i dont know if you take request s but i really need this one i havent found anyone doing it. i really need headcanons with cullen their mate being turkish (like her english is good but like classical turkish things yk being angry at the smallest things, making fun of everything, being very kind and welcoming but looks so serious all the time and please if you can make her pretty as a valpire). its ok if you dont take requests 💗. and im sorry if i couldnt express myself english is not my first language.

hi! i tried my best and i add other islamic countries because i don't know if you wear hijab or not and i also wanted to give some love to my ladies with hijabs so there are some parts with hijab in every character, i hope you like it because i put a lot of work in it!

Twilight characters dating islamic reader

ft. carlise, emmet, rosalie, edward, jasper, alice, jacob, seth, paul, bella

a/n: guys i'm not from islamic country so i apologize for any mistakes, i don't want to make anyone upset nor angry, it is also not really good because i don't know much about this culture so... i tried my best, hope you like it!

༺☆༻

⤷ Carlise Cullen

-Carlise would love your constant switching emotions. at one time you are calm, kind, welcoming to everyone and a lovely wife and then out of the sudden you trip over your dress and you are now yelling over the whole house, then mumbling something in turkish (your native language) underneath your breath that no cullen understands and Carlise is just smiling while looking at you.

he'd want to know about Turkey (or other islamic country) and what is it like, i belive he visited Turkey (or other islamic countries) but just for two weeks max so... he didn't really explored the culture and he wants to hear you speak about your homeland and family and stories, he just loves it.

he'd love to see you cook your favourite food or some traditional meals or snacks from your childhood because he wants to educate himself about your country, but he cannot eat it which makes him kinda mad, about the educating; he'll also search some Turkish (or other islamic country) words and when he's feeling really flirty, he'll tell you something in turkish to impress you

if you're wearing a hijab, he'd be again very respectful and if anyone did you wrong, he'd have your back and be right next to you glaring and "politely" telling the person to fuck off

⤷ Emmett Cullen

-Emmett would love to tease you just to see you being mad. he will poke your belly a bit or (gently) kick your feet so you trip over and when you are being all angry, again mumbling something in your native language probably something how you gonna kill him and all, he's just there laughing on the ground.

sometimes he would get confused because you look so serious at all the time and sometimes you talk with serious, stone hard face without even realizing it, so if you tell him a joke with dead serious face he'd stand there blank look on his face, yk yk.

you can use it against him, because when you are really mad he's scared of you. and you are the only one he listens to.

he'd love to try and eat every single food you have in Turkey (other islamic country) or snacks or drinks, but because he's a vampire he cannot so you are just telling him what each food is like and what's inside etc.,, he can listen for hours to this

if you're wearing a hijab he'd definitely would use it for another teasing, like gently tugging on it or placing bananas on top of your head yk.

⤷ Rosalie Hale/Cullen

-Rosalie have always found islamic women so pretty. she always thought that they are the most beautiful women on earth, just their energy made her feel some kind of way...

so she is considering herself extremely lucky to date you, like really. she even thinks that you are more beautiful than her, which shows how much she actually love you.

she also has bad temper so when you are mad on the smallest thing, she's mad with you just because

sometimes people say you two are siblings because both of you have your serious face all the time, when people say that both of you are mad, you "yelling" on that person and Rosalie growling under her breath ready to attack this person

but when she sees you looking out of window, calmly breathing with sun rays slightly touching your soft features, she smiles to herself while being glad that she has you

if you're wearing a hijab, she'd want you to teach her how to make it and then she will do it for you. she'd find you even more beautiful because she can just look at your pretty clear face without hair in it and admire you.

⤷ Edward Cullen

-Edward reads a lot so i believe he knows a lot about your homeland and culture but he lied to you and told you that he never heard of it so you have to tell him about it, so he can hear you talk.

he didn't realize how many interesting thoughts he'd hear, i mean at one time he can hear you thinking about that pretty nail polish you've bought and after few minutes he hears some turkish (or other islamic language) words without knowing the meaning and then english words where you say you messed up that nail polish.

he'd probably could speak with you in your native language because he hears so many words (thoughts) in your native language so that he remembers them and know the meaning.

he'd play for you on piano some turkish (or other) songs he has found on the internet just to impress you and it was such a romatic gesture.

he'd be really interested in music at your homeland because it would make him feel more close to you.

⤷ Jasper Hale/Cullen

-Jasper is "old" cowboy so you two just somehow clicked. somehow there was a chemistry that just mixed your vibes and made a perfect couple yk.

he'd sneak into your room at night and listen to stories from your homeland and then he would tell you some stories from time when he was a human.

