[foibles-fables]

   Something about the Horizon games that feels like it should be a major theme, and almost it but isn't quite "reached" is the concept of indigeneity as an antithesis to the ideology that ended the world (over and over) & created the villain of all 3 games: Faro/Far Zenith/all the silicon valley Musk-esque colonizer tech billionaire corpos who only see the Earth/the land as as a rock to vampirically leech for resources for their own gain.

   The antithesis for this, and the reason why the "primitive tribals" will win over that "advanced" ideology & Nemesis is because they are indigenous and view the Earth as a home, their home worth fighting for, not something to extract for resources before ditching it and living it to die.

   And it feels like the end of the 2nd game moves a bit towards that theme, with the protagonist and other major characters developing slowly towards that ideal as a (tribal) group, so the third game, with all of the world's tribes banding together, should really hammer this theme in as the final thesis. At least it should, it really should.

   Also, on a related note, I'd love to see at least 2 things/missions happen in the 3rd game:

   Since the an early version of the  APOLLO database was obtained, I hope that GAIA has read through much of it and learning about the Old World, specifically how many tribal indigenous people existed and how they fought to keep the Earth safe as colonization ravaged the climate and caused the crises. How, even though datapoints in the metropole praised tech billionaires & trillionaire Ted Faro for the "Claw Back", they only "saved" the climate (for only a few decades) to profit off of it, and in the end this same thing led to  Zero Day/the Apocalypse since their voracious hunger & disrespect of the earth & worship of money continued.

   GAIA reading through these bits if history, and especially pondering on the fact that so much indigenous knowledge was destroyed before it could ever be stored in the APOLLO archive, and gaining a newfound appreciation for tribal cultures would be great to see. Sylens' reaction would be funny too, since his character development has only just barely started and seeing the super intelligent AI praising the "superstitious primitives" he looks down would irk him and his Zenith/Faro-like superiority complex at first.

    Anyways, imagine if one of the early missions is based off of this, and GAIA acts a bit like a mom and subtly pushes Aloy to return to the Sacred Lands and reconnect with the Nora tribe. GAIA can use the pretext of wanting to Aloy repair the Cradle facility enough to communicate directly with the Nora, and Aloy can go with Zo can go talk to Varl's mother Sona.

   As a protag, Aloy is disconnected from her tribe and without Varl there's like no Nora rep, and even though the second game hints towards some development, Aloy ironically has some of Sylens' tribal superiority attitude, so it'd be a great opportunity for some character development and the theme of indigeneity being touched on as she retreads old ground.

   Even though GAIA Prime and its data blew up and all, but it'd be cool if in GAIA's last transmission to the Nora Cradle facility she instinctively stored some memories that Aloy can restore of GAIA watching over the Nora over the centuries leaving the Cradle and building their civilization, and also some recordings of GAIA's later conversations with Elisabet that did not make it into the root kernel copy Aloy rebooted her from.

    And after going through the archives and memory, GAIA looking at the Nora ideology and how they kept close to respecting of the land that they worshipped could be used to nor how the Nora's tribal culture is analogous to real world tribal cultures. GAIA should recognize that ideology as valuable in the fight to protect Mother Earth, after all, themes and all that. She could, speaking through the Cradle door, ask the High Matriarchs and the rest of the tribe to help her rebuild her facilities in the area in the absence of machines that initially built it, like a Nora maintenance crew.

   The 2nd main mission I'd love to see would probably play off the 1st, but while Aloy is reconnecting with her tribe, GAIA has a task for her to head further up north, out of range of the signal towers of Regional Command Center, into the Cut so she could make contact with CYAN.

   It'd be the first time since rebooting GAIA that Aloy and Zo wouldn't be able to talk to her, and Sona could offer to petition for a Seeker's mark to join their crew, and add some non-Aloy Nora rep on the team, while they head north, which GAIA thinks is a good idea.

   Besides just wanting to contact CYAN, even though the command center that MINERVA bunkered in has pretty decent range, it's not infinite, so GAIA wants to ask CYAN to connect her telecoms network to hers to increase her reach, which would probably be a long-term goal of Horizon 3 if we're going global to all the tribes to fight Nemesis.

