I kinda like the idea of Furina’s curious nature leading her to the Akademiya and, eventually, to Faruzan. Faruzan’s dilemma is that she struggles to find students because her field is seen as niche and impractical while Furina canonically feels interested in learning all kinds of things, regardless of practicality.

Ayatitto (submitted 3 times):

ok so I'm kinda coming at this from a queerplatonic angle but hear me out. They're Bros. they hang out together regularly and play games. now Ayato is a very busy, stifled, emotionally repressed, and kind of sadistic person. so why on EARTH would be hang out with Itto to just play games? he doesn't even like, torment him or anything. HENCE!! this is where I posit that Ayato ENJOYS spending time with itto because he ENVIES him, he envies how carefree and happy and playful and ignorant he is, he envies how he can just...be. and when Ayato is with Itto, he gets to feel a bit of that too. he's not the head of the kamisato clan, he's not an important figure in the tri-commission, he's just My Bro Ayato. it gives him the relief to just exist. itto on the other hand experiences so many hardships, people harass and attack him just for existing in a way that is obviously queer (in race, in neurotype, in orientation....(though i HC him aroace)). he's relieved just to have a non-child companion who seems to respect him and play with him and hang around him for who he is, not for who the law wants him to be. i posit that, similar to how Ayato feels accepted in a way that lets him shed his family crest and weight of responsibility by Itto, itto feels accepted in a way that lets him wear his horns with pride. because itto's unabashed ADHD and oni heritage and love for his hobbies is exactly what is ATTRACTIVE about him to Ayato in the first place. there are only like 200 fics for these guys on AO3 the last time I checked. i feel so strongly about them. does anyone see my vision. please

i just think their dynamic is neat! rather than balancing each other out, they just feed into each other's personal form of chaos and yknow what. Good For Them

Furifaru:

@faruna opened my eyes to this ship. They've both spent years trapped and isolated. Both of them struggle to fit in with people, both are pretty dramatic. And Furina spent years investigating all sorts of things. She's definitely smart enough for Faruzan to talk to about her research. Faruzan finds understanding in someone who isn't fighting for their own Akademiya research grant, and Furina finds understanding in someone who shows her how to be yourself openly, instead of pretending.

I am having focalors x faruzan thoughts

[faruna]

A quick little comic, I wanted combine a few furifaru thoughts I had:

1) Faruzan never really acknowledges the emotional ramifications of losing her family and friends. I imagine when words fail her, she somehow resorts to puzzles

2) An aspect of Furina’s backstory that always interested me: she watched over generations of families and met with each one but she wasn’t really raised in a family herself. But now, without the role of an all-knowing archon, she’d be free to just listen and ask questions and react as she pleases.

Anyway, that letter from Faruzan’s story quest annihilated me and I’ll never recover :)

Tales Of Shahryar is such an amazing furifaru fic! I couldn’t decide what to draw from it because I love every scene, please go read it!!
