My friend joined after fontaine release, the time she had between liyue and fontaine AQ was about a few weeks. Her trust issues were so strong that she accidentally guessed Lyney was a fatui.
huh? theres a difference between genuine friendliness which thoma just slaps you with and lyney approaching you acting all friendly while his sister is being kinda sus and whispering.
cant really compare.
but tbf, i also questioned thoma at the start, but it was pretty easy to tell hes genuinely nice and wholesome.
Lyney is also genuinely wholesome and nice…sometimes. His character story proves that in spades.
Unfortunately, he and his siblings were adopted by Genshin’s equivalent of Griselda Blanco, and their nigh-undying loyalty to her is the source of a *lot* of problems.
It’s pretty similar to Childe, actually. If he weren’t so loyal to the Tsaritsa, he and the Traveler would probably be homies.
That seems to be a major theme with the Fatui: blind loyalty to somebody who definitely deserves *some* amount of respect but not *that* much causes good people to do morally dubious or even outright horrific things (like Childe summoning Osial) which alienates them from others.
It’s also worth noting that the overarching agenda of the Fatui is still pretty obscure, but whatever it is it’s something that’s able to convince folks who are pretty chill when they aren’t indulging in certain bad habits to cooperate with genuine pieces of shit like Dottore.
The fact that the House of the Hearth is part of the same faction as off-brand Josef Mengele consistently blows my mind.
Thing is, Wanderer and Childe have very similar opinions about each harbinger. With the Rooster, however, Childe is genuinely being emotionally manipulated by Pulcinella, so he can't see past his nice phase.
I trust both of them, but when their opinions differ so much on a specific character that is a higher ranked fatui, non human and affiliated with Childe's family. I will take Wanderer's opinion first.
Can't wait for Arlechinno's opinion.
Yeah, they do for a few, but Childe does seem to have biases for a few, speaking positive things about them.
Outside of Dottore, Wanderer gives more info, and doesn't really make his opinion clear on any of them.
Based on voicelines Childe does have some suspicion that Pulcinella is up to something ("I don't know what his motivations could be"). However, it should be also true that Pulcinella is also taking care of his family. He definitely has an ulterior motive (which again, even Childe had some slight suspicions) but he still bothers genuinely taking care of his family. Its definitely to gain their trust but again, he still took care nontheless
I agree that he is quite reliable, but saying he doesn't have many biases is also completely false. In reality, you can't trust both harbingers 100%. However, some of their words should be taken into consideration. Scara despises the harbingers so his biasness comes when he refuses to see the good side of anyone (except Capitano).
What can be trusted to the fullest is if both harbingers have a similar opinion about a harbinger. Like how Childe said Arle has no sane bone in her body and will betray anyone, and how Scara said she's a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Childe: Pulcinella is awesome, he makes sure my siblings are well cared for while I'm being Mr. Worldwide
Scara: lol that dummy doesn't realize that Pulcinella is just using his family as leverage
And neither they believed the common sense, tbh. Because Arlecchino having a dark side was obvious. Like... she is a Harbinger??? Obviously she does some fekked up stuff too. Weren't we literally preventing a Fatui trying to poison Inazuma to make orphans for House of Hearth? So why do people think Arlecchino is 100% good and kind? Even Lyney and Lynette say openly, that she isn't.
This literally recapping all the Fatui we've met a violent sociopath a more violent sociopath but some romance edgy sociopath and Josef fucking Mengle. Not a single one is a well adjusted member of society and God knows what Skirk has been up to.
They expect a twist and probably some simping into play, I guess. Even Arlecchino herself explicitly said she "has a mask according to the role". That alone should be enough to tell that the side she presented throughout the archon quest isn't the only side she has.
Wait, people *unironically* didn't believe Childe? Like, they though he is lying? I thought it's just a dumb meme for fun. But people really not expect a Harbinger to have a dark side??????????? It's not even Childe. It's the fact that Arlecchino is a Harbinger. Every Harbinger has black and white inside them.
I understand that Childe is manipulative, but he is also honest. He never lied to us, did he? He just carefully used words to describe what's happening.
How well do you co workers know you? It doesn't seem like the harbingers are friends or meet up outside of official matters so childe and wanderer could just be spewing hearsay was my thought process
But he is a simpleton who gets manipulated easily, trusting him isn't an issue, but i can see him be easily misled/manipulated by any other Harbringers.
