Finally... FINALLY

His card... IS FINALLY MINE

—the shore

Malik's death in Revelations was tragic and violent enough as it is, but if you take into account how Altaïr's relationship with Malik began, it feels very targeted on Abbas's end.

Think of how it began with Altaïr's worst mistakes, getting his younger brother killed and Malik's arm ripped off. I'm sure Abbas was there to see him nearly expelled from the brotherhood, I'm sure he heard the fate of the Al Sayf brothers. Only for Altaïr to take that horrible mistake and its consequences and become the best possible version of himself, from unable to handle any responsibility to becoming the youngest mentor the brotherhood ever had. Even his relationship with Malik would go from animosity to close and trusted friend. You could argue that Malik was his GREATEST friend, other than Maria and his own children. The kind of growth and maturity it would take from both of them to get to that point is frankly astounding and for all Ubisoft's faults I think AC1 and Revelations did their due diligence with that

And then Abbas took that all away from him and never let Altaïr move past those mistakes he worked so hard to correct. How do you think he felt, being sent the severed head of the man started his journey with by severing one of his limbs? The mistakes of his youth cost Malik his arm, and now they've cost him his life in such a way that defiled and violated his body even more horrifically, after Malik trusted and loved him like a brother.

I like to think that Malik died protecting Sef from wrongful execution and defending Altaïr's honour. That the man who faced some of the bloodiest consequences of his past mistakes kept his youngest son safe and his reputation intact at the end, even at the threat of death for himself.

Hell, I imagine Malik was a bit of an uncle figure for Darim and Sef growing up. Perhaps the very thing that got him executed in the end was trying to keep Abbas's blades away from Sef.

Oh no... Whatever shall I do??

WAKE UP SOLDIERS

WTF (Small... Crack)

GN! MC

*****

Diavolo, Barbatos, Lucifer and MC are in Diavolo's study room to play some card games. While they were playing, MC received a call. Upon picking it up...

MC: Yeah?

MC holds their D.D.D. between their head and shoulder, eyes not taking off from their hand to arrange the cards in strength.

Luke: MC, please help us...

MC: Hm? What happened?

Luke: Solomon... He, uh... He's in the kitchen. Half naked, covered in whatever sauce and is running around the burning stove yelling... Macarena?

Just as he said that, MC grabs their phone and stares at the screen, face unamused. Can they go one day without having to deal with Solomon's shit? Don't get them wrong. They love Solomon with all their heart but often times, they always clean up his mess. With a sigh, MC places their cards downwards and stands.

MC: I'll be there in five...

Luke: *sounds traumatized* Please hurry. Now's he's on the counter doing some-

Simeon: Simeon here. Get here as quick as you can. I've shielded Luke's eyes. He's on the counter... Twerking, as you people say

MC: *pinches the bridge of their nose* Oh, for the love of- I'll be there *hangs up*

Diavolo: What happened?

MC: I'll explain later. I need to save the kitchen for a bit

Barbatos: WHAT?! *gets up and grabs MC's arm before zooming out from the room*

Diavolo: ...

Lucifer: ...

Diavolo: So... Should we peek at their cards?

Lucifer: *sighs like the tired mom that he is*

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO APPRECIATES SOL AS MUCH AS I DO😭GOD I LOVE HIM SM

why solomon isn’t as shady as people say he is

aka guys pls he is just 🧍🏽 Standing there let him live

basically kai the absolute madman asked me about solomon and i took that as an excuse to go off. spoilers for pretty much all three seasons. i tried to avoid devilgrams as much as possible though and i’ll probably make another post about devilgrams/texts bc they are,,,,, so good,,,,,, and i love him so so much. but tldr: solomon is a good boy who’s a little socially inept but he lives by specific rules and stands by them. he’s not malicious or evil he’s literally just a witty dork of a man that i love with all my heart and more. more ramblings and screenshots below ^w^ (also sorry i forgot to change my name to “MC” for the screenshots so you’ll have to bear with my mc’s name as a placeholder dkjsfh)

Let me tell you a story…

(King’s Crossing, a little preview 🖤)

"Kill Me."

