Man it was so funny. I was crying laughing at the same time. Like my brain sure was getting mixed signals there. Also the fact ads keep popping up at the most crucial moment is just to hilarious idk if twitch has some hidden tech to find the important parts to start ads or what 😂😂😂
@@siliconhawk I'm convinced every stream are trained on their machine, so the next time someone gonna do similar "popular" thing, their machine interjected "ads" instead.
28:28 it is really tragic because furina's real personality would be accepted if it was during today's teyvat, but when furina took on the role as the hydro archon, the cataclysm just finished and the people are looking for an authority that is strong and resolute, one that can guide them away from the chaos and crisis.
We need a HUGE shoutout to Furina/Focalor VA. She absolutely killed the subtle hints throughout her parts. This wouldn't have been nearly as gut-punching as it was if she hadn't shown such emotion through it all.
Hand it to Neuvi’s VA too, for perfectly capturing the tone of a character outwardly unexpressive who slowly starts to understand and yearn to express human emotions. Both Amber Lee Connors and Ray Chase really poured every ounce of their experience as veteran VA into these performances
@@mythlessrwf Shows how professional they are, they could have phoned it in and still put out performances better than a large portion of the previous cast. When Neuv. realized what the other Focalor was saying, you could hear his held gasp in his next lines.
mate, she got me good. The entire story i was like "man i fucking hate this bratty fake..." then you play a bit more and really get humbled. She was just a poor, lonely, girl... acting how she thought she was supposed to even if it was inauthentic. She was living in constant terror that her failure would be the death of everyone in her world.
One of the funniest things to watch on RUclips regarding Furina is that before this quest everyone made videos making fun of her and after this quest everyone made videos in tribute and loved her
tbh, I actually liked her 'role' from act 1. By the end of act 1 I was already convinced that there was a lot more going on with her than just what she was showing and I honestly found the facade entertaining. It was pretty obvious from the start that the Archon was in the Oritrace and Furina was either a fraud or a split off segment. My first guess was something like the hydro mimics that Oceanids can create. As a side note, Nuevi being the hydro sovereign was pretty obvious from act 2. The rest of Fontaine's main plot was loosely laid out in the summer event in 3.8 (and more blatantly than the last few summer events did).
Randomly got recommended this video, and one of the comments in the video just shook me. "That's why she was excited for every trial" ... Furina was mentioned to be excited for every trial, but to walk away in dejection if a trial isn't "impressive" enough... I never realized... It was because every. single. trial. could've been the one. could've been the one to end... the suffering... WHY IS FONTAINE MAKING ME CRY AFTER THE RELEASE OF NATLAN?!!
I both love and hate the fact that Furina's first reaction to seeing her people still alive after the flood wasn't "I did it" but "the prophecy was wrong". Love it because it's lore accurate as Furina still thinks she doomed everyone by being exposed, but hate it because FURINA YOU FKN DID IT I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY DAMMIT.
If anyone checking comments for his attention on the quest !!! Yes he paid attention when needed , which i did not expected at all this is a gem of reaction
@@NowaylarryI’d say the opposite 😅 as a whole I enjoyed Sumeru’s more, but Fontaine’s 4.2 aq was the best. The 4.1 aq just drags the rest of Fontaine’s down imo.

The raw emotion in Neuvillette’s voice as he realizes focalor’s plan, and when he pardons Fontaine…wrecks me every damn time. Ray Chase is just amazing, imo the best Neuvillette by far. Im not the biggest fan of the English directing making Amber Lee Connors lower her voice for focalors (them sounding different has confused a LARGE amount of people their actual relationship to each other), but it’s SO SO GOOD. I will always rewatch the dance cutscene if given the chance.
This is why I don't like it when people brush off Genshin as just a forgettable gatcha- it has better story writing and more emotion than 80% of mainstream games I've played over the last few years
Honestly, the top 3 moments Hoyo has done (not including GGZ since I haven't played it) are probably, Fontaine act 5, Otto's final moments, and Elysium Everlasting. The interesting part is that Focalors, Otto, and Elysia did everything only to sacrifice themselves at the end for others to have an opportunity.
This has to be one of the best if not the best hour of story telling of gaming in 2023, when I played it originally it mayed me cry and I still teared up a little watching it now but holy shit this is peak Genshin
Idk if it was just be but titanic was a total snooze fest for me, couldn't even bother to complete it tbh, I really do not understand the hype. Behind it tbh
Bro literally had a a stuffy nose the whole stream? Like why so genshit players literally make every single action into some reaction the streamer is giving. Bro did not care for the story. B4 anyone says he said he did, he's being paid, good amounts.
