Hi there, Alamut!Nonnie here! Decided to say my thanks here, because I thoroughly enjoyed the latest chapter of "The Eagle of Alamut"! I put on the "Into the Light" track from Mirage to go with the chapter and it was - *chef's kiss* I do admit, while reading, I imagined it as this odd amalgalmation of in-trailer Alamut, Prince of Persia (movie) Alamut, and Bagdad from Mirage trailer. Just - more dishelved? But hey, it works.

Hi Alamut!Nonny! I’m glad you enjoyed this week’s chapter of Eagle of Alamut!

I’m going to be honest with you, I did base it on the concept art of Alamut in AC Mirage and Alamut in the Prince of Persia movie.

The general structure of Alamut was based on the concept art of Alamut in the Prince of Persia movie (although I will tweak a bit of the detail which I will show you guys as Desmond sees more of Alamut). The main idea was to show that Al Mualim 'copied' Masyaf's structure from Alamut so just take the palace between the town and the actual castle and put it on top of the mount and surround it with three towers so that the town is below similar to Masyaf and its village.

Another shot for Alamut that I used as inspiration:

Just imagine that the palace to the right is also a tower and push the tower on the bottom further to make way for a palace, and you'll have an idea of what Desmond saw when he first entered the castle Alamut castle.

Why three towers?

The three-tower structure came from the Alamut concept art from Mirage. This concept art was also used as inspiration for the idea that the main castle of Alamujt is the only one set on an elevated area.

It’ll probably come up in the narration later on but I’ll say it here anyway as a treat XD

The way Alamut is constructed is that the castle was built first and the town came in later once it starts to gain ‘prominence’ in the area. That’s why the town is not part of the mount it’s on.

Also, there are a lot of towns near Alamut under the Persian Brotherhood's care but Desmond has only seen the lower town directly below Alamut castle.

Another thing: The large population of scholars is part of Alamut’s history (and, in Eagle of Alamut, another thing that Al Mualim copied with his library filled with scholars approved by the Levantine Brotherhood)

From Wikipedia:

With its astronomical instruments and rare collection of works, the library attracted scholars and scientists of a variety of religious persuasions from around the world who visited it for many months at a time, hosted by the Isma'ilis.

(In case anyone is wondering, no, you do not need to play or watch Prince of Persia to understand Eagle of Alamut. It takes inspiration from a few things but the narration will explain them as Desmond understands them so it'll be fine... narrative-wise anyway.)

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.

as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."

NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING

i was thinking about that post comparing Jessica Rabbit as an asexual to Barbie and an asexual and then i thought of the Neil Gaiman post (was it a post?) about Crowley and Aziraphale being asexual sexless and then this happened.

anyways. thoughts?

sorry it took so long I meant to do this a week ago but my brain is full of rocks.

[Image ID a three sided venn diagram. the big circles show Margot Robbie's Barbie sitting in front of a mirror, Jessica and Roger Rabbit from the poster of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens standing back to back. Between Barbie and Jessica Rabbit it says "sexualised by society". Between Jessica Rabbit and Aziraphale and Crowley it says "Knows what sex is". Between Aziraphale and Crowley and Barbie it says "no reproductive system(?)". the center is the asexual flag. End ID]

Also i haven't seen the Barbie movie as of this edit so at least please tag your spoilers.

I’ve been obsessed with the Olympics for the past week, and obsessed with Dick Grayson for longer, so here’s the crossover we all deserve.

Plus, gorgeous sweaty acrobat in gymnastics poses? Only positives.
