#Scalding Sands' Al'ab Nariya

[ladyazurith]

Cater and Malleus friendship fic set during the Scalding Sands fireworks event.

Friendship, true friendship, had always been a mystery to Cater Diamond, but when Jamil tells the story of a magical melon that can bind friends together forever, Cater believes it's real. His hope turns to tears in the middle of the night when he thinks he's alone on his balcony. A foolish idea given his room is right next to Malleus Draconia. In the end, maybe the melon wasn't so fake after all.

Enjoy!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------When Grim heard about the summer fireworks festival in the Land of Scalding Sands that is to be hosted by Kalim, he demanded that they take both him and (Y/n) to the Land of Scalding Sands.

Jamil was incredibly reluctant about this, of course. On one hand, he really wanted to bring his lady crush, aka (Y/n), over to the Land of Scalding Sands to tour around his hometown, to see the fireworks and to spend time with you.

But on the other, he was going to be extremely busy with the festival preparations that he wouldn't have time to do all of that. Of course, none of that went unnoticed by Kalim.

He was aware of Jamil's growing crush on you ever since you saved him from his Overblot during winter break. He was happy that Jamil had found someone to love. And so, he pleaded with Jamil that he wanted to show (Y/n) the wonderful lifestyle of his hometown.

Finally, with great reluctance, Jamil relented, mostly to stop both Grim and Kalim from whining his ear off. Having to deal with six guests sounds exhausting enough. The last thing he wanted was to suffer another headache.

However, he was secretly happy that you get to come along with them. He honestly couldn't wait to show you around his homeland, and he hoped that getting to spend time with you would be worth the hassle.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Kalim and Jamil, along with you, Grim, Trey, Cater and Malleus, arrived in Silk City, the center of the Land of Scalding Sands, you marveled at the sight around you. The buildings, the canal, the bridge, and the palm trees. It was as if you were suddenly transported into an Arabian fairytale.

"Wow! I never knew Silk City would be this beautiful!" you exclaimed. Jamil felt a sense of pride when he heard your praise about the city he grew up in. As he and Kalim explained the geography, history and economy of their country and their ancestors, you listened with great interest. There's a lot of really interesting stuff to learn in Silk City.

After the seven of you arrived at the Al-Asim manor, Kalim decided to have you, Trey, Cater and Malleus dressed in the traditional outfits of the Land of Scalding Sands as a surprise to make them remember their trip and to have them feel the history of their country.

And so, Trey, Cater and Malleus, including Jamil all got themselves dressed in the Scalding Sands traditional outfits. "I'm done!" you called out as you emerged, wearing your new outfit.

As everyone looked, they were all stunned by your appearance, but none were more stunned than Jamil. Your (h/l) (h/c) locks were tied into a ponytail in two sections with matching peacock-green bands. You wore a turquoise bandana centered with a sapphire gem adorned into it and a long transparent veil behind your hair. Two large golden earrings and a matching necklace completed the finishing touch.

Jamil never thought much about beautiful women in his lifetime, for he had seen many beautiful women in Silk City. However, you were completely different. There was something about you that caught his eye. What was it? He couldn't put his finger on it.

As he watched you walking towards him in an elegant manner, you looked like a royal princess, similar to the beautiful princess in tales of old...

"Jamil-kun, your mouth's hanging open." Cater pointed with a laugh. Jamil immediately closed his mouth. Why was his mouth hanging open? Was he really that stunned by (Y/n)'s beauty in your new Scalding Sands outfit? What was going on with him?

Jamil blushed with embarrassment. He had to be careful, lest he embarrasses himself more. (Y/n) then took notice of his fancy outfit and smiled at him. "Wow, I like your outfit! You look like a prince. So handsome." you complimented.

That did it. Jamil blushed darkly at your compliment. Him? A prince? Ridiculous. There's nothing princely about him. He's merely a servant. Nevertheless, he appreciated your compliment.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before long, Jamil escorted you, Grim, Trey, Cater and Malleus to the Camel Bazaar. There, Grim saw a shawarma stall and drooled at the delicious food. Jeez, that cat monster, he's always thinking about his next meal. You were pretty hungry yourself, as were your friends.