@@YOUHUOUGGHHH true, these genshits is worse than us kurobots. Wuwa best mobile game lezgooooo! Let out power soar to the black shores and bring destruction to them ALL HAIL XINZHOU
Furina's is the greatest character in the game. I absolutely love her and respect her. She deserves hugs and head pats and all the happiness in the world.
I haven't played genshin for months now since WuWa but man, i like genshin's characters more. they just feel more relateable and with more personality. i miss furina fr fr. maybe it's time to go back and play natlan's archon quest lol
The prophecy wasn't wrong, it was simply... enacted to look that way? As Focalors said it, basically make it look like the prophecy had come to pass. Basically some boxes had to be filled in so they could say "prophecy fulfilled", so Focalors found loopholes.
She and neuvi will probably get. Neuvi's might be late. Furina's could be in natlan. Just like yoi came in sumeru. Cyno came in fontaine. Neuvi's story quest 2 should be about soverigns story/lore and i would be happy to see it in shneznaya.
Honestly, i didnt join the hate bandwagon for furina. Although i had to admit her initial bratty demeanor threw me off. BUT i told myself, i'll give her the benefit of the doubt and see what this is all about..and I ended up crying because of her.
That way they revealed Furina’s past as a play on a set was soo beautiful. I wish I could’ve been there to give her a hug. I am glad tho she is getting her well deserved break.
@@LilianaKali well... the Arlechino story isn't about the salvation of mankind (... well .. FontaineKind). .. and none in the Arlechino story were gods. Though, i suppose it's a more earthly parallel. (I'm a bit miffed at Arlechino for her bringing about the Poisson disaster, but Furina gets the blame. So i'm not inclined to think favourably about Arl.)
@@CedrcE - the only way Fontaine could hold back the disaster is if Furina's identity is never found out. Fracturing Furina's confidence in herself was a fracture in the protection of Fontaine. Arl set out to take the gnosis and kill Furina. That caused Furina's fit of self doubt = the fracture in protection which allowed Poisson's flooding. + When Furina's confidence was completely destroyed = when the Whale invaded the court room.
@@YOUHUOUGGHHH I'll give you a hint, insulting people and things they like is not a winning strategy, if you want them on your side that is. Too fat otherwise.
I didn't cried during this but did felt emotional,honestly genshin can put sad moment and sad music combo that is enough to make me feel despair, honestly if I didn't read Natlan archon quest first and thought Kachina died, I would be sad
So far the only quest that had me ugly crying fr fr... I've cried in other quests (tighnaris's quest, yoimiya's vacation, sumeru's aq, etc...) but this one had me bawling my eyes out 😅
So far I can safely say that Furina easily got the best character story execution (no pun intended), I mean it really was executed beautifully how the story woven together (again, I can't think of any other word that that). Followed fairly closely by Neuvilette's, Nahida's, and Eula's character stories. I should really make a tier list for the best character story in this game.
When I first played through this and was listening to Focalors speech about how perfect Furina was, I already knew that she had cursed Furina but the line where Focalors says “Anyways- So then I cursed her” I thought it was an edit with to be a joke with how blunt it was, but nope. It caught me so off guard and still does because it’s just so stupidly blunt
Kinda funny when you think about it, but Celestia had nothing to do with the prophecy. Surtalugi created the Narwhal. If anything. Surtalugi is to blame for everything that went down in Fontaine. And as Mona stated during Act 5 that, one who could read the fate of the world would be called a visionary. And surprise, surprise, that did Skirk talk about..? Fontaine disaster: Surtalugi Prophecy: Vedrfolnir The whole Focalors tricking Celestia thing was for her to commit suicide in order to destroy the Hydro Heavenly Throne, so that she could return the elemental authority back to the hydro sovereign and for the Sovereign to safe the people of Fontaine from the prophecy. But Celestia had nothing to do with it.
