Can I play a good game instead?

No team rocket? But Giovanni is a total DILF.

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

Friendly reminder that this blog doesn't support anyone who ships Max x Pip!

If you ship them, or even consider it a "dark romance", then get the fuck away from my blog.

If you come onto my posts saying, "You can't judge people for this ship! Just let people ship what they want to ship!!!", I'm here to tell you that I will judge you if come here supporting a ship that includes a canon rapist.

This blog will completely judge you for shipping Max and Pip. That's a disgusting ship. Fuck off and do not interact with me at all if you think it's okay to ship Max and Pip.

most of my les mis art rots in my procreate/sketchbook so here's a few

[mulders-too-large-shirt]

request for playlists!

as i am about to finish s3 and begin s4, i feel that i am at a place in which i can enhance my morning commute by putting on txf playlists. so if anyone has spotify playlist recs... pls feel free to drop a link <3

i mean obviously i still have a WHILE to go, but!!! i am well-established at this point. i love individual character playlists AND ship playlists! i love playlists that are “fox mulder would certainly listen to these songs” and playlists that are “these songs are literally about MSR and Phoebe Bridgers CLEARLY was watching season 3 when she penned this"

[gncrezan]

some old @chrysanthemumgames hermes-seph sketches!!! some of it is established-relationship daydreaming but also a peek at my dark and twisted mind (sprawling intricate spidey au)

alicent and sansa with your bright red hair you are my enemy

stop trying to be ygritte you both could never

you have brown and auburn hair respectively with a side of some pretty misogynistic crazy fans who hate the hot dragon ladies

rhaenyra and dany you will both forever be famous

and stop stealing the winter roses rip my boy jon your symbolism is too cool too pretty so thieves are snatching it up bc for some reason little birds just aren’t good enough so a pretty flower is needed as well

i know this beef has long passed but almost every sansa fanart has a winter rose in it while i think i’ve only ever seen one fanart with jon holding some winter roses. the thieves have cleared my boy out and forced him into something so disturbing so gross so horrid so nasty and called it jonsa

they tried replacing satin with sansa it’s horrible

jonsatin is the real jonsa

it’s the truth

i’m a bi jon truther

i genuinely do not know what the point of this post is

they are quite literally fictional characters. i understand not supporting writing straight abuse but calling any writing that’s not fluffy and 100% accurate to the character “icky” makes you the icky one. i love when tumblr is just one big place of judgement and holier than thou!

You can just say that you can't read and don't apply critical thinking skills lmao, it's okay

You also ENTIRELY missed the point. You didn't just miss it, you sling shotted yourself in the opposite direction.

Where did I say that it has to only be fluffy? Where did I say that not writing 100% accurate to character is icky?

Genuinely, where. Exact quotes, no paraphrasing or summarizing in your own incorrect words. I'm not quite sure you have the right person or post

Or are you skipping over massive parts and putting words in my mouth that I never said nor implied but you're assuming because you skimmed and didn't properly read or comprehend my post?

Why is it holier than thou to say that I condemn and don't respect people who write and fetishize stuff like rape, abuse, sexual assault, incest, abuse, stalking - I can keep going on about ALLL that I've seen here. I've literally seen all of that written and posted like it's hot and just is something to get off on more times than I can count Why is that holier than thou?

And uh yeah? I'm going to fucking judge people who fetishize that. Kinda worrying if you don't and you're okay with that. If you understood not supporting writing straight abuse, then you'd probably understand my post! If you'd like to continue this conversation, I think you should come off of anonymous so we can have an actual proper talk and so that people can see what you support and what you say, and what you think is okay

Or just stay away from my blog, lol, that's also free

The main reason I'm even replying to this is because I'm going to stand my ground on things as important than this. You're literally highlighting my example of people not understanding why it's a big deal and so harmful - and are trying to justify it. Please reread, read again, and maybe learn that just because something is fictional doesn't excuse it from causing real life harm. That's not how anything literary works. No literature is in an isolated bubble nor are its effects

Ok hi!!!! I love all your takes on the characters and it's rlly interesting! I also think moash is a very nuanced and fascinating character. I'm kinda mad at him after he tried to convince Kal to k!ll himself but I think he's a great charcter with lots of depth and your pinned post was so interesting because it said so much about moash! Anyway sorry bye!!!

Hello!!! Thank you!! I apologize for inflicting that post on you, but I'm glad you read/enjoyed it! ty for letting me know <3<3<3

a little reminder that OOC communication is the best & easiest way to form in-character bonds with me! i take the friendships i make through roleplay very much to heart and treat them as any other real, genuine friendship. if you like my portrayal of anya, talk to me! be my friend!!! it is really just that easy!!!!! i am around all the time and almost always available to talk!
