Battle of the Hijabs (Under read more because this got longer than I thought and I started ranting about why representation in media fucking sucks atp and why the TV show Quantico is the worst):
Coming in at number 1, getting the gold: LITERALLY ALL THE HIJABIS IN WE ARE LADY PARTS like the variation in hijabs alone is so beautiful I love it, iykyk, Stream Bashir with the Good Beard. Like very real to life with different styles and personalities, don't you just love when shows actually treat hijabis as real human beings
All the hijabis from every version of Skam (except Italy fuck you)
Goldie is like next bc the actress isn't a hijabi but like I feel like they depicted being a hijabi really well for the most part like with her thinking she wanted to take it off and realizing everything about herself was nice it was very complex and well done imo
Qadri's next cause tbh I liked her style and the fact that she wore al Amira hijabs. I know everyone's like oh those are for little girls or they're ugly but tbh it makes sense bc I feel like being that she's training to be a surgeon and it is very convenient cause who's trying to be calling a code and fight with some chiffon or jersey material?? Not me! (They lose points for that one scene cause you mean to tell me she's only going to use her hijab to stop the bleeding and nothing else?? Come again?? She's in a hospital!!)
Next is Adina from The Bold Type, tbh idk how to feel cause she's a lesbian and played by Nikhol Boosheri and I was excited at the time but tbh some of her choices def had me scratching my head and I feel like they could've did a bit more to showcase her identity ykwim
Marjan from 911 Lone Star cause bro what the hell was the praying scene, did y'all talk to one Muslim? Download the Learning to Pray app on your phone I'll send you a link like be SO FR, then them saying her masjid kicked her out bc her hijab accidentally came off (which happens so much in television) like...again did you talk to anyone, I could see backlash yes but I just *sigh* again which Muslims did you talk to like idk about y'all but a stiff tug or strong wind has tested my hijab before like it happens, we cover back up and move on
Bottom 2 but not thee bottom, Nadia from Elite (hear me out cause the bottom of the list will make sense) obviously its so low because she wore hijab and they had some decent commentary at first, and then removed her hijab, and for Guzman ol racist crusty lip ass like, this who you risking it all for??? GIRL??? Like if Vic Mensa asked to see my hair I'd let him see that and much else (I'M KIDDING, I'd marry him first ok, astaghfirullah) no fr like but it's even that like they made it that she's more confident without her hijab people like her more, like it's obviously same old song like hijab is removed and suddenly liberation like they could've showed it in a more tasteful way if they wanted to but what did I expect from Europeans esp Spaniards like
And coming in Dead Last Raina Amin, tbh girl its not even about you...WHO WROTE THIS. Cause I watched it back in the day cause you know representation but like *pauses before I sip my coffee* hold tf on. Like where to even begin, the cop propaganda? What do you have to prove, cause they tried to get me i would've been like get tf off my porch. Like and the FBI? How did they even recruit the twins? The government watchlist? Blair Imani slid up in the masjid to snitch? I mean, what the hell? And this show had so much talent to be so extremely questionable (and that is putting it mildly). But we're discussing the twins rn. Raina specifically. So it doesn't even stop there. Like so much was wrong, so you mean to tell me she's in love with a man who used to be an IOF soldier, who helped them actively target Palestinian women for God knows what (the show implied certain things), like WTF is this, like everyone wants to talk about her removing her hijab and kissing him but like we have bigger fish to fry, that is like at the bottom of the problem list. Like did we see the man they put her with and she still loved him later EYE. And then two more things and then I'll shut up. Okay so they were working for the Government to infiltrate terrorist cells whatever bc they were going to attack American soil. No mention of how terrorist groups like the ones they're depicting mostly target minority sect Muslims and lead to their deaths that usually go unnoticed by anyone who is not them, Iran and Nigeria, if I remember correctly are where a lot of the casualties are from. I hate propaganda cause its the same old shit like we really pushing the agenda huh? And hijab removal scene again worst part cause you know what I hated after this other stuff cause red flags with major red lights and a bullhorn. But there was something where they had to change their look because their twins but like as one person but one is a hijabi, the other is not. So they were like we have to find a middle ground, someone who's easily targeted because they're muslim but also loose (I'm paraphrasing but you see what I'm saying?) Like fuck y'all. Fuck whoever wrote this. Like from head to toe Quantico is like an absolute clusterfuck of everything terrible people do with hijab characters (not to mention the rest of the cast but that would be even longer) but dead last because like maybe some of the others on this list at least tried if they're not terribly misguided but this depiction is like dangerous, it's a reminder why we don't just get all our info from TV and other fictional narratives, we talk to real people and we learn real things because this is absolute bullshit to say the least

I never fully realize how very VERY different Nimah and Raina are until they're pretending to be one another.
I'm on 2x19 and at this party Raina is pretending to be Nimah and she just freaked me out at how Nimah she was. But seeing the Raina cracks in the facade is what makes it.
Yasmine Al Massri is amazing. She deserved recognition for her portrayal of just ONE of these women, but both?!

