HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAVEH, MY SWEET BOY

I’ve been so looking forward to kaveh’s bday and it did not disappoint! We got an AQ reference which I was HOPING for in regards to him and alhaitham, ‘everything has returned to their proper place now’ YEAH I BET IT HAS, they’ve worked together to restore their house to a home :’)

Also the closing paragraph,,, are we kidding. the oil painting that he bought to put in their shared space rather than his own room all the way back in alhaitham's story quest now being returned to its 'proper place' after sumeru’s calamity,,, like their interest and lives being blended together is a constancy for them!! (Also the decorative ornament isn’t specific but it’s my headcanon this is the wooden statue that alhaitham bought and kaveh called boring lmaoooo)

'it’s hard not to feel something’, why kaveh because you feel a sense of permanency in a place you thought you didn’t belong? Because you have contributed to make that very place somewhere you CAN belong, and that this place is somewhere you now consider a HOME? Also I’m weak, wdym time has a form but it remains formless? the décor of the house feeling like home also ties into the mellowing of alhaitham and kaveh’s relationship, so over time it has improved in ways that even kaveh can’t identify, and it’s now a constant part of his life just like these ornaments that make up aspects of his home, because alhaitham is an integral part of what ‘home’ is to him IM SICK

#haikaveh #kavetham #alhaitham #kaveh #genshin impact #how is it 2026 and kaveh is only around 20% of the way realising that alhaitham wants him there #IT'S SLOW BURN THAT'S WHY #also i'm so glad that the AQ was referenced and we know that their house is back to normal now #that way they can move onto the next thing in any upcoming sumeru event i'm guessing #and with that we can see maybe how alhaitham's more forthcoming ways of helping kaveh are being perceived #but ANYWAYS happy birthday my baby boy the worm that lives in my head #he's so nostalgic on his birthday like in his bday voice over he thinks about his family and here he is thinking about home #okay okay okay im normal

snippets from within these walls (found and found again)

Synopsis:

“Alhaitham,” Kaveh said. That they both were looking at the re-framed painting on the wall should have been reassuring. “Did you hang this back up?” “I did.” Kaveh stared at Alhaitham. It had been Alhaitham who had said it, definitively, but it would have made more sense if he had remained silent. “You’re being…” He was only stared at, probed into. He had an encompassing awareness that even if he didn’t say it, Alhaitham would know anyway. “Strange.” “How so?” “You know perfectly well. First with the paint box, then the cleaning, and now with this. It’s like you’re going out of your way to be amicable.” “It was my impression I was being forthcoming.” “Then, what, I’m to believe you actually want to help me out?” Alhaitham just looked back at him. A discomfort leeched at Kaveh’s skin. What was Alhaitham seeing? “Is that so bad?” (After saving Sumeru, Kaveh faces the destruction of another home, and Alhaitham helps him pick up the pieces.)

#haikaveh #kavetham #alhaitham #kaveh #genshin impact #obligatory THERE WAS ONLY ONE BED trope yes yes #also kaveh is going through it #IF ONLY SOMEONE WAS THERE CONSTANTLY TO SUPPORT HIM HMMMM #i finally finished this and now i'm free #time to go back to my other ongoing haikaveh fics whoops

im sorry in advance i just left 4 consecutive comments on ur newest fic.. u simply inspire essays in me

THAT WAS YOU????? i've been reading your comments over and over like scripture!! thank you so much for taking the time not only to read but to leave such deliciously in-depth analysis, i so love hearing your thoughts! :''') i've been swamped but am going to find time to do justice to your work and reply!!! <333333333

THE QUEST IS WILDDDD. GAYMERU, YOU REMAIN TO BE THE PEAKEST NATION!!!

Posting this ask to ask YOU, my favorite essayist, a penny for your thoughts on the Haikaveh convo beneath the stars and in the epilogue!!! Cause honestly, I was screaming internally when I saw Kaveh QUOTING ALHAITHAM'S LINE FROM APOP!!!!

What are your thoughts on these two working together on a project that seemingly parallels their thesis? Will Haikaveh finally put a ring on it?? What do you think about the translation of the cn dialogue in the epilogue??? Will there also be an update to your thiccc essay on Haikaveh's queercoding????

No pressure with answering. I hope you are enjoying the hell out of the new quest!!!!

