First 4 of the Genshin Impact Archons I tried to draw in a Mucha inspired style. It's so much fun to draw this way but I'm also dreading drawing Furina.

Archons ranked by how well they treat their catgirls
Unranked:
Zhongli - No authentic cat girls, but dishonourable mention for putting Ganyu and Yanfei in danger by not resigning like a normal person
Nahida - Honourable mention because if Sumeru had catgirls, she would take excellent care of them. Plus, there’s a whole darshan that specializes in animals and stuff, so that’s probably to her credit.
Makoto - She probably did a fine job, but being dead a tree means being unranked.
F Rank:
Furina - Fontaine’s sole catgirl was almost a victim of human trafficking until an agent of a foreign state intervened.
A Rank:
Ei - Despite abandoning Inazuma for 500 years, she did leave Miko in charge of the yōkai, which was a good choice considering Miko’s power and competence. This also meant she left Miko in charge of the catgirls and I think Kirara turned out alright? Points off for Miko’s general attitude which no doubt led to much teasing of innocent catgirls.
S Rank:
Venti - Let’s be honest: despite what he says and how he acts, Venti is very involved in his people’s lives. Mondstadt is home to an entire bloodline of catfolk and two very lovely catgirls. They both have rewarding careers and one of them even has an anemo vision. In fact, Fontaine’s catgirl has one too, suggesting he’s doing more for Lynette than Furina. Topping all this off, my man is ALLERGIC TO CATS. Truly, he is the supreme catgirl respecter of the Archon family.

Shout out to Zhongli for being the only archon who hasn’t gotten his shit kicked in on some form in the main story

That's the thing about immortality... It's a curse, not a gift, for you lose everything in a life you don't get to share with anyone

I’m gonna try to say this without sounding weird… okay?
Another reason why I like Barbatos so much as an Archon is that he is the type of god I would want for me.
He’s so human-like that it’s easy to forget he’s a god. He actively interacts with humans regularly to understand their culture, and he encourages “rest” and “joy” in life through a strong drinking culture and “whimsical” lifestyle.
It really is about finding joy in an everyday life.
Not only that, but he actively participates in putting on events to further this motto, most recent case scenario: The Poetry Event!
It’s these small things that he partakes in that encourages his people to grow and learn new things/try new things while—most importantly—having fun (!) that portray a god that is FOR the people first and foremost. Remembering that even though it’s simple (ish. Poetry is hard, sometimes, to me LOL), it is something new and exciting and breaks that monotonous life cycle.
He’s also a god that doesn’t “hover”; he’s there if you really need him but, otherwise, you have to fight your own battles. You need to grow; you need to realize your own strength by not having him around all the time.
Sure, he pokes fun at himself in these instances, sleeps so often that he really isn’t there all the time, is a drinker, etc., that it’s almost hard to see him as a god at all. He is so human.
You’re only reminded he’s a god when you realize he’s had a whole life, and several lives, really, before this one.
So, perhaps the reason he’s so appealing as a god is because he doesn’t really act like one at all. He acts like a “good” and humble human.
I suppose those that you find similarities in are what attracts you, so maybe that plays a part in Venti’s appeal. (Aka his human similarities)
On the other hand, Zhongli is probably best in encompassing the picture of a god: strong, capable, ready to step in but also ready to test his people “if they’re worthy” of standing on their own.
Ei is… a god in the sense that she’s feared. Untouchable. Hard to see any likeness in her to a human, so, she is, indeed, separate from her people.
Nahida holds knowledge so unfathomable and intangible that she is otherworldly, but due to her age, she is hard to compare to an “otherworldly god” and more seems like “another power”/“oracle”/“great other being” to seek out advice but to never quite “worship”—or at least, that’s what the Archon quest felt like to me.
Focalors is… well, she is painted to be the one imitating a god—down to the dotted ‘i’ where she puts on a bravado with none of the power to back it up. By all means, she should be the feared god, the powerful and interesting one that has an iron hand and all-wisdom—as if she plays both Nahida and Zhongli at once—but her power is that of a Venti, an everyday man that speaks ostentatious language to intimidate but never follows up on his word—for now. She’s just getting started, after all.
(Note: haven’t played the continuance of the Archon Quest at this time)
I guess it depends on how you define a god, which is why these portrayals are all so unique. It would then also depend on each individual to pick which one is the most appealing god to you—a protector, one with wisdom, a feared god, one that is active and fascinating, or—the one that blends in with its people.

