About the Paimon thing: I've heard several people say that in Chinese and Japanese she's WAY more tactful (which is the reason Furina later apologizes to her) but I can't find a comparison on it. I would love if someone took the time to retranslate that whole conversation because that was WAY too tactless of Paimon for how much she's grown with us. And if there's already something on it, can someone link me to it? Thanks!
Also, about the vision: I also felt so iffy about it but Ashikai put it in a way that kinda makes me feel better. She says the play mirrors Furina's life and just like the little oceanid Furina also sacrified herself for her people with her 500 year torture and once again does it for the play for the people she's gotten to know and that's why she gets a vision. She also says maybe it's a reward for all she's suffered or a response to a silent wish of Furina's. It's Neuvillette the one that's granting her a vision now after all, and I want to think that he knows how much of a sacrifice it is for her to step onto the stage once again to do what she explicitly told him she was never again going to do.
For anyone interested, the exact moment in Ashikai's video is this one: https://youtu.be/kgfPE5-yUn8?t=1303
Furina having a constant spotlight on her and consciously monitoring herself every waking moment to the point her act of being an archon came naturally to her. But at night when she's alone she finally shed tears. I think a lot of us, including me, relate to this. I used to have really bad mental health and i always appeared like a happy-go-lucky girl. My parents never understood why i stayed up late and many times slept only an hour before i had to wake up for school again. They just thought it was so i could escape their nagging, when in fact it was to escape reality itself. Everyday when night arrived and everyone fell asleep and the world goes quiet it was as if all the spotlights had finally turned off and i can finally be myself.
the trial we put her through, after knowing what we know now is heartbreaking 😭
500 years of suffering
500 years of keeping a secret that if ever revealed will doom the entire nation
500 years of living alone
After 500 years of keeping this lie, being put on a trial to reveal the lie you held for FIVE HUNDRED YEARS!
For the record, I DID NOT OR EVER HATED FURINA💙
I love Paimon, but girl had no tact during her quest. And about her decision to act in the end, two points.
1. She still made the choice to act on her own. She was influenced, of course, but changing a decision is a hard thing to do and I'm glad she could do it.
2. She was acting as the little Oceanid. But she was also acting as herself and no one else for the first time. Her story of sacrifice for the people that hated her, because she still loved them. She wasn't forced to act as another person, she could finally show herself.
Another title for the video, for you Gen Z's!
"this is why Furina is THE GOAT!"
yeah, about halfway through the video I noticed the Alhaitham dakimakura and I was like, "oh, uh, okay," so I laughed when you addressed it at the end
Never hated Furina, my iconic queen! Always a defender!
I'd like to point out that furina didn't even esitate into taking the hydro archon role
Truly shows how much she loves her people
What is most disturbing for me, is that Furina uses the Teen Model.
This implies that Furina started this act when she was the age that someone would be hanging out with their friends, going to high school, and tests being their highest worries.
She on the other hand, was stuck in a body that didn’t fit her age for 500 years and put up a grandiose act for all of Fontaine to see. To witness again and again, trials with possibly very gruesome crimes.
this is cool and all but i can't get enough of the pillow in the back
You know what’s really interesting, while furina wasn’t physically imprisoned she was trapped within her own mind, but nahida while physically imprisoned was free to explore her nation through the terminal making her conscious free of restraint
It's interesting to think that Furina and Nahida were both suffering in Isolation for roughly the same amount of time. One was a prisoner in the literal sense, being mistreated by her own people the whole time, while the other was a prisoner in her mind while her body was free and she was treated well by her own people. Imagine if the two had been able to connect in some way.
help is it bad that i really can't see myself resonating/feeling empathetic towards furina as someone who's struggling w mental health myself?? 😭😭 i've gone through all of the events of the 4.2 AQ and read multiple detailed character analysis about furina but i just absolutely cannot bring myself to feel bad for her :/ i just cannot see her beyond her initial actions in the fontaine archon quest (falsely accusing an innocent civillian of homicide & did it by rushing headfirst into things w/o conducting any actual thorough investigation) legit made me wonder how many innocents she'd wronged within her reign of 500 years and if such injustice were ever resolved or their dignity had ever been restored at all…idk furina just left a really bad taste in my mouth.
