Theatricality had never been Neuvillette's strong suit, but a century of learning from one of Teyvat's greatest illusionists had taught him how to put on a good show. Thankfully Furina took ages to get ready, which meant Neuvillette had plenty of time to set the stage…with a few helping hands, of course. 

"Where do you want the cake M. Neuvillette?" A lime green melusine asked, delicately balancing a hefty slice of pillowy cake on her head. 

"Table by the window if you please, Ceres," Neuvillette said, lighting the last of the candles and setting it on a paper lily boat in the pool. Furina had spent four bloody months settling on the decor for the grand gala and he would be damned if someone didn't enjoy the ambiance. A small fleet of melusine had done what they could without ladders, turning the lower three feet of walls into a tapestry of ceramic fish and shells as Neuvillette prepared the pool. 

"Alright, that should do it," Neuvillette sighed, pulling his hair into a loose ponytail and wiping his brow. He had stripped down to a loose shirt and slacks while setting things up, deciding to change into something more suitable once everything was set up. "Thank you ladies, I shall take it from-" 

"Neuvillette?"  Furina called from behind the door to her room. "Where are you?" 

"Pool room," Neuvillette called, ushering the melusine through the door to the foyer. "Come in." 

"Come in? Is that how one announces the arrival of an Archon to a gala held in honor of her reign?" 

"You want to be announced ?" Neuvillette sighed fondly. "To whom ?" 

"My distinguished guests, of course!" 

"...I am literally the only one here." 

"And very distinguished!" 

You ridiculous woman… Neuvillette thought with a slight smile. "...announcing Lady Furina de Fontaine, Regina of All Waters, Hydro Archon and Goddess Focalors, Ruler of the Nation of Fontaine, Protector and Patroness of the Melusine…etcetera, etcetera." 

"I don't recall etcetera etcetera being part of my coat of arms!" Furina huffed, anxiously unlatching the door and stepping out into the candlelit chamber. "Oh…I see you were busy." 

"Yes, well, since I assumed you would take some time gussying yourself up, I thought I would make the place look…" Neuvillette trailed off as Furina stepped into the light. Her dress reflected every candle, a sea of shimmering interlocking scales that shifted as she walked from shadow to shadow. It hugged her chest snugly, falling just short of her kneecap and leaving her collarbone and shoulders bare. Stockings and gloves that rose to the middle of her arm complimented the ensemble, as did a familiar blue gemstone that had finally returned where it belonged. 

"...beautiful," Neuvillette finished.

Hello! A question about merch artist apps: are we required to only have pieces that have actually been used to produce merch, or can we enter some that were not produced for merch, but could be potentially?

Hello and thank you for your question! 

Prior experience with merch production and having samples of physical items are not necessary, and mock-ups are more than acceptable! 

We would appreciate sharing samples of designs you would be willing to create for the zine so we can better visualize them. That being said, samples of fully illustrated pieces that are rendered and have backgrounds are not required unless you wish to make prints or wallpapers ^^

⚖️ MOD SPOTLIGHT💧

First and foremost, say hello to our head and graphics mod, Kat (@aguatala, @kakathain)! This zine’s lead & graphics creative, we have them to thank for the adorable NeuviFuri posts and for helping bring their Asia trip to life ✈️✨

[bri-van-ghen]

ohhh my gosh this is happening! hello! So I just opened the form to check the rules first before applying but I'm a little confused at the required sample 1, 2, 3 links. wouldn't it be easier if we just sent the samples in one google drive link?

Thank you for the support~ ✧｡٩(ˊᗜˋ )و✧*｡ The forms have now been updated, so we'll only be asking for a link to your portfolio where we'll see your examples! Google drive is strongly preferred, but you can also use carrd or behance or tumblr etc etc! Make sure we can see it!

Have some NeuviFuri Meet-Cute GoD style

Neuvillette woke and knew only two things; his name, and that there was something wrong with him. 

His eyes opened to see long tendrils of silver hair floating in the water around him and faint white light streaming down from the surface high above him. This wasn't unusual; he had no memory of the cold inky cradle he woke up in but it felt…right. Even as the hand that reached towards the surface was too pale. Blue and white scales covered the back of his hand and stretched down his arm, but there should have been more. He knew that much, even if the rest of his memories were blurry at best. 

You are incomplete… 

A thought flickered through his mind in a voice not his own. The voice rippled through the water as he sat up, deliriously looking around for the source. 

