I am not sorry for the person I will become once scaramouche is realeased from the hoyoverse unplayable basement.
You know you've lost it when you go to sleep thinking about scaramouche and wake up thinking of potential artifact combinations that would be good on him

Fatui gift exchange
Scaramouche: okay so if anyone draws their own name, we’ll all draw again
Dottore: cool
Signora: okay
Childe: what if we draw someone else’s name?
Dottore: that’s fine right? yeah
Scaramouche: that’s good, that’s what we want
Signora: what if we pick someone that we don’t like?
Childe: it’s just the four of us. do you dislike one of the four of us?
Signora: no no no. *nods her head and points to childe*
Childe: …what if we pick someone who we don’t know?
Signora: yeah what if we get a slip and it’s like Albedo Krendinprinz from Mondstat?
Scaramouche: that will not happen
Dottore: how can you be sure though?
Signora: i like Albedo well enough i just would have no idea what to get him for a gift
Scaramouche: okay so there’s only four names and it’s our four names so everyone just pick one and-
Signora: i’m worried that if i get Albedo the wrong thing, he’ll think that i’m a loser
Childe: aw really? you’re worried about that?
Signora: i’m serious i’m nervous about it
Childe: i’m sure you’ll get him the perfect thing
Signora: thanks that means a lot
Childe: i wouldn’t say it if i didn’t mean it
Scaramouche: does everyone have a slip? did anyone pick themself?
Signora: i got Childe
Scaramouche: no don’t-
Childe: i got Dottore
Dottore: guys! it’s suppose to be secret
Scaramouche: thank you!
Dottore: you’re not suppose to look at the name
Childe: ohhh
Scaramouche: well you’re allowed to- you can read your own slip
Dottore: oh. okay i got Scaramouche
Scaramouche: dude
Signora: i wish i would’ve gotten Scaramouche
Childe: what the hell?!
Signora: i don’t know if this is coming together
Dottore: i’m probably just going to get a gift for Albedo Krendinprinz from Mondstat to be safe
Childe: since my slip says Dottore does that mean he’s the one who helps me figure out what to get Albedo Krendinprinz from Mondstat?

image ID under cut
[Image ID: A digital drawing of Scaramouche / Wanderer from Genshin Impact done with bright, oversaturated colours. He is only visible from the shoulders up and is looking over his shoulder at the viewer. He has a short jellyfish cut, that is half cut sharply just below his ears, with the hair underneath continuing down his neck and not quite reaching his shoulders. (apologies if this isn't a very good description) His hair is a dark navy colour and is parted in the middle with a few strands falling over his forehead. He is wearing his in game playable outfit. The only visible parts are his black sleeveless/shoulderless turtleneck and thick white jacket. Only the collar of the shirt can be seen as the rest is covered by the jacket. He is depicted post the Sumeru archon quest and has cracks on his face, one noticeably crossing the eye closest to the viewer and trailing down to his jaw. He has a peaceful expression on his face and makes eye contact with the viewer. The picture is drawn in cool colours with neon blue lighting coming from the right and neon yellow lighting coming from the right. The background is light teal and there are some sparkles around him. Below the image in the text box is the word 'wanderer' with shooting stars w/.End ID]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCARA!!!




*offers you this with no context and leaves*




Talking lessons
(Pierro is not Kaeya's bio dad HC/Fatui adopt Kaeya AU) There is a reason why Kaeya doesn't speak in front of others for a long time.
Context/lore:
In this AU, Kaeya came to Teyvat with limited knowledge in Teyvat's common language. Most of the words he knows are outdated, and he's more proficient in reading and writing rather than listening and talking.
Pierro push Kaeya to study hard so he can listen and speak fluently. He brings him to meetings so Kaeya can experience real-life verbal conversations and told him to remember or note down words that he doesn't understand to ask Pierro later.
It takes Kaeya a long time to actually starts talking to someone other than Pierro because both of them are perfectionists lmao. It would be easier if Kaeya has someone around his age to talk with (like Diluc in the canon universe), but in this building, only Pierro and the Tsaritsa knows how to speak Khaenri'ahn fluently

Take a nap
(Pierro is not Kaeya's bio dad/Fatui adopt Kaeya AU) I am coping from Scaramouche lore, so here's sleepy bois taking a nap :) Don't worry, Kaeya would wake up from his nap <3


(Fatui Adopt Kaeya AU) Experienced
In which Kaeya took a nice dip into a lake on his recent mission and caught a nasty cold <3 Scaramouche is not amused (and Pierro gives up trying to give him the explanation).
No tragedy happened that night!

drawing this puppet twink is fun
(and for the whump lovers out there: yes, that one string/cable is attached to his neck)

more scaramouche stuff,,, he's just so fun to draw
Winter in Snezhnaya
Scaramouche x Reader
Scenario: You accompanied him to Snezhnaya, but much to Scaramouche's dismay, a certain ginger harbinger has come along as well. And the familiarity between him and you is testing Scaramouche's last nerves.

