Do Palestinians typically see Israeli’s as white?

yeah. it's a white settler colonial state. the settlers are white. their interests are full of white supremacist ideals. they treat poc like shit. the settlers mostly come from europe and america. israel loves eugenics. it's whole thing is like. white.

Tales of Destiny complete!!!

I enjoyed playing it, but I think the story mostly fell a little flat for me. Part of it, I think, is because I played the official English release which removed skits, so I wasn't able to get quite as attached to the characters as a group as I might've otherwise. Still sad about that, but I still had my favorites (Leon.. ;w;) and they were enjoyable enough.

Most of what I enjoyed about Destiny were the art and the puzzles. So many of the environments and dungeons were cool or gorgeous and just downright AWESOME. I managed a good 90% of the puzzles on my own (tho a few stumped me enough to rifle through a guide, as well as some sidequests I couldn't be assed to run around trying to figure out myself) and almost always felt satisfied once I'd figured something out.

As for the combat, it was kinda neat? Pretty much the same as Phantasia (ps1) so I found it really easy. Actually, I don't think I ever fully died to a boss except once or twice early on. Even the final boss was super easy for me in both forms. I actually made myself stop my endless onslaught once or twice so I could at least see a few of his moves before I beat the shit out of him lskjdfklfsj tho that was largely bc I figured out that manually having Philia and Rutee spam high damage spells and getting Karyl (who I found out is called Johnny in jp which is hilarious) to use Golden Voice whenever Stahn had to regroup pretty much immobilized the boss so. Cheesed it a little?

I actually really liked Karyl too lol, he truly was the bard of the group.

All in all it was pretty fun but I wish the story was more engaging. I think if I went back and finished the Director's Cut I'd like the characters a lot more, since from the portion I played I noticed that bc of skits and such you see a lot more of the swordians as people and not largely plot devices as they felt in ps1 Destiny—as well as obviously more banter and connections between the main party.

Oh yeah speaking of Leon!! [spoilers ahead if uhh anyone cares. lol] WHO WAS GONNA TELL ME THAT HE DIES. WHAT. Like tbf I watched him get buried in rubble but I guess I'm just not used to tales games killing my actual party members so easily </3 even tho he'd left and technically betrayed us by then. sobs. I didn't even realize he died until we encountered Marian later and Rutee told her he was dead a;lksdjfl like out loud i was like 'HE'S DEAD???' so rip both of us. I liked him a lot I'm sad he met such a miserable end. Like!! when. uh. KRONOS that's the final boss's name anyway he brings him out and i was like YO?? AND THEN HE JUST. HE WASN'T EVEN ALIVE ANYMORE HE WAS JUST A MISERABLE HUSK BEGGING FOR DEATH AND I. NOOOOOO

anyway. my best boy. I pat his little head and wrap him in blankets forever. as the narrative refused to do for him.

Speaking of the main story again, I didn't feel completely disconnected from the emotional aspect of the ending. It was pretty sad to see everyone have to say goodbye to the swordians as they sacrificed themselves for their wielders and the world. And Stahn got really sad abt it so. I got a little sad too ;v;

The scene after the credits was nice as well (tho I uhh didn't actually know what they were talking about. I guess at some point Stahn said they should all go somewhere together in a year.) and the little epilogue text was neat.

So yeah!! Pretty alright title, tho I'm sure the Director's Cut will do it way more for me when I get around to it. So long Destiny crew, I will especially Miss Karyl's mostly terrible singing during battle <3

Yes que si hablo español JAJAJAJA I just thought it would be weird to straight up start talking in spanish but I really needed to reference that meme (and here’s the moment where I’m unsure which language I should keep using WJDIEBD) y no me molestaría que me compartieras el video<3 bc I don’t mind shipping!! I’m not hardcore either but I love the dynamics too so it’s hard not to agree with a bunch of ships lol

NO ACTUALLY FAIR tbh I did skip some flashbacks back in the first season (see: Syrup Village) and if it’s dragging too much bc of that I do skip the flashbacks

Fr no one can convince me these guys don’t curse, I love they decided to show that side of them AND how it is unique for both of their personalities (see: Zoro saying ass and Sanji saying arse) but yes a documentary about the process would be *chef’s kiss*

NADIE SE MUERE JAJAJA I just finished the Alabasta arc (thank gOD) and I lowkey cried for Pell juST FOR HIM TO COME BACK??? I’m glad but wth they’re going to make me desensitized/skeptical with future ‘deaths’ atp bc most of them seem to come back anyways

Zoro literally just said “Sorry, but…I’ve never once prayed to God” and I was like “holy sh*t that’s hot” just for him to freaking scream like Tarzan while swinging on a vine minutes later LMAO and two things: 1) is this a good lose my mind or a bad lose my mind?? and may I know if it’s during the 100s?💀😭 2) I’ve seen people saying pre time skip a lot!! Is that like a canon event that just happens and we don’t see that ‘time skip’ (kinda like the blip for the avengers) or is it like a time travel thing or something?? If the answer is too much of a spoiler I’m fine without knowing it, just sounds confusing LOL

I have my fair share of songs that I didn’t think I listened to them that much so I get it 😂😂 my #81 song is Not Fine by Day6!!! which feels kinda fitting to me rn ngl JAJAJAJA

AJAJAJ the constant struggle of wait what language do i speak in now. i tend to always go with english because i'm aware of how Chilean i am and sometimes people don't understand what i'm saying, so whatever makes you feel more comfy <3 this is the video it's SO stupid but it made me cackle and i couldn't sent it to my friend that's watching it because she hasn't reached alabasta or ace yet

the one thing i will complain about one piece (well, one of the things LMAO) is the flashbacks like yeah i do love how fleshed out all the characters are but man keep it short and sweet

i LOVE that sanji is the only one with a different accent in english from the straw hats, like it makes so much sense for his background this is all i can say without spoiling anything (y weno en español también acento canario de taz mi amado)

NO BUT SAME i was fucking sobbing over pell and then they were like teehee actually he's not dead 😋 there is a reason for that tho i think it had to do with 9/11 no i'm not joking LMAO

SKYPIEA ZORO MY FUCKING BELOVEEEEEEED everytime he says that when someone is like "omg you're gonna make god mad!" i went a little insane because yEAH MAN TELL THEM, and him doing the tarzan scream he's just a little guy he's feeling goofy and silly and we love him for it. also!! are you watching it in japanese or dubbed? because luffy sings an iconic song during this arc that everyone loves LMAO. it's a uuuh it's a mix LMAO and it's in the 300's i think. the only thing i will say about the time skip is that it's a canon event and nothing more because it's more entertaining that way teehee

ooof man now that's a song LMAO it could've been zombie which i would ask all good dear is everything ok (obviously the answer would be no)
