cush saying macbeth is her shakespeare blorbo now that she's played opposite david in their production but she doesn't care about the other macbeths she's seen . she's so real for that

had to combine my two biggest interests rn at some point

felix knowing that wash is wash in s11 is a minor but extremely annoying plot hole because wash "dying" at the end of s8 was kind of a big deal??? like I'm sure the chairman knew wash wasn't actually dead because if they did an autopsy on maine then they probably did one on "wash" too—but otherwise no one outside of the bgc and carolina should've know that wash is himself. the reds and blues should've pointed their guns at felix when he said "you must be agent washington" and not when he referred to himself as a freelancer.

Miles spotted in DC

Dear S1llyspam,

I don't... care much for Steel Samurai, but...

I do enjoy season 5 and the episode "Dawn of the Samurai." And yes, I did get an autograph from Mr. Powers.

(Thankfully with my cosplay so I wouldn't make a fool of myself.)

okay, so i'll make this super short and brief:

here are some general posts i've made in the past about the academy

the academy itself (what it is, etc) / an aesthetic for just a general vibe / the library (which exists in the academy, all schools have a good library)

ignore all the stuff about my ocs on there (that man / goro, ji-hun, deng). this verse was originally made for them to be in it, but it was also made to be my solution for a magic school au that caters to all powers / all creatures / all timelines while primarily being set in a modern age by default. it's a "pocket world" that has to be entered by invitation, but there are "ways out" ... so to speak?

what's open: student roles, staff roles, parent roles? anything that can be affiliated to an academy, i assume students and staff are most common. staff is anything from a teacher to the hospital wing to the cafeteria / kitchen staff to whatever.

what do you have to do to make a verse: just add your character in. that's all. whether they're already inclined or it's an AU doesn't matter. just have fun with it.

i have a small roster, so here's where my cast fits: read more because it's long, but only relevant depending on the character you're interacting with? so not a necessary read to make your verse, if that makes sense lmao

josh and his family: likely the washington family is all "gifted" in some regard, usually psychic stuff i would think? given their affiliation to having a 'curse on their house' already, that vibe? but it's open. josh's powers are here. he is best friends with chris hartley (ottersden).

safi: she is josh's cousin from her mother's side, and she is shapeshifter. she is best friends with maya okada (ottersden). note: for those not familiar with double exposure, safi is not actually josh's cousin, but she is in all his LIS AUs, and i like that, so i kept it.

nathan and his family: equal investors with equally long histories. their powers lie mostly in fire (literally). the men usually get the power, the women are there to help continue the prescott line. this isn't always the case, but that's generally how it goes. nathan was gifted / his sister was not. he is best friends with victoria chase (ottersden).

sean and bob (josh's dad) have heavy monetary investments here, as well as family histories and legacies to uphold, which creates a natural tension between josh and nathan, who are of the same age and year.

mark: a teacher now / former student. nathan's mentor. he teaches courses that primarily work in psychic visionary / image projection / etc. anything that you could equal a 'camera' to in a 'magic sense'. he's still colorblind, he sees 'auras', and overall is 'psychically inclined', and is actively using his gifts to manipulate people. he is still affiliated with sean prescott. given that the 'real world' also exists, thus these students exist in it outside of the academy / there is no divide between 'gifted' and non-gifted folks, mark does have a camera, and does actively teach photography seminars to students interested in extra-curriculars (such as max).

chloe price: she's in the same year as josh, nathan, and presumably rachel (who could also go missing in this verse tbh). she's not ... actually gifted. she sort of someone that 'makes things happen', especially when combined with the right people. she's a conduit for people with powers, and is actively 'good for them'. she's not really an exception, she just doesn't have an 'outright power'. this does make her feel isolated sometimes from the other students.

matt: a student, known as a 'perfect specimen'. strong, fast, and essentially made to be 'a superhuman'. he's like a superman, but he can't fly, though he is very fast. he's sort of the 'well rounded, but average powers' guy. still impressive, but he's not shooting lasers out of his eyes necessarily, but he has the major ones: super strength, super speed, and super stamina. he pairs with emily types, who are more thinkers.

miles: a former student / a current teacher(?) / an active problem on campus. miles can become possessed easily thus by the time he is a student, he is actively possessed ie is THE HOST. he can switch back and forth willingly ... most of the time. whatever abilities he has he can only use when he is 'the host' thus whatever those powers entails, miles maintains.

Submitted by @saberamane

Saw this artwork by astarcis and my mind immediately went ‘what would the ancestors do if they found this, and it was actually Desmond reincarnated after the eye?’ Like the various animal Desmond’s people have submitted.

