A True Journal of the Life and Happenings of the OFMD Fandom

January the 16th. An excellent day! Raided a Deadline article and an Instagram reel after overpowering Max’s hearty customer service crew. Claimed a lifetime supply of Astroglide in conquest.

They’ll never forget the Eccentric Pirate Stede Bonnet and his savage, insane, vengeful Gay Twitter.

The Desmond can take things from his ancestors continuation that has the slightly yandere Desmond hit my brain and now I'm thinking of the AC1 story but all of Altaïr's targets are already dead by the time he gets to them with a list of their crimes and messages that read like love letters on the bodies because Desmond got it into his head this would be a good way of helping (Desmond didn't mean for the messages to be so romantic but he's not complaining about how Altaïr is already half in love with him when they meet, even if Altaïr is also annoyed about the kill stealing)

The AltDes continuation of Desmond being able to steal from his ancestors that has a slight yandere!Desmond added in.

Let’s be honest, Desmond would try to keep the letters professional but everyone who reads it (the Rafiqs, Malik, and Al Mualim) could clearly see the little bits here and there that shows how much this ‘killer’ was doing it for Altaïr’s benefit.

Hell, he’s so open about it that Altaïr believes Desmond is in love with him.

And maybe… just maybe… Altaïr hides the secret second letters that Desmond always leaves somewhere close by. Letters that are more personal and addressed directly to him.

Letters that feels like water being dripped into the dying sprout that had been severely neglected all these years because of his status in the Brotherhood and the strained relationship he has with many of his brothers.

Desmond leaves letters that makes Altaïr believe someone does care about him more than because he was an Assassin or because he was strong.

Desmond’s letters are light but genuine and they’re more candid than the ones he leaves in the scene of the murder itself. They were…

Letters from one person to another.

Personal.

And they always start the same way.

My dear Altaïr…

(Which is actually a mistranslation in Desmond’s part. He was trying to write ‘Dear Altaïr’ but he writes ‘My dear Altaïr’ instead which could be unintentional or a subconscious decision on Desmond’s part)

The letters always asks how he’s doing and always reminds him to eat and rest. It could have been patronizing but Altaïr couldn’t help but feel… something more to it.

He’s still annoyed by the kill stealing but… at the same time…

This was probably the grandest ‘romantic’ gesture anyone had ever did for him.

(Smashcut back to Jerusalem Bureau, Malik shivers, feeling a disturbance in the air that makes him think… ‘aw, crap. Altaïr is doing or going to do something stupid and I’ll be the one suffering because of it’)

And because Desmond is doing everything for Altaïr (“Everything I do, I do for you, Altaïr. That much you can trust. Although I would suggest not trusting me in general.”), he’s going to screw up the timeline so badly that the Calculations would go kaput even before September 1191 hits.

How?

Well, for one, he saved Kadar although nobody knows that because Kadar is still bedridden and healing from his wounds.

It’s actually Kadar who suggests that Desmond leaves letters explaining his actions.

Kadar was trying to help his savior because… well… it was clear Desmond was a bit lost on what to do.

Although, because Kadar was Altaïr’s number one fan, he’s also the one that pushed Desmond to address the letter directly to Altaïr and write as if he’s talking to Altaïr.

In Kadar’s defense, he was trying to make them friends. He didn’t know that Desmond isn’t really the most… uuhhh… stable at the moment.

So Desmond starts actually obsessing over Altaïr.

Enough to try and ‘fix’ things.

Like…

Well, Abbas had an accident during one of his patrols and the healers believe his leg would not recover and he’d walk with a limp for the rest of his life, his Assassin 'career' destroyed in the process.

Maria Thorpe had disappeared and Kadar had gotten a new roommate who definitely did not appreciate being kidnapped. Desmond’s “tell her the truth about the Templar Order” plan did not go as he had planned but he can’t let Maria escape now since she’d seen his face and know where he lives. Soooo… Kadar is unofficially tasked with making sure Maria doesn’t get away and try to uuuhh… do his best in converting Maria to their side. (Whether this ends as KadMar or Kadar and Maria being besties is up to you XD)

And then…

Desmond and Altaïr actually meet for the first time.

Their eyes meet and it was like the entire world simply… fell away.

Disappeared into nothing.

For nothing was more important than this moment.

They felt like they knew one another even though they had not uttered a word to each other.