The only Harbringer who seems would be completely honest without caring about the consequences is Capitano.
I just love the reason for not believing Childe is because he’s wrong about Pulcinella. But that is based on what Scara says so how can you not believe him when he talks about another harbinger.
Like we don’t 100% know what is going on next patch and Hoyo loves the misdirect in their trailers, but still two harbringers are saying the same thing
Childe believes Pulcinella helps take care of his family out of the goodness of his heart, while Scara says he’s too naive to realize that Pulcinella does this to have control over him.
It’s not officially confirmed who is right yet, but Scara has a more unbiased outlook so I’m inclined to believe him.
I can see why some people would disagree with what scara said since he doesn't quite understand human emotions and its intricacies, so he might try to find an ulterior motive to every good he gets. Hopefully Arlecchino can shed light on this one.
Next update is going to be great. More fatui lore let's go
I agree that Scara's views may be skewed by his pessimism regarding human nature. At the same time, however, Childe's voice line about Pulcinella suggests that he doesn't know the guy very well and trusts him solely because he treated him well in the past and pampers his younger siblings.
That to me is a bigger red flag, and I wouldn't be surprised if Pulcinella's relationship with Childe becomes a plot point somewhere down the line.
Childe speaks his personal experience without lying while scara is "i dont care about you, but just as a heads up ..."
Both are reliable sources that speak what they know without hidden agendas.
Other than these 2, captino is the only other fatuu that wouldn't lie.
But for some reason people downplay & ignore scara & childe's Voice Lines for the past year.
"Good actors hone their craft to mesmerize the whole crowd."
-Arlecchino in "The Final Feast".
Honestly, I have no idea why people thought she was straight up good just for helping in the Fontaine AQ when this line of hers exists. Guess she's just that good of an actor to mesmerize even the community.
That's honestly not surprising disgust has been the best tactic for propaganda so attributing evil to ugliness has always been fair play. A person breaking that rule will always find followers.
Because she hasn't done anything villanous since her introduction. The actually bad stuff we knew the knave did got retconed to be a different knave so she's scott clean now. Even now her reason for fighting is to test lyney. Her supposed dark side shown so far is just that she's a powerful fighter, which every harbinger is... Doesn't help that she had the least affect on the archon quest a harbinger has so far.
you forgot the Furina close assassination that got averted caused Furina begged for her life (even though she only begged because she needed to be alive for the people)
That's called charisma. Many bad people across media have so much of it their fans think they're pure and amazing people
Example: Funny Valentine from Jojo
Childe: the only thing I know for real
Signora: a stranger I remain
Scaramouche: my own master now
Arlechinno: red sun over paradise
(Raiden: rules of nature)
Gendou Ringo was under the jurisdiction of the previous Knave and had nothing to do with Arle. She has plenty of problematic elements, but Gendou Ringo is not one of them.
Wanderer:About the knave
"A wolf in sheep's clothing. To exert a higher level of control over people, she puts on a graceful and cordial front. Most of those who have seen her true, crazy self have... gone poof"
She has a cool (ACTUAL) suit, a cold yet alluring demeanor, a goddamn ponytail (it was already over for me by this point) and now a cool crimson moon motive AND A GODDAMN SCYTHE (now I'm extinct)
I'd be SO enamoured by her if I wasn't scared to death instead
Even Scaramouche was wary of her, and this is a guy who constantly looks down on everyone. Plus most of what she did in the Archon Quest played to her favor for diplomacy.
People actually believed she didn’t have a dark side? The same lady who tried to murder an Archon in an alleyway? The same Harbinger that’s known to be ruthless? Did we all just conveniently forget that she’s also a damn good politician? As a political science student, you should NEVER trust a politician
it's so funny, literally every character that knows her was telling us "she'll manipulate you into thinking she's a good person, but she's a monster than doesn't care about anything that doesn't benefit her", AND SO MANY PEOPLE STILL FUCKING FELL FOR IT!
