these two again omf
i saw sum1 on tt say that they just took half of one uniform and i thought that was so silly so,,, (last panel in the replies or smth)
if you want to learn about the racist stereotypes n tropes they included in the OG aladdin n aladdin live action, i rec the channel Yousef Abdul-Husain!! He made vids abt both of them n other medias!! scarabia is very mixed considering it’s supposed to be based off only 1 culture
i sometimes see ppl hc that the asims/the scalding sands in general execute ppl & it always weirds me out bc...Why. sure, the scalding sands has been called 'old fashioned,' but most of the countries in TWST are monarchies too. so idk. it feels Off to me.
like let's be real why do ppl think the SWANA-inspired country is the one to execute ppl for stuff. ntm the asims aren't royalty, they're related to royalty but they're just rich as fuck merchants. there's rly no reason to believe they execute people. can we like stop.
listen if there's a piece of evidence I forgot, fine. But I see this SOOO often for the scalding sands but never for the other countries in twst and it feels deliberate & weird.
this Kalim voice line haunts me so much.
"Mind if I bend your ear about my troubles sometime? Let's see...Hmm. Actually, nevermind! My life is great!"
the way his voice is soft & more hesitant. the way he stops, sighs, & then immediately pivots to his usual cheer. Bro. Please.
