THIS IS A WIP (the shading omg I tremble) but I’m blaming @pianokantzart for getting me into the Mario fam vibe. Their amazing analyses plus wonderful fics (YES I READ THEM SHUSH) made my head drift into ‘what if’s’ scenarios and pls. Just. Papa Mario coming back from work tired, only to find out Mamma hasn’t come back from her work yet (coming from an immigrant family, everyone works, there’s no ‘house wife’ in an immigrant family), and finds the twins crying so he does his best to calm them down (he’s not very good at it) and finally after reading ten billion stories they fall asleep and he sits down with them in his arms (because he’s afraid to wake up plus, they are so cute!!!!) and ends up falling asleep on the couch, to be found later by his wife (who totally does not take a picture as quickly as she can).
I've been thinking of a little 'what if' thing where, yes, Desmond looks like his male ancestors, but he has the facial expression of his female ones down pat.
Altair is over working himself when he hears a twin clearing of throats, and he looks up to see both Maria and Desmond with the same exact look of 'I'm not mad, just disappointed' and he begrudgingly puts everything away under their watchful eyes.
Ezio does something stupid and risky, and he has to do a double take when the look on Desmond's face is a carbon copy of Maria's patented 'are you fucking serious, you idiot?' look she would give Ezio and Federico whenever they would get in trouble.
Connor does something to make Desmond smile, and his breath gets caught because that little mouth twitch, the scrunching of his nose, the gleam in his eyes, those are all his mother and just seeing that ghost of her breaks his heart just a little bit so he looks away.
Just Desmond being just as much of a descendant to his other ancestors.
FINALLYYYYYY. My guys of the jury, this has a tracked 30 damn hours and boy does it feel like it. ANYWAYS, I return for more AU shenanigans because Get Redeemed Loser AU lives in my head rent free. Felt like a nice way to experiment with more vertical style comics? Which is SM EASIER TO PANEL THAN CLASS LAYOUTS. I get why they're so much more common nowadays. Comic,,, so satisfying but at what cost,,, i'm tired. So proud of the top half tho :3.
Okay back to AU brainrot, Mark and Wasp fighting over one of their core differences! I think this is early in their relationship where Mark still thinks Wasp can at least understand what it's like being Nolan's son, only to get smacked in the face with how pride Wasp holds in that title. Anyways, look below to see my suffering made into video.
local artist redoes like 4 damn panels 8 bajillion times and screams into the sky ♡ also if you want fic of this au you should read the fic that @avisisisis wrote about it, ooooo you wanna read it so bad, it's good :3
