Alhaitham being an office worker is actually so funny to me, because it genuinely just cracks me up sometimes that he really shows up to his governemnt employee job dressed like this
Amnesia AUs are all well and good, but what I truly want is a haikaveh amnesia AU where literally nobody knows Alhaitham has lost his memories except Alhaitham himself. He wakes up, realizes his situation quickly, and decides to just take it from there as though nothing happened.
Honestly, Alhaitham was always misunderstood, because if my 6 foot tall, blonde haired, bright and feisty, depressed architect situationship left me because of the stress of a fucking college group project of all things, then I would be on the news
I know people like the idea of jealous Alhaitham and I do too, BUT. I think it would be way funnier if he just, didn't seem to get jealous at all most of the time.
Except for when one day, after actually arguing with someone else on a message board, Kaveh comes home to this:
I understand why Kaveh doesn't realize Alhaitham is hopelessly down for him, I do, but it's also funny to think about sometimes because. Kaveh. Kaveh he's paying for your tabs. He is buying furniture with you for the house. He has welcomed you into said house. Kaveh.
It's still so beyond fucking funny to me that Alhaitham's Story Quest was about foiling the plans of a cult leader that had a really strong hate boner for him, despite Alhaitham being literally just Some Guy™ when the whole thing started. No one is doing it like him, I fear
There are some facts about 4ggravate that genuinely feel like they could only come out of a BL, like what do you fucking mean their parents were friends
Kaveh who one day gets a cute little sprout of a houseplant for their living room, and affectionately names it "Little Haitham" and Alhaitham who at his late twenties, finds himself suddenly in the very irrational and frustrating position of being jealous of a plant
IT RAINS WHEN NEUVILLETE CRIES, SO THAT MEANS HE CALLED WRIOTHESLEY WHEN HE WAS UPSET ABOUT SOMETHING AND WRIOTHESLEY COVERED HIM WITH AN UMBRELLA GOD I WILL BE SICK, WHAT IN THE SHOUJO ANIME, KDRAMA, ROMCOM HELL IS THIS
#wriolette
If Kaveh and him ever get married, I just know Alhaitham will be so fucking obnoxious with the wedding ring. Like literally unbearable without even saying a single word
I've been seeing the "Alhaitham makes Kaveh pay rent!" argument floating about recently against haikaveh, and it's extremely funny to me everytime. Yes, there are theories as to why he does that but here's the thing:
Regardless of rent, Alhaitham, Scribe of the Akademiya,
I'm in love with the way Alhaitham has been giving us absolutely nothing so frequently when he gets new content. TCG card animation? He's just kinda standing there through half the burst. Entering party animation? Closes the book and just looks at you like 🧍♂️
Every once in awhile some haikaveh anti will pop up to be like "Alhaitham acts so willfully mean and toxic to Kaveh, omg" and every time it's comedy gold, because I remember that the one time Kaveh genuinely got upset at what he said on-screen, he folded like a wet napkin 😭
HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE THIS?? Kaveh's normal attacks and charged attacks even without a dendro infusion apparently have this unique characteristic to them still, where there's a dotted line kinda tracing their trajectory??? I love my architect wife?? THIS IS SO COOL SHSJSJSJSK???
Kaveh drowning his woes in drinks at the tavern after a fight with his client, only to see us there and immediately get concerned, and tell us to not believe in whoever said drinking is an elegant past time, because it's no good for our health 😭
Do you guys ever think about the fact that Alhaitham fucking color coded their keys because I do, he's so fucking embarassing 😭. He went into the locksmith literally wearing a giant wet cat costume, I actually can't do this rn
#haikaveh
Alhaitham trying to romance Kaveh but he doesn't know how and keeps accidentally fucking up is hilarious and I love it, but what about he knows exactly what he's doing and that's what actually freaks Kaveh out.
