Chapter 12: The Daughter of Meriam

In preparation for her first shift back at work, Jaden takes Shez up on her offer for a 1:1 self-defence refresher.
Along with a boost in confidence, and finally being able to put theΒ  events of that one awful night to rest, Jaden learns that she and Shez are much more alike than she once thought.

It's finally time, ladies >:3c Thank you for your patience, and buckle up!!!
The first iterations of this chapter have been in the works since late 2019, I am literally off the walls excited I may explode!!!!!!!!!!!

Binging really made it easy to fall in love with the characters, but i think there is also something nice about waiting for new updates with other readers. Can’t wait.

I remembered Shez’s last name is Meriam, as well as the title “The Daughter of Meriam” here – is that just in reference to her mother having the same last name, or did she change her last name to her mother’s first name as a way of moving away patriarchal naming conventions? If the latter, that makes her all the more iconic (but that’s just a guess on my part) 😍

Ah so I’m on mobile so I can’t reply to comments, but @ Rusty’s reply to the comment above, I never knew Muslim Malay people follow such a similar naming convention as Iceland! The Icelandic naming convention is your father’s name + dΓ³ttir or son, so if an Icelandic person has a father named JΓ³n then their last name would be JΓ³nsdΓ³ttir or JΓ³nsson.


Although matronymic names have been gaining popularity over the past few decades or just naming kids after both parents, so for example if a couple named Helga and JΓ³n had a daughter and wanted to be a little more progressive they might have their daughter the last name HelgudΓ³ttir JΓ³nsdΓ³ttir.


However unfortunately all too often if women dare give their children a matronymic last name while the father is still in the picture they get heckled for “destroying Icelandic tradition and culture.”

Like my friend gave her children matronymic last names even though she’s still happily married to the father of her children, so now both her family and her husband’s family are always giving her shit for “trampling on Icelandic culture and tradition” for not giving them just a patronymic last name πŸ™„

It’s quite the whiplash to jump from the peak of gendie bullying and insanity to what will (hopefully) be wholesome bonding between Jaden and Shez…

But I’m relieved, I don’t know how much more I could take of Brick, Tiffany, Babygirl and co lmao. They’re hilarious but I can only cringe so much in one chapter! (I’m terrified of seeing where the board game thing with Blaire goes ofc lmao.)

Huge fan of how this page looks, and eager to see where the story goes!

This has to be my favorite page of lb, because of how the name foreshadows what’s to come, and just how powerful it is when a daughter takes her mother’s name to me:)

recently i started boxing again and i’d be lying if I said that this chapter didn’t come to mind on my first day back 😭 i actually even have the same skin tone and height and eye color etc as shez so that probably helps,, ok what im trying to say is that shez lowkey was part of the reason i decided to get fit again and she’s a v important character to me. obv i dont expect to get shez-levels of buff but its still awesome seeing all the different body types in Lease Bound πŸ™Œ