   Obviously, Aloy would have to appear in person & give CYAN an encryption key & assure them that it's really GAIA trying to communicate & not HEPHAESTUS trying to hack them again. But after that it'd be cool to have CYAN on the team.

   Just those 2 missions would already take the player into so many different places, and there's so many more people would love to see, like actually seeing Ban-Ur, the Banjo homeland instead of just the Cut leading to it (we gotta check back in the Banuk, their culture is so cool), and also the Claim (Oseyan homeland) west of Ban-Ur, and the Savage East because apparently there's a bunch of tribes out East of the Sacred Lands that we hear little about. And that's not even mention going to the Quen territory, and also possibly going to South America & Africa and see what the tribes there are like, since if Aloy's mission is to gather all the tribes in the world to fight Nemesis, it should really feel global.

   They should probably do it like how Burning Shores was added, with most of the in-between area left blank and a flying/riding cutscene to connect the chunks of playable territory, or else the game size would get so fucking gigantic lmao. As long as we get to explore whole new areas and travel with our companions, I'm good.

You've pretty much said it all here re: the core conflict of the series! You've nailed both the thesis and antithesis--and also how it hasn't quite DUG INTO that theme yet.

This is one of the reasons why I lament the Zeniths being brought in as a game two baddie instead of the series culmination baddie. I just...still don't jive with the concept of Nemesis and I think being faced with the Zeniths themselves would've been a more thematic way to approach the colonizer vs. indegeneity concept. I also thought we'd be getting a LOT more about the Clawback in HFW, so...maybe we can hope for more in H3?

I absolutely believe that we'll be going to the Sacred Land in H3! However, I'm not so confident it'll have anything to do with GAIA or ELEUTHIA-9--I think we'll be going that way to (re)visit Metallurgic, as it's one of the companies named in Londra's data in BS. Plus to see Sona, as you said! We already know Zo is heading there herself. But your quest ideas sound AWESOME, and I'm truly hoping we do see Ban-Ur and The Claim this time around. It'll be interesting to see if/how they handle CYAN, since, well, DLC content. Plus she already rejected GAIA's friend request in HFW, so. Lol. I miss her too.

I don't think the rest of the world will be part of H3's narrative scope--but I do think it's prime for some rich spin-off material, which I truly hope we get!!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, nonny!!! Keep 'em coming!!!

[autismmydearwatson]

For all he lacks as a writer I think Tim Zahn has a track record of writing women really well. Our star pupils:

Admiral Ar'alani: a star original of Zahns, a badass military leader, ruthless, intellectual, loyal to her country only, but just so good and kind, she even goes through a mini arc of overcoming racism. She is cool enough to stand on her own as a character but also functions as a valuable influence on thrawn himself. The only bitch in the Ascendancy who is allowed to serve cunt in white. Once prompted another military force to send out a medical unit so the opponent would kill them #war crimes. Returned in Treason to tell thrawn how disappointed she was. Also a trans lesbian what who said that

Thalias: a Zahn original. someone once said that she was an example of "traditional feminine values done correctly" and I'm inclined to agree. Wanted to babysit a child soldier while having no experience being a caregiver. In love with thrawn until she spent a day in a box with him and decided to be his sword and shield instead. Compassionate and also VERY manipulative and opportunistic and able to turn a situation to her advantage. Pulled a gun on the Patriarch??? Savage in her loyalty???? Your honor I'm a sucker for a dog motif character.

Padmé: I think the reason Zahn could write Padmé but not Anakin/Vader is because in order to write Padmé you have to know how to write Thrawn to some degree. Both thrawn and padmé are opportunistic, cunning, analytical, and they both have an infectious desire to solve problems that's eating them whole. Padmé has all of this and more in Alliances, added with a little bit of sick yearning for her husband. Flawless.

Karyn Faro: another Zahn original, oh faro the woman you are. Her boss lets her talk shit to his face. She once commanded the chimaera in a battle while thrawn was on the opposing ship. Assumed that Darth Vader was just sleeping behind his mask. Zahn had to have Thrawn promote her because he knew that she couldn't die in the Purgill Event of Season Four.

