Another divine twitch chat Au? Another divine twitch chat Au. With a bit of a twist. 

Billy would like to say it is in fact not his fault. It’s really not. Who hits someone with magic they obviously don’t know how to use? Well okay maybe he had done that before, but it’s not like he ever did it around other people where they could get hit! 

But someone was an idiot and now he’s here, as his normal ten-year old self kicking his legs while sitting in the Watchtower as the others argued. Apparently the League thinks he’s been de-aged, which is good as his secret isn’t out. 

The uh, issue is that something about the spell might have um, partially manifested the gods- or as he called them the Mediterranean Magic Men, if only because of how annoyed it made Zeus. Now everyone can see the chat that’s usually only visible to him and apparently it’s concerning. 

He doesn’t see how it’s an issue, Zeus has been silenced for the next hour and Hercules has been dying of laughter for the last three. Oh, wait, it might be from Mercury’s constant attempted flirting with Flash. …Or the fact they’re trying to convince him to commit a crime and he’s honestly down for doing so seeing as he’s a homeless ten year old who is down for getting clairvoyance and super speed for the next thirty minutes in exchange…

Alhaitham and Kaveh as each other's 'home'

(This is a reworked excerpt taken from my Haikaveh essay! If you're interested you can check it out here or as a pdf <3)

Family is an important theme, particularly in regard to Kaveh, as the reason for his guilt is based upon his belief that he destroyed his own family. For Kaveh, family – home – is a place in which “words [are] not necessary” since companionship is valued above all:

Family is also important for Alhaitham, however, as there is a particular focus on the relationship between him and his late grandmother within his character stories, as her influence over him incentivised him to pursue the “peaceful” way of life he seeks to maintain:

After the death of his grandmother, Alhaitham lived alone and attended the Akademiya, just as Kaveh did as his mother left for Fontaine after his enrolment. Kaveh’s loss of family leads directly into him meeting Alhaitham. This establishes a direct correlation between Alhaitham and family, indicating that Alhaitham filled a role recently lacking in Kaveh’s life. This is relevant to Alhaitham, as he had enrolled in the Akademiya after the passing of his grandmother, meaning that, similar to Kaveh, he, too, had no family.

The idea of found family, as in, a tightly knit support network built with mutual sentiment between unrelated people, is introduced in Sumeru as the joint-thesis. Academic family is highly valued amongst scholars and comes into fruition through the working together on projects. This can be observed within the dynamic between Tighnari, Cyno, and Collei, as during the Windblume event, they describe themselves as a family formed outside of academia, even assigning themselves titles akin to a real biological family.

Alhaitham and Kaveh then established this found family in each other upon working together on a joint thesis, although additional scholars initially worked with them before dropping out. Their argument culminated in Kaveh ripping up their thesis, which effectively ended their friendship, and familial bond, made mutual by Alhaitham removing his name from the project. Kaveh, however,  is described to have pieced the thesis cover back together with “deep regret”, and placed it in his old sketchbook.

In this, Kaveh regrets the loss of his connection with Alhaitham, and the family that their joint thesis established. Although he has pieced together the thesis cover, their family remains severed as reconciliation is perceived as implausible due to their differences:

Most notably, it is the building which serves as Alhaitham’s house which is crucial to the motif of home. Due to their combined efforts in their joint thesis, the Akademiya gifted the two a research centre, as the results of their thesis had significant impact despite not being completed. When Alhaitham took up the property after graduation, he heard through a third-party, sent by Kaveh, that Kaveh was relinquishing rights of the property due to him not being in need of a house. It was after this that Alhaitham invested in the property, converting it into a house, where he took up residence, and then invited Kaveh to live with him, after the two met in the tavern. Although it is understood to be Alhaitham’s property, since Kaveh relinquished his right to it, Alhaitham considers Kaveh to be his “roommate” rather than a tenant, despite Kaveh paying rent.

Kaveh and Alhaitham split the chores according to Alhaitham’s Character Story, although they mostly fall to Kaveh; they both make attempts to decorate the house; presumably they eat dinner together, according to Alhaitham’s Story Quest where he excuses himself in order to have dinner, only to talk to Kaveh; the two can be seen to share a study; when ordering out, Kaveh orders extra for Alhaitham – a common enough occurrence for Alhaitham to be confident in relying on this. Rather than “cold” and “lonely” this conjures the image of warmth and familiarity. In this, it can be inferred that the two have created a home together.

Referring back to Kaveh’s understanding of “home”, as in a place in which words are not necessary, and linking it to the idea of companionship being more important than understanding introduced in his hangout. The latter idea consists of supporting a person, regardless of the ability to empathise with and relate to their particular struggles, should be valued over attempting to be wholly understood by people who are not willing to listen.

In this, Alhaitham is offered as a companion to Kaveh, where he cannot empathise with Kaveh’s artistic and idealistic struggles, but he is willing to listen to him, rather than offering words which cannot solve Kaveh’s particular problems.

