#Altair rambles

[froggyplanet4269]

thank you, from the bottom of my heart to weevildoing and the entire tptm fandom for this journey. As of writing this, tomorrow the last girl will come out.

Tptm has become one of my favorite albums by far, and every song and character is as fun as relatable and beautiful in so many ways.

It's a bit odd to think that we will no longer have any new album songs to expect; we have been doing so for long (or at least in my case) that it will be strange to just... have it complete.

Again, thank you so much. I love xiomara's design :D

ubisoft is really doing fuckall with their literal franchise firstborn (assassin's creed (the first game)). why the fuck is the pirated version running more stable than the official software. altaïr doesn't even have a significant figurine or a limited edition type shit. they jumped straight to the golden second child ezio and made HIM the poster child. the fuck.

A novice once more.

Putting him back in assassin's kindergarten. Happy birthday bud

You know as much as I appreciate that we are having a slight shift in the general on opinion on Rytlock from "he is a shitty selfish guy that does whatetever he wants and keeps his information to himself to be an asshole" to "Guy is trying his best but keeps having things blow up in his face"

I am a bit confused as to why we are recirculating an old post from... 7 years ago holy shit does that make me feel old. Especially since it now has an addition from a person which I think I did have blocked for good reason (if someone still has the summation post on it please let me know).

Maybe I am looking a gift horse in the mouth, I am genuinely glad to see people saying that maybe Rytlock did not intend to start a genuine apocalypse and would not willingly withold that info if he thought it was pertinent.

From what little we've seen of the mists it is a mess that does not make sense and you can never properly gauge consequence. If Balthazar was dangerous it is hilarious to me that the gods left him without any way of knowing if he might be released. They didnt realize until they were told! If anything it is just the human gods making a mess of the world as is usual (It is ironic that a Charr catches the blame for that, isn't it?)

Altaïr ibn la'ahad. Reblog if you agree

[hawtastic]

Mc and Caine doodle—He's literally so cute. I love him sosososo much, little baby.

(More below cut :)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Even though she knows Caine loves his mother Altair can't help but see him as her kid at times (however she'd never admit that aloud, especially because she doesn't want to make him feel bad). She gets extremely jealous whenever she sees him with the other Shepherds and then proceeds to feel horrible for her possessive behaviour and thoughts; he's allowed to make new friends and do his own thing he's not some little kid.

Makes me feel so bad for her - even if I was the one who gave her the trauma - ahaha.. *starts to cry

Experimental sketch :P

I love the hangout where Caine asks Mc if they can teach him how to fight—Altair doesn't hesitate to agree to the request :)

[clingyduoapologist]

See the problem is I can acknowledge that Ezio is probably a better written character than Altair and his interactions with other characters like Leonardo and Rosa are all handled fairly well but also there’s just something about Altair being such a fucking idiot that he basically has to run around the Holy Lands sulking while Malik calls him a little bitch that I don’t think any other ac protagonist has ever matched

[spindlebats]

I hate this game so much btw. I hate it. Everything SUCKS.

kills you.

[ender-the-insomniac]

Altaïr is tan(p) = 1 AU/d metres away from your location and approaching rapidly

Physicist/astronomer AC nerds, please laugh.

the machine… masturbated?😳😳😳😳

[reverieaudios]

If this question is too personal you are welcome to ignore it but, what was it like figuring out your identity and telling friends and family? I'm always interested in other's stories about that kind of thing

Nah it's fine, it was kind of a... journey? Which is pretty typical I think lol. As far as figuring out my identity, I realized I wasn't straight way before I realized the whole nonbinary thing, and I repressed the sexuality realization so well (and multiple times lol) that I actually forgot about it. Like I procrastinated my own "gay panic" moment until it was totally undeniable lmao

So yeah if you ignore the time I accidentally came out to my dad when I was like 8 I came out to my oldest sister first (and she totally already knew because I was not subtle and she had kept bringing up her friends who weren't straight like "yeah my good friend from college and his husband. With whom he is in a very loving and happy gay marriage) and then one by one I came out to my immediate family members. I got pretty lucky because they're all pretty laid back so they were pretty indifferent to it. Good indifferent though, like "cool, do you wanna play Mario kart?"

(As we got older my two closest brothers decided that we're only a trio of dudes (semi-gender neutral) though, so my younger brother has declared that if I bring a guy home he needs to fight us to the death and take the place of the loser and he seems intent on it being me who loses lmao)

Then when I figured out I wasn't cis I pretty much just repeated the process, but it came much easier because I'd already done it once. Is it bad that the music video for Tous les mêmes by Stromae was the thing that made me go "uh-oh I'm discovering things again" lol

I... don't think I've ever actually officially/formally come out to any friends? It's more like I just don't hide it and let things come up in conversation, and most of the people I'm friends with are in the lgbtq+ community anyway so they can smell it on me lol

fuck it,

LIST OF INCENSES I THINK AC 1 - AC UNITY CHARACTERS WOULD LIKE

credentials: (1) incense is a big thing in my country both for daily and religious uses; (2) i have a shit ton of incenses bc i use them regularly

ALTAÏR IBN LA'AHAD — his most familiar scent is frankincense bcs either umar or rashid lit up a lot of frankincense (haha old man incense). BUT his favorite scent is jasmine because it's sweet and calming it's like a soothing balm to his running thoughts and worries. also the scent of jasmine here has supernatural connotations, so i think it's fitting for altaïr as the master assassin herald of death etc etc

MALIK AL SAYF — oud. definitely oud. very charismatic and heavy. definitely suits him bcs as soon u enter his space u will think he's someone not to be trifled with. it also has a family/brotherly connotation to it which suits malik. if u want combination; oud + sandalwood

KADAR AL SAYF — champaca. it's sweet and bright. reminds u of a singing bird maybe? if u catch a whiff of it in the wind it feels like napping in a hazy afternoon.