So Jamil ordered six shawarma for the seven of you, but then he noticed that his was missing. As Trey counted heads, the group saw that the thief who stole Jamil's shawarma was none other than...

"Hmm, what's wrong, Jamil-kun? Your lips are quivering." Cater said with a smile as Jamil stared bug-eyed at the dark-haired girl standing next to Trey with his shawarma.

"NAJMA?!" Jamil screamed. What was his little sister doing here?! He didn't have time to deal with her! "Go home, Najma!" he said sternly. But Najma was offended. "So cruel! And I just came all this way to deliver you a message from our father." she said with a pout.

(Y/N) chuckled. When Najma pouted, she certainly takes after her brother. "Why don't we let her come with us?" you asked. Jamil crossed his arms. "Absolutely not!" he yelled. He didn't want to start taking care of seven people all at once.

"Oh, come on. I would love to get to know her better." you said. Najma beamed at you with shiny eyes. "Really?" she asked. When you nodded, she smiled happily. Jamil groaned. This is going to be a long day.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Najma was so happy that she got to see her big brother. And she was quite surprised that he brought a pretty girl with him. Who is she? She has to know!

"So, Jamil, is (Y/n) your girlfriend?" she asked. Jamil blushed furiously before he pressed his finger to his lips and shushed her harshly. "Don't be ridiculous! She's not my girlfriend!" he said. "She's just a classmate from school." But Najma wasn't fooled.

She noticed the way Jamil would softly smile at you as he talked to you. He had never done that to any girl before he enrolled in Night Raven. So that would mean...

"Could've fooled me, big brother. It's so obvious that you like her." she said with a teasing grin. "Najma..." Jamil said, giving her a warning glare. "Alright, alright." she said, holding her hands up in surrender. However, she still had one last remark.

"You know, I'd love to have her as a future sister-in-law one day." she said. "NAJMA!!!" Jamil shrieked with a red, flustered face. Najma Viper has the last laugh.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jamil spent the rest of the day showing you and the group some food stalls and souvenir stalls. It was such a strange feeling. Jamil had never felt like this before. Strolling through the market with your crush, it's almost like a...

A date?! Jamil quickly pushed that embarrassing thought out from his head. "Get a grip on yourself, Jamil!" he silently scolded himself. He was a servant to the Al-Asims. He was always busy, he never had time to fall in love with anyone.

After his Overblot incident back during winter break, he tried to find ways to punish you for ruining his plans, but after seeing that you were willing to help him to make his work easier, he soon found himself enamored by you, despite trying to resist his feelings.

After catching the thief that stole the USB drive for the fireworks launchers, Jamil sat beside you as the two of you watched the fireworks paint the starry night sky with bright colors.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You then turned to Jamil. "Jamil, there's something I've been wanting to tell you." you said. "What is it?" he asked. "Well... you've worked very hard giving us a tour of the bazaar. I really had a wonderful time." you said.

Jamil smiled. Hearing that meant that it was worth the hassle if you had a wonderful time. "As long as you fully enjoyed yourself, that is above all." Jamil said. "For me it became a very... memorable day."

"Well, I did have fun. Silk City is amazing." you said, looking at Jamil. "Don't look away, watch the fireworks. Especially since I went through the trouble to bring you here. I need you to spread the world that the fireworks of the Scalding Sands are amazing." Jamil said.

"The fireworks are amazing, but there's something, or rather someone, far more amazing than the fireworks." you said, not looking away. "And who might that be?" Jamil asked, raising a suspicious eyebrow.

You smiled at Jamil before you leaned towards him and kissed him right on the lips. Jamil flinched as you pulled away from him, his cheeks burning red. "You, Jamil." you replied. "She kissed me! She KISSED me!" his mind shouted and his heart beat wildly in his chest.

"You're the most amazing person in the world. Spending time with you is the highlight of it all." you whispered tenderly. For a moment, Jamil said nothing for his mind and heart were racing.

He couldn't believe it! His crush had kissed him right on the lips! Was this a dream? No, it couldn't be...! Another kiss on the lips snapped him out of his shock. He looked as (Y/N) smiled sweetly at him. "I love you, Jamil. Now and always." you softly whispered.

