NOT TO MAKE ANOTHER "LOOK AT THIS STAYED GONE FRAME" POST BUT THIS ONE IS MORE MISSABLE THAN THE MULTIPLE TIMES VOX DOES THE RAINBOW TV BARS. literally a blink and you miss it frame. cause why is it a literal straight up BI FLAG right after alastor reveals vox tried to ask him to join his "team". like the rainbow tv bars you could brush off as them just deciding to colour the tv error bars a bit different. but this. this is just the fucking bi flag like there's no ifs ands or buts about it. what was the reason.

LIKE COME ON

Currently trying not to think too hard about the fact Lilith hasn't spoken to Charlie in 7 years and that's how long Alastor disappeared for until we get the rest of the season.

I think this point got a little lost amid the general fandom glee at Dominique and Vanitas bonding (or at least it did for me), but looking back at chapter 60, the implications that this scene has for Vanitas are fucking wild.

It's not the only aspect of her relationship with him, but a huge cornerstone of Dominique's feelings toward Noé is the fact of her absolutely massive crush on him. Like, as much as she's venting about how he frustrates her, Dominique's thoughts on Noé in this scene are the thoughts of a woman that is canonically in love with him. And Vanitas apparently thinks/feels the exact same way.

As their shared venting reaches its fever pitch, Vanitas and Dominique both reach the exact same ending point. Noé is stubborn and overly straightforward and unrelenting, and both of them feel helpless against it. And they say as much!

They say as much, and then they both cut themselves off and flinch away in the exact same way, as though they've said too much. They've revealed some deeper truth about their feelings and the ways that Noé's force of personality affects them.

Dominique reacts this way presumably because she touched a little too close to the reality of her romantic feelings for him. The thing cut off at the end of "Since he's like that, I—" is some expression of the depths of her incredible fondness for and attraction to him. And Vanitas apparently feels the exact same way as Dominique. He expresses almost the exact same outward sentiment and catches himself and flinches in the exact same way. So if Dominique is speaking here in (albeit frustrated) love, then what emotions is Vanitas speaking from?

#we all know how much Mochijun loves to make meaning with parallels #so 'Vanitas feels the exact same way about Noé as the woman that's in love with him' cannot be a coincidence lmao #it certainly must mean *something* about him ;3 #And while I know I'm not the first person to have this thought #amid all the friendship/solidarity glee. I think the gay little implications deserve extra emphasis too <3 #vnc #vanitas no carte #the case study of vanitas #vanoé #vanitas #vnc vanitas #the vanoé agenda #vanitas my beloved #english major hours #long post #ID in alt text #Noé arqueueviste

Kaveh's Drip Marketing

I have a lot to say about the connections between the Kaveh info that released today and Alhaitham (and what we know about their relationship with each other). I'm not looking at this in a romantic way necessarily, but just in how tightly knotted their characters are with one another.

First, Kaveh's title and description:

"Empyrean Reflection", or more simply, 'Heavenly Reflection'. This ties to his constellation, "Paeadisaea", which is the genus for the birds of paradise. 'Paradise' is a more general term for Heaven, but neither of these are particularly divine in nature in a deity sense. Personally, I think they might be denoting a reference to the Golden Ratio, AKA: Divine Proportion. It's a mathematic concept often used in artistry, which matches well with Kaveh's archectural design profession and his education from the Ksharewar Darshan, which is the Sumeru school of technology.

So that's what it means for Kaveh's own characterisation/lore imo, but it also links to Alhaitham. Firstly, Alhaitham's constellation is also a bird (Vultur Volans, or essentially 'vulture' even though his name means hawk), which is a nice match to Kaveh's birds of paradise. But more interestingly, this is what Alhaitham's Character Story 4 has to say about why he lets Kaveh live with him:

He views Kaveh as a "mirror". What is Kaveh's title again? "Empyrean Reflection".

And the mirroring is all over the place. Here's a section from Alhaitham's drip marketing from December:

He is

Largely unknown

Only puts in the minimum effort required to do his job

People don't pay attention to him

In contrast, here is a corresponding section that came out with Kaveh's drip today:

He is

Extremely well known

Incredibly hardworking

People pay attention to him even when he isn't asking for it, as a by-product of his career

Basically exact opposites; complete mirrors. Here's something else, first from the end of Alhaitham's description and then second from the end of Kaveh's:

Alhaitham's life is super comfortable, ideal in every way he desires. Meanwhile Kaveh is practically crippled by anxiety, made uncomfortable by his life circumstances. The wording itself is mirrored!

