There is a hierarchy of languages [in Morocco]: written languages are conferred a higher status than spoken languages, which confirms the earlier discussed diglossic relation between Standard Arabic and Darija. However, in Morocco an atmosphere has emerged in which a plea for Darija is by many people considered a plea against Standard Arabic, and consequently against Islam and the Arab nation (Ziamari and de Ruiter, 2016; see also Gago Gómez in this volume).

[...] Darija is the language that most Moroccans speak when they talk to each other but [...] it does not enjoy the status of national language. Darija allegedly lacks any form of status or prestige. Darija is being undervalued and thus Moroccans not only underestimate the importance of their mother tongue, but of themselves too. In education, Darija could play an important role as a language of instruction, but officially this is not allowed.

The creation of Nichane marked an important phase in the emancipation of Darija, since it represented a breach of the old boundaries in which Standard Arabic was exclusively used for written purposes and the use of Darija was limited to the spoken domain. [...]

Another step forward is Darija being used as a language of cultural creativity, and the emergence of a ‘Darija generation’ (term used by Caubet, 2006), predominantly in Casablanca and other big cities in Morocco where artists express themselves in Darija both orally and in [writing]. [...] Foreign soap series are dubbed in Darija (Ziamari and Barontini, 2013) and many programs are now using a language variety that was considered inappropriate before this development started. In publicity and marketing Darija has become a real competitor for Standard Arabic (Ziamari and de Ruiter, 2016). The factual Moroccan linguistic landscape is now characterized by billboards using written Darija [...] (Hoogland, 2013). Ziamari and de Ruiter (2016:458) conclude with the remark that the linguistic changes in Morocco are coming from the bottom up and that these changes are redefining the linguistic borders between what is official and what is not. The linguistic reality in Morocco is moving in a direction of enforcing vernacular language practices.

I'm almost finished reading Reforged and while I'm enjoying it I'm not really feeling it 100%. Love the bodyguard/king dynamic especially bc they're exes who get back together, but idk. It's good and fun but man I kinda just wanna be done with it so I can read The Nichan which pulled me in from the beautiful art alone

#after the nichan i have hunger pangs: true love bites which i've had on my list for a good while

[real-total-drama-takes]

td23 cast are the one of the most shippable cast to date I feel like. Cus I can see the ships going in so many different directions like want lesbians? We have mkulia, nichaxel, MK/Nichelle, Prillie, Scary Girl/Priya, Nichelle/Julia. Want gays? We have rajbow, chase/ripper, damiwayne, rayne, chase/zee, Caleb/bowie. Something for the straights? Priyamien, Scarmien, juliane, nichane, Wayne/emma, chemma (gross, but it’s there). There’s even poly ships!

her me out, everyone is dating everyone

Soooo while I’m obsessed with Nichan (Nicholas x Jian) I gotta think about the future of Rin. So who should Rin’s lucky man be?

Should it be:

Phuwin Tangsakyuen

Dunk Natachai Boonprasert

Or Dew Jirawat Sutivanichsak

(Ofc it is subject to change but whoever wins or is picked maybe her fiancé 👀👀)

holy shit, this is so serious to me right now??? asking an indecisive libra was a mistake /j BUT if i had to make a choice, i'd choose phuwin!!!

Several publications on the difficulties [faced by Moroccan journal Nichane], seizures by the authorities, legal proceedings and the like have appeared both in print and on the Internet. [...] One particular case deserves mention here: the so-called Darija legal process. In his editorial of 4 August 2007, Benchemsi directly addressed King Mohammed VI by asking what the king had precisely meant in a royal speech about the upcoming elections. Benchemsi uses Darija to address the king about the content of that speech, and also paraphrases in Darija a number of fragments from the royal speech, which of course had been delivered in Standard Arabic. After the publication of this editorial, Benchemsi was arrested and held in custody for questioning. Official charges were never brought, nor did a lawsuit ensue. According to Benchemsi, his arrest and questioning became the inaugural act of a national debate: what place to grant the mother tongue of Moroccans in relation to Standard Arabic, one of their official two languages. Nichane suddenly and unexpectedly stopped appearing in 2010, with the last issue, 268, coming out on 1 October 2010. According to Benschemsi in an editorial in TelQuel 442, this was allegedly the result of a financial boycott by big advertisers closely related to the political regime.

Random kid: Mama, mama, it’s Keiwa-niichan!

Mother of kid: It is, isn’t it?

Mother of kid: Want to say hello?

Kid: uhuh!

Kid: Keiwa-niichan! Keiwa-nichan!

Keiwa: *glaring angrily at a woman and a old man*

Keiwa: *reacts to his name being called*

Keiwa: *Eyes widened as the kid was approaching him.*

Keiwa: Don’t you dare

Beroba: On second thought, why not?

Beroba: *fires her laser gun at the kid and the mother.

Keiwa: HENSHIN!

Keiwa: *expels smoke from his body, obscuring the view of his enemies*

Kid: Keiwa-niichan turned into a superhero!

Kid: Are you a superhero niichan?

Keiwa: I am Kiba-kun

Keiwa: Nami-san, those people I was facing earlier kind of want to take me. I need you take Kiba-kun and run away from here.

Mother: What’s going on, Keiwa-kun?

Keiwa: I don’t know myself.

Keiwa: All they really told me is that they want me and my sister.

Mother: should I tell the other mothers not to approach you unless you don’t approach them?

Keiwa: Its better to avoid me for the time being, I have everyone’s numbers to tell everyone it’s safe.

Mother: But what about you.

Keiwa: This armor, I’m wearing will be enough to protect me from them.

Keiwa: Please, run away now, Nami-san.

----

Keiwa: You really didn’t have to get innocents involved.

Beroba: But where’s the fun in that?

----

Rider react and who would respond first, the Geats Riders or the Legend Riders?

Oh hell, if Berobitch's going after kids there would be hell to pay. That's the number one berserk button of all the heroic Riders

And while I'd love to think that the Legend Riders would come to Keiwa's aid, realistically Berobitch would only attack in connection to the DGP (or its iterations) and so, the Geats Riders would be the one responding to her attack. Except for the one who may or may not assist the grandma, depending if it suits his purposes.

got tagged by @cigarettesandinevitablebetrayal been a while since I've done one of those (also so bad at keeping up with/finishing things so the currently reading and watching is... a long progress)

Last Song: Dangerous - Welshly Army

Currently Watching: Trigun (1998) - I'd never watched it back in the day but after becoming obsessed with Trigun Stampede I decided to rectify that

Currently Reading: The Nichan Smile by C. J. Merwild - I really like it but reading is hard so I'll probably be stuck in limbo for the next 50 years

Latest Obsession: I guess Fallen Hero, still (never drawn as much as for this, that's gotta be a sign)

also really don't know who to tag but if you see this and want to do it feel free to pretend I did :D

I love books that make me cry like there is no tomorrow, that not just tug at my heartstrings but tear them out and set them alight.

Bonus points if it had me roaring with laughter just a couple pages beforehand.

The books I own that have achieved just that:

The Darkness Outside Us

The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation

Flight of Magpies

Tell the Wolves I'm Home

Adrian Mayfield

The Ancient Magus' Bride

Descendants of Darkness

And then there are the books that just ripped my heart out, set it on fire, and pissed on the flames:

The Nichan Smile

Silk & Steel

Cry to Heaven

The Faceless Old Woman That Secretly Lives In Your Home

Siúil, A Rún

God Child
