oh look! a sanders sides fic? yes indeed!!

its presently a work in progress, but i'm planning on updating this relatively frequently. i want these chapters to be kind of long (>2,000 words), so it might not be a weekly thing but i'll update as often as i can. ch. 1 will be on tumblr, all chapters after that can be found on ao3!!

Virgil didn’t think he would ever get used to being friendly with Janus again. The other sides - mainly Logan and Patton- had made the decision to integrate him into their group without him, but he would have appreciated a heads-up before he ran into the snake lounging in the living room, watching some kind of crime documentary (Virgil was too distracted to check what it was about) without a care in the world.

“Wh- How- When-” Virgil paused, catching his breath and trying to slow his brain down enough to form a coherent question. Janus glanced at him and raised an eyebrow, turning down the volume on the TV. “No one told me you moved in.”

Janus frowned, although there was a glint of something in his eyes that made Virgil uneasy. “I thought you all were the pinnacle of communication these days. Unless…?” He looked at Virgil with false shock. “They just didn’t think to tell you.”

Virgil suppressed a groan. He didn’t have the patience for Deceit today. He closed his eyes and counted to ten. To his disappointment, Janus was still sitting there when he opened them. “I’m not in the mood for you today.”

“Take it up with Patton, if you’d like. He’ll totally agree with you and kick me out immediately. I might not even get to say goodbye to Logan!” Janus turned the volume back up, but not before throwing Virgil a pout.

“I’d think you’d want to chat with Roman, with how dramatic you’re being,” Virgil muttered, heading to the kitchen to make a pot of coffee. He heard a gasp from the couch and ignored it. Today was going to be a long day.

—

Even though Virgil knew that Janus was being sarcastic, he found himself at Patton’s door, biting the inside of his cheek and building up the courage to knock. He chickened out, and shot him a text instead.

9:35 AM

virge: can we talk? im by your room.

He waited a couple minutes for Patton’s reply, hearing some thunks sound from behind the door.

Patton-Cake<333333: Ofc!!!! 1 sec, Ill b right ther!!

Virgil smiled, shoulders relaxing a little bit. The door in front of him creaked open, Patton not at all surprised that Virgil was waiting for him in front of it.

“Hey, buddy! What’s up?” Patton stepped back, gesturing into his room for Virgil to enter, closing the door behind them. “Oh- wait, one second-” He turned and started rummaging through a canvas bag that seemed to be bigger on the inside than the outside, since Patton’s arm had fully disappeared inside. He let out a sound of triumph and pulled out a fidget cube, one that he knew Virgil loved. “There we are.” He tossed it to him, and Virgil smiled gratefully, immediately beginning to push the little buttons on its side.

Patton waited for Virgil to speak first.

“Who decided to let Deceit in here?” Virgil saw Patton’s throat bob as he swallowed hard. “Pat-”

“I meant to give you a heads-up,” Patton said, pulling out a pop-it for himself and beginning to fiddle with it. “But I didn’t know how to say it without stressing you out and Jan really didn-”

“Jan?!” Virgil almost dropped his cube. “Patton, I mean this with all due respect, but what the fuck is going on here? I know you’re gonna be like ‘have some empathy Virge! You were like him once, too’ but this is so different! He’s Deceit!” Patton winced at Virgil’s impression of him. He felt a twinge of guilt at having hurt the other sides’ feelings, but he forged ahead. “You seriously can’t be planning on fully integrating him into our space. I truly don’t think he could ever go back to being a friendly presence in the mind palace.”

Patton paused. “Logan thinks it would be a good idea to get Thomas to accept every part of him. To give everyone the same kind of treatment without having some of us banished to dungeons or wherever Remus is now.”

“I know that that’s not why you’re doing this, Pat. If it was, Janus would have told me to talk to Logan. But he knows that you know something that if I knew it it would make me feel bad.” Virgil blinked. “That makes no sense but you get what I’m saying! He wanted me to talk to you. And more often than not he wants to hurt my feelings. So I can only assume that something you’re gonna say to me will hurt my feelings. Well, lay it on me, Pat. Quit beating around the bush.”

Patton blinked. “Is that really what you think of him?”

“Yes!” Virgil set down the cube, pushing his bangs out of his eyes and looking pleadingly up at Patton. “That’s why I feel so on edge with him being here. He hasn’t been nice to me since Thomas was a kid. I can’t imagine he would ever go back to that. He hates me. I make his job harder. He doesn’t want me around, and believe you me, the feeling’s mutual.”

