Is it finally safe to say this?
"Not everyone can understand Father's love" is such a typical line from a kid that's actually conditioned to receiving abuse, but somehow so many people thought that Father was a saint, might as well tell me "At least she's not beating them"
There are sooo many hints from the voicelines of all three kids that "Father" is emotionally manipulating them and conditioning them into the loyal soldiers she WANTS them to be, and that her love for them is ultimately conditional, but people don't wanna read between the lines!!
rambling but i still really like this scene
i used to think it was pure ship bait, but the reason why it rained then was bc he sensed her distress, and that caused it to rain... which revealed him as the hydro dragon to the trav/paimon
Literally like
Lyn3y - Golden Child (also another abused kid btw)
Lyn3tte - following the golden child for safety
Fr3minet - the kid who grew up only knowing abuse, idolizes other new abuser who "saved" him by abusing him in a more passive way
A compilation thread of the times โ๏ธ๐ง NeuviFuri ๐ง๏ธ๐ฐ were brought up together in relation/in association to one another both in-game and official media ๐งต
Nier: Hey I killed the shade you were telling me about
Quest NPC: My daughter died while you were gone. Take this money; I don't need it anymore. The gods have cursed us all and there is no hope left in this world for me.
Me and Nier:
Everybody shut up, I just made a very startling realization
They have teardrop gems on the back of their shoes. They're matching... Sort of... That's so cute, omg...
During those 500 years, Neuvillette was probably the only person that Furina trusted enough not to put on an act for all the time bc she thought of them as partners in crime. She must have felt so betrayed by him the most during the trial, thinking that he understood her most...
Furina did not talk about her complicated feelings about her endless masquerade and how she wore the mask for so long that it became a part of her to the point where she couldn't differentiate between her "real" and "fake" self anymore
Just for you to say "Neuv doesn't know her"
@Noooooo50044172
So many ppl think it's just a form of SA instead of the mere act of conditioning a child and it pisses me off every time I see someone say "she's not grooming them" about people who grew up as child soldiers!! Fucking what!!!
calling her "lady" when he's angry with her ๐
fun fact, this is similar to the tea party flashback in 4.1 where he goes "lady furina, is there something about this meeting that you're not telling me?" giving the idea that if he calls her that in private it's bc he's upset w her
You can really tell who actually cares and respects Furina as a character based on how someone interprets this scene in 4.1. It's like a litmus test on who actually knows Furina's strengths and who only "loves" her bc it's the popular opinion.
โ๏ธ๐ง - These words have probably replayed in Neuvillette's head over and over again, but only now understanding what they mean after realizing how much the human world has impacted him as much as he has had an impact on it
So let's talk about it!!! ๐งต
[slams hands down on the table]
Neuvillette is the only one allowed to criticize Furina bc it is his god-given right as the Iudex to judge all other gods INCLUDING her, and ESPECIALLY her, because his purpose in Fontaine is to be completely impartial. In order for this to work-
There... There isn't a spotlight there lmao
Give it up for Neuv, he who pines so hard he imagines a spotlight on his supposed goddess who apparently needed the extra divine flair whenever she's in his line of sight.
NO IT'S SIGNIFICANT BC SHE COMES UP TO HIM BEHIND HIS LEFT SIDE, AND HE ONLY LOOKED TOWARDS HIS LEFT SIDE AND THEN WAS SURPRISED TO SEE TRAV/PM THERE *AFTER* HE TURNED AROUND, SO COUPLED WITH THE FULL PERIOD STOP AFTER HER NAME MEANS HE WAS ONLY EXPECTING HER TO BE THERE
Furina: I have no friends :(
[Several days earlier]
Furina: Wait why are you helping me clean up my apartment and inviting me out for drinks?
Clorinde: ...? Because we're friends and we haven't hung out in a while.
Why was he just doing nothing about his own circumstances for hundreds of years until he got a letter from the Hydro Archon 500 years ago? Is he stupid?
I don't think Neuvillette was dumb dumb around Furina, I think at some point he just became unquestionably loyal to her to the point where he brushed off anything that could have been wrong, or chalked it up to the flaws he could perceive in her but otherwise accepted
๐ง๏ธ๐ฐ rambling thread
I've always liked how in Neuv's most private moments of vulnerability, when he's in the middle of self-reflecting, he's thinking about words that Furi passed onto him before.
