#Then i know the neuvifuri's got me

[tacobellebandit]

Sometimes I see Neuvifuri art and I'm just like "I don't go here but... wow 😳" (positively ofc)

[genshinlesbian]

Y’all don’t even understand I love Neuvillette sooo so much

[sovamurka]

a true gift for neuvifuri/focallette nation is mihoyo commissioning sasha trusova to do furina routine 😊

[ofoceansandtombsanew]

Can I ask, if you have top favorite romantic couples (can be canon or non canon) of all time from any media? Why love them? Thx :D

... now this, took a minute to answer in some ways. There a lot of ships I like, so this was really easy and hard to answer at the same time. Some ships it was an immediate yep yep and others I had to go '... but is it a fav of all time, though?" But I think I got it narrowed down.

So here we go, fav ships of all time from any media, no particular order. I didn't get any specific no. to do so I'll just list a handful until I can't think of any others. (Anyone who comes across this that sees a ship on here you don't like and feels the need to say something about it, stay in your lane this ain't about your opinions it's about mine.)

The main FMA ships

Arakawa Hiromu, nigga, you cooked. Imma just put the FMA ships as one and leave it there because if I do it separately, we'll be here all day. But if you wanna see me diving into why I like these ships in a manic ramble, here's a post I made on that here. The romance in FMA is literally a category and a discussion all on its own that I can go about on for hours. FMA has the best romances in shounen so anyone who has consumed FMA will know what I'm talking about. Like, whenever anyone tries to use a manga being 'shounen' to justify shitty romantic writing, I point at FMA's brilliant riding. An animanga's demographic is not an excuse for terrible executions in romance. EdWin, RoyAi, LingFan, AlMei and all the side ships drank and left no molecules.

NaruSaku

Toxic shippers, again, stay in your lane, I don't feel like dealing with y'all any day. I have been shipping this shit for years, always have, always will. Ignore the fact I ship Sakura with literally everyone from the Akatsuki to Hinata to Sai to Shikamaru. (Y'all I used to look up Kisame/Sakura fics, unironically TAT). (Same for Naruto honestly, I've shipped him with Sasuke, Ino, Temari, Tenten, the list goes on and on.) The way Sakura goes from finding Naruto annoying to almost dying multiple times to keep him safe, I will never EVER be over that. Naruto's love going from puppy to something as passionately red as the thread of fate itself. The MinaKushi parallels. I have a lot (and I mean a lot) of ships in Naruto pertaining to these two, but NaruSaku is my absolute favorite. Like it was literally confirmed that Sakura got over Sasuke and then it got retconned for some bullshit. Saying it with my whole chest, argue with a wall, it should have been them. I won't dog any other ships, but yeah, it should have been them. 699 chapters of Naruto being in love with one woman, I sing the praises everyday.

SakuHina

Hinata's prince charming is literally Sakura. I have a whole ass fic I am slowly, painstakingly writing about what Naruto would have been like if Hinata had a crush on Sakura the whole time. I just think they're really cute together, have amazing chemistry and balance each other out. I didn't expect to like SakuHina as much as I did but here we are.

Kyoru

I mentioned it before in another answered ask but Fruits Basket was my first manga (if you're curious what my first anime was, it was Yu Yu Hakusho) and Kyoru was probably my first OTP. There are two characters I think upon so many rewatches and rereads that were prime game for who Kyo and Tohru could have ended up with had things been different (which, I do really ship as well. Multishipper here guys) but I'm not mad about the endgames that we got. From start to finish, Kyo and Tohru's relationship is beautiful and you can feel how strongly they feel for one another. It's like, wow, Takaya really gave us one of the best ships in shoujo and didn't even apologize for it.

Klance

Red + Blue = True. They had chemistry, supplemented for what the other lacked and we really don't need to have me diving into the bs that was VLD. That show wasn't even out long, my god, it was a mess.

NeuviFuri

Should I explain to you the romanticism of Hydro x Hydro? Oof how I love them. A Genshin ship after my own heart, truly. But if anyone is trying to against MiHoyoverse (I was here from the Mihoyo days, leave me alone) in terms of seeing who ships NeuviFuri more, we all lose. They literally paid people to do an ice dancing program in NeuviFuri cosplay, paid a guy to make a companion piece to Furina's song from Neuvillette's perspective and several other animations concerning their relationship in some way. But the Mihoyoverse shenanigans aside, it's the build up of 400+ years of working together, the care they still have for one another and yes the complementary abilities and color palettes. Not enough time in the day to talk about them, I don't think.

