exactly and yeah, obv that post was a joke, so im going to move this to separate post, but like its so showing what the joke was about - how focalors is somehow selfish, like she enjoyed furina's suffering or the entire situation, and a lot of posts in focalors' tag or even asks in my inbox have same ideas - that she was unfeeling, inhuman, how she was "morally grey" character who "did bad things". and the only example of "bad things" that were actually on her and not on celestia or egeria i saw ppl cite is her not being like properly sad when talking about furina. right before she sacrificed herself for furina. like???

and not to say i'm against morally grey female characters, i have username after rhinedottir ffs, but i think ppl need to examine their criterias for who deserves label of "morally grey character", bc focalors doesn't. she was put into a horrible situation she neither chose nor created, and she agonized over solution, until she found what she saw as the best one.

and she chose LEAST selfish way to execute that solution. like, the whole point of furina living as an archon without the archon powers or knowledge was to give her a chance to survive. if focalors already decided to die, she could have lived these 500 years as a queen in luxury, ruling as powerful archon. but no, she chose to put herself in a box where her only interaction with outside world was printing cards for neuvi at trials. do ppl think it was like, fun and cool time for her? OR she could have used furina situation to try and trick fate, to use furina as a sacrifice as hydro archon and save herself. if that was her plan and she, idk, changed her mind last minute, *then* she'd be a morally grey character. but she didn't! her plan was always to save furina.

its just ridiculous to see how ppl will bend backwards to argue male characters have "hearts of gold" or whatever when they actually do warcrimes on screen, but a female character who did everything she could to save entire country, including her own death, is called "morally grey" and "selfish" bc she had a moderately cunty attitude. insane to me tbh.
