🥂🍸New Taste🍺🍻

16th century Bartender Desmond ready to change some history of mixology, funny enough there isnt much of a bartending pre 18th century but Medici family apparently was bit into mixology :p There is a bar in italy/firenze days that used to be a house Medici family owned but thats litterally all I found… so headcanon time…

—————————————

he would probobly wear a arm lenght glove tho hide the Isu markings and maybe grow or shave a beard depending on Ezio’s current facial hair stiuation to disguise himself lol, still people who know Ezio probobly be a bit suspicious. Especially Leonardo’s frequent bar visitor “assistant”

[stealingpotatoes]

I love your art so much! I’m still lingering from your AC days and while I don’t know much about Star Wars, I eat your art up every time 🥰

omg hi!!! i remember you from my ac days too, thank you and here have some altmar for sticking around this long!!

[thou-babbling-brook]

The bank statement for the Colosseum purchase just came through

[ethan-acfan]

On the note of desmond surviving the end and having to rebuild his life after, I just wanna say that he would probably have some kind of muscle disability afterward. Because, and yes, I'm talking about this again, by ac3, they were keeping him in the animus for at least 3 days at a time, and no doubt it was probably upwards of a week towards the end. So his muscles were probably FUCKED by the end and he would def need physical thearpy and perhaps a cane/crutches (PLEASE IF ANY ARTISTS READ THIS IM BEGGING DRAW HIM WITH A CANE PLEASE PLEASE PLEA-) ahem, anyway also I feel like his mental state would also be screwed like verging on Clay's level of insanity, so do with that what you will

(PLEASE DRAW HIM WITH A LEG BRACE OR SOMETHING LITERALLY ANYTHING IM BEGGING I CANT DRAW FOR SHIT PLEASE🙏)

[teecupangel]

(sorry in advance, I've been stewing over this for so long that this will be a long one xd)

I was re-reading your fics on ao3 again (sue me, im starved for desmond time travel content) and whilst reading Eagle of Alamut's description i realised '...wait a damn minute, it is true! all of Desmond's knowledge on past is from his ancestors!' (not everyone is as big of a nerd as shaun). Cue weeks of relentless daydreaming over Desmond in Reneisance Italy trying his damnest to lay low... but: 1) he does not know what is socially acceptable at the time (clothe and behaviour wise)

2) the animus likely shielded it's users from the more... er.. unsaviory historical accuracy (child marriage, smell, violence and mistreatment towards the poor, women, disabled)

3) politics, culinary arts, medicine and money value from that era are not common knowledge (or even fully known to todays historians)

4) Ezio was not known for his subtility...

...so while desmond may know who to strike in order to protect Ezios family from getting executed, what places he may know to avoid if he wants to avoid attention from the italian brotherhood.

He does not know what he was getting himself in to when he decided to travel back in time.

I can just imagine him thinking that he can finally retire and live his life, but then BOOM here comes the shock of sociatal injustices! religious violence! inequality! horrendous mistreatment of beggars and disabled people! and as a good man raised in the 21st century he obviously can't, in his right conciousness, just turn his back on these issues, on these people.

So here he is, in Rome of all places, doing his best to atleast stay hidden from the Auditore's, and consequesntly, the Italian brotherhood's, detection, as he stalks the bright rooftops of Roma as histories (probably) very first assasin turned vigiliante!

I can just picture him at one point or another, getting mistaken for a Spanish assasin and his only attempt at 'confirming' (read: encouraging misleading rumours), is to use the very little languistic knowledge the American education system has bestowed upon him. cue him very awkwardly trying to immitate a Spanish accent/ speak in Spanish. or just, you know, say the only words every student knows, 'Feliz Navidad'.

It would be so funny if Desmond’s Spanish are based on:

1) what little remains of Ezio’s Spanish (maybe on par or even worse than his French)

2) Basic Spanish that he learned on the Farm

3) Spanish songs he heard

So people think that Desmond is eccentric.

And Rich.

Because Desmond wants to help people but he doesn’t want to be seen as an Assassin so…

He becomes a supposed rich Spanish (Arabic would have sent a red flag to the Brotherhood) noble who came to Rome to live a life away from his ‘family’.

Why is he ‘rich’?

Well, killing nobles and other ‘evil doers’ will flag the Brotherhood as well so it would be better to just…

Leave certain incriminating evidence in the doors of their enemies and let them duke it out. Hey, if some things go missing while they’re too busy with their enemies, that’s just collateral damage.

