because he always refused them out of fear that they would fog his brain

Calling out to all inmates willing to help!!

The annual Halloween party at Fortress Meropide is coming soon! His Grace is extremely busy with preparations, how will he even find the time to prepare a costume for himself or his loved ones?!

Help the Duke! Give him Halloween costume ideas!!

come up with an idea for a costume for Wriothesley, Neuvillette, Sigewinne - any one of them, two of them, or all three

describe your idea to me and I'll draw it! Or, well, I will try!

please keep in mind that if it's too weird and/or I can't understand what you're talking about, I may be unable to draw it 🙏

my asks are open (anon as well, if you're shy), or you can leave a comment under this post

it's ok to reblog for the people in the back, make sure that everyone at the Fortress knows! All hands on board!

(just look at his puppy face, you know you want to help him; also you may even earn yourself some Credit Coupons if he really likes it)

too much to drink so his big brother is taking him home

you're right and you should say it.

Going into 4.1 hoping I will finally be even remotely interested in Wrio.lette bc I cannot look for Neuvillette fanart without being bombarded w/ their ship art and then coming out of 4.1 with a soft spot for both Focallette and Wriorinde instead bc all Wrio.lette interactions were dreadfully boring and they had negative chemistry is... very funny actually.

Wrio's SQ is the last option Hoyoverse has to endear me to them but considering the dialogue count leaks that seems... uh... unlikely bc Neuvillette literally does not have a single line of dialogue in Wrio's SQ.

I like Wriothesley and I like Neuvillette but I may have to add the ship name to my blacklist just to scroll through their respective tags in peace lol

Worst fucking yaoi bait in Genshin history
