IdiSil Headcanon;

Their friendship took off surprising quick as Silver was always willing to listen to Idia nerd out and took a genuine interest even when Silver had no idea what he was talking about. Silver liked the insight Idia brought to things, especially the tactical mindset he has. He also admires Idia’s ability to create unimaginable things.

Did you finish the first chapter? @minnesota-fats

Some ghost cats (hehehe)

This is something i made for a fic im writing where Danny and Elle (Dani) get adopted by Catwoman! I’ll link it once i finish the first chapter!

their names are Silvershroud and Catgirl

Banter is a chatot who is laid back, is sarcastic, and is the supporting role in the trio. She is great at distracting and annoying humans to lure them away from their valuables. Jazz was her pet name (she was released because she cannot keep a steady tempo) and now goes by Banter!

I figured I would post to the website proper some of my written responses to the questions in this survey, because I put enough time and effort into them and I feel like sharing:

What do you like most about Universes Beyond: Assassin's Creed?

There's a two-person pirate legend whose name I forget who kinda looks like me and my girlfriend, down to our hair colors. So that was neat. Oh, also Haystack is funny.

I looked it up - Mary Read and Anne Bonny. The card is very whatever, but the art looks so eerily similar to me and my girlfriend I'm surprised to not be receiving royalties.

What do you dislike about Universes Beyond: Assassin's Creed?

Literally everything else! Assassin's Creed is a truly *bizarre* franchise to pull from. It has barely any aesthetic similarity to any existing Magic cards, and yet lacks enough of its own aesthetic identity to be an interesting departure. The art of "Guy in jeans and a hoodie doing parkour among skyscrapers" that appears on Desmond Miles is too obviously modern-world to look like Magic, even in an aesthetically unique set like Neon Dynasty. But it also paradoxically doesn't *not* look like Magic because it doesn't *look* like anything. It's just... some guy in jeans and a hoodie. I almost feel like I could squint and see the Nike logo on his sneakers. The art is so inoffensive, and the effect is so "yeah, that sure is what Desmond would do if he was a Magic card" that it feels like an eminently amazing presentation of just... nothing. Of mediocrity. And not intentional mediocrity - Desmond isn't some draft common - but mediocrity in that he is perhaps the most artistically perfect recreation of Some Guy that this game has ever seen. And in some respects, it's a hilariously perfect recreation of one of the most universally bland, personality-less, uninteresting video game protagonists of all time. A character *so* boring that when his story wrapped up, his successor in later stories was *literally* a faceless character without even a name, and this was generally regarded as a positive decision.

Every card in this set feels like that.

None of them feel cool or innovative. I have no desire to play any of them, *even though* cards like Brotherhood Regalia and Excalibur, Sword of Eden are so blatantly designed to be Commander staples, not unlike Fallout's Silvershroud Costume being Literally Just Better Whispersilk Cloak.

Who is this for? Who was clamoring for *Assassin's Creed,* a series whose best innovations and most interesting moments are LONG behind it, to be adopted into Magic? What individual in the world wants to make Ezio Auditore da Firenze the head of their five-color assassin typal commander deck, featuring (one assumes) primarily other cards from this set? Who can do anything but say "ugh" upon the introduction of the extremely unserious and hyperspecific keyword, "freerunning?"

I am far, far less skilled at this than the endlessly talented creator Spice8Rack and its gift for thought-provoking, philosophical criticism of this greedy, greedy corporation that unfortunately makes some really cool games. But I happened to be rewatching its most recent work - a *fantastically* scathing criticism of the philosophy behind Universes Beyond and capitalism as a whole - when I saw this funny little survey show up on my tumblr dash.

In that work, Spice8Rack made the interesting claim in the beginning that each person it's met who has professed their hatred for Universes Beyond has, while doing so, owned up to their own "exception" to their hatred. That they have, unprompted, volunteered which media property they would genuinely love to see adopted into Magic.

I cannot for the life of me picture the person for whom Assassin's Creed is that property, and honestly? This release, among all others, is the one that most strongly convices me that I personally have no such exception. Even if Wizards of the Coast were to adapt one of my more obscure and cherished favorite franchises into Magic - fuck, if they adapted *my own original and currently-unpublished novels* into Magic - I probably wouldn't like it. This set more than any other has convinced me that the "art" of taking a guy from an established thing and putting that guy on a Magic card where he does the Magic version of the thing he does in his original property has been done in every single way that is interesting, and never will be again. It used to be sort of neat. It used to have a bit of an interesting design space. But now it doesn't, at least not for me, a writer with a game design degree. I cannot for the life of me take my own original characters from my novels and make them into Magic cards that I personally would want to play. At best, I can get some passing enjoyment from that process of translation and then show one of the double-digit number of people in the world who are informed enough about the game and my writing to make them go "oh yeah, that's kinda neat" and then we both would move on from it.

Wizards of the Coast is now paying licensing fees to do this for extremely mediocre media franchises and then selling the cards that result from it as their apparently-primary means of profit, and honestly, I can imagine few things more bleak.

Bonus Screenshot that really sums it all up honestly:

We want to know what you think of Universes Beyond: Assassin's Creed in our latest survey!

Fenwa Teryen I held this secret for as long as I could, but it was found out!! So now we share something inspired by our very favorite version of the Silver Shroud, The Silver-Voiced Fenwa. For the magic you share with the community, Thank you.

Silver Shroud was handsdown one of the best Quests

So fun to do

So here's my Sole Maria as the Silver Shroud herself

The Dreamy Town of Ice Cap 5C00-0019-4790

The dreamy town of Ice Cap by @silvershroud is probably one of the most creative towns I have ever had the pleasure of visiting! Covered by glacial waters, ice and snow, this frozen town dominated entirely by penguins, creates a fun and unique experience with all the atmospheric vibes of the South Pole! I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this wintery ice cap and would definitely recommend paying it a visit, but watch out! It’s a bit cold on the toes!

Lots of pink and bright colors, the town gives a romantic vibe and I love it! You can tell it took a lot of work to build this town, love the details as well

IdiSil Head canon:

Silver is always encouraging Idia trying to build his confidence. Idia fights back against this due to self-hate, but Silver somehow weeds his way into his subconscious and Idia grows to begins to grow more confident as time goes on.

Thank you!

It was actually based off of your au but I was writing a fic and its going a bit differently than i first planed.

She isnt crying but I can see how you thought that. Their bottom lashes, i put them on some characters I draw.

And I named my version of the ghost kittys Catgirl and Silvershroud and I usually call Dani Elle or Ellie cuz it helps me when writing and I think its cute. I also like the Idea that Ellie once she learns more about herself she decides to pick her own name but rather than doing anything drastic she just goes by Ellie. My fav Idea is just people started to assume that Ellie is short for Eleanor and she just goes with it.

Ghost-kitties!!! I adore them!!!

Why thank you, Purrecious! 💚💚💚

This is leader Sylvia, a cross-bred Alolan and Kantonian meowth!

Some rich family bred meowth for the perfect pet but ended up dumping her cause she hatched with a silver coin instead of gold. Once she was on her own in the wild, she decided to steal from humans and give to wild pokemon in need. She wasn't named by her breeders so she eventually named herself Sylvia because despite her breeders not appreciating her coin, she saw herself as beautiful.
