Chapter: Story 12: I Dream of a Promotion
Characters: Blue Djinn, Lord Guano
Blue is being oddly… flirty with Guano. What the heck is his goal here?
Blue is gonna use Guano to absorb the magic and then drain it from Guano to regain his power and even former body.
Or maybe she plans to be the real power behind the throne with Guano as a figurehead.
That’s my theory. Unlike everyone else, she knows Guano is a fraud. She should be able to totally push his buttons into leading how she wants him to lead.
Blue IS right about 1 thing: for as long as any mortal/genie can remember, has there ever been a Female Haji?
Based on what we know from The Melvin Chronicles, the position of Haji is actually relatively new to genie-kind. In the somewhat-recent past (as far as genie lives go), Haji managed to form an alliance of all the genies, with himself as the leader. The reason the position is called “Haji” appears to be because he named it after himself. There has only even been a single Haji.
I see. I just wanted to ask, that’s all.
Yes–since Kazom, etc. were active when Haji was rising to dominate all Geniekind, it means that this system of government has only arisen within the living memory of the older Genies.
I believe Haji means something like “guide” or “leader” so it may have been a title instead of a name to begin with.
But I’m totally cracking up about what looks like Blue’s plan to become Mrs. Guano. 😛
I think Blue has been more affected by being in Jeanie’s body than even he realizes.
One of the five requirements for all Muslims is to make the Pilgrimage to the Holy City of Mecca in what is now Saudi Arabia. This pilgrimage is known as “the Haj”, and a person who has completed it is called a “Haji.” That’s where the name came from; it’s actually a title.
Haji is “Haji” because that’s the name the head genie was given in I Dream of Jeannie. It’s also become a given name in the Islamic world–but what it really means is “one who has made the hajj“–the pilgrimage to Mecca. A man who has made the pilgrimage earns the honorific “Haji” and a woman “Hajah”.
As for what Blue is up to with Guano in this comic, my bet would be stealing Guano’s body like he stole Jeanie’s.
Blue doesn’t need Guano’s body, “she” has a Hubun Jadid… or did. Where did it go?
I think the Hubun Jadid is a one time use to join two Genie’s together so they can have children. I also think that it might be also kind of a bedroom scene Genie Style. I think that Hubun Jadid probably disappears once it performed it duty. That just a guess, but, I think that the way it supposed to work.
The question that I would like to ask is: What happens next beside the Blue Djinn being technically married to Guano now. Does the Blue Djinn get pregnant now or is the Blue Djinn pregnant now, because, that what the purpose of the Habun Jadid is supposed to be use for.
Unless the children of genies are born full-grown, Blue would have a bit of difficulty taking over as an infant. Plus, if sex-selection is as random for genies as for humans, Blue could wind up with another girl body, even if it is full-grown. Hijacking Guano’s body sidesteps both those potential problems.
Since the Hubun Jadid creates a link between two genies, maybe Blue thinks he can repurpose the link to possess Guano’s body. Maybe Blue can even swap her current body with Guano, something that would amuse Blue and all of us–especially if Blue leaves Guano pregnant. If you’ve read your Sailorsun.org, you’ll know that CD has used this twist before.
You’re assuming that Blue wants a male body. We don’t actually know that. And the evidence is pilling up that maybe he’s actually pretty comfortable as a female.
Blue is being flirty with Guano because Blue literally wants to mate with him, genie-style, which probably does not require a messy exchange of fluids. Why else would Blue steal a Hubun Jahid? Being reborn as a pure genie would eliminate Jean’s two weaknesses of being a formerly mortal bottle genie. Or maybe a child with Guano would give Blue an extra hold on him? It’s anybody’s guess at this point (except CD’s). Don’t forget that Blue is Rouyaa’s father and took her betrayal very hard, so he’s well aware of the emotional hold children have on their parents.
Being the power behind the throne appears to have precedent and seems to be working just fine for Lahab.
Also, looking back through the archives it appears that bottle genies are always female and lamp genies are always male. Is that correct?
As a general rule, yes, that is the case. But, it not set in concrete where you can’t have a male Genie in a bottle or female Genie in a lamp. There could still be exception to seeing female Genies in bottle’s and male Genies in lamps.
According to Kazom, it what the person thinks the Genie should look like that in the bottle or lamp. Jean was thinking of Barbara Eden when he picked up the lamp, so turned into a spitting image of Barbara Eden as a Genie. It has more to do with the person or genie thinks the Genie should look like when they first take possession of the totem, bottle, lamp. After that, it doesn’t change and there Core is set for all eternity.
Kazom’s totem is a bottle, and he shows a lot of signs of being male, as a man and as a cat.
I suspect that most of the genies in CD’s story are female has to do with CD preferring to draw female genies. This also seems to apply to Carlos, Hachimitsu, and the majority of genie artists on DeviantArt.
Nothing wrong with female genies… nothing at all.
Kazom totem isn’t a bottle it’s more like a lidded Bowl.
Generally it’s more based on what the mineral the totem is made of. Glass tends to be females. Metal tends to be male.
I forget where Clay falls in the spectrum.
Totems aren’t limited to bottles and lamps. In thge story of Aladdin, the first Genie he summons is from the ring given to him by the Sorcerer “Uncle”.
Blue can work that body better than Jean…
