when they give you the amount you have to pay at the end of your medical appointment and you have to pretend like you're not going to use that receipt as your suicide note

#past that point any social interaction happening in that room im full on smiling comedia dell'arte mask dead in the eyes

Thinking about the Comedia dell'arte

#this is for fanfic and hc reasons #genshin impact to be more specific #genshin impact #bc all fatui harbingers are based off stock characters in the Comedia dell'arte #im not sorry #your local enigma #this is engima thoughts #genshin

[txttletale]

of all the characters in disco elysium i think its interesting that cuno/cunoesse and evrart have weirdly taken on the most, like, comedia dell'arte stock character status, probably because their speech patterns are so distinct and immediately recognizable

childe, tartaglia, ajax: a man of many names

↪ childe, noun, a young man of noble birth

childe, was the name you first knew him as. after all it was the name most used within the fatui. casual and pleasant, thats what you came to know him as. a real funny guy, could make friends anywhere, a one dimensional nice guy. yet as work conversations became private, and meetings became hangouts you came to know more of childe.

you were enjoying spending time with a harbinger, you knew he was. the 11th harbinger, a killing machine owned and controlled by the tsaritsa. yet as you store into his eyes, his coy grin and the way his freckles contorted when he laughed, you couldnt ever guess that who he was supposed to be.

~

"comrade i think we are heading the wrong way." , he grimaced looking at the run down alley in front of you.

you looked down at the map, and then at the alley ahead, "childe... based on instructions alone, i believe this is it."

and so you walked, close together weapons in hand. down a run down alley, in a gang ridden part of town.

"scared for your life are you?", you looked the other way but his tone implied a heavy grin.

you squinted your eyes trying to focus in the dark, "no? are you?"

"you know comrade, around these parts there are several snakes to be lurking around...", he paused cautiously, "their venom can kill 30 men in one minute."

you shivered, his comments were not helping with the mood.

"its dark, so it should be the prime time for snakes to search for prey," his voice sullen in tone, "and when you least expect them to... they strike at you and pierce your skin and you die terrifically!"

you felt something touching your leg and you jumped up, a meek scream coming out of your mouth. your eyes widened as you heard laughs, laughs... as you looked down in the complete darkness. but there was nothing and didn't see any snakes, but you definetly did see the boisterous face of your team member.

you were definetly going to kill him now.

↪ tartaglia, italian for stutterer, most commonly a "comedia dell'arte" character

"tartaglia, huh?" you punched him, a form of banter between you two, "how fancy of you."

he sighed a hand over his chest, "its a title, a badge of honor to my affiliation with the tsaritsa."

you could never understand him, "so much for the tsaritsa is it ?"

he furrowed his brows at you, "just because you don't understand my dedication, doesn't mean everyone does. i do it for myself foremost, for my country and for my family."

"its alright tarti, man its alright", you put a friendly hand on his shoulder.

his face changed colors and he clenched his fists while raising his voice, "hey don't you ever call me that, that is not ever okay!"

you could only smile at him.

~

tartaglia, a government name or a work alias. a more formal name, used within business transactions and deals. accompanied with the glamourous, "11th harbinger" title and being a title in its own right.

the name was dangerous, scary and frankly powerful. a name which invokes fear in the hearts of enemies, but you could never see him as such. so much for being a man of many faces, you werent going to deny his battle prowess, but you werent going to deny his good humour either.

he was a good man, a killing machine but a good man. being a family man, he talked of his siblings in a land far away. a good ally, being present in every meeting and leading with an iron fist. a good friend, a best friend, for everyone and especially for you.

↪ ajax, a strong and brave hero from greek myth

his name, his real name. only ever known to the people closest to him. few fallen friends, his family, the harbingers... that was the extent of who knew his name.

identities were a big deal within the fatui, you knew the fact and so did he. was it intentional ? the more you thought of it the more it drove you crazy. ajax, a semi common name in snezhnaya, but it meant so much more when you thought of ajax, your ajax.

did you even have a right to call him yours ? you didnt even know.

~

"you were looking for me ? ", ajax called amongst the crowd, sticking his hand out as you say him a few meters away from you.

the crowd was pushing and your time was ticking. your mission was due and your boat would leave. lateness was not rewarded within your line of work, and you were bound to be shipped off far away. far away, to a place where you wouldnt see him, you wouldnt tell him what you wanted, what you felt.

"yes! but its too late!", you were pushed and pulled and squished, but you made your way through, you had to.

"it didnt matter anyways, dont worry about it! get off me!" you bumped against someone.

"i know its late, i know everything's not the way i wanted it and i had everything planned out i promise, but-" ajax screamed out, "i love you, i-, hey back off!"

grunting and curses in a language you didnt understand was heard across a multitude as you digested, what was admitedly a surprise to you.

you felt two familiar arms grip your shoulder, as he pushed strangers out of the way. you looked at him as he did the same and you couldn't describe it but he looked beautiful.

you loved him, loved the way he smiled. tbe way he laughed when you teased him, the way his eyes lit up when he pulled a prank on you. in that moment his eyes looked like those of a man in love, his smile lines present in the soft smile he gave you. his freckles, his eyes, he looked gorgeous.

