Soo there's a possibility my brain just made this up,(been a while since I read dotc anyways) but, I feel like I remember a whole thing with Clearsky where one of his cats, I don't remember the name, ends up with an awful festering wound and Clearsky pointedly does nothing about it and even like exiles that guy? Just in case you needed more fuel for the very deserved Clearsky hate pile. If I did completely mind fabricate it sorry-- I remember it really standing out as just cruel and awful as a younger person reading the book
Yeah that's Frost, this is in Book 2: Thunder Rising. Clear Sky also shoves his son's face in that reeking, festering wound and tells him to lick it if he cares so much.
But it's actually worse than just that lmao.
Frost is notably loyal in Thunder Rising, even shouting out how amazing Clear Sky is when he weeps his crocodile tears in front of a crowd early on. Everything that follows is his reward for that support.
Clear Sky beats Bumble to death and one part of his incredibly obvious lie is that he left her a second time, after she had been mauled by a fox AFTER he lightly tapped her and she passed out, to go get "help." But Frost has gone completely untreated for weeks because proto-SkyClan doesn't have a medic. So there's no way he could have gone to get help.
The Infected Wound Face Shoving Scene is actually part of Clear Sky playing an abuse game with his son because he's pissed off that Thunder questioned him.
He's in an especially bad mood because he'd just beaten Bumble to death and only Gray Wing believed his bafflingly stupid lie, and this is 3 days after he slaughtered Misty for her land and tried to kill her children too. Thunder set him off by saying "dad can we kill less natives maybe?"
Frost is also publicly humiliated before the exile, Clear Sky commands him to flash his weeping wound at a crowd as he bellows out a speech about filth, weakness, and spreading disease.
He DIRECTLY commands Thunder to be the one to "LEAVE HIM WHERE THE MAGGOTS WILL FIND HIM" (verbatim quote) because. Again. It's an abusive game. He wants to feel like he's in control of his son.
Frost's life was just a piece in a game for Clear Sky. A pawn, discarded when no longer useful.
And then Frost dies in that big battle Clear Sky causes and started, and is buried in a mass grave along with all the other victims. Probably because if more of Clear Sky's victims survived, they would have to lobotomize MORE characters for his exoneration arc. Absolutely fucking miserable story.

While there's some things I enjoyed about the 1998 Les Mis Movie, I will NEVER forgive the ending. I'm sorry, but there is no world where Valjean would walk away smiling as Javert kills himself. Like, I'm not just saying this as a Valvert shipper - I truly think it's such a genuine disservice to Valjean's character to do that, considering that JVJ saves and forgives Javert MULTIPLE TIMES in canon. Valjean would not smile at anyone's death, especially not anyone's SUICIDE! Even if that person is Javert! He saved Javert's life, and you write him SMILING AS HE DIES? NO WAY!

Thinking more of the “ancestors can hear Desmond” AU but am too tired to have like full thoughts so like rapid fire?
Desmond gets so used to checking for feathers with Ezio that he does it unconsciously. Connor doesn’t know why Desmond is so intent on finding feathers but he never fails to pick one up when Desmond points it out
Haytham couldn’t hear Desmond. It weirded Desmond out so bad he immediately desynchronized twice because he was so used to having sarcastic mental commentary with Altair and Ezio.
During the memory seals Altair could hear both Desmond and Ezio. It was not a pleasant experience for any of them the first time
Desmond gets songs stuck in their heads that won’t exist for hundreds of years in languages that they have never heard.
Desmond definitely accidentally taught baby Connor to curse in Italian and Arabic. This was mostly an accident.
Ezio and Desmond bicker about home design like an old married couple. (Desmond was right that one painting did look better two inches to the left)
Desmond has told all three of them at some point or another that he is pretty sure he is going to die soon (templars, coma, end of the fucking world) which was what started their need to find a way into the future to help him because none of them could handle thinking about Desmond’s death.
When he’s not in the animus Desmond will occasionally ask something and frown like he was expecting a response he always gets very quiet afterwards and the rest of the team pretends they didn’t notice.
Ezio had to put on a whole show of being surprised when Minerva started talking to Desmond directly (all of them agree whatever the Isu are planning the less they know about Desmond the better). He was not very convincing truth be told.

bh!Eclipse "asked to reach the top shelf" meets "can't reach the lowest cupboards without folding like a paperclip" - @clxckwork-sun-n-moon
Yeah, I mean, there's a reason SI is laughing here after Eclipse "gets on his level" - man's too tall, he'd need to lie down to get close
But shenanigans are so very fun, so:
vs
It's called symbiosis <3
bloodstain fool by naffeclipse and og detective au by sunnys-aesthetic!