"In the future, we'll go to wherever you want to go. Let me share a whole new world with you. Now and forever, I'm yours, Jamil."

An elated smile slowly crept over Jamil's lips. This isn't a dream. All his life, he had nothing to claim as his own. If he ever found a girlfriend, he would have to give her up to Kalim as his future wife.

However, you came along and banished all of those unpleasant thoughts from his head. You gave him his very first kiss, proving that you chose him over Kalim. A surge of joy leapt in Jamil's heart as he kissed you back so passionately as the fireworks exploded in the sky.

A sudden shrill whistle pierced the air, making the both of you pull away from each other. "Whoo! Way to go, (Y/N)!" Cater whooped as he held up his phone, likely having captured the whole event on video. "What a cute couple you two make." Trey added with a mischievous smile.

"I knew you two were meant to be together!" Najma added joyfully. "Congratulations, Jamil!" Kalim cheered. Jamil groaned in embarrassment as he glared at the group. "Those guys... I swear I'll get them for this later...!"

First Date - Scarabia

SUMMARY: What would your first date with him be like? I know first dates might not go so well, but let's pretend these are different. ;)

CHARACTERS: Kalim Al-Asim & Jamil Viper

TAGS: Fluf; GN Reader; Flirting; Kissing

WARNING: Spoilers from: Book 4 AND A Firelit Sky: over the Sands

WORD COUNT: An average of 670 words per character.

Heartslabyul / Savanaclaw / Octavinelle / Scarabia / Pomefiore / Ignihyde / Diasomnia

COMMENTS: I managed to write this one in one day. First because there are only two characters. But second, because I feel that Kalil is relatively easy to write and because I'm similar to Jamil in many ways, what I write about him tends to flow easily.

I hope you enjoy ;)

Kalim's already taken you on a carpet ride, took you to Scarabia’s Oasis, taken you to his homeland, showed you the fireworks of Al'ab Nariya. What the heck is he going to do for your date?!?! JAMIL HELP!!! First of all: No animal parades!

They both discuss it for some time until Jamil says that it’s not a bad idea to do something you've done before but in a different way. Kalim's taken you on a carpet ride before, but not in a romantic context. And you two have been to the Oasis, but not alone.

He still wants to do something new, something bigger, but he trusts Jamil's opinion and advice. After all, he knows you too, maybe he's right and that's enough for a first date.

He surprises you one night. You hear someone knocking on your bedroom window, which is on the first floor. When you draw the curtains, he's there, sitting on his flying carpet. And he invites you to go with him, somewhere. It's a surprise. Do you trust him?

You ride around the NRC for a while, enjoying the view of the campus at night, before he takes you to Scarabia, to fly once more through those skies, this time at night. And it's Beautiful! The sky was clear, revealing all the stars surrounding the large half moon. And this time, you weren't talking about Jamil, but about each other.

He talks and smiles a lot. He asks a lot about you, you likes, your world, etc. He's so curious about the person he has a crush on. And he ends up getting very close to you without realizing it. Your shoulders touching. Maybe the carpet fakes a little turbulence to get the two of you even closer, to the point where you're in each other's arms. If you don't show yourself uncomfortable, or on the contrary, even smile about it, then you will stay that way for the rest of the ride.

You arrive at the Oasis. The moon reflecting in the calm waters. He helps you get off the carpet and starts looking around muttering something like “Where was it again?” The carpet flies to one of the nearby palm trees and returns with a basket and picnic blanket, and Kalim thanks it. Needless to say, it was Jamil who put the basket in there and prepared the food.

The two of you continue talking as you eat, sitting on the picnic blanket by the water. He looks like he's having as much fun as you are, until his expression gets slightly less excited because he's remembered something: “Um... (Y/N)?... Are you enjoying the date? I mean, I think you are, you're smiling a lot. But... is this really enough? It doesn't feel enough.”

You tell him that this is enough, of course it is. The two of you being together is enough to make you smile. Being alone with Kalim like this, on an official date, is more than enough. And he's so glad about that! He is so relieved that he can make you so happy with so little. That means he can always make you happy and see your wonderful smile.

