Much as I would love to see a Muslim/hijabi woman on tv. Most likely wouldn't want to be on tv since it goes against their beliefs. I'm ok with Natacha in this role bc I love her and I appreciate what LS has done with showing respect as the show has continued

[response to my post here]

First off, thank you for the insight/feedback on the accuracy, and the prayer part in particular! I had thought the location she was praying in was inaccurate but that wasn’t something I saw mentioned a lot at the time of the initial backlash to that scene. So I appreciate the information. 💜

I definitely head canon that when Owen rebuilt the firehouse (for the 2nd time!) he made sure there was a dedicated quiet room. Not only would it be important to have for Marjan or anyone else that works at the firehouse with them of Muslim faith to pray in, but also they have stressful and emotional jobs! Having a dedicated safe space at the firehouse to go when you need that kind of quiet privacy just makes sense to me.

As far as the casting part first: I think Natacha has done a great job and I appreciate the fact that she spoke up to the showrunners after hearing feedback from Muslim viewers. and from what I heard of her talking at the most recent convention, she has some great ideas of exploring various intersectionality that is found within that religion and I think that’s great and really hope they do explore some of those things.

My desire for an actual hijabi woman to have been chosen for this part was mainly based off experiences I witnessed from a previous fandom, Skam. IDK if you ever watched it, but the 4th season focused on a Muslim girl in high school, Sana, played by an actress who was actually Muslim, Iman Meskini, who was fantastic. The show writer/creator/producer relied a lot on her knowledge and lived experience when filming things. Then the Skam remakes happened… and another iteration of the show did not bother to get an actual Muslim to play that character and I remember very vividly the negative experiences a lot of the Muslim people in fandom had based off choices that were made and how that character was portrayed. Iman herself spoke up about how much better it was to have someone with the lived experience, who knew what it was like, acting in a role like that. I love this quote from her too: "I never dreamt about being an actress, because I never saw an actress with hijab on. I didn’t even see it as an option or a possibility at all until I became that example that it is possible."

I definitely can appreciate and understand how nuanced the discussion of actors playing parts that aren’t their own experience truly is though. I think the wars that are waged online about actors who play queer parts especially is a big thing happening in culture right now and I truly understand a lot of varying sides to those kinds of discussions. I know it might not always be possible for own voices actors to play parts like this, but I just feel like the best case scenario in a role like Marjan would have been for it to be played by a hijabi woman. That doesn’t mean I think Natacha is in the wrong for taking the role or that it was a terrible mistake for her to have been cast. Just that there was a better scenario that I had hoped for, that didn’t end up happening. and that's okay.

Now the corn silo story: That interview with Natacha where she said there were things that got cut from that storyline makes me really sad because I wish we could have gotten a better resolution to it. Maybe it would have been exactly what you're mentioning here too - clarifying for the viewers that not everyone in the mosque felt that way and it was just pettiness amongst some of them. Sadly, I guess we'll never know exactly what that would have looked like. It makes me a little sad that the only time we've even seen the mosque she goes to was in that episode in season one. I really really hope we get a chance to see some more storylines for Marjan that can include her faith and her mosque but more of how they're positively impacting her life instead.

(I don't have any relevant Marjan reaction gifs since I mainly use my fave Paul, so have this gif of her being absolutely adorable instead)

Do you feel something too when you see Sea and his collection of older men?

SEA DISAPPEARING FOR HOURS ON END AT THE GMMTV OUTING ONLY TO BE FINALLY SPOTTED SOME TIME LATER SANDWICHED BETWEEN TAY AND ARM IS GENUINELY SO ON BRAND FOR HIM I DESPERATELY NEED TO DISSECT THIS MAN UNDER A MICROSCOPE AND STUDY HIS GRAVITATIONAL PULL TOWARDS OLDER MEN IN A LAB AIDED BY A TEAM OF PROFESSIONAL SCIENTISTS

look i said it before and i will say it again until someone at GMMTV finally sees the vision and makes it happen but it's honestly insane to me that no director has yet to use sea and his very own personal collection of older men in a show like im so serious just throw jimmy, force, book, earth, mix, tay, off, and the new additions great and inn in a series about the dating life of a gay man looking for true love, sea would nail that kind of role, especially with how flirty and pouty he can get, and we would get to see him kissing all the men IT'S TRULY A WIN-WIN SITUATION IMMA BE HOLDING A MASS MANIFESTATION PARTY AT MY HOUSE IN FIVE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN

#SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. YEAH I DO BE FEELING SOME TYPE OF WAY ABOUT IT #I TRULY NEED THAT SEA + OLDER MEN SERIES SO BADLY LIKE I KNOW P'JOJO COULD PULL THAT OFF AND THERE'S REALLY NO REASON FOR HIM NOT TO DO IT #IM ALREADY STARTING TO PRAY FOR GMMTV 2025 #ANYWAY. thank you for sending me this and sharing the vision with me!!!!! #hope you're having a wonderful day!!!!!! 💜 #sea tawinan #tay tawan #arm weerayut #m: ask

ASH! There is no one like you. Your art is so BOLD and creative and genuinely awe-inspiring. I admire all the slutty, slutty things you make Ed and Stede get up to, while also making them look so pretty and colorful. So glad we have you in this fandom. 💕

I seriously don't have words 😭😭😭😭 have some memes instead 😭😭😭💖🧡💚💙💜💖

Thank you so much marianne!!! 😭💖💜💙💚💛🧡❤️💖😭

#honestly this ask might have broken me a little #i have an unhealthy amount of imposer syndrome #and a general anxiety of shyness around my mutuals and any kind of audience #I'm desperate to make things and share them and i love more than anything hearing people love the things i make as much as i do #I've been in fandom spaces for a really long time #(bitch is old) #and ive never been uplifted like i have by the ofmd fandom 💜💜💜 #I've had my work stolen or traced in previous fandoms #bullied or harassed or made to feel pathetic #and more often than that I've been kinda on my own in a little corner making stuff and easy to ignore/forget #i have a lot of fear about being unwanted or discarded or upsetting people #i just love to draw and get my little rainbow brainworms out into my art #and i love sharing them #and for so long that really was enough #it truly was #but after OFMD? after this crew? after this space of warmth and excitement and growth and queer joy?? #finding connections and making friends and clowning with you and drawing prompts and making memes and being in big bangs and zines?! #getting to illustrate fics and have my art inspire fics?? making friends with my mutuals who write and draw and make beautiful gifs?! #this has been the most fun ive ever had on the internet #and im so grateful #and overwhelmed #and thankful #and just everything altogether all at once #thank you so much

A while back we got an announcement for a new BL called Eye Contact the series. But before even getting a cast announcement we get workshop clips and Bank is in this.

I don't even do Easter yet here I am getting showered in presents. Let's hope Bank finally got himself a main role. 🙏

Saturday Six (Stuff)

I'd been feeling severely anxious and depressed about my business being dead, and the thought of having to talk to my parents and ask for help again, but luckily my whinging (an Ad) on Facebook seems to have worked, and I got a nice little customer job. Plus some stuff from my BFF and her family (possibly).( ´͈ ॢꇴ `͈ॢ)･*♡

Plus I'm getting weird customer messages. Always a good time.(⑅ ‘﹃’ )

Leeloo is a cute kitten, but she is seriously a little bit of a terrorist. When I say she gets into everything I mean it. (^・ω・^ )

I do not like having this sinus crud that's going around.(*｀へ´*)

I know both options for the USA presidency are terrible. But one (CHUMP) is more terrible. I'm tired of the argument. I'm gonna stick with the slightly better Grandpa Joe. Not because I love him, because I don't. But because he's the one that'll get us closer to where we need to go. We may take three steps forward and two steps back, but at least we're going in the right direction. Whereas the other guy has no idea where he's going. Maybe towards Vladimir. More likely than you think.( •̀ω•́ )σ

I can't believe I'm going to be five and a half decades old in a little over a month. Jfc. I don't feel that old. (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑

Good night/day Ian!!

I'm sending this ask bc I've decided to make a small animatic/TikTok video for this song, which reminds me a lot of Jamil in general :OO I'm gonna make it about my own oc x canon but I wanted to see bc it reminds me of Yuusha and Jamil a lot too, especially this part💙

hi hi mah!! :0000

AAAHH the song sounds so upbeat but all i could think about is the ANGST with these lyrics 😭

im so eugnghdsfksdljasjl

like oughhh the hurt is so real ;;;; i can see why it reminds you of jamil 😭😭😭

it doesnt help that i have been drawing yuusha and jamil's messy pre-relationship/"friendzone" stage which is where i think this fits them so much 😖

