okay so uh… Tournament of Glory in Bloom event story is the second time Traveler insists on not telling the truth about the past to a person because it will “make them sad and who cares about the truth anyway”, with the first precedent being Nahida during her birthday. I am NOT allowing this mf to be near Furina anymore. not to mention I don’t like this narrative in general, and I specifically don’t like the perspective of the same shitty writing choice being casted upon Furina. "she doesn't need her memories back, she doesn't need to know who she was, it will make her miserable 🥺" WRONG and WEAK. stfu Traveler.

For as long as Furina can remember, anger has always lived in her.

It was born alongside her, grew into her bones and muscles, gave color to her eyes.

When she looks in the mirror and sees that her face is the face of a deity, only two truths are clear in her head:

The first is simple as that — the prophecy. All of Fontaine's people will dissolve, leaving only the Hydro Archon to uselessly cry alone.

The second is anger. Cold, heavy rage.

Neither first nor the second belongs to her.

Just like the face.

Mirror-Her offers her a bowl full of vinegar. Not a single sip from it, nor ten, nor thousand will kill her immortal body, but that doesn't mean it won't hurt.

Furina, who still does not know what pain is, agrees. Even if she had known, she would have agreed anyway. But she knows only the comfortable emptiness of nothing and alien, thus distant anger.

When she performs in public for the first time, she learns what anxiety is. People whisper; Furina has to improvise. When an exclamation about her intention to judge even the gods of other lands comes out of her mouth with no second thought behind it, she is so horrified she almost claps her hand over her mouth. The wrath inside her chest curls into a tight ball and then spreads all the way through her veins, to the very tips of her fingers, with a feverish, triumphant warmth.

At first, she doesn't believe that this ugly anger is also Mirror-Her’s property, for Her voice is so gentle. But, feeling the inexplicable yet still axiomatic confidence in what was said, she suddenly realizes crystal clear that it is, indeed, Hers.

Theirs?

The thought scares her a hundred times more than a judgmental, faceless crowd ever could.

on one hand, I want to go back to Fontaine because I can’t take any more of this stupidity. on the other hand, I don’t want to return to Fontaine ever again because I don’t want my favourite female characters’ personalities be butchered in favour of MC glazing, thank you very much.

I am such a funny person

CW genshin leaks CW opinion

the combination of Varesa’s design and the visuals meant to show her personality is just straight up humiliating. I feel very uncomfortable looking at her.

sure thing, she has a slightly different body model and diversity is good, but the quality of this representation is mid at best and realistically we shouldn’t cheer up when a corporation is throwing a bone to us. she has more plump thighs and chest, but her waist is still thin, and her stomach is flat. this is not representation, this is not made for you, my feminist follower who reads this rant written by a feminist woman. this is made for people who drool over disproportionate anime girls on r-34 website.

her whole character is made for people who drool over disproportionate anime girls on r-34 website. she’s soft, and innocent, and clumsy, and naive. yes, she’s strong, but look, she’s such an uwu cutie who can’t stand straight after using her power for a kick!!! uwu!!!! she’s visually coded to resemble a cow: an animal, and not just any animal, but an animal heavily sexualised by pop-culture. her main personality trait is that she loves to eat and can eat a lot. the cut of her clothes is open, frivolous, I dare say sexy (neutral intonation) — and, on top of that, the little details of her design are resembling a visual code of a child character. I mean: twin braids, headband, colourful bandages, those little hearts and bows on her gaiters. and there’s nothing wrong with these cute accessories! sigewinne is using the same aesthetic, and I have no complaints about her character. of course, of course, clothes styling is not identifying one’s age. but I’m a fashion designer, and as one, I want to say you that we, as a humankind, rely heavily on associations, and, as unjust as it is, fashion is no exception. so, when someone creates a character with both child-like and animal-like visuals, and an associatively child-like behaviour with clumsy unsteady movements, this character will be seen like we see children and animals: someone vulnerable, someone dependent. and then, if the creator gives this character a sexualising, frivolous design on top of the traits I listed above — this is messed up on so many levels my head starts to boil. Varesa’s design is not only infantilising in a derogatory way, but also is created for fetish and for fetish only, and I don’t even know what could possibly change my opinion, because goddamn this is a disaster.