yeah it's certainly weird. But I still think the prophecy was from Celestia. After all, it was known to Egeria, and she created Fontanians waaaay earlier than 500 y.a. (Fontanians led by Egeria were already present in the age of Remuria after all), and who knows if Vedrfolnir was Visionary before the cataclysm, and how old was he. I began to think that he actually used the prophecy to his advantage. If he created those stone slates and encoded it so Neuvillete (and maybe Focalors) could read them, then maybe he specifically guided everyone to this specific outcome (destruction of Hydro Throne). I don't think Celestia planned to use the whale, because it would also backfire at them, they would lose all of primordial sea power
The prophecy is Fontaine will drown & Hydro archon will cry, will sitting alone But it never said that how it will drown or what it means Which means anyone can alter the background part of it Which is why how Prophecy able to made false in a sense
Not a direct hand in it. But its so far been very clear and direct that Celestia controls fate over beings and because they are still close to being the absolute authority of teyvat i.e controlling reality. All Celestia did was create a prophecy that eventually leads time and reality to create the outcome stated. but seemingly its also while unavoidable possible to in a way trick? and it seems like there was more then a few hands. if we subscribe to the idea that the sinners did something too. involved in modifying the variables. But equally so Focalor also created a unseen variable that destroys the divine throne of hydro and the people saved from dissolving. But its hinted at that its a very cruel method that Celestia creates such judgements that takes into effect that after so long as focalor put it should have been long since forgiven and coming from the very usurpers of the dragons sovereigns power. Its hypocritical to judge others on what they have done themselves. hence why the whole idea of dictating everyones fates(granted you are a tied to the world) so that people are bereft of truly making their own fate/life because Celestia has long since made the choice of what happens to you is hurting the world further and further. It paints the picture that though the abyss is absolutely bad and it will hurt the world for it to gain further ground. Celestia represents control over freedom. Which has only gotten worse in lore. Basically what started out with a noble idea even if done by force like taking the elemental dragon sovereigns power. Now is as bad as the abyss but in a opposite way. Both are leading things to a worse situation. and teyvat is right in the middle with many like the fatui and the archons arguably wanting to change everything.
The prophecy only stated Hydro Archon crying alone in her throne, while Fontaine drowned. The neat part about how and why CAN be altered. It's like "If we can't stop whatever this flood from happening, let's just make sure it's water and not lava." That's why it didn't APPEAR as it could be. It's ALTERED from the WORSE fate.
That's not a hot take. I've been Hoyo-ing for around a decade and trust me, the hate started from when Genshin had just released and the HI3 elitist crowd started being really insecure around every success Genshin accrued. The HI3 elitists feeling left out found new hope in a new Honkai name to latch onto-HSR-and looked for every way to diss Genshin with it. Then came the Penacony story. Everyone knew the story was bad. But alas, the agenda had to be maintained, so they go on to this day claiming that Penacony is a better story. They are loud and adorably vitriolic about it, so it must be true, right?
If Penacony didn't take like 8 hours just for the last act, it would be better. But Penacony story drags so much and it's way too damn long, it ruins the enjoyment for me.
I think theyd be good for repeatable commissions, and i think a speed up would be good if ur game crashes in the middle of a long dialogue scene and you have to restart it. But the story is one of the main focuses of the game and if you could skip it it'd just be a shell. I feel like even the existence of the skip button decreases peoples likelihood of immersion in the story, it did when i tried wuwa
As a story enjoyer I still think a skip button would be rather nice. As someone with a couple of alt challenge accounts it would be rather helpful. There are only a handful of quests that still hold the same impact a second time around and then there are the sheer number of unvoiced, long, npc dialogue filled world quests and event quests. Those become very tedious when repeated. The people who would use a skip button the first time they do a quest are the same people who aren't going to pay attention to the quest anyway. In short, a skip button wouldn't hurt the game and honestly it would probably increase active player count.
so there are 182,500 days in 500 years which mean scene in Furina's inner world are the day of her life which and is did that for 182,376 days so a little under 500, which means that it took Focalors a little under 4 months to come up with this plan.
Everyone hates on the Fontanians for doubting Furina (me included), but if even one Fontanian doubted her, so would Celestia, so she had to put on the brat act no matter what.
Man, Fontaine story quest was a big leap from the 4-5 hour slog that was Sumeru chapters. I'm glad they're cutting down on the excessive dialogues for the main quests in Natlan and just putting them on the side story quests / reputation quests.
I really liked that we (the traveler) played the role of the final temptation. Who knows what would have happened if Furina had given in to us. Makes me wonder what rule the Traveler truly has in this story and in Teyvat's fate.
