r/PantaloneMains

I'll staaaaart Pantalone has a cursed soul sorry I'm so attracted the idea that the man called "manifestation of God" has a cursed soul and that is why nothing divine recognizes him I believe the last time Genshin addressed something like this was in the Asmoday Backrooms where they literally rob you of your ambition preventing you from ever having a vision but after that I don't recall any cases of people whose ambition cursed by the divine many link him to Ronova but has she cursed again since kaenri'ah? mmmm not reallyyyy

I mean maybe nothing will happen and it will just they didn't give it one because they simply didn't consider he important but cmon that guy went through everything you're going to tell me that after +400 years of dottore medical records no divine being saw him???mmmmm I think something happened there mmmm

Idk still just a theory but I feel it's much more interesting that Feofan hates Morax because of Reed Miller's ideology that simply because he hated his archon (In my opinion somewhat boriiiiing)... I see a lot of people sad that he's not from Liyue but it didn't affect me that much or hardly at all

A friend really likes the idea of Feofan Cryo Archon and I’ve been thinking about how his personality would affect that role tbh

I imagine he wouldn’t be a cold ruler in the usual sense, but someone emotionally repressed who values control and sacrifice mmmm I don't know, but since Cryo is about preservation, I can understand that view knowing how well Feofan preserves the economy???? It all started because it's not so fun to think of him as Geo Archon anymore, knowing that he doesn't come from Liyue after all.. I mean, I feel like it's crazy, but I like the idea of an albino Feofan with fairy ears daaaamn

It's not over. I know there's a lot of overlap between dottore fans and pantalone fans, but PLEASE know that this doesn't mean it's happening again. His ID is formatted the same as sandrone's was at the beginning of nod krai. Yes, his icon is an NPC 3D render, and he doesn't use the standard playable male model (at least in the face), but keep in mind genshin has been slowly diversifying their models, with the biggest examples being Varka and Alice who have very unique models for playable characters.

And, even if he's not playable, that doesn't necessarily mean he'll die. He's not the type to sacrifice himself, and he's also not the type to go crazy with power like dottore did and become a boss. He's important enough that they foreshadowed him in 6.6, they even hyped him up a bit as "mystery man", using his connection to dottore to reintroduce him to people who may have forgotten him.

As for his popularity, ignoring the fact that his insta reel got over a million views, I don't think it matters that much. Sandrone was one of the least popular harbingers before she appeared in nod krai, often ranking the same or below pantalone, and look at where she's at now that she's gotten to be fleshed out as a character. Pantalone is already starting to gain traction.

PLEASE don't doompost just yet. I mean this out of concern for everyone's happiness, but also out of my genuine belief that it's still way too early to call it.

So, I know many of them are shit posting and it's for fun and all, but there are some very delusional takes that I can't just understand.

Btw, English is not my first language, if some parts are not clear, I apologize and I don't mind clearing things up at all.

There are lots of overlapping between Dottore and Pantalone fans, which makes sense because these two are paired up since 2022 (Scara voicelines and Comedia) but as I said, some takes are very weird and it just doesn't fit Pantalone and his relationship with Dottore at all:

1- "He will find a way to bring Dottore back" Nope he won't. He didn't try to stop him AT ALL. Dottore wanted to go through with his plan and there were no desperate attempts to stop him by Pantalone, he respected his choice and wasn't that sad when he said goodbye. He accepted it and dealt with it, he won't try to find a way to bring him back especially if it puts him against the mc. Also both him and Dottore emphasized that this is the end for him so 😬

2- "I hope he's mean to Traveller because of their involvement in Dottore's death" He won't be. Maybe teasing and passive aggressive at worst but that's it. He's a smart man and even tho He has just a few years left, he won't speed it up. Also I don't want him to stay unplayable by being a full time enemy to traveller. Basically, everyone who messes with Traveller dies so I don't know if I want him to go against them. Besides, that man has already threw Dottore under the boss to save himself, why on earth would he be mean to someone who can probably kill him without much effort 😭😭😭 and if he becomes playable I'm sure he'll be friendly with the traveller so him throwing hands with them over Dottore won't make sense from playability perspective.

Also, I don't see why and how he could bring back Dottore. As Pantalone said, he's the only one who can do it. I know some people think Mitya somehow will help with this but that's the most far fetched thing I've ever heard.

I know these two are very intertwined, from Zandik's name meaning to Pantalone's constellation to how their back designs literally create a spine, but you're looking at them from a healthy and loving relationship point of view. They are not healthy people, they are a selfish and very transactional couple and even tho I truly believe they care about each other, I don't think any of them would ever put the other one above themselves.

3- "They're married because of the ring" well im sorry to break it to you but rings aren't just for marriage, and the chances of hoyo spawning some unknown woman to be his wife/late wife is more than this. Not to mention that Dottore doesn't wear such a thing.

As I said, I know many of them are silly takes but I've talked to people who genuinely believe in these things and they get aggressive when I disagree with what they say. That's why I created an account here to talk about my thoughts bc it seemed like the most normal one?I don't mind counter arguments AT ALL and I actually would enjoy a discussion about this. So feel free to comment!
