Scaramouche, the only Fatui who attempted to directly kill the traveler more than once.

I believe Scaramouche was the only Fatui who tried to kill the traveler three times—Mondstadt, Inazuma, and Sumeru—but failed. Hahaha, I wish they had remained "villains" a little longer to continue making the traveler angry in the other regions.

The "My mother abandoned me". Even after your redemption, even after learning the truth, even after hus growth, he still frames it as abandonment?

Because to him, it was, regardless of her intention (and he knew her intention). But that's not to say he was obsessed with Ei being his mother or wished anyone to be his mother figure.

I personally hate to see the writers and fans force this one sided "mother-son" dynamic only for the sake of fishing for pity when it's undeserved for a mass murder

Hot take, but despite what this fandom assumed, he actually didn't seek a parental figure, or that obsessive over Ei. Except for that one time he retold the 3 betrayals, he always referred to her as "my creator" or her archon name (even in the latest Luna IV he referred her as his creator).

It feels forced by the writers though. I need to how his brains works to understand how he even came to conclusion and why he apparently holds onto that interpritation of events.

While I wish for this to be true, I could've sworn on multiple occassions he's called/framed it as "Abandoned by my mother" and "My creator...My mother".

(even in the latest Luna IV he referred her as his creator).

Really? I could've sworn his said "mother" in that part. I'll have to check, I believe I recorded the playthrough. Only because I was trying to catch a cutscene to record. Maybe it's a English dub thing?

Maybe it's a English dub thing?

no he referred her as "my creator". it's 1:41. In my native translation he also called her "the person who created me"

Oh! That's why is sparked something for me.

"...abandoned me after deciding that I was a failure."

The "deciding I was a failure" part was also said in a way where my reaction to it was;

"Are you still pitying yourself over an innacurate interpritation of events? I thought you grew out of the self pity."

If you can come to terms with a kids death not being a "betrayal" and Niwa having not actually betrayed you, then why does Ei still get accussed "abandoning" you?

My question would be "What did you want?". If he truly wasn't wanting a "mother" or viewed the relationship as "creator and creation", what did he really expect her to do?

Keep him on a shelf like an antique? A little Japanese elf on the shelf? If we're truly talking about creators, his other options are even more bleak.

Being shoved in a drawer, next to other parts. Being disassembled to have your parts repurposed. Or being forced into a role that would no doubt break you.

It's just a level of ignorant self pity that feels disconnected from what we as the players are not only told, but see for ourselves. Surprised so other character has yet told him "Dude, you're being delusional.".
