#She and Ja'far are THE couple

[wtfastaroth]

Im in love with Priya from this magi fic

I NEED TO MAKE ARTWORKS OF HER AND JA'FAR TOGETHER FOR MY MENTAL HEALTH

[babymagi]

My friend who hasn't seen/read Magi and all she knows about it is from what I tell her honestly has some of the most hilarious takes on the characters and show I've ever heard here's some highlights

About Ja'far "He's so.... green. I was not expecting him to be that green."

Used to mix up Alibaba and Judar, all she knew for a while was that they were my favorites and I shipped them

Constantly makes fun of Sindria, whenever we watch movies and there's a snobby character she's always like "Oh you must be from Sindria" in the most distasteful voice ever

^ Memes on Sindria ALL THE TIME now

Refers to the countries as "Not-(real place they're adjacent to)" like "Not-Eygpt" and "Not-Saudi Arabia" and "Not-Hogwarts", she just calls sindria by name though

Mixed up Kouha and Morgiana a couple times because "well they're both pink"

Makes fun of me (affectionate) for crying when Magi was taken off Netflix but also BRUTALLY roasts on Netflix for removing it

"Sinbad would have discord nitro, and discord kittens"

Hakuryuu -> Wannabe Zuko

Thought Alibaba would be one of the most thirsted-after characters after Sinbad and before Hakuryuu

*I'm not sure if I'm sorry for the sudden jump to comedy. I think we could all use a break before getting back into it *CW1- self harm ideation *CW2- more romantic trauma explained ~POV Sharrkan~ When Sinbad had left those lovely ladies alone, Sharrkan took up the post. He ended up drinking himself stupid trying to impress them and now his head was throbbing. He fell asleep with his head in his arms on the table. It was the sounds of voices that woke him up.

King Sinbad's voice ended up being the last straw forcing Sharrkan awake. He was using a tone Shar had never heard from him before. "And after finally leaving him, she promised herself she would never be with anyone again." What the hell was he talking about? Sindria's best swordsman slowly rolled his head up. It was probably for the best that he woke up since he still had to head back to the Palace. Sinbad was carrying Mori for some reason. "She told me when I tried to tell her I..." Sinbad didn't finish his sentence. After a moment he scoffed at himself.

Ja'far beat everyone to asking for clarification. "Hold a second Sin... Did you accept you have feelings for Mori because of what happened earlier?" The King nodded. "And they rejected you again?"

Sinbad hesitated before nodding again.

That fully woke Shar up. 'Nononono!!' That would mean he was the biggest loser of the bet. "There's no way!" Sharrkan was standing before he was aware of what he was doing, and he wasn't one to back down. "Do you know who our King is???" Why had Shar spent most of his life emulating and practicing how Sinbad flirts with women if his methods would fail the one time it really matters????

All heads turned to Sharrkan and he had the distinctive feeling that he shouldn't have said that.

Mori's mumbles cut through the silence following his question. "Why (are) you yelling?" Their voice was much clearer with the next question. "Who did what now?"

The King, Ja'far, Drakon, and Sahel froze. Shar was already in trouble so it didn't matter if he got into a little more. "You rejected King Sinbad!" All the eye daggers pointed at him weren't a good sign, but he didn't care. If Sinbad was actually in love with Mori, and they rejected him, then was that why Yam seemed to hate Sharrkan more every day?? Was being a womanizer bad actually???

Mori's answer only made things worse. "Yeah. Which time? I've been rejecting him since Balbadd." They tapped Sinbad's chest a few times. "Put me down, please." As soon as he complied, Mori's legs buckled under them. "Ah!" They wrapped both of their arms around the King to keep from falling, and he caught them at the same time. Sin's expression only supported the others' bets more. Mori apologized to their source of support. "Sorry. That was a bad idea. My hips still feel like they want to fall off."

Mori's hips hurt..? All of the Generals and Sahel looked between Mori and their King who was helping her to the nearest seat. The way Sinbad kept an arm around her and sat with her made everyone want to tell the couple to get a room... but they might have already gotten one from the sounds of it. Shar had to know for sure. "Hold on, did you not reject him this time?" Do Sinbad's techniques work or not?

Mori took the longest to figure out what he had just asked, and their face turned bright red when they did. "IT'S NOT LIKE THAT! WE DIDN'T- DID PISTI NOT TELL YOU GUYS THAT I WAS DANCING???" Their voice cracked a bunch. After a sharp inhale, they rambled an explanation of hurting themself while dancing.

"Oh." Came from everyone except Sinbad.

Ja'far recovered from the whiplash faster than the rest. "I'll go have a cot setup for you, and I'm sure at least one of the medical magicians hasn't gone to bed yet."

Mori looked away from everyone. "I want to get back to my room as soon as possible."

Ja'far left to see what was available at the medical tent.

While they waited, Shar walked over to Drakon and Sahel. He spoke quietly enough to keep things in their circle. "So... Why is he so upset if they've been rejecting him the whole time?" When hadn't Yam rejected Sharrkan? You didn't see him cry to the others about it! ((Yeah, only to Masrur))

Drakon sighed and shared a look with his wife. This only made Shar more curious, but it was obvious he wasn't supposed to ask again right now. He just crossed his arms and turned to watch his King. --- ~POV Sinbad~ When Sinbad helped Mori to the bench, he kept an arm around them to stabilize them, but also so he could keep touching them a little longer. Mori kept their arms around him for support while walking, and even after sitting down they didn't fully let go, so neither did he. When Ja'far made his suggestions, Sinbad could feel Mori's back tensing even though it didn't show on their face or in their voice. He would have to ask about it when he had a chance.

Barely a minute after Ja'far went to get a medic, Mori spoke quietly. "I'm sorry... for burdening you."

Sin responded just as quietly. "You have nothing to apologize for."

"But I made you carry me all the way here."

"I wanted to carry you, and I'd gladly do it again."

Mori tightened their grip on his clothes. "But I snapped and trauma dumped on you without your permission." He hadn't heard that phrase before, but he understood from context.

He sighed. Was this guilt an aftereffect of their outburst? "Mori. You know parts of my past I've never told anyone. You accepted me and chose to help me anyway. I can't do the same for you if you never tell me anything."

Sinbad couldn't see their face past their bangs with their head down, but he could feel and see them trembling again. They covered their face with one hand as they nodded to respond. He lightly squeezed them against himself with the arm he had around them. That was all the encouragement Mori needed to lean their head against him. Tension slowly released from his shoulders. However upset Mori was with him, they were still willing to find comfort in him. Earlier they had even agreed in wanting him to become someone they could trust. Mori still liked him. Sinbad hadn't lost yet.

Ja'far returned with a very tired medical magician and painkillers. The healing magic would promote faster healing, and the medicine would lessen the immediate pain over the next few hours. After the magician left, Ja'far repeated his offer from earlier. "Are you sure you don't want to rest here?" It was worth a shot.

Instead of answering Ja'far, Mori looked up at Sinbad with an expression that made his heart race. It was one part longing, one part desperation, one part hopeful, and 100% adorable. "Did you mean what you said before?" They were quiet so the others couldn't hear, but that wasn't why Sinbad was caught off guard. Fate was on his side in a way he couldn't have anticipated. When he didn't answer right away Mori clarified, "...That you'd carry me again?" They looked at the steps leading up to the Palace. "I won't be in any condition to climb those stairs on my own for a while, and I really want to go home, so..."

'Yes! Absolutely!' Mori called his Palace 'home!' Sinbad had to calm himself and get his expression under control while she wasn't looking. There were multiple options to get her to her room asap, and she still chose him. He didn't know why Mori wanted to be in his arms again after what happened and he was not going to jinx it by looking overly enthusiastic. He kept his expression and tone as nonchalant and gentle as possible, "Of course. I never make a promise I can't keep."

--- ~POV Ja'far~ The General wasn't sure what Mori said to Sin, but the expression on the King's face said it was a good thing. And then that King scooped her up into his arms again and stood in one smooth motion. Mori had an arm around him for support this time.