Imagine, Alhaitham comes back home with a box of
Poor Kaveh always gets hit with the "turning Alhaitham gay" allegations 😭😭, and it's funny because what blame does he have in this. His crime was to approach the quiet kid he thought was being bullied in the House of Daena, and their lives have just been interwined ever since
my homophobic little brother was talking to me abt genshin and I mentioned that Kaveh was one of my fav character and he deadass just said "i dont like kaveh because he makes alhaitham look gay" and im crying laughing what ??
this is how I always imagine haikaveh's proposal going
alhaitham, on his knees in the middle of their living room: so tell me, kaveh. will you marry me?
kaveh, tears in his eyes: we've been dating for three and a half minutes
Kaveh after finally getting together with Alhaitham, in the middle of one of his weekly talks with Tighnari discussing their lives, says "so me and Alhaitham talked about it" and Tighnari immediately drops an entire armful of silverware in schock because they COMMUNICATED?!!?!?!?
We don't talk enough about this scene, like he rlly got home all excited to tell Alhaitham about how he won the second competition's points as though Alhaitham wasn't the commentator of the whole thing and wasn't literally there when it happened 😭😭
In pure Alhaitham fashion, he decides it would be interesting to turn this into some sort of experiment- a new way to understand and study the self. In this situation, now lacking the proper information, he has been inserted into his own life as an outsider.
What is Alhaitham
did you know? in teyvat, it is actually illegal to be a pretty blond man. all the pretty blond men of teyvat are currently in jail, banished to the depths of the ocean, never to be seen again
Alhaitham actually gives off such dutiful boyfriend vibes. Waiting for Kaveh to finish a TCG match with Cyno at the table, reading. Testing out coffee blends with him. Paying for his tabs, cleaning his bookshelves when Kaveh complains. Giving him space to talk, and praising him.
Haikaveh actually aren't "friends to lovers" or "enemies to lovers" or even "friends to enemies to lovers" for me. They actually are "strangers to friends to whatever the fuck they were back then, to whatever the fuck they were after that, to whatever the fuck they are now"
No reason for him to mention this 😭😭. Paimon and the Traveler were talking about the change of leadership in the Akademiya and had no idea what Kaveh's darshan even was. The topic of Kaveh hadn't even come up yet, and Alhaitham didn't even know they had seen him. He's so silly
How many students do you guys think applied to Kaveh's classes just because this is the commemorative photo the Akademiya has of him. Bc ngl, I could be from Amurta but you would definitely catch me fighting for the front row seats
I'M SORRY???? HAVE YOU GUYS FORGOTTEN "our famed architect", "our master architect", "Light of the Ksharewar"????? ALHAITHAM ALREADY CALLS HIM NICKNAMES CANONICALLY!!!!
The potential of haikaveh taking naps together is underappreciated. Kaveh mentions he gets sleepy under the sun, and Alhaitham mentions napping in the afternoon.
Imagine them both curling up together under the same patch of sunlight during the day, like a pair of cats.
kaveh: *walking through the market with a client who is too close, and is clearly enamoured by him*
alhaitham: *unbothered* i hope he doesn't forget any of our groceries
kaveh: *calls some other guy an infuriating bastard with no respect for his seniors*
alhaitham:
to the outside world? Who was he, at least in the eyes of other people? What presence has he left? And can Alhaitham through studying it, and through enough introspection and understanding of himself, seamlessly reestabilish himself into this life he apparently built?
He's SO funny. Like, literally no one asked??? You go up to him with "I thought you would be bored here" and he responds with "Nah, here is fine. Btw I just need you to know that I will be the one opening the door of our home to Kaveh tonight." 😭
what is its purpose? And does Kaveh even want to believe it's a ploy? That this new comfort is somehow not real?
The frustration builds within him. And then Alhaitham- horrible, impossible man that he is- decides to do something utterly incomprehensible.
The bastard kisses him.
#haikaveh
Why do so many people act like we are forcing Alhaitham into being with someone he wouldn't want, and he would rather stay with someone else, and that Kaveh doesn't "deserve him".
Have people considered it's Alhaitham who chose Kaveh. It's Alhaitham who wants Kaveh.
Kaveh is so cute. He's just so beyond cute.
The way he snaps his fingers when he figures something out is cute, the way he gets sleepy when he is under the sun for too long is cute, the way he rambles too much about his job is cute, as is his habit of raising his head up in the
Sometimes, I remember canonical haikaveh facts and I just have to sit down for a minute like... that was real?? Kaveh really refered to meeting Alhaitham as one of the most pivotal moments of his life along with his mother's remarriage and Alcazarzaray's reconstruction?? I'm so??