Jasper can feel your emotions so if you are tired of your bad temper just tell him and he will calm you whenever he feels that you are getting angry.

that's why you two are such a perfect couple, because you help him control his thirst and he helps you to control your emotions, so both of you are focusing on different things that doesn't involve you which means you are even calmer

you two agreed on that you are gonna pull out the "in pain face" card whenever one of you is feeling uncomfortable so

if you're wearing a hijab, Jasper would make sure no one makes you uncomfortable even more because people at Forks are not used to seeing women wearing a hijab and some kids at school can be pretty mean...

⤷ Alice Cullen

-Alice knew that her mate will be from Turkey (or other islamic country) so she had some time to get ready. she read something on the internet and she borrowed some books from Carlise or Esme about islamic countries so she could be prepared

she was very opened and VERY interested in your homeland and your traditions, so she would want to know every single detail! because she didn't wanted to disrespect you, not even the smallest

sometimes she could see when you will become angry, so she either wants to see you angry because she thinks you look cute or she will do anything to prevent it, depends on her mood

you two are the definition of sunshine x grumpy, because Alice is always smiling and kind and loving... you on the other hand are also kind and loving but your face looks like a stone so you kinda scare Alice's bullies away

Alice would be really interested in your traditional dresses just because she likes fashion and she likes to talk about it. so you two will lay in bed, you holding a photo of you in you traditional dress in your hands and she pointing at each suture and decoration

if you're wearing a hijab, she would love to style it for you or put cute stickers on it (if you let her)

⤷ Jacob Black

-Jacob would LOVE it! because when you are angry you cringe your nose in such a cute was, he's not scared at all he finds it funny because there is no way you could beat him.

he would be very protective because sometimes you and Paul argue which can lead Paul to shift so Jacob is here to protect you in that case.

but your welcoming and loving side is his favourite. when you treat him like a puppy, yeah really. when you stroke his cheek while saying "good job, baby" when he fixed his bike, his pupils will go bigger and he will follow you around like a puppy.

he'd eat everything you make, like everything. so when you started making you traditional food and snacks (with Emily's help) he ate it all and then say how much he liked it.

he will crave your both initials into a small piece of wood and gave it to you as a good luck charm, and when you asked him what's his lucky charm he answered with simple "you".

if you're wearing a hijab he will make sure that it's clean because there is a lot of wolf hair around the house.

⤷ Seth Clearwater

-Seth will also love when you are angry but because you look so hot! so he will just stare in awe and then take you to his room and kiss you all over

he will also start stare fights, like who can last longer without blinking but he will always lose and laugh at your serious face.

he can become really protective when someone is disrespecting you, and by that i mean he'll go feral if someone slightly disrespects you he'll tear them apart. he maybe looks cute but he's a real monster in his wolf form, to you he's just a big puppy

he will eat every traditional snack that you can offer, some small candy your grandma made when you couldn't sleep or some salty chip your mother fried when you wanted, he will eat it ALL.

when you cuddle with him, he will put his face into your neck and breath in your scent because that calms him down, knowing that you are here with him, safe

if you're wearing hijab he will make sure no one touches it or no one is making you uncomfortable with questions because if yes, oh lord...

⤷ Paul Lahote

-Paul again finds you anger sexy and cute at the same time so it depends if he's in a heat or not, and if you say you get angry at the smallest things well then you two will do a lot of cardio...

Paul, like every other shape-shifter will eat everything! if it's from you then TWICE of everything! he then uses the energy and calories to his wolf body which makes him even stronger than he already is!

he's also very possessive and protective, like a LOT! especially if it's a guy that's bothering you, he will beat him up like crazy i can tell

if you cup his face into your hands and kiss him "hard" on the lips, he will melt into you. he loves when you surprise him with kisses and affection...

he LOVES when you talk to him in your native language, call him baby in your native language and his full attention will be on you, he will come to you as soon as he hears your voice; put his hands on your waist and just stare into your eyes

if you're wearing a hijab he'll ask a lot of questions about it and then growl at everyone who starts talking about it, even at Sam

⤷ Bella Swan

-Bella would be shy from the start so she will just look at you with blank stare without knowing what to do because you were fine few minutes ago, now you are yelling at some ladybug that scared you.

but she will get used to it and then just giggle at you, she will also learn few turkish (other islamic language) words just to impress you but it will take her a bit more time to really say them to you

she will love to hear you stories while you're playing with her hair, she will lay her head on your lap and just close her eyes, listening to your calming voice telling her some fairy tail that you grandma used to tell you while you're stroking her hair

she will try some candy or sweet snacks from your country and some good meal that's not spicy, because i feel like she's not really a fan of spicy food

she often does some movements with her face like with her lips or eyes or eyebrows and she finds it so fascinating that you can stare at the tv with serious face... wow...

if you're wearing hijab she will look at you while you make it and how you tug your hair perfectly inside, gorgeous.

i feel like this is so bad, i really hope you like it!