My guy has made so many excuses for her that he probably thought she was respecting him by not using his stolen authority and was determined to govern through sheer charisma alone. He must have felt so moved by her treating him as an actual equal...
I still find it so funny how Neuvillette never doubted Furina being the Archon despite never once in 500 years seeing her display an iota of control over the element she was supposedly governing w/ his stolen Authority ๐ญ
I think the best thing about focallette is the major implication that Furina is the reason why the Hydro Sovereign would care about humans and would encourage him to learn more about them, from their daily lives to their emotions, esp bc she holds her people in such high regard
#NeuviFuri
Furina: It's been a while since I've been to the Palais Mermonia and seen Neuvillette; some time apart from each other will be good for us, right?
Also Furina:
I feel like it's hard to deny romantic implications with focallette when one of her constellations directly references a romantic opera just to hint at her lore connection with another character she's close to, like what's the non-romantic explanation for that...
I just realized... She didn't even know why he was talking with them. She literally just guessed what he did (bc she was SO SURE he didn't get lost actually) and Hu Tao was like "Yeah, that's exactly right!" like??? The way she's just completely confident about his habits???
"Neuvillette would still consider Furina an Archon if she never abdicated,โ I say into the mic.
The boymoms boo. I begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks.
"They're right," he says. I look for the owner of the voice. There in the 3rd row stands: Neuvillette.
Neuvillette's favorite season is winter, but he's associated with life
And Furina is associated with the spring, but the shadow of death always loomed above her
They were always doomed...
As we know from the La Vaguelette behind the scenes video, there are a lot of regal elements to her overall design. A lot of inspiration behind her regal imagery can be taken from fleur-de-lis and cross iconography, as well as royal/noble dress and ouji lolita fashion.
"someone once told me I should wear a fake vision in case I ever need to use my powers in public"
"I wonder who could have come up with that weeping hydro dragon chant"
"On my 100th year as Iudex, someone offered to make my birthday a holiday"
you know what, why did she even write this anyway
this was in reply to a PTO note
instead writing "i approve" or something, she went on this personal mini-tangent bc it was just so important to her to write all this out just to say "it's nice to see you out there for a change"
๐งต Thread of every time NeuviFuri refer to each other by terms of address (EN dub only)
NOTE: While I'll be doing this in "chronological" order, this thread will be divided into two partsโa series of N's lines, then a series of F's lines.
Neuvillette: Here, eat this cake that Furina got so that I can send you to jail
Trav: Sure...?
Neuvillette: GARDES ARREST THE TRAVELER, THEY COMMITTED A CRIME AS HEINOUS AS ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION ON THE HYDRO ARCHON! TELL THE NEWSPAPER RIGHT AWAY!
@SorenDuskweaver
Her turning out to be evil is my only hope of the doctor also being playable evil and not some dumb cop out like "we're releasing a GOOD segment!!"
But if they cop out on her being evil, my hopes of future playables also being evil is dashed and gone, dead before it could fly
Saying they're co-workers who barely talk is crazy. That's literally playing the game with your eyes closed. They spend way too much time onscreen together and talk about each other when they're apart. There are enough times where NPCs bring them up together to make a pattern.
Everybody's freaking out about lantern rite spoilers for nvfr.
In any case, with this new info we can all agree that he fell first and also fell REALLY HARD, right? Spent a long time in isolation and stagnation until โจsheโจ came into his life?
A special her? A unique her?
Btw I feel like this was an important lil moment, in that despite everything that happened, he was still able to clock in on her emotions as he usually does and her reaction confirms it.
She might have been living a lie, but the bond they shared over 500 years was real.
there he goes reading her like an open book again, bc he's very good at reading her emotions and understanding them better than he can for himself for a totally platonic reason
The melusines say that when Neuvillette was watching Lady Furina leave the palais with a suitcase in hand, he was playing Evanescence in the background of his office
In light of the whole "how Neuvillette addresses Furina" thing, I just realized that not once did Neuvillette ever refer to Furina specifically as "Focalors". It was always either "Furina" or "Lady Furina". He would rather use her preferred name/title over her "usurper name".
