"Every person should have something that they believe in and hold on to from beginning to end. Otherwise, it's easy to succumb to the vicissitudes of life and find yourself being led astray."
PORTRAYAL / NOTES:
GENERAL:
◈ Character exploration of Genshin Impact's Alhaitham. He will take cues from all interpretations, with precedence to CN and ENG Alhaitham. Neutrality is his prerogative, though some may say otherwise. Priority to mutuals. Low activity, extremely busy. Much more open to interactions on my multi-character blog (once I clean it up), but I understand if you may be more hesitant to interact there.
LORE CONTINUITY:
◇ (As of 03.06.2026) Will be caught up with all updates soon.
INTERACTIONS:
◆ I will be opening Alhaitham to interactions soon. Until then, hold tight.
Currently, interactions will be limited to mutuals, with exclusivity towards some portrayals upon request.
exclusives: sara's kaveh
◆ OOC interactions will appear sardonic in nature. I, Annie, am much friendlier than Alhaitham, but some character immersion may cause my OOC comments on this blog to be more curt than usual.
FORMATTING:
◈ Small text, full capitalization and grammar. No preference for my partner's formatting. Color hexcode is: 339999
BOUNDARIES:
◇ I have no personal trigger warnings. Happy to tag anything that may cause you discomfort; will not deny nor question you at all if you need anything tagged. Tag will be 'cw: name of trigger.'
◇ It is nothing personal if I do not follow back. I am sure you are a genuinely nice person. I simply prefer to curate my space so there are less OOC posts and generally less NSFW posts, if possible.
SHIPPING:
◆ With OOC comfort. Single ship. No pretenses here— I'm sure it's pretty obvious, so I will not waste your time and will instead waste all of Kaveh's.
enough vague posting about soup on the dash, alhaitham.
your condescension highlights two things: first, that you appear unfamiliar with the concept of a 'napkin,' which is astonishing in and of itself. an esteemed linguist such as yourself surely knows that the term was coined in the 14th century, derived from the late middle english nappekin, from old french nappe (tablecloth, from latin mappa), with the suffix -kin. yet, both the material object and the concept it describes have existed long before the word you and i know today. even the ancients—according to some historians, the greeks included—were using “napkins” in the form of bread, thus highlighting the human instinct to find a means to wipe one’s hands accordingly. an instinct that has evidently eluded you in the rungs of human evolution.
i suppose that in claiming soup is the inferior food, you also fail to consider its socioeconomic impact—that it has been a staple among the poor for thousands of years. a versatile dish, soup can transform even the humblest of ingredients into a meal that provides necessary nutrients and is able to feed large groups at once. this is nothing to jeer at, particularly in light of alarming statistics showing that food insecurity remains a pressing issue.
do you even know where you would be without soup? the modern restaurant industry was born because of soup. i suppose you haven't read about the pioneer behind it, who went so far as to challenge the monopoly of a local guild’s sale of cooked foods when brought to trial—and won. yes, that's right: in the 1700s, a man by the name of boulanger created the modern concept of a restaurant, where one could sit down and order a meal cooked on the premises. consider this the next time your indolence refuses to pick up a pan in the kitchen and instead takes you to lambad's tavern to enjoy a meal. you claim it difficult to eat soup-like dishes while reading; i claim it difficult to digest your justification of poor taste.
"Vague posting" denotes that I was indistinct and ambiguous with my otherwise transparent discernment. Your inability to descry a neutral statement because you are beguiled by your own temperament wastes my precious time and casts a poor light on how you spend your own. Over-resourcing has shackled you to oversight, and what could have ended in my objective discrimination has augmented into subjective distaste.
Attempt to read me in bad faith in sixty-five words or less, next time. Then, perhaps you could digest your own words instead of spewing it below your ankles.
