Coffee Time II

Waiter: What would you like to order?

Raven: I want chai tea.

Damian, eyebrow raising : What did you just say?

Raven: Well, I love chai tea.

Damian, rubbing his temples : "Chai" means "tea"...

Damian: You're literally saying "tea tea."

Raven, a little annoyed : You know what I mean...

Damian, sarcastically : Sure, sure...

Damian: Bring a chai tea to her and a 'ahwa coffee for me, please.

Okay! As you may know, your car has a battery. They last 3-5 years, and degrade over time. They’ll degrade much quicker if the car isn’t used. Because the battery will die if you don’t drive it frequently enough, it’s a big problem for the elderly, travelers, college students, etc.

There is a device called a battery maintainer which costs between $5-$25 depending on the quality. You remove the battery from the car, plug in the device to a wall, and attach them together. The battery maintainer will supply enough voltage to keep the battery charged and prevent degrading.

This lengthens its lifespan. The more frequently a battery is used, the better its health is. A battery is typically at risk of corrosion after 2-4 weeks of no usage. This causes it to “die”

Battery maintainers are so cheap and simple and really will save you a lot of money if you travel or ever don’t use your car often. A new battery is $200 and this can make the difference between replacing it multiple times a year or 2-3 times a decade.

Maybe I should start writing automobile/handywoman/carpenter/safety posts bc I know a lot of women who aren’t apt at it

“Truly, from amongst what I fear for you are the seductive desires in your stomachs and your private parts and the misguidance of desire.”

Hi maya hope your doing well. Im not sure whether or not this follows the request rules so feel free to not write it. But could you do headcanons of the stardust crusaders with a member who comes from Egypt along with Avdol. As an Egyptian I thought this would be a cool idea .

Masterlist

Now, Jotaro’s pretty much the definition of “Don’t care, didn’t ask”

It’s not that he genuinely doesn’t care out of callousness, but he simply doesn’t feel like it affects him much, nor does it cause any difference in the way he treats them

He does secretly enjoy the fact that they’re closer in age, and so finds it easier to come to them and listen to their tips and tricks for not getting swindled or lost in Cairo

They know the fastest routes to take, the cheapest but best kebda w sogo’ stands, and the most laidback ahwa shops for them to enjoy when they’re resting between stops; something Jotaro greatly appreciates

Stressed as he is, Jotaro can’t deny the fact that he feels his heart twitch in his chest with fondness whenever they share a few drags of shisha at night amidst the bustle of the city

Kakyoin’s usual nonchalance is curbed aside, since his curiosity and inquisitive nature pull him to them

He wants to learn more about their customs and traditions; wants to understand their lifestyle and try his best to fit in—and what better way to do that than to turn to the person who indulges him on his every whim?

Perhaps it’s because Kakyoin happens to be a good listener that they find themself going off on a tangent about how the nightlife comes alive in certain areas for “propriety”, and how revolutionaries wait patiently for their time before the country collapses and carry it on their shoulders, and so much more

When he isn’t keenly absorbing all that information, he’s asking them to teach him how to play tawla, and reveling in the feeling of slowly getting better at the game

He does feel a certain warmth in his face and tummy when he sees the proud smile on their face as they observe him picking up on everything they teach him

Polnareff didn’t care either, but for an entirely different reason: he was set on wooing them eitherways

He’d try to charm them with all the weapons he had in his arsenal, but for an Egyptian who’s so used to it, it’s kind of hard to impress them with flowery words and gestures

What does win them over is his chivalry, which flatters them more than anything; something they intend to repay by taking them to the most affordable but comfortable accommodations they know, which Polnareff is thrilled by

Given his friendship with Avdol, Polnareff definitely goes to them to learn Egyptian cursewords so he can exasperate the man even more (“Erm, pardon, but why does this one refer to someone’s mother’s genitals—“)

Seeing how reliable they are in their current setting definitely endears them even more to him, because it’s well-known that Polnareff finds strength and kindness immensely attractive

Avdol’s pretty much internally weeping with relief at the fact that he’s got another Egyptian with him, given the fact that the others have probably publicly humiliated him on more than one occasion with their lack of awareness

It’s safe to say that there’s a very high possibility that Avdol comes out of this experience with them permanently by his side—and whether as a lifelong friend, or as a permanent partner, it’s entirely up to them

They just get each other; he knows just when they need to take a break from guiding the others and need to unwind with a few cups of shay be laban with him, he knows when they want to cuss out the entire trip in the filthiest choice of words to the one man who can laugh with them, and he knows when they wish to indulge in some termes bel shatta by the Nile Corniche, happily munching and spitting out the shells as they trek closer to the mansion

Avdol’s finely attuned to their wants and needs, and they do the same to him—something that pulls forth all the affections he has burrowed in his chest, and he finds himself enjoying the way they dote on him with twinkling eyes and a knowing smile

The feeling that they’re always sharing an inside joke is what makes Cairo feel more like home than ever, and Avdol doesn’t want to let go of that feeling any time soon

Joseph is… definitely a handful, given that he sometimes unknowingly acts like a typical white old man, whose actions can sometimes come across as tone-deaf or thoughtless

They do know that he doesn’t mean it, though, and that he’s actively trying to unlearn the stereotypes he’s used to, so they take the time to patiently teach him all the right customs and traditions, and correct him on his misconceptions

It’s their kindness that touches him the most; their almost-selflessness shows him just how much they care about him, especially when it’s something as simple as finding him his favorite beer in an obscure Drinkies shop, or replacing his tattered gloves with handmade leather ones from El Wekala

Knowing the city like the back of their hand also increases Joseph’s soft spot for them, seeing as how he tends to get lost among the similar looking streets and hawary, and they always drag him back via the most accessible shortcuts

Joseph smiles wistfully as he sees their youthfulness and the way their presence brightens their dreary group just a little more, and he loses himself in whatever they drag him into, knowing he’d love it anyways

*sticky note on. someone you choose. that says "KICK ME"*

[The note appeared on.. Guide, why not. Knock-Off — copying Conductor — seemingly appeared from nowhere, kicking Guide in her two-dimensional lack of shins. It looked more like he just kicked the chair itself.]

[But nonetheless, Guide hopped up off the chair, giving an exclamation one would make when they have just been kicked in the shins.]

AHWA— WHAT THE FUCK!!! BOTH OF YOU!!!

[I shrugged. They gave me free choice and I wanted to have fun with it]

Heyyy!! I’ve been thinking of good ideas for Assignment 6 for the past few weeks, and I’ve found one that I think is interesting. I am thinking of taking the next 3 days until my finals begin this Friday to capture the life of a typical Egyptian male in his mid twenties that is navigating through the challenges of unemployment.

Photo Essay: I’ll be basing most of my shots in an Egyptian local ahwa (café) representing Adam who escapes the truth and reality of life’s challenges by smoking shisha in addition to playing some dominoes or backgammon with his friends.

Please tell me your opinion and comments as soon as you could since I’m planning to start shooting this evening.
