Apologies for those who joined my blog for a specific fandom, just to watch me float from fandom to fandom like a little hyperfixated bee

I know Ubisoft put zero research into this and has no idea what they've done, but Shao Jun having short hair is kind of a Big Deal, actually.

During Ye Olde China times, cutting your hair was often seen as a sign of disrespect or disgrace, because you were expected to keep it long and maintain it, as every part of your body was a gift from your parents.

This would have been an especially big deal during the Ming Dynasty, as the dynasty preceding it was ruled by Mongols, who braided their hair. Their customs were long viewed by Han Chinese as "barbaric," and so keeping their hair long and in Han styles would have been an act of cultural pride.

Ubisoft probably just felt like making a short-haired character! They couldn't even bother to give her a Chinese voice actress, so zero thought was put into her! But now I have all these in-universe headcanons about why she has short hair!!!!!!

Maybe she cut her hair when she joined the Brotherhood to signify that she didn't belong to anyone anymore, and besides, people couldn't see it from under the hood anyway.

My biggest headcanon is that she cut it when she went into exile, to signify that she had been severed from the motherland, and refused to let it grow back until she had come back and killed Zhang Yong!

I like to think that after she had come back and restored the Brotherhood, she grew her hair back out again, and that she grew into a wise old Mentor with hair longer and more well-kept than anyone's.

Riyria Chronicles is so funny because Royce and Hadrian never set out to antagonise the church but that’s what happens. Every single time. Half the time they don’t even realise it

Finally finished the art challenge! And because my own style is currently in limbo and in a state of change, I redid it. Whatcha think? What's your favorite style of Deshi? Should I do another challenge like this with another character? Or same character but different styles? This really boosted my confidence in my own abilities, it really did. ^^

Just got thrown for a nostalgia loop and had an idea: AC x Lunar Chronicles. I don’t even know where my brain is going with this but it would be so cool.

In my brain, the obvious thing would be that the Templars are Lunars since the whole mind control deelio fits their vibe but what if Desmond was like half Lunar. And/Or what if Desmond was a cyborg? And the ancestors are actual memories uploaded into robots?

Or what if Desmond just gets transported into the Lunar Chronicles universe and, because of Isu DNA, he’s immune to Lunar Glamour without being a Shell.

Or or, he gets transported there as a Lunar child but with all the memories of original Desmond and has to figure out what the fuck is Glamour and how to use it.

My initial idea would be the Lunars are an evolution of the Isus who left Earth before the Solar Flare (or didn’t go to Earth in the first place) but turning them into the Templar equivalent in this setup would be a nice change (since I did turn the people of the Moon in the Sailor Moon AU into Isus already XD).

So for this one, the Templars had long ‘converted’ the Lunars into their ideology but it becomes wrapped by the feeling of superiority the Lunars easily find thanks to their capabilities for mind control. The idea of ‘Total Control will Bring Absolute Peace’ that the Templars have been trying to push forward will be lost in the process thanks to the selfishness being brought out by the total power the Lunars have on people.

In this situation, Winter isn’t the epitome of what the Templar wanted because she refused to use her ‘gift’ but she would mistake the Templar’s cause to something like “Order is necessary to bring peace”.

Of course, we’ll set Desmond up in this world as a scifi fairy tale character. My initial idea was to turn her to the transmigrated equivalent of Wizard of Oz where he awakens as the only child of a Lunar family that isn’t really high up there in the hierarchy to be considered a ‘danger’ to the politics of Lunars but high enough that he would be raised with a semi-silver spoon.

Of course, we picked Wizard of Oz (and ignore the fact that it’s technically not one of the classic fairy tales) because this gives us the chance to give Desmond his ancestors:

The Scarecrow

The Tinman

The Lion

The Lion is Ratonhnhaké:ton, a human captured to become a slave of Desmond’s family. Of course, Desmond says no to this and they only pretend to be master and slave while trying to find Ratonhnhaké:ton’s tribe who had gone into hiding after their settlement had been attacked. Ratonhnhaké:ton wants to find his people who were also captured like him and Desmond usually helps him either by buying them when security is too tight or by finding ways to help Ratonhnhaké:ton break them out as quietly as possible.

The Tinman is Ezio who is an android that was gifted to Desmond when he was a baby, to be both his companion and his guard. He’s pretty much Desmond’s butler and minder and gets roped into Desmond and Ratonhnhaké:ton’s plans because he has to make sure Desmond is safe and won’t get into trouble. He acts more like an older brother to Desmond and Ratonhnhaké:ton most of the time but he is also bound to report everything Desmond does to his parents thanks to a chip that has been installed into him.

