#adventures of Simpbad

[morimakesfanart]

Does Sinbad like have his own filter on when he sees Mori like when they do normal and random things that people won’t think much of but Sinbad sees it as the most beautiful thing ever? 

Also happy pride month!!!

Yes. It didn't start that way. The first spark was towards the end of ch 4- into the start of ch 5 and it's been growing ever since. He is unaware that what he's seeing isn't what everyone else see, and it will be a while before he realizes

Thank you for the Happy Pride ;0; I wish I wasn't so sick through it

[morimakesfanart]

so like I was going through snapchat filters and found the one that make u look old like really old and was wondering what Sinbad's reaction would be if he ever came across that filter let alone snapchat itself. I feel like his reaction would be one that we will never forget.

Anon, you have no idea how funny this idea has been to me. It has been festering in my brain for 10 months. I wrote up some idea for how to add it to a Reverse Isekai AU chapter, but it wasn't enough. I had to animate it!

I cried from laughing to hard multiple times while making this XD You don't even know!

Lucid Dream 2024 April 30

At the end of April, I was extremely exhausted and struggling with shut down so hard I had a dream about finding a place to sleep. It started as an architecture dream where I was wandering around an underground building like a convention center, lots of gymnasiums, or warehouses. There were rooms full of folding chairs to watch some type of presentation. There were older women crafting like a reenactment events.

Eventually the sleepy caught up to me and I passed out sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall. I became vaguely aware of being carried, and placed in a bed. We had a short conversation and I didn't want to let go, but I had to so he could leave. At least he thought I was cute.

Longer version of the Sinbad part:

My consciousness was stirred by the feeling of being lifted from where I fell asleep. The rhyme of the person's steps and the warm of their arms pulled me back to sleep until they started putting me down. I felt cooler where they were no longer touching me. It was a struggle to get me eyes to open even as I was being covered by a sheet.

I recognized him even in the dimly lit room. Before he could leave I sat up, wrapped my arms around him and pulled him back down. His free hand -that wasn't adjusting the sheet- wrapped around my back. "Oh?" His voice was quiet and had the ghost of a laugh in it.

I nuzzled into the crook of his neck. His skin was soft and warm against my nose and lips. His smell was a comfort I didn't want to be without, and I was already going to have to cope with not having his warmth or feeling the rhythm of his breathing when he leaves.

"What do you think you're doing?" I could hear his smile in how he asked the question.

My answer was earnest, and unmasked. "I'm breathing you in so I can still smell you after you leave." I took another deep breath through my nose. It wasn't for emphasis. I just didn't want to be a part from him.

Sinbad froze at my answer. I was sure he wasn't expecting me to be so direct. The muscles of his chest and arms tightened. "You're making it a lot harder to leave, you know." Even as he said that he squeezed me back with one arm.

"Good." I whined the word a bit like a child, and tightened my grip on him too when his hand -that had adjusted the sheet- touched my arm to remove it.

His sigh hit the back of my neck. "Please don't make this any harder than it already is."

I took one last breath of him, "Okay," and loosened my grip so he could lay me back down. This time when he stood up my arms stayed limp by my sides.

Sinbad placed a warm hand over my eyes to force them closed. "Rest well."

I only was able to make a small sound in response. The moment was a command too convincing to deny. Even when he removed his hand I was too far gone to watch him leave, but I heard his step grow quiet and vanish with my consciousness.

((There's no way I'm not going to put this in Sindria's Prophet. I already planned for something similar to happen, and this is far better than what I was thinking))

Lucid Dream 2024 July 21 -Amusement Park Inspection

I was going around an amusement park that was set up like a town the way Disney does it. The theme of the park was animated series I'd seen, so there was anime, and American and European cartoons referenced at the same time. As I went around I had an odd sense of superiority/ownership. I couldn't tell if it was the fact that I was Lucid dreaming so I knew I could do whatever I want, or if my place in the dream world had some type of ownership over the park. I had been set up with a scavenger hunt to help show me around the park and see all the small details. For the SH I was given a pair of 3D glasses that would be needed to see hidden messages around the park. Most of the messages were names of characters or events that were set up as statues or murals around the park. The ones I remember most clearly were the end. "Agent in the Sky" that lead me to the castle from Spy X Family. Climbing up the castle gave a great view of the park but I couldn't spot anything until I was on the way down and saw a Perry the Platypus ((Phineas and Ferb)) statue hanging outside one of the windows. The glasses revealed a message on his tail "CHILCHUCK" ((Dungeon Meshi)).

So I headed for the only bar I saw on the map -based on Quindecim from Death Parade. That whole building had rooms dedicated to characters that like drinking, so of course there was a room for Sinbad. A large sliding door cabinet for wine had a layered wooden carving of Sinbad's Focalor Full Body Djinn Equip. It was stained wood, but painted to get the tones. It was gorgeous craftsmanship.

While studying it I caught a glimpse of what I was wearing in the reflection on the window. It was pretty much the design I made for my final arc outfit in Sindria's Prophet, only with a few added flourishes. The biggest difference from my og design was that I had a jeweled broach over my heart that had peacock feathers out the top.

When I got to the bar I saw that there were characters on the coasters, and realized I had to order the right drink to get the one with Chilchuck on it. Since I'm allergic to most alcohol on the menu I ordered something I thought was the Chilchuck drink, and another that I could actually have. It was a lemon lime soda with frozen fruit sorbet pressed into gemstone shapes in a thin but tall glass with a straw. It was cute and refreshing. I'm not sure what series it was for though.

