“Thank you, Kassandra. Tell my Aspasia I was a good boy and took my drugs” yeah man. I’m sure you’re Aspasia’s good boy often enough

Athens in a nutshell.

[findusinaweek]

Things stuck out to me while watching cutscenes in AC Odyssey: 1) Deimos almost always goes for the head. 2) Deimos has a grudge against Sparta (valid). 7 out of 9 kills in game are Spartans. Screenshot proof under the thingy. TW for violence, death

Gonna go see my dad Perikles!!! 😊💙

[mimbotomy]

I am high on weed and NyQuil and yet am still awake because a bad cough and a fever and for some reason decided it was a good idea to read the AC Odyssey Novelization! Here are some random things that stuck out that I think you should know:

Kassandra’s hears Nikolaos’ lessons in her head throughout the book.

She also loves Phoibe so much but tries so hard to pretend she doesn’t because her mother told her that love is weakness when she was a kid.

Kassandra finds Ikaros as a hatchling taking shelter among the bones at the bottom of Mount Taygetos.

It’s mostly from Kassandra’s POV but there’s some other brief POVs too. The Cult POVs seem to exist pretty much make sure that the reader knows they’re like super fucking evil and Stentor’s few POVs are mostly to bitch about Kassandra.

In one of his less bitchy POVs it’s revealed that a Spartan soldier in Megaris tried to grab Kassandra and kiss her and she either full on broke or just badly bruised his jaw

Building off that sorta, the only person Kassandra even kisses is Alkibiades at the symposium, and mostly to get information.

Nikolaos’ fate is left ambiguous for a long time.

Someone mocks Barnabas’ storytelling in line to see the Oracle and Herodotos later sets the guards on him to provide a distraction so Kassandra can sneak back and talk with the Oracle more.

The Cultists are way less protective of their identities in Delphi and way more obvious with their plans to get rid of Deimos. Also, Kassandra kills a lot of them on accident.

Aspasia keeps Kassandra from drinking poisoned wine, courtesy of Hermippos, at the symposium and helps her escape Athens

Chrysis is killed by her own biological son, the priest Dolpos who helped Myrrine, in revenge for both taking his tongue and killing countless children over the years.

Kassandra and Brasidas’ super badass warehouse fight doesn’t happen. Instead they are discovered by the Monger and taken captive and rescued by two heterae prisoners after the Monger burns Kassandra’s legs with an iron poker.

Phoibe dies playing hide and seek with Kassandra as they escort Perikles to see the Parthenon one last time and Kassandra first realizes something is wrong because she can’t hear Phoibe’s giggles anymore 😭

The first time Kassandra cries after that night on Taygetos is when Phoibe dies.

Aspasia only fully decides to leave the cult after Perikles’ death.

Pausanias’ super secret cult nickname is the Red Eyed Lion and he is uncovered because of a wine stained map or letter or something and a ring seal of a lion and some other super circumstantial evidence.

When they return to Sparta, Barnabas and the crew somehow temporarily sink the Adrestia in a cove to keep from being spotted by Spartan scouts.

The Kos and Arkadia storylines don’t happen at all and the Olympics happen after Kassandra and Myrrine already got their house.

At one point, Kassandra refers to her new family as Myrrine, Barnabas, Herotodos, and Brasidas, which made my shipper heart happy. Then in that same paragraph she refers to Herodotos and Brasidas as something like proud uncles, so we’re pretending that doesn’t exist

Kassandra is imprisoned in Athens for months and like in the game, is “rescued” by Barnabas and Sokrates. Barnabas still has his shovel but Sokrates has a broom instead of a pitchfork.

Also, there’s a small subplot about the woman Barnabas has a fling with on Naxos and her husband who Herodotos met that visited Thera. He’s being tortured by the Cult when Kassandra is imprisoned in Athens and is brutally murdered when he refuses to tell them anything.

Kleon was 100% planing to kill Deimos at Amphipolis.

Brasidas basically dies telling Kassandra how happy he is to see her what the fuck???

A lot of the confrontation on Taygetos is the same as the good ending of the game, where Deimos tells Kassandra that he’s done terrible things. But he also tells her that he can’t change no matter how much he wants to while preparing to throw a knife at Myrrine so she kills him.