Something that took me a while to comprehend was how devastating it is for a human in this world to pretend to be an archon. The other 4 we saw either retired, replaced themselves with a puppet, or were nonexistent to their people… and they have super archon powers that give them more stamina to run a nation. It’s not a crazy stretch to think that these leaders have an insane workload to run their nation because they ARE gods. So, Furina has to pretend to be completely unaffected while maintaining her human body AND doing the same thing. That’s like… 500 years of what could very well be 100+ hr work weeks. Holy shit.

Did she get at least 3 quest with her in 4.4, 4.7 and her personal "legends" quest?
She kinda did get a second one with the Fontaine movie event.
@@Алексей545-т6бHoyo try not making lore relevant character story into limited time event(impossible) (victim : Albedo, furina, Etc)
Venti cried in the basement
Focalor was playing 4D Chess, while Furina was a mere pawn forced to play a role she neither wanted nor enjoyed. 😢
Childe is the GOAT.
Seriously imagine how strong he would be if he could sustain foul legacy without any drawbacks
@@Glis54 He would solo the world
@@Glis54and w/o his vision too
I cheered out loud when he suddenly appeared in this quest. That doesn't happen to me often.
A year ago the community was raking her over the coals for being annoying and bratty. And then this quest dropped 😭
Honestly, i didnt join the hate bandwagon for furina. Although i had to admit her initial bratty demeanor threw me off. BUT i told myself, i'll give her the benefit of the doubt and see what this is all about..and I ended up crying because of her.
That way they revealed Furina’s past as a play on a set was soo beautiful. I wish I could’ve been there to give her a hug. I am glad tho she is getting her well deserved break.
makes me cry every time i watch someone play through this
the story of the Father, the Daughter, and the Holy Ghost.
...Neuvillette, Furina... and Focalors? Or Arrlechino, Lynette and Clervie?
@@LilianaKali well... the Arlechino story isn't about the salvation of mankind (... well .. FontaineKind). .. and none in the Arlechino story were gods. Though, i suppose it's a more earthly parallel. (I'm a bit miffed at Arlechino for her bringing about the Poisson disaster, but Furina gets the blame. So i'm not inclined to think favourably about Arl.)
@@mijmijrm I think you misunderstood something, Arlecchino had nothing to do with the Poisson disaster. She just sent help after it happened.
@@CedrcE - the only way Fontaine could hold back the disaster is if Furina's identity is never found out. Fracturing Furina's confidence in herself was a fracture in the protection of Fontaine. Arl set out to take the gnosis and kill Furina. That caused Furina's fit of self doubt = the fracture in protection which allowed Poisson's flooding. + When Furina's confidence was completely destroyed = when the Whale invaded the court room.
39:55 this isn’t Garnt talking to Furina, this is Garnt talking to himself trying to hold it together
OH MY GOD. watching this arc again after so long, it feels like im experiencing it again for the first time and IM SOBBING
44:25 he's so close chat 😢😢
Lol people are getting adds while the cinema was about to start 😂
ngl this is why I play genshin ... I just want more story
Play wuwa for both that and great combat. Genshit will disappoint, wuwa wont, that's the difference.
@@YOUHUOUGGHHH I'll give you a hint, insulting people and things they like is not a winning strategy, if you want them on your side that is. Too fat otherwise.
@@YOUHUOUGGHHH Sure jan
@@YOUHUOUGGHHHbait used to believe
Shit story@@YOUHUOUGGHHH
I didn't cried during this but did felt emotional,honestly genshin can put sad moment and sad music combo that is enough to make me feel despair, honestly if I didn't read Natlan archon quest first and thought Kachina died, I would be sad
Even after almost a year past i payed it i still have tears watching that Furina cutscene😢
38:26 There's a mass of tally marks behind the scene number... hadn't spotted that one before.
The way I smashed the vid when I saw it 😂😂😂
Me too lmao
Even after so many time this ending is still so peak
The last time veteran hoyofans saw that crack in space, several valkyries died on the spot
So far the only quest that had me ugly crying fr fr... I've cried in other quests (tighnaris's quest, yoimiya's vacation, sumeru's aq, etc...) but this one had me bawling my eyes out 😅
So far I can safely say that Furina easily got the best character story execution (no pun intended), I mean it really was executed beautifully how the story woven together (again, I can't think of any other word that that).
Followed fairly closely by Neuvilette's, Nahida's, and Eula's character stories.
I should really make a tier list for the best character story in this game.
