It says a lot about Furina's determination to succeed and how complete and all-encompassing her act was that she could keep it up even in the deepest parts of her psyche while on the verge of a total breakdown. She wasn't a god, but she was an Archon in all the ways that mattered most.
you worded it so perfectly 😭😭 I have so much respect and love for her, and am so beyond glad that she is finally able to have her (way) hard earned peace She's truly one of, if not the best character in the game
Fun fact: before you actually finish the Fontaine archon quest, you can actually hear Furina crying in the fountain before you go into the opera house, but it’s very quiet
Headcanon: The "Furina" we see in her character teaser is actually Focalors an alternate timeline where the prophecy comes to pass as Celestia intended: Fontainians dissolved and Focalors alone. Our Focalors foresees this future in which she does nothing and so formulates a plan thus splitting herself into Focalors and Furina.
I can honestly see this 😭 headcanon or not, she really went and took fate by the reigns and said I will make sure the future I want to pass will come, with my own blood sweat and tears (literally 😭)
Furina: I lied to myself every morning when I wake up. I say everything's gonna be okay. But I'm lying and I don't know how much longer I can do it. ............... HAVE A SWELL NIGHT SIR❤
I hated Furina on first sight. Immediately afterwards, I remembered this is a Hoyo game, that we're supposed to love the archon, and that they were going to provide the necessary level of emotional investment for it to happen. They were so confident in giving her a terrible personality that I was very very afraid.
