Bosnian, b.1959-

al-jazzar mosque in acre, palestine. completed in 1781, it was named for the ottoman governor ahmad pasha al-jazzar - also known as "the butcher" for his defeat of napoleon bonaparte at the siege of acre in 1799.

Me: "I think Ganondorf in mundane situations is so cute" Also me: "Ganondorf would annoy the fuck out of Rauru with mundane gestures."

“Thank you for joining me, Ganondorf. Please, help yourself.” Rauru watched as the Gerudo chief lifted his hand, gingerly plucking a sugar cube off the top of the small mound of similar, perfectly squared sugar cubes. Instead of dropping it in his tea cup, as he would expect any ordinary person to do, let alone a man who was considered a king by birth, he instead dipped it into his tea. His fingers, as large and unwieldy as they seemed, twisted the cube in the warm liquid, careful in keeping his own fingers as dry as possible while wetting the entire surface of the cube in hand.Once the chief seemed satisfied, he popped the sugar cube in his mouth, chasing it with a sip of tea. He proceeded to slowly suckle on the sugar cube, savouring it for a few moments, before his fingers would reach for another sugar cube to repeat the process over again. And again. Rauru had instructed his constructs to lay out the best Hyrule had to offer for their breakfast in the privacy of Hyrule Castle’s gardens. There were fruits, plump and unblemished, picked from the finest orchards Hateno Village had to offer. There were all manner of baked goods laid out in baskets, fresh butter and yoghurt, not to mention specialty jams that were difficult to procure. Though he was keeping Ganondorf close due to his suspicion, he still ensured that he was being as hospitable as a king inviting a fellow ruler should be. Yet, Ganondorf did not touch anything save for the tea and the sugar cubes, the dish quickly depleting of the square, sugary lumps, the victim of the Gerudo chief’s…eclectic manner of consuming tea. How else could he possibly describe this odd behaviour? “What.” Rauru blinked, suddenly aware of the Gerudo chief staring back at him. Ganondorf, for all the backhand compliments and underhanded threats he had offered Rauru in swearing fealty to him, was a man who preferred silence otherwise. The smirk that played at his lips was a clear indication to Rauru that Ganondorf had noticed Rauru’s consternation, his abrupt comment being purposeful and, admittedly, effective. Rauru cleared his throat, taking a moment to compose himself, before looking at Ganondorf with what he hoped was something that masked how he truly felt about this odd scene. “I was simply…curious. I have never seen anyone have tea in such a manner before. Is this a Gerudo custom perhaps?” Ganondorf stared at him for a moment, before letting his gaze drift to the sugar cube between his fingers, turning it over as if he were contemplating the question. His smirk widened just a mite before dipping the sugar cube into his tea, as he had done the past dozen of times. The dish holding the sugar cubes was noticeably empty on the table filled with abundance. “No.” “Oh,” was all Rauru could manage as he watched Ganondorf pop the last sugar cube into his mouth. He called a construct over, instructing it to refill the dish with more lumps of sugar, almost as if it would somehow assuage the strange mixture of confusion and embarrassment that welled in the Hyrulean king’s chest.

This was going to be a long morning.

And here is a lengthy but detailed and well written text on why a revisionist documentary called “A town betrayed” is not a good source to learn about what happened in Srebrenica.

In addition, there are separate posts about Višegrad and Prijedor.
