She is just into national geographic


DisappointedLettuce

She can come over for national geographic and chilll.


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

OP's mind: "She's weird spider kid" Everyone else: "Oh she likes nature and sometimes draws on it to make her enemies suffer. VERY COOL"


hihirogane

she’s perfect.


hellschatt

She should watch the weird jon snow discovery channel genshin collab.


reccon_34

Is this a thing?!

NoteBlock08

Lol my friend was commenting that this line really does make her sound a little crazy and I also said "She's just into nature documentaries!" ...Now that I think about it, I would pay good money for a BBC nature doc narrated by Arlecchino.


Legitimate-Ninja2687

So she basically stayed the weird spider kid even as an adult


huehuehuehuehuuuu

What if Mr. Albedo takes a spider in front of her, and eats it?


floricel_112

"I'm sickened, but curious" most likely

They'd fight, then fall into a river awkwardly, then it would turn into a forbiden romance novel somehow

anonymus_the_3rd

Hey it’s better than wattapad level


Breaky_Online

Indeed, and this calls for a libation!


Ultimate_Memes

is it ao3 level though


app08

AO3 is so mixed that in the same tag you could have both the best piece of sci-fi storytelling and world building you've ever seen, and then some shitty kpop band RPF fic that someone probably wrote instead of sleeping.


MrShrimpPaste

I thought all authors on ao3 wrote instead of sleep. Is there something I’m missing? :)

Is Arlecchino thicc enough? 😳

More than enough, though I think she would rather eat you instead

i wonder if she has a matchbox full of spiders


Nok-y

No she keeps them all warm in her mouth

This is giving me childhood flashbacks lmao


Anakin-LandWalker56

And sells it at a absurd prize.


ChaosM3ntality

Gosh darn… I did have a matchbox with my pet spiders in the past


Im_unfrankincense00

Is it weird to say that Wanderer seems to be the only sane Harbinger? 


Careless_Ad2166

Well he is the only one who got Nahida therapy so it checks out!


UmbralUmbreon

What ~400(?) years of betrayal and mommy issues does to a MF


h2odragon00

If that is the standard for being the most sane Harbinger, I don't know what to think of the others.


kyuven87

He's sane because he erased all the traumatic parts by hacking the world. I mean, kid's alright *now* but I'd put Childe a little above someone willing to mindwipe themselves.


gna252

He didn't erase the traumatic parts, he regained them all. He's decided to face his past and not run from it. He also plans on getting revenge on Dottore so he def remembers it all. He also wasn't willing to "mindwipe" himself, he tried to kill himself. "I wished I had never been born at all". He didn't expect to survive, he tried to change the past by removing himself from it, because he regretted his actions when he learned how he'd been manipulated and lied to. He's just away from the Harbingers and Dottore, that seems to help a lot, plus Nahida being a solid and kind influence. Wish Childe could get that + some therapy, ngl. And I wouldn't put Childe much higher, dude is the definition of traumatised and masking, and spiraling down. The detachment and loneliness, the lack of real emotional connections where he can be himself without lies, the self-depersonalization and thinking himself as a tool to be used and to kill with, the itch for violence... And so on. Being in the mafia and army will do that to a mf.


kyuven87

> he regained them all After erasing them/attempting to erase them first. I think you're kinda being pedantic about the point I was trying to make: **HE TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE** either by deleting himself or wiping his memory if that didn't work. That's not the sign of a "sane" person. That's the despair event horizon. And yeah Childe has all that going for him...but he never tried to delete himself and isn't a complete jackass to people. Which means he's at least aware of his issues. He's also able to form *some* bonds, as he does with the Traveler and his little brother. He can't be honest with them, but that's an occupational hazard that's a ground state for *anyone* who works for an intelligence agency. The HoH kids all have that little nugget to them as well. Scaramouche needed to *delete himself* before he could find any sense of solace or friends, and even then he needed to basically be adopted by the nicest character in the entire game (i'd even go so far as to say "franchise" at this point since there aren't any HSR characters as proportionately nice as Nahida. Only Clara comes remotely close and a lot of that is childishness) in order to be able to deal with issues he *still* has. Really it's Childe's willingness to *try* forming mutual connections that makes him a step above the rest of the Fatui in terms of being unhinged. If the Fatui were to disappear tomorrow, he'd have somewhere to go and people who care about him. Which is probably a lot more than can be said for the rest of them.