Imagine overhearing Alex talk about her crush on you to her friends, and you overhear the convo.
“You guys they just have the most amazing smile, they’re so sweet and they even make sweats look stylish.” Alex gushed moving to grab the rest of her clothes from her locker.
“Looks like somebodys whipped” Nimah laughed tying her shoes.
“Am not.” Alex shot back
“Hey, if they really make you happy go for it Alex.” Shelby grabbed her arm as reassurance.
“Yeah, we all are.” Raina smiled.
Overhearing their convo you decided to turn the corner “Hey, so what are you guys talking about?” as the rest of the girls seemed to scatter.
“Oh nothing” Alex jumped.
“So Im guessing it has nothing to do with my ragged sweats and smile?” you teased as you leaned against the locker
“No, you look great in everything. I mean -“ Alex fumbled
“Its okay, I like you too.” you laughed at her nervous state
“But, I’ll see you around Parrish. You know where to find me.” You winked leaving her a stuttering mess

What I want for Quantico S3
- Alex and Ryan just being a normal couple without the angst, the drama, the breaking up, the pining and the keeping secrets from eachother. I want to see them act like the team they truly are/can be because that’s when their dynamic is the best
- Caleb back! I miss my snarky son already
- you can miss me with his brother though, i never really cared about him (though tbf, that was probably mostly because of that storyline between him and shelby. was that really necessary? really?)
- let Shelby and Caleb get back together
- Shelby in Quantico
- give Harry a decent storyline and the love and affection he deserves
- what the fuck do you mean Nimah and Raina won’t be back??
- bring Sebastian back (also with a decent storyline!), let him apologize to Harry for treating him like shit and then let them rebuild something build on trust and mutual respect (because i will go down with this ship, but i need Sebastian to start treating Harry better and to own up to the fact that he fucked things up with him big time)
- Owen and Miranda dating? Please?

Raina came downstairs with her hijab and Shelby breathed a sigh of relief like she’s finally seeing her friend for the first time and said “Raina, it’s nice to see you”.

I love your reasons for Shelby's sorting! Would you mind doing that for Simon, Caleb, Raina, and Nimah too please?
yes of course! I’m so sorry for taking so long, I’ve been extremely busy with work and school :). Here you have it! 
Tumblr media
While he may carry over some of his mother’s Slytherin-esque qualities, Caleb is a Gryffindor through and through. His insistence upon honesty is what places him here for me; he cannot stand when someone is not telling the truth. As we have seen several times throughout the season, Caleb is willing to splinter his family and risk relationships just so he can force people to be truly and brutally honest, no matter the consequences. He also has a strong drive to do what is just and right, as we see him attempt to protect Shelby from harsh realities, and switch to Alex’s side when he realizes that she is innocent. Caleb is ruled by a sense of justice that will guide his every decision. 
Tumblr media
Raina is a Hufflepuff due to her kindness, loyalty, and hardworking attitude. She goes to Quantico simply to help her sister achieve her dreams, not due to any motivation on her part. She is forgiving of others for whatever lies and trespasses they may have infringed, and works hard to make sure she is putting forth her best effort at Quantico. Raina extends her warm heart to everyone she encounters, and will stay by their side till the end. 
Tumblr media
Nimah and her sister are opposites in several ways, and this plays true to their sortings as well. Nimah is a Slytherin due to her cunning and ambition. While she may have the bravery of a Gryffindor, Nimah knows how to play the game better than anyone else. Her ability to think on her feet and adapt to any situation not only keep her alive, but help her rise in the ranks of the FBI as she knows just when to play the right card. She is a strategist at heart, who will abandon her own family if it means she is staying true to herself first. 
Tumblr media
Simon was one of the most difficult characters to sort for me. He has the intelligence of a Ravenclaw, the cunning of a Slytherin, and the loyalty of a Hufflepuff. However, what stands out to me is his unwavering bravery in every situation, and that is why I have placed him in Gryffindor. Simon has a strong sense of wrong and right, and does some pretty irrational things in defense of this moral code. We see him confront someone whom he believes to be a serial killer, for petes sake. Simon is always willing to sacrafice for the greater good, eventually culminating in him willingly ending his own life so that others may live. He isn’t afraid to stare death in the face if he knows he’s doing the right thing. If that’s not the definition of bravery, I don’t know what is. 
There you have it! Hope you enjoyed this sorting, and if not, let me know why! As always, I enjoy seeing another perspective!
- The Emperor