He hugs you and tells you how he’s felling, how happy he is that you are happy by his side. Then the carpet nudges him in the shoulder. He looks confused for a moment, until he realizes what the carpet brought him that he had already forgotten about. “AH! Yeah, I was having so much fun I forgot. You're a lifesaver.” he says to the carpet.

He gives you a big bouquet of jasmines. At Scalding Sands, he told you about the story of the thief who gave jasmines to the princess he loved, remember? You look at the beautiful flowers and Kalim's big and sweet smile. You have nothing to give him... except for, maybe, a thank you kiss.

Jamil is always busy and stressed. Yet somehow, he managed to arrange a night for the two of you. He's managed to get some Scarabian students responsible enough to take care of Kalim while he's with you. However, if something happens he won't be too far away, because he took you to Scarabia anyway.

He took you to the empty room where you stayed when... well, he kinda kidnapped you... You had no idea what he had planned until he opened the door. It wasn't empty. It had cushions on the floor, a small table for eating, opaque and translucent fabrics decorating the walls. It reminded you a little of his dorm lounge, but more romantic. And it was night, so the only things illuminating the interior were the moonlight coming through the small window and the lighted lamps. He did all that for you?

A quiet and comfy place where he can have a dinner and rest with you, this is what he prepared for you two. You enter and sit on the cushions in front of the table full of food prepared by him. He made your favourite foods, his favourite foods, new foods that you said at some point you wanted to try, an authentic feast to the taste of both of you.

He will look at you discreetly while you eat something you like, to appreciate the face you make when you're delighted by it. When you try something new, he will offer to feed you, again because he wants to see your reaction. Of course everything is delicious, he doesn't have to worry about you not liking the dishes and he knows it. After all, he was careful to make things he knew you would like, removing all the ingredients you didn't like.

You're on a date, which means you have a crush on each other and which makes him allow himself to be more cheeky. At the end of dinner, he will take advantage of you leaning back a little and lay his head on your thighs. When he sees your blushing face he smirks a little. Truth being told, he's blushing a little bit himself. You can see he's tired, despite his attempts to hide it from you. That and you can feel his body relaxing. After all, it's his date too.

You start petting his head his head and playing with his hair, and you see a smile so sweet and so rare that it warms your heart. He reaches out to caress your cheek. “Can I ask you something?” you nod and he smirk once more “Could you feed me some grapes?” you raise an eyebrow, still smiling a little “Please? I've always been curious to know what it felt like.”

You take the bunch of grapes and bring them close to you so that you can take one grape at a time and feed it to Jamil. You see his expression is a little smug, but grateful and appreciative too. You two chat while you feed him the grapes, until he gently takes your hand before you can take it back to the bunch of grapes and kiss it.

His kiss was so soft and caring, you couldn't help but wonder what it would feel like to have them on yours. He gets up, sits beside you, and look you in the eyes. Your first reflection? After what happened when he took you to Scarabia the first time? Quickly look away, as if dodging something.

He lets out a low gasp. “Wait, no, I’m, not...” he gives you a moment, until he brings his hand to your cheek “I'm sorry, really sorry. But I promise you I won't do it to you ever again. It's different now. I didn't know you. But now I do.” with his other hand, he takes yours “I don't do that to people I care about. And know I care about you. Please... let me see your eyes.” You give in and look into his eyes. And you feel nothing but your heart racing. And his face comes even closer to yours.

Other Notes

+ Che’nya’s full name is rendered differently between the EN and JP versions. + Leona's family's royal chamberlain, Kifaji, had his name changed to "Neji" in the localization. The reason for this is unclear. (Kifaji means "food" in Swahili, which makes sense if you consider Scar and Zazu's relationship.) + Fellow Honest's name was changed to "Ernesto Foulworth" in the localization to better reflect Honest John's real name. + Gidel's name was changed to "Gino".

[crystallizsch]

Hihi!!! I want to learn more about ur TWST OCs!!! Number 12 for both of them perhaps?

12) What is your OC’s favorite event(s), what was their role?

━━━━━━✦ Yuusha - Al'ab Nariya

Yuusha's favorite event was definitely when she, Grim, and others were invited to Al’ab Nariya. Her role there was simply to be a tourist and a guest by the Asims.

