«Ho imparato che per stare bene non sono necessarie cose materiali, anzi. [...] La montagna mi ha insegnato che nessun oggetto può darti la felicità, né un auto superveloce, né i vestiti di marca, è la vita che scegli a fare la differenza».
da "La Sentinella delle Dolomiti" di Carlo Budel
P. S. Per Carlo é la "Montagna", per me é la "corsa".
He would 🤣 you're telling me he survived in the streets or wherever he was before the story started and didnt became a cunning mofo? Lies.
Judal gets his ass humbled real quick thanks to hakueis cooking
He spent 10 years in the slums and then another 4 back on the streets again after he leaves Balbadd at age 13 we even see him being a cunning lying bitch at the start of the story, initially manipulating Aladdin for his own ends before they become friends. And there's a brief moment during Zagan's dungeon arc when he sees Hakuryuu and Aladdin getting conned by the local kids where he thinks something like "we used to do similar things in Balbadd" and then does nothing to help them
Alibaba's a menace with morally grey nuance who has no issue using underhanded methods, either to help his people or just to be a petty fucking bastard and that's why I think he'd get along with Koumei and Ja'far
A few of Far Cry 5’s characters’ former names (according to the files)
Did you know that some characters used to have different names? Here’s what I found:
Adelaide Drubman - Penny Johnson (I’m not sure; it’s unclear)
Casey Fixman - Casey Seagal or Casey Storm
Chad Wolanski - Chad Gardetto
Faith Seed - Selena Seed
George Wilson - George Beel
Guy Marvel - Guy Martel (headcanon: it’s still his name but he thought Marvel was a cooler name for a movie director)
Hurk Drubman Senior - Wayne Senior
Joseph Seed - Daniel Seed
Merle Briggs - Merle Clinton
Wilhelmina Mable - Wilhelmina Maybelline
Tammy Barnes - Tammy Palmer (was she supposed to be Eli’s wife? Maybe!)
Tracey Lader - Traci West
Virgil Minkler - Virgil Knutsen
Wendell Redler - Wendell Darrah
Xander Flynn - Bob Johnson (again, like for Adelaide, not sure)
Also, I’ve said this before but Deputy Pratt’s first name is actually Stacy and not Staci. In the files, it’s only not spelled Stacy once, in the end credits... which is also, unfortunately, the only time players had a chance to see it written.
According to the files, Larry Parker’s first name is Laurence, the man we meet near Arcade machines is Morris Aubrey, and the fisherman is Coyote Nelson… but his description in the unreleased in-game encyclopedia also implies he died, so that might be inaccurate.

Ah, yes. We're starting the second arc. The very notably more Aladdin-centric one. It's actually quite interesting, the Dungeon Arc establishes both him and Alibaba, and also a bit Morgiana, and after that all three of them get an arc that focuses on one of them and their issues a bit more. But before that starts for real, there's this chapter.
Timeline in Magi is a hot mess, but here we have that Alibaba was there for nearly a month (adding these three days + three nights that were mentioned earlier).
Actually, why did Alibaba pay him that much.
ELIZABETH!!!
Alibaba buys none of your bullshit, Budel.
He misses Aladdin so much : (
God, he really misses him.
F for Morgiana. It must've been kinda sad to see Alibaba's joyous expression turn so depressed upon seeing her.
But also, now that I think about it, good for you, girl. She had the confidence to talk to him.
THIS.
Ok, so, you guys remember how Mogiana views Alibaba as the one who saved her? You know, this dramatic art of him extending his hand, and Morgiana's chains breaking? Yeah. It seems pretty weird, since Aladdin was there, too, and, frankly, seemed to do more for her than Alibaba... Except that's not true. Because after the Dungeon was cleared, Alibaba still stayed for nearly a month in Qishan, fixing Jamil's shit. He freed the slaves, and most likely hired them or at least helped them get hired. He did So. Much. For them. Even though he really, really didn't have to. Like I've said it before, he was absolutely telling Morgiana to stop following Jamil in the Dungeon because she was a huge threat, but that's not the same as not meaning what he's said. And after the Dungeon is cleared, he proves that he wasn't talking out of his ass. So I do think that all these things combined contributed to Morgiana's view of him.
Other than that, "It's the first time I've felt like there's a reason for me to be alive." Good for you, girl. Hopefully not much bad shit happens to you later on (it will).
Good for her, and also sweet of Alibaba to tell her to make sure she finds a good person.
(And she finds a good one later on;;)
Pfff. Alibaba, I love you, but please don't try to flirt. You suck at flirting. Especially if you try to copy somebody else's methods. It never ends well, just look at Sharrkan. I assure you, people will fall for your genuine self.
Mor, careful, you'll start a tornado.
: (
He's gone, and she's still running : (
I told you nobody's ever told him stuff like that. (Oh, and that pic with Morgiana I was talking about earlier).