Hiya!! thanks so much for your ask!! Gaymeru has summoned us for a feast fr!!!!

i've been blogging since the AQ dropped, there was so much content to unpack!! i've made a post about the haikaveh rooftop scene beneath the stars here, the haikaveh epilogue scene here (including notes about the CN version), and my thoughts about the gap in the narrative regarding haikaveh's thesis here! i also made a summation post of my thoughts on hkvh overall in this event bearing in mind the motif of change, specifically how kaveh's thinking that 'some people don't change' relates to kaveh and alhaitham <3

overall, the changes to haikaveh's relationship since a parade of providence are palpable! their treatment of each other in every event proceeding highlights that with the way they communicate more smoothly and how kaveh goes out of his way to seek alhaitham. the AQ provides kaveh's perception on these improvements (being that, to him, nothing has been sorted out lmao) and suggests reasons for this given him still perceiving his and alhaitham's relationship as transactional, and yet, at the end of the world, he chooses to seek out alhaitham and relies on him for consolidation regarding the weight of the task they're taking on together

the epilogue scene imo drives home alhaitham's shift in transparency, where he's openly sincere regarding his thoughts and motivations around his treatment of kaveh, and that he wants to be an active part in the restoration of their house along with their relationship. while kaveh's first instinct is to interpret this maliciously, he's unable to properly ascribe alhaitham's helpful actions to an ulterior motive. to me, this is telling of the set-up for their future arc where they both work towards the restoration of their relationship, only for it to be stronger and more stable than their original friendship!

as for my essay it's much in need of an update lmaooo, thankfully i managed to recover some of my edits on my old laptop! life has been so hectic for me and i'm having to take long hiatuses online, but it's definitely in my mind to delve back into my old passion project and reboot it! there also comes the issue of how long it's going to end up being considering future sumeru events lmaooo but i'll have to tackle that when it comes to it!

i'm hoping to have a one-shot (pleading with myself to stick to this before it gets too long) based on the haikaveh epilogue scene up at some point before life gets to me again!

thank you so much for your ask! i've really enjoyed this event and all the insightful conversations it's brought about!! here's to future events! let's hope that haikaveh continues on their profound, meaningful journey together <3

#haikaveh #kavetham #alhaitham #kaveh #genshin impact

hi yes you know why im here

let me use my literature degree to overanalyze the moment kaveh admits that he cannot let go of anguish and struggles to embrace alhaitham's calmer nature because he relies on that pain

of course this relates to his entire outlook on his life, and his personality as a whole-

but it also makes me think about how he has to twist anything good and kind alhaitham says around. how he cannot handle straightforward compliments or kindness and has to suffer first. how there is "ZERO" chance they will ever get over their differences... because what if they did? what if there was no friction left? would that scare you, kaveh? would that go against how you believe your life must be lived???

Hiya! Thank you for crushing my HEART, wdym “what if there was no friction left? would that scare you, kaveh? would that go against how you believe your life must be lived”????????

Viewing ‘anguish’ through kaveh’s perspective on himself as a person not just an artist is so !?!? because anguish has essentially become part of his disposition? He’s naturally a sensitive person, but whether it be because of his grief or because of who he really is, or these both combined, he feels it’s only right for him to take on the burdens of others since he prioritises their feelings above his own, for him to reverse this mindset would be unthinkable for him right since no matter what he’s tried, he can’t walk away from other people’s pain!

It’s only in his relationship with alhaitham is there a clear discrepancy in how he treats alhaitham vs others; he initiates bickering and arguments since he believes that’s the basis of their relationship now where they once were so close. The idea that kaveh believing suffering of any kind is natural and deserving couples into his relationship with alhaitham is so !!!??!!! of course it has to hurt to live with alhaitham now; it’s a trick of fate that they’re stuck together again after having brought out the worst in each other. He’s reminded of a friend that hurt him and who he, maybe, hurt in turn and pushed away, and now there’re no means for reconciliation. They understand each other too well for them to ever make amends since they differ irrevocably in every way so ofc there’s zero chance for that… but now alhaitham is saying he’s happy for kaveh, and helping kaveh with seemingly no ulterior motive, and kaveh is thrown off

Because of his perceptions, there’s no reason for him or alhaitham to change; even if he tried to, it would do nothing to change alhaitham’s treatment of him, so this stasis has become their normalcy. They can work dependably together, gossip over fruit and wine, shop together, build a home together, but for kaveh, ultimately nothing fundamentally has altered since ‘people can’t change’, so they bicker and misconstrue each other, and in this, kaveh becomes offended and believes alhaitham wants to belittle him and he also gets upset that he and alhaitham differ so much, like in his contention with their respective approach to sentimentality

Then when alhaitham says things like he’s happy for kaveh in his justification of himself, and doubles down, kaveh has no basis to believe this, yet he can’t seem to claim that alhaitham is lying so he deflects – what is alhaitham’s motive? And why is alhaitham helping him with fixing their home? What does alhaitham gain from him being here?