Also…

Sometimes, things go missing when some people get into accidents.

It’s easy to buy the impoverish area in Rome. It’s a bit challenging to get doctors to treat them.

Until Desmond flashed the right amount of money, of course.

Desmond manages to stay under the radar by being part of the upper echelon.

An eccentric foreigner who helps the poor and sick out of the goodness of his heart.

Or… because he apparently believes that the way to heaven is through good will and not… paying the clergy.

Desmond knows that being seen as completely good is a bad thing as well so he lets rumors spread that he’s an opportunist who heals the sick and protects the weak to receive their loyalty. He gives them salary to become his guards (not that he needs any) and people whisper how loyal the poor are to someone who gives them bread.

And to hammer in that “no, Ezio, I am absolutely not connected to the Templars BUT I’m also not going to be a good ally, just leave me alone!” plan he has, he becomes a patron of the art.

Sexually progressive art.

The church hates him but tolerates him because Desmond does ‘donate’ (jokes on them, he donates what he stole from the church) and the artists love him because he commissions stuff with the same thing over and over again “whatever you want to paint/sculpt/work on but I want the Borgia men getting fucked in the ass while Lucrezia Borgia watches”

He’s not rich enough to actually be a threat (especially after Ezio starts wrecking shit up) and he keeps to himself most of the time.

But, of course, life always has it out for Desmond and he comes face to face with a wounded recruit at the edge of his property and…

Well…

He only wanted to heal him then send him on his merry way.

He didn’t expect Ezio to come barging in thinking said recruit has been kidnapped by the eccentric ‘possibly sexual deviant’ Lord Miles.

Hopeless Wanderer playing on repeat for this one, lads

I used a few screenshots of my most recent playthrough for this, my favourite of which is this oneeeee:

The Morrigan is such a pretty ship 🧡

[fancy-strawberry-beard]

Shitty idea for an AC game's modern day segments:

You play as William Miles, and you're re-tracing the steps of Desmond's journey in order to study the various isu artefacts he came into contact with, but also to re-connect with his son.

As you do, you're confronted by the ghosts of the people Bill has fucked over the most:

Clay Kaczmarek: this one's easy, just say that Rebecca was able to [insert techno babble here] and retrieve a copy Clay's code but never meant to actually bring him back due to ethical concers (this was more of an attempt to retrieve just enough of him to give him a proper burial). Bill needs his memories, especially those concerning Desmond and Juno, so he brings him back. Somewhere in between all the verbal abuse he showers upon Bill there's also the information you need.

Lucy Stillman: either she wasn't as dead as we thought and crawled up to some sort of control panel to download her consciousness as a last ditch attempt to stay alive or the temple just does that automatically. Either way, ✨️isu bullshit✨️. She's surprisingly quiet and helpful at first but eventually starts to ask questions about the way Bill treated Clay, Daniel, Desmond... making this about anyone except for her when it is very clear that she's projecting and this is actually all about her.

Desmond Miles: the previous two encounters have given Bill an idea, though it might just be him going old and crazy...

He asks Rebecca and a bunch of other hackers to figure out what's going on with the AC3 temple and lo and behold his personality has indeed been stored in the temple. He recognizes that he should probably be angry with Bill for dragging him back into this mess but right now he's a bit too discombobulated to really feel anything.

Maybe he remembers his time as the reader or maybe this is an entirely new copy. Idk.

We end on some big reveal and the next game will have a new protagonist with Desmond as a digital companion.

[drunk-on-starlight]

I wish they'd committed to Jeanne D'Arc as an Assassin because this design? This looks very good as an knight styled Assassin.

Or this one. I love how they added the "beak" to her chainmail; makes the outfit more visually cohesive then adding a cloak would.

[1001aus]

Vague thoughts of an au I probably won't write where Abstergo just. Doesn't find Desmond.

The machine in the Grand Temple is still meant to be used by him, all of the messages left by Minerva and Juno are addressed to him, but there's some other poor bastard(s) in the animus and the assassins are just ?????? because most of them don't know who the hell Desmond is. Bill can't figure out why his runaway kid is relevant.

It gets down to the wire, a couple months before the solar flare/coronal mass ejection, when they finally find out it has to be Desmond to turn on the machine and Bill admits he think he knows who the Isu are talking about.

Anyway, this could just be a general Desmond-gets-"lucky" situation, but in my head it's because he is actually a she.

