With what has happened on deviantart, do you think instagram is a good alternative to use as an art portfolio? (I know this is an undertale blog, but i saw you commented about this and i want to know your opinion)

Well, I don't use instagram--so I can only give you my vague impression. but...

The long and short of it is that no, i don't think instagram is a good portfolio site. my thoughts on why below the cut:

As i understand it, instagram relies heavily on constant activity on your newest posts to feed its algorithm so you get any kind of visibility. people going back to look at and interact with your oldest works may actually punish you? somehow??? (i shouldn't have to explain how dumb that is XD) from what i've heard, you basically have to post every day, which inflicts a terrible pressure to constantly perform and produce, making huge demands on your time, and that's 100% a fast-track to burnout. If people can make it work for them that's great, but that's not how I'd want to live, and it's just not possible for many others. so if you can't meet these demands, your art gets buried and impossible to discover, and older works that might still be amazing never get seen.

Furthermore, as far as I know you can't really use it on desktop. if you try to post a large piece or paint digitally, it may be hard to upload, and many people will only be viewing it on their phone screens... not ideal for anything with a lot of detail. So it wouldn't show your art in the best light if you do larger pieces like that.

and finally, instagram is owned by facebook. if you don't want to give facebook any more data on you than they already try to collect, don't use instagram :'D

it sucks that deviantart no longer seems to be the best place to post art--and that there are no clear alternatives. There are options, sure, but I don't know how well they work or if they're particularly friendly. Deviantart, at the very least (and for better or worse), was always where anyone could post, no matter their skill level and interests.

Anyway, if you just want a place to post only your art (and not mix it in with other types of posts), you can always make a sideblog here on tumblr; if you want something more "professional" to display your best works, you might look into making a little website for yourself. there should be options to do so that are either free or pretty low-cost, though i haven't looked into it recently so i don't know what's out there. It'd be more intensive to set up, but you'd have more control.

them's my thoughts on the matter; what you do with them is up to you, but hopefully they've helped ^^;

#undertalethingem chats #art tips with undertalethingems #sorta anyway XD #to be clear i'm thinking of a portfolio as a professional collection of your art #not really a general place to post your works like a social media site #so consider what you actually want out of a replacement site #and choose accordingly #i still have to think of what i want to do.... [sigh]

I wonder if you’ve ever thought about like, a glitch or a virus in the Animus accidentally causing all the playable ancestors to become self-aware and sentient. I kind of like the idea of them realizing they’re all essentially kinda stuck in the Animus servers and then banding together to essentially blow up Abstergo. hell, maybe Desmond is the reason why they’re all sentient, something about the Apple and the Eye started doing weird things to the samples they took from him so now the ancestors have to find his consciousness!

also I am ngl I think it would be very funny for them to occasionally be able to break into each other’s simulations for various purposes. Edward popping into the American Revolutionary War to say hi to his kid and grandkid. Jacob and Evie and Henry in Constantinople. Altaïr rolling around in the Caribbean, god help this poor non-swimmer.

(and maybe once they’ve gotten him out of wherever he’s been stashed Desmond can teach these guys how to like actually get into Abstergo’s servers and start ruining their lives?)

Ooooohhh, this would be fun and, considering which company Abstergo partnered with to develop the Animus games, this could have just as easily happened because bugs had always been part of the course when it concerned the games they have published.

It might have been a flaw in the Animus game console itself, simply because they had developed a ‘console’ that either didn’t require that the user be related to the genetic memory at all (which had been necessary to stabilize and synchronize with the memories) or they had included a ‘data set’ that includes the DNA origin to stabilize and synchronize with the memories (which meant that they were dealing with a setup they had not fully checked yet (considering Black Flag’s modern day setting was set in 2013 and was released before Rogue’s modern day setting in 2014, that would mean that their Animus iteration had to have been developed and send to Abstergo Entertainment with Sample 17’s data in a year or less).

