On a matter of better parents - and the quote from one of fics I've read that basically implied William (possibly even yours?) should better be prepared to answer to Altair Ibn La-Ahad about his treatment if Desmond in afterlife... Imagine William passing on and really having to face all the past assassin's who may or may not have been semi aware of Desmond coasting along, and certainly were returning favor by watching his life now
We going to assume everyone who has died is in the same afterlife and not in, you know, whatever Isu bs Alexios/Kassandra went through in Elysium/Underworld/etc
By the time Bill died, Desmond would technically be dead long enough to be buddy-buddy with the rest of the dead populace of the AC franchise so... it's not just gonna be the Assassins who want to 'talk' to Bill.
My idea is that you will see Bill sitting on his heels/legs which is commonly called seiza like this:
But without the mat. The thing about this type of sitting is that it takes lots of practice to keep sitting like this for hours without feeling any pain or discomfort so it's a kind of torture for those unfamiliar with it.
So he's sitting like that and someone has placed a sign on his chest that says "Fucked up my son really badly, come yell at me" like one of those bad pet photos.
Then you'll see two long lines of people just waiting to have a go at him. The lines are so long that people are holding up signs that say "line ends here" and "priority line for ASSASSINS ONLY" then a smaller sign that is duct taped to it that says "except if you have a valid id that confirms your blood relation with William or Desmond Miles"
The lines are so long and the afterlife is... well, time is meaningless in the afterlife anyway, so everyone is just lining up and some are still walking towards the end of the line (and maybe some have already had a go but are lining up again). The loudest voice that could be heard is Claudia Auditore shouting on a megaphone
AN HOUR PER PERSON ONLY UNLESS YOU HAVE COUPONS! ALL COUPON HOLDERS MUST BE CHECKED HERE FIRST! MAXIMUM OF 3 COUPONS PER SESSION ONLY! IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN 3 COUPONS-
Claudia takes the time to glare at Altaïr, Ezio, and Connor who are actually in the normal line. Altaïr is glaring back at her, Ezio is looking at his sister with puppy dog eyes that don't work on Claudia at all and Connor looks so embarrassed being part of the shenanigans that Altaïr and Ezio had done earlier in Desmond's 'honor'. She aims the megaphone directly at them.
YOU CAN ONLY USE 3 COUPONS AT A TIME AND MUST REJOIN THE LINE! YOU CANNOT JOIN THE PRIORITY LINE AFTER USING 20 COUPONS AND MUST JOIN THE NORMAL LINE! WE DO NOT ACCEPT 100 COUPONS FOR A SINGLE SESSION! I REPEAT. WE DO NOT ACCEPT 100 COUPONS FOR A SINGLE SESSION! A BADGE SAYING 'DESMOND'S FAVORITE' DOES NOT GRANT ANY SPECIAL TREATMENT!
"But it is official!" Ezio shouts proudly as he showed the badge pinned to his robes (the badge has a chibi drawing of Desmond doing two thumbs up and a dorky smile and, if you squint really hard, you might see a familiar signature just at the edge of the drawing) while Connor tries to hide behind the two badge-wearing dumbasses even though his height and build makes that impossible. His own badge shines even as he hides behind the two.
And then Layla takes the megaphone from Claudia and aims it at the lines themselves
DUE TO DESMOND MILES' GENETIC MAKEUP, THE RATIO OF PRIORITY LINE TO NORMAL LINE WILL BE 3 TO 1! THANK YOU!
Just as Layla returns the megaphone to Claudia, someone from the very end of the line that sounds a hella lot like Rodrigo Borgia shouts "What does that even mean?!"
Claudia just places the megaphone by Layla's face as Layla shouts
IT MEANS 3 PEOPLE FROM THE PRIORITY LINE CAN HAVE A GO AT HIM THEN 1 PERSON FROM THE NORMAL LINE CAN GO NEXT THEN WE GO BACK TO THE PRIORITY LINE!
There's a bit of noise going everywhere and Layla groans as she shouts
JUST, EVERYONE LISTEN TO MALIK AND BAYEK'S INSTRUCTIONS WHEN YOU GET TO THE FRONT!
"Bayek's in the priority line!" Somebody that sounds like Taharqa shouts in the middle of the normal line.
Layla turns to look at the priority line and, yeah, Bayek is there, waving three coupons at her with a smile on his face so she grabs the megaphone from Claudia and shouts in his direction.
YOU ALREADY HAD YOUR SESSION, BAYEK! IF YOU HAVE MORE COUPONS-
Layla turns to Claudia and whispers, "How many coupons has he already used?"
Claudia shows her thirty-three coupons that say "This is a Desmond Miles approved coupon to shout at my father for an hour. signed, Desmond Miles" with a chibi drawing of desmond doing the "(ノ≧ڡ≦) Teehee~!" expression (and a small signature of Leonardo da Vinci by the picture) and had been hastily (and angrily) written over with BAYEK at each one in Claudia's handwriting. All thirty-three of those coupons have already been noted with the word 'DONE' on them as well. Layla rolls her eyes and turns back to Bayek
JOIN THE NORMAL LINE, BAYEK! PRIORITY LINE IS ONLY FOR ASSASSINS WHO HASN'T HAD A SESSION YET AND HAVEN'T USED UP 20 COUPONS YET!
