ngl stuggled so much w Desmond’s face on this lmao idk why he turned out a bit anime shojo eyed but maybe thats just the effect Connor has on ppl. This sketch has been rotting on my ipad and war originally Ezio but made him too buff
Does anybody else get the strange feeling that Dai Malik is like…unnaturally powerful in a way you can’t comprehend?? I mean…
THIS gives me similar vibes:
As THIS:
Am I the only one?

That’s because Malik is on a whole ‘nother level than the rest of the Rafiq. I headcanon that the council under Al Mualim (if there was a council, I personally think there is) are the ones that hold the title Dai.
And while I do think that they’re like the oldest in the Brotherhood, Al Mualim was apparently 50+ years old when he died so his council could totally be a council of badasses ala Gotei 13 with Malik being an outlier as he wasn’t part of the council but is, for all intent and purposes, equal to them.
Din has his eyes on a bounty in Desmond’s bar, which he has not much of an issue with. Fights happen sometimes and as long as no one breaks his furniture he’ll allow it, plus the guy Din is hunting was a blaring red in his Eagle Vision and Des was gonna deal with him later anyways.
Maybe they meet again later on, when Din has Grogu and runs into some Imps, Des on a rooftop goes 👀 and helps them out.
Din asks “are you a Jedi?”
Desmond just goes “tf is a Jedi?”
Din shrugs and goes “I have no idea”
Grogu “patu”
I don’t know how likely Desmond would know about the Jedi post empire, but maybe he would run into some of them, I just think it would be hilarious if he didn’t know anything either.
Anyways, Desmond is willing to help Din and Grogu track some down, now he’s part of the arc. You’re welcome ^_^
Weight of a Feather, Assassin's Creed: Origins fanart, watercolour and acrylic gouache on hot press paper, 17.8 x 25.4 cm
This is one of those that I don't care if no one likes it, or if there are obvious mistakes/things that don't make sense, I'm proud of myself for managing to do it traditionally and that's that. It's for no one but me, I'm just sharing it with you :)
I started it in 2021, even began to paint it, but burnout is a bitch and I couldn't finish it then. Recently I decided to see if I could complete it traditionally and this is the result!
It was inspired by a screenshot I took where Bayek's face is entirely in shadow. I then added elements that relate to Ma'at, the goddess of truth and justice, and the ceremony of the Weighing of the Heart, where she'd weigh a dead person's heart against her ostrich feather, to see if they were worthy of going on to the Field of Reeds (a sort of paradise). (Egyptologists don't @ me 😭)
i recommend every history student to play the appropriate assassin’s creed game before starting to learn about a subject bc it makes everything 10000% funnier like. hey. i know this guy. he had an unresolved yet undeniable homoerotic sexual tension with my favorite video game man. what’s he doing here.
Desmond in either Ezio or Altaïrs time (and I know which one you have a bias towards) and he’s just a normal guy except he’s moving at x2 speed. He can’t turn it off. The whole everything for him is just at x2 speed (as in he’s faster). And it’s not like super speed where he can still talk and stuff at normal speed, EVERYTHING is x2 speed.
I was thinking how this would impact Desmond because the entire world would look like it’s 2x slower than him. And how would it even look like if he talks? Like his entire face is moving normally while the rest of his body is faster? XD
Desmond would probably be grabbed by Altaïr or Ezio (and yeah, we all know who I would pick) and they’d be like “Stay still, Desmond.”
The only way to have a conversation with Desmond without being distracted by his… everything… is when he stays still.
But if he sees the world slower, doesn’t that mean he hears everything slower as well?
That sounds like the kind of nightmare we will ‘give’ him affectionately, to be perfectly honest.
In combat, he’d definitely be the best and even during missions.
But conversation-wise, it’ll take a lot of time getting used to.
Unless…
His ancestor is the one to adapt to his needs and starts to speak faster.
It makes it harder for the two of them to be understood by others but this is the best way for Desmond to understand him and he’s willing to make such adjustment to make Desmond feel normal.
Also…
Does this mean that Desmond’s metabolic rate and sleeping habits are sped up as well?
Does this mean Desmond would burn through what he’d eaten faster and he would need to eat more frequently?
Does this mean that Desmond’s sleeping pattern is shorter but more frequently?
Because what is part of the ‘stuff’ portion of the ‘he can still talk and stuff at normal speed’?
His body moves x2 speed.
Doesn’t this mean that his body, in general, is aging faster???