Also, also, we have seen how ‘viruses’ can interact with the Abstergo games. Liberation’s secret ending which shows the ‘scenes’ that Abstergo tried to remove so that it seemed like Aveline joined the Templar Order in the end could only be accessed by finding a specific NPC in the game in various memory blocks.

So, in this scenario, the whole ‘non-canon character’ popping into other games could have happened during development BUT the Animus game they ship was meant to copy the memory blocks that research analysts got in development so those small inconsistencies could have happened during their breaks or flat-out during a time when no one was using the Animus at all.

The easter eggs (or some fans like to call them “too unrealistic and plain fanservice”) would be included in all the copies of their specific games those games only had minor tweaks to ensure they won’t crash (and have DRMs, I guess) and lesser time for Q&A because, let’s face it, they needed to cut costs somewhere before they were shipped off to ensure they had a yearly release.

It became just a normal part of the charm of these games and Abstergo is just going “Yes, it’s meant to show that we are all connected no matter how many centuries we are from one another!” but internally there are memos going “WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING???”.

Also, also…

We should set up some kind of timeline, I guess?

Because, as far as we can be sure, the only confirmed games that Abstergo Entertainment released are the following:

Liberations (based on Liberation with Aveline) - Prior to 2013

Pirates of Nightmares (based on Black Flag with Edward) - Around 2013 (also has a movie version called Devils of the Caribbean)

Note: We do not have any confirmation that they released any games based on Shay Cormac and, honestly, with how much Shay’s defection hinged on the power of the artifact (which they had probably had to cut out since they were going for ‘realism’), any games based on Rogue would probably need a lot of cuts and edits. They might have just, you know, given up on that in the end.

Buuuuutttt we have confirmation of these games as having been published prior to Arno Dorian’s memories being checked:

Not counting the three on the bottom which we don’t really have any information about, this means that we have confirmation that the following have been released (and, in Edward’s and Aveline’s case, this could have been a re-release ala HD remastered style which Liberation did get in the PS4 era):

Altaïr

Shao Jun

Ezio (also, it’s just sooo Abstergo to go for ‘Fear and Loathing in Florence’, a reference to AC2, but use Ezio’s Brotherhood robes… soooo like Abstergo to use the Brotherhood!Ezio model)

Ratonhnhaké:ton

Aveline

Edward

BUT then you also get

Jacques De Molay

Rodrigo Borgia

Haytham Kenway

This means that if you want the Animus servers' data to be sentient then you can make at least these three Templars sentient as well if you wish to add more conflict to the entire thing.

Now, if we keep the supposed release date with the idea that they released it as Aveline → Edward → Altaïr → Shao Jun → Ezio → Ratonhnhaké:ton → HD releases (or maybe Helix is meant to be a collection like the real-world example of Ezio Trilogy or Rebels Collection)

Then what can happen is that Aveline is the first one to ‘wake up’ and she finds herself in the Caribbean, waking up on Edward’s ship. She tries to ask where she is and her appearance caused Edward to snap out of the ‘Animus control’ and gain sentient.

Then they decide to try and find out where they are via the Jackdaw, sailing her beyond the supposed walls of this place they find themselves in.

It’s during their travels and checking the strange ports (imagine lots of glitching + the entire vibe of Animus Island back in Revelations with each map turned into an island so this means that landlocked maps like Florence and Monteriggioni are now islands) that they see an Assassin taking down a target at the port before running away. They give chase and that’s how they meet Altaïr in Acre docks. Their appearance snapped Altaïr into gaining sentient but not just that…

He remembers up to his death, unlike Aveline who remembers up to her wedding night and Edward who remembers up to a night with Tessa.

No.

Altaïr knows more about where they are than he should.

And that’s when he sees it.

A figure walking the streets of Acre, walking further and further away from them, clad in white that did not belong in his time.

Altaïr gives chase and the two followed him because Altaïr knows more than them, that was for sure.

Altaïr still loses him but he feels like he knows that figure… knows it’s a man and he’s important.

He points at Edward as he says, “Important to both of us.”

But he also knows the man isn’t here in the island composed of Altaïr’s memories anymore.