AriDante

Almost thought I wouldn't have a gif for them, then I remembered THEY GOT A MOVIE. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe is one of my favorite books in the world. I have reread it once a year religiously since 2017 when I first discovered it. This is such a beautiful novel and relationship and if you haven't had the pleasure of reading it or the sequel, please do yourself a favor and buy it or rent it from your local library. It's just, the way Ari has been in love with Dante for so long and didn't even realize it but it's so, so clear to the reader because of just how he talks and describes him? I don't even want to go to deep into this one just in case there's someone here that hasn't read this book because it deserves to be read and experienced blind. Just, just please y'all read it.

[archonfurina]

why do you ship neuvifuri? /g this ship is just lost on me because i didn’t read any of their interactions as romantic — i just wanna understand why it’s such a popular ship 😭😭😭

Hii okay so I don't usually like 'defending' my otp but because you seem to genuinely want to know I'll answer. But I'm also curious if you ship anyone in Fontaine because none of them had any romantic interactions. Least of all Neuvillette. But anyway, the following are my own opinions and I can't say if everyone else sees them the same way.

I put off doing Fontaine questline for months, because I had lost interest in Genshin so I missed all fandom reactions etc, I don't know how popular whatever ships are. When I finally played it, I was neutral about things until the final archon quest. When that Focalors cutscene happened with Neuvillette, my eyes kinda opened. I shipped them first before Neuvifuri. His openly shocked/upset/devastated reactions to her were something new, since he hardly emoted before and we hadn't really seen his feelings. And the way he talked about Furina to Focalors, with so much concern and care for her because she's only human with such a huge burden. So then I went on my other account and replayed the whole questline to record it for gifs, because I'd fallen in love with Furina and her story.

They ruled Fontaine together for 400 years. Furina called Neuvillette to serve as the Iudex (though it was Focalors' idea), and Furina taught him to love humanity and open himself up to people. He's like her familiar the way Dvalin is Venti's and Yae Miko is Ei's. Whether it's platonic or romantic, they're each other's most important person and they love and care for each other. In the AQ, Neuvillette becomes increasingly frustrated with Furina because she isn't letting him in and is being secretive. Yet he keeps closing his eyes (literally, in some cases) to Furina's pain, like he's done for hundreds of years.

Neuvillette is enchanted by Furina's performances on stage, and wanted her to return there in Furina's story quest, and said his appreciation of her was always genuine and he wishes she knew that. Even in his voice line about her he says if she were to return to the stage, he would attend the performance and give her his heartfelt applause.

He gave her a special vision, possibly the first vision since he gained his full powers. If you look closer, it has dragon claws on it.

In the AQ, Furina fooling the heavenly principles wouldn't have worked without Neuvillette. He forgave the people of Fontaine and together they prevented the prophecy. Even though it was all Focalor's plan, and Furina did the hardest part, if Furina hadn't made Neuvillette care for the people it wouldn't have worked.

Immediately after the AQ when Furina had to leave Palais Mermonia, he got her a new apartment, and he said he will provide her with food, clothing, travel, whatever she wants. Meanwhile Furina's voice lines say it's been a while since she went to the Palais and that she thinks it's better for the both of them. Ouch. She's even avoiding him in Liyue.

There's insane angst and potential for a tragic ship. Furina lied to him for centuries, and now thinks it's better if they don't meet. She was incredibly lonely yet she couldn't confide in him, her closest friend. She's now mortal as well, whereas Neuvillette is a dragon. So she can actually get hurt, and die.

Plus they're beautiful together. They have matching color schemes, height difference, they have amazing synergy in combat. Their in-game abilities complement each other. Like they were made for each other.

An excerpt from the next chapter in my Neuvifuri fic!!!

--------

It was cold. Damp. Wet.

I couldn't move.

I couldn't breathe.

My body felt heavy. My arms felt numb.

What was on my cheeks?

Tears?

Was I crying?

Water…

I realized there was water everywhere.

An entire city flooded under like a scene from a nightmare. The water was foggy, murky blue, and blurry.

I couldn't see anything.

In fact, I could barely move my arms. I somehow manage to lift them up though, to wipe the strange tears flowing down my cheeks.