Een nieuw schoolgebouw voor basisschool De And’re Wijze tussen Budel-Schoot en Budel-Dorplein was de wens van beide dorpen, maar blijkt toch niet haalbaar. Dat is de conclusie nadat de gemeente Cranendonck de mogelijkheden op deze plek samen met de provincie Noord-Brabant heeft onderzocht. Het college van B&W stelt daarom voor om een plek te zoeken in de kern van Budel-Schoot voor het nieuwe schoolgebouw. In september 2024 vergadert de raad over dit voorstel.
De gemeenteraad heeft in april 2023 een plan vastgesteld waarin staat dat er één nieuw schoolgebouw moet komen voor de basisscholen Wereldwijzer en Sint-Andreas (nu samen basisschool De And’re Wijze). En dat het gebouw het liefst tussen of in de buurt van Budel-Schoot én Budel-Dorplein komt. Een werkgroep bestaande uit de gemeente Cranendonck, buurtplatform Dorplein Uniek, dorpsplatform Sterk Schoot en Atalenta (de organisatie waar de basisschool onderdeel van is) heeft afgelopen periode gekeken naar een nieuwe schoollocatie.
Provincie wil geen basisschool buiten een dorp
Het gebied waar de nieuwe school zou moeten komen, ligt tussen de twee dorpen. De provincie Noord-Brabant gaat over dit gebied. Daarom is de gemeente met de provincie in overleg gegaan over de mogelijkheden. Het standpunt van de provincie is duidelijk: een school in een gebied buiten de dorpen vinden ze niet passen. Het sluit niet aan bij het beleid van de provincie en de gemeente. En om het buitengebied te beschermen heeft de provincie liever dat er in dorpen wordt gebouwd dan buiten dorpen.
Twee mogelijke locaties in Budel-Schoot
De werkgroep heeft vervolgens andere oplossingen voor de school bekeken. Zij heeft aangegeven dan het liefst een nieuwe school te bouwen op het terrein van Jong Nederland Budel-Schoot. Voor het college van B&W is nieuwbouw op de bestaande locatie van De And’re Wijze ook een mogelijkheid. Daarom is het voorstel aan de gemeenteraad om nu eerst te kiezen voor de kern Budel-Schoot.
Locaties verder onderzoeken
Om een definitieve keuze te kunnen maken voor de schoollocatie in Budel-Schoot gaat voor beide locaties verder onderzocht worden hoe haalbaar een school is. Bovendien heeft de gemeenteraad kort geleden besloten om samen met inwoners van Budel-Schoot een brede gemeenschapsvisie op te stellen. Hiervoor zijn De Reinder, het terrein van Jong Nederland en de kerk in beeld voor woningbouw en een nieuw gemeenschapshuis in Budel-Schoot. De gemeente gaat samen met dorpsplatform Sterk Schoot en andere betrokken partijen bekijken hoe haalbaar alle plannen en locaties zijn.
School met buitenschoolse en kinderopvang
Het college van B&W heeft vorige week al wel een voorbereidingskrediet van €260.000 beschikbaar gesteld voor de bouw van een nieuw schoolgebouw voor basisschool De And’re Wijze. Met dit geld kan Atalenta komende tijd aan de slag met het maken van een ontwerp voor een nieuw schoolgebouw.

[Magi reread; special edition] Episode 1: Aladdin and Alibaba [Part 3]
Sorry it took me literally two days to finish a single episode, but I was having a very not good health day. And night. Bro, I haven't been this sick in... I don't even remember. 0/10 would not recommend. But anyway.
Ok, but the music in Magi is so fucking good, man.
Ok, they look awesome here. I wish we got more Magi roadtrip, and less becoming more powerful god than the other guy, and then him becoming more powerful god than you, and then you becoming more powerful god than him, and then him-
The whole moment when the desert hyacinth appears actually looks pretty damn cool. Makes me wish a bit we saw more weird fauna-flora-things from the magi universe. ("Is the Final Arc a joke to you?" Yes.)
Did Budel just tell to all these slaves that he'll pay them if they help save the wine?
Also, I think Notre Empire's playing again.
F (she tripped)
Nice catch, Morgiana.
But also. Morgiana. Morgiana. You're a Fanalis. You can literally just. Jump away.
Morgiana. Morgiana. WHAT ARE YOU DOING. JUST JUMP AWAY.
Huh... They didn't say anything about it in the weather forecast...
Also, in the manga Alibaba actually warns everybody what this plant is, at least not yet. It's... honestly, neither bad nor good choice. On the flipside, it certainly adds to how dramatic the entire situation is, and overall shows well how fast everything is happening, too. On the other side, the manga showed better both that Alibaba's pretty knowledgeable, and also that he, honestly, thinks and reacts quickly. But oh well. Both achieve different things.
RIP. But also, man, Morgiana looks pretty here.
MORGIANA, FOR FUCK'S SAKE, JUST TURN AROUND AND JUMP OUT, YOU *CAN* DO THIS.
