Azraq, the captive ifrit prince turned assassin; part of my fairytale retelling series, he’s the huntsman in my Snow White story.

Yes, his name is Blue in Arabic 🤪 He was forced into captivity by a dark magic user, controlling him via the bands on his horns. He just wanted to be a healer, but against Az’s will, he’s an assassin sent after a wild (and silly) heiress to the throne. 🩵

He went through a couple design changes before we ended up here! Do you like the black hair or blue hair?

Dabke

I had the greatest honor of working on this collab with the most amazing artists! We chose a dabke theme to show the strength and resilience of the Pales tinian people. The dabke is a joyful Levantine folk dance, and to many Pales tinians, a form of resistance that our joy and traditions will carry on. You can find the names of these amazing artists on my IG post.

Please consider donating to relief organizations and verified campaigns for Pales tinians trying to escape G4za. And don’t forget to boycott certain brands and speak up! They deserve to celebrate and be happy, and it’s the very least we can do to do our part and try to help. May Allah relieve their burdens and help us help them.

Pales tine’s Shadow

As a Palestinian myself, seeing the Dome of the Rock with Palestinians in Shadow’s debut game Sonic Adventure 2: Battle meant the world to me as a child. Palestinians have always been erased from the public. If you said Palestine, people would “correct” you by saying, “you mean Isr4el” and I have many painful memories of this erasure throughout my life.

Shadow has always been my favorite character of any media, and as a child, I liked to headcanon him as Palestinian because of the rare appearance of Palestinians in our homeland, his story arc (targeted and imprisoned by an oppressive military force for no reason besides their own personal gain, his grief and anger over his best friend’s murder, etc), and the silly idea that whenever he held a green chaos emerald, he was the colors of the Palestinian flag :)

The patterns on Shadow’s quills is called tatreez, a traditional form of embroidery from Palestine for women’s dresses and such. Many Christmas sweaters will actually use tatreez, but not many know of it because of the erasure Palestinians constantly face.

Don’t let them erase us.

I sat with my anger long enough until she told me her real name was grief. -C.S. Lewis

Women in Gaza deserve to live free and happy lives. Support your sisters in Palestine or take the feminist mask off.

Healthcare workers in G4za are facing a catastrophe. They risk life and limb everyday trying to save people at their own expense. Without proper equipment, without room, without electricity, under attack, they’ve been doing their best with the skills they have, and sometimes, it’s their own loved ones they have to save next. But who is saving them?? Some haven’t seen their family in months. They are human beings, they are not machines, they are not super heroes with super powers, they are as vulnerable as anyone else but with an extra target on their back. Healthcare workers are being actively targeted by the IOF, yet many persist on. That’s what makes them heroes of Gaza. May Allah be with you, all healthcare workers in P4lest1ne and all P4lest1nians, especially those in G4za. May Allah shower you with His Blessings, His Love, His Warmth, His Glory, His Might, His Safety, and His Victory, allahuma ameen.