It was hopeless. I've never felt this much dread in my life. Like someone's hand just gripped my stomach and dragged it to the pits of hell.

“Why?” My voice cried out without my consent. It was like my body was moving on its own.

“Even though I did everything right…” My whimpers were lost in the undersea wreckage. Like a bubble that simply popped in the ocean.

“Why must it all end like this?” My voice was cracking, desperate, pleading even. “Did those 500 years amount to nothing?”

I didn't understand what I was saying. I don't understand the emotions coursing through my body but I did know something.

I wanted to comfort this version of me.

I wanted to tell this to myself, to the me in tears in front of me, I wanted to tell her that everything will be ok.

I reach out towards her…even though I am her.

Somehow I grasped her shoulders with my hands, like my facade faded out of her body like some specter.

I took this chance to embrace her…or I guess myself.

“It's okay, Furina.” I tighten my hug around her.” You don't have to hide your tears anymore.” Someone needed to tell her this…because no one else will.

---------

HAHA!

I hope I got you hooked with that!

Here if u wanna see the chapter when it drops!

[geewintg]

The Memory With Dusk (Neuvifuri post)

Listening to the new genshin ep got me writing, especially that one melody huhu it reminded me of that moment again (spoilers for those who haven't done 4.2 Archon quest)

--

"Farewell, Neuvillette. I hope you've enjoyed the part you played these five hundred years."

A mournful goodbye, yet softly uttered with satisfaction. By a calm, resolute voice, matured by divinity, yet said by an all-too familiar face with the same capturing smile.

And bow she did--an ending to this opera they shared, to the people she served, to the nation she saved. And to him, who has witnessed it all. Their sole long-standing audience.

A ball stuck in his throat, he couldn't utter a word.

Only a reaching hand in desperation as the melodies end in grandiose. And so is their act.

Furina--! He woke up, heaving in sweat.

Lingering regret brought by the tides, he dreams of that moment again and again. But he thanked fate--against his better judgment--that the Furina he knows is safe.

[calqlate]

now, i don't ship neuvifuri since i view their relationship as one that's similar to that between zhongli and hu tao (a tired old man and his energetic teenage daughter), but why does their dynamic remind me of jinshim and jungrok in touch your heart?

furina's an actress who's trying to make her comeback after a scandal (honestly, god knows what). to fully immerse herself in a new role she got casted in, she works as a secretary for neuvillette, a successful lawyer who has at least a 99% win rate. hijinks ensue, and furina goes from "wow this guy is such a bore" to "gee he's actually kinda cute in an introverted recluse kinda way???".

Three Ships:

Decho - This is the ship between my character Echo and @aprobleminthegarden’s character Des for @messianicfigure’s dungeon world campaign. We took a long break from playing and decided to do a timeskip when we started again. Steph and I talked about doing a slow burn romance between our characters who ostensibly dislike each other, but have each come to harbor secret feelings they’re too stubborn to own up to. And I got to surprise everyone by having Echo come back from the timeskip with a shitty evil boyfriend! And it turns out Des spent the break traveling with Echo’s twin sister and they’ve gotten close in a way that irks Echo. The girls are pining and jealous!!

Neuvifuri - This is the ship between the genshin characters Neuvillette and Furina, and after the most recent archon quest, I’ve been obsessed with them. They’ve been partners for 500 years but now they’re divorced. Furina is keeping her distance because she thinks Neuvillette hates her now, and Neuvillette wants her back hard but is trying to respect her space. If you follow me here and like genshin but haven’t followed my side blog, it’s @neuvifuri :)

Drowley - This is the ship between supernatural characters Dean and Crowley. Just finished season 10 and I can’t believe how much they fucked. What the hell. Crowley is whipped. What the hell. What the fuck. Canon kings!

OK. THANK YOU TUMBLR URL @THELUNATICGHOST FOR SPONSORING ME AND MY THOUGHTS.

