#Assassin’s Creed: Freedom Cry

[blackflash9]

An underlying issue I see within the Assassin's Creed franchise today is this insincere distortion of history. In the past, the series boldly confronted the dark realities of our past, such as Connor's experience witnessing the displacement of his people and the horrors of slavery unfolding before him, or Adéwale's futile struggle to liberate slaves amidst a sea of suffering.

However, recent entries have taken a bizarre turn, presenting a skewed version of history. We now find ourselves in a twisted Victorian London, where inconvenient truths are brushed aside, or immersed in Viking tales that border on propaganda. Characters like Kassandra engage in activities that seem out of place, such as selling valuable weapons or participating in Olympic games without pause for historical accuracy. Even more jarring is the portrayal of women in 9th century Baghdad, depicted with anachronistic levels of freedom and agency, contrasting sharply with their constrained status in modern times.

Showed my mom some AC characters The results are... interesting...

-She thinks that everybody but Eivor is ugly (Shay looks okay)

-Liam looks russian

-Jacob looks french

-Louis-Joseph Gaultier looks like a villain

-Adéwalé looks like Morgan Freeman

-Aveline has a potato nose

-Jack Weeks has nice clothes

-Alexios looks too Greek

-Connor looks like a girl, but he could be a model

-Edward looks like a descendant of monkeys

Also, the bond between my mother and @cnmnqirl is now broken because my mom thinks that Ezio and Jacob are not good looking

What's everyone's favourite assassin's creed game or dlc and is there a reason why?because i was looking at official assassin's creed rank list earlier and my favourite is down the bottom,

My favourite is rogue because I think it has one of the best story lines, through out all the assassin's creed games we see the assassin's getting away with morally wrong things and bearly ever facing consequences but in rogue we actually get to see the assassin's being faced with the consequences of there actions.

We get to see the way that Shay comes to a realization that the assassin's aren't always the good guys and that if he wants to be a true protector of the people then he must join his supposed enemy.

Not only that,Shay was treated horribly by the assassin's they made him do important missions but made him out to be to stupid to be involved in the truth.

Haytham,gist colonel munro and the rest of the Templars (excluding Charles) seemed to treat him much better.

My second favourite assassin's creed is black flag and it's freedom cry dlc

[peridot-tears]

"AC Rogue is the most underrated and shortest game." Sir, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, AC Freedom Cry.

"I have killed many men on principle, but never have I wanted one to suffer as much as you--to understand what it is to gasp and beg for your life, like the innocents you drowned."

Nothing Less | An Edwalé fanfiction

Summary : Edward and Adéwalé chat on their newly stolen ship, the Jackdaw, and head back to Nassau for a quiet night of drinking and thoughts.

Word Count : 1036

Pairing : Edward Kenway/Adéwalé

Notes : This was a cute request from a commenter from this post I did a while back. Thank you so much for requesting! I've really wanted to rewrite this scene, it turned out pretty good in my eyes :)

Adéwalé's voice rang out into the crew's ears as they scurried around the newly stolen ship.

Edward laid his hands onto the wheel of the ship as Adéwalé stepped up onto the main deck, "I've made my choice Adé. I'm calling her the Jackdaw. A sly bird I loved as a child back in Swansea." His eyes glazed over the horizon of water in front of the ship as its name rang out in Adé's ears.

"A dark little creature, no?" Edward looked at the man now, one hand still clung onto the wheel, "It didn't rub you wrong when I took this brig as mine own?" Adé chuckled as he approached the adventurous pirate, "It was a sort of rub I have learned to enjoy. Sailing among faces of such...fairness." His head tilting with some snark, implying a dark story behind the man.

Edward dipped his head down, turning away to look at the crew, "It's true. Most of these men wouldn't accept you as a Captain." Adé watched the crew as well when Edward paused, "So what fair role would compliment such...unfairness?" His tone mimicking the same as Adéwalé's. Adé paused and stepped further away from Edward to lean against the railings, "I'll be your quartermaster, nothing less."

Edward furrowed his brow, squeezing his hand to the wheel still, "Being anything more wouldn't fancy you, would it?" Adé shifted against the rails, smirking at the comment, "Experience is important I suppose." Edward turned away, regretting his odd push for flirtatious comments, "But, you seem to be a fair captain. I'll be your quartermaster aye, perhaps more, if you'll have me." Edward smiled and grasped the wheel with both hands now, "Alright. And as quartermaster, have you any immediate counsel for this tyro-captain?" Adé turned and placed his rough hands against the railings, "Rest and repast would do us good before Nassau." Edward nodded to himself as he watched Adé's movements, "Water for drinking, hunting for food and repairs." Edward mused, watching the spray of the sea, "A break from the adventures would help. Let's find somewhere to drop anchor."

Adé kept his word, the counsel he requested of Edward was fair. They rested silently in the warm night of Nassau after picking up resources and repairing certain inconsistencies on the Jackdaw.

In Edward's eyes, their choice of rest and leisure was always to be the tavern their mates flaunted and threw away all their money away at. Only for rum and women, of course. Perfect for a nice night of relaxation.

As the crew drank and sang shanties on the deck just in range of the inn, Edward and Adé reminisced on their recent adventures. The Captain swirled his shot glass in his hand as he watched the tight nit crew sing and dance on the tavern deck, "Ruffians they are, hm?" Adéwalé's voice rolled thickly off his tongue as Edward stared down at him. Adé had plopped himself into a rickety white chair with a map laying in front of him on a small round table. Edward leaned back against the inn's outer walls, tipping his head back as he finished his shot, "Aye, they are a wild lot, but useful none the less..." He paused and looked out to the sea that kissed the horizon closely, "...and crazy to the boot." Adéwalé chuckled, turning his head to gaze at Edward's face, studying its fairness and the blue eyes that nearly gleamed in the darkness, "I'd trust you to take care of the crew after their drunken adventures." Edward nodded, he'd be responsible for some of the crew getting into fights if not housed due to their troublesome addictions.

