there's a "common merfolk companion" chapter, to which eric writes "max is my human companion" in the margin. the chapter goes on to describe animal companions and the typical personality of their merfolk.

eric has notes by two of them, one of them being the otter, which is described as: "the playful and frisky otter is not for the shy and timid merperson. instead, otters are a good fit for a merperson who has just as much energy and zest for life. they enjoy cuddling and hand-holding and like to be cradled, requiring much attention and doting upon. another disadvantage to the otter, despite how cozy and fluffy, it that they are awfully chatty and a bit reckless, pulling off pranks such as stealing precious shells and cracking them open with rocks at the surface." (eric writes "if i were a merperson, i'd pick the otter. they sound fun!)

the second animal he notes is the whale: "for the merperson craving knowledge, worldly insight, and wisdom beyond their years, a whale to glide beside is a satisfactory choice. the whale is a most revered comrade for its unmatched size, slow and steady cadence, and serene demeanor, including the calming song it croons and the fizzing footprint it leaves on the surface. the whale acts as protector against threats and provides cover with its enormous barnacles encrusted flanks. the merperson can also ride it." to which eric notes (i suppose i spoke too soon. i'd pick the whale)

#I LOVE THAT THEY BOTH APPLY TO HIM <3 #he's a reckless and chatty guy with a zest for life but also a person craving knowledge worldly insight and wisdom!!!#hes got layers

watching LOTR again and the dichotomy of Aragorn is still amazing to me, he's all quiet and noble and honourable and soft-spoken and he sings and recites poetry, just keeps to himself, doesn't want any trouble, doesn't bother anybody... and then there's a fight and he just goes absolutely feral, he charges straight to the front line and he's yelling battle cries and using every single one of his seventy-three weapons he carries and throwing himself at his enemies without any regard for risks or odds or personal or public safety

then after the battle he very calmly cleans his sword and sits down in a qiuet spot and takes out his notebook so he can finish composing his sonnet

he's completely unhinged and I love him so much

#aragorn #lotr #this is why he's my fave #he's got LAYERS #and half of them are pure chaos #he is pure chaos

no thoughts just comparing the deliberate parallels between the concerned comments layla, faruzan and paimon make to kaveh which are used to contextualise alhaitham’s comments to kaveh during a parade of providence

In the desert, layla who previously had issues with dealing with anxieties, received dubious advice from kaveh about equating worries to that of a sickness for that which is no cure, therefore you have to let its run its course

Layla reveals that this advice isn’t suitable for her, since the cause for her anxiety was solely because she didn’t have a clear goal for herself. She states that therefore, if this advice is something kaveh adheres to, then this is ultimately worse for him, as kaveh claims to have a set goal - as in, he wants to win the interdarshan chanpionship.

She notes that kaveh seems conflicted, and that this could stem from some inner sadness which he suppresses with a façade of happiness.

This points to kaveh’s internal conflict being between that of his guilt complex brought about by his perceived involvement in his father’s passing, and his genuine desire to help others at the cost of himself. Kaveh cannot balance the two in ways that will allow him to prioritise his own needs and desires

Kaveh’s internal conflict is pointed out later on in the same quest by Faruzan, who highlights kaveh’s title as a genius being incongruous with his problem solving abilities after kaveh passes out in the desert due to giving his food and water to the disturbed foxes and going out of his way to lead them to safety, putting himself at risk and jeopardising his place in the competition

However, Kaveh states that his title of a genius has nothing to do with this situation, and although he admits it wasn’t the most practical solution, it was dually his conscience that ultimately caused him to act and perceivably the guilt that would come from not attempting to help

After the second round comes to a close and faruzan inadvertently informs alhaitham of kaveh’s “tribulations”, the player gets to hear alhaitham’s reactions to kaveh’s decision through kaveh, as kaveh and alhaitham have discussed the events in the desert offscreen

Paimon points out that this is definitely ‘something’ alhaitham would say due to the blunt manner of speaking and the dryness of his words - this contextualises how kaveh receives them, as personal goading

When looking past this and focussing on alhaitham’s actual words, the real meaning can be found, and it is even a point in this scene that paimon offers the exact same comments, drawing direct parallels between her and alhaitham’s words, and therefore establishing the same concerns

Alhaitham points out kaveh’s unreliable problem solving abilities being incongruous with his title as a senior - directly paralleling faruzan’s comments in which she highlighted how kaveh’s decision making abilities were at odds with his title as a genius

As well as this, alhaitham alludes to kaveh’s guilt complex being the reason why he exerts himself for others at his own expense - which is a point that the traveller and paimon directly follow up on

