During the chaos that erupted after both Assassins and Templars attacked the Instruments of the First Will's base to stop them from transferring Juno into a newly created body using both the Shroud of Eden and the Sage Elijah's DNA, nobody noticed Elijah taking over the terminal and changing just enough of the codes to redirect what will be transferred into the new body.
As bitter eternal enemies were forced to ally themselves with one another just to have a chance to take down the people worshipping Juno, the transfer began. Even though they were starting to get an upper hand, they still failed to stop the transfer.
All went silent as the liquid inside the container was drained. One of the Assassins tried to make a run towards it as it stepped out but was quickly pinned down.
All members of the Instruments of the First Will stared in awe and many fell to their knees.
Dread began to swirl around the Templars and Assassins as they realize just how much more destructive Juno will now become now that she-
"Uuhhh... Where am I?" The body spoke in a confused tone and everyone grew silent once more. The body stared at everyone for a moment before blinking as its hands went up to its chest. Its eyes widened as it asked in a high pitched absolutely 'what the fuck' tone, "Are... Am I... Are these boobs???"
All the monitors in the room lit up and showed Juno's angry face as she screamed, "Dessssmmoonnddd!!!"
(that's as far as I got.)

bruh what. lilith ac au??
yes so one of the neat things about assassin’s creed is that the lore contains certain magical objects called Pieces of Eden - profoundly ancient tech designed by ‘the ones who came before’, objects of immense power. SO powerful, in fact, that they were instrumental in the formation of the Catholic Church.
it’s hilarious, actually; one piece of Eden was kept underneath the Vatican, locked away where it could not tempt various religious leaders to wield it as a means of literal mind-control. sounds familiar...
the Pieces of Eden are the basis of an ancient war between two groups - the Templars, who want to secure these objects to bring order (derogatory) and civilization (aka control) to the world; and the Order of Assassins (aka the Assassin Brotherhood... or, i suppose Sisterhood), who believe that mankind should be free, and that the pieces of Eden are too powerful to rest in the hands of any human being.
the Templars, as the current state of the world abundantly suggests, are winning.
the pieces of eden also look like this
Tumblr media
looks a lot like a little ring of metal we know and loathe?
picture this. the halo is a Piece of Eden. now, there are many different pieces of Eden (most notably there is an Apple, a Staff, a Spear, and a Sword) are one thing: POWERFUL.
they also have different kinds of powers (though, in general, every piece of Eden will follow the halo-like habit of making its bearer extremely powerful and VERY difficult to kill.)
assassin’s creed basically operates on the premise that there is a machine, called an Animus, which allows individuals to relive the genetic memories of their ancestors.
but what if the halo, specifically, allowed the its bearer to relive ANY period of history? and, as with the canon halo, extend that power somewhat to nearby people, allowing them to carry others there with them, folding an entire team seamlessly into other bodies and other lives, making the ‘treasure hunt through time’ that typifies each entry in the assassin’s creed series infinitely more efficient.
picture Lilith, in line to recieve the halo. destined for it, trained for it, genetically predisposed to it. Lilith and Beatrice following a tip-off they received from their inside agent, Dr Jillian Salvius, suggesting that the Templars have moved the halo to their base of operations in Rome.
breaking in, silent and deadly with all the ruthless grace of the Sisterhood of Assassins. quick blades darting in dark corridors, guards dropping before them, moving as one body through the corridors of Abstergo - the mega-corporation serving as the modern cover for the Templars. each door giving way before them at the distant, phantom touch of Camila.
Lilith, raised with the ridiculous skill-set of an Assassin - able to climb anything, kill anyone. an expert in swords and daggers and the archetypal Assassin weapon - the hidden blade. Lilith who has, with the aid of the Animus, relived the lives of her ancestors, dozens and dozens of Assassins - women scattered across time and the world, beautiful and terrible and steeped in blood.
Beatrice trailing second in line to her, eternally limned in her shadow, a quickstep to Lilith’s unmatched aggression. catching bodies as they fall and guarding Lilith’s back, anywhere her gaze is too direct to reach. the pair of them of course of course tangled in more ways that violence. blood on their hands and hands on each other.