Desmond Miles, 16, makes it to New York and can't afford to live. He has no money, no support, and no proof that he's even a US citizen. He gets very lucky that the local queer scene takes him in. After a couple years surrounded by it and learning bartending at the same place they do drag shows, she figures some shit out.

Changes her pronouns, picks a different name, and gets on hrt. Eventually, she gets a better paying job at Bad Weather, although she still hangs out at the drag shows.

Lucy still goes there for drinks, but when she sees the bartender is a woman wearing a nametag that says Roxy, she figures the shared last name is probably coincidence.

Roxy-who-was-Desmond doesn't let customers buy her drinks. She's heard stories and seen some shit. Lucy doesn't manage to get a DNA sample and Abstergo finds another test subject.

So everyone is scrambling to find Desmond Miles and meanwhile Roxy Miles is living her best life with no idea that she is the only one who can prevent an apocalypse.

The Bleeding Effect is a Temporal Nexus

The Bleeding Effect doesn’t cause hallucinations, it causes a temporal nexus that overlays reality, allowing a tactile connection.

They can touch but can’t speak unless one or both of them are in the presence of a Piece of Eden.

During the Solar Flare Ultimatum, all three of Desmond’s Assassin ancestors are present in a Nexus two-way Bleeding Effect. All three of them reach out to save him when his hand reaches the pedestal. All three of them pull Desmond into their time period, sending Desmond bouncing through time.

[saberamane]

Years after Desmond Miles saves the world from a devastating solar flare, things have gotten worse. Earthquakes are wrecking the lands, tsunamis a common occurence, the earth's magnetic poles pulling apart...

And Ezio Auditore wakes up.

Over 500 years after his death.

New fic idea!!! Are we surprised?

So cannon stays the same up to a point. I would say up to before Basim/Loki is released anyway.

Ezio wakes up with his knowledge all the way to his death, but in a younger body. Maybe early thirties.

Ezio is, of course, horribly confused. He's 'lucky' to have been found by Assassin's.

He's rather quickly shipped off to Bill, Becca and Shaun are still with him.

Of course Shaun has a lot of questions about Renaissance Italy, stuff not typically found in books ir research papers, Becca wants to figure out how and why Ezio is here, and younger than when he died, but still has all his skills and knowledge.

Bill wants to use him, predictably.

Ezio does not buy the BS Bill tries to sell him. He's going nowhere near that 'animus' thing.

Bill forbid's Shaun or Becca from talking about Desmond. They try their best, but there are some slip ups where they talk about a team mate who is no longer with them.

A couple years pass, Ezio learns about the last few hundred years, catches up on new weapons and techniques and technology.

Ezio still doesn't feel right about Bill. He knows the mentor is keeping something *vital* from him.

That's another thing that grates on Ezio, he can't stand that Bill is the mentor, not after he's seen how Bill views and treats the Assassin's under him.

Everything boils over when Ezio confronts Bill over an argument the mentor was having with Becca. Becca accidentally referred to theirost teammate as 'Desmond' in front of Bill.

Ezio demands to know who Desmond is, and where to find him.

Bill is calm as he says "Desmond died, saving the world from the solar flare."

Ezio didnt need eagle vision, or to see Becca and Shaun's flinched to know Bill wasn't telling the truth. He'd said it too calmly, too practiced.

"You will take me to Desmond, or I'll find him myself."

"You'd never be able to reach him, even if you knew where to look." Bill said dismissively, leaving.

Shaun and Becca tell Ezio what happened after Bill leaves. Abstergo, Lucy, the Animus, the Temple, the device that saved the world, and doomed it. Desmond’s sacrifice. How he'd begged them to leave. How they went back for him when they saw the green shimmer of the shield cover the earth. How his screams were still reverberating in the temple when they found him, collapsed by the device, arm seared black.

They'd thought him dead, at first. But he had a faint pulse. They rushed him out of the temple, and eventually he was taken to the Altair II.

"The what?" "It's a ship. A mobile base for the Assassin's. We figured he'd be safe there."

Of course Ezio demands to be taken there. Bill refuses. Becca goes behind Bill's back (a common occurrence once Ezio arrived) and gets in contact with someone to get them on the ship.

It's several weeks, weeks filled with arguments and Bill's pissy attitude, but eventually Ezio is standing on a modern day ship. And he can't explain it, not really, but he can feel Desmond.

They get to the med bay where people are looking into one room, shocked and curious.

"What's going on?" Becca.

