[dreamyourselfxbackagain]

Look who just woke up- is that HENRY CAVIL? No, I must have been mistaken, that’s EDWARD KENNWAY from ASSASSINS CREED. I heard they are 42 and stuck here just like everyone else. Even in the 20’s, he still gives off a DRINKING BEFORE BREAKFAST, HAUNTED BY THE GHOSTS OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY, WANTING TO BELONG TO SOMETHING BIGGER THAN HIMSELF, STOP AT NOTHING TO IMPROVE THE WORLD FOR HIS FAMILY, LONGING FOR THE SEA impression. But here, they are working as a DOCK WORKER. They’re known to be quite BRAVE & DEDICATED, but have a tendency to be BLUNT & RECKLESS on their bad days.

Gender/Pronouns : Male / he/him

How long have they been in Sydney : In his memories, 6 years. In reality, 2 months

Which suburb do they live in? Darling Point

Personality description : Edward is the same with everyone. He's pretty blunt, and says what he thinks, not caring too much for the reaction. He has a strong belief in what the Assassins fought for. Although he does care deeply for people, he doesn't always let them in, having lost too many people in his life already. Ultimately he does have a good heart, but it is buried deep. One thing that is definitely evident is how much he loves his children, and tries to do the right thing by them.

Memories of their real life : 

Over a hundred years after the death of Ezio Auditore da Firenze, one of the most famous assassins in the creed, Edward Kenway was born in Swansea, with no knowledge of any of his ancestors past. He was seventeen the first time he got married, to Caroline Scott. Their marriage was rough, and by the time he left to become a privateer, they were already estranged.

His life as a privateer was short-lived as a treaty was soon signed that meant they were no longer needed. Still chasing money, he became a pirate. It was a choice that would eventually lead him to be washed up with Duncan Walpole. Edward killed him, and took his identity, travelling to Havana and becoming involved with Walpole's plot to help the Templar's find the Observatory.

However Edward's identity was discovered, and the Templar's planned to send him to the London Templar's to be dealt with. Edward met Adéwalé, a slave on the same ship, and the two of them escaped together. They stole a ship, naming it Jackdaw with Edward as Captain and Adéwalé as Quartermaster.

He came onto the Great Inagua, killing the owner who was a Templar. Realising this would be a good place to call home, he kept the island for himself.

Eventually James Kidd introduced him to the Assassins. Years passed, with Edward caught between the war between the Assassins and the Templar's, and the pirate war against those trying to control them. All the while, Edward wanted to find the Observatory, believing there to be fame and glory for him there. However one by one, the friends he had made were killed by the British and Spanish.

Finally he found the Observatory, and learnt that when blood was put into it, you were able to see what that person could see. He finally realised with this, the Templars could control all Governments. He was then handed over to the British, the only reason he wasn't executed was because he knew the location of the Observatory, though he would not give it away. The Assassins went to rescue Mary and Anne, however helped him as well. Although he and Anne got away, Mary died in the attempt, making him promise to be better than he had been.

Adéwalé returned the Jackdaw to him, and Edward officially joined the Assassins. However Adéwalé decided to remain with them, and so Anne became is Quartermaster. After a long search they were able to finally kill the Templar Grand Master, and seal the observatory off.

Edward planned to return to England, to try and make things right with Caroline, when he learnt she had died two years before. However she had also been pregnant when he left, and he learnt he had a daughter, Jennifer. He gifted the Assassins the Great Inagua, but left for England.

After receiving a pardon, he eventually met and married his second wife Tessa. They would go onto have a son, Haytham. Though he kept his past a secret from both his children, he was teaching his son to become an assassin.

One night, he'd not been feeling well. That was then intruders broke in, kidnapping Jennifer. He then realised that he had been drugged. Making sure Tessa and Haytham were safe, he went to try and find his daughter, but was attacked by two of the intruders. Even drugged, he put up a fight, but eventually was killed.

What was their fake life like:

Edward was born in Swansea, and always wanted for better things. His family were pretty well off, but still he craved fame and glory. Eventually he married rich, living a fairly normal life for the time and having children.

But the war broke out, and he was forced to fight in it. He joined the navy, feeling a connection to the sea, though why he had never really figured out. It was a long war, and he saw a lot of hid friends die. When he did finally return home, the happiness was short lived, as his wife passed away in childbirth.