-love, sivyera

Hlo again the anon from the tomboy Emma headcanon...sorry to keep disturbing you but would you please write about it but with IkeRev and instead of Clavis being scared of Emma can you switch it to Edgar and Lance being afraid of Alice

Again I won't mind if you won't the art was more than enough. Love overload bye!!

That, I can do for you, anon! Enjoy!❤

IkeRev HCs: Sexy tomboy!Alice

How do they react to a tomboy, bold and more curvaceous Alice?

When Alice first drops into Wonderland into Ray's arms, he almost buckles under her. For one thing, she was taller than he was, and she had fallen so fast, she had almost flattened him. When he got a good look at her, her tall stature, her gorgeous figure, he knew almost immediately Cradle was about to be taken by storm.

When Jonah attempts to capture her with handcuffs, he never fully got the chance to actually get them on her before she slapped them out of his hands and put them on him, shocking the daylights out of both him and Edgar. No one, especially not a woman, had ever shown the Queen of Hearts such defiance, such insolence, with no sign of regret or remorse and they honestly had no clue how to respond at all, even when Oliver came to snatch her away, they could only gape after them.

Oliver learned very quickly a very harsh lesson that day. You cannot, will not speak to Alice however you please. Before he could finish the word "idiot", she had already kicked him in the back of the knee hard enough to make it buckle as she told him off, demanding his respect.

"Who do you think you're talking to? Did your mother never teach you manners!?

Blanc had to save him from getting his other knee ruined by her before he could say much else.

When she was accosted by that guard who heard her "insult" Jonah, he was on the receiving end of the beauty's roundhouse kick, so fiercely it sent the man crashing to the floor before Luka and Seth could actually step in. It was at that moment Seth Hyde had discovered love and the moment Luka Clemence developed a slight fear of women and just...the slightest bit of a kink...just the slightest.

Upon hearing Jonah and Lancelot's threats towards her, she levels an icy glare at them with the most devilish, sly simper as she stares the Queen of Hearts dead in the eye and very boldly proclaims;

"Actually, I think you will enjoy serving under me, Jonah Clemence...or rather, on top of me? If you prefer that.

Dead silence. Nobody knows what to say to that. Not the Black or the Red Army. Especially not Jonah. All he can do is gape, looking somewhat like an owl at the daring temptress.

Alice's reputation was sealed at that moment. And when offered to become a part of the Black army, she was adamant on actually being an actual active member, not an honorary member in name who may be needed from time to time. Nobody was really sure what she meant by that until she suddenly came into headquarters one day wearing the tightest uniform ever seen.

Soldiers were left in shock as Alice strutted down the barracks, her hips swaying in the form fitting black leggings and the heels of her black boots clicking with every step as the voluptuous new recruit absently flicked her honey colored hair out of her face, driving every man there just a little crazy. Sirius nearly had a heart attack upon seeing she was wearing the standard vest...except it was open around her navel and chest, making no effort to hide her sculpted abdomen or her ample cleavage, not to mention that there was clearly nothing underneath the vest either.

Turns out the little lady is not so little.

Ray had considered making her change, as she was distracting the other soldiers, but whenever he was about to bring up the issue, Alice would bat her eyelashes as she leaned closer to him, pressing her large bust against his chest, a knowing smile on her lips.

"What is it, Ray? What about my uniform?"

"Well, it's...uh...you know..."

"No, I don't know, I'm afraid. Care to enlighten me?"

"Uh.."

Ray never gets round to actually doing it.

Luka is often on the receiving end of her hugs, when she is overcome by how sweet he is. She positively buries him in her embrace, unknowingly stuffing him into her breasts.

The majority of the blood in Luka's body is now in his head.

Seth just wants to eat her up. He will always want to dress her up in different designs, often catering to the fact that she is not too inclined to dresses and skirts, always complimenting her figure in whatever provocative attire she chooses.

