[protect-namine]

the thing about venti is that he doesn't embody freedom so much as he nurtures it. venti is who he is today because the people taught him to love and he returned that tenfold. the people were the first to teach him autonomy and freedom, and his response is to protect that ideal

I just really love mondstadt's relationship with their "absentee" archon a lot. there's something almost poetic about how just by being themselves, they sort of "created" their own god. a wind wisp became their archon by observing and living with them (ofc I'm oversimplifying it)

as described in freedom sworn, it's the anemo archon who actually takes on his region's characteristics, not the other way around. it is not that mondstadt is the nation of freedom because of venti, but that venti is the god of freedom because of mondstadt. and now you have that same archon asking what I will argue is actually the best quote of genshin, "what is freedom when demanded of you by a god?"

Focalors looks so... Well-fed... I wonder if her mobility is impacted by the fact her belly enters the room before she does...

“My back certainly hurts at all times, and my poor, poor chafed inner thighs~”

She smiled, a finger reaching into her bellybutton and hoisting it up a bit.

“But… I can tell you wanted something more severe by that adorable expression…~”

“How about you help ensure my mobility worsens further more?~”

Focalors grinned as the queen approached, having been pleasantly surprised by her arrival.

"Vine, my dear~!" she said, her tone rather loud and holding a small measure of excitement. "To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?~"

"You know, since you love to run that mouth of yours, I think it's time for you to put your words to action." This imp liked to talk a big game, but could he back it up.

"Tell you what; because I am feeling generous, I will fight you fair and square: No magical powers or magical weapons, which include angelic weapons. We will fight with ordinary weapons, and you may use whichever ones you'd like.Then we shall see if you can put up, or shut up. And perhaps I will even shut it for you.

What say you, imp?"

Now I want to hear both Furina and Focalors say the full Hydro Gemstone quote.

[primowishes]

//Anyway tho, I also like thinking about how Ei saw her creation and thought he would be too gentle to bear the gnosis as she had intended him to, and instead "set him free" from it (in her view) without giving him the choice. And then on the other hand there is Focalors after Furina's creation as a result of her splitting her divinity from humanity, and Focalors had a burden for Furina to take that would objectively cause her to suffer, and still asked whether she would take it on anyway. Something about them both intended to carry burdens that would make them suffer, but only one having the choice to take it, the other having the choice denied to them

'Je remue le ciel, le jour, la nuit Je danse avec le vent, la pluie Un peu d'amour, un brin de miel Et je danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, danse...

Et dans le bruit, je cours et j'ai peur Est-ce mon tour? Vient la douleur Dans tout Paris, je m'abandonne

Et je m'envole, vole, vole, vole, vole, vole, vole...'

     » » @deprcvities dares to ask; ❝ 💔💤💯 - Focalor ❞

     From Curious Minds Inquiring

   » What are three of your oc’s negative traits? — The most prominent and obvious of the negative traits Focalor has is that he is very untrusting. To him, everyone has some kind of ulterior motive, some kind of outcome they want from him, or some means to use him in their own goals for themselves. He's exceedingly critical of positive gestures, and it takes far more of them to actually warm him up. He is also self-destructive. As he is, Focalor believes there is nothing good left for him, having lost all he ever knew and loved when he fell; he won't fear anything or anyone that brings him pain, because to him, there is no fate worse than what he's already been condemned to live. Finally, he is extremely ill-tempered and quick to anger. Being a man with limitless time to live has actually worn his patience to the bone, and now he's swift to dismiss others or shut down conversations he doesn't like (which tend to be a lot) or just snap outright at the source of his ire with unfiltered, unrestrained verbal venom.

   » Is your oc a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? How are their sleeping habits? — What he does can barely be described as "sleeping" most of the time. Usually he takes very light naps where he can immediately wake up if needed, up until his body forces him to finally get something resembling a few hours of rest; it's only in these crashing periods that Focalor sleeps so deeply that nothing short of a world-shaping cataclysmic event will rouse him. He neglects sleeping due to his constant suspicion of demons, and always feeling unsafe, unable to trust being so vulnerable.

   » Share three random facts about your oc that others may not know. — Something Focalor does to contain his anger when he is alone is fold origami, and he tends to carry some paper around on him for this purpose. He's actually undeniably talented at it too, making intricate, interlocking pieces that are whole works of art unto themselves.

Despite what people may think by his appearance, Focalor is strong. He trains at a gym nearly every day, and this puts him in a tier of physical prowess near Beelzebub; while he isn't as strong as the Avatar of Gluttony, he's nothing to scoff at either.

Focalor can communicate with birds of any kind, and can perfectly mimic nearly every species of bird calls — even down to the various subtle nuances that distinguish what they mean. He can sometimes be found by the pier speaking in bird tongues with the very avians perched there and giving them signs when they can swoop in and steal food from passersby.

What are the best ways to worship a deity as great and as voluptuous as you?

“Why, food! And naturally of course, a physical appreciation of my voluptuous physique~”

The shape of the Focalors~

@keeperofanswers

Focalors was not one to mingle with most goetia, only showing up to functions and meetings when summoned. While there were a few she got along well with, Gusion wasn't one of them. She found her fellow Duke to be far too stuffy and uptight, not unlike Paimon whom she also cared little for but listened to out of respect for their stations.

When she found herself on his doorstep, a heavy sigh left her beak as she was shown in and to his study.

"Dare I ask why you summoned me out of the blue?" she asked, her tone one of boredom as she placed a hand on her hip.

[a-hell-of-a-time]

Focalors.

[viisiond]

Once upon a time in a land so far away Was an noble kingdom that no person dared to face Ruling with an iron fist and standing center stage Was a noble princess only ??? years of age Knowing her beheading is at three this very eve Listen to the sound because the bell will toll for thee Once a wealthy archon, now a prisoner to die What could she be thinking in her jail cell tonight?

✏️ Focalors and Kitsune Neka~

Incorrect quotes time!

Focalors: Fellas, I gotta know for science. Is the opposite of red green or blue? Neka: Technically a mix of green and blue? Focalors: So blurple. Neka: That's implying you're mixing blue and purple. Focalors: Would you rather have fucking bleen? MOTHERFUCKING GRUE? Neka: You were confusing before but now I'm scared.

Neka, at Focalors's funeral: I need a moment with them. Everyone: Of course. They leave Neka, leaning over Focalors′s coffin: Okay, listen here you little shit. I know you’re not dead. Focalors: Yeah, no shit.

Neka: If we’re in trouble, just throw Focalors at the problem, and hope for the best.
