it is very telling that average genshin players cannot comprehend seeing an actual mature, qualified leader that is actually good at taking her job seriously after meeting archons who either is still childish, clowning whimsically, or straight up incompetent.

#it's kinda funny that the best God in terms of actually fulfilling their duties to the T is the mortal one #there's absolutely nothing wrong with the other archons their flaws make their characters extremely compelling #but it's kind of insane to call mavuika bland for being good at her job as if she's still not inherently flawed with the martyrdom complex #people keep pointing out to her: aren't you tired? don't you have dreams of your own? isn't your want important too?#she's such a fascinating character yknow #mavuika #that is #she cares so deeply about the humans in natlan and she has abundant love for them and actively doing things to give natlan a better future #and yet she could NOT remotely take her own advice and wisdom for herself #you kinda have to remember not all archons are here because they want to be archon #nahida did not ask to be an archon neither did ei #and don't even get me started on furina #zhongli and venti take archonhood like parenting as expected from them but they're so ancient that they're entering their silly granpa era #focalors is the first instance we see of 'new' god doing something... godly #she is forever the punkest archon for what she did but her plan still equired a great suffering nonetheless #after all when you want to save your nation by going AGAINST the system you cannot do it without sacrificing a soul or two #which leads me to why people think it's irrational to kill off capitano when what he's doing is also punk #focalors dared celestia by returning the hydro authority to the dragon they stole it from and destroyed hydro throne #forever changing the institution that is The Seven #capitano dared ronova by giving his immortality to lord of the night and by that rewriting ronova's curse on him #he changed the rules of the ley lines forever #anyway.#narratively speaking capitano is a great foil for mavuika and I'm just glad it's him we met in natlan #hyv didn't make the short animated for mavuika just for you to call her bland
