a friend and i had this silly idea for a buzzfeed unsolved/assassin's creed crossover so i had to draw the beloved, non believing Jacob Frye as the iconic meme dkfnhdkjgh

[jinaprivat]

First ac drawing in months 😅

I was out of ideas and I'm always insecure when making ac fanarts. I always feel like my style doesn't fit the ac vibes.

I like this one tho, I always wanted to see more of Maria in ac1, especially her life among the assassins as an ex templar.

Deranged Assassin's creed preference: Who's more likely to smoke the devil's lettuce 18+

Eivor: We already know they like to get freaky with those shaman concoctions, so why not? They're that kinda person who wouldn't flaunt it but is super chill about it too.

Alexios/Kassandra: I refuse to believe they wouldn't when the whole Greek world is doing worse.

Bayek: Hell no. Not only will he lecture you about it, but he would also rat you out for your own good and be proud of doing the right thing.

Altair: Would absolutely never admit to it openly. Legend has it that he would smoke your pot and rat you out to not leave loose ends.

Ezio: Has the best shi

Connor: Would never, but doesn't mind if you do it around him. He's chill like that.

Haytham: The plug

Edward: The type to bond with absolute strangers over it. By the end they're besties.

Shay: Completely oblivious to its existence.

Arno: The type to post Bob Marley pics and stuff after one (1) sniff of it. Makes it a huge deal and acts mad suspicious, especially in public.

Jacob: The type to do it in front of Freddie

Evie: Never in a million years. Get ready for a thrashing if she finds it on you or Jacob.

Basim: Too good for that shi

Spoilers, I guess, for the Desmond Miles story/games?? Idk they're games that've been out for years, but I thought it was only polite. If you don't care, then the rest is under the cut. I just need to get my love for and thoughts on Desmond out of my system.

~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~

The thing I find most tragic about Desmond miles as a character is the fact that even though the assasins preach freedom, Desmond was never given the freedom of choice until the very end and even then it wasn't a real choice.

We don't know much about Desmond's time at the farm when he was growing up, but it's insinuated multiple times that he was hit by Bill, or that he had been abused in some way.

He grew up in a place where he wasn't given a choice in whether or not he wanted to be an assassin. That in itself breaks one of the core values of their creed, which is that they fight on the side of freedom. And one could, and should, in my opinion, argue that the freedom of choice is one of the most important rights someone can have. The freedom to choose to fight for something is fundamental to what the creed is all about.

Then, he finally is able to make a choice on his own when he runs away from the farm. He thinks everything they've told him is a lie, that templars aren't real, and there's nothing to worry about. He finally makes a choice, yes, but it was one that was predetermined from the very start. The isu knew he would do it. They calculated it and set up dominos to knock over when the time was right, down to the millisecond.

Desmond Miles was very much set up to die, much like a lamb raised for slaughter. He ran away to see the rest of the world and only got to see that world for 9 years. He was always destined to be caught by the templars, fall in love with and get betrayed by Lucy, he was always meant to die.

His entire personality was also manufactured if one would like to argue that. The isu made sure that the steps leading up to his demise were calculated to perfection (with the exception of Juno, who even with little wiggle room was able to manipulate conner). Desmond's entire personality-- his humor, his attitude towards life, and his roll over stance to his mistreatment.

By giving him the childhood he had and then running away, he was hardened and had been instilled with the creeds' principles and then was exposed to the rest of humanity. He probably always had compassion and kindness for people, and that part of himself was probably increased when working as a bar tender because bar tenders see the world at their best and their worst, and he himself after having fought for his place in the world knows how resilient humans can be.

He was given an impossible choice that wasn't much choice at all, seeing as there was never supposed to *be* a choice at all. The only reason there was a "choice" was because of Juno. Minerva originally only set up the eye to be the only choice, leading Desmond to his willing-but-unwilling sacrifice, but Juno threw a wrench in the plan.

Not only was he given the most impossible choice ever, but he made the one everyone was expecting him to because in his eyes, what else was he supposed to do? Let most of humanity, which consisted of 7 billion people at the time, die? Because what, a megalomaniac false god thought she could reenslave humanity after she's long since passed?

Even more tragic is that he was arguably tortured before his death as well. He had to watch his ancestors go through horrors and conspiracy. He had to go into the animus and feel what they felt, whether it be injuries or emotions.

He felt the stab wound Altair got, and the betrayal Altair felt as his father figure was revealed to be a Templar in disguise. He felt all the injuries Ezio sustained and felt the horror and shock and betrayal and grief that Ezio felt watching half his family die. He felt the inner turmoil of Conner as he was thrust into a world that hates people like him and had to suffer the pain of knowing he'd have to kill his father AND he lost Achilles, who was a father figure to him.

Desmond was forced to live three lifetimes, and while doing so, he lost control of his own life. He suffered from the bleeding effect, he lost all sense of time, he suffered ridicule by people who were supposed to be his comrades. He suffered further under the harshness of his father.

And he was never given a choice, and neither were any of the others up until the point of his death, which is what to me makes his character so tragic and appealing. The entire timeline could have shifted, had he made different choices or his personality was just a tiny bit different.

This aspect is also why I think that his death is so underwhelming in terms of satisfaction. Maybe that was the point, though. His death, maybe, was supposed to feel anticlimactic and unjust. Maybe the ending was supposed to, instead of feel like a real ending with a good conclusion, was more so meant to emphasize he never had a choice to begin with.

Anyway, I just think Desmond is neat. Have this:

art history nerd here! when the notre dame burned a few years ago, the most damaged area was the roof. y'know who has a very extensive 3D model of the roof? ubisoft, for assassin's creed! ubisoft has been very involved in the restoration of the notre dame, pledging over half a million euros in support. so yep, that is most likely an assassin's creed dude carrying the olympic torch!

hi i made designs for fem! shaytham cuz i love women (sorry if it’s historically inaccurate i made the outfits purely based on vibes 👍)

haytham’s outfit

the hat was inspired by rococo style feathered straw hats (think that one portrait of marie antoinette)

was supposed to keep her original tricorn hat but it didn’t quite match the look i was going for (it lacked the flamboyance haytham exudes LMAO)

made her cape shorter to emphasize her dress

made her hairstyle similar to jenny’s as well

shay’s outfit

gave her a low bun just cuz

boob window 😁

removed the sash around her waist and added small pouches to her belt

gave her a face veil instead of a gas mask