Mary, who is AWOL after the Templars captured Shannon, dragging her to their base in London. Mary who, even as the opening scene unfolds, is driving cross country following the cold trail of the halo, and Shannon, towards Rome.
Ava, an orphan, plucked out of her near-death by Abstergo agents in need of a body to use without oversight. her death certificate filed away, an empty coffin put in the ground and Ava shipped from Spain to Rome. Ava whose ancestors are more auspicious than anyone had guessed, a mess of mixed Assassin and Templar lineage, of doomed love stories and crossed stars. Ava, given over to the halo, which has a tendency to burn right through people, sapping them of strength and will and sanity.
Ava who is called Subject 17, folded into the Animus with a magic circle in her back, tingling in her long-silent nerves and the tips of her fingers, not expected to survive long enough for the halo to heal her. Ava who hears whispers, as she is plunged into lives and deaths and disparate times again and again and again, waterboarded through history in a futile attempt to locate more pieces of Eden by throwing darts at a board the size of history. Ava, almost torn apart by the chaos of it, dying in every way a person can die, plunged from body to body, tragedy to tragedy. Ava with her mind held together by a presence. a ghost in the machine called Subject 16 - the previous sacrifice to the halo.
whispers in her head and they have a name. Shannon.
Beatrice and Lilith cutting through the building expecting to find an ancient treasure and unearthing, instead, a girl.

Okay so my last post blew up so here’s more obscure random Resident Evil facts for y’all!
Part one: here
Part three: here
☠️The white dog you save in Resident Evil 4 is a reference to Hewie the dog in Capcom’s other game Haunting Ground which was released at around the same time the original Resident Evil 4 was. The main character Fiona also shares resemblance to Ashley.
☠️ Chris and Claire’s parents both died in a tragic car crash said to be so bad they could only be identified by their dental records
☠️ Jill’s infection (and later cure) of the T-Virus significantly slowed down her ageing
☠️ Chris is the only main character without a clear romantic interest (Leon with Ada, Claire with Leon and Jill with Carlos)
(Edit: A few people have said Claire and Steve but Steve was only 17 at the time of his death so no I don’t care how much chemistry they might’ve had, he was a minor and Claire was 19)
☠️ In the original RE2 Jill had a picture of a man on her desk, in the remake it is changed to a dog instead.
☠️ Barry Burton is one of the only characters in the series to actually retire, moving up to Canada with his family. He and Claire still stay in contact.
☠️ Leon’s signature handgun is actually a modified Samurai Edge he named ‘Silver Ghost’ made by Joseph Kendo the brother of Robert Kendo you meet in RE2 and RE3. Originally the gun was created for Barry Burton but given to Leon instead.
☠️ One of Joseph Kendo’s books on firearms can be found in Ethan’s house at the beginning of Village.
☠️ Capcom’s other zombie series Dead Rising actually has a few references to Resident Evil in them though my favourite is a restaurant called Jill’s Sandwiches
☠️ Luis Sera was apart of Umbrella’s sixth laboratory in Europe which oversaw the creation of Nemesis.
☠️ A detail not many know about Hunk is that he possesses two hidden blades mounted to his wrists almost exactly like the ones seen in Assassins Creed
☠️ Jessica and Raymond are two villains from Revelations that are not only still alive but in possession of a T-Abyss sample and haven’t been seen in the timeline since 2005 what happened to them and the sample is a complete mystery.
☠️ Another storyline that hasn’t been explained yet is Natalia from Revelations 2 and if she may or may not be possessed by the consciousness of Alex Wesker
☠️ It’s implied in the Shadow of Rose DLC that Mia Winters lost custody of Rose sometime in her teenage years
☠️ Chris can canonically pull off front flips whereas Leon can backflip
☠️ Lobo, Tundra and Night Howl of the Hound Wolf Squad actually have little smiley face stickers on the back of their helmets whereas Canine and Umber Eyes do not.
☠️ In every main series game he’s been in (RE2,RE4,RE6) Leon has had to crawl through a sewer
☠️ All of the cgi movies as well as Infinite Darkness are considered completely canon to the story.
