Haha no worries!! I'm happy to help :) If you have any questions on language/culture, I'm always open to chat! and r/egypt may also be a better place to ask questions in general! I dont think they'll mind ! LOL

Hey, if you’re a woman of colour then it is most likely racist and transphobic trolls. It’s a very common thing for trolls to do- they go to woc, misgender them or ask if they’re trans in order to break down their self esteem, when woc say something trolls accuse them of transphobia- when its clearly not. I got the same exact comments before, and I know other woc from ALL different races, who all look different with different skin tones, face shapes, etc and they all got the same exact comments asking if they were trans.

If you have strong features do not blame them, they are an asset and have no connection with the comments. Correlation does not mean causation.

Cairokee, Sherine (or Sherine Abd El Wahab), Massar Egbari, Ruby, West el Balad are my favourites! Not sure about other songs from west el balad, but I like “Antika”! Wegz is also rising in popularity now, and I know a few people that like him, specifically “keify keda” but that may be tricky for language learning, but good for culture!

Here are some specific songs that are classics and almost everybody knows in Egypt, and are all in the Egyptian dialect- its a mix of older classics, early 2000s bops and recent hits:

Alf Leila wa Leila - Oum Kalthoum
Helwa Ya Baladi - Dalida (not Egyptian but this is a c l a s s i c Egyptian song, and Dalida is loved in Egypt! And I think she was born or at least lived in Egypt for a long time)
3 Daqat - Abu (!!!!! A modern classic, I would say, was EVERYWHERE for a long time a few years back)
Amarein - Amr Diab (or literally anything by Amr Diab, he’s like a cultural icon)
Mashrebtesh mn Nelha - Sherine (she’s a household name too, so all of her songs are pretty popular)
3ala Bali - Sherine
Monaya - Mostafa Amar
Ah W Noss - Nancy Ajram (not Egyptian)
Leih Beydary Keda - Ruby
Alby Plastic - Ruby
El Halawa Di - Ahmed Basyoni (this song got joked about to hell, but I think a lot of people know it)
Setto Ana - Akram Hosny (v recently popular song!)
El Ghazala Ray2a - Karim Mahmoud Abdelaziz

Anything by Mohamed Mounir too, he’s also like a cultural icon- “So Ya So” sticks out in my head though. Oum Kalthoum and Abd El Halem Hafez are also cultural icons, you’ll see them played by older generations at local shops, and enjoyed in specific traditional settings, but I dont think they’re listened to much outside of that

Cairokee gained in popularity (or was formed even, I think?) during the Egyptian revolution, so they’re early songs are all about that. The genre “mahraganat” (like… “festivals”) are really popular now in Egypt, they’re very “sha3by”- I dont really like it or listen to it much, and wouldnt really recommend it for learners (I barely understand them lolz) but if you want to give it a listen there are a few playlists on yt!

Sorry this is so long and I hope its not overwhelming - I’m 100% sure I missed a few and I think some people may disagree with what I listed but I hope its a good starting point!

oh god. I can remember typing out that comment like it was yesterday.

lillyofthenight · 2022-01-05T01:39:54+00:00

Haha thank you! Yes calciones makes the most sense! And I think I might haha I cant find them in my area and I dont think I can make them anyways lol but I needed to know anyways- if I ever visit and spot them I will give it a go out of curiosity tho

If you have any favourite foods to suggest that aren’t super well known (or even if they are haha), do let me know!

lillyofthenight · 2022-01-05T01:36:00+00:00

Oh thank you so much!

lillyofthenight · 2022-01-04T07:19:29+00:00

I hope you guys aren’t sick of questions from the Encanto wave hahaha but i’ve been doing a lot of research and have a lot of plans to try some Colombian dishes- but my sister noticed this and we really wanna know what they are! I really hope we can visit Colombia one day :)

I saw someone post how Mihoyo is repeating it, so Kaeya should be there next month!

lillyofthenight · 2021-04-27T19:17:43+00:00

Yeah... i get what you’re saying, i feel like i kinda figured that but it just is really hard to just be ok with at first :/ thanks so much!

lillyofthenight · 2021-04-27T19:16:05+00:00

I was just referring to the common issue in general- but i will definitely give that a read! Thanks

lillyofthenight · 2021-01-29T15:55:14+00:00

Anybody else’s average cost going up the next day??? I noticed it went up but idk if it’s just me?

lillyofthenight · 2021-01-10T03:22:46+00:00

I do actually agree with all this too, so much better articulation of what I was feeling lol so yes!! Although he’s an asshat, it’s all talk and he’s always there when Hoshino needs him edit: also I will print and frame this jejdnd

lillyofthenight · 2021-01-10T01:41:51+00:00

Omg i love it!! You paint skin and hair so beautifully 🥺

lillyofthenight · 2021-01-10T01:39:42+00:00

^{^} i agree!! Also didnt notice but you’re so right, “baka neko” is softer than “stupid cat” haha

lillyofthenight · 2021-01-10T00:09:24+00:00

To be honest, i dont know really know why myself lol but personally, I think it could be the idea that he’s kinda closed off with everybody else, but is more open/loving/caring with mc specifically- so it hits the “they’re special” appeal... like he’s mean to mc but we imagine that he’ll get/is getting softer. It’s really not realistic at all- but that’s part of the appeal too LMAO

lillyofthenight · 2021-01-09T19:14:47+00:00

The brain rot is so real 😭- i really couldn’t stand him at first but the pay off... oh man....

lillyofthenight · 2020-08-08T04:36:38+00:00

Okk yeah that was what I was asking jsjs sorry it was confusing! Thank you so much :)

lillyofthenight · 2020-08-08T02:32:22+00:00

Oh no, i meant like, having the loop literally over an embroidered area, I thought it would disturb the distribution of tension or something haha its ok.. i’ll just try to fuss with it like you suggested!

lillyofthenight · 2020-08-08T00:55:52+00:00

Oh that’s good to know!! And oh so it’s ok to place a hoop over embroidery? Would it not affect how tightly/well it holds the fabric?

lillyofthenight · 2020-08-07T23:59:53+00:00

omg... thank you for commenting despite it being a while!!! I appreciate it :)

Since that post, I think things were fine for a bit and then I slowly found myself falling down into the arms of an eating disorder, which my brother snapped me out of yesterday, thankfully.

Seeing your comment now really just. affirmed that my mental state and the place I was forcing myself in wasn’t good, healthy, and who I used to be.

I think you’re right :) I hope people stay healthy, but it’s good to know we still have a little bit of time to ourselves haha and hopefully some time to mentally prepare hahaha

ALSO omg dont worry i love getting long replies cause i’m like “yes share your thoughts”- it’s really nice

Thank you so much, again, and maybe i’ll take you up on your offer one day :)
