Wanna know something sad?

I'll take that as a yes. So anyways, I think in the def artifact description it says something like "the youth hated chatty humans the most" or something, right?

SO Scaramouche would hate me.. going to go cry in a corner now :Qiqi_Fallen: :sob:

-ghost anon but im on a computer still

Hahahaha, don't worry, at least you could have that "sits silently + talks all the time" dynamic with him that I personally love

Hold up, I might make a fic about this!

aAAAAH IM SORRY I FORGOT TO TELL YOU

Anyways, apparently there's this harbinger named arlecchino or something and apparently (?) according to my friend they're also looking for Scaramouche? Or like they sent Childe to do it? I'm not quite sure but yeah D: Sorry if it was like *really* small it was just something I wanted to ask about your thoughts on haha

-👻

Ohh, okay! Yeah, I've seen that one too but sadly there still isn't much information about him. I'm really glad they're gonna introduce new Harbingers though, I'm getting impatient. The lack of Fatui appearance in the game rn is disturbing. (There's just so much potential in them, you know)

[cloudenthusiast2]

Well, yes that is not a good thing, but it wouldn't be guaranteed he would.. receive Signora treatment.

It's just so sad that he would probably have to suffer, there's almost no way that he wouldn't.. unless he doesn't put the gnosis in him, which is unlikely. I feel so bad for him he doesn't deserve this, he deserves better :(

- 👻

Well, his in-game lore states that he is going put it in so unless it's actually just some kind of foretold prophecy and he has to ability to change his fate, he is going to do it. Waiiiit a minute!!

Change his fate... the fates are written in the stars according to Mona... but the stars are a lie according to Scaramouche... Oh my God, I'm onto something! If the stars really are a lie, maybe he'll just overwrite his own fate?!

This is just a crazy theory, who knows. And I absolutely agree, he deserves so much better.

[cloudenthusiast2]

Okay but like in your opinion what is the most likely scenario of Scaramouche like, redeeming himself or at least making traveler not hate him so much so that he could be playable? (Sorry if that doesn't really make sense I have no idea how to explain my question ;-;)

-👻

No, the question is totally understandable:)

I think the traveller rather hates the concept of the fatui and not necessarily its harbingers, if that makes sense. Everyone has their own motivations to be in the fatui and the Balladeer's one has nothing to do with the actual plans of the Tsaritsa. Let us not forget that he's also going to betray her! You know the saying: my enemy's enemy is my friend. Therefore I think he's still very much redeemable in our eyes.

The only thing that makes it a little complicated that he indirectly caused Teppei's death. But then also, the traveller has a big heart and if he learns about his story, I think he will be capable of forgiving him. (Potentially happening in the Yae Miko story quest? Since she's met and knows well what happened.) So I think, when Scaramouche gets in trouble for stealing the gnosis and the whole of fatui will be after him, we will (maybe? maybe) help him. Especially since he's gonna realise that putting the gnosis in wasn't actually worth it. Then he'll have the full chance to join the traveller's party. Just imagine: he can't go back to Inazuma and now has to hide from a literal army and eleven blood-thirsty harbingers as well, where else could he possibly go?

My only fear is that his redemption arc will also contain him dying. We can't possibly know if putting the gnosis in isn't dangerous even for him. Also, this last sentence of the artifact set makes me really anxious:

"But if he were to wrench this "heart" out,

He would no longer be able to feel anything at all..."

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SUPPOSED TO MEAN. Does not feeling anything means death? If someone gets the gnosis out of him, will he die? We do know that the Tsaritsa really needs the gnosis, will she try to actually like rip it out of him...?

So to sum it up, I think he's very likely gonna have a redemption arc (and then hopefully become playable.) But his chances of dying are also worryingly high...

[cloudenthusiast2]

if Scara dies I'm literally gonna cry

BRO I'M SKIPPING MY BELOVED ALBEDO FOR HIM HE BETTER COME OUT :((

I've heard somewhere that he would fight Childe and win, I have no idea if that's true or not but like.. honestly idc.. HE JUST MUST SURVIVE

-👻

Don't even say the d word.

Aw, you're skipping Albert for him, that's nice! I did pull on his banner since I wanted to get a Bennett constellation. Then I freaked out when the star turned gold. Thank God I lost my 50-50. (I bet you don't hear this very often.) Sadly it was Qiqi (c1). I adore her, but I really wanted Mona:( Do you have her? Speaking of Mona, do you ship Scaramona?

I'm pretty sure we're gonna have a boss fight with him. I just hope he doesn't pull a Signora and d... disbands.