It was honestly a welcome break away from NRC for Yuusha. Plus, she loves it whenever she gets invited to hometown events by her friends.

Not only that, the sounds of a bustling marketplace and the diverse tastes of Scalding Sands cuisine gave Yuusha a sense of nostalgia.

Other fun things for Yuusha: Getting to wear the yasamina silk outfits. Seeing Jamil in his outfit. Experiencing Scalding Sands with Grim, Malleus, Cater, and Trey. Meeting Najma. Souvenirs. Dancing and the fireworks.

━━━━━━✦ Yuuna - Beanfest

Beanfest would be Yuuna's favorite event because it finally gave them a chance to be competitive with everyone else since magic wasn’t allowed. Their role is that they are on the farmer’s team with Cater.

Yuuna did not expect it to be the one responsible for touching the harp. It gave them a bit of an ego

It sucked that they still lost though. But Yuuna had to admit that Jack’s abilities were absolutely commendable, so they couldn’t even be mad. Just a tad bit disappointed in themselves that they were SO close.

Beanfest was so exciting and thrilling for Yuuna overall. They would love to do it again.

thank you so much for the ask, anon!! this was fun to answer! :D feel free to ask still! (twst oc questionnaire)

Twisted Wonderland: 5 Homeplaces and Countries I wish to see in futurs “Travel Events“

It’s been two years now since the first Twst’s “Travel Event“  Scalding Sands' Al'ab Nariya was released. In theses events, groups of four NRC’s students goes to explore and discover  countries outside of the College’s ground. Event if the unstanding Crimsom Flowers and Bell of Salvation that take place in the City Flowers (XVI century like Paris) and Port Fest : Breezy Brass Beat make us discover the town that separate Night Raven College and Royal Swords Academy are indeed “Travel Event“, I will focuced there on the “Travel Event“ which  NRC main characters’s to visit one of them’s homeland.

So there is a kinda of Top five of the homeland/birthplace that I wish to see in futur “Travel Events“ :-) 

1) Briar Valley (Malleus, Silver, Sebek and Lilia)

I don’t where to start for that entry...

It’s feels so unreal.  It’s just wasn’t so expectating to see Briar Valley and that beautifull tribute Evelyn Earl art for Sleeping Beauty by designning the forest just like he’s. When, at the end of Chapter 7 Part 3, the forest background appeared on screen with this little soft medieval medley, I was crying of joy... before Past’s Lilia show up and Part 4′s releasing. I am currently working on a review centered on Part4′s narrative and lore events, and artistics easthetics (I hope to published it before Part 5 releasing ( There is too much things that I wish to talk about T_T )) but in paralle to give a such turmoil of angst, tears and melancolia, Part 4 give more expectations and for finaly seeing Briar Valley.

I wouldn’t be suprised that some time after the end of Diasomnia Arc, we got a Briar Valley’s Travel Event. Even in the Main Story, the only Valley’s locations that are revelead to us are the forest and a frontier wasteland. The rest of the time we got the area’s map with the charaters in front. We heard and read that they goes into villages and towns... And I thinks it’s on purpose. First, to stay in the dream/memories’s easthetics (some locations are clear in our mind while others, of least importances are shady or blure)  but also, indirectly give us, tease us with that countries, so often mentionned by Diasomnia boys, but so mysterious. Like them ( and the others characters) make us care and wanting to discovred their homes.

In plus of the towns and folk only evocated in the Main Story, I wish to finaly see Silver and Lilia’s house, the rest of Zigbolt family, how the relation involted between Humans and Fairies and also modern days Royal Castle ! And one of the castle’s location, I wish to see, is Malleus’s Roses Garden ^///^

According to Malleus's Silk Adorned Voice Lines, one of Briar Valley traditions is the creation of fabrics by spinning wheel. It’s can be an interesting festival. Even if, the fabrication of the fabrics from the transformation of the flax fibers to fabrics will be assist by the using of magic (as is the Briar Valley fairies’s way), the final production’s qualily may be depend of both the imagination and emotions of the group (elements that are the base of magic in Twst Lore) and also the bound between them. It’s can be, like Elinor and Merida’s tapissery a way to restore the bounds between the characters, after Diasomnia Arc...

