Assassin's Guild pizza party

[pratchettquotes]

Vimes took a deep breath. "You see, Miss Wiggs, quite a few of your chums have tried to kill me at home in recent years. As you might expect, I take a dim view of this."

"Easy to see why, sir," said Jocasta, in the voice of one who knows that their only hope of escaping from their present predicament is reliant on the goodwill of another person, who has no pressing reason to have any.

I once made a cross stitch sampler for a friend that read "the fastest way to a man's heart is with a knife" but now I wish I'd done this version with an illustration.

Okay I don't know why but I've had this random thought swimming around in my head for awhile and I wanna know your thoughts on it:

Jonathan Teatime from Hogfather, The Corinthian from The Sandman and Moriarty from Sherlock would totally be friends!

What a very dangerous trio they'd be together, oh god can you imagine them loose on the streets? No one is safe!

What do you think? What are your thoughts?

I might make a moodboard of it! Who knows?

Morana blank intro

Found on Pinterest

Current occupation: The Emissary and right hand of the pirate queen Eris of the xylem sea

Past occupation: assassin kings right hand.

Gender: female

Age: 23

Hight:Five foot seven inches

Appearance:

White hair

Pale as snow skin

Scars on her back and left hip

Tattoos to symbolize her hits and achievements

Brand from going undercover as a slave to kill a target at twelve..took two months to get close enough

Tattoos descriptions: the tattoos are similar to vines unless the target was a high risk target then the assassin can get a rose, skull or crown depending on a few things Briath got a crown tattoo attached to some vines at age twelve... It's the same for all of the assassin guild although she has gotten a few tattoos herself for memorable hits.

Hight: Five foot seven inches.

She was raised by assassin's and has no clue her family tree, it is assumed her parents were slaves as her last name is blank and that's the name given to freed slaves.

She was the right hand of the assassin king until a mission went South and she was left behind by the other assassins they assumed she died....she did not die she was rescued by a pirate queen Eris and served as her right hand until she met a certain shaman by the name of Morana

She was and is a highly efficient fighter in hand to hand but she prefers to use a knife. She sees being left by the assassin guild as as a betrayal because she saw them as family ...... she is also a little psychotic

Briath could probably be the embodiment of trauma warnings she is a ex-assassin who didn't really give up the killing part yet and definitely has some issues to work through although knowing her she probably won't.

Review - Assassin's Guild (2024)

History is the truth they want you to remember. Legends are the truth they pushed too far. Myths are the truth they want you to forget.

illario as the grandchild that is most like caterina is something i'm loving to chew on. the grandson that took her lessons to heart the most. kill anyone who sees your face and knows your name, "we are not revolutionaries", the first out of the two to prioritise the contract. power at any cost, and the only one to lean into the unnecessary abuse that their grandmother told them was tradition. why is anyone surprised he allied with the venatori? and then there's illario's considerable skill in infiltration and manipulating any mark, he has always had the charisma that lucanis lacked. illario isn't attached, he has/can/will use someone and immediately drop them; "that does free me from promises i don't intend to keep". he can lie about how much he cares so well that he fools a magister into believing he loves her. he kills zara without hesitation to cover his own tracks, meanwhile lucanis blindly promises a young girl in the middle of a siege that he will help her find her father. even the lessons about family stick with him, and in this entire messy power struggle, he never actually orders anyone to directly kill caterina or lucanis, not until he's backed into a corner.

and even after all that. despite even lucanis believing illario should be first talon, lucanis is still the better killer. illario is not strong enough to be the brutal assassin caterina needs him to be. so when lucanis seems to fill the role his mother left, grief and love for her dead heir apparent remains, and any of the other qualities caterina needs in her next talon doesn't matter. whatever his mother was, lucanis has to be. what illario does doesn't matter, because he will always be second best to caterina's memory of her favored daughter.

Viago: If you want my advice-

Rook: No offense but you're the last person I want relationship advice from. You tried to kill your significant other. Multiple times.

Viago: First off, that was before we started dating. Secondly, they've also tried to kill me.

Teia: It's true. It was mutually attempted murder. Crow business, you understand.

Dark!Cupid AU Moodboard: Jonathan Teatime

"Do you wanna see, how creepy I can be?"

-Jonathan Teatime

🏹🩸🏹🩸🏹🩸🏹🩸🏹🩸🏹🩸🏹🩸🏹🩸🏹🩸🏹🩸

With his head of golden curls, small soft white wings and handsome cherub face, Jonathan Teatime makes the perfect Cupid....except with his mismatched eyes and tendency to inhume, he's a Cupid gone completely rogue!

Armed with his bow and sharp tipped arrows, Jonathan always aims for the heart.....literally! And he rarely misses his shot. Watch out for him fluttering about, his sweet cherub face may scream "innocence!" but when he procures his lethal arrows and takes aim with a cruel smile, his intentions are far from innocent.

I guess I'm not really clear on what the deal is with Treviso's defenses or lack thereof. So it's a "defenseless merchant city" with no standing army, like the rest of Antiva, because... the reputation of the Crows is enough? Maybe I missed codex entries or, god forbid, a tie-in novel, explaining how this collective of extremely wealthy city-states that grew to power because of their naval might and location as a trade hub didn't at any point establish an army. Shouldn't each city have their own army?? Especially because there was a civil war at the beginning of the Dragon Age??? And dragons have been ravaging the north for fifty years and there was a Blight 20 years ago and the Qunari have been threatening invasion for decades????????
