I already knew Jason Mantzoukas would be excellent but seeing him as Grand Father in Paper Girls confirms yes he's gonna be a fantastic Mr. D.

#he's already good at playing weird guys (pimento and derek) but ooh a role where he's uncaring and morally ambiguous? he can do it #jason mantzoukas #mr d #grand father #percy jackson #paper girls #i'm saying stuff

I am glad I am not living with my grandparents. If I do, my grandfather would have treated me like shit. He also wanted me to work more hours at my job.

Fate's Refusal to Honour (or at least properly research) Depictions of Non-Japanese Figures 2: Electric Bogaloo ft. Wandjina from the Current JP Summer Event

Disclaimer: While I am an Australian, I am NOT of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent. Therefore, I am coming at this issue from an outsider's perspective. If there is an Aboriginal person, or more specifically of the Mowanjum people from the Kimberly regions, please PLEASE correct me if I am wrong on any front.

The culprit behind the events of the current Summer story in the JP servers has recently been revealed to be Wandjina, a creator Dreamtime figure from the Mowanjum people's culture.

In any other context, I would be thrilled to have an Australian figure in FGO, but the problem here is the figure they use.

Wandjina are sacred to the Mowanjum people, and therefore one needs to go through Aboriginal Law to obtain the right to use the Wandjina's image.

In Australia, this resulted in an actual conflict between a non-indigenous artist and aboriginals. You can read more here, but one quote to note is from an Aboriginal man of the Darug people, Chris Tobin: "Aboriginal law is very specific on what you can and can't do with wan[d]jinas." Another quote on this topic is made by the owner of an Aboriginal art gallery, Adrian Newstead: "Only a few Aboriginal artists ever win the right to depict wan[d]jina, and only then after years of initiations and ceremonies..."

I am NOT attaching an image of FGO's iteration of Wandjina due to this. Not only is her appearance only Aboriginal on a surface-level with her 'dot art' aesthetic (dot art* is only a recent addition to Aboriginal culture, created back in the 1970s), having no resemblance to an Aboriginal person (note, that while many Aboriginal people are white/pale, FGO continually chooses to depict people of colour as light skinned as possible. And yes, I know she's blue, not white. There is literally no records of her being blue skinned; is this because Wandjina's are associated with rain????) but she is also not very Wandjina looking? These figures do not have mouths, have large eyes meant to resemble the eye of a storm and are typically depicted with elaborate headdresses. That little glowing boomerang on her head is not exactly elaborate. And WHY does she have a boomerang??? Because she's Australian???? By that logic, every Japanese figure needs to have a katana. #GiveMurasakiaKatana2023.

There is also the issue of Cnoc na Riabh. While it is funny to think that she's a foreigner because of an Australian influence, Yaraan-doo is also another Aboriginal figure. And it is slapped onto a white girl for a fan service event. I'd just rather Fate leave Aboriginal culture alone and just do, like, Ned Kelly or something if they're going to continue like this.

More resources and info under the read more!

You'll have noted in the quotes that I've edited an 'n' into wanjinas. This is so I didn't confuse anyone: both can be the correct spelling! I just stuck to what I thought FGO was using for their Wandjina.

Here's an overview of what wandjinas are and their inappropriate use in art: https://www.creativespirits.info/aboriginalculture/arts/what-are-wandjinas

Here's another page about an inappropriate use of Wandjinas (note: it's only a short synopsis about a documentary that covered the incident, I'm uncertain if you would be able to get access to the documentary outside of Australia): https://www.creativespirits.info/resources/movies/who-paintin-dis-wandjina

It should also be noted that the two websites I've linked above are from the website Creative Spirits. While it is run by a non-Indigenous person, the person behind it is currently transitioning it to be an Aboriginal owned and run resource. You can read more about how this site is run in his About page.

*If you want to know about dot art's origin, here and here are some resources on them. However, this article brings up something interesting that I would like to bring back to FGO Wandjina's dot art aesthetic. It notes that "the term 'dot painting' stems from what the Western eye sees when faced with contemporary Aboriginal acrylic paintings" (emphasis mine). All three articles note that dots were used to obfuscate sacred symbols and artifacts so that those who were not initiated into their cultures could not see what these figures were. In that case, what the hell is the dot art seen on Fate's Wandjina supposed to represent? In this article, it talks about the symbolism in Indigenous art. Fate's Wandjina has none.

I don't know what's funnier

The people of Mondstadt actually don't know who the Darknight Hero is despite Diluc's horrible disguise, except for Kaeya who is losing his mind because how!? But also thinking that yeah, that checks out why they all just readily accepted him despite him being an obvious plant.

Or

The people of Mondstadt actually know that Diluc is the Darknight Hero, but they've all agreed to just let their uncrowned king keep up his silly little vigilante fantasy and run around in his silly little disguise, because that's just good ol' sunshine child Diluc for you. None of them mention it out of respect.

#both of these are so funny to me #like Kaeya just screaming at people #“HE HAS BRIGHT RED HAIR!! AND WEILDS FIRE!!! AND HE HAS A WEIRD BIRD THEME GOING ON!!! WHO ELSE DOES THAT SOUND LIKE!?!?” #and some Mondstadt bloke just shrugs and #“Damn you think Master Diluc's a fan? Or that the Darknight Hero is a fan of Master Diluc!?” #but also on the other hand #two older ladies sitting in their little home at night and they see The Grand Darknight Hero jump across their balcony #“aww our little Diluc is having his fun again!” #“I remember when Crepus would bring the little one to his tavern and he'd chatter on about being a knight! #its good to see that his father's death didn't change him that much. Still the same darling child inside <3“ #and they just keep calling him the Darknight Hero because “its good for the development of the imagination to play along <3” #diluc #diluc ragnvindr #kaeya #kaeya alberich

I sometimes wonder if Orin and/or Durge got the Irenicus treatment from their family/cult - that is to say; torturing them constantly, filling them with pain and hatred, exposing them to gore and violence and death over and over and over, so that you can put fissures into them for Bhaal to push through and push them out of the way, strengthening his will/the Urge within them. It's a good way to force a Bhaalspawn to come face-to-face with their father and what they are. You will experience the high of the kill, the beauty of death, and the urge, until it washes you away. Fracture and erase the personhood; replace with god of murder.

Orin, according to the dev notes, once tried to resist and learnt the hard way that there's no way out of this hell for her. Did she actually run away at any point, I wonder? Durge has always needed "abundant assistance" in performing their duties, and had an entire (mostly) pre-Bhaalist life and identity that needing peeling away once they came to the temple. I mean, Bhaal kind of did this to them himself, what with the familicide, potentially massacred order and - according to the oathbreaker knight - constant "accidents".

#Kiddies you have a choice to make: round the clock torture and horror #or mind numbing ecstasy forced upon you as your god/[grand]father violates you #Which is it gonna be? #bg2 spoilers #babbling #/durge #/orin #villainous nonsense #edgelord hours
