yo can we actually talk about harrow's blood face paint and veil at the beginning of htn for a sec. i know a lot of people poke fun at it but for me as someone who grew up in a veiling religion with the constant threat of that veil being taken away it's like... not being able to wear that veil IN FRONT OF PEOPLE? that's like being naked before god. it is terrifying and traumatic to not be able to wear a veil or other religious garments. at the end of the day it's not even about god specifically, like i could meet god and even if he said to take off the veil i wouldn't, because it's for me. it's for her before it's for god. i felt for harrow so hard at that part of the book and i get that she's just a scrungle but i would love if we could portray occasionally the nauseating forced vulnerability and sense of injustice you would feel at your religion being stripped from you.

#it is really the worst feeling in the world #religion isnt actually about god it's about the internal understanding of self/morals being externalized etc etc #the locked tomb #tlt #htn #harrow the ninth #htn spoilers #harrow the ninth spoilers #i dont know how catholics feel about it but considering she's a nun she might be more similar to muslims in this sense but #for us (i converted later but i was raised muslim) literally being seen without hijab ESPECIALLY by men is like being naked #AND ESPECIALLY before god you wouldnt want to de veil #lessons of the hand and the mouth

So, not even a week after resuming my veiling practice, I experienced discrimination. I don’t wish to recount the experience to save my emotional energy, but I do want to go into why I’m glad I had this experience, and how it encourages me to continue.

Firstly, I want to acknowledge the fact that my preferred approach to veiling does in fact make me resemble Muslim women. And because of this, I want to give a heartfelt thank you to Muslim women worldwide for setting the standard for others who find empowerment and comfort in modesty. As a white person, I have been aware of and sympathetic to the plight of Muslim women worldwide, but it’s different when it happens to you. It cements it. My heart aches for your strife and is full by your courage. This is one reason I’m glad for this experience. It strengthens my resolve and compassion. Thank you.

Another reason I’m glad for the experience, is because it reiterates why I want to veil in the first place. I live in Midwestern America. Our bodily autonomy is quickly being stolen from us. Our bodies are hyper-sexualized and spoken about as if all I’m good for is having babies that the government can raise as cattle for the capitalist machine. It’s a physical symbol of rejecting that. I get to decide how I look to others. I get to decide who gets access to my body, not just in a sexual manner but as a whole. For me, it’s a radical act of feminism. It feels as though the fibers in my headscarves and coverings are woven together in a greater tapestry of women worldwide. I can feel it with Muslim women, whom I do not share a religion with, but share something more important: kinship, and sisterhood. My threads are woven with the Muslim women in France who are fighting legislation for their right to be modest (that is batshit insane) and also with those victimized by western imperialism (which gave birth to the Taliban). The tapestry is worldwide, including Jewish women and their tichels, other pagans with their bandanas and beanies, even traditional Christian women who wear lace coverings. But modesty and autonomy reach beyond the gender divide so I have home in those who are also men, nonbinary, gender-fluid, two-spirit, and many others. It is community. It filters out many people who show their true intentions and beliefs, and makes it so much easier to cut through the lies and masks of people whose support is conditional.

I have always been modest and prudish and now I can celebrate it, instead of being “othered” by it. I feel as though it is a symbol of my devotion, but also a form of radical self-care that I celebrate myself.

It is Hera’s Crown.

It is Athena’s War Helmet.

It is Hermes’ Winged Helmet.

It is Eurybia’s Cloak of the Ocean.

It is Hades’ Helmet of Shadow.

It is Hestia’s Veil.

It is Zeus’ Crown.

It makes me feel godly and holy. It protects me. It invigorates me. It gives me confidence.

Khaire.

The thing a lot of feminists discuss a lot is what is actually empowerment. Because some will say it's makeup, high heels and generally conforming to the beauty standard, or maybe wearing a hijab or other religious head or body covering. And I just think the word they're looking for is just confidence. It's not empowering to shave your legs or cover up your entire body, but it does reduce shame. I'm also ashamed of walking out unshaved, with no concealer and with dirty hair, so when I do shaving or make up, the lack of shame creates a fleeting but pleasant feeling of confidence. Rejecting beauty norms entirely would be more of an actual empowerment, but I'd have to bear the shame first. And I don't know if I can do that.

#obviously not telling muslim or other religious women they shouldn't veil btw and if you read it like that you're willfully misinterpreting #im mostly criticising myself here #feminism #intersectionalfeminist #liberal feminism #radical feminism

2015: Gisele Marie, a Muslim heavy metal musician, plays guitar during a concert in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Marie, 42, is the granddaughter of German Catholics, and converted to Islam several months after her father died in 2009. “People do not expect to see a Muslim woman who uses a Burqa, practices the religion properly and is a professional guitarist who plays in a heavy metal band, so many are shocked by it,” said Marie. “But other people are curious and find it interesting, and others think that it’s cool.”

The Hijab did not originate from Islam nor are they oppressive when women have the freedom to choose when they wear one.

Here are some more designs from my new game:

[ID: Six portrait drawings of niqabis each shown at an 3/4 angle from the chest up. First. A woman with light skin, blue eyes, and acne wears a blue headscarf, a Saudi niqab in a blue-purple gradient with one large horizontal blue stripe, and a decorative blue rose. Second. A woman with medium dark skin and brown eyes wears a pink headscarf and a half niqab in a pink-peach gradient. Her niqab and hijab are decorated with pearls. She wears an additional orange veil, and a pink flower crown. She has freckles. Third. A woman with medium light skin wears a traditional all-black multi layered niqab, with some layers flipped over her back, and one transparent layer covering her brown eyes. Fourth. A woman wears a blue burqa. Fifth. A woman with dark skin, black eyes, and vitiligo, wears a green niqab with nose piece and flower detailing at the bottom. She wears a flowy loose mint green veil on top. Sixth. A woman with light skin and turquoise eyes wears a red niqab with black dots and black decorative mesh at the bottom. She wears a red outer veil. The watermark in each image reads Ameera Meiker. /end ID]

I'm really happy with how this turned out, especially how you can make so many different designs and characters! There's lots of options for eyes, skin differences, and makeup. Not to mention all the different niqabs, colors, and outer veils you can choose from.

If you're a niqabi and there is an item missing to truly create yourself, send me a message and I'll see if I can update the game for you. It's time you get to see yourself represented in games, too! ^^

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.

Veiled Queer People Belong In Queer Spaces Too

I've seen this idea that's sort of ingrained in the queer community that someone who dresses modestly and/or veils is either homophobic or doesn't belong in queer spaces. In reality, there are many queer people that wear veils like hijab/niqab, tichel, himation/tegidion, the list goes on. I think that idea comes from veiling being associated with misogyny and misogyny being linked with homophobia. While misogyny is often linked with homophobia, veiling is NOT a misogynistic practice. There's also this idea that men/nonbinary people can't and don't wear veils and many trans men and nonbinary people feel invalidated because queer and cishet people alike don't know that many religions allow and even encourage men to wear veils. In Hellenic polytheism (my religion) men and women alike have historically worn veils like the himation. I get a lot of people asking me why I identify as transmasc while wearing a veil and telling me that there's no point in me being nonbinary while wearing veils.