"i love you too, a..", it slipped out, slipped out when you least wanted it to. you could say so much more, but you couldn't, "lot actually."

he was right in front of you and he looked gorgeous, even more so when he put his forehead against yours and he rubbed your nose against his.

"you can send cards while youre away, i dont care. take pictures will you ?" his eyes softened and he looked you straight in the eyes.

the word spread and you could hear it, ten minutes until the last passanger could board. the crowd cleared and you could see him.

ajax, your ajax.

he raised your hand and he pressed a single kiss before looking at you warmly, "better leave you know."

you nodded quickly and he chuckled nervously, "so letters ?"

he nodded as he started walking away, "letters."

Ruby and do theater improv performance all day every day to amuse ourselves in a way that is highly evocative of comedia dell'arte (types of characters with assigned speech patterns for all situations) but we also do original singing and dances constantly we would be so intensely cringe to any normal young person but we are really having fun all the time honestly

[misio-dangisio]

I didn't drew pinocchinktober today but instead I drew a clown puppet I added the jester look to original Arlecchino

It would be funny if Pinocchio was the only puppet whose nose grew I mean Buratino's nose don't grow

I've never seen Comedia del arterte but I wanna see it someday

...I wish I could speak Italian

Use this ask to talk about any ideas you have, either an AU or a personal proyect :D

IM MAKING A VIDEOED GAME !!! VISUAL NOVEL BASED OFF COMMEDIA DELL'ARTE called... drumroll.... comedia de paloma!

It’s like a very pantomime pierrot/harlequin/pierrette centric dating sim. except it’s not a dating sim because I’m weird and silly (and aromantic). Also, they’re inhuman clown creature things because . its me eyenaku

The Player will be a ~college age student studying pantomime history n such (can think ab this more later) who somehow ends up in this weird silly place? dimension? world? that she end up stuck in. You (paloma) get mistaken for the missing columbine n have to deal with 3 melodramatic idiot (/aff) clown things that may or may not be "scary" things shoved in weird puppet shells for no reason other than that it looks cool. prerhaps its all a weird stayed-up-too-late-writing-your-thesis induced dream

pierrot is sopping wet sad crying ALL THE TIME... crying weird swamp water tears that smell like circus peanuts all over the floor everywhere. i love him. he's short

pierrette is like. melodramatic. too melodramatic. she sits on air dramatically sighing and wistfully talking at nothing. she sounds like she's reading poetry but there's no poetry. and no audience. what is she doing? idk. i love her tho

harlequin is dramatic in the other direction. he's so cringefail and tries desperately to have rizz but is just. so lame. all the time. he pulls stuff outta hammerspace. he's like wall-e at the start of wall-e he's just bad /aff

I'm gonna make it in ren'py! I'm makin hella concept art rn and im STRUGGLING when it comes to harlequin

this game has masks, it has stupidity, it has pantomime and commedia info. it's silly. i hope i actually finish it dshajkjhDK

#eyenaku #ask #comedia de paloma #pierrette would ask if u would still love her if she was a worm #harlequin would tape a rose to his mask #theyre so stupid to me i love them #harlequin would not know what to do if u ever did anything abt him being stupid tho #he means nothing its all actions to him #silly guy...

[exporius]

Im looking into the characters of comedia dell'arte and noticed the difference between harlequins and jesters. I originally went searching about jesters cuz i was planning a whole au(again) and i saw how harlequins grow into a romantic character. And i was pondering the the idea of whether the daycare attendant was a jester or harlequin. But now im more confused and see them acting more like a harlequin(arlechino) rather than a jester. Perhaps im reading their characters a little wrong; theres not a lot of content of them for me to really compare and contrast:( but i like the idea of them having this more dramatic and deeper character than just some jester. Perhaps they were more of a jester in their days in the spotlight.

Call my girlfriend Comedia Dell'arte the way she was the first to slap on my stick

[hyrule-warriors]

it's like soo obvious that the unraveled video on fire emblem was more made because three houses came out and Polygon noticed fe stocks were up opposed to bdg actually liking fire emblem lol but I still think his comparison to comedia dell'arte was so apt. Because people who make fire emblem fan games love this kind of shit. You see a character with purple hair and a monocle and you just fucking know that bitch is a scholarly dark mage who hates that their magic is so stigmatized and wants to educate others. It's so good

*me, rambling on about Deadpool as I do*

My friend: He kinda sounds like a Comedia dell'arte character almost, doesn't he? Like one of those tragicomic charicatures from old-fashioned theater.

Me:...you're a genius (and also I'm now thinking about Lestat and realizing that Wade is possibly a comfort character because he was already familiar to me. Whoopsie)

#deadpool #vampire chronicles #I like only about 5 character types apparently and they all exist in the vampire chronicles somewhere lol

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde but comedia dell'arte.
