Archon Quest - Tumblr Posts
so i've been seeing people talk about theories and stuff and how hey haven't shown supposedly any pyro vision holders in natlan, other than the archon herself ig, but,,, didn't atea have a pyro vision?? i swear i saw one when we spoke to her just as she was giving us that rock talisman thingy
I started the sumeru archon quest at 1:30pm and finished at 12:20am, it is now the next morning and I'm still processing all that it was.
I've just gotten to sumeru's archon quest, and is it normal to want to murder the grand sage so much? Like I have yet to even reach the worst part according to everyone? Why do I want to punch him so much?
Caribert made me feeling sad😥
How come a little boy ends like that...
Old drawing of Kaeya my beloved <3 How we feeling about the latest Archon Quest?
the archon quest-absolutely CRAZY
and i am crazy for dain
the indirect interaction of the twins... HALFDAN. STRONG BOI. THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING US.
i'm utterly concerned when dain said that khaenri'ah needn't be revived... but i'm no theorist so i'll just do an action called waiting
3.2 Genshin Archon Quest / Thoughts
GENSHIN SPOILERS
I just did the 3.2 archon quest
i started it at midnight, it has been 5 hours and 30 minutes since then
jesus fuck
so anyway
HOLY SHIT? SO MUCH HAPPENED and im gonna need to reprocess that when im not very sleep deprived NO CAUSE WHAT??? i cant right now but just
also greater lord r i really dont know how to spell her name but i assume you know who i am talking about by greater lord, because there is only one but so when she sacrificed herself or whatever for irminsul (i dont know if i spelled that right either)- to be honest i was really tired and yawning and felt like collapsing and resting but i really wanted to hear that story because you cant redo the quest and while you can relisten to the dialogue its not the same but so she did that whole thing and everyone forget her? it pains me, not to mention how the traveler reacts when we're in the grand bazaar at the feast where shes surprised that kusanali 'returned' to the akademiya
a secret. i wont be surprised if there turns out to be fics in the future where the traveler instead tells people about greater lord rugghadevata that does not look right, oof. uhm. but so yeah. ALSO SCARA??? apparently hes in a coma- WHO TF IS THAT DOOD WHO WAS REVEALED FOR I THINK 3.3 THAT WE ALL THOUGHT WAS SCARA?? WELL IT CANT NOT BE HIM--
LOOK- NO BUT SRSLY?? i dont know if this is a leak or not, it just invaded my youtube recommended so i couldnt do shit about it because it was in the thumbnails but i THINK its not..? idk man but so anyway
jesus fuck they overhyped the boss fight- not that it wasnt cool, because it really was, but jeez it was a little bit easier then i thought haha no but since we got a shot of its battle mechanics it helped me get a hang of it easier? i ended up one trying it, but not without IMMENSE panic and character death uhh. okay so like you know how that text appears at the top of your screen to guide you?? okay so you know hwo like barely anyone read the vision hunt decree text on raiden's fight because they were trying not to die?
bro it was saying something which i now know is about stunning him and i could barely read it because i was just being attacked man i mean with trial and error i figured it out AND THEN HIS LEGS
i didnt know if we were meant to attack it or not man ;_;
ALSO ELEAZAR IS GONE
WOOOOO
anyway im gonna go sleep for like the next few hours because i actually have school and i got super immersed into the game to where i just completely zoned out and forgot about time and shit
AaAaa oh oh yeah not to mention nahida saying that we're like i already forgot what it was called but like.. there were 3 other people the fatui i think classified as not from this world, which nahida thinks one is the heavenly principles, but the other 2 we dont know, and the 4th is us. The thing IS is that our twin is NOT classified as an external person, like they BELONG in teyvat, which is.. ..huh...? and they were like there for khaenri'ah and had their journey through the 7 nations, which we knew what happened but this is more confirmation ig? and then towards the end we dont know. ..huh.? what the fuck idk man im gonna rest on it and hope i dont stay confused (i mean i sort of understand?? its probably one of those things ill have to look back on in the future when i understand)
⸢ FURINA'S HAIR: SYMBOLISM ⸥
OTHER NOTES ➽ My personal interpretation of our beloved archon's design, specifically the way she styled her hair in all forms.
