Happy birthday.

'Like, I'm sure no matter how mad he is at you, your buddy in San Francisco wants you to call him back.'

[aidens-trenchcoat]

In my head canon I cannot see aiden as a straight man, despite ubisofts dire attempts at making him the poster child for the early 2010s action hero protagonist archetype. Something about him screams 'don't touch me', which makes me lean into him being more asexual, but then I see him playfully taunt plenty of male characters in the game/novels, akin to how he and Clara interact. You wanna tell me Jordi ain't flirting with Aiden? Really? You wanna tell me Aiden didn't low-key enjoy Damiens desperation?

It may of been a month and a half since that whole "gamers need to get comfortable with not owing there games" quote from a Ubisoft executive but no, you DON'T just say shit like that and expect me to pretend you didn't say that!

Pov: the art you're making is so complicated that you have to draw the crew in their outfits individually in order to realize wtf are you doing

[mundanemodulus]

in the spirit of living like jordaiden has a thriving 2010s tumblr era following, I felt compelled to fill out a ship meme for them...

cleaner crop, more insights, and a blank template under the cut xoxo

Age/Height

JORDI'S AGE/HEIGHT NEVER GET REVEALED!!!! I just made it up based on what my heart wanted, and my heart wants Jordi to both be slightly taller and a little older than Aiden bc it makes for a cuter dynamic. Annoying old man bothers similarly old, but slightly younger, man.

How it Happens

I don't think either of them fully intend for it to happen, nor does it happen particularly quickly because, in Scotty's words:

“What is it about your generation? Why can’t you just talk to one another?”

Jordi inadvertently trips face first into having Genuine Feelings for Aiden because for some inexplicable reason, he cannot stay away from Aiden for long. He makes excuses for himself all the time but we all know what he is (🌈🌈).

Aiden is slightly different in that he doesn't actively try to create opportunities to see Jordi... it just so... happens to work out... their schedules align and Jordi crashes into his life... or something goes sideways and he needs Jordi's help... and then post Legion DLC he gets his fanfic-esque "Oh" moment.

Handling Conflict

RESIDENT SHIT STIRRER JORDI REPORTING IN. HE LITERALLY TRIED TO KILL AIDEN LMFAO. He moved on real quick from the attempt too LOL, bro doesn't take anything That Seriously. He's not always difficult for difficult's sake though—Jordi and Aiden have frequent ideological disagreements but I imagine that time tempers them both... and in the end, Jordi goes where Aiden does...

And we know how Aiden feels about disagreements. He still hangs on to Lena's death and pursues revenge rather doggedly... also, I think it's really funny if he just keeps bringing up the fact that Jordi tried to kill him Once. Aiden isn't completely conflict averse though and we see him butt heads quite a few times in the Stars and Stripes novel.

Relationship Attitude

ok. so Jordi has a reputation of being a hotshot playboy that never commits to anything and strings all his lovers along bc commitment isn't really his style. UNTIL AIDEN.

Jordi forgets all about his flings and somehow falls FACE FIRST into monogamy bc all he thinks of anymore is Aiden and the only person he booty calls is Aiden. So yes, he is Very Committed to Aiden EVEN IF HE TELLS HIMSELF HE ISN'T.

Aiden is... Aiden. He's never letting Jordi go.

Attachment

this one is funny to me bc I KNOW Jordi doesn't think himself as being protective of Aiden AND YET HE COMES RUNNING BACK TO SAVE AIDEN AT THE VERY END OF THE BOOK, AND THREATENS WRENCH DURING LEGION WHEN HE THINKS HE'S HOLDING AIDEN HOSTAGE.

Aiden is once again Aiden. I don't think Jordi can top that. We saw the lengths he went to protect Nicky and avenge Lena.

First to apologize after a fight

Jordi's pride is riding on the line at all times and he doesn't think he's wrong most of the time LMFAOOOO so Aiden usually ends up apologizing first... <3

The best caregiver when the other is sick

Jordi simultaneously has horrific and amazing bedside manners. Aiden is pretty consistently pleasant though... and it comes from caring for Nicky when she was sick, and then later Jackson and Lena when they got sick...

Designated driver

they both fight over this one tbh LMFAOOO Jordi does most of the driving in the novel but I just knooooooow Aiden hates being a passenger princess if he can help it... same thing for Jordi... both just feel more at Control when they're the one behind the wheel

(drunk or otherwise)

Sensitive to changes in their partner

The entire novel is a WEALTH of tidbits where Jordi and Aiden just Wordlessly Understand each other. They know what the other is thinking, how they operate, what they want, and so so much more GOD I CANNOT GET OVER IT THEY'RE OPEN BOOKS TO EACH OTHER

The one who proposes

Jordi "I have nightmarish commitment issues the likes of no one you've ever known before" Chin struggles to say "I love you" let alone "Will you marry me?" so the responsibility falls on Aiden both times HAHAHAH the proposal happens post legion, btw <3

Watch Dogs (2014)

“Everything is connected. Connection is power.”

[captain-303]

I have seen many people say that Watch_Dogs (the first game) is pretty dull and boring at times, however, cleary they have forgotten the mission in Act III where you help Raymond Kenney (wizard) escape from his junkyard (full of goofy lightning traps you can hack into) while you gun down like 30 goons of the big corporation (they are evil and mean), meanwhile Ray is blasting super loud music which is awesome

Like sure the main character is sad because his niece got killed, but, he's having fun!

"Jordi, why the fuck are you in my Digital Trip™"

[zaxmsstuff]

For a few weeks now I have been imagining Aiden being the father of a teenager.

Imagine Aiden, 55, having to put up with a rebellious teenager. It would be crazy. 😃

(I don't know what I do with my life 😔)

but seriously speaking. I even have a story in mind about it, if I could write it... but honestly if I did I definitely wouldn't publish it, I hate how I write, I don't give details and it bothers me. It would be entertaining to see Aiden argue with a teenager.
