This isn’t related to my blog aesthetic but I’m tired of seeing posts where people are making others paranoid that they’re in a coma or something. You’re not. I know lots of us know it’s just a bad “joke,” but some people don’t have the luxury of being able to believe that after seeing others tell them otherwise.
You’re awake. Everything is okay.
dere you go
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”
Ok tumblr do your thing you did for me let’s go and please this is not a joke she needs all the help in the world so let’s do this for her
This is the list of facts of Faustisse’s latest stream …which for some reason I cant watch :’v (maybe ‘cause I live in Narnia). Thanks to @kiddoryder and “Hazbin Hotel Italia” on facebook (cool group!) who helped me to get the facts.
1. The thumbnail’s pic is the Von Eldritch family’s dining room table
2. All the comics are prequels
3. There are estimated dates for the comics. For Charlie’s comic: October, for Angel Dust’s comic: this month and for Alastor’s comic: MAYBE next month.
4. Lucifer’s heavily involved in Charlie’s prequel comic
5. Lucifer’s backstory will be explained only in the show, not the comics
6. Faust gave the names of the whole Von Eldritch family. The son is Seviathan (Charlie’s ex), the daughter is Hellsa (Charlie’s rival), the father Frederick and the mother Bethesa.
7. Velvet is the craziest of the Vs group, being Vox and Val the more level headed
8. Lucifer has wings
9. Lucifer doesnt cooks cause his idea of “cooking” is carnival food
10. Alastor isn’t planning to be an overlord he doesn’t desire power (*gasp*)
11. What happened to Vaggie’s eye is a spoiler (I think whoever hurt her, did it with an angel weapon, otherwise her eye would have regenerated by now).

13. Lucifer and Lilith are loyal to each other and they love each other very much
14. Husk is tall but not as tall as Angel
15. Vox was in his 30-40s when he died

19. Angel Dust’s comic was supposed to be finished and posted last year but “something happened”.
20. Valentino is 3 meters tall
21. Lucifer loves his family immensely but he’s not a good father
(link in the source of the post, although Im afraid only a few countries are able to watch the video, maybe Faust will reupload it later idk)
