I'm still thinking about Fontaine and the previous Hydro Archon, Furina & Neuvillette.
Because, like, we know Nahida is the youngest Archon, being born during the Cataclysm when Rukkhadavata died. Which means Furina must be older than 500 and must have existed at the same time as the previous Hydro Archon (I'll call her "Amrita" for simplicity's sake). Now I kind of think that Furina was a part of Amrita, since we know from the Oceanids that water can combine and disperse and maintain consciousness between these states. But that feels pretty similar to the Nahida situation so I'm not sure if Hoyo would do that.
In which case I'm free to headcanon that Furina was Amrita's problematic little protegee. Just a full on spoiled kiddo under the Archon's care, who got flung into authority unexpectedly after the cataclysm (explaining why she sucks so bad at it).
And if Furina did have a student-teacher relationship with Amrita, then it makes sense that the dissolving prophecy would be purposefully be left to her as a "conundrum" to be solved. Like Amrita realised Furina was a spoiled brat and wanted to leave a lesson to be learned behind.
Which then I think we need to talk about how Neuvillette fits into this dynamic. He's referenced as being at least a few hundred years old, and he's been around in Fontaine longer than Melusine records, since its rumoured that he's their creator when it was actually Elynas. So he probably also knew Amrita; yet I doubt he knew her for all that long.
In addition, it's pretty obvious that Neuvillette is the Hydro Dragon.
So here's my thought: Amrita is the Hydro Archon. She is pretty beloved by the people, but she doesn't believe a single person can ever be truly "fair and just" - one leader will always be coloured by bias. So she either splits off her consciousness to create Furina, or selects her from some other group as a student. She begins training Furina in the ways of balance and justice. During this same period, the Hydro Dragon is reborn in Fontaine as Neuvillette.
Now, whether Neuvillette is born to a human family or simply in human form doesn't really matter. I enjoy the idea of an egg appearing in the court and hatching out a tiny baby with elf ears, so let's say that's what happened.
Amrita recognises him as one of the dragons and becomes captured by a new idea - the dragons had previously been usurped on Teyvat, and Amrita is interested in fairness above all else. Rather than herself and Furina becoming Fontaine's dual leaders, it would be much more just for an archon and a dragon to rule together. It had all the benefits of defeating bias, while opening the country up to a new perspective.
So Amrita takes Neuvillette as a student too. Furina is still around and continues to be treated as Amrita's charge, yet she loses the responsibility of leadership before ever finishing the training. Neuvillette is instilled with the measure and countenance of a Justice, while Furina is allowed to watch along, worshipped as the Archon's companion.
She was there first, but Neuvillette is the "golden child". Furina resents the lack of attention.
Amrita still desires Fontaine to have co-leaders. When she must head towards her death during the Cataclysm, she leaves both Furina and Neuvillette in charge. When given this opportunity, Furina selfishly pronounces herself as the Archon upon Amrita's death. It's this act of treachery that drives away the Oceanids.
Neuvillette, being younger and less experienced, does not stand up to Furina. He is dedicated to carrying out justice, not leading the nation.
Furina quickly realises that she does not know what she is doing. She basks in the attention at first, but then crumples under the pressure. And so, she gives Neuvillette the title of "Chief Justice". In name, Furina remains the authority over Fontaine. However, in reality, all of the responsibility is placed upon Neuvillette's shoulders.
It was only in Amrita's prophecy, therefore, that Furina would be "left alone weeping" after her people dissolved. In every other matter, Neuvillette could deal with it. But for this utmost challenge to face the Nation, Furina alone carries the burden.
Neuvillette never gets the chance to exist outside of his role, but that helps clarify his connection to the people. He's their reliable Chief Justice, and that gives him an avenue to understand them through. Meanwhile, Furina does everything to remain popular, understanding her people only far enough to ingratiate herself to them. When it comes to how the people of fontaine will all dissolve, however, it's a problem she investigates behind closed doors, terrified of being seen struggling with her single duty to her nation.

My thoughts on the Amrita-Raj-Raadha love triangle.
Am I the only one who doesn't feel sorry for Amrita? She wanted this. She willingly entered a relationship with an already taken man. She knew he loves another and yet still pursued him, wanting to break Raj and Raadha up for the sake of her own selfish desires. She placed herself in this position of being a third wheel by standing in the way of two people who genuinely love each other, making everyone around her miserable in the process because she wanted to flex in front of the others of being Mrs Doobay. Yes she has a huge crush on him and is physically attracted to him but she also wants the prestige, position, wealth and influence that come with being his wife. I understand that she was still a "child" when the engagement happened, so I don't fully blame her. The true weight of the blame rests on her much older brother's shoulders who blackmailed Raj into this marriage and should know better as a significantly more mature and experienced individual than his adolescent baby sister. I understand that arranged marriages were common back then and he probably just wanted to secure a good match for his sister in order to make sure that she is well taken care of and her future is secured, but the way he went about it was shady AF and he should have realised, even back then, that he would be setting up his beloved little sister for a life of dissapointment, emotional neglect and heartbreak. Just imagine if the genders were reversed and it was Amrita who is being manipulated and emotionally blackmailed into a marriage and sexual relationship with a guy she doesn't want because she is already in love with somebody else. Would we still pity the guy who is forcing himself on an unwilling and resistant girl, saying that she should give him a little bit of a chance and treat him better? I don't think so. In my opinion, the true victims in this situation are Raj and Radha who truly got the worst of it. As far as Amrita is concerned, I think it would depend on how much she knew about her brother's role in all of this or whether she even approved of his scheming. But if she knew and still went along with it, then that's on her.

While you said you want Spider to get an avatar in the tonowari'itan au, but I had a thought, treat it like an au of an au. Since tulkans are extremely intelligent Spider would be able to befriend one even if not traditionally. Also if it would be possible to get amrita with less murder, that would get rid of the human-navi life span difference problem. I mean he would still be a lot more vulnerable then if he had a Navi body, but I still wanted to share this idea
I could see this working, if they weren't able to make spider an avatar, and didn't want to waste what was already stolen from their spirit siblings, they could find a way to use it so spider would live a longer life. this could also make his connection with the tulkun stronger, as in one way or another, he is one with them.
he is one with the pod regardless, his na'vi family makes sure of that, and the tulkun are quick to accept him, he's their strange little human boy, he's sweet and respectful, and now he's one of theirs.
its a bittersweet fix, on many levels, but they make it work.

As people we narrowly get by with our lives each day, energy from our soft, delicate actions appearing like cherry blossoms, only once, and only for a short while. Eventually petals fall to the ground.

Amrita Questions
I was listening to "If We Were Vampires" by Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit today, and it got me thinking about Amrita, from Avatar TWOW. There isn't much focus on the subject, except for the fact that it stops human aging.
Okay so now I have all of these questions.
Does it stop both mental and physical aging? Like what would happen if a child was injected with Amrita; would their brains continue to develop? I don't think that would make sense. And if it stopped both, it would halt mental diseases that typically come with old age (not always) like Alzheimer's and dementia.
Would it also prevent your body from developing different diseases? (Not Contracting) I feel like there are certain cancers that can hit people at any age, so would that still be a problem. I understand there would probably be a cure for Cancer at this point in time, but would diseases like that be able to develop? I think the main question is how far does it delve into immortality?
If your brain doesn't continue developing, does that mean, if you use Amrita at age 18, you'll never be able to legally drink/smoke because you never truly reached 21 and your brain isn't at the correct maturity level to enjoy these substances correctly?
The idea of immortality in this world is just so interesting and I wanted to see what other people thought.
