LIA - Writing on the Wall Ver. Alhaitham | First Time REACTION & Analysis

[@BEATRICEENDERES]

I'll be the paragraph person then! So Alhaitham, the character depicting the response to the original version of Will Stetson's 'Writing on the Wall' essentially is Kaveh's (og video's character focus) roommate. Kaveh, as shown in the original video, fell into debt because of his job as an architect. Kaveh's efforts to complete his biggest project, the Palace of Alcazarzaray, landed him in debt as he was forced to pay out of his own pocket to complete it. Alhaitham and Kaveh are often depicted to only be tolerant of each other, as they bicker a lot in the game. Prior to their careers, with Kaveh being an architect and Alhaitham taking a high position in their alma mater, the Akademiya, they were very good friends when they were in school, with Kaveh being Alhaitham's senior. This is why, after Kaveh fell into debt after building what he calls his magnum opus, Alhaitham offers his house for Kaveh to live in until he gets back up on his feet. I think there's been hints that things went sour between them sometime during their school days, but Alhaitham still helped Kaveh during his time of need. Anyways, depsite their seemingly mutual hatred of each other, they actually care about each other a lot. As shown by this video, Alhaitham sees the parts of Kaveh that Kaveh himself tries to hide, and still cares for him despite that. Many people view Alhaitham to be a prickly person that is impossible to talk to, but Kaveh still makes an effort to engage with Alhaitham and forge a relationship with him. I like to think that it's only with each other can they do this, show their true selves without fear or hesitance, since they know everything about each other.

Thanks for reacting to this! But i just wanted to point out that even if their voice is feminine they dont go by she/her pronouns ^^

[@ScribbleTheTalkingSketch]

[@fr3l3s]

You should try to watch the remix! (Kaveh and Alhaitham version remix)

[@TheGreatestMangaLover]

I wish you analyzed the lyrics from both videos and made a side by side comparison, but the sound analysis was on point ^^

[@AKid4U..]

Thank you for putting it on your list ❤

This was a really nice reaction. It was interesting to hear your take on the narrative and the voice also. I think that it would be nice if you reacted to the OG Will Stetson version too

[@sunnysduck123]
