ATLANTIS - ASSASSINS CREED: ODYSSEY (2018)

[teecupangel]

Bayek meeting Desmond?

Like, Desmond gets transported back to Egyptian times and becomes a merchant or protector of some small town, and Bayek comes waltzing through.

They meet and Desmond (who may be a bit thick) doesn't connect the Hidden Ones/Assassin/Medjay relationship. And Bayek just sees this guy who might be Greek and obviously isn't Egyptian protecting this small Egyptian town. Chaos ensues.

Romance may bloom?

It would be possible for Desmond to not put two and two together because he’s never even heard of the Hidden Ones and only saw Amunet’s statue as a ‘proto-Assassin’.

There’s also this sense of loyalty he feels towards the ‘Assassin Brotherhood’ as a title because of his Bleed of Altaïr.

As far as he knows, their Creed started with the Brotherhood.

And the Hidden Ones do their best to stay out of sight after what had happened before in Sinai.

It also helps that the small town he decided to dig his roots in was an out of the way peaceful town.

They rarely get visitors and, even when they do, those people turn out to either be a relative of one or more of the townspeople or a traveler who got lost.

Desmond got a small house with a small plot of land that can be converted to farmland by saving the son of the village chief who had been chased by a pack of wild animals and had to climb a tree in fear.

Desmond had just been passing by, debating if he should try his luck in going to what would later be called Levant or to just… stop somewhere and try to build a life there.

He was so tired.

So very tired.

And the people of the town had been kind to him. They didn’t ask why he was traveling all by himself.

They even stopped asking about his past after Desmond told them it was a ‘not a kind one’.

And now, here he was…

Working on his farm using the knowledge he had from the small farm that the Farm had, the books Altaïr and Ezio had read during their lifetime about agriculture and the tips and suggestions from his neighbors and fellow townspeople.

And one day…

He appears.

Bayek of Siwa.

He calls himself a traveler.

A few drinks later and he admits to being the last Medjay, traveling the lands to ensure its peace and to help those who need a hand.

Desmond had simply been in the village’s house with most of the men because they wished to present a united front in front of a traveler armed to the teeth.

Desmond saw his missing ring finger and thought of it as a coincidence.

Then…

Their paths intersect once more while Desmond was out in the wilderness near the town, bow in hand and quiver filled with arrows to hunt.

They met by accident and Bayek admits that he heard there were ruins nearby.

Desmond heard the tale, of course.

An ancient city, deep underground, holding the ground from caving in and burying everything with strong stable pillars too many to count.

Desmond has heard of the tales.

And he knew the name.

To be more exact…

His Bleed of Altaïr knew of the name…

Imar.

The fabled City of Pillars.

He also knows that this city was supposed to be somewhere in Levant or near Levant, not here in Egypt.

The tale the villagers would tell their children was that it wasn’t a city.

It was an underground road that would lead to the fabled city.

Desmond never saw anything, not even his Eagle Vision could find anything of interest in this town or anywhere nearby.

The most interesting thing his Eagle Vision had pinged was the gold in the village chief’s house and that was actually the chest where he stored the funds he would use to maintain the towns’ buildings and roads.

But if this man believes he can find that city then Desmond felt the need to follow him.

Because if there really was an underground city or a road that would lead to it nearby?

That could only mean…

There was an Isu facility nearby.

… and perhaps a POE as well.

.

.

Cue a DLC-length storyline of Bayek looking for an underground city with a mysterious young man who seems to embody the core principles of a Hidden One.

This was from a while ago and I’ve been debating on posting it (I’m just sorry I haven’t been posting more frequently since school started) but messy idea of some of Ziio’s side of the story towards the end of the 7 years war prologue in ac3.

I kinda wanted her to parallel Ratonhnhaké:ton more in terms of putting herself on the line and being distanced from her village in the meantime in an effort to keep them safe, though put herself through extreme stress and risk instead. For context in this, Ziio has been gone for a long time, and Oiá:ner has even sent people to try and find her while she’s been off on this war effort. Ziio only comes home when she feels she has secured the safety of the valley, especially with finding Achilles on the way back home and finding out she’s part of a much larger war now since her involvement with haytham and his crew (explaining why and how she’s technically an assassin ally)

I really wanted to give her a more vulnerable moment here where the cracks begin to show and being away from her support system really affected her, especially after everything she’s gone through. She’s incredibly cool and capable but she’s only human— and I really wish the game explored more of her and Oiá:ner’s conflict and dynamic personally since there’s some pretty interesting lore within her bio regarding that. She’s a risk taker but in some ways she bit off more than she could chew here.

When Ratonhnhaké:ton comes around and eventually leaves the village to find the assassins, Oiá:ner sees so much of Ziio within him too and worries that he’ll suffer the same fate and stress— but she doesn’t want to fight with him like she fought and butt heads with Ziio all those years ago.

I feel like I'm going crazy right now, but didn't AC3 have a thing where there were secret Freemason tunnels under the colonies? They were introduced early in the main story so you knew they were there, smt like "Here's how you can escape from soldiers, follow the rats to get out, have fun." And then you had to find the different entrances and map out the system as you went through the game.

I SWEAR that was a thing, but I'm like 75% through the game right now (the original version, not the remaster) and they are NOWHERE. Was it part of a DLC or something? Someone tell me that was real.

I will use sleepy moon rays, crimson leaves, owl lullabies and wolven paw prints to pave my way straight to your dreams Sweet sneaking in your night, like raven cries sleepdancing to your sighs, dreamwalking through your mind And at dawn, you'll only remember a tune tiny wings flaking, light glints through dew slipping tear left of my love hymn to You

Had such a stupid idea/mental image.

