not me thinking jaheira's name sounds oddly familiar and then realizing it sounds like the arabic name jahira, which would make sense given her husband was named khalid (name w/ arabic origin)

How did none of my fellow bellydance friends tell me all the classic Arabic songs in Moon Knight?!?! Literally less than 5 mins into episode 1 is Abdel Halim Hafez's Khosara, although most people probably thought it was Jay-Z's Big Pimpin'.
Lots of other absolute classics too like Batwanes Beek by Warda & Alf Leyla Wa Leyla by Oum Kalthoum.
If you liked the music in Moon Knight I recommend checking out some of the other pieces & artists mentioned here. You may actually recognize more than you think. I personally recommend anything by Upper Egypt Ensemble.

I may well put together a Spotify playlist too, but Suhaila's list is *muah*.

also can i just say.... i really appreciate the character designs in this show and that 3 of the 5 core cast members are POC. like Suletta Shaddiq and Guel each of them are varying shades of brown and thats just so rare to see in an anime. they really said fuck colorism

I love how intricate asexuality can be. No sex at all? Sure! Just want to watch? Brilliant! Only comfortable with topping? You go girl! Only rarely feel aroused and when you do it's very touch and go? Wonderful! Kinky but not in a sex way? Coolio! Queerness is full of nuance and people are complicated and things never live in a vacuum!!
