connections between venti and arlecchino that i found particularly interesting, a rambling 🗣️
ARLECCHINO STORY QUEST SPOILERS‼️‼️
(these r just some cool things i found kinda sus and interesting. this was for fun.)
1. first, my thoughts on clervie — specifically what she says in response to learning about mondstadt:
2. the similarities between arlecchino and venti regarding “freedom”:
venti fought for freedom that was earned, and eventually became the god of freedom shortly after he earned said freedom.
he also tested vennessa. he tested her by saying he could grant her freedom and waited to see if she would leave the cell with him, but she didn’t. she stayed and showed him how freedom was meant to be earned, not given. venti was more than satisfied with her answer and left.
venti has shown time and time again that he believes freedom is meant to be earned. at least, that’s how i see his character and his ideals.
now i want to bring up what arlecchino said towards the end of her story quest. i find it interesting how she also believes that freedom is meant to be earned, not given.
pretty interesting.
3. now for my own personal rant and theories:
“freedom” itself is always being mentioned in this game. it started in mondstadt, the nation embodying freedom. the god of freedom himself entered the fray and showed us what freedom truly meant.
liyue was “freed” from their own god, who saw it time to step down from his position as archon and left the task of ruling & protecting liyue to the humans.
wouldn’t say there’s much freedom in inazuma tbh. unless you count the people being “freed” from the vision hunt decree and the sakoku decree.
nahida being freed from the hands of the sages/akademiya.
furina being freed from her curse and the act she played out for 500 years.
i wonder if we’ll see any freedom in natlan too.
ANYWAYS, ALL THIS TO SAY (i didnt mean for this to become a venti rant, i have constant venti brainrot) — i believe that venti and freedom play an ENORMOUS part in the lore of the game and we haven’t seen anything yet.
i am a firm believer that venti is one of the most important characters in this game. bro has lore in literally every nation, maybe with the exception of fontaine (iirc, there hasn’t been anything in fontaine calling back to barbatos).
he even has lore in the chasm and enkanomiya, which says A LOT. i haven’t finished the remuria world quest yet, so idk if there’s any lore about him or istaroth sprinkled there too. tbh i wouldn’t be surprised if there was.
everything always comes full circle when it comes to venti. he’s everywhere, which is pretty cool to think about when you realize that he’s supposed to be the embodiment of the wind, which is everywhere all at once and can hear everything.
which brings me to my last point —
4. this voiceline from arlecchino about the wind.
hmmm.. 🤨

his new trailer featured a small moon. you know what that means? "lunette" = little moon in french origin. im gonna cry im so delusional
im preparing a short comic for lyn/lun, hopefully it's not too ooc to his canon personality bc i still havent seen his voicelines orz
!! edit: some people pointed out that that "lunette" doesnt mean that! i actually based it on what i gathered on meriam webster, it says on the site that there are some 17th century evidence of the term being used for "small celestial moon", but the meaning now is apparently obsolete, so i used "french origin" on my post. maybe i got too ahead of myself from that statement? i just went with it because genshin isnt modern..! (+ plus other probably unreliable sources) personally i still want to associate her with the moon, because i took "lun" from luna and "nette" from marinette (lol) so yes! i just find it cute and im making these for myself anyways ><

lorsque les maisons deviennent ruine, qu’elles ont perdu leur toit, souvent des arbres poussent là où il y avait des pièces ; des arbres qui forment charpente, comme des nouveaux toits ; ce que l'homme a vu dans la nature pour construire son monde, la nature le lui restitue sobrement à l'heure de sa fin

your local magician's love confession went wrong..
thinking about lunette finding out lyney's connections with the fatui without him knowing, and the betrayal she felt since her family was ambushed by the fatui during her childhood (and her long lost twin brother is now a member of it)
hopefully i can draw the whole scene next time o<-<
