Few differents between Canvas and Original :[What we know so far]

1-Bus graveyard gang were a little older (16)

*Aiden had a rented van to drive,

2-

Ashlyn's parents weren't military, they worked in a family friend's restaurant.

--Ashlyn used to work as a dancer on Saturdays ( she's still under the age but the owner allowed her because he knows how much she likes dancing, as long as she covers her face )

3- Ash's parents design 

(Mike fans how you feelin rn )

4-Ashlyn

Ashlyn was more like an introvert who hates socializing than someone who just doesn't like people(and kinda a little shy lol)

However, she still had that "done with everything" energy ✨

5- Witch Curse

In canvas, the curse didn't start with the sorrel weed house, it's originally from a trap in the witch house 1642 

*there wasn't a tour guide (no jasmine) they went in all by themselves

And unlike O. Ashlyn hearing phantom noises since childhood, C. Ash started hearing them in the witch house -(and got possessed immediately)-

6- Colored speech-bubbles:

Ashlyn > green

Aiden  > yellow 

Tyler  > brown 

Taylor  > orange 

Logan > blue 

7-Aiden :

Instead of our lovely cupcake we have in Original, Canvas Aiden was known as the crazy psycho of the school who no one dares to get near him (except Ben ofc), -- like a suspicious evil weirdo --

BUT the funny thing is that C.Aiden fears hights while O. Aiden is suic/idal careless who likes jumping (lmao)

8- Teacher

Instead of Thomas, it was a normal kind teacher called Mr.T, who tried to push Ashlyn to socialize.

9- T twins

-changed race, 

Tyler's personality was a little different ( less grumpy)

Sadly, the available Canvas chapters ended at this panel before the website moves to Original, so that's all what I know (if you know anything else tell)

END OF WHATEVER THIS WAS, THANKS FOR READING 🩵🫡

[laithraihan]

Would you be comfortable sharing any personal info (age, profession, relationship status, etc...)? Completely understand if you're not but it's always really interesting learning about the lives of ppl I admire. Again, if that's not something you wanna do it's totally understandable! I love your art!!

Ah thank you so much 🫶 and sure I dont mind sharing some stuff but to be very honest Im not an interesting person, so I'm sorry in advance for disappointing you.

So I'm a woman (or something like that) even though I use a male pen name for art, Im 22 years old, 151cm (4'11"), the eldest daughter who has two teenage siblings who are both taller than me and make fun of me for being short. I do not have a profession and I do not go to school due to a disability I will not disclose. Im a lesbian engaged to a butch, we've been together for almost 4 years (our anniversary is in August)

My favorite season is winter because all the bugs are dead and I despise summer because the bugs are alive. Im also really scared of butterflies for some reason. Im scared of winged bugs in general. Ive never seen a cockroach in my life but I'd probably kill myself if I saw one. I really hate bugs. The winters are harsh here but I like walking outside when theres light snow falling at night. Im also a bit obsessed with Christmas lights but I dont celebrate Christmas, I dont follow any religion in general but my family is Muslim so Ive been raised with that. If I could just put Christmas lights in my room all year then I would do that. They look really pretty.

About my ethnicity I think everyone knows Im Algerian already, well Ive only been to Algeria once when I was like 8 years old so I dont really remember anything. All I know is that my uncle would keep telling my dad that I convinced him to stop smoking and that he's eternally grateful for that but I literally cannot remember what I did or said back then so I just pretended I knew what he was talking about. Anyway. Id like to go there again one day. I most likely will go soon in the future so it makes me happy to think about it.

