#and all his girlfriends are 10x cooler than him

[ajxrn-archive]

Obviously I know (some) of your thoughts on Childe, but what do you think of the other harbingers?

YIPEE I love the harbingers ‼️ I’ll rant under the cut.. I had a huge obsession with the harbingers a few months back and I still do (in fact my brainrot is coming back so this is a perfect time for you to ask this)

Starting off with Pierro. I find him so interesting as a character because when I was diving into the lore of the harbingers I originally thought that he was number one?? Apparently he’s the director because capitano is no. 1.. I think that’s interesting. So what mainly intrigues me about him is the fact that he’s khaenri’ahn. The Tsaritsa has got to be different from the other Archons because of the fact she literally has a Khaenri’ahn man help run her military. I wonder what their relationship is with each other. Is it anything like dainslumi? I can picture it being that way but more cold, you know? The fact he’s based off the commedia dell’arte stock character Pierro (the fool/jester) is really interesting to me too.. they all have their connections to the characters in one way or another so I wonder what exactly his is.

Now onto Capitano. So far I think he is SO fucking cool he might be one of my favorite harbingers atp. Design wise it’s definitely a favorite but also the fact that he has so many similarities to Kaeya? If hyv were to make him related in some way to kaeya that would be so funny to me.. a lot of people do the pierro is kaeya’s dad thing but honesty I think Capitano would be a cooler connection lowkey? Also generally the ragbros situation would be 10x worse if kaeya was related to the fatui in some way, no matter which one it is. Anyways back on capitano, I’m mostly interested to see how his motives lay out and what his relationship with Mavuika is. The fight seen with him and her was so neat like the way they laid it out was so.. idk. I have a thing for fire/ice character relationships (not in a romantic way.) also what interests me even more about him is that The Captain in the commedia dell’arte is described as a ‘braggart’ type of person, so I’m wondering if he would use his ability to “convince people who knew nothing about him beforehand” to try and manipulate people in Natlan to revolt against Mavuika for the current issues and whatnot.

like I wonder how this'll play into his character in game/story wise. I hope he'll be playable sniff sniff.. Anyways, now onto this fucker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dottore is one of my favorite harbingers. I am an avid Dottore enjoyer. He’s cunning and genuinely awful and there’s no redeeming his ass he’s going straight to hell 🙏 and that’s what makes him such a GOOD character. He genuinely has zero redeeming qualities about him. He literally uses people and children for his experiments without second thought. He has clones of himself. He possibly killed his girlfriend in his school days. (If the zandik lore is right.) He was literally expelled from the Akademiya because of how awful he was.

I cannot fathom how amazing of a character he is. I think in games we need to have more characters who are just genuinely fucking evil and we don’t just “hate” them for it. I honestly dislike how people hate him JUST because he did bad shit, like have a better reason than that tbh? "He hurt collei/He's the reason crepus died/he gave scara so much trauma" I LOVE ALL THREE OF THOSE GUYS AND DOTTORE</3 Don't hate one character only to love the next. anyways dottore supremacy..

Anywho, onto Columbina. Honestly she intrigues me so much. She's so powerful that not even childe wants to fight her, what is up with that??? I think its also interesting how in the commedia dell'arte her title is technically Little Dove but it’s Damselette in the game. we like,, do not know much about her at all to be honest?? The harbingers voice lines about her interest me so much, especially arle's. It's very. vague??

Arlecchino: "She is a very special Harbinger. Pose her a question, and the answer you receive will be entirely unpredictable, if she sees fit to give a proper answer at all. Regardless, any answer you do receive is sure to be an interesting one."

Childe: "The Fatui Harbingers are ranked by strength, and I have no idea why that girl is No. 3. I'd test my skills with every Harbinger who ranks above me if I had the chance, but when it comes to her... something just doesn't feel right. Anyway, you should be careful around her."

Scara/Wanderer: "Let me ask: what should you do if you were to encounter a "damsel" who is oblivious and innocent at any given time, and unconcerned and unfeeling in any given situation? If it were me, I could at least challenge her to a fight. But if it were you... with your conscience, I would stay away from her."