Something has been taken from you, Hydro Sovereign…

Hydro Sovereign…that's who he was. He knew that as much as he knew that he was weaker than he should be. The long, slender limbs that reached into the water were too smooth, the scales on the skin too patchy. He was wrong, somehow, in a way he couldn't put into words. It was a fact that beat with every twitch of his heart and reminded him of something he had lost. 

Your authority can be returned to you…if you listen to me.

The light above him took the form of a slender woman dressed in a flowing gown of white and blue that billowed in the water as she descended. He recognized her, but not because of how she looked; something about her felt like himself. Like she somehow had the part he lacked. 

Aid the woman who looks like me. She has a task she needs your help with. 

Neuvillette opened his mouth, hoping to say something before the ethereal woman disappeared, but as soon as he found his voice she vanished in a cloud of bubbles, leaving Neuvillette deliriously looking around the bottom of the pool, unsure of what to do next. 

His stomach offered a suggestion in the form of a growl; he could puzzle about the nature of the bizarre young woman after he had eaten. Something told him it had been a very long time since he had done that.

Go; I will be with you. 

So spoke her reflection, and despite the tremor that haunted every step, Furina pushed into the wilderness on the slopes of Mount Automnequi with only a skinny cane-sword for protection. An unusually dense mist hung around the mountain; passing hooded through a small fishing village, she heard the locals say that they had never seen such a dense mist. It was so thick that Furina could barely see the trees ten paces in front of her. And yet, she pressed on, taking one turn that felt right to her after another. 

The quiet suited her. Since her shaky attempt at coronation, she had been surrounded by so many people, all eager to make the acquaintance of the new Archon, that Furina barely had a moment's peace to collect herself. Any doubts she had about accepting the help her reflection offered melted away as persistent dread made sleeping almost impossible. She was terribly, painfully alone in a teeming mob, some of whom already didn't like her. 

If this harebrained scheme had a hailstone's chance in hell of succeeding, she was going to need all the help she could get. 

By noon the fog showed no sign of relenting, but Furina was getting close to calling it quits as her stylish boots proved warm but ill suited to walking up mountains. Thankfully a cool pool of water emerged from the mist and Furina hobbled over to the edge of the water. Sitting on a mossy rock on the edge of the water, she kicked her boots off with a sigh that was swallowed by heavy fog. The dried fruit she packed would last for another small meal, after which point she would need to go home again and try some other day. The trouble was, she didn't know how many more times she could sneak out of the Palais without drawing unwanted attention. 

And she didn't want to have the "My Reflection Told Me to Go to the Wilderness to Find a Stranger to Help Me" conversation at this point. That was a fast route to being hailed as Furina the Mad by her subjects. 

"Hello?" Furina called into the mountain wilderness, met with only silence in return. Were she a mountaineer, she would have been unnerved by the total absence of animal sounds, insect noises, or bird calls as a sure sign of a nearby predator. 

"Is anyone there?" Furina asked, leaning down to refill her water skin in the cool mountain pond. Her reflection stared back at her, but offered no answers; whoever had spoken to her was now gone despite her promise to be with Furina. 

"Okay…I'm here," Furina said to her murky reflection in the water. "Here and out of clues, so any help would be very much appreciated." 

Her own wavering reflection stared back at her, silent as it had been for days since her coronation. A flicker of movement deep in the pool caught her attention as somewhere down in the darkness of the water, a large shape moved about. Vishaps weren't uncommon in the wilds of Fontaine and just as she was about to move, two bright blue eyes flickered in the darkness, turning up to look at her from the bottom of the pool. 

Okay, well I tried, time to go now! Furina thought, scrambling back from the edge of the pool as the shape lunged up out of the depths. She managed to get her sword cane out of its sheathe as a large, pale figure emerged from the depths of the pond, looking for all the world like a shirtless man clad in only a waistcloth that clung to his thighs as he pushed himself up on the rock Furina had been sitting on only moments earlier. Long, stringy wet hair was plastered to his neck and shoulders and in his mouth a fat wriggling trout was breathing its last as his jaws snapped its head off with one crunch of bones and skin. 

Despite the relatively human appearance, Furina couldn't be sure she wasn't looking at a monster, but he made no motion to attack, simply chewing his fish-head thoughtfully for a moment. 

"You," the creature's voice spoke, a low thrumming sound that seemed to ripple the fog that hung over the water. "...what took you so long?" 

[bri-van-ghen]