"Hold on, Sin!" Ja'far took a few steps forward and repeated his question from earlier. "You're not still thinking of carrying Mori up to the Palace, are you?" Sin looked at the stairs, but didn't say anything, so Ja'far turned his attention to the Prophet. "Mori, I know you're injured but isn't this a bit excessive?? You were worried about the rumors too, weren't you?" This was going to make so many headaches for him later -especially with how Sin reacted to the rumors- Wait! That wasn't a problem anymore!!! But there were still reasons Sinbad shouldn't carry anyone up several flights of stairs.

Mori stared at Ja'far for a moment, and then let their head loll against Sinbad's. "He said it's okay."

'Damnit! There's 2 of them.'

Sinbad's smile was distinctively bigger as he looked at the person in his arms. "It is a long way up on foot." Nonono! Ja'far knew that expression. Sinbad was going summon a Dji- "Spirit of Dominance and Submission..." The silver bangle on the dungeon capturer's right wrist glowed as he spoke the incantation, and summoned "Focalor" 's Fullbody Djinn Equip.

Mori was just as surprised as the rest of them, but she was absolutely not of the same mind. "You're a genius."

'Damnit! There's 2 of them!'

Their overconfident King laughed until Mori talked over him. "This is easily one of your most comfortable Djinn Equips."

"Huh?"

Mori continued proudly. "It's really uncomfortable to have your metal vessels pressed into me for an extended time. And most of your Djinn Equips are just as covered in metal. But Focalor," they pulled at the gold rings on Sin's chest, "has thin jewelry that doesn't cover as much. 2 birds, 1 stone." ((Heeheehee "bird"))

"Ah. I didn't realize," was Sinbad's first response. "I'll remember that for next time," was the second. And there was no way something like this wasn't going to happen again when they were both idiots that wanted the same thing!

The idiot couple flew off to the Palace before the group could say anything. They were definitely going to have to ask Sinbad for more details in the future because they were absolutely missing something.

--- ~POV Sinbad~ The guards were understandably shocked to see their King descending into the court yard in a Djinn Equip. Sinbad dropped the Equip as soon as he landed to not worry everyone, even if it would be a bit uncomfortable for the person in his arms. As he started walking towards the guest tower, he also started looking for reasons to stall. "You know, Mori, you really surprised me when you asked me to carry you again."

She made a sound of recognition, but didn't say anything. He could see Mori watching his face with his peripheral vision. Sin walked halfway across the court yard in silence. If she didn't want to say anything, he wouldn't push- "It was the safest and fastest way I could think of."

"'Safest?'"

The waves swirled around them like before. Her voice was a sober melancholy. "I'm still not in a good head space, so my brain is expecting specific types of violence even though I know better."

Sinbad stopped walking and looked Mori in the eyes. "Do you think I'm going to hurt you?" He may have hurt her heart on accident earlier, but there was no way she thought he'd hurt her physically, right?

It was dark, but he could make out their expression. It was as melancholic as their voice. "You go out of your way to avoid using violence as much as possible so I felt safe asking you." That was a relief.

It didn't leave many options though. "Then, was it my Generals?"

Mori looked away and he knew he was on the right track. She sighed and continued in the same monotone. "Ja'far is someone that does not hesitate to use violence when he thinks someone is a threat to you." Sinbad had hoped that the friction between the two was a thing of the past. Mori continued, "He threatened Cassim in Balbadd for projecting his experience with nobility onto you. Ja'far might have killed him if you hadn't stopped him." That wasn't long before Mori entered the world. Somehow it still surprised him when he learned more of her visions. "I know things you have done and will do that Ja'far would never believe of you. He has plenty of reasons to hurt me if I say them even if he wouldn't threaten me into it."

Sin could understand where that fear came from. Ja'far becomes aggressive and violent if someone is even just defaming King Sinbad. If Sinbad isn't there to confirm Mori's visions about his secrets, the General would never believe them. "Ja'far will never force you to talk about your visions." Sinbad would make sure of it. "You never have to talk about them with him when I'm not around either."

((CW1)) Mori shook her head. "When I'm like this, 'punishment' feels inescapable. I'd rather provoke the person and get the punishment out of the way because the fear of what and when it will happen is much stronger than any pain will be when it's over. And if I can control when it happens, I can influence how bad it will be." That made his breath catch. Just what had Mori gone through to think like that? "It's why I..." Mori hesitated, "ended up telling him about you dying in five years. But nothing happened. Instead, he said he'd never pressure me again, but the fear is still there." Her hands had gone colder than normal. "I know this isn't how I should be, so I normally look for any option that will removed the risk of me doing that." The matter-of-fact way she was talking made what she was saying more unnerving.

Sinbad confirmed, "In this case, asking me to carry you back was that option?" She nodded and her grip on his shoulder tightened. As happy as it made him to know she thought of him when she was in need, it wasn't a good sign that she felt that way about one of his Generals. "Mori, no one in Sindria will ever be able to hurt you. I will protect you. I promise." He already had ideas on how to fix this, but now wasn't the time.

Her eyes softened and a chuckle escaped her. "I knew you'd say something like that." Mori looked him in the eyes again; a smile was pushing past their melancholy. "I know you make promises to people you want on your side, and I've seen in my visions how you show kindness to anyone in front of you that needs it. You even feel empathy for your enemies." They knew he was on their side and that he would help them if they asked. "Even before I met you I was drawn to that kindness you give to everyone equally."

The waves were rising again with his relief. Sinbad didn't bother to control his expression. This smile was an earnest one. "How does it feel to be on the receiving end?" He was more than willing to show them this side of him any time they needed.

Mori turned away and clenched her eyes shut. Even with just the moon light he could see their face getting a little red. "It's making me greedy!"

'Greedy?' Earlier that night Mori called herself greedy when she said she wanted him all to herself. His kindness made her greedy for him? Even after what he did earlier? Maybe the apology had worked after all. "I think you could use to be more greedy." This was a much better mood than the previous one.

Mori whipped her face back towards him. "Says the man so greedy that the Djinn had to cut him off!" As grumpy as she looked, she wasn't actually upset with him. He was proven correct when she added, "Why don't you give me some of your greed if you think I'm lacking so much?"

Sinbad laughed. This was perfect. "If I give you my greed, what will you give me in return?"

"Ugh~"

He laughed again.

After a moment of watching him, Mori took the bait. "What would you even want in return anyway?" She was definitely feeling better if she was playing along with this. This could also be a sign that she was willing to continue flirting with him.

"I want your name." He wanted it attached to his own in a way that would tell everyone they were his alone. Mori would get upset if he said what he wanted directly, so this was the best he could do for now. It wasn't like he could actually give her his greed, so why not request something she couldn't give either?

"Oh." Mori was understandably confused; he already knew their nam- "It's Morgan. I never liked how the 'g' sounds in it, so I prefer to be called by my nickname." They continued in a half grumble, "And most characters named 'Morgan' in the stories back home are antagonists and I didn't want to be seen as a bad person."

Somewhere along the way he forgot that 'Mori' was just a nickname. "Oh." And now he was the only person in this world that knew more than just that nickname.

Mori hummed at his expression and then smirked. "Did you forget I only told you my nickname before?"

"It seems I did." Sinbad had a feeling it would be hard to win against his Beautiful Prophet now that he knew what this feeling was.

The mischievous smile she was showing made him want to give her the world. "In that case, what should I ask for as compensation?" Mori was already putting that boost of greed to good use. "Oh! I know. Since you can't tell the difference between a name and a nickname, let me call you by yours without your title." Her face got more red and her voice more unsure as she said it.

Now that he thought about it, he couldn't remember Mori ever calling him without a title. She'd said his name plainly a few times when talking about him, but never to him. "Of course." It wasn't something he thought needed explicit permission; he was learning just how much Mori requires that to take action.

"Thank you, Sin." Mori had to immediately look away after saying it.