My first language is French and Im somewhat fluent in English but it needs more work. Whenever I speak English I have to think harder about the words that come out of my mouth and I start saying things that dont make sense. But my pronunciation is good so other people just assume Im fluent. Also I understand Derja (Algerian Arabic) when people talk to me out loud but I cant form sentences and respond back so I just answer people in French. I know how to read Arabic script and I understand basic words but again I cant form sentences. As for Japanese I can only read Hiragana and Katakana and a bit of Kanji, and my understanding of the language is worse than Arabic, so I practice by translating Japanese song lyrics, reading news articles and talking with Japanese users online

Honestly I dunno what else to say, I dont really have any special skills or anything like that. Unless you count memorizing all the metro stations in Montreal but thats only because I had to use public transport all the time when I was a kid because my parents never felt like driving me to my appointments. At that point I probably visited every single station because I had to go to many random places. I dont have a drivers license but I prefer walking to places in general even though there are no stores near my neighborhood, but I think it's better for me because I get to walk more. I think I really like the idea of travelling in general but I dont have friends for that, my parents also wouldnt allow me to hang out with friends so it's a bit unfortunate

Oh and lately Ive been enjoying making eggs for some reason, I think Im good at doing that. But I only cook whenever Im hungry and I rarely feel hungry so I dont cook many eggs. I also dont like cleaning dishes so I avoid making huge meals in general. I dont really eat much in the first place but I still like food. I really like going to restaurants too. I just like going outside in general. I like listening to music and talking with people, normal stuff like that. Im running out of things to say so I'll probably just stop there.

[apollos-olives]

Similar to that other anon, having a hard time finding Palestinian restaurant to support where I live because things are only listed as Middle Eastern when i search. But there’s a middle eastern ice cream and dessert shop near me, and after the strike I want to see if they have any Palestinian desserts. Ive been reading about Palestinian desserts, but do You have any favorites? Sorry for the long wording and if you’ve answered about desserts before.

this is less available in most places but i love knafeh!!! i really recommend trying it. these are more broader arab foods but i also really love atayef and baklava, so i recommend those as well!

[calliope-king]

I’ve lived in Amman, Jordan for the last year, and since I’m going back home to the states in a week, I wanted to share some of my favorite places in the city (I’m not gonna pretend like I’m a local or that I know everything, but still wanted to share these!).

First of all, cafes. This one is very important as it made up 70% of my going out experiences in Amman. My favorite is Sade Cafe in Jabal Amman. They have tons of cats that wander in and out of the cafe. The staff is really nice. It’s never really crowded. Also they have chess boards! (Which is really a plus since a lot of places don’t let you play chess or cards because they think you are gambling). Finally, the Mexican hot chocolate is fire. Literally.

Close second is Manara. The view from the terrace particularly around sunset is amazing, and it’s also super big so you can go there to study without having to order anything. That said I love the Spanish lattes there. And! They have punch cards for free drinks. Don’t forget those! They also sometimes I believe do film screenings on the roof, and I highly recommend those.

Shout out to Jungle Fever as well! Near the big blue King Abdullah Masjid. The art gallery below is really cool, and the cookies there are very good (by Western dessert in Amman standards).

Speaking of desserts, trying kanafa is a must in Jordan! No doubt in your first week (or even day) in the country you will hit up Habibahs. The kanafa there is excellent (although I have to admit the best I’ve ever had I watched someone make by hand over an actual fire in the woods). However! I personally believe the kanafa at Bab Al-Yemen (or as my friend once accidentally said Yab Al-Bamen) is better. Do yourself a favor, go there and get the kanafa with the Karak tea.

My personal favorite Arabic dessert is Awameh, but I never found any amazing places for this in Amman. If you know any, let me know!

Final and most important point on desserts, if you have a birthday coming up in Jordan, order the ice cream cake at Bekdash (the berry cheesecake flavor one). I believe there are multiple branches in the city, but we always go to the one in Wast Al-Balad.

Now that I have said the words Bab Al-Yemen, I got to say… I think it’s overrated. It’s worth going to, don’t get me wrong. The fahsa slaps. But I don’t think it’s as good or as cheap as everyone makes it out to be. Also sometimes… they try to scam you.

On the topic of scams, in my opinion, avoid all the restaurants above the ground level in Balad. The food is not that good and is overpriced because I guess it’s farther from the ground?? If you want to eat in Balad, go to Sharezade. The arayes there are so good, and I don’t even like arayes. When I say avoid all places above ground level, I am not talking about the Ezwetti Initiative (although they are more of a quick sandwich stand). Really anything up that set of stairs (the cafes and shops) is good. There’s a cute Palestinian jewelry and clothing shop up there too, although I can’t remember the name.

