thoughts about the end of fontaine (ACT 4)
reading this line really made me feel like it was some sort of shade, or like manipulation in a way, a way to continue to shame furina but subtly. "Those who work hard deserve gratitude and praise." As if Furina isn't working hard (although Neuvillette mentioned in like act 2 that she'd been keeping herself up late at night or something trying to figure it out)
And as if Furina wasn't there, in a way? Maybe I'm seeing way too into this and seeing stuff that isn't there
I've also noticed she's done a lot of baiting in a way? Like, so, she acts all worried about Childe to bait Paimon into saying something to 'sooth her worries'. And then immediately questions it at all while also getting an understanding of what we've found on that part.
(it might just be because I've been pretty cautious of her, and reading her lines carefully for manipulation tactics? Or any I understand anyway)
I do think Furina does have a plan, or at least an idea of what to do, but also. The Knave likely seems terrifying, someone that'll tear down through all her plans, and then after that, what does she have next? I like to think that she's scared of saying this whole grand plan, and The Knave scoffing and laughing at her, like 'that's it?' Because at the end of the day she has feelings, she doesn't know how to talk to people, and she gets hurt easily.
Admittedly, I think I see her as a bit of a child (which would make sense considering she's newer in a way? I don't know the circumstances, of course, but I'd imagine it would be hard to try to figure out what her place in all of this is, and how to interact with the people. They probably worshipped her because she was a god, but in the end I think she's very self-conscious. Not that she isn't bratty or selfish at times, or annoying, but from what I understand of her, she kind of does stuff mostly because the people expect her to? Like, she didn't prop up the idea of a duel until the people around us were being like 'ohh is she gonna fight the traveler' or something like that, I can't remember exactly, but then back in the magic show iirc, people were also like 'Furina's gonna [blah blah blah]' which pushed her to y'know. Do stuff. Not that it isn't her fault for doing it, but I think she has reasons, and is easily peer pressured.
(Also maybe I'm giving her too much credit, but if she's panicking over the prophecy publicly, how do you think the people would react? Although it would probably sooth the worries of those wondering if shes even doing anything or worried about it. Also, idk man, I see being an archon as a huge load of responsibility, so maybe I've just been giving her a lot of slack. Idk. But this is also coming from a person who doesn't actually dislike her, so.)
Basically. I do understand where people are coming from because yeah Furina can get annoying, and I'm probably reading into this wrong and she's possibly a horrible person who has no respect for others or whatever. But I'd like to think she has her own reasons, and we'll find out in the future.
Although I do realize that we haven't actually seen even a hint of Furina's power. We've seen Venti's when we were blown into the sky and shot at Dvalin in Mondstadt, technically we saw Zhongli being a huge dragon (which if that doesn't speak powerful, then idk what does), the Raiden Shogun has the thunderstorms surrounding the island, not to mention how lightning strikes are often, or the stories about her being really powerful, something to be feared (for example kazuhas story about his friend), and we saw Nahida during the samsara festival.
(This is me talking about hints in the first few acts, NOT the end)
Furina on the other hand? Nothing, nada. However we have seen Neuvillette, especially during Act 2 during the trial where he took down Childe so easily, Childe who we know how powerful he is canonically considering he has his own boss fight, and we know what number harbinger he is.
We see his power again when he pushes back the primordial water.
It's really interesting.

MAVUIKA WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO
I’m about to go deep inside some wild theories so be ready.
Also, it goes without saying but there will be spoilers about Genshin.
So!
Let’s say you chose Lumine, because why not. You’re finishing the Liyue chapter and you are fighting against the Abyss herald with Dainsleif. Suddenly, when you think you won, your long lost brother, Aether, appears out of nowhere and tells you that you are fighting the wrong fight. He had done his travels and had seen Teyvat. He knew what was right and we needed to finish our journey to understand.
So, what if! What if Aether is not actually our Aether. What if he was from another universe and, when he says he did his travels, he means as if he was the MC (so if you choose Aether at the beginning of the game). The same thing happened. He travelled Teyvat, met the Archons, fought the Devine lady who split the twins apart and yada yada. And, what if, in the end, he ends up discovering that his sister is dead.
Wether it be by the Devine principle’s hands or not doesn’t matter because the result is the same. He is convinced that, had they not been separated, she would have lived and he looses it.
