She should buy a flying motorbike from Xilonen!
Bashames_Rice_Bowl2026-01-08 15:05
She would be the richest person in Tevyat if she sold that bike to everyone. Imagine all archons and columbina falling from the skies on flaming bikes
shiningmuffin2026-01-08 15:35
*xilonen’s desperate plea for day off noises*
TetraNeuron2026-01-09 10:13
Xilonen: I think you should give Aino & Sandrone Natlan citizenship for ... reasons
scarletfloof2026-01-08 16:07
I think rest is far more important to her than wealth at that point
erosugiru2026-01-08 17:06
She'd sooner end herself than make more than one
DragonfruitTrue24852026-01-09 07:43
Xilonen the scrap metal archon 💛
PandiTati2026-01-08 13:40
Durin is fatui as well, the identity of the lost 10th Harbinger is found
d-the-luc2026-01-08 13:43
I was enlightened that Fatui means Fool, not Stupid. I will correct it on my next post
AlaindeshoGT2026-01-08 13:43
Columbina barely was a Fatui. All she did there was singing and pissing off Sandrone
I wouldn't call her a Fatui
PandiTati2026-01-08 13:54
Read the flair and then the post body
AlaindeshoGT2026-01-08 13:57
Why do you think i didn't read it?
I didn't, but that''s not important
AnaYuma2026-01-08 14:01
OP is referencing a meme here..
Fatui means "Fools"
OP is changing the "Why doesn't he/she do \*\*\*insert obvious thing\*\*\*? Is he/she stupid?" meme to "is he/she fatui?" version....
PandiTati2026-01-08 14:03
We are never beating the reading comprehension allegations, *sigh*
d-the-luc2026-01-08 18:21
like that man couldn't be bothered to read a 5-word sentence and then one more word. literally HOW. I feel like you can understand so little words by taking a glance while you're scrolling away anyway. I cant imagine him trying to understand the story. like i think he wants a character that's only piece of dialouge is "Hello my name is Defooth, I'm a tour guide" who later just fucks off into Fontaine never to be seen again. that's his dream character
I wouldn't be surprised if he thinks the traveler's name is Genshin Impact because "WhY sHOuLD I ReAD bEyOnd tHe TiTle??!!1??!"
sufferIhopeyoudo2026-01-08 14:36
Because he’s making a pun about how fatui
Means fool or stupid in Latin and she has wings but doesn’t fly so “what is she stupid or something” but you missed the joke because you got triggered by the fact she left that bum organization lol
d-the-luc2026-01-08 18:11
this reminds of Dean Takahashi. it reads like his "yeah, I took 30 minutes to beat the the cuphead tutoriel and then lost to first boss anyway and then just looked up its story to write about that on the Game Journal I released instead, why is it important that i beat the game?"
d-the-luc2026-01-08 19:49
please don't mind this unrelated question, but have you heard of a place called Elementary School?
OneHitSkill2026-01-08 14:03
This is comedy, so it translates to
"Columbina barely was a stupid. All she did there was singing and pissing off Sandrone
I wouldn't call her a stupid"
XD
spartaman642026-01-08 16:40
and being drained as a battery
d-the-luc2026-01-08 18:23
Sandrone drains her on a daily basis
Chance-Maximum-59952026-01-08 13:53
The third Fatui in fact
Corlunae2026-01-08 13:54
Lemme grab the right emote for this.
🤓
Alright, here we go:
If you want to use Fatui here for Columbina as an adjective you would say "fatua" like "Est Columbina fatua?" "Is Columbina foolish?"
One singular member of the Fatui would be called fatuus (or fatua if female) only multiple would be fatui.
Same applies to adepti btw, one adeptus, several adepti.
Dull_Engineering91352026-01-08 14:02
I FEEL ENLIGHTENED *heavenly choirs ig*
THANK YOU GREAT UHH- NERD-? 😭🤔
FallenAngelII2026-01-08 14:27
You have been rendered... non-fatuus.
Corlunae2026-01-08 15:12
One could say he is...sapiens!
Sunsettia2026-01-08 14:37
Ok so riddle me this:
Why didn't the OP use fatua? Is the OP fatua?
