CW: Loss, Grief, Cancer, Death
Today is my fathers 66th birthday. The very first birthday without him. Last year he was sitting on his favourite chair, happy about the balloon he received. Just one month later he died because of lung cancer. And though he is not here with me and my brother and mother anymore, he still lives on in our memories. There, I can still hear him laugh and making bad dad-jokes. Words cannot describe how much I miss him. Grief is always there but at special days like this, it is even harder and even more present.
I love you Papa ❤️ I wish you a happy birthday and wherever you are now, I hope there is lots of crumbled cake there 🙏

Welcome to Sapienza, 47.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Happy Sapienza Anniversary! Even though I liked Paris, Sapienza was the one location that made me fall in love with the game and with the WoA trilogy. Since Saint Petersburg in Hitman: Silent Assassin, I never loved a Hitman location as much as Sapienza. Even though the main targets are not using so much from the whole location, they did Sapienza good with the additional content like The Icon, The Author or Landslide (and Sapienza is so beautiful during sunset!).

Unpopular Hitman Opinions Pt. 2
I already did a part one of my personal unpopular Hitman opinions which you can check out here. And since it was quite fun to think about these, here are more of them!
Again: these are just my personal opinions. You can agree or disagree, but be kind!
Victoria is the least interesting character in all Hitman games
I think Victoria had a lot of potential to be an interesting character, but it wasn't utilised. Instead she was meaningless and in the end just an alibi to turn the stoic killer into a caring killer. I'm generally not a fan of these stories where the cold-blooded killer gets a little girl to make him seem softer and to give him a reason for his actions. That has worked a few times, for example in Léon: The Professional or Logan, but here the young female part was also interesting. That doesn't apply to Victoria. Quite apart from the fact that the number with the chain that keeps her in check is pretty over the top, even by Hitman Story standards.
Jane Perry and John Hopkins are better voice actors than David Bateson
I like the voice of Bateson! In the older Hitman games he had a lot of great moments as 47, for example in Contracts when he watches the couple on the street or when Diana hits him with the syringe in Blood Money. But in the WOA trilogy he's a bit slacker or he's just not on the same level as Hopkins and Perry. Sometimes Batesones lines seemed kind of read off. Perry and Hopkins, on the other hand, manage to give their characters depth with their voices alone. This becomes particularly clear when they act together with Bateson. For example, in the homecoming cutscene, when Hopkins, as Grey, lends his voice a forceful emphasis when he finally asks 47 "what was his name?". Bateson, on the other hand, appears monotone in this tense situation. The same happens in the cutscene after Mendoza, when Diana betrays 47. He lies on the floor writhing as the poison flows through his body, but his speech doesn't convey this. Perry, on the other hand, manages to convey Diana's disappointment and fragility, but at the same time her determination, through her voice. (I think he was great in Absolution though) I think the reason Hopkins and Perry stand out so much is that they are much more experienced and versatile voice actors, unlike Bateson, who hasn't done any major work of this kind apart from 47.
47's signature suit is old school and doesn't look good on him
I think the signature suit doesn't look as badass as people often say it does. There are other suits that make him look much more intimidating and fit him way better, for example the classic all black suit or the suburban suit. I also think that the signature suit looks old fashioned and sloppy, compared to these other ones.
Olivia's character was interesting but not used well
Olivia is a very interesting character, as she is Grey's "Diana", so to speak. But she was somehow the fifth wheel and the focus was too much on 47, Diana and Grey, so she was very much lost. Yet her story had so much potential. Her backstory of how she met Grey as a child in Sierra Leone? Her time working with Hush? So many interesting facets that were all underutilised. Such a shame!

47, it's Diana. I could be retired for contacting you directly. The client was Belicoff. Your location has been compromised.

Unpopular Hitman Opinion
Maybe I put myself on thin ice now with this post 😅 But here are my personal unpopular opinions about the Hitman games!
The cutscenes from Hitman 2 are way better than the ones from Hitman 3
I know that many people didn't like the cutscenes from Hitman 2, especially comparing them to the ones from Hitman 2016. But compared to the cutscenes from Hitman 3, they are so much better. The quality of the Hitman 3 cutscenes is way behind this. Everyone is stiff, the mimic is stiff, the movements. They look like cutscenes from five years ago. The Hitman 2 cutscenes might be stills, but they are giving more emotions and depth (especially the Homecoming and the Untouchable cutscenes) than any cutscene from Hitman 3.
Hitman Blood Money and Hitman Absolution are the worst games of the franchise
Although Hitman 2 and Hitman Contracts were the first Hitman games I played, it was Absolution in particular that sparked my love for these games. Today, I can't play Blood Money or Absolution again. I think it was a bit due to the time back then; maybe they were trying to do some kind of Quentin Tarantino thing with the games and the humour in them. Looking back, it's just far too sexist and ridiculous for me and I probably wouldn't finish the games today.
I liked Diana more, when she was just a voice
Okay, this opinion is probably the most unpopular of all 🙈 And even though I liked Diana and her presence in the last games, I liked her character much more in the older games. Nobody knew who she really was or what she looked like, there was something so mysterious and secretive about it. She was someone important but nobody knew who she actually was and a lot was left to imagination. I think it made her much cooler than her presence in the last games.
Hitman 3 is the worst game of the whole World of Assassination trilogy
And I'm not (just) saying that because Grey dies in it 😅 His death itself isn't even the problem, it's the way he dies. It's just as stupid and far-fetched a decision as the rest of the story. The really ridiculous escape of the Constant, Grey's suicide, Diana's betrayal (which is just warmed up coffee). In addition to the bad story, I also find the levels far less good than in Hitman 2, for example. Dubai is far too small and the Carpathian Mountains are not a real Hitman level for me, but rather a predetermined route to get to the (bad) end. I also don't like the briefings, everything seems so jumbled up and doesn't fit in so nicely with the first two games.
I hate the goofy outfits
I hate all of them 😐 The Flamingo, the Clown, Santa. I don't find them funny and I never wear them if I don't have to. Maybe it's just not my kind of humour. But I like my 47 in tailored suits and expensive designer clothes 😌
Do you have any unpopular opinions for the Hitman Franchise?