With the inheritance from his wife, he didn't really ever need to work again, but that wasn't the person he was anymore. Instead getting a job at the dock, if only because it was the closest thing he could get to being at sea. He remembers everything.

Optional, please pick at least three and interpret them however you wish ::

Location they work in: Docks

Quote: For years I've been rushing around, taking whatever I fancied, not giving a tinker's curse for those I hurt. Yet here I am… with riches and reputation, feeling no wiser than when I left home. And when I turn around, and look at the course I've run… there's not a man or woman that I love left standing beside me

Wanted Connections: FWB/one night stands Co-workers Friends Ex-military connections

"I can see dead people." He mentions with a shrug, using the chopsticks to fish more noodles into his mouth.

Dick stares at him. "Huh."

"Is that why you help?" He asks, getting more spring rolls.

"Yeah. Once someone becomes a ghost, word gets out quick, and they come to me. Always tatling about unfairness and justice." The kid waves the words around, rolling his eyes.

Dick just pretens to he uninterested, despite his mind racing at the new info. He is piecing past moments together, every shadow leaping away, every note with tips, leads and—

Huh.

"Do you... like it? Doing all that?" Richard approaches thus carefully, brows furrowed at the kid opposite of him.

Danny moves his head, giving a 'so-so' answer. "It's not much to like, I can see ghosts, and they know it and use it. If it brings them to peace or whatever– well, that's just a plus."

Dick stares. He places his chopsticks down and looks at Danny worried.

In turn, the kid sighs. "Sometimes gifts become curses the longer you have it."

And Dick understands.

Mind made up, he throws a pair of keys at the kid, watching fondly as the other catches them with confusion.

"Next time use these, instead of entering through the window."

Danny mock-salutes with a shit eating grin. "Yes, Officer grayson."

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.

except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?

at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.

except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.

about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.

he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.

Hiii!! Ufff I don't know how to tell you that I love your take on Floyd. like some bad bad life decisions were taken (THAT SO!!! INTERESTING FOR HIM). Do you think he ever feels ashamed of himself when he looks at Branch's eyes, like "shit, this guy really believes in me" or "he doesn't even know everything I have done"? Like he has some really BIG "Love me Less by Max" vibes

They all really believe in his goodness which is worse

And OH he definitely feels so much shame and regret. I think a big part of why he fell as hard as he did was because he finally didn't have to be his brothers' mediator, and I guess at one point he forgot that he still needed to be the voice of reason for himself. His new band mates encouraging his reckless behavior didn't help. Honestly I personally think young Floyd was a very naive kid and very dependent on his older brothers but his strong empathy gave them all the impression that he was much more mature and independent than he really was...

So yeah... you can imagine that constantly partying, doing drugs and sleeping around wears someone down after a few years. I think Floyd also went gray like Branch (not for as long tho) and he broke up with the band wanting to go home badly, but he was also ashamed of showing his face after a number of years as a gray drug addict, so he kind of just ended up alone...

If we're sharing songs, I have to show you this one by Linkin Park because I think Floyd wrote it for Branch (and the rest of his family (and some parts also addressing himself)) while he was at that desperate and lonely period because I am also extremely emo

BotW/TotK/AoC Zelda's relationship with divinity and religion is such a dynamic. She is literally the reincarnated human form of one of their goddesses, and blessed with the power of another. And she's sitting there, praying desperately to herself and wondering why no one is answering. Praying to the other three goddesses and wondering why all they do is look at her expectantly. Of course Hylia aids and answers Link, she has loved him since he was the First Hero. But in this lifetime instead of unlocking and mastering her powers with ease, she spends literally an entire decade screaming at herself "Why don't you love me?!?!" expecting an answer from the outside, and growing increasingly frustrated with herself for this fact, and then getting mad at her boyfriend because "Why do I love you more than I love me!?!?" (While he stands there with hearteyes, wondering how she doesn't realize she's the greatest being in their universe and literally worshiping the ground she walks on)

And then, even after she unlocks her power, their history is so mythologized that she doesn't realize that the goddess she's still mad at, who makes her feel like such a failure, is literally herself.

