It is ten o’clock, or perhaps eleven, it’s late, it’s early, the sun rises, night falls, the sounds never quite cease altogether, time never stops completely.

You see, one loves the sunset when one is so sad.

No one wants to believe that the garden is dying, that the garden’s heart has swollen under the sun, that the garden is slowly forgetting its green moments.

I was walking down the road with two friends when the sun set; suddenly, the sky turned as red as blood. I stopped and leaned against the fence, feeling unspeakably tired.

I felt like I was sort of disappearing. It was that kind of a crazy afternoon, terrifically cold, and no sun out or anything, and you felt like you were disappearing every time you crossed a road.

'İnsan her şeyin ölçüsü.' İşte bu düşünceyle bir anda bit kadar bir varlık birden hürmet edilesi bir mertebeye yükseliyor. Artık tek yapması gereken haddini bilmek olmalıdır.

Her şey onlarla başlar.

O zaman düşün neydin dün, nesin bugün.

O vakit anlarsın yarın da olacaksın ancak bu kadar. "

‘’…Hayal hayatın temel yapı taşlarından biridir. Bizim hasmımız değil, bizi ayakta tutacak vasıtaların en önde gelenidir. Heraklit kainatı hiçbir planı olmayan zaman tarafından tanzim edilmiş bir karmaşa yığını olarak görüyordu. Zamanı da istediğinde devirip sağa sola saçtığı istediğindeyse düzenli bir biçimde üst üste dizdiği renkli taşlarla oynayan bir çocuğa benzetiyordu. Ne kadar yerinde bir teşbih! Zaman bir hükümdara, bir sanatçıya benzer. Amaçsız tutkularını vücuda getirerek önce dünyayı peşlerine takarlar. Sonra da bizi anlamsızlığa, boşluğa iterler.Bir taraftan da kendi yarattıkları kanunların kölesi haline gelirler. İşte böyle bir dünyada yaşıyoruz. Dünyayı işleten kanunlara karşı çıkabiliriz elbette. Ama biz de bu kanunların parçasıyız ve onlardan kurtulma imkanımız da yok. Kısacası burası hataların ve hayallerin en önemli faktörler olduğu bir dünya’’

So, I wanted to talk about something, but first, the article in the third photo can be found here.

Alright. First thing(s) i wanted to talk about:

- Alamut Castle is a real place in Iran; Masyaf (which i doubt was supposed to have anything to do with the castle or the city in Syria, knowing that AC1 takes place in Jerusalem, which is in Israel) was inspired by it, not the way around.

- "Alamut" is also a novel by the Slovenian writer Vladimir Bartol 'based on the historical Hashashin sect of the medieval Middle East'. The novel was an inspiration for Assassin's Creed.

Second batch of things i wanted to address:

- AC Mirage takes place in Baghdad, which is Iraq's capital, and while Iran and Iraq are neighbours, the city would be very far away from the Alamut Castle.

- In the time frame AC Mirage is happening, it would be impractical to bring apprentices all the way to Alamut just to train them and then bring them back to Baghdad. (or bring them back to any other place I guess but Baghdad because that is the place in question for Basim)

-While the landscape of the training place in the trailer where Basim trains with Roshan does look mountainous, it could have been anywhere else (i admit, Alamut would make more sense)

Another thing I wanted to mention:

- I imagine people travelled by carriage or cart in the time period AC Mirage is happening in, so the way between Baghdad and Alamut is not only long but is mountainous all over, not just at the Castle, so it would be a double pain in the arse to get lots of people to and from there constantly.

Just wanted to point shit out, idk what I'm doing.

If a person realized that everything people call happiness, love and joy was just a miscalculation based on a false premise, he'd feel a horrible emptiness inside. The only thing that could rouse him from his paralysis would be to gamble with his own face and the face of others. The person capable of that would be permitted anything.

Vladimir Bartol, from Alamut, 1938

Time for Throwback Thursday! Let's dial back to anyone when iPads where brand new and I still drew on paper! Back in 2011 I was obsessed with Assassin Creed...the mighty originals with Ezio (yes yes I know, but we all agree AC1 was more like a warm-up).

Having Italian heritage myself, there was just something mesmerising about crawling and leaping over Italian architecture that seemed to connect with me.