If you ever need more John Hopkins in your life, he narrated the audiobooks for the novels that Midsomer Murders is based on.
Yes, thanks for mentioning this! I already listen to them on Audible!
And all of you who have Spotify, there is a true crime podcast narrated by him named “Scotland Yard Confidential”. It has over 50 episodes, so there is a lot of Greys amazing voice there 😁 He also narrates the spotify podcast “Short history of…”. So if you are ever in the mood for his voice, listen to them!

It's The Little Things
I wrote a lil something in honor of @grumpynora's birthday! You can read about young 6 and 47 breaking into a diner below.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NORA! 🥳🥳🥳 I'm sending you lots of love and I hope you have an amazing day like you deserve! 💗
Tumblr media
The lock gave way easily as they broke into the diner, its only security a loose doorknob that couldn’t keep out determined wildlife, let alone two young assassins. The business was closed and the staff long since gone, providing them a quiet place to relax as they formulated a new plan to eliminate the target. 
Of all the places they normally visited, a diner was the most unusual. 6 and 47 lived a strict lifestyle that allowed them little freedom of choice, hindering their experience of locales that weren’t useful to their work. Father mostly dictated their daily routines, often sending them around the world to complete contracts for Providence before returning home and starting the murderous cycle anew. Though the Institute guards chauffeured them to and from the airport, they were allowed to work fairly unsupervised, though they were only given a limited amount of time to complete the job before returning to Romania. Father didn’t want his subjects to deviate from his grand plan, nor for them to get any troublesome ideas about rebelling.
Still, they had to improvise when the target’s plans changed, causing them to move from the office building to a neutral location where they could reevaluate their tactics. 47 stationed himself at the diner’s counter while his brother took interest in the kitchen. He used the small ray of kitchen light shining through the serving window to study their map of the city, doing his best to ignore the noise of 6 opening drawers and running water from the other side. He had just concocted a new plan when he heard the flat top grill switch on. Curious, 47 left to investigate. 
6 slapped many strips of bacon onto the grill’s hot surface, smirking proudly to himself at the resulting symphony of sizzle. He ignored his brother’s stare from the corner of his eye as he reached for a bowl of egg yolks. 
“What are you doing?” 47 asked, his tone neutral. 
“It’s a surprise.” 
47 raised his brow, but said nothing. 
“Go sit down,” 6 grinned. “Trust me.”
47 sighed lightly, but did as he was told. He returned to the old yellow spinning stool at the diner’s counter and listened to his brother work. After many interesting sounds, wonderful smells, and a few muttered expletives for entertainment, 6 was finally finished. He walked backwards through the swinging doors while carrying two large ceramic plates filled with breakfast food. 
47’s eyes widened at the chef’s offerings: five strips of bacon of varying doneness, a large mass of scrambled eggs, and two & a half pancakes (the half being the third pancake that folded in on itself while flipping). 6 waited expectantly for 47, refusing to eat his own breakfast until he saw his brother’s reaction to his food.
“Why?” was all 47 could muster. 
"Seriously, brother?” 6 sighed. 
“Yes. Father wouldn’t approve of us wasting time.” 
“47, enjoying life isn’t a waste,” he frowned. “Just try the food, I promise you’ll like it.” 
“Very well.” 
6 watched as he quietly ate from each corner of his plate, sampling a strip of bacon before eating half of the eggs and then one of the pancakes. 
“And?” 6 prompted. “What do you think?”
47 considered the plate. The bacon was chewy, the eggs a bit overcooked, and the pancake overly sweet with a hint of raw batter still in the middle. 
It was the best meal he ever had. 
They very rarely ate anything other than the protein-and-vitamin-rich meals served at the Institute. The meals served their nutritional purpose, but they were often shaped as grayish mush or patties and were very much lacking in flavor. What his brother had just served him was rather perfect, a revelation for his palate, and he was suddenly very glad that they took up a brief residence in the diner. It became another one of 6’s rebellions against their Father’s restrictions, one that 47 was very grateful to have experienced. 
“It’s…good.” 
6 grinned proudly. “I told you you’d like it.” 
They slowly ate their delicious meal as they attempted to savor each bite. They would eventually have to return to their assignment and clean the diner of any evidence of their presence. But for now they would sit together and eat, and enjoy the liberating taste of something new.
