Continuing the topic of people's stupidity, misogyny and racism towards Dorne and Elia Martell, I want to say that I once had a conversation with a person who literally wrote me that:

- the Martells knew about Lyanna being in Dorne and coddled her, so Elia wAs OkAy WiTh RL;

- Rhaegar didn't love Elia and was forced to marry her, so he's justified in treating her like shit;

- Elia's family didn't care about her humiliation and death;

- Elia could escape the King's Landing with her children if she wanted to.

There was much more trash. I wrote what I remember because just reading those replies makes my blood boil.

At this point:

Anxiety and medication dependency is a b!tch.

I want to cry.

Engaging in my interests sometimes heals me, sometimes it does not. Because I don't have the energy... My body trembles, I can't breathe, I can't regulate my own body temperature, restless, sad, betrayed.

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.”

This aside, let’s talk a little more about swords!

I was thinking about Takoubas. They’re the swords carried by some of the Saharan peoples. Inside this typology, there are other types, but they are not super standardized.

Here’s my brother’s Amazigh sword, a Telek.

An important part of Lluna’s tribal ancestry comes from Niger and Mali, from the Tuareg.

**widespread use of the sword. The oldest found is a 14th century one. But something similar or straight up identical could be used in my story.

However, in Al Andalus, everyone is highly Arabized, even if they are mostly North African and Iberian. //Still, her family retains a strong memory and kept traditions alive mainly thanks to the women (who are keepers of the alphabet, Tifinagh, and therefore of stories). But since Lluna’s paternal grandmother died, the sisters have been left without this guide, and must piece together whatever each of them managed to learn, in order to preserve it.//

So that is why I had Al Mualim, and his men, carry an Andalusi sword mainly. An early or proto-jineta (below is the typical Nasrid type, the earlier ones were also embellished, but heavier and more robust. Some could be curved for mounted combat, but most are straight). But I want to incorporate Takoubas somehow. Maybe by it being a secondary or heirloom sword for the family. Just like Baldwin (in my stories) has a heirloom one which is an earlier type (XI) with minor differences.

Below my Tuareg dagger from Niger. I gave Lluna a similar one with a dark blue sheath for self defense, which was common for medieval women. Her people love to dye things with the Indigo plant. This will be showcased in chapters soon. Like with the Tagelmust, the most important 💙 so will the alphabet :D I have been consulting my brother—Amazigh researcher specialized on the Tuareg—on Tamasheq, the Tuareg variant of the language. It has differences and I needed to form a sentence in it with the Tamasheq alphabet, that also has some differences with the northern Tifinagh so google translate doesn’t work for me lmao

•Her necklace there is an Agadez cross. My brother and I theorize a link with the Egyptian Ankh (there are many connections between the cultures). It has many meanings, but one of the associations is femininity and fertility (the triangle), which is a common theme anyway among the culture. Ironically, both my brother and dad wear one, but I have not received one yet 😐

And ah. I can’t help but spoil it; but Saladin will gift something cool to Baldwin ;)

Stay tuned for my 3D renders of everyone’s swords! I still have to restart Baldwin’s which got deleted, but I don’t have time atm 😭😭😭🤌🏼 I am so excited about Saladin’s too, there are so many possible variants 🫣🫣

This image was considered so wildly provocative in 1930s Japan, that it was banned from further publication, remaining prints being destroyed.

THEY DID HIM SO DIRTY HELP.

I'm sorry, but this is the only thing I can think about every time I see Baldwin's costume design in "Saladin: The Conqueror of Jerusalem"

I wish they came up with an original design instead of "KoH from Wish" 😭
