just came across this beautiful rendition of siúil a rúin by irish-palestinian artist roisin el cherif. this song has always been close to my heart, especially after it's use in the nightingale, a film that explores the (ongoing) colonial violence on the island that i call home.
i really love the way that she weaves the arabic language into this song, as well as the influences from both irish and palestinian styles of music.
all the proceeds of the release are being donated to the doctors without borders gaza emergency regional fund so if you love her rendition as much as i do i would really recommend purchasing it on band-camp (i've linked it above).
anyone who has spent five seconds around me in the last few weeks: Yes, you love Haytham Kenway and Shay Cormac, we know, you love them both so much, they’re the light of your life, you love them so much, you just love the Grand Master of the Templar Colonial Rite and the Templar Wolf, we KNOW, you love Haytham Kenway and you fucking love Shay Cormac ok we know, we get it, YOU LOVE HAYTHAM KENWAY AND SHAY CORMAC. WE GET IT.
Adrian kindly read some paragraphs from Forsaken as a Cameo request (starting at ard 1 min). I add simple subtitles in English and Mandarins. It's about what Haytham thinks before he rescues Connor from the gallows. I'd like to share this amazing video with whoever love the Kenway family😘
I sacrificed my firstborn at the door to even be considered entry, and my kneecaps remain intact for now :)
Guys if I get hunted down and my legs broken broken for sharing these photos just know I did it for the gays but here are photos I took of the ‘you wear nice things well’ scene and the deleted Lucius opium scene (although even this is different than what Nathan Foad described in terms of what they filmed for this scene so-)
And then the opium scene:
Those are the only photos I snapped of the scripts themselves (they were on an iPad) but i may go back this summer and if I do (hopefully they have the season two scripts) I’ll take more photos if these ones don’t get my kneecaps stolen :)
EDIT: thank you all for the well wishes but I will be fine (hopefully) worst case scenario the copyright holders get mad and ask me to take it down/I get a legal threat or somethin like that. Either way I’ll probably be fine I’m just being dramatic for laughs (although everyone’s concern really does touch my heart so thank you all 💗)
