28/50
5/5
I had already been looking forward to this when I heard about it, but I definitely was excited when I saw Chelsea Abdullah blurbed it.
This is a Middle Eastern Fantasy, that’s more Egyptian based. I loved the world, I loved the characters. I feel like I needed a good fantasy and this delivered. I really can’t wait for the sequel, I need it. This was so immersive and atmospheric.
I will say it did take like 2-3 chapters to get into it. This book kinda just throws you off the deep end and doesn’t explain a lot of stuff, like the magic system or certain things about the world. Personally, I love those types of books but I know, it’s not for everyone.

Inspired by the prevalence of Arabic culture in my day-to-day life, my FC room is now all about the enchanting colours of an Arabian sunset. Open for visitors on Zodiark, Shirogane, 1st Ward, Plot 7, Room 22!
This build is an homage to the Arabs of my life, one of whom has become a second father to me throughout the course of my adulthood, and who continue to inspire me with their resilience despite the challenges and discrimination they often face in Europe.

I had an idea for a new build for a good while, but then life decided to start throwing things at me, so I never got to finish it. Here's what I managed to put together!

I can finally share this! It's my piece for the Once Upon A Time Miraculous Zine.
The story is that Alya is traveling through the desert when she is approached by a jann (a type of jinn) (also Nino) that reveals an oasis because he likes~ her~
Also she was being chased by ghouls and he hates those, so why not help her escape?

me: I want to write a story that has a disgraced royal as the main whumpee. I want him to be morally gray, if not evil, and I want all his subjects to hate him. The setting will be a well-planned, low magic fantasy world, and the whump will be in the form of poetic-justice based punishments carefully chosen by each of the major cities he ruled over
me, writing Cerus instead: look at my cringefail evil overlord

Morgan, the Jinn (aka. The Baron)
A little sketch of the protagonist of my current WIP, The Jinn Next Door. He’s a Jinn who bought the Baron‘s Palace in Heliopolis, Cairo. For some reason I keep imagining him with a classic western style. Maybe because people in the neighborhood refer to him as the Baron 🤔