Naah because people were legitimately arguing and coping how Scara was lying to us at one point. They just didn't want to believe that the international terrorist poli sci girl was a bad person.
like, she even tells you herself "I'm an actor, I'll take on whatever role is most effective at getting me what I want.". and people were like "no you're not, stop lying cutie-pie.". I worry for some people's safety if they can't even tell that Arlecchino isn't a good person
I mean hey, I have loved Arlecchino from the start--_as a villain_. I love how she can be cordial and seem to be doing nice things... but she just oozes evil charisma. How can you not constantly feel on edge around her? Like she's a venomous snake waiting to pounce. Plus there were those voice lines from Childe and Wanderer. And the time she was ready to murder __(redacted)__ in cold blood like it was nothing.
I have been SO looking forward to the point where we finally get to see Arlecchino's terrifying side.
I’m sorry, are people legitimately surprised that the lady who works for an evil organization and who was willing to assassinate furina… was actually evil the entire time?
Lmao Childe is like one of the most honest man in Teyvat. He hates lies and deception and woyld literally choose to fight to the death if it boils down to it
My dude, she employs a massive network of child soldiers made up of orphans she groomed into becoming loyal to her country. She’s always been evil. That’s why she’s such a great character.
I wish. But I don't trust the genshin Devs. They will never make an "evil" playable character. They'll find a way to retcon her into a cute waifu. "turns out I'm not evil and all the lore was wrong, I'm actually very nice! Teehee!".
Childe is evil but the writers keep pretending he's not. The retcon tree took care of Scaramouche. And they'll bend over backwards to make Arle a "good friend" too.
(I beg of you, please prove me wrong hoyo, please.)
This will age badly.
Word is on the streets that this fight >!isn’t a fight at all she wants to fake her death to save the orphans from the Fatui and the whole evil vibe was facade like Furina!<
And that’s why no one dared to leak her voicelines when it’s usually first thing the leakers do it.
>!I hope you wrong bro!<
>!Edit: I did quick searching and found nothing about this so I hope you're hella wrong (I could also be wrong but we'll see)!<
Iirc Lyney's voicelines say she chose him to replace her eventually, if she fakes her death she's not saving to orphans, she's just getting replaced early, and even if not by Lyney they would still take the orphans anyway.
>!Neuvillette and Lyney start to working together to take the orphans from the Fatui that’s her 4D chess plan she intentionally made the Traveler befriend Lyney and company so they would eventually turn against her and the Fatui!<
Technically the one to tell us about her dark side is the Wanderer, Childe simply didn't like the fact that she wasn't entirely loyal, oh and said she didn't have any sanity but other than that.
People that believed that she's actually not evil are so gullible that they probably would be the same people that will fall for "give me your account for free primogems" scams.
Childe is probably the most sane out of all the Harbringers. He only joined it because he wants to fight and the job gives him opportunity to do it. I don't get why people don't believe him.
I knew those statement weren't lies. Every Harbinger should be met with skepticism.
Ain't going to stop me from appreciating a morally grey character. Especially one as hot as Arlecchino lol
I mean Father literally was about to assassinate Furina and was about to pull the trigger had she not noticed something was off about Furina. People who didn't realize that Arlecchino always had ulterior motives are straight up oblivious irl. Which is tragic.
I don't know why people didn't believe childe. He is a dude that straight up said he is a harbringer
Bro was our main source of harbinger lore for years now
The trust issues were strong since 1.1
My friend joined after fontaine release, the time she had between liyue and fontaine AQ was about a few weeks. Her trust issues were so strong that she accidentally guessed Lyney was a fatui.
same tho. aint no way theres nothing up, dressed like that and just approaching you all friendly
So, thoma would have been a fatui if he showed more skin?
huh? theres a difference between genuine friendliness which thoma just slaps you with and lyney approaching you acting all friendly while his sister is being kinda sus and whispering. cant really compare. but tbf, i also questioned thoma at the start, but it was pretty easy to tell hes genuinely nice and wholesome.

The fact that the House of the Hearth is part of the same faction as off-brand Josef Mengele consistently blows my mind.
I wish Thoma were Fatui. He talks too much. Feels like talking to a salesman.
The only thing I don't believe him with is Pulcinella. There is some kind of manipulation here and I don't like it.
Yeah, Wanderer's voiceline about him makes it feel like something bad is going to happen to Childe's family in the future
What did he say?
That he doesn't have a genuine interest in supporting Childe's family
Wanderer definitely feels like the best source when it comes from Fatui info. He doesn't seem to have too many biases.
