@mislamicpearl
Me in a nutshell: Adultā. MuslimāŖ. Hijabiš§. Palestinian-JordanianšµšøšÆš“. Anime fan. Book fan. Cartoon fan. Indie games fan.
You can call me Pearl.
On this blog I mostly just post my random thoughts about whatever I'm currently watching/reading/playing/interested in.
For my art you can follow my side blog mispearlart
I mostly reblog posts to my other side blog mispearlreblogs (I post almost daily to that one)
Episode 4 thoughts:
I still really, REALLY hate Lobbo good Lord. Such an annoying character.
Aww Frak hearing "We're proud of you" from parental figures was so sweet
Hmm honestly thought Sora's parents came here for nefarious reasons but it seems like they're legit trying to redeem themselves to her. That's really nice!
FINALLY we get to see Arin and Frak being friends! Seriously I don't think we've had any real interactions between them since season 2 when Frak was introduced as Arin's best friend.
Okay they really need to turn off the Intelligent George show it's not good for their morale lol
So Arin could recognize Kryptor from a fuzzy video, but not Morro when he met him face to face? Come on if he's a ninja nerd I'm sure he must've heard about him, wasn't there a Morro statue at the museum??
Wow, they really couldn't wait to get rid of Pixal again as soon as they brought her back huhš Why do they even bother man?
Okay admittedly it's been a long time since I've watched season 3 of the og show and I don't remember what Kryptor was like, but he feels kind of off to me here. "Run! Scream! FEAR ME!" Lol really?
Aw yeah, now Frak's dad can join the ninja parents support group! But seriously I like this theme of the parents making an effort to connect with their kids, it makes a nice change from having the main characters cut off their families for good because they're completely incapable of changing. The new ninja are still kids, they need their actual parents.
Episode 3 thoughts:
LIBBER LORE?? HOLY CRAP!š
Kai suddenly blowing his top at Cole like that over people he JUST heard about from Jay was really weird, made me jump lol. I was honestly wondering if the weapon of destruction was somehow exacerbating everyone's negative emotions because that scene felt really forced (could still be true, it got a close up during that part and I think it was glowing)
Why is Cole always accusing Kai of only caring about himself??ā¹ļø
And Jay dissing the Finders like that omggg like I don't like the Finders at all but it's pretty mean of Jay to say that about people who became Cole's family during the years he was separated from the ninja. To be fair he just got his memories back so he's basically like the fandom when we were first introduced to the idea of Cole "replacing" the ninja (also it's just funny to have the show go a little meta there, poking fun at itself by criticizing the amount of times Cole has left the ninja to "hang out" with the Finders).
It was also weird how the rest of the ninja just.... changed their minds and decided to help Jay after he tried to sneak out on his own. What was the point of the argument then? PLEASE don't let the weapon get stolen while they rescue the gladiators...
You're telling me the same gladiators Jay first met are STILL there after all these years?? That's terribleš
Donovan is just despicable man. Hope we take him and the Administrator down before the end.
Sleeping watermelon brothersš„¹š„¹š„¹
Y'all I don't know how many people are fans of Mr. Frohicky, I personally am not, but I know a lot of people love Euphrasia and are really disappointed by her lack of screen time, so I just had this massive brainwave while drawing some Zane sketches:
What if Euphrasia had been given Mr. Frohicky's role instead?
God like it would've been so perfect, because it would make sense if she'd decided to stay with the ninja in order to better understand her powers, but prefer to mind the monastery while they go on missions because she's not interested in being a ninja and she's used to temple life, and then we could've had all this bonding between her and Zane and he would finally get his own pupil/next gen kid he's particularly close to like the others, and she would have more presence in the show without needing to sacrifice any screen time from Sora and Arin, and and and
Sooooo yeah, still feeling like this would've been a better direction to go now that Euphrasia officially joined the main cast anyway, but whatever.
Also just realized that if Euphrasia was going to end up joining the ninja anyway she could've been with them a lot earlier being the monastery's caretaker instead of Frohicky and becoming Zane's student, like I suggested way back in season 2! Oh well.
Heeheehee they're so cuteš„°
Also I was fully prepared to find every bit of interaction between them this season for shipping fuel but then Wyldfyre straight up confirms that Euphie has a crush on Arin this episode! Yay!š
Aaaaahh I love everything about this scene! The idiot trio back together again and doing stupid things, Lloyd scolding them, Zane trying to get out of trouble and then feeling guilty, THE FREAKING SAD FACES THEY MAKE when Kai talks about how long it's been omg they missed each other so much FINALLY they're acknowledging that!š
Also I've downloaded all the leaked episodes but I already saw like every spoiler that came on my dash because I have zero self control and uhhhhh I'll just say there's already things I really dislike about this seasonš©š©š©
This is now my favorite video on the internet.
