Neuvillette now canonically being the one giving out Hydro visions (referred to as "parts of him") and having full control over Pneumousia while Furina's newly acquired vision has dragon teeth-like clamps over the Vision gem and is the only Pneumousia vision and likely the first Vision Neuvillette ever granted since getting his dragon's authority back

Like ok dude we get it! She's your special little wifey.

I absolutely adore your ideas for turian culture. The shawls, the interesting word choices correlating with Roman/Latin words (like zuccha, amar, saccha). My absolute favorite thing though is the ties they have with the sky and stars. Garrus' curses (empty night, blackest night) especially are some of my favorite little elements in the universe you write for them. Where did you come up with these awesome ideas? I'm just so invested in the culture you created for my favorite space cats!

Hello Anon! Sorry this took so long to answer, I got absolutely giddy when I read it!

Well the whole Latin thing is taken both from canon (they're based on the Roman empire) and fanon. I know others have used Latin words and Roman culture to develop turian culture, and I liked it so I ran with it. A lot of the words I made up are bastardized latin words, lol. Saccha, mela, and zuccarum (zucca for short) are taken from the Latin words for sugar, honey, and ... sugar again, I think, lol. Crulum is taken from cookie. I kind of just look up the latin words for things and throw some letters around until I'm happy with the mouth feel of it. Other words I just plain make up, like lambas, which is a dish Val makes for the family. I want all turian words to sound like a rich, rolling, rumbly language as much as possible. For Avinelin, a Garrus/Nihlus one shot, I wanted the turian language Nihlus teaches Garrus to sound more like Spanish, because I think it's an incredibly sexy language. Basically, I want turians to sound hot I guess! I think a lot of people like to write turians as cold and ultra-militaristic, and go as far as to say they don't show physical affection easily (which is a valid take that I fully support!). But, I like to show the opposite of that -- that yes their culture is regimented and bureaucratic, but there's still warmth within them. Maybe expressing that warmth within them is even more important, considering their strict social guidelines.

I think that's also why I like to explore the importance of celestial themes with them as well. It shows that they once were religious, just like many species, and that shaped their language and how they cope with life. I know others play with curses being star based as well, so I didn't invent that, I just have fun playing with it. I will say that so far my favorite bit of star theme that I've come up with though, is Garrus seeing Jane's freckles as stars in a night sky, and that when he was a boy he'd look up at the night sky for comfort and solace. I don't get gushy over things I write often, but that moment in The Quarian where he makes that connection gets me! And I will absolutely be playing with that as Garrus and Jane reveal their feelings and explore their relationship in The Boy. One day he'll tell Jane that her freckles are like stars and she'll just melt 🥺 (I've already written the scene 😁)

OH, and the shawls...in the sequel to The Boy (working title is The Missing -- I hate my titles btw, but I feel stuck to the theme now, lol) There's going to be a murder based on the Jeffrey McDonald murders (a military doctor accused "hippies" of killing his family) and I wanted turians to have some sort of cultural appearance that xenophobic humans judged, but was based on something loving, so I thought maybe turians wear shawls while they marry, then i daydreamed about Jane wearing a shawl when her and Garrus get married, then when I was writing about a winter turian holiday (Anivia Vocan) I thought it would be cool if turians wear shawls for all important occasions. Boom, turians have special shawls. Okay, I feel like I've blabbered on enough. Bless anyone who read through this all. TLDR is that I have no plan and don't even keep track of the stuff I write. It all just bubbles up while I'm daydreaming about Jane and Garrus and I include what I remember.

Thanks for asking! Hope this was fun to read. If it was, I'm always down to answer any questions about my stories or world building! ❤️

Neuvillette knows that Furina's resolution, her determination to hold true to her performance, to not risk the fate of the people of Fontaine for even a shred of relief for herself, would have meant she'd never have shared her burden with him.

No matter how close they were, no matter how much he'd have begged, asked or prodded about her secrets, no matter how abundantly clear he had made it that she could share everything with him.

He just hopes that, at some point, at least once, Furina might have considered it.

[saccharinerose]

Neuvillette needs a proper dragon form in-game. Give my girl Beisht a break...

[saccharinerose]

Cannot believe Genshin Impact has me simping for a Frenchman but in my defense, they showed him from this angle and it's also heavily insinuated he is a water dragon in some way, shape or form

[saccharinerose]

Ascension voicelines may not necessarily be "canon" but uhhhhhhhh....

[saccharinerose]

"Neuvillette is a parental figure to Furina" is such a stupid fucking argument bc literally nothing about their relationship is exclusively and explicitly parental, especially not with Neuvillette in the role of the parent, and if you still peddle that shit in 2024 I'm manifesting wasps in your house.

He cares about her and is older (potentially, depending on how you count Furina's age) and he pays her pension post-4.2 but Neuvillette didn't raise her, he didn't provide her guidance on anything, didn't teach her things she needs to know in life and he's not her caretaker!

If anything, it would have been the other way around when Neuvillette first arrived in Fontaine. Furina would have been the one teaching him shit like Fontainian customs, etiquette and law.

But she's short and energetic and he's tall and quiet so they're forced to fit into the father-daughter boxes no matter what

Thank you, brain, for making me love NeuviFuri

[saccharinerose]

In a conversation the topic of childhood comes up and the human part of the Fontaine cast (Wrio, Clorinde, Navia) is hit by 3 consecutive mental sucker punches when Furina, Neuvilllette and Sigewinne all reveal one after another that they have Never Been Children

[saccharinerose]

Furina's leaked constellation names and the information that Neuvillette's first name is secret has me eating my entire fist

[saccharinerose]

There's something so amusing about Sigewinne essentially confessing to (what I assume must be) SEVERE medical malpractice in letters she sends to the highest judge in the land, seemingly without getting into any trouble for it ever.i

[saccharinerose]

Sigewinne taking care of child Wriothesley at Neuvillette's request and sending him regular updates on his growth via letter, including complaining that he doesn't eat his veggies drink his milkshakes is so funny but also is likely going to be pointedly ignored by large parts of the fandom.

[saccharinerose]

Furina 🤝 Sigewinne

being called daughters to men younger than them just bc these men use the tall male model

[saccharinerose]

Apep at Neuvillette + Furina's wedding (VERY hesitantly took a human form): Just know, Leviathan, I do not approve of this union. She may have played a part in returning your Authority to you but she is still of those Usurpers' people. I might tolerate their presence to witnesses how far they go but a union between one of them and one of us is unacceptable!

Apep upon being introduced to their first daughter:
