Teyvat's "Most Down Bad" Award Goes to Alhaitham for a Second Year Running

Seeing everyone making fun of Alhaitham for his "stalkerish" tendencies in this event is funny, because I feel like a lot of people missed that "Be literally everywhere Kaveh is" has been Alhaitham's MO from the day Kaveh appeared in the game.

From only grabbing his house keys after Kaveh returned from the desert (he couldn't have had both sets of keys at the end of the Archon Quest unless he went home and got Kaveh's copy) to ditching conversations to get back to his house only after Kaveh came home, to showing up without any warning or explanation in Kaveh's hangout with some ridiculous excuse about hearing his voice through noise-cancelling headphones... Refusing to offer any help in the Temple of Silence story quest other than staying in the library with Kaveh...

Since when does Alhaitham willingly cover anyone else's duties?

But this trend of "Be everywhere Kaveh is" didn't start when they were adults. It was already in place when they were still Akademiya students--and it's a trend that didn't end even when they had their fight.

Even when they weren't speaking, Alhaitham dogged Kaveh's every step through published responses to Kaveh's research articles in academic journals. He insisted on keeping a line of communication between himself and Kaveh open, even if the only way to do that was through very public ideological clashes. Pulling Kaveh's pigtails to get his attention lolol. It's implied that, for at least the few years between their fight and Kaveh moving in, this was the only communication between them--Alhaitham's refusal to allow their connection to entirely fade away. (And the fact that this is revealed in Kaveh's character stories--through his precious journal that records the moments of his life that had the most impact on him--shows just how deeply he values the fact that Alhaitham didn't give up.)

Another relevant side note: Alhaitham never asked Kaveh to give up his half of their house. Knowing half of it belonged to Kaveh, knowing that Kaveh may one day want to reclaim his part of it, knowing that it was listed as theirs, Alhaitham moved into the house and made zero effort to change its ownership. He was completely fine with living in "his and Kaveh's house." The stories suggest it was only months later (or even longer) that Kaveh even noticed he had the house, and he transferred away ownership of his portion without Alhaitham ever asking him (or even seemingly wanting him) to do so.

Please, let that sink in. Alhaitham actively left his grandmother's (presumably comfortable) house to move into "his and Kaveh's house," with no apparent explanation for why, and after doing so, he made no attempt to change that "his and Kaveh's" label. He moved into the house with no promise that Kaveh wouldn't show up on the doorstep the very next day and move in too. It almost feels like another deliberate provocation--I've moved into our house, are you going to come stop me? LBR, if Alhaitham had had his way, Kaveh would have been living there with him from Day 1...

There's also the fact that Kaveh literally can't write on a single message board anywhere in the entire nation of Sumeru without Alhaitham hunting his messages down and responding to them (which absolutely no one else does, by the way).

"NUH-UH!" "UH-HUH." "NUH-UH!"

Alhaitham's own character stories tell us explicitly that one of Alhaitham's defining character traits is "He is never where you need him to be," yet somehow...

Shot, and chaser:

Any time Kaveh is in the slightest bit of need or danger or just wants Alhaitham near, Alhaitham is "coincidentally" exactly where Kaveh needs him to be, whenever Kaveh needs him to be there.

Alhaitham didn't just "happen" to run into Kaveh in Port Ormos, an entirely different city from where he was supposed to be working. He didn't just "happen" to read the same terrible book as Kaveh when we know he otherwise would not waste a moment of his time on poorly-written literature...

He didn't just "happen" to appear when Kaveh was upset and needed a distraction in the House of Daena during Kaveh's hangout. He didn't just "happen" to be sitting around waiting when Kaveh needed answers after the Archon Quest. He didn't just "happen" to find Kaveh's academic publications and every single message board posting and respond to them at length and in public.

The only person for whom Alhaitham just "happens" to be available is Kaveh, over and over and over again--because he is very deliberately making himself a constant presence in Kaveh's life.

Which is exactly what Kaveh's mother told Kaveh he needed.

(Like, out of all things, I think people really underestimate the devs deliberately paralleling the romantic relationship between Kaveh's mother and father with Kaveh and Alhaitham's relationship. If you want to point to one thing that says "These two characters are intentionally queer-coded," it doesn't get any more obvious than this.)

Alhaitham, are you not embarrassed to be this transparent??? 🫣

I just want a nibble vi pls

ARCANE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS: 2x08 - “Killing is a Cycle” ↳ "How long were you sidled up with that shifty, self-serving war pig?"

MAJOR SPOILER WARNING!!

HAIKYUU CHAPTER 401

If you haven't read the chapter PLEASE I'm begging you to read it first before you scroll down.

THREE WORDS TO SUM UP THIS CHAPTER:

I AM SOBBING.

The colored pages are magnificent especially when Kageyama blocked and Hinata spiked (then their flashback during the VERY FIRST MATCH TOGETHER.) Kageyama was able to block the spike but Hinata PULLED THIS MOTHERFUCKING STUNT OFF AND I SCREAMED (literally)

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. NINJA SHOYOU ON THE ROLL.

After that Hinata went in and dashed on the other side of the court to do a "quick set" but turns out HE WAS THE DECOY. Bokuto swept in and did a POWERFUL SPIKE.