A guy that reminded me of [a friend's ex] sat next to me and started talking at me. By the way he was eyeing me I could tell he was trying to showoff or flirt. He was rambling about the making of the park and all the tech things that when into it. At least he had good taste as a fellow Simpbad and told me all about the Magi parts so I could go find those later. I was an obvious Simpbad from my outfit. But then he started mansplaining my drink choices at me, and got disrespectful of people with allergies. The asshole was going off on how I "couldn't truly appreciate Sinbad" like he could because I don't drink things I can't verify.

I was done with the scavenger hunt after that line and stood up. "You realize Sinbad isn't going to fuck you, right?"

His brow furrowed and he turned in his seat to keep facing me. "He isn't going to fuck you either! Everyone knows he's settled down now."

I rolled my eyes as I took out a shellphone and walked off. I went back to the wine room with the wood Sinbad to make my call. I called someone I knew wasn't currently in a meeting. "One of Sin's fanboys is here and pissed me off. I want to leave. Send someone to come get me and make it flashy. I want to show off who my husband is."

After a few mins one of the Sindria Company private airships flew over head and got close to the building. The side of the hull opened up and Sinbad was standing in it smiling at me. Even though I knew he couldn't hear me at that distance I still said out loud, "You didn't have to come personally, you know."

He let down a cloth rope for me to grab and pulled me up. One hand instantly wrapped around my waist to support me when I was in range. The other held onto the frame of the door. "So you want to show off your husband, huh?"

I returned his cheeky smile with my own. "Yeah."

He laughed. "Did I do a good job?"

"This is far more than enough."

He leaned down and lifted me slightly so his face was closer to mine. "Then can I get my reward?"

I used one had to stroke his cheek. "Of course." And when we kissed I used the other hand to direct a middle finger at the window of the bar.

Sinbad laughed when he caught what I was doing before finally closing the door to the ship. The kiss was definitely part of showing off.

((I laughed when I woke up at how this ended. My only regret was taking months to have the time to draw it))

[morimakesfanart]

The magi server I'm in did another costume swap event. My one track mind of course chose Sinbad. I did his Djinn equips 2 years ago so chose his main regular outfits this time :D [2021] [2022]

Sindria's Prophet Concept Art #2

[#1]

This time it's drawings of interactions between Mori & Sinbad that I made while working on the first few arcs. They're mostly flirting drawings tbh XD Some of these were done because I wanted to test out outfits next to Sin, or scenes, but mainly it was because I was feeling self indulgent.

This first set was made when I was still figuring out the dynamic, and wasn't super sure when I wanted certain events to happen. Sinbad likes stomach out fashion so I focused on that for a while.

These next ones were made after I had a lot more of the over arcing plot figured out. These are just as much outfit tests as they are scene tests. Most are from ideas for the Announcement Arc, but some are for some arcs I have planned for later -not sure if all will happen though

Next is the drawing that defined the style I make the illustrations in :3 This was for the final scene of chapter 4 that I really liked (for obvious reasons), but I realized that it was too rushed (for obvious reasons) so rewrote a ton, and it was making that rewrite that I realized I wanted to start posting. Anyway, here is the drawing and how I edited it to make the style:

The edited art for the Spotify Playlist:

((Posting these is making me want to draw more things like this again XD))

Dead End 01 -SP Ch04

This is am early draft of ch04 from Sindria's Prophet. 

It is very different from the final version

*Angst

*CW-suicide attempt mentioned

I hadn't slept well. I knew what was coming so I couldn't stay in bed. I ate a quick breakfast, and went to check on Aladdin. Sure enough, Alibaba had already left to start the coup. I waited to give him more time before I'd go see Sinbad. I had decided to not change things, but I couldn't stop myself from wanting to help somehow.

I knocked on the door. Ja'far opened it after Sinbad agreed to let me in.

I got straight to the point. "As soon as your allies get here, you need to head to the palace with them." I could see the nerves growing on his face as Sinbad figured out the implications of my words. "Alibaba has stormed the palace. He will defeat the man that turned into the elephant monster the other night while Morgiana holds off the everyone else. Once in the throne room, Alibaba will win over all of the guards there, and the coup with be successful. However, the Kou Princess will appear, and Alibaba will need your support." I hesitated for a moment. "Do not take the stage from him. Alibaba won't give an inch to the Princess."

The current picked up.

For a few moments they both just watched me. Sinbad regained composure. "Is there anything else you're willing to tell me?"

News of Alibaba's actions would reach us soon. I looked back at the door. "Before Aladdin wakes up, his condition will get worse for a bit. Oh, and..." I fully faced my exit. "You'll want to bring medics with you to the palace. You will be getting your metal vessels back later today." I started towards the door. If I wouldn't prevent things than maybe I could help save some of those affected.

"Mori." Sinbad sounded serious yet soft.

I stopped.

"Thank you for the warnings."

It didn't take long to start hearing tells of Alibaba's battle to the throne room and growing support outside the palace. More people hurried there to see the change happening in their country.

A dark laugh escaped me. "You won't want to thank me when today is over." I opened the door. "Just know that I'm sorry."

---

A part of me wanted to watch everything in person, but I knew I'd only get in the way. I could feel it in the flow.

Fear clenched my muscles into knots.

I went to my room and moved some furniture in front of my door. I didn't want to worry about someone taking advantage of the commotion when the fighting really starts -like in the manga.

Sinbad would be rushing to the palace soon if he hadn't already. I knew he'd be questioning Alibaba's reasoning as he went, and probably questioning mine as well. 'Was this really something he shouldn't prevent? So much so that I wouldn't tell him about all of this in advanced? He could have prevented this!' At least I imagined he'd have such thoughts as he rushed to fix the situation with diplomacy.

