[outstanding-quotes]

The poet finds that he is unable to write, and yet is forced to write. Writing helps him, yet it is writing that makes him suffer because of his love, for which only writing can provide the cure. A double paradox. Love leads to poetry while poetry creates love and preserves it.

Mark Musa, from the introduction to Selections from the Canzoniere

[snarky-art]

Perhaps the domino gowns of s5...they....they need a bit of love 😭

Couldn’t not upload my favorite pairs too while they’re in such nice attire, as a treat

Anyway, bestie these were WILD to look at

Redesigning these meant trying my best to keep certain shapes, and then saying fuck it for most of them and just lore dumping through dresswear instead

Musa, Flora, and Tecna are in nice formal wear with some traditional elements and general stuff representative of their respective homes as guardian fairies and members of the winx and Stella, Aisha, and Bloom are wearing formal wear that’s drenched in years of political context and a lot of it with handed down elements select to the leaders of the body of government

Stella’s is a hodgepodge of her own selection and custom tailoring and Aisha’s is a more modern take on traditional elements that she prefers her royal stylist to stick to as a way to stay on trend and match with what she likes

Lore stuff and some explanations for changed that I feel like justifying below the cut if you’re interested!:)

For Musa I went more Ming dynasty and tried a longer skirt but it just didn’t really look right to me, so pants it is. The only thing I ended up keeping from her og dress was a line down the middle on the upper part of the outfit.

Aisha has the green gem featured in her crown (the one for the heir of Androsia) and her parent’s headwear as I’ve featured in other pieces and has been shown in between the two diamond jewels in the same formal wear pieces and as is shown on her bracelets. I realized I never specified what those are symbolic of ahaaa

The two diamonds are for the land and the sea, each equal in size and color for the symbolism of equal emphasis and importance in the standing of the government, with the green circle being where they touch. The Diamond shape is to represent each form reaching for each other and outwards, encompassing all around it, and the dot where they drop into each other, making the surface of the sea. Aisha as heir is currently meant to represent this unity as she is the result of Land and Sea symbolically through her parents with the way Androsian government works, and she is meant to currently do what she can to represent all her subjects’ interests before she takes her final place as the representative for the Land Androsi (if she does take that position at all actually because there’s some political turmoil in my thing with how government works rn that I talk about some in this post but shhhh we’ll figure that out later)

Tecna’s is a purple girlie.

There are lots of natural ways to dye things purple on Zenith (they do a lot of it synthetically or magically now) so lots of traditional stuff is purple and lucky for Tecna, they, like anyone who loves purple, isn’t normal about the color and enjoys a lot of traditional Zenithian garb as a result since a lot of it has that.

Flora was much easier to do and less time consuming because she’s already a floral person and I could translate the shape easily into something close to traditional Lymphean garb from her area. The only shame here is I originally thought it would be nice to keep it more teal and green heavy since she so rarely gets the chance to wear those colors in canon when compared to her more pink heavy color palette, but I ended up caving to purplish petals instead.

Bloom is doing The Most here, and I wanted to intentionally make her kind of awkward in terms of hair size compared to her body and fit in particular. Bloom doesn’t do much with her hair usually outside of a half up half down, but she has her mom’s fiery red locks and she is doing her first Official Royal Outing and not only is she going to dress to the 9s in a way that is over the top by most modern government standings, wearing as many official emblematic bits, shapes, and references to the royal body as possible, she wants to channel some of what Marion has as an expert diplomat and make her proud and she thinks looking like her might help. I feel like Marion has the genuine confidence, zeal, and presence through decades of experience and proper study and general demeanor to pull off the big hair though whereas Bloom is basically doing the equivalent of trying on her parents big shoes when she’s a toddler. It looks more like dress up on her than it does an actual fitting look for her first attempt at politicking (and Diaspro does point this out to Bloom, and while it is meant to be snide, it’s also meant to be her way of trying to tell her she’s trying too hard and she shouldn’t. Her and Bloom have a decent acquaintanceship of sorts at this point. They’re never going to be best buds but they don’t hate each other or hold any ill will. Their personalities clash though and they know their limits with each other at this current point in their relationship. No Diaspro Sky Bloom bullshit here thanks) and she’s anxious and insecure and desperately wants to make her Dominion parents proud, especially because of her insecurities for the obvious (didn’t grow up royal, new to magic, still scene as the legacy child for Domino even though it’s been newly resurrected, also meaning this is it’s first big foray back into the Magical Realm’s political sphere and it HAS to show they’re still a capable powerhouse, which is also part of why the meeting is being held on Domino too, as a courtesy favor from the other governments involved in The Infinite Ocean stuff to help get its foot back in the door), but most importantly, because she’s not Daphne, and that’s a sore subject at this current time.

For Stella, I managed to keep some shapes from the og dress, but it’s very slight. Stella at this point is big on embracing her moon heritage as well and advocating more for causes beyond just Solarian government stuff, as in the government body that lumps Lunarian stuff in with it, and is working hard on raising Lunarian interests as separate things, reenforcing the idea that their culture and people are separate but equal despite the attempted assimilation under the planet of Solaria itself, an assimilation that still hasn’t been fully stopped or systematically eradicated. She has charisma and charm to spare and is taking the actual nitty gritty “not so fun” parts of politics (ie actual info on sociocultural and socioeconomic trends, trade info, statistics and projected trends, etc. basically all the stuff that isn’t “show up to parties and mingle”) much more seriously now and is wanting to make proper and viable change in multiple areas of her future government, and she’s working on properly finding her footing in the world of direct action and political savvy maneuvering through proper head on negotiations.

A "DESERT LION" NAMES ANALYSIS + name meanings related hcs PT.1

And PT.2 here:

DISCLAIMER: if any of the information reported here is wrong or even just partially incorrect/imprecise, feel free to let me know; as my main sources for this analysis were Wikipedia and baby names sites (lol).

Nasser Mustafa <English Wiki> (Nasir Mustafa/Nasir Mustafà <alternative dub names>):

Nasser Mustafa

The Arabic name Nasser (and his alternative spelling Nasir), means  "granter of victory".

Mustafa is one of the names of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and it means 'chosen', 'selected', 'appointed', 'preferred'. It's used both as a name and a surname.

Headcanons:

From the moment Nasser was born, his parents, family, and tribal clan had great expectations of him. As the only male son of the chief, his name perfectly reflects the high expectations his father and everyone else has for him.

