#it would have been so good

[kai-kayo]

A Kanien'kehà:ka belief is that you are both of your parents. They both gave parts of themselves to make a child, and Ratonhnhaké:ton is missing half of himself for most of his life.

Walking in two worlds is how a lot of native kids are taught to navigate the world. It works on so many levels, the templars and assassins, race, and nation.

I often wonder how Patrice Désilets would have handled the storyline because I believe ac3 was going to be his most philosophical ac entry. Hearing the way he talks of truly believing in the creed, I think it would have been much more critical of America. Something the game doesn't do enough of.

Dissecting the Misconceptions Surrounding Connor/Ratonhnhaké:ton

Hey there, fellow Assassin’s Creed enthusiasts and lore lovers. I’ve been working on a composite post to untangle all the misconceptions, misinterpretations, and half-truths about Connor/Ratonhnhaké:ton, his journey, and his role in Assassin’s Creed III. This character, his story, and his motivations are so often misunderstood or overshadowed, and it’s high time we give him the depth and clarity he deserves.

Here’s some of what I want this post to cover: Connor’s Identity as Ratonhnhaké:ton • Breaking down the duality of his identity as both a Kanien’kehá:ka man and an Assassin.

• The cultural nuances of his upbringing and how they shape his worldview.

• Addressing common fan assumptions about his “stoic” demeanor versus his actual emotional and passionate core. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connor’s Relationship with Other Characters

• His dynamic with Achilles: mentorship, respect, and generational misunderstandings.

• His complex relationship with Haytham Kenway: trust, betrayal, and tragedy.

• His role in the Brotherhood and how it reflects his ideals of justice and freedom. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Historical Context and Its Role in His Story

• Exploring how ACIII depicts the American Revolution through Connor’s eyes.

• Dissecting the balance (or imbalance) between historical storytelling and Connor’s personal arc.

• How Ubisoft’s narrative decisions impact how players perceive his importance to the overarching story. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Misinterpretations and Fan Perception

• Tackling the "boring" label and where that perception comes from.

• Why Connor’s moral compass is so important, even if it doesn’t lead to the “flashiest” decisions.

• How his unique position as an Indigenous protagonist adds layers to his narrative that are often overlooked. -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Connor’s Legacy in the Assassin’s Creed Universe

• His influence on the Creed, especially regarding justice, truth, and freedom.

• Where he stands in comparison to other Assassins in the series.

• What the fandom can learn from re-evaluating his story with fresh eyes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This isn’t just my project—it’s a collective effort to shine a light on the richness of Connor’s character and story. If you’re passionate about this topic, message me or reply here. I’d love help with research, writing, or just brainstorming ideas. Whether you’re well-versed in the series or love deep dives into narrative analysis, there’s space for everyone in this project.

Let’s give Ratonhnhaké:ton the attention he’s always deserved.

If it wasn’t for the vsc we could’ve had some intense Charlos racing until the finish line

Me when I remember such a good part of a posted story that I forgot to write in there.

Every time I think about Prisma Illya, I mourn the fact we could have had Rin and Luvia instead……

I am so sad Danhausen is still out because this? This would be the best blind tag team match up.

Tawky Tawny in the DCEU is by all accounts a regular kitten... how do you imagine him getting powers? or do you think they'll meet a talking tiger who reminds them of their cat and doesn't have a name yet? (he needed more screentime)

Honestly, i think that the DCEU was just name dropping Tawky Tawny for Easter egg brownie points. But if we assume that kitten does become the Tawky Tawny we know and love, I think that he would get his powers/anthropomorphic features via the magic of the Rock of Eternity.

One possibility is that they bring kitten Tawny to the Rock, but he gets loose and somehow manages to be affected by a loose magical item the Shazamily didn't think to secure or he ends up going through one of the doors to a world that is full of anthropomorphic animals and gets transformed into one. By the time the Shazamily find him, he's already been outfitted with a suit and is happily partaking in "human" activities so they make sure he gets to stay in his new form.

(I also agree he deserved more screentime)

Everyday I’m sad that we didn’t get the bad girl trio of Nimue, Morgana, and Morgause

[inke-ri]

I know TOTK wasn't even a possibility in the creators' minds when they made BOTW, let alone its story, but. Consider. The dragon mission in Lanayru with the Light Dragon instead.

forever sad that we never got to see Remy & Ardent & Serth & Fin & the Naysayer: Quest To Fuck Up That Squid

[picture-me-in-the-trees]

we could have had it all (x-men origins: magneto)

[jensensitive]

it's really hard to pick a worst thing about the finale but definitely up there is how the idea that Dean's love of cas was just Chuck's influence would be an entirely valid reading of it

[sugarglazed]

sometimes I think about my abandoned Jamie + physical touch fic and I get a little sad