This must be what people mean when they say love turns people into fools. Sin needed to bring Mori to their room before he did something that would definitely make them angry again. Besides, he had to talk to Ja'far asap about Mori's fears of him if they were going to get past this.

--- ~POV Mori~ I was finally alone. My head was swimming from everything that happened as well as the waves. Fate had changed in a major way. Last time was because Sinbad chose a new path. I had a feeling I knew what happened this time, but I was not emotionally capable of accepting that yet.

I really had a PTSD attack, passed out, and when I woke up immediately went into attach and fawn towards the very person that had triggered me. When I told Sin that I was scared of what I might do around Ja'far I wasn't lying, but I also couldn't bring myself to admit to fawning over and attaching to Sin for safety as another repeat stress response.

Damnit. This didn't make any sense. After I broke up with my ex fiancé I had issues because of what happened but I didn't get PTSD from it. This level of reaction seemed to be from something else and only colored by the fear of projecting my ex fiancé on to a partner as I tried to rationalize it.

I got changed and looked out my windows in time to watch Sinbad cross the court yard to the Purple Leo Tower. Watching him only made the ghost of his touch more prominent. Wanting to be held by the person I like shouldn't be confusing. I was the one who asked to be returned to my room so I could be alone and safe enough to think; and yet it was a struggle not to cling to him harder.

((CW2 until end)) I definitely liked Sinbad. The last time I was able to bounce back after being triggered by thinking someone had romantic interest in me was when it was someone I was already crushing on. When I finally recognized that I kept having a PTSD response, and realized that we wouldn't be compatible long term (I can't do long distance), I ended up ghosting the person because I couldn't handle my own feelings and didn't want to hurt him by projecting my ex onto him. The thing that had protected me all this time was knowing that in the canon, Sinbad never falls in love or gets married. As soon as I realized that could change I panicked.

My blood ran cold. That memory of the last time this happened was from 2022. How could I have memories of home from after I entered this world in 2020? I did periodically gain knowledge that I didn't already have. My heart hurt all over again.

The memories of what caused this new trigger finally flooded my mind. Around the start of 2021 I was assaulted by someone I thought was my friend when he finally accepted that I wasn't going to take back my rejection no matter how much time I spent with him. He had a complete breakdown while he pinned me down and admitted to manipulating my family to have access to me. By the end of that year another person I thought was a friend also had a breakdown after spending months refusing to accept that the 'no' I gave her was real. Then in 2022 I realized that someone confessing to me had became a full trigger when I had PTSD attacks to two more people even though they were able to accept 'no.' It had became a compound trauma. ((This is why I went on longer breaks a few times btw))

Time kept moving for the writer/god of this world. They were still experiencing painful things and affecting me along with them. This sucks.

Sinbad's form disappeared into his tower. I felt sick to my stomach. My attraction wasn't going anywhere, and now it looked like he might actually like me back. I have an obligation to stay in Sindria; I can't run away this time. My heart was a broken vase that could no longer hold onto the feelings being poured into it. Any time the vase started to be repaired, I broke it again myself before anyone else could beat me to it just like I did earlier. I'm not one to repeat the same mistake many times once I know where it's coming from. But was Sinbad worth it? He said he wanted to choose a new path. Depending on where this new path went, he would be. And even if he wasn't worth it, I am worthy of healing for myself.

((Hi everyone. The thing about processing trauma is that it can take a long time. Writing this is definitely helping me, but it also means that the posing rate is based on my recovery. I thought I had this chapter done and just needed to do the art when I finished the previous chapter, but in working on the art for it, and working on writing the next arc I realized it was missing something: Mori's/my perspective which is the side where I actually process things. I have many chapters worth of content written for the next arc but there was something wrong with it, and I realized I was avoiding writing my perspective more often and when I did write it I was just filling my time with so much that I didn't have to think about the hard stuff -it's a bad habit that I know I have and am working on.

Even after figuring out what was missing and writing the last scene, I struggled with drawing the harder parts of the chapter. I talked to Lyly about it, and they made me feel better about not having more art throughout.

Anyway, I have no idea how long it will take me to get the next arc done enough that I can start posting. Processing stuff is hard but important and necessary for growth. In the meantime I will be responding to Simpbad Collection Asks, and posting more stuff there including a scene that I couldn't manage to fit before the Sindria Arc, and concept & outfit art. I'll also be going back and rereading what I've posted so far, and fixing any more spelling and grammar mistakes I find. It's been a while since I last did that.

Thank you all for being so patient with me. ))

So I'm going to talk about One thousand and one nights from Twisted. I haven't been able to get it out of my head since I first watched it, I think it's got to me more than any Disney couples duet and so here's why I think that is.

The "I want to know your story" line is what I think I like the most because when I care for someone I do want to know everything about them and that idea of both people sharing their stories and both of their stories being just as valuable because the other cares enough to listen. The idea of being vulnerable with another person but also them wanting to know all the little things as well ("linger over every part").

And then "I want to know your future too", how special is it, that someone cares for you enough that they see a future with you and that they want to know all your dreams and be with you while you achieve them.

"he is at once familiar and unknowable" and then "she is at once a comfort and a mystery". They see similar values in each other and also they want to know more. I think the way it differs perhaps from other duets is that it isn't like the finale of their love story, it's just the beginning, they know they hardly know each other yet, but the fact that they want to is enough.

"I never cared for stories until you entered mine". I also love this line because it shows Ja'far's perspective being changed slightly and how they're already learning new things from each other.

As someone who finds a lot of joy in learning about things and people I think this song really captured something I value really highly in relationships and it's so beautifully done. I also think it suits their other interests as well, obviously the stories are related to shaharezade (I need to learn how to spell this I know) but we know Ja'far has an interest in science which I think also lends itself to the love of learning I see reflected in the song.

Also I just realized at the beginning he's reading and that's probably related to shaharezade because she influenced him to care for stories! In case you couldn't tell I've become very invested in these 2 despite only watching the musical for the first time on Friday.

Also, I must add that Disney duets wise, I do love at last I see the light and I can see this as a rapunzel and flynn type song too actually but maybe that's a topic for another post

Hello, my lovies!

Now, last August, thanks to a Studio C sketch of all things, I became OBSESSED with Ghostbusters, and Egon Spengler, especially. Like many, I pretty much fell in love with him. And then, I watched Ghostbusters: Afterlife (which I really wish I had the chance to see in theaters when it was released), in which we learned that at some point prior to the series, Egon had a daughter named Callie. And my fangirl brain became curious...

If Callie was born three or two years before the events of the first Ghostbusters, who was Callie's mother? Why wasn't she around? And there were so many other questions that I wanted to ask, but I could only answer for myself. So... Cathleen Paige Spengler was born.

I've rambled about her a lot on my Tumblr, and I've concocted an AU in which she is around for the events of Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II, which I will be writing as soon as possible because I really want to explore her dynamic, not just with Egon, but with other characters.

The title of the fic comes from the song, "A Thousand And One Nights" from the musical Twisted: An Untold Story of a Royal Vizier because I listened to the album again around the time that I began to get into Ghostbusters, and that entire soundtrack's interpretation of Ja'far just seemed to emulate Afterlife!Era Egon so much.

Muses that like/celebrate Valentine's day

Paimon - This is Her Day. She's the patron of maniacal love. like an entire day dedicated to loving your partner, sign her up. She'd go all out with the outfit and the makeup and the nails. its one of the best times to buy home decor.

Botan - she's a sucker for anything cute, thinks it's all very sweet. not to mention her sweet tooth. (christmas is apparently her favorite tho)

Beelzebub - Any holiday that has some kind of food aspect is The Best. And as much as he loves eating all the sweets (the brothers all get plenty of gifts and Beel takes whatever they dont like lbr), he really likes hand making chocolates for his brothers

Honorable mentions

Kaoru - He gets a lot of gifts, esp from his fanclub at S, though he's prudent about what he accepts. He'll seem pretty neutral about the whole thing but secretly likes to be spoiled. Mostly he'll just say it's a profitable holiday with couples commissioning artwork from him

707 - Isn't really interested, he just wants all the candy, might make a comment about the 'true origins of the holiday' or how it's just 'the candy industry tricking u'. Zen (and mb even Jumin and V) probably get a lot of candy and 7 will gladly take it off their hands.