And Aveline and Edward get a crash course of who they truly are (digital construct of the memories of long-dead Assassins) and where they are. The where is more confusing because Altaïr uses words like “the Animus must always be online to connect to the servers”, “this is the server that has all the data of all researched and analyzed memories”, etc but Edward just summarized it as “prison created by Templars, right?”

“In a way.”

So they board the Jackdaw to try and find an exit and to find this supposed man that was important to Altaïr and Edward.

Along the way, they docked in a port that ends with them waking up Shao Jun as she’s running away from those hunting her. She remembered that this was the memory where her mentor told her to find Ezio Auditore and Altaïr thinks he knows the name.

“But I know of a different name for him as well… Prophet. He was… He was the prophet of that man.”

Shao Jun joins them and she recognized Florence so they docked there and they find Ezio who was looking for feathers.

Ezio stares at Altaïr for a moment then he stares behind Altaïr, his eyes going wild. Altaïr immediately knew what he was looking at he quickly turned around.

This time, the figure was running the rooftops of Florence and the two gave chase, making the rest run after them.

During the chase, Ezio shouts, “Desmond!” and the figure stopped and turned around.

Before they could see his face, a flock of birds flew between them, and the man was gone.

They reached where they last saw the man and Ezio recognized it.

This… was where he and Federico wished that their lives would not change… the day before Ezio’s entire life turned upside down.

With Ezio becoming part of their crew, Ezio had the same information as Altaïr. He knows who he is, where they are, and what they truly are.

But his memories end after seeing Altaïr’s remains underneath Masyaf.

And… he also has his Apple.

Altaïr sees the Apple and realized…

He opened his pouch and, yes…

He has an Apple as well.

So Ezio joined them too and they continue to sail Jackdaw. (If you’d like Adéwalé to be sentient as well even if we have no confirmation that Abstergo profited from his memories as well, this would be a good time to do it)

This time, they get into a naval combat with an unknown ship and Edward is enjoying himself. The ship was beautiful and whoever was in command knew what they were doing.

So Edward decided to ram it and they’d all pile onto the other ship. The crew wouldn’t be able to win against 5 Assassins after all.

But the moment they rammed the ship, both of their ships began to glitch just as they hear a man with a British accent shout, “How is it you came to captain a ship, given the way you sail?”

When the glitching stopped, the Jackdaw looked like it had absorbed the other ship, creating a new ship that seemed to be a merged version of the two.

And there was an Assassin on board that they didn’t know. An Assassin holding an Apple and… he was looking to their right.

Where a lone island filled with buildings taller than any towers they had ever seen could be seen just before the horizon.

The Assassin pointed at the island and turned to face Edward as he said, “He’s waiting for us there… grandfather.”

(If you want Haytham to gain sentient, he’s in the captain’s quarters and he’d open the door a few seconds later with a splitting headache, telling Ratonhnhaké:ton his sailing is shit then stop when he sees Edward. Cue awkward family reunion)

Other Unorganized Notes:

I’m sorry I couldn’t include Jacob, Evie, and Henry, nonny. :(

This was focused on the idea that the Abstergo servers mainly have data of the published ‘games’ while the memories still being researched are in another more secured private server.

Although, considering that Arno and the Frye twins were more ‘modified’ by the Assassins, maybe they could come in as a virus before Edward and the others meet Ratonhnhaké:ton. I think it would be a change of pace if Arno and the Fryes (with Jayadeep) know more than the ‘old guards’. Hell, they could say “We hitched a ride with the virus Erudito sent to find Sample 17 because the public noticed he always makes an appearance as an NPC in all the games so the Assassins think that he’s somewhere here.” “He’s not 17. His name is Desmond.” “Right, didn’t mean to offend anybody.”

I am awake! i am living! i am FERAL! This litle update has me absolutely SPINNING Firstly just allow me to say that everything is just oh so so CUTE The costumes, the sprites, the 19 minute long audio, the COOKBOOK my beloved!! But anyways, theory time!! Well more like observations, thoughts and unhinged ramblings XD Gonna put it Down Below:

Speaking of that. First observation is the wording of Down Below We usually talk about waving up high! It is said so many times!