[im going to use he/him pronouns for furina (and focalors by extension]

furina genshin impact. you know him, the guy who acted a part in a play that wasnt his own play for like 500 years the guy who yes, can be annoying but is honestly just a silly little guy!! thats all he is!! thats all hes ever wanted to be; himself

furina genshin impact is in canon, a she/her, i heavily disagree with this because of his design, and his overal character being made 1) from someone else and 2) "[he] was made to be the perfect human" that focalors created for himself, focalors is also trans but more genderfuckery because his gender is Divinity and also dead. anyways.

focalors design is a mirror image of furina's "archon" outfit the light one, pneuma version i believe, and in focalors top part of the dress, its quite revealing! theres a lot of chest skin showing there and the most important thing about this; flat. literally no tiddy there at all in the slightest.

now because focalors made furina based on himself, they have the exact same body, just duplicated, meaning! furina also has literally no tiddy!! nothing!! zip zilch na da!!! he has a very rectangular torso (adding evidence to my transmasc idea), even if he did have canon tits (which he does not this is proven) he is purposefully covering them up with the french ass ruffles hes got going on up there, /purposefully/ covering.

the most exposed furinas design is, is his legs, he has rather short shorts (akin to hu tao who Also has no titty but there is room to see a curve there because hu tao doesnt have. the chest ruffles) ((this could lead to how hu taos design is also quite tmasc coded but sadly enough im not a hu tao insaner)) so i could Maybe sort of if i squint real hard i can see why people would want to exaggerate the legs a little

But when people ( the horny + uninformed.. usually..) give him the most hourglass shape figure?? or even Big Boobs im like??????? first off did yall play the archon quest and second ????????? of all genshin characters you think furina deserves boobs??? Flawed logic he is not who you think he is, like even ignoring my headcanons In Canon he is very much jus living his best life being a theater director !!!!!!! hes not an actor anymore !!!!!! furina genshin impact is the wrong character to put your horny beams on !!!!

and for the people in the back

Furina Genshin Impact Is The Wrong Character to Put Your Horny Beam On

does any of this make much sense? probably not,, do i care not rlly i jus hate how the fandom treats him so so so so much its why i cant really consume fancontent of him anymore that isnt made by a trusted mutual of mine, we are saving him from fanons grabby dirty hands and putting him in our own grabby dirty hands :3

what makes it worse is neuvifuri. there are people who believe that neuvifuri are either 1) father/daughter (this is the same crowd who think zhongxiao are also father/son) 2) siblings or 3) a cishet married couple with furina as the UwU Wifey and neuvi as the gigachad husband.

These are All Wrong

pushing most of my headcanons aside, literally in canon neuvi is the one constantly down bad for furi, Constantly!!!! he had a moment of realisation in the archon quest, realising he appreciates furina a lot more than he first thought he did (see furina story quest AND neuvi birthday letter)

and also in canon furina is Terrified of losing him, so he distanced himself (see his about neuvillette line)

now headcanon territory kinda ; neuvi watched focalors fucking Die in front of him, whilst givhim the original dragon power back, that shit was still traumatising as all hell , i think neuvi is just as equally afraid of losing furi as furi is of losing him

,, if i keep going i wont stop about how much i adore their specific dynamic but ANYWAYS. back to the point;

Fanon is Wrong

(have an old doodle as thanks for reading,,,)

thank you for reading all this, it sounded more composed in my head i swear i jus uwauwuuawu biting fandom so hard

[furinabakery]

Hi! Im from somewhere sa twitter! A lurker to be exact. Ive read some of your works sa ao3 and it makes me so delusional bcs some of it are filo in setting. Im here to share my unsolicited brainrot bcs i saw sa tweets mo na you want to write crack au. Ror

This is mildly inspired form a reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Philippines/s/pRpJLoupHf

So what if furina anak sa labas ng isang 1% but she feels like she dont belong there. She knows how the system of elite works, the lifestyle, the chismis, the whos who (sarcastically ofc) but find it all so Boringgggg! I mean, why do i even botherrrrrrrr *insert furina's voice*. Decided to get out of the ultra rich lifestyle after her estranged father's death (who just took her in para masabing "maayos" yung fam nila) to pursue her passion which is film. Pero di nagbabasa ng last will and testament which states taht hindi niya makukuha yung trust fund niya until mag graduate siya ng college kaya naging starving artist "para sa sining" stereotype of a student. Ginusto niya yun kaso yung drastic change ng lifestyle makes her struggle a lottt which includes doing a lot of first times like magcommute, maghanap ng part time, mag process ng sariling govt id, maglinis ng cr etc.

