#Connor is sad

[fanworldbuildingfun]

Tonight I have two moods:

·         Desmond angst with Bleeding Effect

·         And Desmond being reborn as Al Mualim’s surprise kid

(note of warning: these are NOT in the same universe) (Unless?)

1.       Desmond angst with Bleeding Effect

So. This one leans heavily into feeling of entrapment that never went away after Abstergo. Desmond DID technically go from being used as Animus subject to being used as Animus subject. Admittedly, he did swap the relatively comfy accommodations for relatively better company (listen. Listen I may not dig the ascetic glass-n-white style Abstergo rocks, but I can appreciate that the room looked like a good hotel room). But that negate the fact that he, technically, had no real choice in either scenario

And here, instead of learning to trust Lucy/Shawn/Rebecca, Desmond instead clings to the memories of his ancestors. After all, they have neither any way nor any reason to use him, right?

He’s amicable with the team. Jokes sometimes, has lighthearted impersonal talks – basically, treats them as colleagues at most. But whatever vulnerability there is, is shown to the people he sees during Bleeds

So leaning against where he sees a ghostly Ezio sitting on his bed, or laying on the floor where he can see barely-there shades of throw pillows and rugs that normally sit in Altaïr’s office? It’s comforting. And so is the skritch of quill on parchment as Altaïr writes… Something

To Desmond, it’s not real

But for his ancestors, from the moment they held the Apple in their hands? The shadowy form of Desmond is very much real. Ezio can feel the press of Desmond’s body against his side. Altair can see how the pillows dip under Desmond’s weight

And Desmond probably wouldn’t have said half the things he did if he realized that the ghostly Connor who was making his own arrows across from him was listening. That they all listened. And could do precisely nothing

2.       Desmond as Al Mualim’s surprise kid

This is a complete and utter crack taken seriously(-ish). No one can prove Al Mualim never had any lovers, in or out of the garden. And he is not THAT old, by our standards (the man is killed at 56. Only 56!)

But he never did plan to sire a child. There was no time nor desire had for one

Except, no one thought to tell whatever Isu-bull went on with the Temple that

So in 1174, he gets “blessed” with a child from his preferred Flower who had never, to point, had a pregnancy. Ever *thoughtfully sprinkles in some more Isu bullshit because the lady genuinely never had it be an issue*

One may think Al Mualim would be the kind of man who would be a distant parent, or just forbid anyone from speaking of him having a child. But nope. Instead, Al Mualim goes completely Rodrigo Borgia over his newborn daughter

the emperor and his favourite 🌿 (based on the story of hadrian and antinous)

History says that the Roman emperor become enamored with (read: couldn’t get rid of) a young Greek man, who became his closest companion and confidant. All who knew them referred to him as “the emperor’s favourite”.

After the young man’s mysterious, untimely death, the emperor’s grief was said to have shook the heavens. Cities, temples, and even religions were erected in his honor. Their story continues to be remembered today as a love that transcended time and circumstance.

bonus:

close ups!!!

I’ve been paying WAY too close attention to mcdrai ever since Connor missed on that OT chance against the Flyers, and it seemed like Leon was waiting for him after and Connor barely joined the celly…

Then this afterwards:

Which, sure, could be about being benched for one shift during the 3rd (i checked), but he looked and sounded SO sad during that post game interview.

Then they play the preds and…

oilers vs predators, oct 17

Followed by them against the stars (can you sit further away from each other??)

oilers vs stars, oct 19

And then yesterday agains the canes:

oilers vs hurricanes, oct 22

Can someone explain to me what’s GOING ON with these two?? Something feels…off???? I know they must be frustrated with how things are going but i have…so many other questions. Is it just me??? am i seeing things??

“It is not flesh and blood, but the heart which makes us fathers and sons” - Johann Freidrich von Schiller

Basically, Haytham realizes how alike his father and son are, that he sees his own father in the very image of his son.

hey uh so that one scene where connor tells haytham that he has a ship..?? yeah that made me think that maybe connor reminds haytham of edward in some way or another