ofc there's also the 4.2 AQ where the truth got unveiled and people were bawling over it while i just kinda sat there like yeahh that just happened. i shed more tears learning about the whole ordeal with navia's father tbh
The English translation of Paimon is always so awful, the insensitivity being the prime example of it. I’m a fluent Chinese speaker, so I have the audio in the original Chinese voice performance, and Paimon is soooo much more likable in it 🥲
I love Furina since the start and felt a bit to defensive to her and when we discoverd the true I love her even more and got omega angry with paimon and traveler when they were super meen to her and also for forcing her to act
I really liked her as this girl failure/gremlin type character at first, being a cute/adorable kind of "arrogant". After the Archon Quest, I kind of gained a newfound appreciation for her. Maybe its because socialzing is so incredibly hard for me, but having to play a extroverted role like this for 500 years, the constant threat of her people finding out her true role and of course the threat of the Fatui, having to be so out on the open… it takes a lot of character to endure it for so long, for her to be this selfless made me like her so much more. Its also great that she was able to find a new path in life (but honestly… why was Paimon such a jerk to her in her character quest?).
But honestly, I wish we could give her all the dessert she wants.
i've never hated furina. i always thought that her confidence was a facade, seeing how she cowered in fear when the traveler drew their sword against her. she reminds me of fischl, and knowing how fischl's backstory, i thought that furina was the same. furina and fischl are one of the most realistic characters, seeing how they also remind me of my younger self. these two are very unique in terms of writing, and i've always liked characters like them. furina never gave the impression as someone who was truly egostistical, as people like that usually have a ton of insecurities and problems under their facade. i love everything about furina and she's one of my favs in genshin.
Since day 1 of Furina introduction of Fontaine quest I never hated her the thoughts that came to me when Furina place herself and showing herself was that thats the fastest way to find an audience with an archon because to me Furina was quite similar to me from act 1 to all the way til act 5 where we were shown all the suffering Furina had to endure and til recently I felt more like Furina than before
Her story was well executed and had great deatils, lore and how Furina character was she was truly the best archon
Focalors was too a great god and I once found a in depth video about her plan which may or may not have been deleted since I cant find it anymore so if anyone found it where is says either "Focalors is as much as a genius as she is a gambler" and "Why did Focalors executed starts after hearing neuvillette verdict" and "That smile is someone who won the biggest 50/50 of their life" please tell me both videos here and the other are both amazing would recomend to subscribe to both
But Furina is truly the perfect human and so are we
Hopefully we can all live our lives happily as a human
I always enjoyed Furina. Characters like her, Yoimiya, and Hu Tao always strike me as characters that have a deeper and more complex side to them, where it's implied for the two latter I'm glad they really went in with Furina, it shoot her up to one of my favourite characters.
I disagree with the vision part. I really enjoyed it cause to me it meant that Furina has a strong wish to help Dunphy (who is sick) and the musical story helped her regain that wish all oceanides had before becoming humans- to see the world. And I felt that was her wish so I liked it a lot.
Having a goal can ge very motivating when facing dark feelings,
The fist 30sec aged well
Furina haters turned so quickly, I actually loved her for her bratty behavior. Designs are also big for me, and Furina’s design is immaculate.
I personally wanted Furina's personal story to end on her choosing to be a director. So I am very happy that the most recent event did this. Having her be a actress again feels wrong.
this video hit me so incredibly hard, i feel like i’ve been hit by a truck. hearing that you, someone i idolise, goes through the same kind of shit that i do makes me feel so much more.. normal, i guess? you’re an awesome creator ily <333
As someone with High-Functioning Autism, I instantly related to Furina's story. I was also very sheltered and very socially lonely growing up due to my Autism. I was extremely booksmart and very successful academiclly, but very socially naive at the same time. People mispercieved me constantly in social situations, and I have experienced a lot of misunderstandings with my peers in the past because of this. I constantly mask my more Autistic traits and my more negative emotions, but they are always there, haunting me. I constantly feel like I have to be perfect, and like I'm not good enough compared to my peers. This video is really good and really made my day. Thank you for bringing awareness to Furina's connections to Autistic masking.🖤💜
Another thing I always take issue with is when people in the fandom call Furina an archon or the hydro archon because she isn't and she never was, that was just a role she was forced to play for 500 years. So to me, when people call her an archon it's kind of insensitive because it was something she never wanted. All she ever wanted was to just be a normal human being and yet she couldn't. I think that's part of what makes her character so tragic. At least now she can finally be just a normal person and live her life freely the way she wants to:) So calling her an archon feels kinda wrong to me.
