An AU of an AU for you: "Desmond is Fenrir (kinda)" but Desmond isn't really in it. Basim first sees Desmond when he is awakened from Yggdrasil and it... Messes up a lot of things. He researches Desmond (not odd for Shaun&Becca, though staring is kinda creepy). He realizes Reader was Desmond (he is shiny all time it can be forgiven). Next stop? Same as for Alatheia, insuring he also has a body to return to
Basim after realizing Desmond is that shiny dude he probably had one or two conversations with during his imprisonment:
I honestly don’t know how Aletheia would even react to that. For one, I feel like Aletheia would be the one to think “that can’t be our son” and that would develop cracks in their relationship. On the other hand, that may be the push Basim needs to develop a better relationship with Shaun and Becca. To be fair, in this scenario, I feel that Shaun and Becca could easily be persuaded to help him find Desmond a body.
But you know who wouldn’t need that much persuasion?
William Miles.
I see Bill actually agreeing to Basim’s plans just to see Desmond once more. He doesn’t show it but Desmond’s death has screwed him up even more and he’s more willing to make deals with the devil on the off-chance that it would revive Desmond. (To be fair, that’s just me trying to make sense of why someone as paranoid as Wiliam Miles would be so cordial with Basim in the last chapter)
In this case, I think the ones who would try to stop them are the other Assassins.
For one, Basim is a fucking Isu. There’s no way Assassins would just be okay with letting him do as he pleases. Even if he was a Hidden One, Eivor’s memories made it clear that he has an agenda of his own that could be detrimental to the world.
So now, Basim and Desmond’s cell will become rogue Assassins and they need to evade both the Templars and the Assassins.
And… maybe… that was the Reader’s plan from the start.
Those last eight years in the Gray had skewered his priorities and moral compass to… well… a monochrome of gray.
And what he found out is that, for the world to continue to keep on surviving against all odds, against all the other catasthropes heading its way after the solar flare…
Desmond Miles must be revived at all costs.

shoutout to the guy who after unsuccessfully hitting on my sister and being politely declined asked her "is it okay if i ask your brother instead" and when she said yes gave me a long and searching look before sighing and going "no. i am not drunk enough to go for a dude. but you look like an angel" happy bisexual pride to this man and this man only. hope you figure it out soon king

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

Palestinian men should not have to repeatedly hold up pictures of their family struggling through a genocide, for us to care about them. Fundraisers conducted by/for Palestinian men, should not have to repeatedly refer to their mothers, sisters, wives and children, to make us realize their humanity, their vulnerability. Enough. Isn't it enough after so many months? Hadn't it always been enough?

idk man but something about Stanley "taught himself extremely advance physics/math/probably many other things while running a relatively successful business" Pines and Stanford "is wanted in almost every dimension with a judicial system of some kind" Pines is sooo fucking funny to me

I'm in awe of how we ran historical revisionism on the civil rights movement so bad that people truly believe it was quiet self-sacrifcial non-disruptive christ-like activism that forced progress and not — like — the incredible economic pressure of boycotts and outbreaks of illegal civil disobedience
Yapping to the choir but eughhh it burns me up girl effective protests have to be loud and inconvenient for change to happen because silent cries die in the dark that's the entire pointtt

I could think of no better way to share the news than this!
So when I was 17, my cat went missing and I'd given up hope of ever seeing him again.
Until on Monday, 27th of May, 2024, my friend sent me a FB post asking 'isn't that your mother?' about the person named on the microchip.
Here he is! 16 years old, and found safe, twelve whole years after he went missing!
Yesterday (Tuesday the 28th of May, 2024) I went to the rescue that had him, and I reclaimed my boy, renaming him Artie! (He'd originally been called 'Cat' because my mother and I couldn't decide on a name)
He's home safe with me now, currently inhabiting my bathroom and purring up a storm every time someone goes in there!
I'll be doing slow introductions between him and my current cat to give them the best possible chance of living in harmony!
Here's some pictures of Artie once we let him out of the carrier:
