There Is Something About The Mirroring Of How Ei And Nahida Handled Their Respective Harbinger Enemies

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

I saw a theory (more of an idea, really) on Reddit that Kaveh might become the next Grand Sage, and I just wanted to squeal about that for a hot minute.

(And for clarity cos I feel like it'll come up: Kaveh doesn't have any reliable leaks relating to his kit nor his rarity (whether he's a five star or four star), and even if he is a four star he could very well still be super important to Sumeru's chain of authority (see Ningguang and Kujou Sara if you're doubtful)).

Anyway, my squealing:

It actually makes a surprising amount of sense for Kaveh to become the Grand Sage based on quest info alone - Alhaitham says at the end of Act 5 of the archon quest that he "wouldn't be surprised if Kaveh was appointed as a sage":

While his tone sounds sarcastic, Alhaitham is typically quite honest with his words. His deceits always come by omission, not by lying. Of course, Kaveh assumes Alhaitham is being mocking here, but then in Alhaitham's story quest Kaveh says himself that he should have been made Grand Sage over Alhaitham -

So we have examples in both of Kaveh's in game scenes that convey a desire (or, at the very least, a capacity) to be a Sage. These exchanges are rather comedic though, so I think we should take evidence from Nahida herself; specifically, her "About Kaveh" voiceline:

(sorry for the poor quality)

Nahida herself praises Kaveh's understanding of their Nation and of wisdom itself, whereas she admonishes Alhaitham's viewpoint in her corresponding voiceline about him. This implies that Nahida would choose Kaveh over Alhaitham as Grand Sage.

Lore wise we know that Kaveh is an accomplished graduate of the Ksharewar Darshan, widely known and well-liked. He built the Palace of Alcarazy(?) and the NPCs there sing his praises. While his interactions with Alhaitham are goofy, he can evidently keep up with him in debates and in Alhaitham's voicelines he says that Kaveh's intellect is equal to his own.

Also, there is a pattern in the game so far: each non-archon 'leader' or 'authority' has the vision matching their archon. Jean for Mondstadt, Ningguang for Liyue and Sara/Yae for Inazuma (depending on your perspective). It seemed that Alhaitham would fill this role in Sumeru, seeing as he's dendro and did take over as the Acting Grand Sage, similar to Jean's title. However, his time in that position is incredibly short-lived since he resigns at the end of his story quest (well, technically before it even starts). It is likely that "who will be the new Grand Sage?" will be an ongoing plot thread in Sumeru, much like "when will Varka return?" is in Mondstadt.

Since Kaveh is dendro, he would suit this pattern very well.

I also do just love the vibes of what it would mean for his character, and I think it would be very fun for Sumeru to be led by someone so wholeheartedly compassionate for everyone around them. Kaveh loves the arts and cares a lot about other people, so he matches Nahida's vision of Sumeru much better than Alhaitham does. Which isn't to say Alhaitham is cruel or uncaring, but that he is (as he says himself) not suited to the responsibility of leadership.

And, speaking of Alhaitham, the way this would develop their dynamic is actually rather funny. Technically Kaveh would become Alhaitham's boss, but everyone around them would be aware that Alhaitham saved the country and that Kaveh has only received the position because Alhaitham passed it over first. Can you imagine how frustrating that would be for Kaveh? Technically in charge, but with this information looming over everyone's heads?

Since Hoyo does like to keep a certain status quo, especially in voicelines, it's likely that Alhaitham and Kaveh will remain roommates. This still works even if Kaveh is promoted, with four possible explanations:

Kaveh's debt to Dori is so huge that he's financially screwed for life regardless of his salary

Kaveh is so bad with money that even once he's paid off his debt he still fails to save up for his own house

Because technically Alhaitham's house should also belong to him, Kaveh is stubborn and refuses to move out

Alhaitham and Kaveh reconcile/figure themselves out enough that they actually want to live together even if there's no financial incentive to

Also, I cannot overstate how amusing it would be for the Kavetham dynamic shift of Kaveh getting to fuck with Alhaitham a little as payback for all Alhaitham's trolling.

Anyways, this is a theory/hc that I really like, so I hope we don't get a mystery Sumeru character in 4.6 or something that we've never heard of before who gets to become Grand Sage.

RIP to victor frakenstein but if shen qingqiu found out his huge, handsome man-creature was sad and lonely he would simply fold Immediately.

"oh no i have to fuck him now" no one said you have to do that sqq.

Another Haikaveh Fanfic I Want to Read

The Deshret reincarnation one, but the twist is that Alhaitham has known he's Deshret from the time he was tiny. The story isn't about how he regains his tragic lost memories of being the desert king--it's about how he does everything he possibly can to avoid having to do that job again. Forming some grand ambition to achieve power? Nope, not doing that. Seeking the means to overthrow Celestia via forbidden knowledge? I'll pass. Becoming a main character? Absolutely not. Al-Ahmar Al-haitham is going to live a peaceful life this time, thank you. He's going to study a basic subject (his own language), get a basic desk job, find himself a basic little house, and somehow convince the perfect perfectly-mortal guy he went to school with to marry him--

Destiny, of course, finds him anyway. (Really, Rukkha, really?) The Akasha is turned on the people, the sages seize control, and does this upstart baby deity ("Shouki no kami," pffft, like who even are you, kid?) think he actually has a snowball's chance in the Mare Javari with the minds of two of Sumeru's real god-kings set against him?

At least at the end of all this, with the nation of wisdom saved and Kusanali in charge as she is very welcome to be, Alhaitham can still go home and be normal with his Very Normal™ roommate!

("Alhaitham, listen... I know this isn't the best of times, but there's something I've been meaning to tell you. I'm not exactly... who you think I am...")

Saw this theory on twitter about Al’s possible colourblindness when he arrived in hell as a deer demon. I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Hi, Elevator Hitch fandom. Come get y'all juice. :]

Мой отрядец номер раз У меня, честно, есть обоснование, почему они апхахха

Я не хожу в Бездну (почти), так что на урон мне всё равно.

Аяка тут для быстрого передвижения по миру (ибо Моночки нет). Скар прекрасно летает. А Диона спасает его жёпку от подбития в воздухе. А Казах - это мой любимый мальчик. Сыночек мой~ Я не могу не поставить его в отряд (к своему мужу тем более апхахах)

percy jackson as hydro archon.

that’s it.

my grandpas deck has no pathetic cards dottore, but it does have, the unstoppable exodia!

More IHNMAIMS AU YIPPPEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! Ok so erm basically at some point in the timeline BE gets stronger and has this new ability of turning into a giant woman, plus the ability of spawning life at her will. With this, she commences the rebirth of Earth’s nature little by little. In the first drawing I included some inspiration I took for this body and BE overall. I noticed that BE has almost the same dynamic as Mother Nature from Disney’s short film Firebird - Fantasia 2000. She can move across dead landscapes and make nature flourish with just her presence. She can shapeshift back into her original body too (she’s similarly as op as AM, what were you expecting?). I also took inspo on auroras, the thermal colors of the human body, and manta rays for her shape, some stuff I found fitting for some reason. In BE’s programming, the only two things (I have planned so far) that she can’t do is to kill, and to hate. Of course this might change throughout the story…
