How you see Connor as a father/husband ?

So sorry for taking so long to get around to this ask (honestly I love this question so much and I wanted to draw like. 5 things for it but time is short on my end unfortunately so I’ll just be wordy about it instead— sorry there’s only two pics !)

As a father:

Ratonhnhaké:ton is trying his absolute best to be the best dad for his children as possible. He’s probably got some paranoia and brief nightmares about winding up like Haytham and becoming neglectful or absent, so he’s motivated to break that chain. Besides, Achilles and Oiá:ner and the rest of his village taught him well.

He looks to other more experienced parents for guidance, absolutely. On the homestead, Prudence and Warren and the whole lumberjack families would be more than happy to provide their own child rearing tips. Additionally, he refers to the more experienced figures in his wife’s village too.

Due to the assassin base being at the Davenport homestead, Ratonhnhaké:ton and his wife probably figured it best to divide their times growing up between the homestead and their mother’s village, getting a taste of the best of both worlds essentially while being convenient for both parents.

Connor and his love interest have two girls and a boy (Eldest son, middle daughter, and littlest daughter Io:nhiòte— all a few years apart). He does his best to give everyone their fair share of attention and treatment, and is good at hiding his own troubles when around them. But he loves nothing more than to spend time with them, and playing with them and making little crafts (some beadwork, husk dolls, wood carvings, doing his kids’ hair, etc etc, anything to keep those hands of his busy and to commemorate and keep his family happy).

He’s extremely patient and willing to listen, though when it comes to offering advice, he’d much rather do it with his wife beside him. He’s very protective of their kids, and very hesitant on if they decide to join the assassins in the future… he’s had nightmares about that prospect.

He takes a cue from Ziio, and keeps a few personalized books for practicing languages. Reading and spelling, both in English and Kanien’kéha. (In my headcanon, Ziio kept both a journal for herself to write in and a separate one for Ratonhnhaké:ton to learn English from, since she believed teaching him this earlier would protect him as they became further entangled with colonists). He follows in his mother’s footsteps of wanting to arm his children with knowledge to protect themselves, physically as well as with language and other street-smarts.

He and his wife greatly encourage clear and thorough (both in English and Kanien’kéha) and conflict resolution through those means. That’s a big rule within this family, to talk things through and nip issues at the bud, and to take responsibility.

When any of his kids are upset or sad, he encourages them to talk about what happened and why they feel this way. When words become too much, he’s more than willing to just hold and hug them while they cry against him. He doesn’t offer too many words, but he reassures that he’d be there for them, no matter what. He’s a very patient and present father, and he’d do anything to be the best father he could to his own children.

Also he lets his kids use him like a jungle gym. They’re climbing and clinging to him so much, and he doesn’t mind at all. He’s always wanted a family, and he couldn’t ask for any better one.

As a husband

Oh my god Ratonhnhaké:ton loves his wife so. So so much. He isn’t much for super gushy verbal affirmations but he lets it be known with how close he is with her physically, oftentimes hugging her and being much more outwardly affectionate.

He is very responsible for his share of the chores and responsibilities at home, for the home and for their family. And he likes to get stuff out of the way early so he can spend more quality time with his partner. Yeah He’s honestly a lot more physically and outwardly affectionate than most people would assume, cherishing every moment he can with her for fear of things cutting off too short due to events or reasons outside of his control. It’s not often someone in his line of work can have peace of mind, so whenever he can, he indulged in that.

His wife, while very much tied to the politics of her own village, has become a matriarchal figure among the assassin recruits due to her ties with Connor. He tries to keep her and the rest of her family safe, which means away from assassin business… which means they do spend some stretches of time apart, especially during more fraught times that would put them at danger. He hates being away from his family more than anything, but that encourages him to make up for lost time wherever he could.

He defers to his wife a LOT. Kids ask him for something they were already told no to, he’ll say “Ask your mother”. He always includes her in conversation and asks her for certain advice. In my hc, Connor marries into her village (same tribe, different clan), and has adapted well to them. Honestly, she’s the one in charge of most resources between em, both at the village and on the homestead (the world and politics of assassins is something she understandably rather would tiptoe around, that being more In Ratonhnhaké:ton’s wheelhouse). In addition, she helps him keep in touch w his culture after the events of ac3 and the move of his own village— which is beyond meaningful to him. The promise of a brighter future both for himself, the people he fights for, and her and their newfound are what drives him.