#haikaveh #kavetham #alhaitham #kaveh #genshin impact #thank you so much for your juicy brain thoughts because this has been marinating in MY brain #there's so much to explore with kaveh's character like his relationship with grief and his approach to art #as an artist and also his unresolved grief with his mother #kaveh and alhaitham are so intwined at this point that i think it would make sense for any progress between them might #have a knock on effect on kaveh's outlook #i really appreciated in the epilogue where kaveh says that suffering is the cradle of creation for an artist and alhaitham #says that he isn't disagreeing with that like kaveh thinks because this goes all the way back to their bulletin boards #where alhaitham says that nothing can be created without the incentive of commercial exchange #i just think it's interesting the ways that kaveh influences alhaitham and so i'm curious how they'll show alhaitham's influence on kaveh #thank you for your ask because the word document is OPEN and hkvh epilogue scene fic is being written <3

Btw, have you heard True Blue by boygenius? Because that song is beat for beat Alhaitham and Kaveh's story and I am clawing at the walls (especially with hoyo recently confirming that Haitham's love is, in fact, tried and true blue)

hiya!! thanks so much for the song rec?? currently picking up the pieces of my heart after you smashed it on the ground LMAOOOOO <3333

wdymmmm that only they know each so well that they hurt each other in places no one else can reach but they turn to each other because of this very reason, that they're understood without having to try or pretend because they have that innate comprehension of each other???

NOOOOO why is this their exact conversation in a parade of providence, where they've moved past who's right and who's wrong because the issue they're facing is a more personal and intimate, the opposition of their philosophies pales in comparison to the personal regard they have for each other oh i'm ILL

i am waiting for the day where kaveh feels this comfortably about the knowledge alhaitham has of him :')

alhaitham's love is TRIED AND TRUE BLUE!!!! i'm in tatters thank you <33333333

#haikaveh #kavetham #alhaitham #kaveh #genshin impact #all roads lead back to hkvh #i cant listen to a song and NOT think about them

I think it's so interesting that hkvh's fallout / relationship gets called out more and more. First it was during the event with the fallout callback, and now it's the archon quest. While we actually see it progress, especially Alhaitham becoming more openly fond towards Kaveh, it feels like Hoyo is really setting up a conclusion to their story sooner or later, or is it just me? This may have been Sumerus last Archon quest, but Hoyo makes me believe that we'll be getting more hkvh lore, otherwise why make Tighnari mention the state of their relationship? Anyway, I LOVE THESE TWO and really hope we'll get to see their big fallout one day. Glad to see you're back!

Hiya! Thanks so much for your ask! I absolutely live off of the crumbs of haikaveh relationship mention, like in cyno’s second story quest where he seems genuinely shocked that kaveh and alhaitham would be studying together again, the divorce mention in ruins exploration and alhaitham’s switch-up (showing their falling out affected alhaitham just as much as it did kaveh), and now with tighnari saying that he believed kaveh and alhaitham had sorted things out and that he wouldn’t otherwise dare to try and mediate their ‘conflicts’ lmao

Tighnari drawing attention to the fact that he thought kaveh and alhaitham had worked out their issues is so interesting to me since it can serve to highlight the external perception of haikaveh’s relationship and what kaveh himself perceives. since a parade of providence, we as players have seen some kind of softening to their relationship, like in cyno’s second story quest when we got a glimpse into their domestic homelife and how receptive they were to listening to each other, and subsequently in every event following where kaveh can be seen to pursue alhaitham rather than go out of his way to avoid him like otherwise seen in alhaitham’s character story and his hangout

Up till now, this development hasn’t been mentioned explicitly by anyone (maybe besides the vendor in ruins exploration who thought that kaveh and alhaitham were ‘eating’ together and that he usually doesn’t get ‘these things’ wrong lmaooooo), so I assumed that it was going to stay inferable until I was surprised in the AQ!

#haikaveh #kavetham #alhaitham #kaveh #genshin impact #the divorce mention in ruins exploration and the zoom in to alhaitham's reaction hasn't left me #and it's been MONTHS #and with how transparent alhaitham is as compared to when his motivations were more inferable and how kaveh can't conclude #that alhaitham is helping him as a bribe or with nefarious intentions #i'm so curious to see how this involves since it's a great set-up for the next arc of their relationship #imagine how even more insufferable they'll be when they've actually worked through their issues....

