I can't remember when it was that I learned the Nabateans were a real civilization of people that existed thousands of years ago. I thought it was interesting, especially since FE hadn't really branched outside of generic western European or Japanese themes till this game (Fortune's Weave looks SO exciting!!). But I hadn't paid any attention to this particular still till now.

The real Nabateans lived largely around Petra (Jordan) and Hegra (Saudi Arabia), and little is known about them beyond the tombs they left behind. I was completely shocked to discover the writers actually did their research here - I mean look at this! Zanado is literally west Asian desert! Here are some photos in the vicinity of Hegra:

(This last one is the main tomb Hegra is known for)

For all 3H's flaws, the world building is definitely not one, because they succeeded in making it pretty culturally diverse, lived in, and a mirror to reality in some ways. I haven't seen this particular example mentioned anywhere but taking the little we know about this ancient civilisation and adding in some similarly-coded fantasy elements elevates the story a lot for me. Maybe it's just the Persian in me speaking but it's so exciting to see different cultures finally being incorporated into fantasy mythos like this. There is Almyra, but we know so very little about what culture they're supposed to represent (Turkic? Arab? Persian???). Anyway, says a lot to still be learning new things about this game 6 years later.

That's exactly what's supposed to happen. People wish they could be activists, but they can't because they have to work in order to survive, so they make sure their children can be the activists.

Also, you're absolutely right that this is what privilege looks like. But for the 1,000,012th time, the word "privilege" is not an insult. Having privilege doesn't automatically make you a bad person, but it does make you more likely to have opportunities to be a bad person. It's also possible to use your privilege for good.

Would you prefer that she instead use her wealth to buy an excess of housing in order to profit and hoard more wealth? How exactly would that be the morally superior choice?

Young Haar for @soanvalcke! Thank you for commissioning me!

Back when he was a young dracoknight under Begnion and still had his other eye intact. I pictured him as a somewhat old looking teen.

Proof of identity under the cut! And if you like what you see, consider commissioning me on ko-fi!

This isn't Greta Thunberg’s fault, she couldn’t have been a better ally, but it’s so disheartening how her kidnapping and mistreatment for five days have rallied so many people, when what she went through is only a fraction of a fraction of what thousands of Palestinian men, women, girls, and boys, who have been routinely kidnapped, tortured, and raped to unimaginably evil lengths for months or even years, often to the point of death, have endured and are still enduring as we speak.

And I know that’s the whole point of why she did what she did. She knew that, as a young high-profile white European girl, her mistreatment would result in more uproar, and she intended to use that privilege to raise awareness of what is happening to Palestinians. That’s why the first thing she did after her release, when the press asked her to speak in detail about her own mistreatment, was to shift the conversation instead to how Israel continues to escalate its genocide against Palestinians.

I just wish people understood her message and gave the same energy toward helping Palestinians without waiting for a White Westerner to risk their life first.

Greta Thunberg in Greece:

"I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.

Israel is escalating genocide and mass destruction with genocidal intent, attempting to erase an entire population in front of our eyes."

October, 2025 - While German cops have been brutalising and arresting peaceful anti-genocide protesters for two years straight for the crime of supporting the human rights of the Palestinian people, one Palestine solidarity activist in Berlin seems to have used that time to study Judo. May the genocidal states of Germany and Israel be destroyed together! [video]

La polizia tedesca vogliamo ricordarla anche così

October 7 2020 - Riot police in Athens attacked the tens of thousands of antifascists who had gathered outside of the court house to await the results of the trial against the neonazi Golden Dawn party. (Coincidentally; it is estimated that in the 2012 elections 50% of police in Athens voted for the neonazis.) Antifascists fought back with molotovs, bottles and bricks. The judges declared Golden Dawn a criminal organisation and found the far-right group guilty of operating a gang of hit squads bent on eliminating their enemies, like immigrants, minorities and leftists.

The leader of the Golden Dawn and seven other MP’s for the party were sentenced to 13 years of prison. 57 other neonazis were convicted of murder, assault, weapons possession and either running or participating in a criminal organisation, and a total of more than 500 years behind bars was handed down by the court. The high-ranking Golden Dawn member who murdered antifascist rapper Pavlos Fyssas, a murder that ultimately led to this court case, was sentenced to life in prison.

The hearing was the biggest trial of fascists since the prosecution of the Nazis at Nuremberg after the second world war. [video]/[video]/[article]
