If you want to watch content about Greece, do watch the National Geographic documentary Europe from Above. It has six seasons so far and S6E1 is about the Greek islands. (In the second season they had done Greece in general again but I have already made a post about that one - both are recommended). It’s a very interesting documentary, even I learned things I had no idea about.
It has a few inaccuracies here and there but it’s overall surely above average. The biggest foul is not showing Crete for the winter segment - dude, Crete has countless mountain ranges and two that are ultra, what the hell are you doing in the fortress in Corfu?! 😭
National Geographic brainstorming how to show winter in the Greek islands:
Another one I remember now is them saying that mastic is used as gum and toothpaste flavour and that in the Middle Ages it was worth as much as gold… dude it’s literally one of the most potent natural remedies for digestion and gastrointestinal issues… 😭😭 how on earth do you know the rest but consider insignificant to mention that
But don’t let me doing my whiny thing sway you if you are interested. The documentary is really good.
Honourable mentions:
That dude who is a descendant of Laskarina Bouboulina?!?!??!?!!?! 👀👀👀👀
The Sims background music during Santorini’s segment caught me so off guard - well played National Geographic I give you that one
Story time: I have a (not so famous) app for reviewing movies and tv series and I went there to check the ratings and it’s the latest episode so it only has a couple ratings so far and one of them was giving one star. And I thought, what the hell, I understand it not being your kind of thing or expecting something else but this is just too harsh, there is literally nothing in this documentary indicating that it could even remotely deserve something close to a freaking one star out of ten! But then I forgot about it and I was about to write in the honourable mentions above about National Geographic casually Greeking it up and showing an anniversary festival for a sea battle of the Greeks against the Ottomans and it was literally like “so they set the Turkish flagship on fire and see how they revive this moment now and yeah after three tries the Turks never came back Greeks finally got rid of them”. And as I was about to comment on it, I realised, shit, that one star rating could have been Turkish. Imagine that Turk reviewer be like “I came here to have a good time and I’m honestly feeling so attacked right now” oh my goddd 😭😭😭
But okay, like I said, it has these moments that are a little funny but overall very good documentary!

وَلَا تَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَٰفِلًا عَمَّا يَعۡمَلُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَۚ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمۡ لِيَوۡمٖ تَشۡخَصُ فِيهِ ٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرُ
And never think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them for a Day when eyes will stare [in horror].
#how terrifying it must have been the for the children who saw bombs dropping right over their head#what was the fault of the nobel child?#the terror of those who survived and who knows any moment theu could be the next to witness the same faith#reminds me of the phrase Syrian surviver once said rockets are above us and above them is our lord#Israel has done too much wrong#it has gone too far#they are doing excatly what h*tl*r did to them#should Palestine have let the people who were kicked from Germany and Europe stay in their lands#is this what they deserve for sympathy they shown?#gaza#Palestine#the world remains silent

Hi did you make those keychains that other person was posting about? How did you make them?
Hi there
Yes I made the little keychain ^V^ (this one v)
I got help from this website :D
#what I did in details:#I drew the artwork then filled in the form linked above#then the order was sent to test#around a week later I was sent (as a mail) the result of said testing so I could approve how it looked#then after I'd approved it then the rest (I'd ordered around 6-7 of each keychain) would be produced and send my way from the UK#disclaimer: if you - like me - live in europe keep in mind that UK is not part of the EU anymore so you might have to pay toll#and it might may be a lot#(I had to pay around 67 euros for my my package which I believe was a fourth of the already paid price#granted I'd bought more than just the keychains - I had some double sided keychains and two sets of stickers as well#but it did do ouch :'D)#I hope this helps otherwise feel free to ask for follow up information ^V^#replies

