“why bother writing bisexual characters if they just end up in a m/f relationship”
my dude
my guy
my pal
stop talking forever
Oh I have never reblogged faster in my life
Watching my bi friends’ identities get erased when they‘re in m/f relationships makes me think it’s even MORE important to write bi characters in m/f relationships and then be REALLY BLATANT about the fact that one or both of them is bi.
Oh my gosh. Sombra shivering after he breathes against her skin and gently nips at her ear.
Imagine the first time Sombra pulls down her hood and McCree just stops and puts his hat over his heart because he has never seen such a beautiful person ever before in his life.

People know that Tabata was limited under CEOs thumbs right? The people who only know money, and how to keep more of it for themselves? Not the actual creators or the creatives? He had to work with absurd limitations and he pulled off a goddamn miracle.
They’ve outright said FFXV saved Final Fantasy. The franchise. The whole goddamn thing.
They get to do more with World of Final Fantasy because Tabata saved the franchise.
They get to keep moving forward with the FF7 Remake (which our boy disappointment himself Nomura the Flake said just recently was announced way too early, in a nervous way) because TABATA saved Final Fantasy.
They get to crossover with tons of other IPs from other studios, making money off of Noctis, because of Tabata.
And what of Tabata, as a person, and his visions for the game?
He always asked fans questions. He wanted to hear them directly, to understand, so he could improve.
He always said he wished they didn’t have to cut so much, but he was forced to release on a schedule. And that was because of The Flake’s flakery.
He also always said HE wanted to write more with Luna. He wanted to give her more content.
The fact that he has left Square and Luminous entirely is suspect as fuck. And I don’t trust the CEOs. They’ve been fucking over this show since letting Nomura announce it as Versus 13.
Want to have one really nice set of plates and silverware for company and Thanksgiving.
Want to be able to buy a new outfit and a good bra at least a couple times a year.
Want to be able to give “just because” gifts.
Want to burn incense and candles in my home daily, and have nice soaps.
Want to be able to donate to charity frequently and without worry.
Want to buy hardcover books to read and put on a shelf for my kids to read someday.
Want to have candies in bowls for people who visit.
Want to be able to take my young siblings and cousins to a movie and let them get the big popcorn they won’t finish, because there’s magic in just having it.
Want to have a linen closet or at least a linen shelf.
Want to go see live local theater several times a year.
Want to have a bottle of wine or champagne in the house for when I suddenly need to celebrate.
Want to have a kitchen with basic baking supplies so I can bake bread on the weekend, and pies for special occasions.
I just want to be comfy.
That is my definition of ‘wealth’, as contrasted with ‘excess’. As my mother in law put it – if I can see a little something in a store that I know a friend would love, and just BUY it for them without having to worry about whether I can afford it in the budget, that means I’m well off. And that? That is what I want.
my favourite ever literary trope is “you want me to be a villain? i’ll show you a villain” that shit gives me goosebumps and given the right context also turns me on
Hi. Hey. Here’s my personal feelings about the whole Ardyn thing. This is where I stand currently as a person.
I don’t care that Lucian history paints Somnus as a noble and good king, because history always paints the victors in a positive light. I don’t care that he sounded sad when he asked Noctis to save Ardyn, because he’s the one who abandoned the man in the first place, helped erase him from history, and was also willing to let all the innocent civilians of Insomnia die. I don’t care if he had good intentions or if he was pressured by the gods or his people, he left his brother in a deep, dark pit for an unknowable amount of time because of a prophecy and HELPED ERASE HIM FROM HISTORY.
I do not care one ounce for Somnus. In a game where Noctis’ retainers, friends, brothers-in-arms are willing to risk everything for HIM and not some divine plan, in a game where the theme song is literally “Stand by Me,” this fucker did none of that.
At the end of the day, Somnus went along with daemonizing his brother. His bloodline struck from history the gods’ involvement in their own fabled Healer’s supposed downfall. Over the centuries, no one was even allowed to conceive of an alternative to SAVE Ardyn instead of damn him and kill him after years of torment. Years that became two millenia.
Ardyn is a cruel, homicidal man, make no mistake. He takes back all those lives he helped save. But had one Somnus fuckin’ Izunia given nearly half an ounce of love to Ardyn that goddamn Ignis Scientia gave to Noctis he wouldn’t be. If Ardyn had popped outta that prison to find a world that celebrated his sacrifice and mourned him, that REMEMBERED him and wasn’t afraid to admit it fucked up…that man wouldn’t be NEARLY as pissed off as he has every right to be.
