96 / Rebecca, 5 / 66 / Twelfth Night, II.4 121-122 / 87 / Black Sails, "VIII."
inspired by my latest decision to try out Wire , Thor has 1000% made social media accounts with everything under the sun ----------- and then considered the job done .
all except for Instagram , which lbr , he only started posting on and actively maintaining because he made the account under @bendygirl‘s supervision and guidance . every other account is empty , and currently sits empty , because Thor thinks that making the account is the first and last step towards a thriving social media life .
they’re all official accounts , so you know he has millions followers and subscribers across each one . but they’re also all bare .
THE CHAMBER IS FIREBALLED, MATT?
muslim!Eggsy hcs*
- he's super dilligent with his prayers , but sometimes knee-deep in a mission he'll forget one ... or two ... sometimes three ... in which case he looks up to the sky and yells “ soz. i'll make 'em up , yeah ? ” and continues on with his work. post-mission , u bet he makes up all his prayers before even thinking about sleeping
- took him ages to remember HOW to pray , though. not for a lack of trying , but praying in a mosque was always daunting. other men sometimes suspected him of being a tourist , a Religious Studies student just lost on his way. sometimes he'd pray wrong and get side-eyed by other people in the Mosque. thank god for his canon Muslim girlfriend , ready to teach him right.
- and following on from this , in the initial months Eggsy carried a crumpled piece of paper with him that contained all the prayers , how to pray them , and how long each one was.
- Isha prayer was so long for him , initially , that Eggsy took a movie break in between praying. soon came to realise that watching 20 minutes of Die Hard in between what is meant to be a spiritual connection to God ain't exactly the best move. his canon Muslim girlfriend has not the heart to tell him about Taraweeh prayers , yet -- the ones during Ramadan , extra extra long.
- “ but i’ll still get Christmas presents , yeah ? ”
- no sex before marriage honestly ain't a problem. look , Eggsy’s not a one-night stand , casual relationship sorta guy. and he loves his Canon Muslim Girlfriend , he's in love with her and in love with everything she stands for. and he'd wait a thousand lifetimes for her , reduced to hearteyes and holding her hand and occasionally , if he's lucky , getting to kiss her on the cheek ( !!! )
- is learning Arabic but struggles with languages in general. in the meantime , he just knows basic words and phrases that signify the beginning / end of prayers , or " Allahu Akbar " , God is Great , which in prayers signifies a transition -- and reads the Quran with English translation
- occasionally wears some variation of the Shalwar Kameez and looks STUNNING in it
- Eggsy on google : Adidas Shalwar Kameez
- “ no Haribos ? you're fuckin' kidding me. why the fuck they gotta add this gelatine shit to everythin' ? what the fuck are muslims supposed to eat ? "
- “ oh and look , KFC ain't halal either. what the fuck. ”
- giving up pork ? ain't a problem , unless he's stayin' at his mums , because you bet she makes the most delicious bacon sandwiches the world has ever seen. Eggsy takes every precaution necessary to ensure that succulent smell doesn't reach his nostrils ----------------- yet as it turns out Michelle is more than understanding and just ??? doesn't cook it , when he's around. wot a g.
- gets depressed and frankly , quite angry , when he overhears his neighbours calling his conversion to Islam a “ phase ”. but if anything , it makes him wanna try harder to be a better Muslim.
- prays regularly for Kingsman’s Middle Eastern and Asian counterparts , hoping they’ll have the strength and capabilities to annihilate Daesh one day
- “ why the fuck are people callin’ them muslims ? we ain’t affiliated to them wankas. ”
- alcohol is ....................... still a fighting battle. he drinks less , for sure , but is still accustomed to just ordering a drink , to taking a sip without thinking , to succumbing to peer pressure when he's out with friends
- speaking of friends , Jamal is Eggsy's Hero. Jamal wasn't brought up a strict Muslim , but has family members that are more devout , and therefore knows his fair share about Islam and whatnot. you bet Jamal got calls from Eggsy at the most random hours , with questions , or problems. and sometimes NEITHER of them knew the answer , and it was the beginning of a new and stressful mission.
- Eggsy on google : can I rap the Quran or is that bad
- Eggsy loves how the Muslim community feels like an extended family , almost -- in how warm and welcoming they are , and how regardless of whether you know a person , being a Muslim brings everyone together. he loves how they call each other their " Muslim brothers " , how there's a solidarity amongst religious folk that he's never witnessed before. he’s fit in so seamlessly it’s almost surreal , to him. and he's made a lot of new friends.
- has never been to Ilford before , but now that he's a Muslim ... the venture for halal food / halal meat leads him to this place -- and boy ! it's an experience
- knows he has to do hajj / umrah one day , and has read up on it thoroughly , but finds the concept incredibly daunting , especially as his girl won't be there to guide him every step of the way
- doesn't agree with segregation , the concept pisses him off -- where it makes sense in the mosque but doesn't outside of it , to him at least. but of course , holds his tongue on the subject , and obliges. and it’s one of the places where upbringing clashes with religious requirements , because Eggsy in a Muslim family would not struggle with certain concepts as much as he is now -- brought up the way he was , and suddenly conforming to different ideals
- still doesn’t believe in Djinn.
- was blown away the first time he properly heard a recitation of the Qur’an , mesmerised by the almost-melodic flow of its verses and how beautiful it sounded in the right hands , with the right voices.
- Eggsy , being well aware that white men like him are the reason Muslims struggle to live their lives on the daily. especially Muslim women.
- hopes his death involves protecting every single woman on the planet because wow he knew women struggled on the daily but now that his perspective has broadened to Muslim women living in the West ? WOW. there are some things he , as a white man , will never truly know , and it breaks his heart
- gives away his old hoodies to women who wear the headscarf , in case they ever feel endangered or threatened and need to hide their hijab in any way
fellas is it gay to