Judging by voice lines alone, columbina is very, very powerful. she seems to beat around the bush with questions (arles voiceline) and is very mysterious even with the other harbingers. (childe saying something doesn't feel right) I've seen theories that she belongs to the seele race which is honestly pretty cool, but I think i'd need to see her in game or hear more about her first. I'd assume that Arlecchino has a rather close/interesting relationship with columbina. Not purely because of the fact they do in the commedia dell'arte, but because she was the only one out of the three to not tell the traveler to be careful around/stay away from columbina.

Arlecchino herself is a really well written character to me and I notice that a lot of the fandom don't understand her entirely (myself included.) Something i notice the most is how people tend to dumb her down to the Father of the house of the hearth, either portraying her as a wonderful parent (incorrect) or as an awful one (also incorrect.) She's definitely a highly flawed person who does put her children in danger, although she absolutely cares about the children of the hearth. I wouldn't say she's a child abuser/groomer/any other stupid shit the fandom says about her. Her wiki quite literally says that she's flawed but not as awful as Crucabena:

Her (possibly?) being khaenri'ahn is also so interesting because WHY does the tsaritsa keep having connections with khaenri'ah in her military of all things. I have so many questions.

We do not know much about pulcinella at all but I do find it SO intruiging/interesting (can someone give me another word for this HELP) that he's close to childe. he visits childes family for him, iirc, which is suspicious when you read the commedia dell'arte lore.

I do think he's doing this for self gain to be honest. He's a manipulative person, so he could be manipulating childe into relaxing around him to the point of letting pulcinella get near his family, which could end really badly to be honest.

Next up is scaramouche. I feel like the scara stans themselves don't even understand his character that much, because they're too busy yelling at people about raiden/dottore instead of focusing on his character itself. I think he's a LOT more than mommy issues short boy and actually his character is really deep. His name in the commedia dell'arte is also Little Skirmisher (instead of balladeer, though I'm not too sure what that means) and what's most interesting to me about his commedia dell'arte connection is how (IIRC, this could be wrong but i found this out last time i was talking about the harbingers and the commedia dell'arte) scaramouche's "mask" was later removed, which him being removed from irminsul could be a nod to that.

What's also a neat nod to the commedia is how scara "influences the audience to do his bidding." I think in game they referenced this by him influencing/controlling that one woman in sumeru (i forget her name) to be his first follower and do as he says.

Okay so truthfully i don't have many thoughts on sandrone but something that makes me curious about her backstory is the fact that in the commedia she is known as "Peasant.” what else is neat with this is that she looks like that one girl from Fontaine (Mary-Ann) I don’t really know/remember the the lore of her but hm.

What’s even weirder abt the similarities is that Marionette (her title) means Little Mary IIRC? I don’t think she IS Mary Ann since she’s dead but she could have connections to her. Anyway I don’t have many thoughts on her ngl.. </3 genshin give us sandrone lore PLEASEEEE

Next up is my fucking WIFE ‼️‼️ (la signora)

everyone who hates her sucks lowkey she’s such an overlooked character like her lore is so fucking?? sad?? Everyone reduces her to “haha ashes” and it annoys me tbh. Her boss fight was a pain in the fucking ass though ROSALYNE WHY.. it took me 20+ tries

I genuinely love her backstory it makes me so sad honestly. Through her grief and rage she became feared and hated. Idk I wish people would talk about her a little more?? Because she’s so interesting?? She has ties to ancient mondstadt isn’t that sick.

something that interests me the most about her character is how they made her somewhat different from La Signora in commedia dell’arte? She’s continually described as a woman who often cheats on her husband in the commedia, but when you read genshin Signora’s backstory it’s interesting to see how it’s mostly focused around how her loss of her lover threw her into a grief induced rage (basically, it’s centered around her grief and love)

as for her similarities, these two images explain it well:

Honestly I wish we had got to explore her character more than the information we have now. Genshin is so evil for killing her off tbh.

