I keep thinking about Desmond always being on edge. Always in Survival Mode.
He could never relax on the Farm, his Dad always breathing down his neck. Get better. Be better. Do better.
And then, Desmond ran away. And he always had to look over his shoulder. Always had to be a step ahead of the Templars and Assassins (a great feat btw)
And then Abstergo got him and I can't imagine him relaxing in that environment. Only to be plucked out of that space and be back with the Assassins, back in the Animus.
With people he didn't know, who wanted to work and save the world and at the end, his Dad was back again too.
Surely Desmond never left Survival mode. Wouldn't even know what that would feel like.

Desmond gave him food one time and now he begs at every meal.

Desmond always being in survival mode is so sad but also so funny.
He never has time to question most situations he's in because his top priority is trying to survive.
He's like "oh this is what we are doing now," as everything he's ever known just gets thrown out the fucking window by isu.
This also applies to most time travel AU's like he doesn't question how time travel is possible, or why he was even able to time travel, he just like "oh! Alright then..." AND DOSENT QUESTION IT
He's so silly I love him

Inspired by @sulfies I wanted to practice a piece for my Valdemar's Creed story.
The Jackdaws Mercenary Company was a well respected if revealtivly new Mercenary Company. Captain Edward Kenway was going a bit crazy with the paper work and red tape considering they were a bonded company, but that's what you got when you had experience and skill in your group. It had been what a week since they got their newcomer Desmond Miles.
Desmond was a heaven sent, skilled as an assassin with insights into the Templars, knowledgeable about the locale and above all a bit shy about his past. Minor issue compared to the successes they were having since they added Miles to the company. Things were great. Until they weren't.
"Cap'in?"
Aldewe said before entering
"Yes Aldewe?"
"Ave you seen Miles?"
Edward jerked his head up. He knew where everyone was. Racking his brain he remembered Desmond was doing something simple, recon, he should have reported back...two days ago.
"Shit Aldewe, I have been so busy I didn't notice he hadn't returned."
"Aye thought as much. His Hertasie are worried."
His quartermaster said, Edward remembered the two lizard folk that made life easier for them all. Usually Salvais would let him know that Desmond was back, but he only caught the slightest glimpse of the Hertasi inventor signalling him doing what they do best, serve.
Before Ed could formulate a plan, Mary Read dashed over and said
"Ed, Desmond was found, Thatch found him. He isn't himself."
"wat do yah mean lass?"
"He- didn't call you captain. He called you father."
Edward froze. There was only one person who would call him that. He dashed to where Desmond was. He was a mess, he was fighting Thatch who was merely laughing at the challenge. On a whim Edward sharply said
"Haythem Kenway! Enough young man."
Desmond stopped his unfocused eyes fixed Edward with a disbelieving stare
"Father? How?"

