had some brainworms about transfem furina.... can anyone hear me.

i feel like this would have really interesting implications in her story, much as she loves acting, but struggles with it due to the 500 years she spent being forced to act, would being a woman be the same for her? she doesn't know where the act ends and where her actual identity begins. is she a woman because she wants to be, or just because she had to be one. even if she enjoys it more than the alternative, does she actually enjoy it? or is it just because she was one for so long that she enjoys it?

i can imagine that focalors likely didnt care much about her identity/presentation as archons have been shown to be able to change their forms at will basically, but furina is the human counterpart of focalors. she doesn't have that ability to change herself just like that. i imagine gender identity would be much more important to a human, especially one that must keep up an act at all times, than a god, and thus something that would affect her. something she would think about. a lot.

maybe post-prophecy, she would experiment. figure out if femininity is in fact something she wants. maybe she would try to go back to being "cis" and then realize it wasn't right for her. and i imagine that she would flourish more being able to properly express her femininity rather than doing it just because it was apart of the role.

#my art #genshin impact #furina #idk. i think trans readings of furina in general are very interesting. it could work any which way for her. #but. something about the transfem furina hc really hits for me and im not sure why! #it got me thinking! #sorry if these thoughts arent coherent. im not the best at expressing what i want to say. hope it makes sense though! #but god. furina and how complicated her feelings must be on everything is so so so interesting #it must be a nightmare to figure out who she really is and how she really feels. how she really thinks. #since her identity got blurred together with that of being an archon #kinda scared to post this bc i dont usually post headcanon type stuff (probably fear about being Wrong about something) but here we go! #well whatever this is also my sideblog and not my main.
