I'M WILL GOING BUCK WILD WITH THIS PLOT LMAO

Ah, ah! I was reading stuff on The Old Guard tag and now all I can think of is

Kassandra as Andy cause she is literally older than Jesus fucking Christ

Altaïr & Ezio as Nick & Joe cause WHY NOT

Arno as Booker cause he's a bloody drama queen

F!Eivor as Noriko cause DRAMA

Desmond as Nile cause they're BAMF and all come together on a AltEziDes with Arno suffering on the background and Kass looking like a proud lesbian mama lol

Bayek would be a good Andy too, and Connor and Shay also give me NickJoe vibes lol

Ooohhh, I’m always game to think about immortality-based plotlines XD

Kassandra as Andy would be spot on, especially if F!Eivor is Noriko/Quynh. Although, instead of a Labyrs, her main weapons would be the pointed tip of a spear and a Viking axe. She’d also be more on the calm chill side and happens to like to tease her fellow immortals. (To make it more interesting, maybe F!Eivor and her also met in the Isle of Skye and their relationship blossomed there as well)

Altaïr and Ezio as Nick and Joe would be a pretty fun pairing as well, especially if we keep Altaïr’s whole ‘distant and kinda arrogant’ personality. Ezio would be the one to remind him if he’s being too rude, sometimes with just a touch, because, even if they’ve been immortals for so long, some habits are hard to let go of. Ezio likes to joke that Altaïr is a work in progress which everyone knows is his way of saying Altaïr is trying. Altaïr, on the other hand, may act aloof most of the time but he’s quite protective of Ezio and there is no one in the world he trusts more than Ezio. Their personalities tend to clash at times and everyone knows that they sometimes spend half a century or so apart because of some dumb fight neither of them wanted to acknowledge responsibility with. It’s just become part of their whole deal that everyone just nods along to. Then Desmond comes in.

Arno as Booker would work. Just replace the death of Booker’s sons with Élise’s death (for more pain, maybe imply that Élise may have been or may have not been pregnant during the time of her death).

But you know who else could work as Booker? Haytham Kenway. Instead of being part of Napoleon’s army, keep his whole deal, including his actions to help the British Empire. But this time, he is the one to kill his own son instead. The American Revolution still played as history had recorded it so Haytham has to live his immortal life with the guilt of killing his son for nothing. He’d also be the most aloof of the Immortals and perhaps even be jealous of how ‘easy’ it is for everyone to move on. (Plus points if he treats Desmond the way he treats his son before and he only realizes it when Desmond tells him to stop treating him like an idiot, only digging in the guilt of how his relationship with his son was).

Eivor as Quynh/Noriko also gives us an excuse to… well, torture Eivor. While her imprisonment would be of a similar fate to Quynh/Noriko, we can include her being subjected to a blood eagle in Odin’s name. If you want to hammer in the angst, make Sigurd the one to do it. Of course, if Eivor and Kassandra met on the Isle of Skye, the events of Eivor’s life would have to be shuffled around to make it more coherent. Her imprisonment could be because of Sigurd or because of the Saxons.

And then there was Desmond. One main difference between Desmond and Nile would be their attachment to people. If we keep Desmond’s strained relationship with his parents, he would actually be more open to being immortal. He would hide his desire for a connection with practiced smiles and his chill personality although he wouldn’t fool Kassandra. It would be his desire for a connection but hiding it from everyone that makes it easy for him to fall for both Altaïr and Ezio. Neither of them planned to fall in love with Desmond, maybe they even started out a relationship with him as more of something fun and uncomplicated (like having the immortal version of an ongoing sexual and emotional threesome) which Desmond was cool with (he didn’t expect to fall for them too) while they’re teaching him the ropes and helping him acclimate with his newfound immortality. It would only be later that they would realize that Desmond is like the missing piece in their life.