I will probably add to this later, but for now, a quick lightning round.

Alloy, it’s a jewelry shop in Jabal Amman. Everything there is really cute and unique. It’s all vintage or handcrafted by the man who owns the shop. Definitely check it out for you or your loved ones.

Shisha! I love Ayyam Zaman on Rainbow Street, mostly for nostalgia reasons. Also Beit Baladna in Lwebdeh is nice, but some of my friends have warned me against the tiramisu there.

You have to go to Bait Al-Roman. It’s a juice place, and it’s also in Jabal Amman. A worker there once recommended to me the Mango Passionfruit flavor, and I have not found a better one yet.

If you happen to be in the Sports City/Shmeisani area, go to Tash bakery. Specifically, you have to order their zataar manaqeesh with the stuffed cheese crusts. Best thing I’ve ever had. Your welcome.

Maybe this is cliche, but my favorite spot in the city is the Citadel. Please go. Particularly around sunset.

That’s it for now! Of course, listen to locals above me. Also, pretty much all food in restaurants pale in comparison to food made at home here. Seriously, try to get adopted by a local family here and let them feed you mansaf, msakhan, and malouba at home (and makmoura too if you are lucky). Let me know if anyone has any other recommendations!! 💕

[formulaonedirection]

hiiii, I am travelling to Singapore for the Grand Prix this year and was wondering if you had any recs of things I should do while I’m there? 🩷

helloooooo omg how fun!! I love the Singapore GP it's really fun and it's such an accessible circuit. Tbh I'm the worst person to ask because a) i love niche boring stuff b) the only things my friends and I do in Singapore is eat and hang out because that IS the national past time but let me see hmmmm

I'll just recommend some stuff that's not like. Gardens by the Bay. Sentosa. Universal Studios. The Zoo. All VERY nice places tbh and highly recommend but these are just some tiny Nadia-based reccs that you might not get from a google-able list I guess?? If you're here for a short time and you're only at the Marina Bay Sands/CBD area that's totally fine but just know that that IS the most expensive area of Singapore.

Well if you're here for a while and you're a history person I'd recommend going to the National Museum and then right down the road from there is Peranakan Museum which is tiny but fun. The National Museum is one of my favourite buildings in Singapore I just think it's so beautiful. And if you REALLY like history and museums I'd super recommend the Asian Civilisations Museum which is criminally underrated imo. If you're staying near the circuit the National Gallery is literally right there you can even pop in in the morning before the race, there's some really good local and southeast asian art in there if that's your thing.

My personal favourite place to have a wander is the Botanic Gardens. If you're a picnic person just grab some bits and bobs from Cluny Court (Plain Vanilla cupcakes are soooo good. And there's another really good bakery on the second floor) and have a nice picnic and stroll in the garden. It's pretty massive so make sure you know what you're getting into. Do NOT go on a weekend. That's crucial.

The whole Kampong Glame/Arab Street/Haji Lane is a vibe 100%. Get some boba from PlayMade, get some teh sarbat from the old man that's been serving tea there forever. There's this really good burger place like right near the mosque it's called Mahmud's Tandoor I'm obsessed with it. DO NOT let the Turkish restaurants hassle you be strong! There's some thrift stores there too but it's mostly like really good food, really nice art. The Malay Cultural Centre is like a really nice space too if you need a break.

If you want local food I'd rather you go to Maxwell's then Lau Pa Sat I actually HATE Lau Pa Sat it's theeee definition of a tourist trap. Newton Food Centre which is where they filmed that scene in Crazy Rich Asians is like fine too if you're looking for local food. If you want LOCAL LOCAL come to Al Azhar at Bukit Timah because I'm literally telling people that the steamboat fish that's there is Michellin star good. That's also a good frog porridge place down the road if you're feeling adventurous.