(i’ll share some of those doodles rn rn and I'll ramble for a bit🚶💨💨💨)

Even though I'm so close to you The distance between us doesn't mix, I'm the only one who hurts Right now I'm just looking at your profile

HELP IN MY MIND IT SO FITS ---

for them i like the idea that yuu is gonna have a hard time making eye contact with jamil especially bc of what he did

also also pre-book 4 we technically see the scarabia duo in book 2 and that's when yuusha gets that ✨crush✨ and then all feelings were lost during book 4 for obvious reasons

(and then something something they grow closer afterwards because of certain incidents)

and i absolutely love the dynamic of "they-dont-realize-their-true-feelings-for-one-another-and-they-both-deal-with-it-differently"

#i believe damali and jamil also have that dynamic? :00 #alhglsdkjf ALSO thank you so much for sharing this with me btw!!! #im so happy it made you think of yuusha and jamil too <333 #[— #twst #twisted wonderland #★ my art #✦ asks #twst art #twst oc x canon #twst yuu #twst yuusona #(💜) yuusha #(💜) jamiyuu #jamil x yuu #jamil viper #☆ oc rambles #—]

I was just watching once upon a Time with the mad hatter and I saw the scene where he kidnaps the blonde girl and drugs are and brings her into his house gives her tea with some type of drug and I was wondering if you might do a story like that but after he drugs her he ravages her and has wild sex with her would that be something that you would want to write about I mean if you're not comfortable with it that's fine I understand

Oh I love this idea, nonnie! Are we talking like somnophilia or does he wait for her to wake up? Which one were you thinking? Also would you be comfortable with a pregnancy kink? No real pregnancy, just the kink of cumming inside and whatnot.

Let me know and while it might take me a while, I think I can definitely write you a good one for this idea!💜💜 Thank you so much for stopping by💜💜💜💜💜

[stormyoceans]

MONICA!!!!!! The concert was so good!!!! 😭😭😭 I’m assuming you’re ok with spoilers so here goes 😬

The first half of the show was them playing and recreating the key scenes and singing in them which I thought would trigger me tbh but instead I think it did me good to see the scenes I loved again 🥹 and Jimmy, Mark and Sea were so freaking good they cried in some scenes and I cried seeing them cry and it was so emotional again!!! I really wanna go back and rewatch all the good parts now, it’s still 80% a really good series!!

And they did Blame the Stars together!!! And you saw they did the “can I have my shirt back” scene!!! 😵🫠

(They played the breakup scene but not the reconciliation, it kinda just skipped to “happy ending” and I’m actually glad that we don’t have to rehash all of that)

They did full group songs and unit songs and what got to me was that MarkNamtan and OhmFilm did songs but so did NamtanFilm and MarkOhm!!! The NamtanFilm song was 😙👌

They did a whole Vice Versa medley!!! They did it for me!!! 😄 I was so happy and excited to see it!!! I hope that gets more of the newer fans to go watch it!!!

Jimmy, Mark and Sea had solo moments too, love that for them!!

They were surprised with a fan made video in support of them!! 🥰

Their speeches at the end were emotional and everyone cried, including me 🥹 Sea went second to last and Jimmy went last and he spoke the most 😁

It was just under 4 hours long, it started a little late (as all GMM concerts do tbh) but it was so good and worth only getting 4 hours of sleep 😅 I really hope you get to see it and enjoy it too!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR LIVE STREAMING EXPERIENCE OF THE LAST TWILIGHT CONCERT WITH ME KAREN!!!!!!!!

ngl reading this and seeing all the clips on twitter is making me want to buy the ticket for the rerun so badly like i always knew it was gonna be great and that everyone was gonna give their all but damn. the concert actually felt so well organized and thought out, i love that they basically turned the show into a musical and gave space for all kind of performances and pairings!!!!!! i've always wanted a duet version of blame the stars and im so happy they finally gave it to us!!!!!! and seeing namtanfilm and markohm slow dance alongside jimmysea was such a blessing THEY TRULY SAID THERE AIN'T NO STRAIGHT PEOPLE LEFT IN THIS SHOW

i really wasn't expecting it, but tbh i feel the same way as you. i think this did me good. maybe im just saying this because i haven't seen any videos of the break up scene so i can just keep pretending it never happened, but the parts i did see are kind of healing the hurt i've been feeling over the last three episodes of the show and bringing back all the love and excitement i used to have for morkday

