I used to work at a Board Game bar/cafe, and one of the funniest and sweetest memories I have from it is that one day this group of guys came in and they were giving off real like, Chad/gym bro energy, and then they sat down at a table and were playing Ticket to Ride.

About 15 minutes into the game, I hear one of them go "Bro, why do you keep asking what color the tracks are?" And then another guy jumps up with his hands dragging down the sides of his face, almost knocking the table over and goes

"OH FUCK YOU GUYS WE FORGOT DEREK'S COLOR BLIND!"

And then all of the other guys start apologizing profusely and asking Derek why he didn't say anything and Derek's just sitting there with his hands up trying to get everyone to calm down and in the gentlest, shyest voice going "no, no, don't worry, I didn't want to be a bother. " and all of his friends were like "No way bro! Let's find something we can all play together!"

I think about that a lot. I hope they're all doing well.

not me, who finds no one "hot" in the traditional sense (either men or women) still voting on these polls on "which is more aesthetically pleasing" (is that ok if not ill stop sorry)

That's absolutely ok. I've said before that I want people to vote on whatever feels hot to you, in whatever way that means, and I stick by that. Let your vote be guided by looks, lust, aesthetics, desire, vibes, values, politics, scrungliness—whatever helps you decide: if both these hotties came over to you in the bar, which one would you take home?

#and obviously you can tweak the above too if it doesnt fit you (ie not bar but bookstore or cafe)#(or not home for sex but just smooching and convo if you're demi. or board games if you're ace. etc etc)#but the gist. you know. whatever to you says HOT.#asks

I’m sorry but how did I just stumble upon the fact that Jon Gracey (of No Rolls Barred fame) voices my favorite Magnus Archives character (dead goth guy).

This is my new favorite piece of information.

It really is true that all British people know each other.

Out of curiosity, how chaotic a board game sessions (maybe the classic UNO or monopoly) with all the ROs and the staff will be? 🤪

Where do y'all get these amazing prompt ideas from 😭

MONOPOLY GAME NIGHT TIME 🎲

Death is constantly apologizing every time they collect rent. They're also oddly good at the game, probably because they're used to dealing with souls and properties in the afterlife. But every time they come close to winning, they seem almost guilty about it.

Lilith/Damien will not only make sly, under-the-table deals but also definitely cheat whenever they think no one's looking. Yaga, with her sharp accountant's mind, is always the first to call them out, her eyes rolling (well, if the diamonds inside her eye pockets could roll) every time the Devil Prince tries to pull a fast one.

Morgan/Morgana is a whirlwind of reckless decision-making, buying properties with wild abandon. Their familiar, Pepper, offers wise advice but is consistently ignored, leading to disastrous financial mishaps. The Witch's frustration is palpable, but they're too proud to admit it.

Peisinoe is the master of mind games, trying to psych out their opponents with banter and subtle manipulation. Each move they make is like a performance, adding a layer of theatrical intrigue to the game.

Yaga is not just good; she's a Monopoly wizard. Her strategy is impeccable, making moves that leave everyone else in awe – and a bit of fear. She keeps grumbling about the game's unrealistic economy but secretly enjoys it.

while not particularly skilled at the game, Shelly is happy to be playing. She doesn't care much about winning but gets excited every time she passes 'Go' and collects $200.

Hastur, stoic as ever, plays with quiet concentration. He’s surprisingly strategic and has a knack for slowly building a property empire without drawing too much attention.

The Raven is the obvious commentator, making sarcastic remarks, especially when someone lands in jail. "Ah, to eternal damnation you go!" it would caw, amused by the mortal trivialities.

And then there's He Without Name, whose moves are as enigmatic as his persona. No one's quite sure if he even understands the rules because he communicates so cryptically, but somehow, he's always in the game, quite literally the dark horse contender.

Yeah, I'm definitely adding a board game scene later in the game.

was reading through your claudes tag and came across this tag "at this point we’re only missing petruccio and we will have all the auditore siblings x desmond headcanons XD" and it made me think of an au where desmond is reborn around the same time as petruccio is born so they become childhood friends after they hit it off after tthye "coincidentally" meet on one of petruccio's rare days out

so they grow up together with desmond feeling guilty about using petruccio to get closer to petruccio's family not realizing that he's started thinking of them as petruccio's family instead of ezio's and that his motivation has shifted to saving petruccio instead of sparing ezio the pain of seeing his family die

meanwhile petruccio has a puppy crush on desmond forever because desmond while protective of him doesn't coddle him like his family does and also being very understanding about changing plans because of petruccio's disability like "oh we had planned to play outside today but now you're not feeling up to it that's cool lets go play cards, or read together, or play whatever board games existed in renaissance italy"

side tangent had the thought of desmond apprenticing to a woodcarver so that he could learn how to make some of the few board games he can remember from the future to play with petruccio

also i feel like demond would have to have petruccio's crush pointed out to him a la white aster before he has his oh oh moment probably by one of petruccio's siblings letting something slip by accident

The post from the #claudes tag where I did write in the tags that we’re only missing Petruccio from the Auditore family.

