untitled asscreed & one piece crossover

Desmond Miles dies using the Eye in an attempt to save the world form the Sun. When he awakens it’s to a completely different world, filled with pirates and marines and powers that seem magical. The marines find him, and he awakens when a pirate crew decides to attack the marines and ends up finding him and freeing him. At least he’s lucky enough that Edward Kenway was a pirate, even if one very different to the crew he’s now a part of.

this goes in a couple different ways, too.

first idea was that the OP world is Earth after the Calamity, so DFs are what happens when the Pieces of Eden get assimilated into fruits- thus they affect Desmond by making him have the whole ‘golden circuitry’ thing whenever he touches a DF user and can potentially… temporarily use their abilities? Steal them? Idfk, ok. Something alongside those lines. Whatever. Or maybe he can get parts of the Piece of Eden they came from originally? And like, Mythical Zoans are Apples or pieces of the Eye and they affect him more, Logias can be Apples or the Scepter or the Belt, Paramecias are the Shroud or the Scepter, etc. So now he has to go touch enough DF users to have a whole Piece, and they’re tattoo like, gradually appearing on his torso until he has the whole Piece and they can leave his skin and appear in his hands, bc i apparently thought it was cool? i mean, i wasn’t wrong, it sounds dope.

so there was that, and the idea that genetic memories can result in a pseudo-reincarnation, so their memories make some renown Assassins make a resurgence. i thought about making it like they only half-remember them and get the full blast when Desmond- key that he is- comes back. 

i made a plan for this, y’all. i had a list. it’s mostly ‘cause i’m kinda crazy, but jeez. looking back i was way too willing to actually write this out. sadly i probably won’t.

1-      desmond dies and lays forgotten in the grand temple. marines/pirates find him and decide to kidnap him bc he has golden circuitry under his skin and his arm looks a bit weird and who the fuck knows. then the withebeards find him and save him. he becomes friends with most of them but gets along w/ace pretty well (weird childhood buddies!)

2-     thatch dies via teach, ace sets out to get revenge and desmond goes ‘what the hell, why not’ and goes with him. during the trip, he starts getting weird dreams about the other assassins (originally this was just ezio but i think it’d be better if he’d get snatches of what each of them is doing, based on how close to them he was physically) but sees hallucinations about Edward instead and tires not to let it affect him. ace is busy w/revenge, but can tell smth is off. they arrive at an island in which desmond sees a wanted poster of himself next to one of another man in a with hood called ‘the assassin’. he has the same scar. cliffhanger. (this could be either ezio or altair, but it just proves that he’s not the only one from the Brotherhood here)

3-     we change pov to ace, who is watching his new friend/brother become increasingly frantic about this ‘assassin’ and tells him some about his family to try to distract him from the dreams he keeps getting and the things he sees. ace keeps getting more worried about his hallucinations bc they can’t find any doctor to do anything about it and kureha left the island- then someone in sakura island tells him that the strawhats have ‘the doctor’s apprentice’  so now ace is trying to both hunt teach and find someone to heal desmond so we see him having a moral debate about what’s more important to him- his revenge or his family’s lives.

4-     we see a mysterious scene w/ ezio in which he talks to someone- nico robin- and we reach the conclusion that he wants to join crocodile for some reason??? which is that he wants to get info and money but when he sees what’s going on he plans on murdering croco. the strawhats end up interrupting him anyway so when he sees robin sneak into the ship he goes ‘eh, well, whatever’ and goes with her in a weird parallel arc that mirrors desmond’s decision to go with ace, except that desmond goes because he’s more of a passive person but was worried about ace and ezio goes because he’s an active person who wants to know why; why is he here? why can he remember? why is he not dead? why does he keep thinking about some strange man he sees in his dreams sometimes? he decides his new “dream” is to get justice for everyone- remake the brotherhood- when he learns about the crew’s stories.  

5-     we come back to the disaster duo, who are now each other’s other half in being a complete and total mess. desmond is still hallucinating Edward and his search for ‘the assassin’ finally gets him a place: alabasta. they arrive just as the strawhats are in the middle of defeating everyone, so ace decides to butt in and desmond just doesn’t want to see his friend get eviscerated so he helps out in the shadows. desmond is quiet and kinda unassuming the whole time that ace is talking to the strawhats so they don’t really notice him much or anything. this makes it much better for when robin shows up, introduces herself and then ezio steps out and does the same (strawhats: ‘what!? another one!??’) and then asks “and who is that gentleman, if I may ask?” to which desmond steps out. “desmond miles. I’m the key. glad to finally meet you properly, prophet.” cliffhanger.

6-    look the first part of this is various ppl just going

then some weird explaining and desmond finally getting someone to look at his head when ace remembers that “oh yeah btw my friend’s been having vivid hallucinations for a couple of months/weeks. is that normal or…? because he keeps telling me not to worry about it and that it’s been happening for a couple of months but im pretty sure I should be worried about it” and chopper trying not to have an attack then and there while the strawhats that have braincells just look horrified .