2) Northern Pyroxene/Shaftlands (Jack and Vil)

We need to talk.

If in Sunset Savanna's Tamashina-Mina, I can understand that he couldn’t take part to the story (I means Leona, didn’t cross your mind that an artic wolf beastmen cannot handle a place so hot !) but Haverston... The whole story is about one of Jack’s trainning... Sledge !!! It’s true that Jack’s intervention could change at some point the story and perphash put some shadow on the team and Epel’s leaderships. I don’t know... But still, it’s been a long time that Jack don’t had his glory’s moment.

More I read, listen trivias and stories about his hometown, his familly, more  I wish so deeply to see to discover his hometown. For some reason, it make me imagined it in a kinda place as a kinda Alaska land type, just like in Brother Bear or Disney’s adaptation of Jack London’s White Fang. In theses both movies, and specialy in Brother Bear, we see how, Nature is an unstanding wonder.

I imagine the group leading by Jack participated at some exploration races across the mountains, maybe setting during autumn.  And all alongside Jack’s little brother and sister. I think he is the only student with Jamil ( and Idia) to have blood siblings much younger than him. All the others are olders and already having a job. I wish to see them so much ! Who they look !! To know their names ^^ 

3)  Port O’Bless (Sam)

I know ins’t a NRC student’s homeland. It is Sam’s but he is one of NRC’s character ;-)

I loved and still love so much the Princess and the Frog . I remember when I see it for the first time in the movie theater. The movie is so beautiful , the music so entrainante (Down to New Orleans, Friends form the Other Side etc), the story, the charaters, Dr Facilier... Everyting is so gorgeous. I wish so much to see the NRC’s boys go there !

 According to Jamil Union Birthday Personal Story, in which we got some informations about the town, Port O’Bliss is the setting of many movies productions. It’s can be an opportunity for the Film Studies Club to goes on location for studing/exploring or even better making a short movie on famous filmming locations !  To make references to New Orleans’s Quartier Français and its legends... In that same Personal Story, we learn, like in the animated movie and real life’s New Orleans, music take an important part of the town’s history. I know that mascarade, and music processions like Port Fest ~Breezy Brass Beat or Crimson Flowers and Bell of Salvation were the main topic  but, like for Jack’s potential event, may be there is a way to make a twist of theses topics and bring theses in Port O’Bless’s esthetics.

With Crimson Flowers Event (Let My Wish Resound) and Chapter 6 (Absolutely Beautiful , Ya-Hoo with Everyone!, Piece of my World’s NRC tribe version), we got indeed some songs, but Twisted Wonderland differ from the Disney’s animation pictures.  If the characters sung, it’s a performance, planned with trainning and preparation. So, like the Princess and the Frog maked a  tribute to 2D muscial animationed movies, a Port O’Bliss event can be the tribute to the game inspiration...    

4) The Coral Sea and the Lands of Dawning (Azul, Floyd and Jade)

To be fair, it’s was until I was preparing that post, that I realise that I was wondering about how look Octovinelle’s three unfamous residents’s hometowns and surroundings XD.  Until know we know only the seeting of Atlantica Memorial Museum (Chapter 3), in what it’s can be called the Coral Sea’s “Warm Area“ because of the vivid colors of the corals, fishes, water temperatures etc... But it was reveled in Chapter 4 and recently in Chapter 7, that the northern area of the Coral sea is more cold-tempered or completely artic, with the formation of icebergs when winter came. When we take a look closer, we notice that  Coral Sea occuped at least half of the map. So much of variations of submarine ecosystems and seafarers’s cultures ! 

According to Azul in a conversation with Riddle during Ignihyde’s Arc, there is some “intercultural gathering centers“ in the Land of Dawning that can allowed to Seafolk to meet Landfolk. The event can be based on that easthetic, meeting the Ocean and the Shore may be trought a kinda of treasure chase in a shipwreck yard... Prehasp with some pirates’s eathetics.  

After Dragons and medieval legends/easthetics, I love sea and pirate’s stories. During the both Halloween Event, thank to Savanclaw theme’s booth, we got some Pirates of Carribean‘s vibes and I think that will be a good mix with a potential Coral Sea based event... or being the topic of an entire event.

