[@anonymous-r4q1q]

Bro kaveh getting real excited to see alhaitham

[@tobiochan09]

notice how Alhaitham could immediately tell when Kaveh's feeling down and changed the topic real quick to distract Kaveh. and when Kaveh left to check his annotations, Alhaitham didn't beat around the bush and immediately asked traveler "ANYWAY what made Kaveh sad". he could've left the library to "pick his files" and go off his merry way but nah, he needs to check on him and see if his mood will improve. when Kaveh's mood did improve upon seeing a comment praising his work, Alhaitham backed it up with an acknowledgement that his works are indeed impressive (with the way he said this, it seemed he already did this many times before because he didn't want to talk over Kaveh when presenting his achievements). this subtle details of their relationship, being concerned to one another just shows how Alhaitham cares about Kaveh in his own way (regardless of shipping goggles or not) and why their relationship shouldn't be reduced to just 'bickering'. They definitely have a lot of miscommunication going on but with each update, we see more and more of how they support each other and surprise each other in their own little ways which shows a lot on how they improved and matured since their Akademiya days (especially Alhaitham).

[@luzhang-sf7rc]

Yessss!! Also I also saw this from other place - that alhaitham mentioned the place kaveh love to show as next stop the pavilions around Razan Garden - is exactly where hoyo did alhaitham’s PV.

i like how you explain it rationally rather than just putting on the shipping goggles. thanks! because i prefer to view them as besties. the way they care for each other are really good for besties. you know, if you live together with your besties under one roof, the bickering is inevitable. because usually the chance of you're seeing something that your besties do or don't do, but you don't like it, or vice versa, is higher than when you live separately. but in the end, you're still besties and care for each other🤗

[@KontauriC07]

Ppl saying Alhaitham doesn’t care and hates Kaveh. He literally immediately read him and instantly come up with a plan to distract him and cheer him up (which increased the hearts on top). Alhaitham also discussed with traveler all about Kaveh. Kaveh is really, idealistic ,selfless and doesn’t leave anything for himself. Alhaitham is the one keeping him grounded and injects the reality to him to keep him sane.

[@meng425]

the entirety of 5:34-13:04 is just them arguing 😭😭 7 and a half whole minutes

[@TravellerZasha]

Call me crazy but I really didn't expect Alhaitham in Kaveh's hangout except when they mention his name. I actually like how Kaveh *wanted* Alhaitham to come to the dinner, especially with how earlier he felt sad and this talk of companionship. Also didn't expect Kaveh and Alhaitham to act like dads or maybe uncles towards Collei. I like how here Alhaitham says it's too late for Kaveh to change careers and although it is indeed reckless Kaveh actually attempts it in this hangout which kinda proves Alhaitham wrong even if it didn't work out. Also screamed when Alhaitham was in the house of Daena even though i joked about that before. First of all I find it interesting that Kaveh uses a very complex and colourful language compared to Alhaitham despite Alhaitham being the Haravatat major. Second it's interesting what Alhaitham says to us behind Kaveh's back, it's good advice that Alhaitham should've said to Kaveh's face. Maybe he doesn't think Kaveh can accept it because he thinks Kaveh can never understand his perspective so Alhaitham mirrors Kaveh through bickering to either calm Kaveh from his depression or subtly make Kaveh realise something in a way Kaveh would understand as Kaveh argues a lot. I think after this hang out a part of why Kaveh and Alhaitham argue at least from Kaveh's viewpoint is that Alhaitham is so confident on his rational analysis of a solution being the right most logical one that he isn't open to seeing other solutions from others perspectives especially irrational out of the box ones. Kaveh can be a good negotiator as seen with the other clients here and Kaveh mentions how he's given reasons why he thinks his idealism is a good belief even if it's flawed but Alhaitham is so ridged in his belief that opposed to idealism that maybe he doesn't give it chance. I also love how Alhaitham breaks the 4th wall here. Throughout this hangout the hearts actually represent Kaveh's mood and go up and down based off it. It's unique for a vn style as most vn's use filling the hearts as bonding or getting closer with someone, even in Genshin. But filling Kaveh's hearts just means he's happier. When Kaveh reads a comment and his heart goes up Alhaitham points out Kaveh is feeling better. I liked this detail for the 4th wall break but also that Alhaitham can tell how Kaveh feels especially when he's sad and i think deep down doesn't want to see him like that. P.s as someone who handled textbooks for a part of my life, the idea of anyone annotating the library textbooks is such a dumb idea.

[@wittich_tara]

Reading that last sentence.... I can imagine the chaos and all the unreadable books 😅

[@SuhaR0310]

I love your analysis ❤ and I agree about Alhaitham. I think the main reason why Alhaitham told us all of this in the library about Kaveh and his advice is because he knew that Kaveh wouldn't take it if it came from him. There's also this pride that stops Kaveh from listening to a junior because he feels like it's his responsibility to be as a senior to be a role model for Alhaitham. Kaveh wouldn't accept an advice from his junior despite being some good and valuable advice and even less if it came from Alhaitham, since Alhaitham doesn't really deliver enough compassion and empathy to get through Kaveh. Kaveh only resonates and lives according to his emotions while Alhaitham only communicates with common sense and logic. Trying to get Kaveh to listen to you would only be successful if the advisor shows adequate emotions and care for others as Kaveh does, which is not who Alhaitham is. Perhaps Alhaitham told the Traveller all of this hoping that Kaveh would listen to his advice through the Traveller?

