Alhaitham and Kaveh-related story lore and theories (II)

len @isralennt

I don't think Alhaitham is a jealous person. In fact, the lack of jealous reactions would probably prompt others to wonder if he's that unemotional. He'd probably want to discuss a problem if something is wrong and trust the other person in the relationship.

len @isralennt

I'm thinking more now about how interesting it might be if Kaveh's parents and Alhaitham's parents might have been friends or close acquaitances in the Akademiya together ((their parents' pasts intrigue me a lot since the family shapes a child's values and beliefs... twitter.com/isralennt/stat…

len @isralennt

Wondering if his parents were Akademiya sweethearts, maybe rivals who met because they had to work on a project together, and his mother criticized the way that his father translated some of the ancient poetry found in Deshret's ruins, complaining he ruined the beauty of words..

I have a little thought that since they are mirrors: Alhaitham looked like his mother, beautiful as a flower, but his calm temperament was like his father's. While Kaveh looked like his father, bright as the dawn, but his sensitive nature was like his mother's.

len @isralennt

Going back to some of my earlier thoughts on Kaveh and after reading his lore, it feels like a sort of character prediction but it wasn't that unclear he'd become this. This is why Alhaitham is here to hold his balloon-string before he bobs off somewhere again ((and deflates twitter.com/isralennt/stat…

len @isralennt

he listens little; he trots off, on a passionate trajectory somewhere, and falls down hard, his endless creativity, his thousands of days of thousand bold ideas are so admirable yet if there's no one to hold his hand as he bobs along, he would glide like an aimless balloon;

working with Hai and Kav's models is amusing especially when I see Alhaitham's curled-toe boots with holes (no wonder sand gets in) for his model's feet and Kaveh's big flat shoes which are really made for walking on soft sandy grounds pic.twitter.com/aqlO3X57E5

The most ironical belt pouch name, did Alhaitham name all his belongings in an odd way? - The Rational's clothes - The Doer's belt pouch ((does this man have a habit of naming his stuff? ...is that why "the Light of Kshahrewar"? 😭 pic.twitter.com/MKEdcKbCY2 twitter.com/isralennt/stat…

Alhaitham's belt pouch has : 1. keys 2. A book he's currently reading 3. His portable music player and the headphones and music player were personally made by him when he became the scribe. This got me thinking why not Kshahrewar? Why was he a Haravatat? pic.twitter.com/WTW5K7iBn6

I just had an afterthought about my own ramblings and truly Alhaitham's principles in life may have reflected muchly from his grandmother's values, her reminders and her advice.

len @isralennt

Some thoughts - that the CN line in Alhaitham's lore about Kaveh is still unclear whether Kaveh completely lost his family just like Alhaitham, or that he may still have a person (which makes it more tragic) ...I wonder if this truly drew to each other for the same reason?

Recently, I saw a discussion about how Alhaitham's EN voice-line made him seem like a mean person towards Kaveh, and the CN TL is "softer" in approach? But when I compare both, there's not much of a difference. Both EN and CN are correct. pic.twitter.com/jJnBdti2Oc

From Alhaitham's Character Story 4 So, Kaveh rejected the shared reward of the house (currently Alhaitham's house) because he told Alhaitham and the Akademiya he already has a place to live (this bit of extra information is from the CN version, the EN version didn't mention it⬇️ pic.twitter.com/EyZzMxCpB2

now I've read Alhaitham's Character Story 5... I'm actually thinking his grandmother was his first friend, and Kaveh probably his second friend but the clash was not due to Alhaitham's inability to keep a friendship, but likely conflict in values that led to falling out.

thinking of whether Haitham ever had any photographs with him and his grandma, maybe grandma had shown his photographs of his parents to him too; his father was in Haravatat, and his mother in Vahumana, I can see perhaps they both loved ancient ruins explorations...

🏛️🌱 looking at how chaotic Alhaitham is with his belongings, I think he's actually the one who kicks Kaveh off the bed, while Kaveh is the one who sleeps without moving unless he's drunk, then he's the one kicking Alhaitham out of the bed...

I think Kaveh likes to sit here and muse about his blueprints. And since there are two cushions, Haitham can sit next to him and read books. Wondering if they share the Kamera, or is it kaveh who enjoys taking pictures... pic.twitter.com/M2kQyI3tIA

It's funny how Haitham can't resist snarking back at Kaveh yet doing what Kaveh wants. He wants to buy furniture together, to be treated with drinks, and Kaveh's so unfazed each time Haitham snarks back at him because he knows Haitham will do what he wants in the end. pic.twitter.com/LOR92T77TM

Alhaitham offers his rooms to Kaveh, picks up the tab, spends time (and dinner) debating with his senior, and lets Kaveh do his projects through the night even when he can't sleep properly - hardship? I think not. Heartship, maybe because why would he go against his own adage?