Kaveh responds to their questioning amicably despite the sensitive nature of the conversation, just as he did when faruzan pointed out kaveh’s problematical decision making, and this is because of their apparent concern rather than actively seeking offence, with paimon protesting when kaveh asks: “don’t tell me you think i have serious personality flaws, too?” With the ‘too’ clearly referencing alhaitham and the conversation the two had prior to the traveller and paimon turning up

Kaveh can understand the concern in others’ words when they question his problem solving skills and the sense of his inner conflict stemming from guilt, however, when alhaitham makes the same comments, kaveh sees this as a form on animosity and personal critique

Because of alhaitham’s manner of communication and kaveh’s apparent distrust of alhaitham, the two cannot reach a mutual understanding - despite alhaitham expressing the same concerns as three separate characters within this quest

It is telling then that when kaveh gleans an otherwise unseen meaning in alhaitham’s words is when alhaitham changes his method of communication and directly, and intimately, addresses kaveh by using a script that only the two are privy to

Kaveh still doesn’t wholly understand alhaitham’s meaning, but the switch up in communication method is enough for kaveh to question alhaitham’s sincerity and not attribute it to alhaitham mocking him

Kaveh continues questioning the cause for this throughout the remainder of the event, being seen to question why alhaitham left the notes for him and whether if it was a coincidence or not. He concludes that it wasn’t a coincidence and then states “then…”, inferably questioning why alhaitham left the notes for him and what the meaning of his words were, in a script only kaveh would understand. Additionally, kaveh mentions wanting to ask alhaitham what the meaning of his notes were when at dinner after the closing of the interdarshan championship, as the uncertain meaning of his words has seemingly left a profound effect on him

Alhaitham changing his manner of communication, which kaveh usually perceives as negative, causes kaveh to question alhaitham’s sincerity, and therefore causes doubt in whether alhaitham is patronising him or not. This in turn can cast obscurity over kaveh’s assertion that alhaitham holds “disdain” for him due to Alhaitham’s expression of concern which kaveh cannot perceive due to the abrasiveness of his words. Alhaitham conveying his concern in a roundabout way only allows for kaveh to misinterpret him, which kaveh perceives as “disdain”.

A parade of providence establishes the cause for the rift in alhaitham and kaveh’s relationship mainly to be perpetual misunderstanding in communication, and sets out to propose a solution being that a change of communication.

By using a language that only the two of them know shows that for kaveh to fully understand his meaning, alhaitham must meet kaveh on his own terms when it comes to communication - the two must be on equal and frank level. this could allow a potential rebuilding of intimacy the two once shared when initially learning the language, and thus overcome the idea of “mutual disdain” which kaveh asserts due to his fundamental misunderstanding of alhaitham which alhaitham seems to reinforce with his typical language

(Update: For more analyses like this, the essay this is taken from is now uploaded! It can be accessed here and here as as a pdf <3)

#haikaveh #kavetham #alhaitham #kaveh #a parade of providence #okay this is a condensed point from The Essay so yes there are several layers missing #i will talk about kavehs altruism and alhaithams egoism i promise!!#also i just think its interesting that kaveh and alhaithams arc in this event centres around miscommunication and understanding #not that the two should empathise with each other but that they should embrace and accept their differences #as in they should ultimately be companions to one another #kaveh’s hangout is PIVOTAL to this!!#which is why i stand firm in the belief that a parade of providence is kaveh’s story quest #also forever thinking about kaveh being fixated on that gay ass note #fellas is it gay to share notes in a language only the two of you know?#and how he finally got to ask alhaitham at the end of the event once alhaitham set out to find him after returning from the desert #of which he only went to in the first place for kavehs sake #im chewing my teeth

Nicky's fanon personality is so interesting to me becuase when you actually read the books he just... not like that. He isn't a pure cinnamon roll! He's a chaotic asshole yall! He loves messing with people for the drama! Man hated Allison and Seth and he took every opportunity to fuck with them and he did it with a smile! And deadass Nicky only cried once during the whole series and it wasn't even on page! He was dramatic and sociable and more willing to be friendly than some of the others but he could also be an asshole when he felt like it! He's obnoxious as hell! He's literally that guy who can't shut the fuck up about his semester abroad! He was lumped in as one of the monsters for a reason! Mischaracterized king

#he's dramatic and he's fun but he's actually not that sweet and sincere #come to think of it I'm not sure it was even heavily implied that he cried i think i just assumed that he did after Thanksgiving #anyways end the dumb two dimensional twink version of nicky 2k23 #he's got LAYERS baby!!!#aftg #nicky hemmick #all for the game #the foxhole court #the raven king #also i do absolutely think allison and nicky became friends later but he explicitly didn't like her in the beginning
