I was researching Pierro for my Fatui!OC and came upon his Commedia dell'Arte counterpart, Pierrot. There is a musical series dedicated to him named “Pierrot Lunaire” and the first of the songs is named “Mondestrunken” and here is the lyrics:
The wine which through our eyes we drink
Pours from the moon in waves upon us
And like a springtide
Overflows the stillness of the night.
Desires so thrilling and so sweet,
Cascading through the floods in thousands:
The wine which through our eyes we drink,
Pours from the moon in waves upon us.
The writer, so divinely moved,
Is greedy for the holy liquid,
And skyward he directs his dizzy head,
Then reeling, gulps and slurps down
The wine which through our eyes we drink.
Mondstadt is no stranger to being perceived as our gateway to Celestia, with this— is it possible that Genshin linked the plotline to some of Commedia dell'Arte's scenes? PS. There's also a part entitled “Colombine”.