Corlunae2026-01-08 15:12
Depends. Is OP female?
d-the-luc2026-01-08 17:58
imagine someone going through my entire comment history just to figure out lol
that would be a very fatui waste of time
Corlunae2026-01-08 20:13
Can already see the headlines: new way to join the fatui uncovered....
Sunsettia2026-01-09 00:31
We found the 10th Harbinger!
reddit_user_sbu2026-01-08 16:05
Dude are you italian? Cause I can’t understand why you know Latin otherwise (I also study it)
spartaman642026-01-08 16:38
not OP but latin was offered as a foreign language in my high school and i took 2 years of it lol
d-the-luc2026-01-08 17:59
at least they're not F*****
Corlunae2026-01-08 23:52
Im not italian, no. I had both latin and ancient greek in school, one for 9 the other for 5 years, after that i studied both languages becoming a teacher. Did my exam, but life put me on a different path sadly. :D
d-the-luc2026-01-08 17:56
very informative! but I think I'll still be using Fatui because it's already little bit rare for someone to know that Fatui means is a latin term. i myself originally thought Hoyoverse came up with the word. it'll even be rarer for someone to know that Fatua is the right word. so i will still use Fatui so that it clicks in right away to people. thank you for not making me fatui
Corlunae2026-01-08 20:18
Ah dont worry. Im not here to lecture. As a fluent latin (and ancient greek) speaker im just finding myself chuckling again and again for all the hints Hoyo places in their games all the time. I just thought some may find the information i granted useful or interesting.
d-the-luc2026-01-08 20:22
I did
Talithea2026-01-08 22:08
As a Romanian, this is absolutely similar to Romanian, with "Este Columbina fatuasă/prostească?". I mean, duh, Romanian also kept 5 of the 6 cases of Latin, sacrificing only ablative.
dragonslayer_1462026-01-08 13:56
Do you think they're named that on purpose.
RoboChrist2026-01-08 14:26
For sure. They're fools for challenging God in a doomed mission of hubris and vanity. No one who gets recruited to the Fatui can say they weren't warned how dumb the plan is.
Or they're trying to reclaim an insult, one of those two.
moopym2026-01-08 15:37
Yes? "Comedia de l'arte " is the main inspiration for the fatui and all the members
Top-Idea-17862026-01-08 16:09
Yes
Considering Pierro, the first fatui, had his warnings against messing with abyssal energy in Khaenriah be ignored in favor of the mage that ranked above him, literally known as "The Wise", it makes sense that he'd call himself and his group "the fools"
CuratoriumOfCats1282026-01-08 19:09
Since no one mentioned it yet, [the Pale Flame set's circlet](https://gi.yatta.moe/en/archive/reliquary/15018/pale-flame) does mention why Pierro chose the name.
I_am_indisguise2026-01-08 14:39
Apart from the joke, let me make your joke baseless.
She did fly in battle with Rerir, that too without wings
She just has wings to Aura farm
spartaman642026-01-08 16:39
or if its like the angels in supernatural the wings are tied to her powers not used for flight
Usual-Rule-21962026-01-09 01:16
In Genshin, it probably is just divine, celestial and heavenly symbolism
d-the-luc2026-01-08 22:15
and to look pretty
which works
she slays
Fadriii2026-01-09 17:31
She also explains that if she tried to fly to the moon she'd just bump her head into the false sky
Lech2D2026-01-08 15:00
I think she just never learned how to fly with wings
Forward_Cheesecake722026-01-08 15:05
The wings is only there to dominate the bottoms
AxShepard2026-01-08 15:17
If we have a literal dragon with visible literal wings who cannot fly with said wings and has to resort to gliders then what's the big surprise here?
LetMetOucHyOURasS2026-01-08 15:29
Most godly characters can fly or walk in the air (heck mavuika can fly faster without her bike lol).
But mostly only in lore.
chickensnacher2026-01-08 15:46
Her wings might be broken.
but in the end she would fly with her perfect wings.