"It's Desmond. His vital signs spiked a few minutes ago. Like he's waking up."

The group pushed through the crowd, and Ezio sees Desmond for the first time.

He's laying in a bed covered in white, an iv in the crook of his arm, cannula at his nose, wires coming from off his chest. An annoying beeping sounding in the room.

Ezio walks towards him, almost trance like, and takes Desmond’s hand in his own.

Everyone gasps as there's a flare of golden light, Isu lines flaring to life on Desmond where Ezio took his hand, crawling up his arm and over his face, spreading to the bed and floor and walls of the room. Spreading up Ezio’s arm and face. Ezio’s eyes are eclipsed by a golden glow, pupil, iris, and whites overtaken by gold.

Desmond’s eyes match, when he opens them.

[sulfies]

Found an old draft that was just this... I was cooking lmaooo. I love the "they hate that they find eachother hot" dynamic I gave to Ezio and Altaïr.

Its not enemiest to lovers it just enemy lovers, they care for eachother but they will always deny it bc "If he knows I like him he will become insufferable"

[emoscot]

Happy Fryeday :3

Wanted to mix my style with rubberhose out of fun

Inspired by the silly idea I had that in Assassin's Creed universe decades after Frye Twins's death, some company makes a silly animated show about them. It features Jacob as the silly chaotic one while Evie as the smart nerdy one (but in way more one dimensional & stereotypical way than they actually are lmao)

[ethan-acfan]

Just your friendly reminder that during ac3, they had started leaving Desmond in the animus for up to 3 days at a time, possibly longer. They also didn't tell him he was going to be spending extended time in the animus until AFTER the time had already passed, and not only that, they told him in an email. Not even to his face, through a goddamn email.

[teecupangel]

hi, i just thought of something, i want to hear your thoughts on it

time travel, Desmond stumbles out of a golden portal in the middle of masyaf and says "hi grandpa" to Altaïr before a frantic chase ensues. everyone is panicking, Desmond is a menace to society at his worst, and time travel seems like a freacking joke, especially when it's hard to doubt

Altaïr is trying to figure out which of his sons found a woman capable of creating such a walking nightmare

Malick cynically says that Altaïr is the only one to blame, and there's no point in blaming his sons' prospective wives

It would be funny if Desmond is notified where he’s being transported.

A week before Altaïr, Maria and Darim leave to assassinate Genghis Khan.

So he makes a grand entrance (in reality: he rolls out of th golden portal and ends up tripping some poor random Assassin before he could stop) and immediately clocks in Altaïr, greeting with a “Hi, grandpa!” because, wow, Altaïr has white in his hair AND beard.

Of course he remembered watching it as he relived Ezio’s memories but it hits differently now that he’s seeing it in ‘real time’.

Then he noticed Abbas and points at him and immediately went “He’s planning a coup! He’s been planning for years!”

And that’s where the chaos emerges.

Some random man who looks too much like Altaïr saying that Abbas is planning a coup?

Some weight is definitely there in his words because of his appearance and how he appeared.

The threat of Genghis Khan was pushed back because of these allegations.

Then…

The unknown man that goes by the name Desmond escapes his confinement (it wasn’t prison, more like… house arrest) with a letter saying “I’ll take care of Genghis Khan so don’t leave Masyaf, Altaïr!” and that’s when chaos truly ensured.

They start receiving reports of an Assassin joining up with the Mongolian Assassins and how he’s not just preparing to assassinate Genghis Khan but also helping the Mongolian Assassins… ‘upgrade’ their skills and weaponry.

There’s a lot of praises concerning Desmond and… words hiding the fact that the Mongolian Assassins believe Desmond to be Altaïr’s secret son… from another woman.

Maria laughs it off while Altaïr gets a headache.

All the while, the Brotherhood is doing an unscheduled spring cleaning because Desmond’s words forced them to check Abbas and oh boy.

That man was planning for quite a long time and he definitely has allies in the Brotherhood, that’s for sure.

This kind of chaos is definitely the work of Altaïr’s bloodline, as far as Malik is concerned. Not to mention, Sef’s wife is a sweet gentle woman. The very opposite of the chaotic grandson that left Masyaf in this state.

.

On the other side of this situation…

“He’s definitely your son.”

“I’m offended you would think that………… But I can’t say I blame you. You will die alone, after all.”

“Do you think if I cut your balls, he’ll disappear?”

“My wife will skin you alive. She loves my bal-”

“SEF!”
