I have a linguistics degree so I can also claim insanely wrong things. French is just badly pronounced Latvian.

It’s so hard to be like “humanity isn’t evil and a disease” when you’re on a uni course specifically about why humanity is evil and a disease to every ecosystem and species on the planet
#okay its not actually saying such polarising things its just hard to be positive about things#when you read about how ecosystems have been transformed by us for thousands of years#when you read about the passenger pigeon… TToTT

wanted to see if I could paint something using only my Arch Nemesis (((round hard brush))), and considering I have almost no experience with it I think it turned out pretty good

i think what's really funny is watching all the lando stans on twitter absolutely lose their shit over their driver getting team ordered and the charles fans are there like
#twitter is an interesting ecosystem#and one i never want to venture near again everyone is too polarised#whereas end of the day on here like or hate a driver i'm still enjoying omegaverse rpf about them just the same#lando norris#charles leclerc#hungarian gp 2024#screwderia ferrari#anti mclaren

Cannot believe that 'access to quality art and writing made by other people is a luxury not a right, and artists and writers deserve to be compensated for their labour, because as much as I believe in the ethos of UBI, we live in a post-capitalist hellscape, and creators need to eat' is a controversial opinion in Leftist spaces.
#'if you are consuming the product of someone's labour you should compensate them fairly for it for as long as we live in this shitty#capitalist world' should not be a polarising stance#but apparently the leftist praxis leaves people's brains when you remind them that artists and creatives also need money and food#and that idealism does not pay the bills#anyway. I am anti-pirating from indie creators (which. authors are.) AND anti-AI. until we have good UBI. Then you can go nuts#but until that day saying 'it's okay to steal wages from creatives' is really not a great leftie look lmao#We Live In A Shitty Capitalist Society and the way to combat that is. surprisingly. not to take other people's livelihoods.#work towards UBI. We should all be doing this. But in the meantime don't shit on fellow poor people scraping a survival#it's really that simple

i unapologetically, unironically love crush. like it tries so hard to be anti-spuffy but david fury was a FOOL to think that the line "I'm drowning in you, Summers" wasn't going to irreparably alter my brain chemistry. that Spike almost falling over himself to open a door for Buffy wasn't going to make me positively unhinged.
literally the only thing i don't like about this episode is fury patronising the audience with his ham-handed, puritanical Hunchback analogy.
but it's fine, 'cause buffy didn't do the reading.
#you tried so hard david and you just kept digging yourself deeper#like... maybe controversial but this episide is up there with something blue for me#sometimes i still gotta watch through hands over my face#but i love love love it#dawn speaking on the entire audience's behalf#and playing the role of someone who wasn't traumatised by angelus and doesn't have an (understandably) polarised view of soul lore#“i don't think spike's icky”#you're right dawn and you're right to say it#spuffy#buffy#spike#spike btvs#spike x buffy#buffy the vampire slayer

Look, say whatever you want about courtney or the way the fandom treats her, at least people actually care about her. I haven't met a single person in this fandom that's been perfectly neutral on her; they either dislike her alot or are HUGE stans, and i think that's pretty cool

Ahahah I got vagueposted about and Tumblr fucking recommended that post to me 😂😂 hey, guys, you know that you can block me? Or block the ship tags?? It's really that easy. Why aren't you taking precautios if you don't want to see that stuff?
Also since you haven't blocked me, I can see you. Also: maybe, just maybe, it's not healthy for you to think so much about me and what I post here on my free time. Just a little tip for you guys!
#also me posting ship stuff into the character tag and TAGGING said ship does not stop you from posting other stuff about that character#just please block the ship tag#it's much nicer for you and much nicer for me because then you don't have to see the stuff I post#this is how fandoms get so fucking polarised because you guys can't curate#also why are you hatescrolling?