[@TravellerZasha]

@@SuhaR0310 Thank you and your words are just as interesting of a read as well. Your reason is a good one and I didn't think of that but I can definitely understand Kaveh's pride and responsibility as a senior getting in the way of accepting advice. Not only does he do this with Tighnari but I noticed he's the "do as I say and not what I do" type of person, like he gives out advice but never does his own advice, example being when he tells us not to start drinking alcohol for health reasons (which btw I think he's the only character to say that to us) even though his fave food is alcohol and drinks all the time. Now that I think about it is kinda true that Kaveh needs to see that you have emotion/empathy in order for him to not argue with you examples of this are Layla, and the main client at the beginning of this hangout. Even when Alhaitham shows some emotion I don't think Kaveh would believe it which adds to their bickering. This is a good reason as to why Alhaitham didn't tell it to Kaveh's face, the man's smart enough to figure this out otherwise he'd have no reason in telling us such. I like the idea that like how Kaeya was happy that we are a friend to Diluc who distrusts like everyone, Alhaitham maybe is happy that Kaveh finally has a friend that Kaveh could feel close with to share stuff he couldn't with his other peers. I like to think this will be explored in the future where Alhaitham tells more of his true feelings and advice to the traveller and we have to tell Kaveh in Kaveh language. You're analysis definitely made me see a lot of myself in Kaveh as I was once a senior to my peers at the Akademiya and I do feel like I have a huge responsibility to force myself to be better as a role model for them to almost an unhealthy level because it meant I couldn't be a student as well or make mistakes. Also I had a friend who was very logical even in their advice but I would feel frustrated/hurt if they didn't have a tone of empathy/compassion which made it less likely I'd follow the advice. I just relate to Kaveh a lot, from his backstory to his personality to his complicated relationship with Alhaitham, so I talk about him a lot lately. Plus he's like a father figure to me and one of my current comfort characters ^w^

[@antdude009]

I think it's cute that Al-Haitham would use his "master plan" strategy to encourage Kaveh to feel more spirited and confident about himself than ever without pushing Kaveh down to depression. Al-Haitham definitely knows how to keep Kaveh's spirits up when he's miserable.Though I feel like he could have told him about his feelings to Kaveh's face, but as you mentioned earlier, Kaveh wouldn't believe a single sympathy and compassion from Al-Haitham and is cynical to Al-Haitham's character -- he's always thinking the worst of him. Additionally, l have let to believe Kaveh is not ready to accept Al-Haitham's genuine kindness and compliments due to his guilt- conscience. Kaveh's is fully aware of his roommate's support but probably doesn't have that courage to tell him to his face.

[@SuhaR0310]

@@TravellerZasha I relate to both Alhaitham and Kaveh a lot which makes me have quite the personality 😂. I can be overly logical at times and overly creative and idealistic in other times. I have this need to be logical in the aspects of life but when I execute a logical plan, I use my creative and unrealistic ways which is not the best. Personally, I see myself in both Alhaitham and Kaveh so it's always so interesting to learn more about them. Although I still see Alhaitham as a comfort character (crazy, right?) And I see Kaveh as myself and the character I need to bring comfort to because he's so like me and I wish I was more like Alhaitham! I am just like you, I rarely ask for help and have to endure the role of role model (although for me it's because I am the eldest daughter of my family) but the intention is the same + adding to that the fact that I'm the only artistic person in my family is making me feel even closer to Kaveh. I'm so happy Kaveh can be a comfort character to you!! I can't wait to see more interactions between them and even the relationship development, they used to be best friends, I hope they grow closer again 🥺

i recently just read all of kaveh's stories 1-5 on his profile and i think it is a huge part in understanding alhaitham and kaveh. in the fifth story, which i believe has the most significance in understanding both, it explains how kaveh just can't say no to people and takes on many burdens of other people, despite him getting nothing in return. obviously alhaitham believes the exact opposite and during their argument, which would cause their falling apart, the story says "Alhaitham had seen through the reality that he had never been able to face, causing him to feel reality's bite for the first time, a feeling that made Kaveh steadfastly declare that he regretted making friends with this all-too-intelligent person" and this is the best argument i can use to show how alhaitham *truly* cares about kaveh because he didn't want to let him go, even with all their differences. all his stories show how alhaitham isn't just someone he bickers with and constantly fights, but that they both care about each other and just show it in ways that might not be obvious to the others. another thing that i believe to be true is how alhaitham cares for kaveh. he says things that are thought to be rude and hurtful, like when he says, "you think i would derive amusement from watching you fall into depression over your life's troubles? if that's the case, then i suppose i must have been entertaining myself for years." but i believe alhaitham says this to somewhat check up on kaveh or to tell him that he isnt doing well, but he tries to hide the actual meaning in teasing comments, just might not know how to express those thoughts, he believes that kaveh might not believe him if he says his true thoughts, or he is just shy and wants to cover it up with a cold facade. kaveh has so much guilt about giving people his opinion and encouraging them to do a certain thing, only for it to end up horrible, like the palace of alcazarzaray and when his father joined the competition in the desert, that all he can do it take the burden everyone is carrying for himself to "pay" it off. i think alhaitham realized this after kaveh told alhaitham everything about his life when he got drunk (in story 5) and that he always has cared for kaveh and wants him to be okay.