☠️ Upon the release of Operation Raccoon City, players could participate in an online ARG which gave away exclusive files on the characters including a psychological evaluation of Hunk which is the most information we’ve ever gotten on his character. The link to it can be found: Here
☠️ Wesker’s British accent was the result of each of his voice actors attempting to mimic the last. This was corrected in the remake of Resident Evil 4 (sadly)
☠️ You can interact with the play park in RE6 with Chris, Piers and Ada and each of them go down the slide differently
☠️ The HWS member that tackles Ethan at the reservoir is Canine and the one standing next to Chris is Night Howl.
☠️ Night Howl is also the author of the laptop reports you find in the Church and the secret underground area where the Mutamycete is in the village.
☠️ Canine is the youngest member of the HWS and the oldest is Umber Eyes
☠️ Lobo from the HWS shares striking similarities to Hunk (Read my full theory on it Here)
☠️ The Duke from Village and The Merchant from RE4 actually know each other and The Duke describes them as ‘old friends’
☠️ Sergei Vladimir, leader of the UCBS is the tallest human character in the franchise standing at 6’7.5”
☠️ Thanks to the Resident Evil 4 remake, Leon can now both speak and read Spanish
☠️ In the Heavenly Island comic, the man Chris sends to assist Claire is Parker Luciani from Revelations
☠️ In RE8 the Village is heavily isolated from the outside world thanks to Miranda and thus has remained primitive but Heisenberg had his own arrangements with the Duke for regular newspapers and cigars from the outside.
☠️ Wesker actually met Claire once while he was still leading STARS. He described her as a ‘lovely girl.’
☠️ That being said Claire swears more than any other main character (Chris, Leon, Jill)
☠️ Chris and Claire have matching leather jackets that both say ‘Made In Heaven’ on the back which is a reference to Queen (the band)
☠️ Although it doesn’t appear in the remake, Barry’s ‘Jill sandwich’ line is considered canon and referenced by his daughter Moira in Revelations 2
☠️ Revelations for the 3DS was so infamous for having its text misspelled on the side of the case Capcom had to issue replacement sleeves for all the buyers who had one.
☠️ Heisenberg calling Chris a ‘Boulder punching asshole’ means his feats in RE5 either made the newspaper or someone told him about it personally (one of the hounds maybe?)
☠️ Expanding upon an earlier fact of mine, Chris knows 7 fighting styles which are: Airforce Combatives, Karate, Boxing, Judo, Wrestling, Capoeira and Kali
☠️ Jill also knows 7 fighting styles which are: Modern Army Combatives, Taekwondo, Ju-Jitsu, Gymnastics, Tricking, Lucha Libre and Kali
☠️ Leon knows 6 fighting styles: Taekwondo, Ju-Jitsu, Wrestling, Kali, Krav Maga and Systema
☠️ The reason why there’s no children in the village in Resident Evil 4 is because Saddler’s blood ritual killed them all before the events of the game (that and the developers agreed child enemies would be far too disturbing)
☠️ The developer of the original RE4 suggests that the best snacks to have while playing the game is Diet Coke and lightly salted potato chips (eaten with chopsticks to avoid greasy controller hands)
☠️ Neither Hunk nor anyone in the USS wear Umbrella logo patches (as much as cosplayers tell you otherwise lol)
☠️ In the RE4 remake, Ashley refers to herself as a ‘master of unlocking’ which is a reference to Jill’s title given to her by Barry in the first game
☠️ Chris and Leon were designed to be complete opposites of each other and you can still see that today even with subtle details (Chris punches, Leon kicks. Chris smokes, Leon doesn’t. Leon is flirtatious, Chris is indifferent)
☠️ Wesker’s red eyes glow brighter any time he experiences strong emotions which is why they sometimes shine through his glasses
☠️ Chris’s zippo lighter was actually a gift from Claire given to him when he joined STARS
☠️ Chris can’t read piano sheet music but he can read guitar
☠️ Jill can play the piano
☠️ The story behind the basement music used in the directors cut of the original Resident Evil is so infamous and has a pretty wild story behind it. The music itself is horrendously bad and said to have been composed by a deaf composer but spoiler alert that composer wasn’t deaf at all and instead was fooling the world. The story is insane and I highly recommend checking out this video on it for the full story here
☠️ Beltway from the USS Wolfpack has a metal prosthetic leg
☠️ Beltway also swears more than any other character in Operation Raccoon City
☠️ The original RE4 has more releases than any other Resident Evil game because of its success
☠️ The original RE4 was also planned to be a lot more survival horror based like it’s predecessors but the remake of the original RE didn’t sell as well as intended so the game was reworked to be more action based instead.