I saw a bright light shine from a tower in the city. No doubt Ugo was summoning Aladdin and Judar's Rukh -at least trying to. After the light died down the people quieted, but only for a bit. I hoped that the negotiations were going as well as they did in the original. And hopefully, Sinbad would still be impressed by Alibaba's decision, and actions.

More and more people flocked to the palace to hear of the outcome. There was no way to stop human curiosity, and of course, the results here would affect the rest of their lives.

The current felt stronger. I couldn't deny that these were the same waves that Sinbad felt.

And then I saw that dreaded procession.

The fog troop was coming with Cassim at it's helm. There was so much black Rukh that I could see them. I knew if I had warned Sinbad, then potentially Banker and the other dark magicians could have been prevented from helping. And maybe some of the casualties could be prevented. But if I was unable to prevent Sinbad from rewriting the Rukh with his own will...

I covered the window.

In stories, characters are always forced to watch when someone risks their life, or people die due to their decisions. The stories seemed to say it was the more honorable or noble thing to do. But I wasn't about to traumatize myself more than I already was for the sake of noble aesthetics. I only had about five years left to try to change the ending -less if I wanted to prevent it completely- and I'd need to limit my traumatic experiences if I was going to have a chance of achieving any of it.

The black Rukh were filling the city, some had even entered the room. There was so much that even regular people could see them.

One of the black Rukh landed on me. Tears started streaming down my face and sharp pain cut through my stomach. Back home I was the type that couldn't enter certain types of haunted locations because I could feel the pain of the ghosts trapped there. Hospitals were some of the worst. Some ghosts would attach themselves to me to leave their spot and I would be stuck with them until I could convince them to move on.

(CW)

Was my Rukh black? That would explain why they were circling me. When I was a young teen, I had nearly succeeded in taking my own life. I was better enough to count now, but maybe it had made my Rukh black. Of course, if my Rukh was black it was probably because I didn't pass through the Sacred Palace when I was Isekaied, but I wasn't thinking about that.

"I'm so sorry you died that way." I sobbed. "You don't deserve this."

Spirit Magic might be the only known way to directly affect Rukh type but I wanted to try something. "If you want you can try passing through me. Since I'm still alive maybe I can help."

The Ruhk vanished. I couldn't tell if it entered me or if I just couldn't see it any more.

More Black Rukh landed on me and repeated the process. I hoped whatever I was doing was helping them. At least, I could convince myself I was doing something useful.

I could hear the screams, crashing, and destruction from my room. Should I go and try to help the wounded even though I'd be risking my life? Was I actually thinking about the future or was I just a coward who avoided making a decision?

A sound pierced through me to my bones. I couldn't see the source, but I knew in my heart that it was the sound of Cassim merging with the dark Djinn.

I moved the furniture not blocking the door in front of the window to try to muffle the sound. It worked a little, but it blocked the remaining light from getting in my room more than the sound.

It was clear that the amount of black Rukh I was engaging with wasn't enough to change fate, but I hoped it was doing something. How could I have actually allowed this to happen? Sure the future was important, but why did I have so little faith in myself to change it?

Why did the the shift in the flow have to remind me that I didn't have plot armor?

How much would I cry before the day was over? What about after? Was there any normal person who could sympathize with someone who knowingly let others die like this? Was this similar to how the singularities felt?

David became self righteous because of his knowledge of the path of fate. Now that I was here, would the same happen to me? If I had a power of my own maybe I could have helped. If only I had been stronger. Maybe I should have told Sinba -

**C r A c K**

The distinctive sounds of thunder and lightning boomed through the space. Sinbad had gotten his metal vessels back. It was almost a shame I didn't get to see his Djinn Equip in person, but I didn't deserve such a gift after what I'd done.

If everything was following the script, that meant Cassim was dead, and the battle was over.

The room was quiet and no new Rukh appeared. I unbarricaded my door but didn't bother with revealing the window.

All this because Alibaba needed to absorb Cassim's Rukh, Judar needed to receive that "gift" from Aladdin, and Aladdin needed to get Solomon's Wisdom. Was it worth it?

The flow of the Rukh change with the battle over. I could finally help. I grabbed as much supplies as I thought I could carry and started making rounds.

The city was a mess. Crying filled the air. Many were still in shock and mourning their dead in the streets. There were still some injured unattended. I could help those people.

My body had been screaming in pain from the stress and fear all day, but that pain was gone. Even the pain from the Ruhk that landed on me was just a memory. Fear and stress were meaningless during times like this; my mind cleared as I got to work.

I was tying on a splint for someone when Aladdin called the Rukh to descend to their loved ones. The morale raised for many.

I kept working. There was no one in the great flow to visit me anyway.

A few others started helping me treat the wounded.

I had only been bandaging people for about an hour when I felt the current beginning to pick up again. And this time it was moving towards me. It wasn't just moving towards my location, whatever was causing the shift in the flow was aiming for me specifically.

I opened the door on my own before they even had a chance to knock. I couldn't look up to make eye contact out of guilt.

As soon as I finished helping the person I was working on, I excused myself from the rest of the medics, and bolted for my room. I had a promise to keep after all.

---

The whole day I had heard footsteps running back and forth, but somehow I could tell that the current set of steps were heading towards me. The pit of my stomach and bones felt icy. There was no point in trying to run away or hide when that man was the one chasing you.

