5 years of Tumblr! here's to many more years of wearing and encouraging niqab (face veiling and headscarves) for everyone of all genders.
If you haven't worn niqab or veiled yet, take the initiative and put it on today! No excuses, anyone can tie a full veil with a few scarves.
Watch my quick and easy tutorial on how to tie niqab using square scarves (great for both men and women).
Remember - veiling is universal and perfect for everyone! It's the goal to get everyone on earth to wear niqab permanently to make us all equal and smash gender inequality.

what do you find compelling about the idea of yue wearing a hijab?
The origin of Yue wearing a headscarf didn't actually properly originate with me. I read it in a short first chapter of a discontinued fic from almost 2 years ago that has since been deleted, and the author has moved on to the star wars fandom. But the idea stuck with me, and so I created the tag on AO3, and whenever I write her, or commission artists, she is wearing a white headscarf, so the idea in popularity originates from me
Yue's white hair is a spirit blessing. I have tried to do a lot of research to write this as respectfully as possible: a lot of cultures worldwide wear hair coverings as a link to their religion or spirituality, so Yue covering her hair shows a different interpretation of her spirituality, in modern setting or context where she gives back the spirit blessing but stays alive.
Here is where I made a mistake.
In my writing I always make sure to say "headscarf", because "hijab" is a Muslim-specific word, and is not just the hair covering but a way of being spiritual directly linked to Islam. And I mistakenly used the tag "hijabi Yue" before I had fully realised this was not how I should be tagging her.
I am now making efforts to correct this, creating a new AO3 tag "Yue wears a headscarf" that will hopefully be canonised, and I will be editing tumblr posts where possible to change the language and tagging used. It was not my word to use, and although creating content for a minority I am not a part of originated with good intentions, the resulting tag should not have been used, and I apologise for using it. I am not Muslim (nor do I wear a headscarf and I'm not part of a community that does), and I have not been writing Yue as Muslim, so I should not have been using the term hijabi.
I encourage others who create content of Yue wearing a headscarf and are not Muslim, to not tag with the word "hijab", but instead "Yue wears a headscarf".
My intention is always to create content to uplift and celebrate others, and I want to do so as respectfully and thoughtfully as possible
