seriously though. seriously. considering just israel's perspective on this. tensions have been building and building after netanyahu's scary (and successful!) attack on the supreme court, there have been mass protests and escalation and repression by the most conservative, far-right government israel has ever had. support for the compulsory military service has been at its lowest point. not even considering the worsening of the demographic crisis (ultra-orthodox vs. jewish people from former soviet union countries vs. secular, etc.)
and suddenly there's this powder keg exploding that completely derails the israeli people's attention towards this one specific target - and you're going to tell me, you're gonna look me straight in the eye and tell me it's not convenient that it's happening right now? right now, when this government is being rejected, its many policies questioned including the occupation, and netanyahu desperately needed something to boost loyalty and completely destroy any nuance in the ongoing conversation about these issues, and this suddenly happens, and you are seriously telling me this, the oldest fucking trick in the book of any reactionary/authoritarian regime in action, isn't giving you even the smallest bit of pause before you lash out against "the palestinians"?? seriously???

Greetings, heya! I’m really sorry if this seems weird but I really need your help. I’m trying to raise some funds for my little Maverick’s needs (my cat) 🥲 as we are hoping to save his life through amputation. Please help me share the post I made for him, I have pinned it on my blog. I’m praying that you’ll consider, and terribly sorry again for bothering you and for being this direct 🙏 take care!
hey, dont go to this persons blog
im not sure if youre real and i dont wanna be mean
so hey! getting asks like this is extremely suspicious! if you are a real person, i understand that youre probably very worried and desperate. natural response, i really dont blame you
however, you have had your account for a single day, and everything about the injury mentioned is extremely vague and not able to be verified. for both of these reasons, i find it hard to believe that this isnt sympathy bait aka a huge scam.
if you are real? im extremely sorry for you, but there are extremely better ways to go about this! im not an expert on these things (followers, feel free to add places that donation posts like this do better/are more accepted, i know theres various subreddits for this aswell), but sending people asks on tumblr is really not a good way to do it, as most people will automatically assume youre a scam. following a blogger directly after sending these kinds of asks to them is also kind of suspicious ngl
again, apologies if you are a real person, but im choosing to actually help if you are real by saying:
bloggers are going to think youre a scam when you do this. im sorry, but thats just the culture around here

How would you feel if IS decided to release a Forging Bonds where Claude and Hilda acknowledged Cyril's situation prior to Rhea saving him, Hilda specifically apologizes to him for what her family put him through, and Claude specifies that one of his first actions upon becoming leader of the Alliance was to outlaw any and all indetured servants throughout the country and free all the ones that already existed, along with giving them support structures to help them get readjusted to normal life?
On the one hand, it'd be pretty much the only choice IS has at this point if they were to ever adress the slavery problem in Almyra, and the writing team for Heroes has clearly shown itself to be more than willing to go against stances taken by the Fódlan games, such as having Lissa call out Edelgard on how stupid her stance towards crests is, so it wouldn't be entirely out of the realm of possibility; on the other hand, they did go out of their way to conveniently skip over the part of Cyril's backstory where he was a slave when he was added to Heroes, implying they really don't want to touch that subject either, and it'd be really lame if such a major issue with one of the three major countries in Fódlan was only ever addressed and resolved in the gacha game.
Anon,
Have you seen/lived through Book 7 of FEH?
All jokes aside, I think that even in the case FEH suddenly bring backs writers from the fridge, that would teeter to close to "uwu challenging a House Leader" and we know, with the bonkers A!Ingrid FB's event, that this is something they will never do.
Claude (and Hilda) having to grow from their FE16/Nopes selves?
Nah, can't do.
In a way, I think the Nabateans (and Billy?) were able to be "tooled"/"more developed" in FEH because, as ridiculous as it is, they're not the main selling points of Fodlan.
Lissa and Supreme Leader's FB was really odd, because FEH dared to go in that direction (ditto with Mila and Hegemon!gard) - so maybe they could... or, as seen in Engage with Supreme Forehead, they will try to erase everything that made her controversial or a character to begin with, to focus on "uwu rivals uwu school friends uwu".
So, if Supreme Leader's situation is that "difficult", I can't see them give the same amounts of fuck to Claude -
And, as you pointed out, given how Cyril's BG was "modified" to make sure House Goneril isn't mentionned or whatever happened in Almyra, I don't they will ever care - even if there used to be a time (or is it still going on?) where Supreme Leader's MYH blurbs, just like Dimitri's and Rhea's were periodically edited/modified by IS (especially the JP versions, for reasons we all know :p ) so, who knows, maybe one day, Cyril's MYH blurb will also be modified?
As for the idea in general -
In the paralogue, Hilda sorts of feels sorry for Cyril's time as a "servant" in House Goneril, which is like, the minimal kindness-reaction she can give, but there are no other mentions of that situation in this paralogue.
Hell, later on, when Hilda goes to Holst after the battle, she checks on his health, and recovers Freikugel - no mention of "plz tell people not to pick almyran children or at least don't give them so much work to do because they're having a hard time".
And while I liked the idea, in FE16, of Hilda being a sort of kind and caring character, who still has a lot of prejudices against Almyrans - she is lazy and doesn't want to do her chores because she's afraid she will mess up, and yet, she can be lazy because her House is the only one mentionned in Fodlan that has "servants" who aren't fed everyday who do "hard work" - because while Tellius went ham on the people who are prejudiced against other races, sometimes racism means someone can be the kindest and nicest person you ever know... except not to some other group of people (iirc we get this with Lyn's grandpa, who didn't approve of his daughter marrying Hasan, a Sacean, and yet, through his few lines and appearance, we see how he is a kind (albeit feeble) old man - who finally managed to get over his prejudice on his "deathbed", only for him to recover and spend time with his granddaughter at the end of Lyn's story).
Of course FE16 couldn't give this character arc to Hilda - which is kind of a shame, bcs tfw an ultra minor NPC from FE7 can grow but not a playable character in FE16 - but as an idea and concept, it could have been nice.
Instead, both Hilda and Claude are in a kind of limbo regarding this issue, because their games want to push the CoS scarecrow, thus the source of "everything wrong in Fodlan" and so, human vice, human greed and human failings aren't explored in their routes.
FWIW, I don't think any major state and its issues are explored in the Fodlan games, save for, maybe, Faerghus thanks to Nopes - and the Fodlan games aren't really concerned with tackling racism, even if I still give them a spot above Tellius, since Tellius has "biological reasons for anti miscegenation", but even if the games don't pretend to make a huge point of being "anti racism", imo this issue is best presented in the Elibe games.
TBH, I'd prefer a FB where Cyril interacts with the Nabateans and/or calls them his true family, maybe to someone like Medeus and or Xane or even later Jahn when he will be released? who wonder why he is hanging out with Dragons when he is only a human, Cyril replying that human or not human, Rhea showed him kindness and saved his life when no one else cared, so she is his mother and savior, period.
End of FB ends up with the Rheas overhearing him and each taking a turn to hug him which embarasses him to oblivion, with Seiros the Warrior not participating because she doesn't know that human yet, but if there is that kind of human in Future Fodlan, then even if Adrestia will fall, her fight wasn't for nothing.
