Before I realised I was bi, my favourite characters were these to bisexual menaces. I'm just drawn to bi characters I guess

What do you think is trans!Jacob's trans awakening?
he's a teen and puts on one of his dad's suit jackets before he puts it in the laundry just bc its a really nicely patterned one and wants to cry and also buys boxer briefs not long after that and stand in the bathroom mirror like Oh Okay I See

completely forgot i did away with my icons so I could redo them >:( i'm gonna be taking a relatively small hiatus from the dash as I collect myself both personally & get everything of Lance together. I'm in a terrible state of mind & i know when I need to take a step back.
as always, you can find me on d!scord at timelxcked with my name being "jacob frye protection squad" (see below) where i'm attempting to be more sociable this year.
you can also find me writing phoenix over on @lawbnd a bit more. :)

goddamn travesty really that you really only get Altair's and Bayek's costumes to dress up in for the Chocobros bc it would be very fun to put them in various Assassins' iconic outfits. I think Prompto would look fantastic in Edward Kenway's outfit.
even more of a travesty that Ardyn doesn't roll up dressed like Jacob Frye, top hat, raven-head cane and all.

How Assassin's Creed's Imagery Created Limitations on Later Sequels
Thesis: A lot of the imagery that made the Assassins so unique and recognizable in AC, and that came to define the series identity, was imagery that made the most sense in the context in which that imagery was originally created. Later sequels in later eras of history had big problems trying to force the clothing or armor of that era to match the aesthetic of the Levantine assassins
This issue presents itself in a few of the series key items that almost every assassin has: The hidden blade gauntlet, the eagle-beaked hood, and the white robes. In AC1, these items made the most sense: The hidden blade was an advanced piece of technology built using 12th century tools: So naturally it makes sense (or at least its easy to suspend disbelief) and say that the blade definitely works, but its a little bulky and requires that entire gauntlet piece that Altair has.
Additionally, the white robes made the most sense in the context of the crusades: The combination of hood, red sash, and white surcoat makes Altair a strange cross between monk and knight, and he can blend into both circumstances. And it makes sense to wear white is a desert setting, so Altair's outfit ends up looking both western and eastern at the same time, which is pretty cool.
Ezio's outfit isn't completely out of step: Is it conceivable that his robes would white? Sure--and I think Ubisoft did a great job of matching Ezio's color scheme to the setting and the setting to Ezio so screw it, it works. I think with AC2 I really only take issue with the hidden blade gauntlet---which is super noticeable, and has an assassin symbol stamped on the top. Even worse, when Ezio gets his second blade, it's actually hidden under his clothes.
But that design choice illustrates the problem quite wonderfully: It was fine for Altair, who lived in a war torn country where armed soldiers of various allegiances were a common enough sight, and where the size of the hidden blade sort of demands the use of the gauntlet. It makes less sense on Ezio, who likely has greater motivation to actually hide the hidden blade---but he doesn't because what Ubisoft wanted to do was to romanticize the imagery of the hidden blade as the assassin's lightsaber equivalent.
Assassin's Creed 3 has a similar issue in which the white robes are suddenly a really odd choice given that virtually no one else is wearing white in the entire game except assassins. So Conner sticks out like a sore thumb, which again really undercuts your ability to feel anonymous, and incognito etc.
While later characters like Arno and Jacob Frye would challenge various aspects of the iconic assassin's outfit---the series still struggles with an issue that can be summed up in the joke: "How do you spot an assassin? Look for the white robed, fully armored jedi who sticks out of the crowd"