Arihnda Pryce: Arihnda. Arihnda. Arihnda. Manipulative gaslight gatekeep failgirl. Class traitor. Clawed her way to high society and kicked down her friends and family all the way up. Colonized her own world. Hates her boss but too scared of him to admit. Singlehandedly brought down the entire TIE Defender project. She sucks <3🙏

CBS Ghosts hc

The area where Thorfinn was confined to in death was only occasionally occupied by the Lenape before the white colonizers arrived, since Lenape were only semi-sedentary, and moved between their village and seasonal camps every year, as well as relocating every one or two decades, to avoid overtaxing the natural resources.

Between Thor's and Sas' deaths, only a single person became a ghost within the area Thorfinn was confined to. That person got sucked off after a while.

It took Thorfinn A LONG time to get used to the Lenape allowing men to perform shamanic roles, because to him they were too similar to seiðr, a type of magic which in Norse culture it was considered very unmanly. He knew male Finns and Odin practice seiðr, but Odin was Odin, so he was an exception, and he had always found it wrong when a male Finn preformed seiðr.

Thorfinn would watch people teach new words to Lenape babies while learning the Lenape language.

Thorfinn wasn't too impressed by Sas when he was alive. Not because he wasn't a warrior, but because he was too much of a dreamer, instead of a doer and not assertive enough. Watching him pine after Chiki without making a move was infuriating.

When Sas died, thorfinn tried to make a man out of him and tech him things he wished he could have taught Bjorn. It didn't work. Partially because they are ghosts, so they can’t do a lot of manly activities, partially because Sas wasn't on board.

Despite not wanting to adopt a Viking mentality, sas was fascinated by Norse culture and mythology, and eagerly listened to asked thorfinn about his people, as well as other places he had been to.

Thorfinn had been to Constantinople ( now Istanbul), East Europe, Greenland and Ireland, the British isles and the Faroe Islands before travelling to America.

Thorfinn was actually excited about seeing Sas try his hand as a a storyteller.

Exploring the Rich Tapestry of the Faroe Islands History, Culture, and Weather

Nestled in the North Atlantic Ocean between Norway, Iceland, and Scotland, the Faroe Islands constitute an archipelago of stunning natural beauty and captivating history. These remote islands, characterized by dramatic cliffs, lush green valleys, and picturesque villages, have a unique cultural heritage shaped by their Norse origins, rugged terrain, and maritime traditions. In this article, we delve into the fascinating history, vibrant culture, and ever-changing weather that define the Faroe Islands.

History:

The history of the Faroe Islands dates back over a millennium, with evidence of human settlement dating as far back as the 6th century AD. Originally inhabited by Gaelic monks, the islands were later colonized by Norse settlers from Norway in the 9th century. These settlers established a distinct Norse culture and language that still prevails today.

Throughout the centuries, the Faroe Islands were subject to various external influences, including domination by the Kingdom of Norway, followed by the Kalmar Union with Denmark in the 14th century. In the aftermath of the Protestant Reformation, the islands came under Danish control and remained so for several centuries.

In the 20th century, the Faroe Islands gradually gained greater autonomy within the Kingdom of Denmark, culminating in the establishment of Home Rule in 1948. Today, the Faroese people govern their internal affairs, including cultural and economic matters, while Denmark retains responsibility for foreign affairs and defense.

Culture:

The culture of the Faroe Islands is deeply rooted in Norse traditions, with a strong emphasis on community, storytelling, and the sea. The Faroese language, closely related to Icelandic and Old Norse, is the official language and serves as a symbol of cultural identity.

Music and dance play an integral role in Faroese culture, with traditional folk songs known as kvæði and chain dancing still practiced during festivals and celebrations. The islands also have a thriving contemporary music scene, with local bands gaining international recognition for their unique blend of traditional and modern influences.

