The Out-laws (2012) || Bad Sisters (2022)
by Malin-Sarah Gozin
I was more into the whimsical tone of the original, but I preferred how they connected Eva's and Grace's confessions in the final episode for the remake - having all the sisters together for that scene made so much sense. The emotional pay off and their reactions felt more real.
Also lesbian Bibi and the !surprise! gay boyfriend Gabriel were very pleasant surprises. Anyone else want to geek out and compare notes on this show?

OH MY GOD???? I already love them sm
I literally edited a new profile for them for this cuz the old one was outdated BUT YEAH IDK IF THIS WAS AN INVITE TO INFODUMP ABT MY JAMIAZU FANKID BUT IM USING IT AS ONE
Btw I can only wish to achieve your level of snake knowledge I thought my reptile hyperfixation went deep but yours is deeper I wanna know your ways
But that isn’t relavent YEAH HERES MY JAMIAZU FANKID HI TUMBLR *lets them out like you would a spider under a cup*
So I have a shit ton of Twst fankids btw! They kinda swim around in my brain but only a few ppl I know have gotten the info dumps lmao
Skye was the first one I made I think (actually it might’ve been Rico (florid) but eh oh well who’s counting)
But yes this is Skye Ashengrotto!
They’re my older Jamiazu kid, I do have two. The younger one is my octo boy Akram :) he’s funny I wanna pinch his cheeks but he’s not the point here
So Skye! It feels weird publically infodumping abt my OCs like wtf am I even supposed to put here
They’re a half mer, which do work a lil different than normal mers in my lore. Half mers can transform without a potion but it’s still a long and generally painful process, esp going from mer to human. I kind of switch between calling them a snake mer and a naga but there’s lore there- Nagas exist in my lore outside of sea snake mers, there are also fully terrestrial Nagas. So the terrestrial nagas wouldn’t be considered snake mers but the sea snake nagas would be a type of mer while also still being a naga ITS CONFUSING DONT ASK (actually do. Ask everything so I can roll more of my fankids out like marbles)
Skye was created by a spell, I haven’t quite worked the details out 😔 but Jamil is part gorgon in my lore which is why they have the hair snakes which isn’t a typical naga trait. And to elaborate on the hair snakes: they are alive, the one w the bigger stripes is Flora and the smaller stripes is Jett. Skye can communicate w them telepathically and their eyes glow which is kinda neat. They’re kind of Skye’s version of floatsam and jetsam (unless u count Rico (florid) and Lilac (treyjade) which is like their ver of the twins- IDK ITS COMPLICATED)
idk what else to put here so LETS THROW SOME FHARACTER DYNAMICS YEAH and also mentioning some of my other fankids! They all have profiles (except my Malleus kid I’m sorry Aihan I can’t think of a design for you) but I’m probably gonna save those for another post-
So jamiazu in my lore live in the Shaftlands in a beachfront place and also live pretty close to Treyjade, however Florid live in the Queendom. The octatrio and their spouses is a close group so they’re essentially a big family. My treyjade kids are Maren (older) and Lilac, then my Florid kids are Rico (older) and the twins Mary and Eliza.
Skye saw Lilac more as a kid cuz they lived so close together but also saw Rico a lot when flrd would visit or they’d go to visit them. Rico is an agent of chaos and Lilac is Skye’s 2nd in command so their dynamic on a surface level is pretty similar to the octatrio, but there’s still a lot of differences once u get into the meat of it. Tho Lilac and Rico are Skye’s best friends and basically like siblings to them.