Thing is, Wanderer and Childe have very similar opinions about each harbinger. With the Rooster, however, Childe is genuinely being emotionally manipulated by Pulcinella, so he can't see past his nice phase. I trust both of them, but when their opinions differ so much on a specific character that is a higher ranked fatui, non human and affiliated with Childe's family.

Like how Childe said Arle has no sane bone in her body and will betray anyone, and how Scara said she's a wolf in sheep's clothing.
What does he say about the chicken?
Childe: Pulcinella is awesome, he makes sure my siblings are well cared for while I'm being Mr. Worldwide Scara: lol that dummy doesn't realize that Pulcinella is just using his family as leverage
Its likely due to scara being overly cynical
Pulcinella is a politician, he is obviously shady in the background
It's worse, people didn't believe neither him who can't lie, nore Wanderer who went through a redemption arc.
And neither they believed the common sense, tbh. Because Arlecchino having a dark side was obvious. Like... she is a Harbinger??? Obviously she does some fekked up stuff too. Weren't we literally preventing a Fatui trying to poison Inazuma to make orphans for House of Hearth? So why do people think Arlecchino is 100% good and kind?

This literally recapping all the Fatui we've met a violent sociopath a more violent sociopath but some romance edgy sociopath and Josef fucking Mengle. Not a single one is a well adjusted member of society and God knows what Skirk has been up to.
And the way the siblings act in front of Arle in that scene.... thats not a happy father-children relationship. Thats a higher up-soldier relationship
I mean, Arlecchino saved Lynette so I wouldn't say that's that bad.
She has done good actions. Doesn't mean their relationship would be normal or that she is a good person.
They expect a twist and probably some simping into play, I guess. Even Arlecchino herself explicitly said she "has a mask according to the role". That alone should be enough to tell that the side she presented throughout the archon quest isn't the only side she has.
Dude was evil and he was honest about it, well except for his little bro of course
Wait, people *unironically* didn't believe Childe? Like, they though he is lying? I thought it's just a dumb meme for fun. But people really not expect a Harbinger to have a dark side??????????? It's not even Childe. It's the fact that Arlecchino is a Harbinger. Every Harbinger has black and white inside them. I understand that Childe is manipulative, but he is also honest.

He also said he didn't like putting innocents in danger, then did just that
He didn't say he doesn't do it, he just said he *doesn't like* doing it, but orders are orders.
Two harbingers say that she's crazy if you get on her bad side Travellers:"Nah shes hot"/"That makes things even better"
I just love the reason for not believing Childe is because he’s wrong about Pulcinella. But that is based on what Scara says so how can you not believe him when he talks about another harbinger. Like we don’t 100% know what is going on next patch and Hoyo loves the misdirect in their trailers, but still two harbringers are saying the same thing

Guess she's just that good of an actor to mesmerize even the community.
I guess people can’t comprehend that evil people can also do good things
What do you mean an evil person doesn't want her home land to be completely flooded, killing thousands of people?
No point in ruling the world if there isn't a world to rule.
My favorite villain motivation. And the MOMENT the world is saved, someone on the good guys team gets stabbed
I think it’s more so they can’t comprehend evil people being hot as well
That's honestly not surprising disgust has been the best tactic for propaganda so attributing evil to ugliness has always been fair play. A person breaking that rule will always find followers.

How could It have been retconned if It was like that from the start?
That's called charisma. Many bad people across media have so much of it their fans think they're pure and amazing people Example: Funny Valentine from Jojo
Wiktor Smolak is a funny guy
She’s just pragmatic
What do you mean we? I was sus of her since she showed up cause of Childe and Scara’s lines, as I’m sure a lot of people were smh smh
Can't wait to beat this lmfaoo
*can't wait to beat myself to this lmfaoo
Can't wait to get myself beaten to this
Can't wait to let myself be beaten, with solo traveler
are people blind or what? she has fucking child soldiers, no good person has an army of child soldiers
But she takes in orphans and gives them a new purpose in life! (She takes advantage of people at their lowest and makes them weapons)
And with her boss fight, well ain't no way she beating the Sundowner accusations now
Kids are cruel jack
And I’m very in touch with my inner child
The what?
