I’m a bit upset people call him Avdol. It’s not a name that exists in Arabic, and even less Abdul on its own.

You can’t just be named Abdul when you are Egyptian and born there and raised there. I know the name exists, but not as an Arab living in the Arabic world, and I’ll tell you why. It’s gotta be Muhammed Abdul-Something

“Abdul” comes from the arabic “عبد” “Abdu” which means Servant (Of). The “L” means “The”. So his name can’t just be Muhammed Servant-Of-The.
Since he is named after the prophet, I’d say he’s Muhammed Abdallah, which is a very common name and means “Muhammed Servant Of God”

tl;dr arab people are underrepresented and misrepresented but I love Muhammed he is cute as fuck

edit:
>why it being a reference to Paula Abdul is not relevant and still problematic / why Abdul is a problematic name for a character born and raised in an Arab speaking country

this is really important and awesome. thanks for explaining this so well!

my skin is getting better!! my shoulders are almost totally healed after spending my entire summer vacation picking on them (bc i had nothing to occupy my hands with), and the routine of exfoliating my face/applying astringent lotion daily helped w/ my acne and makes my face feel fresher/cleaner. w/o acne i have nothing to pick on so it’ll be easier to control this sort of stuff.

also i’ve been drinking lots of water and eating like 3~4 fruits a day and i feel like it’s making some real difference, not only on my skin but on my body in general. i feel great and for some reason studying now makes me feel somewhat even better. i can see myself evolving and acquiring more knowledge and that’s really good. and this is only my first week!! i’m excited about what the future will bring
