Something I keep coming back to when thinking about Jamil is that, among the OB! Students, he might be the one who’s twisted from a disney “good guy” as much (or even more) than from the respective villain. And yes, I’m well aware that none of the characters are very one-note Disney villain, but with Jamil it just strikes such a chord with me.

Of course, he represents Jafar who has always resented being second best and who betrays the sultan to overtake the Nr. 1 position and all the power that comes with it. And during Book 4 (and now also Book 7), we can see Jamil equally backstabbing Kalim and planning to continue with the other housewardens and the headmage. That’s not a hot take, I understand that (whaaaat Jamil is twisted from Jafar?? Who would’ve guessed /j)

But with Jamil, I feel like his motivation for striving for power is a little different. For someone who has grown up in the world of the Asim family and has been with Kalim his entire life, I believe Jamil equates power with his actual goal in life: freedom.

So when he says “You really are my genie of the lamp, Azul” it felt sooo ironic to me, because it’s you! You are the genie, Jamil!

Just like the Genie’s “phenomenal cosmic power, but itty-bitty living space”, Jamil objectively has a lot of intelligence, talent and drive to excel at something, yet the space he has in which he can live and cultivate those aspects of his personality is very, very limited.

Both characters are also forced into their prison by the circumstances of their birth. Jamil was born into the Viper family, Genie was born a genie, and now they have to spend a lifetime of granting the wishes of other people.

For them to gain the freedom they so desperately want, both characters rely on the mercy of the people they serve, who they are useful to. But deep down they know their wish won’t ever be granted.

Genie has been promised his freedom a lot of times, just for the person’s third wish to be for their own gain after all when push comes to shove. Jamil has heard Kalim call him his best friend, just to turn around the next second and demand something else of him, wielding his power over him once more.

Besides, even if Kalim did give Jamil his freedom (if he even can, considering his family might step in), it’s shown that Jamil cares very deeply for his family, so I don’t think he would consider it “freedom” if his family was still serving the Asim household, which has an even slimmer chance of ever changing.

So yeah, I find the inspiration Jamil’s character takes from the Genie so interesting and at the same time it makes me want to tear out my heart. Please, he deserves so much (peace and quiet most of all) and I want to give him everything ㅠㅠ

How do I get rid of Talia and Selina’s boring black bodysuits and replace them with their original dresses

Idk man, I think Kamala is also dealing with the fact that she's an enabler of a genocide?? She would have had this win in the bag if she and dems didn't make her entire campaign about she's just slightly better than Trump.

Wait lol

I just remembered that yall are Americans and only give a shit about yourselves. Long live your rights that are only secured when people in the global south die🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

it’s always really irritating when people come up to you and start acting like they know you like who are you?

it’s not a crime for people living here to care about their own rights especially minorities like me what the fuck are you yapping about im stuck here????

the issue wasn’t being slightly better than trump it was being no different from biden! why are you yelling at me for going for the least worst option as if we have any other choice?

and the truth that libs are unwilling to budge on is that life is worse in noticeable ways like economy sucks job market sucks everything is expensive, i understand that these things fluctuate but tons of people cant

PJO + Pokemon

me and my best friend were talking about which pokemon the pjo characters would have if they were in the pokemon universe

percy: literally any water type pokemon (or blue pokemon for that matter), he has made his life mission to collect them all. But also I see him accidentally having a super strong gyarados or a lapras (or a random mudkip)

annabeth: rowlet. I mean cmon it’s literally an owl she would LOVE rowlet

grover: sprigatito cause he reminds me of nature

jason: he’d love the 1st gen pokemons, classic and reliable. I just KNOW he’d love eevee and ofc his would evolve into a jolteon

leo: hear me out we all know he’d love fire type pokemons and I can 100% see him with a pokemon like fuecoco, but I have a feeling he’d connect to cubone on a really deep level and they would just get each other

piper: she would for sure be like misty, a random psyduck just got really attached to her and she just couldn’t get rid of him so she kinda addopted him and got emotionally attached (but also sylveon

frank: snorlax and I don’t think I have to explain myself

hazel: ponyta, she loves horses and she would LOVE ponyta

will: will has a chansey and I will not be accepting criticism it just makes sense

nico: houndour would remind him of cerberus and the underworld and he’d love him

thalia: literally the most punk emo dark pokemon she can find. 100% would love gengar

reyna: zygarde, it reminds me of her dogs and also brings me a sense of importance iykwim

I actually have about 100 pokemons I can see them having (especially leo) so choosing only one was terrible 😭 I accept suggestions I love talking about this

You ever have that moment when you’re watching an 80s/90s movie and your like oh woah this is so good and then they hit you with the triple threat combo of homophobic/ableist slurs horrible racial stereotypes and woman getting harassed for laughs

And your just like “ahh shit not again”

[ssruis]

Also very funny that tsukasa ping pongs between “I’m the greatest ever” and “I’m a disgrace don’t look at me” esp when he upsets saki

Like bro can you chill out a bit

the funny thing about people in the oppressor class is that they are so ignorant and entitled they genuinely believe that the oppressed are privileged in some way

a white person will complain about how “black people have all the jobs and they have a special privilege now because everyone hates the poor white man”

a man will say that he wishes he were a woman so “I can just cook and clean and let my guy bring home the bacon and stay with kids and not go to war and be given free drinks at the club”

and a straight person will say “you gays are so lucky that everything caters to you nowadays, I get so bullied for being straight because it’s ‘vanilla’”

they say this with no critical analysis of the nature of these systems in the first place, and they show they have no actual grasp on the real lived experiences that these people go through everyday. they’ll bring up shallow, niche scenarios that they themselves or a friend of a friend witnessed and run with that to the point of delusion saying “see? I told you these guys weren’t oppressed! It was us all along!”

racism still abounds in even more degrading levels today (blackness and “Asian girl” are now a porn categories that are accepted as morally okay, we’ve seen black kids shot for no reason and the white shooter gets more funding for the court case than the victims family), misogyny has reached astronomical heights on the internet alone (don’t even get me started on how lockdowns had women getting murdered by their husbands in faster rates and how predatory behavior in younger boys has become more prevalent, abortion rights are almost nonexistent nowadays), and gay people are still getting murdered brutally, in fact their rights are being revoked and in other countries, the judicial punishment is getting harsher.

you’re so privileged you don’t even know what privilege means because you’ve never had to fight for it and never lived without it

these people are so inhuman to you that you think their suffering is fun and you want the “experience” of it

fuck off sincerely