Ofc, Kaveh and Alhaitham provide one another's corresponding quotes in the drip marketing. Here is what Kaveh has to say about Alhaitham:

This is an amusing quote, basically a backhanded compliment of "oh he's very smart but he's too self-centred so his talents are made worthless since he never uses them to help others". Alhaitham's quote about Kaveh goes like this:

Alhaitham is a little more wordy so I'll simplify -

Talented people have a lot of outside pressure on them, which can be a burden

However, letting other people get you down is a character flaw, not an inherent part of being talented

Kaveh disagrees

Once again talking about an individual's talents and how worthwhile they are in the context of a society. Where Kaveh complains that Alhaitham can never accomplish anything worthwhile with his skills because he doesn't take other people into account, Alhaitham argues that Kaveh gets nothing done as a consequence of listening too much to other people's expectations. It's not surprising, then, that Kaveh is bankrupt but successful and Alhaitham is comfortable but unknown.

It's like - can these two stop talking about each other for five minutes? Anyway, this post turned out to be more of a collection of Kavetham quotes, but I think it's hard not to draw comparisons. I'm looking forward to seeing Kaveh's actual voicelines if there's this much material just from one marketing post lol

#alhaitham #kaveh #genshin impact #al haitham #kavetham #haikaveh #drip marketing #theory? #analysis #i love these two #idk if Kaveh's title being reflection is supposed to relate to Alhaitham's whole mirror thinh #which BTW Alhaitham's whole kit is about maintaining as many mirrors as possible #like what babe you need your bf? #anyway #this much cannot be a coincidence #and while it's certainly not inherently romantic #there is something to be said for the intimacy of being your roommate's perfect reflection

[nightswatchdisbandmentera]

As far as character progression goes, I'd argue that the most important aspect of the RLJ reveal isn't just Jon learning that he isn't Ned's son. The most important part is him learning that he isn't Ned Stark's bastard son. He's spent all his life chasing after Ned's shadow, trying to prove to himself and to the world that he is worthy of being Ned Stark's son, "let them say that Eddard Stark had fathered four sons not three", “he was not a Stark but he could die like one” and all that. He's internalized the shame of being the one stain on honorable Ned Starks' reputation

“But it’s a lie,” Jon insisted. How could they think his father was a traitor, had they all gone mad? Lord Eddard Stark would never dishonor himself … would he? He fathered a bastard, a small voice whispered inside him. Where was the honor in that? And your mother, what of her? He will not even speak her name.

So it's important for him to finally stop chasing after that elusive shadow. It's important for him to understand that Ned's dishonor was a deliberate choice that he made by himself, and it's thus no fault of his own. Once Jon internalizes that, then he can finally move on and ask himself, who am I? What do I want for myself? What can I be in this world, just as I am? So far, he's been unable to do that successfully because he still has an incomplete (and false) understanding of who he is.

#jon snow #asoiaf #valyrianscrolls #jon specifically being ned’s bastard cannot be overstated #it heavily colors his outlooks on his own life and how he navigates through the world #like let’s talk about his sex hangups for example #being ned's bastard is so so important to his character arc #ffs whenever he meets someone new it’s always you must be ned stark’s bastard #it’s how he and everyone else understand his role in life so for him to progress as a character we need to ask #what happens when jon is no longer ned stark’s bastard? #what happens when the one thing that drove him to the wall - to seek glory and kickstarted his heroic journey #is proven to be false? #what then? #what does he do then? where does he go then? who does he become then? #I think he will at first be resistant - and it’s been my personal theory that his learning of robb’s will #will coincide with that and that will be the greatest temptation for him #just like with stannis’ offer and how he agonized over it he will try to cling to some form of #-I can still be ned’s son can’t I? look robb legitimized me as such- #yes I think he’ll already be aware of his parentage by the time he learns of the will #but ultimately he will choose to forge his own path in the end just like he chose to remain with the nw #which then doesn’t look good for the kitn prospects I’m ngl 😬 #because just like accepting Stannis’ offer meant desecrating his father’s gods #accepting the will while knowing that he has no right over his now cousins would straight up be usurpation regardless of age or skill #and I can see grrm throwing in that moral dilemma for Jon because his arc is full of them #but just as he rejected stannis and ended up as lc then his final rejection will lead to something else that is greater - king of winter 🤭 #Just my opinion tho 🙂 #tagging #eddard stark #r plus l equals j #As well

I'm saying this now

Theron Shan inherited his Bi Diaster vibes from Revan and not Basitlia. "Republic Hero(?) With A Questionable Relationships With A (Former)Sith" is what he inherited from Basitlia.

This includes Satele too.
