Sorta Interesting Thing I Noticed While Reading Kavetham / Haiveh Fanfiction Is That The Most Popular

Sorta interesting thing I noticed while reading Kavetham / haiveh fanfiction is that the most popular fanon seems to be that Kaveh is into make-up and has a whole beauty/skincare routine, but -

If you look at their faces, Al Haitham is the one obviously wearing make up? Like he has his peachy eye shadow situation and the same liner Kaveh has. Kaveh does have more pronounced eyelashes (mascara maybe?) but Al Haitham is definitely also wearing some make up, if not more make up.

I sorta like the idea that Kaveh, distractible architect extraordinaire, has the same insomnia I do and so doesn't get out of bed until the last minute before leaving. So he actually never plans time to do complex make up, if any at all, and his hair is stuck with a million clips and no sense of cohesion. His shirt is half unbuttoned cos he literally walked out of the door still pulling it on.

In contrast, Al Haitham has his life (and morning routine) in order, so he has time for a splash of eye shadow in the morning. He's very efficient and bare-bones about it, just a couple of products to look a little more presentable, but it's there. And ofc looking good is important when you're so recognisable.

wildly unpopular opinion maybe, but every time i see something about jason "moving on" or "getting better," it just pushes me further in the opposite direction & i want him to go even more off the deep end. going back to being a weird little anti-hero isn't enough anymore. we have to balance the scales. he needs to start burning down buildings for fun. start framing heroes for his crimes for literally no reason. start eating people again. brothers in blood 2

They bounce around in my brain like the dvd waiting screen

he’s a lying liar who lies

You go through the Sumeru Archon quests thinking Alhaitham is a huge nerd because he brings a book to read in his spare time everywhere he goes...

...then you finish the Sumeru Archon quests and that one NPC outside the library tells you that physical books haven't even been in regular use in Sumeru because everyone has been using their Akasha Terminal instead.

This man is bringing books to read when books aren't even really a thing in Sumeru to begin with.

Nerd. (Affectionately, of course.)

NERDS…