As a result, Nasser's parents' frequent verbal criticism, whenever their unrealistic expectations didn't quite meet reality, began to take a major toll on his psychological well-being from an early age. He began to link his self-worth to his efficiency and capabilities so much that soon negative self-talk, anxiety, and burnout became recurring struggles for him.

Whether it's in school, sports, personal relationships, or generally just life, failing is his worst fear.

He has a complicated relationship with Messer, but other than that he (tries and) gets along with everyone (probably due to his desperate need to be liked and fulfill the expectations his family has, or perhaps because he feels extremely lonely and vulnerable).

___________________________________________ ___ __ _

Far Farouk <English Wiki> (Faraz Farooq <alternative dub names>):

Faraz Farouk

Faraz is a Persian gender neutral name that means “elevation”, and figuratively “one whose condition in life is improving”.

Farouk is an alternative spelling of the Arabic surname Farooq, which literally means "the one who distinguishes between right and wrong."

Headcanons:

He's quite equilibrated in his way of living life.

His parents are kind and generous, as sharing what they have is their biggest joy-bringer. They're proud and supportive of their son's talent in making date cakes and encourage him to explore this culinary passion he possesses.

His father is a doctor and his mother a lawyer and both couldn't care less if their son chooses to pursue a high-status career like their own. They love him and his little sister so much that whatever brings a smile to their children's faces brings a smile to their own.

He was raised to be very objective, not easily swayable by illogical thinking and common opinions.

He's friendly with anyone, but he specifically enjoys hanging out with Musa, Djamel, Messer, and Seiyd.

___________________________________________ ___ __ _

Bjorn Kyle <English Wiki> (a super random name choice imo) (Bilal Kalil/Bilial Kalil <alternative dub names>):

Bilal Kalil

Bilal is both a name and a surname of Arabic/African origin. It's meaning varies from site to site, but the main are "full moon", "moist", "water" and "refreshment". Bilal is also linked to the name of a companion of the prophet Muhammad who became the first person to call Muslims to prayer.

Kalil is a less common variant of the Arabic name/surname Khalil, which means "friend", "companion".

Headcanons:

Bilal is not the friendliest and most approachable guy per se, but once you gain his trust and friendship, you can be sure to have a loyal friend.

His parents are affluent and successful Qatari and they have high expectations for their older son (he has younger twin siblings, a sister, and a brother).

He received the best care while growing up, attended prestigious schools, ate high-quality food, and wore refined clothes. Everything was designed to be perfect, except for one crucial element absent from his flawless lifestyle: his parents' support and unconditional love.

Bjorn always feels like a burden and believes he never lives up to his parents' expectations. Their cold and distant parenting left Bjorn feeling insecure and introverted, and he craves love more than he'd care to admit. The few friends he had growing up were carefully chosen by his family to align with their ambitious and success-driven social circle. They were sons of doctors, politicians, lawyers, etc., and didn't share any of Bjorn's interests or hobbies.

To add fuel to the fire, Bjorn realized early on that he didn't quite have an eye for the opposite sex like his so-called friends had, but needless to say, his environment was far from safe and supportive.

He knows very well what his family's stance on homosexuality is and he's already given up the prospect of living a happy domestic life with someone he actually loves a long time ago. He's terrified of what kind of consequences his eventual coming out would bring and prefers to behave under what he thinks is cowardice, rather than die at his parents' hands.

If he were to choose who he's closer to he'd probably pick Nasser and Zack.

He sympathizes deeply with the first, due to how similar their parents are in terms of how fake they are in loving and caring for them.

He thinks of him and Zack as like the moon and the sun. Zack is the sun in Bjorn's eyes because he's a whirlwind of pure warm energy, easy to be around, and genuine, as opposed to the kids he was forced to befriend. Whenever the darkness threatens to eat Bjorn alive, Zack becomes a beacon of light capable of leading the way out with his uninhibited optimism.

When he's with the Moroccan, the Qatari-born has finally the fleeting sensation of being free and safe.

Djamel Djammadu <English Wiki> (Jamila Wali/Jamel Jamald <alternative dub names>):

Djamel Jammal

Djamel is the North African variant of the Arabic given name Jamil, which means "beauty", "radiant" and "handsome".

(Jamila is the feminine form of the masculine Arabic given name Jamil, and Jamel is very likely another variation or transliteration of the latter.)

Wali is a name based on Arabic short form of Wali Allah "friend of God", "protector". However, this surname is more common in Kashmiri Pundits than in Muslims.

(The surname Djammadu doesn't even exist on the internet, and Jamald, again, is possibly just another variation of the name Jamil. The only other surname I could find something about is Jammal; from the Arabic personal name Jammāl meaning "camel driver").

Headcanons:

Djamel, the youngest of five siblings, has been spoiled rotten by his family and neighbors. His cuteness has definitely played a part, but he is also a very social kid, as he enjoys interacting with people.

Adults around him are always surprised when he engages in conversations about their country's economy and tourist industry, with extreme ease. He dislikes it so much when people automatically assume that just because he's young, he doesn't have the ability to talk confidently about certain matters.

Camels are his favorite animals, and because of this preference, he and Zack quickly became friends. Djamel is greatly interested and fascinated by his teammate's knowledge of such creatures, even though they don't get to speak about it often as Zack usually cuts the whole conversation short, as if embarrassed to be overheard talking about such things. Weird.

The teammates he's closer to are Zack, Far, Rajab, and Majidi.

___________________________________________ ___ __ _

Musa Sirer <English Wiki> (Musa Sylla/Musa Saila <alternative dub names>):

Musa Sylla

Musa is a male name of Semitic origin, it's associated with the biblical Hebrew name Moses. In Arabic it takes the meaning of "saved from drowning".

Sylla is a surname prevalently found in Guinea, from the name of the Sylla clan of the Soninke people, it can be interpreted as meaning 'horse people'.

Headcanons:

He can't swim for shit, lol. His parents tried when he was a toddler, but he just couldn't bring himself to stay calm when surrounded by water up to his ears.

On the other hand, he loves horses and knows a scary amount of facts about them. Just make the mistake of asking him about it, it's basically a hyperfixation.

When he was little and went to visit his grandparents every few months, his grandad would happily let him ride one of the most beautiful Arabian horses on their farm, as his grandparents used to own a stable for equestrian purposes. Musa never forgot his equine best friend once he passed away and that's how his love for these animals began growing. He'd love to have a stable of his own someday.

He considers Khalfan his best friend on the team. Another good friend of his is Yusuf, along with Far, and Seiyd.