I finally finished the archon quest and came back to watch this 🥹💖
she’s the first character I’ve genuinely related to, like I just feel so connected to her and we have so much in common it’s like scary
Honestly seeing Furina story made me really relate to her I really enjoy her character
What about Xiao?
TW: Grammatical errors
I don't know I feel the same as Furina's Struggles,
On College In October 2023 I became a Class representative, Class president and 1 year representative of the organization which to me feel like already a burden because of people's expectation to be their guide but along the way they abuse my kindness and slowly draining my motivation away.
The first fight: is that I argue with my classmates that you shouldn't choose their closest friend as to where our other classmates are getting left out, because I also experience it like a lot, and in the end they won the argument and I gave up
And the last and worst argument is that, my classmates ever since senior high (or rather a last year before going to college if you don't know the term) told me that I'm getting irresponsible and I should step down. Well I got obviously hurt because I'm working my ass of as a class representative I'm doing the best I can to sustain our reputation and value. And just because I cannot update them to the latest happening going around the university she calling me a slacker? Like I'm just going to abandon them. And tbh they're the reason why I feel the burn out, the feeling of like "what's the point" or the feeling of I wont get out of my bed. I can't handle their attitudes I'm 18 and they're like 19-24 like you're older than me and you're expecting me to "guide" you.
I snapped and become petty and in the long run I became invalidated. Because I hurt their feelings. Just like furina said "I'm the real archon!" I also told them that I'm your class president and you should know my struggles. In the end my connection with my classmates crumbles into dust as I let my mask fall down to the ground
I would love to talk about that in detail but again I'm sorry for my trauma dumping ever since I saw the part when people said that lyney is a criminal even though she knows to herself that he's not but as the pressure builds up she got no choice but to do what her people want to see.
I'm crying rn. I watched your queer coding in genshin videos and this one and I can't 😢
"So interminable… so lonely… just how much longer?" honestly made me bawl my eyes out when I heard it in the story… as a gay person in a country full of homophobia I have to put up a mask of being straight sometimes… but even I have moments of freedom, at home I can be myself because my family is surprisingly allies… but for Furina there was no time when she could be herself… AND FOR FIVE FUCKING HUNDRED YEARS… I can't even imagine what a pain that must be
It was good listening to you talking about this topic, I am kind of amazed about the evolution of her character and about the fact that she is literally an "innocent little girl placed in a little jail full of torture". She is a symbol and I agree that she is one, if not The, best character of the story.
But there is one fact that I do not agree with you, aaand sorry if I might have got it wrong but as I heard you saying that I've kind of startled a little.
In the character quest, Furina starts with the "I don't want to do anything with acting", and that's understandable. As you said, she was acting for 500 years with an invisible audience, nobody really cared about her but everybody wanted her to have an opinion about something…. because she supposely was the Archon……
But as she spent some time with the group, learned about their past… something might have started to change to her, or at least I think. To the point that, when the main actress had the health issue, she put aside all her worries and problems, she knows she can do it. And here's the thing: In the moment she made the decision, in the moment she entered the scene, she showed the gods that she changed. We can say "entering the scene" as a metaphore of "fight against the past and problem".
In that moment, when she fought and won her issues and fears… she showed the gods that she deserved recognition, that she will not hold herself back anymore, and in that moment she was granted her Vision.
I partially understand your point of view for you hating that part, but for me she did not lose anything entering the stage. She won… Aaaand she showed that without rehearsas she can do kind of every part only seeing others trying..
I loved her sm from the start, because i related to that fucking huge stubbornness
Then i realised i don't just love her, but i am infact just like her 😔
I didn’t suffer
I must be one of the few people who liked Furina from the start. My only concern was with how she would be written. Characters like her can be difficult to get right. Her haughtiness and girl failure nonsense was fun but even a little relatable. I knew there was something missing from her but hell if I knew what it was. We knew nothing about her, despite what a circus she was. And then her trial happened and I almost wish I didn't know. The heartbreak was real. My Bi-polar was acting up, I'll tell ya what.
*Inazuma and Sumeru's writing was pretty fucking lackluster at times, so you could understand my wariness.