Congratulations, you made your own damn monster. And you have the gall to be SAD. Two thousand years after the fact, after being willing to let Insomnia fall because the gods say to look towards the future and not the suffering right under your nose. Fuuuck you. You are no king, and certainly no brother.
There is a book called “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas“
Omelas, was a shimmering city of unbelievable happiness and delight. But the city’s constant state of serenity and splendor
requires that a single unfortunate child be kept in perpetual filth,
darkness, and misery. In a way, the one unfortunate child of Omelas have a smililar but better fate than Ardyn. They were mortal, their suffering would end soon; and each and every citizen of Omelas, at 8 years old, would know and meet this child in their prison. They were allow to acknowledge the price of their happy lives while people in Eos were clueless till the last moment, generations after generations.
Life as we know it, are made from endless
interaction between countless being, both intentionally and
unintentionally; but what if you find out all the privilege you have so
far, all have build directly on the suffering of a single innocent person, kept in perpetual filth, darkness, and misery for eternity…. Would you still enjoy your life, or you would be “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas”?
Noctis, the chosen king, have make his choice, since his homeland already ruined, he choose to walk away and also free an other man from his shackles. The debt of his family to Ardyn, he paid for it with his own.
And what about Somnus? He couldn’t even mourn his own brother. Queen Elizabeth keep a secret portrait of her convicted mother in her ring, and what did Somnus do? Enjoy the throne while his own brother suffer. The throne was build on countless effort of Ardyn in saving people.
I don’t agree with how Ardyn pour his anger on innocents descendants and there is no way to say that he wasn’t a villain; but
if he did that on 100 years span or 3-5 generation after the betrayal; I
would gladly help him with full force.
I am popping back into existence after literal months of not using this blog only to say how amazing I find that you also thought of Omelas. It’s a wonderful, profound, sad little short story by Ursula K LeGuin and it’s been on my mind A LOT recently.
You guys should give it a read, it’s easy to find online
Insomnia was content building its happiness on the suffering of one doomed child. Simple math says it was the right choice. But Noctis showing compassion right at the end there tells me he didn’t think it was right. And that’s why I love him so much.
I understand that sometimes it is very hard to push yourself forward when your mind goes to a very, very dark place. And I understand how it can seem that in order to be able to do even the normalest of things that the entire day becomes daunting.
But I want you to know, that I am proud of you.
Why?
Because despite the fact that you feel as you do, the lack of motivation that you feel, you reached out to me to be your shield. And while I know that I normally must remind you to do so, the fact that you came to me, reached out for even the smallest push, makes me very proud of you.
Shouldering one’s burdens is hard on your own, but together honigbiene, we will get through anything.
Now…if there’s one thing I do know well it’s how those new jobs can kinda throw ya off kilter, and for a bit of a loop. And at the end of the day your kinda surprised as to just how taxin’ things can be.
I also know however that after a time, it gets easier. Ya get stronger, and suddenly, the things that bothered ya the most in the beginning don’t seem to bother ya none.
You sir, are one hell of a strong man.
I mean, you’ve let nothin’ hold ya back before. And if I know ya, like I do know ya, this will eventually be just one more simple little hurdle that you’re gonna hop over, and then you’ll wonder what all the fuss was about.
Also, who knows, maybe a better opportunity will start comin’ your way and you’ll get to look back on this job as just somethin’ that was a bit of experience along the way.
Shaun: Hello! Hi. Shaun Hastings here. Ah, just popping in for a moment to remind you that you have got a rare opportunity here to really live the past, you know? The sights, the sounds, the smells, the, uh–the tastes….
And you know on the subject of taste, I can’t help noticing but you have wandered into a pub. Oh pubs… eh? Did you know that Victorian London was home to almost four thousand pubs? Well, it was and most of those pubs brewed their own beer.
Actually, um, I just had a little thought. If you were to say… I don’t know, sample your ancestors’ memories of some lovely beverages and Rebecca can always–you know–process those DNA strings and make them available to other users. Purely, you know, for archival purposes, of course.
Rebecca: What he’s saying is he wants you to drink old booze and email the taste sensation to him… and somehow he’s roped me into helping him do it.
Shaun: This is a legitimate historical inquiry.
Rebecca: Hey, if you wanna digital baby birding from the recruit, I’m not gonna stop you. In fact, I’d rather not get anywhere near that.