In case you didn’t know, which you didn’t, so now you know, this is the scene that defined romance for me. this quiet little thing on the very sidelines of the main plot. to be exactly accurate, the “don’t be a stranger” and the cheek kiss moment. lips kiss sure funny thing, but the cheek one? my brain overloads immediately like every time I see it

The Haymitch and Effie kiss. The kiss between Haymitch and Effie. Btw guys Effie and Haymitch kissed on the lips. The hayffie. The hayffie kiss. The 1:56:29. The time Haymitch kissed Effie. Do you remember that one moment in Mockingjay part 2 where Effie Trinket and Haymitch Abernathy kiss. That one time Effie kissed Haymitch goodbye. The “don’t be a stranger”. The kiss on the cheek. The kiss on the lips. Have I mentioned Haymitch and Effie kissed at the end of mockingjay part 2. The Effie Trinket x Haymitch Abernathy kiss. The

okay so I’m slowly writing a meta post about all the Furina&Erinnyes connections with both proofs and counter arguments because I’m so nice and objective, and honestly this is just hilarious, Erinnyes is one of the most sus genshin characters. The FUCK you mean Furina just said she would like to use an Erinnyes-inspired perfume in her next performance??? This is SO weirdly specific I don’t have a coherent explanation except for this being a foreshadowing.

[riicky-ye]

ok but how are you feeling about the 5.4 livestream fanservice?

Thank you for your question! To me, it feels cheap and middling. I’m concerned HYV will push this tendency forward. Furina better be running her heels out of this game. Fanservice was, undoubtedly, always a part of Genshin. But it was more subtle, not that aggressive. Like, Fontaine’s vibe was all about copying a gothic whimsical mysterious 2010-ish manga style like Black Butler or my precious darling Pandora Hearts. And that, comrade, was a fanservice specifically for me. I’m a key audience for this genre, I grew up on manga I mentioned earlier. But the thing is, that kind of fanservice actually serves to give characters more depth, along with not putting their sexuality into the focus point. Now we have a classic shounen in the form of Natlan, and, along with shounen, another popular genre — harem! I think they’re trying to attract the audience with any way possible. It’s pathetic.

consider yourself lucky: you won’t fall a victim of me cracking awful jokes about my fatherlessness. at least now I have an anime gacha father :D it took 79 pity but I’m a meta slave so the big numbers will be worth it.

UPD: I tested her at 70 and 80 lvl and damn she’s a rockstar

[riicky-ye]

you don’t understand

I am SO normal about this being applied to Focalors/Furina/whatever name she had before ascending as the god of Justice.

I mean, Focalors split herself in two, but the most of her is within Furina, not within Focalors-from-the-machine (in this post called the Oratrice). Furina is Focalors’ body, her spirit, her soul. In a sense, Focalors is dead. Well, we all know that. But what we don’t consider enough is that she was dead for the last 500 years. The moment she stopped being Focalors (or whatever name she had before ascending as the god of Justice) and started being Furina&the Oratrice, she was dead.

Furina is like a flower blossoming upon the flesh long rotten, bones white and fragile. Like an empty shell left by its owner. Like both a haunted house and it’s new owner, not understanding why their favourite plates are flying and who’s that invisible someone walking in the night. I like to think she has some kind of a muscle memory belonging to Focalors. I mean, she has her sense of justice. Maybe it’s not everything that is left. Maybe there’s something else. Dreams she tend to forget the moment she wakes up; glimpses of landscapes she never saw; songs she never heard; the way sword’s pommel is sitting in her hand like it’s finally home (why else would Focalors hold a sword, if not to wield it?)

Yes, Furina is her own person. But before becoming Furina, she was also someone else, and these two statements coexist and intertweave. If she weren’t this someone else, she could not become Furina.

I think it’s just a crime to leave this arc unexplored the way it is unexplored in Furina’s story. This predicament is so gut-wrenching, so interesting for her character’s growth. But no, we are sticking to an uwu girlfail who suffered so so so much please pity her!!! Furina doesn’t need pity. She need to process her grief upon losing a part of herself. She need to learn why Focalors — why she did all of this. Who she was. Where her footsteps were. Why does the sword pommel is sitting in her hand like it’s finally home.

She need to learn all of this, accept it and move forward, knowing who Focalors was — and who Furina is. And who they will be tomorrow in this changing world of theirs.

So, uh, do you remember me saying some time ago I’m not a fan of Arlecchino and will not pull for her? Long story short, I changed my mind. I saw what a terrible nasty Mary Sue Mavuika is, and suddenly I felt something akin to sympathy for Peruere. Sorry, father. I had my expectations too high. Please come home. I have a really good Glad set for you, and the staff of Homa on top of that. I really don’t want to spend my free time to build Mavuika (I got her from 10 pulls January 1st to check the New Year Miracle and my reaction was: “well, I can’t expel you. since you came, you can stay”)

So yeah. Father, come home. I’ll draw you a pretty picture of yourself if you come home.