Fenrir has found a friend for life. He will always invite her to cause some mischief with him, though he can't help but get a little shy when he gets a glimpse of her curves through her uniform.

Upon her first time on the battlefield, nobody was certain what to expect from Alice, as she insisted on being there. The Red army, led by Edgar at that time, most certainly had not taken her seriously, only intending to bring her back to Lancelot.

That changed within seconds when she suddenly produced a whip attached to her thigh and unleashed her strength upon the poor souls. She was quick, agile, precise, deadly even.

Edgar had expected many things but what he didn't see coming was the whip latching around his wrist and tugging him towards the buxom soldier until they were face to face, only an inch apart.

She stared at him dead in the eye, her deep blue eyes piercing into his own fearlessly.

"Now I have a message for your King. If Lancelot wants me, he can come get me himself. I'm wide open for him."

The lewd implication behind her words is not lost on the Jack of Hearts, as an involuntary shiver runs down his spine, whether it was of anxiety or lust, he wasn't sure. Perhaps both.

It was definitely more from lust when she punctuated her words by moving her lips to his ear.

"I'll be waiting."

And slyly nipped his ear before letting him free.

Lancelot had not been prepared for the report Edgar had brought back. Not at all.

Jonah was mostly seething, but had a hint of worry and desire in those amber eyes nobody dared point out.

Lancelot frowned, feeling the unfamiliar sensation of dread as he mulled over the message sent to him by Alice. Indeed...Alice the Second was far more dangerous than any opponent he had ever faced.

She soon becomes the Black Army's greatest weapon. Mostly because the enemy either is afraid of her or lusts for her too much to do her any harm. Either way, the scales of battle had very much tipped in the Black Army's favour indeed.

Gay and bi men of Tumblr I respect you but my discussions of and exhibitions of manliness / masculinity are very much a demonstration of a long, hard earned road to accepting myself for who I am as a black and transgender man living in post 9/11 America, and not a performance or courting ritual for the sake of anyone else. I'm very much just a straight boy stuck in the metal forums of 2009 with the mentality of your average Thrash/Death/Doom Metal loving 11th grader named Seth or Derek, with twice the passion and none of the misogyny or homophobia.

Not to say that these things can't overlap, but, you know. I don't wanna fuck any of you. Man love is cool and powerful and deserves just as much respect and autonomy as my manly love for any women, but women's perky tits and jiggly asses in tight dresses and general feminine mystique are far superior to that of any man's, sorry.

#It's flattering to have guys approaching me on anon and stuff but it's starting to get kinda weird.#You can reblog my selfies or whatever but uh lay off the commentary I'm really not open to that kind of thing and I doubt I ever will be.

May I request buffy for the dashboard osmosis if you haven't seen it? Or if you have then steven universe

i'll do buffy

isabel, i like and respect you. but i hear about buffy a lot on tvtropes (in fact tvtropes started as a buffy fansite??) and almost everything i hear sounds... bad. it sounds like a cringe show. i'm sorry

i haven't seen it at all so thats not fair of me. but. yeah

or maybe the show isn't cringe but the fandom is. or both. hmm

buffy the vampire slayer was a 90s supernatural show made by joss whedon at his peak LOOK IM A FEMINIST fuckery

it stars sarah michelle gellar (who i know primarily as daphne in the live action scooby doo movies, and that bitch from cruel intentions) as buffy summers. and she's The Slayer. slayers are like chosen ones, and its a title thats passed on for i dunno hundreds of years

slayers... slay vampires, i presume

she talks in a specific manner hence the trope Buffy Speak. it's basically like a weird simple talky thingy (that was buffy speak)

one of the characters is willow rosenberg played by allison hannigan. and as a bi activist engrossed with fiction, i have certainly heard of this character. basically, she's the poster child for The 90s Being Weird About Bisexuality. as she was into dudes and then she's into a girl and the show is weird about it and she's Suddenly Lesbian. and like, yes, lesbians discovering themselves after dating dudes is totally a thing but thats not the logic being used here, it's just awkward biphobia. oh yes. i've heard much about willow and tara

tho, willow/tara is a case of Fair For It's Day

seth green played oz, a sardonic werewolf of little words. he was the dude willow was into before her bisexuality activated

david borealis and james marsters are angel and spike, they're two vampires that buffy is super into and i get the vibe that their love triangle is like a Big Thing in this show and/or the fandom. angel is the "good" one, spike is the bad one. i read that buffy and spike raped each other (with the buffy raping spike being played for laughs because life is a fucking nightmare). so that's fucked