“Are you sure, though?” Patton’s voice was quieter now, and he was pushing the circles on the pop-it faster. “I mean, people can change.”

“But we’re not people, Patton. We’re sides. We don’t really change.”

“You did.”

Virgil grunted, trying to find some kind of argument that he could make. “But I didn’t have a history of sabotagi-'' He faltered. “I just really don’t feel good about him being here, Patton, why don’t you get that?”

“I do,” Patton said, looking up at Virgil, empathy and understanding filling his eyes. “I really do. But I also think that it’s not easy for him. He’s only ever been around you and Remus. He needs to be nurtured and loved and taken care of. Just like you do. Just like all of us do. And it’s OK if you don’t want to spend all of your time with him. I understand. But you have to give him a shot. Or else he can’t get better.” He set down the pop-it and moved to sit next to Virgil, putting a hand on his shoulder. “Remember when you first came to live with us, and how unhappy Roman was about it?”

Virgil nodded, leaning in a little. Patton took the hint and moved his hand, using it to wrap around Virgil instead and give him a hug.

“Do you remember when he stopped being so unhappy?” Virgil thought back, and several different memories filled his mind. Disney, being in his room, Bizaardvark, cartoons... “It’s hard to pick just one, huh, kiddo?” Virgil nodded. “Acceptance like that is gradual. It has to be. I’m not asking you to forgive Janus overnight. I’m asking you to consider it. And then, maybe in a couple days, I’ll ask you to say hello to him once and a while. Just a hello. That’s it. And then a few days after that I’ll ask if you want to join us when we watch a movie together. It’ll take little steps. I’m just asking you to try.” He moved so that he was looking Virgil directly in the eyes. “Can you do that for me, Virge?”

Virgil hummed noncommittally. Patton chuckled before his eyes turned serious again. “Well if you can’t consider it, I’ll tell him to avoid you so that you don’t have to interact with him until you’re ready. How does that sound?”

Virgil burrowed his head further into Patton’s chest in answer, and Patton squeezed him as a reply, sighing contentedly as he leaned back, setting Virgil’s head on his lap and running his hands through his hair. They sat there for a few moments, Virgil curled into him, savoring how warm the other side was. Patton frowned and examined a piece of Virgil’s hair. “Your roots are growing out. Do you want me to help you re-dye it later?”

Virgil pulled a piece of his bangs down in front of his eyes, and studied it. “I can do it on my own. Don’t want anyone else breathing in the bleach fumes.” He blew the strand out of his face and pushed himself up, smoothing the hair that Patton had pushed back. “Thanks for offering, though.”

Patton smiled, getting up to open the door for him. “Of course, kiddo! If you ever want to talk about anything - Janus-related or otherwise - feel free to stop by!”

Virgil gave him a pat on the back and headed out the open door, planning on retreating to his bedroom. When he walked in, however, he saw Roman in the corner, going through his CD collection. He felt a groan build up in the back of his throat, and added a little bit of his Anxiety oomph to it. “Princey!”

Roman jumped, dropping Pretty. Odd. by Panic! At the Disco on the floor. His face and ears flushed red and he scratched the back of his neck. “Virgil! How’s it going… buddy?”

Virgil rolled his eyes and picked up the disc. At least it was still in the case. “What’s the deal, Princey? And if it’s about Janus-” Virgil said when Roman opened his mouth to respond, “I already talked to Pat about it and my energy for heart-to-hearts is depleted. It’ll be five to seven business days before I’m in the mood for another one.”

Roman raised an eyebrow. “I was going to ask if you wanted to watch Lilo and Stitch with me. I’m not in the mood to talk about the snake.”

There was enough venom in Roman’s voice that Virgil knew it wasn’t his place to pry, so he ignored it. “Uh-uh. My turn to pick the movie.”

Roman frowned, but something in his eyes looked relieved that Virgil was willing to join him in his distraction. “Somehow, I feel like it’s always your turn.” Virgil raised an eyebrow. “Fine. What are we watching?”

Virgil grinned. “Coraline.”