Ja'far - is stressed. he has to field all the gifts meant for Sinbad and make sure things don't get out of control. He gets a fair amount of secret gifts himself bc of his admirers (though he doesn't understand it at all)

Yae Miko - Show your devotion, it fuels her ego. Plus free snacks.

Shin-Ah - doesn't understand what's happening but he also likes free snacks. tho if you made him chocolates, he'd be torn between keeping the gift bc its special to him and eating it immediately. Also he and Ao are stealing everything the others don't eat.

Hi! I'm not super invested in ships (I'm more of a CanonxOC girl and anything outside that is typically outside my realm of interest.) There are a few that stand out to me:

❎️ AliMor - My main issue here is how Alibaba didn't seem to think about Morgiana as more than a friend until he found out she likes him. Applying real life logic to their dynamic, it feels like he settled, and Morgiana deserves better. Plus, I seem to remember him always wanting a more traditional girl, and Morgiana often pictures herself as being strong and doing things like protecting him. (It's been a while so my memory could be off). She seems to have become more domestic once she started dating him, but without insight into her feelings about this shift in her personality, I have to wonder if she'll have any regrets years down the road. I'm probably projecting quite a bit with that though. (Again, my memory could be off.)

❎️ Sinja - I think this is a case of the ship being so popular that I was just kind of turned off by it. Additionally, when people ship snb era Sinja romantically, it's a squick. I could see kid Ja'far having a crush on teen Sinbad, but not the other way around. Please, not the other way around, lol. While the adult versions are a comedic and dynamic duo, I don't necessarily find a romance between them to be appealing. I'm happy so many other people enjoy the ship.

✅️ SinDra - these two have some pretty intimate moments in SNB. I feel like Drakon is probably Sinbad's closest confidant, even if he's not always by his side the way Ja'far is. I just think it's beautiful.

✅️ SinEn - I've seen a couple of pretty decent fics on how these two have an interesting dynamic. Two super powerful guys with opposing views. In public, they hate each other. Behind closed doors? They smash lol

I could probably list more, but these are the ones that occupy most of my thoughts!

TOO ALL MAGI FANS... which ships do you hate And love?

[devilrosola]

Also characters, Sharrkan pls ( because he is too adorable to not to involve him ) 😉

hooo boy...yeh...

SinEn

002 | send me a ship and I will tell you:

when of if I started shipping it. Probably when we RPed? No, it was probably thanks to that one doujin. 

my thoughts: They can be equal. {Granted Sin has 7 djinn while Kouen has 3, but no one else has had more than these two, so it's as close as canon lets us get. And Sin is a King while Kouen is a Prince, but still seen as king by his people} Point is, Sinbad was this great indomitable perfect mary sue character and then comes along someone that could stand his ground against him. If they ever got over their differences and work towards the same goals together like World Peace, they could be a real power couple.

What makes me happy about them: Fighting over Ja'far ahem I mean, witty banters as they try to be diplomatic. I like how in that one doujin they were in both positions at different times

What makes me sad about them: They don’t get along

things done in fanfic that annoys me: There's fanfics about them? Other than mine I guess where one completely domineers over the other.

things I look for in fanfic: Equality

My kinks: Djinn equips? Now Zepar & Agares equips together would just be cute and innocent but think about Valefor & Asaroth fire and ice dynamics here! And I'm sure Kouen is breathtaking in Phenex equip

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:  For Sinbad-- myself, um how much can I diverge from the canon for this answer since he expressly said he had no intention of being tied down? Well...give him a big slice of humble pie and then we can talk. (and really, there’s most sin ships I’m be okay with) How about Yunan so he can whap Sin with his fishing-pole-wand whenever Sin does something stupid? For Kouen-- Ja’far, Muu, Yamuraiha, OCs, again I’m generally open Once saw a fic with him and Spartos, and another with him and either Spartos or Mystras. I can’t quite remember and I can’t find the fic.

My happily ever after for them: I haven’t gotten that far... >.>;;;

Sharrkan

003 | Give me a character & I will tell you

How I feel about this character:  Sorry, Imma be honest with you. I hate him. If he wasn't so full of himself that'd be a different story. Little shy SnB Sharr before taking Masrur's advice would have been more bearable. Sure I found him hot when I first saw him, but he lost me as soon as he showed his ego.

All the people I ship romantically with this character:  No one XD Although his love-at-first-site crush with Yam was cute back when they were little

My non-romantic OTP for this character:  Haven’t thought about it. He’s not exactly close with his brother. I guess him and Pisti making trouble together? *Ja’far yeets them out the window*

My unpopular opinion about this character:  I’ll take his brother over him.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Wish he didn’t misinterpret Masrur’s advice of being like Sin (give her compliments vs womanize and drink) I know I know Magi came first and that was made later to explain his current personality. I wish he’d realize that insulting Yam is NOT the way to win her heart.

my het ship: Sharrkan with an OC’s sister (but then she breaks his heart bc she doesn’t want to commit--good news for Yam though?)

my fem/slash ship: ig Masrur/Sharrkan is a popular one? You want me to say SharrHa though don’t ya? 😏

my OTP: I suppose mini SharrYam in an AU where he’s gets over his awkwardness?

my OT3: Oh hmmmmm....now we’re talking... (other than that Sin/Mas/Sharr doujin nothing is coming to mind though)

my cross over ship: Haven’t thought about it

my kink: Have him tied up?

a head cannon fact: Belly buttons still bother him? Even with how rampant they’re shown off in Sindria.

my gender bend: Now the confidence would look good on her

[myspecialinterest]

magi characters on the beach hcs!

modern au! cuz i think going w them all would be super fun and a mess

aladdin this dude is so so excited to be here w all the people he cares about !! probably brings games to play and also loves playing in the sand w anyone. prefers going at sunset time. if pisti came along they're usually together and making puppy eyes to kouha so they can borrow more of his sand toys

i think water is a bit overwhelming for morgiana so she probably would stay w masrur whenever he's at the beach and if he goes in the water aladdin, baba and hakuryuu rotate so she isn't alone! likes playing beach volleyball and watching yamuraiha surf

im going to say alibaba is a bad swimmer just cuz i think that'd be funny as hell, he just gets his feet in because he gets scared. hakuryuu, ja'far and sharrkan have offered to teach him but his pride makes him stubborn. he hangs around yamuraiha because she protects him from everyone's pranks and doesn't tease him about it

hakuryuu we get it you know how to swim since you were two /lh loves the idea of teaching baba how to swim, always has at least two drink by his side cuz he gets very thirsty and offers to pay for all the food

kougyoku probably brings like three umbrellas and she invites alibaba over cuz she gets really hot easily but doesn’t want to stay alone,, omg such cute swimsuits:(she color codes everything from her sandals to hat and fights w judal about wanting to choose the music

of bloody course sinbad is the one who drags the generals to the beach "so what if we went last week! come on, im paying for everything" sin, my beloved, people have jobs and things to do other than enjoy getting tanned... he also loves just going by himself to read some books or scape from ja'far.

ja'far actually loves going from time to time cuz sinbad does most of the planning himself and for once he gets to lay down and rest.

sharrkan surfs!! he has done it since he was a kid, loves just floating in the sea, is probably friends w a lot of the safeguards cuz he's always around. is the one who usually gets to pick the place they go to. absolutely loves spending hours w yamu and masrur picking the weirdest swimsuit and if u buy him stickers for his board he won't stop jumping around until he puts it on. his board has a name probably something like diana and will correct u everytime if u say it like "diane" and says she's his only girl smh we get it you like men.