One night, after her shift sa burgeran ni aling nena jk, nagising siya na nakasandal sa shoulders ni neuvi sa jeep na nakapark kasi tapos na yung byahe and neuv is nahihiya na manggising lol. It was awkward at first but nakita niya yung watch ni neuv and by her past extravagant lifestyle knowledge its was a real cosmograph daytona rolex 116509 which she finds cute as the color blue complements him. She deduced that he might be a new money guy(bcs noveu riche types tend to buy that brand) and for him to be wearing that on a jeep means hes a superclueless dumbass that doesnt know how the world works or he doesnt care and is just a walking charity for a magnanakaw (spoiler: both). She was puzzled kasi if ever na hes REALLY like superduper rich in this country she should know him or at least be familiar with but hindi which is very weird. Bumaba na siya ng siya ng jeep at maglakad pauwi kaso sinundan siya ni neuv like a lost which creeps her. Then narinig niya na hiniholdap si neuv sa likod na willingly binigay agad yung watch to furina's horror her body moved at hinabol yung magnanakaw and blurted out if meron mang makikinabang sa relo na yun it should be her and not the magnanakaw bcs she saw it first. Furina throw one of her shoes tapos natamaan sa ulo yung magnanakaw sa ulo na nanging dahilan para mabitawan yung relo papunta sa highway. Furina chases it but neuvi pulled her back before she was abt to be hit by a truck. Furina screamed in disdain when the watch was destroyed. Tapos nagaway sila ni neuv abt how that watch worth is nothing compared to someones life furina retorted not when it was her life etc angst angst until bakit ba sinusundan ni neuv si furina turns out makikihiram siya ng phone kasi his drad battery daw siya and nawala yung luggage niya sa airport like Icocontact lang niya fam niya abroad. In the end sinamahan ni furina si neuv sa money exchanger para magpapalit ng foreign money para may pangkain sila. They ate pares sa sidewalk at 4 am.

WWAHHAHAHAHA turns out neuv has some hotshot new money billionaire parent who got rich thru stockmarkets and is now a silicon valley tycoon na may asawang pinoy , him being their son, they wanted him to get in touch with her roots, and build connection here by studying law and econ etc so when the time comes na mageexpand sila sa ph, neuv will handle it. Hindi naman nagtaka si furina bcs her initial assessment sa kanya is correct lol. Insert neuvifuri mutual semi-codependency adventures abt them surviving and finding a place where they belong in this new living set-up which includes neuvilette a clueless puppy paying her to give him intel abt his classmates (like a background check and chismis) in pursuit of good connections and potential investors for the future, touring him around the metro and exposing him to how this country really works sprinkled with moral dilemma ng pagiging mayaman at mahirap. Until furina's past comes back haunting her lol

Maybe a tired-i-dunno-what-todo-but-i-need-to-survive-college-for-that-trust-fund furina and stoic-but-im-trying-to-understand-things-and-humanity-like-a-fish-out-of-water neuvilette dynamics with hepa lane and national museum dates to making a tierlist kung anong pinakamasarap na sardinas sa market.

Ps. Insert Zhongli as a politician nepobaby hehe wink wink nudgenudge

-r

ANON I LOVE THIS SO MUCH first saw this last week at ilang araw ko na siyang iniisip 😭 as a teleserye enjoyer patok na patok sa 'kin 'to fr 🙏

i can imagine this playing out a la 80s/90s pinoy college flicks (mga Rico Yan films ganun; saka Labs Kita Okey Ka Lang, Moral, etc), complete with the adventures the vibes and the college barkada 😅 considering Furina's personality i can't imagine her not having a lively friend group (tho she keeps her real social status from them)! and once Neuvi is in the picture, i imagine Furina would introduce him sa barkada as her "new friend", then the entire group shares knowing looks :3 but they welcome him to their group and they go to fun college stuff together!

feel ko considering that Neuvi is rich also there's no way he can't sense that Furi is not exactly the "starving artist" person she presents herself to be? like maybe he won't be able to pinpoint kung sino talaga siya ganun but he'd *sense* something "off" in her demeanor, her aura, in the way she's not quite like their other friends... and i think this is where the tension and the connection can come in... yeah they have their friend group but there are things abt each other that only they can understand. and even tho the friend group welcomed Neuvi, for some reason he's not quite at ease with them as he is with Furi, so ayun mas madalas tuloy silang dalawa lang ang magkasama.

