How evil is arlecchino and what is she cooking

As of 4.2, I’m really curious what they’re planning with Arlecchino as a character, especially as a villain/antagonist/morally dubious character, and how far/which direction they may go with that

Intuitively my impression is we’ll see her do something way more “villainous” than she presents herself as being for majority of Fontaine’s AQ in front of us right—(which isn’t a surprise given that, you know, Arlecchino nor the House of Hearth have never been presented as 110% ethical LOL) but I find myself not being in complete agreement with most analysis or speculation threads I see about Arlecchino’s morality and the like, level of sinister people seem to ascribe to her.

Idk how to put it, especially in regards to her children I do agree they are not a wholesome found family, that Arlecchino is not above pulling strings or using them for her own ulterior motives, but I kind of hesitate on the idea she only cares about the Hearth children as a means to the end/things she can control and there’s nothing else going on with her characterization wise there. I’m not saying that impression seems remotely unreasonable or unfounded, but just that it feels there’s something intentionally missing in how we are supposed to conceptualize her as a person

My main reasoning for this hunch is the fact they have not elaborated on Arlecchino and the previous Knave—who Arlecchino is stated to have taken over the position from by force. The extra tidbits I think about are that 1) Arlecchino was previously an orphan in the Hearth 2) the previous Knave is described as way, way crueler to the children of than Heart than Arlecchino was from when she took control of the House

Often, people’s major indicators that the House of the Hearth is kind of super fucked up are the NPCs we meet in world quests who are part of it and clearly suffering. But one thing I haven’t ever seen people mention w this that i think is a very interesting detail is, in The Very Special Fortune Slip Inazuma worldquest, where we stop this House of Hearth guy (Efim Snezhevich) from manufacturing tension between Watasumi/the Shogunate to restart the war with his other Hearth subordinates, at the end of the quest we get this dialogue that reveals he had been acting under the previous Knave’s directives:

It’s also mentioned he’s employing this plan in an attempt to “rebuild the prestige of the Knave” following Signora’s death, iirc? Now, see, the dialogue itself says that this is “assuming our captive is telling the truth” so who knows what’s really going on, but I find this a really odd/interesting thing to highlight. I’m a bit fuzzy on other world quests with Hearth members, and am not saying none of them were acting and subsequently being treated poorly by our Arlecchino, but like, this gives me a lot of questions especially when paired with implications this previous Knave seemed to be way worse

Like, what drove Arlecchino to take over? How unexpected and controversial was this within the House? Assuming the above information is all true it definitely says something this guy went rogue and acted on what the previous Knave would want and didn’t think our Arlecchino would greenlight it, which does feel consistent with the previous Knave being described as basically worse & crueler than our Arlecchino. It also makes me question how much house of hearth things we’ve seen outside the main story are the work of our Arlecchino or if there’s a bigger divide of loyalty. Heck, I could be wrong but it doesn’t even seem like we know if the previous Knave is dead or not

This isn’t me saying Arlecchino couldn’t possibly be treating hearth children worse than she wants us to know, especially ones who aren’t her “favorites” the way the fontaine trio seem to be, but I really don’t feel sure about making a solid conclusion of her exact level of malice the way ppl r generally understanding it rn when it feels there’s going to be more about her. Just the idea of she, as a Hearth child, clashed with the previous leader who was known for being cruel, overtook their position and took on less harsh methods of leading that made at least some members with more power/possible closer proximity to the previous Knave go rogue and try to commit atrocities in the previous Knave’s name…I feel this leaves a lot of room to suggest there’s more going on with how Arlecchino is as a person

I don’t mind if she’s just very evil and deceptive bc if she totally had me fall for thinking she was less evil than she actually was that’s fun tbh. But I feel people suggest that’s all her character could be with no degree of like, “sympatheticness” or deep grey morality and that if her character did go there it would be automatically poor writing and genshin walking back on making a truly evil woman when IDK. I feel you can claim at this point they have left it open ended and it’s never been completely confirmed she’s pure evil. Also sometimes I just get a hunch and feel cautiously confident in Genshin executing certain characters well. Not all characters, just certain ones. Especially given Fontaine’s character writing being very good and a character like Lyney feeling very solid to me when any development with Arlecchino would likely involve him and his siblings as well, I honestly feel open to the idea of Arlecchino being satisfyingly written to be both villainous/morally dubious but “sympathetic/likable as a person” in ways outside of just her ruthlessness if that makes sense

If I’m wrong/they drop the ball with it more than I anticipate I’ll eat my hat but I am pretty excited about her character and which way they decide to go with it. I will say the only potential impression I have of where they’ll go with her has been wondering if it will go in a “cycles of abuse” direction—I’d be surprised if they ever elaborated on Arlecchino’s character especially in how she feels about things and her also growing up as an exploited child of the hearth wasn’t relevant