___________________________________________ ___ __ _

Yusuf M'hadi <English Wiki> (Yusuf Massoud/Yusuf Mahadei <alternative dub names>):

Yusuf Massoud

Yusuf is a male name meaning "God increases". It's the Arabic equivalent of the Hebrew name Yosef and the English name Joseph.

Massoud is an Arabic/Persian given name and surname meaning "happy", "fortunate", "lucky" and "prosperous".

Headcanons:

Yusuf is a happy-go-lucky person known to have disarming luck in everything he does.

He gets homesick very easily and can get quite anxious when change is involved.

His parents rooted in him a deep connection with Qatari cultural traditions, and sometimes that can lead to high expectations he holds for those around him (especially con-nationals) that don't get met.

Such misunderstandings bring some issues as he relates to others, especially with free-spirited and more Western-oriented teammates. More than once he feels the pull to "correct" the behavior of some of them when they act in a way that by his standards (often religious driven) is wrong and borders on being immoral.

But then again, he knows better than to do that (on one occasion he said the wrong thing to the right person, at the wrong moment, and by the end of the whirlwind of carefully crafted insults and harsh accusations of hypocrisy his comment triggered, Yusuf ended up crying his eyes out in his room out of embarrassment).

He's really close to Khalfan, Seiyd, and Far. He also enjoys the company of Nasser and Musa. He doesn't enjoy the infamous teammate's company anymore, but they used to be on good terms.

___________________________________________ ___ __ _

Sulai Sulaiman <English Wiki> (Sulayk Sulaiman/Sly Salomon/Sly Sulayman <alternative dub names>):

Sulayk Sulaiman

Sulayk is an Arabic given name that means "traveller" and "walker".

(Sulai and Sly are not even actual names according to what little information I could find about them. Other smilar Arabic names I've found are Sulay and Suli, but apparently they're both female given names.)

Sulaiman is one of the many English transliteration of the Arabic name/surname Suleiman. It means "peaceful" and "man of peace" and corresponds to the Jewish name, Shlomoh, and the English one, Solomon.

Headcanons:

He's the sweetest guy you'll ever meet, always generous and considerate. He's non-confrontational, often trying to mediate or defuse fights when they break out.

He dreams of traveling around the world and plans to go on an exchange program abroad during his last year in preparatory school (Qatari public school service from age 13 to 15) and who knows; if he really likes the place maybe even for uni.

The sea has always fascinated him since he was a toddler, and whenever he can, he likes to spend his days at Khor Al Adaid (Inland Sea), a renowned tourist attraction located in the southeast of Qatar, where the sand dunes meet the sea.

I also have a hc about his ethnicity that I developed a few years ago when I first started to get into Desert Lion.

In my setting, he is originally Palestinian, born in Nazareth, and his family is of Arab-Christian descent. However, that never stopped him from befriending Adel, whose family is devoted to Islam. Even though their families follow different beliefs, they bonded quickly.

Zack is hilarious, but annoying when he bypasses boundaries for the sake of a joke. Nasser is super nice but also too stressed out and Bjorn is a good friend, yet sometimes he turns cold and ignores you for no apparent reason. That kinda hurts, but oh well!

Sulai gets along well pretty much with everybody on the team.

___________________________________________ ___ __ _

Seiyd Armand <English Wiki> (Sayid Armand/Seid Armand <alternative dub names>):

Sayid Armand

Sayid is an alternative spelling of the name Sa'id, which means "blessed", "good luck", "joy" or "happy" and "patient".

Armand (Armand is a French name/surname, the closest Arabic (Persian) name/surname is Arman, meaning “wish” and “hope.”).

Headcanons:

He is a patient person and usually maintains a good mood that is hard to spoil, tending to see the bright side of things, and having a very positive attitude toward life.

The relationship with his family, namely with his French-born father, is strained due to how contrasting their outlooks on life are. That is, much to his dismay because Seiyd's family is well-known around their hometown for their chronic pessimism.

Seiyd spends most of his time arguing with his overly dramatic father over daily events and how much his apparent bad luck influenced them.

If there's one thing Seiyd is not neutral about is how much he dislikes fatalistic individuals. However, it's not like he can just get rid of his own family, especially because despite all that negativity they seem to possess, he loves them to the moon and back.

Seiyd and Talal are really close friends. He also has a strong bond with Far, Bjorn, and Musa.

[monitorchakas]

I'm not buying Musa's bullshit about Spartan IVs being better than Spartan IIs.

I don't like his implication that Spartan IIs aren't human.

I also am not buying the whole "spartan II would have killed Mickey unlike spartan IV" its a miracle that Buck didn't kill him, Romeo probably would have...

Spartan IIs are more in control of their emotions than IVs, they are more professional. Spartan IVs are too undisciplined. How many times have we seen them mouth off, disobey orders, go on emotional tantrums? Not even talking about just these guys, look at fireteam majestic.

I think they are making too many "spartans". I think the selection process should be much less forgiving. Like Halsey said "some are closer than others" (to being spartans).

[empresskadia]

So here are my in-the-moment thoughts about the experimental Spartan-IVs with Raya and Lana making a brief appearance.

I am 100% here if y'all have opinions or ideas too, I would love to hear them. This is just my take on it.

We hardly know anything about the experimental phase of the Spartan-IV project, what's canon is that it lasted 2 years and there was a brief moment with Ilsa Zane but that's it.

However, I've been thinking about it and they would've needed a test group of volunteers. I personally think there were two, the group in 2548, which was Raya's group. and then 2549, which was Lana's. While Musa and Jun were in charge of the official Spartan-IV recruitment, the experimental IVs were mainly picked by a board of ONI scientists, Musa and Parangosky. They needed to be very selective with this group, files upon files were shuffled through.

It's also noteworthy that not a single one of the experimental IVs got all their augmentations at once, ONI needed to watch to see how each person reacted to each procedure, so it couldn't have been done immediately, especially after the IIsa Zane incident. All these files are currently redacted.

The first group was the trial group, they needed UNSC personnel who had an outstanding mission record, more so looking towards the ODSTs and seeing who has served the longest and who they could "fix" with augmentations. Example A, Raya was part of the eight other candidates that were offered the original Spartan II augmentation for their eyes. Three of them ended up permanently blind while five were successes. In the end, there were a handful of deaths and complications with this group, but was an overall success to continue to the next phase.

