You know worms are harmless things right? Just there burrowing or something and one day I thought "what if Desmond got turned into a worm?" But! Worm Desmond is small! What can he do to help the Assassin's? And now imagine this! One of his ancestors surrounded by enemies and injured and just when they think it's the end a giant worm the size of a train pops out of the ground and crushes everyone and then the thing is infront of the ancestor and thinks they're gonna die too and then the worm just shrinks down to a typical worm size and just lays there as if nothing happened at all.
It would be cool if Desmond was a Mongolian death worm but I'm fine with anything else
This would be fun because Desmond would see himself as useless and, really, this was the Isus’ cruel joke (maybe even Juno) since he couldn’t do anything with a small wiggly body like his.
Still, he persisted and tried to make his way to his ancestor’s main base of operation, wiggling and eating his way from the place he had woken up in… as a worm. He tried to keep underground to not be seen by both humans and any animals that would like to take a bite of him.
Depending on where he had been transported, he could reunite with his ancestor:
Altaïr: Somewhere in the Kingdom section of the AC1 map. Altaïr had just been on his way to his next mission when he saw crusaders harassing one of the outlying towns that were under Masyaf’s protection. This would still be an arrogant Altaïr and he would call out to them and call them cowards who prey on the weak instead of taking one or two down by surprise first.
Ezio: It would be fun (and angst-y) if Desmond finds Ezio while he’s fleeing from the Borgias after the fall of Monteriggioni. He’s heavily wounded and bleeding and the horse he’s riding on was tired with some of Cesare’s soldiers about to catch up to him.
Ratonhnhaké:ton: Somewhere in the vast frontier. Ratonhnhaké:ton is a hunter so he had been hunting for the homestead when he noticed a group of marching redcoats with what seemed to be ‘prisoners’. He tried to save them but it had been a trap and those prisoners turned out to be redcoats themselves and they managed to hit Ratonhnhaké:ton on the head while he had been trying to protect them.
So Ezio and Ratonhnhaké:ton are in a pinch because of circumstances. Altaïr is in a pitch (which he will adamantly deny) because he’s an arrogant dumbass. So Desmond is panicking because he has no idea how to help, oh god, did this even happen in the past? He meant present! Fuck, time travel tenses are fucking hard.
Focus, Desmond!
In his blind panic, he just charges toward the enemies, hoping to… he has no plan! No hope! Just pure panic and a ‘fuck it, let’s see what I can do once I’m there’.
Then when he’s right on top of the center of the enemies…
He doesn’t know why but he felt his entire body warm up.
Almost too hot but bearable for someone like him.
Then…
He just erupted from the ground with large maw open and just… gobbled the enemy right on top of them while toppling those nearby. Then he quickly returned underground.
And sprang back up to take another enemy.
Like some kind of deadly whack-a-mole… (Whack-a-worm?)
(I know you just wanted him to drop over the enemies but I kinda like the idea of Desmond just straight up eating these poor dudes for some reason. No, there is a reason. I love the Tremors franchise and this ask reminded me of a Graboid. Sorry.)
By the end of it, all the enemies had been swallowed whole and Desmond sprang back up one last time to throw up all of the non-organic matter he had swallowed as well.
Seeing the disgust (and fear) on their ancestors’ face, Desmond let out an almost coo-like sound as he tried to say “yeah, me too, buddy, eeeww” and then poof’ed, he’s his old little worm self once more.
He rolled around the ground and looked up to his ancestor with a “pick me up” like gesture.
When their ancestor just kept staring, Desmond tries a “please?” gesture which he was sure wasn’t really helpful.
