Mandatory rant about kaveh’s 2023 birthday letter incoming!!

Kaveh and Alhaitham’s birthday message subject lines are seen to mirror the other through their usage of punctuation, as Alhaitham’s subject line reads as: “…” as opposed to Kaveh’s: ‘!!!’.

A sense of familiarity evoked in their current living situation emanates from these mirrorings and within this message. Kaveh writes about him bringing coffee beans “home” in order to try, and then follows this with: “we compared the taste of each, we decided that this was the best”. Through Kaveh’s explicit usage of the word “home”, it is evident that the “we” refers to him and Alhaitham. This description establishes a sense of domesticity, only to be achieved in a mutually agreed ‘home’ as opposed to a ‘house’.

It is relevant to reference Kaveh’s understanding of “home”, as in a place in which words are not necessary and link it to the idea of companionship being more important than understanding. 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 understood by people who are not willing to listen in order to understand - established by Kaveh’s mother within his hangout.

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 over offering empty words which cannot solve Kaveh’s particular problems.

Kaveh’s understanding of “home” as a place in which people are at ease with each other and support another regardless, can be seen within his relationship with Alhaitham.

Kaveh and Alhaitham split the chores according to Alhaitham’s character stories; 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; and for Kaveh’s birthday they try coffee beans together to determine the best ones to send onto Kaveh’s friends - Kaveh’s close friends who are also Alhaitham’s.

Rather than the “cold” and “lonely” house which Kaveh was left with after the passing of his father and departure of his mother, this conjures the image of warmth and familiarity. In this, it can be inferred that the two have created a home together.

(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)

#there isnt much to be said that everyone hasnt said already since kavehs bday mail is NOTORIOUS #the ‘we’!!!??? i am LOSING MY MIND #so i am BEGGING that we get an indirect reference to alhaitham again and the subject line being ‘!!!’#since alhaithams bday mail this year was the same subject line as last time and had similar contents #also kavehs mother… i have many thoughts and ive touched upon them briefly here but there’s a lot more to say #so yeah dont worry im definitely gonna be digging into kavehs hangout a lot more!! a veritable gold mine tbh!!#so alhaitham is kavehs home just as kaveh is alhaithams thats what im saying #IM SICK OF THEM #alhaitham #kaveh #haikaveh #kavetham #haikaveh meta

idk i wish people would talk more about papua when it comes to occupied nations.

free papua.

#we exist too. our villages are getting bombed. we get thrown in prisons for no reason. we're not allowed to fly our flag.#and the whole world ignores it because the grasberg mine is there and they care more about gold than they do about human lives.#and like. we've been begging people to acknowledge our genocide but nobody fucking listens #the death toll is estimated to be around 100k to 300k and still we get ignored #nobody fucking cares about us. i wonder if they'd care if our skin was lighter.#it makes me so fucking sick to think that we're dying and we still never get mentioned in discussions of occupied nations #and the un is so fucking useless when it comes to the conflict. they make half-assed attempts for brownie points if at all.#then they go back to letting the indonesian military bomb our homes.#i wish i could go home but i don't think i ever will be able to when it's been 50+ years of genocide and people still ignore us.#genocide cw

lesbians dont marry or fuck men thats like the whole point of lesbianism lmao

yes yes i agree i don’t think i said otherwise

#i was just thinking like i’m general if i spent the rest of my life with a man i’d feel unfulfilled whereas if i ended up marrying a woman #i don’t think i’d have that feeling of ‘something’s missing’#i was wondering if other bisexual ppl felt that way and wanted to know how lesbians came to the conclusion of being a lesbian #the asks i’ve been getting kinda make it seem like if you’re not a gold star lesbian then you’re not a Real Lesbian #which like i understand if someone’s dating men and women like you’re obviously not a lesbian #but for me i still call myself bi i was just wondering if i don’t want to be with men or date men and im sure i only want to be with women #and ever since i realized that I haven’t been with men… and don’t want to be ever again…#like would that still make me bi?#idk i feel like y’all are gonna cancel me for questioning my sexuality 😭 i’m not saying i’m lesbian but like where Am I in the spectrum ???#i’m just trying to figure out if my ‘attraction’ to men is genuine attraction or just like… societal pressure to be with a man #or daddy issues cuz all the men i’ve been with are always like older my last boyfriend was 10 years older than me and Idk #or if my repulsion is actually repulsion bc i don’t Like them or trauma??#im sorry if i offended anyone i’m not trying to invalidate anyone’s sexuality just trying to figure mine out 🥲#inbox

[TW for blood/injury at 7:47]

This is a good explanation of the massive protests going on here (finally omg) in English so I can show you guys. They actually interview some Panamanians and explain what people are angry about, which was not described or just super brief in almost all the articles I could find.

The only things I'd add is maybe more focus on the environmental impact of open-pit copper mines in particular bc they leak so much poison into the environment and water/air pollution especially, not to mention the deforestation to make space for the mine. Wildlife has already been severely impacted, and the pollution makes it impossible for people to farm in an area where most of the locals rely on agriculture.

But I think they did a good job describing the other complaints, like the government corruption everyone is fed up with and the historical reasons for the push back against land being sold to foreign companies.

#just to be clear the mine already exists (since 2019) and was declared unconstitutional #but what the president just did (like instead of shutting it down which is what people wanted) is give them a contract for 20 more years #it will be expanding too bc the contract also included land theyre now allowed to take #they are also very much taking gold out and not just copper (we know bc workers have taken pictures and shown everyone) but i'm not sure #on the legality of that so i didnt want to put it in the main post lmao #🐊