—

Virgil stood in the kitchen, making popcorn, becoming increasingly annoyed that he could see the dark brown roots of his hair in his reflection in the glass. He’d have to redo it sooner than he was planning if it was getting on his nerves this much. And warn the others before he did, since it would certainly stink up the bathroom. He glanced at the fridge. Logan had put up a magnetic whiteboard a long time ago, and Patton had bought four markers for it, a dark blue, a light blue, a red, and a purple. One for each person that lived in the house. Virgil noticed that a yellow one had joined the collection. “Damn it, Patton.” He muttered to himself, taking the purple one and uncapping it. The only note on it was one of Patton’s weekly motivational quotes. “Folks that mind don’t matter and folks that matter don’t mind!” it said. Virgil snorted. He wondered if Deceit had even noticed the efforts Patton was going to to include him. Hell, he’d even gotten a personalized whiteboard quote! Not even Virgil had gotten that before. They were usually just blanket statements that worked for everyone, like the “You are enough!!! ❤” that appeared after the courtroom debacle, or the “Your only limit is your mind!” that was hastily scrawled during Logan and Roman’s debate about Thomas’ motivation. He raised the marker and wrote underneath it, “doing my hair @10:30 sunday morning,” his handwriting small and cramped but still big enough to be legible. He paused. The room was silent. That was weird.

“Shit, the popcorn!” He muttered, bolting back over to the microwave and taking out the packet. “Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit-” He was burning his fingers, and it hurt, but he was much more focused on the charred smell that was drifting from the bag into the air.

Roman turned back to look at him from the couch. “You alright, Virge?”

Virgil winced. “Yep!” He took a whiff of the bag and bit his lip. “How- um- burnt would you say you tend to like your popcorn?” He could practically hear Roman’s confusion. “You know what, don’t answer that, because this was the last packet. The popcorn’s going to be a little crispy.” There was no point in pretending that anything else could happen. He pulled a metal bowl out of the cupboard and poured the popcorn into it. Virgil happened to like his popcorn a little burnt, so maybe some of it might be salvageable to him, but he was almost certain that Roman wouldn’t. Roman couldn’t even drink coffee without a pound of sugar in it, there was no way he would eat something as bitter as extra-crispy popcorn. Virgil sighed and glanced around the kitchen, eyes darting desperately from distraction to distraction before he honed in on a target. Perfect. He smiled, grabbed it and took the two items into the living room where Roman was waiting.

Roman glanced up from the couch as he pulled up the movie. “Gummy worms? Oh, Virgil, you really shouldn’t have.” There was something lurking beneath his words.

“Of course I should have,” Virgil plopped down on the couch next to him, tossing the bag of gummies into Princey’s lap and adjusting the bowl on his own, “I fucked up the popcorn. You deserve snacks with your movie.”

Roman looked into the bowl and wrinkled his nose. “What did you do to it, Emo? I didn’t know popcorn could get that charred.”

“I got distracted and kinda zoned out?” Virgil took a deep breath. “Someone - I assume Patton, who else - got Janus a marker.”

Roman’s hand froze halfway to his mouth, several gummy worms stuffed into it. Actually, his whole body seemed to have frozen, his face was the only thing that seemed to be shifting whatsoever. Virgil noticed something shift in his eyes; they became shiny and wet. And bloodshot. Very quickly.

A tear trickled out. “They didn’t listen.” Roman said, putting the gummy worms into his mouth. “Of course they didn’t. I always have to be wrong, don’t I?” He laughed, but it was cold and sharp. “How fucking ironic is that? The knight - the prince, even - always being the one in the wrong. I’m fucking sick of it.”

“They didn’t even give me a heads-up.” Virgil’s words were barely louder than a whisper. Roman looked at him, surprised. “I just walked in this morning and he was sitting right here.” He patted the couch next to him. “Watching some kind of true crime shit. Nobody told me. I was barely even awake- I didn’t know what to do. I talked to Patton but… I don’t know. I just can’t feel good about this.”

Roman took the bowl of burned popcorn. Virgil hadn’t touched it. He opened the bag of gummy worms and offered it to him. Virgil took some, shoving them in his mouth miserably and switching the TV to Disney+. Roman raised his eyebrows, tear tracks still stained on his face. “Don’t pity me, Virgil. Of all the things I want from you, your pity will never be one.”

“I just want you to pick tonight. I’m not in the mood for Coraline anymore.” Virgil knew that Roman really needed something to control. He wasn’t pitying the prince, he just wanted to support him in the little ways he could. He handed Roman the remote like it was an olive branch. Roman took it.

