What So funny?

Mátalo (Matalo! (Kill Him), 1970)

"Son, it's easier to love God than your neighbour because God never swindles you."

[teecupangel]

Desmond being bored and deciding to make a retelling of his ancestors for shaun or historians of the assassin's. Except he 'accidentally' makes it public and it goes viral, given that sometimes its Desmond and other times its his ancestors from the bleeding effect

The Assassins desperately needed a win.

After the Great Purge, the Assassins were left imprison in a sinking ship.

William Miles and Gavin Banks tried their best to protect and hide what was left but it was a losing battle.

It made people desperate.

Desperate enough to place their fate in Desmond Miles.

Desmond Miles, the runaway son of William Miles.

Desmond Miles, the descendant to Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad and Ezio Auditore.

The golden boy of the Assassins.

He didn’t really care much about him.

Rebecca Crane was his tech support so he never even met the great Desmond Miles.

He was stuck here, in the basement of a loud club in Berlin, doing his job as one of the contact persons of Erudito.

Most of the time, he just helped Erudito fuck Abstergo’s shit up.

Or try to anyway.

Abstergo does have one of the most impressive security system money can buy.

They were slowly chipping on it though.

Most of Erudito were still trying to throw rocks at the digital bullet proof system Abstergo has while he and the best of Erudito hack into another company who uses the same system to find its weaknesses that they can use against Abstergo.

They were so close to a break through.

And he may have drunk 6 or 7 energy drinks for the last 62 hours so he actually thought he was hallucinating for a moment when he clicked the link one of the Erudito hackers he was working with had spent with the message “dude, isn’t he one of yours? O.o”.

It was a youtube video.

Of Desmond Miles…

In that motherfucking (should certainly be) secret hideout in Italy.

With that motherfucking statue of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad behind him, completely clear on view.

“So you wanted to know what Ezio was doing while he was looking for Cesare Borgia, right, Shaun? You went out and I know I’ll be back in the Animus by the time you get here so I’m recording this so you can watch it while I’m stuck in the Animus.”

“So… Cesare left Roma after he failed to kill Ezio and got sent to Castel Sant’Angelo.”

He blinked.

Was…

Was Desmond Miles giving a history lesson???

Oh, fuck, he was.

And he just namedropped Machiavelli and Leonardo as Ezio’s companions who were also looking for where Cesare was transferred after he escaped and got captured again in Firenze.

And…

He had started to speak in Italian.

Not only that…

His entire demeanor, even the way he sat had changed.

He had only heard about it.

The Bleeding Effect.

Desmond Miles was bleeding as Ezio Auditore in a fucking video in the internet.

His second phone began to rang and he prayed to every holy and demonic being that it wasn’t William Miles.

No matter what William Miles say, he cannot just scrub that video from the internet.

It was obvious (6 millions views! What the fuck!!!) that someone out there had already downloaded this video and taking it down would just spark more controversy.

He looked at the number and knew exactly who was calling him.

He accepted the call and said immediately, “What the fuck, Crane. Why did Miles upload a video to fucking Youtube?!”

Rebecca groaned and he could hear Lucy Stillman and Shaun Hastings shouting in the background, most probably ripping Desmond Miles a new one.

“The phone he used to record it automatically uploads to Youtube.”

He blinked.

“That is bullshit.”

“It’s true! It’s one of Lucy’s burner phones and she didn’t even change the settings at all! It defaulted to that kind of setting!”

“No phone has an automatic upload to Youtube and you know it.”

“I know but this one does! It’s so weird! It’s like… something weird is going on here!”

“I’d believe it more if you said Miles wanted to publish it as unlisted but fucked up.”

Rebecca groaned once more.

A phone that automatically uploads to Youtube.

That was such bullshit.

.

.

(Rebecca is telling the truth. The phone is a weird one and Lucy can’t even remember where she got it. Almost like… it was always there. Dun dun dun)

[crispyjenkins]

the savage price of piety (wipwed 1)

desmond rivals obi-wan for blorbo status, so you can perhaps imagine how insane i feel about him. here's my silly little (very large) au where he's sort of an auditore except not really except he absolutely is except the borgia had him for a while except he's killed SO MANY people. y'all get no more context than that. (mostly gen but with a surprise rarepair, time travel/reincarnation, found/created family, william miles’ a+ parenting, accidental subterfuge, desmond goes by miles mostly, inspired by study of flight by @esamastation but with a twist!, only somewhat historically accurate swears and none of them come from des. he WILL use his future knowledge to mutter things that would absolutely get him burned at the stake)

  Was it the failure or the death that chased Cesare away and stopped him from doing more than removing the bodies? Was leaving it empty a reminder from Rodrigo of Cesare’s embarrassment?