And my last recc is the Tiong Bahru area which is the area I used to work at. If you want cute little souvenirs or local bits and bobs there's a very cute store called Cat Socrates that I buy everything from. The Plain Vanilla there is also BEAUTIFUL it's my favourite cafe to work at. There's also like beautiful street art all along the whole area so it's just nice to walk around cause it's all just nice shophouses and art. And then there's Tiong Bahru Market which has some of the best local food. Go in the morning for this.

If you want like fancy food recs that aren't local food but are like actually good and not a scam, my personal favs are Miznon on Stanley Street, Ms Maria and Mr Singh, Five Oars Coffee Roasters on Upper East Coast. Oooh if you go to Neptune on East Coast Road you can see the pretty Peranakan buildings.

UHM YEAH! Singapore is really beautiful but VERY warm please bring sunscreen. PLEASEEEE venture outside the circuit area if you have the time because while that area is gorgeous I just think places like Haji Lane, or Tiong Bahru, or Bukit Timah, or East Coast Road are just so much more local. (Any Singaporeans reading this you know what I mean la. Nice Local. I'm not gonna recommend them to go to the coffee shop downstairs your house k)

大家好! I caught up with my parents over the long weekend. We revisited the restaurant that serves delicious lobster noodles and ordered a feast. Mummy doesn't take wheat noodles because they cause inflammation in her joints, so instead of yi mian (ee fu noodles), we had bee hoon (thin rice vermicelli). Besides lobster noodles, we also ordered asparagus stirfried with garlic, siew mai, hum sui gok (glutinous rice dumplings filled with meat) and dan tat (egg tarts). The noodles, siew mai and dan tat were divine as usual, and the hum sui gok was surprisingly good! We chatted nonstop and had a truly wonderful time.

Pa and I met again on Sunday. I decided to try the ban mian (board noodles) from a new stall. Whilst ordering, I noticed that they also sell cai fan. Some of the dishes looked pretty good, so I may try them in future. After breaking the egg yolk and mixing it into the soup (egg porn?), I took my first bite. This wasn't the best ban mian I've tasted, but it was decent. It's hard for stalls to mess up ban mian anyway. What I liked was that the soup and minced pork weren't too salty. After finishing the meal, Pa and I had local tea (for him) and coffee (for me) and spent the afternoon chatting about current affairs and the Olympics.

On Monday, I decided to walk over to the newly renovated coffee shop near my place to try their Japanese stews. Getting there took 5 minutes. The stall offered several options which came with rice. I decided on the miso salmon stew with carrot, radish and potato. Because I was ambitious and wanted to be full, I added a side of tofu, brinjal and mushroom stew, which is another option that comes with rice. OMG big mistake, this was so filling, I was so stuffed that I had to skip dinner. Aside from that, the meal was downright delicious. The salmon was very flakey and tender and the tofu and mushroom stew was incredible. Definitely heading back to try their other menu items!

Tuesday afternoon was scorching by lunch time so off it was to the local supermarket cum food hall. They had a new sushi combo so I chose it and picked up salmon sashimi. Besides their California roll with no mayo (yum), their new maki had salmon, avocado, crabstick, cooked prawn, lettuce and rice. It was quite nice. They had panfried saba and rice as well as just saba today. I may try 1 of them next time if they're available. After my quick meal and local coffee, it was time to head home and continue working. To me, this is better than fastfood. Not only could I have something nutritious, delicious and filling, I made it home in time.

The official death toll in Gaza is nearing 40,000, with over 92,000 wounded. Don't understand the forever ceasefire negotiations when Hamas had previously already agreed to them? It was Israel that reneged and continued its genocide in Gaza. Dunno about you but it isn't a good look for the US. It kinda makes them look a tad incompetent when they've boasted about their exceptionalism? My prayers continue for the Palestinians. 下次见!

crystal NOT in nagasaki, singapore: part five

Hello again! We've finally reached the final part of my time in Singapore. After this post, I'll talk next about the few days I spent in Thailand before returning to my home in Japan. Please look forward to it!

On my ninth day in Singapore, I was able to explore a bit of Singapore's Chinatown and Little India. As I mentioned previously, there are many different ethnic groups living in Singapore, including Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Muslim people. We saw some of Singapore's Middle Eastern and Muslim culture on Arab Street, and now we were able to explore more of the Chinese and Indian culture in Singapore.

