My collection of the Legendary cards from the Assassins Creed MTG set. I attempted to put them in game order.

“See Mon Cheri…I told you we didn’t need to pay for one of those expensive cat sitters….”

Historical pirates Mary Read & Anne Bonny (+Rackham) original designs, I have been thinking quite a lot about them these days. Bonus: a little bit of Assassins Creed Black Flag because I liked their designs in this.

Assassin's Creed 4 AU where Edward Kenway is the sage

[teecupangel]

Imagine if u combined the Des gets transported to the past in his bartending clothes au with the corset/piercings au. A lot of ancestors could quite possibly end up very scandalized/flustered lol

The AUs in question: The Corset with Piercing AU The Time Hopping Bartender Desmond AU from @fanworldbuildingfun and @twitcherpated

Not to mention, Desmond would be super confused and so lost in this one since bartender!Desmond was yanked before he started reliving his ancestors’ memories in the Animus.

Altaïr and Haytham would definitely be scandalized. Ezio and Connor would definitely be flustered.

You know who wouldn’t?

Captain Edward James Kenway, that’s for sure.

He’s a pirate. He’s seen the weirdest shite out in the sea and he has the modesty of a drunk goose honking as it steals your wallet and beer.

He would see Desmond with his corset + bartender outfit and piercing and would be like “How much?”

“Not a whore, buddy.”

“Shame.”

Man, can you just imagine Desmond settling in Nassau because none of the pirates ask any questions to where he’s from or why he acts a bit strange?

Desmond being best friends with Anne and Mary?

Mary getting Anne and Desmond to join her as copirates and Desmond not even realizing that he’s already an Assassin by association?

Mary, Anne, and Desmond being the dreaded bringers of bi-disaster on the sea?

Desmond’s inclusion in their crew being enough to keep them from getting arrested?

Mary living to be a mother to her daughter? Anne’s child actually being born alive because there was less stress? Desmond being the favorite uncle of those two children???

Edward wondering if he was the father or if Desmond was the father???

Desmond staying with the Kenways to help Edward with his business since he doesn’t want to be a pirate anymore but also doesn’t want to stay in the field like Mary???

Haytham calling Desmond ‘Uncle Desmond’.

Desmond accidentally preventing the Kenway tragedy and everyone gets to live!!!

Part 3 of Rocky/Creed memes (Part 1, Part 2)

I'm a slut for historical fiction but also i hate it because then I get interested in the person being dramatized and then I look it up and know how the story will end

Or conversely, I already know and am already interested in the person being dramatized and then I have to watch in agony as the drama gets it wrong

The case of Jennifer Scott

Something that has haunted me since I finished the Black Flag game and novel all those years ago is: What the fuck happened between Edward meeting Jenny and the events of AC: Forsaken?

Chronologically, AC: Forsaken came first, and then the Black Flag game and novel. We have Haytham's perspective, we are introduced to Jenny as someone who's upset that their father wouldn't train her as an assassin and, ostensibly, Edward and Tessa just want to marry off. Haytham is a bit of an unreliable narrator, because the adults try not to argue in front of him, so we don't know if getting rid of Jenny is what Edward really wanted, but the idea that she doesn't belong in the household is pretty well-established at this point.

Decades down the line, after Reginald Birch kills their father and Haytham saves his sister, Jenny says in her own words that that was the case:

"I hated him. All his talk of freedom—spiritual and intellectual freedom—didn’t extend to me, his own daughter. There was no weapons training for me, remember? No ‘Think differently’ for Jenny. There was just ‘Be a good girl and get married to Reginald Birch."

Then Black Flag the video game releases a year later in October 2013, and Black Flag the novel releases in December 2013 two months later. It's already been well-established that Edward was a flawed father to Jenny.

The Black Flag video game ends with this girl having the guts to travel across the fucking ocean all alone to meet a father she's never met. She's the milestone. She's Edward's commitment to a new life and fostering a child's view of the world.

Let's look at the Black Flag novel. This man addresses his first-person life story (the novel's narrative framing) to Jenny. Like Haytham does with Ratohnhaké:ton, he tells her his background, and is even honest with how was cast out by his own mother when he came back to Wales. Oliver Bowden wrote out Edward's adoration and willingness to stick with his daughter knowing full well of the eventual gap in their relationship.

Meta-wise, we know the writers probably wanted to make Edward as flawed as possible, and also tragedy is like candy to Ube Softee.

In-universe, what the fuck happened between the events of Black Flag and Forsaken to make Edward neglect Jenny?

Maybe while he was trying to rebuild his life, he couldn't spend as much time with her as he wanted. And when Tessa came into the picture, and then Haytham, well. Even if you still love your kids equally, the way you treat them is different. Jenny was probably neglected.

I'm not dissecting this in the context of Edward-drinks-respect-women-juice or whether or not you can call him a feminist, because I think those are really broad terms for someone who's lived in at least three different worlds with different rules all before he's 40. That deserves its own post.

But it seems wild to me that Edward -- someone who married a woman who matched his energy and stood up to drunken assholes to help other people; someone who in his own words respected Mary Read more than anything; someone who took counsel from Anne Bonny and trusted her to be his quartermaster -- wouldn't train his ballsy daughter to be an Assassin, and instead groom his son to be one instead. Where did that double-standard come from?

Did he want to protect his child from that world? Maybe he changed his mind by the time Haytham came along, but it was too late for Jenny.

It could go back to how he neglected Caroline too. He left to seek his fortune, out of selfish personal glory but also because she'd given up her inheritance to live a humble life he was ashamed to put her into. And because she eventually left him because all he could do was dream about it. He left his parents -- and in a sense, his wife -- to chase his dreams. Maybe that pattern repeated with his daughter. Once he started building a new life in England, with a new woman, there just wasn't space to consider training her anymore.

I think he decided on a certain life for her -- married, with a good reputation in high society -- and dismissed her when she wanted to become an Assassin, because he'd lived that life and didn't want it for her. Even though...that's incredibly myopic of him. Did he really think that the girl who, as a kid who'd just lost her mother, crossed a pirate-infested ocean to be with him would want to be a housewife? She said herself to Haytham:

"I once told you that our lives were mapped out for us, remember? ...I was born to serve men, and serve men is what I have done."

And did he really, truly just want her out of his life when she got older? Or was forcing marriage on her a way to ensure she lived in comfort, the way he wanted for Caroline?

And here's the part where we could comment on misogyny -- maybe he felt that he had to protect the women in his family, and couldn't wrap his head around the fact that she could decide for herself. Mary Read and Anne Bonny were pirates he met and befriended. Caroline and Jenny are his family, under his charge.

I think it's a combination of selfish and selfless reasons, of course, but I wish I could have seen what happened while Jenny grew up.