'DI KO PA MAISIP HOW EXACTLY FURI'S PAST WILL COME TO THE PICTURE but you really really really got me at the Zhongli bit... LORD... LORD LORD... alam naman natin na ang political dynasties natin dito, ang ancestors ay mga landlords na ilang siglo nang namumuno sa bansa, so of course if Zhongli is a nepo baby politician, he knows who Furi is. i'm also considering what if Furi and Zhongli's families arranged them into marriage etc... sorry hilaw pa talaga ideas ko dito i'm just dumping playing around with concepts

Zhongli in canon is supportive of the idea of humans leading things their own way, so i think he'd be supportive naman of Furi's pursuits? like he won't be an antagonistic type of second-lead who'd be so controlling, who'd discourage her from her adventures. but he'd definitely disapprove of whatever-Nvfr-has-going-on LMAOO feel ko ano, since Neuvi is this clueless person who clings to Furi (in a way), Zhongli would perceive it as smth like, Neuvi-is-an-incompetent-person-who-holds-Furi-back? imagine kasi oh, imbis na Furi is focusing on herself and on doing what she wants, she also has to help Neuvi with stuff ganun. ta's maiisip ni Zhongli, "naku kung ako 'yan 'di kita gaganiyanin" EMZ but like Zhongli would think he can provide Furi stability, complete support, if ever she'd need it. he thinks he can be her rest, kumbaga— and this, he believes, is smth the "clueless incompetent" Neuvi can't give her.

WAIT WHY AM I DETAILING ON ZHONGLI ALL OF A SUDDEN ugh sorry this is rly how i go every time that grandpa is involved 😔 anyway i still imagine this will be Nvfr endgame

I HAVE MORE THOUGHTS ON THIS THAT I JUST CAN'T ARTICULATE YET (medyo nagmamadali rin ako ngayon PLEASE i'm typing this during my commute) PERO AYAN MUNA NGAYON 🙏 thank you so much for sharing this with me, anon ❤ if you have more to say on this pls feel free to drop by in my inbox again!! (or kahit sa DMs ko, since you're from Twt naman, if you're comf with that!!!!)

[chengfagshi]

I swear Genshin has the most obnoxious fans in the fandom. I usually tend to just block any “daily character” accounts because they’re usually run by antis. And guess what? I was correct

there’s a new npc who is regarded as a goth wolf man (his hair is slightly shaped like wolf ears) and he’s coupled with a smol cute nurse in the prison facility they both work at. The nurse belongs to a long life race of short and animal like beings called “Melusine”, though this specific character looks closer to a human than the others

people mostly ship her with the goth wolf because of her pastel like color palette that goes well with the muted grey/black/red colors of the wolf man. But because she’s short, this daily account and many others regard her as a child even though again, she belongs to a race that is much much older than the guy she’s shipped with. She also has a job and worked as a nurse much longer too

There are also 3 other characters that fit the trope, 2 of them have the same petite body size, 1 looks more like a 15-16 yo but shipping all 3 of them (or shipping the last one with a man actually) is considered “pedophilia”

and I’m tired that antis contribute to watering down pedophilia and force it to apply to fictional characters or short people in general

Kind of unrelated but interesting I got this ask about Sigewrio because I just answered an ask where I mentioned them.

But onto the topic, omfg, I know what daily account you're talking about. The person also goes onto say things "People who ship this should be behind bars" for shipping adults??? Or there's a SigeWrio acct I follow who made a post about m/f shipping and how people act like m/f shippers are shipping that purely out of spite for f/f, m/m. And someone was like "You had a good point but you ship an adult and child" and I'm fucking....SIGEWINNE IS NOT A FUCKING MINOR. Like antis love to throw around the harkness test as a gotcha for why 🔞 furry would be okay but 🔞 loli would not. But by their own logic, Sigewinne would pass the harkness test because she is an adult. Like I love SigeWrio because I adore the pastel/goth, bunny/wolf aesthetic. I always have. The size difference is just an added bonus for me. It's also frustrating that my favorite ships from Genshin end up having discourse over them even when they're not problematic at all (like Diluc x Venti and Neuvifuri omfg don't even get me started)

[mlmfocalette]

hello ^^ huge neuvifuri fan here who has been shipping them since leaks came out tbh, here to infodump why i, personally, enjoy them as much as i do :3