In Chinatown we explored some souvenir shops, where I searched a bit desperately for novelty/authentic mahjong sets, but unfortunately wasn't able to find any. We also were able to see the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, a temple for Chinese Buddhism. It was very grand and ornately decorated. I particularly loved looking at the beautiful tapestry behind the Buddha woven with gold thread. The temple was very similar to many temples I've seen in Japan, and it was interesting to look for the differences between Japanese and Chinese Buddhism.

After this, we spent some time walking around Little India. There were some very beautiful cultural murals painted on the buildings.

We also went shopping at a huge mall in Little India called Mustafa Centre. It had TONS of really cheap foods and souvenirs. I felt like I walked forever and there were still more and more aisles of various foods laid before me. It was heaven.

In the evening, we returned to my friend's home to rest and eat another homemade dinner with her family. Our trip in Singapore was coming to an end and it was incredibly fun but tiring, so it was nice to take a quiet rest for the night.

On my final day in Singapore, one friend and I broke off from the group to go to Bird Paradise, an entire zoo park near Singapore Zoo and Night Safari dedicated to the various bird species of the world. Each section was separated by continent or region, so we got to have a world tour of many kinds of exotic birds!

We started in Antarctica, where there was an indoor penguin tank.

Next we walked through the Australian section. I don't know much about the types of birds we saw, but here's some pictures I took.

I was also able to see a real kookaburra! They're much bigger than I thought, and very round.

Since the tropical temperature in Singapore is very hot and humid, there were small air-conditioned buildings separating each of the sections. These buildings usually had small educational exhibits and diagrams about the birds that you could look at while you rested in the cool air. In one of the buildings there were beanbags all across the floor and giant screens showing bird mating dance documentary footage. It was so funny and cool.

In another building, you could rest on benches shaped like birds' beaks, which we had a lot of fun with.

And these giant eggs:

Anyway, I don't remember what region they're from, but enjoy these other pictures of birds I saw.

At the far back of the park we reached the African section, which had flamingos and beautiful macaws. They were so colorful and much larger than I thought they would be! I tried to take a picture with one of them that was waddling around on the path to show their size, but it's still hard to really understand from the picture just how massive they were.

They also held an educational bird show at a large amphitheater in the park. We got to hear a parrot sing happy birthday and witness a beautiful great hornbill fly across the arena. For the show's finale, they released a bunch of the birds into the center of the amphitheater and it was so chaotic and fun.

After that, we finished up at Bird Paradise and went out in search of lunch. We decided to try Jollibee, a Filipino fast food restaurant specializing in fried chicken. I originally thought that this shop only existed in Singapore, but they actually have shops across Asia, with shops even in Canada, the US, Saudi Arabia, and Italy! My Filipino friend in Japan told me that Jollibee is one of the only fast food chains in the world that outperforms McDonald's in their native country.

Since I have a Filipino friend in Japan and my partner is American Filipino, I had been interested in trying it while I'm in Asia and it was really good! A distinct part of the meal that makes it so loved by Filipino people is that it comes with rice as a side, which is wrapped in paper to the left of the chicken. Thank you Philippines for making such a delicious fast food chain <3

At the end of the day, we met back up with all of our friends, new and old, and enjoyed some drinks at a bar. I was surprised to find that drinks in Singapore are pretty expensive, and public consumption of alcohol is banned after midnight! So the drinking culture in Singapore is fairly reserved. As someone who enjoys a few social drinks and an early bedtime, I was completely happy with this.

I ordered Singapore's signature drink, the Singapore sling, made from gin, cherry liqueur, Cointreau, Benedictine, pineapple juice, lime juice, grenadine syrup, and Angostura bitters. If I remember correctly, it cost something like $17 which was kind of crazy, but it was really tasty. According to Wikipedia, it was created by a Chinese bartender at the Raffles Hotel around 1915. I didn't order my drink there, but the Raffles Hotel still stands today, and is still famous for their Singapore slings, which draws in many tourists each year. Apparently they sell 800-1200 Singapore slings every day, and the drink makes up about 70% of the bar's total revenue!