The second group was ONI personnel, teams that could drop in and out of missions and knew how to keep their mouths shut. These were the ones Parangosky mainly picked, the ones she trusted to get missions done, ODSTs that had worked under her for years, and most importantly, ones that didn't have a group of teammates, lonewolfs if you would. Alot of them were Section 3 such as Lana, the ones that knew how to disappear and not say a word. These ones went smoother than the first group but ONI still tried to use Spartan II and III augmentations, or rather, a more subdued version that eventually became the building blocks for the Spartan-IV argumentations.

The three years before the actual Spartan-IV program started was an observation period. These Spartans were sent on hand-picked missions and would go through tests and scans as soon as they got back, from their diets, to how their bodies were growing with the augmentation and this is where ONI picked and chose what to make the official augmentation list.

I guess in a way, you can say they are genetic freaks. Hardly any two of the experimental Spartan-IV have the same exact augmentations. However, this led to the experiment IVs being really proud of themselves and their teammates, not in an 'I'm better than you way' but we've survived while not everyone did. Every couple of years these IVs get called in for testing to make sure nothing abnormal has happened, as of today many of them are still active and I want to say the end number was around 75 or 76 of these Spartans.

Alright everyone, gather around for

RIMINI COMICS INTERVIEW WITH IGINIO STRAFFI

Translated by me word by word because I do not have the patience to correct fake news spreading from half-baked translations again

HOST: As we already said, the Winx are turning 20. An incredible journey between 8 series [seasons], movies, spin-offs, and even a reboot, which I know you're preparing at this moment. In which moment – is there a particular moment when you noticed that this project was becoming something crazy? Was there a moment that made you understand this?

STRAFFI: Well, yes. It all happened fast. In 2004, when it aired first in Italy, then in France, then in the United States, then in Germany, in all the main countries and we got ratings that were double the normal for the various channels that aired Winx, and we got the data from Mattel and other licensees that sold products – dolls and whatnot – as if they were bread so we realized that these characters had, in fact, let's say, broken through everywhere. The recipe, the contents of the Winx were truly global and universal.

HOST: They worked. Cool, cool. I imagine it must have been an incredible emotion to find out that they were becoming an event...

STRAFFI: For me it was even earlier, when we started the animation tests, to see from the static drawing these characters who moved, flew, who talked etcetera, I already realized they had something really special. We studied the eye, a bit all that was the look of the Winx, it was all really, really powerful and us boys asked "please come out of the screen".

HOST (laughing): True, true. Raise your hand if you ever fell in love with a Winx! ...Pretty much everyone. What do you mean only Musa? [to the audience] And going back to the beginning of it all, were there creative difficulties during the creation of the show, maybe in regards to the construction of the Winx's world, the story, or their very personality?

STRAFFI: No. For the story I took almost a year, 9-10 months, like a real gestation, to pinpoint everything, so much so that I had already written the first 3 seasons, hoping for the first to do well. But there was already the fil rouge, the revelations that had to happen proceeding with the story. Instead, the graphical part was indeed a little more complex, because after having already realized one episode, and even presenting it to TVs, I realized that they weren't as strong, as original as we wanted, as made in Italy, as innovative, so we restarted everything. I told my closest collaborators, "I realized they aren't strong enough, we must start over with the graphic research". There have been scenes of people who wanted to jump out of the window, it wasn’t easy, and I added to the team a real fashion stylist, going back to the discourse about the arts, of how important specialization is. This girl, she was from Ancona but worked in Milan for the Prada group, Miu Miu, realized for us a series of looks, haircuts, very fresh and innovative, and from there, translated into models for animation, were born the Winx as you have known them on TV, because of the pilot which was called Magic Bloom, nothing aired.

HOST: I imagine in a creative process, to be ready to take the idea and set it aside to restart...

STRAFFI: You never do that in a cartoon, because it has frightening costs, so when you've already arrived to animation and color, you don't throw anything away, you go on anyway. However, this project was so important, Rainbow had some extra money from Tommy&Oscar, from previous projects, and since I'm passionate about my profession I said "who cares, let's throw everything away and make something even stronger".

HOST: It worked, it worked great! So I would give him an applause. Now, I'd have some questions that come directly from the community. A lot of questions were selected, we took the most requested, and we bring them here so maybe the community can satiate some curiosity. They ask: "if you could change something in the plot of Winx, what would you change?"

STRAFFI: I must say nothing, because it worked so well I wouldn't change anything. Maybe I'd be more careful from season 4 onwards, since we, let's say, followed the requests of broadcasters etcetera; instead, like we're doing in the reboot, I'd be more careful with that, meaning, with maintaining the story really, really in syntony with what is Winx's DNA, which is to always be one step ahead, with content different from the usual, ideas that maybe are new to the public, and I think this is the only element we always need to keep in mind.

HOST: Absolutely, absolutely yes. They also ask if it would be possible, although we just talked about it earlier, to know more about the origins of the Winx Club as Magic Bloom.

STRAFFI: Well, what I said before, I mean, the series was called [that as] working title because we never thought of calling it Magic Bloom, it's a too childish title, but, let's say, it was really different especially in regards to graphic; the story was pretty similar but the graphic was very different. From there, this huge work I mentioned to remake everything to make something new.

HOST: Then we have, instead, a curiosity about your personal taste: who is your favorite villain of the animated series?

STRAFFI: Which one? [to the crowd]

CROWD: Valtor

STRAFFI: Valtor is the favorite villain, but come on guys, the Trix are too cool. I'd even make a spin-off on the Winx, maybe live action, I'm thinking about it. [pretty sure he mixed up and meant Trix here] Because we know little of the Trix.

HOST: Exactly. Instead, your favorite transformation?

STRAFFI: Heh... Enchantix.

HOST: Enchantix. Dr Straffi gave something away about transformations. Then the community asks: "have you ever wanted to add a fairy with a different power, and in that case, which power?"

STRAFFI: I thought about it sometimes, but then... they're already so many, because 6 characters are a lot, plus Roxy, who is this seventh Winx who arrives every now and then, let's say I would've liked to have a telepathic fairy, who could read others' minds a bit, but let's say Musa is a bit like that, so we don't need another one, we have them all.

HOST: Instead, in the case of a brand-new character to add as a member of Winx Club, can you give us a famous person you'd be inspired by to create a new character?

STRAFFI: Well, now in the reboot we will have big news. A very, very important character will make his entrance in this new series [NOTE: he uses male pronouns because "character" is a male noun in Italian, we don't know the gender for sure yet!], and for the visual part we haven't got an inspiration yet, but...

