"What matters is: I ordered you to kill someone, and you obeyed."

I don't get all the hate this woman gets. I mean, she isn't the only questionable character in the game (?). Real girlboss, love her. Absolute queen.

Maybe I said it before but it DESERVES to be said again, Cicero was ABSOLUTELY in the right and it’s even told to us at the end of the storyline but also Astrid fucking broke EVERY SINGLE RULE the Brotherhood ever stood for OVER THE COURSE OF THE GAME, further proving she was never qualified to be a leader in the first place

Tenet I. Never dishonor the Night Mother. To do so is to invoke the Wrath of Sithis.

A good majority of the questline focuses on Astrid not respecting the Night Mother in the slightest, she doesn’t even welcome her into Sanctuary to begin with

Tenet II. Never betray the Dark Brotherhood or its secrets. To do so is to invoke the Wrath of Sithis.

Astrid betrays the entire brotherhood and has their Sanctuary burned to the ground because she ratted the player out to the penitus oculatus

Tenet III. Never disobey or refuse to carry out an order from a Dark Brotherhood superior. To do so is to invoke the Wrath of Sithis.

After the player is revealed to be the listener, they effectively become Astrid’s superior. She tells the player not to go to Amaund Motierre after the Night Mother explicitly told them to. Astrid’s exact words are “No. No! Listen, I don’t know what’s going on here, but you take your orders from me. Are we clear on that?” Eventually, she does come around, but it’s undeniable that she refused the order from her superior. And it’s not as if she didn’t know, the player had to tell her the words the Night Mother told them to confirm that they were indeed the Listener. In Cicero’s journals, it tells us that nobody but higher ups such as himself and Astrid knew these words. Cicero as her keeper, and Astrid as the leader.

Edit: Passage from Cicero’s Journals, in reference to what I said about only Higher Ups knowing the words

4th of Evening Star, 4E 189 Today, Rasha declared himself Listener, claiming the Night Mother spoke to him at last. But when questioned, he could not name the Binding Words. Liar! Deceiver! His charade must not stand.

Tenet IV. Never steal the possessions of a Dark Brother or Dark Sister. To do so is to invoke the Wrath of Sithis.

Astrid tells you to go through Cicero’s room and steal his journals. That’s how we know he went to the Dawnstar sanctuary.

Tenet V. Never kill a Dark Brother or Dark Sister. To do so is to invoke the Wrath of Sithis.

Need I even say it? Astrid commands you to kill Cicero at the Dawnstar Sanctuary, which you may or may not do as the player.

I love the writing of the questline, it’s chefs kiss

Astrid: the most important thing when fulfilling contracts is to have fun and be yourself

Redoing some old headcannons so here is

Dark brotherhood birthday!

General headcannons with GN reader sfw and fluff

Pre falkreath destruction

If anyone were to throw a birthday party in the dark brotherhood it would be Cicero

I think he just looks for any excuse to hang out with the fellow members due to the fact he’s just lonely tbh

Cicero tries to make it a surprise party and frankly I think most of the members go along with it. The only people I think would be against it would be Nazir or Arnbjorn

Even then Nazir and Arnbjorn would come around tbh

Cicero hires some bards but Astrid does not let them in so he tries to play something and it sucks

Like I think he can play the flute but of corse they don’t have any on hand

I don’t think any member would be like expecting a party but i think most would enjoy it

Personally I don’t think anyone would throw Cicero a party so he just throws one for himself

Post falkreath destruction

At this point I think they appreciate eachother more

The burning of the sanctuary brings everyone a lot closer, learning to appreciate what they have and what they could have lost

Nazir tolerates cicero more than before surprisingly

He still dosent like the guy but he is still apart of their messed up little family

They actually do throw a party for Cicero for his birthday

They don’t go all out but he at least gets a cake and maybe a gift or two

Cicero would be really happy either way with literally anything he gets, he’s just happy he was remembered at this point

I think it’s also an excuse to just drink and party

I don’t think it gets to crazy unless the listener is involved with the planning

Idk maybe sanguine shows up and we get another night to remember

[stellarsightz]

I mean, you really expected the guy who’s been ogling that jester ass 24/7 NOT to do that? This is all your fault, Astrid 🙄

Bonus: a non-blurry version of the blorbos sucking face