SPOILERS ➽ SPOILERS FOR 4.2 ARCHON QUEST, PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
Focalors, who had pure straight hair. Seamlessly luscious befitting that of the divine.
Focalors, who separated her humanity and divinity, one day seeking that human half for a greater goal.
Focalors, who approached a short-haired Furina that possessed the same raw curiosity for living as Focalors did when she first left her watery form. So young yet so full of life.
Furina, accepting a role at the cost of herself, donning a polished attire that still resembled her human apparel.
Furina, who faced the eager audience that was Fontaine with the same long curls as Focalors, which was unlikely to have grown naturally in such a rushed length of time.
Furina, who paraded a unique haircut, yet you can see where the end of her short hair is, and where the temporary locks start.
Furina, who had shown us in her mental stage the rigorous pursuit of a solution for the prophecy; working with both her true human self and the godly persona she played.
Furina, who, unlike Focalor’s hair, had a distinct cut that’d separate the short thrill of humanity and the long lamentation of an archon.
Furina, who unlike Focalors', was always a figurehead even in design, one who didn’t have the same true divinity as Focalors.
Focalors, who, unlike Furina, didn’t have the pleasure of experiencing the glory of a god to her people nor the amusing titillation of a human.
Focalors, who will forever outgrow her hair until it’s long enough for even the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale to chop it, thus ending her divine run.
Furina, who, unlike Focalors', was able to live out her humanity even when the long tresses of divinity were cut from her hair. Only appearing when assuming a fleeting role as Fontaine’s archon.
Furina, who may now grow her hair at her own pace, not as an artificial divinity, but as a human who yearned for spectacle.
Focalors, who designed her human self in a way that’d allow for Furina to grow, because that’s the one thing she knew she couldn’t fulfill herself, as evidenced by the lengthy tresses that flow behind her before her demise.
Focalors, whose hair is unnaturally split into two, might've been the forewarning of her two halves.
Focalors, and her humanity, are differentiated by the consequences of cutting their hair, of cutting their divinity.

Why is it that scaranation's collective brain cells seem to gravitate to belial as our little fandango's archon name? Of all the ars goetia why this one specifically? What is it about this name that scratches that one spot in our brains and makes us go, yeah this is the one?
Okay, need to rant! Just done the 4.2 archon quest. Legit shed tears. I did not like Furina persona, but holy shit.
Big spoilers incoming!
Focalors is beautiful.
The Jp voice did a beautiful work on voice, with all three having a different feel. Actress Furina, true Furina and Focalors all have their style, and it's beautiful.
Furina suffered so much and yet. Fuck, until the very end she kept pushing.
The animation is great.
Truly the best archon quest yet, but fuck. It was so painful. We have the curse "May you live eternal" for a reason.
At start I was like fuck Focalors, your human half suffered, and then I realized what the damocles bladz was for and just... damn. Damn.
I'm goong to need a few days to digest this. This just is... painful.
Now that the Fontaine archon quest is done can we talk about how for a nation of justices that loves trials and the court we…don’t know much about their laws? I know more about Sumeru’s laws and what’ll get you arrested than Fontaine. Like okay “no naming a pet after Furina” sure? “Ketchup most only be a condiment”? Weird but okay like… In Sumeru we have the six sins, no tampering with matters of life and death, no delving beyond the universe things like that. That makes for SUCH interesting stories and character idea, a necromancer hiding from the Akademiya? That’d be SUCH a cool concept (so cool that’s an OC I’ve made) but I’m Fontaine if I want to make a criminal I can just…make them name a pet after Furina? Why is there such a lack of laws in crime in the nation of JUSTICE. I can’t even TALK to most NPCS in Meropide as like a “what did you do?” This is like my one main complaint about the nation as a whole if anyone knows any extra Fontaine specific laws please let me know