  There are still bloodstains in the corridors, visible to the naked eye. Some valuables have been taken, but not all; he supposes looters still fear the rumours of haunting that Desmond put out while newly with the Borgia. Or maybe it was the fake satanic ritual he’d set up in the front hall, complete with animal sacrifices?

  He’s quite proud of that, actually, especially when he finds it barely disturbed just before the main staircase. He’d had to sneak away from his handlers to do it, very soon after he’d been dragged to Castel Sant’Angelo, and Cesare had threatened to take his hand off for it, but clearly Desmond’s work had been convincing enough to keep people from ransacking his... childhood home.

  To keep people from finding anything about the Assassins, or Desmond, that he hadn’t managed to destroy.

  Maybe he’s even morally obligated to burn the place down, if leaving it standing is such a potential risk, but two things stop him: 1) most of renaissance Rome is made of wood, and one of the few historical events unrelated to his ancestors that Desmond remembers is the Great Fire of London, and he can’t exactly guarantee that setting fire to the castello won’t set fire to the whole rione as well. And 2) despite hating every single person that resided there with him, this had still been Desmond’s home, in ways even the Farm hadn’t been. The latent grief of Ezio losing the Palazzo Auditore won’t let him be the hand that destroys the Castello Tarazed.

  Christ, he’d even left his room intact.

Inaugurato lo StartKube alla biblioteca Lame, con una nuova redazione di Radioimmaginaria, la radio che unisce i giovani nelle periferie delle grandi città italiane

Inaugurato lo StartKube alla biblioteca Lame, con una nuova redazione di Radioimmaginaria, la radio che unisce i giovani nelle periferie delle grandi città italiane. Creare punti di aggregazione e di crescita socioculturale per i giovani nei quartieri periferici nelle grandi città italiane: è questo il nuovo progetto delle ragazze e dei ragazzi ragazzi di Radioimmaginaria, la radio degli adolescenti nata nel 2012 a Castel Guelfo di Bologna per dare la possibilità ai giovanissimi di tutta Italia di far sentire la propria voce. Ha inaugurato sabato 10 giugno, alla biblioteca Lame - Cesare Malservisi (via Marco Polo, 21/13) di Bologna, una nuova redazione, dove ragazze e ragazzi potranno specializzarsi nella produzione di contenuti giornalistici, imparare un mestiere grazie a workshop, laboratori e incontri di formazione realizzati insieme a esperti nel settore. Erano presenti all'inaugurazione Daniele Ara, assessore alla Scuola, Elena Di Gioia, delegata alla Cultura di Bologna e Città metropolitana, Federica Mazzoni, presidente del Quartiere Navile e Veronica Ceruti, direttrice del settore Biblioteche e Welfare culturale. Questa nuova sede nel Quartiere Navile è stata realizzata grazie al Comune e al progetto Narrazioni multimediali che si inserisce nel Programma Operativo Nazionale Città Metropolitane 2014-2020 (PON METRO 14-20), finanziato dall’Unione Europea per sostenere percorsi innovativi e inclusivi legati al mondo della narrazione. “Il nostro obiettivo – spiegano gli speaker di Radioimmaginaria – è quello di aprire redazioni nei quartieri periferici di ogni città italiana. Lo scopo è quello di rendere alcuni di questi quartieri difficili, luoghi ricchi di iniziative, dove gli adolescenti possano essere i protagonisti e imparare a fare delle cose per migliorare il posto in cui vivono. Questo modello è già stato sperimentato positivamente con l’apertura delle altre due redazioni di Radioimmaginaria presso Casa Gialla nel quartiere Pilastro e presso la Biblioteca Borgo Panigale e l’idea è che possa essere replicato in tante città d’Italia”. La sede alla Biblioteca Lame è stata allestita all’interno dello StartKube, una piccola e innovativa redazione radiofonica dove i ragazzi potranno trovarsi ogni settimana per creare servizi e puntate. La StartKube è un arredo urbano di design dedicato interamente agli adolescenti e pensato per essere perfettamente integrato in ogni luogo, da una periferia di città a un piccolo borgo in collina. La struttura è stata realizzata da Carlo Pompini, designer of Iron, con il supporto e PmFactory. La nuova sede di Navile diventerà parte integrante del Centro di Produzione Idee di Radioimmaginaria a Bologna, un progetto pensato da Radioimmaginaria per trasformare Bologna in un polo creativo dedicato agli adolescenti. "Con l'inaugurazione di oggi anche il Quartiere Navile diventa parte del polo creativo dedicato agli e alle adolescenti a cui Radioimmaginaria lavora dal 2012 - commenta la presidente del Quartiere Federica Mazzoni -. Il progetto ha l’obiettivo di diventare un punto di riferimento per le ragazze e i ragazzi della nostra comunità che impareranno a creare contenuti giornalistici e a lavorare in una redazione radiofonica. Il valore di Radioimmaginaria risiede nella sua capacità di essere stimolo alla presa di coscienza e all'autoaffermazione degli adolescenti che diventeranno protagonisti attivi delle attività e iniziative che saranno realizzate, accrescendo la propria sensibilità civica e di impegno per il miglioramento della comunità in cui vivono. Come Presidente del Quartiere Navile ho voluto sostenere fortemente il progetto di questa radio degli adolescenti, mettendo a disposizione le nostre competenze e professionalità per supportare l’apertura della sede nel nostro territorio. Ai ragazzi e ragazze e a tutto lo staff di Radioimmaginaria mando i miei migliori auguri per questa nuova avventura".... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

