Connor Kenway: Celebratory Birthday Headcanons- Part 1

A/N: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH, I MISSED CON-CON MAN’S BIRTHDAAAAAYYYY. 😭 😭 Connor my love I am so sorry. I love Ratonhnhaké:ton sooooooo much, he was the protagonist that introduced me to the Assassin’s Creed series and frankly he’s the only character I really care about (outside of Kaniehti:io, love her, what a Queen). So, to celebrate what I believe is his 267th birthday that just passed on the 4th, we’re gonna be doin’ some relationship headcanons for him today! Yay! There will be several versions of these headcanons, a whopping 4 /just/ off the top of my head. I’ll be sure to label them and inform you all which is which as I go. That said, I hope you enjoy!

(Babeh I sat up here and called it the RED Willow Tree wit my whole chest. 🙃😂 It's the GREAT Willow, I am such a fake fan. 😭)

(But naaaaaw, wayment. I'm re-watchin' a playthrough of TOKW and Con-Con man also said RED Willow so I'ma stick wit dat. 😂)

Yandere TOKW!Connor Relationship Headcanons:

This au’s iteration of Yandere!Connor is slightly sadistic, possessive and monopolizing 

He wants you all to himself, all of the time 

And if he plays a little rough sometimes, well, that’s just par for the course of being with someone so strong and powerful and unstable 🙃

Yandere!TOKW!Connor has indeed become seduced by the power of the Apple, his lust aided by the Great Willow Tree’s influence 

For this particular set of headcanons, we’ll split it into two separate sections: Yandere!Connor with only the power of the Great Willow Tree and Yandere!Connor with the combined strength of the Apple and the GWT

Yan-Con with only the GWT’s Influence:

As Connor continues to embark on Sky Journeys, he begins to feel this strange sense of entitlement 

Even with Washington possessing the Apple, and subsequently heralding its power, it’s still safe to say that Connor is the strongest human (?) man at that point

And his strength and powers only become more prominent the further down the rabbit hole he travels

I imagine that Connor is eventually familiar enough with his abilities that he can manipulate several at once, switch between them rapidly and take decreased or even negligible damage from using them over time

Once he’s mastered that, he’s nigh-unstoppable and while influenced by the power of the tree, he’s more than willing to use that power to his advantage 

And yes, that means even on you 

But don’t get it twisted! 

GWT Yan-Con does love you

He loves you so, so much in fact, that he’s keeps you under his proverbial (and literal, with the power of the eagle) wing at all times 

You are forbidden from traveling anywhere without him and you definitely cannot join him on his Sky Journeys

Seriously, don’t even think about asking him unless you want him to fly (haha, eagle power 🤪) into an overprotective rage 

Using his wolf ability and the power of the eagle, Yan-Con likes to sneak up on you sometimes to scare you

He finds it increasingly amusing to see your eyes, even if only for a moment, widen in fear and surprise, then relax, but only slightly, once you realize it’s just him

He also uses his abilities to spy on you, to ensure you aren’t doing anything silly like, oh I dunno, trying to escape him

Not that you ever could, which is something you both are well aware of, but he just likes to know you’re being a good girl and behaving yourself 

Though you aren’t allowed to travel without him, RWT Yan-Con does like to take you out with him during his excursions on the Aquila 

If you get seasick/motion sick though…..sorry? 

Prior to defeating Washington however, he keeps you locked up tight, out of fear that you might be A.) found and B.) subsequently caught up in Washington’s madness

His temper, while already fairly short, is shortened even further, and his patience becomes increasingly thin

He tries not to expose you to either though, out of concern that you may grow to fear him more than you love him

I mean, he’s fine with you fearing him, you should, you’ve seen how powerful he is after all

But he wants you to love him above all else

And care for him, and dote on him, and rub him down when he’s had a long day spilling blood and keeping you safe 

In essence, he feels that you should adore him

Just the same as he adores you

Yan-Con with Apple and GWT influence:

Woo boi, do you have quite the task at hand sis 😃

That task being tolerating taking care of King!Connor, who wields both the power of the Apple and the Great Willow Tree

This iteration of Connor is all that other stuff I just mentioned, but like, taken up to an 11

That initial nagging sense of entitlement has morphed into full blown expectancy that you will love and obey and, again, dote on him