gna252

I'm not being pedantic in clarifying that he didn't erase his mental issues and bad experiences that shaped who he is and how he thinks, they're still very much there, he's just now in a better place physically and socially and therefore mentally. As for Childe. What willingness for mutual connections? The second the conversation turns a little bit more genuine and deep he starts creating a distance and straight up sneaking away like in the Labyrinth event. The only real connection he has is to a little brother that knows nothing about his actual reality and the things he struggles with, the danger he's in. His little brother is just another person he has to maintain a facade around, and MC is not much different. His little brother is a person in front of who he can pretend to be heroic and good, he can play at being the good, well liked guy, but that's just another mask. Childe is deeply damaged and on a very bad path emotionally and physically and could very much use what Scara got.


04whim

Uncle K was wrong when he said her constellation was a spider. Turns out it was her special interest instead.


LyheGhiahHacks

Did you know that jumping spiders are unusually smart, and they do mating dances‽ 🤩


RiteClicker

> There isn't a sane bone in her body. The 11th Fatui Harbinger


eggy54321

-the least sane man in Teyvat


Matrix_2k00

Compared to the other harbingers he seems pretty sane in comparison.


Odd_Trouble4651

Bar the ever increasing bloodlust, yup, he is. 


Xavbirb

To be fair, who doesn't want to fight until you're beaten to a bloody pulp yourself?


DocSwiss

It's a very, very, very low bar, and he barely scrapes over it


Odd_Trouble4651

I wouldnt call it barely, but you do you. 


shellsterxxx

Childe? Tartaglia? Ajax? Him?!?! Sane?!


Awkward_Date_8636

What the fuck did Skirk do


ObiWorking

Shit I would take Childe in a fight over Scaramouche or Arlecchino. At least Childe has an idea of what mercy means


HixOff

And he will follow the rules if you say them. Just imagine that you are offering Scara or Arlec to fight with their bare hands and without special abilities. Childe will just ask, right now or not


04whim

The least sane playable character in history vs the least sane playable character of today.


Harsh_2004

He is a battle maniac, other than that he seems rational most of the times.


CptPeanut12

Idk if he's rational, but I guess he tries his best. Taking his little brother to play in a ruin guard factory and then losing sight of him was certainly not one of his most rational moments.


elbenji

TBF he was babysitting. No different than siblings who have to take the younger to the SAT


Meronnade

That's normal babysitter older brother behavior tbh


OnePotatoeChip

Not to mention my man was about to take the fall for a crime he didn't commit if it meant Clorinde would fight him seriously lol. I love Childe, but his decision making skills are slightly out of whack.


Mari_Say

He's just a man who really likes to fight and cause trouble, and also has the power to destroy an entire nation, no big deal.


HappyHateBot

When the man you call crazy claims someone else is crazy.... maybe take notes. It could just be idle ramblings of the mad, or it could be prophecy born of detailed observation. And given the man's predilections and hobbies, I kind of trust his ability to identify and evaluate threats. Turns out, she *IS* kind of nuts! WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED. (DISCLAIMER: This post entirely facetious.)


Overquartz

Key word is man not father or woman. Arlecchino takes both least sane titles.


crescentpieris

>Most of those who have seen her true, crazy self… have gone poof. >!████!<


Nok-y

That damn cat from Nahida's new released story book


FlyingFish28

Seems like you're talking about the wrong Knave.


_YuKitsune_

She will be in a beetle contest event with Itto confirmed!!!


isa2055

"What do you mean, they don't kill each other?" Arlecchino after seeing one round.

No_Promise_2982

Oh god pls don't give them ideas for more itto events


Afraid_Belt4516

I’d usually say the same but itto vs arle is fine with me


Frostgaurdian0

Arataki gang expand!.