He finds a way to travel to another universe. One where Lumine is still alive and well. And he joins the fight against Celestia because of what happened to his Lumine.
He wants to do things rights this time and save her (us). This would also mean that our Aether is already dead or will be. But by the time we find him, he will be long gone.
Multiverse type of thing!
i am madly in love with her
how i feel when the "i shouldn't ask father to do anything because of us" "it's unfortunate that lyney's so eager to prove himself that he can't learn to rely on others... including me" hits
I DON’T EVEN PLAY GENSHIN AND LIKE HIM!!! BRO SO GODDAMN HOT OMG OMG OMG
Rambling about Natlan (Spoiler Warning?)
Goodnight everyone, I just finished the Natlan Archon quest and I AM NOT OKAY (/pos). Sharing some screenshots/pics I took. LONG ASS POST (I think?) I'm still on an adrenaline rush so excuse me for not having deep smart thoughts, I feel like I drank 340 liters of caffeine
Goodbye Fontaine, beautiful Archon quest smh
Little cutie <3 I named him Fizzle (is it a male? i think? i forgot already). LET ME KEEP HIM IN MY TEAPOT PLEASEEE
Shitty photos (sadly didn't take electro) but I LOVE when Traveler uses their powers.
Facial expressions being amazing tbh, I wish I took more cause they're so fun SDFGH
MUALANI YOU'RE SO FUCKING PRETTY, awesome character I love her personality and everything so much. I'll most likely pull on rerun
Traveler outfit?!??!?! Who died for this- I wish this was a skin (maybe more detailed like Barbara and Jean's, yk)
I also LOVEEE Kachina, she was so adorable and I deff was cheering for her 24/7. Will I ever play her? prob not but I'm still happy they gave her for free!
Them bringing this plot point back was not on my list at all. I legit even forgot about it- It was an amazing surprise
Raiden and Mavuika pics. Because why not (I could have also done Nahida or Furina, but eh- too late for that)
Talk about Mavuika, she quickly became top favorite.
I AM SOO SAD I DIDN'T TAKE MORE SCREENSHOTS (ESPECIALLY DURING THE MAVUIKA VS CAPITANO FIGHT) BUT I WAS TOO DAMN MESMERIZED SEEING THE GIRLS FIGHTING. And I loveee me some chivalry.
I have no guaranteed but since Natlan is SPOLING US so much I already have 48 pulls for this man.
I just finished the Natlan Archon quest. WHAT THE FUCK???
my honest reaction to everything
GENSHIN AQ SPOILERS
i cant believe hoyoverse killed off my favourite npcs are you fucking kidding me
In other news, Capitano listens to Childe’s rambles and it's part of why the Harbinger trusts the traveller.
Which is to say, we beat the "who?" alllegations, and my dream of Childe just being the baby of the Harbingers and not knowing it, is slowly becoming more and more possible.
So far, we have Pulcinella kinda being Childe’s caretaker, Pantalone annoying the shit out of Childe by rambling like an older sibling, Arlecchino and Childe bonding over how to take care of kids, and Capitano just listening to Childe ramble about his own travels and the people he meets like a patient older brother. [Bonus, Scara and Signora behaved as insufferable older siblings, which is, finding childe annoying af, or doingg everything to make him pissed off)

4.1 Spoilers ahead 💜
I was so surprised to see Lyney- in prison that I screamed at 12 AM 💀
At the same time l I was pissed because BRO ALL OF THAT WORK FOR YOU TO SHOW UP HERE ANYWAYS- I was mad a him for a solid minute.
Also, this poor kid. He's so stressed right now. I knew he had anxiety but Jesus dude.
Playing the new quest was a mistake because all I wanna do is run my mouth to the freaking moon by my friends are taking their sweet time.
This quest was such a a rollercoaster and I don't care what anyone says I like it. Even if I almost cried several times and ended with a headache and a heartache.
I played the Arlecchino story quest- it's yappin time! Or time for a kinda long post.
I'll fix the spelling eventually
Spoilers ahead
More analysis! Except we're going through sequentially because that's how I remember it!
1. Lyney is the big brother to everyone in the house
The way he could talk everyone so easily was cute to see. He seems so unbothered by everyone's little quirks. Like- taking to those kids and dropping the most diabolical lore? Kinda scary I'm not gonna lie. Even if unintentionally, a lot of people look up to him. Although, there is the question of how much of his interactions are masking because he does have a silver tongue. Either way, he's definitely the ring leader.