Altair would probably find it fascinating, and Maria would not want it around the kids at all, it’s at least partly snake, what if it bit the children? Jokes on Maria though, the children love this strange abomination, and Desmond in kind loves kids. And with his knowledge, he’d be able to stay behind and protect Malik and Sef when the others leave to kill Genghis Khan. Give Abbas an agonizing death with his venom or something.

I feel Ezio would probably find him somewhere and take him to Leonardo. He’d maybe say something stupid to Leo like 'what kind of dog is this? I’ve never seen such a thing before.’ And Leo, bless his soul, would be like 'you can’t be that stupid Ezio. Thats not a dog. I don’t know what that is. Where did you find it?’ 'I’m going to keep him. He’s kinda cute.’ Desmond is very sweet to Maria and Claudia, which just cements Ezio’s thoughts that he is some kind of weird dog. It wags it’s tail and everything like a dog. Even if it does swallow it’s food whole…

Ratonhnhaké:ton and his tribe probably think of him as a forest spirit or something. They’d definitely know he wasn’t 'natural’ and therefore would try to honor him so as to not bring misfortune on the tribe by being disrespectful.  Desmond would hang around the temple a lot, trying to find a way to destroy Juno, or at least make it so she can’t communicate with Ratonhnhaké:ton. And Charles Lee would definitely die horribly by his poison bite before he could kill the tribe. Once Ratonhnhaké:ton was older, Desmond would probably start following him around more, leaving the temple more often. Helping with hunts and such. Of course, the tribe would then think Ratonhnhaké:ton was the 'chosen one’ or something by the spirit and would start to ask him what Desmond wanted for tribute or something lol.

(The creature is called a 'nightstalker’ from fallout new vegas, i’ve never played that series myself, but it seems to have a lot of interesting creatures from the nuclear fallout that occurred.)

Any additional thoughts or head-cannon’s?

==============

(Additions from teecup)

Well, first and foremost... don’t look at the actual nightstalker from Fallout New Vegas. They don’t... look as cute as the one above. XD

Also, here’s the tumblr post of that artwork

As for additional headcanons and thoughts:

I like to think that Desmond is one of those nightstalkers that can turn invisible and the first time he does it, everybody panicked because they thought he flatout disappeared.

Sef definitely loves Desmond the most as he grew up with Desmond being both his guard dog and babysitter. Sef’s daughters also love Desmond and likes to hug him. Unlike Maria who had been worried, Sef absolutely encourages his daughters to play with Desmond.

Malik’s son, Tazim, was once dared to tug Desmond’s tail. Just to be a jerk, Desmond howled loudly and pretended to die for dramatic effect. It traumatized Tazim so badly because he honestly believed he killed Desmond. Desmond felt super bad especially since no one could stop Tazim from crying even after Desmond showed that he’s alive and well.

Desmond didn’t think it would be a big deal since Darim’s preferred method of stopping him from doing something stupid was to tug his tail anyway.

Leonardo would definitely draw sketches of Desmond which would baffle historians in later years. Leonardo is also the only person to wonder how Desmond reproduces (Nightstalkers lay eggs… and… uuuhhh… every nightstalker has a chance to drop eggs if you kill them so… I’m not saying Desmond can lay eggs… I’m just saying… the possibility exists?)

Desmond mostly communicates with growls and whimpers but whenever it’s time to poison someone, he hisses and rattles.

The preferred poison of the Assassins was based on his venom thanks to Altaïr’s studies. This means that old Assassin families are immune to his venom. This includes Haytham.

Desmond definitely destroyed the crystal skull that Juno uses to communicate with Ratonhnhaké:ton’s tribe by playing with it like it’s a ball of yarn. The villagers just assumed it was the will of the spirits.

Whenever anyone asks Ratonhnhaké:ton what Desmond wants for tribute, Ratonhnhaké:ton always answers that the best tribute is a kill by their hunters that will be shared with the tribes as some kind of festivity. It took months for Desmond to be able to explain it to Ratonhnhaké:ton using charades and Desmond was actually just saying ‘a meal together��.

George Washington cannot get near Ratonhnhaké:ton because Desmond hisses and rattle any time he tries... Haytham also gets the hissing and rattling treatment.

Music of TURN

Round 27

She’s Like the Swallow

3.04: Hearts and Minds

Another quick key analysis since I also didn't do it for this one. I believe it's g minor and it just avoids using the 6th which is somewhat common for folk music.

g minor is associated with: Discontent, uneasiness, worry about a failed scheme; bad-tempered gnashing of teeth; in a word: resentment and dislike. The key for the sentimental, but not the passionate. Which I think reflects this scene perfectly

Ten Thousand Miles

3.03: Benediction

I've already done my analysis so it's up to the people
