I think Freminet has some of the most interesting dissonance in his self perception of any Genshin character.

Like, of the Hearthlings we know, he's one of the most emotionally mature and intelligent. Lynette might still have him beat, but after playing her hangout... I dunno. I think they're tied. Lyney is Crumbling, Alrecchino is. Well. Arlecchino. Everyone else is a deeply traumatized child or adult and Freminet seems to pretty regularly be people's emotional support. His character stories talk about getting his vision by saving a bunch of other kids on a dive that went bad. The Selkie event literally had him being a therapist for a grownass woman, citing his past experiences with all the other Hearthlings that have died or killed themselves. And he handled that situation WELL. Yeah, he seems to live in a fantasy, but goddamn he's alive and a lot of people in his position aren't so clearly something is working.

Either his or Lyney's character story talks about the time Freminet had reached out to Lyney to try to ease his burdens, which resulted in Lyney blowing up at him. That probably contributed to Freminet thinking he's not good at it, but I think the reason Lyney reacted so badly was BECAUSE Freminet is actually a good support. He can't allow himself that from the little brother he's supposed to protect.

Freminet seems to both cry and dissociate often, but like... Kiddo you are in fact the only person in this family actually processing your emotions. Lynette dissociates 24/7. Arlecchino. Lyney lies and tells everyone he's fine and would literally rather die than admit otherwise. In comparison, Freminet is doing FANTASTIC

Freminet also gets a lot out of helping people! Like anyone, he needs to feel useful and needed. He seems to be an excellent mentor to the younger Hearthlings and perfectly competent on his own, but when you put him in a room with Lyney and Lynette who baby him and insist that THEY take care of HIM, he withdraws into himself.

Like, Freminet by himself feels like a young man and Freminet with the magician twins feels like a teenager. I have no idea how old he actually is. Logically, he would be OLDER than them! He's been with the House much, much longer and his experience shows. I think it's fascinating that they love him SO MUCH and yet, they just Cannot let him help them. Which is hurting him.

(Lynette is much better about not babying him and that is probably why their relationship is so much better than Freminet and Lyney's. Also why she keeps having to mediate between them. Because Lyney charges off trying to Fix Everything and that just makes Freminet feel useless and he doesn't want to get in the way and- you get the point)

Idk. It's hard to tell what things the previous director said to him vs what Arlecchino has said to him. I'm inclined to think our Arlecchino was the one that said he cries too much, but in a "crying in front of your enemies will get you killed" way and she herself is too fucked up to realize how "you cry too much" could be damaging.

Also I try not to consider gameplay stuff when it comes to story, but Freminet also has some of the most BRUTAL animations. He SMASHES HIS EMOTIONAL SUPPORT METAL PENGUIN INTO HIS ENEMY'S FACE. He doesn't think he's the most amazing fighter, and by Fatui standards he probably isn't, but he is winning fights against most grown men.

Tldr Freminet thinks he cries too much and is a burden and isn't good at helping people when he's actually the most mentally stable Hearthling send tweet

#genshin impact #freminet #What this discussion has made me think is how Freminet and Lyney’s dissonance is also stemming from the fact #that Lyney is denying Fremmy his primary coping mechanism #Cuz Fremmy is at his best when he’s helping people and I totally agree that it’s definitely one of his coping mechanisms #So when Lyney *insists* that Freminet step back and let him solve his problems for him like a big brother would #it just makes Fremmy feel insecure instead #Freminet when he is denied the ability to help others is significantly less stable in the way that he just kind of shuts down #I’m glad that we got to see him finally push back against Lyney a bit in Arle’s quest #Keeping it vague to avoid spoilers but that conversation between them near the beginning was just so good #It would be nice to see them come into conflict about it again in the future #because there’s clearly distance that’s been driven between them over the years #and there’s no way Lyney will figure it out unless Fremmy is driven to the absolute breaking point to confront him about it #This was a great discussion about all of them and their mental health tho I really enjoyed reading it

I love Arlecchino and her dynamic with the House of Hearth children and really to me its less a manner of a binary of how “healthy/toxic” it is and more like this really fascinating situation of “found family” where there is an inherent moral dilemma in how much of a Choice really has in choosing said family when things are so dire for them being adopted into a Child Soldier Orphanage is genuinely a “Best Case Scenario” for them

have you ever noticed that wanderer’s signature dish doesn’t have eel despite you using eel to cook it? while you could argue it’s hidden, people theorise that he takes it out because he knows nahida hates seafood 🫠🫠

i was trying to draw cover art for a new comic compilation book and it was initially b&w but i ended up drawing proper backgrounds with lighting for the first time 🥹 really glad it turned out well!!

bonus:

Happy Birthday, Baizhu!

Good morning. How have you been holding up recently? Any discomfort?

I've prepared a whole range of medicinal foods to help fortify your body, and Qiqi has also gathered some rare herbs for you.

Also, take this herbal bouquet I put together for you. It'll have a calming effect if you put it by your bedside.

If you'd rather not see the flowers wilt away, you may also decoct them. I'll show you how a little later.