angel got his own spin off called angel and one time angel became a muppet in it. i approve

angel is one of those brooding "i can never be good, theres no hope for me" types of vampires. the kinda guy tailored for certain women to be like "ohhh i can fix him" or whatever. it's kinda funny. on the flipside i assume spike is for the "mmm i don't wanna fix him" types

this is before this type of thing was subject to parody

there's some blando guy named xander, i think he's a nerd and meant to be an audience self insert. i've seen ppl say he has nice guy syndrome but i dunno how true that is. dunno who plays him

anthony head plays rupert giles, he's the exposition and mentor dude. makes dry remarks and spouts encouragement, i think

charmed, a show i love, apparently stole buffy's vibes a lot

buffy is the first show where somebody used google as a verb. as in "googled"

theres a musical episode wherein dancer and singer hilton battle Absolutely Fucks. oh and everybody has musical numbers, including one that ends with tara levitating from cunnilingus. this was noteworthy because sapphic characters being sexual was actually rare in mainstream media in the 90s. again, fair for it's day

oh, this is a monster of the week show where some overarching story each season. doug jones made a few appearances

i get the impression that buffy is one of those shows that has good actors and concepts but fucky writing. it happens, i feel you

is buffy a cheerleader or did i imagine that. i might be thinking of heroes (which also suffered from great acting, fucky writing)

anyways thank you for your time

#i've actually absorbed a decent amount of buffy. because i exist in internet fandom circles #this was stream of conconious writing #whenever i remembered something i wrote it down #Please Don't Be Upset With Me Isabel #im sure you love watching it. and indeed probably dunk on it yourself #i am not attacking anybody's right to enjoy buffy

Faction Rankings: Week of July 24, 2023- July 30, 2023

10. Chase U

Thea tried her best, and in her submission match against Tiffany for the NXT Women's Championship, she never tapped out. She did end up losing due to Andre throwing in the towel for her. She seemed upset afterwards, but it remains to be seen whether she was upset because of the loss or upset with Andre for quitting for her (or maybe both).

9. Alpha Academy

Maxxine will have her first singles match this week. Continuing their feud with The Viking Raiders, Maxxine challenged Valhalla to a match, and it was accepted.

8. The Bloodline

Roman was at Smackdown for the second week in a row, and he and Jey had a face-to-face. Later in the night, him and Solo sat ringside during Jey's match against Grayson, and they attacked him afterwards.

Paul's also not carrying around the other two belts anymore. That probably doesn't mean anything, but I wanted to point it out anyway.

7. Imperium

The face-to-face between Gunther and Drew resulted in a match between Drew and Kaiser. Drew ended up getting the win, but when Imperium tried to do a post-match attack, Matt came to help.

6. Meta-Four

So Noam's kind of back to normal...but now he's carrying around a Hertiage Cup that Lash gave him that may or may not be fake. Maybe we can get somebody to test it. Anyway, they had an eight-person tag match at Great American Bash against the other Hertiage Cup Champion Nathan, Dragon, Yulisa and Valentina, which they lost. But hey, at least Noam seems okay now.

5. Diamond Mine

We can pretend all we want but those guys in Schism masks that caused them to lose the six-man tag last week? That's The Creeds. Maybe somebody should tell Ivy.

So, they got some revenge on Schism, and now there's going to be an interrogation of all The Schism members this week where they'll have to take off their masks so they can find out who's the traitor. Ava insists it's not them, but Jagger thinks otherwise. Sorry Ava, I'm on Jagger's side here. It's definitely them.

4. Damage CTRL

Shotzi's still after them, so that's not great. What is great, though, is that Summerslam is coming up, and the Women's Championship Triple Threat could be a good time for Iyo to cash-in. Asuka warned her against it, but I'm not sure that deterred her much, if at all.

3. The Brawling Brutes

So there's a battle royal at Summerslam now, and Sheamus is officially in it. This week, on the Smackdown before Summerslam, Sheamus has a match with the other confirmed battle royal competitor, LA Knight.

2. LWO

Well, Santos is the winner of the United States Championship Invitational and will face Austin for the Championship next week. Unfortunately, the end of the match wasn't really a celebration. Rey appeared to have suffered a concussion during the match, and was deemed unable to compete, making Santos the winner.