His wife encourages him to get out some more and interact/be more involved w community stuff. Also he nor the kids can get away with doing smth stupid when it comes to her bc ‘she always knows’. Nothing gets past her, and Ratonhnhaké:ton knows it (based off these little dialogues here from reflections issue 4)

Credit to her design and creation goes to @thou-babbling-brook !! It’s always a delight to draw her

But yeah we have always envisioned her to basically be a really nice compliment to Ratonhnhaké:ton, in design and demeanor and role. Needless to say, he’s a fantastic husband to her.

Sorry for the time it took to answer this, and the length of the post! Hope you enjoy it!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays! This is my Christmas present to @ramshackledtrickster that I wanted to share since even though it’s not particularly festive, it still has that shared happiness between Connor and Io:nhiòte that I think Christmas is all about!

Hope you guys are warm and safe this holiday season, and I hope you enjoy this piece!

Headcanon: Ziio taught Connor how to make little woven grass plaits because he tended to get restless and bored when Kanen’tó:kon and his friends weren’t around

Oiá:ner taught her this (“to keep herself out of trouble” she joked) because she also has restless hands

And eventually, that’s how Io:nhiòte learned how to do the little grass plaits, because Connor passed that knowledge onto her if she needed to keep her hands busy

(Inspired by this cute bit in reflections!)

I went to Barns and Noble this morning and found out theres a ‘Wheres The Assassin’ book. It’s a legit ‘Where’s Waldo’ book of just the assassin’s creed character. It sounds fun tbh, and they art was SO pretty. Now I kinda want one, but the only copy they had there was falling apart🤨.

Oooohh, yes. I've seen that one.

If you really want the book, nonny, it's still available on Amazon.

I remembered it because I checked the reviews for this book while I was trying to fill the whole 'get to $50 and it's free shipping!' promo they have at times and this one really stuck with me:

Poor Jacob hahaha

Also, apparently, Ezio's in the cracks?

I'm sure it'll be a fun book to read/play when you just wanna chill (and a much better AC merch than the other non-Culinary Codex AC cookbooks you can find on Amazon)

#it's in my wishlist and i'll probably get it sooner or later hahahaha #i love that they included io:nhiòte too #precious baby #love her in ac reflections #ask and answer #assassin's creed #official ac merchs

[kinkandkreep]

So if y'all ain't seen, I been on my ✨Ratonhnhaké:ton✨ shit lately and I was just sittin' here thinkin', and not Abstergo really wantin' me to believe that Connor really married a white lady that took his kids from him and left him to die alone.

Like come on now, Connor was naive, not stupid. 🙄

#for those who dont know #he ACTUALLY married a lovely native woman and had three BEAUTIFUL children #one of whom he named Io:nhiòte #which means RAINBOW 🌈 #Connor's such a softy I could sob 😭 #connor kenway #ratonhnhaké:ton #ac3 #assassin's creed 3

Lean on me

In which you help your husband wash himself after a long day.

In this fic you are Ratonhnhaké:ton's wife and mother to his children. Also this is an can be set in canon or modern au.

Paring : Connor Kenway x fem s/o

cw : fluff, some hurt, HEAVY COMFORT, slightly suggestive, soaping up Connor's body, hinting at height/size difference.

Word count : 553

Ratonhnhaké:ton is frozen beneath the rushing shower water. Steam rolls off his muscular back, facing toward you. Splaying his large hand on the wall, his broad shoulders tense. Paying you no mind as you slip into the slower with him.

Slipping your hand through his. "The girls are finally asleep in bed." Trying to ground him, when his brain caught reliving the past. Letting your hand go, turning around, anger and hopelessness hollow his face.

Grabbing your hips, Ratonhnhaké:ton spreads his large thick fingers out. "Thank you, love. You good?" His cheeks are thinner, with deepening dark circles beneath his eyes. The coldness melts in his narrow chocolate-colored eyes. His frown softens to a flat line.

Holding his face, reaffirming, "We're good," as he leans down, passionately kissing you, gently groaning. Parting your lips for him to slip his tongue into your mouth. Hugging Ratonhnhaké:ton tightly.

Slowly he breaks away, trailing kisses from your jaw to your neck. Biting lighting and squeezing along your sides.

Biting your lip to keep from crying out when he sinks his teeth in deeper. "I got you. Lemme take care of you." He pulls away kissing your forehead. "I have some hot chocolate waiting for us. We'll sit on the porch. I'll brush your hair out." You grab his round sponge hanging next to a loofah.

He won't talk, but you could attempt to distract him momentarily. Give him the attention and care he shows the kids and yourself. Pouring his scented soap onto it. The shampoo's back states a wonderful mix of eucalyptus, white birch, and cypress.