Funnily enough, because he now, for sure, is the strongest human (?) man and everyone knows his authority and power are absolute, he allows you to roam about freely

After all, no one in their right mind is going to even think about messing with the Queen 

He also is able to send his wolf pack to simultaneously trail and guard you but you don’t need to know that 🙃

Something that’s also quite interesting is that, because Connor has the power of the Great Willow Tree, and thus has already been well exposed to the allure of an otherworldly power, he is able to remain fairly lucid whilst wielding the Apple, and can actually use it’s power for the good of others and still send a message to all that he is supreme

While I can’t say that either of these iterations of Yan-Con would never hurt you intentionally, because, well, they would, but they wouldn’t ever do anything serious or leave any permanent scars

Scratches and love bites though, those are fair game

Speaking of scratches and love bites

What are these iterations of Yan-Con like in bed?

Boy am I glad you asked 😃

King!Yan-Con handles you in bed just like the wild animal he now is

I’m talkin’ the aforementioned scratches and love bites, lots of filthy dirty talk and rough hands manhandling you into all his favorite positions

Which include cowgirl (reverse and normal) and doggystyle 😁

The man also loves to eat you out

He could spend hours between your legs, just savoring the taste of you

He’s obsessed, let’s be totally honest here

In terms of size he’s about 8 inches lengthwise and about an inch and a half thick, slightly curved with 2-3 prominent veins 

His hands are surprisingly soft and well-kept, especially now since he’s a king and is duly pampered 

(He makes you bathe him, or at the least, bath with him btw)

He can also be loving and gentle

Every now and then 🙃

His newly acquired wild instincts just usually take control of him 

But when he is in the mood to love on you the right way, his voice and touches become softer, his words less scathing and built body doesn’t seem as imposing 

It’s nice, you have to admit, and because- regardless of how he decides to bed you- he always gives you mind blowing orgasms, you can’t decide which side of him you like more 🤔

[teecupangel]

Had such a stupid idea/mental image.

Desmond reborn as worm. But wait, where does the worm show up? Eating his way out of the Apple of fuckin Eden like any worm would!

I just don’t even know what would happen next but I’m positive it’d be hilarious

Well… we can set this up to be the beginning of this Desmond as a Huge Ass Worm idea from before?

That way, the twist would be that the worm could actually turn into a huge worm.

Honestly, this ask just makes me remember the whole “would you still love me even if I was a worm?” XD

For this one, I think it would be funny if Desmond is found eating the Apple by Al Mualim and Malik while the Templars were storming Masyaf. They, of course, didn’t expect Desmond to have eaten it. They thought he had simply wiggled his way into the case because there was a small opening that a worm his ‘size’ could fit into.

That was fine with Desmond, he wiggles his way to where he saw the gold in this strange worm vision he now has.

(It took hours though because… well… worms aren’t known to be fast in the first place anyway)

When he gets there, his guess was right and the gold was Altaïr, sleeping in what counts as the ‘hospital’ in the fortress.

Without the Apple to create illusions for Altaïr, Desmond supposed he had been punished… the ‘usual way’.

He stays near Altaïr’s head and curls around himself.

And has no idea what to do when Altaïr wakes up.

(His worries are for naught because Altaïr wakes up and sees him as gold. He has no idea why but he keeps him anyway… he learns later on why when he’s being pursued by crusaders while traveling)

With Ezio, I like the idea that they found him asleep after eating half of the Apple that was being transported to Venice. Mario thinks the Apple is broken (it is) and Leonardo finds the worm fascinating. Ezio touches him once and Desmond realize that, by eating the Apple, he got the Apple’s ability XD

With Ratonhnhaké:ton, George Washington opens the box where the Apple should be and finds the remains of an Apple (which he didn’t recognize because why would he?) and a worm. Thinking that the worm just got inside the box and whatever was originally in the box wasn’t there anymore or had been destroyed, he gave the box to one of his men to categorize it as another ‘confiscated item’. From there, the story revolves around Desmond’s adventure to finally get to the homestead XD

[sc4llywag]

Good morning Ratonhnaké:ton nation.

