furina story quest containment zone


small letter
starting out with... katheryne why do you have her address,,,

small letter
but also. man i just fuckin started and listening to furina talk is already making me


small letter
baby you dont have to keep trying to mask

small letter
also. i know its reddit, but still. wow people really blew paimon's lines at the start of this quest way out of proportion huh

small letter
paimon and the traveler were no worse to furina than they are to literally anyone else they ever talk to............. like, no, they arent really at a relationship stage where they can poke fun at her and it be light-hearted funsies, but also, they literally do this all the time

small letter
im literally still in the first convo with her so maybe it becomes more pronounced but man

small letter
reddit

small letter
like -- i absolutely and 100% get empathizing with furina in the position of setting a boundary for herself and having to be firm about it when someone keeps going "are you sure?"

small letter
but all the takes i've seen about this has been so very much like

small letter
taking everything paimon & traveler say here at the worst faith possible

small letter
and thus, hashtag reddit

small letter
nooooo now she's apologizing for holding a boundary. too fucking real

L'fuckingChaim
right???

small letter
I WANT TO FLUFF HER HAIR SO FUCKING BAD

small letter
SHE'S SO FLUFFY

small letter
i also wanna just hold her hand through all of it. baby girl. baby

FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
katheryne has her address for fatui reasons

FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
but also yeah we are holding the girl tight

FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
and making her eat something other than sadness macaroni

small letter
depression meal unlocked: Only Macaroni

FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
real tho

L'fuckingChaim
she's RIGHT that it's very versatile

L'fuckingChaim
but also: let me give you some of my radishes

small letter
the npc reaction repetition of "oh its you guys -- FURINA?!" is not getting old

small letter
man i love her!!!!

small letter
BEST. LOADING SCREEN. EVER

small letter
though the one in yoimiya's SQ2 was also really good

small letter
Please HYV Keep Doing This It's So Good

small letter
i am so so proud of her for holding to her boundary when people asked about it, but this is also where i knew this was going:


small letter
she genuinely loves the artistic form and its a good outlet for her to express herself

small letter
and she can be extremely choosey about what roles on stage she does take. no reason why she can't continue helping off-stage, too

small letter
she does have a knack for leadership when she stops overthinking and doubting herself and its so so good to see

small letter


small letter
but she fits best when she isn't in a "lead from the front" role, which also makes her playstyle perfect for her

small letter
her real laugh also fucking lays me out, man

small letter
as an ex-theater kid myself: fucking mood, buddy


small letter
that SQ was so so so good. i'm so happy

FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
right, we all knew where it was going, but

L'fuckingChaim
I think she demonstrates the ability to be a GREAT director/producer

small letter
i agree, i think thats really where she'd shine the most

small letter
i was right in that her SQ made me feel better about like. her combat lines and etc., in particular her delivery of them. i love the subtle difference between her showmanship now vs before AQ, but i was like 'why is she putting on the act again
'


small letter
but no, its okay now. i understand

FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
also like... Same Trauma speaking, but when you've kept a secret through a particular pattern of behaviour for a long time, not acting that way is going to be an effort

FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
and she has five hundred years of putting on that act

small letter
right???

small letter
Not Masking is a heckin bitch and a half especially when you dont immediately notice you're doing it

small letter
i loved seeing those moments in her SQ

small letter
i just had Concerns with her dialogue lines, like "pls tell me its not like that All The Time for her, i will be sad"

FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
the opposite of whatever wanderer is doing because his voicelines are all his snarksona

FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
(sorry i just had like a ten minute discussion with cygna earlier about wanderer/furina foils)

FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
(a good narrative is one where each character has like six different foils)

small letter
I WAS THINKING ABOUT THEM TOO

small letter
i want to make a Team Brat but dont know how to fill it out

small letter
and furina doesnt entirely match the description anyway

small letter


small letter
but wanderer + furina + fischl + ???

L'fuckingChaim
hu tao

FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
... god the thing is that Furina (slurps hp. she can restore it but like. slurp) + hu tao (slurps her own hp) + wanderer (i swear to GOD he's the most fragile character in the FUCKING game) sounds like a disaster without a committed healer

small letter
i lack a hu tao sadly, that thought has crossed my mind also

small letter
and HAHAHA LEGIT

small letter
like that team Needs some kind of healer for sure but which of our healers qualifie for Brat (that isnt dori. banned. blocked. unsubscribed. thrown into mt doom etc)

small letter
.. *qualify. tf, brain

small letter
though i do, at some point, need to do a furina + qiqi team. because kqm said qiqi is a great driver for furina teams! at which point i started yelling MURDER BABY again

small letter
one day my qiqi will get the dps build she deserves

FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
we don't really but we do have a dedicated brat herder (shinobu)

small letter
that is an excellent point


small letter
the way i imagine that team working would be like

small letter
fischl and furina would be chattering about something. wanderer would say something snarky to make fun of them. furina would take it personally. wanderer would be even more snarky on principle. shinobu would cut in

L'fuckingChaim
shinobu: nope nope nope none of that

L'fuckingChaim
also dori isn't a brat but a different worse thing

L'fuckingChaim
it's a power relationship thing I think

L'fuckingChaim
...so you pick the healer who consumes her own HP

FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
yeah she gives furina's ult extra stacks that way

FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
genuinely i think furina's ult might replace bennett as meta darling for some characters

small letter
i need to raise my c6 mika so i can do the new eula + mika + furina + electro team

small letter
shinobu would be great for it, but also, shogun plus eula equals success