Just because you were tiny, it didn’t mean you couldn’t pack a mean punch
Which was something Desmond learned after challenging you to an arm wrestling contest and you managed to sprain his wrist after slamming it to the table with ease
Sometimes he’ll wake up and find you spooning him
It does amuse Desmond that his small S/O had become the big spoon when it was normally the other way around
When you’re forced to fight off guards or whoever your opponents were, you would be the ambusher while Desmond took care of any tall hulking personnel
He did have to admit that the two of you were an efficient duo
You would either have to stand on your tiptoes to kiss him or he would have to lean down to even peck your cheek
Desmond absolutely loved it when you hugged him and your head either rested on his lower back or the middle of his stomach
Absolutely loves using you as an armrest
It’s definitely worth the punch he gets when he does it though
He can and will kiss you Spiderman style whenever he can
Desmond has met a lot of people of various heights, so dating a person who was a foot shorter than him wasn’t a big deal for him
Shaun Hastings:
Doesn’t mind that you’re short
He values wit and knowledge retention a little bit above appearances
Shaun is okay with you sitting on his lap while reading a book
He’s more open to having you on his lap if it’s something he’s interested in and if you read it aloud
Doesn’t mind if he spoons you or you spoon him
Although he will never admit it, he loves it when you spoon him
Just having your miniature frame wrapped around him somehow
Shaun won’t mind if he has to lean down to kiss you
He actually feels better doing that than making you stand on your tiptoes so you can reach his cheek
Absolutely loves lifting you up by the waist just to give you a proper kiss
He accepts your height for what it is. You don’t get to control your genetics after all
Desmond: He loves to wrap his arms around you while he’s playing video games, his controller in your lap and his head nestled in the crook of your neck. During loading screens he’ll sneak in little pecks to your cheek and neck, and smile against your skin whenever he hears Shaun yell at him for his “public and obnoxious display of affection”.
Ezio: He wants physical contact constantly. That’s just the kind of person he is. It didn’t take you long to figure out that if he doesn’t get a hug or kiss every now and then, he starts to feel a bit lonely. He likes to gently run his hands down your sides and arms when you cuddle, or when you’re lazily lying in bed. It drives you insane (in a good way, of course) when he leans in and whispers loving words in Italian, and your heart skips when his long eyelashes brush your cheek.
Altaïr: He’s not one for cuddling. He’s had a strict childhood, and is used to being shown little affection, and it doesn’t help that he’s the cockiest man on earth (no pun intended). But he’s got such a soft spot for you, that when you give him your trademark puppy dog eyes, he instantly melts and laces his fingers with yours and sit down for a quick snuggle. When you do finally rope him in, he loves to kiss your hands, paying special attention to each knuckle. He’s strong, athletic, and very standoffish, but god does he love you.
Edward: The only thing he loves more than money and rum is you and your beautiful smile. He’s obviously not the softest man in the world, but if there’s one thing he’d never get tired of, it’s you touching him. Cuddles, hugs, kisses, playful butt slaps, he doesn’t care. As long as he can have his hands all over you, he’s perfectly satisfied. Sometimes he simply holds your hand while driving (Edward isn’t one to listen to safety precautions), sometimes he likes to snuggle and play with your hair, but usually he’d rather just hold you and make out. Cheeky welsh bastard.
Connor: The thing about Connor that you love the most is his how sweet and shy he can be. When you first started dating, he was scared to hug you tighter than what could be described as a friendly pat, because he didn’t want to hurt you. But as you grew closer and you assured him that you’d love some hardcore snuggles, he became much more comfortable. He especially likes to wrap his arms around you and rest his chin on your head. The feeling of your bodies pressed together gave him much comfort, and despite his large and sometimes scary appearance, he’s really a sweetheart who craves affection. Your affection, specifically. Sometimes you’d do the dishes even when it wasn’t your turn, so you he’d come sneaking behind you and slide his arms around your waist while you scrub the pots and pans. The poor thing hasn’t even caught on to your tricks yet.
Shaun: When you first started dating, you never imagined Shaun would be as affectionate as he is. He’s not a fan of public affection, as seeing other couples on the street shoving their tongues down each other’s throats makes him quite queasy, and something inside that snarky head of his urges him to complain about it very loudly. But he has no qualms whatsoever to you touching him. While we won’t say no to a cuddle every now and then, he’d rather just kiss you. Again. And again. And when you are cuddling, he usually pays more attention to showering you with light kisses than actually enjoying your warm snuggles. (He’d never admit it to you in a million years, but he really just does this to hear you giggle when he gently kisses every inch of you, because your laughter is like sunshine to him.)