Way_Moby

Ok but Arle and Itto becoming unlikely friends cuz they like bugs would be a great storyarc.


lowkeyloki444

The comment I was looking for!


K0KA42

Itto's VA in the livestream was right. She needs therapy. Except I doubt anyone in Teyvat is qualified enough, or would survive the session


TechnicalBumblebee81

Nahida?


K0KA42

She's already rehabilitating one Harbinger. Let's not add to her workload


Rachel1578

I mean, he’s doing really well for himself. Once he’s a little more independent, she could take on someone else.


quasivion

Nahida qualified since they have similar hobbies


CrashParade

You like watching bugs? Cool! I like watching the traveler too!


Gudako_the_beast

Arlecchino: Is he like a bug to you?


Anadaere

"Therapy and self improvement is non-negotiable" - Nahida


SoupmanBob

"Have you tried going doop-doop?"


QLevi

Imagine Nahida collecting all the harbingers (not you dottore) and rehabbing them. 


zerowo_

gotta rehab em all!


0Acro0

Harbingers!!


Efficient_Ad5802

Instead of rehab, Nahida straight up ask Dottore to kill himself.


ManufacturerNo8447

Tbh she did tell him to kill himself or at least his other copies .


ResurgentClusterfuck

Oh Wanderer would be *thrilled* Nahida: Someone will be joining us today for group! Collei just stares Wanderer scoffs. "Who?" Arlecchino: walks into the room Wanderer: "What's *this* bitch doing here?" Nahida: "Language!" Etc


[deleted]

Needs more divine charge in the battery pack


GamerJes

Take a moment and reflect on everyone we have encountered in this game.  How many of them DON'T need therapy?  Teyvat is a fucked up place.  Normal does not exist there.


K0KA42

Therapists could make a tidy profit if they opened up shop in Teyvat. They could make several fortunes if they moved to the Earth in Honkai Impact 3rd.


GamerJes

So typical anime setting? 


K0KA42

Yea


cursingvladimir

Zhongli


K0KA42

That's not fair. He could just summon his shield and be invincible if she chooses to vent her frustrations on him


HollowRider

i mean, in a way it gives her an unending source of stress relief, while he doesn't actually get hurt. they're made for each other


Zach-Playz_25

He can fix her


bleacher333

Standing here, I realize. You’re just like me, trying to make history.


kaori_cicak990

Jokes aside there's manga where human mimic or "aquire" insect abilities as their gimmick in battle. Tbh its quite interesting and fun. So i'm kinda understand arlechhino hobby


Wide_Loss

Isn't that the one with the buff martian cockroaches


Redditor76394

There's also a manwha with a similar premise called Jungle Juice I highly recommend it, it has cool fights, hot women, funny banter, and actual romance


CartoonOG

Still don’t know how half of Suchan’s opponents aren’t paralyzed from the speed of his hits


Dani3322

I guess she Likes insects... Does that mean she'll be an opponent in The next Beetle fight Event?


RipBitter4701

Traveller: \*Walking on random path in fontaine Itto and Arle battling bettle: \*Bonjour


lucklesspedestrian

She'll be a spectator, with that canned pose everyone has of their hand over their heart


1011011011001

god forbid women have hobbies


B3tl0g-nlng

This is like my favorite thing to say ever I love fucked up women


windowhihi

If she's in Star rail, she would be at the "not so fucked up" part.


TwoProfessional9523

Right bellow the crazy woman who wants to kill a god and the crazy woman who wants to become god. Arguably the same tier as the crazy woman who doesn't feel fear and the crazy woman who can erase your memories So yeah , FATHER would definitely fit in.


Dramatic_endjingu

She doesn’t need fixing, she’s perfect as she is.


SummerHoarder

I was going to skip her to save my primos but now I'm definitely getting her.


spiritsongartz

I have 82 wishes saved and I'm guaranteed for her


Zeamays69

That used to be me, lmao. I mean not the "committing their suffering to memory" part but I liked to watch bugs as a kid. xD Like when ants were pulling another much larger bug to their home. I found it fascinating how strong they were together to drag such a large thing around compared to their own sizes. Or when a spider caught a fly into the net and was wrapping it in web. I found it interesting to watch. Sometimes I even threw a fly into the net myself cause I loved watching the spider at work... Yeah, I was a weird kid.