1. The Judgement Day

Dominik and Damian both won on Monday, against Sami and Apollo, respectively. The match against Sami was for the North American Championship, which Dominik also successfully defended against Wes and Ali at Great American Bash. Finn and Seth signed their contract for their title match at Summerslam, and afterwards, The Judgement Day attacked Seth and stood tall. Rhea also was scheduled to have a match with Liv, but attacked her before the bell and injured her arm. She also won a match against Lyra in NXT, and afterwards told Lyra to beat Jacy to prove to Rhea that she's right about her. Lyra will get that match this week. If she wins, they may be looking to add another member to The Judgement Day.

@allbravado || Vampire Seth & Ghost Rosie Continued.

The start is here.

He rearranged the CD shelf, it had gotten out of order when he lent a few to his friend, the campus ‘ DJ ‘ ... though he wasn’t very good at it. Ah well, supporting dreams and what not ... that’s what friends did. He paused and laughed at her quip.

A lazy shrug of his broad shoulders was the only indication that he’d formally acknowledged her correct assumption.

“ I always keep ‘em guessing, they never seem to know just what I’m thinking ... “

He shook his head personal joke forgotten for a moment as he finally got them mostly in place.

“ Yeah, well --- I’m testing my Halloween pick-up lines in advance. God knows I’ll have every advantage this year, not to mention it should be easier to shag ... er, uh ... snag a dinner date. “

Freudian slip, oops.

“ I mean, I figure I can take my pick of all the hot Morticias, Femme Freddy Kruegers, and Harley Quinns that my heart desires. Right ??? Also, incoming side rant: Why in the hell are people going in on Harley’s outfit ?? Okay, yeah --- certainly attracts the male gaze, BUT it makes sense. She’s a pro at gymnastics and she’d need the flexibility and mobility for her clothes to have give ... I just don’t get the anger. Oh god ... like, imagine how strong she probably is ?! It’s incredible & Margot Robbie was a fucking angel in the role during the filming of ‘ Suicide Squad ‘. The elevator scene in that movie ... with heels ?! “

He flopped on the bed, eyes on the ceiling, but unfocused as his barrage of rare praise continued:

“ You probably haven’t seen it but holy God is it impressive. I just ... I can’t. And Jared Leto was acting a fool the whole time she was prepping for the role and learning how to do her stunts. The double standard is unfair. Anyway ... “

He smiled ruefully up at Rosie:

“ If you ever tell anyone about that rant ... I’m burning this house down. I would hate for people to get the wrong idea and think there’s more to me than winning looks, a killer personality, and a nice bank account. “

#( ... I'm sorry ... is Seth ... ReSpEcTiNg WoMeN ??? )

Hey Lottie! Long time fan, first time caller.

One of my supervisors often tells an anecdote about Egyptian husbands and wives calling each other brother and sister in papyri as a term of endearment even though they are not related by blood. Is there any truth to this? I’m sorry I don’t have more information about specific papyri or from what time period.

Hello stranger! Long time, no see!

Yes, it is true! Ancient Egyptian, as a whole, has very limited terms for family (mother/father, brother/sister, son/daughter, husband/wife) so we often find them used in contexts that might be confusing to a Western audience who tend to have strict definitions for these words. The Egyptians would refer to someone the same age as them as brother/sister, and those older than them as mother/father. I think I'm right in saying that this is similar to the Korean usage of 오빠/형 (Oppa/Hyung) and 누나/언니 (Unnie/Noona), which directly translated into English mean 'older brother' and 'older sister' respectively. 오빠 and 누나 are for women speaking to older men/women, and 형/언니 are used for men speaking to older women/men. However, in Korean these terms, like in Egyptian, are not just reserved for blood relations, though there's a wealth of rules of when it's polite or correct to use these terms and in certain contexts use entirely different words.

In P.Chester Beatty I, there are a number of love songs preserved (as well as the sole surviving copy of the Contendings of Horus and Seth), one of which is a husband and wife speaking of their love for one another. Both refer to the other as either brother or sister:

Sister without rival, most beautiful of all, she looks like the star-goddess, rising at the start of the good New Year. Perfect and bright, shining skin, seductive in her eyes when she glances, sweet in her lips when she speaks, and never a word too many. Slender neck, shining body, her hair is true lapis, her arm gathers gold, her fingers are like lotus flowers, ample behind, tight waist, her thighs extend her beauty, shapely in stride when she steps on the earth. She has stolen my heart with her embrace, She has made the neck of every man turn round at the sight of her. Whoever embraces her is happy, he is like the head of lovers, and she is seen going outside like That Goddess, the One Goddess.