Scrubbing Ratonhnhaké:ton's broad, muscular chest, rubbing your fingers over his firm tits. Sliding your fingers over his well-defined abs. Trailing his loofa down, scrubbing his v-line and dark short hair. Carefully smearing soap down his soft, fat cock. Careful to make sure soap doesn’t get into his cockhead.

Letting go of his cock to squeeze soap from the loofa into your palm, fondling his balls. Ratonhnhaké:ton brings up, “I was thinking of cooking breakfast with the kids." He parts his thighs enough for you to clean his ballsack.

Smiling up at him, puckering your lips he leans down giving you a chaste, sweet kiss. "We got the stuff for triple chocolate chunk. You can help Io:nhiòte with the muffins, and the other two can help me with the omelettes and blueberry pancakes." Crouching in front of him, scrubbing down his well-toned legs, lingering on his muscular thighs.

Lifting his foot, his cheeks heating up. “You don’t need to do all this..I can wash myself.” Getting the other one, then standing up. “Aren’t you tired?"

Standing up, getting on the tip of your toes, he leans down for you to kiss his cheeks. Scrubbing his broad shoulders and neck. “I’m tired, but that doesn’t matter." Going down his muscular arm, grabbing his large hand, admiring the size difference between his and yours.

Switching to his other arm, "I want to.” Ratonhnhaké:ton's eyes widen momentarily, the corner of his lips pulling up into a soft smile. "We're a family aren't we, gotta make sure you’re taken care of." A couple of tears trickle down his cheek.

Holding your hand, rising the soap off, Kissing your knuckles. "I'm so grateful I have you and the children."

Dad n daughter doodle to calm me down for finals week

I love the concept of Ratonhnhaké:ton using a cane early on too, not just in old age (considering his nasty injury from the climax of ac3). Io:nhiòte follows in Connor’s footsteps into the assassin brotherhood, and she becomes a naval captain and diplomat to other brotherhoods around the world. She inherits his shengbiao/rope dart!!

[forlibcrty]

oh i should uh. i should write out my planned concept for the unity crossover, for my own reference and for plotting. let's go.

1783. the canon end of ac3, when connor returns to kanatahséton to find it abandoned due to his people being forced west. he takes time to grieve and reflect on everything that's happened. 1784. after months of grieving alone, he decides to seek out his community once more. he still feels deeply conflicted about how they'll receive him, given the trauma of the war and all that transpired in it, but he takes the chance to go. he's welcomed back warily at first, but he settles in the new home. 1785. he meets his wife, tekonwenaharake. the same year, their first daughter, kiawentí:io, is born. 1786. the couple welcomes fraternal twins, wahiake:ron and io:nhiòte. for several years, the family lives in relative quiet and happiness. connor continues to visit the davenport homestead every few months, to check in on the community thriving there. 1789. on one of his routine visits to the homestead, connor finds two urgent letters waiting for him. one is from the french brotherhood of assassins, begging for his help in an exploding crisis. the other is from his old friend, the marquis de lafayette, begging the same. both tell of the assault on the bastille and the escalating revolution. he is extremely reluctant to go, but his sense of obligation urges him at last to accept the pleas. he promises his family that he'll be back as soon as he can. 1789, some months later. after a long journey, he arrives in paris. he meets bellec and the rest of the assassin council. he finds himself a little disturbed by how much hero worship they seem to place on him, but he vows to do his best to help the situation. he meets the young disciple, arno, and takes a slight fondness to him, due to seeing the parallels between arno's start with the assassins and his own. 1790–1794. still to be developed. i think connor doesn't stay long past the lead-up to the fall of robespierre and the jacobins. he tries for some time to lessen the bloodshed and to prevent war breaking out between britain and france. as things grow more dire and chaotic, however, he chooses to withdraw, and he returns home shortly before robespierre's execution.

#( * reference. ) #( * timeline. ) #i need to talk more about how the french revolutionary brotherhood puts him on a pedestal #painting him as some incredible leader of the american revolution and completely erasing his personal struggles #and frankly the. parallels. between how the brotherhood regards him and the way the templars regard haytham. #both sides paint these two men out to be things they really are not and it really really disturbs connor #especially when he meets élise at some point and realises how warped her idea of haytham is #layers! like an onion!

[docdalas]

i rly wish there was content of achilles with connor's kids like there is with haytham and connor's kids like come on. achilles would adore those kids god he would spoil them rotten. connor trying to be a responsible parent and then achilles sneaks them treats and gets them more toys than they need. the way his face would light up when asked if he could watch them for a few days or the pride and joy seeing connor as a dad after everything he's been through, he deserves nothing less.