They felt like this moment, this very time and place, existed so they could finally meet.

… which really didn’t have a good timing because Altaïr had barged into the room while Desmond had just killed his latest target so blood was pooling into the floor and the guards were on their way because they heard strange noises thanks to Altaïr forgetting to minimize his noise because he had been too busy staring at Desmond.

"I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my Krootox don't like people laughin'. Gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it..."

The Kroot with No Name

My favorite operative in my Farstalker Kinband Killteam, the Kroot Pistolier (I prefer "Gunslinger" though, it's easier to say, too!) is such an awesome piece that can do some close-range burst damage AND can even get a shot off on a quick draw!

Free-handing the iconic poncho design was definitely a challenge, when you really look at it the pattern is pretty darn complex!

More on the process under the cut:

I've always been a huge fan of the Kroot, so when their Killteam was announced a couple years back I was over the moon with excitement. I'm still in disbelief that they're actually going for an entire Kroot-focused detachment in 40k though; when that box is finally released I'm totally screwed. Anyway, when I picked these bad boys up initially, I had to put them all together in time for a Killteam Spec-Ops narrative campaign I was doing in a couple days, but I saw these two models in the instructions and my conversion-obsessed brain was already off to the races:

The poncho on the Warrior was straight out of a Spaghetti Western, and luckily for me, the Pistolier's arm bits fit almost perfectly (with a little greenstuff filling). If I was going to go full-on Western, though, the hardest part was definitely making a convincing-looking hat.

I toyed with a couple different methods, but the most doable seemed to be sculpting a greenstuff "crown" onto a flat "brim" piece. The problem was finding a good material to make the "brim", though. In the end, I settled on using one of these:

The humble milk carton pull tab! With some (somewhat) careful pruning, the thickness of these things make for a pretty believable hat brim at this scale. With a couple rings from a jeweler's chain because I had to throw in the Gun X Sword reference to accent the hat, it was done! I wouldn't finish painting the poor guy until wayyy later, but I got some fancy shaded priming done in time for the campaign, at the very least...

Thanks for reading! If I can get my workspace in order hopefully I'll be able to post more painted models, since they're more fun to look at and write about. I need a lot more practice painting, too, so hopefully this blog can help me feel like I'm progressing in my painting ability the more I post on it.

I definitely want to write more on here about the Kroot, too, since they're one of my favorite aspects of 40k! Expect some more on them when I get around to taking some pictures of one of the bigger Kroot conversions that got me into the hobby.

Next time though, I think I'll divulge a bit from the mainstream Games Workshop beat and write about some cool miniatures you may have never heard of!

LEG IS VERY GENDER THIS UPDATE

Hmm so if I don’t reach out … it’s just fuck me??

[vintageshits]

no, no, no, hear me out…

THIS Raskolnikov

my sweetheart, my precious husband, my beloved ♡

listens to ULTRAVIOLENCE

he might even jam to the words:

“You talk lots about God

Freedom comes from the call

But that's not what this bitch wants

Not what I want at all”

and I might even sing to him (because why not? it’s my delulu, i get to choose):

“But you haven't seen my man (man)

You haven't seen him (woah-oh)

He's got the fire

And he walks with it

He's got the fire

And he talks with it”

my man always suffering, always in pain always sneaky and secretive, not a single smile, not a single trace of irony…♪my baby lives in shades of cool ♪ 😭🖤

♪ he prays for love, he prays for peace ♪

i mean, i mean…

guess you can say…

♪ he’s pretty when he cries ♪

WHEREAS THIS RASKOLNIKOV

not my favorite but the babygirl of many of you (I get it, tho)

listens to BORN TO DIE

but let’s be f for real, not just born to die, but

✨THE PARADISE EDITION✨

i mean, look a the man!!!

so sassy, so unbothered at times…so

‘Not even they can stop me now

Boy, I’ve been flying over head

Their heavy words can’t bring me down

Boy, I’ve been raised from the dead’

but this boy also has his downs!!!

but they sound more like:

‘I’m tired of feeling like I’m fucking crazy

I’m tired of driving ‘til I see stars in my eyes

All I’ve got to keep myself sane, baby

So I just ride, I just ride’

but instead of riding, my fella would walk, and wander, and walk the streets of Petersburg.

SO, YOUR HONOUR, I REST MY CASE!!!

END OF BRAINROT.

where did this nonsense come from?
