Okay so this might be a little bit Out of Character, and very much “He would not fucking say that” but could you imagine if Kaveh was the kind of guy to just go “Huh. Wild.” at like the oddest shit. Like his standards for what is “normal” is so fucking skewed mostly because it’s Alhaitham’s fault but also this guy has a float suitcase from ancient tech. He’s broke. He has no more sanity left.
So just imagine, that Alhaitham comes back from a trip from the desert haunted and looks directly at Kaveh and says “I think I might be the reincarnation of King Deshret.”
And Kaveh, who at this point, has been dealing with Alhaitham’s bullshit for too long now, just goes “Huh. Wild. What does that have to do with me though?” and just returns to his sketching or whatever.
And so whilst his roommate has his whole “Am I a God Reborn or am I Overthinking This?” crisis with like the Sumeru Revolution team or something Kaveh’s over there, sitting on the couch, watching all of this and saying “Well at least he’s socialising”
I still find it really funny that Scara got forcefully admitted to the akademiya just because of his natural need to be right about everything
Broke: Dr Ratio and Alhaitham would get along
Woke: Dr Ratio and Alhaitham would hate each other for being ‘exceptionally arrogant’
Bespoke: Ruan Mei and Dottore are the real crossover academia duo that we should be talking about
Okay so I redesigned my redesign of AM to make it fit more on the AU + I need him to look as miserable as a sock vomited by a dog. Also included very vague concept art for some scenes, I’m not the best at landscapes.
Regarding my OC’s dynamic with AM, I’m still figuring out some stuff but I made this to put it simply
“Why do you keep repeating this name, guys?”
My headcanon is that Venti doesn’t remember Rukkhadevata, but his winds do.
I mean, she existed and people were talking about her, but after they just forgot about her. However, people’s words are remembered by winds of time.
And we know that Venti can summon winds of the past, even if he didn’t hear personally some words, he still can find them in his winds.
I believe he forgot about her as well, but still knows about her and the whole situation, because his winds tell him that. Those sneaky bitches.
His salvation
I find it oddly funny that like
Wanderer obv isn't a good person, he commited many atrocities and he's still being a little bitch (good for him)
But when I see his little web event thingy where he's just vibing with Sumeru flora and fauna, I can't help but think about that one line that Timmy, my poor little pigeon loving fella, says
I think he says something like "Animals won't be afraid of you if you truly are a good person"
And animals seem to fucking love Scara
Little bird just sitting on his hat and his shoulder, it even stuck around after Wanderer just beat the shit outta Fatui dudes
He also just vibes with aranaras (Scaranara real) and aranaras don't hide from him for some reason??? They even give him their food to eat, which is weirdly wholesome
Like aranaras usually hide themselves from people, and the only people who are able to see them are usually kids
So it's weird to see them being unafraid of Scara, of all people
And here Wanderer just... Sits there, and he's smiling, surrounded by nature!!! (And one of the few times where he actually smiles, seeming content with himself (Again, good for him))
Like... Bitch this is Disney Princess behavior!!!
I don't really have a conslusion tbh I just think it's funny for a seemingly horrible person like Wanderer to be so in tune with nature
a happy reunion
Rody, Vincent // Thoughts on S/O
Notes// I've got these random brainrots like, if reader has to play this game connected to the deadplate game in the pov of a journalist to solve some kind of case related to Manon's disappearance-- so Rody and Vincent would be having npcs with extra dialogue lines that talk about their s/o(Y/N, not manon). The other idea of us playing in the pov as the s/o(separate) would be interesting too.
Rody//
•NPC!Rody can be seen walking and catering patrons with a friendly smile. He was wearing roller skates as he often has his hands busy with dish plates during his work shift.
•If you stay long enough to shift restaurant, there is a chance he would stutter his performance a bit as his arms tremble to keep the plates from not falling in his hands.
•When talking to him, his speech is usually rush as he has to shift from one corner of the restaurant to the other, his eyes everywhere as he rambles on yet keeping a friendly aura through his firm smile.
•"Hello- welcome to La Gueule le Saturne! Allow me to guide you to the right table. "
•"Yes? Please stay seated for the mean time, I'll be right back with you soon!"
•"Would you like to order?"
•(asked about S/O) "Oh- Oh? My lover?" *sheepish smile with a goofy blush suddenly* "They're doing great." *easily goes back to work*
•Whether as a coworker or customer. One thing clear is that you're a bit closer enough to know Rody's S/O's name.
•"We can talk later!"
•"What's up? Need a hand?"
•"Uh--- can you take care of the other tables? Thanks!"
•"mmm... I wonder what kinds of flowers I should give for Y/N this time?" *dozing off in the kitchen for a moment *
•(When asked about S/O) "Y/N are at home, and they are taking care of our apartment.. If only i can convince them.to to move a finger.. God, they're so wonderful-- Oh, excuse me." *catches almost getting too deep into the topic before trying to quickly go back to work*
Internal Thoughts//
I love Y/N... I must work hard for them. Without them, I'll be nothing... So I have to do more than my best to give them the love and care they need! I must please them. I must serve them... Well, even if it's too much.. I'm willing to give them everything... my everything.
I promise them a brighter future... where we don't have to worry about money and bills. I just need to earn and save more.
This journalist keeps coming over pretty often--- I wonder what they are looking for? Why are they so curious of my honey? I need to keep them safe from unwanted attention - I'll just try and answer briefly as possible.
___
Vincent//
•Usually you'll see NPC!Vincent in the corner watching the cooks work to check for perfection. No matter how early you are, it's already clear that he's the boss. The one who is the first person to open the restaurant
•Day 4, you can find him walking to the dumpster area to smoke in his break.
•When interacting with him. He'll show a polite, charismatic persona when talking to you as a visitor or patron.
•"Good day, what may I help you..?" *fake smile*
•"Hello, are there any problems with a dish you have ordered? We can try and fix something to recompensate it."
•"Looking for me...?"
•"Oh- may I ask what you are doing here, Monsieur/Mademoiselle? Rody should have informed me about you coming here -"
• (When asked about S/O) "Mm... About my fiancé? They're doing well, thank you for asking." *maintaing a fake smile*
•If you happened to end up working for him as a waiter or cook, his demeanor would probably be a different story.
•"..."
•"What do you need?"
•"......"
•"Why are you still here? You better not try chit-chats on me."
•"...What?"
•(When asked about s/o) "S/O? They're at work. Any business with them? I can let them know on your behalf with anything you need to inform later. Just go back to work."
Internal Thoughts//
I keep mentioning Y/N as "my fiancé " through the press and the public. In reality, We're not officially engaged, but I like the sound of it, and i do it so no one can bother to make advancements on me - I need to be seen as... royally taken.
The journalist keeps asking questions to me... even having the audacity to press on matters related to my Y/N. If they know what really happened to Manon, I must make a backup plan...
And do not fret, mon cher. I'll soon place a real ring on that pretty finger on yours... Once the evidence needs to be rid of from anyone's reach.
percy jackson as hydro archon.
that’s it.
