** Expectation vs Reality [[labelnote:Explanation]]Given Pierro has a very unique design, players mocking the reuse of [=NPC=] models and hoyoverse's reluctance to give playable characters a nonstandard body type depict Perrio as a standard tall, aged, male [=NPC=] with a barely fitting mask and cloak.[[/labelnote]]

* '''Pyro Abyss Lector''':
** Chad Pyro Lector [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers!)]]When the Pyro Lector was first announced, players remarked that his pose resembled that of the Chad from the Webcomic/VirginVsChad meme. Such memes were made with the Lector as the Chad and another enemy as the Virgin. When Enkanomiya's world quest was released and its central character Enjou, a Pyro Abyss Lector, became an EnsembleDarkhorse due to his AffablyEvil personality, he was then memed as a chad similar to Scaramouche.[[/labelnote]]
** "Well I mean I totally did betray them" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Enjou says this line in the 2.5 Three Realms Gateway Offering event when he confesses that he betrayed the vishaps to the Traveler. The casual way in which he says it has since made it become his iconic line in the fan base.[[/labelnote]]

* Archon Family[[labelnote:Explanation]]A collection of {{Fanon}} memes based on the supposed dynamics between the Archons and those closely related to them.[[/labelnote]]
** Scaramouche is Ei's Son[[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers!)]]Due to the fact that Scaramouche was one of the first puppets the Raiden Shogun Ei experimented upon for a mortal shell, a lot of fans joked and depicted Scaramouche's relationship with Ei like mother and son, since she is the one that created him. As Ei saw Scaramouche as a failure when he shed tears with the Gnosis inside of him but decided against destroying him, Ei is either depicted as a strict and demanding Asian mother, holding a slipper or coathanger to discipline him, or a [[ParentalNeglect negligent mother]] who isn't very conscious about his needs (memes featuring either of these depictions, but especially the latter, often involve some BlackComedy). This meme ''exploded'' in popularity after it was revealed that Scaramouche actually ''does'' canonically perceive Ei as his mother.[[/labelnote]]
** Ei Chancla[[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]Since Ei is more or less Scaramouche's "mother", many, ''many'' jokes were made about Ei being an AlmightyMom who could/would discipline Scaramouche with her slipper like the unruly kid he is.[[/labelnote]]
** Auntie/Therapist Nahida/Nahida is Scaramouche's new mom[[labelnote:Explanation (Spoilers for Sumeru Archon Quest Act V and Sumeru Archon Quest Interlude!)]]After defeating Shouki no Kami, Nahida opts to take the comatose Scaramouche into her custody and reassures the Traveler that she will ensure that he won't commit any more evil. As this is more care than Ei herself had ever given Scaramouche, the fandom immediately latched onto the idea of the newly christened Wanderer declaring that Nahida is his new mom. This sentiment is further strengthened after Sumeru Archon Quest Interlude, where not only is Nahida one of the few people who remembers him and helps him to move on from his past, he also accepts her offer to stay in Sumeru and help her from behind the scenes.[[/labelnote]]
** Nahida's new pet has an unusually high badness level for his size. [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]] Nahida taking in Scaramouche and reforming him earning numerous comparisons to the titular duo of ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch''.[[/labelnote]]
** Mother, Sister, Aunt, Other Aunt, Stepmother[[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]A meme describing Scaramouche's TangledFamilyTree. Ei is his mother. The Raiden Shogun, being another of Ei's puppet creations, is his younger sister. Makoto is his late aunt, and Yae Miko is his other aunt. And ultimately, Nahida takes him in, making her his stepmother.[[/labelnote]]
** Big Sis Ei[[labelnote:Explanation]] Many fan-artists like to depict Ei as being a CoolBigSis to Nahida, often doting on and displaying affection towards her. This also includes her having a BigSisterInstinct that'll prompt her to harm anyone who hurts Nahida, including the Sages and Scaramouche (the latter coinciding with Ei Chancla). A piece of official art depicting the four current Archons together, in which Ei is giving Nahida a LapPillow, has added fuel to the fire[[/labelnote]]
*** Nahida's the smart one[[labelnote:Explanation]] In line with Ei's DitzyGenius nature, fans also tend to give them a FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling dynamic, with [[WiseBeyondTheirYears Nahida]] typically being depicted as the latter[[/labelnote]]
** The Cooler Uncle [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]] Xiao and Scaramouche have been depicted by the fandom as the sons of Zhongli and Ei respectively, yet both of them received an Anemo Vision - meaning that both boys chose to take after their "uncle" Venti rather than their respective parents.[[/labelnote]]

[[labelnote:Explanation]]An alternative version based on
a mortal shell, a lot of fans joked and depicted Scaramouche's relationship with Ei like mother and son, since she is the one that created him. As Ei saw Scaramouche as a failure when he shed tears with the Gnosis inside of him but decided against destroying him, Ei is either depicted as a strict and demanding Asian mother, holding a slipper or coathanger to discipline him, or a [[ParentalNeglect negligent mother]] who isn't very conscious about his needs (memes featuring either of these depictions, but especially the latter, often involve some BlackComedy).