Furina has done nothing to stop the impending disaster, Arlecchino has been sure of this fact for years.
And then the flood comes and it leaves and a moment later Furina staggers out of the Epicles, gaunt, shaking, and stares out at her rejoicing people with an expression of horror.
She has half a mind to kill Furina there and then- useless god who cares not for her people- but she looks so pathetic, sunk there on the ground, tears leaking from her empty human eyes, that she thinks letting her live might be the crueler punishment.
After all, she had done nothing.
-
Two days later Furina storms into the House of Hearth, her children hot on her heels, and slams Arlecchino against a wall, demanding “how dare you?”
She is pale and thin and her eyes are sleepless, but the disgraced lady speaks with such unrestrained ferocity. And as her children arrive she waved them away, and she listens.
She learns of this trickster Archon, who committed godly feats with her human mind, who lost half of herself to the Soverign, who has gone mad long ago, and has died many, many times. Who suffered for five hundred years and watched her world drown. Who stumbles outside to find her citizens rejoicing and whole, shouting “the prophecy was wrong!” That her sacrifice had been for naught.
She learns of Furina, who is living for nothing for the first time in five hundred years, and as the child(?) ends her rant, chest heaving, cheeks flushed, eyes gleaming, a little feeling emerges from her chest that feels almost like guilt.

In a weird way, it seems Paimon's behavior reflects that of the archon/nations we visit. At least from my memory, as this story has unfolded.
I've only noticed this because of all the things she said in Sumeru vs. what she has said in Fontaine, thus far, is contradicting. She goes from hinting at a possible, maybe even, permanent separation between us to "we'll always be together no matter what, we're best companions after all."
Mondstadt - a laid-back Paimon in the nation of freedom, after all. The nation has competent people who handled the situation for the archon.
Liyue - Paimon seemed a little more knowledgeable about things that, to me anyway, gives the set up she should have been smarter, but then she kinda goes back to having a childish mindset. But anyway Liyue is known for having a rich history and traditions, which you can talk about with a few people, especially Zhongli.
Inazuma- fear, the people were scared of what was happening and what it could mean for them.
Sumeru- Paimon kept bringing up the idea of separation/isolation. Nahida was isolated and separated from her people her whole life, only to look at the world through their dreams.
Fontaine- still figuring this out, it's like my brain is going, "The answer is *static*" but the main thing is the heavy implications of being a duo or team. Working with others who you might not get along well with, even.

I'm delusional so I'm talking about Furina losing her godhood again and why I think it's a bad call.
The only other archon to "step down" in any case is Zhongli. You could also say that Venti stepped down, but he couldn't really step down because it didn't seem like he was in charge at all.
Zhongli seemed to be in charge, an ever present god managing the nation from many different angles. He was everything a God should get, capital G. He was a great ruler, a strong protector, and a noble God.
Zhongli stepped down because he was done with that, ready to retire. He served his time, learned and experienced more than mortals could dream of and even more than his fellow Gods.
Furina has so much to learn. Something is happening to her, her curse, and she's a younger god grappling with this pedestal she's found herself on and has this prophecy on her plate that she doesn't know what she's supposed to do with.
If we look at Nahida and Ei as well, both of them are getting second chances after their shortcomings. Nahida deserves it the most, since she was shunned by her people and ignored for her whole life. Ei, meanwhile, does not deserve it. Sorry to Ei apologists (I am with you) but the Vision Hunt Decree is still her fault in my head. Her inability to step up because of her grief led to the Vision Hunt Decree, and even Scaramouche and the tragedy of his life.
Both Nahida and Ei get second chances, and Zhongli stepped down because he's already learned everything he needed to know. Then there's Venti who isn't present as a god or ruler because of his principles and his trust in his people.
Furina has so much to learn and has not gotten a second chance yet. Her stepping down would feel like such a waste and double standard. A God can steal the ambition of her people and cause so much death and despair and be redeemed but a naive, inexperienced God doesn't even get the chance to change or prove herself?

