Can I play a good game instead?

No team rocket? But Giovanni is a total DILF.

Something I keep coming back to when thinking about Jamil is that, among the OB! Students, he might be the one who’s twisted from a disney “good guy” as much (or even more) than from the respective villain. And yes, I’m well aware that none of the characters are very one-note Disney villain, but with Jamil it just strikes such a chord with me.

Of course, he represents Jafar who has always resented being second best and who betrays the sultan to overtake the Nr. 1 position and all the power that comes with it. And during Book 4 (and now also Book 7), we can see Jamil equally backstabbing Kalim and planning to continue with the other housewardens and the headmage. That’s not a hot take, I understand that (whaaaat Jamil is twisted from Jafar?? Who would’ve guessed /j)

But with Jamil, I feel like his motivation for striving for power is a little different. For someone who has grown up in the world of the Asim family and has been with Kalim his entire life, I believe Jamil equates power with his actual goal in life: freedom.

So when he says “You really are my genie of the lamp, Azul” it felt sooo ironic to me, because it’s you! You are the genie, Jamil!

Just like the Genie’s “phenomenal cosmic power, but itty-bitty living space”, Jamil objectively has a lot of intelligence, talent and drive to excel at something, yet the space he has in which he can live and cultivate those aspects of his personality is very, very limited.

Both characters are also forced into their prison by the circumstances of their birth. Jamil was born into the Viper family, Genie was born a genie, and now they have to spend a lifetime of granting the wishes of other people.

For them to gain the freedom they so desperately want, both characters rely on the mercy of the people they serve, who they are useful to. But deep down they know their wish won’t ever be granted.

Genie has been promised his freedom a lot of times, just for the person’s third wish to be for their own gain after all when push comes to shove. Jamil has heard Kalim call him his best friend, just to turn around the next second and demand something else of him, wielding his power over him once more.

Besides, even if Kalim did give Jamil his freedom (if he even can, considering his family might step in), it’s shown that Jamil cares very deeply for his family, so I don’t think he would consider it “freedom” if his family was still serving the Asim household, which has an even slimmer chance of ever changing.

So yeah, I find the inspiration Jamil’s character takes from the Genie so interesting and at the same time it makes me want to tear out my heart. Please, he deserves so much (peace and quiet most of all) and I want to give him everything ㅠㅠ

Friendly reminder that this blog doesn't support anyone who ships Max x Pip!

If you ship them, or even consider it a "dark romance", then get the fuck away from my blog.

If you come onto my posts saying, "You can't judge people for this ship! Just let people ship what they want to ship!!!", I'm here to tell you that I will judge you if come here supporting a ship that includes a canon rapist.

This blog will completely judge you for shipping Max and Pip. That's a disgusting ship. Fuck off and do not interact with me at all if you think it's okay to ship Max and Pip.

request for playlists!

as i am about to finish s3 and begin s4, i feel that i am at a place in which i can enhance my morning commute by putting on txf playlists. so if anyone has spotify playlist recs... pls feel free to drop a link <3

i mean obviously i still have a WHILE to go, but!!! i am well-established at this point. i love individual character playlists AND ship playlists! i love playlists that are “fox mulder would certainly listen to these songs” and playlists that are “these songs are literally about MSR and Phoebe Bridgers CLEARLY was watching season 3 when she penned this"

alicent and sansa with your bright red hair you are my enemy

stop trying to be ygritte you both could never

you have brown and auburn hair respectively with a side of some pretty misogynistic crazy fans who hate the hot dragon ladies

rhaenyra and dany you will both forever be famous

and stop stealing the winter roses rip my boy jon your symbolism is too cool too pretty so thieves are snatching it up bc for some reason little birds just aren’t good enough so a pretty flower is needed as well

i know this beef has long passed but almost every sansa fanart has a winter rose in it while i think i’ve only ever seen one fanart with jon holding some winter roses. the thieves have cleared my boy out and forced him into something so disturbing so gross so horrid so nasty and called it jonsa

they tried replacing satin with sansa it’s horrible

jonsatin is the real jonsa

it’s the truth

i’m a bi jon truther

i genuinely do not know what the point of this post is

I'm kinda mad at him after he tried to convince Kal to k!ll himself but I think he's a great charcter with lots of depth and your pinned post was so interesting because it said so much about moash! Anyway sorry bye!!!

Hello!!! Thank you!! I apologize for inflicting that post on you, but I'm glad you read/enjoyed it! ty for letting me know <3<3<3

from the river to the sea is a phrase calling for liberation only, and if you believe otherwise you're either an ignorant child or worse, a grown adult thats been gladly spoon-fed propaganda and its useless for me to debate either. at this point in time, with a death toll in the tens of thousands, i am not going to plead with morons on the internet to look inside hearts that they don't have. but i can and will be louder!

if you're american or somewhere in the west, such as myself, there's a good chance you've been able to remove yourself from what you're seeing. because it's so far away, it can never, ever touch you. right? you're allowed to have a neutral stance on this, because there's just so much going on in your life, because there's nothing you can do about it anyway, right?

except the truth is imperialism is enough to crush every one of us, even when it's weight is bearing down somewhere in the world far removed from you. as people have been saying, over and over to try to get you to listen -- until every single one of us is free, none of us are. so if you don't have it in you to care for life other than your own, you must recognize that this is a threat to you as well. this is a matter of human rights and if you haven't begun to care, if you haven't made an effort toward educating yourself or others, if you haven't spoken about this at all, for the love of god, it's time to start.

y'know it's funny that they block evaded to keep using ableist arguments and accuse ME of "forcing syscourse on CDDs who don't give a shit", not only because it proved that this wasn't just "I'm uncomfortable seeing it" through going out of their way to reblog from another blog and therefore not making ANY attempt to curate their own experience, but ALSO through their main having a pinned about "here's proof endos are valid", meaning this also had to do with their OWN syscourse opinions.

So here, reminder! Block the goddamn anti endo tag if you don't want to see those posts. If you don't want your feed feeling clogged with "this post is hidden", start blocking the blogs that come up with those posts! And endos and pro-endos, FUCKING BLOCK ME INSTEAD OF COMING AT ME ON MY BLOG AND BEING ABLEIST PIECES OF SHIT, LET ALONE THEN TRY TO JUSTIFY IT BECAUSE YOU CANT BE ASSED TO CURATE YOUR OWN FEED BETTER.

Issa's fundraiser has stopped getting donations in these past 3 days. It was up since March and only in June did he start getting any money. If you go onto Issa's blog, you will see a video of aides being dropped on the people of Gaza. This is the indignity that the West has subjected them to. Dropping barely nutritional and sometimes even edible food and then simultaneously dropping bombs on the people.

So please, please donate and boost his fundraiser. As you can see, he only needs €5000 euroes and is currently at €1068.

This is a manageable goal, if we come together then we can raise the money. So please donate and, if you cannot then boost his posts. You will find him at @essaq

Remember that tumblr is deliberately shadowbanning and terminating Palestinian accounts, even though all they are doing is trying to raise money to evacuate or buy food/medicines. 2 week or so ago when I last talked to Issa, he said he had trouble getting internet to even reply to any dms. So it is on us to keep circulating their fundraisers.

Issa's fundraiser is vetted by @/nabulsi.