HOST: There's a few ideas.

STRAFFI: There's a few ideas.

HOST: You have already answered the last question, in fact they asked if new characters would be introduced in the reboot, apparently there will be a few surprises.

STRAFFI: There will be big surprises in the reboot, something really, really new, so I invite you all to... now one more year, about one year and a half of production, but, but I think the new fans but especially those of yesterday will find it an interesting and engaging show, from all points of view, from the content to the graphic part of it.

HOST: I am really curious. Hands up if you're curious! But we can't do any spoiler, of any kind, can't help it. So I ask you one more big applause for Dr. Iginio Straffi, thank you again for being with us...

STRAFFI: Thank you.

Our noble sisters and children in [Al Hol camp] and [Gaza] are like two eyes, when one eye tears the other follows suit. When either eye is sore the whole body aches. We are one Ummah, one body. 

Don't be selective in what cause you stand for or raise awareness for when it's Muslims being massacred or oppressed.

Recently the PKK terrorists have intensified their campaign against our sisters and their children in the camps, opening fire on them and assaulting them.

During some difficult times they heard about a month ago, in spite of what they themselves are enduring in the camps, I received a long heart-melting letter of support that I will never forget inshā’Allāh. 

Yā Allāh defeat the PKK and those behind them, and anyone who harms our pearls and their cubs.

Yā Allāh keep our noble sisters and their children united, grant them patience and strength, and hasten their release in honor with firmness upon Tawheed.

Fanfic Writers: Director’s Cut

Reblog this if you want readers to come into your ask box and ask for the “director’s commentary” on a particular story, section of a story, or set of lines. 

Or, send in a ⭐star⭐  to have the author select a section they’ve been dying to talk about!

ahhh i wish i had capri fic to do this with! but it will have to be a scene from my tears of the kingdom 50k word crackfic-turned-earnest story instead <3

plain text is from the fic, italics are commentary. this is from the last chapter and is mostly about the original yiga clan character i added to a cast of real npcs! i know a few readers liked musa especially, so i hope you enjoy the added insight re: her characterization :)

Link's eyes wander to Musa and Salli, still standing against the canvas wall of the Gazette. Musa is glaring right at him, then looks away when she realizes she’s been caught.

One of my main intentions for Musa's character from the start was to create someone who "masks" in the same way Link does, but also has the unhinged passion and conviction of the Yiga Clan (and Traysi). So that's how we get Musa's particular blend of awkward aggression—glaring intently at her former enemy , but looking away the second she’s noticed.

She’d been civil to him earlier, with the coffee machine. And he’d been civil back. But that was in front of Traysi. Does he even want to be friends with Musa, considering everything that’s happened between them and their factions?

He does like Salli, though. And Traysi and Douma are chatting up a storm.

Link leaves the pizza in the pot to keep warm and walks towards Salli and Musa. He awkwardly leans against the canvas panel beside theirs.

“Overwhelmed?” asks Musa, not quite mockingly. She’s here too, after all.

Link nods. She motions him closer.

While working on this final chapter, I was SO excited to finally write Link and Musa interacting in a way that wasn't trying to kill each other. There's a lot of comedic potential, given their many similarities and the fact that they'd both HATE to know they have anything in common.

“You’re the hero, right?” asks Salli, her eyes wide.

“Yeah, that’s him,” says Musa, before he can deny it. But why would he deny it, in this situation? There’s nothing to connect him to the silent blonde Yiga footsoldier who accompanied Traysi to the Depths.

I think of the people at this party, only Link, Musa, and Traysi actually know who everyone else is. Salli and Mimos don't know that Link was the footsoldier; Douma and Juanelle don't know that Musa and Salli are in the Yiga Clan; and Penn doesn't know any of that, and also doesn't know that Link is the Hero Link at all.

“You probably don’t recall,” Salli tells Link, “but we’ve met before.”

Both Link and Musa startle at that.

“A few years ago, you gave me some gardening advice in Hateno Village. Thank you.”

Link does a fine job hiding his relief, but Musa releases a sigh. Salli looks between them, narrowing her eyes. Thinking… something. It occurs to Link that to Salli, the pair of them have never met—despite Musa literally kidnapping one of Link’s closest friends.

“I want a Noble Pursuit,” Salli says after a pause. “I’ll leave you two to chat.”

And then she’s gone, leaving Link and Musa to stand at an awkward distance.

I love the little hints of Salli and Musa's longtime friendship throughout the entire fic. It's mentioned most explicitly in Musa's journal, which only Traysi reads, but I still wanted to put some things elsewhere for the reader to notice that Link wouldn't.

It makes sense that Salli would be glad to give Musa the opportunity to talk to Link in an environment where they can't try to kill each other, especially when Salli doesn't know that Link knows who Musa is. Salli has had to deal with Musa's obsessive planning of Link's death for like a year+, and was glad to see that original plan get a replaced with a nonviolent one. So by letting Link and Musa talk alone, she's hoping that Musa might genuinely gain a new appreciation for the person she so badly wanted dead before changing her mind.

“All of these secret identities are giving me a headache,” Musa says.

Link nods.

I love this little moment of reluctant solidarity. That's a good way to summarize this entire scene, actually.

“She was telling the truth, by the way. About meeting you. I was there, too.”

Link tries to remember a Yiga encounter in Hateno Village. Gardening, specifically, manages to ring a bell. Nobody tried to hurt him directly, but a footsoldier had managed to grapple Zelda… until they and their accomplice abruptly disappeared.

Musa smirks. “If it’d been up to me, we wouldn’t have shown mercy. I’m not sentimental enough to get distracted.”

Link stares pointedly at Traysi, now smiling ear to ear as she speaks with her sister.

HA.

“She’s a special case,” says Musa, with no further elaboration. “I would have killed you and the princess in a heartbeat.” Then she frowns, but not in a sad way. It’s a thoughtful, conflicted frown. “You saved both of your lives, being so kind to Salli. And you didn’t even know it.” Musa’s frown deepens. “People outside the Yiga Clan are kinder than I expected them to be.”

This is a direct reference to an entry in Musa's journal, where she makes the same observation after traveling Hyrule for the first time. She grew up in the Yiga Clan, full of almost entirely unpleasant and mean people, so of course that's how she acts and what she expects from others. Salli is the exception to the norm, and that's why Musa cared so much about defending her friend when the Yiga Clan turned their cruelty on her.

