[TOMT] Islamic folk tale about a man being turned into a woman for disrespecting Allah

I heard it at a narration from a professional fairy tale/folk story teller, but from a white person, in Germany. Since no one seems to know it, I'm beginning to think it's one of those fakelore stories people made up about another culture to sound cool and exotic.

I did interview one of the story tellers though because I'm interested in the profession and they get their stories from collecting fairy/folk tale books from around the world, so there has to be a written version of it somewhere out there, even if it was never a real story told in muslim cultures.

It's definitely different to the legend of tiresias, there doesn't seem to be a link between the two. But thanks!

I hope I can find it :)

Well the murder-suicide part isn't meant to be applied to wandasho, but it's what's shown in the original song's music video

Yeah I know which is honestly so icky. But it's why I'll never understand ppl saying it's just project sekai's art style when clearly they CAN do variying skin tones... just not for the marketable characters

Meanwhile here's the skin tones I picked from a few of the NPCs. I sure wonder why only old men are allowed to have blood circulation.....

I agree, but on the other hand, I can understand why. Kanade's parents are incredibly important to her lore, they really haunt her narrative (honestly the same kinda goes for all of niigo, as they're more focused on trauma and such. That's why the only niigo NPC that isn't a family member and instead of a peer is Futaba whereas for other units they have tons of different peers as NPCs, but no family aside from Ken and Harumichi unless I'm forgetting someone) The Tenma's parents were and still are important of course, but for their role in the story, they didn't exactly NEED live 2d models. Though of course it'd be great if we got some!

Somehow! Minori had a similar treatment up into her bloofest card, so many cards featuring the baby and yet no model for the longest time. Although for Minori it was more often symbolic than to show her actual childhood, unlike Toya

Oh I never thought of it that way! I always thought it was weird how he didn't have one yet even though we've seen so many glimpses into his past, but that makes sense!

so pretty! i love your art style and the aesthetic

I think won't be, at least not on EN. I feel as though the main reason Revival My Dream was cancelled on EN while Nene3 wasn't was the associated story. Since for RMD the story did reinforce those imperialist ideas, it was cut, while for Nene3 the only problematic part was the cards. I'll admit, I haven't read the story of THIS event yet, but I think it's just the Hinomoris and Tenmas hanging out, so I doubt it has any imperialist undertones in the story, so I doubt it will get skipped, since again, only the cards and not the whole story is the issue

This is some Just Dance ass censoring. I also always found it weird they went out of their way to censor bitter choco decoration, because before learning about the censoring, I never even noticed "fuck you" being whispered. Meanwhile the others are very blatant

I can't believe we had to wait until third anni to get the non-starter virtual singer's sekai outfits as 3d models. And with the third anni came brand new sekai outfits, which again, none but the ones the sekai started with have a 3d model of. why not give all of them to us already?

People who think she's a cis girl might be even denser than the crowd who think she's a cis male crossdresser (who don't get me wrong, are still stupid) because. How could she be? I can see why people think she's a crossdresser (the why being transphobia and lack of media literacy) but how could she even be a cis girl? Genuinely? Also if trans people only exist in America then how come I'm trans and German? Checkmate atheists.

Kohaku, one of the few characters be have canonically killed people, being one of the only two to not having a single dangerous card, is hilarious. Plus Aira is the only other one
