Love how Ratonhnhaké:ton is actually a controversial character in other apps and then in Tumblr he's basically just

Connor and Haytham

[ibnnlahad]

"the only difference, connor, the only difference between myself and those you aid is that i do not feign affection" oh haytham. you may not feign it but you fight it. you fear it. you don't feign it so you feel it so obscurely when you do that in the end you die in its cause

I know some of y'all have missed my text post nonsense, so here's the glorious return of the silliness!

I FOUND THE VOICED CUT SCRIPT LINES!! THE EMOTION IN THEIR VOICES?? THE WAY HAYTHAM SCREAMS ‘NO’??? ADRIAN AND NOAH YOU NEED TO PAY FOR MY THERAPY AFTER THIS BECAUSE OH MY GOD???

[amesrealmm]

Was going back through the AC3 script photos I took and cross referencing them with the game footage I have saved and realized these lines were cut:

ALSO

Connor originally cradled Haytham as he died…

Don’t mind me, im just gonna loose my mind over these findings-

I left it in the tags because I can't fully articulate all of my thoughts about it ㅠㅠ But it's something I noticed and that Connor also points out in the game, where he says Haytham's been "talking a lot but has shown nothing".

Haytham talks like a Templar, there's no denying that, but his actions don't match his words like, at all. He claims to want "order, purpose and direction" but he's even more unpredictable than Edward was when he was younger. He always runs head first into danger without thinking (which always gets him in trouble and he has to be saved by someone else), killed a Templar grandmaster for personal revenge (revenge is an Assassins trope - see for instance Ezio, Connor, Arno, Kassandra, the beginning of Eivor's story, and most importantly Bayek and Aya), went against Lee's decision to have Connor executed at the last minute and saved him without anyone ever knowing, dropped off the face of the Earth to go on a camping trip with his girlfriend and had to be tracked down and pestered by Lee to focus on his damn job, heck even his endorsement of Lee is practically a whole façade. He says he supports him but in his journal he literally wrote that Charles doesn't have what it takes to be in Washington's place (he also says he's "too British to get the support of the American people" which is hilarious coming from him) and he honestly sounds so done with the Order as a whole. And one of the most un-Templar things he did was to drop the search for the Precursor site after he realized he didn't hold the right key, and literally no other Templar Grandmaster would've ever done that. The Borgias, Vidic, Germain, the Order members of Bayek's time, heck even Torres (who's the only grandmaster other than Haytham I actually like as a character) were ready to kill anyone standing in their way to access whatever precursor site / Isu artefact they were after. Haytham was sent to the Colonies to get to the Temple. He found it, realized he didn't have the key, and instead of causing unnecessary bloodshed trying to find whatever would open it, he dropped the whole thing and left the site untouched.

And oh, he's the one who had to tell Connor that the "freedom" Washington and the Founding Fathers were promising only concerned white men (or as he calls them, "privileged cowards") and not the natives, and he was mad that Connor couldn't see that. But the Templars are meant to operate in the exact same way, so why speak of the concept of oligarch government with so much bitterness and vitriol ? If his problem was with the Founding Fathers themselves, he would've said so, like he initially did with Washington and his lacklustre battle record. But he didn't. He talked about privilege. His issue was the fact that they didn't give a shit about anyone other than themselves. WHICH AGAIN, is literally Templar ideology, but apparently Haytham doesn't subscribe to that.

It's like everything inside of him is screaming that all of this is wrong but this way of thinking is basically all he's ever known. Haytham says he's a man with Templar ideals and Assassin roots but for real he acts like a man with Templar roots and Assassin ideals. But he's too far gone to see it that way. The damage Birch did is irreversible at this point. That's why I say Haytham isn't irredeemable because he's evil. I don't think he is. But he's past the point of no return, and not even Birch's death could save him.

[dairsmuids]

literally all of this, omg. ^

haytham spent his entire life acting like a walking contradiction because that's exactly what he was. being bred for a certain future from a young age, only to be ripped from that and groomed for a very different kind of future. he was failed by his primary caregiver**, then deliberately isolated from anyone else who ever knew or genuinely cared about him. poor baby never had a chance in hell.

(**and i know there's the debate of 'did reginald threaten tessa into giving up haytham or was she genuinely traumatised by haytham taking someone's life in front of her' , but either way, to me it's a failure on her part)

haytham doesn't truly know who the real him is, and by the time he starts to realise that this is the case (ie, when he learns the truth about birch and kills him), he's much too old and alone and psychologically worn down to change it.

haytham holds on to the wrong and the bad, grips it with both hands and lives deeply in denial until the day he dies, because it's all he has.