Mind sharing some Ezio, Ziio, Shay and Edward Hcs?
Sofia and Claudia got along like sisters (idk I think this might actually be canon).
Ezio encouraged Flavia to be spirited and curious, and sees himself in her and the way she takes care of Marcello. If Ezio had lived to see her to adulthood, he would have been protective but let her choose her own husband.
Ezio wanted to keep his Assassin activities a secret from his children. After he died, Claudia took them in and trained them herself the way their Uncle Mario did for them.
Ziio and Oiá:ner's interactions became stilted after the birth of Ratohnhaké:ton. There was no doubt that the love was there, but Oiá:ner could not quite look at her the same again, and she had to busy herself with finding someone else to groom as successor. They were finally warming up to each other again just a year or so before Ziio died.
Oiá:ner put full trust into Ratohnhaké:ton and his decision-making going forward because she didn't want to drive a wedge between herself and her grandson the way she did with Ziio. And it was the hardest thing she ever had to do.
Modern-day Ziio would have been a leader in the stand-offs against the Canadian government and localities like the Kanehsatà:ke Resistance, which her voice actor Tiio Horn was actually in. My headcanon Ziio has a lot of Tiio Horn's traits, mostly because Tiio Horn's sass that I see in her social media comes through a lot in her voice acting for Ziio.
Ratohnhaké:ton's a BEAST at lacrosse. Man moves like WATER.
Shay died peacefully in a manner similar to Ezio's -- in a garden, watching his family.
Shay most definitely was the black sheep amongst the Templars -- not just because a traitor gets no trust from any side, but because he's Irish and many other Templars were Englishmen who were racist against him. Adéwalé called him Haytham's hunting dog, but the Templars thought the same of him.
Because of this, Shay was that high-achieving Templar the others resented, because they hated the idea of being outdone by someone they felt was lesser. They kept their distance from each other, and his friends in the Order were kept in a tight circle -- Jack Weeks, Gist, and Haytham.
That's also why Cudgel was so fiercely proud of his grandfather later on too -- despite the racism, he was more Templar than any of them.
Also, Lil Cudge seems to me like that kind of guy who in modern day would insist that the Irish were slaves. He seems to me like someone who's very loyal, but but blindly so, and someone who doesn't question tradition.
Edward wanted to raise Haytham as English as possible, but he'd occasionally slip up and curse in Welsh at times. Haytham would grow up with only vague memories of the Welsh part of his heritage.
Edward was a rambunctious lil youngster who didn't need any dogs to herd the sheep. The wolves were scared of HIM lol.
Edward's relationship with Jenny haunts my dreams. What happened in the years between her and Haytham's birth. The people need to know.
I wrote a whole other word vomit post expressing my guess that he didn't want her to get involved in the Assassin world because he wanted to protect his last memory of Caroline. He believed in being honest with your child, so she knew everything about his activities. But given that Caroline had already been disowned because of him and even now that he was a new money gentleman, he was a social pariah because of his pirate past, he wanted Jenny to live a noblewoman's life -- marry a man of good social standing and be a good wife. And although she protested, he always thought he knew what was best for her.
If Jenny knew about her brother's child and ever met him, she honestly would've adored him. Such a polite, well-loved young man. She would've been relieved that he was raised right by his mother's side, away from the Kenway drama. Thank God all he had in common with her side of the family was blood, but if she could have chosen to be blood with any remaining relative of hers, it would have been him.

Trying a slightly teeny meeny more detailed style w a different brush (this one has a bit of line weight my usual brush is a monoline). I think im getting the hang of doing Desmond’s face to look like him a bit more :3

@0ryza13 left this reblog in this idea
God I go feral over the concept of Sleepy Hollow x AC, purely because theres the possibility of Desmond wandering into town and seeing Ichabod and going "hey Shaun, Rebecca, am I hallucinating or is that the guy Connor knew during the revolution"
(I’m making this a Sleepy Hollow the TV show crossover because I’m hoping that what’s you mean XD)
Desmond is permitted to go rest for a ‘bit’ after saving the world with Shaun and Rebecca while Bill tries to get info about how the entire world is holding up. They were on their way to a safe location where Altaïr II is waiting for them so Desmond could have his ‘vacation in the Caribbean Sea’ (I don’t know why, Becs, but I kinda wanna go sailing there for some reasons) and they just happen to pass by Sleepy Hollow when Desmond sees Ichabod Crane.
He’s hit with Ratonhnhaké:ton’s Bleed because he looks exactly like the Ichabod Crane who worked for George Washington.
And he confronts him.
Ichabod didn’t recognize Desmond at all but he recognized the tone and the posture. He remembered Ratonhnhaké:ton. The way Washington’s relationship with the native man ended had always haunted Washington and Ichabod saw the aftermath.
Washington’s focus on the supernatural had been due to his final meeting with Ratonhnhaké:ton.
And Ichabod now believes that Desmond is possessed by Ratonhnhaké:ton’s ghost.
.
“You’re the one who wanted to go on vacation.”
“I know.”
“Yet here we are, stuck here in this god forsaken town-”
“Don’t be rude.”
“- investigating… what? An immortal who thinks you’re Connor?”
“… Sorta? There’s something in this town… it just… calls to me.”
“… you think it’s a POE?”
“Or something related to Minerva and her people.”
“…”
“…”
“… you’re not getting another vacation after this.”
“(sigh)”

I decided to replay assassin's creed 2 and my very gay roommate plops down on the couch with me.
Him: is he gay?
Me: Desmond? Why?
Him: look at his walk. That is a very cunty walk. He is throwing his hips. Did they steal him from a gay bar?
Me: Well, he was a bartender in New York. I don't think they say what kind of bar.
Him: Oh yeah, he's gay.
