TOP 5 “EZIO’S FAMILY” VERSIONS + TOP 5 TRACKS

Tagged by @peridot-tears

I will say... that I'm not good at explaining music in general (I barely pass my music classes as I'm apparently tonedeaf to high waters)

Ezio's Family

I didn't get any notes that the Ezio's Family that are only qualified for this list are the ones that are in AC games so...

Earth (Assassin's Creed 2)

I love how this starts slow then goes deep before going fast. I knew I had to pick an Ezio Family version from AC2 and it was either the OG Ezio's Family, Venice Rooftops or Earth and I chose Earth because it's the middle ground of the three. It has the fast pace style of Venice and the slow beginning of Ezio's Family. Plus, I like the vocals of this one and the way the music ends feels... uncertain which I think shows the uncertainty of Desmond's future in the present and the mystery that persists in AC2 concerning the 'Prophet' talked about in the Codex.

2. Main Theme/Ezio's Family (AC Identity)

I might have never played the game but goddamn this theme. When the beat drops and it gives a more hard rock version of Ezio's Family theme? I'm sold. I love rock versions of non-rock music and there's just this hint of isolation in this theme that works well with AC Identity's story.

3. Main Theme (AC Rogue)

This just hits differently (which is to be expected for an Assassin's Creed game with a protagonist Assassin turned Templar) and you can feel Shay's Irish roots as well as this feeling of adventure and freedom that has an underlying sadness to it (especially in the vocals).

4. Family (AC Syndicate)

Gonna be honest... it's the violins. I'm a sucker for violins and the violin of this one really hammers in how the title Family isn't meant to be joyful. It's meant to be a prelude to how Evie and Jacob's relationship would end in Syndicate's main story.

5. Venice Rooftop Soul Caliber V Remix

It's a faster version of Venice Rooftop and has that Soul Caliber music-esque addition to it that I just love. Soul Caliber is one of my favorite childhood games and hearing an Ezio Family official remix of a similar vein as the other Soul Caliber stage music? I can't help but love this. (Is this cheating? Probably but... oh well... XD)

Honorable Mention: Odyssey's "Ezio's Family", Russia's Main Theme and Origin's "Main Theme".

Additional Favorite Tracks (in no particular order other than no 1):

Flight Through Jerusalem (Assassin's Creed)

You know it was going to be the top one. It's my most played music in Spotify when I was still using Spotify and it will forever take that spot because I stopped using Spotify (other than podcasts). Why is it my top one? Well, here's my exact reasoning from that Spotify callout post I made last year: Flight Through Jerusalem is a track that manages to show the conflict of Jerusalem during the 3rd Crusades by mixing Gregorian-like chants with a kind of traditional Middle incoherent sounds trying to defend music choices

2. Underground (Assassin's Creed Syndicate)

This one is super specific. I think this could be a really great MV for Assassin's Creed especially the lines of "Loved ones taken long before their work was done" would certainly be about Desmond because fuck Ubisoft, where's our modern day setting Assassin's Creed where Desmond showed he's the ultimate Assassin and successor to his ancestors' wishes and will?

3. Fight Club (Assassin's Creed III)

This is, hands down, my most favorite music in ACIII and it's one that really makes me go "Okay! Let's go do something!". I don't know how else to explain this one other than it's a really fun and motivating song.

4. Masyaf Village (Assassin's Creed)

Okay, this one is more of a personal favorite of mine because it's creepy. There's this just feeling of being unsettled that does not go away the entire song and it's a great music to represent the mystery surrounding the Brotherhood itself. I just love the female vocals of this track. (Sidebar, this can be heard in ACR when Altaïr places the Apple in the library)

5. Altaïr and Darim + Requiescat in Pace (Assassin's Creed Revelations)

Apparently Tumblr has a 10 videos max so here's Requiescat in Pace

Mostly if you listen to "Altaïr and Darim", you would automatically hear Ezio's "Dear Claudia..." and yeah, that's one reason why I picked this one. But the reason why I picked this over AC Revelation's Main Theme? Because this is the music that plays when Darim and Altaïr have their last talk. When Darim tells Altaïr "All that's good in me began with you, father", I lost it. I was just crying. And "Requiescat in Pace"? That's the song that plays when Altaïr takes his final rest and I'm just gone. I'm out for the count. I don't care if it's cheating that I picked two for one spot, I can't separate the two because of the emotions both tracks give me in succession.

Honorable Mention: The High Seas from Black Flag, Fish in the Sea Sea Shanty(which didn't make the cut because it's not an AC original music), When Horns Resound from Valhalla and Rather Death Than Slavery from Unity

Tagging... uuuhh... I guess @saberamane and @fanworldbuildingfun if they'd like to do this XD

So many people who are pro-AI art pretend to be revolutionary in the stupidest way possible. Like this notion that I keep seeing about AI being a tool to empower average people against the artistic elite, even ignoring how tonedeaf it is, is so backwards and pointless.

All of the notions of AI being liberating only exists if you make art restrictive. If you think AI art lets you make something good in spite of your lack of technical skill, you are excluding yourself to let AI art save you, you are limiting quality by defining it only as what is technically skillfull.

The ai art revolution restricts, it establishes a theeshold for what is good based on what is standard, and then tells you not to worry, because technology owned by billionaire tech ceos like elon musk is gonna let you meet the narrowed definition of art.

I am by no means a visual artist, I have taken a single drawing class and haven’t done much else. Nothing I have made will ever end up in the louvre or an art textbook. It’s not gonna be revolutionary or make me famous. A lot of people are gonna think it isn’t good. But I did like making it. I enjoyed the process and it improved my drawing skills. Freedom from the societal standards for art did not come from being able to generate a product that looks like what they want. It came from creating something I wanted to create. Art is innate and it comes from making something, from each decision you make trying to do something, every line drawn and erased. A finished product is not the point, and you are not being subersive by using an algorithm to generate a finished product.

i mean i was indeed thinking from the bride's perspective where it does indeed feel like ur being punished for being violated by being literally forced to marry ur rapist in exchange for HIS freedom, so getting a comment with 0 elaboration that says "ummm its not to punish her its to compensate her father for his now broken object!" felt both out of place, tonedeaf, and to have totally missed where i was coming from. i do not know that person above. that is my best estimation for why i answered the way i did a year ago.

it’s insane that men around the world made laws stating that if a man rapes a woman and doesn’t wanna go to jail all he has to do is marry her and some countries still go by that law. like they really decided a woman should be punished for getting raped by being what is essentially tied to him (moreso his property) for life

for english speaking followers🤓 the tweet translate to "INE denies eduardo verastegui from extending his deadline to collect signatures to run for the 2024 campaign"

eduardo verastegui is an alt right former soap opera actor who was one of the main producers and promoters of the movie sound of freedom, at the same time hes a part of the group legionaries of christ (yes the one where the founder was discovered to be a pedophile with a massive catalogue of victims). the film was one of the main crutches he was trying to use to gain popularity to run for the 2024 presidental campaigns in mexico. unfortunately for him he's only got 13% of the signatures he needs😌

as a sidenote hes also blaming this lack of support on the hurricane that hit acapulco, guerrero earlier this year. extremely tonedeaf excuse i hope there is no christmas miracle that gives him the signatures he needs before january 6th

ALGO MAS QUE BIEEEEEN 🍾🥂🎉
