Please Someone Make More Fanfics About Sua And Till's Friendship PLEASE. I Need It Like I Need Water.

Sometimes, I think about how much Alhaitham's entire adult life has been shaped by Kaveh and I just... have to sit down for a second.

Kaveh was Alhaitham's first, and, as far as we've been told, only friend until recently. At the very least, Kaveh was likely his only close friend throughout Alhaitham's entire schooling years, from teens into adulthood.

Alhaitham lives in the house he received for his work with Kaveh. The house Alhaitham lives in wouldn't even exist without Kaveh.

Alhaitham's ideology and behavior have been shaped by his diametric opposition to Kaveh's perspectives. He acts and thinks the way he does in part because of how their debating over years shaped how Alhaitham sees the world.

He's become an active part of a friend group almost entirely because of Kaveh. Alhaitham's story quest says that he didn't become particularly friendly with the rest of Sumeru's saviors even after they saved the archon, but now we see him hanging out with Cyno and Tighnari all the time because Kaveh was friends with them first and eased the way.

He even drinks a particular brand of coffee because he and Kaveh picked it together.

If you removed all trace of Kaveh from Alhaitham's life, virtually nothing would be the same. He wouldn't live where he does now. His house wouldn't look like it does inside at all. He very likely wouldn't have a single close friend. His ideology would probably be significantly more pragmatic and cold. Literally the only thing in Alhaitham's current life that hasn't been shaped in some way by Kaveh is Alhaitham's job. Which is... probably why work is Alhaitham's least favorite aspect of life.

Meanwhile, Kaveh is honest to archons over here wondering "What does Alhaitham even think about me?"

I don't know, buddy, probably that you're his whole world?

I love non-sexual intimacy. Just holding someone? Sign me up. Oh you're sad? I'll hug you until you feel better. Oh you crave comfort? Then I'll be here. You just want my touch? Well of course! Just holding people and making them feel happy is SSOOSOSOSO

It's so nice being on tumblr because you don't even have to make your own post but people would still follow you anyways if you're good at rebloging posts they like

(Spoiler) TL1 Debutante

In the prologue chapters, Lari described that she might have been cute as a child, wearing ribbons, flower decorations, and girlish accessories (like now actually), when her hair got long and she became an adult, she stopped all that to act the role of a proper noble lady from House Belois. As an adult, she considered herself the furthest away from a pretty person - she had unremarkable features with pale, washed out light brown hair and eyes (compared to the rich dark brown characteristic of House Belois), and constantly had a serious expression on her face, and held proper posture at all times. Her expressions were easily displayed on her face, and thus her irritable nature was obvious for everyone to see. Under the watchful eye of her father, she never wore accessories and only dressed herself up simply with plain brown/dark colored dresses. Thus, Lari considered herself unremarkable in EVERY aspect: intelligence, beauty, character, appearance, fashion, even facial expressions.

It didn't help that at 15, she expected a lot of marriage proposals to start coming in for her, but they never did, even when she was 18, she never had a proper offer of marriage. It didn't make sense - as a daughter of a Count, just by having a title should make her desirable, even if she's not pretty or have a good personality, right? Even so, she was VERY excited for her debutante at 16 years old alongside Riche. This will be her first visit to the palace, and she can meet all the Capital Nobles - she was so excited at this opportunity! Her father didn't want to sponsor her, so she asked Aunt Amelia to because she had no one else to ask, and SHE REALLY WANTED TO DEBUT! Unfortunately, Aunt Amelia showed her the same care and consideration as in TL2 - which is she didn't care about Lari at all. She may have sponsored Lari under "House Belois", but it was utterly a disaster. Lari didn't know what it took to prepare for her own social debut, she didn't know the proper attire for it, she's never been to a ball before.. and thus.. the results were extremely disastrous. She was one of the main characters as a girl who debuted that day, but she appeared in one of her regular brown dresses - she even considered it shabby and worn out compared to the others - and she felt the sympathetic gazes of the girls and many ridiculing comments from others. She was left as a lonely wallflower who didn't socialize and dance with anyone, and no one offered to dance with her. It was utterly embarrassing. One person, Crown Prince Rupert, had introduced himself to her (Ch 6), and she was excited - but - she later realized he had known who she was, and just wanted to meet "Lariette of House Belois", and not "Lariette who just turned of age today". Even the Crown Prince had no interest in her as a person.