2: Genshin wiki fandom title: night sky above dragonspine
There we're once a world called Teyvat. The world was peaceful, quiet, and soothing. Even though their creator wasn't really there for them, everyone still worshiped them. Why? Simply because they created them.
But soon, the creator dies. The reason was that they killed themselves because they could not bear the responsibility. They say that the pain of it was agonizing. The world began to crumble, and celestials could not stop this. Everyone lost hope until a miracle happened, Teyvat was back to normal. What was happening? It will remain a mystery to the others. But those who share the memories [heh, Zhongli lol] shall remember and know the true story.
"Oh, hello traveler! What brings you to this fine evening?" [Venti]
"Tsk, don't listen to that drunken bard. Although I am curious why you are here?..." [Zhongli]
"..." [Raiden/Ei]
"Hello, traveler! Ah, the atmosphere is a little tense, but everything is fine..." [Nahida]
Well, this is awkward....
"Well, paimon and traveler was just walking around to do some commission, but we got lost and found you here! Augh, I don't think paimon can fly anymore because how awkward this is!"
Aether/lumine tried holding back their laughter from hearing paimon's little statement.
"Anyways, paimon is curious. Why are you guys standing near a......"
Paimon face went pale. She wanted to scream, but nothing came out of her.
"....." [archons]
"What is what, paimon?" [Traveler]
Paimon went behind the traveler as the traveler finally felt like something was wrong...
"What are you guys hiding..." [traveler]
"You don't need to know such things. This is our business, as Archons." [Zhongli]
"Zhongli is correct." [Ei]
It was weird seeing Ei not using her puppet instead to just go to this place for....what ever that thing is behind them.
"Well, shouldn't I deserve to know since I've helped you in so many things, don't you think?" [Traveler]
"The traveler is right. We can trust them since they helped us in so many things." [Nahida]
"I agree! I don't think they would dare tell a soul about it..." [Venti]
The Archons moved away to stop blocking the view. Whatever the traveler had seen made them pale. Nahida clenched her hands as the other archons looked away, seemingly looking guilty.
"What did you do?!" [Traveler]
"We did nothing! They....they were already like this!...." [zhongli]
This is the first time seeing the calm, collected archon become so...angry
The figure they saw was embedded into the ground. Their eyes held no soul. There were vines-like things growing on their arms. Making the figure more embedded than it is. It's like Teyvat is sucking them in, what's going on?
"Traveler, have you heard a story of the creator?" [Nahida/Zhongli]
Traveler shakes their head as a sign of no. While they feel Paimon gripped their clothing harder, as they see Paimon was about to tear up.
The archons let Nahida explain the story of what people believed happened. Although some parts were correct, it wasn't really the story.
Venti volunteers to sing the true story, but Zhongli stops him.
"I am older than all of you, so I should be the one who tells the story. Am I not correct?"
Nahida, let's Zhongli explain since it was true he was the oldest and experienced it in first hand.
"You see, the original creator died, and Teyvat was crumbling to its death. But the figure you saw behind us was a God who saved us. They were more powerful than the celestials, but our original creator set some limits. As you can see, the reason why they are embedded is that they sacrificed their body to become one with Teyvat. Giving support to it. Since im the god of contracts, I had seen the contract between our creator and the God who saved us. Even if our creator was dead, their soul still remained and made a deal with them. Now that kind God is here. Before they became unconscious, they told us that when an outlander reaches sumeru, they will be awakened and finally be free from the grasp." [Zhongli]
To be continued

I like the trend with “my Genshin team sleeping together”, so I did it with archons. A little funny interpretation of the archon family

This fandom needs to make more stuff acknowledging that horror potential of the Archons.
Venti for example is easy, the man’s wearing his olds friends face (not literally, but still.) He’s proven to be able to do the whole whatever he did during his Story Quest. There’s probably a bunch of other shit I can’t think of
For Zhongli there’s the whole horror trope of: “somethings wrong with my friend” but the wrongness in context is the fact that he’s acclimating to the whole human thing. With Childe, imagine you get sent far from home to potentially kill a guy, while overseas you make a friend only to learn later that the guy you’re after is your new friend and he knew the whole time. Also the whole shapeshifting thing and being capable of making life forms out of geo (not Azdaha, some bird and whale(?), it’s in an artifact set story).
Raiden Shogun & Ei have the whole puppet thing going on. Just imagine Shogun’s head doing a 180 turn to look at the traveler before they know she was a puppet. And Ei gave up her physical form (somewhat??) for Makoto to be the Archon, meaning her form shouldn’t be confined to “mortal limitations” (this could apply to all of them tbf)
Nahida’s whole dream and mind reading thing.
With Furina and Focalors you could do something with Furina’s reflection not acting correctly sometimes, maybe Furina’s neck becomes hyper mobile after Act V. Idk with them tbh
With Venti and Zhongli, considering they’re “undercover”, something with them becoming fatally injured (by human standards) and just acting as if nothing is wrong. You know how the big bad in horror media is nigh unbeatable and just walks everything off? That vibe. (A line from a fic that has rly stuck with me is about Zhongli walking around with his entrails hanging out not paying it any mind, it was made jokingly but it eats away at my brain)

Venti: Are we stealing them?
Ei: New or used?
Zhongli: Wonderful responses, both of you.