Day 5: Building

Eeesh, I really have to catch up. The last few have been kinda dark, so I figured it was time for a happy one! I didn’t wanna draw an actual building, so I figured building a snowman would still count lol.

And yes, I totally did sneak my own OC in there. Ottie is Connor’s oldest daughter, Io:nhiòte’s older sister. I also gave them slightly more winter-ized outfits. Gotta keep warm, ya know? Though Connor might not be after he finds his coat covered in snow....

What if after Desmond runs away from the farm instead of ending up in the city he finds himself where his ancestors are at the same age

Also side idea that I had while typing runaway Desmond ends up after the ancestors have the children who lead to Desmond so that we can have them being paternal about the kid who keeps slipping away somehow and Desmond being like "wow the people dad sent after me are rant persistent" before finding out they don't know Will at all

So I had a post about Desmond being pushed into either the Third Crusades or to Renaissance Italy when he ran away but I can’t find it TTATT It’s somewhere here in Tumblr, don’t know where though. Hopefully, I can get to it during my Tumblr posts to AO3 ‘copying’ (still in Dec 2022 XD).

Anyway, in a nutshell, that idea had Altaïr and Desmond being very close to one another because they’re both isolated and had nobody else and it would be so easy for them to tip the scale to fall onto “us versus everybody” mentality for the two of them (especially since that idea had Desmond not become an Assassin so Al Mualim is using him to keep Altaïr in check).

The Renaissance Italy idea is more light-hearted, if I remember correctly? More on the side of Desmond having a happy family life thanks to the Auditore family.

I didn’t include it but Ratonhnhaké:ton’s version of this idea was pretty much reused for the Yew Branch A New Way To Do Things.

The main idea is that, since this is a Desmond that has not been in the Animus, he has no idea who these people are and the events that will happen (hell, he won’t even be able to know their language immediately) so he’s just trying to survive and live the best he could. This means he cannot stop the tragedy that will happen (or, in Altaïr’s and Ratonhnhaké:ton’s case, he would be too late to stop it). The Renaissance Italy version could have a happier ending since Desmond would be there for the arrest though. Probably. At the very least, Giovanni would order him to take Petruccio and run, so… at least Petruccio would survive. Probably.

Now, as for the second idea.

Since this is a Desmond that never went to the Animus, he wouldn’t know how important these children are so we will have…

Sef and Darim

It would be Sef who finds him and he’s just a traveling merchant who went to Masyaf to sell his stuff. Sef would always visit him and ask him about this and that.

Darim finds him while looking for Sef and Desmond just gives him another one of the sweet breads he buys for him (and Sef).

This goes on for days until Malik finally visits his stall and talks (interrogates) him. That’s when he finally learns that the two kids he’d been talking to are the kids of the head honcho of this place. And he’s currently out and the kids are a handful (Malik may or may not imply that their parents’ frequent journeys are to blame) so he offers Desmond a job as their ‘caretaker’. Meals and lodging are included, the pay is great and Desmond is getting tired with all the traveling. Plus, Malik promises he doesn’t have anything to do with the Brotherhood.

At that point, Desmond is already fond of the kids so he agrees.

When Altaïr and Maria returned to Masyaf, they’re greeted with Malik going “I found your sons a caretaker and they might like him more than they like you. You have no one to blame but yourselves.”

Flavia and Marcello

But for this one, Desmond could be working in Firenze for a merchant that Sofia likes to go to. Flavia and Marcello would go with their mother and they’d get close to Desmond.

One time, Marcello gets lost and Desmond finds him. He brings him home and that’s how Ezio meets him…

And now for the kicker. This would be the angstiest of the three ideas to be completely honest considering how old Ezio died and the fact that Desmond doesn’t even know about his connection with Ezio during this time, which will only serve to hurt Ezio.

Io:nhiòte and her older siblings

For this one, we’ll have Desmond become part of the homestead. He got there by ‘accident’, he was just walking around and found their homestead. Luckily, Oliver and Corrine needed help in the inn so he helps out, in exchange for lodging and food.

Io:nhiòte is the one who finds him first and Desmond just plays with her and shares his food. Her two older siblings find them together and Desmond becomes close to them.

Ratonhnhaké:ton would visit the tavern one time and thank Desmond for playing with his children. Perhaps he’d try to recruit Desmond into becoming an Assassin but Desmond would say no to it which Ratonhnhaké:ton would understand.

In this one, Ratonhnhaké:ton sees Desmond primarily as his children’s favorite friend.