[anli-rambles]

Not to add onto this post again and make it endless but I'm not kidding when I say I have SO. MANY. THOUGHTS. About Haytham. And then you talked about his death and it made me have even more thoughts, lol.

There's a lot of talk going around about Haytham letting Connor kill him. Not only do I think it's 100% a fact, I think this is one of the reasons he did it. Not because he knew death was his only way out, but because he saw in Connor what he knows deep down he should've been. Connor is his legacy — not the American rite. I don't think Haytham sent Lee away to protect him. I think he sent him away to make sure Lee wouldn't kill Connor.

His last words to Connor are also telling. "I won't caress your cheek and tell you I was wrong, I'm sure you understand." I don't think Haytham is saying that to make Connor believe he has no regrets — if that was the case then he wouldn't have left him his journal, because that thing made it pretty clear that he's at the very least very unhappy with how his life turned out. Haytham can't bring himself to admit that his whole life was a lie. That's a reality he's just unable to face. It's too hard for him to admit that he's been the puppet of the man who killed his hero, his father, this entire time. I think he clings onto the Templar Order partly as a way to prove to himself that no, he wasn't manipulated — that he has made his own mind, that this is his own choice, that he's doing exactly what Edward taught him to do. That way it doesn't feel like he's failed his father by serving the monster who betrayed and killed him.

Denial is his only coping mechanism because facing the truth would probably break him apart. The void inside of him is already crushing as it is. So his only way to move forward is to stick to what he knows, even if his values are in complete opposition with it.

Again, I have so many things to say about this man that it's hard not to get tangled up in my own analysis, but I hope this at least makes *some* sense.

[anli-rambles]

Never seen anyone more confidently wrong than those people who call Haytham the worst father ever when he lives in the same universe as William Miles

[dairsmuids]

👀 alright you twisted my arm so here goes, time to rant about william miles

FORCED his son into being an assassin. desmond never got a say in the matter. and let's face it, if william was more than happy to physically assault and verbally demean a fully grown adult desmond in front of witnesses, what's to say of the treatment desmond must've suffered as a child and in private? no wonder he ran away, poor kid.

(i also find it infuriating that the beginning cutscene of assassin's creed 3 is essentially just william ranting about desmond. just the arrogance in which he says some of that shit makes me so mad: 'he had a heritage he chose to deny... it nearly cost him his life' HELLO??? so essentially what you're saying is that because he didn't want to be like you, he deserved to be kidnapped and tortured by your enemies. cool. noted. got it. thanks, father of the year.)

even when desmond storms abstergo hq to save william, and later on when desmond is about to sacrifice his life to juno & co., william gives him absolutely nothing. there's just no emotion there. that's your fucking flesh and blood and you can't spare a 'thank you'? a 'hey you did so well son, i'm proud of you'?

also the fact that layla gives william her condolences over desmond's death and his reply is simply 'occupational hazard' makes me fume.

he saw desmond purely as a commodity, as a pawn to train and utilise as he saw fit, and showed zero remorse for it - even after his son fucking died for the cause.

[anli-rambles]

Or when Desmond is in a coma from his exposure with the Apple and instead of, you know, DOING LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE, he just tells Shaun and Becs to put him BACK into the Animus ??

If I remember correctly, in AC3, Des snaps at his dad and tells him HE can just get into the machine since Haytham & Connor are his ancestors too, and William immediately gets defensive and tells Desmond he isn't taking his job seriously and I'm just like... no but for real though. If this mission is so important to William then why isn't he going in ? Most parents would do that for their child. But not William. He gives no shits.

Haytham showed more care for Connor just by choosing not to kill him than William ever did for Desmond and that's saying something

[dairsmuids]

for real though, and the 'you hop in the animus, he's your ancestor too' was such a valid point from desmond. even if william couldn't see that from an emotional pov as desmond's father, you'd think he would see it from a logical one as head of the assassins - because surely it makes sense, if you can, for them to alternate so that desmond can take breaks and avoid exhaustion, enabling them to find the information they needed faster? but no, that would be too clever for billy boy, wouldn't it.

i also feel like people who make comparisons between haytham and william can't seem to see that the reasons they even have sons are totally different. i feel like william only had a child with his wife specifically so he could carry on his assassin lineage. it certainly makes sense, given how desmond was forced into training from an early age. he didn't want a son, he wanted a dynasty. whereas with haytham, let's be real here, didn't deliberately plan to be a father but at least connor was the product of genuine love from a genuine relationship? (as a side note, hayziio is a ship i will cry about til the day i die, just saying)

haytham saved connor from being executed, tried to work with him in the hope that they would find common ground, and even left his journal to connor basically saying 'hey, i know i wasn't the dad i could've been to you - pls read my journal and it'll tell you why'

meanwhile, william can't commit to showing even an ounce of care or feeling.
