It doesn't help at all that I recently got into Love and Deepspace. My brain kept shifting between nvfr and Sylus/MC especially in those...freaky times khfkhv

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

0 Years, 0 Months, 1 Day

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. 

0 Years, 0 Months, 10 Days

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?"

thoughts on furina's vision...

I think that "Furina rightfully earned her vision with her passion and dedication to her calling" and "Neuvillette gave her a vision" are two truths that can coexist

prior to the Fontaine archon quest, Furina's efforts to masquerade as the hydro archon went largely unappreciated— which was (1) obvious enough and (2) a good thing given the situation, because nobody was supposed to know that she's pretending to be the Hydro Archon in the first place. and even her divine half — Foçalors — died alone within the Oratrice, a sad finale for someone who'd been storing up enough power for her own execution.

ironically enough, in a nation of justice, both human and divine halves of the hydro archon suffered very unjustly thanks to Celestia's prophecy.

and even after everything, the people of Fontaine would either shun her (like the people of Poisson, who rightfully had a reason to do so) or go about their lives as normal, but they'd never know the full truth. on the other hand, the Heavenly Principles — the very thing she was trying to deceive — certainly WOULDN'T give her a vision for that.

but there is only one person who's seen what both sides of her sacrificed for Fontaine— and that is Neuvillette.

Neuvillette has always been upfront to the traveler about his respect for Furina, and while he didn't personally witness Furina's memories (it was the traveler who did so) he still was the one who learned of her curse from Foçalors— and then witnessed Foçalors' execution right after. he's well aware of how the people see her — especially the people of Poisson, who suffered the most thanks to the prophecy — and he also knows that he can never reveal the full truth. he also knows that Celestia would shun her efforts, since she and Foçalors deceived them.

but as the witness to the overflowing love that Furina and Foçalors had for Fontaine, it only makes sense that Neuvillette put his newly regained power to use by honouring what she did for them — both her human and divine selves. and what better way to honour them both than to give her a vision that embodies both aspects? pneuma and ousia, humanity and divinity...

the people do not fully understand what she has done for them, and Celestia will shun her; but he, Iudex Neuvillette, is not the type of man to turn a blind eye where the law is lacking.

a (very delayed) request for nvfr! monsieur neuvillette, I fear that you have quite the rival now— and he's quite the straightforward man to boot

"You have to stop thinking of the Abyss as a celestial power…it's more sidereal in nature." 

Furina blinked, finding herself standing on the edge of a vast, still ocean that reflected the stars above. Ahead of her, she could make out two figures; one who had visited her nightmares regularly since Elynas. 

"Your problem is that you lack scope," the strange blonde woman said, reaching down into the ocean and plucking a star out to hold it between her fingers. "You're shooting for the moon, but even the moon is another layer of deception. Freedom is only going to be found beyond the stars themselves."

"Your freedom," the other figure sniffed dismissively. "This world deserves the kind of freedom that won't unmake it; interlopers like yourself ought to leave the fate of Teyvat to those whose fates are bound to it." 

It was hard to make out the other woman's face; she wore a simple, threadbare tunic with her hair bound up in a bun, but concrete details eluded Furina. She looked at her face, but could recall no features; even the tone and timbre of her voice was so obscure that Furina forgot what it sounded like the moment she stopped talking. 

"Your freedom will unmake the world as well," the blonde woman retorted, flicking the star from her fingertips and watching as it spun into the night sky. "Or do you think the people of Teyvat will quietly accept your supremacy?" 

"They will be invited to accept my leadership…whether they accept my invitation is their choice," the other woman countered. 

"And me?" The blonde woman asked. 

"As I said…you are not part of this world," the other woman said. "Though you are welcome to join my cause, of course." 

Furina found herself mute as she always was in her nightmares, even as the blonde woman turned to face the stranger. "Hm…I don't think so. As much as you've taught me, we don't see eye-to-eye on some pretty major things." 

"I am confident that you will come around in due time," the stranger replied, turning her featureless face to Furina. "Until then…I propose we stay out of each other's ways. We have our goals, and though we do not share a common aim, our common enemy dictates that we should at least avoid open conflict." 

Furina froze as both people turned to her, waiting for an answer to a question she didn't understand. When she opened her mouth, another's voice came out of it. 

"Agreed…you swim in your waters and I'll swim in mine," Furina found herself saying.  "My ambition bends entirely towards Fontaine…so long as you two stay away from it, we will have nothing to argue about." 

Beneath her a dark shape swam in the depths and before Furina awoke, she caught sight of what appeared to be a truly massive beast rising out of the water, mouth open and ready to devour her whole-

Furina lurched awake, the sound of distant knocking rousing her from a nightmare alone in her bed.

your recent posts about furina being such a willing sacrificial lamb reminded me of this...

Yesss I love that poem and I love stories where the sacrificial lamb survives and then has to figure out how to survive now that her purpose is gone