#arlecchino #see my track record with said hunch with when I feel I should let genshin cook has been #for months truthing my vision of xiao’s speififc brand of internalized dehumanization induced suicidal ideation #and how genshin will one day he will get another quest of sorts thst develops his character towards #the idea he’s allowed to live and enjoy people’s company and this will likely #also come with following through on yaksha lore and when they do this they will do him SO well and it will be peak genshin quest #all of this Months before the existence of perilous trails was even rumored #and then I was soo stubborn xiao would show up in 2023 lantern rite w more character introspection to follow up PT #and also from the first fontsine teaser I was in the trenches for furina bc I felt so confident #the main storyline would handle her very well & if genshin went anywhere near the direction of her #not being a ‘true archon’ & ppl were Wrong if they thought genshin woudlnt take her seriously #and HAHA. WWOOWOOWOWOEOEOOEOEE #I have also been sent into hysteria multiple times bc genshin keeps canonizing my exact ideas of my favorite character dynamics #and often exceeding my expectations that I thought were jsut wishful thinking #yes I predicted exactly how xiao would interact w Venti & zhongli on screen yes I predicted #the exact nature of hat radish friendship no I was wiped out on the floor #by nahida enrolling wanderer in college & calling him hat guy & zhongli saving xiao’s life #& xiao having hardcore social anxiety from zhongven flirting with each other st the dinner table #this sounds so conceited. see I often don’t know What genshin is cooking but k feel sure in knowing when soemthing is going to be #a shitshow or mediocre or when we need to let them cook. even if it takes 6+ months #TRUST ME <— guy who has been waiting on genshin to cook for several characters for multiple years and is still sure I will get my food #am I crazy. yes. am I also often right when I have hunches on when genshin is going to suck and when it’s going to be good esp character #writing wise. often yes #one day I will annihilate genshined impact with my bare hands #genshin #fern.txt #fandomferns

I've come to the conclusion that loving young royals doesn't mean I can't be critical about it, maybe especially bc I love the show so much I have such strong feelings about it, good and bad and I can love parts of canon and agree with it and appreciate it but I don't have to love it all. I have accepted that it's okay if I don't accept the ending and I don't have to force myself to support it. It's okay to not agree with all of canon and it's okay to not side with all of the creators' intentions/views. Loving a show doesn't mean you have to take everything the writers say on face value and that's the only version that is allowed to exist. Canon isn't everything and fandom is about curating your own experience that makes you happy and not miserable. You don't have to dismiss canon in every aspect and ignore it entirely, that's certainly not what I want but there is a fine line between being canon respectful, allowing some parts to exist and sometimes, yes, you just have to say "fuck canon" and move on for your own sanity and wellbeing

#especically in the first two weeks of a new release everyone is feelings lots of intense emotions ranging from ecstatic to angry #everything in between is a part of it and i know i'm also feeling very strongly about it right now #i always try to stay levelheaded and rational and see things from an objective pov and be diplomatic about discourse #i don't want any of what i say drift off too much into meaningless hate instead of the constructive criticism it's supposed to be #but when you feel so strongly about something and sometimes you really just wanna say yeah i fucking hate it lol #but i always try to explain why and give understandable arguments and not just blindly hate on something #for example - I'm aware there are fans who have some problems with s2 and don't love the season whereas i do and it's my fave #and there is a difference between expressing some criticism and justified concerns which you can understand where it comes from #and those who are just like 'oh it's a horrible season. it was so shitty and we should get rid of it' which is dumb hate and just not true #and i can't support people like that and take them seriously #i can have my own issues with s3 from a subjective pov which can also include some justified criticism as well #but also still acknowledge it as a truly good piece of tv media and the quality is top notch #and that's why you have such high expectations and have critique because it is so good and sets such a high standard #yrtalk #with that being said i understand ppl not wanting to see any critic about it if they are riding the high of happy wilmon endgame #but that doesn't mean that i can't express my own opinions on my own blog and i will continue to do so #and maybe one day i will feel differently and accept or even like the ending who knows #but it doesn't have to happen. it's fine if it does but it's also fine if it doesn't

I really enjoy criticizing media, but I need you to know that stories like Scum Villain, DPA, and other "cringe" novels are actually SUPER good - so good that it's a lot of fun to deconstruct and joke about them. Same with characters I tease or make fun of - we're psychically connected

The funniest thing to me is that i truly do jot care about the presidential debates on the qsmp, but im watching bc ik charlie is doing some funky stuff as gegg and also him and bagherras interactions are nice :)

And part of it is that i feel like the fans are taking it wayyy too seriously, like its just rp, and i kinda dislike the way some ppl are treating cellbit n forever, like even if i dont particularly align w what theyre saying i def understand the two major parties (at least in terms of who was present for debate 2) and i feel like. Maybe some people need to take a step back and understand its just rp, its literally in minecraft, its not a big deal.

I also think some ppl are slightly misconstruing what mainly bagherra and bbh were saying, in calling what they want a utopia, which certainly isnt true.