[A Diluc x Jean fanfic]

Warning: Death, angst, mentions of torture

Note: This was actually supposed to be a Diluc x reader but JaeLuc angst is just... Yea

"You have to kill me."

Those are the most ridiculous words that have ever escaped Jean's lips the entire time Diluc has been together with her. Yet...

"Of course, love."

He raises his claymore, ready to slash it down her body. Though his expression and stance says that they're ready, his eyes do not. Jean slowly looks up to his hands and notice how they're barely shaking. A sad smile made its way to her lips.

"It's okay."

Diluc didn't want to do this. Not at all. Not after he finally finds the only person that can make him feel feelings he had long forgotten, the only one that can finally make him smile so happily and genuinely, the only one who can make him relax despite all the burden he's carrying on his shoulders. He was not ready to lose the person he loves the most.

"Jean, I..."

The blonde looks straight into his eyes.

"Do it."

"I..."

Muffled voices are heard from afar, yelling, "Find the traitor!"

Diluc is not ready to lose the love of his life, but he's also not willing to give her up to the knights. With one final loving look from Jean, he brings the flaming claymore with all his might, hoping that he can end her life in one slash. The once highly respected Acting Grand Master coughs out blood before her body collapses onto the ground.

The nobleman puts away his claymore, eyes desperately scanning any signs of life from Jean but much to his disappointment, there were none. Eventually, the knights find him and Jean's corpse.

"Master Diluc. I assume you have taken care of her?" One of the three knights question.

"Of course. Now, take her away and release the others." He ordered, staring at the leader of the group with a sharp glare.

"As per your request, Master Diluc."

To think that Jean was labelled as a traitor just because she was falsely accused of being in shady businesses with the Fatui angers Diluc and as a result, Barbara, Lisa, Amber and Kaeya were locked up and interrogated the hard way. He had visited them. They all were in bad conditions after receiving countless of beatings.

He was determined to save Jean, but his efforts were in vain and the only way to end her suffering is to take her life. To watch the life in her eyes disappear as quickly as he brought down his claymore onto her body, it kills him.

To say he was devastated was an understatement. He didn't even say or receive one final 'I love you' before she left him for good.

Hihi! ive taken up writing letters as a hobby on the side, and it’s got me wondering:

How do you think agszc would approach letter writing? This can be a very broad question :) as im sure some of them write back home / write to eachother during wutai, but i’m specifically curious whether any of them but genesis bother with any of the fancy stuff. (wax seals and custom stamps, the specific stationery paper + envelope sets, the nice fancy fountain pens, etc…)

hope ur having a good night alto! its been a while :)

Hey! Always great to hear from you 😊

Sephiroth is needlessly formal about all forms of letter writing. His penmanship is absolutely flawless and he always uses the most professional wording possible, even if he's just sending a letter all the way to the frontlines of Wutai to basically tell Genesis to shut up. He has his own personalized wax signature since he's mister big fancy corporate hero man.

Intimidated, jealous, and a little excited at this, Genesis makes it his mission in life to outdo him. Fancy red ink, flowery language, and the parchment always seems to smell like perfume. He always over emphasizes his name in the signature, so much so that it's practically BLEEDING ink from being so emboldened. Angeal points out that he could always send an email or a text. Genesis tells him to be quiet.

Angeal writes basic letters like a normal functioning human being. He likes collecting stamps on occasion and categorizes him based on the level of importance each letter holds. No flowery or formal language here! "Dear Genesis, please don't throw the cadets off the side of the ravine for fun. Love, Angeal"

Zack's writing is borderline incompressible, with messy scrawl that clusters all over the paper to the point where it's hard to make out what he's even saying. But don't worry, he provided visuals. Doodles as far as the eye can see. And about eight different stamps since he isn't sure if he's doing this right.

Cloud's penmanship is surprisingly very impressively neat. He didn't even notice until Sephiroth leaned over his shoulder while he was writing home and commented about it. Cloud had a heart attack, of course. Cloud makes a full attempt to try to help Zack improve his writing, but gives up after Zack determines that the only way to fix it is if he adds more stickers.