Furina deserves the world
was waiting for this omg
I don't even play Genshin, and I'm sitting here, watching this, balling my eyes out!
When I first played through this and was listening to Focalors speech about how perfect Furina was, I already knew that she had cursed Furina but the line where Focalors says “Anyways- So then I cursed her” I thought it was an edit with to be a joke with how blunt it was, but nope. It caught me so off guard and still does because it’s just so stupidly blunt
Where's the full VOD? Is he gonna forget like caribert?
Who's rem?
I think he was just doing Fontaine
He commented “full vid coming soon”
Kinda funny when you think about it, but Celestia had nothing to do with the prophecy.
Surtalugi created the Narwhal. If anything. Surtalugi is to blame for everything that went down in Fontaine.
And as Mona stated during Act 5 that, one who could read the fate of the world would be called a visionary. And surprise, surprise, that did Skirk talk about..?
Fontaine disaster: Surtalugi
Prophecy: Vedrfolnir
The whole Focalors tricking Celestia thing was for her to commit suicide in order to destroy the Hydro Heavenly Throne, so that she could return the elemental authority back to the hydro sovereign and for the Sovereign to safe the people of Fontaine from the prophecy. But Celestia had nothing to do with it.
Well if we take original Hydro Archon Egeria - Celestia imprison her for this sin
yeah it's certainly weird. But I still think the prophecy was from Celestia. After all, it was known to Egeria, and she created Fontanians waaaay earlier than 500 y.a. (Fontanians led by Egeria were already present in the age of Remuria after all), and who knows if Vedrfolnir was Visionary before the cataclysm, and how old was he.
I began to think that he actually used the prophecy to his advantage. If he created those stone slates and encoded it so Neuvillete (and maybe Focalors) could read them, then maybe he specifically guided everyone to this specific outcome (destruction of Hydro Throne).
I don't think Celestia planned to use the whale, because it would also backfire at them, they would lose all of primordial sea power
The prophecy is Fontaine will drown & Hydro archon will cry, will sitting alone
But it never said that how it will drown or what it means
Which means anyone can alter the background part of it
Which is why how Prophecy able to made false in a sense
Not a direct hand in it. But its so far been very clear and direct that Celestia controls fate over beings and because they are still close to being the absolute authority of teyvat i.e controlling reality. All Celestia did was create a prophecy that eventually leads time and reality to create the outcome stated. but seemingly its also while unavoidable possible to in a way trick? and it seems like there was more then a few hands. if we subscribe to the idea that the sinners did something too. involved in modifying the variables. But equally so Focalor also created a unseen variable that destroys the divine throne of hydro and the people saved from dissolving.
But its hinted at that its a very cruel method that Celestia creates such judgements that takes into effect that after so long as focalor put it should have been long since forgiven and coming from the very usurpers of the dragons sovereigns power. Its hypocritical to judge others on what they have done themselves.
hence why the whole idea of dictating everyones fates(granted you are a tied to the world) so that people are bereft of truly making their own fate/life because Celestia has long since made the choice of what happens to you is hurting the world further and further.
It paints the picture that though the abyss is absolutely bad and it will hurt the world for it to gain further ground. Celestia represents control over freedom. Which has only gotten worse in lore. Basically what started out with a noble idea even if done by force like taking the elemental dragon sovereigns power. Now is as bad as the abyss but in a opposite way. Both are leading things to a worse situation.
and teyvat is right in the middle with many like the fatui and the archons arguably wanting to change everything.
The prophecy only stated Hydro Archon crying alone in her throne, while Fontaine drowned. The neat part about how and why CAN be altered.
It's like "If we can't stop whatever this flood from happening, let's just make sure it's water and not lava."
That's why it didn't APPEAR as it could be. It's ALTERED from the WORSE fate.
Bro watching chat as fontaine is being flooded and al you see is o7 paris is hilarious🤣
Hot take this story was far better than Penacony but Genshin haters are afraid to admit it.
I agree, but Fontaine wasn't that great either, it was good yeah, but not as good as many people says
nah that's a fact not a hot take lol
Fontaine was way much better by far
That's not a hot take. I've been Hoyo-ing for around a decade and trust me, the hate started from when Genshin had just released and the HI3 elitist crowd started being really insecure around every success Genshin accrued. The HI3 elitists feeling left out found new hope in a new Honkai name to latch onto-HSR-and looked for every way to diss Genshin with it. Then came the Penacony story. Everyone knew the story was bad. But alas, the agenda had to be maintained, so they go on to this day claiming that Penacony is a better story. They are loud and adorably vitriolic about it, so it must be true, right?