i know this videos about al haithaim and kaveh but i wanna put appreciation for the two long comments, yeah theryre long but i loved reading them also its pretty funny kaveh stil remembers which row of bookshelves he found alhaithaim

[@_butter.cup_]

bro forgets his keys but never forgot that lmao

I’m a simple person, I see alhaitham and kaveh I smiled

[@wingy6060]

It's so funny how Tighnari is the only two non-Kaveh mentions of Alhaitham's name, but in Alhaitham's "About Tighnari" voiceline, he doesn't say Tighnari's name even once.

[@SizzlingSocks]

Lumine and Collei: thats gay.

this hangout event is like going on a date with kaveh but all he talks about is his boyfriend (whos also there with him the whole time)

[@krungkronch1947]

so yeah, Kaveh would definitely stops me from pursuing Architecture. I can feel it.

I love how alhaitham is absolutely flaming kaveh in his own hangout quest

[@Little_Radish]

4:14 why is this so relatable?

[@EnbyInTheRain]

No one’s gonna talk about how Kaveh can instantly recognize Alhaitham’s handwriting?

[@fate7418]

I find it funny as well how with any other person who attempts to argue with Alhaitham he gives them the silent treatment and stares them down, or gives facts to obliterate the argument- now with Kaveh Alhaitham actually listens and shoots him down in the “kindest” way possibly (for him anyway-) and actually entertains the argument instead of just staying silent and ignoring him- Now Kaveh on the other hand is too kind to argue with anyone, he doesn’t want to shoot others down but build them up! He’d definitely be the person to lie about something to make another person feel better, but when it comes to Alhaitham- yeah that filter is *gone* he’s annoyed at everything he says and begins quite a few arguments- the two of them also compliment eachother in the most passive aggressive ways, and Alhaitham even admitted the fact that he see’s Kaveh as an equal, which is something he doesn’t see anyone else as- that’s seriously a huge deal for an arrogant person to see someone else as an equal, but Alhaitham isn’t just Arrogant, he’s factual. He knows he smarter then everyone because he just- is- but he doesn’t think all high and mighty like he’s the boss of them all. He’s just aware he’s smarter then them but doesn’t use it to gain power, so admitting that someone else is of equal intelligence is a pretty huge thing if you think about it

[@Light.of.Kshahrewar]

Mixed bag alright.

[@cussundriakneal9904]

Perfectly describing the complexity of their relationship and why they go together so well. Very well articulated!

[@thekavehfanatic]

its so funny that this is a HANGOUT QUEST between KAVEH AND TRAVELLER. and these two mfs being "roommates"

[@B_Have]

they need each other and they know it, take that however you want it, but they need to be in each other’s lives

[@Kokomi_Is_worth_more_than_mora]

He talks about Alhaitham a lot

[@omeganoelf.6173]

ohhhh what if after kaveh reached out to alhaitham for the first time in the library, alhaitham was astonished to kaveh and he got interested to him so he also borrowed all of the books that kaveh borrowed to know more about him

[@Vinny_zzz]

[@wibblewobblewoah]

AGHGHGHGGHG HOYO THEY R SO CANON JUST LET THEM BE TOGETHER

[@omeganoelf.6173]

ohhhh what if the clash in personality is actually alhaitham catching feelings for kaveh and then he conffesed it to kaveh so kaveh avoided him since he is incapable of receiving love from other after what happened to him and his family. and he refused the co-ownership of the house because he wants to get away from alhaitham as much as possible and after poverty hit him he was forced to accept alhaitham's help. knowing that alhaitham has feelings for him maybe that is the reson why he is so awkard around him. alhaitham being an introvert doesn't know and doesn't want to show his true feelings to kaveh which why he acts that way

[@_butter.cup_]

highly doubt that first sentence is true. Them being a couple before the huge argument makes more sense since kaveh literally tore his paper to shreds after that 😭

[@unnamed6509]

I don't know if this is sarcasm or if you're being serious, but I'll try to be as friendly as possible! Okay, uhm... when you're an architect (like Kaveh), you're going to make a blue print for your client on how the architecture will look like, and then you show it to your client (that's what you call a proposal), and if the client is satisfied, they'll approve of it. So what Alhaitham was saying is that Kaveh didn't get much approvals from his clients on his first attempts.