Red Robin Writing Prompt

Tim only told Jason that Jason had been cleaning up Gotham the ‘easy way’ is because Tim knows for a fact how easy killing is. He had his first kill before he was even 7 years old.

No one realizes this until Joker makes Tim “choose” between shooting one of two batfam members and Tim just picks up the gun without hesitation and shoots the Joker in just the right spot for it to be fatal but for it to not be an instant death.

Tim turns to Jason, “Like I said: Easy way out.”

[scintillatingshortgirl19]

i'm struggling to even put into words how i feel about these two scenes.

i honestly wonder how much of house's facial expressions in these moments were hugh laurie's choice and maybe weren't necessarily scripted, because the episode doesn't really offer any kind of conclusion on how jealous and, more importantly, how deeply fucking sad house looks after realizing wilson has been talking to amber.

first off - this happens a lot in this show, but this is one of those huge instances of "oh, how differently this situation would look if one of these characters was a woman." if that were the case, this whole thing would really be quite simple. if house was a proper Opposite Sex Love Interest, him standing at the door hearing the proof that his unrequited crush isn't over his last girlfriend...well, that would make perfect sense. The level of hurt and jealousy house seems to feel about wilson still being in love with amber is. well. it's Something.

so anyway - house gets that genuinely hurt look at three separate points: #1 is when he realizes wilson is talking to amber (and this moment is especially fascinating bc house's main emotion should arguably be relief at the knowledge he hasn't been hallucinating...but that appears to be taking a backseat to his jealousy for a woman who isn't even alive anymore)

#2 is when wilson tells amber that he wasn't able to go for a run tonight because house is having issues. now, this speaks to the broader problem that - even though house knows wilson feeds off neediness - house is still worried about being a burden to wilson and that eventually wilson will not want him anymore.

Then #3 - when wilson says to house's face that talking to amber makes him feel better when he misses her, and house doesn't. This moment is so painful and interesting to me because house inviting wilson to confide in him feels like a pretty big step in terms of growth! So for wilson to say he'd rather talk to his dead girlfriend than house...well, judging by house's face, the remark cuts pretty deep. (disclaimer: ofc wilson is completely valid for talking to amber; it just also makes sense that house would be hurt by this, especially in the context of him already feeling like a burden and trying so hard to be a better person)

anyway idk where else to go with this . . . i just feel like the episode sort of started to delve into this issue and then never really went deep enough or concluded this aspect - hence my theory that house's level of hurt may not have been scripted and it was just hugh laurie choosing to Do That with his face.

Am I the only one who actually prefers the Araj confession from Astarion? I see so many people wax poetic about the “nice, simple plan” scene and how much better it is that I want to wax poetic a little about my favourite.

The first time I played BG3, I didn’t know anything about Astarion’s background and I thought he was a jerk. When I first ran into Araj at Moonrise, I was surprised that he wasn’t interested in biting her, but he gave his reasons and I was like, damn, okay, that sucks but I’m not gonna force him to do anything. He said no, so it’s a no. Then I moved on, and genuinely thought nothing of it.

When he hit me with the Araj confession at camp, when he explained how he felt in front of her and how easy it would have been to just grin and bear it and do as he was told, I started crying. Sometimes I struggle to even put into words the emotions it brought up — not the smallest of which was the realisation that I had had more respect for this video game character that I didn’t even like at the time than a lot of people had ever had for me, a real fucking human being.

So I love absolutely everything about that scene, from the writing to the performance to all the different ways it can play out. I know the other confession is more cute and sweet and romantic, but the Araj one held up a mirror to me and genuinely made me confront myself and change how I approach intimacy. Which is kind of an embarrassing thing to say about a video game romance scene but here I am saying it.

Because if this fucking rude ass pixel boy (affectionate) can learn to be honest about his needs and limits and have them respected, then so can I, goddamnit. And that will always be so much more profound to me than a nice, simple plan that fell apart.

Prompt 208

So Danny would feel exasperated, and probably should. But Dan is actually doing good and hasn’t even bitten anyone during this situation so that’s a win in his books. Now if the turned-into-a-four-year-old could tell him where he managed to grab this other child when he was supposed to be at the babysitter’s, that would be swell. 

Or why there is a hero who nearly broke the door down in a right panic. 

Like genuinely, he doesn’t know who was more surprised, him, or the hero who came running up half in a panic attack.
