(Personally) Connecting Comic Books & Ibn Katheer

I've been thinking, "Why are comic books and media so compelling?"

I believe that it's because they've had popularity and longevity, two features needed for stories to solidify into concrete lore. And humans need concrete, reliable stories - mythologies, prophecies, parables. We are natural storytellers, but it's more than that. We need to tell stories in community. We need to collectively build lore, tweak it as it goes to parallel our experiences collectively, and share how meaningful a story is to our individual and collective living.

Comic books fill a gap, they are necessary mythology for the human living in late-stage capitalism. Consider that they are

Accessible & easy to understand

Relatable and mirrors the universal struggles of the human experience

Familiar and comforting

Superman always saves the day, a god tried by mere human emotions of longing & belonging, the representative of man's resilience and goodness.

Batman is tortured, driven by grief to change an event long gone, or at least the consequences. A true Byronic hero for the modern day male heterosexual.

Magneto and Professor X represents Western Psychology's representation of the duality of man; the idealised figure strategically working for peaceful coexistence vs the exhaustive rebel demanding by any means necessary

Scarlet Witch embodies female rage at its finest; lightly oriental and exotic, very fucking sexy while being exceedingly traumatized.

Ghost Rider is inescapable guilt and vengeance denied.

And I would even argue that Deadpool as an antihero is the trickster archetype through modern day lenses.

New characters are routinely introduced into comic cannon, but they rarely become beloved staples. The characters that succeed tend to be a foil for the legacy characters, often times in the form of a protégé character. How many batkids does the average person know? If you're lucky, they know 3 individual Robins and their names. However, everyone knows the archetype of the sidekick Robin. Few people know other sidekicks like Batgirl or Signal.

From left to right, Jason Todd (Red Hood), Dick Grayson (Nightwing), Tim Drake (Red Robin), and Damian Wayne (the present Robin)

But that's a wide example, let's narrow it down a little. Courtesy the popularity of the Spiderverse movies, we know Miles Morales. In the first Spiderverse movie, his character arc is so well executed that we all agree that he IS a Spiderman. But what makes Spiderman a Spiderman?

High intelligence. In some comic runs, Peter Parker works as a scientist in Osbourne labs, and that's where he gets bitten. Varyingly, he has worked with Stark Industries, or with Reed Richards (canonically the smartest man in the Marvel Universe). Early in the movie, we see Miles deliberately fail his tests as a way to flunk out of school and his teacher reprimanding him on his antics.

Awkward and nerdy. He's a fucking nerd, okay? Spiderman might be for the streets of Queens, but Peter Parker is for playing videogames and tinkering in the labs. The fact that he is unbelievably nerdy and socially awkward is what makes it so unbelievable to those around him that he's Spiderman, despite all the obvious evidence.He's often bullied in school or at work. We see the same trait of annoying verbal diarrhoea that Peter is known for become humourous when he is Spiderman. Nothing changes, except that Peter is more confident as Spiderman, than he is Peter Parker. Miles is even more awkward than Peter (Remember the tragic "Heyyy" scene with Gwen? We all know a guy who sorely overestimates his rizz)

Humour. As Peter Parker, his humour is for the audience. He is the butt of the joke, and the jokes are the socially awkward situations he finds himself in. But as Spiderman, he is the jokester and we're all in his court. Some versions or writers lean into one of these than the other. Compare Andrew Garfield's more confident clown persona to Tobey Maguire's shy, butt of the joke Peter Parker. I think Miles is good mix of these two.

Personal Growth. This is what it all comes down to. A Spiderman must make a personal journey driven by grief, anger and revenge, but ultimately choosing to act in alignment with their values, and hoping that the action honours the memory of their loved ones. This, interestingly is what sets apart Miguel O'Hara (Spiderman 2099) apart from his colleagues. He is unable to make the complete character arc of a Spiderman, just like Miles struggled to in the first Spiderverse movie.

Miles is a Spiderman, and a popular one. But to be both beloved and popular, a protégé character must not only follow a recognisable character archetype or hero formula, they must go one step ahead - fill a cultural gap that the legacy character can't manage regardless of how many times the storyline is retconned.

Miles represents the desire for many media consumers to see themselves reflected more accurately on the big screen, and how diverse backgrounds shape their anxieties, questions and dreams for the future.

It follows logic that many protégé characters that were rolled out in the 2000s were diverse characters. This is capitalism baby, create a problem and applaud yourself for selling us the solution.

I have thought about comic books in many moving parts for years now, but currently, it's how much people need stories to cultivate faith. I was thinking of Omar Suleiman's series explaining Ibn Katheer's voluminous history book - Al Bidaayah wan Nihaayah (The Begining and The End), and why it was and still is, so foundational to me.

For the first time in my personal history, I could see my place in the universe. Where I, against the backdrop of a universe long in existence before me, and after I'm gone, fits. As a child, it was drilled into my head that we are here to worship Allah. But where do my own dreams fit into that? And everything that I was, am, and will be - does God care about that? Watching the series helped me understand that there is a bigger picture and I am an intentional part of it.

Someone once remarked that there is a thin line between religious accounts and mythologies. I believe that the utility for humans are the same. We use stories as a compass and guide, and storytelling is a dying art form, very few people are allowed the opportunities and resources to learn that skill.

