I love my son scaramouche, but I wanna talk about how the community draws him with puppet features.
Nothing wrong!! I absolutely adore that!
Is just that I think people knew right away he was a puppet because he looked like a puppet all those centuries ago.
But then Dottore made him join the fatui and experimenting and the abyss exposure changed his body.
Maybe it was a feature he already had, but I like to think the reason nobody knows Shogun is a puppet like people used to know Scara was, is because he made himself look human.
Was it enduring the pain of the experiments and the abyss not worth it if he could get a body closer to a god? It was.
So I like to think the Scara we know now after the Irminsul stuff doesn´t look like a puppet because of his exposure to abyss and experiments that supposedly didn´t happen. (but they did, he only forgot...and then remembered it again)
So he wouldn´t look like a puppet now, but if we go another way, we could say him “taking off” whatever it was that made him look more human in order to show himself as more puppet-like, is him making peace with his puppet status.