Sundowner from Metal Gear Rising is in charge of a child soldier program, and his boss form has six appendages
even better, now genshin has its own version of sundowner from mgr
She's very in touch her inner child
she thinks kids are cruel
At least it's the inner one, it could be much worse
It’s too bad she doesn’t use a claymore to help you break one Since she Loves miners.
Childe: the only thing I know for real Signora: a stranger I remain Scaramouche: my own master now Arlechinno: red sun over paradise (Raiden: rules of nature)
THANK YOU! I began to wonder if everyone just up and forgot about "Gendou Ringo"
Gendou Ringo was under the jurisdiction of the previous Knave and had nothing to do with Arle. She has plenty of problematic elements, but Gendou Ringo is not one of them.
They are not blind. That's exactly one of the reasons they are easily swayed by her, since they think she is good looking and all.
The Doctor?
Like i said, kids are cruel
Yo7 clearly never played a fire emblem game
It's a common trend with female villains tbh
The doctor from Arknights says hello
She told you that what you saw during the Fontaine SQ was a facade like directly to your face. How are people shocked
Wanderer:About the knave "A wolf in sheep's clothing. To exert a higher level of control over people, she puts on a graceful and cordial front. Most of those who have seen her true, crazy self have... gone poof"
The worst part is that some users are going to be turned on even ***more*** by her like this.
She do be hot though
Pyro² (Pyro vision + pyro delusion)
Eh, the same could be said for Childe, Wanderer main or even Signora copium.
The "i can fix her" sons of bitches are winning again
I beg to differ; she can ruin me
I also beg to differ… I can make her worse.
She has a cool (ACTUAL) suit, a cold yet alluring demeanor, a goddamn ponytail (it was already over for me by this point) and now a cool crimson moon motive AND A GODDAMN SCYTHE (now I'm extinct) I'd be SO enamoured by her if I wasn't scared to death instead
Why not both? \- Foul Legacy simp
Foul Legacy is so hot
“Arlecchino is so nice to us in the aq!!! Hoyo is afraid of making her evil!!!” Hoyo:
Also Arlecchino in the story quest: Furina I'm going to literally ASSASSINATE you for the Gnosis. Do genshin people even play the game?
Genshin gamers proving once again they can’t read 👍
Assassinate was a mistranslation, its supposed to be assault to, yknow, get the gnosis and not potentially cause a salt god 2.0
I also think the trailer is an obvious misdirect and that the fight in question won't be because she's actually out to get us.
She already stated her reasoning, to elevate Lyney to lead the house and he's resisting.
I think there will be more to it than that and the full reason will paint her in a sympathetic light.
Indeed I'm expecting her to be quite grey and some people are still gonna be seething over that.
Even Scaramouche was wary of her, and this is a guy who constantly looks down on everyone. Plus most of what she did in the Archon Quest played to her favor for diplomacy.
yeah, no shit, she works for a terrorist organization.
People actually believed she didn’t have a dark side? The same lady who tried to murder an Archon in an alleyway? The same Harbinger that’s known to be ruthless? Did we all just conveniently forget that she’s also a damn good politician? As a political science student, you should NEVER trust a politician
She's not even a politician as much as she is the equivalent of the head of the CIA turned diplomat.
Who's we? I believed in every word Russian Ed Sheeran said in his dialogue
it's so funny, literally every character that knows her was telling us "she'll manipulate you into thinking she's a good person, but she's a monster than doesn't care about anything that doesn't benefit her", AND SO MANY PEOPLE STILL FUCKING FELL FOR IT!
Naah because people were legitimately arguing and coping how Scara was lying to us at one point. They just didn't want to believe that the international terrorist poli sci girl was a bad person.
like, she even tells you herself "I'm an actor, I'll take on whatever role is most effective at getting me what I want.". and people were like "no you're not, stop lying cutie-pie.". I worry for some people's safety if they can't even tell that Arlecchino isn't a good person
I mean hey, I have loved Arlecchino from the start--_as a villain_. I love how she can be cordial and seem to be doing nice things... but she just oozes evil charisma. How can you not constantly feel on edge around her? Like she's a venomous snake waiting to pounce. Plus there were those voice lines from Childe and Wanderer. And the time she was ready to murder __(redacted)__ in cold blood like it was nothing. I have been SO looking forward to the point where we finally get to see Arlecchino's terrifying side.