Sinbad clasped both of my shoulders. "You knew about the dark Djinn!!" I was forced backwards and he staggered into the room with me. The current came rushing in with him.

I hadn't had time to light candles, and had left my window blocked earlier, so the only source of light was coming from the door behind him. His face was cast in shadow, but I could still make out the rage and betrayal on his face when I stumbled backwards.

I caught the vague sound of Ja'far telling him not to push himself.

Sinbad was so close I could smell the blood, dirt and sweat on him. That was my fault. Sure it was originally what was going to happen, but I could have stopped it. His pain was my fault through my omission.

"Why didn't you say anything?!"

Did it have to be Sinbad yelling at me? He had been my comfort character, and now he was towering over me and shoving my sins in my face. I was scared. I tried to be brave. "If I told you any of the details then you would have prevented it, and I couldn't let you-"

"Of course I would!! Are you with them?! You promised you'd explain! So explain!" The current was filling the room.

How much was okay to say? "When I said today needed to happen I meant it. Aladdin needed that new power, and Alibaba needed to take in his friend's Rukh. In a few years there's going to be a war that will trigger a worse dark spot than the one that formed in First Sindria." Sinbad's grip tightened on my shoulders, but he didn't scare me. "Aladdin and Alibaba will be among the first responders, and their help will be key to destroying the dark spot. And only a few more years after that, there will be an even greater threat. Only those with altered Rukh will be able to fight it! Today's events will lead to more than just Alibaba having their Rukh altered so they can help. I didn't want to do this! I hate that I couldn't find a way out of this!" I knew that I could potentially force those fates faster if I said the wrong thing, but there was also no way to prevent either if I said nothing.

Sinbad and the others were saying something but I couldn't hear them over my own heart beat. His grip lighten on me. His trust deserved a more thorough explanation.

"Al Thamen's agenda was written by a powerful sorcerer that could read fate. Just like most of them, he does not have a body of his own but he's still trapped in a pocket dimension. David wants to break into this world and a specific different dimension connected to it." My voice shook.

Ja'far tried to sum up my implications. "So then we just have to prevent him from-"

I laughed. "'You can't out run what's already here.'" It was a quote from Homestuck, but it worked just as well to describe the situation with David. "He gained a door to this world 10 years ago, and is now just waiting." I could feel the room stiffen. "During the fall of First Sindria he connected to that massive influx of black Rukh, and can enter through it. In a few years the leader of Al Thamen will notice and work with his current vessel to realize his goal."

Saying it out loud made tears form in my eyes. I wasn't talking about something that happened to a character; it was the world I was living in. Was David listening through Sinbad right now? I could feel the waves around me but not what they meant.

Sinbad's voice was commanding. "Where is his vessel now?"

"Even if I told you, it's not something that can be destroyed so easily." There was no way Sinbad would commit suicide, so he could figure it out for himself.

His eyes were like molten gold even in the dark as he tried to find the information I was withholding. "Why won't you tell us where?"

I was scared of answering, but it didn't make my blood run cold. Every moment I spent with Sinbad made me less scared that he would fulfill the same fate. It was still possible, but there were more possibilities now. The flow was changing.

"Because ... when you learned where he is and some other information, you were the one to activate the spell and destroy the world." I felt one tear fall.

"What? Why would I do such a thing??" Sinbad's grip on my shoulders tightened.

"Sin is doing everything he can to bring about peace!” Ja'far defended.

I put up my hands to calm them. "For the past 15 years, you have been fighting, and growing your power and influence. Sindria and the Seven Seas Alliance hold more power than 2 of the oldest and largest Empires this world has ever seen. Only an idiot would think you won't eventually become the person that stands at the top."

The waves around me urged me to continue. "When you have no more power to gain, and you reached your goal of peace, what do you do? Find a new ambition to work towards? Spend all your time maintaining the status quoe? Or do you continue doing what you've always done?" I shrugged and put my hands back down. "The answer is obvious. Upon learning that there was a way to reach other dimensions and worlds you took it. You wanted to bring your vision of equality to other dimensions." It was twisting the facts a bit, but not entirely wrong. What he had wanted was to imbue his will on the Rukh to achieve his goal of peace eternally, then he wanted to kill the gods above him to bring everyone to the same level.

The fact that they believed everything I said astounded me. I had just said that Sinbad would be the one to destroy the world. Even in the dark, I could see in his eyes the growing realization that I was right -that given the opportunity he would do anything to broadened his horizons and influence- and the silence of his generals was proof they agreed.

Sinbad's waves were swirling around me. My head was swimming. I didn't want him to hate me but it felt inevitable after telling him what type of person he'd become. Another tear fell.

"Those that fight against the spell, talk to you and make you realize there are other options, but it's too late. David will be there keeping the spell active. He is a cruel person who cannot see outside of himself and the fate he dedicated his life to. You sacrifice your life and take David down with you."

David was probably listening in. Even though letting him know that I know was dangerous, I felt like I had reached a check-mate. Sinbad now knew where David and fate would lead him if he didn't change his ways. I could feel the waves radiating out of Sinbad. He would choose a different fate. I could only hope it would be a better one.

I might not like the many of the decisions he made in the original but I liked Sinbad. He was kind at his core even when he became corrupted by pain and greed. That kindness was why he became a comfort character for me.

The tears I had been holding back began to fall and I shut my eyes -I could barely see anyway. "More than anything else, I don't want to watch you become someone you hate. You're waves are literally changing right in front of me but I still don't know if it can be avoided!" I knew Sinbad didn't agree with David, but language is power; there was no way he wasn't influenced by him.