But its whatever im not too invested in the elections themselves lmao

Not pointed at anyone just a general statement :]

#qsmp #qsmp elections #qsmp presidential elections #quackity smp #i also kinda think that the ppl who want to dismantlethe federation both shouldnt win and wont win #bc if they win they become one w the federation even if thats not what they want #and whos to say that if the federation doesnt rig the botes that they wont take the winner and do to them that they did to quackity #theyre making their stance known in the most public way but they shouldnt win so they can more easily hold a revolt or a rebellion #against the federation #and even if they don’t necessarily win #it proves their point i think #the federation cannot be trusted and by winning the presidency they end up with the federation #I understand that ppl are doing what they think is right #but idk #maybe thats just me #either way ppl shouldnt take it too seriously #at the end of the day whatever happens if its too much for someone #turn your phone off and take a breather maybe drink some water all that

Questioning someone's/a group's intelligence will never get them to genuinely consider your stance.. (unless they are particularly very self-hating)(aka me)

#ig the easiest example to understand is when ppl go “oh these group of women are such idiots for letting themselves get hurt by men”.. #do you think calling them idiots is going to make them take any of the points you take seriously? #individual level too.. #do you think calling someone in an abjse situation an idiot will seriously get them to change their mind? #or telling an addict they are stupid for ruininf their lives? do you rlly think undermining someone will get them to take your point srsly. #i just see this all rhe time both irl but esp amplified online (understandable but i still.. hate it) #i hate how people think undermining someone is a valid way to get them to consider your point #i think for some; they don't even genuinely care and are on a high horse about being “right” #but some ppl GENIUNELY think this is the way to get someone to change rheir mind #a prime example.. my parents:^b

idk how other ppl learn to read characters but even when someone has very few lines, if they're not a few throwaway lines and have a smidgen of thought put into them, you can really deduct a lot of things from what they say without mountains of dialogue and array of actions they take.

cIaus, even Iucas via his few lines and interactive dialogue, is so easy to understand and learn what hes about from the dialogue you are given. it shouldnt be hard to mess him up

and even tho these are more active characters in the story with goals to achieve and story beats to hit, u rly can apply the same to lngo and 3mmet. u can make assumptions or deduct possible aspects about how they act from breaking down their dialogue and possible routine. some things might be completely speculative and pulled out of thin air but as long as it matches the characters general front its hard to go wrong

#gilly speaks #fanon can have some fun in it and sometimes its where most of ur source material might come from bc theyre not important npcs but #its important to review how they actually act if u wanna create something semi faithful #im not 100% faithful but i think about these things alot #ie i like opposites in how they present themselves vs how they actually are #lngo being viewed as always responsible whilst actually being a bit reckless <- i dont take p0kemas as canon but their event lit #proves this when he wants to get straight into action in the tunnels whilst 3mmet reigns him back in with a reminder about asking #and vice versa when 3mmet takes safety way more seriously than lngo even tho its something they both care for #i have many thoughts abt them #always and forever #another part of my not 100% faithful adaptions is taking their inaction during all bw events #u could say they had to protect the subway and its ppl but honestly........... #they could have taken a stand against ghets1s with the league #the workers are no pushovers they could have handled themselves were anything to happen in n1mbasa #so i see that as them actively protecting the subway and one another above a larger threat in hopes theyd be left alone and that someone #would deal w that problem even if it ends up being a young teenager </3 #theyre just normal guys. literally standard guys who dont want to be caught up in world saving shenanigans. #theyre both justice oriented when its to do with the subway directly #otherwise its just not their problem. theyre just some guys!!!! #ignore the strength they wield dw abt it #sorry i cannot be normal abt them theyre very dear to me and them being complex instead of amazing and good guys is so much more fun #theyre not bad!! they barely scrape morally grey bc they ultimately want to do good but sometimes theyre willing to turn a blind eye to #bigger problems in order to protect whats important to them

as much as i love galar and have a soft spot for its story... it would've been a lot more interesting if it was an anti-monarchy story instead the weirdly dismissive climate crisis allegory we got.

#galar is kinda similar to alola to me where i love the characters and their arcs... but their central themes are a lil iffy to me #especially when you compare them to what real life events they're analogous to #like the main characters being so dismissive of the wellbeing of those in the future is just... weird? how am i supposed to root for that?? #''oh it's a millennium away and won't effect me personally so why should i care?'' GIRL??? #also let's be real a millennium is just an estimate who knows how long the research on the solutions would take #and then when you find the solution how will it take to implement it? what happens if that timeline is shortened? #what if ppl push back against that solution bc they aren't convinced it'll help or if it's even necessary? #a millennium isn't a guarantee so why push it off until it's too late? do want the future generations to look back on you w/ scorn? #rose should've hired me to convince these ppl to take the energy crisis seriously i could've done it #okay now i've got ideas brewing a swsh rewrite might be coming #pokemon #pkmn swsh #mj.txt
