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 am actually so tired of the way westerners treat eastern europeans
#fair warning for. a very very long ramble and rant in the tags. apologies#westerner or russian. no other option#westerner because the only thought they ever have is 'but they had universal housing so if you oppose ussr you oppose that'#(which is stupid becuse you can believe in that WITHOUT WANTING LIKE 6 COUNTRIES TO BE FORCED TO BE RULED OVER BY RUSSIA)#(SORRY FOR WANTING TO LIVE IN MY COUNTRY WITH MY HISTORY AND MY CULTURE AND NOT RUSSIA!!) (poland was a sattelite state but GOD)#or russian because they have a victim complex and are convinced that they deserve to rule over the entire damn world#'well you had universal housing so you had it easy' right yeah. okay. forget about like. everything else that happened#to eastern europeans during that time#forget about the things that are STILL issues all these years later not only in poland but like the more eastern countries too#its not about. the fact that the houses 'didnt have 3 bedrooms and a jacuzzi' in them. you DUMB SACK OF SHIT#god sorry. sorry. i also know so very little but like god damn i fucking live here. i didnt sit thru all that modern history#for some dumbfuck to say that 'ohhh only rich and american middle class people are happy the ussr was dissolved'#'oooh the dissolving of the ussr was illegal and the countries within it actually liked being there'#im just so fucking tired man i need to. i need to start killing people#and this is all not to mention that theyll say this stupid shit and then deny eastern europeans the things they actually did that were good#FUCK french people for trying to claim maria skłodowska. fuck americans for trying to claim the witcher as their own fantasy world#fuck the way the west is allowed to claim and destroy eastern european culture without any consequence because we dont matter enough#vaguely related but ill throw this in here since anyone finding it is unlikely and im scared of having this opinion#i think one underappreciated aspect of DE (which might be underappreciated because its not actually there and im stupid)#is that its pro-communist while still also giving some criticism to how it was handled and acknowledging that its still not perfect#which makes the writers much better communists than any self-proclaimed one ive ever met in my life who just worships the idea#perhaps its because the writers of the game were not white upper middle-class americans living in the suburbs. among other things#idk de is a game for people far smarter than me and i only played it once and im sure anyone who played it well can clock me as a bad perso#horrible horrible person even which is why im scared of mentioning it. but its an interesting thing. to me#the main thing is that im just not. im not far left enough i suppose. i agree communism in theory is a great idea. as far as i know it#(which isnt very far)#but chances of implementing it correctly in a way that doesnt take away from peoples happiness in other areas is. low. very low#i wrote a short essay about how utopias are inherently contradictory ideas once it wasnt very deep or good but like#you cant have universal happiness without restricting certain freedoms. and when those freedoms are resticted not everyone#will be happy. and then theyre unhappy they will have to be somehow removed or ignored

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 🤔
