its like. i LIKE ezio!! and ezio wants to avenge his family and save people and destroy the group that led to all this harm!! but i know that he doesn’t!!!! the games keep going and the modern day segments are there and the war does not end with him!!!

ezio thinks he can end this war. and i know he doesn’t.

this is a tragedy.

#if he just kills the right people. you know?#which is like. feels like the whole root of conflict in the assassins in the first place #you can’t free a world through death! you cannot build a world on death!!!! you have to build with the living. not with a blade always ready #to strike. so they believe themselves a necessary evil and that others will step in to do the building for them #but like god look at the villa part of the game!!! there’s no finer metaphor for how much ezio should be with the people building a better #world than the fact that on the side he is TRYING!!!!#that his whole life now is one defined by death and his will to wield it but. but. GAH. FUCK.#the assassins exist as a contradiction. a creed is an abstract but people aren’t! people live!#the dual identity of the assassin and the man. i watched that lil short film with his dad? and it’s just. it destroys someone! to be this!#anyway. i don’t know if the game actually gives enough of a shit about this to. talk about it. but like god i hope so.#because it fascinates me.#you can’t just stumble into something that thematically rich on accident
