Your dress blowing in the wind is a war flag

A call to arms,

to the battleground of your hold

پیراهنت در باد پرچم جنگی است

که مرا به میدان ِ تنت میخواند…

Mun tu shudam tu mun shudi

mun tu shudam tu jaan shudi

Taakas na guyad baad azeen

mun deegaram tu deegri

I have become you, and you me,

I am the body, you soul;

So that no one can say hereafter,

That you are someone, and me someone else.

What if he comes back apologizing?

Then i will feed him so much neglect so he understands that blessings, if neglected, do not last.

[zvaigzdelasas]

There's a surprising amount of vocab common between Turkic langs & Hindi/Urdu - assuming shared influence from either Farsi or Arabic?

Similarities between Japanese and Persian:

SOV word order

closed class of true verbs + heavy use of light verbs

-o as an accusative marker

lots of phonetic [ʃt] or [ɕt]

Although the wind

blows terribly here,

the moonlight also leaks

between the roof planks

of this ruined house.

Trying to write that Aladdin Au fic is so difficult!

Like, there are so many things I want to add in it but most are from Arabian culture while these tales originated from Persia but most people believe they originated from Arabia and gosh I am so confused I don't know which culture to choose. I instinctively keep writing Arab because I'm more familiar with it and I'm not really that familiar with Persian besides the parts that are in common with South Asia

So uh guess who's finally properly learning Farsi (I should've learned this when I was like 4 but I was an idiot child who knew nothing of the importance of my culture-)

And has decided to memorize words by translating cookie run character names

uh-

From top to bottom, left to right:

Angel Cookie = فرشته کوکی (fereshteh cookie)

Devil Cookie = شیطان کوکی (shaytaan cookie)

Pastry Cookie = شیرینی کوکی (shirini cookie)

Pomegranate Cookie = انار کوکی (anaar cookie)

Herb Cookie = سبزی کوکی (sabzi cookie)

Olive Cookie = زیتون کوکی (zeytoon cookie)

(I also am learning how to write in Farsi so my writing is. Very bad and it only looks passable here because I traced over the words typed-out in ibis paint x :'3)

I may decide to post more of these in case anyone else may be interested in learning miscellaneous Farsi words. I don't know if anyone would be, but maybe-

(I sent these to my baba to see what he thinks and he hasn't texted back yet and I'm nervous about if I even translated or wrote these right-)

RE: cultural appropriation primarily being about an economic state of affairs where white people make money off of other people, a related idea I've been contemplating but haven't been able to like. Finish writing about is the idea of cultural decontextualization, which is when a cultural majority (often but not always white people) engage with another culture in a manner that erases- and may simultaneously replicate- racist histories, and is more about creating false narratives than economics.

A personal example would be white people making clothes based off of Coptic Egyptian artifacts, especially while generically referring to them as "Roman" or arguing Coptic art does not exist, which denies Copts part of Coptic history while resurrecting the French Coptomania of the 1920s, and specifically Albert Gayet's actions of taking items from Coptic graves to the point where a model was dressed in a tunic and shown off (which is also terrible from an artifact preservation perspective- this tunic would've been at minimum, 1300 years old at the time).