There's a clearing of throat and Claudia elbows Layla hard. Seeing Maria Auditore raise an eyebrow at her as she stood at the priority line. Layla sheepishly used the megaphone to add
AND ANYONE WHO CAN SUBMIT A VALID ID THAT CAN CONFIRM THEY HAVE BLOOD RELATIONS WITH WILLIAM OR DESMOND MILES. THANK YOU.
Layla runs back to where Bill is and hopes Malik is holding down the fort now that Bayek has rejoined the line.
So Claudia is repeating the same instructions, sometimes adding in the following:
ANYONE NOT FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND GIVING US AN EXCUSE OF 'EVERYTHING IS PERMITTED' WILL BE BANNED FROM JOINING THE LINE FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
CLAY KACZMAREK IS BANNED FOR THE NEXT 45 HOURS FOR NOT FOLLOWING THE 1 HOUR PER SESSION RULE AND MAKING HIS OWN CLAY COUPONS. WE DO NOT ACCEPT CLAY COUPONS! I REPEAT WE DO NOT ACCEPT CLAY COUPONS.
WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF ADDING MORE EVENTS WITH WILLIAM MILES. AT THE MOMENT, THIS EVENT IS SPECIFICALLY FOR HIS TREATMENT OF HIS OWN SON, DESMOND MILES. EVENTS FOR OTHER PEOPLE OR OTHER GRIEVANCES ARE CURRENTLY BEING PLANNED AND WE WILL ANNOUNCE OTHER EVENTS WHEN IT'S READY. IF YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO YOUR OWN EVENT, PLEASE TALK TO RANDVI AT THE INFORMATION DESK. THANK YOU!
ANYONE CAUGHT SMUGGLING ANY OF THESE BANNED PEOPLE INTO THE LINE WILL BE BANNED FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS WELL.
99 HOURS REMAINING: EDWARD JAMES KENWAY, ALEXIOS AND KASSANDRA OF SPARTA, AND EIVOR VARINSDOTTIR FOR ATTEMPTED ASSAULT WHILE DRUNK.
70 HOURS REMAINING: MARIA THORPE IBN-LA'AHAD FOR POSSESSION OF FIREARMS AND INTENT TO USE FIREARMS.
67 HOURS REMAINING: CHARLES LEE AND OTHER COLONIAL RITES TEMPLARS, INCLUDING SHAY CORMAC, FOR INSTIGATING THE 'HAYTHAM KENWAY IS BEST DAD' MOVEMENT.
52 HOURS REMAINING: JACOB FRYE FOR SMUGGLING DESMOND THE DOG INTO THE LINE AND ORDERING SAID DOG TO BITE WILLIAM MILES' PENI-
"Excuse me."
Claudia looks down from the box podium that she had been given to stand on.
"I was kicked out of the priority line-"
Claudia aims the megaphone directly at him
PRIORITY LINE IS FOR ASSASSINS AND ANYONE WHO CAN SUBMIT A VALID ID THAT CAN CONFIRM THEY HAVE BLOOD RELATIONS WITH WILLIAM OR DESMOND MILES ONLY. PLEASE GO TO THE NORMAL LINE.
"But I'm an Assassin."
Claudia stares at him for a moment before grumbling under her breath "the nerves of some people..."
She aims the megaphone where Malik is stationed as he's keeping a timer to make sure no one goes over the one-hour limit (unless with coupons) and says
MALIK, ARE WE COUNTING AL MUALIM AS AN ASSASSIN OR A TEMPLAR?
A loud chorus of angry and irritated shouts rang all over the two lines and you can barely hear someone that sounds oddly like Robert de Sablé shout "Put him next to William Miles!"
"He betrayed the Brotherhood! Normal line for him!" Malik shouts and it's almost hard to hear him because of how long the distance between them is and the other angry shouts.
Claudia turns her megaphone back to the old man and says.
YOUR BETRAYAL HAS INVALIDATED YOUR ASSASSIN STATUS. NORMAL LINE!
==== Meanwhile ====
Desmond is just signing more and more coupons while Leonardo and Sofia are printing more and more coupons using the fastest printer that Leonardo himself made together with Alexander Graham Bell. All coupons are being delivered by Darim and Sef Ibn-La'Ahad, Flavia and Marcello Auditore, and Io:nhiòte and her two other siblings. Coupons are free to order but priorities are given to anyone with Ibn-La'Ahad, Auditore, and Kenway bloodlines.
Shouts of "NEPOTISM!" are ignored.
Shouts of "FAVORITISM!" are answered with "Hell yeah, we are!" without any shame.

I don't know why but I've slowly kind of returned to my demon Slayer faze(mostly my tanjiro simping faze) and I suddenly got a great idea, a great yandere idea.
What if the reader was alive during the time of yoriichi and got their entire family killed by muzan right in front of them. For whatever reason he kept you alive.