Do u think their thesis was haunting them

Hiya! Thank you for your ask, lmaoooo their thesis better have been haunting them as much as it was haunting me

Alhaitham and kaveh’s thesis around the runes and architectural styles of king deshret’s era ultimately stalled when kaveh ripped it up, renouncing his and alhaitham’s friendship, and alhaitham subsequently removed his name from the project, but even though it wasn’t completed, it had already helped people in the desert when it came to load bearing and it was fruitful enough that the Akademiya gifted them a building to continue researching

This shows the good that can come when they unite their opposing perspectives, which is something that kaveh once recognised too as he writes in his old sketchbook, but there’s a gap in the narrative here since their thesis was abandoned and yet they both live in the building that was initially gifted to the both of them! Also, kaveh’s character stories detail that his and alhaitham’s views and their way of going about life belong on opposite sides of the mirror while alhaitham believes that uniting these views provides a complete perspective. The rift in their relationship asks, can they ever unite on the same front again?

In cyno’s second story quest I really appreciated how it seemed like there was an inversion of them working together in their original thesis, with kaveh memorising the temple of silence’s symbol and alhaitham identifying it due to the architectural signets, additionally with how seamlessly they fell into working together with little to no bickering? Especially when they were studying together in the house of daena, the place they first met, which is commented on by cyno, seemingly because it was previously implausible lmao, them working together here is a step in the right direction; it highlights even further the good that can come from them joining together their mirroring fields of interest and ways of doing things and working in tandem

So in the latest AQ I was !!!! that they were working together in a way that explicitly linked to king deshret’s era, using both ancient mechanisms and language which turned out to be inextricable in figuring out a way to save sumeru

#haikaveh #kavetham #alhaitham #kaveh #genshin impact #oh haikaveh thesis the impact you have #especially with kaveh's reference to it in apop and how kaveh references the note alhaitham wrote in the script that he and kaveh learnt #specifically FOR their thesis in the new AQ #i'm definitely hoping that to come up again with reference to the second line regarding the idealist's happiness #this quest really proved that despite kaveh's assertions they work together seamlessly like it's highlighted they are the greatest minds in #their respective subject areas and they were the ones leading the project this time and were given the divine sight to use ancient deshret #technology so the potentialities to explore in future events are pretty significant imo!!#i think it's pretty indicative that they were working so closely together once more and kaveh found this stressful yet the one person he #sought when he was pressurised by the weight of the task was alhaitham and he stayed with alhaitham the whole night until morning #they were asked by nahida and naphis to work together once more but that was a moment of choice and kaveh made it at the end of the world s #they could have a conversation? things have changed so much since their last time working together and then since apop #kaveh recognising this eventually in any regard will rupture all my blood vessels

hi hello ive been so so thrilled by the recent hkv analysis... ur mind is as always beautiful...... as a thank u gift : black hole fantasy by the crane wives feels like a very haikaveh song i think u would like it probably ^u^

hiya! thanks so much for your ask, i'm glad you're enjoying my posts about our resident losers hehe also thank you for your gift??? this is so haikaveh coded are we kidding

this from kaveh's pov is heart-wrenching, his hesitation in believing he has a rightful place in alhaitham's life even though alhaitham's life is enhanced with kaveh by his side, so much so that he's ready to be turned out at any moment

beyond this, i love this idea of kaveh facing himself too, what will happen when he opens that door? he's afraid of believing he has the right to be happy, so what if he reversing that notion and believing he does have the right turns out to be wrong? what would be left for him?

kaveh longing for a version of himself that allows himself to be happy but he denies himself this longing so that he can't even recognise he has it??? NOOOO

and then him finally facing that hurdle and realising that alhaitham was waiting for him if kaveh wanted to face it? that they are of equal importance to each other and that his happiness is what both himself AND alhaitham wants, oh okay,,,

yeah this scratched my brain in all the right ways, thanks so much!!!