Other possible ideas:

Ratonhnhaké:ton and Shay giving off Nick and Joe vibes? Color me intrigued. This one also has the additional emotional baggage of Shay being employed by Haytham who Ratonhnhaké:ton killed so, like… they say their relationship is ‘complicated’ and that would be an understatement.

If Arno is Booker, he would have had a relationship with Jacob Frye. Maybe his relationship with Jacob is what helps him move on from the pain of Élise’s death but Jacob isn’t an immortal soooo… (holy wow, Arno has, like, the short end of the stick in this one if he’s an immortal. Haytham doesn’t count, he deserves to feel the guilt)

Bayek would definitely be a good Andy as well. If you go for Bayek instead, Quynh/Noriko would have to be Aya. Although, if you just want Bayek to be included in the plot, he could be Lykon instead? Another possible Lykon is Alexios/Deimos as well and that would definitely be some angst for Kassandra.

Of course, Merrick would be Vidic, hahaha. Maybe Copley could be Layla or even Lucy?

Why are they immortals? Why do we need to explain that? Let’s keep it a mystery but make vague points of how it might be connected with some kind of Isu research to achieve eternal life.

#do assassins and templars still exist in this one #sure but they’re more in line with their historical counterparts than ac lore counterpart #ask and answer #kasseiv #is that their couple tag #idk #no usual tags because #altdes #ezides #altezi #altdesezi

Mini Fanfic #1123: Sharin' the View Together (Persona 4 Arena)

7:34 p.m. at Shichiri Beach........

Teddie: (Let's Out a Relaxed Sigh as He Watches the Sunset Alongside his Girlfriend Labyrs) Isn't the sunset beautiful in this time of day, Labby-chan?~

Labrys: Sure is. It's bright, orange, shows off it's reflection on the ocean pretty well. Kinda makes ya forget that summer's about to come to a close.

Teddie: (Places his Hand Onto his Chest in a Very Dramatic Fashion) 'Tis a shame for a joyous season to come to a tragic end!~ And even bigger shame that I, Teddie Haramura III, have fail to achieve my goal to become big and muscular!~ And less scary than Kanji-Kun.

Kanji: (In the Distance) Oi!

Labrys: (Snickers at her Overly Dramatic Boyfriend) Simmer down a bit there, Shakespeare, there's always next year. And I'm sure you'll be able to grow a muscle or two one of these days, not like need 'em to begin with.

Teddie: (Sits Back Down) Yeah, but have you seen Inaba's Finest Weekly? (Picks the Magazine Up Beside Him and Shkws Labyrs a Page or Two) Research states that over hundred ladies would rather go out with guys who are more manly and have beary huges muscles and biceps than those with skinny bones.

Labrys: (Shrugs) Then that's their preference, ain't no changing that. (Forms a Seductive Smirk on her Face) But me personally, I like my man sweet, handsome, a little on the skinny side....(Playfully and Gently Pinches Teddie's Cheek) And an overall cutie~

Teddie: (Giggles Ticklishly While Blushing) Oho Labby-Chan!~ You always know how to make my day even more brighter with your kind words~

Labrys: (Smiles Brightly) Well, everything I say is the truth, ain't it? I love ya to pieces, Ted!~

Teddie: And I love you pieces as well, my dear magnifique princesse~

Labrys: Ah~ I see your French is startin' to get better there~

Teddie: (Smiles Proudly as He Begins to Sparkle) You notice~ I work my absolute hardest to perfect my fluent in the language of romance!~

Labyrs: (Goes Back to Smirk) Just to try and impress me?~

Teddie: (Let's Out a Loud Gasps Before Pouting and Turning Away woth his Arms Crossed) To become a respectful gentleman, thank you! ('Sighs in Defeat') But to....also impress you, yes.

Labrys: (Chuckles Lightly as Put her Her Arm Around Her Teddie and Pull Him into Loving Hug) You are such a casanova dork!~ But I appericate your efforts though~

Labrys starts kissing up on Teddie's cheek, causing him to giggle once more, for a few seconds before taking a look back at the bright, orange sunset in question.