☠️ Crimson head zombies were also completely unique to the remake of Resident Evil and also make an appearance in Operation Raccoon City
☠️ Leon’s relationship with Helena is unique in the fact that neither of them are interested in each other and Leon instead views her as a protege because she reminds him of his younger self.
☠️ You cannot shoot the merchant in the RE4 Remake
☠️ During his time working at the Spencer Mansion, Wesker used to take long hikes around the Arklay Mountains
☠️ Mr X isn’t the only Tyrant of his type in fact multiple of him were released around Raccoon City and it’s also implied two separate Mr X’s are encountered during the story of the RE2 remake
☠️ Out of everything, crows are the most effective carriers and spreaders of the T-Virus
☠️ Hunk’s name is actually an acronym that stands for Human Unit Never Killed
☠️ Leon S Kennedy is the only playable character with a middle name, that being Scott (in fact he might be the only character in the franchise with one but don’t quote me on that)
☠️ Originally Leon’s hair was depicted as brown but was later changed to blond which it had stayed as until Vendetta made it brown again. His canon hair colour is usually agreed to be blond however.
☠️ Same goes for Chris’s eye colour which was originally blue (like Claire’s) until they changed it to brown and back to blue again in Village.
☠️ Birkin discovered the Golgotha Virus by accident while experimenting with Lisa Trevor. In the REmake you can see the G Virus tentacles on her back.
☠️ The brand of clothing and gear the Hound Wolf Squad use is a real brand you can buy exact replicas from for Airsoft called Volk Tactical Gear. There logo is printed on HWS weapons in game.
☠️ Ghosts were technically made canon in the Resident Evil universe thanks to 7 and 8 but seem to only relate to the Mold and Mutamycete (You see a ghost girl in 7’s demo/prequel and in 8 Shadow of Rose goes in depth with it)

well. i have some news. i am now even more of a slut for hongjoong than i was before. crazy right? like i was already the neediest, horniest little whore for this man. but something happened today that just made me even more down bad for him.
let me explain —
alright. so a little context/back story for this. i cannot remember when, and i’m not 100% sure of where hongjoong talked about this (my hunch says universe, back when ateez used that platform), but anyway, hongjoong mentioned what cologne he wears (or wore, I don’t think he’s mentioned it in a while so who knows if even he stills even uses it. i’m assuming he does tho) and revealed that it’s aventus by creed. here’s a pic of it:
Tumblr media
so ever since i learned about this, i wanted to get my hands on a bottle. but alas, a full bottle (pictured above) is about $500. i couldn’t justify spending that much on cologne of all things, so i never bought it. well, a couple weeks ago i was playing around on creed’s official website, and discovered creed sells sample bundles! the bundle included the brand’s best selling fragrances, aventus amongst them, and it was only $65. so i took the opportunity and bought it just for the one sample of aventus lmao. luckily, they threw in an extra sample of aventus as a free gift!!🤩
so it came in today! and i finally smelled hong’s cologne and…………oh my god ahshshhs. like holy fuck. it smells….it smells…..well it smells like hongjoong. it smells exactly like i figured he’d smell like. the cologne is fresh and light, but also has a woodsy undertone. it’s so….it’s so masculine, in the best way lmao. the website’s official description of the cologne is “strength, power, success, sensual, audacious, rich, and iconic”….like if that isn’t the perfect description of hongjoong 😫 it smells so fuckable hahshs. it smells luxurious. it’s honestly a scent that is arousing…but like…also comforting??? and I think that’s so hongjoong.
anyways. to put it plainly, i am now even more of slut for hongjoong than ever before all because i smelled a cologne he has used. am i delulu? yes. am i ashamed? nope! ahhshshs. delulu is the only solulu. 😆
if you want the link to the website, just ask me! also heads up, the sample bottles are very small unfortunately.