I present to you,

Re-boobiefied Connor+no text covering the boobies

This was for fun bc I got bored and I was feeling salty that they took away this beautiful man's honkers in the dlc so eat up babes

I tried adding more muscle too bc they also took his STRONK smh

It's barely noticeable

[peridot-tears]

Tbh though, in Tyranny of King Washington DLC, they nailed the hostility of walking into a public space where you're the only BIPOC person. Walk into a tavern, and everyone's staring at Ratohnhaké:ton, saying shit like I-can't-believe-THOSE-are-allowed-here? Move fast or else someone's gonna attack you? It's too real. It's walking into a former sundown town, it's walking into a rural white area. Hell, it's walking into white suburbs too.

The best thing AC's ever given me is the ability to beat up racists and not get into legal trouble for it.

[sulfies]

I'd honestly prefer no remake. They can't fuck up Ezio's character and story if they don't use it. XD Plus, the games are still good experiences if you don't expect modern graphics and gameplay. ^^

Yes i agree lol i said so in the answers also, i think they never actually remake the games that need it in a way that is needed.

Like Baldurs gate 1-2 deserve a remake purely bc they are so hard to play due to when they were made.(Try it and u will agree i lasted 10 min in that ui) İts not fun for ppl who didnt grow up in that generation so a remake would be amazing esp with BG3s popularity now.

But AC series dont rlly need a remake, they still look beutifull and they are still playable.

Clunky? Yes, esp some parts but playable and many of the mistakes can be fixed by fixing bugs and problems rather than a REMAKE. Water looks good textures look good and character models still hold up well. Slap some shaders on, and voila.

U dont need to HDfy and remake every texture pf the game bc then u get ac3 remaster, silent hill remaster.

Also whats w remasters and REMOVİNG content from the game??? Like U SHOULD ADD TO İT? w ac3 they took a whole mission at the end where u get to unlock cheats and get little lore and have fun w the mission. They just put the cheats at the menu.... And they didnt even do it right bc i thşnk i litterally had a mission icon for that trigger to show still...

So yea its better they dont remester bc they would make the original unavailable to get and remove leo dlc (they already did lol and clays too in rev) n stuff from game im sure. And as u said they cant butcher our boy if they never get their hands on it

Still simp part of me wants to see how hd young ezio would look

[especiallyhaytham]

I feel like I'm going crazy right now, but didn't AC3 have a thing where there were secret Freemason tunnels under the colonies? They were introduced early in the main story so you knew they were there, smt like "Here's how you can escape from soldiers, follow the rats to get out, have fun." And then you had to find the different entrances and map out the system as you went through the game.

I SWEAR that was a thing, but I'm like 75% through the game right now (the original version, not the remaster) and they are NOWHERE. Was it part of a DLC or something? Someone tell me that was real.

[pandaaaaaaaaxd]

Some parents exist in other parallel world timelines. You can think of these as the undisclosed past of the additional DLC for the ac3. Although Haytham died early and only left a sleeve sword for his own children, there is still plenty of freedom to create!

[justa-smalltown-gargoyle]

I just finished the Tyranny of King Washington DLC for AC3!!!!

Thoughts under the cut :3

Interesting premise, I was intrigued by Connor seeming confused at the beginning, and the remnants throughout of him being aware of the regular timeline.

I really enjoyed seeing more Kaniehtí:io, would have liked even more :( she’s such an interesting character. Honestly I’d be excited to see friendly faces again only for them to quickly die😔 it was fun seeing some of the homestead people there! And having them help out! So cool!

Connor/Ratonhnhaké:ton’s new fit was very cool, I liked it a lot and also made more sense because in this version why would he ever get the assassin robes??? But also why tf was he out here bare chested in the mf winter????

I did enjoy the powers (the flying one was the most fun) howeveerrrrrr the backstory behind them was 😬😬😬 idk I feel like being like ooooooHoooOoh tea from the treeeee and the “spirit animal” thing was. Very stereotypical and racist

Btw why did they do that to his poor eyes. Horrifying, change it back !!!! Bro was standing there all the time like

🔵👄🔵

Also like what frustrated me so much, and it makes sense for the story but always having high notoriety was annoyingggg and I got very tired of it. Using the powers made it less assassiny but I guess this is an au storyline so, whatever, like they were a fun gimmick but also just very different than what I’m used to. (Also the guard dogs. wtf)

I feel like the plot had a nice progression and again like I said the story was interesting. Seeing Thomas Jefferson was wild ngl. I didn’t super enjoy all the running around the pyramid before finding Washington but oh well- I think there was also an interesting concept there of like “how far are you willing to go to stop evil/what will you let yourself become, will you too become a monster, or like when does it stop being about helping people and when does it become just taking the big bad down. I do think the powers chipping away at Ratonhnhaké:ton and also like his desire a bit for the apple at the end was interesting….but not fully developed. I feel like that character arc/plot thread was never really fully developed or finished. I feel that Washington had more a complete “arc” in this story.