2. Lyney is the cooking sibling
This one isn't actually all that important but I think it's cute. His big brother energy is strong.
3. Lyney hates having secrets kept from him
I think that this one is kinda ironic, but then again, it could be because he keeps secrets he knows how it feels. Also- that line about Freminet lying to him was disrespectful. My jaw hit the floor when he went "You're not like me- your lying skills still need some work." Even if it's true just damn. It's very clear though that the fact Fremi was hiding something hurt him. It seems that at moments like this his passion can be the downfall as we witness the world's most awkward argument. Which resulted in Fremi crying and I must wonder how often this happens.
4. He has the entire roster memorized.
I for one, am still not over this fact. When you ask about Clervie's name he's instantly like: Nope! Not in the roster. It's the same with Perrie. Perhaps this is just me, but that seems like a lot of people to just know of the top of your head.
5. Lynette is almost as good at stealth as Arlecchino.
When they do the first bump and Lynette scares the soul out of everyone involved made me realize something. Maybe it's a combination of her cat features and personality, but she's quiet. The way she made her entrance was so reminiscent of Arlecchino earlier and she was definitely trained in it by her. It's absolutely adorable how much she emulate her "Father."
6. Lyney's voice rises when he breaks composure.
This is possibly just because of the amazing acting of his English VA but I'd like to think it's true. So you can able this one more of a headcanon with evidence. It happens a few times, mostly towards the end but this it the first time it happens. He was so surprised by Lynette that he just completely loses his composure for a second and practically squeaks for a second. He then obviously fixes it but it's a nice moment. Later, he's just desperate but we'll get to that.
7. A lot of the stories we hear about Arlecchino are misconceptions.
This woman is so freaking scary. I just have to say it, I could feel the tension through the screen as we talked. Thank god for child because I was stressed. What we do learn from this besides the fact she's not one for conversation is that they're a lot of half truths about her. This woman would let you call her by the wrong name of it benefits her so everyone saying she's a backstabber and crazy is far from the full story. Childe got his information from the Rooster which uh- was phrased in a weird way. However, she saw no reason to really correct it, so she didn't. Scaramouche however, I'm starting to wonder if he's speaking from personal experience. He's clearly witnessed something and now I wanna know what.
8. Lyney's lying skills were definitely improved by Arlecchino.
Miss Girly is the queen of misinformation and it's clear Lyney learned from him. Like I'm talking to this woman and she's so manipulative I'm doubting myself- AND I WENT IN KNOWING THE STORY! The way she side steps and misdirects is so reminiscent of Lyney that I got deja vu. The main difference is Arlecchino is so much colder so she doesn't break easily. Lyney is an absolute softy and can break way easier.
9. Arlecchino is not fond of the other harbingers.
This is pretty clear in her voice lines and is also obvious because of her personality. However, this is something about watching her shit talk her coworkers in front of me that I'm just living for. Especially with the new plan Project Stuzha? Girly pop isn't having that shit. If she pulls up, I wanna witness this.
10. Lynette is Lyney's voice of reason.
I feel like I've said this before but it deserves to be said again because she's the second baddest bitch alive. Arlecchino is the first.
11. Lyney's angry eyes are unnerving to me.
Maybe this is just me but then is eyes narrow it makes me wanna back away. I don't know if it's because of the way he presents himself but it just gives a certain vibe. I find that vibe slightly terrifying.
12. The reason Lyney is the next king and his passion.
Now, this was a question I had ever since Lyney came out. Seeing him in the Archon Quest had me wondering why he was the next director. Then during the last part of this quest I realized something. It was like a moment of recognition. I think when he stood up to defend everyone. The way he was so determined was really touching. It's also something I already knew. In the Fortress when he charged at Wriothesley was a moment of desperation. Then here, he stands to duel the freaking Knave. He obviously knew the was no way he could win but he wasn't gonna give up with his family on the line. His passion and conviction for his family know no bounds, after all, it's how he got his vision in the first place. Every part of his character and lore just screams family man. The way he's so dedicated to the big brother role and protection those close fits perfectly for what the Knave hopes the House becomes. However, it's this same damn passion that has him disregarding his health and jumping in front of Lynette with no way to parry and his squishy ass body.
