the way that ratonhnhaké:ton keeps working with haytham even though he doesn't agree with how haytham does almost anything, and even though haytham calls him a naive child at every opportunity. the way he doesn't shrug off haytham's hand on his shoulder like he does with anyone else he's not close to. the way he spent the last eight years focused on destroying the templar leaders, including grand master haytham, and then hopes there's a way to unite the assassins and the templars. the way achilles instantly knows this hope comes from meeting haytham. the way ratonhnhaké:ton only stops working with haytham when he finds out haytham was keeping things from him about the burning of his village and his mother's death. the way he said "oppose me and i will kill you" and still thought that with lee out of the way there may be some way to reconcile with haytham. the way he wanted to spare haytham until the end, but haytham gave him no choice. do you see what i'm saying

“How are you not suffering constant sensory overload,” marvels yet another childless friend.
“Probably by suffering constant sensory overload,” I say, while kid two bellows down the hall at kid three, who is shrieking from his father’s shoulders, none of which has interrupted the last kid’s two hour monologue on their latest fic idea. All three kids have climbed on and over me at least once in the last five minutes. None of them remember they are all basically the same size as me. I’m holding a kid up on my legs like an airplane while also keeping an ear on the increasingly concerning conversation our spouses are having on all the ways the US military has fucked them both up.
“What,” says childless friend, who also brought two dogs into this equation. Both dogs keep trying to herd kids. The cat is released from its safe haven. It’s hard to tell because it’s already insane. Childless friend attempts to wrangle overexcited dogs by yelling. I pick up the cat and tuck her away. There are two dogs and two kids climbing my legs.
“Is now a good time to tell you it was so much worse when I had three toddlers and not three essentially teenagers? They’re quiet and calm in comparison.”
A different, also childlessfriend barks for reasons I still don’t know, which sets off both dogs and all three kids. There is so much howling. “Mom, make everyone come outside so I can show them how many backflips I can do in a row.”
“Kid, it’s pouring. No one is going outside right now.”
Kid melts into a sad puddle.
Childless friend is still blinking at me.
“I day dream about that room where all you can hear is your own heartbeat,” I say, just to watch her crumble a little more. “It sounds like a nice room.”

oh yes you were at court! i forgot that was at the start of that post lmao. i've been to court twice when i was super young for drinking underage and then smoking lool it was so boring and long and shit but thankfully you were just there for moral support, i hope it wasen't such a bad thing your friend had to deal with! I remember seeing you post about moving but i forget if it was TO or AWAY from your parents but that clears it up. I totally get you on that though, i'm living at home right now and i feel kind of similar about not feeling comfortable in your own home. Its a bit different for me, but similar enough. Hell my stepdad even sleeps in the living room too! hes always done that so ive always felt like i had to be on eggshells when night time hit. I used to sneak smoking in the backyard back in the day myself, i got caught once when i was in highschool he made me throw all my pieces out which sucked big time. ahhh i love that, art! you should totally show more stuff on here too, at least if you're comfortable and its not stuff you'd wanna sell, i would absolutely love to see any of it 🖤i've dabbled in writing poems and things i planned to make songs, although only recently. I've always wanted to be a musician but my attempts at learning guitar over the years have never ended up lasting long and i try to learn singing but i just dont really think i can. plus i was always afraid of self expression so i never wrote until a few years ago. i still do, because music is so important to me (which is why i did pick 🎤!) and it makes me so happy but yeah. i have 2 shows im headed to in a few months even so im so excited 🥰my day though has been so boring, i mostly played video games and watched youtube videos. watched another episode of a show i've been watching called Silo, which i absolutely love. im so surprised you had room in your tags still after myself lmao, but i do that same thing i always talk in the tags! also i'm giving you tons of hugs and kisses 😘🥰