'i just think some people never change' - new archon quest haikaveh analysis

There’s this motif within alhaitham and kaveh’s relationship and its resurgence in the newest archon quest is really interesting, specifically how it’s incredibly relevant to kaveh and how he perceives both himself and his and alhaitham’s current position

Going back to the beginning of alhaitham and kaveh’s friendship to analyse this idea, we can see that kaveh views their friendship as positive despite their contradicting views since he believed that their opposing beliefs were a strength of their bond, saying this produced more discussion and introspection as to the world around them

yet the tension in their friendship arose when they started collaborating with other people during their thesis project, and it became clear how different they were in their approach to talent and also in how they go about communicating with other people

their argument came about as kaveh believed that alhaitham didn’t do enough to fit in, and was therefore at risk of ostracising himself, something he perceived as negative due to his want to belong to the collective, which alhaitham retorted with saying that kaveh goes out of his way to accommodate to others regardless if it’s futile, not because of his altruism but because of the guilt in his perceived involvement of his father’s passing

this remark is the catalyst for kaveh tearing up their thesis and saying he regretted befriending alhaitham (I talk more here about how it’s their differences in communication which ultimately prevailed over differences in philosophy)

Kaveh notes in that moment that there was nothing he could do to change alhaitham, and nothing alhaitham could do to change him, and this immovability was ultimately the breaking point of their relationship. from this point, kaveh views their differences as no longer beneficial and can only cause harm

They go years without speaking, and whenever they do interact through journals, it’s criticising the other’s perspective, so to kaveh, alhaitham remains rigid and unchanging in spite of losing the other as a friend, and in this comes this perception of alhaitham not needing him; since kaveh believes alhaitham refutes his philosophies and kaveh’s reason for pursuing altruism, there can’t be anything else he can offer alhaitham save for philosophical debate, and this permeates into every aspect of their relationship post-akademiya

When they reunite at the tavern after kaveh becomes homeless, he confides everything to alhaitham since he believes he’s already hit rock bottom, and then when alhaitham takes him in as a housemate, kaveh questions why alhaitham would do this since surely he can’t offer anything in return? Because of this, he’s compelled to offer to take on the chores and domestic errands as compensation besides paying rent

I find it so !!! that in this state of uncertainty, kaveh having sold his family’s old home and being homeless, then being taken in by someone he believed held him in disdain, there’s some sombre comfort in the line “the most unshakable part of one's past is a friend that will never change”, like alhaitham’s contrariness, or alhaitham always being there even when it’s kaveh worst nightmare, is at least a constant kaveh can rely on

This idea of not being able to change relates to kaveh and we can see this in his hangout when he talks about his staunch hold on his beliefs in that through the collective, good can be achieved for all (even if it’s at the cost of himself) regardless of the reason why he pursues this, be it because of his guilt or because he genuinely believes it, or both

#haikaveh #kavetham #alhaitham #kaveh #genshin impact #yeah this quest was a wild ride with everything in sumeru coming together #and haikaveh's relationship in contrast seemed more stagnant to me especially when looking back on all the events which #highlighted the improvement in their dynamic so i've been interested in why exactly this is!#surrounded by gods and legends of old haikaveh's relationship just feels so human #like their lives are so short but change seems impossible all at once so it's the small things which add up to the difference #alhaitham is so transparent in the quest imo like he expresses his sentiment for kaveh looking out for him and gives unconditional support #he knows exactly what to say to influence kaveh in the right way since they know each so well for better or for worse #and kaveh has such a thorough grasp on alhaitham like in how he had to translate alhaitham's meaning to the pillars of deshret who got #offended at how blunt he was lmaoooo but even with this understanding there're too many years of misconception that can't be #turned around in just an instant! even though it feels so long since a parade of providence and in-game a considerable amount of time has #passed too alhaitham and kaveh have made steady slow progression as humans do!! and now we have explicit confirmation that they're #going to start taking steps forward even more that they both want to make amends and benefit the other #haikaveh really is in your face and subtle all at the same time they make so ill but i cant get enough...?#bets are open for the next sumeru quest WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT #haikaveh are the ultimate slowburn hear hear

Hi I think you’re really cool and I love your analyses on these gay idiots. Honestly I’d love to be friends and yap together ahhhhhhh

hiya! thanks for your ask! i'm so glad you like my brainrot, these two form a new line on my brain every day i swear so i'm happy it's not just me trapped in hkvh hell <3 pls yap to me anytime!! i'd love to be friends :') <333333

#haikaveh #kavetham

the haikaveh ending scene - 'home'

Alhaitham and kaveh’s final scene in the archon quest,,, oh boy

Kaveh being upset that the house is destroyed and holding that, as the owner of the house, alhaitham should be rightfully upset, and that he’s essentially just a ‘helper’ in this situation, which alhaitham calls out since it’s THEIR possessions that are affected, it’s THEIR home! The divide that kaveh puts between them, with him as a tenant and alhaitham as the home owner, and the way that alhaitham instantly elevates them to both sharing the responsibility to be equal…. yeah