But… for some reason… his ancestor picks him up anyway.
Unorganized Notes:
The three can’t explain it but there’s something about the worm that ‘calls’ to them. Like they know that it wasn’t a coincidence that they were saved and spared.
Desmond cannot communicate with his ancestors. Even trying to wrap his worm body in a writing tool proved too hard. Up to you if that changes once they get the Apple.
Altaïr would study Desmond and give him various different ‘food’ to see what he would eat. He records everything in a separate journal with sketches of Desmond. Desmond has made a ‘draw me like one of your French girls’ and a ‘no, no, draw me on this side, this is my good side’ joke so many times even though Altaïr just keeps sighing and gently pushing him to get back to his old pose without understanding why Desmond liked those poses so much whenever he starts sketching him.
Ezio eventually fell unconscious and, when he woke up, he thought it had been a fever dream. Until he sees Desmond had hidden in one of his pouches so that the young woman (who was canonically the model of Mona Lisa according to the Reflection comics btw) wouldn’t see him. Ezio is a bit wary of Desmond because he remembered how Desmond had grown so big all of a sudden but he warms up soon enough when all Desmond did was wrap around his neck and chill while he makes his way to Roma. Desmond has a harder time helping Ezio because the flooring of the streets of Roma means he’s ‘headbutting’ each time he pops up and he does have to throw up the ‘tiles’ or whatever they’re called. Ezio’s recruits usually are wary of him but warm up to him once they see that he’s mostly just harmless if Ezio isn’t fighting. They like to feed him fruits and meat that Ezio starts trying to stop them because Desmond keeps eating them until he bloats up and Ezio feels that it’s bad for Desmond. The moment Leonardo is away from the Borgias, he starts studying Desmond. He had wanted to study Desmond the moment he saw him with Ezio but he couldn’t because of the whole Cesare-as-my-current-art-sugar-daddy situation.
Ratonhnhaké:ton believes Desmond is sentient and a hunter himself so he doesn’t try to coddle him and usually lets him get his own food whenever he goes hunting himself. Desmond doesn’t mind since he can eat dirt anyway but Ratonhnhaké:ton still shares a bit of his hunt with him anyway. Desmond doesn’t understand why though since Ratonhnhaké:ton told him specifically to hunt by himself. Ratonhnhaké:ton doesn’t say it out loud but he always worried that Desmond was not eating as he assumed Desmond is a carnivore that needs to become big to hunt down prey. Nah. Desmond is like most worms, dirt is fine. Ratonhnhaké:ton wasn’t worried about bringing him to the homestead because he trusted his instincts that were telling him Desmond was a friend. He truly believes Desmond is some kind of ‘animal’ that just hasn’t been discovered yet.
All three of them tried to give a name to Desmond and, for some reason, they all come up with the same name even without Desmond’s questionable charade capabilities: Desmond. Altaïr believes the name comes from a dream he once had (Desmond is just “???!!!”), Ezio believes he’s just using a name that had been in his mind a lot since Vatican and Ratonhnhaké:ton is perplexed why he picked such a foreign name but it just seemed right, like he just knew that it was Desmond’s name.
I know some people might be squeamish with worms so I’m going to use the “Keep Reading” function. Below is what the Mongolian Death Worm looks like.
Tumblr media
Also, the whole ‘sprout from the ground to devour people’ thing that derailed this ask is because of the Graboid. It’s not an actual worm but it would be fun if Desmond looks like a white Mongolian Death Worm but his big form is more similar to the albino Graboid (which is meant to look more like a Mongolian Death Worm than the usual Graboid):