Link… doesn’t know how to respond to that. But Musa doesn’t seem to expect a response.

This was meant as a direct contrast to Traysi, who almost always expects some kind of engagement with the things she says. Even with Link, who she doesn't pressure to speak, she still generally awaits indication that he's paying attention.

“I’m glad Salli stopped me from killing you,” she says after a long pause. “And I’m sorry you lost your friend.”

A surprising thing for her to say. Still not clear at this point if Traysi told Musa about the Light Dragon, or if she's referring to a more general kind of "lost." Either way, it touches Link.

Link doesn’t know why he thinks of the Lightning Helm. But he does, and he remembers the way she’d reacted when she saw that he had it. It wasn’t the same anger she’d shown when he dispatched her inventions—his possession of the Yiga-made helm has seemed much more personal to Musa than someone simply breaking her toys.

We have Musa being unexpectedly kind to Link, and Link instinctively thinking of a way he can return her kindness. This "people are kinder than I expected" theme connects to the greater themes of masking, things appearing different from how they really are, etc.

He takes out the Lightning Helm and offers it to Musa. Recognition flashes in her dark eyes, but she doesn’t dare move.

“That’s right,” she mutters, “you... “ And then, at full volume: “You’re giving it back?”

Link nods. He has the full upgraded rubber set, anyway.

Musa reaches for the relic, but stops herself. “It doesn’t work for me,” she reluctantly admits. “I could never figure it out.”

But it clearly means something to her.

“It would be illogical to accept,” Musa says, weakly.

“Sentimental,” Link replies. Her eyes widen, for a second, but she quickly regains her cool.

The only word Link ever says to Musa in this fic. I think it’s fitting :)

“Fine,” Musa tells him, swiping the Lightning Helm from his hands. “But you take this. I can always make a new one.”

She withdraws the zonaite helm from her inventory and shoves it towards Link. If him accepting is what it’ll take for her to keep the Lightning Helm, he’s happy to comply.

Another main story theme: confident passion. The Yiga Clan is cringe and free. They are an intimidating and confident clan of assassins, and they’re also engineering nerds who sing songs about bananas and turn themselves into chickens. In their most shining moments, each main character of this fic—Link, Traysi, Mimos, Musa, and Salli—demonstrates confident passion in their interests. But they’re also insecure, at times, and use their confidence to uplift each other.

It doesn’t matter that Musa never figured out how to use the Lightning Helm. It was a project that she and her mentor put work and passion into, to the point that it literally killed her mentor. The helm still means something to her beyond its utilitarian purpose, and having it would give her confidence in her passion for future projects. And it would also just make her feel better, in the same way that a hug from Traysi helped Link feel better when he finally told the truth about the Light Dragon.

Well, maybe happy is a stretch. It’s easier to absolve Salli and Mimos of the Yiga Clan’s cruel impersonation of Zelda, because Link can’t imagine either of them actually standing by the emotional harm it caused. But Musa intentionally plotted to cause him and his friends emotional harm, just to get what she wanted. And while she had agreed to stop the Yiga Clan from impersonating Zelda, Link still has to wonder if that had solely been to please Traysi, rather than make amends with him.

“You know,” Musa says, “I have some familiarity with the Zonai legend of draconification myself.”

Proving him wrong in real-time. Traysi isn’t currently present to approve of Musa being kind to Link. Musa is doing this on her own.

Link gasps, pushing himself away from the canvas. But Musa speaks casually, as if her words have no weight at all.

“The way the Zonai write about it, everything is very set in stone.” She cringes. “Ignore the pun.”

Reference to her asking for a pun to be redacted during the interview, and then it literally being redacted in the article. And, more thematically, to the idea of her “masking” the parts of herself she thinks are unserious.

Link warily leans back.

“But then again,” Musa smirks, “the Zonai were also certain that their devices could only use crystallized charges as a power source, and…”

She reaches under her red scarf to pull out a metal pendant on a chain. Link recognizes her power source and a chill runs down his back.

I love how even in this scene, Musa still finds a moment to be smug and self-congratulatory. One of my favorite quotes in this fic is when Musa says something in her journal like, “Salli says I’m capable of more than I think, which is silly because I’m very capable of the things I’m actually good at.” Musa is both deeply insecure about anything she’s not immediately skilled with, and obnoxiously self-assured about the things she knows she does well. Girl, me too.

“It really does beg the question,” says Musa, every word dripping with implication. “What else could they have gotten wrong?”

I needed there to be a reason for Link to suspect that Zelda could be saved after he fought Ganon, and this was my solution. It seemed just suggestive enough to fit into the game’s story, without fully confirming or denying the possibility.

By the cooking pot, Traysi bursts out laughing. Musa’s expression softens, just for a second—but then she seems to remember her current company, and it’s back to a measured frown.

:)

“Tell her I said any of this and I’ll tear you limb from limb,” Musa tells Link. And then, softly again, “Don’t be mad that she told me about Zelda. She just really wanted to find a solution for you. She talks a lot about you, when you’re gone.”

Link regards Traysi from a distance—abrasive, self-centered, and pragmatic, and not ashamed of those qualities in the slightest. How many times has he questioned the depths of her true feelings towards him? How many times has he worried, in the back of his brain, that she sees him as a source rather than a friend?

I liked giving Traysi a little more of a private side here. Through Musa, Link gets a hint of the person Traysi is when she doesn’t know he’s paying attention. Y’know, mask off.

“She’s more sympathetic than she lets on,” Musa says. “Unlike me, of course. I’m exactly as sympathetic as I let on.”

Another Musa line I adore. And then it’s directly followed by…

Traysi reaches towards the pizza in the warm cooking pot, then draws back her hand in pain. Both Link and Musa run to her aid without a second thought.

“Are you okay?” Musa frets, taking Traysi’s hand gently in her own. Link gets in both of their personal space, looking over the injury. After an initial assessment of the very minor burn, he locks eyes with Musa and nods. She’s fine.

The way they both immediately put aside whatever weirdness they have between them, simply based on a shared affection for Traysi… so fun to write.

“Calm down, guys!” Traysi says with an amused smile. “I just touched the handle for a second.”

Musa narrows her eyes at the tiny wound as if she personally despises it. And then she leans down and presses her lips to Traysi’s hand.

GAY PEOPLE!! After several chapters of them antagonistically flirting in front of the somewhat oblivious Link, we get an indulgently obvious moment. And Musa’s willingness to comfort Traysi in such a sweet way, despite her personality Being Like That, in front of strangers, is payoff to her comment about being exactly as sympathetic as she lets on. In this moment, in order to comfort Traysi, she’s choosing to let on.