Labrys: ('Sigh') But yeah, the sunset here does look gorgeous. 'Sure 24 would love to see this too.

Teddie: (Turns to Labrys With a Bit of a Confused Look on his Face) 24?

Labrys: She's a friend of mine from way back, the first friend I've ever made to be exact. (Begins to Frown) A friend who's......not here with us right now.

Teddie: (Frowns as Well as He Realizes What Labrys Meant by her Wording) Oh no....I'm so sorry for your loss, Labby-Chan.

Labrys: (Smiles a Bit Sadly at her Boyfriend) Thanks, 'hun, but really, don't worry it. It's been like, what? A few years since she been gone? I've already made my peace with that since then. (Looks Back at the Sunset) And I'm definitely sure she wouldn't want me to sit around and mope about it all day n' night. Best I can do is to honor her wish and keep livin' my life forward from here, till the bitter end or whateva'..

Teddie: (Gives Labrys a Reassuring Hug and Smile) And I'll be more than happy to stand by and live through life with ya, Labby-Chan. There's still a lot we don't know about the world around us, but I'm 1005% positive that we'll get to experience all of it in no time!~

Labrys: (Snickers Some More) Don'tcha think you lotta percentage ya got there, Ted?

Teddie: Why, of course!~ How else am I gonna show you how beary serious I am?

Labrys: Welllllll, you could be a gentleman and give momma some kisses~

Teddie: Hmmmm....... Seems like a pretty tall order. (Smirks Seductively) But if it's a request made by my beloved knight princesse, then who am I to refuse?~ (Starts Kissing Up on his Girlfriend)

Labrys: (Giggles Ticklishly by Teddie's Love and Kisses) Your French is startin' to lose it's edge already, Teddie Bear!~

????: Hey! Lovebirds!

The couple cease their romantic antics for a sec as their turn their attention to Kanji, Naoto and Nanako in the mid distance, picking up their stuff for today.

Kanji: We're about leave soon, so quit foolin' around already!

Nanako: (Smiles Brightly) Dad just called. He already sliced up the watermelon for us! Cone on!~

Teddie: Oooh!~ Watermelon Slices!~ (Gets Up From his Seat)

Labrys: What do they test like again? Been wantin' to test onr for myself, but I never got around into doin' so before.

Teddie: It's only the most yummiest fruit ever made on this planet!~ Unless you put salt on it. Then it'll taste salty and bitter. (Offers Labrys his Hand)

Labrys: (Accepts her Boyfriend's Gesture as He Helps Get Herself Up on her Feet) Really now? And does it has the same taste effect when ya put pepper on it?

Teddie: (Starts Walking Towards His Friends While Holding Onto his Girlfriend's Hand) You know, I'm not sure. Yousuke used to forbid me from laying a single finger on the pepper shake, so I never know what it'll taste. Ooh! Do you think we should combine that with the salt with one of our slices when we get back?

Labrys: Teddie, that's the craziest idea you ever thought of. (Smiles Brightly) I'm in.

Teddie: Ye!~

notes: hey i just meeeeeeeet you and this is crazy but let’s escape from this place together maybe?

“What kind of witchy fuckery are we in now?” She asks, tone ever so tired at waking up on a foreign environment, her hands clenching as she realizes she cannot shift on this environment. Gritting her teeth, she shifts her gaze to the witch on the corner of the room and sighs. She has to go find Hazal, but she won’t be able to do that stuck on this ugly ass place. “Any clues as to what to do now witchy?”

Potentially Problematic Genealogy of #cottage core (Entry 03)

Where can religion, queerness, feminism, purity culture, and other fandoms lead on Tumblr?

