Jey’s Pride Celebration 2021

Hello all!

I decided for Pride month this year, I wanted to do daily writing prompts and really focus on wlw/lady characters, thruples and canon queer characters. I am opening requests for the prompt list below now and I’ll (hopefully) be posting them daily for the month of June. I’m going to aim for these to be around 1k words each since I’ll have a lot to do but they may end up longer or shorter depending on how it goes while I’m writing.

ALSO!

I will be hosting a weekly writing challenge for everyone to join in as well! I’ll post the weekly prompt every Saturday evening and reblog people’s works throughout the week. You can write for any character as long as it’s along the queer pride theme (lady loves, thruples and canon queer characters). Smut is welcome but please make sure you tag for it and any other content warnings! Please let me know if you like to participate and I can tag you in the weekly prompt lists. 

I’ll make a post closer to June with more details and the first week's prompts!

Just please be 18+ to participate as my blog is an 18 and over space.

~

A few things first!

One request per person please! Just to give everyone a chance to get a request in since they’re only going to be 30. Anon is fine! Please send as an ask so I can keep track of everything.

Please let me know if you want a fem, or gn reader. For the lady loves I’ll default to a fem or afab if I use pronouns since this is for pride.

Also let me know if there’s anything specific you do or don’t want (fluff, smut, a specific scenario, an au, etc). I am not writing angst for this event since it’s a pride celebration.

I’d also like to make sure there’s variety in what I’m writing so if there’s more than 4 or 5 requests for a character I’ll stop taking requests for them for this event. 

You don’t have to be following me but I always appreciate a follow! Especially since I’m so close to a follower milestone! My blog is 18+ only though so please don’t interact or follow if you’re a minor even if you don’t want smut. I am uncomfortable allowing minors here or interacting with minors I don’t know.

I will not write: pregnancy, breeding kink, age gaps, daddy kink, anything to do with religion, underage, noncon. 

I’ll keep this post updated for when prompts have been taken or if I’m no longer taking requests for a character. Any questions feel free to message or DM me!

Hi, did you play every AC game? If yes, in term of game plays which are the easiest? For someone without much experience in games, ty!

Not every AC game, because I can handle only so much of cookie cutter games at a time. Before I say more, lemme get this out of the way first: I played the Ezio trilogy back in 2018 because Da Vinci’s Demons was cancelled and I wanted more Da Vinci content and the white and red hoodie looks cool. In other words, I didn’t play the game because it’s called Assassin’s Creed.

The AC games I played so far, by the order of which one I play first. I’ll rate gameplay by my personal preferences (because it’s the only way I know how).

Ezio’s trilogy (AC2, AC Brotherhood, AC Revelations, played in 2018): decent parkour, minimal grind (just invest in the villa and you’re a millionaire in a day or two), very story focused (perfect balance of historical and modern plots). Decent combat. The golden years of AC and I agree.

Unity (played a few months after Ezio): good parkour, medium grind (bigger map and more items to upgrade, you still get to invest in properties so it helps). Time-saver items are on sale for real money aka MTX (ew). Combat is ok, not much difference since Ezio. Historical story is meh (I don’t care for Arnold because Elise’s story is more interesting) and they completely ditched the modern plot (you think Odyssey has little modern day plot, try Unity). Buggiest AC game I encountered and I played this game 4+ yrs after launch (hold on to that thought, keep reading). Ubi spent all of their time and budget doing the interior design (which is gorgeous btw) that they have none left to fix the bugs.

Black Flag (a few months after): chasing flying papers is my favorite activity to NOT do. Grindy af (no property investment). I can’t tolerate the controls for the ship so I hate everything that involves ship in this pirate game, except for sea shanties. You’ll have more fun playing this game as a pirate than an assassin. Combat feels the same since Ezio. Other mechanics are like Unity (understandable). Modern plot is minimal, but it makes bloodline irrelevant and there’s a....soul inside a computer server that wants to possess a human body, meanwhile said soul’s husband is a maniac who has unlimited reincarnations (realism, I know). Black Flag is the gateway game that convinces me that I should stop wasting my brain cells in “what kinda bs realism is dis?”