yamuraiha also surfs!! sharrkan gets jelous of all the attention she gets because she always gets at least a couple of girls numbers and he can't even get spartos to come to the beach w him. she reminds everyone to put on sunscreen but forgets herself. both her and sharrkan have a little rainbow flag on their boards and yamu has the lesbian one sharrkan got her

flash round judal my dear, please put some sunscreen on. no, no i don't care ur skin is already brown u need sunscreen u will burn yourself... hina lets his kids bury him in the sand drakon loves making big holes in the sand for no reason koumei has sensitive skin so he doesn't get out of his ubrella a lot therefore debarely goes to the beach kassim would definitely tease alibaba about not knowing how to swim only to hide he is scared of the ocean and lastly kouha has all of the beach toys and extravagant swimsuits u can dream of

❰❰ SAVE ❱❱ sender saves receiver’s life(Kagome unleashing a powerful spiritual arrow probably charged with light magic and Magoi cause we know Kagome's power grows when her loved ones are in danger. Since well being a magi she's probably best at Life Magic aka Plant Magic and Light Magic that she channels through her arrows. xD Either way Sin's about to see that pissing Kagome off in any circumstance is a bad idea LMFAO)

“Gruhh” The beast had spoke as he knocks Sinbad towards the side, his body flew backwards and crashes against rocky wall, the monster that struck him resembled a beast. Stood at ten feet tall, a canine's maw and also possessed razor-like claws. But luckily Sinbad was stricken with the brunt of the beasts fists. This was all because of Sinbad's own cocky nature, the beast had gotten a fast one on him, Hinahoho and Ja'far were the next in line to feel its wrath.

“Conqueror of thunder – I beseech-” The sentence was cut short as the beast charges forward and traps Sinbad within his grasp, slowly beginning to press against his form, breaking bones and tearing muscles. Sinbad's screams were agonizing as they echoes through the area. “S-sin.” Spoke Ja'far weakly as the sight of his own blood slightly blinds his vision from the wound received at the top of his head.

All had seemed rather grim for the young man as his screams continues to echo. His mind played memories of his time within Tison Village. The memories of him as a boy sneaking into his father's boat and insist he was old enough to go fishing, then coming back to his mother that would prepare the meal. He would talk and talk and they would listen. Whilst he could hardly recall their faces because of the pain he does remember them smiling whenever his little mouth would go on and on about their day, turning something that only lasted for a few hours into a journey that seemed to have went on for weeks.

However, hope came in the form of a blinding light. A an arrow engulfed with the magoi by a magi, and not just any Magi, it was Kagome herself. Over the past few months she's sure grown into her own person and quite the formidable fighter under Rurumu's tutelage. The arrow pieces its chest enough to cause it to roar in pain dropping Sinbad. What followed next were a couple more arrows that pierced its heart and then its skull, ridding them of this grand beast.

Sinbad x OC

Soulmate AU

Part 5

Solomon´s gift

---Temple of Dalmasca, Sanctum of Solomon’s writings---

"He is such an idiot! Did he really have to run into that time-window-thing without thinking about it? Did he ultimately lost his damn mind?", Ja'far fumed, gripping his white hair in panic. He ran angrily up and down the podium, while Yamraiha watched the glowing veil with interest, trying to analyze how it works. Masrur, however, sat on one of the steps, after lighting up the four torches surrounding the platform, while he decided to silently watch his two companions.

"I mean, he can't really be damn serious! Besides, can you actually believe what the Djinn had said? He can't exist twice at the same time. What the hell does that even mean?", the young advisor continued to whine, throwing his arms up in the air.

"What if his younger self is going to vanish? Or his present self? What if Sindria is going to vanish? This damn idiot puts us all at risk. And all of this for a damn girl.", Ja'far went on furiously, already getting a very red face, because he forgot to breath properly in his anger. "You use the word "damn" quite often right now, Ja'far", Yamraiha mumbled absently, while she was trying to touch the shining veil, unfortunately without success. "Hmm, something is stopping us from going in as well. Very interesting.", analyzed the magician, before she decided to walk around the phenomen to inspect it from all angles.

At that moment the veil flickered again before finally their purple haired companion stepped out with deliberate steps. When Ja'far noticed him, he turned angrily to Sinbad, deciding to strangle him for his recklessness. But before he could take action the adviser saw the girl in the arms of his king and stopped abruptly in his tracks.

The generals gasped in surprise at the sight of the couple. A huge amount of rukh fluttered around them as the veil and the flowing lights began to disappear behind them. The glow of the bangle that rested on the girl's wrist went out after a few seconds. The young woman sighed exhausted, but made no move to shift otherwise. Her arms were wrapped tightly around Sinbad's shoulders, while her face was pressed against the bend of his neck. The king's gaze wandered from Salome to his generals as a triumphant grin spread across his lips.

"I'm back! Did you miss me?", announced the king humorously, while he tried to adjust Salome in his arms. His companions raised their eyebrows in disbelief, while waiting for Sinbad to stop joking around, still shocked to find the girl from the magical artifact in their kings presence.

Suddenly the girl began to move in the man's grasp and slowly raised her head. "W-Would you please be so kind to put me down?", she whispered shyly in his ear, as she loosened her arms around his shoulders.

"Ah, yes, of course.", he answered before carefully setting Salome down. However, he didn't let go of her completely, strangely not ready to do so. His hand lingered on her waist as he looked worriedly at her pale face. With a mild smile on her lips, she bashfully looked up at the purple haired man. If he were a different man, the soft expression with which the young woman gazed up at him, would have embarrased him eventually. However, Sinbad was used to the delighted looks most women gave him, so he was pleased that she was doing it too. But if he was honest to himself, he couldn't help but to stare at her in wonderment as well. She was actually here. He had truly carried her through the veil into his time.

Her dainty hand rested on his chest to stabilize her balance, as she turned uncertainly around to face the king's entourage. They all looked at her with wide eyes, hardly believing that Salome really stood in front of them. It was not difficult to guess that she had just come from a battlefield. Her clothes were torn in many places, her skin was covered with scratches and her face was pale from the magoi's deprivation. Still, she looked at the generals with clear, curious eyes.

She watched the three people quietly until Sinbad finally cleared his throat and began to introduce them to each other:"Salome, may I introduce you to three of my closest friends? These are Yamraiha, Ja'far and Masrur. Guys, this pretty lady is Salome.", Sinbad said cheerfully, trying not to show that he too was surprisingly exhausted from the withdrawal of his magoi. She gave each of the three generals a shy smile, while she unconsciously tried to smooth her dress down. Yamraiha gave her an encouraging grin as she winked at the brown-haired young woman. Masrur nodded silently, while Ja'far came up to her and offered his hand for her to shake, greeting her with a friendly smile on his lips:"Glad to meet you, Miss Salome.", spoke the white-haired young man in a kind manner. Salome looked surprised at the hand she was offered, but then beamed at Ja'far and embraced his hand warmly with hers as she replied: "Thank you very much. It's nice to meet you, too."

At the moment she had let go of Sinbad, however, her legs suddenly gave way under her, while black dots appeared briefly in front of her eyes. Before she could fall over, both Sinbad's hands tightened around her waist, while Ja'far grabbed her shoulders hastily. "Uh...I'm sorry ... I'm feeling a little dizzy.", Salome gasped, blinking, while holding onto Ja'far's forearms in hope to stabilize herself.

"It's alright. Sin, we should sit her down so she can rest a bit.", the advisor turned to his king, who nodded in agreement. Together they sank to the floor to sit down for a moment. As Yamraiha came closer to look at the younger girl, Ja'far moved away to make room for them. Sinbad, on the other hand, stayed behind Salome without separating himself from her.

"Hmm, looks like Magoi depletion ... but I'm not surprised. Time and Space magic requires a lot of Magoi, you have to have really high reserves, after all, you're still awake. I have never seen such powerful magic. Where have you been, before Sinbad hd reached you?", asked Yamraiha curiously.