After a night of fun and delicious drinks, we headed to my friend's home on our last night in Singapore content and a little tipsy. The next morning we headed to the airport bright and early to catch our flights to Thailand, the next part of our adventure!

We've finally made it to the end of my time in Singapore, after five long parts. Thank you for sticking with me through all of my long posts. <3

I'm so so grateful to Chrystal's family for not only allowing me to stay in their home, but showing me around, feeding me delicious food, and overall taking very good care of me. It meant so much to me and made this one of the most memorable and fun trips of my entire life. I'm forever grateful to have been accepted into their family for this short time.

Finally in the next part, I'll talk about the few days I spent in Thailand in the first few days of 2024. Stay tuned!

Discovering the Finest Seafood Dining: Ibn Al Bahr and Beyond

Discovering the Finest Seafood Dining: Ibn Al Bahr and Beyond

Dubai is renowned for its luxurious lifestyle, stunning architecture, and culinary diversity. Among the myriad of dining options available, seafood restaurants hold a special place, offering the freshest catches and the most delectable dishes. This guide delves into the highlights of seafood dining in Dubai, focusing on some of the top locations, including the illustrious Ibn Al Bahr and the vibrant Club Vista Mare.

Ibn Al Bahr: A Jewel Among Seafood Restaurants

Ibn Al Bahr is a standout among seafood restaurants in Dubai, known for its authentic Lebanese seafood cuisine and breathtaking views of the Arabian Gulf.

when this all over, we all gon take a big trip and see Palestine and try the food. I heard y’all got hella bakeries and restaurants down there and I’m always down for food. I tried some qibreh for the first time the other day and I almost died from how good the food was. Its was at a Middle Eastern restaurant near me and it was expensive, but it was BEYOND WORTH IT OMG. Y’all Arabs got such a beautiful culture y’all. No wonder these westerners hate y’all, they’re jealous. The food, the music, the weddings, omg, I can’t even deal with how amazing Arab cultures are. And I’m an outsider, I’m a sub Saharan African looking in, I can only imagine what it’s like being immersed in such beautiful Arab culture like omg. I can’t wait for this to be over, we gon take a tour of Palestineeeeee

omg i'm so glad you could try some of our food, we are so proud of it!!! food is very dear to us and the harvest is very important, and it's one of the things that palestinians really cling onto, so we're so happy you are enjoying it!! and yessss once palestine is freed please come visit and eat as much as you'd like! we love sharing our culture and we're so flattered when people love our food. sending lots of love 🫶🫶

so i went to portugal

i'm writing this just to keep track of my thoughts after the day, and i have nowhere else i can write on my phone besides google docs and the notes app

technically its 6 AM on a thursday, but i'll be writing about wedsneday. i was just so tired that i could barely do anything

i had spent 10 hours on the plane, it was enough to watch 2 movies and sleep a little, but i only got 1 hour or sleep more or less

so when we got down from the plane in Lisbon, it felt like it was still tuesday for me

anyway, i ate lunch at some restaurant, and i felt bad for the servers because they didn't seem to speak portuguese very well. there are a lot of immigrants in here, especially indian immigrants. and the language i speak, think of it as being the brazilian equivalent of a thick new jersey accent.

so i tried to mask my accent a little bit for the sake of everyone else, but on a table near me there was a group of brazilian tourists who did not do that, and the servers had to call the manager (or owner? idk) who was portuguese so he'd be able to understand what they wanted to order

there was also a table with two american tourists, who ironically did not seem to have trouble communicating even though they did not speak portuguese at all.

anyway, after that i went to see Castelo de São Jorge (castle of saint george) which has a lot of history. it was originally built by arabs in the 11th century, and just stayed there for the most part of lisbon's history. back then Lisbon was called Al-Uxbuna. you could say that the castle is older than the city of Lisbon itself, or at least the name.

but before even the arabs settled there, it was home to romans and it was called Olissipo; and then the visigoths settled and called it Aschbouna. so the city is very ancient even though it went by many names across history.

(i also saw a cool looking peacock)