Eventually you became a demon Slayer and got to meet yoriichi, becoming close because of your hatred of demons.
When you and yoriichi came across muzan you saw this as your chance to kill him and helped yoriichi.
See the reader is a little reckless and doesn't care what they have to do to get what they want, you know yoriichi has a much better chance at defeating muzan so you do everything to protect him.
Even if that means getting pierced in the stomach.
So you died in yoriichi's arms, while Tamayo screams out how freaking close the two of you were too defeating muzan.
In the afterlife you are immediately offered a spot in heaven but instead you go straight to hell where you demand a meeting with the devil himself.
You made a deal with the devil that if he keeps reincarnating you until muzan is dead you would sell your soul to him, with a smile the devil agrees, when your not looking he adds a secret hidden aspect to your contract, where everyone you meet becomes yandere for you, don't blame him it gets very boring down in hell, it's due for some entertainment.
And that's how you reincarnate over and over again, everyone you meet becomes yandere for you, you give massive help to the demon slaying corps, secretly teaching them stuff from your time.
Eventually you get born to some random lady and get taken in by the kamados, where all of them become platonic yandere, preventing you from up and running like you usually do when your old enough.
Then on one snow cold night, when tanjiros out selling coal you finally meet the reason you sold your soul to the devil.
Muzan... At the time you were far to overtaken by rage that you didn't notice the dead bodies of your family members.
Despite being very young you still lounge at him, unknown to you he figured out about your eternal reincarnating and has been tracking you down for a long time, so instead of kill you he tried to capture you.
The moment you figured this out you hid in the forest, knowing dang well you know the forest a lot better than he does.
When he's finally gone you go look back at your house, it was then that you noticed the dead bodies.
Tanjiro coming back from his coal selling heard the sharp sounds of screams and blood.
Let's just say he was absolutely horrified to see his adopted sister screaming and his entire house covered in blood.
He managed to calm you down and the two of you took nezuko down the mountain.
Then a certain friendless man attacked. Without thinking you grabbed tanjiros axe and threw it at him, disturbing him by how speedy and accurate your throw was.
When nezuko protected you and tanjiro giyuu decided to let her live, seeing yours and tanjiros potential he quickly sent you guys to live with his old teacher.
While tanjiro had lots of difficulty you had none at all, you've done this a thousand times having used a different breath for every single one of your lives, so water breathing was easy peasy.
Skipping all the lame stuff, you meet kanao, zenitsu, inosuke, the hashiras but the most important one is you meet tamayo.
In some of your past lives you met her, she instantly recognized you and the two of you had a private chat, one thing you've never down is told her you sold your soul to the devil is because she's like a protective mother hen to you, you do not want to disappoint her.
The hashiras slowly become yandere for you, you save rengokus life, prevent uzui from retirement, help a bunch of people.
Life is good, but then after a bunch of guilt you decide to spill the beans.
At first their cool with you being reincarnated over and over again to stop muzan but when you get to the part where you sold your soul to the devil they will not be happy.
The ending is a little controversial but one thing that does happen is their planning to capture muzan, the contract won't have to follow if muzan doesn't die.
They will NOT allow your soul to go into the impure hands of the devil.
Meanwhile hell the devil is watching this with an amusing smile on his face, he really didn't care about not getting your soul, this was the greatest entertainment hes gotten in hundreds of thousands of years.
The end

i know i'm a clown and if he never comes back I'll make my peace with it in season 5 BUT
one of the biggest, most damning pieces of evidence for the wally-is-alive train is that whole interaction in the phantom zone.
if wally's dead why did he look the same as con, phantom girl, the zods, and the team, who are all alive? if he's dead then why didn't he show up in his regular colors like conner's other hallucinations?? I've heard people suggest that wally showed up in the negative filter because conner at the time believed he was dead, but he was already pretty convinced that he and phantom girl were alive by the time wally showed up
the lore we were told by the zods and by the legionnaires explains that the phantom zone acted as a prison. phantom girl explains to m'gann in "zenith and abyss" that the phantom zone is like a buffer between dimensions/space. the phantom zone is not an afterlife. it is not like zatanna's illusion. if you're dead, you don't automatically go to the phantom zone. everything we've seen with the phantom zone filters (again: conner, phantom girl, zods, the team, the monster) was ALIVE.
wally HIMSELF says that the place feels like purgatory, not a heaven or hell. and if he was just a product of conner's imagination, why didn't he behave in character like m'gann, clark, and lex? if wally was just a hallucination, he'd act more like dick's fever dream version of him, or gar's goggle hallucination. but he spoke directly about the phantom zone and used "we".
maybe the time stream, or the cosmic treadmill, or the mfd stuff, or lian's dolls, or wally never disappearing or getting disintegrated in gar's illusion, or the fact that zatanna couldn't locate wally's spirit, or even out-of-universe stuff like heromode posting about the speedforce in reference to him, and anything jason spisak has ever done in promoting this season of the show, are all red herrings and reaches
but you can pry "that wasn't zone sickness, that was actually wally" out of my colds hands bc him being a vision simply doesn't track with what we know about the phantom zone, about the people in it, and about wally
