Aaaaaaaa I think I got a couple! Hold up lemme try to recall them:

When Isfan is doing something, he tends to hum soft lil tunes absently. Is it a particular song? Ehh, not really. Literally just no thoughts head empty just random tunes.

Zaravant whistles a lot. I don't know why I hc him that way.

Shapur has sung lullabies to soothe a smol Isfan countless times. Perhaps even every night. It helps little Isfan sleep, and calm down after nightmares.

I somehow can't get the mental image of Daryun singing something with an evil grin and Narsus trying to shut it out being all “STOOOOP YOU MONSTER”. I don't know what Daryun would be singing to get Narsus to react like that, but it's clear he's doing it on purpose to mess with Narsus.

Isfan tends to find a melody in nature— like say, the slow pitter-patter of raindrops, some frog croaking in the distance, stuff like that. His innate connection with nature also meant that he can feel out its melody. He thinks everyone else can do it too though. Oh and sometimes his humming can be influenced by whatever he hears out there in nature.

Merlaine appreciates a good singing voice. Maybe he'd prefer softer, quieter songs, perhaps to contrast his father's (very bad) loud boisterous singing voice?

Alfarīd likes to sing, and dance too. If there's a celebration or something she'd be one of the people dancing to the joy. I think she'd make quite a merry dancer, can't tell you why though.

I think Arslan would like to sing and dance too, but is too shy to do it, afraid people might think it's improper. Somebody should push him to do it.

Sam has a nice voice, but he often doesn't know what to sing so he just doesn't. What a waste!

It's been a very long time since Hilmes sang. He last did it for Irina, perhaps under the excuse of teaching her about Parsian music or something, lol. I think a smol Hilmes before the fire may have expressed interest in picking up an instrument or something. It's just the vibes I got.

Irina looooooves music. She sings and hums a lot too, and makes cute lil noises. She always asks Militsa to sing for her, and who'd say no to a face like that?

Ayyar always pesters his grandpa to sing for him. And he always sings along too.

In Winds of Wolfsong, the clan has so. many. things. centered around song and dance. Solstices and equinoxes? Let's sing and dance! Many of their history and myths? Songs! Celebration? Song! Funeral? Song! There are games played by families or just bored colleagues where they piece random songs together or come up with lyrics on the fly or stuff like that. Just... songs.

On that note, music is thought to be the bridge between worlds, the language of all languages that transcend barriers. It's used as a medium to communicate with spirits, and they have traditional dances— dances to old and ancient melodies endeavoring to sync up the body and soul to what the song is conveying, if that makes sense? It's also a form of magic. Not every clan member is a dancer, though.

Kazai's a dancer. Arslan is too. Gieve sings, and plays the oud as in canon, but with a magical twist of course. Maybe he too uses it to ask spirits questions. Ayunnen and Kashi used to sing together under the moonlight. In this AU too Farangis sings and chants melodic prayers— just not to the Parsian gods. Isfan sings a lot more in this AU too.

Ayunnen had the gentlest, most soothing voice you've probably ever heard. Kashi's voice was... hm, how do I describe it— stronger? firmer? Something like that.

Shapur seems like someone who'd sing for his beloved.

Parsmas 2020 - Day 6: Visitors

Title: Hot Gos’ in Peshawar

Characters: Salima, Nasran, and Ayyar ...with a struggling cat

Rating: G

Art by me, @colleyuriko. I wish Salima showed up more, I bet she would bring some juicy digs at Rajendra. Also, everyone should talk to Nasran. I bet Kishward likes to mumble his complaints to her. Tahamineh should get to hang out with her. The real letters to fear in Peshawar are the ones Nasran sends out, that’s my headcanon.

I had to finish this one early, I was running out of time, otherwise I think I would have given Salima more jewellery...

May the new year be kind to you all.

एक बार फिर मैच फिक्सिंग का साया आईपीएल पर पड़ा है। 30 मार्च को दिल्ली कैपिटल्स और कोलकाता नाइट राइडर्स के बीच दिल्ली के फिरोज शाह कोटला ग्राउंड पर खेला गया रोमांचक मैच अब विवादों में है। इस मैच को लेकर आईपीएल के पूर्व चेयरमैन ललित मोदी ने सोशल मीडिया पर ट्वीट कर मैच फिक्सिंग का दावा किया है।वहीं बीसीसीआई ने इस आरोप को खारिज करते हुए कहा कि ये सब गलत है। बीसीसीआई के एक अधिकारी ने पीटीआई से कहा, “पंत ने अपने इस वाक्य (ये तो वैसे भी चौका है) से पहले क्या कहा उसे किसी ने नहीं सुना।” दरअसल, वो कप्तान श्रेयस अय्यर से ऑफ साइड पर फील्डर बढ़ाने की बात कह रहे थे, ताकि चौका बचाया जा सके।

ललित मोदी ने अपने आधिकारिक ट्विटर हैंडल से एक ट्वीट किया है जिसमें उन्होंने लिखा, “क्या यह मजाक है, इस पर विश्वास करना मुश्किल है। मैच फिक्सिंग का स्तर शीर्ष पर पहुंच चुका है।” उन्होंने आगे बीसीसीआई और आईसीसी के आला अधिकारियों पर तंज कसते हुए लिखा कि कब जागोगे। उन्होंने आगे लिखा, “ये बेहद शर्मनाक है कि क्रिकेट के अधिकारियों को इस बारे में कोई चिंता ही नहीं है।”

ललित मोदी ने ट्वीट के साथ एक वीडियो भी डाला है। वीडियो के मुताबिक, कोलकाता के बल्लेबाज रॉबिन उथप्पा के सामने दिल्ली के स्पिनर संदीप लामिछाने के सामने गेंदबाजी कर रहे हैं। वीडियो में लामिछाने की गेंद पर उथप्पा को चौका जड़ते हुए दिखाया गया है। लेकिन इससे पहले ऋषभ पंत को यह कहते हुए सुना जा रहा है, “ये तो वैसे भी चौका है।” पंत ऐसा तब कहते नजर आए, जब मुकाबला चौथे ओवर में था और रॉबिन उथप्पा बल्लेबाजी कर रहे थे।