F
Actually, where tf is Aladdin.
Ok, but also, that's kind of what I was talking about. Like, if you get the impression that I'm overfocusing on Alibaba, which, frankly, I know I tend to do, and also will absolutely keep on doing, then in this specific case it's not simply my horn-shaped lenses. This entire episode is very Alibaba-centric. It's not even subtle, especially since, you know, this is based on his introduction chapter. Aladdin's side is only sprinkled here, and Morgiana's just randomly added to have all three of them present. But this is still centred around "His name is Alibaba", so it's hardly a wonder why he gets so much spotlight. But that does end up giving you the impression that he is the protagonist, even though the title actually belongs to Aladdin. And, frankly, the upcoming Balbadd Arc will certainly not clear that confusion.
Shame I'm not doing gifs, cuz it was such a funny CHOMP moment.
RIP Morgiana and Mina.
Traumatized.
Am I, like, the only person who finds this so hilarious. What's up with the dramatic pose. I wish I could find what it reminds me of, but, sadly, I have no name for it XD
It all ends up being kind of weird when you remember that in the anime they were made slaves. Like, cool of the guy to still value her life, but still very unexpected.
Oh, ok, now it makes sense. Budel's like, don't let her die, cuz I'll have to pay more for it.
It actually makes me wonder if Morgiana could handle a desert hyacinth. Anime tells me she can't, but I don't trust the anime.
Oh, that! That's what I was talking about. Alibaba gets flashbacks here, right before he jumps in to help Morgiana and Mina, which kind of ends up making it look like he's doing it more out of guilt than just... out of wanting to save them, you know?
Oh, THERE you are! Also, this episode does quite some disservice to Aladdin as a character, too, now that I think about it. As in, beyond shifting the focus from him to Alibaba. Like, in the manga he IS trying to help, but there's sand in the flute, and it doesn't work, but here he's just... watching. I actually recall reading some comparison between anime and manga regarding that, but it was looong ago. But in very short, manga!Aladdin was more like the New Testament God, while anime!Aladdin was more like the Old Testament God, as in, in the manga he actively seeks others, while in the anime he's more about wanting others to prove themselves to him. Or something like that. But, yeah, you can get that impression.
But other than that, he just comes off as kind of and ass here? Like, bro, you COULD help. But he's actively choosing not to. Which is in a pretty big contrast with manga Aladdin, who, while still rather passive, is far more willing to get himself involved with others and their troubles. In the anime... he's so insensitive. That's the word I was looking for. Anime Aladdin comes off as far more insensitive than manga Aladdin.
And I'm, once again, connecting it with that focus shifted from Aladdin to Alibaba, because it does feel like it connects itself, no? If Aladdin were to act here, this would've made him an active pariticpant in the events, instead of taking on a more supportive role the anime writers put him into. It would've moved the spotlight back to him.
Anyway. Again. Budel is willing to pay a slave. BUDEL.
Well-earned. Very satisfying. Fuck you, Budel.
Live Aladdin reaction.
Also, again, sounds like Alibaba's more doing it out of guilt, he doesn't want to sit back and regret everything or sth (that's what he's thinking as he's jumping into the hole), while in the manga it was more "somebody has to do this, and since nobody's willing to act, **I** will", and as he jumps he's reassuring the kid, and also more focused on assessing the situation, rather than thinking about how he feels.
Anyway, but I will point out that he jumped to save two slaves here, which at least shows that he doesn't agree with slavery.
Man, wouldn't it be cool if somebody could open it. Somebody with red hair and crazy ass strength. Man.
Like, you won't convince me that Morgiana couldn't move even with all these tentacles holding her back. You just can't.
Thank you for finally doing something, Aladdin! You could've done this the whole time, but nooo.
Ok, but it's pretty af.
-insert Attack on Titan joke here-
Thank you for help, Ugo! But also holy shit, that looks so WEIRD.
RIP loose hair Aladdin, you're dearly missed.
RIP Alibaba
Man, stop being so dramatic about dying.
See? Your soon-to-be bestie's here to save your ass.
Watching Budel's despair is very entertaining.
Sorry not sorry I skipped some Jamil to fit in more Aladdin and Alibaba.
"Will you be my friend?" (A) ;_; And also, that's when we find out that this is what Aladdin asked Ugo for. 10/10 choice. You get a point, anime adaptation.
FRIEMDS ;_____;
Ok, but the sheer hilarity of Budel yelling at them, and Aladdin just turning around like "Let's go Ugo-kun" (flies away).
Hahaha
Ok, now that I see it, it looks like a bit of a parallel to Alibaba and Aladdin sitting in the caravan earlier. Back then they both looked serious/kind of down, but now they're looking forward to the adventure (F).
Honestly, hearing Yubi Bōenkyō play in the bg reminds me, like everything about this arc, how different Magi seemed at the beginning. Man.