He was going to have another chat with Patton soon.

Alright. Willis Todd being an abusive father to Jason is a trope often utilized. Comparing this version of him to Bruce's reactions to Red Hood is fantastic. Lots to analyze there.

However, I raise you. There needs to be more fanwork addressing the classism behind Willis Todd being characterized as an abusive alcoholic. In some version of canon, Willis Todd was a good dad in a shitty situation. He was poor, his wife (Catherine) was sick, and he had a newborn baby he needed to provide for. In this horrid situation, where he has no family to fall back on and no higher education to obtain a decent well-paying job, he tries to get quick money. He's desperate to keep both his wife and son alive.

Catherine turns to drugs because it's easier and cheaper to buy drugs than healthcare. The pain she experiences is debilitating, and she'd do anything to not feel pain for one godsdamned second. Unfortunately, this turns into an addiction.

This ultimately shapes the way that Jason views crime. Bruce, while he may be sympathetic to individuals who resort to crime to pay their bills, will not understand huddling in Crime Alley in the dead of winter as he debates whether to buy food or pay for heating. He won't understand the bitterness, hatred, pain, and resignation of never having enough money to survive as you get chewed up again and again.

If Jason's dad is just an abusive criminal, that not only perpetuates the notion that all criminals are evil, but it will shape how Jason views those who commit crime. Breaking the law doesn't make someone bad. There's plenty of reasons people commit crime, whether to survive, protect someone, or something else. The issue, especially in Gotham, is the system that perpetuates wealth inequality through bribes and unethical governmental practices.

Anyway, I think Jason's Red Hood is more fleshed out if it accounts for him acknowledging the desperation behind goons and small-time criminals because he grew up without other options.

#dc comics #dc universe #jason todd #catherine todd #willis todd #as far as i know catherine's health problems (outside addiction) are implied but not explicitly stated #yes jason did crime as well as a kid but seeing your father commit crime to survive is another matter #bruce commits crime out of choice not survivalistic need #bruce has suffered but he doesn't have this experience or understanding that Jason did #bruce and jason can both understand logically that gotham systems are fucked but jason knows it intimately #jason being bitter and angry at the world for the wealth inequality and corrupt/cruel systems in place should come up more

I love how aai establishes that miles edgeworth is spending all his free time like, defeating internationally wanted criminal masterminds in a battle of wits. and then he goes to court and his opponent is phoenix wright who at any given time has a handful of evidence he picked up off the ground and a concussion. and phoenix wins

#ace attorney #don't want to imply that miles edgeworth is cool here (he is not)#however every day of his life he meets the leader of a crime ring who has killed several people and somehow also has diplomatic immunity #and destroys them with facts and logic #aai #mine

Something that confuses me, is redditors logic of Mike's behavior? Specifically when it comes to the painting it just doesn't make sense to be fully convinced Mike can't possibly return Will's feelings?

For starters, they insist that Mike was uncomfortable with Will at the airport because he could sense Will's feelings for him and so that's why he couldn't hug him (as to not lead him on), and also panicked when he saw the painting bc he realized that he was probably the girl Will liked (according to El's letter). By their logic, Mike was obviously just uncomfortable with Will's feelings for him and the fact that he made a painting for him (with romantic implications) and that's because he does not return those romantic feelings whatsoever...

If we then apply that same logic to the van scene?... What the actual fuck is going on there then?

We got almost 5 seconds of Mike just staring at Will while he isn't looking as he's grabbing the painting, followed by Will handing it to Mike who looks confused like, For me? Are you sure? very visibly nervous, only to finally open it and look more relieved and happy than we've ever seen him, arguably in the entire show...?

Mind you, this is at a point when Mike fully assumed the painting is for a girl someone Will likes, right?

I repeat! According to their logic, Mike is under the assumption that this painting is for someone Will likes, and Mike is now currently finding out that it's for him and he is relieved???

WHY WOULD MIKE BE RELIEVED THAT WILL'S PAINTING IS FOR HIM, IF WERE BEING GIVEN A SCENARIO THEY ALREADY BELIEVE HAPPENED AT THE START OF THE SEASON, WITH MIKE BEING UNCOMFORTABLE WITH IT??

AND WHY DID MIKE LOOK HAPPIEST BEFORE WILL SAID EL'S NAME? WHY DID HIS SMILE LITERALLY FALL AFTER WILL SAID EVEN EL, ESPECIALLY EL?