Odyssey (a month after launch, bought solely because of Kassandra also when I heard Odyssey is set before the creed, oh fuck yea I don’t need to sit through another rehash of Creed crap or at least minimal anyway): oh gods a breath of fresh air from the old controls where you have to hold R2 whenever you want to run and my fingers hurt sfm. Climbing is the best because the protag actually moves where you want them to move. MTX (ew). Grindy but because the combat and movements are smooth, best combat so far; I don’t see Odyssey as grindy because I enjoy my time playing (also Kassandra); I platinum the game on PS4 at around 130 hrs I think, could’ve been earlier but photomode. Fun quests that I giggle whenever thinking about them (I don’t remember shit about any quests in any other AC game, but then again Kassandra). People bitch about no parkour but who parkour in the 450BCE?!?!? Full disclosure: I never cared for parkour and never will. I stop caring for modern plot after how Unity and Black Flag handled it. Playing Odyssey makes me realize that I enjoy AC games more if idgaf for the AC aspect, rather, I play for the fictional historical tourism aspect. Just ditch the AC and voila, blue sky and fresh air. Playing Odyssey also makes me realize that I want a spin-off IP that focus on the Isu so we can go full fantasy. Do I need to say how pretty Odyssey is? lol

Origins (planned to play Origins first, but Kassandra. Also, I remember Amunet from AC2, but somehow we play as a dude in Ancient Egypt, I’m not too eager to find out, despite I prefer Egyptian mythology over Greek and I’d like to thank Yu-gi-oh for that): combat is clunky, heavy, and slow, though no need to hold R2 to run so phew. Grindy af. The bow mechanics is a decade outdated (Horizon Zero Dawn came out the same year and oh boi the difference is night and day, oh yea I played HZD before Origins. I get it the bow isn’t the focus but does it have to feel like Skyrim in 2017?). I’m glad I play this game for the Ancient Egypt (which is beautifully designed *chef kiss*) aspect and no more. 

Syndicate (I play this along side of Origins, still haven’t finished it though. Literally bought the game for Evie and I nut over Victorian fashion): combat is no different from Unity. Grindy like Black Flag and Unity. Story is meh in both historical and modern plot so far. Evie is the only reason I’m still trying to play this game. At least the Helix outfits are included in the Gold edition of the game. Victorian London is gorgeous tho.

Valhalla (only care for this game because Eivor. Tbh after God of War and Hellblade, idc for another Viking game): game is buggy af, buggiest AC game I’ve played. Combat is like Origins but worse: the only saving grace is the finishing move & the bow mechanic hasn’t been improved since Origin; I honestly would rather have combat from the Ezio games over whatever-this-is. You have to toggle a button to run now, which is dumb af because I miss Origins and Odyssey automatic run. They bring parkour back (because Vikings totally dig parkour back in the Dark Ages) as well as the-character-doesn’t-move-where-you want-them-to from the older games. Chasing flying papers from black flag is back, no thx. Looting enemies is useless, but hey you get to run around to look for a key or two or THREE to get some minimal amount of materials; so imagine if 2/3 of every chest in Origins and Odyssey are locked. Oh! You have manually pick berries/food to heal, no healing potion, wtf is this half-ass RPG shit? Side quests, oh sorry World Events, aren’t tracked in an open-world game (guess who hasn’t been doing these bitches?). Grindy af. I’m wasting my time looking at the skill points interface (you have 99 lv in Odyssey, 55 in Origins, 403 power in Valhalla. A game doesn’t feel like grindy if you level up every 2 quests for 403 times, does it? lololol). The useless SP tree is so massive that I just don’t use the skills I acquire because it takes too much time to find out which buttons to push to locate the 10 skills in this 403-dot clusterfuck, but the astronomy design is beautiful (gotta give credit when it’s due). Scummy practice from Ubi: releasing “time-saver” pack AFTER reviews are published. Also, who wanna bet there will be more mtx outfits than in-game outfits? Don’t worry, Ubi makes inventory management cLEaNeR for you *hands over 8 outfits for an RPG game*. The free event bugs tf out of your already buggy event, but hey, you’ll get a free outfit that’s a reskin of what you already have, teeheee be grateful. Eivor is amazing but by the gods playing this game is a chore. Tbh I only play Valhalla if I don’t feel like playing Ghost of Tsushima that day. Lastly, why is England so yellow like it’s Ancient Egypt?!?!? And why the sunlight moves faster than Eivor’s running at full speed? Which parts of this game does realism count?!?!?!?

