i cant remember if you've talked about this before, buuuuut
who's your favorite assassin and why? :]
!!! Of this is a tough one!! (Actually not I’m sorry lol my fave is pretty obvious if you know me) I love the big three and desmond but there’s so much I could say about all of em
My absolute favorite is probably Connor/Ratonhnhaké:ton though!
More under the cut!
I think coming off the Ezio games, he had a lot of big shoes to fill, and lord does he fill
It’s nice having an assassin who’s more of an introvert and is kinda reserved and awkward in social situations, and I do relate to him more than the other assassins (not indigenous, but I am biracial and growing up I struggled over my identity and being ‘torn between worlds’ so to speak. I didn’t really feel accepted or even was part of one group or the other, so I kinda felt like I was in my own limbo, and seeing Connor kinda struggle with finding his place in a similar way and kinda ‘sticking out’ no matter where he went or who he associated with kinda hit home.)
Beyond that though, I absolutely love this message of ac3 that he embodies where sometimes, people can’t be fixed, and it isn’t your responsibility anymore at a certain point, and the guilt that comes with it fucking sucks. And that’s okay. There’s always gonna be a voice in your head going ‘what if I did this’ or ‘what if I did that’ to hold onto and try to fight for an ideal ‘could be’ scenario with people in your life. For Connor, it was Haytham, and we all know what happened. That’s another thing I could really relate to within my own life honestly. On my most recent replay of the game (which was a while ago) I actually broke down when I realized a huge part of the game was this message. That you couldn’t fix everyone, no matter how much you try. They have to want to change too, and if they don’t… it’s not your fault. But in the end, taking care of yourself and the people who do care about you and support you is more important. And seeing Connor learn and internalize this and have his support system in the homestead was super meaningful to me.
I also love his motivation and drive and general outlook. Despite everything, he was still keeping his head up and tried to fight for a just world. I think he embodies this idea of hope extremely well, even though he could be blindsided by it at times (as Achilles reminded him, life is not a fairy tale). It’s just,, I love that he still fights for that and uses that hope as a driving force in all he does despite all the odds being against him. It’s more impactful, bittersweet, and effective than nihilism I think.
And of course, I just have a soft spot for him since he’s what got me into assassin’s creed. Great first impression. I absolutely adore his character design and his body language, and ac3’s time period and meshing with history is especially great here, and at the time I was into studying 18th century America and the conflicts of that time, and seeing an indigenous perspective character instead of a colonist was super refreshing. I love his moments of kindness and tenderness in the homestead, and he’s just… a really well done and realized character. I’m so happy that he had a confirmed happy ending with a family (he said himself he wanted a family, but waited for when he could settle down some). I absolutely adored the final end scene where he finally found closure after everything. It’s just,, rewarding and comforting. Seeing someone go through so much and identifying with him, and seeing him turn out alright in the end.
Connor represents hope and recovery in my eyes, and even without my nostalgia painting my perspective, I think he’s my favorite for that reason.

I just discovered the type of men I find super attractive are the ones that look “weird” in some way (meaning they have very distinctive facial features and aren’t average in any way or form)
Jon “gigantic blue eyes that stare directly into your soul” Matteson = Gorgeous
Joey “crooked jaw” Richter = Stunning
Andrew “long ass neck, bushy eyebrows, big nose” Garfield = So Hot
