Book Rec of Djinn . . .Jinn. .. Jinni. . .

Rated on how likely the jinn would be my friend

The Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah- Qadir is the jinn with the largest role and I cannot decide if he would find me mildly amusing or mildly annoying. Either way, he would probably not be talkative and not view me as a threat or a priority.

5/10

The Daevabad Trilogy by SA Chakraborty- While the term djinn is a controversial one in this world, there are plenty of djinn to choose from. Nahri might be my friend, if she didn't see me as an easy mark (which is very likely). I would very much enjoy her company if she didn't have her defenses up. Ali would probably find me interesting as a human and ask me a mixture of interesting and boring questions. Both would care if I died, unlike Dara, who wouldn't care if he accidentally caused my death.

6/10

A Master of Djinn by P Djeli Clark- I don't want to cause any spoilers but our main djinn would absolutely find me adorable, if not easily manipulated. We could definitely have a few fun nights for sure.

7/10

This Woven Kingdom by Tahereh Mafi- Alizah would 1000% defend me with her life and successfully save it, but I am uncertain how receptive she would be to friendship, considering how guarded she is. I, however, would absolutely put in the effort for her.

7.5/10

An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir- If I remember book two correctly, I would absolutely never become friends with this jinn. And I think they would actively want to kill me.

0/10

The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker - Ahmed would not be friends with me and be very very rude to me, although he would not kill me. I would rather be friends with Chava, the golem instead. We would be besties.

1/10

Nayra and the Djinn by Iasmin Omar Ata-

Majan is a delight and I think we are likely to get along fairly well, although certainly not to the extent Nayra and Marjan have bonded. But we could tell each other stories and reignite some of the spark in each other's lives, encouraging exploration and connection. A fun and emotional time!!

8/10

Something that I’m passionate about is public libraries because of all the support and resources that they provide to their local communities. I know I’ve probably spoken on here before about how important it is to get a library card and use it because of all the perks it can give you (such as free access to online books, movies, and such). For those who are lower class it can provide them with programs, free wifi, free computer use, etc… Public libraries are just so overwhelmingly good for everyone.

In terms of the Global strike, I would like to suggest that people go to their libraries and recommend different Palestinian books. I’m not sure if it differs per state/per library on how you recommend a book, but I know if you use the Libby app through your library card that you can recommend books by tagging them “Notify me”. I know my library system is quite different as it branches out statewide and so I have access to statewide books. I would suggest filling out the forms that come up to recommend a book or talking to a librarian over the phone if you notice they are missing a Palestinian book that you would like to read.

Here is a list of Palestinian nonfiction books that I’ve found:

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappe

On Palestine by Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappe

Except for Palestine by Marc Lamont Hill and Mitchell Plitnick

This Arab is Queer by Elias Jahshan

Blood Orange by Yaffa AS

Freedom is a Constant Struggle by Angela Y Davis

The Hundreds Years’ War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi

Here is a list of Palestinian fiction books that I’ve found:

Where Black Stars Rise by Nadia Shammas and Marie Enger

Nayra and the Djinn by Iasmin Omar Ata

You Exist Too Much by Zaina Arafat

Salt Houses by Hala Alyan

Squire by Nadia Shammas and Sara Alfageeh

Against the Loveless World by Susan Abulhawa

Trees for the Absentees by Ahlam Bsharat

Something More by Jackie Khalilieh

Muneera and the Moon by Sonia Sulaiman

I haven’t been reading a lot lately because of my health, but a lot of these came recommended from people I trust to give good recommendations. Feel free to add recommendations in the comments and please contact your local libraries about acquiring the books you see here that they don’t have!

If we do them by tiers...

S - Eitaro Toyoda, Shiro Maekawa, and Kiyoko Yoshimura (writer of X & Unleashed): Wrote my favorite era of the franchise! Best stories & characterizations imo.

A - Tyson Hesse: just based off his Tailstube writing sometimes, he understands the characters & i'd love to see his take on everything!