7-     so moving on from explanations arc- now we reach…uh. ace and desmond separating but promising to check in with each other every day, because I think that’d be a neat way to cut between scenes- they’re all retellings of what hijinks went down that they’re giving each other, and occasionally they comment on some detail and it gives you a break for bickering from all the drama. they buy snails ig.

  this is also when i ran out of plot, but! i do have like, two pages of notes about what some of the others are up to, so i’m gonna add that at some point later. 

(if anyone sees this [which i doubt, but you never know] and wants to use it, feel free! just @ me!)

*rolls into your askbox* hi i am so glad to see you on the dash again , ily! c: ( this is isaac btw fghjkl )

Issac !! I’m posting this publicly just so I can remind people that you’re the best bloody person in the world. I know I’ve been scarce on discord and on tumblr in general, but you are always such a delight to talk to. From Ezio, to Bae/Neal, to Cesare (spelling? oops i might have spelled it wrong and for that i’m sorry haha) and everyone in-between, you are such a blast to write and plot with. And I mean.. James Bond. Really? Really?? I’ve loved what I’ve seen you do with him and I can’t wait to see more. I always wanted to write daniel craig’s bond and give him the affection he deserves, but it was one of those ‘ man i wish i could, but i don’t actually have the muse’ kind of things. I am SO glad that someone as amazing as you is bringing him to life on my dash!! As soon as I catch up on some things and really get a feel for this idiot of mine again .. I’m totally gonna hit you up for a bond and killian plot. Though, tbh, I’m sure I’ll send in some kind of meme before that xD In short, I love you Issac and I’m so glad you’re still around. Its beautiful and talented people like you who made me want to come back. All my love and appreciation forever <33

Best of My 2018 - Video Games

Games I Played: (PS4)

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

Rise of the Tomb Raider

Life is Strange

Detroit: Become Human

Marvel’s Spiderman

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey

Favorite Game: Assassin’s Creed:Odyssey (I played as Kassandra)

So, I use to love Assassin’s Creed when I was younger, I absolutely adored the Ezio Trilogy. Brotherhood is still by far one of my favorite video games ever, but I lost interest in the franchise about halfway through Black Flag and haven’t played an AC game since, until Odyssey. And I loved it! It’s so many of the things I use to love about Assassin’s Creed, but it’s also really different (improved) with a whole lot of new RPG elements (which aren’t normally my cup of tea). Much of my love is due to Kassandra who is just such a rich and real and awesome character to play. I can’t really speak to the awesomeness of Alexios. But Kassandra is one of my favorite new characters of the year across any and all mediums. 

Best Storyline: Marvel’s Spiderman

There’s no competition here for me. This game was a very close 2nd to AC: Odyssey for my favorite game this year, but was ultimately beat out (mostly just because I love Kassandra more than Peter. Sorry not sorry), This game has everything going for it. It’s beautiful, the gameplay and web-swinging is perfect, but by far what makes it stand out is the amazing writing/plot/villains. It’s just so so good. And so true to character. This game tells a better Spiderman story than most of the movies did tbh. Nothing but love for this one.

Breakout Game (New/Non-franchise): Detroit: Become Human

Oh this game is so cool! Set in a not so distant future where androids perform most menial tasks for society and begin making human workers moot, tensions run high and revolution is on the horizon. From the creators of Heavy Rain, this game was an unexpected pleasure for me. You play as three characters (androids) who all have their own parts to play in the rising sentience of their kind. Marcus, the revolutionary. Kara, the survivor. And Connor, the cop hunting his own kind. Every decision leads you down a different path and every path leads to an explosive ending. The gameplay, plot, decision making, graphics were all fantastic. Honestly, no complains about this one and in a weaker year for the gaming industry this would have likely been my favorite. 

DLC That’s Totally Worth It: Marvel’s Spiderman DLC The City That Never Sleeps

The awesome story continues! Exploring characters that were a bit neglected in the main game and tying up loose ends. This Season Pass is worth every penny. 

Most Disappointing Game: Shadow of the Tomb Raider

So I absolutely loved and barreled through the 1st two games in this trilogy. I thought they were awesome. They got me into Lara Croft in other mediums (Comics, Movies). And naturally I couldn’t wait for the 3rd installment. I pre-ordered the Steelbook Croft edition for a whopping $89 (yeah, I have regrets) and was completely and utterly disappointed. The game as a whole, but particularly the writing/plot, was just so incredibly bland and unremarkable. And felt way shorter than the other two, but I may just be imagining that. It wasn’t terrible or glitchy, but it was just so disappointing compared to the 1st two installments and every other game I’ve played this year. The main storyline only just barely made sense, Lara’s character development was non-existent, and they expanded the exploration aspect of the gameplay at the cost of actual combat (which I guess some people actually liked/wanted, but I am definitely not one of them). This game left me so disinterested I have yet to even check out the DLC that came with my $89 purchase (it was released late btw). Also should be noted, the DLC doesn’t include any extra story missions, just extra tombs to explore. Thrilling, right?  :/ (I’m salty)

Games I Missed This Year, But Want to Play:

Red Dead Redemption 2

Hitman 2

Life is Strange 2