Neo-Cadian regiments now have an initiation protocol for new Guardsmen where, very reverently, an artillery shell casing full of true Cadian soil is brought out before the troops, and the recruit must eat a sample of it off of their bayonet. They go back to the rubble every year to top up the shells. The more you eat the better. One recruit used a trenching spade to eat half the shell and was believed to be the reincarnation of Creed.
Ok so, this is very funny and very creative and I love it, well done, but I initially misread it as "Neo-Canadians" and spent the first read-through of the ask wondering what in the fuck had happened to Canada that I'd missed.

erolfa is on the more expensive side, i had a sample and i really liked the vibrant citrus at the top. kind of like eating a fruit salad and getting a sudden splash of seawater in your face

I think I can finish this 10,000 word sample story for In Perpetuum before May so I can put it up pay-what-you-want somewhere and get back to Creed of Gethin with a sense of satisfaction and closure. The even better news is, the stuff I have for the rest of the story beyond that 10,000 words... I'm pretty sure the sample is gonna be rly strong but the actual book itself is going to be even better

15th January 1923 saw the birth of the wonderfully eccentric and very funny Ivor Cutler.
Born Isadore Cutler in Govan, Glasgow, into a middle-class Jewish family of Eastern European descent. His father Jack Moris Cutler was a wholesale jeweller and had premises at 85 Queen Street. He cited his childhood as the source of his artistic temperament, recalling a sense of displacement when his younger brother was born: "Without that I would not have been so screwed up as I am, and therefore not as creative." And creative he was!
Ivor was educated at the Shawlands Academy.[4] In 1939 Cutler was evacuated to Annan. He joined the Royal Air Force as a navigator in 1942 but was soon grounded for "dreaminess", apparently more interested in looking at the clouds from the cockpit window than locating a flight path, and worked as a storeman. After the war he studied at Glasgow School of Art and became a schoolteacher.
Working at a school in Paisley, however, did not agree with Cutler. He hated discipline that required the strap, having received it more than 200 times himself, and in a dramatic gesture took the instrument from his desk, cut it into pieces and dispensed them to the class.
Leaving Scotland was, he claimed, "the beginning of my life". He settled in London for a time teaching music, dance, drama and poetry to 7- to 11-year-olds. Oh how I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in on of his classrooms.
His dour recordings bely his existence growing up in Glasgow and seeing his peers arriving at school with bare feet - a fact which, he later claimed, helped form his leftwing political views, aged five - appeared in his hilarious writings, Life in a Scotch Sitting Room Volume 2. With lines such as "Voiding bowels in those days was unheard of. People just kept it in," he used a string of fantastical untruths to expose the reality of his life and the Spartan - and sometimes sadistic - Scottish existence.
He also taught for a time at A S Neil's Summerhill school. Dubbed a hippy academy where a different approach to education was fostered, Summerhill was run with rules agreed between staff and pupils, and the premise was to educate the whole person. This alternative philosophy appealed to Cutler. He lived in the grounds of the school. Ivor married for a time, but his parenting skills did not go down too well with his then wife, they had two sons, he sent one, on his first day at school wearing a kilt, I can see that going down well in England! His son remembers his father once taking him fake fishing,taking him out in the street, with a stick and bit of string and a fork tied on the end dangling in a puddle, being his fishing line, he also says "I couldn't say I was pleased when he felt the need to walk down the street with a carpet sample in place of a tie."
During the late 50's and into the 60's he mixed his teaching with that of entertainment, managing to secure a slot on Acker Bilk Show and Late Night Line-Up. On one such appearance he was spotted by Paul McCartney, who invited Cutler to appear in the Beatles' film Magical Mystery Tour where he played the bus conductor Buster Bloodvessel, and yes the lead singer of Bad Manners took his name from this and was also a fan of Cutler.
Through music, poetry and children’s books the songwriter, poet and “unjoiner” of thoughts perfected a brand of eccentric mischief that made him a favourite of many.