The pressure on my left shoulder was gone, and my tears were being wiped away on that side. "You can feel my waves?" Any quieter and I would have thought I was hearing things.

I gave a half hearted attempt to shake him off; I couldn't accept a kind gesture from him. I didn't deserve it. "How could I not when they're aimed right at me?"

He had stopped wiping my tears but cupped my cheek instead. The warmth of his hand was more comforting than I could fight against. I found myself leaning into that warmth despite myself.

That's right; Sinbad could feel the waves of fate, and had so much influence over them that with his greed he became like a god before his death. How was I supposed influence him enough to save him? "I read your life so many times trying to figure how to change it! How can I prove that the ends don't justify the means when I just let people die so others can be saved in the fut-!”

I couldn't speak.

There was suddenly a soft warm pressure keeping my mouth closed and I was overwhelmed by the waves. I felt like I was under water -floating. This wave brought a strange sense of peace with it.

I didn't dare open my eyes. I didn't want to believe what I was feeling when I realized it wasn't one of his hands covering my mouth.

To add insult to injury my dumb ass didn't even try to fight it; I didn't want to fight it, and it wasn't from fear. But there had to be a better way to get my attention.

((This is the first illustration I ever made for SP. I liked it so much I

Since I couldn't speak I was calming down, or maybe my adrenaline was dying. I was a bit disgusted with myself for playing that trope straight. I couldn't believe he had shut me up that way -it was Sinbad, but still- and in front of his generals no less!

Ja'far and Masrur yelled something, and I felt Sinbad's bangs tickle my face as he stood up right and I was able to talk again.

I opened my eyes, and the complaint I wanted to say got caught in my throat when I caught his expression.

He looked as shocked as I felt. I could barely see him in the dark of the room, but there was something else in his expression that I couldn't understand, or maybe just like the kiss, I didn't want to believe what I was seeing.

His hand caressed my cheek as it slipped off. It was only then that I noticed how much his hands were trembling. Of course he was exhausted. He had been badly injured fighting the dark Djinn, and used up a lot of magoi.

Sinbad leaned towards me again and closed his eyes, but he definitely wasn't aiming to lock lips again. His other hand slipped off of my shoulder as he fell on top of me. I managed to catch him and not crumple under his weight. I'd carried 6ft(183cm) tall men before so I wasn't unused to our size difference. They were twinks though. Sinbad's muscle put him outside of the range I could deal with for long. I knew I was out of shape, but, dang, he was heavy as dead weight.

Ja'far and Masrur took him off my hands -literally. On their way out Ja'far let me know that we'd "have to continue this conversation later" like it wasn't obvious, and apologized on Sinbad's behalf for his behavior towards the end.

After that I passed out from all the emotions and sudden lack of adrenaline.

((You can see which parts I was able to save and reuse in the final version. :3

The end got kinda rambly and preachy, huh? A lot of the dead end chapters have moments like that where they devolve into grief letters.

I want to post the ch5 and maybe ch6 from this Dead End too, but I'm stuck between 2 drafts from the ch5: Draft11(more violent) or Draft13(less violent). Where ch4 has Mori basically venting and processing my feelings about Sinbad to Sinbad, ch5 is the same but for Ja'far. Parts of ch5 were used in the start of final version of ch24. Also, the fears that lead Mori to act the way they did with Ja'far in ch19 are what happens in the Dead End of ch5. If you guys could let me know which version you're more interested in, I'd really appreciate it.))

Sindria's Prophet Ch 31 Omake

((This scene was cut from ch27-31; the flash back in it was originally cut from ch13. They are too funny to just leave on the cutting room floor, so I edited them to post as an omake. Also, they enhance scenes from ch34 onward, so I wanted to post it sooner rather than later. It's not a necessary scene though, or I would have made sure it was in the final cut. I place this final version of the scene during the start of chapter 31))

~POV Sinbad~ King Sinbad placed his elbows on his desk and his head on his interlocked fingers. "Ja'far, this isn't working."

"What isn't, Sin?" The official of the White Capricorn Tower was standing nearby, waiting for his King to finish a few documents.

"How can Mori make time to meet with the magicians and Spartos, but not talk to her own King?" She was locked in her room preparing for the Announcement, and refused to see anyone unless it was important -and apparently the King wasn't important enough.

Ja'far gave a flat rebuttal. "The whole reason you brought her here was to use her 'visions' to help reach our dream, wasn't it?" He eyed the paperwork the King was ignoring on his desk.

"Still," Sinbad sat up with a sigh. "I didn't expect Mori to be so thorough. Everyone who looks through that microscope is convinced and my people trust in me as their King." He had even told her as much days ago, but she insisted on providing these advancements more in case anything that had been used in her world to deny this science was used here. Sinbad fiddled with the papers on his desk while complaining. "I have a feeling that she's going to continue like this even after we've finished rebuilding to accommodate all of this new information." --- ~POV Ja'far~ That really did seem to be the case. There were many inventions Mori was going to recreate for them. Who knows how long that will take? "You can ask them to schedule regular meetings, you know? They agreed to the meeting with Spartos after all."

The King crossed his arms. "You clearly haven't realized what type of person Mori is. She responds much better to surprise encounters."

Since when? The Mori Ja'far had worked with the past week preferred having things scheduled and planned ahead of time. There was no way Sinbad didn't know that. "Why do you want to spend more time with her anyway? Mx. Mori is already giving her all for the citizens of Sindria." Ja'far asked even though he had a feeling he knew the answer.