“Muse,” Traysi murmurs, “not in front of Link.”

The idea of Traysi being extremely private about her romantic life, while talkative and oversharing about everything else, is adorable.

Musa regards Link with what appears to be murderous intent. But then Traysi runs a hand through her hair, and she returns to her typical indifference.

Despite their very nice conversation, the fact that Link’s presence means that Musa can’t flirt with her girlfriend has her going evil-assassin mode. But then Traysi pets her hair and she’s fine :)

“I’m here too,” says Douma. Under her breath, she adds, “freaks.”

Douma was a fun late addition to this fic. In BOTW, she talks to Link about how off-putting she finds Prince Sidon despite his charming reputation. This characterization seemed about right to me.

Hi!!!

It's me again, your secret Santa. I realise my last question was pretty vague so here are some updated questions, sorry if this is too much, feel free to selectively answer or not 🖤

Do you have a favorie Rivusa fic?

Is there an AU that you'd really like to see written for them, or a canon moment you'd like revisited?

Is there a song you want the fic to fit the vibe of?

What do you mean by tension? (Romantic, murdery, competitive??)

What's something you really hate in a fic?

What point in Musa and Riven's relationship do you want them to be in?

Your favourite trope in a fic?

Hope your holidays are excellent :)

Ooh this is fun!

Ok ok so fave fic is really hard tbh but look I adore most Rivusa fics written by septemberie and skloomdumpster

I love love LOVE a good historical au (just not Jane Austen era) I also love to see characters work or struggle before getting together.

I dislike pure fluff I love a good adventure or dilemma or mystery with fluff moments I’m a sucker for Sophie’s choice moments and making my character suffer before mashing them together.

I’m not a huge musical person or a song fic person

As for tension I mean yes to all those cases you mentioned but also just conflict, high stake, low stake, sexual tension, societal expectations.

Ideally I would love the story to be them coming together but I also love their fun banter and back and forth and small tangent here but I don’t love how quickly the show got them to become close.

As for my fave trope don’t judge me but smut, sexual tension, hurt and comfort, forced proximity. Controversial but I don’t love there was only bed trope.

Thank you so much and I’m so excited to see what you come up with! Also please feel free to reach out again anytime I will promise to answer faster ❤️❤️❤️

🍃🕊🍃 Question 43: al-Khidr’s actions in the Qur’an

Question: Regarding verse 80 of Surah al-Kahf, where Khidr (ع) explains his reason for killing the young boy - in view of the Divine principle of not recording evil deeds or punishing people for them before they have taken place, some questions arise…

1. Although Allah (awj) knew that this youth would commit evil deeds in the future, why wasn’t he granted respite (in accordance with the Divine method) until he could witness his own evil deeds in the future? Is this not predeterminism?

2. Was that youth favored with Divine grace because of his believing parents, and since he died before performing those evil deeds, will he no longer be punished?

3. Or since Allah (awj) knew that he would disobey Him in the future, will he be punished in the hereafter?

In view of the explanations that emerge from Qur`anic commentaries, traditions, and the context of the verses, the incident of killing that teenage boy (ghulam) was not a chance event or as a result of a conflict; rather, Khidr (ع) proceeded to kill him without any preliminary exchange of words. So there is no possibility of there being any mental inclination or anger involved in this event, and the questioner’s mind comes to accept the fact that though there were no provoking or inciting factors involved, without doubt the killing had wisdom and special reason behind it. It did not follow from base desires. The action was undertaken by someone about whom the Qur`an says,

“One of Our servants whom We

granted mercy from Ourselves

and whom we granted knowledge

from Ourselves”1

one of Our servants whose hearts’ vessel We filled with Our exclusive mercy and whom We taught from Our select knowledge.

So we can be certain that personal desire was not involved. But in terms of its emotional wisdom and how it can be believed that such a person would undertake to kill a young man, an answer is required, which is presented as follows.

It is understood from some traditions that when Prophet Musa (ع) saw this scene, he was profoundly shocked, and because he saw the killing as unjustified based on its outward appearance, he turned to Khidr (ع) and said, “Did you kill an innocent person who wasn’t worthy of death? What you have done is unacceptable and abhorrent.”

At this point, Khidr (ع) briefly explains his reason for what he did “The Divine will and wisdom are superior to all things, and the unsophisticated intellect of human beings cannot comprehend the finer points of Allah’s (awj) affairs and His will. Thus, human intellects have no authority over His will; rather, His will holds sway over human intellects. So don’t just rely on your reasoning and its superficial understanding, and for now patiently bear whatever I do...”2

🍃 Looking carefully into this tradition,

we conclude that:

1. Every thing has an outer aspect and an inner reality. If something has a good and innocent-looking outer form but underneath is evil and sinful, it is not possible to simply rely on laws pertaining to the outer aspect.

2. Sometimes Allah (awj) decides, on the basis of some overriding good, to act beyond the limits of apparent recompense and desires to apply the [laws of the] inner dimension, along with its reward or punishment.

3. The killing of the young man was entirely dependent on Allah’s (awj) command; Khidr (ع) did not perform this deed without a Divine command, but was merely executing His will.3

Here the question presents itself as to whether by killing that youth, Allah (awj) has punished him before any crime has been committed on his part. The points below can help us answer this question.

1. If a person is born to Muslim parents and then denies his or her faith after attaining maturity, the rules of an “apostate from nature” (murtadd fitri) will apply to him or her. If that person is a man, he will be worthy of death. It has come in several traditions: “[Though the Qur`an clearly states that] the parents of that young man were believers, their son was an disbeliever, to the extent that there was no hope of his heart opening up to the truth, and the seal of obstinacy and rejection of faith had been placed on it.”4

So while it is true that his apparent conduct in playing with his friends did not reveal his disbelief (just as Musa (ع), relying on this outward state, thought him innocent), the reality of his heart and beliefs proved his disbelief (as demonstrated in the Divine knowledge and its revelation to Khidr (ع)). As a result, his being killed was merely a result of his choosing to be an apostate, which carries the consequence in this world of termination of physical life.

2. Allah (awj) knew that the continuation of the young man’s life would lead to nothing but more spiritual and material loss for him because he would mislead his believing parents, break apart family ties, and deprive them of the worldly and otherworldly blessings of faith for the family and for society. Thus, since the good in his life up until that point had come to an end, Allah (awj) determined to terminate his life and put in place the means of taking his life—just as a person takes care of things as long as their good outweighs their harm, but then no longer takes an interest in them when that is not the case.

