more on writing muslim characters 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: - “not even water?” (referring to fasting) - hijabis hear a lot of “do you sleep in that?” (we don’t) and “where is your hair?” (in a bun or a braid, usually) - “is it mooze-slim or mozzlem?” (the answer is neither, it’s muslim, with a soft s and accent on the first syllable) - “ee-slam or iz-lamb?” (it’s iss-laam, accent on the first syllable) - “hee-job?” (heh-jahb, accent on the second syllable)

- “kor-an?” (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 isn’t just covering hair, it’s 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 don’t like to mention it ( i wonder why) - henna/mehendi isn’t just for special occasions, you’ll see people wearing it for fun - henna/mehendi isn’t just for muslims, either, it’s 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 other’s 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 they’re from or what language they speak natively - muslim families tend to have multiple copies of the quran - there are no “versions” of the quran, there has only ever been one. all muslims follow the exact same book - muslims have no concept of taking God’s name in vain, we call on God at every little inconvenience - don’t use islamic phrases if you don’t 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 “God is Greatest” (often said when something shocks or surprises us, or if we’re scared or daunted, or when something amazing happens, whether it be good or bad; it’s like saying “oh my god”) - Subhan Allah means “Glory be to God” (i say subhan Allah at the sky, at babies, at trees, whatever strikes me as pleasant, especially if it’s in nature) - Bismillah means “in the name of God” and it’s just something you say before you start something like eating or doing your homework - In Shaa Allah means “if God wills” (example: you’ll be famous, in shaa Allah) (it’s a reminder that the future is in God’s hands, so be humble and be hopeful)

- Astaghfirullah means “i seek forgiveness from Allah” and it’s like “god forgive me” - Alhamdulillah means “all thanks and praise belong to God” and it’s just a little bit more serious than saying “thank god” (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 “amen” is “ameen” - muslims greet each other with “assalamu alaikum” which just means “peace be on you” and it’s like saying hi - the proper response is “walaikum assalam” which means “and on you be peace” and it’s like saying “you too”

Holy fucking christ

[big-bang-holmes-blog]

Would any if you peeps be interested in if I made a little post about spray paint? Like I want to show some people how I do it and maybe if y'all feel like it y'all can try it

[big-bang-holmes-blog]

Nobody said yes but

TO BAD

let’s

Do this

Step one

Get some supplies obviously, all you will need is

Spray paint (doesn’t even have to be much, you can do this with 3-4 colors or 1000)

Glossy paper. Photo paper also works, you can figure it out

Anything round to make the planet with that can cover it up

Determination

Also a snack.

Step two

Cover yo thang

You’re just gonna spray enough so that you’ll be able to make out the shape, you don’t need much at all and it’s even better if you don’t use much.

Look at that nice circle

Step three

color, this part is so fun and you can do anything you want with it, i made mine the pansexual flag

I know it looks crazy but trust me, you’re gonna have to cover it up with a few colors.

Think about where you want the light to come from, the black is the shadow farthest from the light, the white is where the light is shining on it and the yellow in the middle is so that it’s not so bland. For the color in the middle put whatever was underneath right there (or not I’m not your mom)

STEP FOURRR

You’re gonna ball up some paper and lay it over it, will the paper to get some if the paint up and lift

I wasn’t to happy so I did it again, you can do this as much or as little as you want.

This looks better to me.

Step whatever

More shadows, this is optional but I prefer it. Black in the bottom and white on the top as before but this time not as much so the color comes through

[big-bang-holmes-blog]

STEP TO THE LEFT NOW YALL

Okay cover it up againnnn

Paint that while thing black. The entire thing, completely. This is always fun

The bright side (light)

Okay this is optional but I love it, I’m gonna add light… Just look

sooo start with blue in the corner where it’s coming from and a bit in the other side behind the planet, stay with me on this.

White to brighten it up…..

Now another fun part

Stars

You can do this anyway you want, I just put on a glove and spray some on two of my fingers and flick it on but there’s loads of ways, check it.

THATS SO SIMPLE AND IT LOOKS AMAZING

now the reveal…..

[weirdpolishlastname]

SO PRETTY

[icebats]

I’m gonna be ill

[icebats]

“They are arguing that they shouldnt have to reunite them with their kids”

AND WHAT ALTERNATIVE, EXACTLY, DO YOU HAVE?

[icebats]

I literally just cant even keep up with every awful headline I see at this point

Even people who are naturalized citizens are at risk

And I’m hardly seeing anyone outside of news-oriented social circles talking about what may be coming in the wake of all of this

It all just keeps piling up

And more

And more

I feel like the point of no return for the initiation of a dystopian regime is far behind us and it makes me fucking sick

[parentless-suggestions]

“wow you’re so mature for your age!!?!?!?!!?!!?!?!!!!”

thanks, i raised me myself

[chryselephantinechaos]

Also see: “aren’t you too old now to be acting like this??!?!?!??!?!?!????”

i never had a real childhood

[fan-of-many-expert-of-none]

And also: “wow, how are you so good with kids?!?!?!?!?!?!”

Wow, its almost like the experience of being ignored and neglected and belittled as a kid makes me want to make sure no other kid feels the same way.

[sullina]

And: “wow you’re actually a really good listener???!?!??!???!!”

thanks, it’s because i always got werid looks that said “how dare you speak out of place, you should be infinitely grateful we’re not literally kicking you out as soon as you enter the room” everytime i so much as opened my mouth to share any kind of personal experience

[no-chill-at-all]

[sissy-that-walk]

[itsme98z]

YES. Make things clearer and more specific

[neuro-positivity]

Especially the first one! I have a really hard time knowing if somebody actually wants me to do something unless they are specific about the task and direct it towards me completely. 

[c0nji]

I think these will help clarify communications in general.

no offence but angels with their 6 wings, blazing halos, multitudes of eyes, 4 faces + booming voices are 100 times more terrifying than any demon I’ve ever seen a description of. oh it’s a dude with horns. that’s chill. come back when you’re an eternal arcane wheel of fire and maybe i’ll be afraid of you.
