havent been posting much lately but ive been doing a lot of slugsign. this is a stock phrase regarding one of my ocs in four different fonts- cursive slugsign, standard slugsign, blocky slugsign, and an attempt at thuluth-style slugsign calligraphy. translation and other tidbits under cut.

features a new sign that im debuting because this is my dialect and i can choose the weirdness! the "name" indicator sign (a sign similar to "me", but with more of a self-headpatting motion! i'm using it to denote that the following signs are a namesign. also, the plain L sign is pretty much a silent sign! it's just to indicate a pause in the dialogue, like a comma- mimicking the spoken slugsign mannerisms further.

also, see those three dots next to "cycle"? that is to indicate that the sign (cycle) is being repeated three times, to indicate that its not just plural (which is 2 dots), but a Lot of said sign (hence the 3 dots)

also, note: the "follow" sign used in this actually "wait"! this is because i fucked up a little 🥰

TRANSLATION:

"[name][enlightened]-follow-you sleeps [sentence end]. my [name][enlightened]-follow-you [pause], i sleep-many-cycles [pause], i not-eat-(for)-many-cycles. [sentence end]. sleep-many-cycles."

SIMPLIFIED TRANSLATION:

"Enlightened Attendant sleeps. I am Enlightened Attendant- I have slept for a long time, and I have not eaten for a long time- I have slept a long time.

‎فَمَن زُحْزِحَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَأُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فَازَ وَما الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ مَتَاعُ الْغُرُورِ

And whoever is moved away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, he indeed is successful. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception.

One of the photos of old Cairo with a beautiful verse written in Mamluk Thuluth and the wall was witnessing what happened over hundreds of years.

MWW Artwork of the Day (6/7/25) Ali ibn Muhammad al-Barmaki (Egyptian, fl. early 14th c.) Mosque Lamp of Amir Qawsun (c. 1329–35) Glass, colorless w/ brown tinge; blown, blown applied foot, enameled & gilded, 35.9 cm. high & 25.6 cm. in diameter The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (Gift of J. Pierpont Morgan)

This lamp was probably intended for one of his two architectural commissions in Cairo. The lamp's decoration is organized in registers. The neck bears part of the verses from the Qur'an's "Chapter of Light," which aptly uses the metaphor of a glass lamp to describe the divine light of God. The body features formulaic and benedictory inscriptions in bold cursive thuluth script, which recalls the inlaid metalwork with epigraphic decoration popular during the long reign of al-Nasir Muhammad.

Tile with Pious Inscription

Ilkhanid dynasty (1256–1353), Late 13th/early 14th century

Bands of inscription adorn monuments throughout the Islamic world. This tile was previously part of longer architectural panel containing pious inscriptions, undoubtedly attached to a religious monument. The script used here, thuluth, is known for its elongated horizontal extensions at the ends of letters. The thuluth script first emerged in the 11th century and has remained one of the most popular forms of calligraphy.
