For the character ask: seeing as you were just talking about him Jesse or (idk how much you're still into this film but I think it would he fun) your favourite Taqwacores character

Both? Both is good.

Jesse:

favorite thing about them

my love for Jesse is mainly a vibes thing? like he lives in fanon for me. he just seems like a good bro. good bear hugs probably. i also see him being the guy that curses the most

least favorite thing about them

NOT ENOUGH SCREENTIME (also something something o66 but we don’t subscribe to that trope on this blog actually)

favorite line

“No recon? No air-support? We don’t know what we’re up against!” —> because i love him rising up against krell (also everything else he said in the umbara arc)

Honourable mention: “Where there’s a farm, there’s usually a farmer.”

brOTP

KIX

ОТР

i love him being a whore actually. i need him and kix to be with a different person every night. they are both bi. or pan. whatever. if it’s consenting they are fucking it.

nOTP

any clone honestly, im not a clone shipper. generally, i don’t ship him with any canon characters

Random headcanon

he’s the type of guy that cusses, drinks, smokes, fucks, but also sweet as shit, will give you his coat and know when you need a hug or a coffee. just,, good bro. in a modern au he’d be punk.

unpopular opinion

i don’t think i have one? like i said, im just here for his vibe lol

song i associate with them

Jessie’s Girl hahahahahaha

favorite picture of them

Jehangir:

favorite thing about them

his dichotomy. this is even more evident in the book, from Yusuf’s point of view. Yusuf glorifies Jehangir, seeing him as this vision, this enigma, the one guy who might actually have it all figured out. this goal that seems unreachable. but then he gets incoherently drunk, or has a bunch of one night stands and both Yusuf and Jehangir question how good of a person he actually is

that perfect imperfection does it for me. he tries to figure it out, to do good, but he’s so human in the midst of it all

least favorite thing about them

his dichotomy. (see above ☝️)

favorite line

i lent the book to a friend of mine, but once i have it back i will reblog this with about 20 quotes lololol

brOTP

Yusuf!!

ОТР

rabeya (I guess?)

nOTP

fatima

random headcanon

don’t know if this is a headcanon or just canon, but he has a super sick style and is really fucking hot, but he doesn’t believe that himself (actually i think it’s canon, yea, lololol)

unpopular opinion

again, idk, there isn’t really a fandom for this i feel? so it’s hard to have an unpopular opinion. but generally, Jehangir is like the embodiment of punk, and part of the point of punk is to get people angry, so just liking Jehangir as a character could be seen as like a negative?? idk?

song i associate with them

anything punk, really. mainly, “bad reputation”, “american idiot”, “wolf in sheep’s clothing” and a bunch of other stuff. I also sometimes think of him when listening to maneskin

(i lov him hihi <3)

[inkstainedhandswithrings]

hi all so I don’t think I told you, but I’ve had the Taqwacore book for like a week now and anyway I just finished it.

excuse me while I crawl under a rock and cry for 13-28 business days before dying of dehydration.
