Praying you’ll find Leon, too!!!

Please enjoy it! I also recommend Reel Bad Arabs by Jack Shaheen (specifically on Hollywood) and The Colonial Harem by Malek Alloula, which focuses on women. Both excellent reads and very accessible to a Western audience 🩷

Had to pick one game from each series, otherwise this would all just be FF and Rune Factory games.

Literally all I see

You should feel proud of yourself!! That’s phenomenal progress ✨🩷

I can’t really take this sincerely when they blocked me for not posting about the bombing when, in fact, I literally live here and I have.

Brown people are allowed to be mad about orientalism and our people being bombed at the same time. It’s not for anyone else to dictate on our behalf.

The “Behind the Name” page was a brutal callout thanks lmfao

Also im using this as a thread to throw down my middle eastern inspired mashups

(also middle east, MENA, SWANA, whatever u use most people are familiar w middle east)

So excited to announce that @elpisdarling.bsky.social & I've been making a matching Hannish-inspired vanilla mashup collab!

I designed a Sherwani for masc while Elpis designed a Sari for fems & importing our mashups in game.

Hope you all enjoy! 🫶

Anyways.

Zain Masri’s work with it has been groundbreaking!!! I really wish she got more recognition for preserving every single pattern AND making them all highly accessible for embroidery! 🩷🩷🩷

🧵Thread🧵

The game continuously forces the player to face the question: “If you had the choice to play god, would you? If you would, would you be up to the responsibility?”

The player’s journal is a constant reprimand, a reminder of the dangers of playing god like their ancestor once did.

(7/7)

If the player kills him, he weeps in joy at the mercy he has been shown. As the player walks away from his corroding body, his iconic monologue from the book can be heard.

If the player leaves him to burn, he weeps and laments his fate as they walk away.

(6/7)

The player is given one of three options:
- Liberate the creature
- Kill the creature with a corrosive substance
- Leave the creature to burn

If the player liberates him, he spends his existence in religious servitude of the protagonist and their “holy” bloodline.

(5/7)

He recognises the protagonist as the descendant of his creator and says that he would kneel in worship of his god’s blood were he not bound to the pyre and once again pleads for mercy. Here, the protagonist is given a name: Frankenstein.

(4/7)