everyone reading atr for the first time vs me who read it for the first time three years ago and has been insane about it ever since. (guy who loves the painting motif) the paintings!!!!!!! also i think it’s neat that akio and ruka die again even if juri’s chapter is a bit wobbly wrt dunking on that guy. i dont consider it canon in the strictest sense, primarily bc if touga was 37 years old before he had an ounce of growth it would kill me, but i think its ideas and messaging are largely scrumptious. i deeply enjoy the baby-utena-spectre thing and the utena-prince thing and how transparently and directly the stuco’s perceptions and understandings of who utena was have shaped them; in turn, how that has trapped some remnant of utena in ohtori, as ‘prince’. also shout-out anthy bc the way she functions in atr ohhhhhh it makes me crazy. what chiho saito says about not seeing an aged up utenanthy about seeing only a previous form of themselves that maybe isn’t all that real at all, ohhhhhhh it’s incredible 10/10 no notes on that front for me. we’re still storytelling within ohtori and that is sososososo important. it’s not as good as the movie manga imho, but atr is like. it just holds a special place in my heart for being such a compelling and mixed bag of Stuff. great food for thought. i think everyone should read it honestly im baffled that people are choosing not to

It’s so sweet to me actually how everyone involved in the fnaf movie seems genuinely excited to be part of it. The director dove deep into researching fnaf lore, josh hutcherson was really pumped to be in the movie universe and also knows about the whole fan community, piper rubio hugged the animatronics on set all the time she thought they were awesome, matthew lillard gets to have fun in a horror movie again and his kids are big fnaf fans. Plus all the youtubers who got invited onto the set to cameo and interact with the crew.
It just sounds like a fun environment to be a part of. It feels like a movie by fans for fans

#‘regina’s supposed to be skinny and it doesn’t make sense if she’s not so they should have cast someone else’ SHUT UP!!!#SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!#WHO THE FUCK CARES!!!!!#i hope once it comes out all the people who are hating on her (and her body) are fully gagged when they hear her sing#that will be MY revenge party#anyway they really did everyone in the cast dirty by not marketing it as a musical#because now everyone is simply comparing them to the og movie cast#instead of recognising that it’s a different format which requires different skills and they aren’t trying to directly replicate the og#anyway renee rapp ily <3#also she isn’t the only one who has been getting hate but she’s the one with the most i’ve seen#i saw someone be like ‘no offense to the actress but the point of cast is that she’s really attractive but doesn’t realise it#so this actress just isn’t it’#which is crazy because like. angourie rice IS attractive. wdym.#they’re acting like she looks hideous or something#and as per usual there’s people complaining about janis and karen and damien’s casting and it being an effort to be ‘woke’#anyway. i’m excited for it to come out i don’t even care.#like my expectations aren’t the highest#just because i think they could have gone WAY more exciting with the costuming and stuff#and i’m mourning some of the songs that got cut#but honestly idk i think it’ll be a fun time#this has been much longer than i was expecting but it’s fine#*edit: my phone autocorrected ‘cady’ to ‘cast’

It might just be my experience but I feel like the people who didn’t enjoy the fnaf movie just had misplaced or too high expectations for it
The most common complaints I’ve heard are “not gory enough” “too lore focused” “confusing story” and I just want to gesture to the games like yeah that’s kinda the point
It matches the tone of the games pretty well so if you were expecting something else than that is purely on you

The fun thing about this Au that I’m working on is that I can probably add in some real-world elements and include some scenes of Finn and his Bianca in it.
It was established in the first movie that Emmet represents Finn's feelings and relationships with people (In their own Lego universe), and I do think that Rex is basically just representing Teenage Finn beginning to think Legos are childish or at least shutting himself off from his family a bit more, since Bianca seems to take control of most of the Lego things that he has made, making her own Syspocalypstar compared to the one she and Finn worked on in the alternate timeline. 
Now because Finn would be around 18 in the original timeline, he would be going to college, so I could make that time Rex is out in space a symbol of the time Finn is spending away from his family, but still making new relationships and finding who he is in the world.
The brand new crew that I’m gonna give to Rex is like representing the new friends that Finn has been making and such, helping him build himself as a person instead of trying to be tough and cool all the time, and embracing his love for legos again (The adventures Rex and his crew go on could be just Finn having fun making Lego stories again with help from his friends) 
Now when I get round to the Watevra and Rex 'reunion', that could be kind of like a reconciliation between Finn and Bianca, after the time he and Rex spent away from home (character development and all) to reconnect with each other, sharing their love for legos (For Rex it’s probably going to be more of a father daughter bonding time), and Finn finally enjoying his childhood toys again with his little sister.
God I put way too much thought into this 
This is mostly just a concept, but I think it would be interesting to incorporate some more of the real world along with the Lego world in this Au.
But yeah, those are my thoughts so far, I’m still working out the actual crew, because I really don’t want it to seem like I’m copying from guardians of the galaxy.
I also really should come up with a name for this au, god.

my only guilty pleasure is shark movies because I don’t really believe in “guilty pleasures” like honestly you can kinda suck my dick if you think I shouldn’t like “dark themes” in fiction & I have no guilt over liking bubblegum top 100 pop music or bad movies or fried food or whatever. like the whole idea of guilt over having fun is fucked up to me. but I do actually feel a little bad about loving shark movies because I’m genuinely passionate about shark conservation & I know that shark movies are linked to a negative attitude toward sharks despite statistics showing we’re more of a danger to them than they are to us. but damn it if I don’t LOVE an underwater fight scene with a big scary shark. a scene of a person floating & a shark lurking beneath. godddd the inherent sexiness of the terror of something beneath you in the water