Alhaitham and Kaveh's dynamic is interesting, because I've seen a lot of people say either "oh my god Kaveh is so mean" or "oh my god Alhaitham treats Kaveh terribly". But, quite importantly imo, in this quest Paimon remarks that she "doesn't know which one of them is more problematic".
I think when considering their relationship you need to look at intention. Do Hoyo want to villainise one of their popular husnandoes as a toxic asshole? No. Even the "villain" playable characters like Childe and Wanderer are nice/funny on occasion. Kaveh and Alhaitham's interactions are intended to be humorous, to make you gasp and say "oh wow I can't believe he just said that!".
Like, during the most recent story quest, for example. Kaveh accusing Alhaitham of having no empathy when he's clearly pretty emotionally stunted and decently moral is mean. But saying "At least I'd be a fungus with empathy!" Undercuts that - it's clear neither Alhaitham nor the player are suppose to take those words seriously.
Alhaitham dismissing Kaveh's field of work with "you work yourself to death just for a smile" is so belittling, but it's a retort to Kaveh saying his scribe job is at "rock bottom" in the Akademiya. Alhaitham isn't lashing out or trying to demean Kaveh in front of others (this interaction happens after the player has "left"); he's just continuing their verbal sparring match. I think people take this jab so seriously because it can be seen as a jab at a lot of people working out of passion, but in the context of the dialogue we're not supposed to regard it so deeply.
It's also fairly clear that nobody in game takes them seriously either. Tighnari says Kaveh is "as pent up as an anemo slime" in his Alhaitham voiceline - another funny quip - and Collei details how hard it was to suppress her laughter when Kaveh was talking about Alhaitham. Nobody thinks they're genuinely bad for one another, or that getting them separated is all that crucial.
Even the interactions in this story quest are just so silly and domestic: Kaveh can't get the painting straight, Alhaitham buys ugly furniture, they're arguing about rent and drink tabs, Kaveh is doing an unfair amount of housework and Alhaitham fucks off without entertaining his own guests. it's funny, or at least it is clearly intended to be.
I've heard that in the other dubs the VAs tones are different and it makes the lightheartedness clearer. Personally I've thought since their first interaction in the AQ that Alhaitham is having fun during their quarrels, and Kaveh is just melodramatic enough to act traumatised even if he isn't truly offended.
Then when it comes to whether their dynamic is supposed to be read platonically or romantically... Well Hoyo won't do anything canon, but it's hard to argue that there is no intentionality in how their relationship is portrayed. What other character(s) has an idle animation directly referencing their relationship with another character? How many other voicelines explicitly reference two characters as a pair? Nahida's Kaveh voiceline, Collei's, Tighnari's - I'm sure there are more. "Roommates" "senior & junior" "academic rivals" -> certainly there's a case to be made that they're just very close, but Kaveh and Alhaitham getting fifteen minutes of epilogue interaction in two different quests (where none of the content is related to either quest) says something. Fanservice, quite possibly.
Also Kaveh's line "We used to be friends, but not anymore"; I've seen plenty of people interpret this as "oh we're not friends, we're dating*". I think this is fun in fanon, but on a canon level it's basically a promise by Hoyo to fix (or explain) their current dynamic. Hoyo, for all their many faults, are detail orientated enough to follow up on such a line. Perhaps it will just be in Kaveh's voicelines/character stories, but I anticipate a future event or Kaveh hangout in relation to their bond. Nothing explicit, but more exploration. It's fairly clear Alhaitham and Kaveh are popular enough characters to warrant it.
All this to say: I have lots of thoughts. I have seen people call them toxic and (while idm the drama of that in fanon shipping) that isn't really the intended case in canon. Or, at the very least, the intention is not to to take their squabbling so seriously.
#genshin impact#alhaitham#al haitham#kaveh#kavetham#alhaitham story quest#also pls don't somehow take this as ship bashing for other pairings#this is NOT: oh my ship is canon everyone else stfu#i just wanted to discuss how interesting Hoyo's approach to their dynamic has been#and how polarising the fandom's reaction has been#it's not supposed to be taken seriously#i think kaveh is leaked for 3.6#which should be new desert area#i would not be surprised if we have a desert quest with him#considering how he has had a significant amount of screentime already#in comparison to Faruzan and Layla and even Candace#we don't know what his rarity is yet#but he's had a lot of build up#when most characters not directly involved in archon quests#only debut in their release patches#with rumours of them beforehand#think ayato think itto think eula#i wonder what Hoyo will do with Kaveh#and haitham might end up as the Sumeru Albedo#considering he's already a front runner for most dialogue out of the Sumeru characters#maybe he'll get an event before Fontaine