Fishing has been a cornerstone of the Faroese economy and culture for centuries, shaping the way of life and providing sustenance to the islanders. The annual Grindadráp, or pilot whale hunt, is a controversial tradition that continues to divide opinions both locally and internationally, reflecting the complex relationship between tradition, sustainability, and modern values.

Despite its remote location, the Faroe Islands have embraced modern technology and innovation while maintaining a strong connection to their cultural heritage. This blend of tradition and progress is evident in everything from architecture and design to cuisine and literature, making the islands a dynamic and intriguing destination for visitors.

Weather:

The Faroe Islands' weather is characterized by its maritime climate, with mild winters, cool summers, and frequent precipitation throughout the year. The islands are often shrouded in mist and fog, lending an ethereal atmosphere to the rugged landscapes.

Due to their location in the North Atlantic, the Faroe Islands are subject to rapid weather changes, with sunny spells giving way to sudden squalls and shifting winds. This unpredictable weather adds to the island's allure but also presents challenges for residents and visitors alike, requiring preparedness and flexibility when exploring the outdoors.

Despite the ever-changing weather, the Faroe Islands offer a wealth of outdoor activities, from hiking and birdwatching to sea angling and kayaking. Each season brings its own unique charms, whether it's the vibrant colors of spring, the endless daylight of summer, or the dramatic storms of winter.

In conclusion, the Faroe Islands stand as a testament to the resilience of a people shaped by their environment, history, and cultural heritage. With its captivating landscapes, rich traditions, and dynamic climate, this remote archipelago continues to enchant and inspire all who venture to its shores.

December Morning - Kim Simonsen - Faroe

Translator: Randi Ward (Faroese)

The shore is soaked; the stones are slippery with green algae. I gather a handful of red whelks from a fresh tidal pool. I kick a limpet loose. At first light, between seaweed and the tides of time, morning is set in motion: a tipping bucket, an opening gate, a bygone vision of black ships sailing upon the sea’s canopies of plankton.

The gloomy sunrise has ended up a bright morning. The house is quiet; everything waits and wonders. The flowers are all gone; the bulbs and rhubarb are at rest. Now that I’ve circled the sun for the forty-fourth time, I’m learning to live here. The lawn is dying. A red berry on a branch dangles in the wind.

The steady roar of the waves— the shore transformed each morning. Kelp that swayed on the seafloor last night is wracked up in heaps of tangled blades and dead stalks on the sand. Birds sit on a branch. Small brown slugs slip under drifting leaves. Green moss colonizes a tree trunk; yellow fungus works its way into the wounded bark. The dead grass reaches all the way up to my knees.

To know that everything is an other world, always an other world. The grit of frosty leaves sandpapers the street. I come back in with my eyes watering from the cold. Ice crystals sparkle from a thousand directions at once. The sun is setting on the children walking home; the very tracks of their treaded soles are loved. Heavy sleeves of wet snow hang from branches.

I haven’t seen a brown slug since last summer. I’m trying to find my voice here. Wishing not to grow older is really about not wanting to lose my childhood again— not wanting to lose anything else at all. To stand amid the rising tide and undulating landscape clinging to the sand, and the red and brown seaweed, trying to take it all in and with me, trying not to forget anything inside this crumbling house. The wake of caving memories hits like heavy surf— to know that everything is an other world, always an other world. Fingers, red and tingling. The slug eggs scattered throughout the yard lie in wait.

The soil is black. The withered grass is brown, matted and stiff with wintery glaze. The sun lowers its cold gaze. We wait without knowing what’s going to happen.

The house is empty during the day. Furious squalls blow in off the bay. Breakers rip seaweed up and sling it about the sand. You aren’t here. A solitary cat slinks into the fenced yard. It will be dark again soon. Each day ends more quickly than it begins. Gusts send sand and blades of grass swirling against the window. The cat has vanished.

Time etches itself in ripples and grooves on the grey sand. Few friendships last. Everything is as banal as this sand. It’s raining more and more here, and families aren’t what they used to be. That’s what the experts say. The dead fish that washed ashore is shriveling up in the sun.

