Lovely Complex is such a gem. In theory. How it exists in your memory from when you were fifteen is the real version. Best shoujo of all time. Don't rewatch it tho. You will learn a terrible truth.
#its not that good. unfortunately#the concept is good. the vibe is good#the message is good#the execution is....well#i love a good imperfect messy dysfunctional relationship#and riza and otani are so fun sometimes#but man once riza confesses to him it gets Bad#i really like that otani doesnt have an answer to her right away. and he needs some time to think about it#and i love that riza isnt perfect and she cant hide how it hurt she is that he doesnt feel the same#but MAN those episodes in the middle of the season are a painful slog#of riza constantly guilt tripping otani for not loving her#for running away and crying when he talks to other girls#and he sees her do this. and he knows why#and he makes the decision to NOT pursue other girls because shes his friend and he cares about her#and doesnt want to hurt her because he knows about her feelings#the other characters constantly berating him for not feeling the same. like its his fault#and then when they actually DO get together it doesnt feel satisfying#it feels hollow. like he was finally worn down and said okay#and then near immediately afterwards he breaks up with her for a stupid misunderstanding#hate that shit#(theres also that whole mid 2000s anime transphobia shit. thats weird too)#man...i love lovecom....in theory#short boy and tall girl my beloved

im not the biggest alhaitham/kaveh shipper (because im a rare pair ho) but it seems to me that in alhaitham/kaveh getting-together fics tend to be... unequal.
the beautiful thing about alhaitham and kaveh is that they're both equally right and equally wrong and equally dicks about it. but the writers for alhaitham/kaveh much more frequently seem to give alhaitham the burden change (the burden of the character flaw) instead of kaveh.
in any good character arc, the main character has a fatal flaw or misconception, and by the end of that arc they have addressed that flaw in some definitive way. scrooge was a scrooge and learned that being that way was detrimental; merlin from finding nemo was overprotective to a fault and had to learn that he couldn't (and shouldn't) control everything and to let go; the wolf from little red riding hood learns that you should stop while you're ahead.
stories centering around romance tend to lean heavily on character arcs, which makes sense. and since romance generally requires two individuals to be vulnerable and open and emotional with each other, it makes double sense that alhaitham/kaveh authors zoom straight into alhaitham's lack of emotional vulnerability.
this bothers me.
in society, individuals are expected to experience and present emotions in a specific way. if someone dies, you cry. if someone smiles at you, you smile back. if you're at a party, you're supposed to be having fun. if you don't do these things, you're seen as impolite at best and a inhuman freak at worst. when these behaviors are frequent it's often viewed as emotional immaturity, or a lack of ability to feel at all. the inability or lack of willingness to conform to societies emotional expectations of you is seen as a flaw and a reason for exclusion.
alhaitham is canonically disliked and avoided for being the way he is. he prefers it this way, but that doesn't mean the people perpetuating this avoidance are in the right. they are the societal pressure to conform that alhaitham blows off. alhaitham could be the way he is for a lot of reasons: avoidant attachment style, trauma, following someone else's example (eg. his grandmother), or just his base personality. it doesn't MATTER. he is the way he is. kaveh having to accept that should be part of the story.
putting the burden of the fatal flaw on alhaitham, making the way alhaitham treats kaveh and the people around him the problem, feels invalidating. it implies heavily that alhaitham's way of interfacing with the world, alhaitham's very SELF, is incorrect. my suggestion is to flip a larger portion of that burden onto kaveh. kaveh 👏 character 👏 arcs 👏
some examples/recommendations:
- make kaveh project his insecurities onto other people but especially onto alhaitham; he's overly reliant on other people for his own self worth, and he perceives alhaitham's lack of positive feedback as a direct reflection of how alhaitham feels about him. but learns along the way that alhaitham doesn't hate him, kaveh's actual struggle is with hating himself and being unable to his own self as worthy of love. maybe throw in how you are responsible for your own recovery, other people can help but you can't rely on them to carry you through self actualization.
- or, kaveh tries to make alhaitham behave more like a "normal" person, to be more pleasant and emotive and forthcoming, and then realizes he's in the wrong for trying to make alhaitham into something he's not, possibly for all the wrong reasons (not because he likes alhaitham better like that, but bc society says that's healthier and a better/more conforming way to be)
- or you could go ahead make alhaitham's issues the main problem but they're too complicated to overcome in a short period of time, so kaveh has to accept alhaitham is doing his best in his own way and not push for unrealistic and unhealthy changes. he could alter his own behavior to give alhaitham space and time and a safe place to land.
that got sappy so it's past time for me to dip out. go forth and ship things; but maybe consider letting alhaitham be a rude stone-faced bastard if he wants to be.
#genshin#alhaitham#kaveh#alhaitham x kaveh#kaveh x alhaitham#kavetham#haikaveh#fanfiction#fandom discussion#meta post#i finally used a readmore are you proud of me#as an avoidant attachment girlie alhaitham is my oshi#pls just allow him to not emote#let the man vibe#i feel certain there must be a real word for the concept of... socially enforced emotional conformity#unrealistic societal expectations and for your inner world which is none of their business#but i sure couldn't find it#if anyone has any words for this pls let me know it's kind of killing me#anyway#i get so mad when the avoidant attachment coded character is forced into (independently by themselves) the arc of:#i realize now that my way of interfacing with people is wrong and bad. yay! i will change that immediately for the big emotional finale#like! with what therapy!!#and why is THEIR world view the incorrect one!!#i have seen fics where it was all a big misunderstanding and actually alhaitham loves kaveh deeply#and kaveh just has to get over his insecurities and understand alhaitham's love language or whatever#and sure. good effort.#but i feel like a lot of those fics aren't very accurate to alhaitham's character#they're retrofitting alhaitham's core personality to better suit the traditional romance narrative#i also think part of the problem is that alhaitham is a pov that's divorced from regular emotionally well adjusted people#and it's difficult to understand or write povs that are drastically different from your own

