As goofy as it sounds, I can't help but mourn the stories we could have had. I know Karin & Trick will land on their feet - if I was a studio, I'd snap them up before they could even finishing clearing their desks. But god, it feels like the end of an era.

Though I found the games shortly before things started going downhill. When my idols began leaving the studio citing bad working conditions, harassment from fans and excessive pressure from higher ups. And now, one of my last favourite writers at the company is gone.

This is them post-massive world changing war when they cut ties with the fatui and move the hearth to the fontainian countryside gdi

Still baffled by her goofy ass disguise like babe, gloves exist?? And considering all the fighting you do, I damn well hope you have more than one waistcoat. Pls be for real

Cue her eventually returning w/ Columbina, her new spicy fatui outfit (specifically with no blue to further separate her from being Focalors' shadow) and confidence/slight insanity. Poor Arle is a) still pining from before motg, b) turned on by confident Furina & c) really wanting to get her therapy

Shout out to the heavenly principles - you sucked ass but at least you recognised Arlecchino should get The Hottest Curse

My therapist is gonna hear about chapter 6 (but seriously, it's so good, perfect, I think my fav arlefuri fic ever. My heart hurts, *let them be happy omg*)

The only thiccer Furina I like to see is getting her a lil belly and thighs to store her cakes. But keep her pancake chest the way it is pls, husband has enough boob for both of them.

Furina's assumptions did not match the majority of Arle's fantasies which usually ended with getting to witness Furina basking in the afterglow. Meanwhile, Arle is a nice kind of sore as he gets to enjoy the strong satisfaction of a job well done

I just imagine for their first time, Furina has assumptions of how this is gonna go down based on the dynamics of their relationship thus far but when their making out starts to get *spicy*, Arle just... subtly spreads his legs a little and Furina's eyes widen as she realises 'omg am I gonna top??'

Just,,, harbinger Furina being her tiny terror self but add terrorism and being Father to the vibes. Poor Arle going through those meetings as professionally and stoicly as possible for her archon persona when she really just wants to be bent over the table by this slightly crazed authoritive Fufu 😍

Ayyyyyyy love that we get the funky fashionista!! Goes with our funky birds

Arle immediately suspects that Furina knew more than she was letting on due to her bubbliness the last few days. And she's not salty about that. At all. And Furina doesn't need to cuddle and comfort a very grumpy Father the next couple of nights, that would be ridiculous.

The rest of the family find out by *meeting Freminet's new boyfriend in person*. Yeah, the twins embarrass him and Lynette gives a, frankly creative, shovel talk which Gaming takes with nothing but grace. Gaming endears them immediately despite the want to be sus of the boy dating their baby brother

He knows he made the correct decision when telling Furina as she immediately lights up and is just about to bubble over with excitement because omg that is adorable. However, she visibly takes a moment to simmer down to not overwhelm him and just *beams* as she asks him about this penpal.

Furina and Freminet develop this casual friendship after she starts dating Arle, where she happily encourages he share stories about penguin town and helps with his engineering (she has no practical experience but her knowledge of the theory is insane).