AND WHY DID MIKE LOOK MOST EMOTIONAL WHEN WILL WAS DESCRIBING THEIR RELATIONSHIP OVER THE LAST YEAR PERFECTLY, USING WORDS MIKE ALREADY USED WHEN HE MADE UP WITH WILL EARLIER IN THE SEASON???

#byler #stranger things #like... it just doesn't add up #either mike wanted will's painting to be for him or he didn't #and by their logic #mike doesn't like will and already knows about wills feelings for him and is trying to let him down easy #they assume the van scene is mike letting will down...#but...? where in that scene does mike look uncomfortable with the prospects that this is for mike specifically and from will specifically?#bc i would argue that he looks most uncomfortable at the points when will says el's name...#basically they need to understand previous scenes properly to even come close to understanding the van scene #you need to understand that mike didn't hug will at the airport bc he's scared of making his feelings obvious #then when he sees the painting he's experiencing a moment of hope that will brought it to give it to him #but then suddenly will is implying it isn't for mike #and now mike is being dubbed a knock off for the rest of the day and proceeds to be a self pittying idiot when his dominos fall (his words)#and so that is why when he gets the painting and thinks its from will at first and isn't for a girl but for mike... he looks relieved #bc that's what he was hoping for in the fucking first place #wake up ppl

"why is there only 1 RB per planet. why dorsn't the moon get an RB. what even is a soul" are all good questions and i have another!

if john killing the planets produced the resurrection beasts, if the reason he killed the planets was to get a thanergy boost from their deaths, and a thing must have a soul for it to be killed, does this mean the fucking sun has a soul?

ugh you know before nona came out i was semi-convinced that alecto was actually the RB of the sun. which doesn't really make sense bc how could there be life on the sun. but john said he reignited the sun, and that he continued to power it, and his eyes kind of look like an eclipse, you get it. so YEAH i'm with you here, if john actually resurrected the sun then it seems like it's gotta have a soul right?!! IF john is telling the truth, which seems to be a big if, because in HTN right as we believe john's death is causing the sun to collapse he suddenly re-forms and tells augustine that he can't actually be killed by the RBs or by mercymorn, so no need to worry about Dominicus after all, except how it may have toasted the sixth a little bit there, whoopsie! BUT then in NTN john does say he "bit through the sun first" so like!! what is the deal!!

#AND in john 5:4 harrow implies that not all the planets were fully colonized at the time of the resurrection #which lines up with what john says in HTN about the lyctors going to hammer away at the Houses #soooooo if an installation/colony was not complete. how big of an RB does that get you? does it even get you an RB?#anyways i don't still think alecto is an RB of the sun but i do still think either something is fucky or #the internal logic is just a little wibbly. we don't even know what a theorem is i am not expecting this to be fully explained at any point #the locked tomb #asks #ossifer-bones

A sentient tree branch and a wooden puppet discuss children.

#genshin #scarahida #wanhida #and that should cover the blacklists #i was talking about this with fero and we came to the conclusion that it would be build-a-baby (literal)#nahida is a branch of irminsul and i think it's either theorized or implied that scara (and the shogun) is made from irminsul wood #so naturally her logical approach is 'give me some time and your blueprints if you can and i'll see it done'#how do you create life? the answer is with solid blueprints and the right materials #ray's records

I just got psychic damage by hearing Lauriam’s name on youtube pronounced as “larry-am”

#the guy keeps saying it like that throughout and I’m just like no😰#gives me that fear of how will the eng dub will eventually pronounce his name #the way his name starts looks like the word ‘laurel’ like the plant #so I argue that’s more fitting and sounds more elegant like that #and by saying it like that larryam u imply that his diminutive nickname would be larry and not laurie #now i can’t help but imagine brain calling him larry as a joke and lauriam just side eyes him like ( ¯−¯ )#(plus side note the way his name ends is a lot like the suffix -arium implying a purposeful place or setting like planetarium terrarium etc #so his name breaks down to meaning an enclosure or space where laurel is kept #Laurel leaves classically symbolized as a mark of achievement #very befitting of this overachiever who’s done with all his tasks by noon #and now a headcanon his parents were like what should we name our fancy son something distinctive but still regular sounding…#solution: combine the names Laurence and William there ya go #kh #khux #lauriam #all this typed out because I couldn’t ignore the way this person said his name 🧍🏽#extra side note for fun his name in Spanish would be lorellermo??? lorenmo??#edit: wait wait how about FLORELLERMO 💐✨👏 I’ll be here all night #I’m using the squidward naming logic cause he’s called calamardo in Spanish (calamari and Eduardo)

Y'know, even *if* it did turn out that Link "only" gave her the house and his hairband... that's still romantic and peak simp(affectionate) behaviour?