Neuv: SIGH... Furina is so hysterical and dramatic andโ
Furina: My DEAR Iudex, we ALWAYS need more drama in the courtroom!
Neuv: You are SO RIGHT, Lady Furina ๐
Speaking of elemental sight, did you know that every single blue teardrop on Furina's model shows up under elemental sight with a hydro glow? You can compare it to the glow of her vision; it's the same!
...so when he turned his back on her, she really just gave up bc not even the person she trusted the most for emotional support while suffering in silence all those years would defend her. She felt truly alone in that moment, no wonder she broke up with him and moved out.
I think nvfr fandom should just collectively block every ship anti on sight and not bother engaging with them whatsoever, bc they don't wanna see our content right? it would be doing them a favor lol
My blocklist has grown three sizes in the last few days and I'm happier for it
i never noticed but the water jets that come in at the climax of la vaguelette, the water is mixed in with primordial seawater colors. then it veers off into three distinct water jets, two regular water (that constantly mixes) and one primosea-colored that shines the brightest
I'm tired of seeing ship discourse too but I gotta say, "I've always wanted a father so that's why I imagine Neuvillette as a father figure, why can't I have this harmless hc about neuvifuri" is the kind of hot take with A LOT of baggage to unpack that I never expected to see
If Furina gets a valentine's illustration this year, and then Neuvillette gets a white day illustration, it implies that Furina gave Neuvillette chocolate and that he returned the favorโNO TRUST ME I SWEAR I CAN SEE THE FUTURE
If I say anything about how la vaguelette is supposed to parallel Furina's life (yes, even down to the male love interest she gives up having a life with) bc her character is canonically a whole reference to the little mermaid... it's going to sound too spiteful lol
Damn all this thread was doing was analyzing romantic subtext and implications and it got dragged into the ship war with 0 mentions of any other ship, how could the fantasy French do this to Genshin
I really like the composition of this single frame for neuvifuri.
Neuvillette's office is arranged symmetrically for the most part - symmetry is even a big part of his design.
So of course the symmetry line of the room ultimately divides them, acting like an invisible wall.
I can't believe Furi has a NeuviFuri deck. Insane. Why does she even HAVE a Neuvi card? What's wrong with her. Stop thinking about your ex-husband for one patch, will you?
Furina: I really have told you everything
Neuv: No you haven't, stop gaslighting me!!!! There is little room for excuses between us! We're supposed to have something SPECIAL
Furinaโs fins match the tail fins of the Singer of Many Waters.
Funnily enough, Neuvilletteโs hair is somewhat shaped similarly, with smaller โfinsโ protruding outwards while the longer ones are knotted down.
Everybody calm downโผ๏ธ The fact of the matter is that this picture proves that with every Genshin anniversary, we are guaranteed new art of Furina de Fontaine every year now, always included in every Archon gathering photo, and no amount of hate will ever take that away from her๐ฅฐ
According to the same video, Furina also has some elements in her design that allude to the Little Mermaid.
First, Furinaโs coattail includes a fish scale pattern and a section of her backsides have a subtle fish scale pattern passed off as a checkerboard pattern.
"Existence" was Egeria's justiceโin other words, to exist and live as a human was the justice that Egeria believed in.
But Focalors and Furina believed that true justice was for that existence, that humanity, to continue living on even if she had to suffer to make it happen.
there's so much to say about this line... there's smth to be said about how furi knows how to speak to neuv abt things he doesn't really seem to understand, and in turn, neuv understands furi's emotions in the ways she never realizes bc she spent so long never acknowledging them
As for comparison for their real โfinsโ, both of their โfinsโ glow with hydro energy under elemental sight, but Furinaโs has more luminosity (or maybe his fins have less hydro energy???).
It's giving "AITA for not standing up for my wife when she wouldn't communicate with me? [...] We had this big argument and she decided to stay somewhere else for the time being to 'sort out her thoughts'"
and the only reason he turned to look at her at all... was bc he sensed her emotions nearby, and he caught her staring... and she knew in that moment that the rain was because of her...
don't argue w/ me abt lore on this, his vl literally says that he'd end up making it rain even if he himself isn't sad bc his empathic abilities are triggered by the emotions of other people which also cause it to rain, so YES the rain WAS bc SHE was sad!!!
