Me, Myself, but Not I: Why Scaramouche Is (Still) Genshin's Greatest Character

this is effectively as long as a college thesis paper. glad to be receiving my degree in genshin impact anemo angst lore

still managed to get this out before the 4.4 update! i started writing this script all the way before fontaine came out, but put it aside to focus on that story as it was coming out. i've been wanting to make a kind of video essay analysis thing like this for ages too. so i'm so happy to see this finally completed!! scaramouche wanderer kunikuzushi raven way is my guy of all time.
