I’m never feeling happiness again
the suffering never ends
Kafka from Honkai Star Rail Illustration (cannot wait to pull for mother)
Random Alhaitham and Kaveh headcanon incoming involving plants and interior design
So Kaveh is absolutely plant crazy and has a bunch of aerogardens and probably a few terrariums to decorare the house, but since his style is more spontaneous bursts of 3 am creativity and motivation and not consistent and logical work he'd be terrible at taking care of them (along with taking care of himself) even if he's trying his best because either he or the plants will get burnt out
And meanwhile Haitham's just a straight up plant nerd but keeps reeeeaaal uiet about it, and watches from afar while "reading," then when Kaveh goes to sleep or to his room or to get absolutely wasted at the tavern with Cyno and Tighnari or something he'll just go and fix up the plants and the setup for them and such
And since he's 1) learned to pick his arguments more carefully with Kaveh so Kaveh doesn't get overwhelmed (and so Alhaitham can spend his arguments on things more important than plants, like Kaveh's self-destructive levels of empathy), and 2) probably knows that Kaveh blames himself a lot for his father's death and is always feeling that he needs to be there for others out of guilt + is hard on himself when he can't help people, Alhaitham stays quiet about Kaveh's terrible gardening skills so he doesn't blame himself for neglecting / not caring for the plants
Which of course leads to Kaveh thinking that he's an absolute gardening prodigy and leads to him buying even more plants, while Alhaitham's torn between being vaguely happy that Kaveh is enjoying himself, and heavily regretting his actions because now he has even more plants to take care of
I need to draw this
Ivan studies cuz I've really been struggling to draw his face
my roman empire is the fact that dr. ratio couldn't get into the genius society because of how much he cares for others. my roman empire is the fact that the way that he loves and has too much empathy will be his own downfall. my roman empire is the fact that he spent so long thinking that he was enough only to be hit with the reality that the world and life is cruel and his heart is too soft for the universe he was born into.
my roman empire is that dr. ratio cares. he cares so damn much. he loved too much that it held him back from his ultimate goal.
dr. ratio they could never make me hate you.