Most stories never change, but people do and they grow into the wisdom the story offers, year in, year out. At the end of the day, stories give life to faith.

PS: For whatever reason, I thought Ibn Al Qayyim wrote Al Bidaayah wan Nihaayah, unsure if it plain old brain fog from chronic illness or just me getting it wrong, and I'm so thankful for the friend that called it out. It's been edited to reflect Ibn Katheer, who did indeed write the book. Ofc it's Ibn Katheer, he's the history buff 😅❤️

Title: Winds in the Blue Sail

Summary: After the war ends, Dimitri finds it hard to learn to celebrate.

On the 30th day of the Verdant Rain Moon in the year 1186, the war had ended. However, the war had ended not in the pomp and circumstance that most had expected, but in the quiet of a nearly empty throne room.

A last-ditch effort, a broken oath on a dagger, the legendary lance Areadbhar bloodied. Hardly any words had left the victor’s lips. Even so, there were words that Dimitri would remember at that moment.

“There’s nothing left for you here.”

This rang true even as they were unspoken, whispered almost upon the arrival of the booming crowds below them that greeted him on the liberated streets of Enbarr. Liberated it seemed, from the Adrestian Empire’s lust for total control of the Fódlan continent.

But Byleth had said nothing beside him. His former professor had given him a mere look that made him understand those unspoken words, made him treasure them like he would the lives of those he had already lost.

E.M-Project Partners(CHP.2)

summary: after you manage to pull Eddie away from his D&D game, you begin to work on your twos project, or try to at least

pairing: Eddie Munson x female!reader

wc: 771

warnings: none!

A/N: thank you guys for all the love on the first chapter! I'll plan to make a series out of this but it might be a four-part series. anyway, thanks and enjoy chapter 2!

Chapter 1 Chapter 3

After walking to Eddies van, you both decided to begin the project at Eddie's trailer. You looked out the window with Black Sabbeth blaring on his radio all the way to his trailer, catching Eddie head banging every other verse causing you to bust out laughing.

"Is this what Eddie Munson does every time he gets in his van, head banging to every song that plays?"You said, a big smile plastered across your face from laughing so much. "What else am I supposed to do when I blast my music? Sit and listen to it?"He said, chuckling at the sight of you laughing. "Yes, like a normal person would do!" You say, turning the music down slightly as you both pulled into the trailer park. "Well sweetheart, Yours truly is not normal." He said, as he got out of his van and opened your door, offering you a hand to help you out. "Hence, Eddie "The Freak" Munson being my call sign,"

Should be "The Gentleman" instead of "The Freak" You thought to yourself. You watched Eddie intensely as he lead you to the trailer and showed you around, but you weren't really paying attention. You were still wrapped around the fact that he called you sweetheart. Such a simple nickname, if that's what you would want to call it. You'd been called it before by other men but never had it had this much effect on you. Jesus Y/N, he's your project partner! Get a grip! "So um, all the mugs and hats are yours?" You asked, fidgeting with the silver chain you had around your neck. "The mugs, yes. The hats are my uncles, He works nights, so he won't be back until we would leave for school tomorrow" He said, setting his shoes up against the wall right next to yours.

You both walked to his room where you saw things scattered all across the room; a blanket thrown across the bed, clothes on a chair and the floor, a guitar on the wall, posters and art pieces scattered everywhere, and a pile of magazines. You picked up the one that said Heavy Metal and flipped it around to him. "Nice magazines Munson, "You said stifling a laugh as he turned around in horror and snatched it out of your hands. "Light reading for when I'm bored. I thought we were here to work, not snoop in my stuff" He said, kicking the magazines under his dresser.

You reached into the bag you had slung over your shoulder and opened a book up for Eddie to read since you had, causing him to groan and slide his hands up and down his face. "You do know I despise reading?"He said, leaning on his side in bed to look at you. "Yes, but I know you need this class credit to graduate. Pick your poison, dungeon master." You say, pointing to the beginning paragraph. You watch as his eyes begin to look everywhere, except for the book. "Eddie, please read!" You whine, convincing him enough to pry his eyes away from you. "Yes princess, your wish is my command," He says, making that infamous Munson smirk reappear back on his face as he turns to the book.

You watched his ring-clad fingers turn the pages, and as he sucked his bottom lip in between his teeth, trying his hardest to take in the information for the project. Your face was a shade of strawberry red that hadn't gone away since he called you princess. Sweetheart was one thing, other guys always called you sweetheart. Princess, however, was a whole new ballpark. As far as you knew, he'd never called anyone that name before. You always heard Jason say it to Chrissy whenever you would catch them out and about. It's probably nothing, it's Eddie being Eddie. You have nothing to worry about just stop thinking about it.

"You see something you like Y/N?"Eddie said, snapping you out of your trance. "What?"You asked, your face turning even redder than it was already. "Your staring, I can pose if you want," He said, flipping onto his side and placing his hand on his hip. "I- I was not, read the text"You mumbled slapping him on the shoulder causing him to laugh and turn back to the book. You tried to get yourself to calm down but just couldn't. As hard as you tried, You just couldn't peel your eyes from Eddie, sill chuckling at your embarrassment as he turned the next page.

Maybe worry a little bit...
