So this is absolutely because @twitcherpated suggested the AC x Fruit Basket AU could have Western Zodiac Signs instead of Chinese Zodiac Signs as a reference to both AC Odyssey and the main Isus of Desmond’s Saga and my high school self just burst through the door and went: LET’S TALK ABOUT DESMOND’S AND HIS ANCESTORS’ ZODIAC SIGNS!

Because there’s actually something… interesting and kinda funny about them.

First of all, here are their Zodiac Signs:

Altaïr: January 11 (Capricorn - Cardinal - Earth)

Ezio: June 24 (Cancer - Cardinal - Water)

Ratonhnhaké:ton: Apr 4 (Aries - Cardinal - Fire)

Desmond: March 13 (Pisces - Mutable - Water)

(By the way, Cancer (Summer N - Winter S) and Capricorn (Winter S - Summer N) are opposites because of their season signs) which I find funny)

If you notice, Desmond’s main three ancestors’ Zodiac Signs all have cardinal modality. There are three times of modalities: Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable. We’ll be focusing on Cardinal and Mutable on this post:

Cardinal signs can be interpreted as the ones who push for change or initiate change.

Mutables signs can be interpreted as the ones more flexible and adaptable to whatever comes their way.

Which does sound like they could be about Desmond and his ancestors.

Cardinal:

Altaïr was known as the father of the modern Brotherhood and brought many changes to the Assassins as a whole.

Ezio brought change to the entirety of Rome (and even Italy to some extent) during Borgia rule.

Ratonhnhaké:ton helped shaped the events of the American Revolution.

Mutable: Desmond’s story had always been about him adapting to his circumstances. When he left the Farm, he adapted to a world he was unfamiliar with and, after being kidnapped by Abstergo and getting ‘rescued’ by the Assassins, the last few months of his life had been him adapting to what was happening in the real world and adapting to the Bleeding Effect he got from using the Animus.

It is funny how Desmond's main ancestors are all cardinal signs while his secondary ancestors (Haytham who he only saw a few memories of and Edward who he only started to have Bleeding Effects of during AC3 according to Valhalla) are both mutable signs with Edward being a Pisces like Desmond while Haytham is a Sagittarius (Mutable - Fire)

And then we have their elements:

Altaïr is Earth (practical, cautious, material world) which shows in the way he fights and how he handled the Apple. Instead of relying on superstition and the belief of men for things they cannot explain, Altaïr focuses on finding an explanation for this material world we live in but he was cautious enough to not fall into the Apple’s temptation until… well… near the end.

Ezio and Desmond are Water (emotion, empathy, sensitivity) which makes sense as Ezio is ruled by his emotions (especially in AC2) and that’s not a bad thing as his sensitivity and empathy are what made him a good mentor while Desmond’s empathy lies in his connection with his ancestors and his sensitivity with the Animus and the Bleeding Effect.

Ratonhnhaké:ton is Fire (assertion, drive, willpower) which fits Ratonhnhaké:ton a lot as, no matter what he did, his main drive had always been to protect and avenge his village. No matter what was thrown his way (even if it was a cannonball), he never faltered.

Of course, zodiac signs should never be taken as a way to summarize a person but I just thought it was funny how their Western Zodiac Signs were able to fit their personality and also how all three ancestors are cardinal signs and of different elements with Desmond having the same element as the ancestor he spent the longest time with in the Animus.

Let’s be clear though, the ambiguity of the characteristics of Zodiac Signs makes it easy to interpret it however we want, for example: Altaïr and Ezio could easily fit the Fire characteristic as well considering they were also driven. Desmond himself could be explained as a cardinal as his story is what kicks the modern day AC story.

In other words: Zodiac Signs are fun but don’t take them too seriously… Like me… who wrote 650+ words for this one.

(I had to doublecheck with Wikipedia on this one because it’s been a long time since I read up on this XD)

i'm doing a very slow rewatch of succession before s4 airs, but today i realized that kendall is the only one of the roy kids we ever see stand up directly to logan when he mistreats his siblings -- calling his dad out for calling shiv a coward in austerlitz, and then physically stepping between logan and roman after he slaps him in argestes, even yelling at logan not to touch him - but neither shiv or roman ever do the the same for kendall.

i'm not pointing this out to hate on roman or shiv by any means, because they have provided him support when logan's not around, but i just think it's very telling of kendall's character and likely the dynamic that played out in their household growing up. and it's hard to know what connor's role was in all of this, because we know he acted as a father figure to all three but wasn't always around, so i imagine that kendall felt he needed to be a protector to some extent in his absence. but it's just another tragic part of kendall's character that makes me wanna scream

i feel like…because kit talks abt will a lot and joe always hangs out with bash, fans underestimate joe and kit’s friendship most of the time (also maybe because they’re not super duper affectionate with each other and hide it behind insults jokes and teasing each other) but what they have is something unique and deep and only they understand because they go through such similar experiences

[spirirsstuff]

had a kinda realistic dream (only realistic at first) but looking back on it

0/10 not realistic at all mike faist was there signing autographs and i wasn’t going batshit nor did i get an autograph even though like two other people were the only ones lined up to

[cowboyhorsegirl]

Love that when Kendall did his “I’m the eldest boy!!!” tantrum Shiv was all, uhhh no you aren’t

Related, Connor somehow became my fav main character this season lol. The forgotten son that never tired winning the game of “make dad love me” that would never have a winner and yet was the closest one to his old man the last few months of his life (like knowing about the mausoleum and being at that dinner and making dad laugh, he plans his funeral and settles his estate and takes the one thing Logan had any emotional attachment to for himself because he’s the one put in charge soooo). And yet still knew dad never liked him anyway in the end??? Like. So weirdly delusional and self aware in random places

Also now all the kids are more or less in his position (Shiv less, Roman more), just take your Billions and do fucking whatever. (Connor should finally do his podcast with the Pierce guy that he befriended and then joined his campaign and stuck with him?? Willa is with him for the money but he’ll take it and he gets along with her mom so he’s come out this whole thing with more friends then before. He’s still hella isolated and whatever but he’s got friends now???)

((Also, Connor had a Happy and a Jarvis and they took them out (Willa is his Pepper) to probably make him more alone but Connor having staff that worried about his emotional well being is sooooo Tony coded: from the books of the Suc scripts that had things that got cut- https://www.tumblr.com/successions4/717873243993882624/can-you-post-any-bits-from-austerlitz-when-you-get ))

((Basically, when we start beheading Billionaires Connor gets to go when the guillotine has the sharpest blade that’s how much I like him now lol))

jfksdfjlfkd Connor deserves the sharpest guillotine. After all, it's his right as the TRUE eldest roy boy <3