Unsolicited opinion: GoT is an example of how an AC game should be and how DLCs should be handled, but with Ubisoft it will never be and I’m so fucking glad that it is Sucker Punch Prod which handles feudal Japan with utmost respect and realism. See how “honor” is handled in both games and compare the writing. Ubisoft should have announced ding dong AC is dead and create a new IP, but AC is their most financially successful franchise so expect more of this MTX, I mean, grindy RPG approach with minimal narrative.

Games of 2020

So I've only been gaming a few years and this is the first year I've played enough games to actually make a top 10 list. So here we go with my top 10 games of the year.

1. Days Gone One of, if not the best zombie games I've ever played. It's the perfect mix of vast open world, varied and in-depth characters with a plot line that had me playing through the night like a good book I couldn't put down. I happily platinumed this one and am now replaying on nightmare mode. Without a doubt, Days Gone is my Game of 2020.

2. Dragon Age Came to this game pretty late, 6 years post release and I have to say this game has aged well. The graphics are really good, the plot lines and characters are always changing depending on your decisions - which I love - and all that coupled with the best romance options of any game I've ever played, quickly put this in 2nd only because I’m obsessed with Days Gone.

3. Spyro How could this not be on my list after hour upon hour of running around as a crazy little purple dragon, shouting angrily at the egg thieves (if you've had the joy of chasing these guys you'll feel my pain). Still, with the trilogy edition remastered it was one of my most played games this year, the fact its three games in one just means there's a crazy amount of trophies for me to get.

4. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens Played this in duo's, it was the only way I could make any progress through the story on it, the chapters are really long, the worlds - and there are many - are large and take forever to complete, with a wide variety of different things to do. I loved every second of it, it was one of my favourite Lego games of all time - and I've played a lot of them.

5. Life is Strange 2 Have played all the ones before and while the original is definitely still my favourite, the new characters added a new layer for me that I loved. Sean and Daniel are perfect beans and they deserve so much better, but I cannot emphasise enough how important even the smallest decisions can impact the world and characters around you. There are so many different endings you can get that on my third play through I'm still getting a new ending.

6. Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Played this after the the 2nd one and while I much prefer that one to this one, I did love this game, its a perfect blend of anime style game and open world quest lines. I'm only about a third of the way through at the moment but I've enjoyed everything I've played so far and it's nice to see so many things in the 2nd game that clearly came from this one.

7. Assassin's Creed: Odyssey So I love all the recent AC games and I guarantee you that Valhalla will be on my list somewhere next year, but Odyssey is such a culturally immersive game - just like Origins - and the armour and weapons design is just incredible, that doesn't even mention the plot lines and the impact you have on the world. Having finished the storyline, I am still working my way through the other quests and side missions that are still very challenging as they are designed to be completed post story.

8. Fortnite So after much nagging from my friend I finally downloaded this and needless to say despite that fact that I'm not a teenage boy, I do love this game and find it very relaxing to play, it also helps that me and my best friends and pretty good so Victory Royals happen pretty often.

9. Shadow of Mordor Another game I discovered much later than the rest of my friends but oh my god, I actually love this game. The lieutenants is a great game feature and is a lot of fun as is the adding of perks to different weapons that you have, the plot is also really good and has a healthy dose of vengeance as any good game should. 

10. Thief This one surprised me I'm not going to lie. I bought it on a whim from the PS Store during a sale and decided for the price I payed if i didn't like it, it wasn't the end of the world. Needless to say i liked it, very much. The quests are cool and stealing things in video games is always fun so its not surprising why this made into my top 10 for 2020

Drop me a message if you have any recommendations for games you think I would enjoy. FYI - don’t do horror, I’m a complete wuss.