Salome swallowed before answering hesitantly: "Here ... But Dalmasca was under attack. The priests were getting ready to seal the temple." Sinbad stroked gently over Salome's skin of her upper arms, leaving a gentle tingling sensation.

"Wow...That... That's several years ago... That's impossible. I mean it should be impossible.", Yamraiha explained, looking at Sinbad with a worried expression. "The priests said that Alexander is an extremely powerful Djinn ... In addition, the reader of the waves is able to shape fate according to his will.", Salome tried to help clarify as she turned to Sinbad looking up at him admiringly. "I think without you I would have been lost in a time crack until I finally ran out of magoi. But you could see where we have to go. You are so strong.", whispered Salome, looking enchanted into his golden eyes, which resembled the natural color of the rukh that circled around them. Sinbad grinned triumphantly at her, satisfied with the compliments he received from the pretty girl in his arms.

"Incredible!"The magician breathed, leaning back, as she thought about the new information's. "You... you are a blessed one, aren't you?", Salome asked, looking briefly at the staff which rests next to the mage's feet, after she turned her attention back to the other woman.

"Eh? What?", Yamraiha replied, blushing.

"You can manipulate the rukh with your magoi, right? You are blessed with the power of magic. It is an honor to meet you!", Salome explained and bowed her head respectfully as the rukh joyfully flew around them. "Oh my, you're so cute. I've never been called that. Haha, I like it!", Yamraiha shouted, holding her glowing cheeks, while she decided to rub this title under Sharrkan's nose later.

Sinbad, who had listened to the conversation, spoke up:"Yam, let poor Salome take a breath before you bombard her with more questions. I think we'll take a break here before we start to leave this place."

.

.

.

After some rest, Salome had left the group for a moment, to sit a little further away, thinking about her situation. Sinbad sat next to Ja'far and Masrur to discuss how to proceed, while Yamraiha stood a few steps below and eagerly deciphered the characters on the walls.

Salome found it difficult to understand what had happened recently. Just a few hours ago she and her brother had ran away from black Djinns and enemy magicians and now she was in the sanctuary, but no longer in her time. She felt disconnected and dreaded what she would discover if she left this platform. It was a comforting feeling that the rukh tried to console her, that she did everything right, but she couldn't stop wondering if the price hadn't been too high.

"Are you alright?", came Sinbad's velvet voice behind her. Torn out of her thoughts, she turned to the man who had spoken to her and looked into his golden eyes. It was still hard to believe that he was with her. His presence felt incredibly right, and yet it was kind of strange. Surreal.

"Ah... yes. Thank you," she replied, watching him sit down next to her. They looked at each other silently for a few moments, not knowing how to start the conversation, when Salome decided to break the silence.

"Did you make it, Sinbad?", she asked curiously and let her eyes slide over Sinbad's appearance. He was a really handsome man who wore very fine clothes. When she spoke his name, a soft gleam appeared in his eyes. Sinbad cocked his head questioningly as he examined her carefully. "What are you talking about?"

"Did you actually manage to form a kingdom?", she asked, turning completely towards him. A big grin spread across Sinbad's lips as he proudly inflated his chest.

"Yes, the kingdom of Sindria! You will love it. I promise!", he answered with a proud expression on his face, before he began to discribe his kingdom enthusiasticly:"It is an island, like this one. We have nice weather all year round. The markets are filled with products from all over the world and the fish that the fishermen catch is incredibly delicious. Everyone smiles and works hard to make this country bloom.", he said excited as he reached for her hand euphorically, overlooking the sad glimmer in her eyes for a moment.

"I'll show you everything. The market place, the harbor, the beach and of course the palace", he begann to count, when he suddenly catched her sad expression:"I am sorry... Are you alright?", he asked when Salome tilted her face to the side. Immediately she sat up a little straighter again and smiled reassuringly:"My apologies, everything you have said sounds wonderful and I am glad that you want to show it to me. I... I'm just a little afraid of what awaits me out there. For me Dalmasca was attacked a few hours ago.", Salome explained carefully. Sinbad could have slapped himself immediately. Of course, she wasn't feeling well. How could he suppress that this was not necessarily a nice situation for her? She looked completely deranged and he had seen what condition Dalmasca was in. "Tell me ... is it very bad out there? I wonder how the people are.", Salome bit her lower lip nervously, as she glanced at the stairs. Sinbad squeezed her fingers gently before he ran his thumb over them. When he shifted a little closer to her, he ran his free hand over her dust-covered cheeks.

"To be honest ... I have to admit that it's not a pretty sight ... This island is in ruins ... and unfortunately I haven't met a human soul yet.", Sinbad said hesitantly, watching how her lips trembled.

"But I'm sure there are still people living on this island. When we landed at the harbor, we noticed currently used fishing boats. Whatever happens, Salome, I ... uh I mean: we are with you. You don't have to go through this alone.", he tried to cheer her up. Sinbad was surprised to feel his ears get hot when he saw a grateful glint in her pretty turquoise eyes as she put her free hand on their intervened ones.

"Thank you, Sinbad.", she murmured gently.

-

"Wow, the rukh are totally crazy about them.", Yamraiha stated with interest after she had joined Ja'far and Masrur at the top of the stairs again. The other two also glanced furtively at the couple. Masrur's expression didn't reveal his thoughts, but Ja'far looked a little worried.

"What's wrong, Ja'far?", Yamraiha asked when she noticed his expression.

"I just wonder how it will go on. Sinbad is not exactly the type of men who keeps a girl. Look at how young she is. Sooner or later he will wrap her around his finger and then what? breaking her heart?", he whispered softly so that only the two generals could hear him. The other two generals thought about what was said when Ja'far continued with his explanation: "I mean look at how she is already gazing at him. It can't go well."

"Well I don't know what you see Ja'far, but I rather have the feeling that Sinbad is staring at her like a puppy in love. Also ... ah, never mind, we should just wait and see what happens. For my part, I like her. She carried an incredibly warm atmosphere around her, if you get what I mean.", Yamraiha replied and received an approving nod from the two men.

"She is a good person.", Masrur agreed before getting up and walking towards Sinbad and Salome.

"We should go back to the ship. The sun will go down in a few hours.", he said loudly enough for everyone to hear. As if on his sign, everyone rose, before lifting the torches out of their holders.

As they descended the stairs, Salome pointed to the walls, where the golden characters were faintly visible. "This place is the sanctuary of the temple of Dalmasca. It is written that the high priest Alexander built this church with his disciples and immortalized the writings of Solomon on these walls.", Salome described, while Ja'far turned to her questioningly: "Alexander? Like your Djinn?"

The girl nodded.

"It seems so, yes. It is said that he descended from Solomons holy kingdom on behalf of the great king himself to guard the flow of the Rukh and to aid it's listener as soon as she is born into the world.", she replied, trying to get closer to the edge of the stairs, hoping to better illuminate the scriptures.

"You are the listener of the rukh, right? Alexander had called you by that name.", Sinbad said, watching the girl like a hawk. Salome paused and pouted at him:"Alexander spoke to you?" He nodded in confusion before answering:"Yes, he brought us here. Whereby I actually wonder how he could manifest himself without a magi, especially when his vessel was not even present."

"Alexander is a Djinn of the light type. During this time he may not have resided in a vessel anymore, but has returned to Solomon's stream. With light magic one is able to create illusions.", Salome conjectured and got an approving nod from Yamraiha.

"I guess it has also something to do with the amount of rukh that are residing here.", Yamraiha interjected thoughtfully. "Dalmasca has always been surrounded by many rukh. Is that abnormal?", asked Salome.

Sinbad and Yamraiha nodded in agreement before the mage spoke again. "Yeah a lot. Sindria also has a lots of rukh, but I guess that's because of Sinbad. I wonder if it's up to you that so many rukh are gathering here."

Salome shrugged as she continued down the stairs. "No idea. But there were also a lot of blessed people living here. The temple trained them to become priests.", Salome replied.

Once at the bottom, the brown-haired girl paused and took a deep breath. Her gaze slid over the skelletons that lay on the floor as her shoulders slumped. Sinbad immediately stood next to her and put a hand on her shoulder blades.