Desmond reborn as worm. But wait, where does the worm show up? Eating his way out of the Apple of fuckin Eden like any worm would!

I just don’t even know what would happen next but I’m positive it’d be hilarious

Well… we can set this up to be the beginning of this Desmond as a Huge Ass Worm idea from before?

That way, the twist would be that the worm could actually turn into a huge worm.

Honestly, this ask just makes me remember the whole “would you still love me even if I was a worm?” XD

For this one, I think it would be funny if Desmond is found eating the Apple by Al Mualim and Malik while the Templars were storming Masyaf. They, of course, didn’t expect Desmond to have eaten it. They thought he had simply wiggled his way into the case because there was a small opening that a worm his ‘size’ could fit into.

That was fine with Desmond, he wiggles his way to where he saw the gold in this strange worm vision he now has.

(It took hours though because… well… worms aren’t known to be fast in the first place anyway)

When he gets there, his guess was right and the gold was Altaïr, sleeping in what counts as the ‘hospital’ in the fortress.

Without the Apple to create illusions for Altaïr, Desmond supposed he had been punished… the ‘usual way’.

He stays near Altaïr’s head and curls around himself.

And has no idea what to do when Altaïr wakes up.

(His worries are for naught because Altaïr wakes up and sees him as gold. He has no idea why but he keeps him anyway… he learns later on why when he’s being pursued by crusaders while traveling)

With Ezio, I like the idea that they found him asleep after eating half of the Apple that was being transported to Venice. Mario thinks the Apple is broken (it is) and Leonardo finds the worm fascinating. Ezio touches him once and Desmond realize that, by eating the Apple, he got the Apple’s ability XD

With Ratonhnhaké:ton, George Washington opens the box where the Apple should be and finds the remains of an Apple (which he didn’t recognize because why would he?) and a worm. Thinking that the worm just got inside the box and whatever was originally in the box wasn’t there anymore or had been destroyed, he gave the box to one of his men to categorize it as another ‘confiscated item’. From there, the story revolves around Desmond’s adventure to finally get to the homestead XD

Thoughts on the tyranny of king Washington dlc?

Not good.

I believe I’ve talked about this before on my blog but I can’t find the posts to link back to rn unfortunately.,,

But uhh I’ll just. Lightning round it real fast

“it’s all a dream” dumbassery

Racism behind the scenes (exclusion of indigenous talent and consultants that were present in the main game, very little care or no usage of the Kanienkehá:ka language, etc)

P much non of the indigenous cast returned except for Noah as Ratonhnhaké:ton. Ziio, Kanen’tó:kon, Oiá:ner… all different people (and all white or non indigenous if memory serves me right. I heard a story where Tiio Horn didn’t even know the dlc was being made until Noah told her at a con)

Killing ziio again for no god damn reason. And Kanen’tó:kon. Oh how about we kill Oiá:ner this time too. All of em died shamefully.

Writing Ratonhnhaké:ton pretty badly,,?? Idc if it’s bc of the weird tea he drank he shouldn’t be an asshole to Kanen’tó:kon and have that go unaddressed

Making him more animalistic and a jerk in general. Like the animal spirit dream segments keep making him run around on all fours n snarling n shit STOP IT

THEY WROTE ZIIO SO BADLY????? She only appears as this big floating head after her death shaming him for drinking the tea and she finally says “you’re no son of mine” JESUS CHRIST???????? This is not my Kaniehtí:io who are you and what did you do to her. No amount of girlbossism is gonna fix this for me

The spirit animals powers and plot … self explanatory (I love how ac3 took efforts to avoid harmful stereotypes and then just mega beamed it into the dlc)

His outfit,,, most of the game is in winter why aren’t u dressed more practically omg. Also I get.. weird vibes from it idk. It low key feels like an excuse to just make him scantily clad eye candy (also they debuffed him a lil which makes me sad. You are dehydrated !!!!)

“Wouldn’t it be wild if George Washington was genocidal good thing he never had the apple irl” hate to break it to you but— (I’m sorry I just. The framing in the game irks me where they treat him being racist as being the result of the apple and that he’s just a misunderstood guy that wants a vineyard or whatever tf he said in the game)

Thomas Jefferson being here and being a good guy. Idk I just. I don’t like it.

It has a salvageable premise,, a reimagined history timeline of a largely indigenous cast rising against a maniacal George Washington that shoots lasers. In the hands of a better crew and artist i think it would have been great and fun but as is.,,

I also like bad end alternate universe stories where someone gets dropped into a world where everything they know is wrong!! Call me silly but. Phineas and Ferb across the second dimension. But no yeah this is awful awful awful despite using a trope I like.

The only good thing I can say about tokw is that it has a great score. Lorne Balfe knocks it out of the park again but no yeah this kinda sucks ass imo. Also Noah’s voice performance really went off here but that’s it.

If I find the posts I talked abt this before in I’ll link it here but yeah. Lucky me that my favorite ac game also has the worst dlc of the entire franchise. And so the monkey paw curled.

Also heads up I’m not indigenous so when I talk abt the more racial stuff here, I’m not speaking from experience but rather what I’ve learned from other people who discuss stereotypes in media and what should be done to allow better representation

Anyways that’s abt it will edit if I find my old posts

'Oh, to be an ‘unfortunate’ on the streets of London during the Ripper campaign. Older!Evie is absolutely gorgeous, and if she were to perhaps save me from an unruly client, well, I’d just have to thank her, wouldn’t I? And if she happens to drop by the brothel I work at more frequently to ‘defend’ it, then that’s her business. The autumn chill wouldn’t touch her when I kiss her.'