My research so far causes me to feel like I need a conspiracy board to explain. This is because if you start somewhere innocuous, such as exploring queerness and seeking resources or community for one’s queer identity, as many youth come to Tumblr to do (McCracken 156), you will likely start with relevant tags such as #queer, #LGBTQ+, #gay, #lesbian, and #transgender. As was already explored with the intersections between transgender related tags and TERFs, the #lesbian tag will also quickly lead to TERFism, especially with the anti-trans appropriation of the labyrs symbol/flag, as seen in the two posts below where #lesbian and #radfem are directly correlated.

Searching for most LGBTQ+ content will also lead to the aesthetics of such, be it pride flags, educational blogs, or art; but for the purposes of this research the connection to the #cottage core aesthetic is the most noteworthy because #cottage core is a nexus of intersections with religion, queerness, feminism, and purity culture. “Cottage core” is characterized as pastel colors and an idealized European-esque rural/country life.

The first branch of #cottage core will lead to the 1950s aesthetic, then #trad wives and traditional gender roles, then Christianity and biblical womanhood; then you have returned to the very purity culture someone may have been trying to get away from. Refer to the following four posts.

The Christian purity culture side is often accompanied by posts containing anti-Satanic rhetoric or general sentiments against other religions, anti-queerness, and support for chastity and repressed sexuality. Unfortunately, due to the nature of Tumblr, finding posts can sometimes be difficult with certain topics and this is one of them. The particular intersection between Christian traditional life posts and anti-Satanism and disdain for non-Christians is documented by STRANGE ÆONS and has also been anecdotally observed by myself.

The connection #cottage core has with traditional gender roles can lead back to feminist discourses resisting those traditional views and purity culture, but can also lead to the anti-feminist and Women Against Feminism sides of Tumblr which will be evaluated in several instances later. Moving from traditional gender roles you will see posts contrasting the “liberated feminist” (negative) with the “traditional wife” (positive), then to the Trad Girl memes and Men Going Their Own Way, both of which will intersect with Nazism/white supremacy as the Trad Girl meme has racist connotations and Men Going Their Own Way view white women as “corrupted” by feminism thusly requiring them to exclusively seek out non-white women for sexual/romantic conquest, then these tags will move to Christian nationalism, and back once again to purity culture. This genealogy is documented in the eight posts below.

Additionally, #cottage core breaks off to become radical anti-capitalist escapism, then queer discourses mostly centered on subverting Christian influence; that leads to neopagan/witchcraft and/or Satanism. Both of these will loop back around to Christian purity culture and biblical womanhood through those fandoms’ anti-Satanist/non-Christian perspectives. This pipeline is witnessed in the next seven posts below.

However, as much as the previous pipeline through queerness to neopaganism/witchcraft seems to be a more liberative pipeline someone can stumble into to get away from oppression and find queer solidarity, there is a noteworthy divergence. Neopagan/witchcraft can branch off to the #goblincore aesthetic which will return through queerness, anti-capitalist escapism, and back to #cottage core; but the other branch will lead to the Nazi/white supremacist sides of neopaganism, then back to Men Going Their Own Way, which can then become Christian Nationalism, traditional gender roles, and once more back to purity culture and biblical womanhood. Fortunately Tumblr’s current content moderation policies seem to have made it difficult to show explicitly Nazi/white supremacist connections to neopaganism, but here is an article from the University of Alberta discussing this, and here is one from The Atlantic. Moreover, the Asatru Folk Assembly (often abbreviated on Tumblr as AFA) is a notorious Nazi/white supremacist religious organization based out of California; this is similar to the Odinic Rite though their home location is unknown. Both groups use the Nine Noble Virtues, the “Black Sun” sigil, and reference Asatru as dog whistles and to provide subtle covers for their ingrained bigotry and origins in the German Nazi Party. Other Nazi/white supremacist neopagans/witches unaffiliated with Asatru Folk Assembly or Odinic Rite will also use the Black Sun, Nine Noble Virtues, and/or Asatru as ways to signal each other both in-person and online. Below is an example of a post/blog that is clearly aligned with neopagan/witchy Nazi/white supremacist ideologies and below that is a call-out post/meme attempting to educate others about the Black Sun and connections to Asatru. The latter post serves as a great example of additional important discourse also being added in the tags.