Immediately giving a girl I just saved the world with all my earthly possessions sounds like a pretty romantic thing to do to me. Why yes, of course you can have my favourite hairband I've worn all the time since before the calamity and my childhood home and my bed and literally everything I own, you don't even have to ask

#zelink #totk #and we know link would do it without being asked to #see: torch scene #It's really not the “owning the cringe shippers” some people think it would be #you fools...Link is still completely and utterly simping for her in either scenario #that would still imply Link likes Zelda enough to give her all of his things #I am always a cohabitation supporter though #not just them healing together is important to me but because it's what is most logical for these characters and the timeskip

There is a wolf in front of House, and onstage, and next to him. They all have teeth, and he keeps his mouth shut because he doesn’t yet.

He’s in class, in that big lecture hall, but he’s also onstage, giving a presentation to students on how to treat a patient presenting with leg pain.

Hair shorn short. Military cut, like Dad. Wolfskin wrapped around his chest, legs spread, slouched down, hiding near the back, so he won’t call on himself. So he’ll blend in with the pack.

“Hey, House,” House calls to himself anyways, and meets his own blue eyes.

House onstage smiles. His teeth are razor sharp.

“It’s a basic truth of the human condition.”

House suppresses a bleat. Doesn't bare his teeth and doesn’t look away.

“What is it?”

Don’t reply.

“What’s the truth?”

He knows the answer.

“Come on you idiot, what is it?”

House in the audience won’t answer. Just sits there, pathetic, neutered, insolent girl. He watches (feels) his jaw work, smells the sweat, hears the blood rushing, the increasing thump, thump, thump.

“What is it?” he roars, stepping forward and the world drops beneath him. His leg gave out. He forgot his cane.

He looks up at the class and eyes stare back at him. All red. All hungry. He bares his own teeth. Wolves are supposed to protect their own.

“The truth is,” the wolf beside him says. House turns to where Wilson sits, chewing something. “That everybody lies.”

When Wilson smiles, his fangs are stained green.

#something something gender anxieties. performative masculinity. the whole “men are bad” fear. etc. meant to be a nightmare #inspired by the wolf-sheep discussions from the server tn...#house md #house md drabble #house md fic #gregory house #hilson #tw surreal #trans house #cw implied violence #house fic #might turn this into something longer... idk!#messy but i've been on a real poetry grind lately so this is PROGRESS. this is a COHESIVE narrative! there is LOGIC. there is a SEQUENCE.

honestly, the absurdity is that Chibnall (and co) shouldn't get any props for just sticking Dhawan in 13's costume in tpotd (I sincerely doubt it's something that even went to the showrunner as an active question?? The scene was him regenerating into her body that was at the time wearing that outfit. You literally wouldn't assume he'd be wearing anything Else other than what was on the body in question to start with because of 60 years of precedent. I imagine that the costume department's only decision was to make 13's costume in a bigger size so he wouldn't hulk out of it).

There was no boundary pushing or much of Anything going on there at all, it was just plain logic. And even aside from the fact that it was just a consequence to an effect, They just had a man wear a slightly silly looking costume made of pants, boots, a t-shirt and a coat. which is not notable. Men wear those all the time.

It's absurd that i'm sitting here irritated that the above is getting a pat on the back when it is an entirely neutral thing that means exactly nothing. And while I am more than aware why the above thing is getting such treatment, it's still not notable as an action at all, up to the point that i I strongly doubt it was even a conscious decision by the production. A conscious decision and an active sequence of choices here would have been Not doing it. Which is what people are really talking about here anyway.

#dw shit #i just don't think that implying that anything that Wasn't done here was some kind of Stance is helpful or more importantly i guess #even correct?#it was simple logic that required no Active decision making on anybody's part #and the simple logic has no moral ethical or political stance to it #This half of “The Issue” is not the issue or notable at all #now you can throw spaghetti at a wall and ask if the scene would have happened had 13's outfit been a dress or something #but that would Entirely be a thought exercise #bc we'll never know.

