Happy Yalda Night ❤️

Pomegranate is one of the symbols of Yalda night.

Yalda is the name of the longest night of the year in Iran. We Iranians celebrate this night. All families eat pomegranates, persimmons, nuts and watermelons on this night, people go to friends' and relatives' houses and stay awake more on this night, read poetry, talk and laugh with each other.

#✷ O BEJEWELED LAND! — CULTURE.

happy shabe yalda! شب یلدا مبارک

#I REMEMBERED THIS YEAR #i hope my iranian followers have a wonderful night filled with pomegranates and hafez poems <3 #ooc.

gorgeous women talking smack about the west.jpg and 5 seconds before azadeh drops the "but who am i judge"

#had this sudden urge to draw more cultural clothing #with lots of color and patterns!#it was a fun little exercise #if anyone is wondering who's who #afghanistan is to azadeh's left #iraq is to her right and uzbekistan is at the faaaar right #and ofc azadeh is in the middle lol #i'm putting the time of this drawing as some time during the 1800s #mostly cause of azadeh's qajar fashion being a staple of that decade #anyway felt good to draw my daughter again!#tumblr i'm begging u to not decimate the quality of this image #my art #ok to reblog!

i need to start putting some respect on azadeh’s name so instead of azadeh jan/joon i’m going to start referring to her as azadeh khanoom from now on ✊🏾

#jan/joon is just a more intimate or affectionate way of referring to someone #but khanoom basically means ma’am lol #azadeh jan/joon is still acceptable tho!#tbd.

@banamaak liked for a starter !! (it’s been so long i am so sorry)

[ nana's lip... curls. she crosses her arms in a way that is rather petulant for a forty year old woman! ] I'll say something. Your poetry--I don't even think it's very good. There, I've said it. [ her eyebrows raise. ] Perhaps nobody ever even wept over it. Perhaps they just told you that. [ her fingers dance over the inside of her arm as she says it. that might tell you nana is lying! ]

banamaak

Well- ...Well! [ azadeh scoffs. in fact, she's so incredulous that she scoffs again. the way she looks at nana, you would think the other woman just killed azadeh's firstborn and then spat at her feet! ] You know, I have a hard time believing that. You mean to tell me you read one of the magnificent works of my poet- regardless of what my neighbor to the east tells you- Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi and didn't weep? Not a single tear? Are you really so heartless? [she huffs, folding her arms and pouting in a gesture that almost perfectly mirrors nana's.] I just do not believe you.

#samaradiso #CAS THIS IS SO FUNNY JDAJDFHFHJ #ur right the relationship between georgia and iran is hilarious #and one that transcends definition imo #it's the way if she had insulted anything else azadeh wouldn't gaf #but by insulting her poetry ....#now it's PERSONAL #jdjjdkldskjdsfj

what's azadeh's relationship with England like?

Hm. [she inhales.] It's a bit... difficult to put into words really. I'm certainly not his biggest fan, if that's what you're asking. His little venture around my homeland in 1953 might not be much more than a tiny blip on his radar to him, but it was much more than that for me. I mean, it changed everything! [ she sighs and folds her arms, clearly very disgruntled!] I suppose I should have more anger towards him. And make no mistake, I certainly used to! I had enough rage in my body to move mountains! But... he's a decrepit old man now, and a bit pathetic, if you'd like me to be honest. And there are others who create much bigger problems for me to deal with. So, I think it's not that I've suddenly had a change of heart- I simply no longer feel as compelled to expend my energy on him. With that said, don't assume that means I am above a little lighthearted teasing! He makes it far too easy to get a rise out of him.

#anonymous #THANK U ANON #answering this ic just cuz

something that’s really funny to me is the dichotomy in how azadeh acts w/ other reps depending on where they’re from. like

azadeh with europeans (except england ://): 🥺🥰✨

azadeh with her neighbors: 👹👺🔪🤬

#shoutout to whatever her and the us of a have going on 🤪#it. it’s complicated! to me at least lol #and honestly most of her beef with her neighbors can be traced back to the west somehow #like yea they were fighting before but it’s worse now! the white man has em …#also if anyone is curious about her beef with england feel free to send an ask #so i can finally get the chance to talk about this beef ic 🌞#ok imma stop yapping now ✌️#tbd.
