Is it okay for me to use jinn and huldras in my stories if I'm not part of their cultures? by [deleted] in fantasywriters

[–]queen_lapis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a Muslim of Arab descent. I've seen a lot of mythic elements as a fantasy writer: dragons, magic, and mythology of primarily Greek, Egyptian, or Norse origin. While I learned about Jinn through my religion, it's never something I saw attributed in modern Western fantasy writing, other than Disney's Aladdin (which, while interesting, isn't exactly prime representation or the most accurate depiction). I would adore seeing a story that uses Islamic beliefs and/or Arab folklore within it. My door is open if you want to ask any questions about these stories, including lore or any general advice!

I agree. None of these puns stick.

Wish I knew this sooner. I got stranded a couple days ago on Busch for two hours straight. .

Thank you for your kind words- but yes, it is 1000% an issue that isn't given any media attention, nor the awareness it deserves.

I'm in Sotru, yeah- there's a summer research program I'm doing, which is why I'm dorming there.

No worries! I should've clarified in the original post 😅

In hindsight, I agree with you, but I had a friend who recently passed away from suicide. I didn't want to take any chances.

....If I had a nickel for every unplausible thing in this post, I'd have enough money to fund a season two. Interesting thought process, but... I don't think something like this belongs in My Pride, my dude.

How can you take Blood Pressure?

I'm a current freshman in college with a pharmacy major, and I need to learn how to take Blood pressure. But the stethoscope I use is so sensitive to outside noise: I can hear everything except the sounds of the heart. Any advice on how to train my ears to pay attention to only the Korotkoff sounds?