My brother overwhelms my heart with his words, he has made sickness seize hold of me. Now he is near the house of my mother, and I cannot even tell that he has been. It is good of my mother to order me like this, 'Give it up out of your sights'; see how my heart is torn by the memory of him, love of him has stolen me. Look what a senseless man he is - but I am just like him. He does not realise how I wish to embrace him, or he would write to my mother. Brother, yes! I am destined to be yours, by the Gold Goddess of women. Come to me, let your beauty be seen, let father and mother be glad. Call all my people together in one place, let them shout out for you, brother.

There are several other stanzas (you can find those here) which detail the same things as these, but it's very clear that even in Love Poetry, it's common for the Egyptians to use familial terms to show the depth of a relationship.

Dark skinned people are tired of seeing themselves be erased in media. Explicitly, canonically mentioned dark characters are swapped for light skinned ones. Off the top of my head I can think of at least 3 instances at the current moment. 2 of them are from Shadow and Bone Netflix while 1 is from the BBC adaptation of Vikram Seth's A Suitable Boy- the latter was practically revolving around the prejudices against young women of postcolonial India, INCLUDING skin complexion. Lata, the protagonist is constantly criticized for being too dark, from light jibes to downright insults about how her children will be affected. She is compared unfavorably to her "sweet, beautiful, fair complexioned sister" Savita. And then we got the much hyped BBC adaptation, and Lata looks like this:

Uh sorry but this is not dark skinned. Yet this is the version of Lata the world will know. Simply because directors won't make a simple fucking effort.

Never in any of my posts have I said anything disparaging about Sujaya Dasgupta and Kit Young as actors or as "unattractive" people. At most I said they don't look anything like their book counterparts which many people interpreted as an insult. Well it's not. Get some comprehension abilities. Here is how Jesper is described in the book

And Zoya's skin colour is never specified but she is said to be half Suli in King of Scars. Now I know y'all will immediately jump to the conclusion that OMG JES AND ZOYA ARE BIRACIAL THEY CAN BE PALE SKINNED but literally, LITERALLY biracial people can be dark skinned too and the fact that your thinking automatically goes to pale skin by default shows a lot about how the dark skinned (biracial or otherwise) people are sidelined and treated even at the cost of their identities.

Y'all remember Hunger Games?? Katniss, Gale, Haymitch and Rue, who looked like typical inhabitants of their respective districts with OLIVE SKIN OR BROWN SKIN were all played by white actors/ light skinned woc and even Finnick Odair who was "bronze skinned" was played by uh....Sam Claflin. There was some outcry then everybody forgot. Just as everybody will forget that Lata was dark and Jesper and probably Zoya too, if we judge by the official Kevin Wada fanart.

(yes I know she was a retcon. Yes I know Kaya Scodelario, Katie McGrath and Zhenya Katava are the preferred face claims for her)

Does this mean that light skinned POC should never be cast??? NO! But they shouldn't substitute characters explicitly called dark? Because it absolutely nullifies the point of representation. I love the casting of Alina and Nadia. Jessie is a very light skinned part Taiwanese lady who TF cares she is playing ALINA STARKOV, the main lady AND her role isn't robbing a dark skinned actress of a deserved part. Unlike say, Jlaw in THG.

And listen, I'm probably being repetitive but colorism isn't a joke and brushing it away with an insensitive callous remark like "well opinions can differ, I like them anyway" and other such ridiculous statements spoken from a place of complete ignorance can be annoying and condescending. I've had at least 5 people corner me about "being hateful" about the Netflix show. Oh I'm sorry, if I, a dark WOC should be hurt and upset. And oh yeah Sujaya is a Bengali woman like me so no, I don't need to "check myself" while talking about WOC. Enough with this fucking pearl clutching. My main problem isn't with her hair or her eyes (I would have loved to, y'know, see an actual east European actor with wild curly hair or a lady with zoya's famous blue eyes but how many WOC have blue eyes? It's unrealistic for casting anyway) it's that as a Bengali myself I can see she's not nearly as dark skinned as to belong to the same ethnic strain as Inej Ghafa and it reeks suspiciously of the whole All Asians Can Be Divided into Broad Categories Trope.

Microaggressions are real. Colorism is real.

And not everything is a personal attack to you or your fave. If you can't support people who are affected by these, at least, at the very very least, don't tone police us.

#colorism #tw colorism #shadow and bone netflix #grishaverse #zoya nazyalensky #jesper fahey #a suitable boy #lata mehra #idk what to say tired of this discourse but yeah

A/N - Alright, I couldn’t end it there. It deserved a happy ending.