By Kaveh’s understanding of “home” as a place in which people are at ease with each other and support another regardless, this can be seen within his relationship with Alhaitham. As Kaveh has pieced together their ripped up thesis cover with “deep regret” of what it symbolises, the severance of his and Alhaitham’s relationship, Alhaitham inviting Kaveh to live with him serves as mirroring actions of reconciliation.

Kaveh's idea of 'home' in encapsulated in both the building and the company Alhaitham provides. The building that had initially served as a physical representation of their severed harmony of ideals, aborted friendship and dissolved found family, has been transformed into a house, and now a home for the two to share.

Thomas Sharpe was not a bad guy and also Lucille was the bitch that kill her own brother. Like yeah the incest thing was wrong and mess up but Thomas made poor choices but in the end he wanted to save Edith. I honestly feel that Thomas loved Edith just like she loved him.

He. He was an accessory to murder, my guy. He made the first pot of tea for Edith, even- Lucille didn't have a gun to his head. He also chose her for the Bluebeard plot even though Lucille tried to dissuade him; what did he think was going to happen, dragging her into that? (IMO, he didn't think. He's used to getting what he wants and having Everything Work Out with a minimum of effort on his part. That's because what he wanted and what Lucille wanted have never really clashed before, but he doesn't realize that.)

And I DO think he loves Edith, to be clear. But his love isn't one of self-sacrifice the way Lucille's is. He's always been the one who takes while she gives, endlessly; without meaning to, necessarily, he's a leech on Lucille's side. You can make the argument that it's a learned dependence, and I'll happily find that an interesting narrative thread to pull on, but theirs is a symbiotically toxic relationship to me- however it got that way. The ways they hurt each other are not one-sided. So that's the only way he knows how to love. Charming and solicitous and effusive- and utterly unable to conceive of doing anything but exactly what he wants.

His love hurts Edith just as surely as it hurts Lucille, and as Lucille's hurts him. If he didn't love Edith, she'd have been better off and none of this would have happened.

(I also think Lucille loves Edith, which means Edith was really screwed from the beginning.)

But like. My AO3 account has reasons 1-14 why I'm not a great person to have this argument with, and that's not including my bookmarks. You do you and I'll do me, and we will eventually block each other to avoid seeing each other's CPeak posts in the tags. Peace and love on planet Earth.

it's gonna be so difficult to hate Alan. how am I supposed to be neutral about him 😩 its hard being a First K. stan these days.

This is probably the number one most awkward thing to ever say on a date with someone, tbh.

@ anon

Sat with my dad and watching him explain some of the most horrific, grisly, life-threatening injuries a cyclist had gotten with the calmest look on his face

ideas: i didn't really think of him being underwater but they deserve to have drama by crying there too so i just think you could say something about the composition being denser than water or w/e. proteins

i'm always like good thing he didn't try to exit asap via swimming in ciao alberto But What If He Did lol. just swim Somewhere else along the coast, maybe panic about [money??] & whether somehow this ruins school for luca, whether he can get in touch w/o it being On Sight b/w him & all marcovaldos, consider just kind of trying out other places, traveling after all...fascinating considering the other povs on the issue like: now there's the paguros to sympathize w/a kid vanishing, luca however in a somewhat more novel position there, giulia's throwback to alberto being a bit perplexing lmao, kind of thinking the best massimo could do is have a prewritten letter for luca to give to alberto If Possible, conveying something like i know you didn't set my livelihood on fire on purpose but even if you did i'd want you to stay. and luca in a position to do all of "maybe give the island fun facts so someone can check if he's there" & "wait & hope alberto can/does get in touch" & "have a lot of feelings"....not even the context of what this drawing is about necessarily, just tacking it on here anyways. ahead of time i went "heh now i Know they're gonna have it get little Real here b/c it's really about alberto wanting the security of feeling he can 'earn' a sustained relationship" then the short cleared & i was lying completely dead on the pavement

at the risk of sounding butthurt for talking about not being butthurt: going through quals really prepared me for trawling through fandom meta and research while keeping my zen

Can you imagine being an average Fire Nation soldier during the attack on the northern water benders?

It's cold, and you don't wanna be here, but you know the drill by this point: fire lord won't let you go home until you do the terrible things he's ordered.

And that's bad enough, but minutes into the battle the moon turns blood red and people start yelling something about how your boss killed the moon spirit?? And shit, you Did Not sign up for that level of unhinged nonsense.

But at least nobody's throwing ice spikes at you anymore, because they can't water bend. That's something.

But just as you're starting to appreciate the absence of water bending attacks coming at your face, a 20-story fucking WATER KAIJU shows up and starts eating your friends.

You're pretty sure you saw the crown prince run by at some point too, but at that point you're beyond noticing things and WAY beyond caring or reacting.

If you're lucky the water benders find you shivering in a cupboard the next morning and agree to never send you back if you're very good and only use your fire bending for cooking and when it's really, really cold outside.

They're talking about luigi.

I mean...GIRL
