Yeah... I think it's safe to say I'm better at drawing monsters than I am at drawing people. With people the best I can do is either stick figures or detailed stick figures. Oh well, maybe I'll get better as time goes on, or maybe this is the best I'll ever be, don't know and kinda don't mind. Though if you guys can think of criticism or tips that will help I'm aways willing to listen and am always thankful for every bit of info given.

Maybe the assassins would beat the templars for once if they stopped serving the light and started serving cunt.

It’s been a decade +1 since I’ve followed the franchise, but Assassins Creed 3 will always have a special place in my heart

(Love your art and your style so much its giving me literal brainrot <33)

Their coffee date went a little awry but they still had fun ☕

Every single time I replay assassins creed 3, I am absolutely baffled at how Bill let the words "what is the matter with you Desmond?" Escape from him mouth.

This is the same Desmond who looks like he's on the verge of collapsing 24/7 and is one inconvenience away from a breakdown. ALSO bill was getting day by day emails of Lucy begging Bill to get Desmond some help because he seemed to be getting worse. SHE KEPT HIM IN THE LOOP THE ENTIRE TIME AND HE STILL ASKED THAT QUESTION???

Like at some point, you just gotta admit that Bill is a fucking idiot. Like yeah, he's a shitty father, but you gotta be a specific flavor of STUPID to ask that kind of question.

Assassins Creed Headcanons because I can

-Despite denying it adamantly, Evie still does have a crush on Ezio Auditore (it’s not as much as when she was a girl, but it’s still there)

-the tips of Evie’s ears also blush when she’s embarrassed, Henry finds it adorable

-Jacob somehow hid the fact he got drunk when he and Evie were hunting for the Koh-i-noor

-Ezio’s banged at least one nun in his lifetime

-Connor has a habit of apologizing to people when his large stature startles them

-who among the assassins would listen to Jimmy Buffett and why is it absolutely Edward mf Kenway

-Haytham has fallen off a few roofs by sheer accident and Connor loves to remind him (much to his annoyance)

-Evie actually does have a tattoo, Henry is the only one who knows

-Jack the Ripper is a Sage, and the founder of the Instruments of the First Will (he had associates in Syndicate, remember?)

-Arno 👏 adopted 👏 Léon

-both Jacob and Evie have kids and those kids are the most chaotic cousins alive

-Shay actually hates the color green

-Shay’s middle name actually came from his grandfather (who was named Patrick), his father’s name was Killian

-everyone thinks Evie’s all elegant and graceful but Jacob’s seen her fall off many roofs (more than him, he’s been sworn to secrecy)

-everyone thinks Jacob is the evil twin, (he’s just impulsive) but it’s actually Evie (no one believes him and he wants to scream)

-modern day Altair went through an emo phase

-Arno can walk on his hands

Arno vs Shay: What Everyone Gets Wrong

The desire to see an Arno vs. Shay confrontation is a deeply misguided sentiment I've seen from the AC community. It harms both characters' integrity, individual stories, and the more prominent themes they represent. While the community may be drawn to the idea of pitting these two protagonists against each other, such a conflict would not only undermine the complexity of their narratives but also ignore the thematic significance of their character arcs—particularly the exploration of fanaticism, disillusionment, and the deconstruction of power and freedom.

First and foremost, the idea of Arno and Shay as a revenge story imposes a false and conventional binary of "hero vs. villain," which is entirely counterproductive to the nuanced storytelling that defines both Assassin’s Creed Unity and Assassin’s Creed Rogue. Arno’s journey is not one of blind loyalty to the Assassin Brotherhood or of revenge, and Shay’s defection to the Templars is not born out of a simplistic villainous turn. Both characters grapple with the fanaticism of their respective factions, and both reject extremism in their own ways. By forcing them into an artificial feud, their journeys of self-realization, moral conflict, regression, and growth are reduced to a superficial conflict that entirely misses the point of their arcs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thematic Dissonance and the Core Conflict of Unity & Rogue

The crux of Arno's story in Unity is deconstructing the Creed’s maxim about power and freedom. The backdrop of the French Revolution amplifies this, where ideals of liberty and justice quickly devolve into cycles of oppression. Arno’s journey is about recognizing the dangers of fanaticism and blind idealism—whether from the Assassins, the Templars, or the revolutionary factions around him. He witnesses firsthand how fervent belief in freedom or power can turn people into fanatics, like Germain, Pierre, or even Elise, whose personal quest for revenge becomes all-consuming.

Shay’s story in Rogue is also rooted in his rejection of fanaticism, precisely the Assassins' relentless pursuit of Pieces of Eden, which leads to unnecessary death and destruction. His disillusionment stems from seeing how the Assassins’ blind commitment to their ideals can create chaos, driving him to defect to the Templars. Shay believes that joining them can help maintain order and prevent further devastation.

However, Shay’s act of killing Charles Dorian, which devastates Arno’s life, reveals his lack of personal growth. The very thing that led him to abandon the Assassins— perceiving their willingness to use him as a pawn to destroy innocent lives in Lisbon—is mirrored in his allegiance to the Templars. He’s become what he once despised by serving their goals, blindly causing destruction in their name. In the end, Shay has simply traded one form of fanaticism for another, finding himself back where he started, trapped in the same cycle he once sought to escape that subconsciously regrets and knows he can't escape.

The thematic depth of their stories collapses by reducing these characters to a meaningless confrontation. Arno’s story in Unity is about rejecting fanaticism and finding balance, learning to break free from the destructive cycles of vengeance and self-blame that consume those around him. Arno’s ultimate lesson is to move forward, not be trapped by the past—a lesson he embodies when he fixes his father’s broken watch, symbolizing his commitment to embracing a new, forward-looking path. This is the culmination of his arc: not revenge, not loyalty to a flawed creed, but the personal growth that comes from rejecting extremism in all its forms.

For Shay, who believes the Assassins are too fanatical and destructive, a direct conflict with Arno would only reinforce the false dichotomy between Assassin and Templar rather than acknowledging the nuanced reasons behind his choices. Shay is not a villain; he’s a broken man whose attempts to prevent more destruction result in him becoming manipulated for it due to being trapped in his past and unable to move forward. What Everyone Gets Wrong:

Ultimately, Shay and Arno's journeys reflect two sides of the same battle with fanaticism, yet their fates diverge dramatically from the Assassin’s Creed itself. Arno ultimately embodies the true spirit of the Creed, learning the dangers of rigid ideology and choosing his own path, rising above the tempting cycle of vengeance and destruction. Shay, on the other hand, fails to live by the Creed’s deeper wisdom. Despite rejecting the Assassins, he falls into the same trap of blind obedience, this time to the Templars, becoming a pawn in their quest for control. Where Arno succeeds in transcending, Shay remains ensnared—trapped in the fanaticism he sought to escape. There's no need for Arno to seek and "defeat" Shay. It's already happened.

[thou-babbling-brook]

it’s so funny when you play mirage because sometimes you forget Basim is supposed to be like 20 or younger and then he does some stupid shit like introduce himself with his legal name to the Templars and you remember because no Assassin with a fucking developed prefrontal cortex would do some stupid shit like that