The Scarecrow is Altaïr and we have two option: Earthean or Lunar. Regardless of which one he is, his main problem is that he wants to receive the recognition he deserves for his works in a scholarly field (Quantum physics? Idk, something connected to how Desmond got transmigrated to this world). His work has been taken by an older more influential Lunar either because (if he’s an Earthean) he’s an Earthean and his peers think he’s lower than them or (if he’s a Lunar) he’s from a fallen Lunar family who perhaps helped slaves run away and has been stripped of their ranks. Regardless, Desmond becomes more or less his financial backer because Desmond believes that Altaïr might be able to figure out how to get Desmond back to his world (or, at the very least, let him get into contact with them).

Now, here’s the fun part. Does Desmond remember them as his ancestors?

It would be fun if he does and would give Desmond a reason to trust them as soon as he meets them.

An alternative would be that Desmond’s memories of them (aka: his time in the Animus) is blank. Only his memories as Desmond Miles are vivid. He knows he used the Animus to get stronger but he doesn’t remember what he saw in the Animus.

Another alternative is that he starts to remember them only after meeting them or after his relationship with them is at the point where they trust each other.

Regardless of which it is, the main point is that the three does not remember their past lives (or, Altaïr’s theory, their alternate life) but their personality are quite similar to what Desmond is used to.

To hammer in the Wizard of Oz setting, the courage that Ratonhnhaké:ton is meant to receive is finally understanding the difference between being courageous and being reckless. Ezio’s ‘heart’ is the character development he would have as he become more and more like Desmond and Ratonhnhaké:ton’s older brother. Altaïr’s ‘brain’ is the recognition for his works. Desmond is modeled as both Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz as he meets them and grants them their wish. Toto the dog is gonna be an android corgi dog named Des.

Desmond’s parents are actually Glinda (Minerva) and the Wicked Witch of the West (Juno). Minerva believes that letting Desmond do what he wants will make him understand his place in their world. Juno helps in the background while trying to nudge Desmond into understanding his place as a Lunar (and maybe she’s planning a coup to become the most powerful Lunar, who knows? That’s like plot D in this one)

I love how queer Althea is and how queer her relationship with Brashen is.

For the sake of this analysis I'll refer to Althea as straight because it seems to be what she is in the books/canon, and also in my personal interpetation of her character, but as we all know there are many different ways to read and interprit a book.

So.

Through Liveships one of Althea's greatest fears seems to be being put into the role of a gender-conforming wife. She has also specifically expressed wanting to have the role of the husband/the masculine role in the relationship.

I was first uninterested and a bit frustrated in her relationship with Brashen since I've seen this EVERYWHERE.

In so many pieces of media you see the masculine woman who "doesnt need no men" get in a straight relationship with a man that brings out her feminine and soft side which is always so frustrating because it shoves a queer-coded and gender-non conforming character and puts her in an unbearbly heteronormative relationship and ruins her character by pushing her into the feminine role, which always feels very out of character.

(Either that or the relationship is treated as a joke - because whats funnier than a woman being more masculine than the man shes dating? Whats funnier than implying a man isn't masculine conpared to his girlfriend?)

Except that doesn't happen with Althea and Brashen. Despite "being" Brashen's wife she isnt suddenly in that feminine role.

We see this in the Rain Wild Chronicals, people who knew of Althea found it silly for her to be called "Brashen's wife".

We see this even more in Asssassin's Fate, where we get to see more of Althea and Brashen working on Paragon and co-captaining.

Althea didn't get the house-husband she wanted in Liveships, but she still didn't take on the "feminine" role in their relationship. There is no one in Althea and Brashen's relationship who is in the role of the wife, they both have the "role of the husband", the "masculine" role in their relationship.

Its not a masculine man and his weird slightly masc girlfriend, its two people who both have the masculine role in the relationship. It is so refreshing to me and very, very queer.

In my modern au Yusuf and Shaojun are besties that’s all that’s the post

I feel like if we were to stick to the university setting, Shaojun would be a foreign exchange student and Ezio (seeing Sofia at the time) would be her host family? Idk but that idea really speaks to me

And Yusuf is an eager T.A. type to Ezio who kinda likes to show off

They’re both pretty tied to Ezio either way and I think them interacting would be super fun !

Also I’m sticking to 邵君 as my preferred interpretation for her name variation