What? Didn't you enjoy hearing about the same damn bird for 8 hours?
If Penacony didn't take like 8 hours just for the last act, it would be better.
But Penacony story drags so much and it's way too damn long, it ruins the enjoyment for me.
my guy tried so hard to not burst in tears lol
Best chapter of Genshin Impact for sure 🔥
G's a gigachad for choosing Qiqi as his dedicated healer! 🙌
Dude really did the Fontaine quest same time as me lol. I also just finished it.
So everyone needs to love both Furina and Nahida. If you don't you're wrong
Focalors message for Furiri always makes me teared up
What the hell is with the chat spamming headphones all the time. Who cares if he wears headphones or not. Jesus Christ.
53:10 Chat going wild because of the ads during the most crucial scene of the atc 🤣💔
AND IT GETS EVEN BETTER IN NATLAN 🗣🗣
Furina so cute , i love her sm
I need to hear Gigguk opinion dawg. I need the full video asap
I NEED THE VOD GRUNT I CANT BE PRODUCTIVE LIKE THIS
Great video. Looking forward to seeing your reaction to the Natlan AQ
And thus, I echo what a lot of long-time Genshin players say, this is why we don't need a skip button.
Eh, I think it does for commission quests or smth
I think theyd be good for repeatable commissions, and i think a speed up would be good if ur game crashes in the middle of a long dialogue scene and you have to restart it. But the story is one of the main focuses of the game and if you could skip it it'd just be a shell. I feel like even the existence of the skip button decreases peoples likelihood of immersion in the story, it did when i tried wuwa
Skip button for anything not voice-acted
this is why some of us still have hope for genshin, and tbis is why, we just need to let em cook
As a story enjoyer I still think a skip button would be rather nice. As someone with a couple of alt challenge accounts it would be rather helpful. There are only a handful of quests that still hold the same impact a second time around and then there are the sheer number of unvoiced, long, npc dialogue filled world quests and event quests. Those become very tedious when repeated. The people who would use a skip button the first time they do a quest are the same people who aren't going to pay attention to the quest anyway.
In short, a skip button wouldn't hurt the game and honestly it would probably increase active player count.
so there are 182,500 days in 500 years which mean scene in Furina's inner world are the day of her life which and is did that for 182,376 days so a little under 500, which means that it took Focalors a little under 4 months to come up with this plan.
Day 1 of asking Gigguk to read Usogui 🗣️
Everyone hates on the Fontanians for doubting Furina (me included), but if even one Fontanian doubted her, so would Celestia, so she had to put on the brat act no matter what.
I hate Traveler for not comforting her after all that mess HAS ended. There's really no risk imposed and still they didn't do it.
And that is why Furina is a must pull, always and forever
Lmao i can't wait to see garnt's reaction to the war in natlan in like a year.
Man, Fontaine story quest was a big leap from the 4-5 hour slog that was Sumeru chapters. I'm glad they're cutting down on the excessive dialogues for the main quests in Natlan and just putting them on the side story quests / reputation quests.
🎦Cinema! 🎦
Natlan here we come!
Story so good, it even tricked players (unless theorists)
Furina needs the strongest therapist Teyvat has, even years after the Archon Quest
I think good friends will do. The playable cast in Fontaine love her, and there are indications that Hu Tao might become a BFF.
Focalor is really beautiful and Furina too ❤❤❤
I really liked that we (the traveler) played the role of the final temptation. Who knows what would have happened if Furina had given in to us.
Makes me wonder what rule the Traveler truly has in this story and in Teyvat's fate.
I've said it many times before, but Furina is the MVP of humans.
ah shit here we go again
a tear is must for our beloved girl
Something that took me a while to comprehend was how devastating it is for a human in this world to pretend to be an archon. The other 4 we saw either retired, replaced themselves with a puppet, or were nonexistent to their people… and they have super archon powers that give them more stamina to run a nation. It’s not a crazy stretch to think that these leaders have an insane workload to run their nation because they ARE gods. So, Furina has to pretend to be completely unaffected while maintaining her human body AND doing the same thing. That’s like… 500 years of what could very well be 100+ hr work weeks. Holy shit.
Furina is literally Hydro Jesus waifu and I'm all into it.
Honestly they cooked the hardest with Fontaine
