the kavetham brainrot is real, I have multiple foreign language tests this week and I’m starting two new courses but instead I’ve been researching architectural styles of the middle east, north africa, and southeast asia to be able to write this akademiya era fic because Kaveh is a genius and a passionate prodigy and I refuse to not write him as such.

after multiple hours of research and a lot of reading, I am now extremely angry and disappointed about how genshin dropped the ball with indo-islamic architecture in the rainforest, it could’ve been so colorful and beautiful and connected to real architecture. but it’s so orientalist in game. ironically the desert is better in terms of architectural adhesion to real cultures. pls ask me about it im going crazy

#genshin #genshin impact #kaveh #alhaitham #kavetham #guys theres so many ways you can do domes #I really like islamic gardens and I think Kaveh would too #he also clearly likes chhatri #that's canon #chhatri are those gazebo looking things all over sumeru and also are included as one of kavehs fav teapot places #he would also adore all the decorative stuff #like muqarnas #and jali #bro the architecture for sumeru could've been so much better why are the colors like they are why is it all so boring and weird #the desert stuff is honestly way better than the rainforest stuff #much closer to the ancient egyptian and Moroccan architecture that's clearly the inspiration #I wish the indo islamic stuff in the rainforest was better though #the fountains are honestly the closest the game gets and even those are bland af #in my fic I will describe the architecture as being less bland and shit #this i swear to you