Outside of jamiazu Skye is particularly close with Jade, they share a love of tea :) he’s their cool but also slightly unsettling uncle
THEN THERES SHENZI- Shenzi is my younger kaliruggie kid and I am not gonna get into her here bcuz she rlly needs her own post w all her trauma but good lord these two do not like each other. Shenzi’s really nice but she’s not quite as nice as Kalim so after about 5 months of trying and failing to befriend Skye in their freshman year she just gave up and now their relationship is nothing but hostile (which was not helped when Shenzi and lilac started dating)
Speaking of that tho- so my idikei kids :) Ember (named after the pokemon attack) is the older one and he’s basically that “Jock idia can’t hurt you he’s not real Jock idia:” thing as a person he has the Fire hair n shit but he plays basketball and is heavily extroverted but no one gives a shit abt Ember this is NOT ABT HIM this is abt his sister! Her name is Zelda because you know Idia would name his daughter Zelda- she got all of Idia’s social anxiety lmao. She’s extremely shy and there’s a total of like 4 people in the school she can actually talk to without melting into a small stain on the floor. She’s an Skye are both in board games club and sometime in early freshman year she falls on her ass and knocks over a bunch of stuff which Skye happens to witness and cue the most awkward interaction known to man bcuz Skye can’t talk to pretty girls and Zelda can’t talk to ANYONE but they end up walking to the mirror hall together afterwards which becomes a routine. Except they’re both awkward as fuck take like almost two fucking years to get together bcuz neither of them are gonna do anything abt it BUT THEYRE VERY CUTE!! I love them
Also my ashengrotto siblings are very wholesome I need to write some stuff w them- Akram is a little shit and he loves pissing Skye off but at the end of the day he admires them and Skye loves their brother a lot :)
Anyway good lord I’ve yapped too much okay OH YEAH Skye has a Russian blue cat named Mariana who they just fucking found on the side of the road and thought it was a mouse so for like 2 years Azul thought Skye was gonna eat the cat
OK HERES RHE ACTUAL PROFILE these aren’t as chaotic as the other ones all the other ones are more meme than profile ALSO RHEIR UNIQUE MAGIC DOESNR HAVE A NAME AT THE MOMENT IF ANHONE HAS AN IDEA FOR ONE PLS SHARE I HABE NO THOUGHTS
(If you recognize my art style from instagram no you don’t also THEY DO HABE EYES I JUST DONT DRAW THEM CUZ MY STYLES WEIRD)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But yeah I love them I hope they explode (affectionate)

Will you under - perform if you are left-handed?
Apr 05, 2022
Experts say at least 10 per cent of the people in the world are left-handed, and that’s not a small number. However, despite this, lefties often struggle to perform basic daily tasks in a world designed for right-handers, and until not so long ago, faced widespread social stigma too….
In Christianity, the right hand of God is the favored hand. Centuries ago, the Catholic church denounced left-handed people as servants of the devil. For generations, left-handed Catholic children were forced against their will to become right-handed.
Just a few short decades ago in Japan, the fact that your wife was left-handed could be cited as grounds for divorce!
In India, left-handedness is still considered a very bad omen among the Hindus. People who are left-handed are often not welcome to perform puja ceremonies, and a lefty is often referred to as someone who uses the ‘wrong hand’ — 'ulta' (opposite) as opposed to 'seedha' (straight and right). Naturally left handed kids are forcibly converted to right handed since it’s considered highly inauspicious to eat, write n even worship with the left-hand. The left hand is considered 'unclean' since it is the hand people generally use for washing themselves.
You will never succeed in life, one is warned if one doesn’t give up the bad habit of being a left-hander.
In Islam, the prophet forbade his followers to eat with their left hand because eating with ones’ left hand makes one EVIL like Satan. Really….!! The holy seer, Osama-bin-Laden was left-handed.
The International Left-Handers Day was observed for the first time in 1976. Ever since, it continues to be observed annually on the 'unluckiest of days',- August 13.
What’s common between,-
A) Iconic n historical leaders:
Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Napolean Bonaparte, Thomas Jeffersson, Benjamin Franklin, Queen Victoria, Rani Lakshmi Bai, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa n Narendra Modi
B) American Presidents:
James A. Garfield, Herbert Hoover, Harry S Truman, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama
C) Hugely successful Industrialists:
Henry Ford, Amar Bose, Dhirubhai Ambani, Ratan Tata, L.N. Mittal, Rahul Bajaj, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs n Mark Zuckerberg
D) Iconic Sportspersons:
a) Tennis Legends:
Rod Laver, Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova, Monica Seles, Goran Ivanisevic, n Rafael Nadal (Won 21 Grand Slams,- most by any player n is not done yet!)
b) Football Legends:
Pele, Johan Cruyff, Diego Maradona n Marco Van Basten
c) Chess Greats:
Gary Kasparov n Vladimir Kramnik
d) Formula 1 Champion:
Ayrton Senna
e) Cricketers:
Sir Garfield Sobers, David Gower, Allan Border, Sanath Jayasuriya, Wasim Akram, Adam Gilchrist, Kumara Sangakkara, Sourav Ganguly, Yuvraj Singh, Chris Gayle, Brian Lara n Sachin Tendulkar (Bowls, eats n writes with his left hand)
E) Rarest of the Rare, Genius Scientists n Inventors:
Aristotle, Sir Issac Newton, Alan Turing (father of AI) n Nicola Tesla
F) Nobel laureates:
Marie Curie (twice), Pierre Curie n Albert Einstein
G) Creative Geniuses who kept raising the bar:
Mozart, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Pablo Picasso, Hans Christian Andersen, Mark Twain, Leo Tolstoy, Hellen Keller, Walt Disney, Charles Chaplin, Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia, Morgan Freeman, Michael Jackson, Rajnikanth, Asha Bhonsle n Amitabh Bachchan (is ambidextrous - writes with both hands n fights, shoots n eats with his dominating left hand)
They are all under-performers in life. Why…. b’cos they were cursed to be natural left-handers. Imagine what more all of these 'under-performers' might have accomplished had they not irresponsibly n stubbornly decided to stay left-handed/left-footed!!!!