#haikaveh #kavetham #alhaitham #kaveh #genshin impact #they're addressing each other's needs more and more #It’s almost as if their house is and always has been a metaphor for their relationship....#alhaitham's transparency about his happiness for kaveh is eating me alive like wdym #we used to have to infer this from his actions and what he DIDN'T say and now he's like THIS #we've come far from a parade of providence like no wonder kaveh was expecting some kind of drawback to this compliment #and kaveh's visceral reaction to alhaitham asking if kaveh wanted him to put the box in his room for him like SHUTTTT #he was genuinely taken aback he couldnt believe it wdym the detached and pragmatic alhaitham is doing something for me with no benefit??#WAKE UP!!!!!! HE WANTS NOTHING BUT YOUR HAPPINESS!!#guys the knowledge that they're working towards that point is eating my bones #i love you haikaveh haikaveh the ship you are #longer post going through haikaveh this event is upcoming <3 #ALSO THANKS FOR YOUR ASKS I PROMISE ILL GET TO THEM

that rooftop scene,,,,

Kaveh going to find alhaitham at the end of the day when preparations are complete means a lot to me, like wdym he's nervous so he goes and seeks alhaitham, someone who he just said he would never sort out his issues with?? even worse that he wants to check in on alhaitham and make sure that alhaitham isn't nervous too

#haikaveh #kavetham #alhaitham #kaveh #genshin impact #this scene means so much to me and i think it's so telling as to where they are #yeah they might argue over their misconceptions but they're able to have this conversation after working TOGETHER #i don't think they would have been able to work together this well in the first archon quest #when kaveh just trying to have a conversation with alhaitham turns into an argument lmaoooo #it's such a tender conversation all around isnt it? alhaitham is attentive to kaveh's needs and kaveh to alhaitham's #they're always looking out for each other regardless of what happens or how they're feeling #they're both equally stubborn in that regard lmaoooo #bro i love them can you tell

I am absolutely eating up your breakdowns of the AQ, sending you this ask so I don't bung up your notifs with replies etc. Keep up the good work my fellow hkvthm soldier.

hiya!! thanks so much for your ask :') i'm so glad you're enjoying my brainrot, haikaveh really came back with a VENGEANCE huh??? lmaoooo pls don't worry about spamming, i love screaming with other people about these two losers <3333333

#haikaveh #kavetham

As an autistic person and reading Al-Haitham as an autistic person (please it’s so OBVIOUS) I can imagine he can be very literal about some things hence the bluntness. But I can see it causing miscommunication between Kaveh and Al-Haitham.

Al-Haitham saying something too literal and Kaveh’s reactive personality. Glad they’re working on that

hiya!! thank you for your ask <3 autistic alhaitham is so canon you're so right anon!!

the dichotomy in alhaitham and kaveh's communication style, how they voice their thoughts and feelings, is so interesting, especially when comparing it to their respective philosophies, it's no wonder they clash in this way, but they've definitely had progress since a parade of providence and of COURSE this is explored further in the recent AQ!!

i have a long upcoming post about this where i tried to get my thoughts in order, if you're interested i should have it up soon!

The key to the trial being that alhaitham and kaveh have to work with each other by ensuring they reach the end together otherwise it goes against the rules… like okay :DDD

kaveh and alhaitham are designed as functioning opposites that make up a whole picture, their philosophies and respective fields of study are on opposite sides of the mirror, but each side of the mirror is integral to the other side, like the black and white of the chess board

the idea of their movements in this chess game is so interesting, like they're on different paths that can't correlate but their destination is the same, and victory is only gained by reaching the end together. them working in tandem rather than opposition is achieving wisdom rather than operating in the bounds of knowledge; who's in the right doesn't matter so long as they're able to unite on a mutual front!!

#haikaveh #kavetham #alhaitham #kaveh #genshin impact #also alhaitham saying 'it's a strange time to be sleeping' and kaveh saying that he's not SLEEPING he's THINKING lmaoooo i love them #but yeah i'm sick of haikaveh and metaphors #this and the house/home metaphor yeah i need a bucket #WE GET IT HOYO THEY ARE A UNIT!! YOU DESIGNED THEM AS A PAIR!!!!#IT'S THE WRONG PATH FOR THEM TO SEPARATE!!!#the trial can only be passed once both alhaitham and kaveh reach the end yeah okay