(heed this warning; i do headcanon furina/focalors as a trans man so if you see me use he/him pronouns that is why, be not confused, jus my personal thing)

first off as soon as the very first fontaine trailer was released we see them together in the end shot! that small short scene alone sets up an amazing dynamic, even platonically. "Ugh boring!" "please refrain from levity in the court" sets us up with some assumptions already, that these two characters will have some interesting interactions, that these two know each other, and that they work together in some form or capacity, also furi is burning a piece of paper, this never got explained but god i loved it anyways

after that we play through the archon quest, we meet furina first as dramatic and loud as he was acting as he did, and neuvi second, a polite lurker in the shadows, confirming part of what we saw in the first fontaine trailer, further along this same quest we see them interact for the first time in the court; neuvi predicts furina is about to walks off and calls him out on it, confirming another part of the trailer; that they know each other /well/

and even further down the line we find out neuvi is the hydro dragon sovreign, meaning hes been around for possibly however long furina has, if not longer, making him ( in my opinion) hard to ship with anyone who isnt an archon and thats not because of age or anything its mostly like, Vibes, he has the old man vibe who doesnt understand memes and would call them "me-me"s or something, akin to zhongli, but not the point-- the point is neuvi is dragon, ageless, furina is archon, somewhat ageless as well, even after act V

when the traveler gets to go to the fortress of meropide as the ploy Tee Ehm, neuvi purposefully uses furinas cake, and maybe furina let him, who knows but the fact that he was comfortable enough to not get yelled at by furina for eating or giving away his treats is inexplicably soulmate-behavior to me

which brings me to my next point; focalors, focalors in the quest as we see him is immediately like "hello ^w^ im going to die now have your dragon powers back thank you neuvi" neuvi, having lived alongside and closely at that (remember that one scene furina was almost In His lap? that proves this in my view), with furi, just witnesses his other half Dissolve in front of his eyes, it was at that moment he realised he'd have a much darker life without furina, hence his extreame emotion with the following cutscene, hence the heavy heavy rain

in my opinion, and this part is all theory here, focalors made furina as human as he /could/ this does not mean furi no longer has any divinity at all because well, ,, if an archon makes a human clone of themselves can they really be rid of all divinity within that human? i think not, i think furina has always has like .5% divinity in him at all times, this is what keeps him alive this is his "curse" focalors gave him, this is why he is the only fontainian diver who sparkles when he jumps out of the water

furthermore, i think neuvi knew this and was genuinely confused at furina's court trial, he didnt know about focalors' deception, but he knew furina, very well, he knows furina couldnt be human because of how long hes lived but he knew furina was a little too frail as an archon, he's always seen through furina's theatrics, even at the start (i do not remember exactly where it was but that one scene where he tells the traveler furina is up in the vip seats in the courthouse and will get embarrassed if you ignore him for too long)

jumping a little ahead to the present fontaine now; Furina's Vision. what is the deal with furina's vision? why did he get a vision? why does his vision casing have teeth? fangs? on it?? and if theres no fontainian hydro divinity, no gnosis no connection to celestia well who gave him this vision in the first place?

Neuvillette.

the dragon power, the power hidden within every single archon gnoses, was given back to the hydro dragon, cutting off all hydro ties to celestia, dragon power thieves, focalors was anti-celestia, neuvi is anti-celestia, the whole of fontaine hates celestia ( a little on accident ) because of the prophecy in the first place !

Neuvillette, finally having whats rightfully his, decided to give his first and only vision (so far) to /furina/ of all people in teyvat, he was watching furina's play, he was noticing furina's own broken promise, he was loving every thing about furina in that moment and that is why he gave furi a vision

i am very normal about them :>

Neuvifuri nation I forgot to tell y'all that I did Furina's SQ with the intent of seeing what all the Neuvifuri hubbub was about, and I regret to inform you all that I still don't get it. 😔 I tried. In my head they feel more like two halves of the same person to me than anything else. They don't feel like friends, they don't feel familial, and they don't feel romantic. They're a secret fourth thing (darn secret nth thing syndrome >:/).

I actually genuinely wanna understand because in fanart and stuff it's such a pretty pairing and I wish I got it like y'all did but I just don't see it.

Anyway, what about it is appealing to y'all? I don't mean this sarcastically. I mean it genuinely. Tell me all about it! Infodump as much as you want! I'm a Neuvia fan, but I love analyzing character interactions and behaviors and I'd really enjoy discussing this, so feel free!