Please, stay safe everyone and be careful who you date.

It’s been a week. You took this time off to think things through, and do a well-deserved self-care for yourself. It was now time to go back and face the music. You know Roman’s probably going crazy with those few texts you’ve sent him, but he has respected your desire for space and alone time. He hasn’t messaged you since, even when your friends have told you he was close to breaking that promise.

You sighed to yourself as you rested your forehead against the steering wheel of your 2018 Dodge Charger. Were you really about to do this? You’ve had the entire week to decide, but it still feels like only a day has passed. The memory of that day still nags at the back of your mind, but you ignored it.

A knock to the window startled you. Looking over, you saw Seth, who looked concerned. You smiled at him, and got out of the car.

“Hey, Seth. How’re you?” you asked him.

“You want the truth, or the possibly 100 not-even-half-convincing lies I’ve practiced a dozen times in my head?” he joked, before shaking his head. “It’s been….different without you around. It’s like everything’s just gone downhill. We’ve all missed you, (Y/N).”

“Yeah, I’ve missed you all too. Including you, gamer geek,” you smirked, playfully punching his shoulder.

In retaliation, he grabbed you and hauled you over his shoulder. Since you were literally no match for his strength, you had no choice but to be carried by the Architect as he entered the arena. You could hear the greetings of the other superstars, and all of them seemed happy to see you back.

“Uhm, Seth? Could you pretty please drop me off at Roman’s locker? I'm…I’m ready to talk to him…” you asked him.

You could feel Seth’s muscles tense beneath you, and you hoped he would do as you asked.

“You sure about this, (Y/N)? We all know how much he loves you, but he also hurt you. You don’t have to talk to him,” Seth set you down in front of him, looking into your eyes. You nodded, sure of what you’re going to do.

Seth sighed and led you to your destination. He hugged you and wished you the best of luck, walking away to give you alone time with the Samoan wrestler on the other side of this door. You faced said door, taking a deep breath before raising a shakey fist and knocking. You waited with bated breath as there’s rustling on the other side of the door. There was a ‘thud’ against the door before it opened.

What appeared before you shocked you to no end. It was Roman, but it looked like he barely took care of himself. His eyes were bloodshot and puffy, his cheeks are reddened, scruff had grown to a beard, not to mention that it looked like he hasn’t slept well for weeks.

“R-Roman…you don’t look so good…” you gasped, pushing past him and to the in suite bathroom, looking for a handtowel to dampen with cold water. And you haven’t really noticed your Raw Women’s Championship Belt sitting next to his bag. You heard footsteps behind you and you glanced up to look in the mirror. Roman stood there with a disbelieving look on his face.

“What? Just because we had a little…..falling out, doesn’t mean I stopped caring. You better park that ass on this counter, mister. You know I can’t stand seeing you looking like you haven’t taken care of yourself.”

“I know,” Roman answered, voice a little rumbly, doing as told. He still stared at you in amazement though. “I just…I just can’t believe, after what I’ve done…You’re still willing to talk to me.”

“Yeah, I’ve done a lot of thinking. Can not tell you how many times I’ve played that voicemail over and over again while I’ve thought about us. Look, Ro, it’s not going to be an easy path from this point onward. I’m willing to forgive, but I damn sure know it’s going to be a long time before I can forget what you’ve said,” you stated, while rubbing his face as clean as you could with the rag, re-dampening it every so often.

“Can’t blame you. But I truly am sorry. I can’t stop thinking about the way you ran. I couldn’t stop being so angry at myself for hurting the one person I love the most - more than my career.”

You sighed. You knew that part. He has told you so many times that he was willing to quit his job if it meant he’d have you for one day.

“Ro,” you breathed in, and sighed softly. “I’m willing to give us another shot. Just, please….don’t do it again, okay?”

You tossed the rag off to the side, surprised it landed on the counter.

“You mean you'll…” he trailed off, hope in his eyes. You smiled and gave him a soft peck on his lips, his beard tickling your skin. But as you pulled away, Roman chased your lips with his, not wanting to miss the moment of being able to taste your strawberry watermelon chapstick once again.

“Although,” you mumbled against his lips, “I’m pretty sure you mentioned something about a proposal?”

Roman’s laughter echoed out into his locker room as he picked you up and swung you around, being mindful of the counter. “Don’t worry, Baby Girl, you’re going to get the best ring ever.”