In this instance, though the soul was seized by the angel Jibra`il and his servants, Allah (awj) wished for the apparent executor of His will (ending the life of that young man) to be one of His chosen and merciful servants who had knowledge of His special sciences, namely Khidr (ع).

In other words, his action was based on Allah’s (awj) creational and legislative will with respect to the death of that young man, and in this respect his death was like all other deaths that are caused by accidents or other causes (with the difference that an accidental killing is not in accordance with Allah’s (awj) legislative will and He has not commanded it to take place; but the killing under discussion and all natural deaths take place in accordance with Allah’s (awj) permission and indication both legislatively and creationally [i.e. natural causality].

Imam Ja’far b. Muhammad as-Sadiq (ع) solving this problem, says, “…Khidr’s concern was for events not to take such a turn that he would be prevented from carrying out what he was commanded, such that he would remain deprived of the reward of carrying out Allah’s will, that is, ending the life of that young man (the beginning and end of which are both in accordance with Divine grace and the greater good, not in accordance with what the human being deserves)—especially since carrying out this command was a source of mercy for the parents of that youth (since as the Qur`an clearly says, Khidr (ع) knew that in place of that son Allah would give them a child who would be pure and a source of unity for the family. In addition, the coming to pass of this Divine will allowed Khidr (ع) to be able to reveal Divine secrets and explain hidden truths to Musa (ع).”

It is worthy of note that “When Khidr (ع) began explaining his reasons, he said, ‘In any case, we feared that the young man would later become rebellious and lead his parents towards disbelief.’” That is, in explaining the process of performing this action, he doesn’t make mention of his own will at all and instead uses the plural verb “we feared” to show that as executor of Divine will he did not act alone, but Divine assistance and the intermediaries of His court were with him—with the difference that fear cannot be attributed to Allah (awj), but Khidr (ع) and others are subject to fear.5 (The issuance and execution of the command is shared, while the fear of failure in fully executing the Divine command is exclusive to Khidr (ع)).

Why is it that though Allah (awj) knew that the young man would fall into disobedience in the future, He gave him no respite (in accordance with the Divine Way) and did not allow him to witness his own evil deeds in the future? Isn’t this predeterminism?

It is clear from the preceding explanation that:

1. Life itself is a Divine blessing; no one has an entitlement to it. From this perspective the issue of demanding a continuation of life doesn’t arise, let alone for one to ask for a reason for its non-continuation.

2. Allah (awj) had willed for that young man’s life to be ended in accordance with His wisdom and the greater good.

But in answer to this question it is possible to bring up other aspects of this issue as well:

1. The youth was culpable in two respects: he was an “apostate from nature”; and he had the ability to destroy the foundation of his parents’ faith. Allah (awj) observed that he didn’t use the respite He had given to reform himself and make amends or abandon unbelief and apostasy. Therefore, He carried out the command of killing him.6

2. If the young man were to remain alive, he would put into practice his intention (of leading others to disbelief), and in this case greater harm and damage would result. Thus, to prevent those future consequences, the command to end the life of such a being was issued. In addition, it can be gleaned from the apparent sense of the verse that this son was not as obedient and beneficial as he ought to be and in that short time after attaining maturity had already committed sins and misdeeds. In this way, he worked to lead his parents astray.

3. As verse 81 of Surah al-Kahf indicates, Allah (awj) had decreed to reward the parents of that young man for their faith by granting them a model child. From this it can be understood that not only would his remaining alive result in his parents’ going astray and him not receiving the punishment of his apostasy, it would also prevent another good from reaching them. This point is clearly explained in the traditions: “Allah had willed to give them in place of that son a daughter who would bear a son in whose line would be numerous prophets, one after the other, such that seventy prophets would descend from that one daughter.”7

Thus, another result of not granting respite to that young man was for that line of prophets to come into being.

It goes without saying that it is the Divine Way (sunnah) for the parents of prophets to be believers. So if the son remained alive and pulled his parents towards unbelief, it would contradict this Divine principle. This is why the question doesn’t arise as to why it wasn’t possible for both the son to live and the line of prophets to come into being.

Was the young man availed of Divine grace on account of his parents and, since he died before committing those evil deeds, was he no longer subject to punishment? Or, since Allah (awj) knew that he would disobey Him in the future, will he be punished?

In view of the preceding explanation and following points, it can be deduced that this putting to death was a source of mercy for all involved: the young man who was killed, Khidr (ع) who killed him, and the parents of the young man.

a. The good that came to young man as a result of being put to death:

1. He received punishment in this world for his apostasy, which may lessen his punishment in the hereafter.

2. If he remained alive, he would make his parents unbelievers and would be responsible for the sin of their apostasy and unbelief.

3. Creedal disbelief leads to decadence and sinful behavior. Thus, his death in youth forever sealed his scroll of evil deeds, and on the Day of Judgment he will not be punished for all the sins he would have committed had he lived longer.

4. He wasn’t capable of fulfilling his duties towards his parents, and the pain he would thus cause his parents itself would increase his burden of sins and his parents’ aversion to him.

b. The good that came to his parents:

1. Their faith remained unharmed.

2. To resist such a son wouldn’t lead anywhere, and their parental love and emotions would soften their hearts towards him and weaken their faith. Thus, they were also saved from the tension and unease that would result from his remaining alive.

3. Their patience and contentment with Allah’s (awj) will were tested, and they were able to be successful in this test.

4. In place of an immoral and rebellious son, they were granted a pure, devoted, and blessed daughter.

5. They were blessed with becoming the progenitors of seventy prophets, whose reward and forgiveness they benefited from.

6. Their memory was eternally recorded in the everlasting revelation of the Qur`an, and they became an example for others.

c. The benefit that came to his killer:

1. He was granted the ability to carry out a Divine decree (Divine will).

2. He was the cause of blessings for a Muslim family.

3. He was able to teach some of the secrets of revelation and unseen realities to Musa (ع).

Imam Ja’far b. Muhammad as-Sadiq (ع) describes these blessings in these words: “Allah knew that if he stayed alive, the young man would lead his parents to disbelief and he would become a source of corruption and hardship for all. Thus Khidr (ع) was commanded to finish his life so that as a result all of them (the killer, the killed, and his parents) would attain honor and Divine grace.”8