BOKUTO YOU ARE DOING GREAT SWEETIE.

BLACK JACKALS WON BECAUSE HINATA WAS ABLE TO ACCEPT AND UTILIZE HIS GREATEST SKILL WHICH IS TO BECOME THE DECOY.

Remember during Season 1 Hinata didn't want to be labelled as decoy because it wasn't as cool as wing spiker or ace? Hinata developed his character and ACCEPTED being the decoy which his the GREATEST WEAPON because he was able to OPEN AN OPPORTUNITY to other spikers.

Also, Kageyama can tell that Hinata was used as decoy. He was able to see it before his teammates did, why? BECAUSE HE IS THE FIRST ONE WHO SAW HINATA'S POTENTIAL AS A DECOY (refer to season 1 when Kageyama & Daichi are talking about what position Hinata will play on their practice match against Aoba Johsai.)

LOOK AT HOW HAPPY THEY ARE.

Hinata was overjoyed because he FINALLY won against Kageyama and it's CLEAR that Kageyama doesn't have bitter feelings towards his loss.

YOU CAN SEE THAT PROUD GRIN ON HIS FACE.

I HONESTLY LOVE KAGEYAMA'S DEVELOPMENT TOO. My heart can't handle all of these feels.

BLACK JACKALS WON with the score of:

Set 4: BJ 26 - Adlers 24

Remember during Season 4 Episode 1 when Kageyama said: "I'm heading first." And Hinata that time felt left behind from everyone who are walking steps ahead of him? Getting opportunities? Invited to youth teams? When everyone ONLY sees Hinata's potential with Kageyama?

Hinata proved them wrong.

Hinata forged his OWN PATH.

And he is finally on the same stage as Kageyama. That's why this moment is INCREDIBLELY SIGNIFICANT in the entire series, because Hinata always felt the tall wall looming over him but now HE BROKE THE WALL. Standing on the same court against all odds.

FUCKING GOOSEBUMPS MAN. I felt it.

I've seen so many headcanons and fanart with this moment BUT HOLY SHIT IT IS REALLY CANON.

Romeo and Hinata speaking in Portuguese and introducing his 5 year old son Ruben to Hinata. Look how overjoyed Hinata is, my heart really swelled in this moment *grabs tissues*

We all know that Tenma Udai (aka Little Giant) is a mangaka. After watching BJ VS Adlers match, you can see it in his eyes he is inspired to make a manga based off this volleyball match. Similar to Furudate who used to play volleyball (his position is middle blocker during Junior High.)

I MEAN HOLY SHIT. does that mean Udai is the Furudate of the series? YOU CAN SEE THAT UDAI IS PUMPED AS HELL TO PREPARE FOR HIS NEXT SERIES. ATTA BOY.

ALSO THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR...

KUROO TETSURO IS BACK.

HE IS OFFICIALLY BACK AND HE LOOKS SO GOOD WITH HIS SUIT ON AND THAT NASTY CAT LIKE GRIN ON HIS FACE.

Also, I'm glad his hair still looks that same. Kuroo won't be "Kuroo" without his rooster hair cut. I love that man.

Kageyama, Kindaichi, and Kunimi reunion?

I CRIED. LEGIT TEARS FELL DOWN ON MY EYES WHILE READING IT.

Kageyama looks SO FUCKING HAPPY to see his middle school teammates. I MEAN LOOK AT THAT BIG GRIN ON HIS FACE WHILE TALKING TO THEM.

THIS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IS OFF THE CHARTS.

This moment just tugged my heart strings man, all Karasuno first year's are FINALLY reunited.

You can clearly see Tsukkishima said something salty towards Kageyama and Hinata at the middle saying something stupid or trying to make peace. (What do you think Tsukki said? I bet he said something like "Oh the King is finally defeated." Or something related to that. We all love salty Tsukki.)

LOOK AT YAMAGUCHI AND YACHI'S CUTE SMILES. How adorable.

This moment I legit teared up AGAIN. Seeing them together in the same stage in the SAME team for Tokyo 2021 Olympics wearing the OFFICIAL team Japan uniforms with their former Karasuno jersey numbers.

My skin is cleared. My lifespan has increased by 10 years. My happiness is off the charts when I saw this GLORIOUS PANEL.

The reunion of the freak duo quick, standing up against the world.

My heart is soaring while looking at this, look at where they are now. The greatest rival, greatest opponent, now become the greatest ally.

Next week will be the FINAL chapter of Haikyuu (Chapter 402) I have a feeling that Oikawa will show up in the next chapter (also the next chapter will be released on July 20 same birthday as Oikawa's)

Remember during Brazil when Oikawa said "I'm going to defeat everyone!" My theory is that Haikyuu will end on that note, an open ending for us readers to interpret if Oikawa will really beat them or not. (Maybe a panel of Oikawa preparing to do a jump serve and his banner "Rule the Court")

I've been a fan of Haikyuu for a long time already and I've consistently read the manga for years. I feel bittersweet that Haikyuu will end next week but I'm happy that Furudate always continues to surprise us with his amazing storyline, beautiful art, and characters that really grapple our hearts. I'm certain that the next and final chapter will exceed our expectations.

Person A: *hugs Person B tightly*

Person B: I can't breathe.

Person A: Good. That's how I felt without you.