When she came back home from the TL1 debutante, it was VERY damaging to her self-esteem. She was convinced that no one would ever love her, she's failed as a lady of House Belois because she could never get married and have her own family. Even though she enjoyed reading romance novels, she concluded that it wouldn’t ever happen to her, and she didn’t want to dream of it anymore :(. But at least she has her beloved family who can take care of her, and she'll always be under her father's careful supervision to make sure she's safe, so that's ok, right?

In TL2, we see the trauma persisting - she didn’t bat an eye when Rupert called her fat/ugly at the start (because she really thought she was), she didn’t question it when he said she looked dumb so she was great for spying on the merchants (while he actually thought she would be a good choice because she was cute and the merchants would lower their guard around her).

During Rupert's crown Prince coronation event in Ch 76, Lari is very confident that no one will ask her to dance, and was fine with being in the background and not joining in the festivities. During the debutante arc starting in Ch 99, Lari's repeatedly said that she doesn't want one, she's scared of participating in it this year... and it gets to the point where Elaine and Rupert have to convince her to participate (they've been at it for 3 months!). She denied having House Belois and Aunt Amelia help out (they didn't offer anways), but she couldn't say no when Rupert himself offered to sponsor her. She finally opens up and admits to Rupert in the library that she's scared to attend, because what if no one invites her to dance? then it'll be a super embarrassing, shameful memory. But of course, Rupert tells her that if that happens, then she'll just have to dance with him then. ;)

Annabeth: What's the most polite way to phrase "you fucked up big time and need to fix this now or else" in a professional email?

Percy: "Hello, I hope this email finds you before I do"

Real talk though why is finding people who ship straight ships in the genshin fandom like trying to find a needle in a hay stack

Character analyses' are so fun to read because people have so many different thoughts about a single character and how that character has changed and will change in response to the environment and people around them.

Take Dazai Osamu for instance-there are so many different interpretations of his character and they figure all of that out from minute details in the novel/manga he's in. Like no, I wouldn't have figured out the connection between his ability to control his heartbeat and his humanity but thank you for taking the time out of your day to point that out.

Or someone from a completely different fandom, like say, a similar detective character who also goes around solving cases because they've inherited that trait from a mentor they deeply respect. MaoMao from Apothecary Diaries! There are numerous analysis' about not only her and how her past (being raised in a brothel) deeply affected her emotional regulation, but also posts about other people in the fandom and the symbolism behind every scene and visual metaphor used.

But in both fandoms, their respective members won't always agree with each other.

And it's just such a joy to see what people's thoughts are and their feelings about a character/characters/anything really that they're incredibly passionate about. Even if I don't always agree with them. It's just so nice to see for me. So this is a post for all who write analysis' on character's. You're doing gods work keep it up!!!

The hero or villain debate has always been fascinating to me because personally, I would rather love the hero. Not because of their personality or anything but because if it came down to it, and the hero would be forced to choose between me or the world, I would rather they choose the world.

Because that's the world-that is billions of people with lives separate from your own that will suffer because of that decision. Your teachers, your classmates, your animals, a grandma that finally beat cancer, a child who was finally born.

"A hero would sacrifice you to save the world-" I'm gonna stop you right there because that's all I need to hear.

While I do see the appeal in picking the villain, I think I'd rather be loved by someone kind enough to put others first before themselves, and if sacrificing me is the way to do it, I'd have lived and died happy.

Either that or I'm reading too much into a fantasy plot and giving my two cents on a topic no one really cares about.