MARIA THORPE — jasmine with tuberose. almost woody? floral. probably reminds you of moonlit night with silk curtains blowing in the wind

EZIO AUDITORE DA FIRENZE — sandalwood. a classic. with frankincense and myrhh. this scent reminds me of church (our churches usually light these scented incenses). it's heady and heavy. if you smell it too much it can overwhelm you.

LEONARDO DA VINCI — citrus and agarwood. very playful and has creative vibes to it. it also smells very unique and reminds me of a warm person

CONNOR KENWAY — majegau. this one is very specific. majegau is a type of tree sacred to people in bali region (i'm from java so i dont know much). but the scent is very mountainous. it reminds me slightly of sandalwood but much lighter, and gives off a more foresty vibes. it has a very respectful but down-to-earth air to it that suits connor's person

AVELINE DE GRANPRE — citrus and vanilla. i'll be honest i never had this one, but i'm trusting what people said. it's apparently very unique and refreshing scent when burnt. kind of woody surprisingly with just a hint of sweetness to it. i also think aveline would like clove incense. it's sweet and has something underneath that feels like it's ready to strike

ADÉWALÉ — also an oud enjoyer methinks. maaybe oud + frankincense. i think smelling the incense will help settle down his thoughts and pain, bcs it's a very meditative and heady scent. charismatic vibes

EDWARD KENWAY — tobacco, clove, and cinnamon. it's smoky and heady. kind of pirate vibes. it's a very overwhelming scent to some people bcs of the tobacco

HAYTHAM KENWAY — i feel like he has a very old man taste so i'm chucking lotus OR frankincense. i think he'd like both bcs they're the most "classic" incense scents. definitely charismatic tbh

SHAY CORMAC — tobacco. smoky. just a classic "smokes and mirrors". it's kinda sad? it's a very lonely scent i think

ARNO VICTOR DORIAN — vanilla with sandalwood. it's heady and sweet with woody undertone to it. it has a european vibes to it that i personally dont like to light (vanilla doesnt smell good in humid weather to me), but definitely suits arno. it's sensitive yet strong, kind of tragic

ÉLISE DE LA SERRE — rose. definitely rose. cloying, floral, and sweet. has mixed receptions; it's a classic scent but i personally dont like it. i think it suits élise for her complicated nature. flitting and impossible to mistake

fin.

Hmmmmm

Metaphor Refantazio X Re:Creators crossover could be cool

Like as someone who is slowly making their way through the game, it has those themes of both the separation and interconnection between fiction and reality. And Re:Creators is about how fictional stories inspire people in real life, and the struggles of being someone who creates their own fictional world. And other stuff but I’m not making an organized essay right now.

Basically I am listening to Layers, and remembering Meteora, Alicetaria, Selesia, and Altair because of how their aesthetics fit in with metaphor.

The Meteora(delusional design) from the mid season summary kind of makes me think of Will

Alicetaria kind of gives me vibes of both Strohl and Hulkenberg.

Altair and Louis would be problematic besties I think

[transgenderdoctorwhomst]

To me Altaïr's gender is just "Assassin" and has it/he pronouns. Unfortunately Altaïr lives in the 1100's and unless it involves murder or the apple of eden, the self perception skills of a rock

[ant1quar1an]

Altair

Disgruntled Grandpa alter guy ✨

Cough cough he's a reasonably aggressive sarcastic asshole and is very funnily fell coded-

This man will NOT be answering asks!! /silly

Those are!! Also avian-moth wings :D

[hollowedknell]

Some general thoughts about my dnd characters in the overarching world of @house-of-musez's creation. I have a tendency to give each at least one deadly sin, a core emotional thread that they cling to. It tends to be almost a fatal flaw, too.

Erebos's is wrath and pride; They cling to rage, and spite, and vitriol when they have nothing left. They do not forget, and certainly forgiveness is practically a foreign concept to them.

Altair's is closer to Acedia or apathy, which later got lumped in with sloth (if I recall correctly). He's depressed and masks with a very trickster disposition or devil-may-care attitude.

Solanine's is greed. I can't elaborate much. Her game has yet to be played, and the other players are here, but it is greed with a side of a specific kind of almost lust.

Rook (who I have not made full art for yet, another future game) clings to a sort of non sexual lust as well, somewhat, but I again cannot elaborate yet.

Marrok is arguably more so someone who holds fast to a form of almost self-destructive cowardice. Envy and apathy aren't quite right, but he's definitely somewhat jealous of people who aren't cowards and has very little spine at the start.

It wasn't entirely intentional, but it is fun to think about.
