CONTEXT: the gaza freedom flotilla coalition aims to bring emergency aid (food, medical supplies, etc) to a starving and besieged gaza. activists and journalists from all over the world (including diaspora palestinians like dylan) will be participating, and they know the risk — in 2010 turkish activists attempting a similar mission had their flagship raided by israeli forces, who murdered 10 activists aboard (9 died on site and another died later from critical injuries).

here's the thing. I don't think that men and women can't be friends. I do think, however, that some men can't be friends with women. bc they are misogynists and don't see women as people. so if you as a man say men and women can't be friends I think you're telling on yourself

Tales of the Abyss has a lot of smaller details throughout the game. All over the world has fonic writing, and it does have meaning. Spoilers ahead!

There are signs:

Even the map and logo has fonic:

Funny thing about the logo is that East and West are switched despite dialog and the in-game compass matching our own world's. It also displays numbers one through ten, going counterclockwise. There is not an x in the language so six is "si." Pretty neat!

The fonstone has fonic as well (spoilers):

In Mt Zaleho, the fonstone that Ion reads has fonic writing on it. When translated, it is a repeating phrase of "but out of sight." The top most point was more difficult until I realized it was just upside down. This is funny in a meta way because the player doesn't have the ability to read the score, so the true meaning of the words is "out of sight." Kudos devs. Though it is understandable, I also wouldn't want to write that whole score on that stone. It was a lot of text!

Nam Cobanda has a lot of fonic examples along with the plentiful other references:

It is not the first time Abyss referenced Tales of Eternia (Destiny 2). Many of Anise' Dolls are references to the game, plus cameos can be seen in the Coliseum.

Dragon Buster has fonic copyright notices. The cowboy booth is labeled the cyclone/hurricane (most likely tornado because of common tornado picking up cows imagery). Finally, for now, there's boxes on the shelves with letters. Not sure what they would mean, but they're there!

Props to the game developers for putting so much work into this game. It is very fun to try to find and translate the little details! These were only a few examples I have found, but hopefully, it is interesting to others as well!

Just realized that the reason I love making friends on tumblr is because it’s exactly how you make friends on the playground as a six year old. No, I don’t know their name but they love mermaids too and built this awesome sand castle. No, I don’t know their age but their imaginary cheetah is friends with mine. You like this show? You like this character?? You can sing the theme song really loud??? Here is a flower crown. Here is a juice box. You can share my time and I might never see you again but part of you stays in my soul forever. In my mind we’re still on the swing set and the sky is blue and nothing will ever be wrong again.