"Are you alright?", he whispered, stroking her back. Swallowing, Salome nodded, closing her eyes for a moment. "I, yes ... But they shouldn't be lying around here so neglected. It's not fair.", she muttered sadly. Sinbad looked at his generals, who looked back expectantly.

"We don't have much time left.", Masrur said. Sinbad turned to Salome apologetically, but she shook her head and spoke in a defensively manner:"I understand. Just give me a short moment, yes? I want to say goodbye."

Reluctantly, her companions nodded and moved away from her. The generals were already moving in the corridor that would lead them up into the hall. Sinbad, however, stopped at the entrance and turned to Salome, who had put her hand on her chest and bowed respectfully to the deceased priests.

With her profile turned to him, he could see that she was saying something, but he was too far away to hear what. Fascinated, Sinbad watched her head tilt to the side, as she seem to listen to something only she could hear. The light of the torch, which was in her hand, illuminated her face, as a gentle smile spread on her lips. Her face turned in his direction as she nodded confidently. When their eyes met, there was a crackle in the air that sent a shiver down both of their spines. As if by itself, Sinbad's legs moved back to her as she looked up at him expectantly. Her attention was completely back to the man who was attracting her like a magnet and she was surprised to find that her heart suddenly began to beat much faster. When he stopped in front of her, he raised his hand to run his fingers gently over her ear. Her breath caught as his golden eyes stared intently into her turquoise ones.

"What did you hear, my dear?", he asked in a velvety voice, while the gold in his eyes got a liquid sheen from the firelight. "I'm not supposed to be sad because the priests are now part of the holy stream again. They say I should follow you and keep going on.", she whispered, caught by his gaze. His fingers left her ear to slowly brush across her jaw.

"You told me in your message that you were waiting for me because you were meant to be with me.", he recited, leaning forward slowly as his fingers slid under her chin, while he received a silent nod from Salome. A wolfish grin spread across his lips as his eyes slid to her plump ones. Giving in to his need, he ran his thumb over her lower lip, completely overwhelmed by how much the connection between them made the air sizzle around them.

"I don't know why your King Solomon gave me such a nice gift, but I'm very happy to accept it!", he purred as his free hand went over her shaking one, holding the torch to stabilize it.

Salome looked at him speechless. The atmosphere between them had changed suddenly and it was difficult for her to keep calm. She had completely underestimated their connection. Of course, she had felt how it was getting stronger after actually facing each other for the first time, but that ... that was intense. Is that what Solomon wanted?

"Sinbad.", she breathed, while she slowly put her hand on his chest, not sure if she wanted to dig into the fabric or push him away.

Suddenly there was a loud bang from the upper floor which made them detach from each other in alarm. Sinbad hurriedly snatched the torch from her hand and reached for Salome's wrist with his other one.

"Come!", he ordered before pulling her behind him to run up the stairs to the front hall.

[yandere-romanticaa]

Judar, Aladdin, Kouha, Kougyoku and Ja'far finding out their S/O is stuck in a arranged marriage and that's why they ran away from home.

Arranged Marriage // Yandere! Scenarios

♡ Judal ♡

Judal will be completely shocked. How didn't he know that his s/o was engaged?! This is bullshit, no way this is real! Judal refuses to believe that this is true, but once everyone confirms that indeed his s/o is engaged, Judal feels like he'll explode. He will destroy any nearby objects as he makes his way to s/o's room. When he roughly opens the door, he is greeted by silence. Judal calls out to s/o, but no one greets him back. That's when Judal notices a note next to s/o's bed. Judal quickly reads it and he can already feel his hear stop beating.

"I can't do this anymore. I can't marry that man, I just can't. I refuse to give out my freedom like this. I would rather die alone in the desert rather then to be in that mans clutches.

I'm sorry."

Judal immediately rips the letter in his hands as tears are threatening to spill from his eyes. He couldn't believe that this is happening. He immediately runs out of the room and is already high in the air. His vision is slightly blurry as his chest feels incredibly tight with worry, but his face is completely stone cold. He doesn't want anyone at the palace to see him like this. But, he will go out in to the desert to find his s/o. He doesn't care who he has to hurt or kill, but s/o will be back in his embrace again.

♡ Aladdin ♡

Oh no. No, no, no! Aladdin won't even bother to hide his tears as he tightly hugs his s/o. He feels so incredibly sad that he doesn't even know what to say! How can his s/o be engaged?! He knows that his s/o is an amazing person, but this happened just so suddenly. Aladdin will definitely need some time to cool off so he'll probably spend the entire afternoon alone. But later when the sun was setting, he decided to pay a little visit to his s/o. He was hoping to see if there was any way for them to avoid the marriage because they obviously didn't want it! Perhaps he could make a deal with s/o's parents? Aladdin was already starting to make a plan, but Alibaba interrupted his thoughts.

Alibaba was completely breathless from the running. When Aladdin calmed him down, Alibaba told him that s/o disappeared, just like that. Aladdin had no idea how much of this he could take, but this was definitely too much for him. He needs to find s/o and he will find them. He is confident that s/o couldn't have goon too far, considering that they were in Sindria.

Aladdin's reaction is a heartbroken but determined one. He understands what kind of situation this is, but everything will be alright in the end.

♡ Ren Kouha ♡

When Kouha first heard the news that his s/o is now engaged, he will look calm. A bit too calm... Nobody knows what to expect from the eccentric prince, but his servants know that he is not alright. He will tell them to immediately leave the room and they all hastily leave. Kouha remained silent for a few moments, but he then started to laugh. But his laugh wasn't of joy. It had a certain edge to it that made the nearby maids shiver.

All that Kouha could see now was red. He would capture this bastard that dared to take s/o's hand, but s/o's parents will also be punished. To think, that they were willing to force their own daughter in to doing something that she just wasn't willing to do. After all, her heart belonged to him.

Ren Kouha. The Prince of the Kou Empire.

Only a fool would dare to disobey his orders! He would find this baboon and he will end him in the most bloody way possible. The guy will be begging to be killed once Kouha has his hands on him. But when Kouha realises that s/o ran away... There is no turning back. He will completely snap, but he'll do his best to hide it. For a short while at least.

Once Kouha exits his chambers, he has a small smile on his face but one look in to his eyes, and it is obvious that he is utterly enraged. Nobody is going to take his s/o away from him. Nobody!

♡ Ren Kougyoku ♡

Oh poor, sweet Kougyoku. The moment Ka Kobun delivers the news that s/o is engaged, the princess will automatically break in to tears. She has no idea what to do. She already sees herself unworthy of s/o's attention, but this. This is just too much.

Kougyoku will refuse to leave her room for the next couple of days, and this concerns Kobun. As if things couldn't get any worse, Kobun learns that s/o has escaped the palace because their fiancee lives there too. Kobun feels horrible when he delivers these awful news to the princess. But, Kougyoku didn't know that s/o's fiancee was actually in the palace. Upon learning this, Kougyoku will spring in to action as she thinks what could she do to take this bothersome fiancee out of the picture. She first tried to bribe him, but that didn't work. Then she tried to reason with him, telling him that there were plenty of other women with whom he could be with. While Kougyoku was desperately trying to change his mind, a secret search for s/o was going. Kougyoku couldn't sleep because she knew that her s/o was in danger. The world is just so cruel, and people like s/o should be protected, and Kougyoku feels extremely disappointed in herself because she failed at that task.

In a blind rage, Kougyoku secretly sneaks in to the bastards room and sharpens her blade. She covers his mouth with her sleeve as she slits his throat. The wall and Kougyoku were now completely bloody, but she didn't care. All that mattered was that this moron was out of the picture. All that needed to be done was for s/o to return back to the palace.

♡ Ja'far ♡

Out of all of the yanderes mentioned up above, Ja'far will definitely have the most extreme reaction. Ja'far already knows s/o well enough to predict that they will try to escape, but he won't let them. Instead, he will be their shoulder to cry on, their emotional rock of support. Ja'far will endlessly shower his s/o with affection and small gifts, while making sure that all of his blades remained sharp.