As well as Daniel Barnes, writer of Scrapnik Land (really good story), and Iasmin Omar Ata (writer of Winter Jam)

B - Ian Flynn: He's decent Imo, I loved his archie run and he's the reason I GOT to like archie, but his idw/game run is just ok. He has ideas, but the execution is hit or miss.

C - Evan Stanley: Same as Ian but to a lesser degree, but also the fact that in her writing runs, characters seem to have flaws that contradict their actual personalities (ex: Sonic straining an ankle when he's known to fall from space multiple times unharmed). Sometimes it feels like her & Ian's writing is a little limited creatively as told in this post I liked.

D - Pontac & Graff - Who would've thought? I actually don't hate them as much as I thought! I'll admit, when writing light-hearted stories they excel, but when it comes to serious situation that lightheartedness BLEEDS into the serious stuff and it all falls flat. Their jokes are 90% miss and 10% hit. I admit to having laughed at some point. But, they caused a lot of character misconceptions & plotholes that the creative team has to fix now (when really they could've just made a soft reboot.)

And finally... Ken penders. Should be obvious why.

2. Yes! It would be, and that could make for an interesting plot! I'm not against the idea of Sonic representing freedom, but he also represents being selfishly free. He would always be there to stop Surge & she'd think he's a hypocrite for it, it'd make it hard for her to see things from Sonic's perspective, and Sonic wouldn't be able to just get through to her with just fists. It could make for an interesting plot to explore Surge's background BEYOND her & Kit's past with Starline. It could be the turning wheel to help Sonic adjust his approach, too.

@fazar234 I dunno why Tumblr doesn't let me normally answer your questions

(May 20th - May 26th)

Y'all I'm heading straight into a four day weekend and I'm pretty sure most of it is going to be spent in my bed. I start my second job in maybe another week, so I really want to go into it with as much energy as possible. It's also been pretty lovely here the past couple of days. Sunny and cool, perfect for the slight bit of gardening I've been helping with around the house. I'm always sad to see the spring flowers go, daffodils being my favorite and all, but it's nice to start putting in the work for summer.

Books Read:

Nayra and the Djinn by Iasmin Omar Ata (3/5)

Strange Grace by Tessa Gratton (3.5/5)

The Owls Have Come to Take Us Away by Roland L. Smith (1.5/5)

Books Currently Reading:

The Coyote Road: Trickster Tales edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling (16% done)

The Dreamway by Lisa Papademetriou (41% done)

The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter (9% done)

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo (41% done)

Books to Read Next:

Burning Down the Haus: Punk Rock, Revolution, and the Fall of the Berlin Wall by Tim Mohr

Spindle's End by Robin McKinley

DNFs:

The Wolf Gift by Anne Rice - Honestly, I don't think I could take the book seriously after Anne Rice compared a man turning into a werewolf to getting a boner. I was too busy snickering to even process what I was reading. I think I want to stop mainly because I think that's one of the only things I want to remember about this book. That the main character, Reuben the Wolf Man, is the most basic, has-all-the-charisma-of-a-paper-bag lead and Anne Rice made a metaphor I don't think I'll ever forget.

Epilepticon Day 3

While it can be hard to find good representation, that doesn’t mean it’s not out there. Tell us about your favorite epilepsy rep, either in original works or fanfiction, or if you’ve never found any, tell us about a character you like to headcanon as having epilepsy or who you relate to because of your epilepsy, even if they’re not epileptic.

I have to admit i rarely seek out media with explicit epilepsy representation. A lot of times this is, because it makes me uncomfortable to read/see people having seizures in fiction, because it just hits too close to home and I get into a very weird headspace, ruminating on my past seizures and what happened all around that time. Those years specifically weren't great in many ways for me, so I try not to dwell on them. It is something I am kind of slowly testing the waters with and having found and being sent various fanfics with good representation has been incredibly pleasant and lovely. I have not found this in published work yet, except for MIS(H)ADRA by IASMIN OMAR ATA. To this day I would do a lot to get my hands on a physical copy and I will make sure to get one once I finally have a part-time position secured.