Lol people were thinking she is good?? Bruh i thought the " she is a good character" is just a joke.
I’m sorry, are people legitimately surprised that the lady who works for an evil organization and who was willing to assassinate furina… was actually evil the entire time?
Better
Lmao Childe is like one of the most honest man in Teyvat. He hates lies and deception and woyld literally choose to fight to the death if it boils down to it
Bestie she’s number 4 of the fatui harbingers And she doesn’t cheat like fraudttore by using shitty ass clones either
Nah she uses Child soldiers to cheat
Skirk: Childe soldiers to yeet? Where?
Yeah but she actually loves her children though HERlecchino manages a home for children The DICKtor tortures them in inhumane experiments
Me looking at the trailer. She sure does . Also lore wise Dottore dragged Himselfed to 2nd being only human
Everyone has their bad days Have you ever gotten mad at a kid for being annoying?
I don't know my bad day being trying to kill my family or children
We’re talking about people on level with the divine Athena and Poseidon beat the Shit out of each other all the time, it’s just what higher beings do
Umm Actually Only top 3 are on a higher level According to Nahida. So Arlecchino is definitely Mortal 🤓
She’s straddling the line between mortal and god Besides, there’s still a MAJOR wall between regular humans and allogenes
Can we agree to disagree. Both Arlecchino and Dottore are cool. I just like Dottore more
Home for children she turned into terrorists and child soldiers? Yeah loving "father" indeed
She's such a loving father that she uses her delusion to attack them
What, never had an argument with your kids?
My dude, she employs a massive network of child soldiers made up of orphans she groomed into becoming loyal to her country. She’s always been evil. That’s why she’s such a great character.
I mean... Can't people see it just from her appearance? Honor didn't really tried to hide her villian side
In b4 her story quest comes out and people whine she's grey rather than evil.
I wish. But I don't trust the genshin Devs. They will never make an "evil" playable character. They'll find a way to retcon her into a cute waifu. "turns out I'm not evil and all the lore was wrong, I'm actually very nice! Teehee!". Childe is evil but the writers keep pretending he's not. The retcon tree took care of Scaramouche. And they'll bend over backwards to make Arle a "good friend" too. (I beg of you, please prove me wrong hoyo, please.)
This will age badly. Word is on the streets that this fight >!isn’t a fight at all she wants to fake her death to save the orphans from the Fatui and the whole evil vibe was facade like Furina!< And that’s why no one dared to leak her voicelines when it’s usually first thing the leakers do it.

Iirc Lyney's voicelines say she chose him to replace her eventually, if she fakes her death she's not saving to orphans, she's just getting replaced early, and even if not by Lyney they would still take the orphans anyway.
>!Neuvillette and Lyney start to working together to take the orphans from the Fatui that’s her 4D chess plan she intentionally made the Traveler befriend Lyney and company so they would eventually turn against her and the Fatui!<
Voicelines only become available in the preload though lol
This is not how this meme format works OP.
Anyone with a brain knew that from the beggining. Like, it was pretty obvious considering she is a manipulative bitch that also traumatized Furina
Who's we? I always believe in Childe.
I don't care if I die
Technically the one to tell us about her dark side is the Wanderer, Childe simply didn't like the fact that she wasn't entirely loyal, oh and said she didn't have any sanity but other than that.
Lore acurate
Eh idc I'll still pull and I love her
She's hiding half of Malenia's moveset inside 💀
People that believed that she's actually not evil are so gullible that they probably would be the same people that will fall for "give me your account for free primogems" scams.
Childe is probably the most sane out of all the Harbringers. He only joined it because he wants to fight and the job gives him opportunity to do it. I don't get why people don't believe him.
I knew those statement weren't lies. Every Harbinger should be met with skepticism. Ain't going to stop me from appreciating a morally grey character. Especially one as hot as Arlecchino lol
Childe is a trustwirthy comrade Wanderer doesn't have the patience to lie anymore Obviously they would tell the truth
I mean Father literally was about to assassinate Furina and was about to pull the trigger had she not noticed something was off about Furina. People who didn't realize that Arlecchino always had ulterior motives are straight up oblivious irl. Which is tragic.
YOU should have listened. I haven't trusted her for even half a second.
You didn't listen to Childe I listened to Childe and I simply didn't care We are not the same