Sin watched him for a moment and then looked towards the wall of windows. "Mori is my Prophet and yet it doesn't feel like I have her loyalty yet."

After the realization that Mori was helping Sin avoid the worst possible futures there was little doubt in her loyalty left. Sinbad was not after 'loyalty.' The others were right. The only people who didn't think Sinbad was falling in love with Mori were the two involved.

"Hey, Ja'far," Sinbad continued before his General was able to question him farther. "What do you think of moving my Beautiful Prophet into the Purple Leo Tower? It would be much easier to get a hold of her when she decides to stop working for the day. I wouldn't have to go as far to catch her."

Ja'far groaned. There was logic to what he said, but after nearly a month of watching Sinbad fixate on Mori it didn't sit the same. The fact that this was a development the other Generals saw coming, somehow, made it worse. --- (flashback) Ja'far remembered right after the rest of the Generals had first met Mori. Sin had just reminded them about his complete lack of desire for marriage in front of the guest Tower and started walking off. The Generals followed.

Hinahoho snorted a laugh. "Alright, I'll try to act shocked when you suggest moving her into the Purple Leo Tower as soon as she's better."

The King waved him off. "Mori is Sindria's Prophet now, and she has no home to return to. We should convince her to make Sindria her home and win her loyalty that way she will undeniably use her prophecies for Sindria. Moving her out of the guest tower might just happen in the future."

Pisti had a hand on her chin as she thought out loud, "She won't need her own bed though, will she?"

"Huh?"

The shortest General smirked. "Since she'll just end up sleeping in our King's bed every night anyway." She broke into laughter and half of the other Generals laughed with her. (flashback over) --- At least the King wasn't actually suggesting Mori sleep with him every night.

"Mx. Mori has barely been in Sindria for two weeks, and she was bedridden for half of it. We can't move someone into the Purple Leo Tower that no one knows. I don't know where we would put her room anyway."

"What if we converted the sitting room I brought her to last time? It's a good size, and it would be more convenient if her room was that close to mine." Sinbad smiled like he thought this was the perfect idea.

"Of course, not!"

"Why not?"

Ja'far fought down his frustration."There's no reason for her to be on the top floor. And besides, that room is used daily. Or did you forget your own routine?" That was the room the Call Girls waited in from night until morning for Sin to call them into his room which was practically right next door.

The King hummed. Sin really doesn't think sometimes; and involving Mori just makes it worse.

Even if she was to be moved into the Purple Leo Tower, why would he want Mori that close to him anyway? She flirted with Sin, but she also turned him down constantly. Moving her room nearby wasn't going to make it any more likely that she'd sleep with him. Sin was an idiot, but he was also a genius at getting his way. How far ahead was Sinbad planning with moving Mori into that room? If they got married, it would be extremely easy to connect their rooms later without having to move her again. Was that it? Had Sin realized his feelings and didn't say anything? But there was already a Queen's suite ready to be used someday...

Sin mumbled to himself, "I suppose it will be harder to seduce her if she sees the girls in person."

Yeah, no. Sin had 2 heads and he was not using the smart one.

((Heya everyone! I've decided that I didn't want to worry about drawing anything for this omake since I've got so much else I'm working on. The next arc of Sindria's Prophet is about half way written. The next ch of the Reverse Isekai AU is shaping up nicely. I also have been making progress on the Baby Mori AU, but I won't be able to post it until I get the first ch of the next arc posted. And lastly, I have a NSFW one shot for the Simpbad Collection that I'm finally at the art phase with. (I've got a few original projects I'm working on too)

I hope to get more posted soon :3 See you then))

They are a ton more emotionally written and the canon cast often ends up out of character because my first drafts are more about my anxieties and fears than what would actually happen.

Some will be multiple chapters since it sometimes takes me a while to realize something wasn't a good decision in the long run. This is why I normally write full arcs together, and don't finish posting an arc until I have the next one based out.

Sindria's Prophet Concept Art #1

Since it's the anniversary of when Mori gets Isekai'd (Oct 3rd) I decided to post some concept art to celebrate. Some of these was already posted to tumblr before, but I wanted to have all of the part 1 art together for this first edition in The Adventures of Simpbad Collection. Most of this is fashion/outfit ideas more than scene ideas, but I hope you enjoy them :3

I'll go through outfits first. WIP moments will be in [#2]

My early outfit ideas are always a bit more outlandish or cliche, but it's also where I figure out what type of stuff I want from an outfit.

Actually writing scenes helps me think about what actually makes sense for the moment. When I get to this stage I often narrow the design down to 2 ideas pretty easily. I pick whichever design I vibe with more and then some times I use the backup later if I'm out of ideas and need something for one scene. The tunic/dress Mori wore during the first Sinbird scene was like that. It was the runner up for the ship outfit.

The first final 3 outfits together:

The hoodie and shorts was a no brainer since that's just one of my favorite lounge outfits.

Once I got Mori to Sindria and actually had the option to give them a more anime outfit I was back to more outlandish designs. I hit a stalemate and switched to digital so I could test out colors and layers more easily

Eventually I ended up making my own dress up doll XD

Eventually I looked at the Magi color palette and realized that the teal/aqua I really like wearing isn't in it. It only has cyan and green, but not the range between, so I ended up having pick and choose and most of those ideas got dropped except for the one with the short vest that I made green. I really like that outfit so I'll probably use it again at some point. I have a few ideas for outfits the next arcs based on some of these, so look forward to those :D

I knew I wanted something special for the Announcement Arc and it took me a while to figure out what. It was while playing with the design that I decided on having it be a gift from Queen Artemina, and that helped finalize the design

I hope you like these :D I'll have the next one out soon

2023 Jan 30 -Lucid Dream: Sinbad Adventure Island

*Traditional art from my dream sketchbook

I had a dream where it was announced that there was going to be a special event involving Sinbad. Many fans -me included- hoped it would explain what actually happens to Sinbad in the end of Magi, and if he stayed dead, or was able to come back like the omake art suggests.