Juliette Binoche was born on March 9, 1964. She is a French actress, artist, and dancer. She has appeared in more than 60 feature films and has been the recipient of numerous accolades, including an Academy Award, a British Academy Film Award, and a César Award.
Binoche began taking acting lessons during adolescence and, after performing in several stage productions, was cast in the films of such notable auteur directors as Jean-Luc Godard (Hail Mary, 1985), Jacques Doillon (Family Life, 1985), and André Téchiné; the latter would make her a star in France with the leading role in his drama Rendez-vous (1985). Her English-language film debut The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988), launched her to international prominence. Following her acclaimed role in Krzysztof Kieślowski's Three Colours: Blue (1993), a performance for which she won the César Award, and the Volpi Cup for Best Actress, Binoche garnered further international acclaim with Anthony Minghella's period romance The English Patient (1996), for which she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. For her performance in Lasse Hallström's romantic comedy Chocolat (2000), Binoche received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress.
During the 2000s, she maintained a successful career, alternating between French and English language roles in both mainstream and art-house productions. In 2010, she won the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival for her role in Abbas Kiarostami's Certified Copy, making her the first actress to win the European "Best Actress Triple Crown" (for winning awards at the Berlin, Cannes, and Venice film festivals). She was also honored with the Maureen O'Hara Award at the Kerry Film Festival in 2010, an award is offered to women who have excelled in their chosen field in film.
Throughout her career, Binoche has intermittently appeared on stage, most notably in a 1998 London production of Luigi Pirandello's Naked and in a 2000 production of Harold Pinter's Betrayal on Broadway for which she was nominated for a Tony Award. In 2008, she began a world tour with a modern dance production in-i devised in collaboration with Akram Khan. Often referred to as "La Binoche" by the press, her other notable performances include: Mauvais Sang (1986), Les Amants du Pont-Neuf (1991), Damage (1992), The Horseman on the Roof (1995), Code Unknown (2000), Caché (2005), Breaking and Entering (2006), Flight of the Red Balloon (2007), Camille Claudel 1915 (2013), Clouds of Sils Maria (2014), and High Life (2018).

Ballets of Marius Petipa: Giselle
This is Renata Shakirova of the Mariinsky ballet on the left and Gillian Murphy of American Ballet Theatre on the right.
Giselle is a ballet of love, betrayal, and forgiveness.  Giselle is a peasant girl who falls in love with Albrecht, a duke betrothed to a wealthy woman who is hiding his identity to act as a peasant.  When his true identity and betrayal are revealed, Giselle’s sick heart cannot handle the shock and she dies.  The Wilis are ghosts of women betrayed by men and when they come across a man in the forest, they force him to dance to his death.  After Giselle dies, she is buried in the forest and is turned into a Wili.  Albrecht comes to visit her grave and is captured by the Wilis.  Giselle tries to convince Myrtha, the Queen of the Wilis, to spare her love’s life, but is denied.  Albrecht is forced to dance all night, but dawn arrives and Giselle’s love protects him as the Wilis sink back into their graves.  Giselle’s forgiveness has overcome the power of the Wilis and she is released from their powers thus being able to return to her grave peacefully.  Albrecht’s life is spared.
Giselle is not an original Petipa ballet; the original choreographers were Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot.  The ballet premiered is Paris in 1841 and Perrot brought the ballet to Saint Petersburg in 1851 for prima ballerina Elena Andreyanova.  Perrot continued to make changes to his production in Russia, and finally Petipa took over making more and more changes in the 1880s.  His final version is the one most modern productions base their choreography on which is why I’m classifying it as a Petipa ballet.
Giselle has been staged constantly throughout the world since it’s premiere, including by Mary Ann Lee, an American ballerina, who went to Paris in 1844 and brought directions to stage the ballet back to New York which premiered in 1846.  Almost every classical company has a version of Giselle, and there are several contemporary versions as well, including a version called Creole Giselle created for the Dance Theatre of Harlem in 1984 which set the story in 1840 Louisiana.  In 2016, contemporary choreographer Akram Khan created a version of the ballet for the English National Ballet replacing the peasants with immigrants barely scraping by in a refugee camp and the court replaced with landlords and factory workers. He worked with contemporary composers to take the original music and turn it intense, primal, raw, and eerie.