The Zapolyarny Palace towers behind you in all its imposing might, radiating glory and power. Somewhere within its walls, Scaramouche is trapped in yet another assembly with the other harbingers, while you are out here, walking along the edge of the winter forest.
Though you’ve accompanied Scara down to Snezhnaya and are a welcomed guest in the Tsaritsa’s palace during your stay, you find yourself turning restless rather quickly.
It’s obviously cold as shit up here, and darkness falls early, but as you stroll along the icy path, the moonlight reflects off the snow, making your surroundings shimmer like something straight out of a fairy tale.
Suddenly, a fox approaches you, showing no signs of fear or reserve. That’s another curious thing you’ve noticed around here, just how unusually amiable the animals are.
You rummage through the pockets of your coat, pulling out some nuts you’ve been carrying for that exact reason. You toss them into the snow in front of the fox.
The snow crunches as you kneel down to watch the animal feed on its newfound food in delight. Like it is used being fed in this city and knows exactly where to get what it wants.
“You’re going to spoil the wildlife if you keep on feeding every stray you come across!”
At the sound of his voice, you rise back from the ground, turning to see Scaramouche approaching. He stops a few feet in front of you, hands stuffed into his winter coat, the harbinger sigil prominently displayed.
“You’re already done for today?” You ask, giving him a subtle once-over.
Scaramouche crosses his arms and clicks his tongue in disapproval. “Fortunately, that was the last assembly for a while. One more day with these morons, and I promise, heads will be rolling.”
His eyes shift to the fox on the ground before they settle back on you. He raises an eyebrow. “Are you really so keen on catching a cold for the sake of some mutt?”
“It’s a fox, first of all,” you defend both yourself and the animal, unfazed by his demeanor. “And second, don’t pretend like you weren’t making eyes at that stray cat on our balcony last night.”
He scoffs, disdain evident on his face. “Yeah, of course. Seems like the cold ist really getting to your head.”
Not feeling particularly defeatist today, you decide to drop the subject (because you know exactly what you saw) and change the topic. “When will we go back home, then?”
But before Scara even opens his mouth, another jolly voice joins you. “Home already? What a shame!”
You can practically feel Scaramouche's whole demeanor dropping with irritation, rivaling the frigid temperatures. “Someone, have mercy on me,” he mutters darkly under his breath as Childe approaches you both.
Childe is wearing a suspiciously wide grin on his face as he deliberately ignores Scaramouche and puts his entire attention on you instead. “You should stay a few more days and enjoy Her Majesty’s hospitality to the fullest. I promise, you’ll love it.”
Scara’s jaw tightens at the familiarity between the both of you and if he weren’t bundled in his coat, you would be able to see a pulsing vein on his neck. “Shouldn't you be busy mopping the Tsarita’s ballroom or something, Childe?”
The 11th harbinger shoots him a grin. “Why, and miss all the fun of bidding you guys goodbye? You wound me.”
Then the ginger’s focus shifts back to you, making Scramouche’s eyebrow successfully twitch. “Truly, y/n, your absence will be felt not only by the hungry animals around here but I too will miss your lovely presence. What a joy it is to witness you making our balladeer here hot and bothered in a way I’m not quite used to seeing.”
You frown, but amusement twinkles in your eyes nevertheless, being used to his antics. “Thanks, Childe. It was very nice to see Snezhnaya for myself.”
“You’re welcome here anytime, my dear.” Childe chuckles, placing a friendly hand on your shoulder, but that’s when whatever little patience Scaramouche had left drains away for good. He steps in between you, his gaze deadly and fixed. “Touch her again, and I’ll end you.”
A bold, delighted laugh escapes Childe, clearly aware of the effect his words and actions have on his comrade. He lifts his hands in defeat. “Ahh, finally! I’d love a good fight with you, my friend.”
Scaramouche lets out a dry chuckle, but there’s no humor in his eyes. His fingers twitch, ready for some action. “It’s on then. I’ve been waiting for this day for long enough.”
Meanwhile, you have to suppress a groan. This has been going on all week, them breathing down each other’s neck the whole bloody time. How do these people even get any work done with the way they hate each other’s guts?
You step to the side, Scara’s eyes immediately following you. But you put on a mock-serious face, clasping your hands together. “What a fabulous idea, boys! We can finally settle this like the big grown adults we are, right? You do that - but if you’ll excuse me, I'm heading back to my warm, comfy bed.”
“Don’t you worry.” Childe laughs, amusement dancing in his eyes. “We’re just messing around, isn’t that right, Scaramouche?”
A cold smile spreads across your lover’s face as he regards Childe with a deadly look. “No, please, go on. Keep testing me. See how far it gets you.”
“Now, don’t sound so detesting; I might start to think you don’t like me.”
“Sucks to be you, then, doesn’t it.”
Childe responds to that with nothing more than a shit-eating grin. He turns to you, his face smug, and you can basically feel the headache forming.
“Write to me, alright? And keep me updated on what Mr. Sunshine over here is up to. I barely get to see him these days.” He begins to step back towards the city entrance, but not without shooting you one last wink. “Too occupied with his honeymoon phase, huh?”
“I’m gonna murder you.”
You gently grab Scara’s hand, in an attempt to ground him - or to stop him from causing the Tsaritsa to lose yet another Harbinger.
And he does stay by your side. His fingers soothingly tracing along your wrist before slipping between your own. He turns to you, his anger still radiating from him, but upon seeing your amused look, he scoffs and looks away.
“You’re in way over your head.”
“Am I?” You muse. “Or is someone a bit possessive because of Childe as of now?”
He locks eyes with you, daring you to continue.
“What? Now i can’t tease you after having to suffer through your constant bickering with each other our entire time here?”
“We weren’t-” he starts, but clearly thinks better of it and sighs, a hand running through his hair in annoyance.
“You were saying something about a bed?”
“Mhm. Want to share?”
“You better.”