Headcanon that Desmond puts up with Shaun’s barbs all day without a peep and, at the end of the day just as Shaun is headed off to bed, Desmond asks an entirely pointless but thought-provoking question along the lines of “do pigeons have feelings” or “can a ghost and a zombie come from the same person” (ie, the meme questions) with an innocent smile and it keeps Shaun up for much of the night.
At which point Shaun is stumbling about half-asleep in the morning and Desmond just leans back with a self-satisfied smirk and grins at Rebecca as if to say “it’s the simple things in life.”
Because I feel like this would totally happen. And Rebecca would have recorded every. Single. One.
Desmond: Ugh, my head hurts.
Shaun: That’s your brain trying to comprehend its own stupidity.
modern au Assassins running podcasts. Connor telling people about his language and culture, Shaun spotlighting moments in history, or Leonardo talking about the latest and greatest scientific advancements and their impact on the world with Ezio guest starring.
domestic au shaundes where they go to home depot to buy house stuff and they cant reach something but instead of getting an employee desmond free runs up the shelf and shaun is like “get the fuck down from there”
He would be confused when you go into detail about various eras of human history
But he would still listen whenever you ramble on about some new discovery that had been recently published
Whenever you two have time together, he always lets you lie on top of him or sit in his lap with a book in hand
Desmond picking up little historical facts on the side and cracking jokes with historical references in them
Watching documentaries may as well be movie night for the two of you
You pointing out historical inaccuracies in various media adaptations of historical events and Desmond laughing when you do
Desmond managing to shut Shaun up with his newfound knowledge of history and you winking at him
Shaun:
Frequent arguments over which historian had the correct viewpoint
Loads of sarcasm for Animus entries that sometimes feature little ‘arguments’ between the two of you
Desmond teasing the two of you of being ‘old-fashioned’
Rebecca not minding what you two do as long as it didn’t interfere with your daily work
Often having to be separated from each other because the two of you always distract people
Either because you’re ‘arguing’ or because you two are the corniest people around
Desmond and Rebecca often find you cuddled up underneath a pile of blankets with a historical show or movie playing and a list of historical inaccuracies
If either Desmond or Rebecca get something wrong, the two of you correct them in a heartbeat
In perfect unison
If you two weren’t dating, Desmond and Rebecca swear that you two may have been twins from different parents
Actually they do. Who are we trying to fool here?
History drew you and Shaun together and history sure as hell won’t try to take you two apart
A/N: Sorry that these headcanons are super crappy! I swear, I have a lot more but my brain won’t cooperate with me and remember them.
It’s not even the fact Shaun and Rebecca aren’t in the games anymore
Things change. I get that.
It’s the fact that they had been upgraded to be the main modern day protagonists in Syndicate, getting to lead the story all by themselves without Desmond, only to be completely removed from the series straight after.
It’s the fact that they had their characters expanded, between Shaun’s speech about living up to Desmond’s memory and Rebecca’s comments about her cousin who could be a Sage etc, only for it to lead nowhere.
It’s the fact that the last time we saw them, Rebecca was bleeding out in Shaun’s arms after taking a bullet for him, proving the depth of their devotion to one another and showing their relationship in it’s most raw form ever, only for us to never see the follow up.
It’s the fact that it’s been 3 years since we last saw them, and the fact that the ONLY time we’ve even heard of them since was a few brief pages of a Last Descendants novel.
It’s the fact that they had been staple characters from AC2 onwards, appearing in every game except Rogue (and Unity for Rebecca) but being referenced in the games they weren’t in, appearing frequently throughout Initiates, being given some of the Assassins most important missions, being on Sigma Team’s most wanted list, and generally being vital to the Brotherhood, only to disappear without a trace.
It’s the fact that they were important characters who were with us for 6 years, in all different forms of AC media, and who we felt attached to, and Ubisoft thinks it’s acceptable to leave them lying on the floor of a London vault forever with no resolution to their story.
It’s the fact they helped save the world, and they don’t receive an ounce of credit for it.
It’s the fact that they deserve better. And I won’t rest until they get it.
Im not so good at the advice. Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?
Shaun: “Single” is a word the government created to give Americans tax disadvantages. If you’re asking me if I’m lonely, the answer is yes.
Lucy: Is masturbating while you’re high called mastur-blazing?
Desmond: No, it’s called high-jacking.
Rebecca: Guys, it’s called weed-whacking.
Shaun: No, it’s called disappointing your mother.