~The Hijabi Reads~ A Book Review Series:#3 “If The Oceans Were Ink” by Carla Power
Tumblr media
Summary
‘If The Oceans Were Ink’ took me on a genuinely stirring, captivating and refreshing journey into understanding Islam through discussions between a secular skeptical feminist and a pioneer of hadith studies(a Muslim scholar). Carla Power, an esteemed writer studies Islam right from its authentic sources-the Qur’an and the Sunnah, with Sheikh Mohammed Akram Nadwi, an alim who doesn’t need any introduction in the Muslim world. What follows is a series of cross-cultural conversations, discussions of the apparent clash between Islam and the West, understanding the universal guidance of the Qur’an, women’s scholarship in Islam among numerous other pertinent topics. Despite having their divergent world views, how far would each go to accommodate and make sense of the other, without compromising on their own foundational beliefs?
Overview
I love the rhythm of the book and the sheer magnitude of knowledge and perception that Power manages to squeeze into a concise three-hundred pages. Learning begins in a cafe right off Oxford Street, where the Fatiha (The Opener) is discussed emphasizing an individual’s direct connection with God. The subject matter moves rapidly from purely theoretical discussions to travel, from Power visiting the Shaykh’s madrassa in India, where he was trained to going down her own memory lane-her childhood living in Iran and Afghanistan.Politics, Quranic stories of Jesus, Mary, the Pharaoh and his wife, Joseph and his brothers, the centrality of women in Islamic history and its transmission, spiritual reflections, understanding the life of Prophet peace be upon him-Power doesn’t fail to amaze me with her curiosity in learning and her expansive inquiries into all these issues and more.
I was slightly concerned (also excited) that I’d be reading about Islam from a skeptic’s point of view. Being a feminist, it wasn’t surprising that a lot of Power’s questions were regarding women's’ rights and freedoms in Islam. There was some heavy reading in the book when the author was distressed with certain issues such as the Prophet’s wife, Aisha’s age and married life, some ayaat from Surah An-Nisa (The Women) but I decided to read those with an open mind, trying to see where Power was coming from, and then comparing it to my own inconsistent study of those topics usually attacked by Orientialists criticizing Islam.Power admits, “I wondered just how much my own project was guilty of this: of trying to stuff the Sheikh’s worldview into Western categories.”(pg. 172) But I appreciate her concern, her willingness to understand a new world from a madrassa trained yet a Western academic scholar/Sheikh’s narrative. She really gets to the core of the Islamic tradition and together they destroy myths and uncover treasures from the Qur’an which she rightly calls the Book of Signs. It was interesting to see her honesty,her limitations and especially her probing when she wasn’t content with Sheikh Akram’s interpretations. But her experience with faith is what fascinates me the most- trying to appreciate God’s signs in the most mundane of things and feeling a sense of ‘radical gratitude’. Much of Sheikh Akram’s life is chronicled in this book, especially his revolutionary contribution titled, ‘Al-Muhaddithat: The Women Scholars in Islam’ consisting of forty volumes of nearly nine thousand women scholars, from the time of the Prophet to the twentieth century. Sheikh’s distinction between culture and religion and how to navigate the two is evident in his own life- he truly embodies the message he preaches, following the footsteps of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in all aspects of his personal and professional life.
There are far too many powerful ideas and realities that are discussed in the book but here are a few of my favourites,
“If the Quran served as the spiritual and philosophical foundations for the Sheikh, the Prophet’s life was a model for how he put them into daily practice. “Islam is not an idea, he told me one day via Skype. “It is a history.” (Pg.53)
“I tell people, ‘God has given girls qualities and potential,” he said. If they aren’t allowed to develop them, if they aren’t provided with opportunities to study and learn, it’s basically a live burial.” (Quoting Sheikh Akram, Pg.135)
“His reasoning was framed in the language of submitting to Allah alone: no human should have control over any other one. It sounded bracing, liberating, and as stripped of gooey romanticism as any second-wave feminist text.” (pg. 146)
So would I recommend reading it? I most definitely would. What instantly drew me to the book was its title, “If the Oceans Were Ink”. It is borrowed from the ayah (verse) of Surah Al Kahf (Chapter of the Cave) in the Qur’an where Allah swt reveals, “ Say [Prophet], ‘If the oceans were ink for writing the words of my Lord, it would run dry before those words were exhausted’- even if We were to add another ocean to it.” The author gracefully introduces this verse stating the Qur’an’s proclamation of its limitless possibilities.
I wasn’t expecting an exhaustive study of the Qur’an in this book- so don’t be surprised that once you complete this book it’s like you’ve barely just started learning about Islam, something that humbled me.The never ending ocean of Allah’s words is a navigation that this book steered me towards and that to me-is its biggest appeal.