But now we finally have our official "As Above, So Below" My first thought on this is the theme of a stage, "As above the stage, down below the stage" But I truly dont think we have enough information to make a connection quite yet We know where "Down Below" is I wonder where "As Above" is? The second thing is the Wally Darling costume And the Eyes

I realize now that the Eyes are actually just holes and showing whatever is underneath, BUT I still can't help thinking that this was intentional! Perhaps it's some sort of Code? Afterall, his eyes are Black!

Now to get into the MEAT here: Spoilers if you have not found the secret audio! during the secret audio "Listen" The bug found on the transcript

Wally stares directly at the "eddie" apple as he eats the apple on the plate (I also just wanted a screenshot of the "eyes" in the BG)

and now… now i have theories hang on cause it involves the entire transcript that was said but not said in the transcript itself! (In fact, it says this part is not there!! but it IS) so i typed it out by ear (also ayoo we have a narrator!!) (also there is a lot of 4th wall breaking and quite a few neighbors seem to know that there is a show/that they are puppets) (but anyways!) ok but here is what is said in the story It is because this town is rumored to have visitors at night… Something from deep within the forest, far beyond the hills and mountains… No one knows what it wants or where it’s going, just that it is persistent.. Just that it arrives here. So many stories have risen about their origins… But I know what it is searching for. it is looking for neighbors who have stayed up past the daytime, to gobble them up whole that is why so few live here it moves through the streets at night, but it doesnt break into Homes However, on rare instances, it will find itself with an appetite unsatisfied by its aimless wanderings even the occasional unfortunate insect that has crossed its path, is not enough those who have lived through the nights say, it isn't quiet about it either they always say you can hear when it gets closer to you do you know what sound it makes? I hear it, every night. you can hear it too, if you listen especially if you wait next to your window First, there's rustling in the bushes Then, the scratching on the pavement, and the walls.. as it crawls up Finally, if you're quiet.. You can hear it's guttural sound ok ok so there seems to be a theme going on here and the theme is Hunger And also when the audio gets all garbled and skipping? I feel like it is saying..."Frankly" over and over? I could be overthinking, but it is what i hear!! it almost feels like Wally.. can't control his hunger he was supposed to be watching Barnaby's apple Barnaby even says "Don’t worry though, kid, there’s plenty’a other eats here! What’re you feelin’ hungry for, Wally?" and he is quick to draw attention away from wally, as he tends to do a LOT barnaby seems to Know a LOT about Wally, and thats why he sort of has to be his babysitter? I think that there could be a connection here I think Wally was HUNGRY, he was absolutely STARVING OR OR Maybe something else was Hungry? Home?? Whatever the black goo/mold is?? If something is controling Wally? His eyes are black, the Goo is black, the goo is coming from Home But also also [It sounds like Barnaby pats the camera.] Going back to my theory of wally being the camera/ the audience surrogate/his eyes are cameras This is fuel to my fire!! Oh and also the Wally Costume add to the motif of You being able to see through Wally's eyes. Of You and Wally being connected through his Eyes!! But at the end of the day, I think this update revolves around Eddie! This little bug on the rock is Purple! Which we know is Eddie's Color!

