Everyone Is Fighting A Tough Battle So Reblog To Give Previous A Sword 🗡️

Reblog to make it die faster

I'm not going to hold your hands when I say this. No, you don't deserve it, I'm going to pull your ears and SHOUT OUT LOUD: I'm TIRED of this fandom being UNABLE to interpret a text.

Kalim doesn't need to become a macho man who protects Jamil from everything, and he's not a "uwu boy" either. No, Kalim is a child who was emotionally neglected by his family, and INFANTILISED by them AND BY JAMIL. Do you know why Kalim is so incompetent? Because even Jamil doesn't let him TRY to act like a person, in the Lab Card he even says that HE CANNOT USE KNIVES TO COOK.

And God, why are we ignoring how much Jamil abused this ignorance? Jamil's outburst was fair, but it EFFECTIVELY makes Kalim act more childish and useless and also cuts away a lot of his own freedom.

Kalim has shown COUNTLESS TIMES, during the events and in the main story, that he is not helpless, stupid or incapable of learning. But it seems that when you see Jamil's point of view, which is not 100% reliable because duh, you completely ignore that Kalim accepted being used by Jamil because he thought it was okay if it was Jamil. You forget how much Kalim was tortured in his childhood, and even though he went through a lot, he is still treated as stupid and imbecile. Kalim is very capable, he improved his magic in a matter of months, he can easily make contacts and has the sense not to reveal who he really is to strangers. Besides, his kindness got many characters out of trouble.

JAMIL'S FANDOM MAKES ME WANT HIM TO DIED HARD AT THIS POINT.

It took Tapis Rouge to remind me that I actually really like Jamil's personality and his interactions.

The media villainizing a woc for publicly speaking out about Palestine and standing her ground on basic human rights and then proceeding to blame her for 1)a movie's failure in cinemas and 2)another cast mate allegedly receiving death threats...

Rachel Zegler, get behind me, girl!

(She had her moments of silly takes during promo sure, but the media onslaught this woman is getting is unreal)

Made this for a rlly silly meme i thought of for no real reason Warning: literal flashbang under the cut (recommend sound on)

TWST Ramble: Kalim

This isn't much of an analysis bit it is more me rambling about a few things I've noticed from Kalim(our sunshine boy) overtime I don't see much fan content on.

He's surprisingly inventive: What I mean is judging from a few personal stories, especially his laboratory one it shows how despite being unable to cook usually, Kalim was almost masterfully able to prepare and cook every bit of food with magic alone. Yes Ruggie directed him when he needed to, but the point still shows that Kalim is more capable than we think. Another is during his dorm uniform's personal story. When his two dorm mates accidentally let out a flock of seven coloured birds, instead of defaulting to Jamil he knew silver always had birds and animals around him so he took the white birds and used them for the parade, using his own Unique magic to coat them in the colors with the light reflecting through the water

He seems like he's been stunted: What I mean by this is that Kalim looks like he's been stunted in his growth his whole life. With being given everything by his parents, and even with jamil holding back from actually trying his best in a way stunted kalim's growth both as a magician and a person. Which brings me to-

He's a very fast learner: Despite his naivety, and his upbringing, when he is forced to try and learn on his own to solve a problem without jamil, Kalim absorbs the information ridiculously well and adapts to it quickly. There's two showings of this, the first was with poison, seeing jamil being poisoned Kalim drilled himself to be able to spot and recognize most poisons. And on to the second example, during the Halloween event last year, after only one lesson from rook, Kalim was able to act like a wild wolf so convincingly he managed to scar jack to the point where even after realizing it was Kalim his tail was still between his legs out of fear. And then he acted so well he drew a genuine complement from Jamil, even shocking him at how well he managed to do.

He's not that airheaded: While we all know Kalim is airheaded, and doesn't observe things that well. I think we as a fandom often forget how observant Kalim actually is. The biggest example to date is how Kalim always knew Jamil wasn't a good person and expected jamil to betray him much sooner. And tell me if I'm wrong about this, but i think Kalim might have even noticed when Jamil acted worse than he actually was when he was with him.

So yeah, all in all I think we as a fandom sometimes forget Kalim is actually more than being a ball of airheaded sunshine, he has layers to him than we usually think of.

Book 7 spoilers (not major spoiler but meh)

Akane is,

I am hungry I have been hungry I was born hungry What do I need?

and Gundham is,

I am something I have been something I was born something What could I be?

and Sonia is,

I am waiting I have been waiting I was born waiting I was born waiting for that something

Does this make sense?