** Fontaine, Liyue and Sumeru having a border dispute over Petrichor Island [[labelnote:Explanation]]Petrichor being at the intersection of Fontaine, Liyue and Sumeru, and the fact that it's a small island, which are often the result of heavy border disputes in the real world, lead to players joking about the three countries having a border dispute, just like real life countries. Common jokes include "Liyue's Nine Dash Line" or imagining the archons claiming that the piece of land belonged to their respective nations back during the Archon War.[[/labelnote]]

Melromarc]] from ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero''. There's even a similarity to [[spoiler:how both of them die, as they are [[KillItWithFire both burned to death]].]][[/labelnote]]

* Gen**i* Ce**ors*** [[labelnote:Explanation]]Genshin Impact is notorious for its ''comically bad'' censorship algorithm in its online chat function to the point of ''[[SoBadItsGood hilarity]]''. For example, the word "ass" or "hole" is sometimes censored, but the combined swear word "asshole" ''is not''. Sometimes, the censorship gets to the point where even ''[[BleepDammit singular alphabets]]'' (not words, ''[[EpicFail ALPHABETS]]'') are censored, laying the groundwork for some truly [[SpeakingSimlish confusing and nonsensical conversations at times.]][[/labelnote]]

It died in 4.6 with the release of Petrichor, which filled the entire ditto hole and even got rid of the Ditto shape before unlocking the Statue of the Seven there.[[/labelnote]]

* '''Clorinde''':
** Clorinde's shirt [[labelnote:Explanation]]A snapshot taken from the 4.0 Special Program showed [[https://preview.redd.it/6l79v4x3a3gb1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=779086bd5714112d891062a7543afd790d401982 the buttons on Clorinde's shirt straining to contain her ample bosom]]. This quickly blew up into meme material, with various artworks that show her buttons popping off or otherwise showing a considerable gap. Additionally, during Neuvillette's character quest, Clorinde goes with a Melusine to a clothing store where she claims she has to get her own clothes custom-fit, adding fuel to the memes.[[/labelnote]]
** Please crush me too [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the battle with the Gardemeks, Clorinde destroys one of the mechanical soldiers with a [[https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fp64gf96zs1jb1.gif flying head scissors]]. Seeing this has led to many players wanting Clorinde to do the same to them due to her luscious thighs.[[/labelnote]]
** [=How's Clorinde going to help?/"lAsT lInE oF dEfEnSe"=] [[labelnote:Explanation (Spoilers for Fontaine Archon Quest!)]]Near the climax of Chapter IV Act 4, the gate sealing off the Primordial Sea bursts. After an action sequence, Wriothesley and Clorinde are able to temporarily keep the Water of the Primordial Sea frozen behind three blast doors, and Clorinde claims that they are the "last line of defense" until Neuvillette arrives. Viewers quickly questioned how Clorinde, as an Electro vision holder with a firearm, could do anything meaningful to stop the Water of the Primordial Sea and contribute to the "last line of defense", as opposed to Wriothesley, a Cryo vision holder, who can repeatedly freeze the Water of the Primordial Sea to buy time.[[/labelnote]]



* '''Sethos''':
** Sethos Kaiba [[labelnote:Explanation]]Almost as soon as Sethos was revealed in the 4.6 Special Program, people started making ''Anime/YuGiOh'' jokes about him and Seto Kaiba due to having a connection to Cyno, who himself is a huge shoutout to Yami Yugi.[[/labelnote]]
* '''Sigewinne''':
** Siegwinne's Father[[labelnote:Explanation]]Sigewinne looks very much like a HalfHumanHybrid despite being a Melusine. While the nature of her appearance has yet to be explained, most fans assumed it happened the [[InterspeciesRomance natural way]], leading to many jokes about what type of madman would get it on with an anthropomorphic sea slug.[[/labelnote]]
** "...Ah, you're awake." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sigewinne [[https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxZHzIfKAAkaDpl0BB54R6ZMLun5NQLvTc says this line]] during part of the 4.1 Archon Quest. Players immediately started linking it to the opening sequence of VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim.[[/labelnote]]



* Useless Trishiraite [[labelnote:Explanation]]In Version 3.6, this orange rock appears as a Local Specialty in Sumeru. However, it ends up going unused as Kaveh (who debuts in the same version and is the last Sumeru character released during the 3.x patches) uses Mourning Flowers instead. While Local Specialties that aren't used by any of the current playable roster during a given patch is nothing new (especially during the initial patches of a new region), the Trishiraite debuts when the Sumeru series of patches are nearing its end, and with no new Sumeru characters being planned for release at the time. Thus fans joke that the Trishiraite will remain useless until a future Sumeru character is released. Given the reveal of Sethos, who has a unique model and Electro vision that might indicate he will become playable, people speculate that when he is released he will use Trishiraite[[/labelnote]]