The last genealogy for now is #cottage core, to the #coquette aesthetic. #coquette is characterized by hyper femme, young/teen girlish aesthetics, and often contains overtly Christian imagery with crosses, crucifixes, angels, and commentary rejecting the religion (usually found in the tags). Interestingly, #coquette tends to lead in two different directions which both return to Christian purity culture. The first pipeline – shared in-part in the three posts below but which I will not be completing for obvious reasons – goes from #coquette, to #loli and related kink tags like #dd/lg (Daddy Dom, Little Girl), which then lead to pedophile/Minor Attracted Person (MAP) discourses, those then intersect with both Men Going Their Own Way and traditional womanhood/gender roles as pedos/MAPs want girls before they are “corrupted” by feminism, then you have practically returned to Christian purity culture.

The second pipeline, seen in the next two posts, starts at the intersection of #coquette with #divine femininity, then that can either lead back to the queer and neopagan/witchcraft pipeline; or back to the #lesbian, to #RadFem/#gender critical/#TERF, then to those groups’ supposedly resisting conservative gender roles but actually creating their own “anti-trans purity culture of ‘womanhood.’” Considering gender criticals and “gender ideology” originates with anti-feminist right-right Christians and was heavily disseminated by the Catholic Church who claimed gender egalitarianism, sexual liberation, and LGBTQ+ issues were all an attack on family values (Pearce 681), are these TERFs and trans-exclusionary lesbians actually as far removed from Christian purity culture as some of their posts would indicate?

Being able to perfectly screen capture the full genealogies of Tumblr posts centering on queerness, feminism, religion, and purity culture (or any topic) is not always possible due to the mysterious nature of the platform’s algorithm. Sometimes there are posts with no tags which clearly state something related to the tags for which you searched, posts can get removed by the creators or content moderation, and the posts under popular tags like #lgbtq, #Christian, or #cottage core will substantially change every day. Since factors like follower count, verified accounts for celebrities/public figures, or artificially boosted posts are not part of the algorithm none of them are directly related to how popular a post becomes, resulting in anyone suddenly gaining unforeseen engagement for a random post they made recently or in the past. However, the amount of interaction you want on Tumblr can often be finely tweaked using tags to increase or decrease one’s chances of being noticed. Additionally, the built in privacy and anonymity of the platform, combined with these other factors, results in Tumblr being referred to as a black hole, considering you can never be certain what or whom you will find and causing it to be different to navigate (though many sources will claim “difficult”) (Cavalcante 1715-1716; Keller 8). Considering all these factors, Tumblr genealogies are best discovered organically as one routinely engages on the platform over long periods of time, thereby making it hard to perfectly record the numerous interactions retroactively or quickly.

Due to this black hole nature of Tumblr, queer youth seeking to find support can seemingly end up in problematic fandoms or back to the very purity culture and religious oppression they came to the site to escape. But is this really a problem of Tumblr’s? As discussed in Entry 01, the transgender technology of Tumblr enables forms of expression no other social media site can, which is absolutely necessary for communal grassroots discourses, solidarity, and activism for queer, BIPOC, disabled, and feminist perspectives. This “meaningful diversity” is powerful and appealing to much of the existing userbase and to the marginalized youth and young adults who continue to come to Tumblr for that very diversity while figuring themselves out (McCracken 158-159). Thusly, I suspect that demanding or somehow legally requiring the platform make changes reducing the pipelines to problematic fandoms cannot be done without impacting the “transness” and meaningful diversity of Tumblr. Plus, unintentionally encountering or being sucked into harmful communities in the real world and on other social media sites are already risks. What then can be done to mitigate people falling too far down the wrong side of this black hole or help people avoid and resist oppression in other aspects of life?