Nikolaos and Stentor watch Alexios’ funeral at a distance until Kassandra and Myrrine invite them to join them for dinner.

Kassandra doesn’t fight the Minotaur and Co. but is just given the staff by Pythagoras, who talks to her after his death through the pyramid.

Aspasia’s fate is somewhat left ambiguous in the end because Kassandra’s focused too much on the vision from the pyramid.

Overall, it read a little bit like a weird fanfic! I saw glimpses of the characters we love from the game but since the author cut out such big pieces of the plot and every side quest - which makes sense since it was a very short book - we didn’t get to see too much of them either. Except for Kassandra, who is a lot more no nonsense than I imagine her as. There’s no flirting or and very little joking, but I really liked her resourcefulness and unique fighting style. And her love for Phoibe and her family that shines like a beacon throughout the entire book, from the very beginner where her mother tells her it is unspartan to love. Of course, our lovely Kassandra is a lover and a fighter and that does not change no matter what ❤️

Hope this list helps some of my fellow lovely wonderful odyssey fic writers I love you all so much you beautiful souls 😘😘😘

Realistic Portraits of Assassin's Creed Odyssey

okay, this one was, though. The toughest that I've done because even tho AC Odyssey give us realistic faces, they were also kinda of not that realistic? And they were very specifics, so I did the same I've done with the Avatar Realistic Portraits, trying to match the ethnicity based on what I've sawed in the game.

I've also tried to make some characters look older or younger. Like Kass is older than Alexios cuz she is the protagonist, or me aging up Myrrine... Enjoy.

Kassandra and Alexios

Barnabas and Homero

Myrrine and Nikolaus

Stentor and Brasidas

Aspasia and Pheobe

Markos and Xenia

Kyra and Perikles

Sokrates and Alkibiades

Bonus: Layla Hassan and Ikaros(human version)

[msmisthios]

ok this is a random thought about AC Odyssey but a while back I said on stream that I intend on killing Alexios bc of his 👹major crimes against humanity👹

and apparently that's quite an unpopular opinion??? but hear me out. just bc he's blood related to Kassandra doesn't actually mean shit. I have cut off so many family members irl for being horrible people and so I don't think Kassandra would want Alexios to run around murdering people left right and center *just because* they share some dna. and I also don't think that fact is enough for her to believe that he can magically turn good either.

in my brain it's the moment she sees Alexios kill Perikles that it clicks for her that he's so much worse and evil than she realised, so to me it makes sense for her to kill him lol

[siennamain]

AC is so funny, like, here's my bestie, the real life perikles. yes, the greek politician.

here's my sexyman, brasidas, the greek general.

i fucked the irl politician/general/mastermind alcibiades.

[master-of-the-stars]

The idea had recently attacked my brain to redraw Odyssey screenshots but, with more of the way we perceive the characters from history (mostly based on statues). This was actually really fun and I might continue to draw some art for these who knows. Evident by the amount of times I drew him Alcibiades was definitely my favorite to draw. Again, very fun and I hope you like it!

Aspasia!

Not a character I was expecting but a character I love nonetheless! Aspasia is incredible and I’m not cruel enough to ghost her. I’m gunna go with a modern au simply because I can. Ancient Greek politics? In my modern society? It’s more likely than you think!

So modern!Aspasia is still the charming with of Perikles, the ruling politician in Athens. She’s also still the snake whispering in his ear to influence his decisions

Naturally, she’s still the leader of the Cult and influences each and every one of its veins. Only, now the Cult are far better at hiding. They have the money and the technology to hide their involvement; to play ‘ignorant’ to their true purpose

Aspasia is a bisexual icon and boy, do we love to see it!

She is as meticulous as she is ‘endearing’. There is never a hair out of place nor a wrinkle in her clothes. However, her charming smile is always enough to keep the public on her side.

Aspasia formally adopts Phoibe and is genuinely saddened by her loss. One of her biggest regrets is her involvement in it. The same regret cannot be said for her husband’s death.

Whilst she has the wits and intelligence to run as a politician herself, Aspasia fat prefers simply being seen as Perikles’ wife. It lowers public attention on her and makes it far easier to work in the background. She has just as much power but far less public attention.

She sees herself as having a very open relationship with Perikles, drifting between male and female lovers. Since their first meeting, she’s had her eyes set on Kassandra.