An idea I have but don't want to write - Minerva sees Desmond sacrifice himself and feeling somewhat guilty, she broadcasts who desmond is and what he has done into the minds of every human on earth - in doing so also spilling the beans on the Isu and the Juno, and also assassins and Templars. Every single human being now knows that Desmond Miles died to save the world. A stereo is panicking. The assassins are freaking out. JUNO is freaking out. Religions are freaking out. And also new ones featuring Desmond start being made.

Minerva just going:

I get it. I have a lot of ideas I don’t wanna write too. We write what we want and what makes us happy. Sometimes, the ideas we have are just ‘hey, you know what would be awesome/fucked up’ but at the same time we’re like ‘hhhmm… yeah.. not gonna write that…’ Sometimes, ideas just remain ideas in the end and that’s okay.

Okay, but on a more serious note, this has soooo many things that could go wrong. Like, Minerva’s pretty much going “fuck it, I’m already dead by this point, it’s no longer my problem!” and screwed up everybody in the process.

Let’s not even focus on Desmond yet.

By blowing the lid on what the Isus were, Minerva had effectively hit a deadly blow to every religious organization in the world. Not only that, the scientific world would be scrambling as everything they know to be true about the world must be scrutinized now that they know that there was an ancient civilization before them.

Then there are those drenched in power and those who desire power.

Politicians, terrorists, CEOs of corporations that control the world, etc…

They would be scrambling to get ahold of these POEs because they would be a source of power that they do not have but crave.

And now we get to the shit that comes to light because of Desmond…

The Templars and Assassins.

The Templars have it harder. Soooo much harder.

They’re Abstergo. Their deeds have been broadcast which included Desmond’s abduction, forcing him to relive his ancestors’ life, toying with his feelings using Lucy Stillman and…

Oh yeah.

The Great Purge gets uncovered too because Desmond hears about it and there are journalists and conspiracy theorists that smelled blood in the water and they’re definitely eating everything they can.

The Assassins are panicking but they’re fine, all things considered. They’re used to hiding. Rebecca, Shaun, and Bill are the only ones whose faces everyone knows right now (also Desmond’s mom, I guess?). But the rest can still stay in the shadow.

And now…

The world is shifting.

Religions featuring Desmond as a messiah and even a god (the one true god, the god of humans, not the false gods of the Isus) are popping up and they’re making things... actually easier for the Assassins.

Because they all have the same thing in common.

They wear white hoods.

Some wear hoodies.

Others go for the whole white robes that are pretty much monk robes.

So now the Assassins have an easy way to blend in.

It’s like they’re retreading the path walked by the Levantine Brotherhood during the Third Crusades.

But this time, it is the cults and religions worshipping Desmond Miles that are sweeping the world.

Shaun, Rebecca, and Bill knew that Desmond would have hated this.

He had sacrificed himself so that the world would not treat him as a god.

So that his deeds and words wouldn’t be twisted into fanaticism.

But, in the end, that was what was happening.

The religion and cults are joining together, creating a large religious organization that places Desmond as the one true god (although some say that he is a human turned god, others say he is a reincarnated god). Altaïr, Ezio and Ratonhnhaké:ton are even getting added to the 'doctrines', being called prophets and saints. Some sect even consider them Desmond the god taken human form. Haytham, if he is even added, is more divisive with many sects calling him a false Prophet while others call him a Fallen Prophet.

This religious organization marks every other religion as worshipping false gods and it doesn’t help that Juno has shown herself, protected by her own cult or whatever bullshit those nutbags call themselves (the Instruments of the First Bitch or whatever). Juno is showing a very bad image of the old gods and that’s only making everything so much worse.

And that is how…

The Holy Wars begin anew.

#i saw this and my brain went 'hey you know what would be so fucked up'#holy wars man #it's an interesting plot #but man it'll be heavy #and dark #i mean holy wars is the logical conclusion #thanks to the isus #maybe this will end in the world finally coming together #or a much screwed up idea would be that it ends the way ac3's 'desmond becomes god' idea was implied to end #only this time #the father of understanding is desmond #the religion of desmond becomes the next templars #ngl the desmond religion reminds me a lot of the kira worshippers XD #assassin's creed #desmond miles #ask and answer #teecup writes/has a plot