It Took me a while to click with the Assassin's Creed, "Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted," or as it's written in Vladimir Bartols 1938 novel 'Alamut;' "Nothing is absolute reality; all is permitted," as it seemed like utter nonsense. I was still very Black is black and white is white back then. But it's a twist, being an absolute statement itself, that deconstructs the idea of objectivity. To break it down we might say, 'everything is in a context, and so, anything is possible, given the right situation.'

Life, more often than not, is 'grey,' in-the-middle...messy.

The Summer Readathon is over

Which means the world gets an update on what I’ve been up to.

So, I had a list of 10 books, and a second list of 8 books as well as the promise that I would not read fanfiction this month. And guess what ? I read the two lists, I even had to make a small third one, and I still managed to read fanfiction. I’m scared to think about how much I could read if I really gave up on fanfiction. That’s too much power for one person to hold.

Here’s the list of what I read (complete with little comments because it’s fun):

Orfeia by Joanne M. Harris (3/5, but not sure I really understood what the story was trying to tell me outside of the dealing with grief part-)

Kitchen/Moonlight Shadow by Yoshimoto Banana (3,5/5, I liked Kitchen better but both stories are very emotionally and softly telling you that it’s possible to grieve in a healthy way)

Chalice by Robin McKinley (3/5, very interesting concept though I found the writing a bit heavy from time to time)

Uprooted by Naomi Novik (4/5, listen to your friends like I did and read it, it’s cool)

Shifting by Bethany Wiggins (2/5, a slow and predictable plot that suddenly rushes at the end makes ‘trust issues’ and ‘must not date outside my social class’ meet and fall in love)

Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston (3/5, enlightening but be ready to read the accents)

The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman (4/5, blood! death! monsters! weird magic stuff!)

The Dragon of Ynys by Minerva Cerridwen (4/5, appropriate for young readers, cute message, several LGBT+ characters, and the bromance between Snap and Sir Violet is the best)

Alamut by Vladimir Bartol (3/5, definitely interesting and manages to pass off the historical inaccuracies as detail because of the focus on beliefs, bonus points for the ‘how to recruit people in your sect’ tutorial)

Final Girls by Riley Sager (1/5, hated it, might make a ‘potentially bad books’ review later)

Weightless by Kandi Steiner (2/5, you see the YA books where it becomes less about the heroine and more about the mysterious love interest? yes.)

Murder in the Dark by Margaret Atwood (2/5, turns out that I’m not that interested in what the author thinks)

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen (3/5, sadly nothing surprised me, not even a little, but it wasn’t a bad read)

Fence (#1 & #2) by C. S. Pacat (3/5, these two issues make a total of like 60 pages so it’s still the beginning but it seems fun, and also, Bobby.)

Lies Like Poison by Chelsea Pitcher (2/5, so many LGBT+ clichés in a small town...)

Cursed by Jennifer L. Armentrout (1/5, not bad ideas but the plot is so stupid, maybe good for a ‘potentially bad books’ review)

The Children of Húrin by J. R. R. Tolkien (3/5 interestingly enough, I think I liked the Silmarillion version better)

A Golden Fury by Samantha Cohoe (3/5, cool despite the predictability and the fact that the author has definitely never set a foot in Normandy)

Till We Have Faces by C. S. Lewis (3/5, very focused on the influences of gods on humans and quite a few clichés but not unpleasant to read at all)

By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept by Paulo Coelho (2/5, for me too much religion kills the religion, but for the main character, too much religion leads to romance so to each their own I guess)

Snow & Rose by Emily Winfield Martin (3/5, cute tale, definitely appropriate for young readers)

Total number of read books : 22! My tbr is now under 200 books, I count that as a victory.

Git buradan evlat! Oku, dünyayı tanı. Hiçbir şeyden korkma. Her türlü önyargıdan uzak dur. Hiçbir şeyi aşırı yüceltme gözünde. Hor da görme. Her şeyi araştır.  Cesur ol. Artık öğrenecek bir şey kalmadığına kanaat getirince buraya geri dön. Ben burada olmayabilirim. Ama halkım burada olacak. Seni bağırlarına basacaklarını biliyorum. İşte bu mertebeye ulaştığında Araf’ın da zirvesine çıkmış olacaksın.