So I just rewatched this again. Still my favorite Ninjago video of all timeš¤£

more on writing muslim charactersĀ from a hijabi muslim girl
- hijabis get really excited over pretty scarves - they also like to collect pins and brooches - we get asked a lot of questions and it can be annoying or it can be amusing, just depends on our mood and personality and how the question is phrased - common questions include: - ānot even water?ā (referring to fasting) - hijabis hear a lot of ādo you sleep in that?ā (we donāt) and āwhere is your hair?ā (in a bun or a braid, usually) - āis it mooze-slim or mozzlem?ā (the answer is neither, itās muslim, with a soft s and accent on the first syllable) - āee-slam or iz-lamb?ā (itās iss-laam, accent on the second syllable) - āhee-job?ā (heh-jahb, accent on the second syllable)
- ākor-an?ā (no. quran. say it like koor-annn, accent on the second syllable) - people tend to mess up our names really badly and you just get a sigh and a resigned nod or an awkward smile, maybe a nickname instead - long hair is easy to hide, short hair is harder to wrap up - hijab isnāt just covering hair, itās also showing as little skin as possible with the exception of face, hands, and feet, and not wearing tight/sheer clothing - that applies to men too, people just donāt like to mention it ( i wonder why) - henna/mehendi isnāt just for special occasions, youāll see people wearing it for fun - henna/mehendi isnāt just for muslims, either, itās not a religious thing - henna/mehendi is not just for women, men also wear it, especially on their weddings - there are big mehendi parties in the couple of nights before eid where people (usually just women and kids) gather and do each otherās mehendi, usually just hands and feet - five daily prayers - most muslim kids can stutter through a couple verses of quran in the original arabic text by the age of seven or eight, it does not matter where they live or where theyāre from or what language they speak natively - muslim families tend to have multiple copies of the quran - there are no āversionsā of the quran, there has only ever been one. all muslims follow the exact same book - muslims have no concept of taking Godās name in vain, we call on God at every little inconvenience - donāt use islamic phrases if you donāt know what they mean or how to use them. we use them often, inside and outside of religious settings. in islam, it is encouraged to mention God often and we say these things very casually, but we take them very seriously - Allahu Akbar means āGod is Greatestā (often said when something shocks or surprises us, or if weāre scared or daunted, or when something amazing happens, whether it be good or bad; itās like saying āoh my godā) - Subhan Allah means āGlory be to Godā (i say subhan Allah at the sky, at babies, at trees, whatever strikes me as pleasant, especially if itās in nature) - Bismillah means āin the name of Godā and itās just something you say before you start something like eating or doing your homework - In Shaa Allah means āif God willsā (example: youāll be famous, in shaa Allah) (itās a reminder that the future is in Godās hands, so be humble and be hopeful)
- Astaghfirullah means āi seek forgiveness from Allahā and itās like āgod forgive meā - Alhamdulillah means āall thanks and praise belong to Godā and itās just a little bit more serious than saying āthank godā (example: i passed my exams, alhamdulillah; i made it home okay, alhamdulillah) - when i say we use them casually, i really mean it - teacher forgot to assign homework? Alhamdulillah - our version of āamenā is āameenā - muslims greet each other with āassalamu alaikumā which just means āpeace be on youā and itās like saying hi - the proper response is āwalaikum assalamā which means āand on you be peaceā and itās like saying āyou tooā
Welp, I just finished binging all of School Bus Graveyard and now I'm depressed and bored again.š©
Actually I think there was a very easy way they could've saved the final episode, or at least made it a little better than what we got.
Instead of having Jax abstract and then Pomni going into his mindspace to save him, it could've been POMNI who abstracts and JAX could've gone into her mindspace to save her.
It wouldn't have fixed the entire show mind you, as it's already too late to give focus back to the rest of the cast by the finale, but at least it could've fixed the issue of Jax overtaking Pomni as the main character and Pomni having no character outside of enabling Jax.
Think about it: Pomni abstracting would have given us a chance to finally get more in depth about her character, while Jax trying to save her would have developed and redeemed his. It would have completed the arc started between them in episode 6 with Pomni's "what if I abstract tomorrow" question and given Jax an opportunity to be more than an irredeemable asshole.
Because imagine him seeing Pomni, whom he views as the person who believes she can "fix" him and has been trying so hard to get them out of the circus, finally give up, even before he does. Imagine if he decides that unlike with Ribbit, he doesn't want to just sit back and lose the closest thing he's had to a friend again, and goes after her knowing there's a real possibility he might end up going down with her in the process, which would be fine by him since he was going to abstract himself anyway.
And then we follow him as he goes through her own doors, where we learn along with him what her real impressions of each of the circus members are, her own doubts and fears, maybe even her own past in the real world, and all of it would've been new for us as the viewers but still perfectly explain her character and why she is the way she is (unlike with Jax where his doors didn't really tell us things we hadn't already known or guessed about his character before the Ribbit flashback), and he finally sees her as an actual person going through her own problems just like him. And when he meets her at the lamppost he sits down and tells her about his history with Ribbit, just verbally rather than through flashbacks because for once this isn't about him, and it's not about Ribbit either (unfortunately for her, but then she was always a backstory character anyway), it's about Pomni. And through helping Pomni Jax finally grows as a person and realizes it's possible to genuinely care about someone else enough to want to reach out to them and get them to open up for their own sake rather than to manipulate them, because that's what he's been denying that he feels about Pomni this whole time - he actually cares about her and doesn't want her to go.
And then maybe unlike Pomni in canon Jax IS able to save Pomni, maybe when Zooble pulls him out he has Pomni in his arms and the abstraction monster disappears, and then they have their hug and they both have hope again for this existence they're trapped in together, and the others see that something has changed within Jax even though he goes back to his usual jokester self, albeit a bit more subdued and less antagonistic, until Caine appears again. Or, if you like the more tragic ending/want to keep the permanence of abstraction more, Pomni isn't saved but at least Jax has changed, as were all the members of the circus who knew her, and this then could've been a show about how the main character, the actual main character, entered these troubled and trapped people's lives briefly and left them with a better outlook on their situation despite her sacrifice.
Okay I'm sorry to still be bringing up TADC but I just listened to this whole video and had to share it, because it explains literally EVERY problem I had with the finale and show overall (and not just about Jax but Caine and the format of the episodes in general) and it's just comforting to know I wasn't crazy for thinking these things.