With this ask, Desmond now have the complete set XD

Okay, let’s talk about this childhood friends-to-lover setup for Petruccio and Desmond!

Why not just make Desmond be reborn as the son of a carpenter? That would give Desmond easy access to what can be considered as ‘trash’ and he could just start trying to carve it because he keeps on talking about board games he remembered playing and Petruccio always looked interested in playing them but then Desmond would remember that they wouldn’t be invented until later on.

We can even make Desmond’s father a descendant of the Vikings so he could teach Desmond how to carve out his first Orlog set so Desmond would have something to practice on.

From there, Desmond could start bringing his own board games to play with Petruccio.

So in this scenario, Desmond would have played lots of board games. Maybe one of his coworkers in Bad Weather liked board games and would invite his coworkers to play during the weekend or something and Desmond enjoyed it because it felt like he was connecting with people without lying about who he was.

In this situation, I think it would be funny if Desmond making board games he remember to play with Petruccio would lead to Leonardo discovering him as a genius ‘game maker’.

How?

Because a lot of the board games Desmond remembered needed more than two players (although Petruccio does love Patchwork and they play that a lot) so the other Auditore siblings (and sometimes their parents) get roped in to play with them as well.

The Auditores are competitive kids and even Petruccio shows his fangs during this time (even if the main reason why Petruccio is being competitive is because he doesn’t want to lose in front of Desmond and, really, the three try their best to support their youngest brother's puppy love but their thirst for victory superseded any familial love they feel for one another).

So Leonardo gets roped in to the weekly (biweekly? Triweekly?) board game night and he sees all of the many board games Desmond had made and he starts to interview him about them and Desmond tries to answer all of them, admitting that a lot of the board games are actually versions 2 or 3 because he had to tweak the game balance (since he didn’t remember all the rules) a lot of times which embarrasses him. This only makes Leonardo think highly of him because admitting that it’s not perfect meant that Desmond strives to keep upgrading his work.

Leonardo’s sudden interest in Desmond makes Petruccio jealous though and he already had to be make peace with how Desmond seem to be ‘like’ Ezio (in Desmond’s defense… he’s bias to Ezio thanks to his life as Desmond Miles).

But he can’t do anything because Leonardo is a friend of the family and a loyal friend for that matter and…

Well…

Leonardo was also trying to help Petruccio try to get Desmond’s attention.

It all comes to a boil when in one of the more stressful board games (I’m thinking maybe Nemesis or maybe even Werewolves/Blood on the Clocktower), someone (probably Claudia?) calls out Petruccio’s actions as less of him playing to win but playing to make sure Desmond wins and that’s cheating because he can’t let his love for Desmond be the reason why he’s willing to lose the game and drag everybody with him.

And everyone just grows quiet…

And Petruccio runs away.

While Desmond’s just sitting there, having his own “Oh my god, he loves me! Why didn’t I see that? Oh Jesus Christ, I’m so dumb! Why didn’t I notice it???” and “Do I… Do I love Petruccio??? Have I fallen for him without realizing it???” breakdown on the inside while he just looked at the board game blankly.

This would happen when Desmond and Petruccio reached like maybe 18 or 19 (so yeah, no Auditore execution event because Desmond had been busy).

Leonardo would actually be the one to talk to Desmond and he would talk about how the real reason why he fell in love with Desmond’s board games (which they’re working on selling soon) was because it was made with love.

Each carving done by the same pair of hands each time…

Each stories engraved in the board…

Each rules to ensure fairness…

Desmond wasn’t just making them for fun.

They had always been a labor of love.

But the question then becomes…

Who was Desmond thinking of when he was making all of these board games?

And Desmond just stares at Leonardo before he goes, “Thank you.”

Leonardo just smiles back as he asks, “I’m not the one who needs to hear the truth about these board games now, am I, Desmond?”

“Yeah…” Desmond stands as he agrees, “I should… I need to talk to Petruccio.”

Leonardo nods and watches as Desmond rushes back to Palazzo Auditore.

Ah… young love…