And just that that doodle looks like the bug that leads to the secret Audio where Eddie's apple is brought to the screen.. Leads me to feel like something forboding is going on for our poor, dear sweet Mailman! Which by the way, just another little Observation But Sally doesnt seem enthused by the fact that Eddie is a fellow Arts lover? and she just calls him "Mailman" rather than an affectionate longname like she does with everybody else But it does feel like Eddie is the Type to give his heart and soul to everyone, the shirt from his back, only for him to get left in the dirt u_u I'm noticing a trend of him being the neighborhood punching bag Eddie IS the mailman tho! So it only makes sense that he is the one delivering the letters to the WHRP. He is not the one writing them, he's just the delivery guy! But I think he could be being sent out at night When everyone else is asleep And I think something terrible may happen to him It's very dangerous to go out at night and This could be where Eddie is ripped in half/mangled Wally fixes him of course! (old theory but it does reference that) So is Wally just using Eddie to serve whatever purpose he is after? Eddie is a very compliant guy, he would do anything for anyone and if he can be put back together, where is the harm? I am starting to make connections! Stringing together the pieces! And once again, i'm getting the question of "Is Wally Evil?" And once again, I am answering with a solid "No" Do I think that he could be slightly morally askew? With the themes of "I must do what I need to do, no matter what happens" "I'm sorry, but this is how it must be" "The ends justifies the means" Possibly, maybe. Especially if it is to save his Neighbors, his World, his Home. Or, Just some of his actions are not his, he is a puppet afterall. Anyways anyways, this has been a very very long and rambly tangent. Hopefully there can be some sense made from this, I know that I can be a bit jumpy with my thoughts!! But these are my inputs for now!! Feel free to add on/correct me! (I know the one link is out of cannon date, but so was the Frankly picture, and it was made cannon, so take it with a grain of salt)

#i am UNHINGED #i am not good with putting my thoughts into words but I TRIED #u can tell i have ADHD the way i jump from topic to topic #i tried to go back and make it flow a bit better but hnnn well i hope it isnt too spazzy #also please excuse typos. i LOOKED but i know i cant type very well #i am silly and i just want to draw wally a million times PLEASE #but i have to finish inktober ;w; uwaaaaa #why does so much cute stuff happen NOW? in this holy month of my yearly art challenge?? im in ANGUISH #i feel so tired from staying up to 2am and burning my brain into the night #but anyways #jazzisaspazz #wh theory #theory #wh spoilers #whps #wally darling #welcome home wally #i lowkey want to tag theneighborhoodwatch but i know that my ramblings are sorta jumbled XD #there is so much to think about!!

Hande Nutcracker Part 2: The mouse king

I guess this is a lineup now, here is the mouse king! Mortimer + a side comparison to Riles

(Everyone is an adult, Mortimer prop is the oldest by a few years)

I am aware that he doesn't look exactly like a mouse, but I had a lot of struggles figuring out his design + I tried to give him some mouse features, but he legit gave me this vibe XD (This special holds a special place in my heart)

(The mouse ears or whiskers did not work at all XD)

So, I decided to sacrifice it for a good concept and give him a "shapeshifting" type aspect to his character abilities. It's kinda like the vampire turning into a giant bat monster instead he transforms into a huge rat with seven heads (like in the OG version)

I did give Mortimer a mouse/rat shaped sorta thing on the chest, so I think is a special amulet that allows him to freely change from his human to his mouse form in the Fantasy world, as I do think that Owen prop would have turned him into a little mouse in Riley's world

I do think Owen probably dabbled with some dark magic like in the canon universe, hence why there is a fantasy world in need of help and the fact that he pushed his Goddaughter into it knowing it was real and that she wouldn't get hurt...that badly

So, in a sense, Owen probably would be the main antagonist of the Au and Mortimer is more like a gray character. I prop will take some inspo from his in-game counterpart, mostly on the paranoia and his difficult relationship with the other

But also his strained relationship with Owen, and maybe the more manipulative aspects, this time it's Owen acting impulsively hurting other people, so this is prop something he can see in Riley that makes him lower his defenses since Owen pretty much pushed her into his world

Regarding their relationship? It's mostly Platonic and friendly. I can see them being able to build a healthy alliance and friendship as these two are most likely to get close and bond over due to being overly smart and having some similar characteristics

So, Mortimer might be the first actual friend Riley makes before Daisy (since Riley is distrustful by nature) and I can see their friendship being a change of heart of Mortimer to form a truce with the other kingdoms to save their world, but mostly to help Riley get home

Also, I forgot to mention that his hair is white in my attempt to give him more mouse features. It is meant to represent the idea of white fur XD