Statesman - Chapter 6: A grand day out.

Been ages since I updated any of this, and I’ve agonised over the text too damn long, but here we are. More of Alt!verse Cesar, getting caught up in political turmoil and violence on the isolated Outpost of the Crag.

Title: A grand day out Setting: Fairco ‘verse Warnings: Violence, confinement, suicide mentions. Summary: The Warden has organised a walkaround to show off the Crag’s newest resident, but things do not go to anyone’s plan. The EXO is thoroughly demonstrated.  D_N befriends a gull. Characters: Cesar Castell, D_N, the Warden. Words: 5850

-

After the sealed sanctuary of the tower, the watery light that poured through the first cracks in the main door was half-blinding.  Cesar tilted his head forward to bring his visor into position, and the EXO’s skull sections adjusted smoothly with his movement.  He felt a flicker of pride at the unhindered motion of the metal – he hadn’t done old-school maintenance like this for years, and getting an EXO of this age to move like a younger rig was gratifying.

She still wasn’t his suit, but… well.  It was a fraction closer to something familiar.

A new more grinding noises rattled back into the tower’s interior as the interlocked metal slabs of blast plating finally disengaged, casting small eddies of dust out into the world beyond.  Goggle-helmeted guards trotted through the opened door and fanned out into escort positions, rifles swinging lazily at their sides.  After a moment there was a faint clang of the Warden tapping on Cesar’s arm.

“Shall we, Private Castell?  Best foot forward, and all that.”

There was a waxen eagerness in the man’s expression as he gestured out at the maze of tall wire fences that surrounded the tower.  Beyond that, the jagged angles of the Outpost were harsh against its grey sky.  The Warden turned back to Cesar, bending until he could see up under the EXO’s faceplate, and smiled broadly.

“Let’s show the masses just what you are.”

Smile.  Stand up straight.  Don’t complain.

He could do this.

With the dull sunlight glinting from his fresh paintwork, standing half again as tall as the loftiest of his escorts in the EXO’s shielding bulk, Cesar Castell stepped out onto the Crag.

“E Cesare Borgia, finora invincibile conquistatore di Stati e detronizzatore di signorotti italiani, Cesare Borgia, fino a pochi mesi fa vero assoluto padrone di Roma, fu visto, conducendo a mano due bambini -forse l’enfante Romano e Rodrigo, figliolo di Lucrezia- attraversare il portone della Mole Adriana e cercare asilo in quella che fu già sua roccoforte e che ora minaccia di diventare sua prigione.”

@borgialucrezia

Pay attention to his tone and the words: “detronizzatore di signorotti italiani.” bc that’s the root of the problem we were talking about yesterday, you know? That was Cesare’s biggest “sin” and it’s unfortunate that it doesn't get explored and elaborated as it should. Also despite Sacerdote’s slightly mean spirited way here, I actually find quite touching that Cesare had the children with him and was leading them by hand to Castel Sant’Angelo where they could be safe from the Orsini who were literally chasing them at this moment. It warms my heart having this mental picture. Again, it’s one of those little things that are so subtle, but that makes him human. (Not that we don’t already see him like that but you understand what I mean right?)