The landscape is the same. Once again, I’ve returned with the feeling that I’m living in a time warp – like I’ve arrived twenty years too late or too early – as though I’m slowly falling all the while smiling to the passersby. To daydream about the cold on a December morning and know that I’ve lost everything here— that nothing is as I remember it, that here the world is a blurry photograph superimposed on another bleary image until all faces are shattered and distorted by time.

A starling flock lights above red and black currant bushes. You’re crying on the phone again. A land is a construct that has to be recreated each day; this goes for the state and the nation— but not the landscape. We wished we could disappear in each other’s eyes.

I move through the trollish gorge between all that was, all that might now be, and all that may or may not come to pass. There’s a strength in the people who choose to live here but also great sorrow. I’ve turned off my iPhone. The starlings have flown; the berry bushes are still.

How many languages is Donnie/Galois fluent in at this point?

Hmm, that would kind of depend on what you consider 'fluent'. He's gotten pretty good with Greek, but he'd have trouble speaking it and wouldn't be able to hold a conversation. He can understand it when it's written out, and to a point when he hears it. He's like that with most Romance languages because Donnie knows Latin and studied Vulgar Latin as a kid, so he catches onto those pretty fast. (also-New York, they hear a lot of it) And West Germanic languages, because English is one of those and he's familiar with how the rules work. Greek is really far apart on that tree-though to be fair, he's studying more Hellenistic/Medieval Greek, since those are where Yokai dialects branched off, and Latin stole a bunch of shit from Greek, so it's probably not too terribly difficult. So basically-he can really only 'speak' English and ASL. Or TSL.

He's also learning Mandarin and Japanese, because a lot of Yokai speak that. (he learned some Japanese from Splinter and started studying it more seriously when he found out his dad was actually From Japan and didn't just copy a Japanese accent from someone, but he wasn't that good before he was kidnapped) And probably some other stuff, but this is where I'm hitting a snag.

I mention 'Yokai glyphs' in a previous chapter, which is the written language I figured the Yokai of the Hidden City would have formed and standardized as their Official Language-before the humans swept through and everyone just started speaking English. This pidgin or creole language would have been mostly comprised of the languages spoken by the major groups present-so like, Japanese and Mandarin were really common, because a lot of Yokai are from Japan and the parts of China where they speak that. Norse, like what Draxum probably spoke at a child, had relatively little influence because there were comparatively few speakers. (read: most Norse Yokai died) So in trying to decide what other languages would have been prominent, and thus what languages Draxum is having Galois study in order to understand the evolution of their language, I have to decide where there were large groups of Yokai who fled to the Hidden City en-masse. I've mentioned that there's a very large Indian population there, partially because most of them fled due to political unrest and fear of disease, not because humans were actively murdering them and burning their houses down. Considering how culturally diverse different regions of India are, I'd have to do some more research on where exactly these Yokai were and what language they would have spoken. And there's probably some other groups that I haven't even touched on in the fic, but it's all rotating in my brain like a microwave, don't worry.

That was...a really long answer that didn't even really answer your question, wasn't it? Pardon me. I'm really awful at languages, but I find the evolution of languages absolutely fascinating. Playing with the Yokai worldbuilding is so fun because there's a lot of blending with cultures that historically did not mix in our world, and they did so without that colonization bullshit. Draxum is a faun, which are from Greek mythology, who lived in the Faroe Islands with a bunch of Viking descendants and now he lives in New York's basement wearing a yukata. It's just-there's so many layers to that, how it all got there.

Oh, and Galois also speaks French. Because that's funny.

Also, for the "why did no one stay?"

It's the same question for why Europeans didn't find Norse settlements when they arrived in Newfoundland; they died. The Norse settlers in North America died out. The pre-Norse inhabitants of the Faroe Islands died out.

Same thing happened to the Vikings that settled on Greenland. Those settlements died out in the middle ages, and there were several hundred years with no contact between Denmark/Norway and Greenland.

The only reason Greenland is part of Denmark today is that a Danish priest went and colonized it in 1721.

*guy who has been having fun on Wikipedia voice* there was a 6th century Irish saint that may have discovered the Faroe Islands before the Norse settled there in the 9th century