Adéwalé stood and gathered his things, approaching the inn silently, "Take care of yourself Edward." He nodded and watched Adé retract into the inn for rest. Edward wanted to sleep but couldn't shake the odd rush of wanting for alcohol, speeding up the tavern stairs before it closed out for the night. Nassau wasn't famous for closing their taverns with how many drunks would come and go for drinks and a night out. So Edward of course, drank. He drank until he couldn't feel the dizziness in his head and the slight squeeze of his armaments around his body.

He couldn't remember the feeling after that, waking up in a bent-over tree and bottles of hard liquor beneath him. Adé stood next to the man, shaking his head at the sight, "I take it you didn't fully understand my words last night?" Edward lifted off of the tree, slamming his boots onto the ground and squeezing his eyes shut as the hangover set in. He quickly stumbled, leaning onto Adé for support, almost being rejected and left on the grass until he made some sense of himself. But Adé wasn't a cruel man.

The quartermaster carried him through the crowds of people in Nassau, his front half hanging over Adé's shoulder and legs swinging behind his back. Edward fluttered his eyes open and became slightly aware of his current situation, head pounding from the blood rushing to it in his upside down position. He groaned and fiddled with his sleeves which were pulled past his elbows uncomfortably, "Don't worry Captain, the ship isn't far." Adé grasped Edward upward, his grip almost loosening when Edward's would wiggle his body in discomfort. He continued towards the Jackdaw anyway.

Adé reached the ship and, sadly, struggled to push open the Captain's cabin doors with the hungover man between one of his arms. Once he got in he gently put Edward down into the cushioned chair at his desk, ready to leave the man and retrieve the rest of the crew, with less care of course. Edward mumbled again, opening his eyes to Adéwalé hovering over him as he placed him down, "Are you leavin' me now?" Adé just smiled and shook his head as he left the drunken Captain to his quarters, turning to the doors to retrieve the rest of the crew, "I'll be back captain." And that's all he left the hungover man with, cramming his head into his arms as his headache set in further with red tinting his cheeks.

Adewale's Stealth Night Mission Capture Slave Ship Experto Crede | AC Fr...

Bullfrog Character Study and why i feel so bad for him

Did you notice that Bullfrog does not cry at all until his execution? Not when Jade died, not when Pey'j died and, to our knowledge, not while he was in jail.

When Bullfrog talked with Rayman and mentioned Pey'j's death he sounded so bitter. Yeah he probably said it to hold a mirror in front of Rayman but also i feel like at first he didn't intent to say this, that this just slipped out and he then decided to roll with it. I do not know much about Assassins Creed but i do know that he had to embody the Brotherhood's ideology of freedom, peace and equality. To my knowledge to "peace and freedom" also counts "free of vengance/hatred/bitterness" and so on because these feelings do not make you free, hence why Bullfrog tried to stop both Dolph and Pey'j from acting in vengance (allthough with Pey'j it also was so the Warden doesn't detonate the bomb). And espacially because of the survivors guilt Bullfrog thinks he has to be the perfect assassin.

However, Assassins are just people too. People are flawed and cannot follow this perfectly. And Bullfrog was incredibly bitter. Probably not just bitter too, one can just imagine what he felt. He lost everything he cared about again. He failed again. Not to mention, i doubt he ever allowed himself to grief. And i feel like feeling that horde of emotions also lead to self loathing to a degree.

Bullfrog is supposed to embody the Brotherhood's ideology, hell, the entire brotherhood considering he's, to his and our knowledge, the only one left. He's not supposed to feel everything he's feeling right now, yet he does and it eats him up. The survivors guilt forces him to perfectionism. If he can't be the perfect assassin, then what is he? To him he's failing his ancestors and brothers, his fallen comrades, the ones he's fighting for, everyone.

And despite all of that he never once allowed himself to cry.

Except when he was convinced he was going to die.

Bullfrog cried during his final words as he apologized to Dolph for failing him. And i can promise you these tears weren't just because of the apology, no, in these few tears was at least a bit of everything that happend. Because he didn't have to stay strong anymore. He thought that's it. This is where he and the brotherhood will die. And he probably felt two main emotions in that moment. Hopelessness and relief. Hopelessness for very obvious reasons i doubt i need to elaborate, but relief? He didnt have that burden anymore. He thought he was going to die so that weight he's been carrying for who-knows how long would be off his shoulders. It's a very small price, but at least it's something.

Everything i've said so far is why a certain comic by @pitafish hits so hard to me. I won't show it here because i didn't ask for permission, but basically what happend is that Bullfrog and Ramon were lying in bed and Bullfrog had a breakdown so Ramon sang to him and hugged him to soothe and comfort him.

[Edit] i just got permission to link the comic so here you go

Bullfrog let himself cry. He let himself be vulnerable. He lets himself be an individual with his own thoughts and feelings instead of an extension/personification of the brotherhood. And most impressively, he did that in front of someone else. He let someone else soothe him, hold him, take the place of comfort he himself always took for others.

And that's what makes it hit so hard.

In conclusion, Bullfrog deserves a hug, a blankie, hot chocolate, to bawl his eyes out and some well-deserved rest.