#hello puppets #hello puppets midnightshow #mortimer handee #The Nutcracker AU #the nutcracker #The Nutcraker au #Just leave it to your imagination the whole transformation #It would be too exahausting #and I cannot do it at this momment due to irl stuff #anyways #The Mouse king #sorta #his design was hard XD #next one would be Daisy

TUEEEEESDAAAAAAYYYY!!! And time for another prompt! :D I think I may have posted this one on an ask or something once, but not as one of my prompts, so... Here, y'all get it again, lol! It's a very casual one this time, lol. Enjoy! XD

Prompt: For this one, I think I was kinda inspired by The Old Guard (and also all the history documentaries I’ve been watching lately, omg), but I was imagining Connor as this immortal warrior and Gavin as his mortal lover who he's lived out countless lifetimes with. Like, maybe Gavin (Gaius, lol) is a Roman centurion in the first century AD and Connor (probably called Conchobor back then) is a wandering Celtic warrior. Connor never dies but Gavin does. And the pain of it clouds Connor’s mind for years to come. But he eventually learns to suppress the pain, to continue on, aimless as it might be now without his beloved by his side. He spends centuries wandering aimlessly, a peerless warrior with a broken heart… Until he meets his reincarnated lover again, this time a Gallic tribesman. And thus, Connor begins this cycle of finding Gavin across the centuries, living out their days together, and then questing for him anew once his spirit passes. And the story itself would follow this immortal Connor tracking his beloved through the modern era to a city named Detroit.

#Veil's Prompts #dbh #the old guard #xover #sorta...#yeah what can I say?#I'm a sucker for this kinda thing #but just imagine Gavin Reed as he is in the game #surly and rude with a huge chip on his shoulder #and Connor arriving and tracking him down #and Connor already *knows* he loves this man #but damn he doesn't like this version very much at first! XD #but he's slowly break through Gavin's surly shell #and find that same soul he's fallen in love with countless times #haha I had no ideas for any big conflict #just another little romcom idea lol #because I can't get enough of these boyos I guess XD #anyway lemme know what you think!

what if Desmond was reborn as a fraternal twin to Jenny kenway

Okay, so we know Caroline died in 1220 when Jenny was 7. She reunited with Edward in 1222 when she was 9.

That age is important because…

Here’s the thing…

Caroline died because of chicken pox and her father refused to buy her the necessary medicine to help her. It was an avoidable death but her father didn’t think of her as his daughter after she married Edward, even after she had returned.

Desmond would have noticed this and he would have tried to help but chicken pox is highly contagious and Desmond would risk not just infecting himself but his twin as well.

But he’d still try.

He’d try his damnest even if it meant stealing.

Only for him to return home and his mother is already dead.

Jenny would know that their grandfather had let their mother die from Desmond. He’d try to spare her of that pain but Jenny is smart enough to figure out what Desmond wasn’t telling her. This would lead to a confrontation between the twins with Jenny demanding Desmond to promise to her that he would never hide anything from her ever again.

He promises and they make a pact.

No matter what happens, no matter who comes their way…

They will only trust each other.

At this point, the twins would grow to resent their grandfather but they’ll stay because they’re still young and the pox had weakened their grandmother who loved them. They stay until they receive a message from their supposed father who wants to send for them.

Edward Kenway…

Desmond knew that he was Ratonhnhaké:ton’s grandfather. The name Kenway was simply too much for it to be simply a coincidence. His Bleed of Haytham confirms that his father’s name is Edward Kenway and he has a sister named Jennifer Scott so, yes, Desmond knew who their father is before they met.

So when they boarded the ship that Edward Kenway had sent for them, their grandmother was the only one who went to the docks to say goodbye.

As they watch the port grow smaller and smaller, Jenny takes his hand and squeezes it tightly as she says, “Together?”

Desmond squeezes her hand tight as he answers, “Forever.”

Unorganized Notes:

Desmond would start to teach Jenny how to freerun and any non-assassinate skills he could teach a young child (like sneaking).

In Desmond’s defense, he was just trying to get his new body used to moving like an Assassin. Jenny’s the one who saw him doing all those strange movements and wanted to learn them too.

