#Exchange Board

A company first makes its particular stocks available through an initial Public Offering (IPO). Businesses transition from being ‘private’ to ‘public’ in this manner. In other words, a previously privately held business after the Initial Public Offering turns into a publicly traded business. A stock exchange gives you, as an investor, direct access to the company’s shares. By purchasing these shares, you join the company’s shareholder base.

I'm rewatching leverage out of nostalgia and some other emotion I haven't figured out yet, and I do think there's a story in "Maggie Ford Collins deals with having the most unhinged ex in her suburban book group, learns to hotwire a car, and gets her groove back, not in that particular order."

Kaveh and Alhaitham, Sumeru Bulletin Board (over)Analysis: Part 2

(This is a reworked excerpt taken from my Haikaveh essay! If you're interested you can check it out here or as a pdf <3)

In Kaveh and Alhaitham's discourse on the discussion board of Puspa's Café, the two disagree over the subjective value of art. This topic is of particular significance to Kaveh, as it is a key element of his character design in respect of his career as an architect, being an artist himself, as well as it being highlighted within his Hangout. This is one of the few instances we receive of Alhaitham and Kaveh discussing the arts with each other to such an extent, so it is interesting to gauge Alhaitham's viewpoint.

Alhaitham holds a pragmatic view of art as a recourse, aligning it with any other material good to be produced, whereas Kaveh's viewpoint aligns with his sensibility, in that it is the meaning of art that trumps its material price and market demand. This makes sense considering their mirroring perspectives, in which Kaveh is described to be the opposing sensibility to Alhaitham's rationality, and in that human feeling is contrasted with practical knowledge.

The idea of correctness is alluded to here with the 'clash'ing of theories and Alhaitham refusing to pay for Kaveh's tab due to Kaveh disagreeing with his 'materialist' perspective. Since there is no definitive answer to their debate, there is no objective correct opinion offered. This idea of 'correctness' is a extremely relevant to Alhaitham and Kaveh's relationship, being a reason for their past argument and the misalignment of their once seemingly harmonised views, manifesting in their joint thesis of language and architecture. Now, however, the two are on differing wavelengths and appear to assert their opinions as the objective truth over the other (which is further discussed here). This ultimately acts as a detriment since Alhaitham asserts in A Parade of Providence that sometimes correctness can mean 'nothing at all'.

Not only is this particular board post interesting in regards to the differences in Kaveh and Alhaitham's characters and their approaches to life, it is also relevant in establishing their rapport with each other.

On a surface read, Alhaitham and Kaveh’s relationship can be simplified as “terrible” (as described by Geoff in A Toast To Victory), as in the two do not get along - but this in itself is a contradiction to Alhaitham’s inconvenience-avoiding nature, as by this he would gain nothing by allowing Kaveh to live with him.

Alongside their situation as roommates, it is revealed here that Alhaitham usually pays for Kaveh’s tab in Puspa’s Café, as well as buying crates of wine for the two of them from Lambad’s Tavern (as established in the Mahamata Bulletin Board). Whilst this is established, what is not established is what Alhaitham receives from these actions in return.

The implication is that Alhaitham does so without any expectations of reciprocation – as follows with his ‘rule’ of not keeping “track” of favours, so long as they do not inconvenience him. Alhaitham offering to buy Kaveh drinks in reference to a hypothetical furniture shopping excursion is referred to as a “loan” by Alhaitham, however, this does not mean that his paying off Kaveh’s tabs counts as the same.

When Alhaitham declines paying for Kaveh’s tab, it is because they have disagreed over their philosophies, and Alhaitham does so to ground Kaveh’s perceived idealism – referring to Kaveh as “spoiled”. Since Kaveh having to pay for his own tab is seen by Alhaitham as a sort of retribution, this shows that Kaveh typically does not have to pay Alhaitham back. This implies that the other “usual” instances of Alhaitham paying Kaveh’s tab are not loans, and are actions that are performed without expectation of reciprocation. Even within the proposed hypothetical scenario of Alhaitham buying drinks for Kaveh as a “loan” (as established in Alhaitham's story quest), he does not turn down Kaveh’s offer to go furniture shopping, and instead chastises Kaveh for pretending he is not in debt and having to live with Alhaitham.

These voluntary actions Alhaitham performs for Kaveh demonstrate the lack of inconvenience Kaveh imposes onto his life, and therefore rebuke the argument that Alhaitham actively dislikes Kaveh.

This discord of viewpoints and the lack of compromise demonstrated here as present within their two other bulletin board messages, albeit in different ways. The question ultimately posed ties in with the core question of their character design, most accurately put across in Kaveh’s Character Story 5, can their mirroring viewpoints ever align? Can they restore the harmony once established between them? Can the two ever understand each other?

Friendship Exchange: Mood Board for Al @schnarfer 🤍

As part of the @swiftiscruff friendship exchange, I went ahead and made a mood board for my absolute fave, @schnarfer 💕

I was heavily inspired by the things you love, and of course, your work! I’ve included a mixture of your favourite Pedro’s; from soft Frankie to our crazy Dieter. And last but certainly not least, two of my favourite fics of yours, ‘Dial Drunk’ and ‘Go Your Own Way.’

A mood board will never be enough to show you how much I adore you! I’m so incredibly lucky to know you, and thank you for everything you do for me and my smutty fics 🤍

If you haven’t already, here’s the links to Al’s fics that I used for this mood board! Her writing is seriously like no other!💕

I keep thinking back to the discussion between Ame and Indri because

What. A. Scene.

But also! When talking about her potential death/destruction of her station, Ame said that she could imagine going from 5 to 3 witch being some level of problematic and Indri didn't bat an eye!! Except the math is wrong here. If only Ame disappears then it's down to 4... But she said 3... She suggested that two witches would be taken out and Indri didn't react.

So it could just be, you know, math.

It could be that I heard wrong.

or it could be a thing.... Coz that dialogue was so many levels of intense and playing the game of witches

hi! I know you're probably busy with dawntrail right now, but I was wondering. in your tips for new ffxiv players, you said to always select the recommended option for gear. ignoring glamours, at what point would you recommend to start like. manually picking for stats instead of going with the recommended?

sorry if this is worded confusingly I tried my best to make it coherent,,

hi!

Um, never, unless you start savage raiding. Your “stats” are always going to be sufficient enough to do big damage and keep yourself competitive in normal content. The reason why is the listed stats (determination, skill speed, piety, etc) make such a tiny difference on your gameplay that it doesn’t matter until you’re getting really in the weeds with materia, potions, food for stats… and by that point, there’s tons of guides out there for what you want. What’s really important for MSQ and combat is item level! Which is what the recommended button prioritizes.

How I’ve played normally is I/the automatic button picks the gear with the highest ilvl I can, and then all of my materia (you’ll unlock materia if you haven’t yet) is the red kind. I like to add critical hit and spell speed. Is that savage/ultimate raid viable? Iunno. But you really don’t need to be worrying about it unless you’re hardcore lol