So ideal
starmadeshadows2026-01-09 06:59
I think that would be quite odd.
abstract_canvases2026-01-09 08:58
fly perfect wings
MightyActionGaim2026-01-08 16:09
She didn’t want to hurt Hat Guy’s feeling. Binabina is nice and caring 🫶🏻
spartaman642026-01-08 16:25
she does fly though
d-the-luc2026-01-08 18:24
*without* her wings
spartaman642026-01-08 18:30
yes she can fly without her wings and theres no evidence the wings disable her ability to fly either so she can probably fly with them as well
d-the-luc2026-01-08 18:32
then why *doesn't* she? is she Fatua?
spartaman642026-01-08 18:37
im not sure what you mean considering we havent seen her with the wings in the story yet. did you see a leak that she stops flying when she gets the wings in the story?
d-the-luc2026-01-08 18:48
no, I'm just bringing the post back to being sarcastic. as i intented by typing an /s in there and the fluff tag. you did read those, right? because judging by your replies, you didn't
Shahadem2026-01-08 16:30
Aren't those wings made of light?
d-the-luc2026-01-08 18:36
wait is that true? because I can see how her wings blend with the background
Ragology2026-01-08 16:37
Penguin has entered the chat. Cassowary has entered the chat. Emu has entered the chat.
d-the-luc2026-01-08 18:26
will /s enter the chat?
also this is r/ genshin impact not r/ biology you 🤓
Semyon2026-01-08 17:13
ate too much bread so too fat to fly
d-the-luc2026-01-08 18:25
HSR's Fat Fuck basically but with burgers instead of bread
ThatRandomCanadianV2026-01-08 17:14
Same could be said for Durin… except the Fatui part
Crymsyn_Moon2026-01-08 18:05
Can't wait for the five hundred serious posts complaining about how Columbina uses a glider instead of her own wings to fly.
d-the-luc2026-01-08 18:32
the humble /s:
Crymsyn_Moon2026-01-08 19:54
If you looked at reddit whatsoever during Durin's release you would know those don't exist
d-the-luc2026-01-08 20:14
the /s under my post
Crymsyn_Moon2026-01-08 21:38
Please make sure to add the /s to the four hundred ninty nine posts that don't have a sense of humor coming next week.
leakmydata2026-01-08 19:27
Please custom glider wings for bina
starmadeshadows2026-01-09 07:00

Spina-Di2026-01-08 19:45
She is basically floating all the time if that counts
d-the-luc2026-01-08 19:50

Equal-Rush14142026-01-08 20:30
Same reason she doesn’t use her eyes. Doesn’t need to
Bread34ter2026-01-08 22:25
Yo, post this on r/ThanksCyno
d-the-luc2026-01-08 23:18
yes bread34ter, consider it done
Tzekel_Khan2026-01-09 02:02
I've wanted her for forever but I stopped playing after mualani came out and I was only at the sumeru storyline in msq.
I also have like no pulls. I fear if I try to jump back in I'll just not get her and quit again
FreedomOpposite88472026-01-09 07:00
It makes sence now that you explained the meaning of Fatui...
The prevalence of imbecility amongst the Fatui is, regrettably, not unprecedented
Her wings serve primarily as an ornamental flourish.
Presumably mimicking the Wing Glider Mechanic merely to furnish amusement at our expense....
Pathetic...
I'm surprised you figured out the meaning of Fatui so quickly...
d-the-luc2026-01-09 13:23
do you occasionally regret that English language PhD?
FreedomOpposite88472026-01-10 03:17
Ah, then you must be that ever-complaining companion of the Traveller. Your words flutter like wings without flight — ornamental, but lacking substance. Still, I suppose even such chatter has its place in the grand design.
sil3ntthunder2026-01-09 07:30
I would say it would need more efforts for genshin to make. Like durin or columbina someone should have had flying in the kit with stamina mechanic like natlan has.
Alpacachoppa2026-01-09 08:05
I'm wondering if the wings are included when Teyvat accepts her. So she isn't a moon goddess free levitating anymore but gets wing for the flying bits.
Environmental-Belt492026-01-09 12:52
she's not Flytui.
billypluh2026-01-12 06:07
because bina isnt *ideal* so she cant *fly her wings*

I wouldn't call her a Fatui
I didn't, but that''s not important
