Wayward Guide: Politics And People

Okay, so I know we're, like, weeks past Wayward Guide in Rewatchers, but I can't stop thinking about the politics of it all. I always forget that, next to Black Friday, Wayward is probably the most political work in this extended fandom of ours. And it's not just the story's local election, or even the scapegoating of the werewolves for political gain. It's the individual people and the roles they play in the disaster that hits Connor Creek.

It's Desmond Brewer, who has power, who has influence, who cares about others. Who has spent so long hiding himself, losing ground bit-by-bit, watching his pack struggle to recover as the outside world moves on, that he no longer believes in his ability to change anything. At least not until it's too late.

It's the Irons family, who have been failed so thoroughly by the system--abandoned without education or support--that in their fear and desperation they will turn to anything that claims to promise something new. They are being exploited and used by elitists who know or care nothing about them, but why should the Irons even notice? Neglected to exploited is not that far to fall...

And mostly, to be honest, it's Sybilus Silver II, who advocates for himself and his pack in his political and personal life, but spends his professional days at the beck and call of those who would destroy him. Because it is his job, and the capitalist system he lives under, and how can a young man with a stutter say no to that? So instead he fights back in every other way he can, but it's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough, and suddenly his friends are dying while half of his neighbors unknowingly scream for his blood.

And these people, they are us. Desmond is people doomscrolling on twitter, too tired to fight for small change because what does anything even matter? The Irons are these written-off conservative small towns, making terrible choices that only serve to alienate them further when we should be pouring resources into giving their next generation a fighting chance to be better. And Sybilus is us every day, buying something on Amazon because we have to save that bit of money, driving a car instead of taking public transportation because we simply don't have the time, making all these small sacrifices and concessions because we have no other choice.

And, it's like, fuck. Yeah. The Tin Can Bros really nailed that part.

Little more than shadows WIP

[sc4llywag]

Since I got Tumblr and have free range to rant however I want, its time for the Assassin's Creed main characters and how they walk post!!!

With each of the games, they change the main characters walking animation to fit their vibe and I need to be able to study them beheehe

Desmond

I don't have too much to say about Desmond's other than his is simple and similar to Ezio's and Altaïr's and I like to think that this is due to the bleeding effect(it happened to me too I walk like the assassin's all the time) his is a little more confined and he keeps his arms closer to himself so he's very typical in the way he walks

Altaïr

In his walk he has a sway to his hips and steady hands(probably to keep himself ready for any assassination), but goddamn the SWAY I never noticed it.

His shoulders also sway with his walk and I love how fluid he is in general, this ties back to his robes for me and how flowy they are to show the grace of an assassin in high profile but when low profile they stay to his sides and he's all in the shadows and I REALLY love that about him.

Ezio

This gif is all I could find so i can't really remember if Ezio's walk is different in Ac2 from Altaïr's because ubisoft is the king of recycling things but whatever. He still has the outward stance but I do notice his head is pointed low to try and keep himself hidden(shadows shit be like) but ofc hes holding the apple here so it's hard to tell if he's trying to swing his arm a lot lol, anyway body language is important to Ezio so hes very good at looking broody as well as fluid in his movements

Connor

(Walk Cycle Research | PKlover4078)

My man my man my man my man😍‼️‼️

The way Connor walks with his hands stretched out and then clenching his fists every moment because he's always ready for a fight goddamn this MF could take me in an alleyway and I'd be happy. I'd like to note with this gif, it doesn't show his slow slow walk and I remember it pretty well, he has a slight cautious aura in his walk, he's really careful in his foot placement(I think) and he's super awesome and I love him a lot. Since we have him running I'd like to talk about that too. He has such an efficient sprint it's so mesmerizing, he keeps his head low and just fuckin vrooms across the colonies<3

Aveline

You can barely see her here bc the damn community doesn't care for Aveline much but I like her even tho I haven't played Liberation, I enjoy the way she walks in a proper manner and she's got that strut the runway strut is everything. I also like how she has a wider swing in her arms, more carefree and comfortable.

Edward

This is such a great quality gif thanks so much Ac fandom!!

Anyway, I really love the difference in Edwards walk compared to the rest of the assassins because he's a pirate, he hasn't had the teaching of grace and secrecy. Therefore his walk is staggering in his footwork but still proper bc he's a sword fighter and very good at it. In a longer gif you'd be able to tell but his footing is a little messy, showing that drunken sailor pirate personality shows in his walk. He has a close arm swing due to him always needing to be close to his weapons, ready for a fight(like his grandson<3)

Haytham

I can barely see how he's walking but I'm pretty sure he had his hand on his sword hilt which says so much abt his character, again always being ready for a fight. He has a very straight posture due to his pompous nature, quick in his form to be efficient because why walk if you don't look proper and efficient?

Shay

Ok he's a Templar and so is Haytham but fuck you I love them.

His walk is so GOOD his walk has a heavy step and he's very prominent, got that straight posture again, not much to say about his arm sway other than the added shoulder sway, love that for him bc he's just so intimidating.

(For reasons I'm not doing Arno, Evie, Jacob, Kassandra, and Eivor since I haven't played their games)

Bayek

Bayek's walk is very different from every other assassin and that makes me love him so much more. He feels very carefree and relaxed but when in combat good lord does he go off!! He puts more sway in his arms than his hips and that's probably why he has a combat centered walk, like Edward.

If you've reached the end thank you for reading my rambling ass get over excited over walk cycle animations :) follow for more rambling!!

Diversity wins! All Assassin’s Creed playable characters are bisexuals!

(i made this before naoe and yasuke are available to play but they’re also bisexuals because i said so)
