[quote="LillitOfBa'el"]Okay! Here we go - First, here is my OC Lillit - she's a golden djinn ^^ [img]https://40.media.tumblr.com/f1a35c4ab7e90c51b9f5a2b8d4e508d5/tumblr_o2roz5yo3b1v6knm4o1_540.jpg[/img] I'll be updating this profile sooner or later - it's kinda old and her design has become a bit more streamlined since. [img]https://41.media.tumblr.com/f9d070ddee8e46233e6b54d84a603450/tumblr_o38s7vIAhZ1v6knm4o1_1280.jpg[/img] Aaaaaaand obviously, I pair her with Genie. ^^ [img]https://41.media.tumblr.com/3f3f1d4cf20129a31f5ded724cc72fe9/tumblr_o2w2ihTNEK1v6knm4o3_r1_540.jpg[/img] [img]https://41.media.tumblr.com/0fd837b550d502973a1c17edd8ec692b/tumblr_o2w2ihTNEK1v6knm4o1_r1_540.jpg[/img] [img]https://40.media.tumblr.com/35614a1fdded474a5b62427cff64cbad/tumblr_o3rmwfu4Cr1v6knm4o1_540.jpg[/img] [img]https://41.media.tumblr.com/2b34f4299a4c73cc2ee4cf891ff87cf4/tumblr_o4kjleyJdQ1v6knm4o1_540.jpg[/img] [img]https://40.media.tumblr.com/17f558bd8d1aad46d7523256c8934136/tumblr_o3v70tMOcX1v6knm4o1_540.jpg[/img] [img]https://40.media.tumblr.com/782f28b8b187a94e5bbaf4c940055fe8/tumblr_o38sx3kf951v6knm4o1_540.jpg[/img] [img]https://40.media.tumblr.com/cc28885466595207e24e0f35e0de0b38/tumblr_o3v7bwh7qK1v6knm4o1_540.jpg[/img] I'm writing a comic series that explains a lot about their relationship as well as relationships with other djinn, but mainly it's the story of how Genie finds out where he came from, etc. ^^ I also do X rated work but it's hidden deep in the internet, haha. If you're at all interested in taking a look at that stuff, hit me up :B I love comments! All of the awesome comments I got last time were deleted so please feel free to comment again! ^^ Hope you enjoy. - Kei[/quote]

When I say that this thingy im making (it's a subtitled animatic) is personal, I don't mean it in that way at all. I'm working through some very key issues that I felt lent themselves well in helping to tell the story of the magical mass incarceration of an entire species of people through a Necronomicon, haha. Yup, a Necronomicon. It's mentioned in Q'uran. <br /> <br />Speaking of the Q'uran, it says that djinn, a species of demon, were created with a smokeless flame in the way that man is made from the earth. It also explains that djinn, like humans, are born, have families, age, and eventually die, but their aging process takes hundreds of thousands of years.

And yeah, it might get a little dark at times, but it's mainly got a lot of humor and heart to it...or at least that's what I tried to do. :B <br /> <br />And I'm in no way taking from the Q'uran like its the end all be all here, I'm not at all a religious person. ^^ Like the guys on Aladdin in the late 80s, Ive taken inspiration from a ton of weird sources haha. The way I see it, Agrabah is to the Middle East as Camelot is to Great Britian, both places based on a culture, but because they are fantasy worlds with lots of magic, all the rules go out the window ^^</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>LillitOfBa'el</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon May 16, 2016 10:52 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span> <table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>AladdinsGenie wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote"> <br />Related but as I get older and examine myself more closely I realize that a lot of characters I'm drawn towards are begging for interpretation about the details of their identity (in this case specifically his sexuality) and it's because of Genie.

For me anyway, it's not about him being a sexual or non-sexual character so much as the fluidity present in his characterization that allows for him to comfortably fit in to multiple categories since binaries (and to some extent labels) are just not his thing. Genie is a pretty queer character in part thanks to him being a literal shapeshifter and his constant transcending of the text he's written in to, so I think he honors numerous readings because that's just how his character is meant to be read, which is why he's so universally appealing and speaks to a lot of people. Plus, you know he doesn't like to be trapped in to anything <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>LillitOfBa'el</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon Apr 25, 2016 5:31 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span> <table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>imekitty wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">Really?