It's been a long time since I've read it, but it drew me in and it was the first time I had actually found representation in any media. Let alone a comic that talks about epilepsy. I am absolutely headcanoning Fitzroy Maplecourt from TAZ Graduation as epileptic though. I know this might be a bit simple?, but I think the "wild magic" trait in DnD has a very nice flavour to it where it does usually not "go away" like that and even though the random outbursts of magic in the game are linked to the magic superpowers, I think the impact and repercussions of the way the mechanic works, is severe enough to feel properly disruptive.

Especially when you play with a more drastic scale wild-magic table in DnD that is truly life-threatening to your character (or others) at times, it recreates a true sense of risk and caution, that is very familiar.

With Fitzroy: Having a character that had his dreams sort of "ripped from him by uncontrolled magic" feels like a classic (?) epilepsy narrative. I'm... not a huge fan of how the "magic situation" got resolved in canon (would have liked more ... time? slightly different spin on it), but also I am just picturing Festo as Fitzroy's neurologist/pharmacist so.. uh yay for ... medication.. (though unconventional and definitely not implied by canon this way, this is just me justifying the HC). Fitzroy is not: "Oh magic powers neat! I just gotta get that wild stuff under controll uwu!!!" he is more like "i hate my magic (epilepsy) and I hate that i have to deal with it - i want it to be gone" and he can't make it go away, but he can learn to understand and accept himself, his boundaries and that he is worth so much no matter what. Especially with Fitzroy's magic outbursts being very constant and all the time in the beginning of the story and then later being less often / more controlled, it feels like a journey of slowly getting your meds and having less seizures. :'D That's maybe the briefest way i can put it.

Disability Pride Month must be smiling at me this year because I finally discovered the kind of epilepsy representation I’ve always been looking for: epileptics in comics and graphic novels created by people with seizures and/or epilepsy.

Anyway, please read Mis(h)adra by Iasmin Omar Ata if you get the chance. The story follows Isaac, an Arab-American in college, as he manages his epilepsy and deals with a lot of related issues such as drinking at parties, repeatedly missing class because of seizures, not having a support system, and trying to get medication refills when you can’t technically prove to your doctor that you have epilepsy.

The book is also just visually stunning and I’ve truly never seen better visual representation for epilepsy. I especially loved the running theme of representing the ongoing threat of auras and seizures as knives constantly hanging around Isaac.

[Image ID: A 3 panel excerpt from Mis(h)arda:

Panel 1: Isaac, a man who is the main figure in all three panels, is sitting at a classroom desk, staring distantly while three knives with eyes circle around him. Three speech bubbles, one for the off-screen teacher and the other two for two off-screen students, are behind him, the teacher’s speech is heavily obscured by the knives. Teacher says, “You all have the study guide already so if you stick to that you’ll be (...) But just so you (...) there will be multiple choice (...) questions.” First student says, “They say he has a drug problem or something and almost failed out.” Second student says, “No way!”

Panel 2: Isaac has an annoyed look on his face and tries to wave away the knives. Teacher and First student are still off-screen, their speech bubbles appear behind Issac with Teacher’s bubble still partially obscured. Teacher says, “There will be a decent amount of questions about the chapter on gender politics in the countries of the (...) so make sure you don’t skip (...) one.” First student says, “Yeah, he might be the only one in our class to not walk at graduation.”

Panel 3: Close-up view of Isaac as he watches the knives disappear. He is visibly sweating and appears frustrated. Second student says (off-screen), “Makes sense. I mean, look at him. He always looks like he’s on something.”

/End ID]

As a general warning, there is a pretty big TW for eye trauma. Isaac also experiences a lot of ableism and racism from the medical community, which can be triggering.
