The crazy part is i literally have a very similar idea drafted with a few tweaks (+without the abo setting)

i actually made jobe way younger in it so it fits the whole babysitter plot perfectly, and i already wrote the first chapter as a rough draft with zero editing done to it yet.

but honestly since we’re talking about rpf, i’m still lowkey hesitant and nervous about actually posting it in the future... so we’ll just see what happens later on!

Well yes absolutely, i’d love to hear them

Writing fics in Arabic is brave, you know I’ve been consuming fics probably since I was 12 years old and for very niche anime fandoms, not once in my life thought about reading fics in Arabic because this gives me the ick for some reason, I’m a reader and I read normal Arab books but fanfiction is sth else for me😂

I also used to write not necessarily fanfics in Arabic and I remember I tried to write fics in English but it’s difficult when you don’t grow up with English as a first language.

Anyways, Pedri is definitely levant looking, Jude could honestly be a mix, I feel look wise maybe khalejee but personality maybe Lebanese? He honestly could be half Lebanese because so many people from Lebanon migrated to Africa and Brazil, I could see him as half Brazilian half Lebanese 😅

thank u!! honestly yeah, looking back i'm so grateful my mom did that bc it really is so easy to lose the language when u live abroad.

and omg the "ick" from reading fics in arabic is SO REAL 😭 inside joke or not, some words just sound way too intense or funny in arabic compared to english, i totally get why it feels weird lmao.

Now that u mention it i highkey see the vision here....

The perfect definition of "عريس الجنة" in personality and look wise

what about jude tho? I'm not very familiar with Arab countries, but I'm genuinely curious

omg i love this question, so basically jude is a mix of two different vibes for me

personality-wise, he definitely gives off pure emirati vibes. like just the way he carries himself, the high confidence, and how proper and polite he is in interviews, it’s so classy lmao.

But look-wise? he is 100% iraqi looking to me the facial features, the beard, the hair… he literally looks like an iraqi guy u’d see at an arab wedding, u cannot convince me otherwise!

wait tamally maak actually fits him so well though i completely forget abt amr diab😭

but him doing dabke?? LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER

please he does not have the coordination for that at all, he would literally trip over his own feet

The most unexpected thing tbh😂

Not in a bad way because omg twins,

In my head I always imagined the fic writers as Americans or British which is silly I know😂

That's actually so unexpected twin, i should be the one surprised here😭, u’re actually not completely wrong bc my dad is british but my mom is arab so i'm half and half!

PLSSSS I'm actually crying bc why can i lowk picture him listening to "akhasmak ah" right before a match now?

but honestly if we're being so real, he has such a chill and laid back personality that i feel like his actual playlist would be way more quiet and indie. like he definitely gives off the vibes of someone who listens to artists that aren't too mainstream.

i feel like he’d be heavily into adonis or elissa’s older, softer tracks. and definitely ziad rahbani’s jazzier stuff.

Ahh yes, my very personal and dear friend pedri the middle eastern king

omg u actually caught me so off guard with this bc i’ve been thinking about it for literal months but thought i was the only one 😭 u are absolutely not tweaking.

like honestly if u look at him without knowing he's spanish, he just looks so middle eastern. it’s the eyes and the thick eyebrows and just his whole facial features? he literally has that exact local arab boy look.

if i had to pick a country, he definitely gives off levantine vibes, like syrian or lebanese for sure, but sometimes i look at him and i’m like… yeah he could easily pass as jordanian too. he just has that specific familiar face that makes u feel like u've definitely seen him around (which i did, a lot) or he's someone's cousin lmao.

thank u for finally saying it out loud bc now i feel so validated 😭

+remembered this video of him speaking Arabic for the first time

Talking tuff abt (موعدنا في الكلاسيكو) boy shut your cute ass🙏🏻

Just wanted to check on you and say that I miss you updating your fics,

Hope you’re doing ok❤️

omg hello angel!

track single handedly saved me from the absolute trenches of uni exams and finals, literally finished just two days ago so i finally have my life back lmao. but i am SO sorry for the late reply😭

and yes i am back to writing the fics as we speak rn

just a heads up though, i won't be posting updates right away. i really want to get ahead and finish at least 3 chapters of each fic first so i’m 100% happy with how they turn out before i start uploading.