Anyways I want more character study on Ratonhnhaké:ton because I love him and there are so many interesting things about his character and so much more you can do.

Also the ending reveal of what was happing was cool and I enjoyed that as the explanation! Why the apple does not do this for everyone…I do not know. Or maybe it does and they still give in? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyways! Fun dlc yay

EDIT: not fun dlc yay, apparently they got rid of a lot of the original cast and replaced them with white actors without letting the original cast know, wtf, and didn’t have cultural consultants !!!! Hmmmm dumb tea tree making a lot more sense now! Also makes me question the authenticity of Connor’s fit and his markings. wtf Ubisoft ???

Also you take down the pope that has the apple in the staff in AC2 with no powers, why does Connor suddenly need powers???

[thats-by-the-by]

WAS ANYONE GOING TO TELL ME THAT THE FIRST SHIP YOU INFILTRATE IN THE JACK THE RIPPER DLC IS THE ONE HAYTHAM SAILS ON IN AC3 OR WAS I GOING TO HAVE TO DISCOVER THAT MYSELF

[rumor-imbris]

Those demons whispering from the dark within you I hear them too they kill me too But please Never let them seize your hope Never give in, never bend Take my hand I'm only a dream away

[electronicdelusionstarlight]

"See, the real reason why shit is bad in the US isn't because of structural inequalities or a history of racism or a deeply flawed political system NO the real reason it's because there is a racist old man wielding a McGuffin who makes everyone sexist and racist by just existing, so you just need to remove the racist old man (not kill we don't kill fascist dictators or tyrants or their death squad leaders then we'd be just as bad as them) from power and eventually everything will fix itself."

"Also he is shaped like a AC3 DLC villain."

[gxldencity]

also my unpopular opinion is that I'm not the biggest fan of the dai soundtrack lmao. There are some hits like the main theme, in your heart shall burn and the orlais suite but like 75% of what you'll hear in the game are the ambient sounds and the combat music and the soundtrack just didn't have that. the dlcs were a lot better and lost elf/dark solas theme are probably the best themes in this entire series so maybe I am excited for the datv soundtrack when u see the guy who did the ac3 soundtrack (which had some pretty banger ambient songs) is its composer 🤷🏽

[teecupangel]

Prompt! Desmond mistakenly time travels to Ratonhnhaké:ton's time, and Juno, who realizes what he did, tries to turn Ratonhnhaké:ton against him. I believe I heard somewhere that Juno told Ratonhnhaké:ton to hide the key to the Temple? Well what if she told him of Desmond, maybe showed him a 'projection' of Desmond killing Lucy, and says Desmond will try to befriend him only to turn on him to get the apple of that time? (Ignorant of AC3 so I don't know the timeline of events.)

Juno only talks to Ratonhnhaké:ton twice though since Juno can only talk to Ratonhnhaké:ton using the crystal ball thingie that the clan mother had. One is when he was a teenager and told to leave the village to seek out the Assassins. The next time they talked is when the villagers had left without telling Ratonhnhaké:ton and Ratonhnhaké:ton called Juno out for her lies.

And since you want Juno to talk to Ratonhnhaké:ton about Desmond during the time she tells him to hide the key, we’ll set it at their second talk, during the ending parts of AC3.

So, in this setup, this would be a Ratonhnhaké:ton that’s still reeling from having to kill Haytham, bury Achilles, and find out his village had gone and left him alone even though everything he had done had been to protect them.

