i need to find that one post thats like 'sometimes you see a fandom opinion that's clearly wrong to you, but you realize YOU'RE the outlier for perfectly remembering that one sentence that disproves it in ep eleventy' cause i just realized that jon and martins ages are collectively mentioned in 2 episodes in canon, and not everyone might immediately remember them unprompted

after seeing your posts, i'm shocked at just HOW inaccurate the far cry wiki is— i've seen mistakes in wikis before, but never so many at once... thank you for putting up the truth here! with proof and everything. you're doing the lord's work 💕
Thank you :)
Well, not everything is bad on the Far Cry Wiki, and I’m sure many contributors want to do things right, but some of them clearly don’t care... On Sharky’s page, for example, the quote they wrote isn’t even his! And last time I checked that page’s history, I think he had had like 6 different ages, 5 years of birth, 3 heights, and 5 weights. I even remember that most of those edits had been made by the same contributor. Why??

I might be wrong about this but I’m pretty sure Alan Alda’s first grandchild wasn’t born yet when he made A New Life which would make the whole storyline where his daughter played by his actual daughter tells him she’s pregnant and then later he meets the baby hilarious… like what level of telling your kids you want grandkids is this….

Under the latest blog entries section you can see the dates some (not all) of his posts were made, the earliest being 7-20-07, and his age is listed in a section that doesn’t seem to change automatically
Sorry if this seems rude, just wanted to explain /gen
Ah I see. Yeah it could be that he just. Never bothered to change it or something. Just a tad confusing if that’s the case, just by a lore standpoint

sliman mansour - also referred to as suleiman mansour - is a palestinian painter, sculptor and cartoonist. he was born one year before the nakba in 1947 in birzeit, which is north of ramallah. he now resides in jerusalem. mansour is one of the most famous palestinian artists of all time, and palestinian american artist samia halaby considers him to be part of the liberation art movement¹. his art focuses on the concept of samud², or "a firm rootedness in the land." he is a founder of the league of palestinian artists³.

on using only palestinian materials during the first intifada⁴:
That was the philosophy of the intifada. When you read their literature and leaflets, it's about boycotting Israeli goods and trying to rely on ourselves. Most people were trying to do that, by planting their land or starting a small farm to live from. As an artist I thought, why don't we do the same? Why don't we search for natural materials to do our work from?
The mud came from my childhood memories. As a child I used to work with my grandmother when she was building beehives and even ovens with mud. And I was always around her, trying to help. So when I thought about material that I could use, mud was the first thing that came to my mind. After a while, once I started making figures, I realized that the mud also reflects the human fate with the cracks, people waiting to disappear, fall down and go away.
go take a look at his art. reblog with your favorite pieces of his.
mine is the village awakens (1988)

The song American Pie is such a fascinating phenomenon to me like.
I was born in 1988 and had no cultural like knowledge or feelings about Buddy Holly or The Big Bopper or anything obviously because they had not been... Alive when I was alive! I did not experiencewhat it was like to live through the plane crash they died in in real time! I have no experiential reference for that at all! And I also had no knowledge of what American Pie was ABOUT before my dad explained it to me when I was about 10. And even then it's like... okay, so these musicians died in a plane crash. That's sad. But like. There is no way to read the wiki article about this event and feel the way that this song feels about it! There just isn't
But American Pie is just it's such a masterfully crafted song musically and in terms of sheer EMOTION and the way all the metaphors somehow come together to make you be like "SO true Don Mclean" even though you have no idea what the jester stealing the kings thornéd crown Represents at all
Like I used to hear that song on the radio and BAWL. I don't know anyone who doesn't sing along passionately when it comes on the radio. Somehow the sheer feeling that he manages to put into the song itself just FORCEFULLY POSSESSES YOU even though you do not really care or may not even KNOW what the fuck event he is singing about! Like it's A CLASSIC and younger ppl with absolutely noooooo like, touchstone to what it Means are and will continue to be obsessed with it because it somehow just. (Gestures)
I feel really emotional about this when I think about it because I am not a musician but I am a storyteller and an artist and I feel like this is such THE goal of creating art to communicate some deep wrenching feeling about an experience you have had that somehow is so skilled at hacking into the feelings core of almost every human who consumes it in spite of them not relating to that experience AT ALL
I just think that's a really magical thing about the way humans can communicate through art you know? Makes me feel SUCH FEELINGS
