This is why canon Alhaitham is infinitely better than fanon.
I think Alhaitham's views on gods and his dynamic with Nahida in particular is probably one of the most underrated comedic elements to come out of Sumeru.
This guy put together an entire crack squad and master plan to rescue a god while being the Genshin equivalent of an atheist. "Yes, obviously archons exist. But so do sharks. Both of those beings have their place in the ecosystem, and if I had to pick one to piss off--"
Like, does he believe in the dendro archon? Yes. But is he going to listen if she denies his paid vacation request? Absolutely not.
Bro is selected by name to come discuss important matters with his nation's deity in her sanctuary, and he's just like, "Oh, I ran into Nilou there once. That was cool."
Raised to the highest possible position available in his nation's government by the deliberate selection of his god? Resigns.
We know that Nahida still calls on Alhaitham when Sumeru is in need of defending from nefarious parties, and sends him out with Wanderer to kick ass and take names. Now that they've forgotten Rukkhadevata and the Akademiya's ploy to imprison Nahida has been foiled, most of the people of Sumeru would be floored by the honor of being called upon personally to aid the great dendro archon. Staggered by the fact that the lord of wisdom herself finds them worthy! But Alhaitham? He just goes home. Kaveh asks him what he was up to all day. "Hm. Nothing of note."
Everyone else, upon receiving the recognition of a god: My life has been changed forever. I will be telling my great grandchildren of the day I received such a blessing!
But for Alhaitham? It was Tuesday.
Criminally underrated comedic potential. CRIMINAL.
this tweet is so kageyama coded
Everyone talks about Kaveh’s feeling of being undeserving of happiness and should be punished for any decisions he makes due to his survivor guilt, but we should talk more about Alhaitham’s loneliness and his fear of abandonment because his life has a track record of his loved ones either dying (his immediate family) or leave him (Kaveh). There’s just way too many people thinking his stoic and rational nature somehow make him immune to emotions like loneliness, fear, or grief.
Not to be mean, but with the exception of like 3 whole people, Genshin stans and lore theorists have gotten so lazy. And then get mad cuz others don't agree with them.
Samsaras are revealed.
Anything that happened since then must be a samsara:
We're stuck in a samsara!
This whole thing must be a samsara!
Are those people trapped in a samsara?
Maybe the whole country is in a samsara of their destruction!
That sounds like a samsara!
Forbidden Knowledge is revealed.
Anything that causes discoloration or a change to your ability to view/hear the events MUST BE Forbidden Knowledge. It can't possibly be anything else:
The screen glitched! Forbidden Knowledge!
The screen darkened! Forbidden Knowledge!
The screen turned black and white! Forbidden Knowledge!
Character's voice becomes static and glitches out. Forbidden Knowledge!
There are so many themes in this damn game and I'm sick of seeing people just constantly falling back on samsara and forbidden knowledge.