His absurdist songs – sung in dour Glaswegian tones with a wheezing harmonium for company – were an ever-present on John Peel’s radio shows, second only in rotation to The Fall. His darkly whimsical eye can be seen in contemporary British artists like David Shrigley and Martin Creed. And yet Cutler remains something of a marginal figure, known only to a devoted few.
For the latter part of his career, Cutler lived on his own in a flat on Parliament Hill Fields, north London, which he found by placing an ad in the New Statesman saying "Ivor Cutler seeks room near Heath. Cheap!". There he would receive visitors, and his companion Phyllis King, in a reception room filled with clutter, pictures and curios, including his harmonium, some ivory cutlery (a pun, of course) and a wax ear stapled to the wall with six-inch nails - proof of his dedication to the Noise Abatement Society, because of which he forbade his audience ever to whistle in appreciation at his work. The bicycle was his preferred mode of transport, its cow-horn handlebars in the sit-up-and-beg position in line with his Alexander technique practice.
He could quote from Homer, taught himself Chinese and was in the habit of frequenting Soho's Chinatown, where he could display his knowledge - although, typically, he chose Chinese above Japanese because the textbooks were cheaper. With the onset of old age he was increasingly worried about losing his memory, given that his father and brother had both developed Alzheimer's disease. It was a fear that was to be tragically fulfilled. He retired from the stage at the age of 82.
His main champion in the late 70's and 80's John Peel once remarked that Cutler was probably the only performer whose work had been featured on Radio 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Ivor Cutler died after a massive stroke on March 3rd 2006 aged 83.
I could no doubt find many stories about Ivor online but will give you some of his own whimsical word instead, first up is
I Ate a Lady’s Bun
I got taken to gaol.
I ate a lady’s bun.
On her head.
She got a fright.
It was a surprise.
Do not worry I said.
I am eating your bun.
I am hungry for a bun.
Police she cried a good
neighbour heard her
and phoned the
police.
You must not eat a lady’s bun even
if you are hungry.
And I am in jail.
And some of his advice......
5 Wise Saws
1. Do not kick a grocer
on the leg.
2. If you kick a grocer
on the leg, make sure
it’s not a green grocer.
3. If you throw a ball,
it moves in the air.
4. You can not erase a
love letter with a
nipple, no matter how
rubbery.
5. If you empty your bowels
at night, a shepherd
will have a red face
in the morning. -*

There’s several differences between my Jack and canon Miko that I feel like highlighting just so people don’t mistake them for ‘the same personality:’
They’re both reckless idiots, but while Miko puts herself and others in danger to get in on the action and try to prove herself, Jack does so because he feels personally responsible for the wellbeing of other people- especially those he cares about. It’s basically a situation of acting on an inferiority complex vs a hero complex.
Jack makes way more absurd and borderline idiotic decisions than Miko: jumping off of speeding motorcycles, licking spilled chemical samples off the floor to try and identify its properties without a scanner, trying to ingest laundry detergent to build immunity, digging through the trash for spare parts, throwing himself into danger multiple times just to try and do the jobs of the other Autobots- he puts himself in harm’s way a LOT.
You know that ‘exaggerated swagger of a black teen’ meme? Yeah- that’s season 1 Jack in a nutshell. Bro’s an unchecked theater kid on top of being a mad scientist- if Ratchet thought Miko was bad, this Jack would be enough to give him an aneurysm.
“Oh, you look like you’re having fun! What are you doing?” “eating laundry detergent” *panicking “NOW WHY IN THE NAME OF PRIMUS WOULD YOU EVEN-”
He’d definitely insult Miko’s hair, too. Like- he’d take one look at the pigtail and rat-tail combo coupled with the razor-cut scene bangs and instantly think: “That is the most ghetto sh█t I’ve ever seen in my entire life.” He’d be acting like he didn’t try to cut his hair with a cosplay sword on his own back when he was twelve.
Their definitions of punk are very different, too. Wild outfits, speed metal, loud music and American pop culture are primarily what Miko thinks of punk culture. Jack holds a philosophy similar to Hobie- that being punk is doing whatever you like to do and doing right by what you believe, even if it irritates other people. He takes the sentence ‘freedom is the right of all sentient beings’ and makes it a creed that he lives by.
