Summoner Is More Of A Cat Person

I'm mentally ill about Kavetham but

Genshin artifact leaks incoming!!!

Okay so the artifact designs for 3.6 have been leaked, but we do not yet know what their set bonuses will be, nor do we know which region their domain will be placed in. Here are the designs:

I think it's fair to say they have visual similarities to Alhaitham and Kaveh, specifically the colour schemes. The darker teal set for Alhaitham and the red/green combo for Kaveh. Now, it doesn't actually matter whether or not these artifacts will be specialised sets for Alhaitham and Kaveh (I seriously doubt they will be), because all I care about is the design. Also, it would make more sense for these artifacts to be for Dehya/Baizhu, but it's not so odd for artifacts to not match their intended user (see Xiao's signature set lol).

Look at these artifacts on the red/green set:

(excuse the tiny poor quality). Those earrings are very similar to the ones Kaveh wears:

(using this image with cosplay props cos my guy refuses to stand at the right angle during quests for his earrings to be visible).

The gold outline, the red and green, the three green squares in a mosaic pattern - the similarity is evident. Pictured also is the goblet for this new artifact set: a wine glass. Kaveh does really like his wine.

Which brings me to the other set:

More zooming is necessary. In Alhaitham's "good morning" voiceline he complains about needing coffee so early in the morning, and we know from the message boards that he frequents Puspa Café. So I find it quite amusing that the goblet in this set is a mug, like you'd traditionally drink coffee or tea from.

There's also smaller detailing on these artifacts:

They look a bit like mini primogems, or like the diamond shaped mirrors Alhaitham generates as you fight with him. In fact, every artifact in this set comes with three teal diamonds. In case anyone isn't aware, three mirrors is the maximum and optimum number to maintain while Alhaitham is on-field.

Is there a point to this little analysis of blurry artifacts that are still 1.5 patches away from releasing? Uh, no. But I'm not crazy drawing these connections, right?

yiup..

to preserve the species he says

"Welcome back one and all to the free-for-all Sumeru Slam Arena! I'm your host, Acting Grand Sage Alhaitham. On the left, we can see a fierce bout between the Wanderer and our General Mahamatra. To our right we can see Nilou and Tighnari teaming up against Madam Faruzan. And what's this? Coming up the middle of the is Dehya and Candace! But who are they chasing? Ah, it's my loser housemate Kaveh, who owes me two months rent. The crowd goes wild as Candace knocks his stupid briefcase out of his hands, which wouldn't have been a problem if he used a claymore like a normal person. And what's this? The Wanderer has stolen the knockout from under the Flame-Mane's nose with a well-timed blast of anemo right to my loser boyfriend's face! It serves him right for vomiting on the new sofa last week." -Alhaitham probably.