5) Kingdom of Heroes (Idia and Ortho)

According to Chapter 6, it was indirectly and directly presented that, the kingdom of Heroes is the twisted version of Hercule’s Greece. We learn, trought the fun video-game sessions planned by Idia and Ortho, about the Legendary Hero’s Entrainer (Phillip), the Legendray Hero (Hercule), a authentic Hydra monster etc... But that all. Just the legacy and all most nothing of the Knigdom itself. 

Since Sclading Sand, all the “Travel Event“ narrative struture is based about local festival, like  fireworks in Al'ab Nariya,  ritual challenge of Tamashina-Mina,  or races for Kelkkarotu and White Rabbit Festival. The more close I can get and which is present in the animated picture, the Old Greek Games Festivals, the most famous ones are Olympy’s, Delphi’s or Corinth’s. Theses sportive games where organised to celebrated the Gods and a way to confront in an no-military situastions the differents cities. There was also, artistic festivals and in partirculary theater’s competitions.

But it’s where I am running out of theories. As far I wish to see that location and see a Twisted Wonderland version of Greece, there a tiny, little problematic detail... Idia. In each event there was a true and solid reason to gathering the group that will discovred the country, with ahead the student how is originated from.  What could encouraged, no motivated Idia, that dear hermit, to goes there ? Not family’s reunion certainly. A convention with Olympus’s Compagny and playing with Ingihyde’s Big Five Heroes vibes or there is no need of an external motivation. Maybe, it could be the change for Idia, and Ortho, to finaly reach their childhood promise. To discover and explore the World outside and upside Island of Woe...

Twisted Wonderland is a such vast world.  There is so much countries and distant lands to discover. Maybe one day we will see Cater, Riddle and Trey or Rook home towns. Some countries are only mentionned like the Kingdom of the Crimson Dragon, the Sunshine Lands or all theses territories that are charted on the map but not ( yet) named. Maybe in the futur, we, and NRC’s students, will goes in a country inspired by  Brave’s Scotland, Encanto’s Columbia, Book of Jungle’s India ... 

I hope you enjoyed that post. Take care where you are :-)

I'm between ideas now and also i want to do cards for my ocs help me choose one of the events to start drawing

🌈 What research do you plan on doing for your writing? <3 ^^

I research practically everything when I write because I hate the idea of getting info wrong.

It's crazy to me that some people just write without doing research or at least double checking if what you're writing about is accurate- especially with things they don't fully understand like science or culture.

I have many thoughts in my brain but I don't always have words to assign to them. You'd laugh at all the times I've had to look up what certain rooms in a house are called- but I at least can get emotions down pat.

For my current fic 'Worthy Heir' I definitely looked at a bunch of Arabic customs, names, and cultural practices. Scalding Sands is a place of both progress and archaic customs, I don't want to perceive Kalim trying to change certain laws as something wrong with his culture, but it is a reflection of the info we learn in the Scalding Sands Al'ab Nariya event and stuff that effects the characters in canon.

I really liked looking up Arabic terms of affection for Kalim's parents to use, and the coffee specifically made for drinking at funerals is a real thing that I learned too! So now I got all these cool facts with me forever! Researching for fiction goes a long way!

THE BABYGIRL JAMIL BRAINROT IS INSANE RIGHT NOW 😭😭

QUUUUU I MISSED U SO MUCHH IM SORRY I TOOK A WHILE TO RESPOND TO THIS I DIDNT HAVE THE MOTIVATION TO ANSWER ASKS BUT I DEFINITELY SQUEALED WHEN I SAW U IN MY INBOX AGAIN AAAAAHH

i actually had al'ab nariya brainrot like last month ueueueu but yes exactly!!! the thought of walking through the winding streets of the bazaar navigating the crowds while holding each others hands as to not get lost.

you and him go and share the melon that's told to bless friendships, families and relationships to stay together for longer. he would roll his eyes and say it's just a myth but he'd been so eager to share one with you. after all, it wouldn't hurt to try.

he loved his middle school days and he mentioned his middle school friends a couple of times during the event. imagine he introduces u to his old friends and they all just talk in arabic. he's saying how wonderful u are and his friends are all talking about how jealous they are he got THE catch while u just stand there confused. he's smile and squeeze ur hand and you'd be reassured that they're all just good things.