I found out about the event on my phone in the living room. I immediately looked at Lyly and told them, "I have to go. Tumblr knows I'm Simpbad. My reputation is at stake."

To which they deadpanned, "Bro, it's your dream. I'm not going to stop you."

Since the Sinbad event was happening at a convention with other special anime events Lyly invited Sky to join us. Another friend found out so we invited him too. Sky and the other friend piloted a mecha tank in the convention parking lot. It was like Kuromukuro in that the tank transformed into a humanoid mech. Lyly followed me until they decided it wasn't their thing and joined the others.

The Sinbad event turned out to be Sinbad's Adventure Island. It was kinda like the Adventure Island at Disney World in that it was kinda a giant obstacle course and playground. Because it reminded people of the Disney attraction, a lot of parents dropped off their kids at the island. The kids were only allowed on top of the island. Most of what the Adventure Island had to offer was in the caves that referenced the Dungeons. There was an NPC of Sinbad at the entrance. I had a full fan freakout. The SiNPC laughed and explained the rules of the Island, as well as that he would be going through all of the areas in the caves in a set loop so that if anyone got lost they would be able to find their way through. He would be doing set events at different locations that would hint at a secret -like a puzzle for people to figure out so they could find a specific location on the island.

Instead of going through the obstacles and games which was the obvious intent & where more clues would be hidden, I used the hole shaped windows in the walls to chase keep up with SiNPC. (The windows were shaped like that to continue the cave theming of most of the underground section.) Since I played a lot of games growing up, I often have dreams that involve NPC type people. I've found that if I push NPCs out of situations where game logic works, I can get my subconscious to make them an actual person. And I wanted to flirt with a real Sinbad.

SiNPC went into an area that guests were not supposed to be in. When I looked into the room I saw that he turned into his 14 y/o self. Young Sinbad jumped down a hole in the middle of the room. I ran in, and looked down the hole to see he landed in water. I could see the edges of several floors between us. That was definitely 14 y/o Sinbad. What the fuck was going on? I've had dreams where a person appeared multiple times at once, each with a different age, but not them changing age. Not to mention, normally if my age changes, it's early in the dream, or triggered by something from the age I turned into. Something felt off but it wasn't enough for my to change my age and I've never been able to do it consciously -yet; I prepared myself to shut down a flirty teenager just in case. I'm in my 30's and would not flirt with someone more than 5 years different than me. Even so, there was no way I wasn't going to follow him -Sin was 14, so it could be Baal's Dungeon down there and I was going to see it before the dream ended.

I looked back at Lyly who was standing in the doorway, and yelled, "I'm gonna jump in!"

They answered, "I know. I'm not following you though." Then they went to go regroup with the others.

As I jumped down my anxiety rose. It wasn't from fear of getting hurt or like when I can tell a dream is going to become a nightmare. I just felt more hyper vigilant of my surroundings from my PTSD; it felt like the level it was when I was a teenager. I've had a bunch of dreams where I am my past ages and recognized that feeling. I did it! I wasn't sure if that was a good idea though.

I could tell I wasn't as young as Sinbad. I went through hugely traumatic events when I was 12 & 14 and I felt like I did when I had recovered a little from them, so I had to be at least 15 -there were a bunch of traumatic events after that too, but I could feel that the trauma from later events weren't in my brain yet. I checked my hair and glasses and got the confirmation I was looking for. When I was 6 I started growing my bangs out so I could still be pretty -I thought you could only be pretty if you didn't have bangs because none of the pretty people with dark hair on TV and in Movies had bangs. I realized how stupid that was by the time I was 11, but I didn't realize I could have bangs again until I was a teenager. I started cutting my bangs when I was 15. The bangs I had were cut like Edward Eric's (because I didn't have the confidence to get the hime cut like I do now), but my hair isn't pin straight so it laid differently on me. I was definitely either 15 or 16 if this was the hair cut I had.

Even though this meant I was in an acceptable age range to flirt with Sinbad again, it also meant I was back to having a stronger fight response to flirting and teasing. ((I still have it internally, but thanks to emotional control I don't turn into a tsundere outside of dreams.)) My clothes changed with my age to better match the setting which meant this wasn't an event anymore; and Sinbad definitely wouldn't be an NPC anymore either. That meant that his flirting wasn't going to be some scripted line from an AI... It was going to be personalized.

When I got out of the water, I noticed that this area matched the Dungeons even more than the higher floors, but it didn't seem to be any specific Dungeon. I doubted there would be monsters based on how the dream felt. There would probably still be riddles and puzzles like in the Dungeons in the series. That renewed my excitement and I ran off to find where Sinbad went.

There were a bunch of broken columns that drew my attention. Since they were the only thing of interest, I decided to follow the path they were on. As I was running past them someone stepped out from behind one of the pillars and I ran into their raised hand -stopping me. Sinbad pulled back his hand from my forehead. "You really jumped down after me." He sounded amused. Just as my brain caught up to what happened, Sinbad gave me a playful smile. "That was really dangerous, you know?"

Sure, it was a 3 story drop, but this place was designed for fun and it was a dream. I felt my face heating up. I was self conscious from him talking to me, and smiling at me, and just as insulted by his words that implied I was incapable. "If it's so dangerous why did you jump?!"