One night, while s/o was asleep, Ja'far decided to make his move. He used to be a skilled assassin, so his skills proved to be very useful. He remained hidden in the darkness as he made his way down to the dungeons, where he kidnapped s/o's fiancee.

Ja'far stared down apathetically at him as he held a knife in his hand. No screams were heard from the man simply because Ja'far had already cut out his tongue. The next morning, the entire palace had a received a horrible surprise in the shape of a unidentified corpse. s/o was happy that they were out of a forced engagement, but this was just inhumane! s/o stared in disbelief at the corpse as Ja'far gently held them back. No one saw the sadistic smile on Ja'far's face that day...

[ottomanladies]

It's been confirmed that Abbasid Queen, Zubaidah bint Ja'far, wife of Sultan Harun al-Rashid was a big role model for Hurrem. She admired her architectural and charitable contributions and emulated them. Do we know of any other famous historical women that Hurrem might have admired? I'm tempted to think she was a fan of 6th-century Byzantine Empress Theodora (wife of Justinian). Both were in the same city, both came from lower-class backgrounds, and both were concerned with women's issues.

Hello! This is so funny because Peirce seems to have thought the same thing:

“Would Suleyman and Roxelana recall that the emperor Justinian I—original patron of Hagia Sophia, now the premier Ottoman mosque—had raised the popular entertainer Theodora to empress? He then made her collaborator in his massive building program to glorify Constantinople. Theodora, who died in 548, by the Christian calendar a millennium before the building of the Haseki hospital, was held to be particularly responsible for charities devoted to the relief of poverty. If they remembered this most famous couple in Byzantine history, Roxelana and Suleyman could not openly emulate them—they were Christian. Moreover, Theodora’s reputation was marred by historians who were unfavorable to both her past and her power; the analogy could be tempting to Roxelana’s detractors. Muslim history, however, provided a perfect couple to invoke: the legendary Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid, made famous in part by his appearance in the tales of One Thousand and One Nights, and his wife Zubaida, also legendary as a great philanthropist. To be hailed as “the Zubaida of the times” was the highest accolade a female patron could aspire to. [...] It would take an elaborate philanthropic establishment in Jerusalem some years later to earn her the honor.” -- Peirce, Leslie.

Could you do the "Sparta shoulder flip request" for, Muu, Ja'far, Lo'lo and Masrur? (That's if they can flip Lo'lo and Masrur over :") )

Muu

he was stretching after an intense training

his sneaky partner saw that as a chance

not even his bare back or his flexing muscles could distract them from the deed that has to be done

´ easy, don´t rush. You have only one chance.´

the exhausted fanalis took one last deep breath and relaxed

big mistake

Muu´s eyes shot open as he felt the oh so familiar arms around his upper body

“ THIS.IS.SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! “

they kicked the stool that he was sitting on and managed to use the fall to their advantage

“ What just…?”

Muu laid there, dumbfounded, while his partner run away

yelling that they are the new captain off the fanalis corps

Ja´far

he was beyond pissed as he, yet again, had to search for Sinbad to sign some papers that he carried around for about 10 minutes

in fact, he was so pissed, that his ex-assassin alarms got ignored

he ignored it

damn it Ja´far! Be careful!

´cause unknown to him, there was a shadow following him

a shadow that would kill to get the satisfaction of winning against the all prepared Ja´far in something

he rounded another pillar as they got ready to launch themselves at him

´ I´m sorry Ja´babe, but I just have to.´

“ Stupid Sinbad. Of all your usual hiding spots, why does it have to be your harem- ”

!?!

he blinked his eyes rapidly as he watched how the neatly put stack of papers- that he prepared- flew around, only to fall on the ground that he was on as well

his eyes found the sparkling ones of his lover

they threw their hands in the air with a triumphant smile

“ THIS IS SPARTA , JA´LOVE!!!!!!!!! GOT YA!! “

he laid their, starring them dead in the eye

“ Those papers won´t collect itself, Love. “

.

.

.

“ I´m in trouble aren´t I ? ”

Ja´far: * takes a deep breath in*

Shit

Lo´lo

“Hold on! I - I can do- damn it!”

a sigh escaped his lips as he stared them down

“ It was funny for the first few minutes. Now it´s just annoying.”

you see, his partner runned up to his from seemingly nowhere and jumped up to tackle him down

the result?

a pouting human being that struggled to bring the mighty fanalis down, while hanging on his front like a coala baby

he doesn´t say anything, ´cause he thought that they wanted to jump him, but…

“ You sure that you don´t want me to just bang-”

“ For Solomon´s sake, NO! Just fall down!”

he sighed again for the umpteenth time, not understanding the importance or logic behind their motive

“ And why should I?”

“´Cause- Damn it, are you made of stone?- ´Cause: THIS. IS.- Stop it, don´t tickle me Lo´lo!- THIS IS!- LO`LO STOPP! It´s Sparta, damn it !!!! ”

Masrur

“Darling, help me down!”

Masrur looked around the trees of the forest that he was napping in, when his eyes finally fell on the one with an extra:

his partner

he stood up and made his way towards the tall tree, ignoring their pleads to come faster that´s what she said, sry I had to write it xD

why were they up there?

well, Masrur never let an opportunity slip to impress his lover with his strength

they winked him over, signaling him to come closer

which he did

he spread his arms open for them to fall

Masrur thought that it would end up like always

they would jump like a scared cat or all princess -like

but not like that

they jumped with wide spreaded arms, face first to tackle him

.

.

“ You comfy? ”

his partner let out a muffled scream that was silenced through the close contact of their mouth with his shoulder

of course he wouldn´t fall

not even with the suprise effect and the help of gravity combined

the situation that the couple was in, was familiar

it looked like that one  who are we kidding time, were Aladdin jumped up to bury his face in the breasts of an (un?) lucky women

well, plan b

“ Could you just…lay down? “

Masrur shrugged and let himself fall backwards

high fiving the air, his partner screamed in his face

“This is Sparta! Yes! I did it!”

[labyrinth-of-headcanons]

These prompts are great, could I get "Is it cliché to ask you to marry me on Christmas?" For Ja'far with his fem s/o asking the question please?

"Is it cliché to ask you to marry me on Christmas?"

Looking at his s/o in confusion, he gave them a light snicker, before turning his head back to look into the flames of the fireplace again. He felt her snuggling up to him, Ja’far moving his arm slightly, so she could sit comfortably.

The couple didn’t have a lot of peaceful evenings like this. On one hand because of Ja’far’s work behavior, second because they both were too tired most of the days, to really engulf in this kind of privacy. But the days around Christmas both of them had to promise each other, that they would spent the time together. Here they were now and if he was honest: He couldn’t be more happy.

“Well, shouldn’t it be me who asks the question, to make it cliché?”, he returned at her, after a long pause.

Sinking into silence again, he heard his s/o sigh.

“I don’t know. I like how things are now, but in times like these-”, she made a excessive motion with her hand on their surroundings and them, “-make me think of the future too.”

Now it was Ja’far’s turn to give them a short hum, before getting quiet again. It’s not like he never thought about his future with his s/o, just never in this extent, even though the couple stuck together for a few years already. And even if they were to marry, what would follow? Children? A house? A dog? Ja’far never thought to have a normal life in the first place, what was normal even?

“Maybe we shouldn’t.”, his s/o suddenly mumbled, softly rubbing over his belly, to calm him, as he had been tensing up unknowingly.

A bit ashamed, he didn’t answer right away, not wanting to hurt his s/o with unnecessary words. Sighing, he reached for her hand, placing a tender kiss on her knuckles.

“Maybe it would be cliché.”, Ja’far admitted, staring into the red and orange flickering fire, whilst rubbing over her fingers with his thump.

“But if it’s with you, I am sure that I can overcome any obstacle.”
