The devs keep feeding me this event. Thank you.

First there were these gems...

Then we found a private hot spring.

And I stared at my phone and I said out loud, "Does this mean we get to take our clothes off?"

And we did.

He even gave me a massage.

That event though,,,,,

So Kaveh wins and refuses the money because of all the baggage attached, which Alhaitham already kinda knew about cos it's the whole reason he's involved. Anyway they're still roommates.

But mostly.

Kaveh takes leftovers home

Alhaitham expects him to do this

All his friends know he keeps talking about Alhaitham

Alhaitham worries too - all that stuff about Kaveh's dad and the guilt comes up and Alhaitham keeps trying to shut it down!

Kaveh thanks Alhaitham!!

Alhaitham is a teasing bastard who wants three thankus, please 🥺

Kaveh invited Alhaitham to dinner too, his treat

Alhaitham got all "uhh yes um yes that no no thanku" babe do you want him to take you on a date. Is that it.

Rn I'm getting a lot more pining vibes from Alhaitham but he's too tsundere to actually get any of it across, plus he quite likes whatever the fuck they have going on rn. Meanwhile Kaveh is trying to fuck off, sort of, except every time his friends ask him if he's okay he doesn't tell them so there's literally no opportunity for him to move out which sounds like he doesn't actually wanna move out tbh.

Like, he gets the prize money and he is a person of integrity so he doesn't take it. But some people characterise Alhaitham as weirdly abusive (which is wrong, just incorrect) but if he were actually like that then Kaveh would be surely desperate enough to take some of the money just to rent a new place?? Or at least take Cyno's money when he first offers, or accept the research funding so he can get more work - but Kaveh isn't desperate at all to leave.

If you read Kaveh's character stories, you know he mostly just feels guilty about putting Alhaitham out. But Alhaitham likes Kaveh living with him!!

They are very much still bickering old married couple who have divorced twice etc, but I do think this event is a stepping stone to a slightly more overtly stable dynamic. Kinda like how Diluc and Kaeya went from outright malice to something more understanding. We'll almost certainly see more Alhaitham in Kaveh's hangout event, so I'm sure more groundwork will be laid there.

Anyway yeah it's good, really very good. Kaveh is a great character on his own but their ship also exists and is very cute - I also am not certain, but to my knowledge they are the ship that has had the most dialogue in game together? Except a few traveller ships but, you know, that's 49.9% Paimon, 0.1% traveller.

I hope you all liked the event too! I wonder if there are secret locations to find everyone in after the fact?

[cadaver1ne]

An analysis on Diavolo and Satan’s dynamic in the Star event, because it makes my brain go brrr.

Spoilers for the event below the cut

Satan and Diavolo are evenly matched with each other, and can challenge each other in a way that no one else can. This is why Diavolo is the only person who was a threat to Satan winning, and why there had to be a tie breaker between them. They’re equals.

Unlike everyone else (with the exception of Lucifer), Diavolo isn’t afraid of Satan’s anger at all. In fact, he succeeded in calming Satan down and prevented Satan from doing something that he’d regret (ie destroy RAD and make you unhappy/upset). Diavolo was also immediately able to see the source of Satan’s anger and address it accordingly.

Speaking of which, Diavolo doesn’t look down on Satan at all for being angry, and is able to tell that his anger came from kindness.

Despite his anger, Satan isn’t a bad person at all. Diavolo knows that.

He also understands that Satan needs space, and doesn’t judge him for locking himself away in his room after he threw a fit.

All of this is why, at the end of the event, they’re grateful for each other.

Diavolo is grateful that Satan listened to him, and that Satan was able to control his anger and prevent himself from ruining the event. He’s grateful that Satan’s kindness was able to show through and make you happy. “Thank you for listening to me and for caring about both MC and the event itself.”

Satan is grateful that Diavolo helped him get the clarity he needed, and treated him as an adult (which his why Diavolo’s words didn’t just make him more upset). He’s grateful that Diavolo’s showed him kindness despite how volatile his anger can make him, and that enabled him to make you happy. “Thank you for not being afraid of me and for helping me bring out the better parts of myself.”
