Here is a sapphic, turn-the-straight-girl, u-haul across continents kind of tumblr love story for you all.
It all started with Assassins Creed Valhalla and creating a tumblr page to dive into my lastest hyperfixation. I was watching a twitch stream one night (which I'd never done, mind you) and started chatting through the comments with the streamer and the other 3 people watching. We decided to make a discord server to make it easier to chat.
A day or so into the chat, one particular member made a slightly off colour joke that I thought was funny and I immediately jumped on it. She was a goat farmer so I dm'ed asking about her (at the time) 29 goats. She thought I was annoying as fuck 🤣
I persevered because I knew that we'd be friends and eventually won her over with my quick wit and Australian humour (it was actually because I was nice enough to listen to her problems LOL).
Once she realised I'm actually amazing 🤭😉, we just clicked. We talked about everything under the sun including my relationship of 9 years that I thought was still going strong and her relationship that she'd been wanting out of for some time. She knew that I was untouchable in terms of a romantic interest so she let herself have the type of friend she'd always wanted - reliable and kind.
Fast forward a year later after talking every day, video chatting weekly and navigating some hard situations together, I made the 24 hr journey to the States to meet this person that had become such a close friend in person.
The moment I got into the car with her and her Mum was probably one of the most defining moments in my story. I felt like I'd known them my entire life. This wasn't some physical stranger on the opposite side of the world, this was my best friend and her Mom picking me up from the airport - it felt like we'd done it a million times.
We quickly realised that the pull between us was magnetic and we danced around a physical boyndary that we did not want to cross. I was obviously so very confused. I returned to Aus with a massive question mark over my head. It turned out that my relationship had been dying a slow and painful death for quite some time and I had needed this experience to lift my veil of denial and give me a kick in the ass. We took the time to end our relationships (both of almost 10 years) in a way we felt comfortable with and trying to do the best by our exes.
Living on opposite sides of the world mixed in with a chronic illness, a farm full of animals and our general anxiety 😅, we faced some tough decisions.
It's been 7 months since I moved to the United States.
5 months since we got married.
So here we are, best friends and wives 🧜♀️🧜♀️ (possibly mermaids in a past life if she got her way 🤣🤦♀️)
Never in a million years did I think I'd find myself in the queer community but look at this crazy curve ball life threw my way. A baby pansexual who married a woman she met on the internet. It doesn't *always* end in murder 🤣

Read the news today, I decided to translate this poem I learned in grade 5. It is called "Emily, con..." The poem was in Vietnamese. It was about Norman Morrison, a man who self-immolated in front of the pentagon in protest of the Vietnam war.
Emily, come with me When you grow up, you know the way, you won't get lost “Where are we going, Dad?” To the Potomac “What are we looking for, Dad?” Nothing dear, only the Pentagon O my child, round are your eyes O my child, gold are your strands Don’t ask me much, yeah? I'll take you out, you will be with Mom tonight Washington Twilight O poor souls Remain or lost Blazing truth! Johnson! Your crimes weigh heavy Humanity detests The yellow demon of this Earth You cannot borrow red blood Of Christ, and yellow of Buddha McNamara Where are you hiding? In the graveyard Of the pentagonal building Each corner for a continent You still hide your head In flame Like an ostrich buried in scorching sand Look! Look at me now! It’s only me with my daughter in my arms I am today And my daughter, Emily, you are forever! I stand tall With a great heart Of a hundred million people Of America To set fire to the horizon A torch Of justice. All of you, a pack of devils In whose name? You bring B-52s Napalm, mustard gas From the White House From Guam To Vietnam To assassinate peace and national freedom To incinerate hospitals and schools Kill the people who only know love Kill the children who only know school Kill the green fields of four seasons And even kill the rivers of poetry and art! In whose name? You bury our youth in coffins O our strong and beautiful men Who can turn nature into electricity and steel For the happiness of the people! In whose name? You bring us to jungles Spiked pits, swamps of resistance Villages turn hidden fortresses Night and days, heaven moves and Earth shakes… O Vietnam, how strange are you Children become heroes Wild bees become warriors Flowers and fruit become weapons! Die, die All of you, a pack of devils Listen! My fellow Americans! To the voices of pain, of eternal hatred Of a son. Of a person of the century Emily, my dear! It’s getting dark… I cannot take you home anymore When the flame ignites Mom will come find you tonight You will hug and kiss her For me And tell her: “Dad went in peace, please don’t cry.” Washington Twilight O poor souls Remain or lost It’s time, my heart burns bright I set myself alight The blazing truth.

"Assassin's Creed Valhalla now has 44 percent more players life-to-date than Assassin's Creed Origins and 19 percent more than Assassin's Creed Odyssey on a comparable basis, with materially higher revenue per player, leading to life-to-date net bookings up respectively +82 percent and +61 percent,” Ubisoft said.
https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/16/23725583/ubisoft-assassins-creed-investing
Remember when Reddit was awash with fanboys saying Mirage was a win for going back to its roots and I laughed and said they used word salad to dilute the fact Mirage WAS NOWHERE NEAR Valhalla levels (and why would it be? It's a Valhalla DLC that should have stayed one and the narrative director intentionally tried to turn it into a fanboy nostalgia game with subpar writing, recycled mechanics, and extremely linear and short gameplay that left everyone feeling short-changed)?
"Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which was said to be on par with past successful launches such as Assassin’s Creed Origins and Odyssey currently stands at 5 million players (estimated $250m in revenue)."
https://insider-gaming.com/inside-ubisoft-from-low-morale-to-internal-tensions/
So first of all, I doubt that is better than Odyssey or even in line. I'm not even sure that is in line with Origins. Second, Valhalla had 20 MILLION players as of what, 2021? Revenue of what, a billion, by the end of 2021?
Maybe one day you'll all realize the trilogy was massively successful, and popular....fanboys, you've got to stop hating everything that's new because you think your nostalgia games are just, objectively, better.
Black Flag getting a remake before AC1 says a LOT about the reality of AC as a franchise. You know, the one you all called "pirate creed" and now pretend you loved it all this time.
Kind of like how you pretend you love Unity and Syndicate and you hated them into oblivion.
And Ubisoft, maybe the actual appeal of Valhalla was Eivor and not Basim. In fact, a lot of us hated him. You'll could have even gone the Hytham route and it would have been more appealing to Valhalla fans as a whole.
Another example ☝️
I love this bullshit from journalists. Mirage falls off the table and they try and save it with "well it is more liked by the community than Valhalla" UH, NO. Get off Reddit and look at actual data. The community is not just the fanboys who are chronically online complaining about the trilogy. Gaming journalists need better, more informed takes than this.