ALSO NOT TO BE DRAMATIC BUT JIMMYSEA SINGING THE ENTIRETY OF THE VICE VERSA OST WITH A BRIGHT PINK STAGE SURROUNDING THEM MADE ME CRY LIKE A BABY like i truly did not expect them to bring vice versa up because last twilight is what brought them the popularity they always deserved so i was afraid they would kinda forget about vice versa, but im honestly just so ridiculously happy and emotional to know that it's still in their heart. or at least that they know it's still in ours, even if we may be a minority in the fandom now

i already had a meltdown over jimmysea this morning and i really can't afford another one and i don't think i would even have the words to express everything i feel but. im just so proud of them. it's honestly insane to me that they were able to pull off a performance like this in such a short period of time and with such a busy schedule. their dedication, their hard work, their kindness..... I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS THESE TWO BOYS DESERVES ALL THE LOVE AND RECOGNITION IN THE WORLD

#THIS IS SO LONG AND YET I FEEL LIKE THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER THINGS I WANTED TO SAY AND SCREAM ABOUT #BUT ALSO I FEEL SO EMOTIONALLY FLAYED OPEN I DON'T THINK I COULD SAY ANOTHER WORD #IM JUST SO HAPPY JIMMYSEA GOT TO HAVE THIS AND THAT IT WAS SUCH A HEALING EXPERIENCE FOR US #THANK YOU AGAIN FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE AND YOUR FEELINGS WITH ME KAREN!!!!!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜 #jimmysea #karen 🧡 #m: ask

[chloelouygo]

can i gently ask for a little bit of info about your ocs? what are they like? :3

AAAA the gentle ask, you know how to get to me 😌💜 Kayden (they/he, bi, grey eyes, teal hair, 26 y/o) was the first character I started to flesh out in my head, they've all been through so many iterations in my mind but they were the first one who came to me this time around ig?? They're a complete golden retriever, a happy go lucky lil baby, a little menace, and such good fun to be around! They're bilingual (French/English), a complete slut (affectionate-) and unironically love girlypop from the mid 2000s. A vegan, anti-capitalist punk who goes out every night, but can't sleep alone. Loves classic literature and is definitely smarter than he acts sometimes. Very much in love with Zabeth, though he'd not admit it. 💙 Playlist

Alix (he/him, bi, blue-green eyes, red hair 26 y/o) is Kayden's best friend, the pair met at uni and quickly realised they balanced eachother out well. He's a black-cat, sterotypical "friend's-older-brother-is-a-dealer" type guy, looks so grumpy but would do anything for his sister and bestie, and will absolutely beat you up if you look at him wrong. But he's a sweetie underneath❤❤ Inseparable from Zabeth, was a father-figure to her growing up as their parents weren't around, and cherishes her dearly. Is an atrocious cook, swears in every sentence, and is probably high at any given moment. Playlist

Zabeth (Elizabeth) (she/her, bi, blue-green eyes, purple hair, 25 y/o) is my babygirl💜 Alix's baby (by like, a year-) sister, and Kayden's flatmate, she's a long suffering sweetie of their antics, helping clean up their messes. Very much in love with Kayden, though she'd not admit it (notice anything?-). Cares for her stupid brother endlessly and has the best time being the apple of his eye💜 Loves trashy TV, animals and plants, is so excited to move out of an apartment just so she can have a garden to nurture. Playlist

They all dye their hair together once a month in a ridiculous ritual that uses all the hot water up; they all hang out whenever they can and go to gigs or just get stoned together at home; they all call eachother silly nicknames which would never ever fly if anyone else tried to use them lmao

#I edit the playlists like every other day lmao I expect no one to ever look at them except me #i love listening to them on my drive to work switching playlists according to my mood #if anyone except kayden or zabeth (or me ig as their writer) dares to call alix 'ixy' so help me god you'd be missing a tooth by his fist #i have an 8 page word doc of kayden's lore i'm sorry for the infodump 🙈 #me: 'oh my god i'm so shyyyyy-' #also me: 'anyway here's everything i have so far-' #i'm so glad i can share with you all! #tysm for asking idk i'm so new to sharing OCs that it means more than you know for anyone to take interest 😭💜💜 #like I KNOW yall are lovely but i have to overcome my ick of being in any way real ig?? idk #thank you thank you 😭💜 #OCs #chloe's OCs