He knows his sister enough to know that she’ll just try to do it on her own if he doesn’t teach her and that would be more dangerous.

When Edward meets them, he gives Jenny the flower but wasn’t sure what to give Desmond so he gives him a doll that looked a bit like an Assassin. Desmond takes the doll and actually smiles because the simplicity of the doll make the robes look like a Levantine Assassin’s robes.

Edward knows they’re both sneaky kids and he finds it amusing. Jenny is the one who usually talks for the both of them and Desmond is more of a quiet child. Edward isn’t sure why Caroline would name him Desmond though. (His birth name is Emmett but that’s the name of the asshole who let his daughter die so Jenny and Desmond both decide he should have a different name. The only people who know him as Emmett are their grandparents since they’re only known as the Scott children in Bristol)

Edward doesn’t do their already distant relationship any favors going to Macau and leaving them with his new wife who’s not used to having children, especially not her own. Desmond doesn’t know if there is truly any love there or Edward thought they needed a mother or maybe he was after her fortune or maybe it was all three and, honestly, Desmond doesn’t care. Edward was fond of Tessa though but Desmond doesn’t know if that’s love or just… affection.

The twins grow up distant from Edward but Desmond can’t help but be kind to Haytham because he’s just… an innocent young boy.

In this one, Jenny becomes an Assassin because she already showed she has the skills and drive to be one. Edward tried to stop her but it fell on deaf ears and, really, Edward knew he was going to lose that battle because Desmond was 100% behind her.

Haytham grows up being taught by both Edward and Desmond with Desmond being more upfront with them being Assassins in an effort to dissuade Haytham into becoming a Templar.

Tessa is pushing for Desmond to get married though and Desmond assumed that it was Tessa’s own way of looking out for him or something. They’re not close but Tessa does care for them.

Birch still weasel his way into the family both as a business partner and as a suitor, although Jenny and Desmond are definitely sus of him but Birch knows that Desmond is an Assassin (but not Jenny because that’s hush-hush even in the Brotherhood) so he hides his tracks better this time around.

Still, the attack in Kenway mansion happens while Desmond was away but they didn’t account for Jenny being able to take them down. She’s able to save their father but Haytham still kills one of the thugs to protect his mother.

This ends with Tessa believing that Edward and his children have ‘corrupted’ her son and Haytham is traumatized by both his first kill and the fact that his own mother thinks he is a monster.

Desmond returns as soon as he can and he hears Jenny and Edward arguing about how Jenny was going to take Haytham away from the Kenway mansion while Edward wants to stay with Tessa.

Desmond and Jenny confront Edward about his decision to stay with Tessa and tensions reach a breaking point with Edward shouting that he won’t lose another wife. This makes Desmond believe that Edward’s guilt for not being there for their mother and losing so many of his friends (include one who is rumored to be someone he had loved) had mixed with his feelings for Tessa and…

Jenny makes the decision for them.

“Fine. You don’t want to lose your precious wife? Then stay here. All you’re going to lose are your children after all.”

And they take Haytham and leave the mansion.

Uuuhhh… yeah, that’s the end. I mean… I guess the next logical step would be to hunt down Birch while Desmond and Jenny train Haytham, maybe fuck up Rogue’s storyline? IDK. I feel like ending it with pretty much breaking up the Kenway family is such an angst-y end but also… feels like in line with the Kenway Family Drama? XD

Honestly, if you think Desmond would be able to fix the Kenway Family Drama by being Jenny’s twin, I’m sorry, nonny. It would take a lot to fix the Kenway Family Drama and Desmond growing up to watch his mother die after being ‘abandoned’ by his father and because of an uncaring and selfish grandfather would definitely sour his image of Edward Kenway in general.

But hey… atleast Haytham’s gonna be an Assassin? Yeeeyy???

(if this was too angst-y... shameless plug: here's A Pirate's Son, a fic that has a nicer ending and has Desmond sorta-kinda 'fix' the Kenway Family Drama)
