the Arun/Arjun thing is ridiculous I can't get over how showmand's birth name is like one letter off from the name of the vampire Marius extrajudicially murdered for being brown mean in Blood Communion, on top of Rashid also being the name of a kid that Marius killed in Blood and Gold. like what if your father symbolically killed you over and over again in earlier versions of your narrative echoing back through time, in addition to the time he actually killed you in canon proper. crazy.
