i think what a lot of people dont realize or forget when it comes to neuvillette and furinas roles in fontaine; is that the overall character theme of Hydro as an element is bisexuality.

ok but jokes aside it IS very much duality, and the balancing of two lives, the struggles of separating said lives (barbara: idol and nun, for example) or the struggles of merging said lives (ayato for example, balancing his work with his home life)

so when it comes to "but whos the hydro archon?" questions or thoughts, the short answer is focalors, the long answer because focalors is Dead and gave the power of the archon (which originally belonged to the elemental dragon soverigns) back to neuvi, so by technicality; neuvillette is the archon.

but what about furina? he was standing in as the archon for 500 years or so, doesnt he deserve the title too?

the answer to that is also yes. furina is also the archon because he was forced to be for the longest time, forced to play the role so much that he experienced so much agony, loneliness and overall feeling like a burden on others

so really when it comes down to it? whos the archon? by all literal means; neuvillette. but if furina proclaims himself as the archon again (which he hasnt done post-4.2 btw) then furina's the archon

in terms of hoyo's marketing they're always gonna put furina in any full archons work bc he was presented to us as the archon so he's gonna stay that way ; i have mixed opinions on this though on one hand yay more furina arts and promo material but on the other hand hes not Technically the archon anymore, but on the first hand he does deserve the title of hydro archon regardless of technicalities or logic; he didnt go through that pain for nothing, you know? anyways sorry just wanted to ramble <3

ok i love furina's quest and there is a lot to talk about in it, but i think the way she received vision is a poetic cinema moment that is easy to miss if you don't think about context

first of all, her vision is given by neuvilette, it even has tiniest fangs added to signify belonging to a dragon. in his profile stories, neuvi explains that apparently visions are not given by the archons freely, instead gnosis is what takes piece of archon's power and gives to humans. we know from ei that she's not even aware it's happening. archons are bound to "grant" visions by celestia, without their actual knowledge or consent. but neuvi is not bound by celestia, instead, he says he purposefully set away parts of himself to gift to humans, like treasure.

second. all hydro users are mimics, all of them have a theme of performance, of pretending to be someone else, and it's almost always when they feel they HAVE to play a role. Barbara who pretends to be cheerful and happy for her fans while being depressed, Ayato received his vision the night his father gave him responsibility for their failing commission and he realized he will have to play for the politics, Kokomi keeping up role of priestess for her people even though it literally drains her, Xingque hiding his passion for writing behind facade of commercial heir for his father, and so on. They struggle with having to hide their real selves for the role, which is exactly what Furina went through. But she didn't have vision when she was playing the Archon.

Instead, she received vision when she freely decided to step on stage to express herself instead of being forced like before. when the lines between role and her herself are clearly marked and known to both her and the audience, and the performance was made to bring joy to both her and other people, instead of a lie meant to fool them.

and tldr idk, i think it's very poetic that one of the first, if not THE first vision that was ever given by a god freely, as a gift instead of being forced by the gnosis, is for the wish that was also finally made freely after so many years of not having a choice.

i do not know where the idea came from but focalors and furina are no where NEAR mother/daughter.

they are one in the same person, two "sides" of one whole being not family!

furina literally referred to focalors as 'mirror-me'. you wouldnt do that to your parent would you? no

Off with her head!