he'd take you to dance under the fireworks and if you don't know how, take his hands. he'll show you how. just let your body move along with his and feel the music sink into your bones and—woah! there you go! you're a natural. maybe a little teasing in arabic here and there and as he gives the signal for the biggest firework to light up the sky, he wastes no time immediately wrapping his arms around you and sharing the sweetest kiss under the sky bursting with colors.

he wants to spend next al'ab nariya with you.

and the one after that.

and the next one after that.

promise him you'll spend your life with him and he'll never let you go.

Ermine and Malik’s sprite in the new Fireworks of the Land of the Hot Sands event!

If you are curious why they are featured in this event, their interactions and some of Malik lore, you can keep reading and find about it~

Malik is the first person Kalim invites over. He already knows about this festival because his family attends it every year. He only went a couple of times before when he was a kid.

Malik didn’t seem to be very interested on the one from this year, and Jamil didn’t want him to come either (as he would have to look for him) but Kalim wanted to invite him anyways.

At the end, Malik seems to be convinced and mentions he will go, since his family is gonna be invited as well by the Asims anyway, and his grandmother won’t like him to be rude.

Kalim also invites Ermine because he is part of the Light Music club alongside Cater, Lilia and him. Cater and him decide to invite Trey with them this time.

Ermine related a lot with Jamil when he mentions he was the one organizing all the trip and schedules. He doesn’t envy him at all, but he can respect him for that.

Ermine seems to be very affected by the heat when they arrive, and he mentions he is very sensitive to the sun actually. He is the first one to look very exahusted alongside Grim.

Malik seems to be pretty used to the climate, specially to the humid part because of the river.

Cater asks if it’s also Malik’s hometown, but he replies that even if he lives in the Land of the Hot Sands as Malik and Jamil, he is actually from a part of the country located past the big desert. It’s a much more tropical area, with a lot of green vegetation and big jungle trees, they also have some ancient ruins, and is where a big part of the vegetables of the country originate. Malik’s family seems to reside on a city a bit isolated from other parts because of the desert, but seems to be connected nowadays with the rest.

Ermine is from a very humble family, like Trey, and he seems to get very anxious when he observes every fancy and wealthy thing from Kalim’s family. He was actually happy of this trip because it sounded as some nice vacations, but now he is wondering if he is actually worthy of this.

He spends most part of the trip talking with Cater and Trey. They seem to be in better terms than Ermine’s first year. They mention that Ermine is pretty cute when he is being himself and not running to everywhere.

Malik finds funny that Jamil is kinda scared of Malleus as well. He spends most part of the trip remarking the times he seems to panic because of this, to Jamil’s demise. He tends to laugh about Jamil’s embarrassing moments, and they banter a lot, but this seems to be normal for Kalim.

Malik seems to react kinda bad and be petty when Jamil and Kalim mention that Kalim’s father remodeled and build the Scarabia dorm once Kalim joined NRC to make it look like their home. He expresses discomfort about this and says it was just fine the way it was before, to be brushed off by Cater and Trey.

He also seems to not like Kalim’s family and their influential jobs on the country or how they are respected. Malik doesn’t mention much, but it seems something to do with political matters and land problems.

Jamil seems to be aware of this, Kalim kind of understand too, and they treat it as something to be expected.

But Malik also adds that this is his personal opinion, to clear any confusion, and actually his family is always a guest in the festival and respect the Asmis a lot, since they are kind of important from the part of the country where he lives, so he is gonna act as a polite guest as well. Cater asks him if he is royalty or part of a family of celebrities, but Malik negates this.

Malik mentions it’s not the first time he wear that traditional outfit, but it’s much more fancy because of the festival.

Malik also teases Jamil when his sister appears, and kind of laughs when she asks about them being friends. They go to the same dorm, but of course they are not.

Ermine is interested into buy some souvenirs for Ace and Deuce since they specifically asked him about it, which Grim mentions how lucky he was for being invited. But Ermine also looks for some nice fabric piece for his big sister and ask Najma’s (Jamil’s sister) help for this.