He applies this trait to the other Autobots as well- he doesn’t ‘other’ them into separate categories and solely think of them as war machines. He recognizes their capabilities and their strength, sure- but he also recognizes how much pain they’ve been through, all the mistakes they’ve made, and still chooses to see them as people worthy of being loved. That’s one of the main reasons why the Autobots develop such strong emotional connections with him.
The death of Jack’s father absolutely destroyed him to the point where he doesn’t really value his life anymore. Like- at all. He’s so willing to throw away his own livelihood, compress himself into a box and try to cover every single one of his insecurities and shortcomings entirely on his own just so he can feel secure about the fact that people don’t have to worry about him anymore.
The worst part is- by the time Season 3 rolls around, Jack is so critical of his own flaws and mistakes that he genuinely believes that every bad thing that has ever happened to the Autobots is his fault and that it would be better if he never existed.
This one’s a no-brainer: Miko’s terrified of spiders- Jack thinks they’re cute.
If he was present during the ‘band practice’ scene, once Miko starts shredding on the guitar he’d start singing all of his favorite Celestial Odyssey OST’s to his little heart’s content. No doubt about it.

Have you ever played... Huniepop? An AC game in Huniepop style would be fun.
I saw a free uncensored version but I’m totally not sure if that website is legit because, from what I could see, Huniepop is not free in Stream so, like… I don't wanna risk it unless someone can verify that the free version is legit.
Although, I did check the wiki and it’s part dating sim, part three tiles match if I’m correct?
And all I can think about is…
“Hey, Ubisoft would probably make a low effort version of that. They’re already rumored to be making 11 Assassin’s Creed games anyway.”
It really says something about how I feel for Ubisoft as a company that a three tile dating sim game for Assassin’s Creed characters?
I would be ‘wtf’ but I won’t be surprised XD
Anyway, so let’s talk about how this might work. (Ubisoft, if you’re, on the off chance, actually reading this, go ahead, man, use this idea if you want, just, like, add Desmond AND Callum, you cowards)
First of all, it’s gotta be an Abstergo ploy.
They saw how much simping was happening for their History’s Hitmen sub-series of ‘Animus: History is Our Playground’ series and they’re so livid that their Fallen Heroes Series is just ‘meh’. Like, Haytham Kenway is the ones getting simped on the levels of the ‘protagonists’ of History’s Hitmen and there’s a lot of fans who is like “but what if he was an Assassin?” or “what if he reconciled with his son?” so Haytham Kenway is like the blacksheep of Abstergo Entertainment.
Out of… well, no one would call it desperation but Abstergo Entertainment’s profits had been ‘disappointing’ so they’re currently developing more than 10 Animus games!
During that development period, they decided to just put out a low effort three tile game with dating sim elements.
Why is it low effort?
Because it uses the actual data taken from the memories of the Animus and used that to ‘create’ the avatars. No testing if this wouldn’t bite them in the ass later or if the Animus can even do such a thing.
They got a lot of flack for it being online-only game but the dating sim elements certainly became the hook because it’s set for voice recognition and the avatars seemed to actually be understanding them.
It became a hit.
And, of course, History’s Hitmen gets a lot of ‘players’.
And that’s when a lot of players notice it.
Sometimes, an avatar who looks a lot like Altaïr and Ezio would greet them to tell them that Altaïr or Ezio or Ratonhnhaké:ton is busy at the moment.
Sometimes he appears in Edward and Haytham as well but he’s mostly seen in those three.
Mostly they assume he was meant to be a ‘message’ about how there’s a lot of server requests since he appears on the ones that have a lot of ‘players’.
Then posts start popping up on how you can actually talk and interact with that messenger. And he also has his own three tile game which he talks about, even giving suggestions or asking what this or that powerup do.
And the rumors start circulating.
He was meant to be the tutorial.
He was actually a secret avatar.
All the while, Abstergo Entertainment is quietly panicking.
Because that low effort three tile dating sim game?
It’s disappeared from their computers.
It’s in the servers but they can’t find it.
They can’t even shut it down.
And that day the ‘game’ disappeared in their computers…
All of Sample 17’s data also disappeared.
