This is how I’m imagining Martin from now on and I don’t take criticism

Noice

can a guy not braid his hair in peace

the fact that jonathan means “gift of god/gift from god” (x)

and sims means “the listener” or “he who hears” (x) (x) 

but i can’t write any cool analysis about how Jon’s name fits into the thematic elements of the narrative bc Jonny just straight up plagiarized his birth certificate will never stop making me angry 

This could never happen due to them both being flagrant bisexuals but just lean into the comedy of this for me real quick and dont accuse me of biphobia am literally bi but like jon and georgie break up cos georgie is like oh shit. im a girl. and whats more shes a lesbian and she hems and haws on it for a bit like should i tell him because as far as she knows jon is a het girl but her relationship w jon is on the rocks anyways so its just like. the excuse they need to actually bite the bullet n break up. so she goes to him and tells him and shes like trying not to cry cos she likes jon and doesnt wanna break his heart or anything but jons just like. oh god. i was just about to tell you im a gay man. and they break up. unfortunately this would not work w the rest of tma because this would create a fucking unbreakable bond and she and jon would be bffs

Writing a Muslim Character

The Mods of the Magnus Writers discord server and community are putting together a variety of resources for Magnus Archives fan creators; these have been collated from articles on the topics, our own experiences, and the experiences of the members of the Magnus Writers discord. These are definitely not comprehensive or the only viewpoints out there, and are by no means meant as a way to police fanworks, but as a way to support and inspire fan creators in creating thoughtful and diverse works. Please note that external links will be added in a reblog to outsmart tumblr’s terrible tagging system, so make sure to check those out as well!

This resource in particular was put together by Mod Jasmine: hi, all! 

While there are no canonically Muslim characters in TMA, Muslim headcanons are common in fanworks—particularly for Basira, and sometimes Jon (which I love to see!). I have cobbled together this post from my own experiences to help support and inform fans in these areas, and as part of my diabolical plan to get more Muslim!Basira and Muslim!Jon fics to shove into my brain.

First, two gigantic caveats:

I was raised Sunni Muslim in Egypt, which is a majority Sunni Muslim country, and still live there. This means my experience will be very different from someone raised in a majority Christian country like the UK, and different again if they are not Sunni and not Arab.

I am currently ex-Muslim. This does not mean I bear any ill will towards Islam or Muslims, just that it wasn’t for me, and I felt it was important to be upfront about that. I’ll be linking to resources by practicing Muslims in the reblog to this post, whether to add to my opinions and experiences or provide you with a different opinion. I am not here to put my voice over that of Muslims, just to do some of the work so they don’t have to. Obviously, if any Muslims have any additions or suggestions for this post, I’m happy to accommodate them.

Alright. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get started with the basics of writing a Muslim character.

(Warning: this is absurdly, absurdly long)