[orangebandaid]

I am really fucking angry right now...

If you didn't know this, this graffiti is in a wall from an archaeological site made in VI AC of an iber town by the tribe indigets in Palamós, Catalunya, Spain.

SOMEONE PAINTED IN A IBERIC SETTLEMENT,

A VI AC IBERIC SETTLEMENT,

AN IRON AGE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE.

THAT BITCH IS IN THEIR GOLDEN AGE DUDE.

THAT BITCH SAID "FUCK THE ROMANIZATION , I AM STILL HERE BITCH"

THAT BITCH SAID "BE FORGET? NAHHH I HAVE INFORMATION FOR DAYS"

THAT ROCKS SAID "I AM MORE STRAIGHT THAN YOU SIS AND I WILL BE HERE UNTIL THIS SHIT GO DOWN"

THAT CITY SAID "I WILL LEAVE TO YOU ONE OF THE MOST LONG AND COMPLEX TEXT IN IBER AND HOPE YOU BE ABLE TO READ IT, EVEN WITHOUT A FUCKING DICTIONARY BECAUSE GUESS WHAT, WE LOST A LOT OF LETTERS AND LITERATURE CONTENT BECAUSE WE USE TO WRITE IN IRON"

I AM...

I CANT

I--

AND YOU DID THIS ON JULY? ON THIS TIME? ON THIS YEAR? 2020?

NO, NO, NO, NO.

SHUT THE FUCK UP, GO PLAY YOUR BULLSHIT IN ANOTHER PLACE

THE DISRESPECT

"Gian Carlo Scalona, the Mantuan ambassador, was not so impressed with Sancia, after all the reports from Naples extolling her charms and her beauty. ‘Indeed, the Lady of Pesaro,’ as Lucrezia was known, ‘surpassed her by far.’ He commented, however, that the twenty-two-year-old bride had ‘glancing eyes, an aquiline nose and is very well made up.’ He did not make direct mention of Sancia’s reputation for extremely louche behaviour, though he did report to his master that the Romans had judged her ladies-in-waiting to be ‘a fine crop."

Sancia of Naples (1478-1506), also known as Sancha of Aragon, was the Princess of Squillace from 1494 until her death in 1506. She was the illegitimate daughter of King Ferrante I of Naples, and she was married to Pope Alexander VI's son Joffre Borgia as a part of a political alliance. However, it is rumored she had affairs with his brothers Juan and Cesare Borgia and even the Pope himself.

In 1494, she was married to Gioffre Borgia, youngest son of Pope Alexander VI. Upon her marriage, she and her husband were created Prince and Princess of Squillace, a province in the south of Italy. For the majority of their marriage, Sancha and her husband lived in the Vatican with the rest of his family. There Sancha became friends with her sister-in-law Lucrezia, and allegedly had affairs with both of her husband's older brothers: Juan Borgia, 2nd Duke of Gandia, also known as Giovanni Borgia, and Cesare Borgia. Her affair with Juan is sometimes said to be the reason for Cesare's alleged murder of Juan in 1497.

It is rumored  that Alfonso was brutally murdered in 1500 by Cesare, due to interests with France against Naples. Sancha, now a political embarrassment, was imprisoned in the Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome until the death of Pope Alexander in 1503. Upon his death, she managed to regain her freedom and returned to Naples with her young nephew, Rodrigo, whom she raised as her own. She never lived with her husband, Gioffre, again. Cesare visited her not long after and asked if she would take on the care of Giovanni "The Roman Infant", possibly Lucrezia's illegitimate child, but probably the illegitimate child of Pope Alexander VI, which she agreed to do. She died of an undisclosed illness in 1506, a year before Cesare's own death.

Caterina Sforza - The tigress of Forli 

Caterina Sforza (1463-1509) was the granddaughter of Bianca Maria Visconti. Like her, she was a great warrior and a powerful ruling lady. 

The illegitimate daughter of Galeazzo Sforza, duke of Milan, Caterina was raised in her father’s household alongside his legitimate children and benefited from an excellent education. The Sforza gave the same education to male and female children, including in physical domains. Caterina was thus taught to hunt, ride and use weapons.

At the age of 10, she was married to 29 years old Girolamo Riario, a nephew of Pope Sixtus IV. She afterward stayed in her father’s household until she turned 14 and then joined her husband. She was welcomed fondly by the inhabitants of her husband’s lands of Imola. Caterina also helped Girolamo in gathering men and arms and soon won her soldiers’ respect through her strict temperament.