Also, by setting this up during that time, we can push the timeline of George Washington showing Ratonhnhaké:ton the Apple and make it so that Juno would show him a vision of the Apple in Washington’s hands, telling him, “He plans to take the Apple from this man…” (which is true, Desmond knows an Apple would be a big help right now) “… to use for his own selfish desires…” (which is also sorta true if you consider trying to change the past a selfish desire since Desmond isn’t thinking of what kind of butterfly effect it would have in the end) “… and none shall be able to defeat him…” (and here Juno will show him Desmond willingly using the Apple to kill Vidic who, as far as Ratonhnhaké:ton knows, is an unarmed old man telling Desmond to stop then flash forward it to Desmond using the Apple to order all Abstergo goons to take their own lives). Without knowing that Abstergo are Templars in disguise (and that Desmond was saving his father and trying not to die or get captured), Juno is able to paint Desmond as a ‘bad man’ that Ratonhnhaké:ton must be wary of.

Hell, Juno goes “You must kill him.” because Desmond only needs to live in the 21st century, this Desmond is an obstacle and a wildcard that Juno can't even use.

“If you do… I will show you where your village has gone.”

And Ratonhnhaké:ton knows he’s being used but, still…

Desmond looked dangerous and if the Apple in Washington’s hands is truly powerful then no one should hold it.

In this situation, both Ratonhnhaké:ton and Desmond go to Washington first just as Washington received the Apple from an unknown person.

Washington is surprised by their appearance (Ratonhnhaké:ton because they didn’t necessarily end in good terms and Desmond because he’s a complete stranger who just barged in without anyone notifying Washington at all) so… the Apple sorta activated while the three of them are in the vicinity.

And thus we have a story idea of Desmond accidentally getting transported into Tyranny of King Washington DLC.

Unorganized Notes:

To make things interesting, Desmond didn’t relive Ratonhnhaké:ton’s memories of the DLC. He went to Washington because he felt the Apple and thought “yeah, Washington shouldn’t have an Apple. Also… I need an Apple and this is closer than the vault in Rome.”

So when he gets transported into the DLC ‘timeline’, Desmond’s just “yeah, definitely the Apple’s illusion powers. But… why is everything so… real? Oh shit. Did I get transported in a different timeline???”

Ratonhnhaké:ton’s part of the story remains the same but Desmond intervenes enough times that his mother doesn’t die. She does, however, go into a coma so we have an excuse for Ratonhnhaké:ton to feel pressured to drink from the Red Willow tree.

Ratonhnhaké:ton sees Desmond has a hidden blade and they fight a few times (with Desmond trying to insist that he doesn’t want to fight Ratonhnhaké:ton and staying more on the defensive). He also notices that Desmond’s fighting style is too close to his own but there are moments where he feels like he is fighting a different person.

Desmond sees Ratonhnhaké:ton summon ghost wolves and he’s like “Okay, we’re doing this now? Fine.” with a tone of a tired man who had seen so much shit in a short amount of time that he’s just rolling with the punches.

Desmond and Ratonhnhaké:ton team up to defeat King Washington and Ratonhnhaké:ton does start to think there is more to it than Desmond being an evil man. Also he was already sus of Juno anyway,

So when they return to the real world, Washington gives the Apple to Ratonhnhaké:ton and Desmond doesn’t do anything. He just… leaves.

Later on, Desmond is surprised when Ratonhnhaké:ton appears before him.

While he’s about to board a ship set for France (it was the ship that would dock closest to Italy).

And Ratonhnhaké:ton admits that he still has the Apple and…

He’d like it if Desmond stayed for a while.

Desmond stares at him before smiling as he says, “I’d like that.”

(You know, for someone who hated the final boss of this DLC, I mention this DLC a lot…)

[peridot-tears]

We were talking about virtue signaling and, well, I'm salty about ACIII's attempt at inclusivity.

Basically, we're so used to getting so little rep that once we get even a little bit of cultural consultation or opportunity to put our languages on a big platform, it feels like the best thing in the world. Even though it's bare minimum.

(OG convo was about rep at large.)

[sc4llywag]

Haven't played the final part of Ac3 TOKW but what I've seen so far and seen from @ramshackledtrickster 's post about it, it makes me sad how much potential it had but wasted it.

I really love the idea that Connor gets him mother back just for her to be ripped away from him again, and ofc he feels sad but he's not as devastated because HE ALREADY LOST HER ONCE. God this gets me so sad and I can't. BWJWKQKBDKBSLBWBO

But everything ranshackled has said have such valid points and I suggest you read them if you're interested :)

Also Connor is hot in the dlc so HAHEHEHWHWHEHEHHE