Note:Hey!So here are your pickup lines Admirer #1!Hope i made the right choices;).Tbh i don’t remember the pickup lines from the previous part so excuse me if there are similarities-xx S
Altaïr:I’ll give you a kiss.If you don’t like it,you can return it.
Ezio:There’s only one thing i want to change about you and that’s your last name.
Connor:You may fall from the sky,you may fall from a tree but the best way to fall,is in love with me.
Desmond:Are you wi-fi?Cause i feel a connection.
Edward:I’m not drunk,i’m just intoxicated by you.
Haytham:Do you have a name or can i just call you mine?
Arno:Do you believe in love at first sight? Or should I walk by again?
Shaun:On a rate from 1-10 you are a 9 because I’m the 1 you need.
Jacob:You must be an airbender because you take my breath away.
Shay:If i had a dollar for every time i thought of you,I’d have one dollar because you never leave my mind.
I managed to get this done on time!!! Is not perfect but I am just happy to have got it done.
Shaun got Desmond a cake, he is just angry that Becca decided on beers because of course Desmond “I used to be a bartender” Miles would prefer the beer, ughhh he is never getting any of them another birthday present ever again.
Yeah, y’all is seeing this shit right. It me, in ya feed after ten thousand years.
*tumbleweeds pass by unconcerned*
I dunno really what to say except, umm… I’m alive. This is my first time logging into Tumblr in a year. It feels odd. I can’t say that this is a comeback post, because I don’t think I have it in me to be as active as I used to be in this fandom’s heyday. My inbox and DMs have been wiped for this fresh start, but I do appreciate all of the love and support that I know had been sent to me while I was completely AWOL.
There’s only one way that I can show my appreciation (and apology), and that’s by… well… getting off my dusty ass and finishing this series I started over a year ago. The deadline I gave myself was until KH3 came out, right? And that’s in… January of 2019? I gotta hustle.
I seem to have left off on a tumultuous cliffhanger I would crucify any other fanfic writer for doing. I actually had to go back and re-read my own shit to get a feel of what it was to write again.
This chapter reads differently than the others. Half of it is from Noct’s POV, and the other half is the regular reader insert POV.
If there was a time that Noct felt this abandoned, downtrodden, and drained, then he couldn’t remember it.
His life was never quite the bouquet of roses, even though his late father tried his best to make sure that he had as carefree of a life as possible. Noct didn’t realize how spoiled he was until he left Insomnia, and had to suffer sleeping on the hard ground in a tent out past the comforts of the city limits and actually eat the fish he caught. Yet, he found it strangely ironic that it was at the fanciest resort Duscae had to offer that he found out that Insomnia had fallen and his father was dead.
It was from that moment on that Noct started counting his blessings.
Now, as he trudged through the echoing halls of Zegnautus Keep, hand tightly around the hilt of his father’s sword, he wondered if there was anything else in his life that would be taken away.
A/N: This is looooong overdue, I must extend my apologies for the delay in getting to your request! Still, I’ve been eyeing this request for a long time, and wanted to complete it once I felt more inspired to write FFXV content again. I’m re-charged and ready to go hehe 😀 Read More cut added as to not be obnoxious on anyone’s dashboards with a wall of excessive text xD Content is all SFW! 🙂
Noctis: Honestly, with Noctis you don’t even know he’s interest in you until he just overtly says it to your face. You literally spend weeks in limbo, thinking that he hates you because he goes out of his way to avoid you. In actual fact, Noctis is so easily flustered around you, he doesn’t want to make a fool of himself in front of you or the others. He’s got a princely image to keep up, after all (yes, he does attempt to keep up some vestige of propriety and authority— doesn’t mean it works lol)! Noctis ends up confessing his love after Ignis gets sick of seeing his prince/best friend floundering around like a confused egg, and sends both you and Noctis out to grab some firewood from the bushland nearby. You end up confronting Noctis, rather timidly, asking him if he hates you so much that he can’t even look at you. He literally chokes on air before sputtering on about how that’s the furthest from the truth! He’s bashful when he tells you that he loves you, and the two of you shyly holds hands and return to camp without firewood. Ignis doesn’t mind though— he sees the two of you walk up holding hands, with bashful expressions on your faces, and he’s satisfied with what’s come about. To be honest, Noctis needs a bit of a nudge before he confesses— he will hardly do it on his own because of how shy he is. Ignis = ultimate wing man.
Hey all! I am very excited and pleased to share the teaser trailer for my FFXV cosplay film that I had the honor of being a part of. Everyone I had the pleasure of working with has been nothing but positive and amazing that weekend and am looking forward to doing more cosplay projects with them in the future.