On August 12, 1484, Pope Sixtus IV died, which meant that Girolamo lost an important protector and patron. Though she was seven months pregnant, Caterina rode to Rome. She managed to seize the Castel Sant'Angelo and announced that she would stay there until a new pope was elected. A contemporary observer gave the following description of her:

“Wise, brave, tall, fine-complected, well-made, speaking little, she wore a dress of satin a with train of two-arms' length, a black velvet hat in the French fashion, a man's belt and a purse full of gold ducats, a curved falchion at her side; and among the footsoldiers and the horsemen she was much feared because, when she had a weapon in her hand, she was fierce and cruel.”

Caterina didn’t surrender the place until she had been assured that her husband could retain his possessions of Imola and Forlì.

In 1487, the fortress of Ravaldino was captured by conspirators. The pregnant Caterina rode to the fortress and obtained its surrender. She then went back to Imola on horseback and gave birth to her seventh child.

In 1488, her husband was assassinated. Caterina was first taken prisoner, but managed to enter Ravaldino. Her children were brought in front of the fortress and the rebels threatened to kill them. According to the most well-known version of the story, Caterina stood on the ramparts and shouted: “Do it then, you fools! I am already pregnant with another child by Count Riario and I have the means to make more!”. She then walked back into the castle. Other versions simply state that Caterina didn’t come out, even as her children were threatened. 

She held to her position and had occasional blasts of artillery shot at the houses of her enemy. She held out till forces from Milan arrived. Caterina was safe and her children were saved. She brutally punished the conspirators to show that she was in control. Caterina refused to remarry and was officially named regent until her son came of age.

In late 1499, Caterina found herself targeted by the Pope Alexander VI, who declared that she was a usurper and sent his son, Cesare Borgia, to seize her lands. The cities of Imola and Forlì surrendered, but Caterina held on to Ravaldino. Clad in armor, Caterina announced to Cesare Borgia that she wasn’t going to surrender and was prepared to die fighting.

(Armor attributed to Caterina)

Caterina made a skillful defense, expertly positioning her artillery. News of her determination spread in Italy, however, her defense was breached. Caterina then went out at the head of her most loyal men. She fought in the front ranks, sword in hand. The Venetian mercenary Sanuto was amazed by her skills and wrote that she “wounded many men”. Caterina fought for two hours as her soldiers fell one after another. She wasn’t going to admit defeat, but was betrayed from inside the castle and captured.

Caterina endured 18 months of imprisonment before being released in 1501. Since she couldn’t reclaim her lands, she focused on protecting her children. Caterina also dedicated herself to her interests in botany, alchemy and beauty aids. She wrote a manuscript titled Experimenti on this topic. She died in 1509.

Sancha of Aragon (1478 in Gaeta – 1506 in Naples), or Sancia of Aragon, was an illegitimate daughter of King Alfonso II of Naples and his mistress Trogia Gazzela. In 1494, she was married to Gioffre Borgia, youngest son of Pope Alexander VI. Upon her marriage, she and her husband were created Prince and Princess of Squillace, a province in the south of Italy. For the majority of their marriage, Sancha and her husband lived in the Vatican with the rest of his family. There Sancha became friends with her sister-in-law Lucrezia, and allegedly had affairs with both of her husband's older brothers: Juan Borgia, 2nd Duke of Gandia, also known as Giovanni Borgia, and Cesare Borgia. Her affair with Juan is sometimes said to be the reason for Cesare's alleged murder of Juan in 1497.

Sancha's brother, Alfonso of Aragon, married Lucrezia Borgia. Sancha's life among the Borgias became a turbulent one after Cesare made an advantageous marriage with a French princess, Charlotte d'Albret, in order to secure French support for his military campaigns. This put Cesare's interests in direct conflict with those of the Italian states. Sancha's home city of Naples was no exception, and it had long been nervous about militant French interests.

It is rumored that Alfonso was brutally murdered in 1500 by Cesare, due to interests with France against Naples. Sancha, now a political embarrassment, was imprisoned in the Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome until the death of Pope Alexander in 1503. Upon his death, she managed to regain her freedom and returned to Naples with her young nephew, Rodrigo, whom she raised as her own. She never lived with her husband, Gioffre, again. Cesare visited her not long after and asked if she would take on the care of Giovanni "The Roman Infant", possibly Lucrezia's illegitimate child, but probably the illegitimate child of Pope Alexander VI, which she agreed to do. She died of an undisclosed illness in 1506, a year before Cesare's own death.