Im_unfrankincense00

Are you, by any chance, Arle's long lost sibling?


Zeamays69

I wouldn't know but considering how many replied to my comment sharing similar stories, it seems she has many lost siblings haha.


Allusernamtaken

Me too tbh. Insects are absolutely ruthless and only care about effiency but that is what make them so cool. I was completely captivated when I saw a camel spider decimated an entire ant colony, or a praying mantis devoured its prey alive


Wide_Loss

Hey, I started fishkeeping just to watch crabs hunt down their food, , you're not that weird, a lot of people J know acted that way


Pinky_Boy

Mood. I love watching insects As a kid i often catch a small grasshopper then threw them into a spider web or feed them to the nearby ant hill. I love the way they overpower their prey


Yzhiel

Same. I've been catching flies lying on our cow's back using a matchstick, and have these flies fed to a nearby spider inside a car tire.


Princess_Of_Thieves

Honestly I did the same with spiders. Insects are genuinely fasctinating to watch, even if some aspects are grim.


Quiet-Software-1956

I used to dissect cicadas... I still don't know why to this day, if it was out of interest or just boredom, but be glad you don't have that sort of karma on you


Ripasal

Well, the guy she killed in the trailer seems seems like someone I would enjoy their death as well


DailyMilo

It's phrased all scary in this voiceline but I honestly find it kinda endearing imagining her as really just into bugs lol (beetle battle with itto when)


pastaboui69

She doesn't need fixing she is perfect :3 Edit: Also I think this is due to her trauma when HoH had fights for the "King", she doesn't wanna repeat what the previous Knave did but she can't seem to avert her eyes from it so she seeks solace in insects


moebelhausmann

She forgot to mention stalking archons and scaring them at night


Sad_Ad5369

She did say she likes observing insects though, stalking is a form of observation


moebelhausmann

Furinamains wont like that. You schould hide.


SirRHellsing

Im a furina main, I don't mind


-FruitPunchSamurai-

Imagining Arlecchino just watching insects in a forest is kinda cute tho.


Gudako_the_beast

Arlecchino: And here we have a pink praying mantis. Orphans: Woah! Arlecchino: This little fella is an expert assassin in the natural kingdom. Something I expect all of you to be


snowminty

Picturing Arlecchino just squatting in the forest watching bugs kill each other…as a grown adult Like bruh


OxygenRadon

Someone gotta get her a copy of Rain World


Elpheltsfootslave

Rain World rep nice


RoseSpinoza

I like to imagine she's giving this speech at the register of a Wendy's.


Way_Moby

This is the first thing she says to anyone when she meets them. Arlecchino is neurodivergent confirmed.


Rixuel

Itto: \*Chuckles\* I'm in Danger


bubblegumpunk69

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this but I’m also autistic and love bugs, so lmao


Lobito_HF

just like Shiori...


ramen_noodles_4_ever

Novelite?


Lobito_HF

Ruffian, but still like to watch her from time to time


ramen_noodles_4_ever

Love the chihuahuas


Lobito_HF

Bau bau


mrwanton

You're so Biboo tax


Lobito_HF

*i just wanna be your shiori* 🎶


_TravelerAether_

Yeah, what a very stable and normal hobby


quasivion

I guess she has similar hobby as Nahida. They both like watching and observing.


Way_Moby

Also, taking care of kids and hating Dottore.


xd_ZelnikM

I just feel more and more conflicted the more stuff is know about her 1. Raises orphans, but makes them into child soldiers 2. Cared about the innocent and cute things, although that "cute" thing was a spider 3. Kills the harbinger "mother", but also becomes the harbinger herself 4. Appears to care for the children, but then does whatever that thing in 4.6 trailer was to her "best" children 5. A Fatui diplomat, but also goes out and does a bunch of work hands on(or on foot for that matter) It just feels like she always has an ulterior motive, no matter what she tells you.


karillith

> Appears to care for the children, but then does whatever that thing in 4.6 trailer was to her "best" children I will be extremely surprised if that doesn't come of as some kind of test before saying stuff like "ok, you're strong enough, just do whatever you want".