watched Grease the other night with my buddy and. well. obviously i Had To
#this was a good warm up i think. kinda low quality cause its Small and Not Much Effort Went Into It#but i think the fuzziness adds to the charm. or something like that#ive always loved greasers as a concept and general Thing#anyway now im Thinking about what everyone's 'roles' would be#i think the little greaser group would be wally / sally / barnaby#except theyre the most unconventional greasers ever#sally is all bark and no bite. barnaby is no bark and no bite. wally is just there to look pretty#i think theyd fold frank into the group eventually due to Witnessing His Knack For Violence#i can picture them mostly hanging around a diner#where they all share the single milkshake they can collectively afford#scribble garnish#welcome home#in middle school i absolutely adored the outsiders#we even did a thing for the class where we were assigned 'greaser' or 'soc' and i was So Fucking Delighted to get greaser#assigned greaser by 8th grade english class#got to dress up and everything. i had a blast. so gender.#during that time i would even sit there in class thinking 'i was born in the wrong generation'. delusional? yes#one of my ocs is even a fuckin. universe-hopping assassin greaser#their vibe.... 50s punk...#loved the movie btw. made next to no sense. very charming

Thinking about the exquisite imagery of Bucky shaving his mustache, while in contrast Buck let’s his scruff grow in. I can see it so clearly: Bucky shaves the ‘stach when they’re in the POW camp as a result of losing a bet (it’s highly probable he lost of purpose because he wants to give the men an opportunity to laugh it up). But it totally goes sideways once it becomes clear how young he looks without it. Buck on the other hand is stressing over this new change enough to forget to shave for a few weeks straight. Is this brain rot due to me thinking about Callum’s look in the Green Room combined with Austin’s look in the Bikeriders? Yes. Please send help.
in case anyone needs a lovely visual! (ʘ‿ʘ✿)
okay, while i PERSONALLY am in love with bucky's stache and feel like shaving it even in fiction would be an absolute travesty, i see the vision and i agree, i could totally see something like that happening.
john does it as a joke/for a bet and figures that hey, they're all gonna be stuck in the camp for a while anyway, chances are it'll grow back by the time it really matters. no big deal, and it gets laughs in a place where those are increasingly rare, even if he has to suffer through relentless teasing about his baby face for a few weeks.
gale does not deal with it nearly as well, however; it throws off any routine he's built and it feels ridiculous because it's just facial hair but it's such a big change after the monotony of day–to–day behind the fence that it's enough to rattle his brain. and letting his own facial hair grow out probably isn't even a conscious choice, almost like a mindless way of falling back into sync with john as both of theirs grows back.
if buckbucky is an established thing in this verse, we all know damn well john would be obsessed with gale's scruff, rubbing his own cheek up against it like a cat, thirsting over it and ogling him 24/7.
and the way it feels against his thighs, stubble burn leaving the sensitive skin a pretty pink when gale's face is between his legs...
john would be devastated and pouty when it comes time for him to finally shave it, but gale would promise him "when we get out, i'll let it grow back for a bit, yeah?" and that would perk him right up. <3
#i've actually been toying with an AU with gale and john but how they look in the bikeriders and green room/the only living boy in new york#and i have many Thoughts but i need to flesh it out more#and i probably won't ever do anything with it because i have too many things i want to write but it's a nice (hot) concept <3#also have y'all watched 'leaving' with callum turner bc good lord.#john looking like that pretty twink and crushing on intimidating bikeriders!gale??? the daddy issues vibes?? helllooooo meow LMFAOOO#buck x bucky#buckbucky#johnslittlespoon asks#johnslittlespoon brainrot#johnslittlespoon spicy

Inspired by the soul crushingly sad au by @yujateaandpi , Dipper visiting Stan during the thirty years Mabel and Ford were missing.
I would recommend it if you want to have a cry.
The design for Dipper is Yujanteaandpi's, but Stan hasn't made an appearance yet, so I did the best I could! (ps. I have just realised that drawing wrinkles is a lot of fun)
#creativesplat draws#old Stanley pines#old dipper pines#gravity falls#30 more years au#dipper pines#stanley pines#this au is so sad I had to listen to happy music afterwards to feel normal#like stan and ford are allowed to be broken adults but dipper? he's a kid! but now hes a broken adult? noooooo#but I love it#also elderly stan and older dipper is just such an emotional concept rn because some of my relatives are getting elderly and frail#its kind of cool seeing that depicted in other people's writing and stuff - the pre-grief that ageing involves but the joy of the moments#with them in their last years#anyway#also dipper being more like stan is just such a good vibe like yes someone who gets it! dipper and stan the sad/ pessimistic twins#dipper and stan bonding is my fave