He laughed, and turned around to start walking more through the Dungeon, "This is going to be fun."

"You're not going to apologize for hitting my forehead?!" He just kept walking while I followed behind him and continued complaining. And then my alarm woke me up.

((Wasn't sure if I was going to post this today or wait a bit longer to spread things out more, but I feel like I can't work on the next thing while I'm still sitting on this. I've had it ready to post for 6 months after all, and then just kinda didn't do it))

[morimakesfanart]

quick question so for the one shots will u take request?

Yes. I am taking requests and suggestions. Patrons on patreon will get priority with suggestions. It's taking me a while to get the first ones done. I like to have at least 3 "chapters" done when I start posting a series.

The request list so far: -Reverse Isekai AU with Sinbad & all 8 Generals -Mori turned into a 6 or 7 y/o -Mori shrunk down small enough to fit in Sin's pocket -Many requests for Adventures AU so I'll be testing a bunch of set ups until I figure out what I want to do for a full fic

I do have some ideas of my own that I'll be doing too. One of which is already written with one art done, but I can't start this series with a NSFW one shot since I can't post most of it on tumblr I want to have at least 2 requests done before I post one that one.

I have the Reverse Isekai AU drafted but I'm not happy with it yet. I'm struggling with keeping it light hearted since I will suddenly have to support 9 more people which will absolutely make us live paycheck to paycheck even if some of them can find work. I do have this some drawings I did while trying to figure it out what would be actually enjoyable for the AU:

EDITED TO ADD: If you have any suggestions for things you want to see in the isekai AU please send them to me or DM them (whichever). One Anon sent an idea of Sin messing with Snapchat filters and it definitely helped!

[morimakesfanart]

Can we just picture sinbad carrying a small mori and being all nervous because she’s smaller then normal children ( I remember you wrote that you looked younger then your normal age so I just assumed you would be smaller then other kids)

I was definitely smaller than the other kids. The teachers often had us line up by height and I was always at the end of the line. When I was 7 I was asked if I'd be starting Kindergarten (Primary school for 5-6 y/o's) soon.

I don't think Sinbad would be nervous about Mori's size since he already knows their adult height is short. He helped take care of a lot of kids before becoming a Dungeon capturer, and he picked up 4 y/o Pisti without much thought. He would probably have some concerns about child Mori, but I don't see him showing them in front of Mori.

The image of Sin holding little Mori is really cute though, so I had to draw it :D

After this, Mori probably got angry at Sinbad because his metal vessels would be hard and uncomfortable to be pressed against. She would absolutely complain until he put her down, and refuse to let him hold her again as long as he's wearing them.

[morimakesfanart]

We need adult Mori meeting baby Sinbad aww it would be sooo cute. 🥹 honestly Sinbad was such a cute kid it breaks me that it’s not there anymore

Oh absolutely! it's a shame he couldn't stay cute and innocent forever. This makes me miss being a teacher. My favorite ages to teach were 11-13, but I also really loved teaching grade schoolers.

This does mean I'll be making a Baby Sinbad AU after Baby Mori AU. Mori will absolutely put themself in charge of child Sinbad. He's super curious, and Mori was a teacher. The Generals will also help, but I think Ja'far and Drakon will have their hands tied with making up for their King not being around for a while.

It also feels like there will have to be an AU where they're both children. This is going to be very cute and wholesome. But I wonder if they will get along as children XD When both kids are the type to be the leader of their group it normally leads to them clashing. There's going to be a long time before I get to that though.

[morimakesfanart]

Since Ja’far has a soft spot for children would he be fond of child Mori and I have a feeling that he is gonna to be the one that is going to take care of them most of the time

I agree. He's also one of the most responsible people in the Kingdom so he will be the one to make sure baby Mori is taken care of. :3 However, Ja'far does have a lot of work to do in the White Capricorn Tower so he will need to hand off Baby Mori periodically. Hina has children, but since Mori is scared of bigger kids I don't know how that will go. Because of the waves she will gravitate to Sinbad, but knowing me, she will want to spend a ton of time with Drakon once she learns he doesn't eat people. I was fascinated by snakes an lizards and loved dragons (still am/do) so she will definitely be excited that Drakon is a lizard man.

I know your probably working on Sindria’s Prophet right now but I’m curious what one shot would be next

I'm mainly focusing on Sindria's Prophet, but when I need breaks I've been working on the next part of the Reverse Isekai AU, and Baby Mori AU. The Baby Mori AU will take place sometime after what will be ch37 of Sindria's Prophet, so I'll probably post the Reverse Isekai AU p2 first. It's going to be a collection of small moments and summaries. One of which is going to be about my cats because I love them. They each have very specific feelings about any guest we've had over -especially Coconut- so I think it would be fun to talk about how Sinbad and the Generals have to cope with them. The rest will mainly be based on other asks I've gotten for the AU :3

I've had a NSFW wetdream fully written out for months now. I've been slowly making art for it. I want to make sure I have a few more SFW chapters out before I post it. I do have several NSFW one shots that I plan on making. Some will be more vanilla, some will lean more into the sides of BDSM that I like. Part of what I like about BDSM is the explicit consent, trust, and care needed for everyone involved to enjoy it, so none will lean into the fantasy the BDSM creates. They will be Mori & Sin intentionally trying it out together :3

The next chapter of Sindria's Prophet will include a scene that shows some of how I handle being a soft Dom so you can use that to get a little bit of an idea of how those one shots will feel