Pantalone I know like NOTHING about. I think he’s a really neat character. A lot of people dumb him down to “evil baizhu” but I do think he has a lot of potential to be a really good character

Basically he’s a capitalist ‼️ kidding but for him, he seems so far to be REALLY similar to Pantalone in the Commedia. I dont have too many thoughts on him either because we don’t know much about him yet </3 pantalone lore when….

and you already know most of my thoughts on Childe so I will save the rant for another day because that would get me fired up (I am losing words this rant sucked the life out of me HELP)

oh wait another thing that is neat about the harbingers entirely is how the trailer for them was called a Winter Night’s Lazzo (I think) but that’s another reference to the commedia dell’arte :)

[𝟑:𝟎𝟎 𝐚𝐦]

pairing: min yoongi x reader (ft. bts members)

genre: fluff and slight comedy.

requested by: sparkly anon

summary: yoongi’s girlfriend cheers him up by comforting him after staying up with him and seeing they lost the grammys.

author’s note: I know this is over and done with, but I just wanted to say that Bts are still making records bigger than the grammy’s and are still winners in my eyes at the end of the day. The fact that they got nominated and still got to perform for the world to see which I’m happy with. Let’s stop giving relevance to the grammys that scam artists out of their hard work and continue to give relevance by supporting our artists. Thank you and I hope you enjoy. 

“Shhh they’re coming everyone hide. 3...2...1...Suprise!”

You flip the light switch and pop the tiny confetti on the boys pouting faces. At first you thought they were going to prank you by smiling and say they won the Grammy, but they face never changed.

“You guys didn’t win did you?” One of your cousins ask the boys and they nod looking exhausted for staying up all night. You ran up to them hugging and patting every one of the members heads.

You can tell all of them were calm yet still slightly sad that they didn’t win the award, especially Suga it was one of his biggest career goals. Knowing how the Grammys tend to scam the next biggest artist over the years, you still had slight hope that they could’ve won and deserved the win.

Namjoon, Taehyung and Jungkook for the most part was holding up okay, but the rest of the members were either drifting off to sleep, still sad or looking very defeated. They even performed dynamite at the Grammys, but it didn’t even get to appear on tv it was recorded live on YouTube which made you even more mad about the situation.

“Cmon boys it’s been a long day I know you guys just probably want some sleep. Just remember you guys have been working very hard and making records bigger than the Grammys! Seriously the Grammys are crazy for picking Rain on me over Dynamite.”

The boys smirk as you start going on a rant while drinking a few cups of wine. You tend to be a light weight after one cooler yet you were chugging a whole bottle of Electra wine in the living room with all friends and family watching ranting with you.

Your mom notices you start to wobble as you attempt to walk over and sit on yoongi’s lap. She catches you from slamming your body on the couch.

“Yeah y/n, I think it’s time to wrap it up. You’ve had a few too many drinks.”

“No worries Ms. Y/LN. I’ve got this. She does this almost every time we don’t win something or when I’m off on tour.”

Your mom looks at Suga with a shocked look on her face and mouth agape. “ J-just please take good care of her. I trust you.”

He nods at you mom and starts carrying you upstairs in your room as you try to slide your way off of his arms.

He shuts the door behind him, locks it and set you down gently on your bed.

“Are you done now? I’m kind of over this so let’s just call it a night baby.”

You nod at him and finally sobered up. You gave him one last tight hug while rubbing his back.

“I know this reward would’ve made the highlight of your year, but honestly the Grammys can kiss my ass. Hell at the end of the day they’re going to choose who they feel deserved the trophy. In army’s eyes including me, your still the best boy group there is out there not to mention the best boyfriend too. So don’t bear yourself up about it soon enough the Grammys will learn that they need you to keep the hype alive.”

He looks at you caressing your face finally smiling at your words. He loves how your just kind to him in a sense speaking your strong beautiful mind not giving a care in the world. That kind of attitude also motivates him to take those loses and turn them into something positive.

“What would I do without? I honestly wouldn’t have made it this far if it wasn’t for you. I love you...” He kisses you softly on the side of your shoulder and then slowly leans in aiming for your lips.

“Y-yoongi. I-“ As soon as you two were about to kiss Jin opens the door at the wrong time interrupting the romantic moment between you two.

“Ahh so sorry. I thought this was the bathroom. You guys can continue.” He covers his eyes avoiding yoongi’s cold glare slowly shutting the door.

You both look at each other laughing at Jin’s awkward yet funny entrance. You kissed him lightly on his hands and got back up saying...

“Well let’s go back down stairs to try to eat some and go back to sleep. I’ve made some good barbecue and my famous red velvet cake for everyone.”

“Red Velvet, don’t mind if I do!” He chuckles following you outside the room feeling 10x happier than he was before.

Sorry this took so long to write, but I hope you enjoyed this time stamp! 💕✨