having a tav that's a Lloth-sworn life domain cleric of a noble background who before getting yeeted into the nautiloid was a sacrificial priestess (gn) during one of the cycles of Drow society and had their own altar and temple under their care, means Solune would have the most insane however many minutes they spent interacting with Minthara and I am obsessed about it. As far as I'm conceptualising it, I'm thinking of Lloth as extremely Ungoliant-like. Goddess of hunger, goddess of wanting and consumption, goddess of excess and exuberance, goddess who unmasked the hypocritical gods of starvation, guilt and purity into a society that cherishes a certain kind of clarity about the double standard they impose. For Drow are evil for their wars and their wanting and their taking, but those other people with their other gods kill, warmonger and enslave with no regard and no self-awareness, calling the indignation about receiving scraps from a bunch of silent, unrepentant gods, "guilt and shame". There is violence in denial and her Children will not suffer it.
In the season of Life, they do not sacrifice the unwilling. It is taboo. The only sacrifice that matters is the desire to be devoured and destroyed by the things you love the most.
And Solune sees Minthara and is like fucking finally, someone rational enough to get what I'm going through, that they're losing their mind that their life was taken from them and if they become this other thing, if they transform, if they do not remain Luxe Solune Mizzmyrra, Life Knife of Lloth, they're never going to be able to be reintegrated into that life. They will die away from home, from their temple, from their (first) spouse, from their mother and their siblings and there won't be the day when they too succumb to the knife, when it is time, when the day they no longer feel hunger comes.
And then the parasite gives them an in into Minthara thinking she was raised from the darkness into a FALSE GOD? One thing you do not do is steal from Lady Lloth, and oh my god, there could've been a time, a chance that existed only in ignorance, of Solune lending a hand to Minthara but this to them is unforgivable because Solune is genuinely a good friend to their friends, but if you keep peeking into whatever mindset nobility and religious authority has given them it's like realising your friend is a cesspool of "what the actual and everliving fuck", and when the knife of the morningstar priestess comes down on Minthara it won't be with love but with absolute rage, grief and disgust and I will be thinking about this for evermore. Thanks, I'm not well
#bg3#bg: solune#minthara#i love Solune they're so fun to build with because it's like sometimes organically they will reach the same conclusion as Wyll about sth#(I did NOT expect them to get along but he is their highest approval followed by Lae'zel)#but it's someone who has such an Alien concept of society to literally everyone else in the party. Solune is (fundamentally!!!) land owning#power concentrating nobility and no matter what they do not matter what conclusion their reach this specific brand of social conservativism#and verticality informs them to their very core. however also and cannot be dismissed that bc of how I'm conceptualising Lloth#(sorry but to write a vertical society that just brutalises itself what is this? western europe? fuck off)#Solune is by some contradiction one of the most You Do You people possible. but like. to a weird extreme and a wouldn't thou like to live#deliciously manner. oh you want to be FREE from your past then BE IT. oh you want to find your place in the world? then let that place#consume you and change you forever until the day there is no more than hungers in you and you can truly say you have lived#terrible enabling force but also extreme nurturing capacity#and above all they want that life back and sympathise with those feelings so well#but if there is one thing they cannot stand and that they will maim you on the spot about is heresy against lloth because you were not give#the gift of unmasking the hypocrisy of the gods of the above to waste yourself turning your back against the underdark jewels of Drow citie#there where the darkness does not mean shadows but the glimmering light of jewels. what do you mean some people live unfair lives?#well have they thought living better???#i'm obsessed with Solune and whatever the fuck is wrong with them (it's money. it's having money)

USians you will be distressed to know that in the UK far right people use Trump flags, MAGA hats and even confederate flags to signify their allegiances to each other.
#saw the first 2 today#and have unfortunately seen the 3rd in the past#there was a massive right wing march in london today#i dont even know what the catalyst was-labour getting elected? reform not doing as well as they wanted?#either way it was FULL of the above and more#plenty of england flags- outside of international football this is basically always a racist thing#but also a TONNE of union flags#and a notable amount of welsh scottish and irish#is this some kind of right wingers unite across the country thing?#then there were a few flags from other countries in europe and also notably israel#tonnes of the lest we forget ww1 soldiers and poppies flag which is another right wing rallying point#though like country flags it isnt automatically one#going back to the trump thing- it would be tempting to make fun of MAGA used in the uk (and i did)#but its obviously the sentiment (make our country great again in a non specific way that's probably about hating immigrants)#that matters here. not being able to vote for trump doesnt bother them they just want to emulate him and support politicians that do#one guy even had a goddamn trump 2020 flag ffs#like yknow the election he LOST#anyway it was fucked i hate all of this#but it did make me think about the right's allegiances and values#both overt and hidden

it's wild that every single team in the bundesliga still has something to play for except darmstadt and arguably dortmund and leipzig
#everyone from gladbach (13) down is still in the relegation battle#and everyone from wolfsburg (12) up could still make europe#the 3 point gap from 12 to 8 is wild#and freiburg are only 1 point above that in 7#eintracht haven't clinched 6th though they could this weekend#and then leverkusen obvi wanna remain unbeaten#and i do think 2nd vs 3rd matters because of the supercup#so. yeah#bundesliga

#listen if you're living in western europe or america or canada or anywhere that's not next to the border of ukraine#and you feel the need to express opinions online about how ukraine's neighbours should handle this conflict just fucking don't#just shut the fuck up#i've seen so many dumb people - some americans some not americans#but all of them way too far away from the conflict#expressing opinions about the fact that russian drones apparently flew above romanian airspace#and how romania is stupid for not acting (as in escalating)#bitch you have no clue how real this war feels here and how real it's been ever since the first refugees arrived in our country#hell even i can't imagine how real it feels for people living 200 metres from the ukrainian border#having drones above their houses every night and knowing one slight military mistake could end their lives#i'm not saying that our authorities should do nothing which they basically are atm because they're some useless pieces of shit#but you and even i living hundreds of km away from the border can't fucking imagine what it's like to have your life on the line#so if you have an opinion just keep it for yourself cause none of us want to read it on the internet

i have made the decision that for my 30th birthday next year i am 100% going to new york (god bless cheap flights from europe to new york in september for whatever reaso......... ok now that i typed this. i think i know why the flights in september are cheaper. anyway.) one major problem remains. my debilitating fear of flying
#like how am i supposed to survive 10 hours or 8 or even 7 in a PLANE so HIGH above the ground???? how do people even do this??????#i see celebrities flying back and forth from the us to europe like its no big deal and i am petrified because. it's HIGH and so many hours!#i see my friends who already traveled to the usa so many times and they are like flying is not scary also you can watcha movie or something#and i think if i don't get unconscious drunk i won't survive but i also wouldnt be let onto the plane so. thats a non option#HOW DO YOU CONQUER the fear of flying in a plane. HOW#personal