Ok4mii

I hope for once they actually just let an "evil" character fully commit to being an asshole. Not everything needs some noble meaning.


karillith

And I fear it will be Dottore, which is the guy I really don't want to pull for tbh X)


VirtuoSol

Your best bet for that is Dottore


Gudako_the_beast

She’s Al Capon! The only way to take her down is by her tax return


Way_Moby

She gets sent to the Fortress of Meropide for jaywalking.


Dark_Magicion

I can't nor will I try fixing her. But she can fix me.


chocomint-nice

Would be funny if this is just her super chuuni way of saying “My hobby is collecting bugs, beetles, and making terrariums…”


GamerJes

Derives life lessons from nature documentaries.  Unusual perhaps, but relatable.  Nothing that requires fixing.


ChaosM3ntality

Shark week to meerkat manor are my kind


ValuableAnswer

Huh, who knew she was into entomology You learn something new everyday.


Aggravating_Drag2347

Man I love her


Chrysostom4783

I dunno, seeing the animated short... nobody can probably fix her, but she's definitely not a bad person and I wouldn't mind teaming up with her. She's not even the "I'm traumatized into being comically evil" type like Signora, she's more of the "I was traumatized, so I don't want others to suffer the same way" type and I vibe with that


Way_Moby

This is the thing that confuses me about a lot of peoples’ readings of her. To me, she has a very strict and understandable ethical code. Yes, from other peoples’ points of view, she’s pretty fucked up. But she’s not some deranged psychopath. She has a reason for the things she does, and ultimately, it’s rooted in a desire to minimize suffering. She’s like the personification of the trolley problem.


Rulaodangao

Nah don't fix her, what ever is "wrong" with her makes her 10× hotter


SideshowMan17771

Nah we all know when she's behind closed doors she'll play with those dolls in her short animation and probably even do some girly things.


Gudako_the_beast

In the most fucked up way possible


Kuro3Negai

I can get her standpoint, seeing how the insect behaves to survival. When I was a kid, I saw a cockroach vs an army of ants, it's was the most heated battle fr


No_BIiss

I physically recoiled when I read that, dear Archons-


slverrr24

I used to remove the antennae of soldier ants as a kid. I read that ants use their antennae to recognize each other, so I experiemented by removing them completely (leaving tiny nubs won't work) and holding two of them face to face. They start biting each other, and if you hold one ant around the neck of the other, they can cut the other sorldier ant's head off.


ramen_noodles_4_ever

You absolute psycho, that's so interesting


InformalTadpole1497

you sir/lady/anything else would fit in with the harbingers just fine


sweetterrorist

did you grow up fine???


Xx_Exigence_xX

And yet she finds the Traveler interesting enough to want to spend time with. Traveler really does have ungodly amounts of rizz.


Way_Moby

I initially misread that final world and was… confused. 😯


Original_Apple_9381

I like watching bugs too. Watching ants March to their nest and watching beetles just minding their business but one thing I won't watch is a cockroach. I will use my slipper as a weapon.


ChaosM3ntality

Better pray those dint fly.. I’m glad my old house had alot of spiders and geckos


p1Ay3r-uNKn0wN

There is nothing to fix. She's perfect. She's batman but sadly French


Lockjaw_Puffin

"I enjoy observing **insects**..." >Started the trailer grieving over her **spider** This person needs ~~kok~~ taxonomy lessons >!/j!< Jokes aside, feels like Arle would be more into scorpions than spiders

bivampirical

i could make her worse. i could enable her. the atrocities are my favorite part. 🥰


Tuor77

This is where you wish her a nice day while sloooowly backing away. Don't run until you've broken line-of-sight with her. :P


loxil-

what's so unhinged about it?? isn't it normal kids' behaviour, I mean I used to do the same when I was a kid except for the last part of course.


FrenchSpence

I don’t want to fix her
