okay so, i've been thinking.

12th jan → so adler and mason and woods were at amsterdam to get quasim javadi (no.1 mission: Nowhere Left to Run)

13th jan → turkey trabzon happened on 13th jan. thats where arash shot bell and adler subsequently found them

23rd feb → CIA safehouse e9 mission (first bell appearance)

13th jan to 23rd feb = 41 days, or 1 month and 10 days. excluding end date

considering maybe they patched up bell. flesh wounds take arnd 2 weeks to roughly heal (3-4 weeks to fully heal) and if mk ultra took at LEAST 3 weeks to a month… they literally wheeled bell to an interrogation room the moment the mf opened their eyes after surgery

AND MIND YOU. LIKELY INTERROGATION OCCURRED ACROSS A FEW DAYS TO A WEEK. BECAUSE ADLER MENTIONED HOW NONE OF THE INTERROGATION METHODS WORKED ON BELL AND KNOWING CIA THERES A LOT

so one week... with bell freshly healing, of interrogations. and they switched to park's very inhumane idea of mkultra. which im guessing took 3 weeks to implement.all whilst bell was (likely) hooked up on morphine on top of the LSD and conditioning - oh gods they probably withheld morphine as a bait during or after the interrogation too.

tldr: breaking it down.

the trabzon wounds wld have taken 1 month to heal (hence why the jump from 13th jan to 23rd feb)

if we assume MK ultra took 3 weeks to a month to complete, and adler mentioned how they tried all interrogation methods, that leaves Bell's interrogation period to fall on the first week

since MK-Ultra was the last ditch effort thought out by Helen Park

and if Bell was interrogated in the first week, this means their wounds were FRESH. CLEANLY stitched up kinda thing. it would hurt like a bih.

in other words, bell my poor baby

I’m so sad that you’ll eventually kill Silas off because I actually really like him. Anyway, is there anyway you could please do like the photo mood board things you did for Boris and Quasim(?)

Boris???? Quasim????😭

The ifrit have a specific custom of naming through laqabs! For example, Yeezumon's full name:

Yeezumon al-Taasharaih ibn Ramnawa bint Khesha bint Modreya al-Quasim

...is more than a random jumble of middle names and surnames. I know it looks incredibly overwhelming, but do me a favor. Read it once more, slowly. Sound it out in your head. Actually follow every single word.

Yeezumon al-Taasharaih ibn Ramnawa bint Khesha bint Modreya al-Quasim

This is more than a name. It's history—of so many people more than just him.

The rough translation:

Yeezumon the Star-Mapper; son of Ramnawa; daughter of Khesha; daughter of Modreya the Divider

It is because of him, and the few other people like him, that sandships are able to transverse the deserts at all.

Yeezumon earned the honorific "the Star-Mapper" for his renowned skill as a professional navigator. There isn't an easy way to impress on you just how profound that title is. Not only did Yeezumon learn to read and write (as exceptionally few ifrit or humans in this time do), but he has charted every single star in the night sky over his centuries as a navigator. And, in a time where doing so is both incredibly challenging and dangerous, he alone has mapped out huge swaths of the desert and its surrounding "coastlines" where greenery and life follows the winding rivers at its edge.

Yeezumon's great grandmother also has an honorific that gets carried along in his name. There was a massive famine during Modreya's lifetime (just after the ifrit were freed from Solomon), and she was the city official whose responsibility was to divide food rations amongst her people. "The Divider" was a title given to her in honor of her dedication to making sure EVERY person, regardless of poverty or class, had enough food to survive. She was incredibly well loved, and her name is still remembered to this day, almost three thousand years later.

After their honorifics, something else might stand out; ifrit bloodlines are solely matrilineal. There are a great many reasons for this, but the biggest is how common polyamory is in their culture. True monogamy is almost unheard of among ifrit, and relationships that even come close are exceptionally rare.

"The Husbands" earned their title because it is outright bizarre for two ifrit to have been together as long as they have. When you live to be a millennium old, it's accepted that the people you're closest with will eventually grow and change so much over the centuries that you're no longer compatible. And there's nothing wrong with it! That kind of growth is seen as a good and completely natural thing, and animosity between ex-lovers is far from the norm. People stay together for as long as they fit, then make their own way apart when they no longer do.

That being said, Yeezumon and Ifyaa are weirdos. Not only have they been together for most of their lives, but these two literally get married to each other over again every time they come across a culture that does it a different way. They've been married about thirty times and counting, with no plans to stop. Even THEY aren't monogamous in the modern sense—they still have other partners both alone and together. [Sorry Nadi, you're still out of luck.]

But lineage is matrilineal because frankly, not only would be it nearly impossible to keep track of who the sire may be, but to the ifrit? It simply doesn't matter.

Ifrit have such an impossible time conceiving children that when one is born, entire cities erupt into celebrations that last for DAYS. Every child is raised with their entire community as a family. While they'll travel with their mother if she ever moves to a new city, the need for more detailed lineages just don't exist. After their mother, they belong to the People as much as to their sire. And on that note....

Ifyaa's full name follows the same pattern:

Ifyaa al-Mantiqi ibn Aisara-Qshek ira Yareya bint Watlai

Ifyaa the Healer; Son of The People; heir to Yareya, daughter of Watlai

Though the ifrit don't have an equivalent of such a word, Ifyaa was more or less what humans would consider an orphan. His mother left when he was a very young boy, and the people of his city all took him in as one of their own. The entire city became his family. He carries their name in reverence, and will often shorten his own name to Ifyaa al-Mantiqi ibn Aisara-Qshek unless the need otherwise arises.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to go into this! I truly love the world and culture building of An-Nadr, and I'm delighted every time I get to scratch the surface.

Hi! Since I've been listening to a lot of North African and middle eastern artists lately I thought about making a bunch of posts where I talk about musicians that I found interesting. Each post will be about a specific artist from a specific country. The first three posts though will focus on Lebanese musicians. Not sure if it'll interest you but I'd appreciate if you give these posts a read! :)

A trip through Arabic music, Part 1: Lebanon

ISSAAM HAJALI

Issaam started his career in a local progressive rock band named Rainbow Bridge. When the war broke out in Beirut in 1975, him and his friend Rogér Fakhr (another relevant lebanese musician) fled to Paris where they continued working on their music. His debut album "Mouasalt Ila Jacad El Ard" was published in 1977 and was based on the works of the revolutionary Palestinian poet Samih Al-Quasim.

One of Hajali's most popular songs can be translated to "I, The Conscience Of The Speaker" and it's about, of course, resistance. During his musical career Issaam would made his political alignment very clear (he considered himself an ultra-leftist) and strongly condemned the actions of the Israeli army against the palestinian refugees in Beirut at the time.

(my favourite song so far!)

However, he slowly abandoned his career to focus on his family and now owns a jewelry shop in the capital.

I wonder if quasim (did I spell his name right?) Noticed y/n go missing or smth and how he is- (also love your works I love how you also teach and show about Islam and religion differences I think!)

he's runs a travel agency, so he's often away on trips for long periods where he cant contact with reader. he may get concerned when you dont respond to his emails, but i suppose that if reader were to return to the present time, she'll probably return to the day she first used the time machine and everything will be back to the way it was, that is if she hasnt messed up history.

im glad u enjoy my works and learn something <3333
